THE LUCKY HORSESHOE.



A farmer travelling with his load
Picked up horseshoe in the road,
And nailed il last to his barn dor,
That luck might down upon him pour;
That svery blessing known in lie
Might crown bis homestead and his wife,
And never any kind Of harm
Descend upon his growing farm.
But dire fll-fortune coon began
To visit the aSi0unded man.
His hens declined 10 lay heir ezgBI
His bacon tumbed from the pegs,
And rats devouTed the fallen legs;
HIS corn, that never failed before,
Mldew'd and rotted on the floor;
Hls grass refused 10 end in hay;
Ills cattle died, or went astray;
In shot, all moved the crooked way.
Next spring great drought baked the sod,
And roasted every pes In pod;
The beans declared they could not grow
b long 10 nature acted so;
Redundant insects reared their heads
To starVe for lack Of juicy food;
The slaves from TTel sides went on
As if they had the hooping-cOugh,
And nothing Of t useful XII d
TO bold together felt inclined:
IN Bhurt. il was no u.s. TO try
While all the land was IN fry.
One morn, demoralized with grief,
The farmer clamOreo for relief;
And prayed right hard To understand
What Witcherft now possessed his land;
Why hOu.e and farm 10 misery grew
Sines he nailed up that "lucky" shoe.
While thus dismayed DER matters wrong
an old ma chsnced to trudge along,
To whom he told with NORWOOD tears
How his aff irs were in arrears,
And what desperate state OF things
A picked-up horseshoe Sometimes brings.
Tie stranger asked to see the shoe,
The farmer brought 1t into view;
But wnen the old man raised his head,
he laughed outright, and gu ckIy said
No wonder skies upon you tr0w
You've nailed the no seshOe upside down.
Jus turn II round, and soon you'll see
How you and Fortune will agree"
The farmer turned the horseshoe round,
Aud showers began TO swell the ground;
The snishiBe ughed ann NJ his grain,
And heaps on efps Piled up the vain;
Ihe loft his hay cnud barely hold,
His cattle did as they were told;
Dis trui trees needed sturdy props
TO hold the gather ng apple eropsj
His turnip and potato fields
Aston shed all men nv theiI Yields:
Folks never siw such ears If corn
Asi his smiling bills WIRE born;
His barn was ia Of bursting bins
II " f. presented him with twins;
His neighb0rs marve Ell m re and mozo
TO see tn Increase In his store.
Aud now the merry farmer sings
There are two ways Of doing things;
And when loT good luck you would pray,
Nail up Jour horseshoe the right way"

Divine Indictment for sabbath Break

DAE4Ne JIt sLs2SHt 1OE SstDDasn E5FSaHlHgs
Toward the end of The sixteenth cent
ury, in England, Goods judgments !"
we're much in vogue. A Suffolk clergy
man, named Bownd, adduces many such
judgments. One was the case of a no.
bleman "who, for hunting on the holy
day, was punished by having a child
with head like a dogs" Though he
cites this instance, Bownd, in the mat
ter of Sabbath observance, was very
lenient toward nobleman. With court-
ier-like pliancy, which is not without its
counterpart at the present time, he
makes an exception in their favor !:
Concerning the feasts OF noblemen
and great personages or their ordinary
diet upon this day, because they rep
resent in some measure the majesty of
God on the earth, in carrying the image,
as it were, Of the magnifioence and pUis-
sance Of the Lord, much is to be grant

The civil war was regarded as o pun
ishment for Sunday dissertation. The
fire Of London and subsequent great
fire in Edinburgh were ascribed to this
cause, while the fishermen of Berwick
lost their trade through catching salmon
on Sunday. A drunken peddler, "fraught
with commodities on Sunday, drops
into river. One Utrich Schretorus, a
Swiss, while playing at dice on the
Lords day, lost heavily, and apparently
to gain the devil to his side broke ont in

afterward proved indelible, fell upon

The "youth-giving climate" of Cali
fornia has been so long pulled high as
the Sierras that it is queer to find San
Francisco paper lamenting the number Of
wrinkled sirens in that. city. "Ceme to
California" said the late banker Ralston
to visitor from the East, "aad you will
live twenty years longer The climate
may suit men, but it seems women fade
ander its golden skies rather prema-
turely. The San Francisco writer
ascribes the early wrinkles OF its women
to the lack of muscular exercise and the
consumption Of pastry. There is world
of truth in that, for while sedentary hab-
its enervate the general system, pastry
causes dyspepsia and loss of adipose
tissue. Fat is an enemy Of wrinkles.
The burrows on the forehead are late com
ing SO long as there is enough fatty It's
sue to supply waste. Women to be
healthy must exercise and eat life-sus-
tanning food. As for wrinkles at the COR
ners OF the eyes, vtllgaFly called crows
feet" it is enough to say that in many
cases they are produced by sleeping on
one side or the other. The pressure OF
the head On the softest pillow will, in
time, leave indelible marks about the
eyes. The choice Of beauty then is
between occasional nightmare while
sleeping on her back, or wrinkles from
sleeping on her right and left side.

The use of perfumes IN bedrooms often
covers up disagreeable odors, and noxious
matter is allowed to accumulate because
its ofensiveness Is not noticed Such
matter is always contained in exhalations
from the lungs and skin, even of persons
who are both healthy and clean.
We do not'refer to the carbonic acid.
which is thrown in large quantities from
the lungs, and in much less quantity
from the skin. This is not really poison
GUS, but there are other ingredients
which are. though their nature is not
fully known.
They are not gases, but solid particles.
They are readily absorbed by water.
damp walls, and moist paper, and pene-
trate wool and feathers They soon be-
come fatid.
Many forms. of filth are speedily de
stroyed by. the oxygen of the air, which
changes their character; but these ex.
halations are not SO readily destroyed, as
is evident from the fact that bedroom,
though freely ventilated, will retain its
f9tid smell for at least four hours.
The exhalations from the skin contain,
besides several harmless salts, several
fatty acids, and other noxious ingredients.
These latter are greatly increased in
number and kind by Ill health, for tbs
skin always vicariously aids whateve.
other excreting organ has become weak
ened by temporary arrangement, or by
organic disease.
The animal exhalations, when con-
densed on the window.panes and furni-
tnre, cover them with a glutinous mass.
which the microscope soon shows to be
filed with a matted vegetable growth.
between the stalks of which greenish
globules are seen constantly moving
about, accompanied by monads-the
smallest of animalcrles
When the condensed exhalations dry
up, they leave a somewhat sickly film,
the disagreeable smell of which is often
noticed in dirty houses. In a warm.
moist atmosphere this becomes putrid
and harmful. Says DR.. D. f. Lincoln
(ziemssen's Cyctopedi0(.
We ought to discountenance the use
of perfumes, or aromatic fumigations,
and to lay all the stress on frequent
scrubbing, or free admission of air and
light The first of these measures re-
moves, the second dilutes, the third
chemically disinfects, the organic i'm
purities, :" Il <
The above applies to ali rooms, in pro-
portion to their use. The frequent
scrubbing Of the kitchen, and the alb
sence Of wooden carpets, curtains, etc,
help to make the kitchen--in spite of the
smell Of cooking--the healthjest room il
