The Recommendation OF "U.n

Ninety-nine out OF every hundred
Northerners will say institoot instead OF
institute, dooty for duty-a perfect
rhyme to the word beauty. They will
call new and news, moo and noos-and SO
on through the dozens and hundreds of
similar words. Not dictionary in the
English language authorizes this. In
student and stupid, the "u" has the
same sound as in cupid, and should not
be pronounced stoodent or stoopid, as
so many teachers are in the habit of
sounding them.
Ifitis vulgarism to call door doah
AS we all admit-isn't it as much of a
vulgarism to call n newspaper a noos-
paper ? One vulgarism is Northern,
and the other Southern, that's the only
difference. When the London Punch
wishes to burlcsque the pronunciation
OF servants, it makes them call the duke
the dook, the tutor the tooter, and a
tube a toob. You never find the best
Northern speakers, such as Wendell
Phillips, George William Curtis,
Emerson, Holmes. and men of that
class, saying moo for new, Toosday for
Tuesday, avenoo Tor avenue, or calling
a dupe u doop. 1t is fault that a
Southerner never falls into. He has
slips enough of another kind. but he
doesn't slip on the long "u." As many
OF our teachers have never had their
attention called to this, hope they
will excuse this notice.-Sontheyn

This is natures renovator, and is as
necessary for cleansing the feathers oi
fowls from vermin and promoting the
secretions of the skin from impurities as
a water or vapor bath is to the hun an
family. II we watch the habits of fowls
we will see an instructive desire in the
young and old to have frequent access
to the dust heap. Before busting they
will pulverize the material if in Jumps
and will then adjust their feathers and
by the rapid action of their claws are
enabled to dust thoroughly, and by
shaking rid themselves of lice.
Breeders who value their fowls and
look TO their comfort and health, usu.
ally provide them baths. But there is
another class of poultrymen who never
think of such things. We say to these

to make it more efIectual in removing
verniin, mix pound of the flour OF
sulphur in the dust heap. Avoid using
wood ashes that is wet or has the least
moisture in 1t, as the lye will iniure the
fowls feet, head and wings. The dust
heap should be get in sunny hook oil

should be accessible to the birds at all
times. By pursuing this course you
will have reason to be thankful, and at
the same time you are following nature
in her wise provisions and teachings, and
the benefits of comfort, cleanliness and
good health, which must naturally come
TO your fowls from babitual busting will
more than fully compensate you for
your trouble.-Pouitry Monthly.

Law-lbIding Fathers.

The anxiety of our Revolutionary
fathers to keep within the law, and TO
observe all legal forms. is shown by the
following, published in the Cleveland
(Ohio) Lcader:
When the war of the Revolution was
begun the continental congress took
measures TO show that the British gov
ernment was the party who first COM
mitted illegal acts and provoked breach
of the peace, thus throwing the responsi.
bility of causing the war upon the
parent country.
Accordingly string of depositions
was taken of witnesses to the fight at
Concord bridge, showing that the Brit
ish troops did then and there Commit
violent assaults and murder, contrary to
the law and peace" and tLat the people
were compelled, in self-defense, to re-
sort to force and arms to repel such
unlawful assaults and attempts at mur-
der, etc.
Among the depositions were two taken
of witnesses who participated in the
fight at Concord.
They testified under oath that they
were members of n militia company, and
were ordered out for the purpose of pro-
tecting the peace and resisting the at
tempts OF a body of lawless men, known
as British soldiers, to invade the rights
and premises of the people for the pur-
pose of robbery, committing murders,
and so on
That the militia to which they were
attached stood in line at one end of Con-
cord bridge, while the unlawful COM
bination opposed to them were drawn
up in line at the other end of the bridge.
That the aforesaid combination did.
in an illegal manner, and in violation OF
the peace of the Commonwealth, open a
murderous fire of musketrv, and fired
two volleys, resulting in the death OF
several members of the aforesaid militia
company, and it was not till after these
two volleys had been fired that the
aforesaid militia company returned the
FIRE.
1t was in this manner that the old
continental congress proved that the
overt act was committed by the English
troops.

FROST.

| am sitting alone at my window,
With the SOFT southern breeze my check
Where the Ia dscape glOws bright in the sunlight
And the flocks the cool recesses seek;
Ana the voices of birds are around me,
. And the llowers yield their sweetest perfume,
Yet amid all this freshness and beauty
MY heart Is enshrOudcd In gloom
For the hand of disease is upon me,
And struggle against IL IN vain,
While my days pass me by like u shadow
And my nights are familiar with pain.
And my heart oitentimcs sinks within me,
And turn from the future with dread
Since the hopes which once frightened life's path
wav
Tr m NY bosom forever have n.d.
And cry, In the depths of my anguish,
"No sorrow is like to my own"
Forgetting, the while, His great suflerings
Who for us trod the winc-prcss alone
Then cover my lace with confusion,
Unto remorseiul reflections prey,
AT my childish reluctance 10 follow
where lie has himself I leu the way
then, would strive TO be patient,
And pray that may not complain,
Though spirit and flesh both should fail me
And this body be wri.hing in pain;
For Pm certain that he who Is faithful
His promises all will mlnl,
And though walk through the dark valley,
His presence doth comfort me still.
Then to Him T. commit all my future,
In Hi strenet will walk and be strong;
For know tnat so long AS lie leafs me
The way will not seem very long;
And when earth no longer can clam me
- When the trials of life shall be past,
To the rest which rem aims for His people,
He will bring me in safety at asi.

that Mrs Winslow's Soothing Syrup was

for the child. On reaching home and
acqua,nting his wife with what he had
done, she refused to have 1t administered
TO the child, as she was strongly IN favor
of homeopathy. That night the child
passed in suffering and the parents with.
out sleep. Returning nome the day fol.
lowing, the father found the baby still
worse; and while contemplating another
s'eepless night, the mother stepped from
the room to attend to some domestic du-
ties, and left the father with the child.
During her absence he administered a
portion of the Soothing Syrup to the
baby, and said nothing. That night all
hands slept well, and the little fellow

The mother was delighted with the sud

at first ,ffended at the deception practlc.
