In the beginning of the disease re-
move the shoes, and rasp down the
heels and edges around the hoof, so
that the bearing of the animals weight
comes entirely on the sole and frog;
then place the forefeet in tub of warm
water during half an hour, and repeat
this three or four times daily during
two days; thereafter apply hogs lard
or some softening ointment to the feet
daily. Leave the animal without shoes
in a roomy box stall or comfortable
shed, with plenty of bedding. To keep
such an animal tied up in a stall with
inclining or sloping floor is objec-
tionable; he must have liberty to fire.
quently change his position. which can
not be afforded in a single stall.
As soon as the shoec have been re-
moved and the feet pared as directed,
the horse should be given laxative
dose of medicine; for which purpose
dissolve from one to one and a half
pounds of Glauber's salts in quart of
hot water, adding to the solution an
ounce of ground ginger, and give the
whole in one dose; then give every
hour, during six hours, ten to fifteen
drops of tincture of aconite; afterward,
during two or three days, give, morn
ing, noon and evening, each time, four
ounces of solution of acetate of am
monia, with an ounce of sweet spirit
inter, in half pint of cold water. If,
after three or four days, much pain and
tenderness should remain, fly blister
may be applied round the coronet, to a
space of three fingers width. The
horse should be tied so as to prevent his
interfering with the blister (by rubbing
it with his mouth), during six hours
after the application of the blister.
From sthe beginning he should be
kept quiet, in a comfortable, well ven
tilated place, and be well blanketed to
excite perspiration. The food, which
should only be given in limited quantity,
should be of loosening nature, such
as a mixture of steamed oats, bran and
flaxseed meal, together with only very
little hay, which should not be timothy.
When the urgent symptoms have dis
appeared, the horse should be given
liberty in the barnyard during day
time, when weather permits, and dur
ing summer be placed on PASTURE

Mark Twain on Blue.Jays,

''There's more to q blue-jay than any
other creature. He has got more
moods and more different kinds of feel
ings than any other creature; and mind
you, whatever a blue-jay feels he can
put into language. And no mere COM
monplace language, either. but rafting
out-and-Out book falkland bristling
with metaphor, too-just bristling! And
as for command of language-why, you
never see q blue-jay get stuck for q
word. No man ever did. They just
boil out of him. And another thing,
I've noticed good deal, and there's
no bird. or cow, or anything that uses
as good grammar as blue-Jay. You
may say cat uses good grammar.
Well, q cat does-but you let cat get
excited once; you let cat get to pull
ing fur with another cat on q shed,
nights, and you'll hear grammar that
will give you the lockjaw. Ignorant
people think it's the noise which fight
ing cats make that is so aggravating,
but it amt so, it's the sickening gram
mar they use. Now, I've never heard
jay use bad grammar but very seldom;
and when they do, they are as ashamed
as human; they shut right down and
leave.
you may call jay bird. Well,
so he is, in a measure-because he's
got feathers on him, and don't belong
to no church, perhaps; but otherwise
he is just as much human as you be-.
And I'll tell you for why. A jays gifts
and instincts and feelings and interests
cover the whole ground. A jay will
lie, jay will steal, a jay will deceive,
jay will betray; and four times out of
five o jay will 60 back on his solemnest
promise. The sacredness of an Obliga-
ton is thing which you can't cram
into no blue-jay's head. Now, on top
of all this, there's another thing; a
jay can outswear any gentleman in the
mines. You think cat can swear. Well,
a Cat can: but you give a blue-jay a
subject that calls for his reserve pow
ers, and where is your cat? Don't talk
to mel know too much about this
thing. And there's yet another thing,
in the one little particular of scolding-
Just good, clean out-and-out scolding-
a blue-jay can lay over anything, human
or divine. Yes, sir, q jay is everything
that man is. A jay can cry, a jay
can laugh, jay can feel shame, jay
can reason and plan and discuss, a jay
likes gossip and scandal, jay has got q
sense of humor, jay knows when he
is an ass just as well as you do-maybe
better. If a jay amt human, he'd bet
ter take in his sign, that's all.-Jim

THE ERRAND.

Do me courtesy,
Thou tall white rose:
Nobody knows
How the rain comes down
In the town.
Now, in my mind, I see
A deep-eyed girl
Watching the whirl
From her window-pane
Of the rain.
Slender as thou. is she,
All ways as pure,
As white, be sure,
With thy perfect grace
In her face.
Do me a courtesy,
Thou artless roses,
Nobody knows
How the rain comes down
In the town.
Knowing her value, she
Has still no art,
Opening her heart
For the common eye
To espy.
All know, as well es we,
The secret troth
Binding us both
Or they would surmiSe
From her eyes.
Go thou, and, secretly,
In thine own way,
Tell her this day,
Though so dark, Is white
BY her light.
Do me this courtesy,
Thou silent rose:
Nobody knows
How the rain comes down
In the town.

Keep and Utilize the Best.

If any one is entitled to the best it is
the farmer. He should not only keep
the breed from the best domestic ami
mails, but he ought to retain and use
the choicest of everything produced on
the farm. The man who sells the best
of his produce, and lives on what is in
ferior, is neither wise nor economical.
It is said that the late Edwin Hammond,
of Middlebury, VT. the noted sheep
breeder, would let no man Gull from his
flock. His best sheep he never sold.
If you get good thing, keep it, get the
good Of it, improve it, multiply it, make
It part of home, part Of life. A tree
takes the deepest root in the richest,
deepest soil. A mans life consists in
what he uses and enjoys and takes up
into himself. A man is worth what he
spends and what he does. rather than
what he locks Christian at Work.

Dryant's Religious Faith.

After the death of William Cullen
Bryant, questions were often asked re-
speeding the precise nature of his rellg-
ious faith, and it is we'll known how
"Thanatopsis" has been called pagan and
materialiStic. The Rev. DR.. Joseph
Alden, of Albany, has just published
through c.. =. Putnam's Sons, a volume
called Thoughts on the Religious Life"
10 which is prefiXed an introduction,
written by Mr.. Bryant, that was found
at the time Of his death lying on the
table in. his study. By some means u
was afterward mislaid, and when found
recently several pages of it were miss
ing. In this lragmentary condition 1t IS
now published, stars being used to de-
note the missing passages. In my
view" says Mr.. Bryant, "of the life, the
teachings, the labors, and the sutlerings
of the blessed Jesus, there can be no
admiration too profound, no love Of
which the human heart is capable too
warm. no gratitude too earnest and deep
of which He is justly the object 1t IS
with sorrow that my love for HIM Is so
cold, and my gratitude so inadequate
Mr. Bryant adds that if he thought the
religion of scepticism were to gather
strength, and become the dominant we"
of mankind, he should despair Of the
fate of mankind in the years that are 70
come" He trembles 'to think what the
world would be without Him (Chnstb
aud continues: Take away the blessing
of the advent Of His life and the bless
ings purchased by His death, in Thas

An Incident Of Our Var.

General GordonT United States Sena-
TOR from Georgia, was in the Gettysburg
battle, IN which General Francis G..
Barlow, Commander of the First Divis-
ION, fell, dangerously, and it was thought
mortally, wounded Two of his men
attempted to bear him through that
shower Of lead from the field but one
was instantly killed, and General Bar
low magnanimously said to the other:
You can do me no good save your
self if you can"
Gordon's brigade of Georgians in its
wild charge swept over him, and he was
found by General Gordon himself, lying
with up-turhed face in the hot July sun,
nearly paralized and apparently dying.
General Gordon dismounted from his
horse, gave him drink of water from
his canteen, and inquired Of General
Barlow his name and his wishes.
General Barlow said, Il shallsprobably
live but short time. Please take from
my breast pocket the packet of my wife's
letters, and read one of them to me =
which was done. He then asked that
the others lie torn up, as he did not wish
them to fail into other hands. This
General Gofdon did, and then asked;
Can | dc anything else for you, Gen
eral ?"
Yes" replied General Barlow, ear
nestly. "My wife is behind our army
can you send message through the
lines !"
Certainly will" said Gordon: And
he did. Then directing General Barlow
to be borne to the shade of tree at the
rear, he rode on with his command. The
wife received the message, and came
harmlessly through both lines of battle,
and found ler husband, who eventually
recovered
Since General Gordon's election to the
United States Senate, both he and Gen
eral Barlow were invited to a dinner
party in Washington, and occupied OPP
positc sides at the table. After intro
auctions, General Gordon said, General
Barlow, are you related to the officer of
your name who was killed at Gettys-
burg?'
Il am the man." said Barlow. "Are
you related to the Gordon who is sup
posed to have killed meW
81 am the man." said General Gordon.
The hearty greeting which followed
the touching story, as related to the in
terested guests by General Barlow, and
the thrilling effect upon the company,
can better be imagined than described. .
