TREATMENT OF FA1N.-The little nerve OF
feeling which runs through all parts Of the
human body, carries to the brain intelligence
of disaster and of pleasure. The evil mes
sages they bring are called pains. A pain
admonishes US that some injury is done to
part of the body-a finger jammed, toe cut,
an arm burned-or that some part is over
worked or wearied end must have rest. The
nerves but do their duty, when they report
faithfully these thin ., and our duty is to re-
pair the mischief wi ch caused the nerves to
report in the way o: pain.s But many per.
sons are annoyed by these evil messages, and
only seek to silence the messenger. The i'm
mediate call is for something to "still the
pain" Fortunately, the means employed are
sometimes such as correct the evil at once,
and so put an end to the trouble reported by
the nerves. Especially is this the case when
cool water is applied to cuts and burns-the
relief and the cure begin and 60 on simulta,
neously. The same result is usually attained
when hot water applications Cor fomentatlons)
are made to bruises and sharp pains of various
kinds. Pain, which results from OVERRIDING
of any kind, is most reasonably "stilled" by
rest-general rest OF the whole body, and es'
pecially rest of the overworked part. Any
thing that tends to equalze the circulation OF
the blood, or to make all parts of the body
comfortably warm and no warmer, helps to
set the nerves at rest, or to stop pain and
disease Not long ago we saw man who
was suffering with violent headache "a neu-
ralgic general toothache) furiously kicking
first with one foot and then with the other
working to get the blood from bis head to his
heels, because he had found that the most
effectual way to cure his headache.

Too COOP TO BE Losr.-The following
from an exchange is too good to be lost :: .
We have friend-or, with the emphasis
of the inimitable Toodes, we havs friend
who, for the nonce, we shall call "the Major"
thought his right to the prefix is somewhat
questionable. Now the Major has had,
through life one besetting sin, and that is an
uncopquerable love of a certain game of cards
known as vingt wn, which is the French for
twentyone This we'll known game, fat
wife and large family, are about the only
weaknesses that can be laid to the Majors
charge. How often he has been married the
record sayeth not, nor is it important. Sui.
fee it that during over thirty odd years of the
Majors welded life, as his wealth increased
and his hairs become gray, one after another,
in regular succession, his board was honored
with the presence of miniature editions OF
himself, until the number had reached twen-
ty, when the Major concluded things had
gone far enough and should be stopped. But
they didn't, as the Major in due time found
out, for he had calculated without consulting
his wife. There were indications of another
bond of union and well-spring of happiness.
The Major became nervous, for his nomencla'
ture was exhausted In his desperation, be
finally declared that the coming heir to bis
name and fortunes, whether boy or girl,
should be named vingt un.
In vain the old woman demonstrated. The
Major was inexorable. The new conner, be-
ing the twenty first, should wag his way
through life with that appropriate title. In
- u -
nouncement of the little strangers sex. The
nurse appeared, and to the Majors horror,
whispered the terrible word-t,rins "Busted,
by thunder yelled the Major "why didn't l
stand on t,oenty ?"

BIG BRINDLE.

In Nashville, many years ago, there resi-.
ded gentleman of great hospitality, large
fortune, and, thoug b uneducated, possessed
of hard knot sense. Colonel W. had been
elected to the legislature, and had also been
Judge of the county court His elevation,
however, had made him somewhat pompous,
and he became very fond of using big words
On his farm he had large, mischievous OK,
called "Big Brindle," which frequently broke
down his neighbor's fences, and committed
other depredstions much to the Coloneis
annoyance. One morning, after breakfast,
in presence of some gentlemen who had staid
with him over the night, and who we're now
on their way to town, he called his overseer
and said to him.
"Mr. Allen, desire you to impound Big
Brindle,' in order that l may hear no more
animadversions of his eternal depredations."
Allen bowed and walked of, sorely puz-
zed to know what the Colonel meant. So,
after Colonel w. left for town, he went to
his wife and asked her what Colonel W..
meant by telling him to "impound" the OK.
"Why," said she, "the Colonel means to
tell you to put him in pen"
Allen left to perform the feat, for it was no
inconsiderable one, as the animal was very
wild and vicious and after great deal of
trouble and vexation, he succeeded.
"Well," said he, wiping the perspiration
from his brow and soliloquizing, "this is i'm
pounding, is it? Now, I'm dead sure the
old Colonel will ask me if have impound-
ed Big Brindle, and I'll bet I'll puzzle him as
bad as he did me"
The next day the Colonel gave a dinner
party and as he was not the least aristocratic,
Allen, the overseer, sat down with the COM
pany. After the second or third glass was
discussed, the Colonel turned to the overseer
and said:
"Eh, Mr.. Allen, did you impound Big
Brindle, sir?" 80
Allen Strengthened himself, and looking
around the company, said:
"Yes, did, but old Brindle transcended
the impannel of the impound and scatterlo,
phisticated all over the equanimity of the for,
est"
The company burst into an immoderate fit
of laughter, while. the Colonel's face redened
with discontinue.
"What do you mean by that, sir ?" said
"Why, I mean, Colonel" said Allen, "that
old Brindle, being prognostigated with the
idea of the cholery, ripped and tared, snort
ed and paved dirt, jumped the fence, tuck
to the woods, and would not be impounded
no how"
This was too much. The company roared
again, in which the Colonel was forced to
join, and in the midst Of the laughter, AL
len left the table, saying to himself as he went,
81 reckon the Colonel won't ask me to i'm
pound any more oxen."

ASSISTANCE FROM PEovIDENCE.-AC Con-

FARM TooLs.-Farm tools will rust out
sooner than they will wear out. Many far
mers will ipjure their farm implements more
by exposure to the weather than by the use
on the farm. An implement which with good
care would last twenty years, will, when ex-
posed to the weather, become useless in five
years or even less. A farm cart which, with
good usage would last almost a life, would
last only few years when exposed to the
weather. The explanation of the reason why
farming does not pay with many, is found in
this neglect to take care of the farm tools.
All farm implements are costly, and the far.
mer who has to buy three or four times as
many as his neighbcr, because be does not
take care of them, of course will not find
much profit in farming. The same careless
ness in any other kind of business, would in
sure equally as diss trous results.

H6r There are several methods of destroy,
ing lice on cattle. A very simple and harm.
less one is to apply an infusion made with
quassia. Procure from druggist portion,
say half pound of quassia chips; place
them in vessel and pour either cold or tepid
water on them; the infusion is ready to use as
soon as it becomes decidedly bitter, and is to
be applied by washing the parts of the ami.
mails most affected by the parasites. The in.
fusion is not poisonous, and the cattle may
lick themselves as usual without danger.

A SIMPLE REMEDY FOR BARKED TREES.
In the Fall and Winter Of 1856, l was
obliged to keep couple Of goats for the sake
of their milk, for an infant. During my ab-
sence to the city ore day in the Winter, the
goats got loose and committed depredations
in my garden, by stripping the bark from
several young apple and pear trees, and
through a broken paling found their way in
to neighbours garden, and subjected his
apple and pear trees to the same treatment,
gnawing the bark off as high as they could
reach. supposed the trees we're all killed,
and concluded to experiment on those in my
own garden. procured several newspapers,
cut them into convenient strips for handling
and covered them with good boiled flour paste,
wrapping several thicknesses around the
wounded parts of the trees, thus forming an
artificial bark. My trees we're covered with
foliage during the Summer and Autumn, aud
I could not perceive any difference in them
during the whole season. My neighbor did
nothing with his. In the Spring and early
part of Summer, they looked promising, but
as soon as the extreme heat of Summer touch
ed them, they were withered and completely
dried up, with an abundance of shoots from
the lower part of the trunk below all the
wounds. All the trees are about six years
old, and were transplanted from nursery
about three years since. There were two
young elms on the front road that shared the
same fate as my neighbours trees. Can it be
that the covering protected the circulation of
the sap and answered the same purpose as
the natural bark ?-American Agriculturalist.

The lady with whom l have stopped is a

She supports "hennery," and from her |
derived my information in this matter. She
told me, for many years she had been in the
habit of administering to her hens, with their
common food, at the rate of teaspoonful OF
cayenne pepper each alternate day, to doz'
en- fowls. Last season, when l was with her,
each morning she brought in twelve or four
teen eggs, having but sixteen hens in all.
She again and again experimental in the
matter, by omittirr to feed with the cayenne
for two or three days. The consequence in.
variably was, that her supply of eggs fell of
to FIVE or six per day. The same effect of
using the cayenne is produced in Winter as
well as in Summer..-Boston Transcript
