SwELLED LEG IN HORSE. When O
cut or a bruiss in q horses leg is healed too
UuickIy. and before the inflammation has
disappeared from the wounded parts, the
limb will often swell and become hard.
This may be caused by absorption of. the
suppurated matter, which ought to have
been discharged from the wound. The
remedy is to give purgatives-the best,
probably, being One-ounce doses of hyposul-
phite of soda, with alternate doses of half
an ounce of nitrate Of potash. Cold astrin-
gent lotions and bandage on the limb may
be useful, or clustering may be needed. II
the horse is valuable, it would have been
wise in the first place to have employed q
veterinary surgeon. Hot tar should not
have been used on it.

Out walking with you now

That fancy could select
Flemish in my flowers
No artist can detect.
NJ, waiks are clean and smooth
As you can plainly see,
And If you'd see beauty

m0b No nor said the little lass,

No more than she was wise,

These thoughts they did arise:

A gentleman just of his type
The world has never seen.
So she took her pen and ink,
And on the paper white

An "Amen0 in the Wrong Place


/ attended church in the village
of c. on Thanksgiving day, and
heard an excellect and impressive
sermon from the Rev. Mr.. T on
the duties of citizens to their God
and their country. But | was ex-
ceedingly annoyed, yet amused,
with the continued and ill-timed ex-
carnations of rural elderl y gentle
manly who occupied seat in the
~anen corner" whose demonstra-
tiveness far exceeded his cautious
ness. E-
The speaker gave a brief synop-
sis of the history of the old world,
dwelling more particularly upon the
rise and fall of the Roman empire,
and said that his own history bears a
marked resemblance to that of Rome.
He cautioned his hearers to beware
lest disaster come upon this country
by electing to Office, as did the sol
diers of Rome, men known to be
corrupt, simply because they pro-
fess to represent the principles OF
their party, or through the greed Of
gain. -
"Why," continued the clergy
man. warming with his subject
"there are men in this country-ay,
and in your village-who will on
election dav sell their votes for one
drink of whisky. Not long since a
passenger on one of the steamers
plying on the Mississippi river was
heard TO boast during political dis
eussion, that no matter how bad the
man, If nominated by his party, he
would vote for him If the deUiI
himself said he, were nominated for
President would vote for him.
"Amin r. came the startling re-
Spouse from our friend in the cor
ner, to the utter confusion of the
clergyman and amusement of his
audience, whose audible smile might
have been heard blocks distant.
