Too Late

Some men are always too late, and, therefore,
accomplish, through life, nothing worth naming
II they promise TO meet you at such an hour, they
are never present till thirty minutes after No
matter how important the business, either TO
yourself or TO him, he is just as tardy. If he
takes passage in the steamboat, he arrives Just
as the boat has left the wharf, and the cars have
started a few minutes before he arrives His
dinner has been waiting for him 50 long that the
cook is out of Patience and half the time is OBJ
hged TO set the table again. This course the
character we have described always pursues
He is never in season, at church, at place of
business, at his meals, OF in his bed Persons of
such habits We cannot but despise. Much rath-
er would We have man too early too see us, and
always ready, even if he should carry out his
principles to the extent of the good deacon, who
Is following to the tomb the remains of a hus-
band and father, limited to the bereaved widow
that, at proper time, he should be happy to mar
~ her. The deacon was in season; for scarcely had
the relatives and friends retired to the house be-
fore the parsOn made the same psOp0sitOn to the
widow. ''iou are too late," said she; ''the dea-

Patent Right Extortions,

The 4merioaH DdiryHRaH, in discussing the Pat
ent Laws, which provide for furnishing the in
nocent purchaser of patented articles, SAYS in
abiding to the barb wire decision: Here is a
case in which many thousands of farmers, all
over the West and Northwest, will be held liza
BILE for royalties, for using an article which they
bought in good faith, and ons of which they
could have no means of knowing that it was an
Infringement. Prof willard shows that the
same thing has occurred and is occurring in the
dairy, and that relief should be granted by
amending the patent laws, so that the innocent
purchaser or user of the article should not be
made to suffer for the sins of Others; but that
the manufacturers and vendors should be alone
held responsible or indictable for infringements
of patentsr

TURNING Stock on PAsTuREs.-It is now the
middle of March. 1t can not be long, and if we
have as early spring as seems probable, it will
be but q very short time, even in the Northwest,
until grass will have made perceptible
growth, and the pastures will begin to look
green. There is always a temptation, and es-
pecally if other feed is not plentiful to turn all
kinds of stock out at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. We do not think this is wise The ami
mails are eager for the grass, but they often only
get q scant supply, while il is sufficient to give
them distaste for their winter food and what
grass they do get is often obtained at the ex-
pense of much travel, over muddy fields
Certainly, for the pasture, this plan is bad
The tramping of the animals, while the soil is
wet, is injurious, as is the close cropping
We think it better to keep the stock in their
winter quarters, until the weather has settled,
the soil become reasonably dry, and the grass
made fair growth. The change from dry to
green feed should not be made at once /; some
of the former should be continued after the
stock is turned to grass, and il is also best not
to allow them to remain ali day in the pasture,
at the very first.

Natures AnRsthetic.

Several evenings since was attacked with a
severe dental neuralgia. After resortng to fric-
tanning any relief, lay upon my bed, trusting
that sleep might come and give me respite. Still
the excruciating pain continued, and while was
suffering the "torturcs of the doubly damned"
undecided whether to arouse some tired druggist
for bottle of chlOroform or chop my head off
with decided preference, however, for the
chloroform,) / suddenly bethOught me of what
had read ON an anesthetc which we always
carry with us. Thereupon began to initiate
my lungs to their utmost capacity, and then for
chilly blew out all the air could. Immediately
the pain began to lessen, and after few repeti-
tons of the process it had entirely ceased, being
displaced by a delightful tickling sensation in
the gums, and furthermore know not, for in
less time than it takes to tell it was sound

Concerning Frozen Potatoes,

Concerning frozen potatoes, an English author
ity writes: I'VE know of no plan equal to bury
ing them in the ground. Dig trench, spread
the potatoes as thinly possible, and cover
them with the soil, which should be mixed with
the tubers; if this does not remove the frost and
leave the tubers sound, nothing will that we are
acquainted with. Potatoes that are left in the
ground all the winter are usually sound in the
spring, though on account of their nearness to
the surface, 1t is almost or quite certain they
had been frozen. We have often observed q po-
tsto that has been partly imbedded in the soil
frozen above where exposed, and sound below
where imbedded, yet the frost must have pene-
trated the soil below the potato"

THE SEA-GIRT ISLE.

Come fill the cup; well drink tonight
To the land that gave US birth;
The sparkling wine with its rosy light
Was made made for the soas Of earth.
And, oh if 4 tear our eyes should dim,
When We think Of the friends we miss,
Well steal n ray frum the goblrt's briin.
And battle the tears In bliss.
Then fill up the cup to the sea- grit isle,
To the dear remembered few,
Whose lips, perhaps, at this moment smile
In the home our childhood knew;
For, alas full many Year has flown
Since our parted bosoms met;
But affections chain was around us thrown
And its links are shining yet.
The strings Of the harp have murmured long.
With many u tale Of woe
But there's joy 10 night, and the tide Of song
From its innermost founts shall now;-
And memory. like an angel bright,
From Eden's blissful bowers,
Will fill the soul with a holy light
And cover the heart with flowers.
Yes, our country's love embalms the heart,
Wherever our banks may sweep.
As the leaves Of the rose. tho torn apart
Their share Of the perfume keep.
Then, thus while every goblet fnams,
Let this be the pledge we'll give
Our native land and our early homes,
And the land in which we live.

BRIGHT's DISEASE AND ICE-WATER..The idea
has recently been advanced that Bright's disease
is attributable to the immoderate use of ice
water and cold drinks, the facts being cited
that the people of this country 30 per cent
more ice in their drinks than the people of any
other Countrywide inhabitants of Greenland
not excepted-and that we have IS per cent
more Bright's disease. The wine-drinkng coun-
tries of Europe are said to be comparatively free
from the malady, while in America the progress
of the disease, it is claimed, has kept pace with
the increased consumption of ice.-LoRdoR Hedi-
