A Singular Asset.

~ am a peaceablc man." said the
intruder, grasping his club with both
hands, "but if you don't come down
with $3.50 damages for my lascera
ted feelings the bombardmeng wifi
begin at once?"
The owner of the dog paid down
the money, as he was afraid the other
fellow might exasperate him if he
hit him with club of that size.-
The owner of the dog also said that
he was sorry the dog had bitten the
intruder's son.
"Why, he amt my son." said the
intruder.
Whose son is he, then?" asked the
astonished owner ofthe dog.
Gle is the son ofh friend of mine
who owed me $3.50, but he is poor
and the only available assets he has
was these dog bites on his body,
which he turned over to mo for col
lection"
"Well, I'll be bowed

Words Of Wisdom.


Want Of good sense is the worst Of
poverty.
1t costs more to avenge wrong than
TO bear them.
Impatience dries the blood sooner
than age or sorrow.
OF vain things, excuses are the
vainest.
After the battle of arms comes the
battle Of history.
Violent excitement exhausts the
mind and leaves it withered and
sterile.
Take your stand by the altar Of
truth and be not led or driven thence
by sophistry or by ridicule.
Hope is like the sun, which as we
journey toward it casts the shadow Of
our burdens behind US.
Under all speech that is good for
anything, there lies silence that is
better. Silence is as deep as eterni.
ty; speech as shallow as time.
The wedge will rend rocks, but its
edge must be sharp and single; if it
be double, the wedge is bruised in
pieces and will rend nothing.
The roses of pleasure seldom last
long enough to adorn the brow Of
him who plucks them, for they are
the only roses which do not retain
their sweetness after they have lost
their beauty.
Do not be too lavish in your praise
of various members Of your own fam.
lily when speaking to strangers; the
person to whom you are speaking
may know some faults you do not.

Sulphur for Animals.

Sulphur has long been esteemed
for animals, being recommended as
an excellent Alternative and antisep.
tic medicine, but it requires caution
in its use. Itseffects are diaphoretic,
that is, TO increase the insensible
perspiration; this renders the skin
exceedingly sensitive to wet and cold,
and exposure 10 these suddenly
checks perspiration, which may
cause serious mischief. When sui
phur is given it is therefore requisite
to keep the animal dry and warm, or
at least avoid sudden change Of
temperature. This medicine should
DO given in moderate doses, such as
one drachm for q calf or sheep, and
one ounce for a COW or q horse daily,
or every two days for several days
The insensible perspiration carries
of much unhealthful matter through
the skin. Hyposulphite of soda is a
much more desirable medicine than
sulphur, and is used in one ounce
doses, repeating for several days in
cases in which there are purulent
secretions and blood poisoning.

violating.s 1salcwt.

1t will be sad news to many a pru.
dent house wife to learn that every
time she picks hole in an egg with
pin she is violating the patent of
an American inventor, but such is
the case. Years ago an inventive
genius devoted himself to discovering
n method to prevent eggs from crack
ing during the prcess of boiling. He
solved the problem by picking a pin
hole in one end of the egg, through
which the air in the she'll was allow
ed to escape, and this pin-hole he t}u-
ly patented according to law. Pre-
cisely how he managed to collect his
royalty is a mystery, but the fact re-
mains that he has legal claim for
royaltysson every pin-hole made in an
egg before boiling.

FOR THE FARMER.
liquid Manures.

at simply does wonders" said a
gardener to US, many years ago.
That expression well describes the
effects Of liquid manure judiciously
used. Because a little is beneficial,
il will not do to conclude that there
cannot be too much Of good thing
and make the soil sodden with it,
The soil requires to have the air per.
meate it, and if made wet, even with
rich liquid manure, the plants will
suffer. It is well to have tight
cask Of some kind, sunk in the
ground, into which the soapy wash
water and the chamber Stops may go
these Of themselves will be excellent
fertilizers The fertilizing quality
may be increased by the addition Of
COW manure, manure from the hen
house, sheep droppings, etc. The
chief care to be taken is not to have
the liquid too strong. 1t is better to
err in the direction Of weakness
Twice week is often enough to ap
ply it and then only to plants that
are growing. In the absence of Other
manures, Peruvian gnano, at the
rate of an ounce to a gallon of water
is the best substitute. Nothing else
will SO increase the productivenes'
of small garden as the proper use
of liquid fertilizers.-American Agri
calturist.

Hospitality.

Over beyond Strassburg came
upon a farmer sitting on a log in
front of house which ] first took TO
be a stable, because mule stood with
his head inside. He had an acre or
two Of clearing on the hillside, but
he was u hard-up man, no mistake,
l dismounted to talk with him about
the battlefield of Cross Keys, and af-
ter a bit he said: stranger, I'd in
wife ye to dinner, but | presume you
don't relish dodgers and bacon. p
Then he talked little more about
Fremonts troops and he said: "Stran.
ger, I'd like to feed that boss, but my
old mule has had to browse mighty
fine to keep on his legs this fall."-
Then we talked about Stonewall
Jackson and his march up that road,
and the farmer branched off with;
stranger, I'd like TO offer ye drink
of suthin' warmin', but fact is | haint
seen a pinto whiskey since the war"
Then inquired how far 1t was to
Port Republic, and whether the
bridge had been rebuilt, and he an.
swered me and added; Stranger, l
do feel as if l orter ask We in to see
the family, but the old woman's down
with the chills, Sails over the ridge,
and the fire went out an hour ago."
| mounted my horse and handed him
a cigar. That broke him up. He
turned it over and over, looked up
and down the road, and from me to
the house, and finally seized my leg
and exclaimed: stranger, I'm poor
and way down, and sometimes wick
ed, but Pm right thar when man
calls my handl l can't feed We, nor
warm ye, nor give we whiskey nor
tobacker, but if ye don't git off'n that
boss and come over to the spring and
have some water with me I'll never
forgive We on airth." And we drank
to his luck.

How Some People Talk.

Most people talk nonsense whea
they are idle. The human brain is
naturally vivacious and elastic, hence
that versatility which is always tc
be found in men of sense. Sensible
people talk about the weather when
there is no sense in talking about it,
just as naturally as they do anything
that suggest itself to them when
they are unengaged. For instance
we heard gentleman say recently,
ave need snow badly" OF course
he did not know why we needed
snow, but such was the circumstance
under which this profound declara.
ton was delivered that the words
seemed to come naturally, and with
an honestness which proved that
their conception and pronunciation
was irresistible to the man. This is
world OF ups and downs, turbulences
and mutabilities; and one of the old.
est yet most reasonable peculiarities
is the soul-harrowing, innocent in
clination Of all mankind to talk
about the weather. And-do you
think it will rain?

The Pasture for Sheen.

1t has been observed that sheep
prefer short pasture, Directing to long
grass generally, and certainly vast.
ing a great deal of grass when put
into such fields. They always seem
to do better on the aftermath of seeds,
but they should not be allowed lo
feed it close, or it will be long recov.
ering' A frequent change from field
to field is better than giving them
long range the latter often encourage
them to rove, and make them dis.
contcnted.

Pig Feeding.

The nice point in growing pigs is
to keep them growing. This is east
ly accomplished for the FIRST three or
four weeks by feeding the, SOW boun-
tifully upon nourishing slops; but the
time comes very early in the life Of
the pig when it is impossible for the
SOW to supply nutrimcnt for a large
litter as rapidly as they are capable
of assimilating the food, and if they
have not in the meantime been
taught to eat for themselves, there
comes a period Of retarded growth
Prepare for this by providing a
trough apart from the SOW, to which
the pigs can have access and COM
mence by giving them little new
milk, which they soon learn to drink
greedily; this is gradually changed
TO skim milk, and then to sour milk,
buttermilk or whey, with crumbs of
bread, scraps from the kitchen table,
etc. AS the pigs grow older, feed
corn meal cooked into n mush and
mixed with whey, skinned, milk,
and other house Stops, and finally
soaked corn; by which time they are
old enough to take kindly to grass
and clover, and this with the soaked
corn will keep them growing rapidly.

tons, that AN interesting fight will be
participated over the speakership.
Three candidates are thus early la the
field, Messrs. Randall, Of Pensylvania;
Eaton, Of Connecticut; Carlisle and
blackburn, Of Kentucky. Ever since
theOhio election gave promise of DEM
ocratic control Of the next house, Mr..
Randall's friends have been working
up o boom for him, and some of them
have kindly suggested n platform for
his canvass. This platform favors re-
duction In public expenditure. the
Establishment of all unnecessary offices,
adjustment of revenue taxation,
simpliflcatiOn and reform Of the tariff.
aud opposss subsidies Some Of Mr..
Randalls supporters are wise enough
to see that the speakership contest will
proably be fought upon the tariff re-
form plank In their platform, they
hope to conciliate the large element
among the Democrats which advocate
that policy. The tariff reform Demo
Gratis who have been elected TO the next
