A REAL CASE.

In our comments on the appeal
for Aid" from the citizens of Column
bia, two weeks ago. We took occasion
to express our opposition to the plan
then proposed. of having the general
furnish supplies to those
who were in needy circumstances
from the crops of last year being cut
short by the drouth. There are
many reasons we could give for this
opposition, but consider them SO
patent that il is not worth while to
state them to an intelligent public.
Al that time we stated there was one
contingency on which it would be
proper to appeal for aid to the gov
erpment, and that was an additional
calamity to cut short the next crop.
Such calamity has occurred in the
regions at present overAowed by
hishwater, and the general govern
ment has been prompt to afford them
assistance. Along the Mississippi
river several thousand families have
had their homes inundated, and
many on the Ouachita and Red are
in like condition. These people de.
serve all the assistance they will be
given by the government.

A Diving Rows Question.

DR.. Irenocus Prime, in the Observer.
have Just returned from the funeral
of the son, the Oldest son, the first born,
ofmy friends, Rev. George Nixon and
wife, of fremont, N. Y. My sympa-
thies were very tenderly moved by the
letter the father sent me, with request
to come to them in the hour of their
great affection. He said: "Though but Is
months old, he had a nature mind, and
was an earnest Christian. He had no
fears Of dying, and we talked constantly
of his possible departure. His last night
on earth was spent in intense agony. But
in his rational moments his faith failed
not. He rose up at the time we thought
him sleeping and said: Now I want to
say the Lords prayer He repeated it
with q strong voice until the close, when
his strength failed. About half an hour
before death he looked up to his mother
and with smile said: Mother, is this
the other world?' Perhaps he was halt
waking, half sleeping when he looked
into his mothers face, and wondered
whether he was in this or the other
world! The pain of dying had ceased.
The eyes of a loving mother met his as
he lay in perfect peace. His
heart was full of love, and, for the mo-
ment it was so unlike the anguish he had
been suffering, that he WAS ut loss
to know where he was, and he made
the natural and beautiful inquiry: lis
this the other world?"

Childrcn's Food.

Children probably suffer moro than
adults from the effects Of an unhealthy
diet. They are urged to cat meat, to
make them strong, whereas strength
lies rather III its avoidance. Milk is ma
lures food for children, but a modern
mother let's her children eat whatever
she docs herself, from pork to mince pic !:
then she wonders why her children are
puny and scrotulous, and mourns the de-
gencracy Of the race, which DR.. Felix
says is caused principally by unnatural
food. Truly the Spartan Gerontes would
have more than it's hands full to look
after the youth Of the present, and put
out of the way all those judged physic-
ally unfit to live. The children of the
Scotcl! pcasantry and middle class
are brought up almost entirely
upon oatmeal and milk, and make the
healthiest and sturdiest men and women.
Many a little one sleeps under the
daisies who might have lived had the
mother only obeycd the simple laws Of
health in the matter of food alone. I
have in mind a sick}y, puny, frail babe,
now Il sturdy, stout Gmbed boy of seven,
who owes existence to his mothers
calm insistcncc in the matter OF diet.
He has never tasted tea or coffee, is al
lowed plenty offresh milk. is never per-
mitted to ovcreat, and gets cakes, can
dies and the like but rarely. Feed the
children oatmeal, graham gems, fruit,
fresh, stewed, baked or canned, vegeta-
lies, eggs, custards, maccaroni, such sim
pie nourishing food, give: milk instead
oftea and coffee, give them little meat,
and see If there is not an improvement
in physical and mental condition, bright
er eyes, more smiles, less tears.

Wi1cninC the Galloway.

The condition of the rich man has be.
come greatly amclioratcd since eighteen
centuries ago. 1t was once said that 1t
was easier for a camel to go through tho
eye of a needle than for i. rich man to
enter the kingdom of heaven. As no
camel could by any means get through
needle eye, this reduced the rich
mans chance to no chance at all. But
hold. As rich men grow more numer-
GUS, and as churches become more de-
pendant upon them, it was discovered
that the needles eye referred to was the
gate ola cattle corral, through which
camels passed and repasscd at their
pleasure-in short, it was rs easy for a
camel to 60 through the eye of this nec-
die as it was for a scandal to so through
a country village. The Hch mans stock
has been rising ever since the discovery
and only the other day Baltimore cler-
gyn:an officially announced that love of
money, instead Of being the root OF all
evil, as was once supposed, is in reality
the source Of all good.

What Can be SOwn in June.

From the American Agriculturist.
Those who have Il time of "lnakins
garden" in early spring, and doing up
the sowing all at once, do not get the
greatest good from their gardens. There
arc many vegetables Of which the sea-
son can be greatly prolonged by making
successive sowings. A striking example
of: this is sweet corn, which, bv Judi
cious sowings, may be had every day un-
til frost stops it growth. In MANY locali-
ties, the most thoroughly tropical plants
such as lima beans, okra, and the mel
Ions DO better If put III now than if sown
earlier. For succession after the first
sowing, put in beans, beats following
plenty to be used as beet grcens,) GU
cumbers and other pickle plants. Car
rots kohl rabi, and satisfy, are among
those that may still be sown and make 4
crop before frost arrives.

DOn'ts for Husbands and Brothers.

DOntS Tor Husbands and Brothers.
Don't suppose, when you are married
that you have come into possession of a
first class servant, endowed with ever
lasting strength.
Don't let your wife come in from the
kitchen, after preparing breakfast and
doing tho milking, and find you snoring
as if to brighten the flies away.
Don't forget when you and your wife
60 to town and sell the butter, that the
money belongs to her as well as to you.
Don't forget that your wife, though a
woman, has a heart which feels every
slight and appreciates every tenderness,
as she did few years ago in her fathers
parlOr.
Don't forget, when you return in the
evening, and toss your hat on the floor,
overcoat on 4 chair, and your dirty feet
on the fender, and wait until wife or
sister comes in from the kitchen, tired
and suffer her to put them away and wash
the fender.
Don't be too ready to give advice about
her affairs. It is reasonable to suppose
that u woman who has made housework
a life study will possess a judgment ST.
perior to one inexperienced. She will
probably ask your advice, if she thinks
you capable OF answering.
Don't content yourself with reading
about national affairs, but read whatever
gives you and your wife pleasure. Do
not allow yourself to argue, for it often
leads to quarreling.

Overlooking Hogs.

Overlooking Hogs.
There has never been a time when the
question of oyerfeeding live stock of ev-
cry character has received SO much at
tention at the hands of breeders as is
now the case. Hog breeders are at pre- s.
cnt considerably exercised on account
of the fearful losses sustained by the
cholera, and it has slowly dawned upon
the minds of many of the gentlemen
that perhaps the practice of overfatten-
ing has something to do with these con-
tinued losses. Science has yet failed to
prove the truth of this assumption, but
practical feeders and breeders are COM
ing to that conclusion, and i'm many To-
calities are governing themselves &C.
cordingly by disseminating the practice
of crowding their stock. OF all domestic
animals the pig goes it upon his cheek,
and at the ordinary fair or fat stock
show this very fi,llness of cheek is too
apt to govern the awards. Consumers
however, do not endorse these paunchy,
round, overfed and stuffed porkers,
knowing that good pork cannot generally
fed for lard purpose and that alone.
What is required and demanded both at
home and abroad is the long-bodied hog,
which affords Il deep shoulder, lean
ham, and sides upon which meat instead
of fat is the rule. There has been a
growing disposition to stop the practice
OF oyerfeeding hogs, and so general has
the demand become for good lean pork,

tice to feed to the utmost CAPACITY.
