HOLD YOUR HEAD UP LIKE
A MAN.

If the stormy winds should rustic,
While you tread the worlds highway,
Still against them bravely tussle,
Hope and labor day by day;
Falter not, no matter whether
There is sunshine, storm or calm,
And in every kind of weather
Hold your head up like a man.
If a brother should deceive you.
And should act a traitors part
Never let his treason grieve you,
jog along with lightSome heart:
Fortune seldom follows fawning,
Boldness is the wiser plan.
Hoping for better dawning,
Hold your head up like a man.
Earth, though e'er so rich and mellow,
Yields not for the worthless drOne.
But the bold and honest fellow,
He can shift and stand alone;
Spurn the knave of every nation,
Always do the best you can,
And no matter what your station,
Hold your head up like a man.

Some of our exchanges are express
ing surprise because one of the Georgia
Colonels has refused to be candidate
for Government. This is not strange.
1t would indeed be angular if there
could not be found one white voter in
the State who would decline the nomi-
nation for the sake of being odd, if for
nothing else. Besides the papers do
not say that the chance was offered to
him.

OUR DAIRY INTERESTS.
Interesting and Valuable Information OF
 the Subject of NIiIk.

At a special meeting of the Sussex County farmers held at Deckertown, au interesting statistical paper on the dairy interest was read. From this it is learned that it requires l5, ,000, 900 COWS to supply the demand for milk and it's products in this country, and that there are invested in the dairy business of the United States over S2,000, ,000, 900, an amount nearly double the capital in. vested in banking and other commercial industries. Itrequires the cultivation of over 60,000,000 acres of land to fur nish food for the above number of COWS. More than S200, GOO, 900 is invested in dairy machinery and implements alone. The men employed in dairying occupa. tions number 00,000, and 1000, GOO horses are necessary. The COWS and horses consume annually 30, 900, 900 tons of hay, 90, ,000, 900 bushels of corn-meal and the same amount of oatmeal. PTS, 900, 900 bushels of oats, 2.OO0. GOO bushels of bran, and 30, 000, 900 bushels of corn, to say nothing of the brewery grains and questionable feed of various kinds that is used all over the country. It costs $400, 900, 900 to feed these cow and horses. The hired help engaged or the dairy farms of the Union costs $168, 900, 1000, or an average price of S20 a month per capita.
 The annual yield of the average COW is placed at 450 gallons, making the total milk product 6, ,750, ,0O0, 900 gallons a year. The farmers receipts for this milk, averaging it at 12 cents a gallon amount to $810, 1000, 900. Cheese and butter use up 50 per cent of the milk yield. To make pound of cheese 10 pounds of milk are required, and 27 pounds of milk make l of butter: The comparative nutritive qualities of milk t as 3g pounds to pound of prime beef A fat steer furnishes 50 per cent of bone less beef, but it would require about 24, 900, 900 steers, weighing 1,500 pounds each, to produce the same amount oi nutrition as the 15,000, 900 COWS supply with their annual yield of milk.

The Ruling Passion.

During the recent visit of the Illinois Press Association to Washington, among the other places of interest visited by them was the Treasury Department, where, after securing the necessary per init from the Secretary, they were taken by their guide down into the vaults where is stored the millions of surplus revenue that have been so steadily &C., cumulating for the past years. The group of editors were particularly struck with the packages of bonds, which had the value of the contents printed in plain letters on the outside of each. Noticing the interest taken in this direc- ton, the guide picked up a package marked $10, 900, ,000, and handed it to an editor, saying: "Put that under your arm and you can say that you have had ten millions in your hands all at once. |" The scribe hugged the bundle up to his chest convulsively and a twelve-inch smile split his countenance into two good-natured hemispheres.
 "What would you do with it If it were all yours ?" asked one of his friends.
 The journalist turned pale, the cold sweat gathered on his brow, ahd his eyes stuck out like the knobs on hat rack at the bare thought of possessing so much wealth.
 "Pd--er-Pd--go down to Aurora, |" he at last managed to gasp out, "and- er-er-pd start daily newspaper"

How to Make Orleans Pudding.

Miss Parloa at her school of instruc- ton gave advice for the preparation of Orleans pudding. She took the juice of one lemon and one orange, and, mixing it with half cup of pale sherry, poured the whole over pint and half of stale sponge-cake crumbs. To pint of boil ing milk was added half cup of sugar and half box of gelatine, which had been soaked in a gill of water two hours When the gelatine was dissolved it was put in basin of ice water to cool. Then a quart of cream, whipped to Stiff froth, was added. Upon a melon mould with some candied fruit was poured a little of the cream and gelatine, the remainder being to the cake. The mixture was then poured in the mould over the cream and fruit and covered, and packed in salt and ice for two hours.
 Lady-hnger sponge cakes were next prepared. The yolks of four eggs were beaten with half cup of sugar to a froth, and the white of the eggs beaten stiff and dry were added. Three-quar- ters of a cup of flour was stirred into this mixture quickly. With pastry bag the cakes were shaped on a sheet of greased letter paper, and they were baked in a slow oven for fifteen minutes.

Not a Laughing Matter.

A woman stood at the front gate watch ing her neighbours dog coming down the street with kettle tied to its tail. It amused her vastly.
 Presently the owner of the dog scur- ried by in hot pursuit, whereupon the woman at the gate laughed agleeful, un- neighborly laugh.
 Then little boy rounded the corner with bright, innocent look upon his face, as who should say: '1-am-on- an-errand-for-my--dear-ma,-so- ,-so- n't-detain-me."
 He stopped and said to the woman at the gate:
 "What are you laughin' at ?"
 She replied with hilarity: 'I'm laugh in at old Bullrag's dog with kettle tied to his tail"
 "It's awful funny, ain't it ?" the little boy said, as he hurried on. "The kettle is yourn."
