! Gentlemen, almost envy you the positions

"This, for instance" said Mr.. W. D. Franklin,
who was then travelling for an Eastern house,

almost to certainty-of getting the dyspepsia

The January number of the North

from it will not he forgotten four years

great clearness the Southern and Demo-
cratic view of the political situation as it
now stands. This also is extremely in
teresting to every citizen, whether he
agrees with Mr.. Watterson or not. An
other question of universal concern.
| which some think will soon make itself
national issue, is that of labor and it's

with what equipment it will take the
field. But the article that the literary
| reader will first turn to is Frederic Har-
rison's brilliant and incisive discussion of
"Froude's Life of Carlisle;n while the
| religious, or philosophical reader will
find in Socrates, Buddha and Christ .,
specific statements and quotations of
those parallel doctrines that are SO often
vaguely alluded to. For the scientific
reader, Mr.. Proctor discusses learnedly
"Herscbefs Star Surveys" and Prof.
LIE Conte presents and explains some GU
rious facts in relation to 1.-The Evidence

1.-The Increase of Wealth" is a successful
endeavor to render large masses of fio-

CURING HAMs.--I do not like ham
cured in pickle is there not some
other and better way? Obj.
There is another and very common
way which many prefer it is the dry
sailing process, and is thought by
some to make much sweeter and bet
ter favored bacon. The process is
as follows: Kill nice, we'll fatted
young hogs, weighing 220 to 240 lbs,
net. Let them hang out all night to
cool. Cut neatly and trim the hams
of all loose flesh and fat. Round the
flesh end and saw the bone neatly.
Lay the piece in the sailing box flesh
up. Sprinkle over the lean part a
small pinch of powdered saltpetre.
Then rub the flesh with a tablespoon
full of brown sugar or the same of
molasses. 1t is now ready for the
salt, which should be rubbed we'll in
to the hook and packed over the feshy
part fully half inch thick. After
laying in the salt four or five weeks
they are ready to hang. If the wealth
er should be bitter cold the hams
should remain in the salt longer.
When hung, smoke until a light brown
with green sugar or hickory wood.
Before the warm days of spring come
each ham should be put in paper
sack and securely tied. Leave the
hanging string out but tie the paper
close about it to prevent the entrance
of the skipper beetle. When the
hams are laid in the salt they should
not be piled one on the other, as the
bottom ones will be mashed into bad
shapes. A double layer will do but
it is not well to go beyond this. Care
should be taken to procure pure salt.
Complaints have often been made
which were traceable to bad salt.

How TO MAKE A Snow Plow.-
There is no implement which will pay
better interest on its cost than a
snow pillow. Every farmer needs one,
vet not one in fifty has one. Any
man who can use a saw and drive
nails can make one. / made one q
few DAYS since in less than half an
hour that has saved its cost several
times over already, in time that
would otherwise have been spent in
shoveling paths. 1t is shaped like a
letter A. The sides are pine boards
twelve inches wide and six feet long.
The inside edges at the front are bey-
eled to unite in a point, while the rear
ends are four feet apart. A strong
cleat is nailed horizontally to the in
side of each side, three feet from the
front end to support the cross bar, or
brace. This is of one and half inch
plank, eighteen inches wide, cut to
the right angle to fit. A hole for a
clevis pin, four inches from the front
and three from the top, completes the
pillow. This is lighter than is gener-
ally made, planks being more often
used. But if well nailed, the above
will be found amply strong, with the
additional advantage of being light
and easy to handle. l use a whitfie-
tree. a short chaiG and clevis. l
regulate the draft by frightening or
shortening the chain. | use one horse
and stand on the cross-bar and ride,
except when turning around. In very
heavy snow it may be necessary to go
more than once in a place. Hitch a
horse to it the first thing in the morn
ing after fall of snow and in fifteen
minutes you can make clean, wide
paths to the barn, corn house, clothes
line, road, sidewalk, ETC., and will
find it much pleasanter than wading
around in the snow or spending hours
of time in shoveling paths.

Mr.. BEECHER AND PLYMOUTH.-
Henry Ward Beecher, after he had
concluded his sermon in Plymouth
church on Sunday, touched upon the
disaffection which existed among his
congregation, caused by his action in
the late campaign. He alluded to his
forty years passionate and said he
never mixed politics with his theology
in the pulpit. He said he didn't know
how far the trouble had spread, but
only learned it from the newspapers.
If there were any pew. holders offended
he did not know them. He had hoped
the Republican party, which had done
so much for the nation would get wis
dom, but he was bitterly disappointed.
He would have shed tears of joy if
that party had put in its platform
welcome to the South, and made one
of its great candidates southern
man. From convictions as deep as
any he ever had, he entered the can
vass, and when he went into anything
he never went in by halves. He cared
nothing for life, reputation or infu-
ence if the country might not live to-
gether in harmony. There were mis-
takes and errors. He was sorry for
them and apologized. He did not
want any dissatisfied person to sneak
away. Let him come to Beecher and
tell him he is dissatisfied and Beecher
would bless him. In relation to the
pew rents he did not care if they were
He had lived on a sala-
ry of $500 when he first became pas
tor, and if necessary he could live on
it now. If there was a majority in
the church or strong minority, who
did not want him, he would go. If
the great majority wished him to stay
he would die with them and nothing
would draw him away. If he stayed
the congregation would have to re-
ceive him, not on a pitchfork, but on
the palms of their hands.
