A Minister Who Smokes.

The Rev. c. D. Bum is a remarka-
bly, eloquent and witty member OF one
of the New England Conferences OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church. He has
a peculiar drawl, which adds much to
the mirth-provoking character of his
sayings. He is, withal, exceedingly
DaId and much addicted to smoking
When he preached in - the young
men OF his acquaintance used to chatf
him a great deal, for the sake of draw
ing him out. One day he was asked
how it happened that some men grew
very bald at so early an age, while
others were well covered. "Well, said
he, ''some peoples heads run to hair
and some to brains"
At the Northport camp meeting one
day brother was walking about the
woods, meditating upon a sermon,
when he saw smoke curling up from
the roots of large tree that had been
leveled by a storm. Mounting the
trunk he crept cautiously along and
peeped over the end. There sat Bro.
B., pulling away at T. d. pipe. The
good brother was very much shocked,
and hailed him with:
Hello, Bro. Bum! Are you offer
ing incense to the deVil?'
Bro. Bum slowly lifted his eyes to
the intruder's face, settled back into
his old position and drawled out:

POitiCs Too Much For Him.

A lady on Fifth Avenue, New York quick
iy summoned a doctor.
"Oh, doctor, my husband is nearly dead,
He attended caucus last night. He made
four speeches and promised to be with his
fellow citizens again to-day. But oh, doc
tor, he looks nearly dead"
Has he been in politics long?"
No, only last year. He worked hardf for
NJames McCaulay's election"
He will get well madam. He has a
stomach Tor any disease, if he worked for
him {"
Political life, of short or long duration, is
very exhausting, as is evidentfr the great
mortality which prevails among pubhemen.
Elk. I. s. Senator B. K Bruce, who has
been long in public life, says:
The other day, when stepping into
car at crossing, l found DR.. - within,
who eyed me up and down in surprised
way, remarking:
Why, Senator, how we'll you look!
Well, feel pretty well, I answered"
The doctor uttered an incredulous reply,
when the Senator frankly told him, in an
swer to an inquiry, that it was Warmer
safe cure which accomplished for him what
the profession had failed to do. Senator
Bruce says his friends are very much as
tonished at this revelation OF power.-Ihe

Anti-Vaccination in Canada.

The cleaving wedge between the two
races here, writes a Montreal CORE
spondent, which is driving themfurther
apart day by day receives renewed
impulse from the characterization sen
timent being exclusively French Cana
dian. DIR. COderre, professor at VIC
toria, minor medical school, has for
years been preaching against vaccina-
ton. Among his followers are several
French-Canadian physicians practic-
ing in the city-Drs. Brunei, Durocher,
j. A. Roy, and ID. Archambault. At
the doors OF these men chiefly is to be
laid the appalling mortality by small
pOx, which carried off in October
l,6l4 French Canadians and but thir-
ty-fve Protestants. Speaking with a
leading manufacturer to-day, he ex-
pressed profound disgust at the ig-
norance and bigotry which resist vac
cination and keep Montreal under the
ban of an affrighted continent. Said
he: '"Things cannot be any worse.
am for letting the wretches alone, to
stew IN their own grease" The visit
ing vaccinators who go from door to
door will finish their rounds this week,
when compulsion is 20 be brought into
effect. To overcome opposition an
ample force Of sturdy officers will be
employed, as it is found that resist
ance to vaccination does not long
continue when any firm determination
to insist upon it is made by an EN-
ployer or other authority. Meanwhile
several masses are said daily in the
leading churches for the cessation Of
the epidemic. Commonly these inter
cessiOns are at the bidding of firms
employees. Those ola steamboat COM
pany were among the last to suppli-
cate heaven for a deliverance which is
ready at hand If intelligence would but
reach after it.
While wind, rain, and sleet chilled the
outer air the citizens committeem made
it hot in the city hall over a discussion
as to whether they should send to Phil
adelphia for an American expert to
come, criticise and direct the work of
subduing the smallpox. The ground
was very strongly taken by several
Americans on the committee that
something of this kind should bedone,
while on the other hand the majority
held that it would be an insult to the
Montreal university and medical men
to do any such thing, and they wran
gled over it, because the American
element was very persistent. An
other suggestion by a member Of the
committee was to kill all unlicensed
dogs, which are accused Of rolling
about smallpox floors, going out to
play with other dogs, to be patted
and petted in other houses, and carry
contagion upon their hairy coats. The
number OF unlicensed dogs Ia the in
fected district Is large, and if a general
slaughter is agreed to dogs will be cur
tailed by scores.

Gen. MCCIellan'S Romance,

LfEoin the boston Herald.
A very interesting story was told
about a year ago about McClellan's
first meeting with his wife Hemarried
her in 1860 and the relations OF the
two during the past quarter of
century have been the happiest. Mrs.
Mcclellan accompanied her husband
everywhere and was 81 helpmeet in the
true sense of the word. She was very
proud OF her husband, and was very
sensitive of any ridicule of him. He
met her in a church in Baltimore in
1860, one cold Sunday morning He
was then travelling through the United
States on a health tour and had
reached Baltimore Saturday night.
The next morning he left the hotel
and went to the nearest church The
usher took him up TO the front and
seated him IN pew which was already
occupied by a very handsome young
lady. The sermon was prOsy, and Mr..
Mcclellan devoted himself to casting
sly gIances to his seat-mate. He con
cluded she was fair As he caught a
fuller view of her, he decided she was
beautiful, and when at last he saw her
features and her eyes looked into his,
he felt that he had met his fate. AS
they passed out Of the pew, the young
lady blushed under McClellan's admir-
ing gaze. He followed her home and
found she lived in one o. the hand
soonest houses OF the city. On inquiry
he found that this house was owned
by Gen. h. B. Marcy, the father of one
OF his schooImates at West Point.
Mcclellan at once called upon young
Marcy, and through him obtained an
Introduction to Marcy's sister Ellen.
He began to pay her attentions, and
found upon acquaintance that she i'm
proved. His love was reciprocated.
They were engaged, and in May, 1860,
they were married.

A Bows Future,

Many a bright boy reared on farm,
Is beginning to think about going to
the city, and. generally speaking his
mother encourages him. She can't
bear to have her son toiling in the
field, when she is sure he would grace a
profession. So she manages to crowd
him through a college, and he COM
mences his legal studies in a lawyer s
Office. Years pass before he can be adj
mitted to the bar; and how long must
he contend against fearful rivalry and
difficulties before he finds himself
favored with a tolerable practice But
allow he at length becomes eminent
and wealthy, what pains must bemade
in health and constitution before he
shall have found himself at the sum-
NIT OF the toilsome ascent, to say
nothing OF the little time afforded him
through his long and weary Journey
for the duties and enjoyments OF the
domestic hearth. Stillmore to be dep
recated-the medical life How re-
pugnant the lectures and dissecting-
room, preparatory to becoming a
hcentlate; then the incessant rounds
OF visits to the chambers of the sick
and dying; the calls, touching even up
on repasts and ordinary repose, render
the life of the physician less comfort
able than the lawyers.
There must be lawyers and doctors,
| admit, but are there not too many
already? and is it not ill-judged in
parents to encourage their sons to en-
ter upon professions, to whom nature,
perhaps, has denied the aptitude and
talent that give promise OF success IN
a line where competition is so formid-
able. But, unfortunately, the calling
OF the lawyer and the doctor is held
to be genteel, and that OF the farmer
vulgar; and this, it is to be feared, de-

One or the advantages of the tomato
as a crop is that the fruit does not
need to be fully ripe to be salable at
good prices. There is an active de-
mand IN someplaces this year for green
tomatoes to pickle, and at better
prices than the ripe fruit brought three
or four weeks ago.
In the Island of Jersey COWS are
MIXED III tall buckets, with a strainer
OF fine cloth over the top, which pre-
vents impurities from going through.
1t Is by attention to such methods of
cleanliness, as well as by the excellence
of their cows, that Jersey dairymen
have achieved their reputation asgood
butter makers.
While some hay can be fed to ad-
vantage to most stock in winter it is
not good economy to make it the
staple feed. Liberal supplies of cut
straw or cut cOrnstalks with grain or
meal will take the place Of hay, which
may be given once day as a change
Of feed and to furnish the variety
which even more than heavy feeding
conduCes to thrift
Large quantities of leaves drift in
secluded places and are often burned
to get them out OF the way. A better
use for them is to apply them as a
mulch to trees in orchards where they
will protect the ground from deep
freezing and thus benefit the trees
more than their manurial value.
Leaves are richer in potash than in
is the wood OF the trees on which they
grow, and apple-tree leaves especially
should be left where they fall
Fattening hogs should have enough
tinely-cut straw to make q cOmfor-
table bed but not so much as to en-
tirely bury themselves as they are in
clined to do when they get a chance.
10 cold weather the sudden change in
temperature, when the hogs come from
their warm nests to feed, often gives
them serious colds. With shelter from
storms and dry floor, a little straw
for bedding is better than a large
quantity.
When colts are foaled in the spring
they should be weaned long enough be
fore cold weather so as to become used
to eating otherfood. A few oats given
every day through the winter will add
fifty per cent. to the value OF the colt
in any year up to five or six. 1t is a
great mistake to starve young colts
with view to making them hardy.
They should not be pampered, but in
our cold climate few farmers are in
danger Of this error during the colts
first winter.
While a good ice supply is a necessi-
ty to an extensive dairyman, it is well
worth its cost to any farmer. The
material for the ice-house may be OF
the cheapest character, and the build
ing of it is so simple that can be done
by any farmer at all handy with tools.
The work OF filling comes at a time
when men and teams would be idle.
The money saved by keeping meat,
butter and vegetables from spelling
will, in most farmers families, pay as
good interest on cost as any invest
ment that can be made.

Why Women Break Down.

There is little doubt that women are
breaking down morerapidly than men,
because they allow themselves to take
less real rest. When a man drops his
business he drops it. When a woman
let's 60 of any work she may have in
mind she ties it to her apron string as
1t were. She has been taught through
long ages OF training that it is high
crime and a misdemeanor to let any
thing escape her mind, so she is con
stantly, when she is at rest, pinching
herself or prodding herself 30 see if she
hasn't forgotten something. In this
way she carries the burdens of her
work into her resting hours, and sits
down among the roses of relaxation
with her foot on the treadle Of the
grindstone OF prosy drudgery. Ii men
kept their noses to the grindstone with
womanly persistence they would be
nervous and irritable beyond COM
pare. Ii women would get their own
consent to rest, they would have bet
ter compilations, better stomachs and
a happier Chicago Inter Ocean.

Pruning Grape Vines.

Grape vines may be pruned' as soon
as all the leaves have fallen, and any
time thereafter until the sap com
mences to flow in spring. Vines set
last springand which have been trained
to single cane, should be cut back to
within about three buds from the
ground. Vines that have been set two
years and have made good growth,
so thai the caneis half an inch or more
in diameter, should be cut back to the
lower arm Of the trellis or one and a
half to two feet from the ground.
Vines OF bearing age that have been
trained upon the trelIis, should have
their branches cut back to two buds.
But what shall we do with an old vine
that has never been trained, and
whose branches have become a tan
gled mass? This IS a more difficult
question to answer. If the vine has
formed many strong canes all may be
removed but about four, and these cut
back to four feet in length. The
branches should then be thinned out
to one foot apart, and those remain
ing cut back to two buds. Ii, however,
the vine has formed but two or three
canes, and these reach to considerable
extent without branching, it will per-
haps be best to remove the whole top,
leaving only the largest cane, cutting
this off at the lower arm of the trellis.
Ii cuttings are desired for increasing
the number Of vines next year, they
may bemadea at pruning time. Choose
thrifty canes Of the present seasons
growth Cut these into sections two
buds in length, cutting just below the
lower bud and an inch or two above
the upper one. Use a sharp knife, or,
better still, the pruning-shears. Pack
the cuttings in damp moss or moist
sand, and place them in the cellar

THE RURAL HOME.
Life's Sunny Side.

BY c. p. CRANCH.
What-you are dun to-day?
In a sad null today
Up, and be social and stirring, l pray.
Why so lugubrlous?
Take q salubrious
Walk, and Wen talk for I've something to say
Verify verify,
Things will go merrily
When you are merry and busy and brave.
But If not cheeFfully
Tempered, but tearfully,
Life is tyrant, and you are its slave
If you go willfully,
However skilfully,
Nursing your moods and your delicate whims
Life Will be dumb to you,
All things will come to you
Touched by shadow that saddens and dims
Life has two sides to it,
Take the best guides to it,
Look at the best and the brightest, my friend,
Be a philosopher.
Don't look so cross over
Matters you never can alter or mend.
Look not so dismally
Down the abyssmally
Dark-hanging over the precpice brink
Worst of all bias is
HypOchondriOSiS-
Sunshine is healthier than shadow, think.
If you would drive away
Gloom, and would hive away
Honey peace in your innermOst cell,
Work-like the humble bee,
Soft let your grumble be;
Burn your own smoke and the world will 90 well
