THE BEST

Live newspapers are the best of educa-
tors of country youth. This is well called
mailbag education" and is one Of the
greatest blessings of the century, though
sometimes mixed with evil. But there
is evil in most things. Such seems to have
been a law of creation. Evil is that We
may overcome it, and thus grow strong.
Napoleon loved obstacles that he might
combat them. Given a wise assortment of
periodicals; an independent political jour
nal; a clean, breezy, literary paper or maya
zine; a w~ide-awake, progressive, farm
paper:-one or more OF each: and our boys
of the farm viii have material to keep their
brains busy and free from rust. The seeds
of evil may breed content with poor farm
ing, poverty and narrowness. But such
evil is good. Cherish il; wafer it with en-
enlargement; cultivate it with wider know
ledge; train it with better practice. a
broader system Of culture, contact with
progressive men. Then the fruit may be
self-gained education, valuable experience,
and in later years a progressive, wise, sue
successful, influential agriculturist. The
world needs such men by thousands, orr

COLDS

The approach or first effect OF a cold is
felt differently. Sneezing, t~ightness in the
n~ostrils, rawness in the nasal passages,
sore throat, ~chilliness. headache, ringing
in the ears, or drowsiness is but a skinmish
of the battle that is to follow. These
signs usually appear in the evening and
should be attended to at once. as a cold can
only be broken up at the commencement
The following morning. If nc remedy has
been used, the disease Will be thoroughly
seated and cause catarrh in the head or a
cough in the throat or lungs. In two or
five days, if care is used the cold will have
ripened. and seem to pass off rapidly by
expectoration Of phlegm. If more cold is
taken. pneumonia or consumption is liable
to follow.
There is no universal specific for colds
even in their earliest stages. That which
viii cure one patient will have no effect on
another, and a cure for a person to-day
may ten years hence be useless. But
most cases of the young or middle
aged can be cured, if taken at once,
by some one of the Simples remedies
employed for this purpose. The follow
ing are a few of the methods used to
cure colds in their beginning, and Others
will doubtless occur to the minds Of the
readers: Catnip tea made moderately
strong, with sugar and milk, ~chestnut-leaf
tea, or tea made from any OF the mints,
especially pennyroyal, hot lemonade, cam
phor sling, or a long draught ofcold water.
Either of these should be taken after the
patient is in bed, to produce perspiration,
and care must be taken the following day.
A tablespoonful Of water, made hot with
cayenne pepper, taken in sips to moisteu
the mouth and throat, has been my indi-
vidual remedy for years. Heating the feet
is often sufficient, and a poultice Of boiled
onions is good where there is a tightness Of
throat or lungs. Violent exercise. as
rapidly saving wood or mopping floors,
Will sometimes seem to answer the de-
sired end.
The universal prevalence Of eolds and
the direfnl results often following should
induce rs t. use every precaution to pre-.
vent them and prompt means to remov,
them when once contracted.

III FEE.

One morning, fifty years ago,
When apple trees were white with snow
OF fragrant blossoms, and the air
Was spellbound with the perfume rare,
Upon Il farm horse, large and lean.
And lazy with its double load,
A sun-browned youth and maid were seen,
Jogging along the winding road.
Blue were the arches of the skies,
But bluer were the maiden's eyes:
The dewdrops ON the grass were bright,
But brighter was the loving light
That sparkled meath the long-fringed lid
Where those bright eyes of blue were hid.
A-down the shoulders brown and bare
Rolled the soft waves of golden hair,
Where, almost strangled with the spray,
The sun Il willing sufferer lay.
1t was the fairest sight, | ween,
That the young man had ever seen,
And, with his features all a-glow,
The happy fellow told her so.
And she, without the least surprise,
looked on him with those heavenly eyes,
Saw, underneath that shade of tan,
The handsome features of Il man,
And, with IA joy but rarely KNOWN,
She drew that dear face to her own,
And, by her bridal bonnet hid
| cannot tell you what she did.
SO on they rode, until, morg
The newborn leaves with dewdrops hung,
The parsonage, arrayed in white.
Peers out-a more than welcome sight.
Then, with Il cloud upon his face
Nv hat shall we do he turned to say,
'''Should he refuse to take his pay
From what is in the pillow case:'
And, glancing down, his eyes surveyed
The pillow case before him laid,
Who's contents, reaching to its hem,
Nigh purchase endless joys for them.
The maiden answered, ''Let us wait;
To borrow trouble where's the need?"
Then at the parsons squeaking gate
Halted the more than willing steed.
Down from the horse the bridegroom sprung
The latchIess gate behind him swung;
The knocker of that startled door,
struck as ii never was before,
Brought The whole household, pale with fright
And there, with bushes on his check,
So bashful he could hardly speak,
The parson met their wondering sight.
The groom goes in, his errand tells,
And as the parSon mods, he leans
Far DER the window sill, and yells-
Come in! lie says he'll take the beans"
oh, how she jumped! With one glad bound
She and the bean-bag reached the ground
Then clasping with each dimpled arm
The precious product of the farm,
She bears it through the open door,
And down upon the parlor floor
Dumps the best beans vines ever bore.
All, happy were their songs that day,
When, man and wife, they rode away!
But happier this chorus, still,
Which echoed through the Woodland scenes
"God bless the priest of Whitinsville!
God bless the man who took the beans!N

something to alnuse or instruct every member

Cranks. my son? The world is full of
them. What would we do were it not
for the cranks? How slowly the tired old
world would move did not the crank keep
it rushing along. Columbus was a crank
on the subject Of American discovery and
circumnayigation, and at last he met the
fate Of most cranks, was thrown intoprison
and died in poverty and disgrace. Greatly
venerated now , Oh, yes. Telemaehus, W.
usually esteem a crank most profoundly
after we starve him to death. Harvey was
a crank on the subject Of the circulation of
the blood; Calico was am astronomical
crank; al the old abolitionists were cranks.
The Pilgrim Fathers were cranks; John
Brnyan was a crank; any Young maj who
doesn't think as you do, my son, is a crank.
And ~by-and-by the crank you despise will
have his name in every mans mouth; and a
half completed monument TO his memory
crumbling down IN a dozen cities, while
nobody outside of yoar native village will
know that you ever lived. Deal gently
with the crank. my boy. OF course. some
cranks are erankier than others; but do you
be very slow TO sheer at a man because he
knows only one thing and You can't under
stand him. A crank, Telemachus, is a
thing that turns something; it makes the
wheels go round;it insures progress. True,
it turns the same wheel all the time; and it
can't do anything else; but that's what
keeps the ship going ahead. The thing
that goes in for variety, versatility, that
changes its position a hundred times a day,
is no crank-that is the weather-vane, my
son. Whate You nevertheless thank
Heaven you are not a crank? Don't do
that, my boy. Maybe YOU couldn't be a
crank, if you would. Heaven is not very
particular when it wants a weather-vane,
almost any man will do for that. But
when it wants a crank, my boy, it looks
about carefully for the best man in the
community. Before you thank Heaven
that You are not a crank. examine yourself
carefully and see what is the great de-
f~iciency that debars you from such an
election n, J. Bandefe.

HOUSEHOLD FASHIONS.
zIuddIing Rooms in a Stuffy Manner
Going Out of Fashion.

1t is risky to abuse things as ugly until
a hasty artist or two, people have been
calling marble mantels hideous and detesta-
BILE for half a dozen years, until the lower
orders of art writers have begun to full
inmate against them just as discriminating
artists assert that mantels are beautiful,
as sensible persons Of taste always believ-
ed. AS the Nail and Express says, it wont
do to pronounce things pretty or ugly at
the within of a changeable designer. The
fashion of hanging ~draperies about houses
will soon wear out, and people will be glad
to fall back in using polished wood or
stone or tile mantels, with just enough
draperies to protect windows and arches
from drafts. The litter of drapery twisted
on picture frames; mantel curtains, which
are both out of place and dangerous; towels
tied in the middle for chair tides, and fes-
toons in odd corners, will be put out of
sight as they ought to be. Draperies need
a nice hand to arrange them, and too often
look like poor millinery. They catch dust
in a tiresome way, and the doctors begin
to protest that budding rooms up with so
much drapery is stuffy and unhealthy.
They object to plush, which simply fills
with dust, and takes a continual slavery
to keep in good condition, and declare that
tiles, enamel finish for walls, marble, brick
and stone lintels and glass for interiors
must Danish fabrics, wall paper and carpets
for the great part of the year.
