Washington as q sportsman.

George Washington was always ready for
a fox-hunt. AS in his younger days he had
ridden with Lord Fairfax and the Fairfaxes
of Belvor, SO later, when he was master of
Mount Vernon, he and his friends we're al
ways out in the season, and when night
came, the party would meet at one house
or the other, for merry snpper, to be Off
again behind the hounds early the next day.
In letter describing Mount Vernon,
Washington speaks of it as ''on one of the
finest rivers in the world; river we'll
stocked with various kinds of fish, at all
seasons of the year, The borders of the
estate were washed by ten miles of tide
water, and the whole shore was one entire
fishery" In the season of canvass-back
ducks, also, Washington was out with his
fowling- piece early and late The story is
told that he had been much annoyed by a
lawless fellow who came without leave to
shoot on the estate. He came over from
the Maryland shore, and hid his boat in one
of the creeks. One day Washington heard
the report of "a gun, and guessing it to be
that of this man. who had more than once
been warned to leave, he sprang on his
horse and rode in the direction of the sound
He pushed his way through the bushes just
as the man, who had seen him approach,
was pushing his boat off The poacher
raised his gun, and aimed it at Washington, w
who spurred his horse at once into the water
and seized the boat before the man knew
what he was about. Then Washington,
who had powerful arm, seized the fellow
and gave him sound thrashing, and was
never troubled by him again.-From "Geo.
WasAington," by Horace E. Scudder, in ST.

LIVE STOCK IN APRIL.-Bathe the horses
shoulders with cold water or brine as quick
as the collars come off, before the sweat be-
gins to dry, and rub off the collars and sad
die pieces with moist cloth. This will
prevent sore shoulders. All changes of food
should be gradual, but in proportion to the
work. Heavily taxed muscles make de-
mands on the stomach; hence, increase the
feed after work begins-never in anticipa-
ton A horse fed up before he is called to
work gets soft and fat. Be careful to pro-
tect horses from drafts when warm; rub
down, blanket, or let them stand in close
stables. Cows at calving need little care,
the less the better if in loose box or the
open field. "Fussing" over them is always
provocative of injury. Give no grain, but
a loosening diet of bran and roots for some
days, and gradually increase feed as fever
ish symptoms pass away. Keep calves
growing thriftily; skim milk with little
linseed meal scalded and added to it as a
substitute for the cream, is just as good for
them as whole milk fed from the pail. Sheep
must be kept in dry yards OR there will be
danger to their feet. Ewes with lambs
should have grain daily, at least until they
come to pasture. Swine.-Those who buy
young pigs for feeding should buy none but
half bloods by Berkshire, Yorkshire,
Poland or other pure sire. They grow
faster and fatten with less feed. Poultry
Reduce the stock of fowls as soon as this

on to old turkeys and old geese, they get
used to the ways of the farm and are worth
much more as breeders than young ones.-
Ducks also are good till three years old.

Advice to Mothers.

There is proverb, ga word last longer
than marble slab," the truth of which
once comprehended would certainly cause
us to consider well, and be careful that our
words should be kind. A word thought
lessly spoken in ridicule has wounded many
a heart already overburdened with sorrow;
words spoken in a naughty, overbearing
spirit to those in our service often rankle in
their hearts and humiliate them more than
we are aware, and may even change the
whole tenor of their lives, for kind words are
to the heart what dew is to the flower, and
Richter says "Hearts are flowers; they re-
main open to the light-falling dew, but
shut up in the violent down-pour of ain"
The influence we may WELD for the good of
others is greatly capacitated by the use of
kind words. Nowhere do they become so
precious as in the home circle. No matter
what may be the decorations of the home,
if the wife meets the husband with petulant
words because she thinks he has stayed out
longer than is proper, or if the children are
allowed to use cross and overbearing words
to one another and to the servants, there is
no amount of adorning that can make that
home beautiful; for it has been truthfully
said, Decorating at home that is never
irradiated with hearty good nature is like
frescoing cellar WALL" l have dear
friend who is a young woman, but an ex-
cellent manager of children, (the best ever
saw, and they are so few these days.) l
was with her one day and her two little
ones, five and three years old, were playing
in the next room, when there came an ill
tempered scream from the youngest. She
quietly arose and went to them, and / knew
she punished the child, but when she came
back she said that she had once before re-
proved the little one for screaming at her
brother, and had told her if she did it again
she must punish her,
She then said: 81 teach my children as
they are able to understand that they must
not be cross to each other, and l always
found if allowed when small to scream at
each other the next thing would be cross
words; and it is just as easy to train them to
say pleasant words as any Others" Young
mothers, make a note of this, Il did), and
act it; 1T rests with yourselves whether or
nit your children will use kind words. There
are no regrets attached to the use of kind
words; but what sorrow SO keen as the
memory of unkind words used to those who
have gone forever from our homes, where
we can never show them love or tenderness
any more! The sweetest memory of my
life, and the one that has been the greatest
consolation in the troubles of later years, is
the recollection that | never spoke an un-
kind word to my mother, and that l had
her assurance of it in her last moments

A VOYAGE.

When sleep is coy and slumbers fee,
1 hasten down to the dream-land sea,
Where Fancy's boat
Doth lightly float
On the silent waters, awaiting me.
1 care not where the far shores be
OF the waters that sparkle so bright and free
1 leap from tie strand,
And. oar in hand,
I ride on the tiee of the mystic see.
1 slip away from the cares of day,
And silently drift away, away,
Till dream-c,o1ds dense
Hide the shores of sense,
And the land and the sky and the sea grow
gray.
Now glides my boat into darkness deep;
Now cease my oars their rhy thmic sweep:.
For full in view,
A fairy crew
Is spreading the shadowy sails of sleep.
