THOSE who worship gold in world
so corrupt as this we live in have at least
one thing to plead in defence of their
idolatry-the power of their idol. 1t is
true that, like other idols, it can neither
move, see, hear, feel nor understand; but,
unlike other idols, it has often cOmmu-
nicated all these powers to those who
had them not, and annihilated them in
those who had. This idol can boast of
two peculiarities; it is wOrshipped in all
climates, without single temple, and
by all classes, without a single hypo-
crite.

OUR brains are seventy-year clocks.
The angel of life winds them up at once
for all, then closes the cases, and gives
the key into the hand of the angel of
resurrection. "Tic-tac, tic-tacr' go the
wheels of thought; our will cannot stop
them; madness only makes them go
faster. Death alone can break into the
case, and selzing the ever-swinging pen
dulum which we call the heart, silence
at last the clicking of the terrible escape
ment we have carried so long beneath
our aching foreheads.

IT is to labor, and to labor only, that
man owes everything possessed of ex-
changeable value. Labor is the tails
man that has raised him from the cOndi-
ton of the savage; that has changed the
desert and the forest into cultivated
fields; that has covered the earth with
cities, and the ocean with ships; that
has given us plenty, comfort and ele-
gance, instead of want, misery and bar
bariSm.

WHAT honesty is in deeds sincerity is
in words-the best policy. 1t is poll
cy, however, to which the artificial hab-
its of society are not very favorable.
The forms of politeness, with all their
utility, have this disadvantage, that, in
teaching to restrain the real sentiments
and ideas which cannot conveniently be
expressed, they are apt to lead to the
expression of others which are not con-
Sistent with truth.

DRESSING POULTRY.
How to Prepare n Fowl for Market In
 Very short Time.


 Very short Time.
 To dress d fowl with the least trouble nang it up by the feet 50 that it vii drop a convenient height, and attach | wire hook to the under beak of the fowl to which hang halfa brick. Sever the jugalar vein with a sharp knife and proceed to pick, holding the wing: with one hand while you pick with the other. Work quickly. Get most oi the feathers of the breast side with three or four hand pulls, and change the wings to the other hand helG across the breast of the fowl, and witt a few pulls get most of the feathers of the back. Grasp one wing at a time and pull out the long feathers at one stroke. Then finish up the picking en' tirely before the fowl is taken down When done, chop of the head, take { sharp knife and cut through the skin sever the intestine. Pull gently, and as the intestine comes out insert the forehnger and bring out the intestine:  rapidly, but do not break them. Get them out of the gizzard, and break of there by the thumb and foreiinger, and your fowl is ready for market, If yor wish to make ready to cook, the hole must be slightly enlarged and the gig. gard pulled out, cut open and the inner lining rcmovel with all gravel, food etc. A slit m lst bs m tde in the breast and the crop removed, which should be empty when the fowl ia killed. Some people remove the lungs. IL Is h0i necessary. The heart should be re Iaoved and washed, as some clotted blood is usually around it. The opera. ton of preparing fowl for market can be done by an expert sometimes in three minutes, im yicm Agricuitur, fR
