Many Of tho colds which people arc
said to catch, commence at the feet


To keep these extremities warm,
therefore, is TO effect an insur-
anee against the almost interminable
list of disorders which spring but.of a
" slight cold" First, never be tight
ly shod. Boots or shoes, when they
fit closely, press against t. Q foot, and
prevent the free circulation of the
blood When onthe contrary they do
not en- race the foot too tightly, the
blood gels fair play. and the spaces
left between the leather and the stock
ing are 6l!ed with q comfortable sup.
ply of warm air The second rule is,
never sit in damp shoes. IL is often
imagined that unless they are posi-
livcly wet it is not necessary TO change
them while the feet are at rest. This
il fallacy; for when tho least damp
ness il absorbed into the sole, il ia at
trarted further to the foot itself by
its own heat, and thus Precipitation is
dangerously checked. Any person
NAV prove this by trying the expert
ment of ncglecting the rule, and hiS
feet will become cold and damp after
a few moments although, on taking
of the shoe and examining it, it will
appear quite dry. ..,

The succ-ss Of the farmer certainly de.
peDds very much upon management OF ma.
nure. The remark has often been made
that much OF the most valuable part Of
animal excrements is often lost, through
negligence or misma nagement. The prae-
tice OF exposing manure TO the action Of the
sup, wind and rain, has been severely CEN
sured, and the digging Of barn cellars, the
building OF sheds. coverings for barn.y ards,
De-, have been highly recommended.
NO good farmer would suffer any of his
crops to lie in the field till one half of their
value Is lost by exposure to weather; but
how is the case with barn-yard and the
manure heapsf Here is O treasure indeed
but it is wasting it's value continually 4; are
not its virtues every hour escaping into the
air2


But many farmers will confess that their
management 10 not such as it should be.
but, through lauk Of capital, cannot make
the changes which they desire, in a single
year or two. But we contend that a farm.
er of small means can do much to preserve
the virtues of his manure. He can house n
part OF it, at least, in some way and he
can put cover of muck or loan upon his
manu- Q heaps, and also in his barn yard,
and thereby prevent most of its virtues es
Gaping. IL he hauls manure into the field,
II it Is not Immediately plowed in, it should
be put in rather large heaps, and be well
covered with earth.


A difference in opinion has existed among
distinguished writers and farmers, in refer.
ence to the degree Of fermentation which
manure ought to undergo before applying
it to the soil. Some are advocates for long
or fermented manure, and Others think that
it should not be applied to soil till it is
partially or completely decoinposed. The
former contend that much fluid and gaseous
matter of the manure is Lost, unless It be
applied Immediately to the soil in its green
state and plowed in. The Inter contend
that long or green manure cannot be reg.
ularly spread, and that the animal matter
does not mix intimately with the straw, but
is in masses by itself They also complain
that the straw will sometimes dry rot, and
becomes dead, useless matter. 1t is prob.
able, however. that by proper care, manure
in it's green state, may be pretty evenly
spread, and the straw will not often dry
rot.


1t Is said that Stable manure, when living
in heaps is liable to be spoiled by being
overheated. To prevent this, it would be
well to either apply it to the soil and pIow
It under as soon as may be, or mix it with
charcoal and other substances.

read the advertisements and learned what goods
are in the market, what firms have dissolved, what
new ones are on foot. what new enterprises are be-
ing started, and whatever of other intelligence
comes under this special department The idea
that the advertising columns of paper are devoid
of interest to all save buyers and sellers is grossly
mistaken notion. 1t is history, and as such it in
terests every one.


The philosophy of advertising is founded in ex-
cellent reason A card that will cost merely NOM
inal sum tells thousands of people that MI. Mer-
chant has certain article of produce or goods.


Among these thousands of readers who are thus
notified, there are always few who happen to be
in want of the article, and if sale is not made it
is no fault in the system which puts it before the
public. If only one merchant is a city advertiser,
he would doubtless do about all the foreign trade;
and in the same ratio will the merchant who adver
tises most literally be known abroad. The mere
fact of having his name and business in the paper
gives him circulating signboard, which meets the
eye Of numbers of people who could not otherwise
be reached The rra"ti"A ia profitable and respect
able, and in nine cases out Of ten produces four
fold profit on all money invested it


The secret of the success of our wealthiest and
most prosperous business men is uncovered By the
fact that they use the newspapers freely, yet judi
ciously They know when and In what manner to
advertise, and consequently every line they put p-
to the papers is as "bread cast upon the waters"
it will return unto them laden with benefits.

which had rested upon the family 50 long, was now
removed and that the descendants Of the line SO

homes the beautiful and young, undismayed by the
fate that had rested upon them so long.

Opity it was so!
While wand'r ring oer the meadows sweet,
Where the meek-eyed daisies grow.
And the tell-tale blush came DER her face,
And the yearning heart beat high,
AS the stranger passed, with courtly bow,
The fair young maiden by.
She fastened home with fearful eye


pity it was SOL
To the little cottage by the brook,


Where the pearly waters flow;
And the light within her heart went out,
And the song of life grew still;
And the spring time warmth of the sunny SOU
Was changed to the winters chill O..
She loved the youth of the hazel eve
o pity it was SOL
That kissed his hand as he passed her by
Where the lowly daisies grow;
And, all the live-long summer day,


All the long, long winter night,
There bloomed no fiow'r within her heart,
No star for departed light.
The weeks went by like drifting clouds
Opity it was SOL
And the maiden's cheek grew pale ana wan
Meath the spirits secret woe
And, the silvery laugh, that oft OF yore
Rang clear in the cottage home,
Was hushed like the broken chord OF lutte
In midst of dulcet tone.
By grassy mound in the old church-yard-
Opity it is SOL
There's snowy slab with the simple name
Of the one that sleeps below;
And the trav'ler stops by the cottage gate
To hear of her tale of woe;
And, brushing his sleeve across his eyes,

The correspondent of the Charles ton
Mercury writes from New York that the
month succeeding Easter Sunday, in
which we have now entered, will be one
of the most extravagant, especially in
wedding expenditures. He says:


New York is positively running wild
on weddings. The fashion papers an
nounce the approaching nuprisis of about
dozen of the faircst bellies in the city,
and it is fair to suppose that an equal
number of swains will be made too hap
py to dwell any longer on earth Fash
ionable weddings are now conducted on
scale of royal magnifcence An ex-
penditure of ten thousand dollars on a
bridal outfit is an ordinary occurrence
From six to ten bridesmaids are often
seen following the fair one to the altar,
and they are sometimes arrayed as mag
nificentiy as the bride herself One
young lady who was married few days
ago, wore a lace veil that cost two thou
sand dollars in gold, and another, whose
nuptials took place short time before,
wore point lace veil and a founee of
the same material. which cost seven
thousand dollars. When matrimony is
commenced in this style, it is not difficult
to imagine the extravaganza likely to
follow.
