Shelter--An English Burlesque.
By the wide lake's margin I marked ber lie?
The wide, weird lake, where the alders sigh?
A young, fair thing, with a shy, soft eye ;
And I deemed that her thoughts had flown
To her home, and her brethren, and sisters
dear,
As she lay there watching the dark, deep mere,
All motionless, all alone.
Then I heard a noise, as of men and boys,
And a boisterous troop drew nigh.
Wither now will retreat those fairy feet?
Where hide till the storm pass by ?
One glance, the wild glance of a hnnted thing,
She cast behind her ; she gave one spring,
And there followed a splash and a broadening
ring,
On the lake where the alders sigh.
She had gone from the ken of ungentle men!
Yet scarce did I moan for that;
For I knew she was safe in her own home then,
And, the danger past, would appear again,
For she was a water-rat.
Farmhouse Notes.
Swine.?Let the breeding sows and
store pigs have the run of the stubbles.
Pigs intended to be fatted this fall should
now be fed liberally, but should be allowed
to run in the pasture.
Sheep. ? Lambs should now be
weaDed. Put the ewes in a poor pasture,
and let the lambs have the run of some
second growth clover or other rich grass.
If the weather is wet and the grass
succulent, give some dry food, such as
clover hay, or better still, bran. Remove
the rams from the flock.
The Sulphur Cure for Squirrels.?
Some time since Dixie W. Thompson
took us out in his buggy to an outside
lot on which the squirrels had squatted
and taken up their claim and were in
high glee over their possession. He had
with him a large "man bellows," to
which he had attached about a yard of
gutta percha hose. On reaching a squirrel
burrow, where a colony had evidently
settled, he set.this machine down, thrust
the end of the hose into one of the numerous
holes, threw some shavings.cobs,
-and sulpur into the tea-kettle, struck a
match, set the shavings on fire, caught
hold of the bellows,aud in a moment the
sight and smell suggested another fire
and brimstone region, for the earth all
around began to send up puffs of yellow
and infernal looking smoke wherever a
squirrel bad ever ruL his underground
ro:id. The r>retailtinn bad boon takpn
to cover all the holes with earth before
the smoke was forced into the burrow.
In one instance the smoke rushed out of
a hole over thirty feet in distance from
the main entrance. It takes about five
minutes to smother a whole colony of
these troublesome pests, and they never
show an signs of life again. The holes
remained closed and undisturbed.?Santa

Corn meal for Poultry.?With a
great many persons who produce a large
or ouly a small quantity of poultry, the
feed of chickens, and all young poultry
in fact, consists solely of fine cornmeal;
and this is repeated feeding after feeding
and continued from the very first meal
till growth carries them t > a point where
whole corn can be consumed, when the
latter is substituted. Many trom false
ideas of economy, delude themselves in
to the belief that corn, and corn alone,
constitutes the cheapest poultry food for
both chickens and adults because weight
considered,its market nrice is the lowest.
Such persons do not take the result into
consideration. If they did they would
arrive at a different conclusion, as the
fowls analyze the grain fully as well,
practically, as would the cbemist. In
nitrogenous matter, an element that enters
so largely into the composition of
boDe and muscle into the growing chick
and the egg of the laying hen, corn is
' deficient?its value as food consisting
rather in its fattening qualities. OwiDg
to the Ml corn contains, it is heating in
its nature, and consequently,though de
sirable in cold weather, is to be avoided
in warm. Nevertheless, no one variety
of grain, however well embodying the
requisites of chicken food, can be soiely
employed to the greatest profit. Wheat,
oats, barley, rye and Indian corn, if
ground together, will make excellent
feed for any kind of poultry. One bushel
ground and cooked, will make more
eergs and more flesh than two bushels of
grain fed whole.
A Valuable Vegetable.?Why do
farmers reluse to cultivate that very desirable
vegetable?the Jerusalem artichoke?
It is true, that ODce in the
ground it is next to impossible to eradicate
them. But then a vegetable that
grows so lnxuriautly year after vear
without the trouble and expense of reseeding
the ground ought to commend
itself to more general favor. It will
produce more than twice as many bushels
per acre as the potato, and neither
rots in the ground nor invites that terrible
pest, the potato bug. It can be
dug or plowed out at any time when the
ground is not frozen, from September
to June. We advise every farmer to
devote an acre to their production. And
in doing so, we beg of you not to let
your fears of injuring the crop and wasting
your substance prevent you from
plowiug deeply and manuring heavily.
Plant in rows two feet apart each way,
an eye or a bit of the root in a place,
and if your ground is half r ecent, never
you fear that the crop will not come in
dne season and pay you abundantly. It
is the ODly vegetable but the Cauada
thistle that needs but one seed time to
produce a succession of harvests, or
which flourishes all the better for having
a breaking plow run through its
bed every spring. We have used them
only after they have been saturated with
vinegar, while others have gone so' far
as to serve them upon the table as they
would potatoes. We have no doubt they
are quite as nutritious and healthy as
the potato. Cattle, horses, sheep and
hogs thrive even better upon them than
n r?An
u^rvu hil |/vianv.
Manners.?Before you bow to r lady
in the street, permit her to decide whether
you shall do so or not, by at least a
l^ok of recognition. "Excuse inv gloves"
is an unnecessary apology, for the glove
should not be withdrawn to shake hands.
When your companion bows to a lady,
you should do so also. When a gentleman
bows to a lady in your company,
always bow to him in return. A letter
must be answered unless you wish to intimate
to the writer that he or his object
is beneath your notice. A visit must be
returned in like manner even though no
intimacy is intended. A smiling countenance
is pleasant, but excess of laughter
should be avoided, espeoially when it is
possible for any one to suppose himself
derided by it. Whispering is always offensive,
and often for the reason that persons
present suspect that they are the
subject of it.
Tbe stages of Darwinism are said to be
Positive, tail; comparative, tailor; superative,
tailless.
An Old Mystery.?A case of enterprise
on the part of a London newspaper reporter
has recently ccme to light, which reflects
more credit upon the industry and
ingenuity of its originator than on bis hon
esty. Our readers may possibly remember
reading accounts ot a discovery made in
London in 1857 of a carpet-bag containing
human remains, which discovery caused
great excitement aDd furnished material
for numerous articles under the title of
"The Waterloo Bridge Mystery." All the
detectives of London were at work on the
case, and all were thoroughly baffled.
Lately the matter has been brought into
norice again by a British soldier stationed
in In lia avowing himself to be the person
who threw the sack with its contents into
j the river; but as his story was found to
i disagree with the statements published in
the newspapers at the time of the discovery,
it was conjectured that the soldier
had lied about the affair in the hope of
being sent home to England. Tue revival
of the subject, however, has had the effect
of bringing out a letter from an old subeditor,
who writes to the Birmingham
Gazette that the whole affair was the result
o; a scheme concocted by an impecunious
penny-a-liner in order to supply material
for an exciting newspaper article. The
human remains contained in the sack weie
procured by the reporter from a dissecting
room, and the sack was let down from
Waterloo bridge by a confederate, who
was disguised as a woman. The trick succeeded,
the originator of the scheme was
first on the ground with the news, and all
I An/Inn troc enf QfTAfr K\* flip rilTTI'irC TV*)l ipli

gained currency in regard to the "horrible
mystery," which has never been explained
until now.
About Bridging Joists.?A great many
bui.ders omit bridging joists, simply because
they have never been able to understand
and appreciate the advantage of
such a practice. It is not uncommon to
see pie?es of boards nailed between the
joists of every floor, abont midway from
the joints where the joists are supported,
as a substitute for bridging. The object
of bridging joists is to give stiffness and
solidity to the floor after the boards are
[aid. Pieces of board as wide as the
joists, extending from the other near the
middle, iu lieu of bridging, will give but
little stiffness to the floor. When the
bridging is done by nailing pieces of thin
plank, or pieces of small scantling between
every two joists in the form of the letter
X, any superincnbent pressure applied to
any one joist will be sustained, more or
less, by two joists on each side of it.
Hence, when a person walks across the
floor, the joists of which have been
bridged, his weight will be received by
five joists instead of one, as wonld be the
case were the joists not bridged. When
the joists are properly bridged, a floor
will sometime spring and vibrate to such
an extent, when one walks across it, as to
give 4 tremulous motion to every article
of furniture in the dwelling. When the,
joists are not bridged, the wall or plaster |
beneath will frequently be broken loose
from the lath in places, as that large
patches will fall to the floor.
jtakmimu.?rarmers na\e seen naiu
times tor a few years past, and a higher
range of prices will not hurt us. The
lesson that we, as farmers, have to learn
is not to be discouraged, but to keep on
the even tenor of our ways, studying how
to improve our farms, to cheapen the cost
of production, to raise such crops and
keep such stock as are adapted to our
soils and situations, to sell when we can
get reasonable prices and be content with
profits, and not rush into every new thing
that for the time being is bringing an extravagant
price. There is seldom a year,
when a good, steady going, enterprising,
intelligent farmer who works his land
thoroughly and improves bis stock has
not something to sell that affords a good
profit. If pork is low. wool is high ; if
beef is cheap, wheat is dear. If corn can
not be sold for what it costs to produce it
he knows that in well ventilated corn
cribs it will keep for any length of time.

^onie years ago i was onereu corn m me
streets of Bloomington, 111., for ''nine
cents cash per bushel, and ten cents in
trade." In less than two years I was in
Illinois again, and asked the price of corn
in the same neighborhood, and was answered
"one dollar and- ten cents per
bushel." Of course such fluctuations are
demoralizing. But we must make the
best of our situation. ? Agriculturist.
Had The Buffalo.?Buffalo Bill will
weep when he reads in a Western paper
of Daniel Otto, ot Osborne City, Kansas,
who, while chasing the buffalo recently,
wounded the animal with his pistol,when
the infuriated brute turnpd upon him.
Flight was impossible, so Mr. Otto seize 1
the long hair on the shoulder of the butfalo
and mounted him. While seated on
the animal's back, he reloaded his pistol
and put the load right in the back part of
the front shoulder. This brought the
' buffalo to his knees and sent Otto whirl1
ing about ten feet over his head. Gathering
himself up, he looked around, and

A Cak Thick.?Francis the Chief of a
j Carlist band, rece illy executed a brilliant
; manoeuvre. He was being hotly pursued
by the troops when Crancis stopped the
train which was on its way to Reus, made
all the passengers get out, and installed
his own men very comfortably in their
i
| place. The conductors could make no resistance,
and the six hundred carlists
| guietly arrived at Reus, to the utter astonishment
of the inhabitants, who were
expecting a very different sort of passengers.
Five or six roughs insulted Capt. John
Stephens at Carsonville, ten miles from
St. Louis, and he knocked one of them
down. The ruffians then attacked him
and beat and kicked him to death.
Sailor* and the Shipping Laws. ^
The Seamen's Exchange, says a New T
York paper, affords a pleasing contrast to t
the dingy little offices i:rom which sailors t
have been shipped at this port from the c
beginning of the history of the city, f
Everything is new and clean about its (
spacious halls. On the first floor is the t
reading-room and the savings bank. The j
second story is almost entirely occupied ]
by a fine, airy lecture-room. On the 1
third,* which is all in one room, all the f
work of shipping seamen upon American j
vessels is to be done in the future. t
At one o'clock a few afternoons since, t
, about 300 sailors were present, and busi- j t
ness was transacted with great celerity 1
by Captain Duncan's employees. Con- <
versations held with several sailors showed *
that there was a variety of opinions among f
them about the working of the law,though ]
most of them favored it. ?
One iniddle-aged man said : " I am an
American and a married man. I don't
spend my whole time at sea. I am a rig- ]
! ger by trade, but can get no work at that (
now, so I want to go for a short voyage. i
I think that somehow the boarding-house j
keepers or runners get ip here and shove (
their men?who owe them money?in ]
ahead of us. 1 have Deen nere tnree t
days. In that time four vessels have ]
taken on crews, but I got no chance. (
There was one for Cow Bay, two to ]
Demerara, and one to Martinique. When 1
the crew for one of the Demerara vessels y
was shipped, I applied at the desk, but t
some men who I knew were not sailors t
I pushed three sailors up and got them j
taken in preference to me." i
" Do you think those pushing the sailors ,
on were boarding-house keepers or run- f
ners?" y
" I don't know; but they were not j
sailors." I
Application being made to Captain (
Duncan by the writer for an explanation (
of this mystery, he said that the idea of j
others being pushed forward was doubt- \
less a hallucination. He asked : t
" Did the man say the Captain was t
j choosing men for himself?" y
".Mo; an order was sent 10 your snip- J
ping-master and the men he took were t
young Germans." {
"Ah; that probably explains it. Cap- \
tains running short voyages in small ves- f
' sels, having so few sailors, are very par- t
ticular about them. Active young Ger
: mans are in great demand; they are thor;
ough workmen and more docile than
: oative Arnericaus. The order was prob:
ably tor Germans; the shipper recognized '
! a squad of them near by and took them 1
in preference to the American, who was *
thus led to imagine that he was slighted." 1
"Is it not possible that some of your [
| own runners are beginning to take bribes 1
j already ?"
"Scarcely; I have given them distinct- ?
ly to understand that any one found r
making anything but his salary out of the *
business would be discharged. Several 1
men refused to take the work on those
terms." 6
"What is the work of your runners?" 8
" One thing they have to do is to hunt
up sailors when there is a deficiency of
any sort. Another branch of their work f
is to see that sailors shipped at this office 15
on/1 or?Kt?r tliav I ^
i L UH UUttiu caiv auu ovwt. * uvu v.?vj
take the captain's receipt for them." s
Another sturdy-looking sailor said he (
had no objections to offer to the institu- *
tion, except that he feared it might be '
I the means of bringing down wages. Said (
; he in broken English :
" Some boarding-house keepers first- '
rate men. They never robbed me. 1 I
\ always drew my own money and paid my *
| own way." 1
An official questioned about the foundation
for this man's fears, said the new 1
institution was likely to raise wages by *
putting into the hands of the sailors the
money that had been previously filched
from them. There is a Landlords' Asso- '
ciation, which meets at Botanic Hall. (
j This Association has really been of some y
1 use to sailors, because, being always on '
i the lookout for money due them, they '
' had aided seamen in maintaining high '
i wages?had, indeed, fixed prices. But s
the bad men among them had largely *
: counteracted this usefulness. These men, I
I caring only that sailors should get large 1
1 advances, would willingly see them shipped for
$10 a month, if the advance was high *
I enough. '
" But if the Landlord's Association has >
helped sailors to get high pay, how can <
.i a:? i.?l? *1. t
Hie OlliCe lieip IIICI11 VU III^IICI t
"In the first place, the ease and rapid|
ity with which men are disposed of will
1 nuturaUy keep the supply down, and
: small supply always stiffens prices. Then
| the thirty two scattered shipping-offices
1 of the city, which were bound to keep
going winter and summer, would often
force men to go under rate, to cut out
i competitors. If the landlords could keep
watch of all these offices, and keep them
from heating down, they will have no
difficulty in watching the rates of the ono
I office."
An elderly German sailor was next
, tjuestioned. He liked the new office very
well: he had seen the plan carried out in
Liverpool. A boarding-house keeper had
him jiirninst coming to the Com
I "D O "
j inissioner, but be told him, "What for;
; don't I want to get a vessel ?"
Captain Mount, of the schooner Snsan
Wright, came to the desk just then for a
crew, and was loud in praise of the office.
This was the best thing of the kind he
; ever saw. Generally a captain knows
nothing of his crew until they are aboard,
but it is worth a man's while to come
and pick his own men out of this big lot.
|I have had trouble enough with those
; old offices. Last year I ordered a crew
from one of them; waited ten days, and
none came. Then I sent to another office
and got a crew right down. The first
shippers hearing of this, sent another,
libelled the vessel when she got back,
and it cost me 8150 to get rid of them.
I'll stick to this office as long as I live."
Much has been written of late about
the mysteries and miseries of sailor life in
this oity. The public have beeD made
i
I
amiliar with the " Neptunes" or runners,
rho get $1 besides wages for every man
hey bring to the landlords; also with
he sailor ^wyers, who trump up charges
?t maltreatment against captains, and get
rom 850 to 8300 hush-money from most
)f the victims?the money going, one;hird
to the runner, one-third to the lawrer,
and one-third to the boarding-house
ceeper, leaving nothing for Jack. It has
>een estimated that 60,000 seamen ship
innually from this port, and that 8600,000
>er annum has been illegally taken from
hem. The new Board proposes to proect
the sailor on ship $nd shore from all
.he sharks that beset him. The officials
vill see that he gets his money ; he will
ihoose his own boarding-house; will pay
15 cents instead of $10 or $15 for a situation.
In short, the intention is that no
oophole shall be left through which his
memies may attack him.
Dress, Drt Goods, Extravagance.?
Merchants, tradesmen, mechanic11, labor>rs
and all classes, says the New York
Herald, work intently from morning till
light, more to pay for the extravagance
if dress than for the mere necessaries of
ife. How many of our men are kept at
he mill of anxious toil, and even to the
ireaking down of their health, to pay for
;he dry goods extravagance of their famiies.
Nine-tenths of the conversation of
ivomen, wherever they may be, and a
jreat deal of their time are devoted to
;his subject. It seems to be the sum of
;heir existence. With all our wealth,
ndustry, and natural resources the nation
s getting deeper and deeper in debt every
rear for dry goods and other luxuries,
ind for dry goods especially. All the
pild we extract from the earth, and more,
s drained from the country to pay the
lalance of trade against us. Our cotton.
;orn, flour and other products do not dis
;harge our foreign indebtedness for importations.
The interest on our secnrities
leld abroad can l.ardly be less than sixty
;o eighty millions of gold. And with all
;he,money and wealth of labor that immigrants
bring, our fifty thousand or more
\merican absentees in Europe, mostly ol
he rich class, <Jraw probably an equal
inaount from this country. Should we
)e surprised, then, that we cannot get to
;pecie payments, or that gold should even
ise? Evidently more economy is needed.

How about the Brown's Boys? says Eli
3erkins. " Well, there are some no-ac:ount

lances with the young lady through all

lA?I don't mind it I do. It would be

A Bitter Controversy.?The temperance
organs are waging bitter war on the
manufacturers of alcoholic bitters, and
theinattacks are resented with equal bitterness
by the latter, who seem determined
to prosecute the quarrel to the
bitter end. Tn the meantime a novelty in
tonic medicines is making immense progress
in the confidence of all classes and
conditions of society throughout the
United States and British America. We
refer tn Dp W a t vpr'r C a i.TFORVIA VlNE
oar Hitters, and we call it a novelty in
tonics because it contains no alcohol?an
article heretofore considered essential in
raediciuial invigorants. The abstemious
portion of the community approve the
omission, and as the new remedy is curing
flyspepsia, biliousness nervous affections,
and, in fact, a majority of the diseases,
external and internal, which prevail, it is
difficult to see how the more self-indulgent
portion of our fellow citizens can
conscientiously object to it. One thing is
certain : if ever there was what the French
call a "grand success," the sudden and
continually increasing popularity of the
Vinegar Hitters, deserves that name.
The advocates of temperance point to the
?nlutary effects produced by this inalcoholic
restorative as a proof that spirituous
stimulants are not needed for medicinal
purposes?a position which has been recently
taken by many eminent medical
practitioners.

The philo-opliical theory thai the human system when
weakened by disease, oppressive heat, excessive labor or
any other cause, should he toned and inviirorated instead
of being subjected Jo the action of depleting drugs, p.
gaining ground every day. The introduction of Host ?tter's
Stomach Bitters twenty years ago gave a powerful
influence to this common sense idea As the extraordinary
efficacy of the Great Vegetable Restorative became
known, multitudes of debilitated inval'd- turned with
loathing from the nauseous and strengtn-destroying
potions with which it was then the fashion to drench
the sick, to this renovating, app tizing. vitalizing preparation
derived from the finest roots, herbs and barks
placed by botanical research at the disposal of medical
cience. Revolutions never go backward. From that
time to the present the importance of assisting and reinforcing
nature in her struggles with disease has been
more and more widely and keenly appreciated by the
sick and the suffering. In tens of thousands of households
Hostetter's Bitters are looted upon as the one
j thing needful in cases of Dyspepsia, General Debility,
Constipation, Nervous Weakness, Chills and Fever,
Bilious Affections and all conditions of the body and
mind t*>at betoken a lack of vital energy. When the
qnickeilver ranges high, and the solid flesh Is resolving
itself into a den nnder the fevid temperature, this agreeable
tonic is the best possible safeguard against ill the
disorders generated by a sultry and unwholsaome atmosphere.
It prevents and relieves lassitude and languor,
and enables the at stem to endnre with impunity
an nnusaal amount of exertion. Of all invigorating and
regulating medicines, it is the purest aad moat whole*
some.
