Somsbody's Hand. There's a soft little hand, with just ono or two . rings? There's a dozen of dimples, and some other things; And the hand is as white, and as pretty, I know, As the prints of the birds on the new-fallen snow. It is soft, it is warm, and its pressure is sweet, When, by chance or design, fingers happen to meet, And the lady who owns it is pretty and free? Except in the promise she's just made to me. 'Tie a hand to be fondled, and petted, and J kissed. When encased in white kid, on society's list; *Tis a hand to be held, and be loved, with the rest, i When the glove's thrown aside and Somebody's 1 at rest. j Tis a hand in adversity, sorrow, or careWhen the brain burns with fever, or chills in the air? ' Tis a hand to smooth wrinkles and banish the ' ?v , pain, I When lights arc burned low, and life's breath ( on the wane. j 'Tis a hand for the death-bed, to take the last i < pledge, j , When the grave yawns im'waiting, with Death ] at its edge? With a future unknown, and the hungriest sod Is waiting to hide al! that's not gone to God. ( Tis a h*nd for the bridal, to give all the thrust J - That a lite has been given, as some time it ] must? With the heart, and the life, and the faith, and j the namo, And all the foad tribute its owner can claim. _____ 1 i Farmhouse Notes. j Cabbvges.?This is one ot the quickest ' < dec-tying vegetables, if kept in a warm i< place; and the usual practice iu this vi- | cinity is to set the heads in a furrow, with the roots up, and then cover very :' i;?htly with eartli. In such a position '< they tcmmn nearly all winter, and i come out in spring ai.noot a? frp^h as 1 j when gathered iu autumn. To Drive away Bed Bugs.?An ex | > change g:\es the following as a sure wa\ f to drive away bed-bugs from old beds : j " Take greeu tomato vines, put them in ] a basin or tray, pound them to pieces as 1 fine as possible, then stain the bedstead ; 1 which they inhabit with the juice, fiil | the crevices with pieces of vines, and lay leaves under the ends of the slats. If this is practiced twice a year not a bug 1 will remain in the bedstead." 1 Onions.?Onions will withstand far ' more cold than is usually supposed. 11 ! * packed dry in tight barrels, and all inter- j s stices tilled with chatf, they may be kept in a barn, or where they will freeze quite ; hard, and not he injured, provided the barrels are closed tight and not opened ^ until the onio s are again thawed. Onions i stored in a warm cellar are very likely to . sprout, in winter, and then decay, emitting anything but an agieeable odor. Hog Killing.?We have given several old horses their quietus with a gun, and 1 so suddenly and completely were all the 1" powers paralyzed that there was not the :" slightest evidence tnat any pain was ex perieneed. They fell slowly forward ' without noise or struggle. So it was with the hog. Will not. the reader, then, see to it that no animal of his shrill b<- j hunte l down, caught and bound, and I then die under the torture of the knife I this year ? A pMol will be found most j convenient, but. if a gun is used, it should ; be with a small charge of powder, and i ^ a plug of har<l wood three-fourths of an ? inch b ng and half as thick through will t ansr. r ? ! well as a ball. In taking this * cou ie lie In ad is not disfigured so as to I e n "liveable, and in every respect it y is preferable to the old inhuman mode. Fail Plowing.?J. B. Jones, Mace- ! don. Wayne County, N. Y , writes thus :; 1 I often not iced articles recommending fall plowing for heavy soil, and occasion- \ ally complaints of it having been tried t with pool success. I always find fall plowing beneficial when done early 1 enough in the season to rot the sod: 1 but never turn a sod late in the fall ; s intending to plow again in the spring ; | in fact, fof most crops r. good cultivation in the spring is better than plowing, if well plowed and subsoiled in tho fall, i I preler to turn a sol early in August , nft?r carina nr rwdiiriniT harrow and , u1,w '""'"h j -- r* , | cultivate often, keeping the surface loose, and n?.t allowing the sod below to dry ; 1 it will then rot perfectly by November, ; I when I cross-plow and subsoil, leaving | the surface rough. In the spring put on . a pood two-horse cultivator, and work | as deep as possible, and plant or sow at once. Even for nursery stock land thus ( prepared it has given the best satisfac- , tion, and for planting berries upon it is ^ very superior. Practical Better Making.?A lady , In the BVs/ rn Rural thus pleasantly describes t rr practice in tLe hutter making : j 4'1 mc'ix quart pan--, putting about three J' quarts in each, and allow it to standi; thirty or thirty.?.j.\ hours before liftins j the cre tm, winch is put in a suitable ves- | sel (usually a pan) in which it remains in ' a place -omewhat warmer than in which ' the nulk is kept; storing occasionally in order to equalize 'he acidity and temperature. Churring day comes twice a week, j and i- lookeo forward to with pleasure! rather than otbvi wise. My chum is very ' piimiMve in its simplicity?a stone jir 1 u?-cd without a cover of anv kind.

Tlieic is no witch- j craft about the churn, nor mvsteiv in butter ni.ixing; the one thing medful is cemnion sense and vigilance in the care and preparation ol tlie cr^am.'' Small Pox.?The India MedicaUrnzet' te reports some cases of small pox cured by the external application of carbolic acid. The persons oncerned were very ! reluctant to submit to the treatment,but after one or two cures with the acid and one or two deaths without it t' e reluctance vanished,and now the carbolic acid I i is reported to be in great demand The acid was appliel to the face and lianas > and next day the erruptions were found to have scabbed and dried up. The cures were effected in a few days.

A target shoot was a grand thing amoi the rouiih pioneers; there were son visitors from fciyond the mountains, ai e tch riflemau was particularly anxious display his one accomplishment befo the strangers. Mike Fink was amoi them?the very prince of marksmei But on this occasian he was unusual quite and reticent. After exhibiting their skill by "cu ting the center," to the satisfaction < the visitors, it came to Fink's turn perform the grand final feat of the oce. sion. This consisted in setting a tin cup c the head of one of the party, and placir him at the distance of fifty paces, shoo iug the cup ofi the head of the persr supporting it. Mike as usual selects Joe Stevens as cup bearer. All kne [lis skill, and no one would have hesiti ted to liave performed the service.

What "A Boy" Knows About Lobsters. When a lobster shakes hands with yoi rou always know when it takes hold, an ire exceedingly pleased when it gets don< They have small features, and lay r daira to good looks. When they loc< note, they resemble a small boy shufflin ?1T in his father's bo?ts. They are bad vard, very. They even go ahead bud vard. They occasionally have a no ike people, and in the mdec lose a men >er, hut have the faculty of growing or mother. The process is patented both i his country and in Europe, which a< :ounts for it not coming into general u? viththe human lobster, so to speak. A lobster never comes on shore unlei le is carried by lorce. They are afflicte with but one disease, and that is boil rhere is more real excitement in liarpooi ng a whale, or in having the rneasle :han there is in catching lobsters. Th isherrnan provides himself with a sma lien-coop, and places in it for enticei several dead fish. lie then rows h Doat to the lobster ground (which water). and sinks his coop to the button ind ancliors it to a small buoy (one froi right to ten years will do), and then got home. When lie feels like it again, sa in the course ol a week or so, he got hack and pulls his poultry house, and tie has good success he will find the garr inside the coop. As an article of food, the real goodnei ;?f the lobster is in the pith. Very fe persons relish the skin, and physiciat ?ay it is hard to digest. We, therefor take the lobster and boil it until it ready to eat. Nothing is better tor col than boiled lobster. It will bring on ;ase when cucumbers have failed. F( i sudden case, we advise them crumble in milk. Eaten at the right time, and i proper quantities, lobster stands secou to no fruit known. Siberian Dogs.?These (logs are sai to resemble the wolf?to have lorn pointed, projecting noses, sharp and uj right ears, and long, bushy tails ; colc tarions?black, brown, reddish browi white and spotted. They vary also i >ize ; but a good sledge dog should u< >e less than two feet seven inches liigl Their howling is that of a wolf. In tli summer they dig holes in the ground fc jooluess, or lie in the water to eseap he mosquitoes, which in these region: ire not less troublesome than one ( Pharaoh's plagues In winter they bu: row in the snow, and lie curled u| with their noses covered bv their bush fails. The preparation of these anima for a journey, is carefully to be attende to. For a fortnight >it least, they shonl he put on a small allowance of hard foe to convert their supertlous fat into fin flesh. They are also to be driven froi fen to twenty mil^s daily; after wbicl Von Wran gel says, they have bee * i 1 - i ? .v.. Known 10 travel a uumuiu units n u.i. without being injured by it "TV drove ours." lie says, "sometimes at tl rate oi one hundred worsts (sixty-si miles) a day. Their usual food is fres fisli, thawed, and cut in pieces ; and te frozen herrings aresiid to be a propi allowance for each dog. A team coi sists commonly of twelve dogs, and it of importance that they should be accu tomed to draw together. The for most sledge has usually an addition dog, which has been trained as a leade On the sagacity and docility of this lem er, depend the quick and steady goii of the team, as well as the safetv of tl The English Harvest. A London letter says : One woe doth ae tiead upon another's heels; and now, in ^ addition to the almost complete ruin of to the potato crop, and a fresh outbreak of re the cattle plague, we hear that in Scot- i land, and the North of England, the wheat, rye, barley, and oat harvest is ^ spoiled. " The weather for the last fortnight has been unprecedented in the history of our harvests." says the leading Scotch journal: " the rainfall has to been again excessive; the atmosphere a" clogged with moisture; thunderstorms have been common, and th* electrical 'n action of the an* of a most disturbing character." In consequence of all this : " The crops are not only bad in every ,n sense of the term, but the expense of ! securing them is everywhere excessive." w In those qnarteis where the wheat has a~ not yet been cut it is deteriorated by a ' second growth, and when it has been put up in sheaves the wet weather has made whole fields quite unsuitable for human food* Barley and oats have.also ,e suffered in the same way, and, in a ** word, the destruction of the cereal crops in Scotland and the North of England is ?Qovlr nnmiiloto A <5 in the notato-rot I ^ it is stated that the former estimates of 'e loss have all been greatly understated, )r with the exception of Ireland. In that island the disease, a few weeks ago, was y~ very prevalent, but for some undiscovered cause its ravages have bepn arrested, e and the crop there will be at least tolerx~ ably good. Throughout England and 33 Scotland in those localities where potaie toes have for many years been exten?> sively grown the shortcoming is now h said to range between thirty and eighty s per cent. Under these discouraging a circumstances there is some comfort in the fact that on the Continent, as a rule, the harvest h is been excellent, and that d the price of breadstuff", up to the prese ent time at least, has advanced only a <1 slight degree. The average price of e English wheat to-day is 57s. 5:1. a quarter, against 56s. Gd. a quarter in the r" corresponding period of last year. l A Beautiful Experiment.?The ^ following beautiful experiment may be ^ easily performed by a lady, to the great astonishment of a circle at her tea party:. Take two or three leaves of red cab( bage, cut them into small bits, put ^ them into a basin, and pour a pint of boiling water on them; let it stand an n . . hour, then pour it off into a decanter. It will be of a fine blue color. Then take four wine glasses: into one put six drops of strong vinecrar; into another ' six drops of solution of soda; into a third a strong solution of alum; and let the fourth remain empty. The glasses may "? t il. he prepared some Time Deiore, ami me few drops of colorless liquid that have been placed in them will not be noticed. Fill up the glasses from the decanter, and the liquid poured into the glass containing the acid will be a beautiful red; ' the glass containing the soda will be a it . tiLe green; that poured into the empty n one will remain unchanged. By adding a little vinegar to the green it will im,e mediately change to the red, and on adding a little solution of soda to the jS red it will assume a fine green, thus ^ showing the action of acids and alkalies s' on vegetable blues. l<3. 1C Literally Blown to Atoms.?A man II named Payne, at R mseviile, Pa., underrs took to transport somenitro glycerine in js a tin can.

Murder Will Out. Some months ago a well known music teacher of Brooklyn was murdered on the streets, and robbed. The affair has been shrouded in mystery until the arrest of Wm. Higgins, a New Xork thief who has operated with a gang in Brooklyn. While confined in jail Higgins made a full confession of a number of crimes, and among the stories told by him was the following : "You see," said Higgins, "I was in the Tombs in New York when that affair happened, and I came out in the morning after the night on which it occurred I'd been taken in for fighting. Well, I was coming over to Brooklyn on the night of the day when I was released, (the night following the assault on Panormo,) and I was coming over with one of our chaps that we call 'Cockney,' he's an Englishman. When we get together? any of us? we generally tell each other what sort of luck we'd had, and says Cockney to me : " By G?, but we had a narrow escape last night with that in Brooklyn." " What's that ?" said I. " Oh," says he, " Cassidy and I, and Scotty and O'Brien, came over here last night on an expedition, (meaning to rob some house,) and we didn't get a thing. So one of the fellows said, "Oh, let us go back." Cassidy said, "Its a shame to go back nrlHirmf o.{nfr" " That's so," said . "Well, let's lay for somebody," said another. " Here you are, thee," said one of the four. " Let's go for this comiug up, and see what he's got about him." "This," said Higgins, "is just about what Cockney told me, Cap," and then he weut on to say how they robbed Panormo. One of them grabb^-1 him by the collar and said in a rough voice, " What have you got about you ? Come, pony up!" at the same time shaking Panormo. As soon as he felt he was grasped he c:ied out, or attempted to cry out for help, and another of the four pulled out a pistol and "jabbed" him in the neck with the muzzle, and said, "D your dirty soul, if you yell out again I'll blow your brains out." Feeling the muzzle of the pistol at his neck, Panormo stopped, and a third man proceeded "to go through him," and was just on the point of taking his sold watch, when the man who pulled the pistol on him (thinking Panormo would not dare to cry out) replaced the pistol in his pocket. Seeing the pistol disposed of, Panormo again cried out for help, and that cry cost him his life, for, with a terrible oath, O'Brien struck him on the temple with a club, and as the unfortunate victim was reeling backward from the effect of the blow, lie again struck liim over the left eye aud Hat along the face to the upper lip, and this blow* was the one which made the terrible wound, which was so fully described at the time. Only two blows were struck, and the man who was robbing him of his watch, grabbed it, and seeing him felled and bleeding, they all ran off, and reached New York in diflfeient directions. This is the story of the murder of Panormo, ?? rr:?;? i.;0 < ?? MS lOJU uy XXlgglUS, ? III) ^Jiycn 1110 juiuc mation from " Cockncv," who himself was one of the gang and took part in the robbery. The weapon Pauormo was struck' with is a club made of lignum vitre, and exceedingly heavy. It is fourteen inches in length, and is what is known to the police force as a "parade club." It is a size between a pocket club and a regular locust. The parties implicated in the murder have been arrested. A Use for Old Muslin.?There is no economy in using old muslin where it can be exposed to much wear, but for some purposes it is ,;as good as new." A lady writes Heirth and Home that for years she has made her partially-worn sheets into simple window curtains. From the center of the sheet she tears the worn portion; this leaves two strips, each of two and one 1 * 1 -.1 1 C + UAII varus in JCllgl M. UI1U ll'Uin unaiuuniia of a yard to a yard in width. She then sews the two selvedge edge? together, and turns the raw cjgcs back to form a seam. All around the curtain she now stishes at about an inch from the edge, narrow strips of some pretty and washable cambric or calico for a trimming, putting an extra row of stitahing through that on t'ae ur>per end, to make a place for a tape to be run in. Austrian* Rvftj.?Ou the Danube especially in the vicinity of and below Vienna, one sees any number of rafts of lumber, and barges transporting grain and other commodities. Some of the rafts are enormous. The men who own them fre.piently carry their families with them, building small houses for their shelter, and taking turns at the oars, ivliieli need to be diligently emph yed day and night 011 account of the swiftness and crookedness of the river.

U a final meeting of the oil producers, beld at Oil City Pa., relative to the shutting down of wells, it was unanimous'y agreed to suspend all pumping of wells and also further drilling for a period of thirty days. Resolutions were adopted prohibiting the use of Roberts' torpedoes until after March next. All the districts were represented at the meeting, and the feeling was unanimous that their object will bo thoroughly accomplished. Threefourths of the wells throughout the country were stopped at midnight and the bafance will follow. Advanced prices in the oil market ar9 expected immediate? iy. r About Oil Wells.?A little Pcnnsy] vania girl tells the Rural New Yorkn aboot oil wells as follows: We live neai the Alleghany river where 'tis very hillv almost mountains, yet tue scenery is verj beautiful. A"d we are in the oil countrj you have no doubt heard of, and I am going to tell you about the oil wells. First they build a very high, square frame, sixtj and seventy feet high, much smaller at the top, and supported by cross pieces ; tbej call it a derrick, and it is used first foi drilling a well, and then for pumping the oil. Then they get their boiler and engine, and drill by steam power. They drill ten and twelve hundred feet before they get oil.- Sometimes, when they first strike oil, it will flow out and up over the derrick and on to the engine and take fire, and burn it all down, so they have to build anew; then they draw their drilling tools, and put in tools for pumping; they sometimes pump over a hundred barrels a day, but 'tis a very good well; they are mostly from twenty to fifty barrel wells. Tbpy build large, round vats that will hold two and three hundred barrels tor the oil, and when one is full they ran it to the rver in pipes, where it is taken to the refineries. Perhaps the girls and boys read the Rural, evenings, by the lights from the oil taken from the wells near here. There are between three and four hundred wells around here, and any direction I look, I can sec the derricks extending into the air. There is a great amount of money made, and a great deal lost, for sometimes they will be to the expense of putting down a well and get 110 oil. Chinese Sheep.?On the main-deck of a China steamer arrived in New York, about amid-ships, was an iron cage containing specimens of Chinese sheep, said to be much finer than any raised in this country. They are peculiar from the size and form of the tail, and excite much curiosity. They are about the size of an ordinary American sheep. The body is white, the face below the eyes being usually black. The tail is about a foot and a half long, and is in the shape of a fan, flat, and about nine inches wide at the extremity. Much curiosity was also excited by some Pekin dogs that were lazily rolling on the deck. They are of a pure black color, and the hair is long and silky. The nose is long and narrow, ending in a peak, and the whole head resembles very much that of a wolf. Another cage contained five Chinese pigs, younp nrwl vprv small Tlifi cnlnr is sneekled " """ v "I 1 white and black, and the hair, which ie bristly, covers the white spots only, the black being perfectiy smooth. These specimens have been sent to a gentleman in New York, who, it is understood, contemplates the experiment of acclimatizing and raising the species. Small sums can be profitably invested in Railroad Bonds. Write to Charles W. IIassler, No. 7 Wall St., N. Y. * Petroleum Oils.?In a recent report on tiiese oils, Professor Chandler gives the following as the cheapest process for making an oil that will not flash, tliati?, emit an in flammable vapor below 1C0?F. 1 Run off the naphtha down to 58? R , instead of 05? to G2?, the usual point 2. Then expose the oil in shallow tankf to the sun, or diffuse daylight, for one oi two days. The increased dispense ol this plan of refining would not reach more than three or four cents per gallon. This addition would be cheerfully paid by the consumer, to iusure himself and his wife and children, from horrible death. But the refiner says, I catinol get the advanced price, because the consumer does not know my oil is safer than the cheaper article. This is true, and our only hope is in strict laws, rigidly j enforced, which will make it a crime tc I sell an unsafe oil. Tite Two Extremes.?Two clashes ol medical thinkers attempt to cure disease by opposite modes of treatment. One class forces the system into preternatural activity; the other depresses and weaken* it. Hoth are wrong. To inflame the blood ofan invalid with medicated alcohol is as dangerous as to apply undue steam pressure to a weak boiler; and to prostrate the physical energy, which is the natural opponent of disease, by depleting treatment, is an act of almost equal temerity, There is a medium between these two extremes, and Dr. Joseph Walker to whom the world owes the famous California Vinegar Hitters, has been fortunate enough to strike it. He has produced some simple vegetable element j without the admixture of any distilled or fermented fluid, a specific comprising the important properties of a wholesome tonic, a gentle evacuant, a purifier of the secretions, a pulmonic, a sedative, and n 1 powerful anti-bilious agent. Never before were these six sanative qualities comprehended in one medicine, and never before did one medicine cure so many different I diseases. Dyspepsia, liver-complaint, dis; eases of the kidneys, rheun atism, inter j mittent fever, di-orders of the bowels. ; gout, nervous affections, and maladie; proceeding from the impurity of the blood, ' are only a few of the bodily ills for which Vinegar Hitters is considered an unfail 1 ing remedy.?Coin, i ?
