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.

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

Small Pox.?The India MedicaUrnzet'

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

proper quantities, lobster stands secou

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

A Beautiful Experiment.?The

Take two or three leaves of red cab(

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

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,

heavy. It is fourteen inches

police force as a "parade club." It is a

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

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

and crookedness of the river. The

The Oil Question.? 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?

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

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.

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,
