The Fisherman's Widow.
Down on the sands, when the tide is low,
I sit and dream of the " long* ago
The children play at their mother's feet,
And the chime of the waves is hushed and
sweet;
But a voice drifts over the quiet shore,
And whispers, " The sea shall bo no more.*'
Down an the sands, when the red light pales,
I sit and watch for the fisher's sails;
And my heart throbs stills with the old, old
pain,
For the boat that will never come back again;
But a new world waits fcr my love and me?
A world of peace?where is no more sea.
For God is good, and the gift he gave
Is held a while by that silver wave ;
Not lost, but hidden ; I may not weep,
While he is at rest in the solemn deep,

Farmhouse notes.
Milk.?The milk producers in the
neighborhood of Chicago have formed
an association for the protection of their
interests. At a late meeting they decided
to fix the wholesale price of milk for the
six months, beginning with October first,
at eighteen cents a gallon. During the
summer it was twelve and a half cents a
gallon. The association is new, but is
growing in strength.
Fbuit Trees.?It has been suggested
more than once that in setting out fruit
trees, they should be placed in the same
position with reference to the points of
the compass as before transplanting.
The same idea is brought out in a recent
article in Lts Monde*, where the neglect
of this precaution is given as explaining
why some trees are weak, contorted and
stunted. They became so, as the writer
believes, in the ellorts to recover their
original "orientation." The theory is
1 -ui ?,i
certainly a piausioie <juc, uuu 10
those who are setting out trees to make
a note of it.
Whole Wheat.?Wash a quart of
clean, white winter wheat, put it with
water in a farina kettle or in a tin pail
set into a kettle of boiling water, the
pail being kept from the bottom of the
kettle by a few naik or pebbles thrown
in, ami cook it slowly for twelve hours ;
or until the kernels are quite soft. Both
the kettle and pail should be kept well
supplied with hot water. If any salt is
wanted it should be added after the
wheat is cooked, as salt will render the
bran tough. Wlieat thus prepared is excellent,
eaten with milk or dressed with
cream and sugar.
A Good Keceipt foii Making Bread.
?Good flcur, good yeast, and a careful
hand are requisite. From three quarts of
sifted flour take one half-pint in a separate
vessel and scald it. Let the paste cool to
blood-heat, a'nd then add one egg, one
table-spoonful of salt, one cup of new milk,
and one cup of fresh yeast, Whip the
whole well with a spoon, and then pour
it into the midst of the three quarts of
flour; kuead it thoroughly with as much
warm water as will make it into a moder
ately stiff dough. Let the bread rise until
it is at least twice its former size; then,
after kneading a great deal, mold out the
loaves or rolls into smooth, regular forms;
wet them ovur with cold water to prevent
cracking, and set them to rise again under
a clean cloth. When on touching one
side they will quiver on the opposite side,
they are sufficiently light. Then wet
again with cold water, and bake immediately.
If fermentation has Dot taken
place at this stage, the bread will not be
sufficiently light; and if it is suffered to
ferment after this, the bread will lose its
sweetness. A tin kettle, with a closelyfitting
cover, is the best thing in which to
set your bread to rise, particularly when
it is set over night to We baked tor breakfast.
Plowing Sanpy Soils.?Spring is the
time to plow sandy soils. If plowed in
the Autumn the repeated freezings and
thawings of winter will so loosen and
lighten them a3 to be easily drifted and
injured by freshets, whereas it is desirable
to fall-plow heavy clays, which are
rendered friable by the freezings and
thawiugs of winter. Many farmers fear
that to subsoil plow saudv soil wouM be
too loose, by leaching, all the manure
they apply, forgetting that a very slight
percentage of clay or carbonaceous matter
is sufficient to absorb and retain
manures till used by plants ; for, if it
were not so, there would be few wells
the water of which would be fit to drink.
The fact is, that sandy soil?, as a rule,
are greatly benefited by subsoil plowing.
Such soils are easily and greatly compacted
by rains, so mueli so as to prevent
the easv penetration of the roots of
plants. When subsoil is plowed with
the lifting subsoil plow, which Uosens
but dees not bring the subsoil to the
surface, roots may strike deeply in
search of food. The roots of crops
afterward decaying in such soils, supply
organic matter, thus increasing their
tenacity, rendering them less liable to
drift, and improving them generally for j
the growing of crops.
ViNTiLATiox.-In an immigrant ship on
ope occasion, during a violent storm,
the captain, in order to keep the deck
clear and facilitate tho working of the
ship, sent the passengers into the hold,
ordered the hatches to be fastened down,
and kept them in that state all night.
In the morning, when the hatches were
removed, the hold was found to be full
%
of dead and dying. A modified form of
this state of tbiugs is to be found in
many a house in every town?where
partial murder is done night after night;
and the result is shattered health. The
body losses its tone and is reduced to
that state in which it falls an easy prey
to any infectious disorder, the seeds of
which may be floating about in search of
a fertile germinating bed. Every man
should be made to understand that he ,
requires not less than 150 or 100 cubic
feet of fresh air every hour, and that he
should not use over again what h..3
once passed through his lungs, till, like
foul water, it i$ cleansed by filtration.
People should be taught to fear polluted
air mere than draughts ?which would
?
amount to a total reversal of the present
belief, for we now see a general preferonce
for the former. Iu this respect |
men might cull a lesson from the bees,
wh?, while they heighten the temperature
of the hive, do it not at the expense |
of healthful condition. Their mode of
veulilation is perfect.
Oxen* in New York City.?To the intense
delight and astonishment ol the
"street arabs" and the suiprisc of many
other citizens, oxen, yoked in express and
business wagons, have been irequcntly
seen in the streets of New 1'ork since the
horse disease became prevalent. The
' stolid indifference of the oxen, which
winked their eyes and chewed their cuds
in a solemn manner, and the open mouthed
wonder of the city boys who crowded

Employer and Employe.
There appears to be a great diversity
of opinioH on the question of hired help, (
if the articles, which appear from time
to time in the Rural New-Yorker are
representative views ; so I will give you j
mine. Having an experience on both
sides, as a mechanic and farmer, i am <
satisfied that there is with each class (
much that needs reform. There are, (
strictly speaking, two divisions of each. (
I will endeavor to describe them as
found among my acquaintance. 1st. '
The worthless man, who can never be
depended upcn, who renders only eye 1
service and spends what he gets in the ,
rum shop or the saloon. Fortunately this
division is small.
2d. Those who, having no farms of
there own, must, for want of traefcs,
become farm hands. This division is
generally either young men, just earning
their first money, or men with families
to support. Of the second class I will
speak first of that division who are ,
-3? A. ^.1 tn rrflt rinli lot wllft will
UCtUliillUCU IU gV/b a 1WU) ?v? I' ?
suffer ; and this class of employers are
always complaining of their help. I
know men who are always up, ready for
the field by sunrise, during the longest
days ; take one hour to eat and rest at
noon, hurry from the field to supper, ,
eat in a hurry and back to work till sun- (
set ; and if it is possible to have a load
of hay to finish, or some wheat to shock i
after that time, so much better. They j
pay grudgingly the small sum of ten or
twelve York shillings for this day of
fifteen hours, i
These farmers are often vexed and j
worried because their "man don't come"
as he agreed to, or won't work without |
watching. Another man comes along j
?one who knows what a day's work is,
aud how to treat a human being. He \
can always get help, and the very best. ,
If he is with his hands in the field, they ,
feel free to rest if tired, and work moves
on easily and steadily, no extra haste ; 1
all are cheerful, and at eleven o'clock j
comes the call for dinner. Ample time 3
is given to cool the heated system before ]
eating ; then the hour's rest, and all ]
return to the field cheerful and refreshed
; and often before the.sun had dis- 1
appeared (but never after) he calls out, >
" Boys, we've done enough." He pays j
those who desire it each evening, and all ,
feel well .pleased. !
Now, you that complain of your help, 3
tell us if you ever knew a man treated j
in this way who was mean enough to j
leave his employer with a load of liay out j
or a lot of grain down that he wished to j
secure?even if it became dark before j
completed. When I hear a man always ]
complaining of his help, I am just so j
foolish as to think he is too mean and {
penurious for any man to work for who
has spirit and energy enough to make a 1
good farm baud. <
How to treat the Hew H rse Disease.
The Sanitary Committee of the board '
of Health of New York City presented j
the following report at a special session of
the Board, and the document was ordered *
on file:
The Sanitary Committee respectfully rel>ort
that in connection with Dr. Liantard,
veteiinary surgeon to the Board, they have
examined "the new phase" of the epidemic 1
among horses. The diseases spoken of as '
diopsv and glanders are sequelae, or re- ^
suits of the former affection, and resembles '
purpura hemorrhagica or scurvy of the
human subject. The blood is so detcrio- ^
rated that it escapes from the vessels into *
the cellular tissues under the skin, so as to |
cause large ecchymcsis into and through 1
the mucous membranes, giving rise to 1
bloody discharges, and even into the cancellated
portions of the bone. The red
globules arc in a state o( disintegration,
and the serum escaping from the vessels
collects under the skin in the most de- 1
pendent portions of the body, causing the
appearances known as dropsy. The collections,
if bloody, under the skin and the
discharges from the nose have been mistaken
for the swellings and discharges
peculiar to glanders. This destruction of
the integrity of the blood seems to be
largely due to to the effect of the preceding
fever, especially in the case of horses which
have previously been poorly fed, over-worked,
aud kept in ill-ventilated and filthy
stables. Another and powerlul exciting
cause is excessive midication during the
fovuv ami t.?K> earlv exDOsure to cold, wet.
and fatigue, with a poor and unnutritious
diet during convalescence. These fatal
complications are mostly found in horses
which have been sick under the circumstances
aoove mcutioued, and rarely in
horses which have been carefully kept previous
to the attack and well attended during
and after the fever. Horses convalescing
from this epedenne should lmve a
highly nutritious and easily digested diet,
To counteract the tendency to scurvy; iron
coni|)ouiids are useful, and such foods
should be especially selected as are rich in
normal saline constituents of the blood and
in amylaceous compounds. Such are the
various bulbous roots, viz., turnips, carrots,
rutabaga, potatoes, &. These tobe readily
masticulatcd and digested should be boiled
and mixed with bran 01 other mash.
Death oe a Valuable House.?Commodore
Tanderbilt's famous trotting horse
('Mountain Boy," dice" at his stable in New
York* About three weeks ago be began
to cough and it was thought at first that
lie had contracted the then prevailing
horse malady, but as there was no (lis
charge from the nostrils the cough \vjl< attributed
to a cold, and only the usual
remedies forsucb affection were administered.
He was valued at over 8100,000 and
could not hart beeu bought at any price.
The Wheat Crop.?The amoaut of
wheat raised in 1872, in the United States,
is estimated at two hundred and forty
I million bushels. This will give six bushels
to cac'u individual of the ] opulation?an
amount iu excess of our consumption,
which is fivo bushels to each individual
per annum. There will then be left forty
A Lunatic's Ball.
The New York Sun has a description
of a ball at the Lunatic -Asylum, Ward'i
Island. It says :
At precisely 7 o'clock about fortj
female lunatics entered the gymnasium
They were attired in all sorts of costumes
The dresses of some resembled night
gowns, while others wore several suits o
clothing and looked like travelling old
clothes establishments. Some won
jockey hats trimmed with ribbons of al
the hues of the rainbow ; others imita
ted the Dolly Yarden style of dress
but all were neat and cleanly, orderl;
and very ladylike. A few moments late
nearly as many men arrived. The;
wore every kind of costume, from tin
homely garb of the institution to tin
well-cut clothes of a fashionable Broad
way tailor. Some of them carried 01
their .persons a wardrobe so large tha
it must have taken years to accumulate
while others, wearing cotton gloves o
all colors, were so thinly habited tha
they almost hugged the red-hot stov<
in tho corner. Both men and womei
were accompanied by their keepers.
Soon the physicians entered, escortinj
their lady guests. Several of the olde
patients crdfcded about them, on thei
entrance, and in the politest manne
complimented the young ladies on thei
improved appearance and requested t<
be allowed to escort them to supper
cOvmn ctwlfd nf f1>Pir ljififc meefcinc in tbi
Hotel de Ville at Paris, others had me
on the Continent, one bad seen the lad;
with whom he was conversing in a Cali
fomia gold mine, and one poor lunati<
told Miss Sherman that together tli?j
bad swum across the Red Sea, nearl;
four hundred years ago.
After Dr. Kellogg had spent sonn
time in coaxing two very obstinat
patients to begin the performance, on<
[>f them seated himself at the pian<
while the other began tuning a violin
The pianist was not very tractable. Hi
positively refused to play without hi
notes, but whon at length a cunninj
lunatic placed a sheet of paper befon
bim on which were written the words
"Do not spit on the fluor," he suddenb
began playing an overture from Strauss
The execution was admirable. Tin
pianist was Bernard Gallierre, a religi
nus monomaniac, who believes that tbi
Supreme Being speaks to him ever
night, and that he alone, of all hii
friends, has conversation daily with the
mgels about the throne. Mr. Gluber
the violinist, also a good performer, ii
subject to fits of melaucholv, and a
limes is very dangerous. He irnaginei
himself a great military man, auddressei
n the fatigue uniform of a Unitec
States soldier.
The master of ceremonies was Henn
Masquer, a Cuban, whose father is i
General in the Revolutionary army o:
2uba. Vasqnez is a victim of emotiona
nsanity. He killed his mistress abou
:hree years ago in .New lorK, and it wa:
mid at the time that ?10,000 was paic
or his certificate of insanity. He is als(
credited with having killed two womer
n Cuba, lie dresses elegantly, but ii
undoubtedly a man more to be fearet
:han pitied.
After the dance, a stout old gentle
nan entered the room. His hair an<
leard were as white as the driven snow
lie wore a green patch over one eye
lilack kid gloves, seveD coats and vest;
were on his back, and he carried i
broken umbrella in one hand. In th<
itlier hand was an old hat, bedecke<
with long black ribbons and filled wit]
*rass and weeds. These ho divide<
into small portions: and distributed a
lioquets to some of the female patients
A most polite bow, a gallant speech, am
then the presentation, after which he wa
introduced to the reporter as Dr. Pent2
and thus addressed him :
"Sir, I am wealthy. I own two iniJ
lions of land on Blackwell's Island
Sir, I am Lord Blackwell. I make yo
Lord Selkirk. Ladies (in a loud tone]
thi3 is Lord Selkirk. 1 am the Duke c
Washington. I knew Lord Selkirk
father ut the battle of Piper Heidsiecl
Now, sir (in a lower key), I will mak
you Earl of Glenarvy, and deputize yo
with power extraordinary. Go to Wash
ington, sir."
Beporter?What shall I say to Ger
Grant for yon, doctor ?
Dr. Pentz?Tell him he was a grea
soldier?so was I, sir?but he never di
any good for the people. Tell him thif
sir. Tell him the Pake of Washingto:
says so, sir, and tell him that he ough
to go to Europe and remain there fo
eighteen years.
While this conversation was going o:
Dr. Taylor was trying to induce th
musicians to play a waltz. They wer
obstinate, and one refused to begin be
fore the other. For a time it seeme
not improbable that the ball woul
prove a failure, but at length Gallierr
gave in, and Dr. Taylor waltzed wit]
Kitty Doyle, an unfortunate girl afHicte'
with hereditary insanity.
The next dance was a gallop. Th
most extraordinary dancers in it wer
Charles Cray, commonly called "Charle;
the Tailor," and Miss Carr, a spiritual
ist; Charley, who danced as though h
was tied up in a sack, imagines that a
the ladies are in love with him. Mis
Cair thinks she is Queen Elizabeth
with immense wealth and valuable dii
monds, and her crown and sceptre locke
up in New York. The'truth is thi
Miss Carr was a lady of surpassing bear
ty and attractions, as well as of educt
tion, with brilliant conversational pov
ere, when she became the petted mistref
of a wealthy English nobleman. 0
the continent a Spanish nobleman b<
came enamored with her, and the
eloped to Cuba. There the Spaniar
deserted her, and an American IravelliB
agent fell in love with her and took h<
to California, where he died. He, o
his death-bed, willed her $50,000, whic
she spent in one year?one relic onl
being left; it is a pawn ticket for
loeket set with fcamonds, worth $5CK
This and a few silk and satin dresses
! and some laces comprise the oor crea
g tares all. She is hopelessly insane.
It then being half past eight o'clock,
j Dr. Kellogg asked his lunatics to dance
a jig before they retired. At this their
doll eyes seemed to become bright, the
. look of idiocy left them momentarily,
f and all jumped upon the floor anxious to
. dance. Even the musicians seemed to
e catch the inspiration, and they rattled
1 off a lively tune as though the destinies
_ of a nation depended on the speed.
( Then the lunatics began to dance.
y While dancing the jig some stepped the
r Germau, others danced the polka, some
y imitated the Shaking Quakere, and
Q some even essayed the cancan. Some
e seemed bound up with rope?. while
others appeared to be double-jointed,
j Some danced with the peculiar air of a
i. snnthern darkfiv. while ^others skinned
with the grace of a gazelle,
f At nine o'clock the keeper3 mustered
t their patients and marched them back
e to the asylum. All were evidently much
a pleased and benefitted by the evening's
entertainment.
^ A Chapter on Horses.
r Mr. Edmund Tattersall, in a communir
cation published in BelVs Life in London,
r 6ays: " There are 1,600 stallions in Ger0
many, the property of the government.
: iuch a country deserves to have good
e cavalry. She had them when they were
wanted, has got others to take the places
y of those lost in war, is still buying in the
English market*, and has for twenty years
, or more been buying all our best, active,
y useful half-bred mares, which nevei?ought
y to have been allowed to go out of the
country, and would never have gone if we
e had a properly managed national stud.
There are in Germany and Austria several
, large breeding studs of marcs, to which
5 are put horses got by and bred from sur
best thoroughbred stallions, such as Breda
albane, purchased lor 6,000 guineas, Ostreger
fcr 3,000 guineas, &c. From these
, studs the stallions are bred which are disg
tributed over the country at the service
of the farmers and breeders at a mere
y nominal price. In Austria the same system
is pursued on a still larger scale as to
the number of stallions, which in that
country, I am informed on good authority,
number 4,000, the property of the governy
ment. The consequence is that when
they want horses for the cavalry or for
; other purposes they can always be found
and bought at a reasonable price. Where
j could we get 4,000 or 5,000 good horses if.,
j. wanted suddenly, I will ask, and shall be
3 glad to know, in England? Many will be
3 surprised, I think, to hear?as I must adj
mit I was?that a great many more horses
are now imported into England than are
7 exported from it, and that one-third, if
; not one-half, of the London job horses are
? foreigners. The number of horses bred in
j England and Ireland, I believe, is dccreask
ing, while the price is gradually rising in
g au alarming ratio for the buyers. I am
j told that theie is a tax ou all marcs sent
5 out of Germany. Why should not a tax
t be put on all mares to be exported frem
j England?"

Be on the Safe Side.
We bold health and life by a frail tenure, and not to
protect them to the best of our ability would stem to
argue a deficiency of common sent 9. The se&i thing
winds and cold rains of spring, th* tropic heat of summer,
the malarious vspors of autumn, and the paralyzing
temperature of winter, are all inimical to those finely
adjusted and sensitive pieces of mechanicism ws call
oar bodies. Esch season has its peculiar perils, and the
fall is perhaps as prolific of dangorous disorders as any
of them ; for at this seeson fevers and bowel complaints
art very apt to take an epidemic form. As a preventive
of this class of diseases, Ilostetter's Stomach Bitters
cannot be too warmly recommended. In it are combined
five essential medical propertie*. It is a tonic, at once
powerful and wholesome?a stimulant, pure and undefiled?:n
aperient, mild and painle>*?an anti-bilious
agent of marvelous efficacy, and a general regulating
medicine without an equal in the pharmacopeia. These
five distinct properties, operating together in perfect
harmony, produce a condition of the system somewhat
analagous to that brought about by a course of pugilistic
training. In other words, as judicious physical training

to break np the most troublesome Cough in a few hours
if not of too long standing. It is warranted to give

L. C. Cottrell, Druggist at Marine City. Michigan,

Balsam ; send me half a gross as soon as you can ; I
would rather be out of any oCer medicine in my store.
The Li'RO Balsam nev#r fails to do good for thoso
