Allen, Queens Couuty, N. Y. writes the American Agriculturist that li has found three drops of tincture of colt cynth a sure cure for colic. The tinctur is to be given in three or four tablespoon fuls of water, repeating tho dose ever twenty minutes uutil there is relief. Col< cynin is a strong irritant, yet, nithoug we do not doubt thut horses havo rccov ered from colic after taking three droj of tincture of colocynth, we can hardl believe that so small a dose has produce this effect. It is given to the human sul ject in doses-0/ from live to fifteen grain* Among the most effoctual remedies fo 9 both spasmodic and flatulent colic in th hone are the following: Aloes, eigb drams; tincture of nconite, thirty drops in a pint of water; or linseed oil a pint to which may or not be added an ounc of sulphuric ether: or oil of turpentine two drams; laudanum, one ounce; lie seed oil, a pint, or in great pain, lnudnnur two ounces; warm water, eight ounces Veterinarians often use hypodermicall Magenda's solution of morphine froi twenty to forty drops, or asafetida tw ounces, tincture of opium (laudanum half an ounce. The doses above are i marked contrast to the doses of colocynth which arc not more thau from a quartc to a grain, probably. vs THE ODDS-AND-END CORNSR. . Every one should have a corner of th BF from.

Preventives are, shelter from c the heat, abundance of good water, aud i. the reinforcement by palatable, succulent sr feeds of the exhausted pastures.

Saul, having refused to obey God mt nd follow Him, is simply left by God to the . guidance of the one whom he preferred. -J David, after his anointing, returned to the P" rare of bis father's sheep; Saul, having learned that he was a skillful player on the 1 harp, sent fpr him that ho might thus quiet to him when troubled with the evil spirit, and $43 ?o he became Saul's armor bearer, but seems be* to have at times returned to feed his father's ( ?h?**p at Bethlehem (xvti., IS). tbv 88. "And David said to 8auL Let no man's m heart tail because of htm." The armies of Israel and of the Philistines were in battle ? rrav upon two mountains facing each other, t md between them lay a valley; for forty Jj lays, raornimr and i>??nin? ;iant, the champion of the Philistines, stood ind cried for some man of Israel to come and * lght with him, saying. If he kill me we will roi se your servants, ana if I kill ht?n yon will in | Je our ser rants. Thus he defied or reproached the armies of Israel, and inasmuch as he was 1 * man over nine feet high, his coat of mail cel< weighing over 150 pounds, and the head of anc lis speur about twenty pounds, no man in tra Israel was willing to try battle with him. i mowieis m tug aimyy tmt n,e unong all the thousands of Israel there was oar 10 one, from the King down, who had fadth ^ jnough iu God to contend with this proud, de- . lent and wicked adversary. At this time ' David arrives in camp, briuging from home "J? lome food for his brethren and a present for ~5I :he coptain of their thousand, and, seeing mw matters stood, expressed surprise that lo ' he armies of the living God shouln be defied 1 >y a man, and ho an unclrcumcised Philis- Fri inc. He is brought before Saul and says to he ilm the words of this verse. ant 83. " And Saul said to David, Thou art toi lot able." Saul, like all his soldiers, saw only ( vith his natural eyes, and looking upon dg, David's youth and apparent inexperience 1n the natters of war, said: Thou art but a youth, Qu vhiio this Philistine is a man of war from his d#, ,outli, and therefore thou art not nblo to go . igainst him to fight with him. In Saul's yes it was simply a Question of man against , nan, and so it seemed to be in the eyes of all ^ Israel, and the God of Israel, the Lord God . v if Hosts, was not thought of, much less relied ipou. How could a i>eople whose history . 'rotn their very beginning was so full of the nighty power of God on their behalf over orget Rim or fail to trust in Him ? 84-30. "He hath defied the armies of the living God." The Living God was to David i far greater reality than this mass of defiant C md blaspheming flesh and blood. If David f vas but a youth and unskilled iu the art of Qn var, he knew the Living God aud had per- R onal dealings with Him. * 37. "The Lord that delivered me, ? * '' vlll deliver mo." This sounds like the great * iI?>stlo to the Gentiles when he said: "I was rub lclivered out of the mouth of the lion; and I he Lord shall deliver mo from every evil at i vork. aud will preserve mo unto His heavenly for dngnom."

When rxf Saul saw the grand confidence of David in *1 he Living God, he said, "Go, and the Lord baa ic with theo;" then he armed David with his poi irinor and David assayed to go, but he was tbi dad to put it off, for he was not accustomed / to rely upon such helps.

"Thou contest with sword, spear and "I shield; but I come in tho name of the Lord 1 of Hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, Bp whom tnou hast defied." Goliath reprcsented simply himself and his own power pr and skill; but David thought nothing of him- del 6elf; he represented the Lord of Hosts, the % God of Israel, and tho question was not what d could David do, but what could he do in . whose name David went forth. 46. "That all the earth may know that ki> there is a God in Israel." David says what God will do, and that through him as the in- ' strumont, but the object will bo to honor ? God and not David.

"So David prevailed over the Phills- ac tine with a sling and with a stone."

And leafy lips soooi whispering prayer. Beneath this roof of braided bouglts Wo may renew onr sacred rows; . For here we see, like Are divine. The bunting bush and tho flaming vine. This is tho temple of the Lord, Hero nature slugs In sweet accord Her happy hymn of grateful thanks, From shady groves and grassy bankx As vapors rise toward the sun. As brooklets to ibe ocean run, As plants spring upward from tho sod Our thoughts here turn to heaven and Go-. The rocks are altars by tho brook, And psalms are writ iu nature's book; The towering pine, a tapering roiro, The radiant birds our ringing choir. Red blossoms are tho fragrant urns And censer cups, whero Inconso burns; God is our trust, and He will bkes Onr worship in the wilderness. ?Geary? W.Uvngay, in National Advocal< *n? nruroirw *? * **?? The Ptxtirie Farmer has insisted?does ye ?that the trno way to diminish tho iinmod orato drinking of spirituous and fermento liquors is to have it considered degrading fo persons to bo seen drinking at public bars and pepooially that tho treating habit b abolished. It will become so as Goon as th average man booonvM^ashe^etttr>|bc.^ k educated thoroto by tho more sober-mindo<l that can bring this about. Accomplished, i would reduco the public dram-shop nuisanc one-half at once, and, finally, do away almoc entirely with these peat-nolos of drunkonnew It would mako Sundays ordorly in our groa cittoe, savo money to tho homos of workin; men, eliminate nine-tenths of the criminal from the oountry, and carry tho hundreds c millions of dollars now viciously spent t drink into malting tho homos of the now in temperate classes comfortable. It would d away in a great measure with strikes au other labor troubles, for then the workin men could think not only earnestly, but ct gently toward righting the differences b< rween employers and themselves. It has boon said that the consumption c spirits is yearly decreasing through tho onac! ment of prohibitory laws.

The beer garden is tho primary school intemperance. In Chicago, says a leading browor, eight six per cent, of tho saloons aro controled 1 the breweries. The beer bill of Chicago last year was 800,000. No wonder that in Chicago there f complaints of poverty. . In Kansas thero is but one pauper to eve 1858 of tho copulation. This shows that pi bihition prohibits pauperism. Of the sovonty-rtvo criminals in the pris at Stockton, Cnl., all hut one acknowfedg ctrong drink ne tho causo of their sinning.
