* HOW THE PARSON WAS CAUGHT.
In one of the small interior towns of New
Md, where the superstition! of our an
still possess a hold on the people,
the facts occurred a few years since, of
which the following is a true narrative:
An honest farmer and his family pre- _
paring to celebrate Thanksgiving at his
- wife'a father's, in an ancient town, were
hurried and confused extremely on the dtfy
preceding that festival, by the multiplicity
of things which must be done before they
conld leave home with safety. The house ,
was to.he "banked up," and the gleanings
of the harvest?cabbages, turnips, and so
forth?put in the cellar, that the external
, entrance thereto might be closed np for the
season. Having carried in the vegetables,
the boys were dispatched to the earn for
straw :to ?11 the passages with, wJrile the
good man himself was bnsied on the oppof
Site side of the house.
; An old rani, the horned patriarch of the
flock of sheep kept on the farm, having got
a twte of the scattered cabbage leaves, unobserved
entered the cellar and continued
his feast- The avenue through -which he
entered was immediately closed up, and all
v the necessary works and arrangements being
completed, the larger boys and girls set
!<>ff on foot in high glee, the dog running
and barking before them. ?
Soon. after, the parents and their little
ones, having put out the fires, and fastened
the doors and windows to keep out thieves,
started for the same destination.
Oh the afternoon of the day following
the festival, Uie family returned home ac
companied by some young cousins. Some
> of their youthful neighbors of both sexes
were invited in, and a merry Thanksgiving
carousal was in full tide df sucoessfm operation,
when one of the boys, who had been
1 sent into the-cellar with a little two wick
candle, which gave iust light enough to '
make darkness visible, to draw cider, ran
back into.the room, with eyes glaring wild- 1
ly, uttering the half-suffocated exclamation,
"The devil is in the cellar!"
"Pooh!" said the father, "you have only i
been frightened by your own shadow; give 1
me the fight." ? ,
e ^Saying this, he seized the candle?lea- }
Ting the candlestick fast in the hands of the '
hoy, and boldly rushed to the cellar steps,
hut before he had descended half the steps, ''
the large saucer 'eyes and enormous horns <
cf the ram caused him to retretft as much 1
terrified as his son, exclaiming, "Sure e- :
nough the devil is in the cellar! j
The good man seised the great Bible,
and attempted to read, bnt the candle spat- 1
tered, burned blue, and threw such a faint 1
light on the sacred pages, and the book i
trembled so much ^n the hands of the read- ;
. er, that he could not distinguish one word-1
from another. The little children cried 1
and clung-to their mother, the girls nestled ?
close to weir favorite beaux, and the whole 1
house was shaken with the agitation of its i
half demented inhabitants. One bright !
thought, however, occurred and a message (
was sent for the minister to come and "lay ]
the devil." *
The parson, a man more celebrated for 1
good nature, piety, and credulity, than for (
talent and heroism; slipped a small Bible ?
into his pocket, put on his band and sur- ?
flice, so he should appear as formidable as
.possible to his great antagonist, and hasten- (
ed to the relief of his distressed parishion- (
ers. On coming to the house the reverend ]
gentleman was hailed as a deliverer, and *
implored by at least a dozen persons, at the t
same moment, to drive the devil away. But 1
few moments were lost in asking that which 1
no one knew, before the parson poshed for- <
ward as a leader, with the same penurious 1
light, into .the cellar, the most courageous <
of the company keeping close behind him.
He reached the foot of the stairs, the eyes
of fire, and the shadowy outline of the enormous
horns, magnified tenfold, at least, by
the terror of those who beheld them, removed
all doubt, if any had existed in his
"mind, as to the infernal nature of the being
with whom he had to contend. The divine
instantly fell on his Knees, and with uplifted
hands, began to pray in his most fervent
manner. The ram, not understanding the
pious man's motives, but supposing by the
- motion of his hands that he was daring him
.'to a butting contest, made a pass with all
his might at his supposed adversary, but,
deceived by the swelling dimensions of his
drapery, missed the slender body of the
priest, and drawing hastily back to renew
the assault, hooked one of his h?rns into
the belt of his surplice, and pulled the
priest with him into the cellar. While thus
m the power of his victorious foe, he lost
hope, so far as it regarded himself, and the
natural benevolence of his disposition, burst
forth in exclamation, "Brethren, take care
of yourselves, the devil has got me!"
The exhortation was better obeyed than
any he had ever delivered from the pulpit,
- his friends all fled and left him to his fate.
Among the company was a shrewd young
farmer, who had, from the first, supposed
the fiend to be some domestic animal, but
being a lover of fun and willing to see a
comedy, kept his thoughts to himself, and
pretended to sympathize with others in
their fears. He thought it time to interfere,
and, snatching a pitch pine knot from
the blazing fire, expressed his determina
tion to rescue the preacher or perish in the
attempt.

"What doe$ the devil care for fire ?" said
another.
<4Take along the Bible, if you will go,"
shouted another.
But, unheeding the suggestions, and the
manifestations of concern for his safety, he
pushed into the cellar, seized the animal by
one of his horns, and dragged the strug
. - gling ram up stairs, calling to the astonished
parson?"Follow me!"
The horned devil was led in triumph,
followed by the ecclesiastic, into the midst
of the company.
A momentary silence and hanging down
of heads ensued, but the past scene was too
ludicrous to admit of sober reflection, and
loud peals of laughter burst forth from every
side, during which the ram was trotted
out at the door, the parson absented himself
without ceremony, and the sports of
the evening were resumed with better spir'
its than before.

An Irishman being asked at the dinner
whether he would take some apple
pie, said:
"Is it houlsome ?"
"To be sure it is; why do you ask that
question?"
"Becase I once had an uncle that was
killed with apple plexy,. and sure I thought
it something of the same sort of dish."

ECONOMY IN FEEDING HOHSE8.
The great drawbackon the farmers profits
is the consumption of fodder by the alldevouring
draft horse, and too little attention
is given to the economy of fodder, and
to the preparation of it in such a manner
that while there is as little waste as possible,
the ,food is given in a shape in which
it can be easily masticated ana reduced to
that pulpy mass, which can be taken up by
the blood vessels and distributed throughout
the tissues, which extend all over the
frame.
Tlio ornonao nf fpprlin or hnmpa i?otf>npr.
ally ?0 great as to hare a very injurious
effect on the pecuniary circumstances of
the tillage farmer, and it is a question
whether he should be better off without any
tillage land. At all events, farmers who
keep nearly all their land in grass for the '
purpose of raising cattle or sheep, are generally
much better off than those who keep
a large portion of their farms tilled and are
compelled to have a large number of horses
to do the work. One thing is certain, that I
if horses are kept, they must be fed, and the
manner of feeding with the least possible
expense, and the greatestrbenefit to the animals,
is a matter of very great importance
to the farmer. i . ,
There is a variety of articles available !
for feeding farm horses in a very substan- ;
tial manner at a reasonable expense.? i
Steamed potatoes are strongly recommen- ;
ded as a cheap and useful provender. In
feeding with anv kind of grain, it should i
always be bruised, or what is better, coarse*- i
ly ground. The hay should be cut into i
chaff, that is into small lengths of from a j
quarter to half an inch, mixed with a pro- <
portion of straw, cut in a similar manner. (
In the stables of Hamburg and Trueman, i
in Spitalsfields, eighty-two horses are kept, j
The animals receive all their food in the 1
manger; no hay is ever put in the rackl ^
The whole are in excellent condition, evin- i
cing the correctness of the management, j
Each horse consumes in the twenty-four -j
hours eighteen pounds of cut hay and ]
straw, of which the latter constitutes one- i
eighth, fourteen pounds of bruised oats, one i
pounti of bruised beans?making in all thirty-three
pounds of food". In summer beans
are not given, being found too heating; ]
hut instead of the beans a small addition is <
made to the quantity of oats. Half a pound t
af salt is given to each horse, divided into j
two portions; one given on Saturday, apd j
the other on Sunday, which so given, pur- i
ges moderately. j
Dr. Sully, of Somersetville, England, has |
>een very successful in feeding horses. He <
ias adopted the following mode of treat- |
nent, and has persevered in it for thirty i
pears. His horses work hard, and are always
in good condition: In his stables <
;here are no racks to hold hay, as he con- t
uders it a wasteful method of feeding; and t
;hat the horse's, when they have the com- j
nand . of their heads, pull the hay out of f
;he racks and throw considerable portions 1
>f it under their feet, and that twenty ?
rounds of hay and upward are often con- i
turned in this way, and spoiled in the ?
;wenty-four hours; whereas, when it is cut ?
ind mixed with a due proportion of cut ?
itrew and braised grain, ten ponnds will be <
lufficient. . t
In the loft above the stablq?proportional ?
[uantities of food, sufficient for the daily y
jonsumption of each horse, is prepared; a (
ripe passes from the loft to each manger, 1
ind close by the top of the pipe is placed a ]
;ube capable of containing sufficient food <
for a horse for twenty-four hours. To pre- i
rent the horse from tossing the mixed food <
jut of the manger, cross bars are nailed on ]
the top of it, at twelve inches apart. The
;ut hay and straw, and also the grain, are
regularly weighed out, and when the ingrelients
are prepared, the portions for each
borse are allotted. For the sake of variety
ihe ingredients of the food are divided into
"our classes, consisting of farinaceous subjtances,
such as bruised beans, peas, wheat,
larley or oats; bran, fine or coarse; pota;oes,
boiled or steamed; boiled barley, hay
jut into chaff, straw cut into chaff, meal
lust or ground oil cake, with two ounces of
salt in each thirty pounds of feed.
The ingredients of the daily ration (thirty
pounds) in class 1, consist of five pounds
if bruised oats, or beans, etc.; five pouuds
if boiled potatoes; six pounds of boiled
barley; seven pounds of chopped hay. The
ingredients of class 2, consist of five pounds
if bruised grain; five pounds of boiled or
jteamed potatoes; eight pounds of chopped
bay;* ten pounds of chopped straw; two
pounds of meal dust. Class 3; ten pounds
bruised grain ; ten pounds chopped hay;
ten pounds chopped straw. Class 4, five
pounds of bruised grain; seven pounds of
leans; eight pounds of chopped straw, and
two pounds of malt dust.
It will be seen from the foregoing paragraph
that each horse receives thirty pounds
if food in twenty-four hours; a quantity
which in all cases will be found amply sufficient
; the addition of-two ounces of salt is
accessary to assist digestion. It is known
that all herbivorous animals in their wild
state resort to salt wherever it is to be met
mtn. Ui the tour classes into which Dr. ?
Sully divides the ingredients of his food for ]
horses, those which contain the boiled or
3teamed potatoes are most recommended, j
Facts for Poor Farmers.?"Those 1
farmers who have most difficulty to make 1
both ends meet, always plow most and keep '
most stock. Now these men take the true
plan Jo keep themselves always poor, because
their crops and stock are always poor *
and bring little." So writes John John- 1
son, in a letter to the Secretary of our
State Society; and he thus illustrates his
statement: "It is good profit to raise 300 .
bushels of wheat from ten acres, but when
it takes thirty acres to raise that amount,
it is raised at a loss. So it is with cattle
and sheep?you will see the thinking farmer
making four-year old steers worth from
$60 to $80 each; and his neighbor's at the
same age not worth over $25 to $40." His
advice to the latter is, "if his land is exhausted,
he should plow no more than he
can thoroughly manure. Seed with clover
and grass, and let it rest, and that field
will not only pay well for tillage, but it will
furnish manure (if rightly managed) to
make another field of the same size, rich
also." And then keep it rich: do not run
it with grain until again exhausted, or "the
latter end of that land will be worse than
the first."
g?* Physiologists, after patient and close
inquiry, have arrived at the conclusion that
the power of the entire man, his vitality, is
as much expended by two hours of deep
mental effort as by a whole day of ordinary
bodily labor.
AN EXCITING Site. r, !
A great "experience meeting," seme
years ago, was to be Held one evening in
church, where the speakers were, as
usual, to he reformed drunkards. i An estimable
woman, whom we will call Alice,1
was induced to attend. When the meeting
was somewhat advanced, a late member of
Congress, arose with apparent sadness and
hesitation.
"Though I had consented, at your urgent
solicitation, to address this assembly
to night," he said, "yet 1 have felt so great
a reluctance in doing so, that it has l>een
with the utmost difficulty that I conld drag
myself forward. As to relating my experience,
that I do not think I can venture
tirw-in Tfco nftfit T dn tint. rAi<n1l T nnnld
wish that the memory of ten years of my
fife were T>lot?ed ant. Tie paused a moment,
much affected, and then added in a
final voice, "something must be said; Of
my own case, or I fail to make the impression
on your minds'that I wish to produce.
* !
"Your speaker once stood among the
respected members of the bar. Nay, more
than that, he occupied a seat in Congress
for two congressional periods. And more
than that," ne continued, his voice sinking
into a tone expressive of deep emotion,
he once had a tenderly lOved wife'and two
sweet children. But all these blessings,
have departed from him. He was unworthy
to retain them; his constituents
threw him off because be had debased himself
and disgraced them. And moreythan
all, she who bad loved him devotedly, the
mother of his babes, was forced to abandon
him and seek an asylum in her father's
bouse. And why ? Could I become
so changed in so few short years? What
power was there to so debase me that my
Vavm ami) Iktrnn iliA WnTo

of my bosom turned away heart stricken
from me? Alas, my friends, it was a mad
indulgence in intoxicating drinks. But
for this, I were an honorable and useful
representative in the halls of legislation
and blessed with home and wife and children.
"But
I have not told you all. After my
wife was separated from me, I sank rapidly.
A state of sobriety brought too many
dreadful thoughts; I drank more deeply
Mid was rarely if ever freefrom the bewildering
effects of partial intoxication. At last
[ became so abandoned, that my wife,
irged by her friends, no doubt, filed an
ipplication for a divorce, as cause could
ie readily shown why it should be grantid,
a separation was legally declared; and
to complete my disgrace, 1 was left off the
;icket as unfit to represent the district.
"When I heard this new movement, the
rreat temperance cause, at first; I sneered,
hen wondered, listened at last, Jfiid at last
hrew myself on the great wave that was
oiling onward, in hope of being carried
ar out of the reach or danger. I did not
lope with a vain hope. It did for me all
ind more than I could have desired. It sat
ne once more on my feet, once more made
k man of me. A year of sobriety, earnest
kttention to my profession- ana fervent
irayer to Him, who alone gives strength in
svery good resolution, restored me to much
hat I nave lost;4)ut not all, not the richsst
treasure that I have proved myself unvorthy

Between myself and these the law
ias laid its stern impassable interdictions.
[ have no longer children, though my heart
;oes towards these loved ones with*the
;enderest yearnings. Pictures of our early
lays of wedded love are ever lingering in
tiv imacnnation. I dream of the sweet
ireside circle, I see ever before me the
pale face of my Alice, as her eyes looked
nto mine with intelligent confidence; the
nusic of her voice is ever sounding in my
jars."
Here the speaker's emotion overcame
lim; utterance became choked, and he stood
jilent, with bowed head and trembling
imbs.x The dense mass of people were
lushed into an oppressive stillness, that
(vas broken here and there by half-stifled
jobs.
At this moment there was a movement
;n the crowd. A single female figure, before
whom every one appeared instinctively
to give way, was seen passing up the
lisle. This was not observed by the speakjr
until she had come nearly in front of
the platform on which he stood.. Then
the movement caught his ear,.his eyes that
instant fell on Alice, who by the kindness
)f those near her, was conducted to his
side. The whole audience, thrilled with
the scene, were upon their feet, bending
forward, when the speaker extended his
irms, and Alice threw herself upon his bosom.
An aged minister then came forward and
gently separated them. "No, no," said
;he reformed Congressman, "you cannot
;ake her away from me."
"Heaven forbid that I should," said the
minister; "but by your own confession
>he is not your wife." "No, she is not,"
returned the speaker, mournfully. "But is
ready to take her vows again," modestly
said Alice, in a low tone, smiling through
ler tears.
Before that large assembly, all standing,
md with few dry eyes, the marriage ceremony
was again performed, that gave the
speaker and Alice to each other. As the
minister, an aged man with thin white
locks, completed the marriage rite, he laid
bis hands upon the heads of the two he had
joined in the holy bands, and lifting up his
streaming eyes, said in & solemn voice,
"What God has joined together, let not
man put asunder.','
"Amen!" was cried by the whole assembly,
as with a single voice.?Old Oaken

How to Keep Hams Through Summer.?After
your hams have taken salt,
hang them up and smoke them well, then
take them down and dip them into boiling
water for a few seconds; that will kill all
the eggs of insects, if there should be any
on them ; then roll them dry in ashes while
wet and hang them up a^ain; smoke them
more if you choose. This will do also for
shoulders and sides; and those that do their
bacon in this way will never have any bugs
or skippers on their meat.

"Come f you ihaltcome." , , ..." j
And then John tried to pull Frank along
by main force; but, the more John pulled,
the more Frank made up his mind not to
yield. ' 1
While the dispute went on, they came to
a place in the rogd where a man was trying
to make a horse pull a great load of stones.
The horse had stopped to' rest, when the
man began to btot him..
This the horse did not like, for he had
tried to "his best': so "he stood, stock still.?
In vain did the man lay on. tbe last: the
horse Would not start. In vain did the man
swear at him: the horse did not mind his
oaths.
Just then a young man came up, and said
to the man with the load of stones, "Why
do you treat a good, brave horse in that
way? He would pull for you till he died,
if would only treat him kindly. Stand aside,
and let me show you how to treat a
horse."
; . So the man stood aside; and the young
man went up. and put: his arm around the
neck of the horse, and patted, him on the
bach,and said, "Poor old fellow! 'It was
too bad to lash you so,-when you were doing
your best, and just stopped a moment
to take breath. "
And so the young man soothed the poor
beast, by kind words and soft pats witn his
hand: and then B?id,ta- him, ?Now, good
old horse, see what you can do! Gome,
sir! we have only a few steps more to the
top of the hill. Get up now. _ Show y&u
will do for love what you would not do for
hate."
The horse seemed to know what was said
to him; for he started off at a strong, brisk
pace, and was soon at the top of the hill.
"There, my 'good friend," said the
young man to the driver, "I hope you see
now that love is the best force; that e1yen
beasts will do for yOu, when you are kind,
what they will not do when you are harsh."
John heard all these words, and they set
him to thinking. At last he said to Frank,
"It is a hot day, Frank; and it is not late.
Let us walk through the lane to schbol."
- "No, "John," said Frank, "I will take the
short cut, and will walk just ss fast as you
want me to. So, come on." y
"Frank," said John, "Love isbetter than
hate-r-isn't it ?"

As chance wonld have it, they that day
read in school a fable, two thousand years
old, which I will now tell you.
The North Wind and the Sun had a dispute
as to which could show the more
strength. They agreed that the one that
could strip a man first of his cloak should
be the victor.
First the North Wind tried his strength:
he blew, and blew; with all his might; buff
blow as hard as he could, he could not do
much. The man drew his cloak round him
more and more tight; he would not let it
be torn from him. So at last the North
Wind gave up the tug, and called on the
1 Sun to see what he could do. The Sun
shone out with all his warmth; The man
could not well bear the heat: he soon grew
so warm that he had to take off his cloak;
and so the Sun became the winner in the
trial

THE EXACT TRUTH.
Two young masons were building a brick
wall?the front wall of a high house. One
of them, in placing a brick, discovered that
it wan a little thicker on" one side than on
the other. .
His companion advised him to throw it
out. "It will make your wall untrue, Ben,"
ooi/l Via
I OCViU uv?
"Pooh!" answered Ben, "what difference
will such a trifle as that make ? You're
too particular."
"My mother," replied his companion,
"taught me that 'truth is truth,' and ever
so little an untruth is a lie, and a lie is no
trifle."
"0," said Ben, "that's all very well;
but I am not lying, and have no intention
of doing so."
"Very true; but you make your wall tell
a lie; and I have somewhere read that a lie
in one's work, like a lie in his character,
will show itself sooner or later, and bring
harm, if not ruin."
"I'll risk it, in this case," answered Ben ;
and he worked away, laying more bricks,
and carrying the wall up higher, till the
close of the day, when they quit work and
went home.
The next morning they went to resume
their work, when behold, the lie had wrought
out the result of all lies! The wall getting
a little slant from the untrue brick, had
become more and more untrue as it got
higher, and at last, in the night, had toppled
over, obliging the masons to do all their
work over again.
Just so with ever so little an untruth in
your character?it grows more and more
untrue, if you permit it to remain, till it

THE SABBATH SCHOOL.
"Jerusalem was destroyed," says the
Talmud, "because the instruction of the
young was neglected." And dark as the
fortunes of the South, the past few years,
"a worse thing will come to us, if we are
guilty of neglect in this matter. The religious
training of our children is more than
ever, a manifest and imperative necessity.',
Society for the generation that grows up
under the influence of revolution, is 'like
a vast cauldron, filled with glowing melted
matter,' which may boil over, and, with desolating
tide, sweep away every structure
reared by the patriotism or piety of better
days, unless a timely care and an unwearying
diligence proviae proper channels for
it. The ground swell when the gale has
ceased, is more fatal to heedless craft than
the gale itself, and we might almost say
thatwar and convulsions strike their heaviest
bfcfr'* after they are over?for, then
comes: the growth of manifold misohiefs,
from the seeds sown by negligence,-amid
storms of strife, as to the mental andjspiritual
culture of childhood and youth. With
this conviction, it is incumbent on us to give ]
redoubled attention and effort to these interests.
We must feel, as the Talmhdists ]
felt, (if we may quote them again) when,
they said, "even for the rebuilding Of the
