IpMBOMU* Jftpattttfttt HE THIRSTED FOB WORK. A robust tramp called at a house /or something to eat, averring that he had not tasted food this week. "Why don't you go to work ?" asked the lady to whom he preferred his petition. "Work!" he ejaculated. "Work! And what have I been doing ever since the middle of May but hunting work!" Who will give me work ? When did I ever refuse to work V' "Well," Baid the woman, "I guess I can give you some employment. What can you doT "Anything," he shouted, in a kind of deliriious joy. "Anything that any man can do. I'm sick for something to fly at. "Why, only yesterday, I worked all day, carrying water in an old sieve from Flint river and emDty ing it into the Mississippi, just because I was so tired of having nothing to do; that I had to work at something or I would have gone ravin' crazy. I'll do anything, from cleaning a house to building a steamboat. Jest give me work, ma'am, and you'll never hear me ask for bread agin." The lady was pleased at the willingness and anxiety of this industrious man to do something, and she led him to the wood pile. "Here," she said, "you can saw and split this wood, and if you are a good, industrious worker, I will find work for you all winter." "Well, now," said the tramp, while a look of disappointment stole over his face, "that's just my luck. Only three dayB ago I was pullin' a blind cow out of a well for a poor widow woman who had notbin' in the world but that cow to support her, an' I spraint my right wrist till I hain't been able to lift a pound with it since. You kin jest put your hand on it now and feel it throb, it's so painful and inflamed. I could jest cry of disappointment, but, it's a Bible fact, ma'am, that I couldn't lift that axe above my head if I died fur it, and I'd jest as lief let you pull my arm out by the roots as try to pull that saw through a lath. Jest set me at something I kin do, though, if you want to see tne aust ny. "Very well," said the lady; "then you can ta$te these flower beds, which have been very much neglected, and weed them very carefully for me. You can do that with your well hand, but-I want you to be very particular with them, and get them very clean, and not injure any of the plants, for they are all very choice and and I am very proud of them." The look of disappointment that had been chased away from the industrious man's face when he saw a prospect for something else to do, came back deeper than ever as the lady described the new job, and when she concluded, he had to remain quiet for a moment before he could control his emotion sufficiently *fc> speak. "If I ain't the most onfortnit man in Arneriky," he sighed. "I'm jest dyin' for work, crazy to get somethin' to do, and I'm blocked out of work at every turn. I jest love to work among flowers and dig in the ground, but I never dassent do it, fur I'm jest blue ruin among the posies. Nobody ever cared to teach me anythin' about flowers, and its a gospel truth, ma'am, I can't tell a violet from a sonflowerLnor a red rose from a dog fennel. Last place I tried to get work at, toe woman of the house set me to work weedin' the garden, an* I worked about a oouple of hours, montsrous glad to get work, now you bet, an' I polled up every last livin' green thing in that yard. Hope I may die ef I didn't. Pulled up all the grass, every blade of it. Fact. Pulled up a vine wurth seventy-five dollars, had roots reachin' cl'ar under the cellar and into the cistern, and I yanked 'em right up, every fibre of'em. Woman was so heart broke when she come out and see the yard just as bare as the floor of a brick yard, that they had to put her to bed. Bible troth, they did, ma;am; and I had to work for that house three months for nothin' and find my board to pay for damages I done. Hope to die ef I didn't. Jest gimme suthin' I kin do, I'll show you what work is, but I wouldn't dare to go foolin, around no flowers. You've got a kind heart, ma'am, gimme some work ; don't send a disparin' man away hungry for work." "Well," said the lady, "you can beat my carpets for me. They have just been taken up, and you can beat them thoroughly, and by the time they are done I will have something else ready for you." The man made a gesture of despair, and sat down on the ground the pioture of abject helplessness and disappointed aspirations. "Look at me, he exclaimed. "What is goin' to become o'me ? Did you ever see a man so down in luck like me? I tell you, ma'am, you must give me somethin' I can do. I wouldn't no more dare for to tech them carpets than nothin' in the world. I'd tear em to pieces. I'm an awful hard hitter, an' the last time I beat any carpets was for a woman out at Creston, and I just welted them carpets into strings and carpet rags. I couldn't help it. I couldn't hold in my strength. I'm tbo glad to get to work, that's the trouble with me, ma'am; it's a Bible fact. I'll beat them carpets if you say so, but I won't be responsible for 'em; no makin' me work for nothin' fur five or six weeks for tearin' 'em into slits, yer know. I'll go at 'em if you'll say the word and take the responsibility, but the fact is, I'm too hard a worker to go foolin' around carpets, that's just what I am." The lady excused the energetic worker from ??2?? ? ^ mno nnnvla/] nrk Q f fn gUlUg ttl I.UC cai JJCU3, uui> not JJUU.IVU nu?? lu set him at. Finally she asked him what there was he would like to do and could do with safety to himself and the work. "Well, now," he said, "that's considerit in ye. That's real considerit, and I'll take ahold and do something that'll give ye the wuth of yer money, ana won't give me no chance to destroy nothin' by workin' too hard at it. If ye'll jest kindly fetch me out a rockin' chair, I'll set down in the shade and keep the cows from liftin' the latch of the front gate and gettin' into the yard. An I'll do it well and only charge you reasonable for it; fur the fact is, I'm so dead crazy fur work that it iBn't big pay I wan't so much as a steady job." And, when he was rejected and sent forth, jobless and breakfastless, to wander up and down the cold and unfeeling world in search of work, he cast stones at the house and said, in dejected tones? "There, now; that's just the way. They call us a bad lot, and say we're lazy, and thieves, and wont work, when a feller is just crazy to work, and nobody wont give him nary job that he kin do. Wont work! Land alive, they wont give us work; an' when we want to, an' try to, they wont give us work. There ain't a man in Ameriky that 'ud work as hard an' aG stiddy as I would if they'd gim me a chance." Very Hard to Please.?There is a gentleman in this city who has acquired the habit of going to a frnit-stand, and after pricing the melons, etc., and eating about five cents worth of peanuts, he objects to the price and doee not buy. Yesterday the fruit man made up his mind to sell him something, anyhow. "How much are tnese melons V' inquired the peanut fiend. "Five cents apiece." "Can I pick my melon?" "Take tne biggest you can find." "Let me plug 'em to find a ripe one ?" "Here's a knife; split 'em wide open. "Don't you throw in a banana ?" "Always." "Whew ! If I had anyway of getting the melon home, I believe I'd invest." "Just say the word, and I'll send you both home in a new hacji, and give you ninety days to pay fortjie^melon." "Melons ^Hpping to be cheaper after a while, but^^Bchromo suits I'll take the melon. in it is there ? Let me see the chromo fr "What chromo?" "Why! you ought to be able to throw in ^^S^chromo if you mean business! I always gel ^^ chromo for cash transactions like that! J^vcan't trade." And he picked up a ?*^^peanuts and sauntered out. and Jimiifo Diseases of Horses.?The diseases t which the horse is liable are very numerous but ninety in every hundred are caused neglect, and are, therefore, readily prevents by giving animals proper care. As the cold rainy season approaches in the Northeri States, we shall begin to hear of "greas; heel," a disease caused by neglect in remov icg mud and snow from the legs and fee when the animal is returned to the sjabk after driving, or permitting it to stand in it own filth. No horse ever had what is term ed "greasy," or sore heels, that was properl; groomed and given a dry clean stall. Th same may be said of that loathsome diseas known as "thrush," for it is merely decay o the frog and hoof through standing in we soil or in animal excrement. Mange am other diseases of the Bkin usually originate ii filthy stables, and although they may b transmitted to animals well cared for, stil there is little danger of it except througl actual contact. Ringbone, spavin and die eases of the limbs, are usually caused b strains, hard driving, or by accident. Foun der, heaves, roaring and similar diseases ar produced by hard driving, feeding, or water ing when the animal is very warm, or givinj musty, poor food when in the stable. We might extend the list of diseases al fecting horses, and also name those most prev alent among cows in winter, and even d< scend to the poultry yard for subjects requi ring a word at this season; but a hint in r< gard to this matter should be sufficient for an one who has the least desire to contribute t the comfort of the animals under his charge or obtain a fair remuneration for the labo and food expended upon them. Spirits of Ammonia.?There is no tel; ing what a thing will do till you try it. knew ammonia, diluted in water, could restor rusty silks and clean coat collars, but when got a green spot on the carpet, I tried half dozen other things before I thought of that and that is just what did the work effectuallj I put a teaspoonful into about a teacupful c hot water, took a cloth and wet the Bpot thoi oughly, just rubbing it slightly, and the ugl; spot was gone. It is splendid for cleanin your silver; it makes things as bright as net without any expenditure of strength ; and fo looking glasses and windows it is the best c all; and one day when I was tired and m dish cloths looked rather gray, I turned afei drops of ammonia into the water and jubbe '' -"J T ?r.nnsJ it a/ttwi lit? ft fiharir lutjiu uul, auu x iuuuu ? and I shall be sure to do so again some daj I suppose housewives have a perfect right t experiment and see what results they can pre duce; and if they are not on as large a scale a the farmers try, they are just as important t us, and they make our work light and bright er too. Now, I do not believe in luxuriatinj in a good thing all alone, and I hope all th house-keepers will send and get a ten-ceu bottle of spirits of ammonia and commence series of chemical experiments and see wha they can accomplish with it. Take the boyf jackets, the girls' dresses, and when you hav cleaned everything else, put a few drops ii some soft water and wash the little folks'head; and report the results.?By a Farmer's Wift in Country Gentleman. What it Pays to do.?It pays to manag the farm with economy, and this is brough about, not so much by economizing in on important particular as in many. It will pa to keep the fence corners clean, so that grae will grow in them, and so that your neighbo will not take offense because of the thistle an< other foul seeds that you allow to mature an find their way into his cleanly kept fields. 1 will pay to build cheap gates, as they wil save enough valuable time in tne Dusy seaso of the year to pay the expenses of construci ing them many times ovor.

It will pa to make home so attractive that it will alwaj be pleasant for a man to think over his boj hood days. A pleasant home will make bel ter boys and better men. It will pay to plan and cultivate fruit trees of all kinds. Plent of good fruit promotes health and longevity Finally, it will pay to do all these things w have enumerated, and a hundred others tha are now neglected, which many of us woul do if we would take time to think. Regularity in Feeding.?It is ver comfortable in cold weather to sit by a wart fire. Many who have the care of stock die like to leave warm quarters, and cling to th fire-place, letting half-hour after half-hou pass by, while the hungry stock are shiverin and hungering for food and water. In thu waiting for food and water, an animal lose flesh rapidly. Brutes are the best time keep ere in the world. They know the very mir ute their food should be supplied, and are dii appointed if it does not come. The goo stock breeder, therefore, should Bee that rep ularity and promptness prevail in the car and management of stock. Their variou wants should have attention at the very mir ute daily. If hired men will not be promp in taking care of stock, if they don't sympr thize with brutes in winter, they ought to b . discharged and more humane men employe in their places. The poor brutes do suffer s< verely in winter. Even in warm barns an stables they can hardly keep warm in col weather; but if left out of doors, exposed t storms and cold, their sufferings are intensi and they should be fed with the regularity ( clock work, and fed all they can eat, an they will require at least one-third more foo to keep up animal heat than they would i kept in the stable. All slock should hav ' ' T' 1 A- I Ia J A- iL sneuer. it is cruei 10 leave it eipueeu iu w; rigors of winter without shelter. How the Chinese Cook Rice.?The e( | itor of the American Grocer states that b i has recently paid a visit to the Chinese col( , ny of shoemakers, at North Adams, Massi chusetts, and has obtained from them the Ch ' nese method of cooking rice. The process < ! boiling one pound of rice is as follows: Take a clean stew-pan, with a close fittin , top, then take a clean piece of white muslit large enough to cover over the top of tb pan and hang down inside nearly to, but n< ; in contact with, the bottom. Irfto the sack s formed place the rice, pour over it two cuj full of water, and nut the too of the stew pa on, so as to hold up the mualin bag ioside an fit tight all round. Place the pan on a- slo fire, and the steam generated froir. the wate will cook the rice. Each grain, it is state< will come out of the boiler as dry and distim as if just taken from the hull. More watc may be poured in if necessary, but only sufl cient to keep up the steam until the rice cooked. The pan must not be heated so h< as to cause the steam to blow off the lid. , Age of Eggs.?To determine the age < eggs, dissolve about 4 ounces of common sa in a quart of pure water, and then immeri ; the egg. If it is one day old, it will descen .to the bottom of the vessel; but if 3 days, , will float in the liquid. If more than 5 da; i old, it will come to the surface and proje< i above in proportion to its increased age.?Lo\ don Live Stock Journal. ? ? < i Cooks will find that by soaking sa ; pork, salt beef, or sliced bacon, a few hou !; in milk (instead of water) rinsing it off wil i j cold water and wiping it with a dry cloth b I fore cooking, the flavor will be much improve . fMittg to* tb* MM. 0 CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT 1.ATBLAN. f [Original.] 3 * BEGINNING TO PRAY. ' There are multitudes of the human family fi ife ^ who- live prayerless lifls. No insignificant .. number of these prayerless men and women t are dignified with the honorable name of } Christians. However orderly their lives may 3 be in appearance, there is still something " | wrong. All such persons have reason to fear g I tnfti wnuat mcj uavo a uauiq mi hvc) vu^j, ??v e still dead in trespasses and sins. The first f thing that Paul did after his conversion, was it to pray; and he exhorts the people of God 3 to pray without ceasing. The evidence that a we are living lives of faith upon the Son of ? God, is that we are living lives of prayer. Prayer and faith are never separated. There are, no doubt, many individuals y who, in some sense, may be said to desire to i- live praying lives; but the difficulty is in e making a beginning. Their surroundings, they think, are such that they never can com= mence to do what their good sense and their P conscience teaches them they ought to do. r. Were all the facts and incidents written >! which prompted men to undertake the bus iness of serving God in earnest, they would ?- make a thrillingly interesting chapter in the y history of th^ world. ? The following amusing, but instructive, an^ ecdote, is told concerning the Rev. Thomas Clark, who came to America in the year 1764. Like all the ministers of the gospel during 1- the early part of the last centoijr, Mr. Clark I was called upon to do a large amount of mise sionary work. His field .embraced several * States. His home was, at the time of which * we are speaking, Salem, New York ; but he made preaching tours through several of the ,f other States. At one time, whilst missiona - ting in the State of Vermont, he fell in comY pany with a man with whom he rode for the S greater part of the day. At last, coming to " the forks of the road, they bade each other ^ adieu and parted. . 5, . y After having gone some distance, Mr. v Clark began to call upon the stranger, with d whom he had just parted, to come back. This l? request was granted. When the stranger ' came back, Mr. Clark remarked to him se* h riously, "My dear sir, we have been riding B together and enjoying each other's conversao tion. Now, Bir, we may never meet each otber again, and we should not part without ? prayer." The stranger made no objection, e although he thought the whole thing uncalled * for. Both dismounted, and having kneeled t down on the side of the road, Mr. Clark of)' fered up a very fervent prayer for himself - mm/1 o+rannar TTatrinrr onn(>ll)Hpf1 Vila C auu liug OViiaugWii vwuv?mviw?* mmm w prayer, the stranger thought the thing would '?' end here ; but such was not the case. Mr. J' Clark insisted that the stranger would offer up a prayer. "Ob," said he, "I can not pray." e Clark insisted. The stranger pleaded as an t excuse that he had never prayed in his life, e Clark replied that if that were the case, it y was time he was making a beginning. To 18 get rid of Mr. Clark, the stranger kneeled j" down and made this prayer: "O Lord, thou ^ knowest I cannot pray at all." Mr. Clark I encouraged him by saying, "That was a very II good beginning; only persevere and you will n do very well." The two parted, and the thing faded from 3 the memory df Mr. Clark. Not so with the I stranger. The impression made upon his mind was deep and lasting. Several years 8 afterwards a minister of the gospel wa. trav3, eling through the State of Virginia, and stope ped to spend the night. Finding the family i t j--* i " witn wnom ne was lodging to db pious, rengum ^ was introduced as the subject of conversation. e In the course of the conversation the above Q anecdote was related, and the man declared e himself to be the man whom the Rev. ThomJ as Clark had induced to pray his first prayer 8 on the side of the public highway. There are, probably, multitudes of persons t who would lead very different lives if they y would only begin to pray. So long as they r. neglect to pray, they will ever feel that they e are neglecting to discharge a known duty, and, consequently, will feel badly. The fatal^ ist may say, "it is useless to pray; God is unchangeable." To this the pious man can y reply, I know by happy experience that it n is good to draw near to God in prayer. "I j- sought the Lord, and he heard me, and dee livered me from all my fears. This poor man r cried and the Lord heard him and saved him S out of all his troubles." is : is SIGNS OP SPIRITUAL DECLINE. 1 Wk?n w/Mi ora onopeo trt rolifrinna pnn.
