The ! mule was also hurled into eternity. Wake-' field Starkev, although a perfect gentleman j on the street, was a domestic tyrant of the ! deepest dye. Without any provocation what- j ever, he used to beat his wife and lock her Up j in the wardrobe; hence, when she heard of! his death, it was not so much a case of heavy bereavment as it was of migitated affliction. As the engineer of the locomotive was clearly to blame for the accident, it was suggested to the widow that she bring suit for damages. She resolved to do so, and called at the office of the railway company. The proper official happened to be in. The widow had such a clear ca3e against the company that it was deemed advisable to compromise the matter. "Now, madam," said the official, after the widow had thrown back her veil and stated her business^ "we are willing to do what is fair in this matter. There is really no occasion to go to law. It is a delicate subject to discuss; so I think without going into the merits of it, I will tender you a check for $3,000, and you will sign a paper releasing the company from all further demands. The widow started, and asked: "How much ?" "I am authorized to pay you $3,000." "I acceDt " she said, verv much aeitated. The check was handed over, the papers signed, and the widow walked out in the street in a bewildered frame of mind. As she cashed her check, she said to herself confidentially : UI didn't expect to get more than $50. I reckon that railroad fellow didn't know how old the mule was." . It had never occurred to her that she had sustained any loss in the death of her husband. On the other hand, the railroad official said to one of the clerks : "The company is getting off dirt cheap. We usually have to pay $5,000 for running over husbands." It did not occur to him that the widow had sustained any loss whatever in the death of t he valuable mule.?2'exas Si/tings. Too Late.?An agent for a New York grocery bouse has a route in Pennsylvania, and last spring he was greatly put ont to discover that the agent for a Boston house had taken away one of his "best customers. "Did he offer you better figures ?" lie asked in explanation. "No." "Better terms ?" "No." "Goods any better ?" . "No." "Then why did you leave our house ?" "Well, to tell the truth," replied the merchant, "we are both Odd Fellows and ha"e a fraternal feeling, you know." The agent had no more to say, but there was business in his eye as he withdrew. Next time he came over the route he called on the merchant and said : "Well, I am also an Odd Fellow now, and hope to secure your orders again." "Have you joined V" "Yes." "How sorry I am!" sighed the merchant, with a lnnk nf distress nn his face. "Onlv last week the Boston man and myself were bounced from the order for being drunk at a funeral, and now, of course we don't feel like having any thing to do with any member in good standing ! Under the circumstances I couldn't possibly patronize you!"? Wall Street Xeics. Brother Gardner's Religion.?I want a religun, my friends, dat kin stan' temptashun. I want one dat kin meet satan at the doah of de circus an' knock him colder dan a wedge. I want one dat will let me.play euchre an' yet keep me from cheatin'. I want one dat will go wid me to the theatre an' enjoy what am good an' condemn what am bad. I want a religun widont any dyspepsia or liber complaint in it. If it am de sort of a religion dat a dance am gwine to peel off I want to know it in time to look for a kind dat will stick by me frew thick an' thin. A pusson who am afeard dat deminit he begins to smile his religion will begin to crack like new varnish must be in an uncomfortable state o' mind. Let me be tempted. If my religun am strong nuff to resist I shall have de glory of victory. If I am not, let me ax for forgiveness, an' tighten up de bolts an' try again. Be good. Respect de church. Reverence true Christianity an' try an' folier de teachin's ob de good book, but be keerful how you clothe yourselves in armor dat will be shivered by de sound of a fiddle an' fall to de ground at de sight ob a circus perscchun. Let us now assault de reg'lar order of bizness.?Free Pro*#. Extensive Feet.?Ex-Congressman Bill Slemmonds tells of a pair of feet that must have been objects of great regard in their day. v_/uu uay a party or men juuiuuiug dacasuu, the man of big feet, were preparing to attend a political barbecue. It was soon discovered That there was no way of conveying Jackson, as all the vehicles were full. "Let me ride that mule over there ?" asked Jackson. ''There isn't a man in the world that can ride that animal. He'll work to a buggy or plow, but no man can stay on his back." "I'll try him any way," and the determined man instructed several negroes to catch the mule and hold him. The animal plunged and kicked, but finally Jackson secured a seat in the saddle. Every one expected to see him dashed against the ground, but the mule look> ed around, saw the man's feet, and walked peacefully away. He thought he was between a pair of sbafts.?Arkansato Traveler. The Lady Lawyer's Retort.?Judge Tyler, of San Francisco, was engaged in a case where Clara S. Foltz, a lady lawyer, was employed by the opposite side. The Judge was getting the worst of it, and, angrily turning to his fair opponent, remarked in a tone intended to be highly impressive, that "council had better be in other business," and that "a woman's place was at home raising her children." The words were scarcely uttered when Mrs. Foltz, flashing her blue eyes straight into thejudge's florid face, quietly remarked : "A woman had better be engaged in almost any business than in raising such men as vou are. sir." The council drowned ilie subject. Didn't Think IIe had Drank any Water.?A coachman calls upon the doctor to ask what can be the matter with him. "My good man, said the prince erf science, "you've got dropsy- that's what ails you." "Dropsy! "What's that ?" "It's a morbid collection of iluid in the serous cavities within the body, in your case, I take it, hydroperitoneum caused by cirrhosis of the liver, but curable by paracentesis." "I know, but what is it in English?" "You are full of water inside." "Water? Oh, that's nonsense." (Reflects a moment.) "That scoundrel of a saloon-keeper must have watered his liquor, yet he swore to me he didn't." ? ? ? Tower of Imagination.?A good joke is told of a certain Dublin professor?a stickler for ventilation. Being recently put in a room at a hotel with another guest, he asked to raise the window at night, as the air was so close. "I can't raise it," said the guest after working at the window for awhile. "Then knock a pane of glass out," said the profes sor, which was done. After a while the professor got up and broke another; then he was able to sleep. I3ut in the morning he discovered that he had only broken into a bookcase. Xew York Post.

This is an item that rarely enters into the calculations of farmers in estimating the profits of stock raising And yet, as we shall see, it is no inconsiderable Item where fertilizers have to be purchased. The more stock a farmer keeps and keeps well the faster he can improve his land, or the more hay, fodder or grain he consumes on his farm "the more he enii produce, AH that is fed to an animal on the farm that is not carried off must remain on it either as weight in the animal or value in the manure, consequently all that is fed that does not go to make up animal tissue will be sufficient if wisely cared for and judiciously applied to the land, to make it produce as much again, as none of the elements are lost. Changes take place on the earth, constant transformations are going on and have been for ages, and yet the weight of the combined elements on this planet remains unalteied. lwir if 1IIU VtVlgllli ill tllrtblCi 13 1UC oniiir, nu> im.i II be flesh or manure, or in the growing crop that produced the flesh and iho manure. This thought furnishes a basis for calculation. If it takes ten dollars worth of fodder of any kind, the ten dollars worth of fodder will be capable when converted back into the elements that produced it to produce as much more fodder abating what was converted into animal fiber. Xow we know that a horse must consume from three to four tons of bay or its equivalent annually, a cow four-fifths as much, ft sheep one-eighth an much. Allowing onethird of this matter to go toward building up the animals, while two-thirds go into the manure heap?a liberal allowance for waste? that which enters into the manure should he worth to the farmer the half at least of what the hay, fodder, grain, etc., would bring in the market. If the four tons of hay or its equivalent are worth forty dollars, the manure carefully saved and wisely applied would l>e worth twenty dollars, and raise as much hay or feed as twenty dollars. expended in commercial fertilizers. Stock farms are well known to rapidly increase in fertility, partly no doubt on account of the grain bought and fed to the stock, yet largely to the manure which the coarse feed furnished. The grain purchased and the manure made enables the stock grower to increase the productiveness of his land though he annually sells off stock or beef enough to keep himself and family in funds, and yearly increase the credit side of his bank account.? Practical Farmer "Winter Cake of Live Stock.?There are a few general rules for the care of live stock in winter, which are of universal appliactiou: First.?They should lie dry, whether bedded or not. a ctry noor is lar uetier manwei ueuding. Spar or slat tloors, through which urine will "quickly pass, and which give the animal a level standing place, are especially to be advised. A good degree of comfort may be had on such floors, but a full supply of dry litter? straw, leaves, swamp hay, * etc.?certainly makes all kinds of stock more comfortable. Second?SIlelter saves fodder, wnerever lumber can lie easily obtained, to a degree which few practical men are aware of. The warmer the stables are, the better except perhaps for sheep. But with close, warm stables, it is essential that the manure heap should he where it wotfld not contaminate the air, and that there should be perfect ventilation, so arranged as not to cause drafts of air. Third.?As to feed. This should be given with the utmost regularity and uniformity? never more than will lie all eaten up before the next feedingtime. Then the animals have an appetite for their food, so that coarse fodder may be first given, to be followed with better, and by grain in some form, if this be a part of the daily ration. This is no doubt the most economical system, securing the least waste and best digestion of all kinds of iodder used in the ordinary way. Fourth.?Grooming and care of the animals are a most valuable means of keeping them in health as well as of saving feed. The skin of an animal existing in a state of nature is washed by every shower, brushed and carded by every bush, licked by its mates, rubbed by the ground in rolling, and in various ways kept free from accumulations of its own exfoliations, from the stoppage of its pores by sweat, and from its own inherent dirt. A healthy skin means warmth, health, life, and vigor, other things being about right, and we can secure this only by grooming.?Co?. M. C. Wchl, m American Agriculturist for Veccoibcr. Manures and Plowing.?Col. John II. Dent of Georgia, writes to the Southern World. that any farmer who staliles eight heart of horses, and i>ens ten heart of cattle, and owns sheep and hogs in proportion, and will hire an active hand by the year as stock man, and to perforin no other labor but the collecting and heaping of manures, and to litter the lots, etc., will make a sufficiency of manures (provided a proper rotation of crops is observed, as well as to sow clover on your fields) as will enrich a farm of two hundred acres, without having to buy commercial fertilizers. It is as much a part of a farmer's duty to make manure as to make fences, cultivate his crops and house them. This modern mania for fertilizers is only a speculation inaugurated by cotton planters to make heavy yields of cotton; it's one of these manias that will have its day and time, and then die out. Farming proper?that is mixed crops, consisting of corn, wheat, oats, potatoes, peas, grass and cloverenables one to do much for preserving and improving the lands by rotation as by turning under clover and stubble. The advantages are much greater than with the planter who plants only corn and cotton crops ; hence, as above remarked with the amount of stock named, and a hand to attend the collection of manures as a specialty, for a two hundred acre farm bought manures are unnecessary?all required can be made on the farm. The Use of Lemons.?A good deal has been said through the papers about the healthfulness of lemons. The latest advice as howto use them so they will do the most good runs as follows: Most people know the benefit of lemonade before breakfast, but few know how it is more than doubled by taking it at night also. The way to get the better of a bilious system without blue pills or quinine is to take the juice of two or three lemons, as the appetite craves, in as much ice water as makes it pleasant to drink without sugar, before going to bed. In the morning on rising, or at least i half an hour before breakfast, take the juice of i a lemon in a goblet of water. This will clean the system of humors and bile with efficacy, I without any of the weakening effects of calomel or congress water. .People should not irritate the stomach by eating lemons clear: the powerful acid of the juice, which is almost corrosive, infallibly produces imtlamation after awhile, but properly diluted, so that it does not burn or draw the throat, it does its full medicinal work without harm, j and when the stomach is clear of food has abundant opportunity to work the system thoroughly. Fattening Pigs.?It is most profitable to make pork from young pigs. A bushel of corn j will produce more pounds of increase in weight when fed to a pig three months old. The cost j of producing a given weight of pork increas- i es with the age of the animal. If it is desirous j to produce an increase of one ton of pork by j feeding one hundred swine, that increase will. be more cheaply obtained by feeding pigs uu- i der six months of age than by feeding those ! which are a year old, or older ones. The man ! will) auuw? ins yuuiig tu nave ?i ovamjy allowance of food permits the opportunity for [ protitable feeding to slip by and is obliged to j produce bis pork at an increased cost, by feed-! ing when the swine are older. I ^ I Shoeing Horses.?Two evils result from ! shoeing horses, which are never properly | guarded against. The shoes are allowed to stay on too long, and thus the hoof becomes cramped, and the horse liable to become lame. Secondly, by frequently and carelessly pulling ctf shoes, the hoof is liable to become broken, i All this can be avoided by care ind attention, 1 but the better way is to do without shoeing when possible. If the horse has a tough, hard boof, there is no necessity for shoeing, for any kind of farm work. Economy alone would de- j cide against shoeing when there is nothing to be gained by it. Grease may be removed from paper in the following manner: "Warm gradually the. parts containing the grease and extract as inuch as possible of it by applying blotting paper. Apply to the warm paper with a soft,. clean brush some clear, essential oil of turpentine that has been boiled, aud then complete j :he operation by rubbing over a little recti-! led spirits of wine.

CREATION. j In a theological point of view, it Is important to have a clear and distinct notion with : regard to creation. There ate t wo theories respecting the fact. The one may be denominated the Bible theory, the other the anti-Bible theory. These theories, although there arc some striking coincidents, are directly oppo's??d to each other. The Bible doctrine is that God : made the world, calling it into existence by an j exercise of his almighty power. This com! ports with right reason. Surely no one, who believes in the existence of a Supreme Being, | and who believes that he is almighty, will deny ' that lie is able to do anything that is not inj consistent with the holiness of his own nature, i The intidel or anti-Bible theories, are many ! and not consistent with each other. Some of those who reject the Bible account of the crea; tion, hold that there is no such a being as God ; in the Universe. According to this class of ; |>ersons, there is nothing but matter. Spirit, . they say, is nothing but matter highly purified. ; Others hold views the. very opposite of these, j This class hold that there is no such thing as | matter in the Universe. All is spirit. What j we call matter, even in its most crude state, is j only a mental delusion, j "Another class of those who reject the llible | account of creation maintain that the world i was not brought into existence at once, but that it is the result of a long course of development. That certain germs, during countless centuries, have been passing through a state j of evolution, and the result is what we see. All the theories respecting creation, except the account which we have, in the llible, are very foolish. The object of those who hold them seems to be to reason God out of the i Universe. From the llible we learn that God made the world out of nothing. Not that he used nothing as the material out of which to produce the world, but that by the exercise of his almighty power he brought all things into existence?nothing having previously existed. To this doctrine many objections may be raised, but those that cannot be answered are either foolishly absurd, or are not capable of being understood by finite minds. PEKVISH*PEOPLK. It is likely that faults of temper are very often results of defective nervous organization. But if we are to charge on the body all the sins of the mind, ethical science must come to * * i - H - I 1 4.1. 4. -.1. 1 ,1 an eim. 11 i.s un- iunia ui<il miiouiu uiku u;tre of the body. It cannot plead its own negligence of duty, in vindication of its waywardness. Suppose the liver to be torpid, through j excess in eating or drinking, the nerves to Ik? irritable through wilful overstraining, the lungs to be burdened because of impro]>er ventilation of dormitories ; suppose that the laws j of physical health, one of them or all of them, j liave been broken?is the blame-worthiness to be found in the body or in the mind ? There is a sanitary science, closely allied to piety. Sweet-tempered people are in the main healthy. They commit 110 assaults upon the bodily organs. Using and not abusing their bodies, they get for their considerateness an agreeable service from each one of the organs that carry on the various functions of the physical economy. There is then a fundamental basis for good manners, good morals, and good tempers, to be laid in the proper care which may l?e taken of the body as the tenement of the soul. It is not primarily from the weather, but from a lack of physical adjustment to its requirements, made with intelligent carefulness, that so much of ill-humor and of peevishness arise. Without cheerfulness and sweetness, with serenity of disposition, life is but a sharp worriraent with real or imaginary ills. A merry heart doeth good like a medicine. 'The soul's cairn sunshine" brings all flowers of delight into blooin, ripens the fairest fruits, I and sheds divinest lustre upon all the diversij lied scenery of the landscape which the eye of Christian love surveys. While amiability of temper may be of nature, cheerfulness is of j grace. It excludesfretfulhess and murmuring i and repining as being the destroyers of inward | comfort and hindrances to usefulness. How I excellent are right words, from hearts filled i with kindly sympathies and generous compas; sions ! But the peevish temper is as the nettle j that poisons or as the wasp that stings.

Not Bioothy.?We cannot respect the man who does not love his Church, lie seems to lack qualities that are essential to good character. lie is like one who does not care i for his early home, or his own premises, or > family and fireside. To say the easiest thing 1 , possible of him, he must he a person of chilly ' > disiiosif ion. who is incauahle of deen feelinir. and who lives without real affection for any- , thing.

Its workshop, work, fellowship, aims and destiny should all rest 011 his heart, and enter into the feeling that j gives prompting to his life, they should help j make him the man of God, the child of his i Father, that he cl iims to be.
