He has what they call a "stinger," and when he goes out a stinging, boys must keep away from him. I leaned up again one once when he was busy, and I jumped much as a feet; ma had to put mud pie on the place. I hit a wasp nest with a stone once, and the boss wasp chast me clean across the lot so fast when I got over the fence I tore my pants; then pa he spanked me till I wished I had let the old wasp sting me.

Red Jacket and the Mustard.?Red Jacket, the famous Seneca chief, was once invited together with some of his followers to a set dinner at Auburn, New York. Roast beef, turkey and venison were served up at the table. Opposite Red Jacket and his friends sat a white man, who used some mustard on his beef and then pushed it over to the Indians, who had never seen any before. Being an imitative person, Red Jacket put a good half-teaspoonful with a piece of meat into his mouth, but said nothing as the tears came into his eyes. Another Indian then took some also, and asked Red Jacket what made him cry. "Well," he answered, "I was thinking of an Indian who died the other day," and then he turned to his companion who had just eaten the mustard and asked in turn why he cried, too. "Oh !" was the reply, "I was sorry (crying) because you didn't die when your friend did." ? _ ? -?.

Heifer calves, even from cows that are extraordinary milkers, are sold to the butcher in large numbers. Such a waste of resources is unaccountable. Good cows are always in demand, and one probable way to get them is to save the heifer calves. The colts from mares that have shown speed are carefully cared for until they can demonstrate what there is in them. Hut the calf is too often regarded as pretty nearly worthless. It is not certain, of course, that the calf of an extraordinary common cow will have all the merits of the dam. But we can well afford to wait and see. On the other hand, the calf of a common cow may prove much better than the cow, and we can afford to wait and see whether or not that is true. To indulge in the wholesale destruction of heifercalves is a good deal likedes-*i Af troying a crop oeiore it ripens. \n uuc thing we are all cognizant: There is room for an immense number of better cows than we have, anil it may be that there is room upon the farms of some who may read this article. The loss from keeping inferior cows has frequently been referred to, and the subject is being so constantly agitated, that the work of replaciug inferior stock with that which is better is going steadily on. Hence there is a constant demand for good cows, and it would seem to be the part of wisdom to utilize the means that are placed in our hands to supply the demand. No risk is run. If the calf does not prove what it should be as a cow, we can get our money out of it readily enough. We should certainly turn over a new leaf in this matter, and not throw away dollars for a few cents any longer. It is not difficult to raise a calf, and there is money in it in the long run. Suppose wo try it for a few years.?[Western Rural. AROUND THE HOUSE. Little wonder that many farmers' wives wear ojut, grow prematurely old, or die young. There is absolutely nothing attractive for them to look at about the premises. The yard has never been properly graded, and if mowed at all, it is but once a year; generally the horses are turned in it to graze it down. Sprouts have come up from the old frr't trees, branches broken down by the weight of fruit or winds of former years, are hanging with their tops resting on the ground, and burdock and other hardy weeds grow up through the dead branches. A dismal picture, but often true to life. Two things alone will make a yard beautiful if well arranged and cared for, trees and grass; but the trees must not be in stiff, unnatural rows, nor crowded close to the house, and the yard must be well graded, and the grass kept closely cut. . Flowers will usually give a better effect, and be much easier to care for, if planted in a small garden, than if the lawn is cut up in small beds. The garden can be kept clean much easier, as thegrass will be continually encroaching on the small beds. A single square rod will enable you to grow quite a variety of flowers, but several rods ought to be spared for this purpose.

A very iittle work done at the right time will keep it in good order, and if weeds are never allowed to go to seed in it, the labor of caring for it will be less each year. I can not think of any other way in which so small an expenditure of time and money will bring so much pleasure to the wife and education to the children. Try it, and see how much genuine happiness can be had from a little flower garden. [Waldo F. Brown, in Vick's Magazine for July. # ? ? ? Feeding Horses.?The capacity of an ordinary horse's stomach is about 1G quarts, yet many a farmer will not hesitate to ad- ( minister eight quarts of oats at a dose, and then immediately supplement this with all the good fresh hay he can induce the horse to swallow. Such feeding can only ! result one way. The grain, the best part 1 of the horse's feed, is forced out of the stomach before it is half digested, and its J place is taken by the les3 nutritious portion of his diet. A horse treated in this way, if he happen to have a good strong appetite, is apt to be reckoned a "glutton," i and "a horse whose feed appears to do him no good." He is not allowed time to ' digest his food, and of course it can not do i him much good. Through irregular work and overwork his digestive organs in time j become seriously impaired, and what we have quoted above becomes true of him, ( but with proper feeding such a misfortune would never have befallen him. Had he ] been allowed time to digest his grain before the hay was given him, he would have received the full benefit of the eight 1 quarts of oats, and at the proper time the \ hayT would have been useful instead of j detrimental to him. Another serious blunder which farmers often make in feeding their horses, is that of crowding the hayrack or manger full of i hay every time the horse is to be fed. By this practice the hay becomes impregnated 1 with the horse's breath, and consequently i unwholesome and uneatable. Another mistake is to feed a horse heavily when he is fatigued. Most people thiuk that no matter how tired a horse happens to be he may be fed a liberal ( ration of grain, so long as he is not too warm. This is a very grave error, and results in the almost total destruction of many valuable animals every year. A tired horse is no more fit to digest a heavy feed of grain than a warm one.?[Canadian ureeutu I'iXfmiugK. Pumpkins Among Corn.?We raise large fields of pumpkins and pay no attention to them when cultivating corn. If one or more happens to get torn up, there are plenty left, if a good supply of seeds are put in. As to the5 r affecting the growth of corn, I think them a benefit whenever we have a dry summer, for they shade the ground so as to keep it moist, and aid the corn in its growth. I raise just as good corn with pumpkins as without, and better in dry seasons. To forward the growth of spring pigs in the fall, there is nothing better than good, ripe pumpkins. Although they do not increase the milk when fed to cows, they certainly make the milk richer. Then the luxury of pumpkin pies will pay for the raising of the pumpkin. By drying four or five pumpkins in the fall, which is but little trouble, we have pumpkin pies the year round. How toMakk Farming Pay.?"Does farming pay ?" I emphatically say it does. I was born and reared in a city, learned a useful trade and always commanded the highest wages; can now leave the farm and get steady employment at$3 per day, but that does not pay near so well as the farm. To make farming pay it requires as close attention to every detail of the business as is necessary in auy branch of merchandise, and it must bo strictly borne in mind that all food supplies for the family and stock as far as possible must be raised at home, and too, it must be considered that it is not what is consumed at home, but the surplus that is sold, and don't be ashamed to sell anything from an egg up, and don't think the amount too small to take care of, and you will soon see that fanning pays and have a snug amount of cash in hand.?[A. J. Jones, Columbus, Ky. A Good Mka l.?Charles Dickens used to say that he judged the quality of housekeeping by the condition of the casters on the table. If the mustard was freshly ?'In l-" ..i.nnna n.nnt utninlnGQ thoUll. IUtlUC, 11IC HUtl JUIIUIV.M| ??v u.. ver brilliant, and the pepper boxes perpendicular, he expected a good, clean, wellserved meal, "with behavior to match." If, on the contrary, the casters were uncleaned and out of order, he knew what he had to expect and was seldom disappointed. It is, in truth, simple things that denote quality. The test of a good cook is not the cake she makes, nor the mysterious sauces she can concoct, nor the rich pudding she can produce. A good cook is known by her boiled potatoes, her mutton chop, her roasted joint. Such things require personal care and judgment, and are the basis of "a good meal." Don't Dot; thk Cows.?Every one who has anything to do with a cow should learn thoroughly this fact: That every annoyance and thing that excites or frets her takes a proportion from both the amount and richness of her yield, and in just so much takes money from her owner's pocket. A mau who will permit it to be done, much less himself dog the cows home from the pasture, or kick and club them about the barn or yards is not a fit person to own or have charge of cows. It is not only cruel to the defenceless cow, but is ruinous to his own finances, a reason that ought to appeal strongly enough to his avarice to compel proper treatment of his property if humanity will not.?[ Western Farmer. \\Ww\iwW ^airsick 6athcviu(|S. j SOT Trust in God and do right.

A big book is the dictionary. The young people who, during the past few weeks have been hunting out the words for the prize contest, have had a good chance to find out that it is also an interesting one. I low many of-our young people are there who have stopped to give a thought to the simplicity yet vastness of the scope of our language ae exhibited in the dictionary's pages? Open your unabridged and let us lor a moment look at this. Between the pages of this one book, many leaved though it be, is found the complete realm of thought. Kvery idea that has possessed the mind of man is here < abstractly represented by the printed word or sign, and from just these words, strung ? -1 /v??ah into cj i m rvlo on/1 o f J ? UVl'I' 2111U UVCl U^tiiii, liUW oiui|'iu CUJU our ring sentences, the muster minds of the ; world have formed the great mass of writ- i ings. There are upward of 120,000 words ; i in the dictionary, and yet all these words i a;e but the varied combinations of twenty-six letters. Have you ever tried this game ? No? i Well, suppose then you get out your dictionary and commence. The game is well adapted for two persons, although a larger number may as readily play it. One of i you open promiscuously at a page and commence reading off the words. It is the object of your opponent to spell correctly as many words as possible, and also to define or give his idea as to the meaning of the words. Keep on to the end of the page, and when finished let another page be selected and the test applied to you in the same manner.. Whoever gets the greatest number right is, of course, the victor. The only way to realize the sport of this i game is to try it. You will be surprised at the number of words you don't know._ i You will be astonished at the number you do know. You will meet with, probably i on every page, words that you never heard of. This is a fascinating game, and one that will increase your stock of knowledge. 1 Did you ever go searching for the longest word in the language ? Set your friends to work at this and let them bring you the result. Some one has said in answer to this question that the longest word in the language is "smiles," because there i is a mile between the first and last letters. This is witty, but just not to the purpose. The longest word the 8 o'clock man has < been able to find is "disproportionate- ! ness." This contains twenty-one letters, j Another interesting thing of this kind is to find the.largest words whose letters ; will admit of a complete transposition into another word. For instance, the letters comprising the word "peripatetic" are identical with those of "precipitate," while i the letters of "enumeration," are readily ; transposed into "mountaineer." Can you find any similar eleven letter words ? Despite the many patented poetic appliances of the present day, and in spite of ; all that is heard of the men who manufacture rhymes for poets, there are a number of words in our language to get a good rhyme for which a writer is often hard pushed. There are some words to which there seem to be no rhyming words. As , an illustration see if our readers can find a word to ryhme with the comparatively easy one "silver." It has long been suprvoeorl thfirn iu no rlivmp to "month." A good authority says there is a rhyme to it? not "onety onth," or any lisping versions of such words a9 "once," "dunce," etc., but a legitimate word in every day use. Let us see who can guess it. The word "orange" is also mentioned as going begging for rhymes, while the dabbler in amatory verse has ever felt the necessity for more words rhyming with "love." The genial author of the popular "Pinafore," who has been aptly mentioned as the "master of verbal contortion," has felt the restriction of these limitations, and furnishes some facts of his own experience. "Revenge" and "avenge" have no rhyme but "Penge" and "Stonehenge;" "coif" has no rhyme at all. "Starve" has no rhyme except "carve." "Scarf" has no rhyme, as "laugh" and "half" and "calf' certainly are not admissible. "Scalp" has no rhyme but "alp." "False" has no rhyme; "valse" is near it, but the French accent disqualifies it; "wait/." is near it, but the "t" spoils it. "Babe" has no rhyme but "astrolabe," certain proper names excepted. "Gamboge" has no i rhyme but "rogue." "Tube" would be i rhymeless save for "cube" and "jujube." "Fugue" has 110 rhyme at all. "Gulf' rhymes with no English word.

A young wife in Micnigan had just settled in her new home. All seemed fair and promising, for she did not know her husband was a drunkard. But one night he came home at a very late hour, and much the worse for liquor. When he staggered in the house, his wife, who was very much shocked, told him he was sick, and must lie down at once ; and in a moment or two he was comfortable on the sofa, in a drunken sleep. His face was reddish-purple, and, altogether he was a 1 pitiable-looking object. The doctor was sent for in haste, and 1 mustard applied to the patient's feet and hands. When the doctor came and felt his pulse, and examined him, and found that he was only drunk, he said : "He will be all right in the morning." But the wife insisted that he was very sick, and severe remedies must be used. "You must shave his head and apply blisters," she urged, "or I will send for some one who will." The husband's head was accordingly shaved close, and blisters applied. The patient lay all night in a-drunken sleep, and, notwithstanding the blisters were eating into his fiesh, it was not till morning that he began to beat about, disturbed by pain.. About daylight he woke up to the most uncomfortable consciousness of blistered agonies. "What does this mean ?" he said, putting his hand to his bandaged head. ^ "Lie still ; you mustn't stir," suiu nis wife; "you have been sielc." "1 am not sick." "Oh, yes, you are; you have brain fever. We have worked with you all night." "I should think you had," groaned the poor victim. "What's the matter with my feet?" "They are blistered." "Well, I am better now; take oil" the blisters?do," he pleaded piteously. -lie was in a most uncomfortable state? his head covered with sores, and his feet and hands still worse. "Dear," he said, groaning, "If I should ever getsiek in this way again, don't be alarmed and send for a doctor; and, above all, don't blister me again," "Oh, indeed I will! All that saved you was the blisters. And if you have another such spell, I shall be more frightened than ever ; for the tendency is to apoplexy, and from the next attack you are likely to die unles the severest measures are used." lie made no further defense.

It stands high ; white pavements and tall cypresses around; steps lead down to other courts, oncetho Court of the (icntiles, the Court of the Great Brazen Laver, etc., and drives, and grass of em- j erald green, and abundant wild flowers cover the nakedness where Solomon's offerings had enriched the entrance ground ! between the golden gate and the Eastern j j ,irnll r?f t tin tnmriln if self V1 v"x' Inside the mosque is exquisite. A circle of marble pillars enclose the veritable ' rough rock top of Mount Moriah and sup- j port the inner part of the dome, which is I rich in mosaic, worthy to be compared I with that in Santa Maria Maggioro in | Home. i'ortalsand partitions, inlaid witji j tortoise shell, mother of pearl and ivory, divide the little side chapels from the cen- j tral passage way between them and the sacred rock, the scene of Abraham's awful I obedience and of the sacrifices which interpreted to men and made them partakers of the one great sacrifice of the Son of trod. We saw the opening cut in the rock for the escape of the sacrificed blood, ami descending into the excavation below, we found a similar opening communicating with a duct which discharged into a cesspool by the Hrook Ivedron. We crossed j the outer southern court, and passing the | fountain, supplied by the water, as its ! grander predecessor, on the backs of brazen j oxen, we descended beneath the present! mosque, El Aksar, close to the mosque of j Omar, into the very same gallery which < led to the old temple from the South, and , up which our Lord walked again and again ;? when He was here. It is now half filled j! with rubbish and earth, bat the ceiling is I still so high above that we needed to be re- i minded that the ground level is far down i under the rubble. The pillars in single,! solid blocks, the keystone in the roof and i the lintels of long single stones are witnesses of the glory which has departed, i Leaving this gallery, we climbed the city walls of the Golden Gate,and, walking south at the angle of the walls, we descended underground into the stables of Solomon. That they may have been utilized by him, and certainly were by the Crusaders, the halter rings declare; but it seems that the original intention was to raise the level of the valley, and the thick forest of pillars are chiefly for support. TI1K l'DOU MAN'S CHANCE. Here is liurdette's little sermon on the comparative chances of the poor man and the rich : My son, the poor man takes about all the chances, without waiting to have one given him. If you give him any more chances than he takes, he will soon own everything and run tlie Ohio man out of the country. The fact is, we must curtail the poor man's chance a little. We must sit down on him and hold him down, urifLgive inerien man acnati'*". me poor man has had things his own \v.:y too long, lie has crowded the rich man"o it. Hut for the poor man this world would have east anchor (>,000 years ago, and he covered with moss and barnacles to-day, like a United States man-of-war. George Peabody was a boy in a grocery ; Edgar Allan Poe was the son of strolling player; John Adams was the son of a farmer; Benjamin Franklin, the printer, was the son of a tallow-chandler; Gilford, the first editor of the Quarterly Review, was a common sailor; lien Johnson was a bricklayer; the father of Shakespeare couldn't spell and couldn't write his own name-neither can you ; even his illustrious son couldn't spell it twice alike; Robert Burns was a child of poverty, the eldest of seven children, the family of a poor bankrupt; John Milton was the son of a poor Irishman ; Andrew Johnson was a tailor ; Garfield was a boy of all work, too poor even to have a regular trade; Grant was a tanner, Lincoln a keel boatman and common farm hand ; and the Prince of Wales is the son of a queen. It is his misfortune, not his fault; lie couldn't help it, and he can't help it now. But you see, my boy that's all there is of him ; he's just the Prince of Wales, and he's only that because he can't help it. Be thankful, my son, that you wern't born a prince; be glad that you didn't strike twelve the first time. If there is a patch on your knee, and your elbows are glossy, there is some hope for you, but never again let me hear you say that the poor man has no chance. True, a poor farmer, a poor lawyer, a poor doctor, a poor printer, a poor workman of any kind, has no chance; he deserves to have none. The poor man monopolizes about all the chances there are. PutLaban and Jacob in business together anywhere, and in about fourteen years Jacob will not own about four-fifths of the cattle, but he will have married about one-half of his partner's family. Go to, my son, let us give the rich man a chance. Time is Money.?Time well employed produces money or an equivalent gain of some kind. Time idled away or wasted upon some unnecessary or useless labor not only yields no return, but represents a loss of opportunity that cannot be replaced. One may regain any other thing that is squandered save time. Once gone, it is \Ta nrn ImnArfonf gUUU IU1 llll CLCIIUl,y. tllWlU Iiupuii/u.iv lesson can be given to the ya^uig than that on the value of time. It inlfy be passed by unheeded, for on this subject more than any other men seem determined to learn by experience ; but warnings should nevertheless be given, that there may be as early an awakening as may be to the irreparable loss of wasted time. Even the best men arrived at middle age are sure to have regrets for lost opportunities, for wasted time. Looking back with the knowledge gained by experience, they can see how much better they might have ordered their lives if they had made the best possible use of time. Such knowledge cannot be expected in younger men. The timo will come when they, too, will look back with regret; but they should be given early warning from experience of others, and be taught as well as may be that that time is money, not in the vulgar sense, but in that higher one which represents money as merely a symbol of things that are good to have. Speak Kind Words.?Sometimes one has more tlowers piled on his coffin and grave than ho had over had given him in all his life. We want our tlowers while we are living. The dead are past all that. If we woulddo good, let us do it while we are alive, to those who are living. A minister was told by a Mr. K , who lived in a town where he had been pastor a few years before : "Mr. K thinks tho world of you ; and that there is noone whom he ever heard whose preaching he liked so well." And he answered : "I wish he had said so while I was pastor. It would have made my work easier and my life brighter." We sometimes treat strangers more politelv and courteously than wo do our own clear ones who give their lives for us. "Company manners, tableware and linen" are perhaps not necessary all the time, but what is good for strangers is good for our "loved ones at home." Kind words cost nothing. They make us richer if we use them. They bless the world if we employ them. We can bless those around us if we scatter sunshine as wo go. The dog will love you if you treat him kindly. Human hearts will open to you, if you only come in love to them. A Providential Hat.?A woman in West Tennessee went home from church one Sunday impressed by a moving appeal which her pastor had made in behalf of a minister's widow recently left in want with six children. What could she give to relieve the case of suffering? She was herself a widow and poor. She thought intensely over the matter, and that night she prayed over it, hut no way of raising money occurred to her. The next morning when she went out to sweep off her doursten she noticed that the earth on one side had been freshly thrown up and something glittering lay in the dirt, it was a $5 gold piece. During the night a rat had taken it into his head to dig a hole under the step, and one result of his lahor was the resurreC' tiou of that coin. During the war her husband hid his savings, all in gold coin, under those steps, but he had dug up the money after the war was over, and evidently supposed he had recovered the whole. It seemed that he was mistaken. And now his widow was not slow to follow the hint given by the burrowing rat. She moved the stops and after a thorough search succeeded in finding ?20. Regarding this money as a direct gift from heaven she sent it all to thesufrering family.?[Boston Transcript. The Negro Movement in Richmond. The negroes of Richmond, Virginia, have organi/.ed an independent party to which no white man will be admitted, and it is said that hereafter they propose to act in political matters through a council of leaders of their own race. The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph says: "We take it to be an indication that some of the really smart darkies of the late Confederate capital have decided that there is money for themselves in the political dickers of the future if they can only convince the white bosses concerning their ability to deliver the negro vote in 'blocks of five' or any other assortments that may be called for. Such an organization, however, is in some ways an entirely logical outcome of the recent movements in politics, and it has an especial bearing upon the evident disposition of a good many Republicans to get the negro question otf their hands by consenting to negro disfranchisement, provided the Southerners will consent to a proportionate cutting down of the Southern congressional representation." oOYAl fROYAL^i'MJl . |?
