BFAITIFI L TIIIXCS. Beautiful facc9 are those that wear? Ii matters little if ilatk or fair? Whole souled honesty printed there. Beautiful eyes are those that show, Like crystal panes where earth fires grow, Beautiful thoughts that burn below. ? Beautiful lips are those whose words, Leap front the heart like songs of birds, | Yet whose utterance prudence girds. Beautiful bauds ore those that do Work in earnest and brave aud true, Moment by moment, the bng day through. Beautiful feet are those that go On kindly ministries to and fro? Down lowliest ways, if God wills so. Beautiful shoulders are those that bear Ceaseless burdens of homely care, With patient grace aud daily prayer. Beautiful lives arc those that bless, Silent rivers of happiness Whose hidden fountains but few may guess, i Beautiful twilight at set of sun; Beautiful goal, with raco well run; Beautiful rest, with work well done. Beautiful gravas, where grosses creep, Where brown leaves fall, where drifts lio deep, Over worn-out hands?oh, beautiful sleep' WORDS OF WISDOM. Mankind worship success, but think too little of the menus by which it is attained. We could not endure solitude were it not for the powerful companionship of hope, or of some uuseen one. Most ol the shadows that cross our * path through life arc caused by standing in our own light. As riches and favor forsake a man we ' discover him to be a fool; but nobody : could find it out in bis prosperity. There is no man so friendless, but that he can find a fiicnd sincere cuough to tell him disagreeable truths. It may serve as a comfort to us in all j our calamities and afflictions that he that loses anything and gets wisdom by 1 it is a gainer by the loss. Pride is like the beautiful acacia, that lifts its head proudly above its neighbor plants, forgetting that it, too,1 like them, has its root in thodirt. Stories first' heard at a mother's knee! are never wholly forgotten?a little spring that never quite dries up in our journey through scorching years.

That farmer understood human naturo who said: "If you want to keen your boy at home, don't bear too hard ' on the grindstone when he turns the crank.'' One beautiful trait in a woman's, character is her invariable readiness to soothe her husbtnd's temperament, even if she has to do it with an aching heart. Great men leave two different impressions of themselves on their contemporaries?the one the result of their pub-1 lie career, the other of their private life. A gentleman who keeps a store in i Wheeling, W. Ya., will not sell an article of any kind to a cross-eyed man nor to a man who wears It is hat <>u the side of his head. If he leaves his hotue to go to his place of business and meets a cross-eyed man, he will retain home, take off Lis hat and coat, and remain in tLc house a considerable time. vr iuurv A' Mstsn Strong butter?an old livery italic , goat.

Some husbands, it is said, write "W. 1'." in tie corners of their letters, which meaus '-wife permitting." When you have a fellow down and be cries out lor an armistice there is danger that he wants to get up and try it again. "What is wisdom?" asked a teacher of a class of small girls. A bright-eyed . little creature arose and answered: "Information of the brain." Josic Fowler, of New Haven, snuff's candles and cores apples with a revolver.; The young men are exceedingly respectful in their attentions to her. Dancing is lovely?for children, hut a man bobbing up anu down, ana ma perspiration streaming from his face, is u pitiable object. A man who attended a nitro glyce-: rinc explosion said, after war Js, that his first impression was that his mother inlow was arguing with him. ' I wonder what makes my eyes bo weak," said a rop to a gentleman. ' Tl.ey arc in a weak place," responded the gentleman. i The fool killer could assemble in almost any Ohio village and knock at least a dozen i'nsidential candidates in the head without going out of town. | A young thief, who was charged with ? picking pockets, demurred to the indictment beeuuse he had never 'zactly picked them, lie always took them as they came. The latest and wickedest on dit about the clubs is to the effect that a i married lady in this city, well known in society, but name not given, has re- ~ cently fallen in love with her husband. A stick of word loaded with gunpowder, chnrged by a farmer whose pile was too often visited by thieves, exploded in the stove of tho Congregational Church at Jiellvue, Ohio, recently, much to the confer nation of (he people and tbi scandal eff tire cknermr, | Suffering From Cramps. These most terrible of pains arise from the veins being so full of blood that they swell out, press against the large nerves, and thus impede the' circulation of the vital fluid. In smaller nerves the distension pro" duces neuralgia, which is literally "nerve-ache." The cause of this unusual fullness of the vein is, that it cannot flow by nature's ordinary | agencies. In proportion as it is! thick, it is cold, and this abnormal state is indicated by the feebleness of the pulse. In cholera patients it is very marked, and exists days ar.d weeks before the attack. The following is a simple method of treatment: When a person is attacked with cramp, get some hot water quietly and expeditiously (for noise and exclamations of grief and alarm still i further disturb the nervous cqilib" riux); put the sufferer in the water! as completely as possible, and thus heat is imparted to the blood, which i sends it coursing along the veins,1 and the pain is gone. While the water is in preparation, rub the cramped part very briskly with the hand or a woolen flannel, with your mouth shut. But why k->ep the mouth shut ? You can rub harder, faster and more efficiently, beside it saves the sufferer from meaningless and agonizing inquiries. A man in pain docs not want to be talked to ?he wants relief, not words. If all could know, as physicians do, the inr cstimablo value of quiet composure, and the confident air on the part of one who attempts to aid a sufferer, it would be practiced with cca elcss assiduity by the considerate and the humane. Fish Culture. American enterprise and industry arc continually discovering and developing new channels of industry to increase the income or add to the comfort of the people. Of all tlie new fields , of enterprise, however,. that liave opened to our people in tl'c last ten 3*ears, none promises greater results than the artificial propagation and culture of fish. A few men at the North have been experimenting in this branch of do-1 mcstic industry (I use the phrase advisedly) for a number of years, i and have succeeded in reducing it to a science so simple and plain that any one of ordinary intelligence can comprehond it, and it seems that it would require only a very reasonable amount of skill to practice its manipulations, and carry out successfully its most intricate detail*. Any one possessing water privileges of almost any kind can engage in the cultivation of some variety of the finny tribe. An ah most stagnant pond may be stocked with catfish ; and it only icquires a spring witli an even timperature, " n % 1 1 1!' ami a liow oi auout one ami a nan inclies square, to raise an abundance of the finest trout for family use.?Planter and Fanner. The National Timber Law. The requirements of an act of, Congress giving land to settlers who should plant a certain proportion in timber, have been modified hv an amendment reducing the number of acres to be planted. The original law required that forty acres should be planted to entitle a settler to a quarter section. The amount wasi so great that the law was inoper.v I tive, and has been amended us follows : Every person who plants, protects, and keeps in a healthy; growing condition for ten vcars, ten O 13 ' * ' acres of timber, the trees thereon not being more than four feet apart each way, on any quarter section of any of the public lands, shall he entitled to a patent for the whole of such quarter section, at the expiration of ten years, on making proof of such fact by not less than two creditable witnesses; provided, that only one quarter in any section shall be thus granted." This would ' require the planting of 25,000 trees. Within ten years these would need thinning, und there should he pro* vision lor that. The Cost of Fencing. The ftnccs in the United States are reported to he worth $1,800,000,000, or $M5 per head for each inhabitant. The expenses necessary to keep them good is at least $100,000,000. Major lirisbane, of the United States army, estimates the destruction of timber in the United States at $5,500,000 acres, and that nno.liulf fliis immensearea is rcouired for fencing alone. However true this may be, ami we cannot help regarding it as a wild statement, it is nevertheless true that fencing is one of the most expensive items the farmer lias to deal with. The increasing scarcity of timber in the, West has caused the total abolish" mer.t of fences over large areas. Barbed wire, in its various forms for fencing, now constitutes an immense' and constantly increasing business. y a It seems to be the best substitute yet found for either post-and-rail or board fences. The Age of Wonders. A large establishment lias been . T opened in St. Louis for drying eggs, and is operated bv huudruvs of thousands of dozens. The eggs, after being carefully inspected by light, uretbrtfwn Into an itmntmrt receptacle, whore tl.cy arc broken,! and by centrifugal operation the j white and yolk arc separated from i the shells, very much as liquid honey is taken from the con.b. The liquid is then dried by heat by a patent process, and the dried a?ticlo, which resembles brown sugar, is put in barrels and is ready for transportation. The dried article lias been taken twice across the Equator in ships and then made into omelet, and compare with omelets made from fresh eggs in the same mariner, cr ' j and the best judges could not dc-j tect the difference between ihcm.J Is not this am age of wonders?!

They arc suddenly taken blind and staggering, and in a short time go into spasms, especially if it be a sever case of the disease. These spasms or fits last but a short time only, but recur at short intervals, and in cue of these fits the sufferer usually dies. This disease makes sure havoc among swine < where it prevails, and no farmer should be ignorant of a remedy to apply when needed. Cold water frequently dashed on the head, the administration of cathartics and injections of turpentine and oil is one kind of treatment recommended, and ! we know of tio better. Hut in treat-, ing the disease particular attention j must bo given to the dieting of the o # t # n animals?a mild, laxitive diet being | required forsotr.e time after the sub-! jeet begins to recover and regains) an appetite for food.?Factory and \ Farm.

He then used it as a1 gargle, and in ten minutes his patient was out of danger. The garP O gle was also swallowed, not spit out. When the disease was so far advanced that the patient could not, use the gargle, lie blew some dr* sulphur through the t^u'ill into the throat, and when the fungus had shrunk, used the gargle; or, pre-1 vious to using the gargle, hp put some sulphur on a live coal, and mado the patient inhale the vapor. ; WEBSTER'S Series of Dictionaries! i I Unabridged, r.oval Quarto Illustrated Edition, 18-10 pages, 3,000 illuslions, $12 00 'ftio Itoyal Octavo, sheep, marbled edges, 5 00 Nation il Pictorial Dictionary 1 i.O j Counting House and Family Dictionary. 3 50 Now University Dictionary, 3 00' New Academy Dictionary 2 50 | High School Dictionary, 1 2."> j Common School Dictionary 00 Primary School Dictionary 00 \ Pocket Dictionary, 75c. to 1 00 j Popular School Hooks.
