TWO SUNSETS. Once before a saw the sunset From this roekey hill. Saw the valley <leep and misty, Saw the mountains blue and still, _\nd the golden clounds above them With the joyous sunbeams thrill. But 'twas not so much the sunset Which ensouled the place, As it was the glow and gloryj Beaming from thy rapturned face, Wistfully unconscious of me, Gazing out ward into space, Now once more I see the sunset. (Years have had their flight), See the misty valley darkling. See the mountain's purple light, And I lie sniuiow 01 m? pimoua Of the dusky eagle, Night. lint alone I sec the sunset ! Dearest thou art far. And the clouds grow black and heavy, Shutting out the evening staV, And my heart is full and weary, Crushed as by an iron bar. Though I know that day returneth, And the night is gain, Vet I cannot lift the burden, Of the pressing grief and pain ; Darkness has closed around me, Vain is courage?trust is vain. FLASHES. Bear and Forbear?The bear and his hunter. Not many women arc blacksmiths, but most of them can shoo a hen. Man glories in his strength ; woman glories her hair; butter glories in both. Army literature?Magazans and reviews. "Life is made up of sunshine and shadow." About five shadows to oec sunsutne. As a rule, the less money you leave your children when you die, the more they will have twenty years afterward. "Well, there is something in that," as the man said when he tried to put on his boot with a kitten in it. A doctor was asked to dnnco the Lancers; ho declined, but expressed a willingness to lance the dancers. The kind of flower oftcntsl raised by the mother of unruly boys?The "lady slipper." Nature needs an immense quantity of quills to make a goose with, but a man can make a goose of hit^elf in less than one minute with one quill. Pastures New.?After a boy is tired out, hoeing potatoes, nothing seems to rest him more thau to dig over few yards of green Bward in search of bait. They have kissing fairs in Iowa, and charge ten cents a kiss. They won't let a feller bear on and roll his eyes much either. "At what, age were you married ?" asked she, iuquisitively. But the other lady was equal to the emergency, and quietly responded : "At the parsonage/' With all his treachery and mean tricks, there's one thing the Indian ought to have a little credit for. ile never steals an umbrella. Whatever else may dc sani agaiusr the Chinese, no one can truthfully say that he ever saw one who purled his hair in the middle. "Surely you must be tired, aunty. I can't think how it i? you arc able to work so Ion?." "Lawks ble3S you, my dear, when I onst sits down to it like I'm jnst too lazy to leave off." If you have talents, industry will improve them; if moderate ahilitie?, industry will supply their deficiencies.? Nothing is denied to well directed labor; nothing is ever to be obtained rithout it. "I wish I might die !" said a sentimental maid, as she stood rubbing the bhould of her dress with beuz'.nc. And yet the very next time he caiue, she lei him lay bis head right in tho same spot. WORDS OF WISDOM. Envyshooteth at others aud wound cth herself. The wisest man is not free from a mixture of folly. lJuffon says that genius is ouly great patience. Friends are won by thase who be. lieve in winning. A malicious cuemy is not so bad as a clumsy friend. We arc only really alive when we enjoy the good will of others. ?? A cheerful face is nearly as good tor u patient as healthy weather. Calamity is often a whip to virtue and a spur to a great mind. Men who avoid female society have dull perceptions and gross tastes. Croat natural gifts bring duties to their possessor rather than privileges. To be silent about an injury make* the doer of it more uneasy than complaints. Impatience is a sure proof of inferior strength, und a destroyer of what little there may be. Trust him little who praises all ; him less who censures all ; and him l-:asi who is indifferent about all. Vou need not tell all the truth unto those who have a ri^ht to know it all. Hut let all you tell be the truth. The real gentleman never obtrudes upon others his fiue sense of politeness; indeed, bis great charm, und test of his perfect mauuers is that he assumes nothing. Our customs and habits are like the ruts io roads; tho wheels of life settle into them, and we jog along through the mire because it is too much trouble to get out of them. J to little helpful things and speak helpful words whenever you can. They arc better than pearls or diamonds to strew along the roadside of life. The, will yield a fur more valuable harvest, u you will find after many du\s. Lice on Cattle. There are several kinds of lice which infest farm stock. Some confine themselves wholly to tho horse and ass, others to the ox and cow, while another is particularly troublesome to calves. All the kinds may i be safely treated by rubbing strong wood ashes into the hair, or with sulphur ointment. No parasites can withstand the fumes cf sulphur, and it is very easy to rub down with a quantity of sulphur jn whale oil, or even common lard, is lit killing the lice ort the animals is but a temporary relief, unless all the buildings, sheds and yards where the cattle sleep are also thoroughly cleansed. Scatter wood ashes freely about the stables in dry weather, and use sulphur in the same way, as a few dime's worth wiil c?>ver quite a large surface. Stock cannot thrive when tormented with lice, or other parasites ; but cleanliness is a great eradicator of such enemies. A correspondent advises the same method for killing lice on cattle that is employed by florists for exterminating bugs that infect plants, to wit: Cover the animal with a blanket pinned close around the nose, and smoke thoroughly with tobacco. It will destroy the lice, without the bad effects following the wetting with dceociions or use of grease; a secoud smoking is seldom necessary. lii-Oiul-Chestcd Horses. ''Wind," says an old horseman, "is the grand secret of a fast Good lungs will cover a multitude of faults ; while, on the other hand, perfcctiou of shape and form arc useless when the wind is out. The chest, therefore, in all cases, should be large and capacious. In shape it may vary somewhat, according to the service to which the bowe is to be put. If he is to be kopt for slow work and heavy drawing, the chest may be nearly circular in form, because this shape is one for strength and bulk, to receive and bear up I against the pressure of the collar, ; while at the same lime sufficient room is secured for that expansion of the lungs caused by slow, regular work. Bat if the chest is circular, let it be at the satnc time deep, or else the lungs may bo cramped. A horse with a shallow chest is worth; less for any purpose. The rule, j then, ?s this: For a draught horse, a circular but deep chest; but, as ! you pass through the different de? j grccs of speed, up to the racer and trotter, the chest will increase in depth, compared to its roundness, 1 -i r 1 .: .i . i c i Willi, iui iuc ingiiesi luie ui t>pctMi, you must take a chest as dacp as a greyhound, and at the sa no time not lacking in strength." Vfcitcring Horses. In regard to watering horses imo n mediately after a full feed of grain, a writer in tho SfooJf Journal savs ; "The first effect of this is to largely distend the stomach, and the result may be as serious as if the material used were masticated giain saliva. But should this danger be avoided, matters arc not necessarily left in a better state. The sudden and ex* cessive influx of water is likely to wash much of the contents of the stomach into the intestines before the nitrogenous principles have been digested, and fermentation, extrication of gases, over distension, colics and inflammations result. Even this is not all. The application of any excess of cold water on the mucous inembranees of the stomach and intestines causes vascular congestion and violent muscular contractions, so that all tend to digestive disorders of a dangeroj^ na.; lure." Here you have the matter in n. nnt<*}i pit inil tn :tvniil fniitiiloi ing a horse lie should n?ver be watered beyond a tew quarts, when heated. In fact, it is not safe to give a horse an}7 water when inue!. heated. Some Busy Workers Underground. It is not generally known to what extent we ftr*, indebted to worms fur the productiveness of our gardens and fields. It has been found, ! by a series of experiments car| ried out by a German naturalist, | that the tunnels made by worms ini to the earth arc frequently of much 'service to plants whose roots occupy the channels that have thus been made. The mold of our gaulcns and fields, too, is improved to an almost inconcievablc extent by the burrowing* of this humble insect. Each worm in less than a week passes through its body its own weight in mold, and the soil thus produced is fine and light, an extremely helpful to the growth of plants. AN hen it is remembered that there arc in every acre some 34,000 worms, and that in addition to forming every day about thirty-seven pounds of fine mold, they open up the subsoil and render it fertile, we shall gain some slight conception of our indebtncsft to these upparantlj insignifieent and generally unthought-of little workers. A Cheap Smoke House. Dig a narrow pit from twelve to eighteen inches deep, throwing the earth all out on one side. From near the bottom of this pit dig a trench of sufficent length to hold one or two joints of stovepipe, at such an angle as will bring the end away l'romr the] pit; to the cn<l of this pipe set a common flour barrel or largo cask, as may be needed, anil, having removed both heads, bank up around it with a little earth so that no smoke ean escape at the bottom. Hang the hams, cct., in it, using some round sticks to run through the strings. Putting a cover on the sticks will leave space enough for draught to let the smoke pass freely. Build a smoke fire of corn cobs, damp hard wood or saw dust, in the pit, and vou will have a cheap, safe and efficient smoke house, with very little trouble. Hutter in BrazilThere are four native modes of making butter in the empire of Brazil. The first is by putting the niilk in a common bowl .and beating it with a spoon, as you would an egg. The second by pouring the milk into a bottle, and shaking till the butter appears, when it is removed by breaking ofl" the top of the bottle. mi.. ...\ ,i.? J. ill* mini, ? 111*11; tuu u.ih r n uiuiv extensive, is performed 1?v filling a hido with the milk, which is lustily shaken by an athletic native at each end until butter is produced. The fourth, which is considered to indicate a vast progress over any of tinpreceding methods, consists in dragging the hide or leather vessel, filled with milk, on the ground after a galloping horse until it is supposed the butter is formed. The milk is never strained and the butter never washed. Green Manures. I TU fiorrinnlhirnl ohnmists hftVC I A,,v %'b"v",% fully demonstrated that cow-peas or ' clover ploughed into the soil in a : green state will enrich it, because they contain all the fertilizing elements that our crops need, viz : siU i ica aluuinia, lime, magnesia, oxide of iron, oxide of magnesia, potash, soda, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbonic acid, phosphoric acid, sulphuric acid and chlorine, lied clo~ i vcr contains these in far larger proportions than the cow pea, hut the | latter does contain them and is consequently a most valuable manure. The best agriculturists of the old world and of America place the 'Highest value on green manuring, and many prefer it to animal mailure. i?Farm ami ITome. ! Fkedixo Yoi'nu Stock.?It is often but wrongly considered that j anything is good enough far young stock. On the contrary, nothing can | he too good for growing animals. Coarse, indigestible, and especially musty food, is very injurious to ! them. Jr< disorders the digestion, I and produces diarrhoea, red-water, and impacted rumen ; or paves the ! way for an attack of "black-leg," i or other anthrax disrates, when the I change to green food comes. Plants 1 affected by smut, rust, and other fungoid diseases are, when used as food, most dangerous in their effects, i and should be most carefully avoidI s ! ? '!. Houses.? Ihe breaking up ot | winter brings heavy roads and severe work for teams. When ex' Ira exertion is culled for, it should be done deliberately and with cauI tion. Chains and harness should be strong; sudden jerks are dangerous to the teams, harness and wagons. Above all things a driver should be patient and gentle. Willing animals should never be frottcd by tho obstinacy or stupidity of ignorant hired incn. Just now let the farmer keep a sharp eye on his horses.
