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

As a rule, the less money you leave

"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

Whatever else may dc sani agaiusr
the Chinese, no one can truthfully say

"Surely you must be tired, aunty.
I can't think how it i? you arc able to
work so Ion?." "Lawks ble3S you, my

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

WORDS OF WISDOM.

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.

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

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

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

to get out of them.

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.
