Could have no highe ambition you will admit. - A misanthrope of ample means deter mined to end his life by drowning himself Going to the banks of the canal, found tht time not favorable for the purpose, a num her of persons' being in the vicinity, and day light still present. He concluded to wall along the towpath until it was dark. Whih doin so, he heard pitcous cries issuing from the oor of a hovel noar by, and uneon. soiously walked over to the place, and found a poor family consisting of a mother sur rounded by several children, who told him of their sufferings for food. He took from his pocket his wallet and handed it to the woman, teasoning with himself that he would not need it. The grateful thanks and praises that he received from the recipienta of his bounty awoke emotion in his breast, of such a pleasurable chacacter, that lie changed his suicidal intent, and decided to live for others. His future life became re plete with good deeds-many a dark home and heart were made bright by his presence. Well, my a>pearance in those columns springs simply from a desire on the part o? those I represent, to benefit your news-do. vouring race. My province is to help you, your friends, your relations, a'e, even your mother-hn-lawu, if that interesting lady be not already far beyond the pale of good in-lu ences.

This remedy is a medicine, not a beverage. and is to be taken according to full and per feetly plain directions accompanying each bottle. It is specitio, but not a patent med icino, and contains no vilo narcotics or viler liquor. It is a prescription used for years by the well-known physician, Dr. R. V. Pierce. of Buffalo, N. Y., whose name is a household word in innumerable homes all over our own and foreign lands. The Golden Medical Discovery is prepared and o1fered to the public by the World's Dispon sary Medical Association, a body corporate, existing by and under the laws of the State of New York; its president is Dr. Pierce, the ,reat specialist in chronio diseases. The doctor ias devoted the beat yours of a very busy and wonderfully successful life to the relief and cure of his suffering follow mon aid at a time when high political honors lay broadly open before him, Dr. Pierce re signed his seat in the Congress of the United States, simply from a sense of duty toward others.

The Golden Medical Discovery is a pre. seription of a physician with a wide-awake - reputation and an honorable position to a maintain. It is far beneath the dignity of r Dr. Pierce to lend his name to any vile nos trum, or catch-penny preparation, whereby the public mpy be deceived. Having used his t Discovery for many years in his un precedeuted private practice, he is convinced it is indeed a specific in diseases mentioned. Desiring this marvelous cure shall benefit not only those with whom he comes person ally in contact, but that all mankind may be embraced in his grand plan for the ameliora tion of human suffering, the doctor, through the World's Dispensary Medical Association, earnestly and most confidently recommends his Golden Medical Discovery to the public at large assured the most skeptical will be thoroughly convinced of its worth by a trial of a single bottle. In stubborn, or long-seated affections, and where the bowels are very costive, the gentle though certain action of the Discovery, will be more rapid.and satisfactoryby supploment ing Dr. Pierce's Pleasant Purgative Pellets in small daily doses of one or two. These lls (the original and only genuine Little Liver Pills) are purely vegetable, sugar coated, and very small, yet by the peculiar process used in their preparation, they pos sess the strength and virtue of larger and unpalatable pills. Pleasant Purgative Pellets will speedily remove all ill and dis agreeable effects arising from over-eating or drinking, and are recommended as a ca thartic at all times, being perfectly safe, sure and unattended by the griping pains usually experienced in the use of purgatives less carefully prepared. Promytly resorted to, these little Pellets will rad cally cure indi gestion biliousness and siok-headache, thus saving the patient from serious and lingering disorders. Dr. Pierce, the President of the World's Dispensary and his faculty of twelve skilled spooialsts, can be consulted by letter or in person in any ease of chronic diseaso requiring either medical or surgical treatment free of charge.

AGRICULTURE. CURn FOn HonesE PULLINO AT THE HALTEn.-"For the benefit of such of our readees as may desirrl to make use of it, a method is suggested of breaking n horse of that common and very un l)leasant habit of pulling at the halter, which has been thoroughly tested and found to work admirably. If you have a herse that is addicted to this habit, follow the instructions herewith given, aind a complete cure wvill soon follow. Get a strong, half inch cord 22 feet in length; put the center under the tail like a crouper; twist them a fewv times as you bring them for ward over the back pass forwvard on each side of the body, then pamss them forwvard through the haltor below the jaw. 'Pie lirmly to a tree, post or stall, and excite thme animal b)y any means that will cause him to puli, until the habit is oyercomo. You may eyen whip him aoross thme nose keenly until there is perfect submission which will hot rtjquire long. Hitch in this way for a few dlays, or so long as there is any p)redispositioni to pull oni the halter. CLovEn FEmnTiiznt. -Two or even three crops of small grain can be raised in succession to advantage on any piece of land p)rovided clover is sown with ovi ry cro'p of small grain. Thou a crop of clover is turned under for every crop of small grain except the first,and upon this hyp.thiesis when a farmer wants to enrich his land or any one or more pieces, Jet him seed the land with sniali g,rain for twvo or three years in succes sion, always sowing clover in theospring and ploughing in tihe fall, and then if lie chooses to put the land in corn lie can do so for one, or even two seasons, and then put it back in small grain and clover, After a field has had clover sown ini it for six or eight seasons it will seed itself, and after every crop of small grain a crop of clover will spring up from the see(d in theo grQunmd exposed to thme aution of elements by ploughinmg for thme crop of small grain, Another fact wvell known is that a crop of wheat grown on fallow ground is greater and time grain larger thaii that grown on cornm gronid.

Tn'xI best heat for the hot bed is fro.ih horso dung f rdhm a stable where soe ton or more horses tire kept, so thait a load1 of it cani be taken out hot and freblh before it has had time to burni by excessive heating. Such manure can not always be hamd whlen wamnted, a good substitute may be miade by miiximg for est leaves in alternate layers wvithm comn momn cow stable dlung, in a sheltered plhace, until a pile of a cord or two is obtained; if thme weather should be cold, and the material partly froson when it is piled, it will be necessary to pour am few bucketfuls of boiling water upon the heap to star t formientation: when the pile is wvell heated cart it as quickly as possible to the bed, so as to check fermentation as little as potsible. Pr,awr-OnowvNo.-The more freely a plant is growving the more water will it require: and the more it grows tihe more sun andI light will it iieed. In all eases thoste which scom to grow the fastest should be placed nearest thme light. Tihe position for room plants is tIhe south. at. They seem like amimals in their DOME8TIO. To MAS FIENoOLLorrS.-After the dough has risen it may be made into n many ways. By taking off a part and it beating up an egg, and working it in tJ with a little butter, you may have nice h French rolls; just use flour enough to a handle them well, dip your hand in the b flour, and flour round the sides to make o them break apart nicely; make off t< quickly, put close together and allow a no room for them, or any other rolls, to i, run and get out of shape, When nearly done, wipe the tops over with milk with- I out taking them from the stove. Take a a piece of dough the size of a loaf, beat gl two eggs light, half cup of milk, small spoonful of butter, and with the hand f( work altogether in a stiff batter; grease a pan, (a round one is best), pour in an inch and a half thick, and bake in a moderate oven till well done; split and butter; send to tabl"e hot. It should rise twice its original thickness. By ei adding a little more of the above ingre- d dients, with a ou) of sugar, and giving ti it a second rise before baking, you have am a very good plain cake, especially for children. MAKING HAM Gnow.-If the head be d perfectly bald, nothing will ever cause the hair to grow again. If the scalp t be glossy, and no small hairs are dis cernible, the roots or follicles are dead; r and you might as well cause an arm which has been amputated to grow again. However, if small hairs are to be seen, brush well, and bathe the bald si spot three or four times a week with ti cold soft water:-Carbonate of ammonia, hi one drachm; tincture of cantharides, Ia four drachms; bay rum, four ozs.; cas- m for oil, two oza. Some elderly people fe often desire to lkeep their hair from gl turning gray, The following dye will th effedt thie:--Tako the hillle of butter- ca nuts, say about four ounces, and infuse in in a quart of water. Then add half an as ounce of copperas. Apply with a soft lii brush every second or third day. This th preparation is harmless, and I have rea- dc sons for believing so, has never been an published. It is far better than those dyes made of nitrate of silver. FnENCH BREAD. -As a rule the French bread is always sweet and good, and 1 two things contribute in a great degree & to this-that is, the manner and form of baking. They never make a thick loaf; no matter what the size or shape. it is - always thin; and more than two-thirds i crust. They bake their bread until it ri is perfectly cooked. The loaves being r so thin, the heat strikes through them frc very soon after they are placed in the elt oven; hence all the fermentation is da stopped, while in the case of large d loaves fermentation continues to go on after the broad has been in the oven for some time, and of course much of the sweetness is lost. Then, in baking so long, and having so much crust, tharo ed is a peculiar sweetness givon which can t be attained in no other way. uP en POTATOES--HOw TO CooK.--Potatoes se should be boiled in a sauce-pan half full of water, boiling, and not in one filled with hot water, Steam is thus engen- sh cored, and ti;e potatoes are steamed til' imstead of boiled, whereby the poison- pa ous element which the potato has in an common with their solanw is neutralized. abi The lid of the saucepan should fit close- yo ly. When the potatoes are boiled the as steam should evaporate before they are sh eaten. They should not be fried in an butter as the poisonous matter is thus retained, to the serious prejudice of the stomach. Wilhiam Cobbeti was wvont Be to describe the potato as the "accursedI i root," but as it still constitutes the r chief food for laborers, it should be a. cooked properly. mar tak To MAKE CAULIFLOwERH PIoKLES.-- k Out the whitest, closest bunches into no' small clusters. Plunge into scalding w brine, and boil three minutes. Take n, them out, lay upon a cloth, sprinkle with salt thickly, and when dry brush this off.

A. very commnon error in window garden ing is that of attempting too much, To'o ~ many planta are crowded into the ~ little space at command, so that it is impossible to give each the air and light a it should have. Again plants of too diverse character are brouga.t together. i It is no uncommon thing to see troplical pilants and those from the temperate zone, if not Alpine plante, all crowded ci into the same windlow, and subjected to m the same temperature and treatment. bi Better far to have one healthy well grown plant,'that will yield Its flowers in perfection, than a dozen sickly, feeblo, di 'N wretched plants, that have no beauty citner of leaf or blossom. i To T'AKE RUST OUT OF STREL.-Plaice the article in a bowl containing kerosenec oil, or wrap the steel upl in a isoft cloth v' well saturated with kerosene, lot it re main twenty-four hours or longer, thern scour the rusty spots with bricK dust, h If badly rusted use salt wet with hot PS vinegar; after scouring rinse every p)ar- W ticle of brick dust or sailt off with boiluig hot, water; dry thoroughly, then polisa h. off with a clean Ilannel clotn and ahttileh sweoet oil,.

How TO UsE Eoos.-Eggs that are to be used in cake should be p)ut into cold water in summer while youl are making ci your preparations, until ready to use them. Then break each one separately into a cup, to see if it is good; but by breaking all into the dish you beat gi them in, you risk the whole by onoeogg. mn if good, turn it into tne dish, ana pro ceed the same way with the others. pl To PREvENT 11oLLrow PIOKLEs.-If P you will cut a short slit in the blow end of your cucumbers before you put them in the molasses and water, I think you willl nt find so many hollow p)icklesl. s The slit allows the gas to escape which forms so ranpil.
