On a certain pleasant morning, not many years ago, a stranger in Berlin, (looking from his window upon the swarm of pleasure-seekers in the streets, would have said: “ Here is a city given over to the pomps and vanities. Behold a Nation gif butterflies!” It was a fete day in Berlin—-the birthday of the Emperor. Your Berliner is a taciturn wight in lus shop or at his hearthstone, •but at evening in the gardens, where his beloved German musie can gladden •his heart and copious libations of beer ■can loosen his tongue, he is sociable and merry enough. At a regularly organized festivity he appreciates his duty to society, and is as light-hearted as the volatile \ iennese when he listens to the rhythm off a Strauss waltz. From tiie gray-headed diplomat, with the breast of his military coat resplendent with meda Is and orders, to the pale street boy, wjth face shiny from unwonted contact with soap and water, Berlin’s good pfople are on gayety intent. The streets are a mass of gay colors. and music is wafted to the ear by every breath of wind.

it has Deen saiu that me is so very serious an affair that we should never miss an opportunity to laugh; but no maxim is needed to bring laughter to the eyes and lips of the blonde and -buxom fratileiws and their military swains who promenaded so gaylv. Their laughter is in their hearts, made glad by the brightness of the sunshine and by youth and hope and love. Giuseppe Fuselli looks from his attic .window, and wonders if in ail the gay city, he is the only one in whose heart there is eo mirl h, who can dash away a tear as he gazes from his lattice* listening to the stirring music that fills the air.’ lie is a man past sixty, whose spare form is clad in garments that would bs tatters but for the clumsy mending that his own lingers have done. He is a handsome old man, for, despite the haggard features, there is a mingling of grandeur and poetry in his face. His hair is white as snow, his profile clear cut as a cameo, and his eyes, black as night and undimmed by the sorrows of a long life, show that he is no native of Germania. Giuseppe Fuselli plays the violin at the Royal Opera House." It is only the second violin, and he makes but a pittance, half of which is sent each week to a sister as poor as himself who is at home in Italy. The first violinists art. among the merry-makers of the file, •with money to spare for the pleasures of their sweethearts or wives. There had been a time when Gjjjgaaputs ambition'was as boundless -'"^sthe realms of his art. In youth he had said to himself: “My name shall be written with an eagle’s tjuiil upon the scroll of fame beside the glorious names of Beethoven and Mozart. My name shall live and my works shall be immortal. ’* Noto poor Giuseppe was very humble; hg only prayed that the fates might make him—a first violin. He turned from the window to the cheerless room, dark save for the stream of sunlight that came through the lattice, but which seemed chary of bestowing itself about so uncongenial a place. The walls were festooned With a gossamer tapestry I hat for years the spiders had been wearing undisturbed. Music —mostly manuscript—was strewn in confusion upon the floor, and covered the table anil the piano, which was the musician's one treasure. ■ft was an old, old piano, yet Giuseppe had ever found it a friend faithful and true. Long years ago he had mastered his p’aao, and, with his head thrown back, his thoughts glowing with visions of a noble future^ his lingers would wake songs of love, of passion, of triumph, and he said: “Tlie piano shall be my slave. I shall be great!” But the years drifted by; and now, when he was lonely—and he was so often lonely—he would let his fingers stray over the keys, and form, as if by their sang a lament for his lost life and pis crushed aspirations; it sang a glad anthem of hope, and whispered to Giuseppe: “Peace, desolate old heart! korget the cross that thou .hast borne so long. Think of, the crown that waits thee. Heaven is very near now, and there thou and * thy A’inetta shall be young sgain.” Often as he played, and the music spoke to his lonely old heart, the tears would start to his eyes, he would bury his face in his hands, and, resting his head upon the piano, would fail asleep as if upon the breast of a friend. As Fuselli seated himself at the piano, and his nimble fingers glided ripplingly over the keys, there was a timid knock at tlie door," and he started, for the sound was an unusual one. Then, as if recollecting, he said, with a smile:. “Ah! it is Lottchen.” He ojjened the door, and its framework inclosed a pretty picture; a daintv little German maid clad in white, with akn^t of bh#3 ribbon at her throat, and her braids of golden hair falling own will, a mild sweet

over ner -summers. ine column ol sunshine fell directly upon her, ns if welcoming a kindred spirit in this desolate place. “Good morning, meister," she said. “May 1 have the lesson now, please? There is a fete to-day, and Carl comes at eleven o'clock to take me to the gardens.” “ As yon please, my child,” said Fuselli; aiid for more than an hour she sang to him songs he had loved in Italy, songs be had himself written, each •ne with its memory. She had a sweet, clear voice, and from her Italian teacher she had learned to sing from the heart, an art in which the Germans yon know that Carl was trying for the grand prize? Ah! I am snre he will win; he is bo clever, my handsome Carl. Do yen not think he plays beautifully on his violin?” Carl Wertlier was a first violin at the Royal Opera- House, and the two musicians wore slightly acquainted. Carl’s compositions were very cleveir, so his friends told him. He was writing an opera, “Abelard and Hcloise,'' and many said it would make him famous. “ Oh! but iif it should fail?” said lit

all who hear my doubt my talent, little goose? Very well; wait and see.” Thus had Giuseppe Fuseli! S)*>ken forty years before, anil he was now half starring in a Berlin garret; but Carl had afi the pride and self-con-fidence of a youth of twenty. To him the future was roseate, imd fame a goal to l>e swiftly and surely reached. Fail! He knew not the word. The grand prize for composition was the talk of the art world and of Berlin’s Bohemia. fuselli had heard ranch of the hopes and fears fell; by young aspirants who had already sent to the judges their signed only with names scores, that would hide their identity. For himself Giuseppe felt, but little interest in the contest. He had given wp the strife long since; had folded his hands, bowed his head, and said: ** The world has been too mueh for me. I yield to fate; only—let me be a first ’violin.” Ambition to him was stifled. He had a pile of manuscripts his closet, and around them the spiders had woven their webs andthe dost had gathered thickly. Sometimes he looked ah them and said: “Perhaps, after I am dead, they may be heard, and then the name of Fuselli shall be great after all.” But thcD, if he Were a first violin, he should have food in plenty. How he wsis very often hungry. Lottcheu went with her Carl to the gardens. The old musician remained all day in hiss garret, dreaming over his mus ic and hi s past. ,, When evening came he took hiis violin from the shelf, and walked toward the opera house. The streets were stiil crowded with the revellers of the day; some returning home; others preparing to carqr their pursuit of pleasure far into the night. Students and young soldiers. who had taken more wine than was good for them; jostled one another at the street crossings, and the students" lie ter m ingled with the brazen music of the bands in the city’s many pleasure gardens A group of students stood before the entrance of a cafe, and, as Fuselli whs p issing, one of them^ a tall, stalwart fellow, seized him roughly by the arm and exclaimed: “Just w|iat we were wishing for! Now, Heiurieh, you can give us your song and old Paganini here wi ll plav

ior us. Lome, comrades—a, lolly chorus!” “Pardon, gentlemen.” said Giuseppe, “I am on my way to the Royal Opera and must take my place in the orchestra. Let me pass, if you please.” “Bah! you old imbecile. Your stopping away would not {greatly disappoint the audience, I fancy. They have Lucca and Waehtel to-night, aiid can spare one fid lie scraper among so many! Eh, comrades?” “Right, Conrad!” said another student. “Come, old fallow, let us hear what you can do. You play for us; we will siuw for yon, and yon can dr'nk for yourself:” and his companions shouted their approval. But the old man stsill remonstrating with his persecutors, the student who had first spoken became furious. Seizing Fuselli by the wr ist, he wrenched from him his violin, and threatening hi m with it, cried: “Then yon and your violin shall furnish music of another sort, you old curmudgeon!” lit would have fared, ill with Fuselli anti his violin; but the wanton student's arm was seized by a firm hand! and a resonant voice exclaimed: “For shame, Conra ! Reiehart! Look at the man, he is three times tout age!” “Oh! Then ho is a friend of yours, Carl Werther,” rejoined Reiehart. “Well, very likely, he is surly enough. Buti 1 shall do as I like with the old vagrant. Curse your interference!” “You will do flint, .no harm, l say!” said Carl. “The old man has claimed protection of me, and depend upon it, he shall have it.” The infuriated student released the trembling Giusepfpi ;:ind turned upon Carl. “Then you know what, to expect,” he said, grimly. “You do not look like a coward, though yon are an insolent meddler. You will fight, I suppose?” “You are right,” smswered Carl. “I am not a cowan]. You know well that for me to fight wiith vou, the best swordsman in Berlin, is like running to meet death. Still 1 am not afiaid to stand before your sword. T will meet you at twelve to-nigh: just outside the Thier-garten; you know the place.” “Good!” exclaimed, Conrad Reiehart; and Carl, taking Fuselli’s’arm, walked hastily toward the opera-house. Carl, in common with all German students, had had practice in fencing and in saber exercise. He had even taken part in two or three encounters, where the results had not been serious; but he was no match for an accomplished swordsman and marksman such as he knew his challenger to bp. Ho sooner was the opera over than he hastened to the home: of his Ijottchen. It was very late; but when he called to her window that he h ad been summoned upon a journey, and must go before sunrise, she came to the house-door, and, with many tears and entreaties to return very soon, bade him farewell. Then Carl turned litis steps in the direction of the Thier-garten. A dark form emerged from a, doorway and followed him at a little distance among the shadows of the silent street! It was Giuseppe Fuselli who had determined, come what might, not to lose sight of his protector. An hour later the short struggle was over, and Fuselli was bending over the prostrate form of his friend,' who was bleeding from a terrible wound in the head. “Keep this from Lottchen!” murmured the young; man. “She thinks me gone tp Heidelberg.” The old musician summoned assistance and Carl was curried to his lodgings. They were poor apartments, but palatial compared to Giuseppe’s miser-! able home. The first few (lays Carl was delerious and rj.ved of his Lottcfaen^his quarrel wish Conrad Reiehart, bnt most of all of his composition which was to win the gmn4 prize. Fuse!li watched by the young man’s bedside j

i of fame and the fut ure. No one knew the emptiness of bright dreams better than Giuseppe. The time bung heavy upon the watcher’s hands, and as he l ooked about him he saw Carl’s manuscripts upon the table inviting the inspection of a brother musician. He looked them through with a critical eys—songs, caprices, morcecmx de sa’on, the score of Cart’s treasured “Abelard and Heloise,” and, miost important of all, the unfinished symphony of which the young man had such high hopes. He glanced over the neatly written page;: and turned with a pitying look toward the bed where the sufferer lay, unconscious, but with his pallid face illumined! by a smile, as if, even now, he was dreaming of the triumph that was to bo his. “Ah! my poor boy,” muttered Giuseppe, "it will be too late. There is biit a week tefore the judges must declare the victor, and you must lie here long after the decision is given. Even were it finished, this would not win. My brave lad, then) are older heads than yonrs and same famous names among the competitors for the medal and the purse.” He paused, looked long at the young man upon the bedl. Suddenly his fitce lit up as if with an inspiration. Seating himself at the table, he drew toward him the score of Carl's work and the sheets of ba rred paper that lay

paper, as the ideas of melody and hirBw oy came to the brain taster than the hand could register them. That morning there was a soft tap at the door, and when Giuseppe opened it there stood Lottchen. “My Carl' My brave Cart!” she pri ed. “Oh, met ter! why did you keep this from me?” The musician silenced her With a gesture and pointed to the bed. With a little gasp of frigi$ the young girt kr elt beside her wounded and unconscious lover. “He does not know me—his Lottchen, who loves him so much!” she sobbad. “Oh, Fuselli! will ho die? Tell me that he will soon be well and strong again—my own Cart!” “No,” said the old man, “he will not die. The worst is over now, and we shall soon give him back to yon again.” “Thank the dear God for that!” said tlieg:ri, piously. “And the prizes that Curt so surely would have won—ah, now it will be too late. How grieyed ho will bo! We mnst wait now for another year—Carl and I.” “l)o not fear. 1 will send the score to the judges. There is but a page or tvro to add, and it shall be sent in iunple time, I promise you.” “How good you are, dear Fuselli! Carl and 1 will always ble& you, and erery night I will remember you in my prayers;” and with a parting kiss uipon her betrothed pale face, Lottchen departed. Her heart was light and her free smiling and happy, for was not Carl to be well soon, and his symphony to be finished, too? Ah! that would surely win! . Another day and eveningthe old tuan watched his patient and worked at h's lnbor of love and gratitude. Then he "laid down his pep^and said softly! “ There, my Cart;*;your symphony is finished and in time—in ample time.” He went to the piano and played, the beautiful work through to the end. When its last strains died away., he was tempted sorely to break his resolution and to try for the prize in his own , behalf; bnt the thought flashed only an instant through his mind and was banished by a weak voice which asked: I *f What—what—music—is that? What a divine composition!” ! “ It is your own, ray boy:” answered Fuselli. “ Yonr * Siegfried * symphony. I was jnst about to send it to the judges. May you have the fortune to win!”:

“Ah! I remember,” said Carl; and lie really thought the music his own, 1: all forgo: ten in his fever and delirium. But a few days had passed when a packet with portentous seals and imposing exterior was left for Herr Carl Werther. It was a letter telling him (that his “Siegfried” symphony was Ithe composition to which the judges ■unanimously awarded the grand prize— t he medal and the purse. The Em peror had heard the symphony and was enthusiastic in its praise. The art world of Berlin talked of nothing but the triumph of the new aspirant. i|&“ A German undoubtedly; and yet the music of ‘Siegfried’ is thoroughly Italian.” So said a brother musician to Giuseppe. But the old man kept his secret, looking at Lottchcn and Carl in their new-founti happiness, and saying to himself: “ It is lor their sakes. lam content.” One morning there was a knock at (die street-door of. Giuseppe’s lodging, and a letter was handed to the good •lame who responded. “For Giuseppe Fuselli,’* said the messenger. “Ah! I will take it to him,” exclaimed Lottchen, who had come to uake ker morning lesson, and she bounded lightly up the stairs, hoping hat she might be the bearer of good news. She knocked twice. There was no answer. So she entered the poor little room. Fuselli was reclining over his piano,, his face buried iu his hands. Sim touched him gently on the shoulder. There was no response. One hand fell limp and heavy to his side, disclosing jhis face, and the young girl knew that she stood in the presence of death. He who had aspired so grandly, whose talents the world had refused to own, was far from the strife for fame, which with him had been changed toast niggle for existence. Lottchen tore open the envelope. The letter was a brief one, and it' was signed by the Herr Director of the Royal Opera House. It read: “Giuseppe Fuselli: Werther hits resigned because of the success of his work. Your playiqg has always beea satisfactory, and this is to inform; you that you will hereafter play first violin.” f But it came too late. The old piano had whispered for the last time: “Peace, desolate old heart; forget the cross that thou has borne so long: think of the crown that waits thee. Heaven is very hear thee now, and there thon and thy Ninetta shall be young again!”—Barry B. Smith, in Chicago Current. Dresses for Little Boys. Boys of two years wear the English Princess dress, the same as that worn by girls of the same age, except that they are made shorter at the side seams. The lower part of the skirt is kilted. Linen, cashmere, sa’teens and percales are made in the same way; thev are often made with three box plaits in the back, and with deep square collars and cuffs. Scotch ginghams, in small checks, large plaits and stripes are also pretty in this style of dress. The coat for these little fellows is a half long jacket, worn also by girls, and is made of red or blue cloth. Bine flannel, dark cashmere of gray, brown, blue and garnet, combined with checked cloths of light weight, are suitable for their spring dresses and for traveling, and also for country dresses for summer wear. They wear turbans and little polo caps of cloth or serge: the turbans are made of the same material as the dress, with a puffed crown. Colored stockings for boys arc ribbed and have white feet. For older boys English kilt, dresses are worn altogether until they are eight or nine years of age, then the kr icker

<« .r <ju. me sui sums have wider side plaits than formerly, or else box pi:.its. These skirts can: be attached to a silesia waist, or else the band of the skirt is buttoned onto the shirt waist of linen or percale. Their little jackets to be worn with these skirts are merely roundabouts. Norfolk jackets with tucks or box plaits in front and back, are also worn with these skirts. Sailor blous?8 are, if anything, looser and longer. Twilled woolens, shepherd’s cheeks, linens and the Jersey webbings are all used for these suits. Suits, snowing mixrd threads of color and made with a belted Norfolk jacket and long black stockings are very stylish for boys from eight to twelve years of age. Velvets or velveteens are the choice for dressy suits for boys from two to nine years of age. Dark blue,'brown, green and black are the colors principally used. The velvet jacket with the kilt is cut away and shows the vest beneath. Overcoats for boys are sacque shape, with very deep collar and cods. —Brooklyn Eagle. —While riding in the cars one day some years ago, the late Wendell Phillips was asked by a rather pompous man what was his aim in life. “To benefit the negro,” was the bhinl reply. “Well, then, why don’t you go down South to do it?” “That is worth thinking of. I see a white cravat around your neck; pray, what is the object of your life?” “To save souls from hell.” “May I ask you whether you propose to Igo there,to accomplish your objtteil’”—

---= Our Mv System We must get cur fee ding syste m down to a liner point in tlis country. We can not expect to maka lire stoc k: profit* able while we persist in' feeding at random. We have had : something to say in recent numbers abiut the profit-de-stroying practice, as a rule, of fattening hogs at too early an are. Now we are aware that those who follow that practice are just as film in 'their belief that that is the mote profitable coarse to pursue as we are in the belief' that it is disastrously destructive of profits. We judge by general observation and experience ana general results. We do not pretend to have conducted any close experiments to show ihe difference between the two systems. But we do know that so far as our observation has extended early fattaners have never made the money that late fatteners have made, if they are fed intelligently. But it is a matter that can be settled with r asonable certainty and ought to be. It is every swine-breeder's duty to himself to settle it, and it can be done in five years at the furthest unless there should be some cause for a very high price of pork at one time, and a very low price at another, or unless the experiments are interfered with by disease. The late fattener has this advantage over the other side. All the time his hoes are on grass t;he cost is so little that it is unnecessary' for him to take it into consideration at all. But the early fattener is nt expense all the time, without inter ru ption, and it is certainly his duty to know precisely what that expense is. He must force. What does it cost to force ’ Have any of us any definite idea? Probably not, and this is the way the profits May slip through our bauds. With omr cows, swine, sheep, and with all our other animals we ought to know what thev are costing us. We saw a peu of ten hogs once that we think would have weighed^ ten thousand pounds. That was their estimated weight, and that pen of hogs was a show that drew the multitude. Tho owner was proud of them, and they, of course, brought him a handsome sum of money. He not unlikely went about telling"how much money he made on hogs. But did he make any? JVe will venture to say that he was utterly unable to show anybody that he did. His aim was to produce a monstrous hog, anil probably had not the faintest idea what it had ewt him to

do it. * This is not close business praet’ce. The receipts are not the first side of the ledger to look at. What have we expended? is the first question. That ascertain)*!, then what have been our, receipts? Then we will find what the profits have been.— H'es/cm Rural. i Dangers of H igh Feeding. Laying fowls must be provided with fresh drink daily nn 1 light diet for the morning feed.' The evils of heavyfeeding begin to crop out at this season with pullets, and alder ones manifest the weakness later as they come into laying. Then complaints are heard of such diseases as cholera, etc., when in reality the fault lies in the previous feed'ng. Oftentimes there arc complaints of finding thi fowls dead under the roost: sometimes with full, sometimes with empty crops. At the same time the keeper does npt know whether the birds went up to roost the night before, or even for several nights before. He only knows that he has fed well, given com in abundance, perhaps supplied drink each day. perhaps not. The fowls may have had to obtain water either at the fa.rm-y ard water trough or by eating snow. Tins sort of poultry keeping among our farmers has been too common in former days, but I am glad to be able- to tltink it has become the exception. _ Heavy feeding of com alone will *ot answer. Its evil effect will, be seen sooner or later. Some may endure it and come out all right in the spring., but half the profit jit gone. There have been no winter egg?, and these are one of the important items in the keeping of fowls at the present dav. Even though the fowls nay he comfortably housed and eared for, yet they may be too crowded and fed too high. Fowls require a change of feed often; and considerable (coarse bulky food. There is a difference also in breed, but all pray be forced to an excessively fat dbndi tion, which is always injurious., especially with young fowls that should be urged into laying at as early an age as possible after completing growth. The large, or Asiatic fowls In particular, after fnlly grown and matured, should have the rations of corn st ntecl, and: be fed largely on coarse, bulky Heed, such as moistened bran, wheat screenings, com meal ground with the cofi, etc., so tnat they may not gorge themselves with rich anil fat-producing feed, unless it is desired to fatten them for market. Plenty of vegetable and animal food is necessary to promote health, when the fowls will generally prod uce eggs. Among the evils of heavy winter feeding, is the weakening oif the egg organs. In seme cases the ovaries are entirely destroyed, and many times so weakened as to be unable to perform their function, caused by being loaded with fat in the earlier portion of the season. For this there is prevention, but no remedy.—Country Gentleman. Farm Hands. One of the general.complaints i» the rural districts is the scarcity and worthlessness of firm laborers. The first part of this complaint indicates generally a mutual fault in both the employer and employe. Young men of American parentage have a feeling of independence that often misleads them to their own injure. They think .jt a compromise of their manhood to become subject to the will and beck of a landlord, and look on the pittance ol ten- or fifteen dollars a month With scorn, when they fiear of laborers in town getting ten dollars a week for work. But, like most men iraised on a farm, they forget the matter of boarding, washing and other expenses incident to working anywhere except on the farm. A man earning, twelve dollars a month including board, washing,

etc., wm generally have more money at the end of the year than iff ho made that amount per week in the city. Moreover, a yonn«j man will find the position of a field hand on the farm of =n intelligent a id prosperous farmer a school where he may learn lessons that will be of mom value to him when ho becomes the manager of a farm than .the- wapes he earns. But the farmer himself is, to some extent, responsible for the scarcity of iarm hands in his repelling them bv his domineering manner and Ids rigid exaction of constant labor. Ifo man |'ains anything by sending his help to the field before breakfast, or tyr denying him bis ' hour at noontide rest. These mutual mistakes have filled our field with farm hands from the Old World; henee the complaint of worthlessness, A foreigner, however willing he may be, knows but little of our methods of farm work, and less of our implements and tools; and the farmer is often unable, if not unwilling, to impart the necessary instruction. From these causes chiefly come the scarcity and worthlessness of firm hands.—Indiana Farmar. —William R.

Water should always be provided in the barn-yard, the feeding-boxes should be near where the feed is kept, and the buildings should not be very far removed from the house. If this results in more neatness about barns and barn-yards than has been thought necessary, it will be another important advantage gained.— Chicago Journal. Dees the Animal- Fulfill Its Purpose! The object of keeping animals bn the general farm is profit or utility. We breed cattle, swine, sheep, and perhaps horses, for money. If we make an exception of the horse in this regard we breed or buy him for use, precisely as we purchase a machine. The stead y aim of the tanner if he is enterprising is to secure the best machinery. He watches and inquires until he finds the best; and nobody need bo told how loudly he complains if he gets hold of a piece of machinery or an implement that is worthless or comparatively so. But how often are we indifferent to the merits of our horses. Here is a horse that is be-t described as a slowpoke. It sleeps when it walks and does not go much faster when it trots; or it may be one of those horses that eat and eat and never give any adequate account for what they consume, and in other wavs it may be an inferior and imperfect animal. Now that means financial loss to the fanner. A slow horse requires much more time to do a certain amount of work than the fast walking horsi; would require; that requires a loss of time bn the part of the driver, and the result is that but a portion of the work is done that might be done if the horse is of quick aetion. * We do not grow as much in our fields, it costs more to grow what we do grow, and because of a possible lack of thorough cultivation^ what we do grow is not as good as if we had horses that had some spirit and vim in them. If the horse is vicious we are constantly exposed to Joss and danger. The animal may injure other animals or injure ourselves, necessitating an outlay of money. Now we do not act thus recklessly with inspect to other matters, as already stated. If the machine will not do its work well and quickly we throw it aside, and consider it money in our pocket to lose what we have pa"id onl for the machine and to pay ont more for a new one; and as for a vicious animal its keeping is very much like the keeping of a defective steam boiler which" is liable to burst at any time. It is a violation of all recognized principles of business to keep an inferior horse on the farm. It would be expensive if we got it far nothing and somebody kept it for us without cost. Rapidity wins. Slowness always loses. Our labor-saving machinery, our telegraphs and railroads make it necessary for us to be active in all onr operations of the world will getahead of us. The man who cultivates his crop with a hoe, reaps his grain with a cradle and mows his grass with a scythe might as well quit farming if he is engaged in it with any expectation of competing with men who use improved machinery. Bnt poor teams are a part of the primitive implement policy of farming. It is a waste of time, and time is money. We shall never make farming pay'in this country until we institute a reform in those things which many, of us style little things. If they are little they make a large aggregate loss— Western Sural.

Pasturing in Corn-Stalks. Every winter losses of cattle are reported from smut, staggers, etc. These reports come largely from sections where cattle are pastured on the stalks. The truth is, in nine cases ont of ten, the cattle have diet! not of any one of the diseases mentioned but from gorging the stomach with food difficult of digestion and requiring plenty of water to soften and float it up. Cattle are turned into the corn-field after the husking has been done to help themselves without restraint; there is no water, or at least an insufficient amount within reach, the mostly fib rous mass comes to a standstill in the stomach, inflammation begins and the animal dies. The facts enumerated above (each the importance of c:,re and discretion. A little thought will make it evident to every farmer that cattle ought not to be turned into a fresh: stalk-field when hungry and permitted to remain there any great length of time. In a word, cattle should become gradually accustomed to this diet: An hour among the corn-stalks the first day. with plenty of hay, and the time extended each day after, as the stock becomes accustomed to thi3 food. Another precaution consists in giving plenty of water to cuttle that are pastured on corn-stalks. Some of on:r best fanners encourage a thirst for water by giving the cattle salt every day. By observing the precautions suggested, cattle may be past ured in stalk- fields without serious results attending.—.Af. Y. World. 6

After teing all sorts of salves, ointments, lotions and plasters, her ease was given up as hopeless. She was induced to try St. Jacobs Oil as a last chance. She began to improve from the time the first applies; ioa was made, and by its continued use, sha has completely recovered. Bakers are great loafers, but they are generally high-bred men.—.Y. 1". Independent. HEREDITARY TAIXT8. Borne Revelations on a Subject Which Concerns the Welfare or the Baca aad the Happiness of All. {Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.] To any one who ha s studied the laws of life, and especially those which relate to reproduction, an experience such as we are about to relate, will come with special force arid interest. The transmission of certain mental traits of prominence, and of certain physical traits of equal prominence, are facts which all acknqjwledge, but which none ran understand. The father may be distinguished—the son, an imbecile; or, the parent may be decrepit and unknown, and the child achieve the highest place possible to humanity. But through it all, there will Be certain characterist es, which marl: the individual as descending from certain ancestors. Too often, indeed, these characteristics are infirmities, and often of a physical nature. These facts were strikingly brought out during a conversation, which a representative Of this paper recently had with Mrs. Carrie D. T. Swift, who is the wife of one of our most prominent citizens. This lady related that she inherited from her parents certain tendencies, over which she had no control, and which were in the nature of Wood difticul ies, assuming the form of rheumatism. Her experience can best he described in her own words- To the writer she said: 1 felt the beginning of this hereditary taint many years ago, in vague pains, which seemed to come unaccountably aud at uncalled for times. They were annoying, exhausting, and interfered not only with my duties, but also totally destroyed ! my happiness. At first, they would he i only transient, appearing for a day or two, j and then disappearing; then again they | would come in such violent forms, that it j was impossible for me to lift a cup to my mouth. Afterwards, my feet and hands swelled so that it was imnossible for meto

“raw on my shoes or gloves without the greatest effort. I realized what the difficulty was, but seemed powerless to avert it. I finally became so bad that 1 was confined to the house and to my bed most of the time. My joints pained me continuously and my ft c; swelled to enormous proportions. Knowing that I inherited this tendency, I had about abandoned hope, when I began the use of a remedy, which was recommended to me as a friend as being specially efficient in cases of a similar ■ kind. To my great gratitude, I found that it relieved me, restored my appetite, and I am able to say that now I have gained forty pounds in weight, feel perfectly w> 11 and am in the best possible condition, owing, wholly, to Warner’s Safe Rheumatic cure, which was the remedy I used.” “No one would ever suspect you had suffered so, Mrs. Swift, to see you now,” remarked the reporter. “ That is what all my friends say. Only yesterday, an acqdaintauce of mines whom 1 had not seen for some time, hesitated, liefore speaking, and apologized by saying: * Why, I ready did not know you, you" have changed so for the better since I last met you, how well yon do look.” “ Have you any objection to giving the name of the party who first mentioned this remedy to you?” “ Not the slightest. It was Mr. R. H. Furmr.n, the photographer.” The newspaper man, after bidding Mrs. Swift good-bye, repaired to the photographic rooms of Mr. Furman, when the following conversation ensued: “ Have you been a sufferer from rheumatism, Mr. Furman?” “ Well, I should think I had.” “ For how many years?” “ Twelve or fifteen.” “Did you try to cure it?’* “ Yes, I tried everything, and, at last, •rent to the Hot Springs of Arkansas, and nothing seemed to do me any good until I tried Warner’s Safe Rheumatic Cure.” “ And it Cured you, did it?” “Yes, completely.” “ And you can cordially recommend i ?” “ Yes, indeed, more cordially than anything I have ever known of. It is simply a wonderful medicine. I believe that twothirds of all cases, both acute and chronic, could be cured as I was cured by the use of this remedy. In fact I know a number of persons who have been in the worst possiblecondition, and are now completely well wholly through its use.” The statements _ above made are from sources, the authority of which can not be questioned. They conclusively prove the value of the preparation named and show that even hereditary traits can be removed by the use of the proper means. Btuwep. was right; there is no such word as fail; it is mollified down into assignment. From Colonel C. n. Mackey, 32nd Iowa Infantry: I have derived more benefit from Ely’s Cream Balm than anything el«e I have ever tried. I have nowlieen using it for three months and am experiencing no trouble from Catarrh whatever. I have been a sufferer for twenty years. C. H. Mackey, Sigourney, Iowa,' Feb. 23, J8S2. It’s mighty aggravating to a prisoner to hear the jailer whistling: “Mother keeps the gate locked now.”'—.Boston Post. My father had an eating cancer for several years, which had eaten away his under lip and the inside of his cheek, down to the bottom of his gums. We got some of Swift’s Specific and gave him, and the effect has been wonderful—almost miraculous. The sores are all healed, and he is perfectly well. Every ope here said it was only a question of time about his death, and his cure has created the greatest excitement ip this part of the country. Wat. B. Lathrof. Sonth Easton, Mass., Jan. 7, 1884.
