In some tranquil and apparently amiable natures, there are often unsuspected and unfathomable depths of resentment. The tear of a loving girl is Kke a dewdrop on the rose; but that on the cheek of a wife ia a drop of poison to her husband. Of all monarch*, nature is the moat just in the enactment of laws, and the most rigorous in punishing the violation' of them.

Farm and Garden Notes.

Wandth saves feed, helps fattening and prevents sickness among live stock. Back wheat flour is recommended for giving the hair of horses a fine, smooth, brilliant appearance. A man in Esston, Maine, harvested j 10,000 bushels of potatoes from forty-five acres of ground. ( Stagnant and impure water which cows , drink while at pasturage is one of the most prominent causes of bad odor in mj Ik. Give hens constant access to lime in some form. Hens must have the raw material in order to manufacture shells; they cannot make them out of nothing. A Jersey cow in Memphis surprised her owner and the farmers thereabouts by’giving milk that made three pounds ox butter from one gallon of milk. Guinea fowls will keep all bugs and iqsecta of every description off garden vines, They will not scratch like other fowls or harm the most delierte plant. A Mississippi farmer dashes cold water into the ears of choking cattle. This causes the animal to shake its head violently and the muscular action dislodgeethe obstruction. Farmers should bear in mind that frozen meat will not absorb salt. Before eitlter frozen beef or t>ork ia pat in a barrel for salting it should be thawed oat. Itls stated that on James L. Ray’s farm in Lewis and Clark county, Montana; one acre yielded 102 bushels of wheaVthe largest yield of wheat ever When a hone is' worked hard his feed should be chiefly oats—if not worked hard his food shonld l>e chiefly hay, because oats supply more nourishment and flesh making material than any other food —hay not so much. The reason cabbage emits such, a disagreeable smell when boiling is because the process dissolves the essential oiL The water should be changed when the cabbage is half boiled, and it will thus acquire a greater sweetness. To utilize t!u feathers of ducks, chickens and turkeys, generally thrown aside as refuse, trim the plumes from the stump, enclose then in a tight bag, rub the whole as if washing clothes, and you will secure a perfectly uniform and light down, excellent for quilting coverlets, and pot a few other purposes. Prod L. B. Arnold advises skimming milk as soon aa sourness is perceptible, and to chant at 60 degrees instead of 70, before the cream gels very old and sour. Wltan the butter comes in granules, enough cold wator or twine should be put in to reduce ihe mass to 55 degrees, when, after a little slow churning, the granules will become hard and distinct and the butter be in condition for washing out all the buttermilk. The B&lt should then be worked in with ns little labor as poetible, and after standing awhile it will be ready to pack.

The Lyre Bird.

One of nature’s singular and beantifril freaks is found embodied iu the lyre bird, an inhabitant of the mountains of Australia. It seems strange enough to find this large bird, classed with the wren family, those tiny warblers of English hedgerows, but science pronounces them of similar construction, however different in appearance. The name of lyre bird Ims been bestowed on account of the resemblance of the. tail feathers of th e male to an ancient lyre, but the natives of Australia call it bulten bullen, in imitation of its wild, shrill cry. The color ofits plumage is rich rather than brilliant Mostly or a dark brownish gray.it is brightened by red on the throat and the short feathers at the base of the taiL It is very shy in its habits, choosing haunts among the thickly-wooded cliffs which are almost inaccessible to the most daring banter. Its nest is generally placed in the crotch of some tree very near thv ground, as it is not a bird or lofty flight, and loves best to hide among: the low undergrowth of the forest. Its best is roughly built of sticks and leaves,; of a

round form, with the entrance on one side, and seen from a little-distance resembles a heap of forest rubbish tumbled together by chance; but, inside, nothing could exceed the softness and delicacy of the feather lining supplied by the mother bird. In this downy nest she deposits one single egg of ashy gray spotted with brown. As she only nests once a lear, it is natural these birdsjshould not • very numerous. They are generally found in isolated pairs, and the male iealously resents any infringement upon his domain, fighting with a good will any other suitor that may dare to cast eyes on his lady. This jealously is often made use of by the natives to entrap the bird. They fasten a tail from some captured bint upon the head, and conceal themselves in the bushes, more sufficiently to give a natural swaying motion to' the feathers. When the male sees the apP«snujce of a supposed rival, he advances, furious for battle, and fells an easy prey to the hunter, "

barking all dogs, even an imitation or the rough, rasping nolae of tii* aaw, mingled with notes of all kind of hArda, and at interbetrayedtoslyra bird aa tba imitative singer. Efforts have bean made to raise the young of the lyre bird* bat they In-

Gloomy Weather Thoughts.

The physical end mental structure of sen makes him peculiarly susceptible to ill changes in the weetber. On e fine, dear morning with a bracing atmosphere you will see him walk oat with an elastic reedier will than he otherwise were wont He greets his neighbor with a cordial “Good morning, my friend; film mornfng, this." If he is askedabout bua*Ehe quickly replies, “Good, very ; prospects for a large trade never r." .No matter what his employ memt is, on each a morning a man will look on the bright aide of Labor ia easier, health is better, social qualities more obvious, and everything about him bears the impress of his gooc| spirits. rs »' | On the other liand, darken the pictum with clouds. Draw from them their aqueous substance. Deluge the earth with K* >om and rain, and as soon as that am done a complete metamorphosis takes piece. The bright, happy and hopeful man of the bright and bapgy day is the dull and gloomy person of the dulK gloomy day. He condescends a gruff salute, if he greets yon at all, ana his business, if he lies any, is in a deplorable condition. He mopes along like a bad case of snail, and if you weren’t intimately acquainted with him, ypq would be impressedtliat liehad just returned from a second class funeral, where he constituted the chief mourner. Such is the effect produced upon many by gloomy weather. We are, as a people, too hopeful when sailing on a full tide, and too hopeless when we reach the shallows of life. We need to have invented s machine by which cheerfulness, sunshine and hopefulness can be bottled up and carried over when occasion needs, and another one so cork up a little gloom and a little incredulity for those who in fine weather are iuclined to “fly too high.” This emwi and high-spirited business ought to be more evenly balanced. We need a safety valve put on onr natures, regulated for fair and gloomy weather, or a gnage that would pop off when its owner carried more than a hundred pounds of sanguine ness or more than .the same amount of H bines.”

The Eyes of Knowledge.

Thoee who know little, see little. To *he man who cannot read, this paper is a blank. In exact proportion as onr stock of information increases, the sphere of our mental vision is enlarged. Knowledge furnishes eyes to our understanding, and endows them with clearness, precision, and magnetic power. To the ignorant man, the stars are mere specks of light, rather more ornamental, he thinks, perhaps, than his tin lantern, but not half so useful as a guide to his footsteps through the night To the astronomer, they are worlds and congeries bf worlds, moving through space in obedience to immutable laws, fulfilling in their shining marelfo purposes at which even his educated intellect can only guess, and, seeing them with the eyes of science, he wonders and adores. Botany, chemistry, every branch of natural philosophy, gives us a deeper, truer insight into the mysteries cy which we are surrounded. We cannot even undei stand our own mechanam without the aid of physical science, t has Deen said that the more men snow, the more profound and general their knowledge, the more they are disposed to scepticism in religions matters. The assertion is false. Men of the deepest research are generally the. .firmest believers in revelation. There are' and have been uudevont philosophers, bat the exceptions do not militate against the rule. The greatest lights of modem learning and science have been sincere Christians. See how research confirms Scripture history. Layard, the great archseologist, has found recorded upon disinterred monuments of aacient Egypt the very facts ita relation to the wars of Jndea chronicled in the Bible. On the crumbling fragment of the walls of Nihevah he discovered the name of the prophet Jonah, and he has rendered into English, from the characters on the tombs and monuments of Oriental memoranda of their victories and defeats and progresses, which tally precisely with the statement of Holy Writ. But for the wopderful eyes supplied by scientific research, these physical confirmations of the truth ox divine history would never have been disclosed.

Whipping Children.

A parent who don’t know how to govern a child without whipping it. ought to surrender the care of that child to some wiser person. Sportsmen once thought it was necessary to lash their (feds to training them for the field. Theyfnow, now that the whip should never be used.Horsemen once thought it wasnecessary to whip colts to teach them ttfstart on the spot at thb wohl, and pull bteadily. They know ncofthat an apple is better than the lash, and a oaress better than a blow, If dogs and bones can be thus educated without punishment, what is there in onr children which makes it necessary to slap and pound them? Have they less intelligence?iHave they colder heartM Are they lower in the scale of * being? %j b*™ heard many old people say:.

Coffee in Typhoid Fever.

Dr. Guillaaee, of the French army, in a recent paper on typhoid fever, says: “Coffee has given us unhoped for satisfaction ; after having dispensed it, we find, to our great surprise, that its action is as prompt asit is decisive. No sooner have our patients taken a few tablespoonfhls of it tlian their features become relaxed and they come to their senses. The next day tne improvement is such that we are tempted to look upon coffee as a specific against? typhoid fever. Under its influence the stupor is dispelled, and the patient rouses from the state of somnolency in which he has been since the invasion of the disease. Soon all the functions take their natural 1 course, and he enters upon conv&lesence.” Dr. Guillasse gives to an adnlt Awo nr three tablespoonfuls of strong black coffee every two hoars, alternated with one or two tablespoonfuls of claret or Burgundy wine. A little lemonade or citrate of magnesia should be taken daily, and after a while, quinine. From the fact that malaise and cerebral fever acting on the nerves ig peculiarly indicated in the early stages bates local complication* arise,

I thought his hair had decidedly turned grayer; this may, however, have been only imagination, and therefore ought rather to be considered as an impression than actual fact. Within the last few months a fresh case of the poafibiiity of the oolor of the hair changing haa come under my notice. An old gentleman, aged eighty-nine, residing in my immediate neighborhood, lately died. For many years his hair has been perfectly white, bat a few days before his death some of his hair became black, giving the appearance of his having dark brown or butek hair. Here it is interesting to note that in his younger days his hair was light After the death of this gentteman the tips of his hair for about an inch assumed the original color, becoming white again. 1 nave heard of another instance where, after death, the hair had turned from white to Wack. Dogs seem to be affected with regard to their hair in like manner aa human beings. I lately read of a case where a black Newfoundland dog became gray in a few weeks, and the writer decursf that the only cauae for this sudden ooa version was grief.

Perslan Ladies.

The bath la the greatest pleasure pad luxury—we might almost caH it necessity of life-pof the Persian women. They spend the greater part of their leisure time there; indeed, the Eastern ladies regard the use of the bath almost in the light of a religious duty. The bathroom in Persia ia uie temple,the newsroom, the drawing-room—all in one. The women make appointments to meet there, and they tattle and gossip away their sweet nours there, sometimes spending from seven to eight hours at a time in the carpeted saloon attached to it, —where, and in the bath, they tell stories, relate anecdotes, eat sweetmeats, smoke the naighileh (or pipe), and embellish their beautiful forms with all the fancied perfections of the East, —dyeing their hair and eyebrows, and curiously staining their ftur bodies with a variety of fantastic devices, not nnfreqnently with the figures of trees, birds and beaßta.sun. moon, and stars. The day on which the ceremony of the bath rises into a high religions exercise, according to the Persian women, is “the last Friday of the blessed month of Ramazan when, according to their own special etiquette, they ‘fought to dress superbly, and perfume themselves, and put on their best ornaments, and go to the porticoes of the mosoues.” There they “sit down and stretch out their feet, and every one must light twelve tapers, and in doing this care must be taken to lift the hand high above the head, so as to raise up the veil, as if ly accident, and thus display their beautiful faces.”- All the twelve tapers must be lighted by each maiden, and where one of the tapers is left unlighted, it is regarded as an unlucky omen. “Further, it is not at all necessary that, in lighting the tapers, silence should he observed. On the contrary, lovely women should always let their sweet voices be heard.” Such is the law of the Persian sages. ,

Telegraphic.

In th«J building in which the wriu.'x was employed' some times slnce was a negro porter whose name was Burnet Among his duties was that of carrying telegraphic messages to the offices of the companies for transmission. He. had cudgeled his brains as to the method thereof, and the result was indicated one day when there happened to be passing a wagon loaded with large poles used by the telegraph companies m supporting their wires. Upon my alluding to their extraordinary size, Barnet, who was standing near, said, ‘I specs dem telegraph poles has to be pooty large, don’t dev, Mr. H* 7 r ‘What makes you think that?*’ I asked. “Well, I s’pose jist for de standin’ dey don’t need to be so big, but when dey putt on de presthu ’ dey has to be pooty strong.” . “Wnat do you mean by putting on the pressure?” “Why,” said he, “when dey sends de messages over don’t dey have to pat on <_le preßshu’?” That is a Mr theory; bat President Orton once gave us another explanation, made by a ‘‘man and a brother,” thus: “Now you see, Sam, s’pose da was a dog, an'd dat dew’s head was in Hoboken and his tail in Brooklyn.” “Go ’way, now, da ain’t no each dog.” “Well, B’pose da was.”.. “Well, s’poee da was.” lo J > , “Well, den de telwraat to lea like dat dog.

An Outside Operation.

Gape God, in one of its fishy towns, has a clever doctor, and a wag withal. In one of his rides, just leaving home, pe was met by a fleshy, panting female, whose bandaged face and forlorn aspect denoted only too well her ailment. “Oh! doctor, doctor!” she exclaimed, “I am almost dying with the toothaohe! ,Yon mast return immediately to your office and give me relief!” - The good man instantly signified his willingness to do so, and they soon reached his residence. The lady, all trepidation and nervousness, tremblingly-sank into a chair and awaited the dread process. The doctor, meantime, with the kindness and considerateness which, were always his characteristics, endeavored to encourage and reassure her. But as he stepped up to her with the “cruel’’forceps, the perspiration ran more prCfasefy/ the patient sat more uneasily, and the month opened wider and wider, as if it would take in hoo(f t hi n g its immediate neighbor- “ Again I beg you to be calm, madam,” were the words of the physician, “and suffer yourself to have no fear. It will be but rite work of a moment,-at the longest. And perhaps,” he added, with a glance at the “cavernous" opening before him, and with just the slighted approach to a waggish smile, “you might even venture to dote the mouth a Utile, particularly as I purpose to stand upon the outside during the operation .” V’ t L .si i Y«v ?i. ;

“Good Old Times.”

Almost everybody thus expresses himself; bat the Denver RepubKcan records oar sentiments when it says: “We don’t believe in them. The happiest time is now.’ The best times are thoee we live in. The poor man haamqre of the comforts of life and more of its enjoyment tlian the rich man had fifty years ago. When a man grumbles about the present affaire, and talks about the good old times when men were happy and prosperous, w 6 wish he could turn back the pages of life’s book and read the history es those old timee. Recently, we were reading the Uie of Salmon P. Chase His nncle was an Episcopalian bishop of the diocese of Ohio, and in 1825 youm Chase visited him to finish his education Wheat, that year brought 25 cento a bosh el, and cents to pay the' postage on a Tetter, if carried’over 160 miles.

Old Love Letters.

Only a bundle'of old yellowed papers tied together with a faded ribbon, these are all that may be left to remind the gray-haired creature that tearfully bends over them of one on whom the grassy sod may have moulded for vears, or whose affections trifled with by her, have found a peaceful dwelling place-in a more constant heart. This tear-stained packet is all that connects Irer present with the past, and as she pores over its contents, the frosty clasp of vears is relaxed before the burning word of love, only to be clenched tighter as stern realities now draw the curtain of regret before all the alluring promises of the long ago. From these u<Ted lines, the chord of memory runß back to the time when they grew fresh and glossy beneath the* writer’s hand, mute messengem from the burning heart that breathed its love upon the page. But why touch the chord when every note awakens a longing that can never be gratified, for who can recall an echo from the past? Fold them up carefully, they are the tomb of your own dead hopes, mouldering slowly into nothingness. Peace, peace to the ashes)

Facts for the Curious.

Ninevah was fourteen miles long, eight miles wide and forty-six miles round, with a wall thick enough for three chariots abreast; Babylon was fifty miles within the Walls, which were -sev-enty-five feet thick and one hundred feet high, with hbd hundred brazen gates. The temple of Diana at Ephesos, was four hundred and twentyfoefc totbweupport of the Troof—it wa# one hundred years in building. The, largest of the pyramids was four hund*e&and eightyone foet in height, and eight hundred and fifty-three feet on the eides. The base covers eleven acres. The stones are about sixty feet in length, and the layers are two hundred and eight. It employed 350,000 men in building. The Labyrinth in Egypt contains three hundred chambers and twelve halls. Thebes, in Egypt, presents ruins twenty-seven miles round, and contained 350,000 citizens and 400, 000 slaves. The Temple of Delphos was so rich in decorations, that it was plundered of $50,000,000, and the Emperor Nero carried away from it two hundred statues. The walls of Rome were thirteen miles round.

The Root of Good Manners.

The whole value of manner lies in its sincerity. If it be not a true expression of the inner feelings, it is nothing. A great mistake of Lord Chesterfield was in teaching that, as manner was so important, it should be selected, laid out and put on like a dress, instead of being developed from within. This is a favorite idea of many persons. They see the advantage of manners which are graceful and dignified, cordial and genial, sympathetic and kind, and they determine to adopt and recommend them. They do not reflect that such manners are the natural outflow of a benevolent. heart and a friendly feeling, and not to be counterfeited by an artificial semblance. What they nave to do is to cultivate. not manner, but reality: to cherish a living interest in the welfare and concerns of others, a warm feeling of sympathy, and a hearty desire to contribute to the general happiness—then the manner they so much admire will follow as naturally as the bloom on freshly gathered fruit.

How to Tell Eggs that are Eggs.

A good egg will sink in water. A boiled egg which is done will drv quickly on the shell when taken from the kettle. The boiled eggs which adhere to the shells are fresh laid. After an egg is laid a day or more, the shell comes off easily wheu boiled. A fresh egg has a lime-like surface to its shell. Stale. eggs are glassy and smooth of shell. - ' Eggs which have been packed in lime look stained and show the action of the lime on the surface. ~ Eggs packed in bran for a long time smell and taste musty. With the aid of the hands, or a piece of paper rolled in funnel-shape and held towanl the light, the human eye can look through an egg, shell and all. If the egg ia clear and golden in appearance when heltKto the ligtb, it is good; if dark or spotted, it is bad. The badness of an egg can sometimes be told by shaking it near the holder's ear,
