I reeolkwt, in burner div*,
I loved A mmdwn with eye• |
H<* sty E WAS pentle, ki d her hand
Exactly for.ned lbs proper eiac.
Her voice ia csdetx-o had the sound
An eddy nukes iw mossy nook.
And when she spokw oo me. I ttianght,
With sUphllJrMtra interest shook.
Thus dawning of sweet love began—
l>'iphifnl tremblings in my cheet
p. 'retold the bliss to cenie at no-ai.
When all the truth had been eonfesssd.
One charming day when larks were high.
And we were on the walk alone,
I thon hi that Providence had marked
The h<wrr especially our own.
I told her in few worda my love;
She answered with accepting tear ;
And just before lhe v aline toes.

snv* of the vahu- of eob meal for stock,
that he would as soon have ashes as tin
meal.

Praoioal Farmerjm&*i —" After the corn
is dropped and covered, and brtor* it i
up, apply on the surface of each hill,
about one tahlhspoonful of ground salt.
Unless it is edHvdie acid, nothing makes
worms squirm like salt."
CORK BREAD. —Take four enps soiu
Riiik, one of these jvartly filled with cream;
\|Me egg, a little salt, two even teaspoon
tnls pulverised soda : mix the soda with
a vcrv little corn meal, and stir all togeth
er till it foams ; then add corn meal till
thin batter is obtained, aud pour into hot
tins, oiled, an inch deep, and Wko in a

NKRVOTO OR STCE REXD.VCH*. —Sever
al years since I was much afflicted
with nervous headache. Seme oue told
me it was occasioned by drinking green
tea, it acting as poison to some constitu
tions. Alter li at I drenk Mack tea, aid
have never been troubled with such head
aches since. Other cause* ma,!- produce
nervous headaches, of course, but I be
lieTe this is one.

FOOT- ROT IN SHEET.—I BARE tried this
-with success:—Whenever the disease
appears let the feet be washed and the
hoof pared off as mnch as possible (and
not cause it to bleed), and let the sheep
stand upon a dry stable floor, sprinkled
with lime, for four hours. After this
keep them in a dry pasture, and there
will he no further danger. Or, after the
foot has been pared, apple spirits of tur
pentine and blue ritrol, in equal parts,
bind a cloth over the foot, and let it re
main fonr days. Sheep that are diseased
should kept from the flock as the dis
order is infectious.— E. F. W., HARDIN
CO., I'LWA.
P.OWING. —Start the plows the mo
ment the gTound is dry enough, but not
before ; and where it can be done, har
row and sow as fast as you plow. Do
not wait to finish the field. We know
there is some loss of time in changing
work so often, but its m thing compared
with the extra time and labor required
to prepare plowed land that hai been ex
posed to heavv rains, and then bad to
lie for several ilavs until the surface wa
crasti-d over before it was dry enongh
to harrow. Our springs are so short,
and the weather so uncertain, that our
rule shon'd be never to leave the field
nntil ad the land that has been plowed
is harrowed and sown.
Sorr RECIPE. —Put four pounds of
fresh beef in six quarts of cold water,
and let it boil slowly for five or six hour*.
(The lady correspondent who furnishes
this recipe usually boils her mest the pre
ceding dav.) Then take it from the pot
and partially skim off the top ; grate, or
finely slice, one large or two small car
rots ; slice two or three onions, one tur
nip and two potatoes: salt and black pep
per to taste ; add one-quarter of a red
pepper, one tablespoon of summer savo
ry ; let these ingredients boil slowly to
gether foi nearly two hours. Ju't before
taking up for the table mix a tablespoon
of floor iu a little cold water ; stir into
the soap, letting it boil up twice, and
your soup is done.
POTTED BEET.— Take eight pounds of
lean tump steak, put it into a stone jar,
with a teacup of boiling water, a level
table-spoonful of salt, a tea-spoonfnl of
pepper, and a few allspice, with one on
ion chopped fine. Cover with paste and
bake for three hours. Turn out 11 the
liquor, and take ont the meat into the
chopping-bowl. Ponnd it fine with the
pestle ; season with half a teacup of cat
sup. Taste it, nod if not highly seasoned
add more salt and pepper. When per
fectly fine press into mould or small cups,
and if desired to lie kept for six weeks,
cover the tops with melted butter so
thickly that no meat is seen. Wet the
mou ds or ftps with water, and the beef
will turn cut in form.
How TO BRIGHTER STRAW MATTTXO
AND OIL-CLOTH. —Wash it twice daring
the Summer with wilt and water, say
about a pint of salt dissolved in about a
pailful of warm, soft water, drying the
m ithng qnickly with a soft cloth. The
salt will prevent it from turning yellow.
Far away, and from quite an opposite
quirter, we hear another friendly voice
begging us to say to onr readers ibat af
ter oil-cloths are scrubbed and dried,
they should be rubbed all over with a
cloth dipped in milk. "You've no idea,"
says our frieod, "how brightly the col
ors come out Husband says it's the al
bumen in the milk, but I think it's the
v ry thin film of gree*e deposited.
Minntime our oil-cloths shine the whole
year round."
FRXDUTO THE LIVE WEIGHT or CATTLE
BT MFASURFM EXT. —In answer to a corre
spondent, the London Fiefd says : Take
tlie length of the back from the junction
of the cervical and dorsal processes to
the tail, and the girth immediately be
hind the elbow, sqnare tbe girth", and
multiply the remit by the leDgth, and

Country Head*.
One of the greatest grievance* that
landholder* have to hear. narthe .twr
•COM Par*ft, I a the want of good road-.
Tuxes are generally high for the very
purpose of koepiup the country roads in
repair, lnt there in a -runt of capacity
on the part of thorn- who undertake tin
work to do it systematically, or with any
degree of soioutiflo skill. We do not
know that we can throw any light upon
the Mibjo-t in the brief njauv whish we
loan at preneut apare to it. and we refer
to it now to put upon record a hint
which we find in the (Jfrmmtoim Wit*
</cir/>A, from Mr. \V. Browu, of New
llamp-hire. whioh we hope mu\ he taken
| hold of and in)proved upon ly public
spirited citiseun in every locality where
there in an opportunity to ahow human!-
i tarian priuciph-a. We will tell it ia Mr.
i ltrown a own wools:
"A stouo which had baffled a number
of highway surveyor*, being directly in
the horse |uth, and Wing of such a shape
that a horse was liable to sustain icriou*
injury, vet no one en red to attempt ii*
removal. A great dent of labor wi*
sjw-nt iu covering it up. but in u short
time it would reappear as bad as ever.
The land around was underlaid with
lodge, and here it aamo to the surface.
Duly by great expense it was thought
could it be removed. One morning I
took a man with me, with powder and
drills, atul a firm resolution to remove
it at any expense. We succeeded in
our undertaking. At a cost of en/A/ tvf
to the town we removed a boulder of
slab- stone weighing about Ave hundred
pounds. I give this instance to si ow
how little lalor will remove some of the
worst obstructions which have IHH-II al
lowed to reiuuiu Iwcause no one had
ntb-uipb-vl removal in good earnest."
A crowbar could 1H used t> advantage
iti r-ui-iug a stone out of the bed of the
road, but uo one seems to consider it
his busiuess to </u it; the road mender
never dreams that it is in his contract to
attend to it and, consequently, year
after year the stone remains, endanger
ing the lives of passengers by the stuui
bling of their horses ; and the wear and
tear to carriage wheels is veiv serious.
Another very serious grit vance i noted
by the same writer as prevalent iu his
State— that of the runuing al large of
cuttle upon the highways. This is a
sore evil elsewhere, as formers iu this
section can fully prove. All roads are
made on laud either donated to lhe poli
tic, or sold or condemned for that ex
{irvas purpose, aud it has beu decided,
we believe, in our courts of law for that
purpose only—the landholder from whom
the body of the road has been takeu is
still the sole owner of the soil for all
other purposes; and, whilst he cannot
do aught to interrupt the freest trave
npon it, vet any er all other privileges
lieloug to him, and no one lias a right to
turn their stock upon the road to feed
it upon the grass which la-longs to an
other. The evil would not be so griev
ous were it not for the fact that the
cattle, l>eing thus left to roam about,
when finding their supplies becoming
scanty on the roa 'side, Iw-gin to jump
or knock down the fences to get into the
more tempting fields before them, while
the hogs rooting under the l>et of post
and rail fences, will, iu a single day or
night, do more harm to the crop than
their carcasses are worth.
STICK TO THE BROOMSTICK. —Did yon
over see a woman throw a stone at a hen?
It is one of the most ludicrous scenes in
everyday life. We recently observed
tho proc >9*—indeed, we paid more at
tention than the hen did, for she did not
mind it at all. and laid an egg the next
dav as if nothing had happened. In
fact, thathn will know for the first time
that she served in the capacity of a tar
get. The predatory fowl had invaded
the precincts of the flower bed. and was
:udustrio"-ty peeking ami scratching for
uiritous seed or the early worm,
onssfuilv unconscious of impending dau
ger. The lady now appears upon th>
>crue with a broom. This she droj*
and picks up a rocky fragment of the
Silurian age, and then makes her first
mistake—they all do it—of seising the
projection with the wrong hind. Then
with malice aforethought, she makes the
further blunder of swinging her arms
perpendicularly instead of horizontally
—thereupon the atone flies into the air,
describing an irregular elliptical curve,
of the earth as far from the hen as the
thrower stood at the time, in a course
due west from the same, the hen tueti
tearing by the compiss north-northeast
by half east. At the second attempt the
stone narrowly missed the head of the
thrower herself, who seeing that any fur
ther attempt at the kind would he suici
dal, did what she might have done first,
st tried alter the hen with on old and fa
miliar weapon. The moral of which is :

THE GNTTSBRBO BATTt-EFiixp.— The
Gettysburg Battlefield Memorial Aswn
elation has decided to proceed imm< di
atelv to indicate the positions on the
fiii I occupied by the Near York void Min
nesota troops during the ha'.tle, to the
extent of the appropriations made by the
L-si.slatnres of these states. Proposals
will be immediately invited to erect gran- j
ite obelisk*, which are to bear indication
inscriptions The latter are to be super
vised by committees of New York nod
Minnesota military officers and citizen*.
The New York appropriation is nearly
large enou'-'h to complete the indication
of the positions occupied, and the im- ]
portatit part performed by the New York
soldiers and officers. The indication of
positions occupied by the troops of other
States will be commenced as soon as the
requisite appropriations are inada by the j
different legislatures.
A Novelty in Telegraphing.
Do you want to know bow the news
papers succeeded in getting the detail"
of the Cambridge boat race so promptly
into tvpe ? says a correspondent writing
from England. Well arrangements were
made by the proprietor of the Cenirnl
Ntrt to pay out a cable from one of the
steamers which followed the racing boots.
Permission to place the cable and pay it
out from the Cambridge steamboat was
readily uccorded. There i* no novelty in
telegraphing through cables aa they are
lieiug jNiycd ont, but there is no prece
dent for performing such a work at the
pace of the racing lx>ats. By such means
n pretty full report of the race was pub
-lis bed in London witniu a few minute* of
its termination. It was terribly cold re
porting—at times almost mil ramble to
we for tbe falling snow. On a more fa
vorable day the boat-race cable will prove
even a greater success.

THE CASE OF FANNV HTDE.— Ktrange
stories are current regarding the division
of (lie jurors in the ease of Fanny Hyde
charged with shooting Watson. It is
stated tlmt ten of the iren, for whoso
verdict the Court waited twenty-nine
hours, were in favor of acquittal; the
other two Iwing of opinion that the
w oman w is guilty of manslaughter in the
third degree. The most singular part o!
the stor.v is however, that the former
pleaded hard with the latter for a unani
mous verdict of manslaughter in the
fourth degree, lor which the law pro
vides a fine of SI,OOO. This fine the ten
jurors were willing to pay nt once, HI
order to secure the release of the pri
soner. If this statement 11 true, it in
creases the romance of the case.
AN EXECUTION. —There was a fearful
seen© nt an execuMon in Fentress County,
Tenn. The weight of the doomed man
snapped the rope, and he fell to the
ground. The sheriff and his guard seized
him, put a rope round hi* neck, threw it
over the gallows, and drew him np. He
hung thus a couple of minutes, when at
tempting to draw him higher, the rope
again broke. Onc.e more lie was seized
and hoisted, the blood running from hi*
mouth and nose, and his shroud nearly
torn off. Thin time the rope proved suffl
cient anil the man was strangled to death.
A Persian emigre, recently arrived at
Bombay, slates that his father was 122
years old, and delighted in 150 grnnd-
Hons and granddaughters. After some
years the train extended to such a length
that the great grandpa could not even
make out who it was addressed him by
the name of grandpa. His usual que*,
tion wns, "My dear, which of my daugh
ters' sons are yon ?"
An octogenarian lowan having deeded

AN Isat BAHCKQRWITIOII. —Mrs. Ruth,
who was recently tried for complicity in
the murder of lier husband, and was ac
quitted, has shown her appreciation of
what is due to the assaulted female na
ture and depleted purse, bv bringing
suit against the Mound City Mutual Rife
Insurance Company, of St. L>uis, to re
cover §I,OOO on a policy on the life of
her husband, who died April 27, 1871.
The recovery of the money is stoutly re
sisted by the compsnr, and it now re
mains to be seen whether a violent death
is to lie reckoned in the rnme category
with suicide, so far a* insurance compan
ies are concerned.
CHINESE JUSTlCE. —Justice was admin
istrated with careful sciuliny, and com
mercial honor was maintained with unus
ual severity in China, one thousand ycata
ago, if we maf ctcdit a writer who says
the bankilupt w*n thrown into pnaon, his
firo|.crty dtvideii among his creditors. It
ic was f< un 1 to have concealed anv thing,
he was put to death ; if innocent, he was
set free, but was forbidden ever after to
tngagc in I Aide. Only the wise, learned,
and honest were selected as judges, and
the chtcl justice of China was revered lor
equity and his discretion.
