Signs of Rain.
BY DOCTOR JEN IC ER.
[The following signs of rain are quite
philosophical and, stated as they are here,
they constitute a literary curiosity that
well deserve preservation. The author is
supposed to be the same person who dis
covered the art of vaccinnationl
The hollow winds begin to blow,
The clouds look black, the glass is low ;
The soot falls down, the spaniels sleep,
The spiders from their . cobweb creep ;
Last night the sun went pale to bed,
The moon in haloes hid her head;
The boding shepherd heaves a sigh
For see ! a rainbow spans the sky ;
The walls are damp, the ditches small;
Closed is the pinkeyed primpernal;
The squalid toads at dusk are seen,
Slowly crawling o'er the green ;
•
Loudquacks the ducks, the peacocks cry,
Hark how the chairs and tables crack .
Old Betty's joints are on the rack;
And see yon rooks, howodd their flight,
They imitate the gliding kite ;
Or seem precipate to fall,
As if they felt the piercing ball ;
How vaatless are the sporting swine;
The busy flies disturb the kine ;
Low o'er the grass the swallow wings,
The cricket, too, how sharp he sing,
Puss on the hearth, with velvet paws,
Sets wiping o'er her whiskered jaws;
Tho wind unsteady veers around,
Or settling in the south is found ;
The whirling winds the dust obeys,
And o'er the rapid eddy plays;
The leech disturbed, is newly risen,
Quite to the summit of his prison ;
'Twill surely rain, I see with sorrow,
Our jaunt must be put off to morrow."
American Farming.
We have noted frequently, as the ocea
sion arose, how far superior the American
farmer is in every respect over the Euro
pcan ; and how much of this superiority is
due to the maintainenee of purely American
institutions. The subject presses itself
continually on ourattention, in connection
with events as they almost daily rise. Here
is a letter before us from Palestine, giving
a' graphic account of the agriculture of
that region. The people themselves, set
ting aside their peculiar views and prac
tices, are by no means a bad set. They
are remarkable sober ; indeed, they affect
a contempt fbr European civilization, on
account of the prevailing drinking-habits
of these countries. They are almost to a
remarkably degree, and then their indus
try in their own peculiar way is far super
ior to that of Italy, Spain, or some other
south European peoples. And then land
is comparatively cheap. In many places
it requires irrigation ; but on the whole
the natural advantages are really superior
to much that we have in our own western
country, while the moral element in many
respects is equal to what we often find
among the pioneers of the far west.
But there is nothing to stimulate ambi
lion'; nothing to make a man look higher.
He is born a laborer, he is a laborer, he
must die r , laborer. Every man must
know his place, and he must keep it. There
can be but little invention in a society like
this. The rulers are satisfied, the poor are
satisfied ; that is, they may grumble and
fret, but they have a sort of an idea that
the sorrows and sufferings are all right in
the sense that what is to be will be, and so
they must endure without effort for any
better things. It may be that the mer
chants are satisfied, though this would be
a remarkable phenomenon ; but these are
by no means a numerous class, and are
confined chiefly to those who send the farm
products to England and bring back for
the richer ones these goods which England
loves so well to sell, but which these Pal
estine people might just as well make for
themselves if their civilization would let
them understand it.
Sa we find farming pretty much as it
was in Noah's days.. Wheat is mostly
brought in on the backs of camels, and
trodden out by the feet of mules, though
here and there two and three horse thresh
ers have been introduced from England.
Maize is cut off below the cars, and the
grain tramped out in the same way. The
best farms now have at least the modern
fan for blowing out of the chaff. The
granery is simply a hole dug in the ground,
and lined with chaff to keep out the dirt.
The English plows are yet unpopular.
They cut a forked stick. On one end of
the fork they put a broad iron shoe, like a
cultivator-tooth, and a pair of oxen is
hitched to the end of the other fork, the
plowman takes hold of an end beyond
where the forks unite. The clumsy thing
weighs about thirty pounds, and even there
costs three or four dollars to get ready to
use. It is continually broken, and a con
siderable portion of the working-time is
lost in patching the thing. The farm-men
work from sunrise to sunset, the actual
day being about the same as ours here in
Philadelphia, though the climate is much
warmer than ours. For all this long ser
vice compensation is twenty-five cents per
day, and harvest time they get a half
bushel of wheat extra. They grind their
own corn, mixing wheat and maize together,
making a sort of black bread, which is
eaten with onions or cactus berries, and
this forms almost their sole food.
We talk about our taxes, our corrup
tions, our robberies by men in public po--
sitions, who in some respects instead of
our servants become masters. We are bad
enough in these respects, we may even be
worse than we are thought to be, but we
are a long way from being in a condition
like this.
We take up this Palestine case because
it represents a very different phase of civ
ilization to that very often referred to.
We look at Italy, Spain, Ireland, and sim
ilar places which are under a severe theo
cracy, or else, to these countries where
drunkenness, murder, robbery, or similar
crimes prevail, and look to the existence of
these facts as the cause of the want of
progress ; but hero is a people who are
free from the particular vices, and who are
not so despotically ruled as regards mental
choice, and who are in so far as their ma
terial prosperity is concerned, just as
bad as they.
The American farmer has his troubles.
lle does well when he tr . 3by every means
in his power to make these troubles less;
but with all the worst of these he is a thou
sand times better off than the farmers i of
other countries, whose ,ystem of govern
ment is so very much inferior to his own.

IffSTERY SOLVED!
THE GREAT SECRET OF THE WONDERFUL
SUCCESS OF VEGETINE
It strikes at the root of Disease by purifying the blood,
restoring the liver and kidneys to healthy action, invig
orating the nervous system.
RELIABLE EVIDENCE.
MR. H. H. STEVENS:-
Dear Sir—l will most cheerfully add my testimony to
the great number you have already received in favor of
your great and good medicine, VEGSTINE, fur Ido not
think enough can be said in its praise, for I was troubled
over thirty years with that dreadful disease, Catarrh, and
had such bad coughing spells that it would seem as though
I could never breathe any more, and VIGETINZ has cured
me ; and I do feel to thank God all the time there is so
good a medicine as TEGETINE, and I also think it one of
the beet medicines for coughs and weak sinking feelings
at the stomach, and advise everybody to take VSGETINE,
for I can assure them it is one of the best medicines that
ever was. MRS. L. GORE,
Car. Magozinc and Walnut SL,.,
Cambridge, Mass.
THOUSANDS SPEAK,
VEGETINE is acknowledged and recommended by physi
cians and apothecaries to be the best purifier and cleanser
of the blood yet discovered, and thousands speak in its
praise who have been restored to health.
REPORT FROM A PRACTICAL
CHEMIST AND APOTHECARY.
•
Dear Sir—This is to certify that I have sold at retail
154 t/., dozen (1852 bottles) of your VEGETINE since April
I'2, and can truly say that it has given the beat sat
isfaction of remedy for the complaints for which it is re
commended that I ever sold. Scarcely a day passes with
out some of my customers testifying to its merits ou
themselves or their friends. I am perfectly cognizant of
several cases of Scrofulous Tumors being cured by VEGE
TINS alone in this vicinity.
Very respectfully yours,
AI GILMAN,
40S Broadway.
To 11. 11. STEvEss, ESQ.
YEGETINE
WILL CLEANSE SCROFULA FROM
THE SYSTEM.
HONEST OPINION.
MR. 11. R. STF.VINS
Dear Sir—This is to show that my eon was taken sick
in January, 1164, with scrofula, which came out in large
sores and ulcers on his lege and hip. His leg was swelled
more than twice its natural size. lie bad several doctors
of high standing in their profession—two from Bosten and
three from Charlestown—without getting a bit better. He
was obliged to lie wherever he was placed, for he had no
use of his limbs whatever. When we had given up all
hopes of his living we were told to try VEG.TINZ, the great
blood remedy ; and he had taken it but a short time before
we could see a great change. The sores run so bad that
we had to change the cloths four or five times a day.—
Still, he was getting better ; for he could move his limbs
and help himself a little. He was soon able to sit up in
bed, and, by constant use of VIP - MINE, it has cured him.—
Ile has a lame leg, which he will probably have fur life ;
but we all honestly believe, if we had used VEGETINE
before we had bothered with those doctors, it would have
saved the use of his leg, and restored it to natural health.
I hope all these troubled with Scrofula will read this ten
timoney of me and my sun, who is now well, and able to
speak for himself.
CATHARINE MAHONEY,
DANIEL MAHONEY,
19 Trenton St., Charlestown, Mass.
May 10, 1072.
The above plain but honest statement conclusively
shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects of the
VEGETINE in Scrofula.
VEGETINE i 8 acknowledged by all classes of people to be
the best and most reliable blood purifier in the world.
VEGETINE IS SOLD BT ALL DRUGGISTS.

SOMETHING OF INTEREST TOTHE
OLD FOLKS, ANDITO THE BOYS
AND GIRLS.
THE BOSTON .JOURNAL. in a recent issue
says: "Picture to yourself what a magazine for
children ought to be—how bright and winning in
contents, how pure and stimulating in teaching,
how resplendent with pictures, and then turn
over the pages of St. Nicholas, and you will find
your ideal realized."
THE CHICAGO INTER—OCEAN:isays: St.
Nicholas is an institution of which Young and
Old America are as proud as England is of Punch.
A house without St. Nicholas," continues the
writer, "does not deserve to own any buys and
girls; no dog should wag its little tail while pres
sing its noise through the area railings, empha
tically, we would observe that should the sun Cost -
&send to shine upon that house, his solar majesty
would make a big mistake."
The first volume of St. Nicholas was a surprise
even to the public that heartily welcomed it. num
ber by number. Newspaper critics expressed en
thusiastic approval ; children and parents were
alike delighted, and congratulatory letters from
distinguished men and women Poured in upon
the sublishers and editors, CHARLES DUDLEY
WARNER wrote: "I do not see how it can be
made any better, and if children don't like it, it is
time to change the kind of children in this coun
try ;" WHITTIER, our great poet, wrote: "It
is little to say of this magazine that it is the best
child's periodical in the world;" and words of
hearty commendation came across the ocean from
such earnest workers and popular favorites of the
young as GEO. MACDONALD, CHRISTINA
ROSSETTI, and CANON KINGSLEY.
Beautifully bound, superbly illustrated, and
filled with good things from the best writers (in
cluding three long serial stories,) the first volume
of St. Nicholas, complete in itself, is a finer Christ
mas gift for girls and boys to-day than any single
book in the market, excepting
Which, with its magnificent pictures, its two com
plete serials, and its innummerable shorter sto
ries, sketches, poems, fairy tales, rhymes and jin
gles, bits of wisdom, its French, German and
Latin stories—its fun and its pussies, Jack-in-the
pulpit, the Letter-box, &C., &c., is even more su
perbly attractive.
ST. NICEIOLAS for 1874 and 1875, 4
For the convenience of libraries, and because
many children find the two large volumes for '74
and '75 rather bulky to handle, we have hod
these twenty-four numbers bound in FOUR ELE
GANT VOLUMES, and inclosed in a neat box,
under th) general title of
THE ST. NICIIOLAS LIBRARY.
These four volumes are sold for LS, being only
two dollars a volume—a beautiful and valuable
Christmas present for an entire tamily of young
folks.
THE NEW YORK TRIBUNE says "In the
avalanche of immoral literature that threatens
the children, some strong, vitally wholesome, and
really attractive magazine is required for them,
and St. Nicholas has reached a higher platform,
and commands for this service wider resources in
art and letters, than any of its predecessors or
contemporaries."
THE SUNDAY—SCHOOL TIMES says: "A
cleaner, purer, more trustworthy periodical for
children, cannot be named. The magazine does
not claim to be religious, but it is on the side of
all that is true and good, from beginning to end."
The religious press all over the country heartily
commends ST. NICHOLAS, and virtually echoes the
opinion of the New York Christian Union, that it
is" A DELIGHTFUL MAGAZINE FOR ALL
CHILDREN BETWEEN FIVE AND EIGHTY
SEVEN."
Promises even greater attractions than the pre;
vious volumes. A strong feature of the new vol
ume is an AMERICAN SERIAL SKORY,
"THE BOY EMIGRANTS,"BYNOAH
BROOK Y,
Giving the adventures of a party of boys on their
long journey across the plains, with a vivid por
traiture of their LIFE IN CALIFORNIA DUlt-
ING TIIE DAYS OF THE GOLD-FEVER. Mr.
Brooks brings to this work, in addition to his well
known literary gifts, a thorough familiarity with
the features of that wild country and the people
then flocking toward it. What he has to say of
them is pervaded with a subtle and intense savor
of reality that enables the reader to follow the
characters in their adventures with a positive
sense of companionship. The contagion of the
"gold-fever ;" the great difficulties and perils
which beleaguered their journey across the plains
and mountains, and finally the adventurous, half
civilized, and yet, in a certain rude way, poetic
life in the mines of California, aro all described
with wonderful truthfulness and skill. Add to
this the elevated tone pervading the work, and the
irresistible attraction wnich such a narrative pos
sesses for boys, the value of this stirring, healthy
serial becomes evident.
There is to be another and shorter serial, begin
ning in January and running through three nutn
hers :
"JON OF ICELAND," BY BAYARD
A delightful vivid story of an Icelandic boy's
career, full of incidents, which would happen in
no other country, and graphically touching upon
the customs, life, and general features of that
strange land.
TIIE BEST GENERAL READDIG for boys
and is insured by a list of present and promised
contributors, among whom are :
William Cullen Bryant, George .Mac-
Donald, Christina Rossetti, Louisa
colt, J. T Trowbridge, T. B. Aldrich,
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Abby Morton
Diaz, Harriet Prescott Spo f ford, Donald
G. Mitchell, H. H, Edmund C. Stedman,
Lucy Larcom, Charles Dudley Warner,
Bret Harte, Frank R. Stockton, Eliza
beth Alters W Higginson, Lucre
tia P. Hale, Prof R. Proctor, Mrs.
Oliphant and Rev. Edward Eggleston.
Special papers are secured or promised, viz.;
Astronomy for Young Folks (Prof. Proctor) ;
Chapters en Windsor Castle and English History
(Mrs. Oliphant) ; Talk With Girls (Mrs. A. D. Y',
Whitney, H. H., Louisa M. Alcott, Susan Cool

(Marion Harland, author of "Contmon Sense in
the Household"). Also, Incidents of American
History, Practical Handwork for Boys and Girls,
Sketches of Adventure and Travel, Fairy Tales,
and Stories of Home Life. A Young Contributors'
department is to be added to the well-know and
approved Regular Features ; and in short, the
Magazine will be made as useful, lively, and en
tertaining as the purest and best writers and ar
tists can make it.
Some of the Finest Works of the Great Painters
have been engraved for St. Nicholas, and its il
lustrations fur 1876 will surpass anything ever yet
attempted in Juvenile literature.

It is universally rewarded with one atd the
same report, viz: That it does all it promises. It
is a purely Vegetable Compound, and will Dever
do an animal any harm. It is compounded upon
strictly chemical scientific principles, looks differ
ent, smells different, tastes different, and is differ
ent from any one Cattle or Horse Powder in ex
istence.
As a medicine it will cure all the ordinary dis
eases of Horses, Cows and Pigs. It will keep an
animal in good, sound, healthy condition, and
above all, it will make an increase upon the ani
mal product of over 25 per cent.
The cow to which it is fed, will give from one to
two pounds of butter per week more on the same
food. The Beef Cattle will fatten in the same pro
portion, sooner and better, and the Hog will thrive
to the astonishment of those who try it. All we
ask is a fair trial, and our word will be verified.
