Pntriotism is no doubt a powerful
lever in urging a soldier to take desper
ate chances, but the late war proved
that there were other levers of equal
force. A New York lieutenant and
thirty-four men held possession of a
block house along the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad in 1802. One morning a
scout came in and reported that a force
of 150 Confederates was advancing to
capture the post. The lieutenant or
dered the men in line and thus addressed
them:
"Soldiers, the enemy is advancing
upon us I He will be here in half an
hour. We shall be outnumbered four
to one, but I appeal to your patriotism
to your love of country to your respect
for that dear old flag, to defend this
post to the last. Will you do it?"
"Lieutenant," said the sergeant, as he
stepped forward after an ominous si
lence, "we are too few and the Johnnies
too many. We shall all be killed or
captured, and the men won't stick. They
go for evacuating right away."
"Patriots and heroes," continued the
officer, after drawing a long breath, "we
have just received fresh rations of coffee,
sugar and bacon. We haven't been to
breakfast yet. If we evacuate we have
got to march twelve miles on empty
stomachs. If we remain and defend to the
last, I'll issue double rations as soon as
the last rob is driven oil". If you don't
want to fight for your country, 'let's fight
for a good, square meal."
Every hat was thrown up and every
man cheered, and twenty minutes later,
when the enemy appeared, he was greet
ed with such a hot reception that he
soon sounded the retreat.
When the Union forces under Nelson
made their stand at Franklin, the Con
federates had been tight after them for
several days, and it had been a march of
empty haversacks. As the Confederates
formed for battle many of the regiments
had been without food for twenty hours.
Their first attack, after a patriotic ad
dress, was speedily repulsed. Cleburne
led a part of the force making the sec
ond advance. As he rode along the lines
he saw the men chewing leaves from
the cherry and apple trees, and he said :
"Bravo Confederates, there is the en
emy. Behind those earth-works are
cannon and muskets, and men who know
how to use them. Behind those is a
big wagon-train with heaps of rations.
We've got to lick the enemy to get this
train, and if we don't get his rations
we'll have to fill up on yiass, for there
isn't a Confederate hard-tack within
twenty-five miles of Franklin. Follow
mo to glory and rations 1"
They followed him to the earth-works
and over them, but he uas killed and
the lines driven back. His men, how
ever, were the only oni's who mounted
the earth-works during that desperate
bnttle ; and it is an pen question
whether an oppeal to a soldier's hunger
won't make him fight as well as an ap
peal to his sentiment, Pree Press.
Educating Horses.
Ilorses can be educated to the extent
of their understanding as well as chil
dren, and can be easily damaged or
ruined by had management. .It is be
lieved that the great ditl'erence found in
horses as to habits of reliability comes
more from the different management of
men than from variance of natural dis
position in the animals. Horses with
mettle are more ea ily educated than
those of less or duli spirits, and are
more susceptible to ill-training, and
consequently may be good or bad, ac
cording to the education they receive.
Horses with dull spirits are not by any
means proof against bad management,
for in them may be found the most
provoking obstinacy, vicious habits of
different character that render them
almost entirely worthless. Could the
coming generation of horses in this
country be kept from their days of colt
hood to the age of five years in the
hands of good, careful managers, there
would be seen a vast difference in the
general character of tho noble animals.
If a colt is never allowed to get an
advantage, it will never know that it
possesses power that man cannot con
trol, and if made familiar with strange
ob,eets it will not bo skittish and ner
vous. If a horse is made accustomed
from his early days to have objects hit
on his heels, back and hips, he will pay
no attention to the giving out of har
ness or of a wagon running against him
at an unexpected moment. A gun can
be fired from the back of a horse, an
umbrella held over his head, a buffalo
robe thrown over his neck, a railroad
engine pass close by, his heels bumped
with sticks, and the animal take Jt all as
a natural condition of things, if only
taught by careful management that he
will not be injured thereby. There is a
great need of improvement in the man
agement of this noble animal less
beating and more of education.
WISE WORDS.
Prosperity is a blessing to the good,
but a curse to the evil.
He who seems not to himself more
than he is, is more than he seems.
When anger rushes unrestrained to
action, like a hot steed, it stumbles in
its way.
Bodily labor alleviates the pain of the
mind ; whence arises the happiness of
the poor.
The vanity of human life is like a
river constantly passing away, and yet
constantly coming on.
It is possible that a man can be so
hanged by love that one could not rec
ognize him to be the same person.
When you talk to women you must
choose between lying and displeasing
them. There is no middle course unless
you say nothing.
To pronounce a man happy merely
because he is rich, is just as absurd to
call a man healthy merely because he
has enough to eat.
No man ought to complain if the
world measures him as he measures
others. To measure one with his own
yard-stick may be hard, but is fair.
And when we are in yjrosperity we are
ready to think our mountain will never
be brought low, so when we are in
adversity we are ready to think that our
valley will never be filled up.
Fight hard against a hasty temper.
Anger will come, but resist it stoutly. A
spark may set a house on fire. A lit of
passion may give you cause to mourn all
your life. Never revenge an injury.
Happiness is evident to us in this life
by deliverance from evil. "Happy is
he who see the day I " 6aid a blind
man ; but a man who sees clearly does
not say so. "Happy ia he who is
healthy I " said an invalid. When he is
well he does not feel the happiness of
health.
FAKJf, (UM)ES ASD HOUSEHOLD.
The E(T. et of Drouglh.
The Courtiy Gentleman recommends
early planting in a rich soil as likely to
preserve vegetables from the effects of
drought. It is well known to farmers
that a serious check is often given to
vegetables which require water in their
first stages of growth by severe
droughts early in the season. Irriga
tion at such times is rarely practicable.
The best remedy, therefore, is to plant
enrly and give a well-enriched soil.
Early pli nting will often push the
plants ko far in growth that their roots
will sustain them in dry times. But
still more helpful is a rich soil in two
ways one by pushing the young plants
on, and the other by holding more
moisture than a thin soil can do. Very
enrly planting can be practiced only on
hardy plants. Tender ones are less in
jured by drought. Take the onion
crop for instance, which will bear very
early sowing. Nothing hurts it more
than a drought when the plants are the
size of goopequills. Hence the most
certain and heavy crops come from
early planting and rich soils. Weeds
are of course more or less fatal, but no
good cultivator need be advised to keep
a perfectly clean surface.
How lo Inrrcnue Yrudnule Itlnltrr in the
Moll.
The amount of vegetable matter in
the soil may be increased by various
methods ; one is by large applications
of barnyard manure, say fifty cords to
the acre. But this would bo very ex
pensive, and is out of the question in
common farming. It may be done by
putting on peat or muck, when these
are near to the fields. But this involves
a considerable outlay for labor in dig
ging the peat, and a still larger expense
in carting it, whether it first pass
through tho yards and stables or be
carted to the fields for conrDostinor or
spreading upon the surface to be plowed
in. Ua some farms tins may be the
cheaper method of supplying vegetable
matter to the soil. But "on others the
most economical method is the raising
of clover, to be fed off upon the land,
or to be turned in. If a ton of clover
may be worth '., as a fertilizer, tho
growing of a plant is a cheap method of
improving the land. Two tons for the first
crop and a ton for the second is not an un
common yield for land in good heart.
The roots of clover also add Ingelv to
the vegetable matter in the soil. The
first crop may be pastured, waiting
until the crop is in blossom, and then
turning in cattle enough to feed it off in
three or four weeks. They should be
kept constantly upon the field, that the
whole crop may be returned to the soil.
This will of course help the second
crop, which may be turned in with the
plow Roon after it is in blossom. If the
equivalent of three tons of dried clover
hay, and one ton of roots have grown
to the acre, about $:!6 worth of manure
have been added to the soil, and it has
been distributed more evenly than would
have been possible by any mechanical
process. There has been no expense
for carting or spreading peat, or for
composting. On the contrary there has
been tho equivalent of two tons of
clover-hay consumed upon the field,
worth, as fodder, 24. This will more
than pay the cost of seed, of plowing
twice, and other labor. Thisis generally
admitted to be the cheapest method of
increasing the vegetable matter and the
tertility of soils in common farming.
Aim tins it will be seen requires some
little capital.

It is recommended to soak seeds in
water that has been slightly acidified
with nitric acid. A little ammonia
added to the water will hasten germin
ation.
Eel grass is almost indestructible in
the hog-pen or barnyard, and yet can be
easily decomposed by composting with
quicklime or wood ashes, when it makes
a valuable fertilizer, as it contains one
third per cent, nitrogen, one per cent,
potash and a quarter of one per cent,
phosphoric acid.
Libels placed in linseed oil and
soaked will hold paint marks plain for
years.
Mixing salt with manures and com
posts will kill white grubs as well as
seeds of weeds. Afterward spread broad
cast and plow, harrow or cultivate into
the soil.
Tr'm trees in open weather. Scatter
all the wood ashes you can get under
tne peach trees anil cut back the new
growth one-half. Sow refuse salt and
brine broadcast under all fruit trees.
Grow more grass ; this recuperates
the laad, and at the same time vields a
profitable return.
Look out for lice on chickens or tur
keys as soon as tbev can run nicely. If
you don't you'll be sorry.
It is said that a strong tea made from
boiling sassafras roots used asaash
will kill lice ou cattle and horses.
Instead of fooling awav your time in
whitewashing hen-houses (on the out
side) or chicken -coops to kill lice, paint
them with kerosene. That will kill
lice every time.
All feeders who have studied the
habits of tho animals they feed have

Stnnghalt is an affection of the

However good the roosting-house may

the poultry can congregate during wind

A cow should have from fifteen to
twenty pounds of hay daily, with five
to ten pounds of corn-meal, in propor
tion to her size and capacity for eating
A cow of COO pounds will do well on
fifteen pounds of hay and six pounds of
meal. If the hay is cut and wetted and
the meal added to it, the food will be
better digested and more economically
used. One-third of the hay may be
given at noon, uncut. These rations are
proper for milking cows. Dry cows
may do well on fifteen pounds of hay
and two quarts of meal, and the cutting
maybe dispensed with if the labor is
thought to cost more than the fodder,
Kerosene will destroy the mealy bug,

Beet Salad. The new beets must
be thoroughly boiled nothing is worse
in the way of food than a half-cooked
beet When done cut them while hot
in rather thin slices and marinade them
that is, let them lie for an hour or
two in a mixture of two tablospoonfuls
oil, one spoon vinegar and a small pinch
of salt. Of course more than this must
be used if there is to be a large dish
of salad. When ready for sorving put
them in the salad dish with some very
young and tender leaves of uncooked
dandelion. Dress with oil, vinegar,
salt, and pepper in the usual way.
Lemon Cake. Beat to a cream one
cup of butter and three cups of pow
dered sugar. Add the yolks of five
eggs, previously well-beaten, the juice
and grated rind of one lemon, and a cup
of milk with one teaspoon of saleratns
(or baking powder) dissolved in it.
Then add the whites of the eggs beaten
to a stiff froth ; sift in four cups of flour
and bake.
Stewed Tomatoes. Take fine ripe
tomatoes and pour over them boiling
water, in order to loosen the skins.
Slip off tho skins and lay the tomatoes
in a dish with a little butter, salt and
pepper scattered over them. Set them
on the stove and let tnem cook siowiy
about fifteen minutes. Then take them
off and turn them. Add a little more
butter, and dredge over them a little
flour. Pour over them a scant cup of
milk to make a gravy ; set them back
on the stove to scald about ten minutes.
Filling fob Layer Cake. A deli
cious filling for layer cake is made in
this way: Take a cup of white sugar,
put it into a tin basin with enough
water to dissolve it, let it boil until it
will harden in cold water, have a cupful
of stoned and chopped raisius ready,
then beat the white of one egg into a
stiff froth, put with the raisins into the
boiling sugar, stir briskly, and while
warm put it between the layers of cuke,
which should be all ready, having been
taken out of the tins and laid on a cloth,
so that you may easily select one which
is nicely browned for the bottom of the
cake, and another very smooth one for
the tor).
IlnilNi liiiliI Hints.
Nothing is better to clean silver with
than alcohol and ammonia ; after rub
bing with this take a little whitening or
a soft cloth and polish in this way ; even
frosted silver, which is so difficult to
clean, may be easily made clear and
bright.
Silk neckties can be washed in rain
water, to one pint of which add a tea
spoonful of white honey and one of
hartshorn. Do not squeeze but let them
drip, and when nearly dry press between
folds of cloth.
When water has once been made to
boil the fire may be very much lessened,
as but little heat is required to keep it
at a boiling point. Ihere is no advan
tage whatever in making the water boil
furiously ; the heat will escape in steam
without raising the heat of the water.
A Rnco Between Geese ninl Turkeys.
In Percy Fitzgerald's " Life of George
IV." this humorous anecdote is told
During a convivial party at the Carlton
House Mr. Hanger designedly intro
duccd the subject of the traveling pow
ers of the turkey and the goose. The
Prince of Wales, who pla-ed great reli
ance on his judgment in subjects of this
nature, backed his opinion. A match
was made with Mr. Berkely of twenty
turkeys against twenty geese, for a dis
tance of ten miles, the race to be for
2,500; and then as Mr. Hanger and the
turkey party hesitated not to lay two to
one in favor of their birds, the prince
did tho same to a considerable amount,
not in the least suspecting that the
whole was a deep-laid plan to abstract a
sum of money from his pockets. The
prince deputed Mr. Hanger to select
twenty of the most wholesome and
high-feathered birds which could be
procured, and on the day appointed he
and his party cf turkeys, aud Air.
Berkley and his party of geese, set oil
to decide the match. For the first
three hours everything seemed to indi
cate that the turkeys would be the win
ners, as they were then two miles in ad
vance of the-geese; but as night came
on tho turkevs began to stretch out
their necks toward the branches of the
trees which lined the sides of the road.
In vain the prince attempted to urge
them on with his pole, to which a bit ol
red cloth was attached, in vain Mr.
Hanger dislodged one from its roosting-
place only to see three or four others
comfortably perching among the
branches: in vain was the barley strewn
upon the road. In the meantime the
geese came waddling on, and in a short
time passed the turkeys, whose parly
were all busy among the trees attempt
iug to dislodge the birds; but further
progress was found impossible, and the
geese were declared the winners.
Wealth in Wool.
The United States census of 1810,
which was the first one wheie elements
other than that of population were in
troduced, shows twenty-four woolen
factories that spun vara, and 9,258,209
yards of woolen cloth woven m families,
valued at 84,413,000. In 1800 woolen
establishments had increased to 2,020
employing 40,000 work-people of vari
ous grades, and producing goods valued
at $07,300,000 annually. The demand
for blankets and clothing for soldiers
during the civil war caused a general
advance in prices, and a corresponding
increase in factories, so that in 1870
persons employed in the manufacture
numbered 97,000, who produced goods
valued at 177,000,000.
The demand for woolen fabrics natur
ally increases with the population. Since
1M6 this country has imported wool
either manufactured or in the raw, to
the value of over 1,200,000,000, and for
the past four years, in the aggregate,
8170,000,000 has been brought in, while
the export has been comparatively
timing.
In 1875 the total duties on wool and
woolen textures amounted to 30,914,
030, which is the largest annual revenue
the government had received on these
articles, with the exception of those of
the four years previous to 1840.
By this exhibition it will be seen that
the wool-grower in the United States
meets with a remunerative reward for
his labor. In fact, it is another evi
dence that almost any legitimate occu
pation in this country "pavs" when
properly attended to. Keuo York Com.'

STJXDAY READING.
Bprnk a Good Word.
If you say anything about a neighbor
or friend, or even a stranger, say no ill.
It is a Christian and brotherly charity
to suppress our knowledge of evil of an
other, unless tho evil have such rela
tion to society that our higher public
duty compels us to bear accusing wit
ness. And if it be a true charity to keep
our knowledge of such evil to ourselves,
how much more should we refuse to
spread evil report of one another. Dis
creditable as the fact is, it is by far the
commonest tendency to suppress the
good we know of our neighbors and
friends. We act in this matter as though
we felt that by pushing our fellows
down or back a peg we were putting
ourselves up and forward. Wo are
jealous of commendation unless we get
the larger share. Social conversation
as known to every observer, is largely
made up of what is best understood by
the term scandal. It would be difficult
to find a talkative group, of either sex,
who could spend an evening or an hour
together without evil speech of some
body. " Blessed are tho peacemakers,"
is not the maxim by which we are chiefly
governed in our treatment of personali
ties. Better a thousand times stand or
sit dumb than to open our lips never so
eloquently in the disparagement of
others. hat we should do in this, as
in all our human relations, is to practice
the golden rule. If wo do unto others
as we would that others should do unto
us we shall be exceedingly careful not
to volunteer ill words about them.
Where other than a good word is to be
;pokcn, let it be spoken to the person
concerned, that he may know your
motive is not idle, cowardly or sinister,
and that he may have a chance to de
fend himself.

of Howling Green, Ya., writes under date of
April 4, 11. Ho my; " 1 firmly believe that
Bnll,tiim if tnken in time mid proper care be
taken of the patient both in suitable food and
AI.I.EN 8 l.VNO jjai.sam will niKl hub cureii con-
clothing. Six years ago my mother was at
tacked with pneumonia, me atieniini(i pnysi
cian 'some time after' told nie tliat the dis
eHO had settled on her Lungx. and that she
had the consumption. Not believing that a
permanent cure could he effected, but thinking
I mitrlit be able to get an expectorant not. con
taining opium, winch would ti flora some relict,
1 inipiired nf a druggist nt Itiehmond, Va., if
he had nny medicine not containing opium
that was a good expectorant. He them recom
mended Allen's Lung Balsam, which I pur
chased and induced niv mother to ry. Before
ilie had taken the Hist 'bottle the improvement
in her condition wan mi marked that 1 purchased
iln-..n mnie buttles. 1 he attending ulivsieiaii,
seeing the beuelii inl effects, recommended its
continued use, and in about twelve months her
lungs were proitonneiM emeu. 1.111111 my
recommendation many others who had the
consumption have been cured. 1 think you
can claim for your medicine the following:
Expectoration without irritation, ami Healing
of the lungs bv keeping them free from foi eign
substance s. thus arp -tiiii; and curing this dread
disease." Mr. Digges savs he writes because he
wants it known that Allen's Lung Balsam is
doing good.
