The Mattered Veteran 'Poor

East Tenuessee, ai a battered veterau iu
blue appeared at her door and weekly ask
ed for a cup of cold water ; 'poor soldier !
I kuow iu reasou that you will be powerful
glad to yet a cup of cold water, not to speak
of a little suthin' to mix with it.'
'Thank you, iuu:u ; but I beloug to the
Daughters of Teuiperaec, aud cannot driuk,

'Forty mile ! the laws have massy 1 How
could you do it ? Why, it would kill my
mule.
lt is very hard ; but we get used to it.
I wouldn't have minded it if we had had
auy thing to eat.'
'Sakes alive I Do come in aud sit down.
Poor soldier.'
The good old lady brought out a black
bottle, from which the battered veteran
poured a teaspoonful into a glass of water,
and took a vigorous pull at the bottle when
her back was turned.
Then she placed before him a subslautial
supper of ham and eggs, and corn-bread
aud coffee, upou which he advanced in gal
lant style. .
Aud you are mighty young to be a sol
diering,' she said, looking at him benignly
over her peclacles.
Yes, mum ; I am the oiily son of my
widowed mother ; but my country is only

'Through the hcail? law(ul sakes!
Didn't it kill you?'
Not quite. The iuteiual mumJe was
cnetreted longitudinally and exreavasated
with varicose veins ; but the bullet ranged
aero the left lobe of the arachnoid artery,
producing a comminuted fracture of the
cerebellum, aud causing a lesion of the
libula, and that delayed my recovery.
You don't mean to say that you lived
through all that ?'
1 vas spared, mum, to be an humble
monument of the mercy of Providence.'
'Should think so. What was that noise ?
It sounded like somebody down in the cel

that you will make a good use of it. I will

As the last rays of the setting sun lighted
up the face of that battered veteran, they
shone upou two big tears that slowly trick
led down either cheek, making miniature
canals through the dust . that coaled bis
epidermis. He walked up the road until
ho was joined by several more battered
veterans, who came out of a corner of the
fence.
Two of them bore a keg, others carried a
tin bucket, others had their arms full of
bottles.
'Have you got it, boys ?' a keg of apple
jack, and ever so many bottles of black
berry wine. The old lady was well fixed.'
'You made such a noise that she would
have suaked you if I hadn't been there to
throw her off the track. Let's go and di
vide. I ought to have the biggest share,
as 1 had the hardest part of the work.'
It is Uius that patriotism and virtue are
rewarded.
The PboimuToitY Liycoit Law.
We at length reached the hotel again, and
I proposed a glass of brandy aud water.
My friend looked at me and then at the
landlord ; and then the landlord looked at
nay friend and then at me. Perplexity
overspread the countenances of both.
'Such a thing as a drop of liquor is not to
be had in the place,' said the landlord.
liought, you mean,' retorted :ny friend.
'liought, I mean,' was the answer.
Tlien both eyed me significantly.
'Does auybody give it away Y- I inquir
ed, greatly puzzled by the mystery that
appeared on both of their coantenaces.
'Not exactly. You see, the State con
stables would be after rue in' no time if 1
sold.' explained the landlord. 'Do you
want some very badly ?'
I could not explain how badly I wanted
it, and could only give vent to my feelings
in a sigh.
Without a word, the landlord disappear
ed within the recesses of a small room be
hind the ofHce desk, aod presently came
forth with two empty tumblers in his hand.
There he placed upon the desk.
'But where is the liquor ?' I iuquircd.
The law forbids me to sell it,' he said,
'aud I dare not disobey the kw. If you
cau find any here you are welcome to it,'
saying which he accidentally turned back
the breast of his coat. The ueck of a bottle
peeped forth from the inside jtocket. lie
winked his eye at me, and I winked my
eye at him, after which I drawn forth the
bottle. He faintly struggled with me to
pre veu t the daring robbery upon which I
was bent, but I proved inexorable.
'My private bottle, kept for medicinal
purposes, and not for sale," he moaned, as
he poured out the liquor fur myself and the
worthy chairman of the parish committee.
'Have some water, gentlemeu ?' he added
with alacrity.
We drank, and I had taken it. Then I
put a dollar in his hands.
'What is this for ?' he asked, as he de
posited it in his waistcoat pocket, and gave
roe a half dollar in change.
'For a bushel of oats.' I answered.
'Keep them till I send for them.'
'Ah, sir,' said the landlord, with an air
virtuous resignation, 4 the prohibitory law
has done a world of good io stopping the
sale of liquors. It's severe law on us, but
it a g"oa one. isostnn uazfttr.

the medicinal jiroia-rties of which art)
extracted therefrom without the use ef
Alcohol. The question is almost daily
asked, " What Is the cause of tlie uniar

Our answer is, that they remove the
cause- of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health. They are the pvat
blood purifier and a lile-jjivin prinei

of the system. Never U-lore in the his

their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensivf
derangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon theso various or

no cathartic for the purpose equal to Db.
J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as
they will speedily remove tho dark
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at tho same time
stimulating the Eccretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of
a system thus fore-armed.

lurking in tbe Fystcm of so many thousands,
are effectually dentroysd and removed. No

For Female Complaints, iu young

Men have rrown old in our patronage
Babies on their mothers' breast
To bouncing boys at play ;
And youths by maidens fair caressed,
To stalwart men with cares oppressed,
And old men silver gray.
And among the honored and lasting impres
, sinus of time, and the crash of revolutions iu
circumstances, we stand a living monumental
: memento of the inirennity and perseverance ap
pertaining to the identity of progression, plying
our vocation with the biirhest style of. art and
jH-rfeetion, and aspiring to achieve tlie hiirhest
. reward of merit attainable in our bumble capaci
ty, and the sentiment of respect and approbation
which the presence of superior appliances and os- I

Always to please .
We shave with ease I
Cut and comb with taste the hair ; i
Shampoo tho head with soothing care, I
And color tbe whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town. I
Then allow me politely request you to stop,
And not go past nor from around our shop.
To get shaved on the basis of ability nor as
some have done for our use of the ballot for prin
ciple sacred and right nor under the common
secret and invidious guise of enmity to complex

i his skin, ought not to all'ect his usefulness nor

WaTF.BlSG HORSES AFTER MEALS. It is the
practice wilh many horsemen to give their horses
no water until they have eaten their allowance
of feed. Concerning this practice a veterinarian
writes : "A fall drink of water Immediately
after being fed should never be allowed to horses.
When water is drank by them the bulk of it goes
to the large intentines, and little of it is retained
in the stomachs. In passing through the sto
mach, however, it carries considerable quantities
of the contents to where it lodges hi the intes
tines. If, then, the rood of horses' stomachs Is
washed out before it is digested, no nourishment
will be derived from the feed. In Edinburg,
some old horses were fed with split peas, and
then supplied with water immediately before be
ing killed. It was found Hhat. the water had
carried the peas from fifty to sixty feet into the
intestines, where uo digestion took place at all."
Mr. Cassie is quite correct in tbe views set
forth regarding the injurious effects of large
quantities of water swallowed immediately after
eating. A small quantity of fluid swallowed
along with or immediately after dry food, bene
ficially softens it and assists in its subdivision
aud digestion. An inordinate supply of water,
or of watery fluid, on the other hand, proves in
jurious. It dilates unduly the digestive secre
tions ; it mechanically carries onward the im
perfectly digested food and thus interferes with
the proper functions of the canal and excites in
digestion and diarrbcea. These untoward effects
are especially apt to occur where horses freely
fed and too liberally watered are shortly put to
tolerably quick woik. There is no more iofiilli,
ble method of producing colic, diarrhoea and in
flammation of the bowls. The horse is not pecu
liar in this effect ; dogs, and even their masters,
similarly suffer from copious draughts of water
immediately after eating much solid food.
WuEt Wheat Suocld be Cut. Tbe German
town Tulegraph says there has been some diversi
ty of opinion as to the bet time to cut wheat,
judging from the common practice of farmers.
It is generally cut wheo dead ripe, or at least
when the grain has become hard. This is no
doubt an error, and one of more importance than
many suppose. It should be remembered that
wheat is composed of gluten, starch and bran.
Gluten is the nourishing quality of grain, makes
the flour stick together in the hands of the baker,
and gives weight to the grain nd there is the
greatest quantity of gluten in tbe grain just
when the straw is yellow two or three joints
from the ground, the head turns downward, and
yon can mash a graiu between yonr thumb and
fiuger without producing any milk. It may,
therefore, be set down as an indisputable truth
that every day the wheat stands after this stage
of its ripeness the jtlttten decreases in quality,
and the bran increases in thickness. We give
these facts in time that the farmers can take ad
vantage of the preseut season.
Value or Si s Flowers. We would call the
attention of farmers at this time to the value of
sunflowers as a crop, and enumerate some of
their values and uses. In the first place the
flowers abound in honey, and furnish food for
bees. The seeds contain oleaginous matter, and
yield oil at the rate of one gallon to the barrel,
which is but little inferior to olive oil. TJne acre
will produce fifty bu9hels of seeds. It is also
valuable for food for horses and poultry, it has
been nsed for bread by the American Indians,
and also in Portugal. The leaves are excellent
fodder for cattle. The stalk while growing may
be utilized as bean poles where they are scarce
and difficult to be obtained, and when dry may
be n.-ed as a roofing, or set up against a fence to
form a wind break. They contaiu a large
amount of potash, and arc excellent for fire
kindling. The seed has also been recommended
for fuel. The reputation of the growing sun
flower to absorb miasmatic vapors and prevent
ing fever and ague is well known. Bn-krij'

Printers ink fob Trees. Mr. Pratt, super
intendent of the public grounds mt Concord,
Massachusetts, has for the past three years had
charge of the noble elms which line the streets
of that historic town. He has experimented
carefully with printers' ink, by applying it in
various ways to the frnit trees, sometimes di
rectly to the bark, then by daubing tarred or
paper and winding that around close to the
ground. He has found it completely effectual,
and has been the best success by merely smooth
ing the rough bark slightly with a drawing
shave and then spreading the Ink directly on the
shaved surface. It does not injure the tree, and
is not only much faster put on, bat more effica
cious even there U than the nse of the tarred or
sheathing paper, for there is then no hiding
place for the moth.
The slightest contact with the ink i death to
the insect. After using the ink upon all trees,
large and small, elm aud apple, without any
paper, and for a period of three years, he sees no
injurious effect on any tree.
E'.rth Worms in Pots. The common eailh
worm is sometimes quite troublesome to tbe
plant grower. A friend of Monroe Co., Mo.,
writes.: "My house plants have suffered very
much from earth worms. I tried many things
and they ouly became more numerous. M last
I put 10 drops of carbolic acid in a pint of water,
and poured that on the earth in the pots, and it
acted like a charm, killed all the worms, and the
plants began to improve at once. It has been
three weeks since it was applied.and they are all
in a nice, growing condition, and I think that it
U time enough to show what it will do." Hci'i

A writer in the CowUry GtntUman says that
fine wood ashes sprinKled on rose bashes on the
under side of the leaves as well as on tbe upper
side while the dew is on, is sure destruction to
the pestiferous slugs. Perhaps as good a wsy
as any to destroy them is to go over the bushes
and crush tbe insects with tbe fingers.
HOUSEHOLD.
Lauds fob tub Butcher. For fine lambs,
procure good Merino ewes and cross with a
Southdown or Cotswold ram.
To Stop the Flow or Blood. There is no
better use to make of fine-cut tobacco, than to
bind it upon a fresh wound, and nothing wilt
stop the flow of blood quicker.
Stusif Machine. The simplest contrivance
is to chain a strong piece of timber to one side
of the stump by very strong chains hooked'into
the roots, aud attach oxen to tbe other end ;
going about in a circle will twist the stump out.
To Pretest Moths' Ravage. Hemp when
tbe blossoms are jut opened, is an infallible
preservative of textile fabrics and furs, against
the attacks of moth. The stalk, with leaves
and flowers, is cut wheu blooming (about July)
and dried in the shade. It is said to preserve its
properties for several years.
Hoe Cake. An old fashioned hoe cake is
made with equal parts of milk and water, a liltl
salt, meal stirred in to make a stick batter, and
baked 011 a griddle. It is best made with snnr
milk, soda, and a little shortening.
WirrLE. One pint cold grits, one egg, one
pint sweet milk, one teaspoonful yeast' powder,
one teaspoonful sugar and a little salt. Beat to
a smooth batter. Il makes the nicest waffle ever
taeted.
Apple Fritters. Sour milk, one pint ; sal-
eratns, one teaspoon ; flour, to make a batter
not very stiff; six apples pared and roied ; three
eggs. Dissolve the saleratns in the milk, beat
tbe eggs and put in, then the flower to make a
soft batter, chop the apples to about tbe sise of
small peas, aud mix them well with the batter.
Fry in lard, as yon would doughnuts. Eaten
with butter and sugar.
Raspberrt Vinegar. The following receipt
for making this delicious sirup for summer
drinking is the best I have ever tried, and I think
such of your readers, Mr. Editor, who nse other
methods will, after a tr!al,endorse what I say:
Put a pound of very fine ripe raspberries In a
bowl, bruise them well, and pour upon them a
quart of the best cider vinegar ; next day strain
the liqnor on a pound of fresh ripe raspberries,
bruise them also, and the following day da the
same, but do not squeeze the fruit or it will make
it ferment, only drain the liquor as dry as yon
can from it. The last time pass it through a
canvas bag previously wet nith the vinegar, to
prevent waste. Put the juice into a stone jar,
with a pound of sugar to every pint of juice ; the
sugar must be broken into lumps ; stir it and
when melted, put the jars into a pan of water ;
let it simmer a little and then skim it ; when
cold bottle it. It will be fine and thick when
cold and a most excellent sirup for making a
wholesome drink. tlermantovn TtUgraph.
