    The Legend of a Hohsesuoe. —This is
ihe simple legend of one. A good country
man tm taking a rural walk with his son,
bale Thomas. As (hey walked along, the
fj her suddenly stopped.
“Look!” he said, “there’s a bit of iron, a
pi>ce of a horseshoe, pick il-Up, and put it in
yi ur p ickel,” )
■‘fojh 1” answered the child. “It is not
worth stooping for.”
The father, without saying another word,
picked up the iron, and put il in his pocket.
When they came to a village, he entered the
blacksmith’s shop, and sold it for three far
things, and with that sum he bought some
cherries. Then (he father and son set off
again on their ramble. The sun was burning
hot, and neither a house, tree, nor fountain of
water werd in sight. Thomas soon com
plained of being tired and had some difficulty
in following his father, who [Walked on with
a firm step. Perceiving that his boy was
tired, the lather, let fall a cherry, as if by
accident. Thomas stooped down and quickly
picked it up, and devoured it. A little farther
he dropped another, and the boy picked, it up
as eagerly as ever; and.thus they continued,
the father dropping the fruit, and the son
picking them up. When the last one was
eaten the father slopped and turning to the
boy said:
“Look my son! If you had chosen to
stao|>once, and pick up the piece of horse
shop, you would not have been obliged to
sloop so often to pick up the cherries!”
There's a good and pleasant moral in this
little anecdote, which may be of benefit to all
01 Ui.
He Dibd at ms Post. —A sad, but beau
tiful and touching, scene was witnessed at the
accident at Du Page bridge. On the morning
after the accident the slow tolling of a bell
wai heard On looking to see whence it
came, n was discovered to proceed from the
engine as n toy submerged in the water, The
waves ns they foamed and surged over- the
sunken engine swayed the bell, which alone
with tnc smoke-pipe Appeared water,
and caused it to give it a toiling sound. When
the engines was raised from the water the
engineer was found in a standing posture,
with his stiff, cold, icy hand firmly grasping
the throttle valve, as though amid the thick
darkness he had discovered the perilous con
demn of the Iruin, and had sprang to avert
the ruir. Bui it was 100 lato, the engine and
tram, wilt us precious freight of life and
properi went down, and during the dreary
nighi, the engine boll and the mad rushing
waters rang out a solemn requiem for the
dene, It is probable that had not the freight
train gone down as it did, the passenger train
trorr Chicago, due two hours later, and
loaded with sleeping passengers, would itself
have taken the fatal plunge. —Joliet Demo

Tvkanxv —Addison says, that the dog
fins been the companion of man 6,000 tears
and has learned only one of his vices, that
is to worry his species when he finds him in
trouble Tie a saucepan to a dog’s tail, and
another dog will fall upon him j put a man
in prison for debt, and another will lodge a
detainer against him
Practical Bov. —“Lillie boys should be
seen, noi heard," os ihe urchin said when he
coulu nm recue his lesson.
Lhinesl Jsugar-Canb.— Hon. Schuyler
Colla.v. o; inmana, wriies as follows of ihe
peculiarities of Ihe new Corn ;
“ i. is culuvaied like corn, and can be
raised wherever lhai crop can be matured,
it partakes, by the way, so much of the same
characteristics, that n must not be planted in
the vicinity ot a cornfield, or it will assimi
late to it like melons to less palatable vines.
The stalks, when nearly matured, are filled
with a rich, saccharine juice, easily convert
ed into molasses ; and yielding very largely
—parts of it will dve wool and silk a perma
nent red or pink—and the entire plant irf-de
voured with avidity by horses, cattle,
and swine With ordinary cultivation, it is
said that it wilt produce seven tons of fodder
to the acre, raising two crops from the same
roots in one season.
" in everv locality where it was planted
last season, from South Carolina to even so
tar north as Mmesota, it has realized the
highest expectations ; and in two years it will
undoubtedly become one of our standard and
staple crops. And the expectation of the
Commissioner of patepjs, (hat it will be sur
passed in value to the country, only the coi
ton and wheat crops, bids fair to be realized.”
How to procuke Seed os the best
Kind. —VVpen you set off your plants for
seeding, such as cabbages, beets, &c., care
should be taken to manure the ground well 1
tyitn good, short, rotten manure; set them
out in f damp, shady place, if possible, so .
that the sun wilt not have too much power on I
then. When they come in blossom,cut out
the middle stalk, low enough to leave five or
six branches standing on (he sides of ihe
stalk below ; the seed will be plump, full and
true. Ai me lime when onions and leeks ore
in blossom, one-third of the middle portion
of me blos-oni should be eul and the same
operation should be performed on all kinds of
blossoming vegetation. This is tlie way lo
procure true beads of cabbage and true bulbs
lo lurneps. 1 would advise farmers and gar
deners lo lake oui a portion of ihe blossom
oi every kind of vegetation, when set off for
seen.
To Relieve Choked Cattle, —Mix a
spoonfu o’’ gunpowder wiih enough hog’s
Inrd lo form n ball the size of a hen's egg.
Open tne animal's moulh, and afler pulling
out me tongue bghllv, chuck the ball of lard
end nnwtiiT noun tbe throat, let go the ton
gue and me work is done.
Tne lunl mens in the throat, and the gun
powder acts as an irritant, m contact with the
sensi’ive membrane thereof. The obstruc
tion will generally be ejected.
To Cure Sobe Necks of Oxen. A
letter in an exchange says a neighbor had a
pair of working oxen, whose necks become
very sore. He covered that part of the yoke
with sheet lead. They healed almost imme
diately, though constancy kepi hi work.
The lead, being a good conductor of heal,
may have reduced the inflammation and thus
cause I the sores to htyl.
To get (he greatest benefit from manure,
h must be intimately mixed with the soil. It
makes a much greater difference than most
farmers-suppose,; whet her the manure is bu
ried in lomps bi clods, or" whether it is care
fully spread and intermixed with the soil, as
fat as may be by plowing and harrowing.
The richest fertilizer is of no use to a plan
unless fitted for plant food —so intermixed
with the soil as to invite the roots, and so po
rous to moisture as to become soluble, that
Ihe roots may lake it up.
If you would fatten- cattle profitably and
well, give them plenty of good wholesome
air, plenty of rest, a nice clean resting place
and do not disturb thebaturally quiet stale of
their minds, and finally give them plenty of
good nutritious food properly prepared. If,
you feed grain, let it be crushed or cooked ;
if hay or fodder, let it be cut.
A Fabmeb in southern Alabama advises
those smpking hams to throw upon (he fire
occasionally, a handful of china berries,
which, he says, will be an effectual prevent
ive against skippers.
Have a place for every tool, and never
leave one out of its place; or, to go further,
“a place for everything, and everything in its
place.
If you would preserve the health of your
horses, exercise them in the open air ever|y
day when not in use.
-The best plan to make cattle vicious at d
julnping, is to have very fine feed just the
other side of a very poor fence. ■-
The temperament of animals is always
shown by their color. Animals of different
colors always possess superiority of tempera
niem.
Keep the legs of your horses clean —dirt is
productive of diseases.
