Listen to the water-mill

How th# clinking of its wheel
Wears tho hours sway.
Laagmdlr tho .Vttftimn wind
Stirs the groonwood lea vow. .
Ftom tho Melds tho reapers sins,
Hinding up tho sheave*.
And a proverb haunts my mind
As a spoil is east;
" Tho mill cannot grind
With tho water that is past."
Autumn winds revive no more
Loaves that once are shod ;
And tho sickle cannot reap
Corn once gathensl.
And the rutflod stream flows on,
Tranquil deen and still.
Never gliding back again
To tile water-mill.

THE 0. "HO* Rearm WHEAT. -The
German tou frqgwpl says:—"lt is
getting to be pretty generally understood
among farmers, that the sowing of grass
seed—clover and timothy—with the wh.at
in the fall, as has been common iu nearly
every wheat-growing district here, as
well as north and eu-t of us, is the cause
of the rust on wheat, by reason of the
moisture which the gra retains, affect
iug the grain stalks when maturing.
These grass aoeda, sown after the wheat
crop has been harvested, will produce, it
is claimed, as good crops the following
year as if sWn at the time of the wheat

To CLEAN Km GLOVES.— To clean kid
gloves, have ready a little new milk iu
one saucer, a piece of white soap in
another, and a clean cloth folded two or
three time*. t>n the cloth spread out
the glove smooth and neat. Take a
piece of flannel, dip it in the milk, then
rub off a good quantity of soap on the
wetted flannel, and commence to rub
the {,dove toward- the Angers, holding it
firmly with the left Laud. Continue
this process until the glove, if white,
looks of a .lingy yellow, though clean ;
if colored, till it looks dry and spoiled.
Lay it to dry, and the operator will
soon be gratified to see that the old
glove looks nearly new. It will be soft,
glossy, smooth, and elastic.
A OOOP COW AND HOW HE KEEPS HEB.
—Cherles D Hurt, of McLean, X. Y,
who " sold butter thirty or forty years
ago for a shilling a pound," stated that
for the past sixteen years he has bat
una cow. "The past season I made
and a-dd up to December 1, -MO ponuds
besides what the family used, and have
SO pound* put up for the winter. She
is eight years old. In 1b69 I sold 340
pounds ; in 1868, 312 pounds : kept bat
ter to supply us the year. Her feed is
com non pasture, plenty running water,
shade, one pint of com meal, and one
quart of wheat bruin twice a day. Her
mother and grandmother wero extra
cows for richness of milk and for quanti
ty. and all would dry up as soon as cold
weather set in, and go dry about three
moths."
HENS. —Keep them in the fowl house
or under sunny latticed sheds all the
time, unless the days are very warm,
and then let them out of the house f< T
run, only for an hour or two when tlx
sun is highest. If they become through
ly chilled, they will not m-over from it
for several days. Variety in food is
something that should never lie forgot
ten. Corn is a staple ; but oats, buck
wheat, and mudi made of Indian-meal,
fed warm, should lie used on alternate
days. To insure health, where the
ground is not bare, fowls should always
have cabbages to pick over, and some
pork-'crap cake oi other animal food to
supply the lack of in-ect food. Worm
wa or"is better than cokl for their drink,
and there should always lie an abund
ance within easy reach. Do not forget
oyster shells, which are far better than
bine-plastering. And to give some in
terest to poultry operations, a debit and
credit account with the fowls is always
in order and always conduces to the
best result.
CTHISO MEAT.— The Germautown Tel
egraph gars : "To oue gallon of water
add one aiul a half pounds of salt, half
a pound of sugar, half an ounce of salt
petre, half an ounce of potash. In this
ratio the pickle to lie increased to any
quantity desired. Ltd these be 1 wiled to
gether until all the dirt from the sugar
rises to the top and is skimne-d oil.
Then throw it into a tub to 0001, and
when cold pour it over your beef or
pork, to remain the usual time, say four
or five weeks. The ui'-nt must be well
covered vith pickle, and should not be
put down for at least two day# after th r
killing, during which time it should be
slightly imrinkled with powdered saltj>e
tre, which removes all the surface blood,
etc., leaving the meat fresh and clean.
Some omit boiling tbe pickle, and find
it to answer well; though the operation
of boiling purifies the pickle by throw
ing off the dirt always found in salt ami
sugar. If this recipe is properly tried
it will never bo abandoned. There is
none that surpass it, if so good.
PBUNESO VISES IS COLD WEATHEB.—
Pruning vines when they arc frozen is
saidtobc very injurioui We are not
aware, however, that any of our vine
yardists have ever conducted a series of
experiments to prove the truth or falsity
of this very common and often reiterated
assertion. " If the young or old canes
are handled and bent while frozen, it
would, no doubt, break some of the
cells and injure tbem ; but in ordinary
pruning, that portion of the vine allowed
to remain need not be in the least dis
turbed ; for all tying up to stakes aud
trellises can lie done in pleasant weather
when there is no frost in the vines.
In pruning a cane we cut between tbe
buds ; and all that portion above the last
bud left on the cane will die whether the
separation is made with a knife, shears,
or when frozen or otherwise. Priming
vines in eold weather is certainly not
very pleasant work ; but so far as lieing
injurious, either to the vine, or the cut
tings removed, we have our doubts,
which are strengthened by tbe fact that
thousands of vines are annually pruned
without apparently any serious injury
resulting therefrom.

({fleer Story of a Mber.
A correspondent, writing from Knox

i a miser, in that town, who was reputed to
j lie worth 820,000. He had a nephew, a
very worthy young inan, who *aa going
! ont West to Beek his fortune. A few day*
before he was ready to leave, he went to
his old ancle to sell him some notes of
iiand which he held. The old miser
would not touch them, but said, "you
have always been a good 1KV; but only a
little too extravagant; I will make you a
little present before you leave." He drew
a check on the bank for 65, as be suim
posed, but, owing to his bad eyesight
and worse penmanship, it proved to lie
6500. Tin; unaccountable act of benev
olence soon became noised about town,
and, of course, soon came to the ears of
the miser. He rushed to the hank, and,
under much excitement, asked one of the
Irnck officials what the amount of the
chock he had given his nephew was,
"8500," said the clerk. "What ? " said the
miser. '' 8500," said the clerk, producing
the check. After reading, and trembling
in every muscle, he gave one iong-drnwn
sigh, and exclaimed, "My God! lama
ruined man," then sank down and died.

It was Saturday, and many of them had
been there since the Wednesday, some
since tiie Tuesday. All that time "not

hod passed their lips," nor had any com
forting hand approached them. If a
broken legge.l sergeant lia.l been able to

relief any of them had obtained. More
over, the windows of the houses were
all broken, "and all these days and
nights of almost Artie cold they had

wounds undressed." All tho agonies of
wounds, of cold, of hunger, and thirst,

CilCHlNa MI'SKEATS. —It may have
puzzled many of our readers to tell how
muskruta, beavers, and other auimal*.
are able to stay so long under water,
apparently without breathing, ©specially
in winter. The way they manage is,
they take in a good breath at
nod then remain under water as long as
possible. Then they rise up to the ice
and breath out the air in their lungs,
which remains in a bubble against the
lower part of the ice. The water near
the ice is highly cltarged with oxygen,
which it readily imparts to the air
breathed out. After ft time, this air is
taken back in the lungs, uttd the aniniul
again goes under the water, repeating
this process from time to time. In this
way, they can travel almost any distance,
una live almost any length of time under
the ice. Tito hunter sometimes takes
adv.int.tge of this liabit of the muskrat
in tho following manner: When the
marshes and pouds where the nin-krnt
nltounds are fir-t froz-'D over, and the
ice is thin aud clear, on striking into
their houses with his hatehet. for the
purpose of sotting hi* trap, he frequently
sees a whole family plunge into the water
and swim away under the ice. Follow
ing one for some distance, he sees him
conic up to recover his breath, in the
manner above described. After the ani
mal ha* breathed against the ice, aud
Itefore he has time to take hi* bubble iu
again, the hunter strikes with hi* hatch
et directly over him, and drives him away
from his breath. In this case he drowns
in swimming a few ro<ls, and the hunter,
cutting n hole in the ice, tokos him out.
Mink, otter, and beaver travel under the
ice in the same way, and hunters have
frequently told of taking otter in the
manner described.
King William Is Emperor.
King William lias issued the following

"in consequence of the appeal of the
German Princes and of the free town*
for us to restore the German Empire,
after a lapse of sixty years, we announce
that we consider it* our duty to the Fa

j Henceforth we and our successors will
| bring to the title of Emperor of Ger
many the hope that God will vouchsafe
a blissful future to the Fatherland, and
; that under our auspices, its ancient
splendor may be restored. We partake
I of the dignity, conscious of our duty to
' preserve with German fidelity the right
of the Empire, and of its menders to
1 maintain peace and to support and
strengthen the independence of Ger
many, in the hope that the German peo
ple will reap, in lasting peace, within
onr lsnindanes, the fruits of their bloody
; battles, and be safe against the renewal
of French attacks. God grant that we
I and oar successors may protect the Em

Why Soup is Wholesome.
The Loudon PoodJ-vmal rays : I hys
iologically, soup has great value for those
who hrrry to and from their meals, as it
allows an intcrvnl of comparative rest to
the fainting stomach before the more
substantial bt ef and mutton is attacked ;
rest before solid food being as important
as rest after it. Let a hungry and weary
merchant or lawyer rush in media* res
plunge boldly into roast beef, and what
is the result ? The defeat is often as pre
cipitate as was the attack. When the
body is weary the Btomach must be iden
tified with it, and cannot therefore stand
the shock of some ill-mastioated, half
pound weight of beef. But if a small
plateful of light soup bo gently insinuated •
into the system, nourishment will toon be
introduced, and strength will follow to

A Lunatic'* Shrewdness.
The cunning of lunatics is proverbial
and they display nt times not a little

Inmate—" Good-morning to you.
That's a fine horse you have ; prny what
is he worth ?"
Game-keeper.—"This horse cost my
master sixty pound*. "
Inmate.—"And what may that gun
have cost which you have ?"
Game-keeper. —"This is one of West
ley Richardson'* and consequently i<
expensive ; it cost twenty pounds."
Inmate. —"And what ore those dogs
worth ?"
Game-keeper.—"These dogs arc worth
about twenty pound*."
Inmate.—" And what have you it; that
bosket ?"
(lame-keeper.—"A snipe."
Inmate.—"And w-hnt i* that worth ?"
Game-k*eper.—" About sixpence."
Inmate.—"Well I should recommend
you to ride off as fnst as you can, for if
our governor were to know that any
man expended a hundred pounds to
procure a six-penny bird, he would im
mediately seize him and put him in his
asylum.
A RARE piece of good fortune h:ts lately
liefallen an old lady living at Bosham, in
West Sussex, England, and who was
known to the inhabitants of that place
aa" Madame Idle," —the title of Madame
I icing lies to wed upon her from the fact
that she hud spent part of her life at
Paris. She lived upon a small income,
that placed her just above the seafaring
population from whom she sprang and
amidst whom she lived. A short time
ago she received a letter, which, i*>t
being nble to read herself, she took
with her on her next visit to the neigh
boring city of Chicheste r, and asked one
of the trades-people with whom she dealt
to decipher it for her. He did so, and
found it was a letter from the solicitor of
the late Marquis of Hertford, who died
a short time ago nt Paris, to the effect
that his Lordship hod left her by his
will an annuity of £B,OOO a year ! She
has since 'come into the receipt of this
handsome provision for bfe, and has
provided out of it for her relatives, who
were in a humble position of life.
AT Digne. in Germany, several butts
of wine were shattered by lightning, and
their contents passed along the lloor into
a cistern hcncutb. ft was found that,
far from having suffered by the accident,
the wine was improved so as to sell at
sixty instead of teg cent* per litre. Sul>-
sequent experiments tend to show that a
current caused by the immersion of two
platins electrode* in connection with n
galvanic battery have A similar effect on
wine. Even poor wines seem to assume
an agreeable flavor through the process.
A RECENT INQUEST in London affords a
remarkable illustration of tho lengths to
which vanity will c irry woman. A do
mestic servant died suddenly. The
doctor could uot account for the death,
and made a post mortem examination,
which showed that the stomach had been
reduced to the size of a baby's, and the
heart pushed out of its proper place,
through tight lacing. The coroner, a
medical man of great experience, had
never seen so aggravated a case of tho
aort.
THE Superintendent of the Census now

Pi rsr-ns BC 'king a safe investment for
their spare means, wili do well to refer
to a reap just issued by JarCooke k Co.,
showing the system of railroad# iu the
Northwest. The great centre of this
system is shown to lie the West Wiscon
sin ltailway. Over this im|N>rtaut line
mut pass the great bulk of the business
between the Northwest, the East and
S iiith. An air line lietween .St, Paul A
Chicago, Milwankec and the East, It
connects with ami take# up the business
of tlm'North western, tho Milwaukee A
St. Paid, the Illinois Central, the Oman
Pay A Mississippi Railroads (now build
ing and iu addition the Michigan Cen
tral is building to it. At Si. Paul it takes
the business of the Northern Pacific,
and makes an outlet for the grand sys
tem of railroads terminating there. It
does tins because it is the shortest and
most direct route —an air-line, in fact,
and travel and commerce seek air lines
at all time*. In the future history of
the railways of the Northwest, the West
Wisconsin ltailway cannot but fill a
nio-t pMiaiuent part.
Of this road, 120 miles are now built
and running, and only 31 miles remain
to Is* built to reach St. Paul, and thus
make the connection perfect. A limited
amount of 7 ber cent, gold bearing and
gold interest bonds, to complete this

making their perfect security beyond a
question. The road is pronounced by
all one of the be*t built in the country,
penetrates weolthv ami very prosperous

MUDS or PMCFAJUTIOM.— Uuehn, in

Juniper Berries; very little sugar is used,
and a small piujx.rtion of spirit. It is
more |N>httable than any now in ueo.
Bucliu as prepared by Druggists, is of
a dork color. It is a plant that emits its
fragrance; the action of a flame destroys
this (its active principle), leaving dark
and gtntiuona decoction. Mine ia the
color of ingmlicnta. The Bucliu in my
|tre|Ktration predominates; the smallest
quantity of the other ingredients are
added, to prevent fermentation; upon
inspection it will be found not to be s
