tlto observation by -ounint
and witty author upon what are

-r;i-er 'Hireat Talkers not only do
the least, but generally say the least, if
their words De weignea uisiraui 01 reck
oned. He who labors under an incon
tinence of speech seldom gets the better
of his complaint ; for he iinirt prescribe
for himself, and is very sure of liariog
a fool for his physician. Many a chat
terbox might pass for a schrewd man,
if he would keep his own secret, and
hut a drag-chain now, and then upon
his tongue. The largest minds have
the smallest opinion of themselves; for
their knowledge impresses them with
humility, by showing them the extent
of their ignorance, and the discovery
niakes them taciturn. Deep waters are,
still. Wise men generally talk little,
because they think much. Feeling the
annoyance of idle loquacity in others,
they are cautious of falling; into some er
ror, and keep their mouths shut when
they cannot open them to the puriiose.
The smaller the calibre of the mind,
the greater the bore of a perpetually
open mouth. Human heads are like
hogsheads the emptier they are, the
louder report they give of themselves.
There are human specimens who never
think; they only think they think.
The clack of their word-mill is heard,
even when there is no wind to set it go

The Twe Prepbeta at Prayer.
Here is a pretty story for you from
the JJadeth en Scbbce, (sayings of the
Prophet,) "Two prophets were sitting
together, and discoursing ot prayer and
the difficulty of fixing the attention en
tirely on the act. One said to the other,
'Not even for the duration of two re
kahi, (prarers ending; with the prostra
tion and allak akbar) can a man fix his
mind on God alone.' 1 he other said
iay: but I can do it.' 'Sav then tw
rekalts,' replied the elder of the two; 'I
will give thee my cloak.' Now, he wore
two cloaks a new red one and an old
shabby blue one. The younger prophet
rose, raised his hands to his head, said
allah akbar, and bent to the ground for
Ins nrst retnft; as he rose again he
thought,' will he give me the red cloak
or tiie blue, I wouderr It is very stu-
pid of me not to write down all the
pretty stories I hear. Some dsv 1 musi
bring Omar with me to England, and
be will tell you stories like fecheheraz
ade herself. A jolly Nubian alien told
ine the other night how, in his village,
no man ever eats meal, except on Uai-
ram day; but one night a woman had
piece of meat given her by a traveler
she put it in the oven, and went out.
During her absence her husband came
in and smelted it, and as it was just the
time of the ethe, (first prayer, one hour
alter sunset,) he ran up to the bill out
side the village, and began to chant
forth the Tekbeer with all his migh
ulhih akbar, allahu akbar, &c, till the
leople ran to see what was the matter,
"Why, to-day is Itairam," savs he.

Miracles.
Epiphanius tells us that at each anni
versary of the miracle of Can a the water
of the springs ofCibyra in Carta and
Gerasa in Arabia was changed into
wine; that he himself had drunk of the
transformed water of Cibvra, and his
brothers of that of Gerasa. Fifty years
ago a plain Englishman would have
had no dilliculty in thinking that the
Can a miracle was true, and the other
miracles were fables. He is now irre
sistibly led to class all these occurrences
in one category as unsubstantial tales
of marvel. Scales seem to drop from
his eyes in regard to miracles, and if
he is to hold last his Christianity, it
must no longer depend upon them. It
was not to discredit miracles that Liter
ature and Dogma was written, but be
cause miracles are so widely and deeply
discredited already. And it is lost la
bor, we repeat, to be arguing for or
against them. .Mankind did not ongi
nally accept miracles because it had for
mal proor or them, but because its ira
perfect experience inclined it to them
Sot will mankind now drop miracles
because it has formal proof against them,
Dut Because its more complete expert
ence detaches it from them. The final
result was sure, as soon as ever miracles
began to embarrass people, they began
to be relegated especially the greater
miracles to a certain limited period
long ago over. Irena?us says that peo
ple in his time had arisen from the
dead, "and abode with us a good niim-
Der or years." one or bis commenta
tors, embarrassed by such stupendous
miracles occurring outside of the Iiihlc,
tries to explain awav the remarkable
allegation, but the most recent editor of
Iren.eus points out, with truth, that the
attempt is Tain. Irenaeus was as sure
to want and to find miracles as the Bi
ble-writers were. And sooner or later
mankind was sure to see how univer
sally and easily stories like this of Ire-
nseus arose, and that they arose with
the Bible-writers just as they arose with
ireiuTus, and are not a whit more solid
coming from them than from him.
A Catholic imagines that he gets over
ie aitticulty by believing, or professing

The custom of those times was very
much different from these of ours, where
the greater part of our youth is spent
in learning the words of dead langunges.
The Grecians, who thought all barbari
ans but themselves, despised the use of
foreign tongues; the first elemeuts of
their breeding was the knowledge of
nature, and the accommodation or that
knowledge, by moral precepts, to the
service of the public and private offices
of virtue: the masters employing one
part of their time in reading to, and dis
coursing witn tneir scnoiars; anu ine
rest in appointing tbem their several
exercises, either in oratory or philoso
phy, and setting them to declaim and to
dispute among themselves. By this libe
ral sort of education study was so lar
from being a burden to them that iu a
short time it became a habit ; and philo
sophical questions, and criticisms of bu
manity, were their usual recreations at
their meals. Boys lived then, as the
better sort of men do now; and their
conversation was so well-bred and man
ly, that they did not plunge out of their
depth into the world, when they grew
up, but slid easily into it, and found no
alteration in their comiiany. Amongst
the rest the reading and quotation of
the poets were forgotten at their sup
pers, and in their walks: but Homer,
Euripides, Sophocles were the enter
tainment of their hours of freedom
Rods and ferrules were not used by
Antoninus, as being properly the pun
ishment of slaves and not the correct

to be only exercised by arents, who
had the power of life and death over
their own children. Vnden.

Human lives, though short, are still
long enough to witness the birth, the
mature vigor, the decrepitude and death
of manv plants and animals. The rise
and fall of nations and races, the foun

demand great longevity for us to ob
serve them in our proper persons. 1m
portant topographical revolutions are
mostly effected still more slowly. Hol

compressed into an unusually short
space of time. The Zuiderzee is of
quite recent formation. It is the very
youngest sea in turoiie, not having ac
quired its full development until the
close of the thirteenth century, v hen
the Romans penetrated into these north

covered with dense rorests. isears and
wolves disputed with man whatever
game might lurk within them. In the
midst of all was a great lake, the Flevo,
mentioned by Tacitus, communicating
with the sea by a river, which was cal
led by the Romans Flevum, and which,
perhaps, is the Jledcme.lach ol the r ri-

ICEICULTCUL,
How Prize Cheese is Made. At the
last grand exhibition of the American
Institute, held in New York City, which
was closed November 18; B. F. Adams,
of Austin, Minn., exhibited some speci
mens of excellent cheese, for which he
was awarded the premium. Herewith
we give' the principal details in the
manufacture of such cheese, which he
haa furnished to the Practical Farmer
tor publication. He writes : "The rows
whose milk was used in the manufac
ture of the cheese, were fed entirely on
the wild grass of Minnesota. I receive
the milk but once a day in the morn
ing. The farmers set their milk in cans
put into a tub of cold water, and cool it
down to the temperature of the atmos
phere by agitating it well with a large
dipper. Morning milk the same in a
separate can. 1 he milk when received
at the factory in the morning is weighed
and strained through two thicknesses
of bandage cloth and kept constantly-
agitated in the vat nntil the rennet is
added ; this is to prevent the cream
from rising. After the niuit is ail re
ceived, the heating process commences,
which is done Dy steam irom a nve
horse power boiler, and conducted
through pipes under the vat. I first
heat the milk to a temperature of 82

cheese will grease itself enough.
keep my drying room at a temperature
of about 80 degrees."
Presekvixo Fodder and Leaves. A
correspondent of the American Farmer
says that, when roots or poiawen arc
either frozen or in any way so damaged
that they cannot keep good along while,
or wheu these products in the spring
begin to grow or sprout, tne oniy way
to save thein without loss is to preserve
them in trenches. These trenches
ought to be about eight feet broad, at
least five feet deep, and of any length.
The sides ought to be perpendicular, so
that the mass may settle equally. To
keep the food clean and to save an tne
juice, it is preferable to build these
trenches of bricks laid in cement. The
roots are cut, packed, and stamped as
closely as possible; and should there be
a great surplus of juice, chopped straw
may be mixed with it, to enlarge the
bulk. Salt is not at all necessary to
nreserve this fodder, but it may be used
about in the proportion of a quarter of
a pound of salt to one hundred pounns
of leaves or turnips. Above the filled
trench the fodder is to be heaped up
like a roof, so that the rain water may
run off easily. After this the heap is
covered with tree leaves and with soil,
A straw cover would be too porous,
likewise a stiff soil is better than sand,
The earth oucrh to be rammed so that a
closed cover of about two feet and a half
in thickness is formed: and should the
soil begin to burst or to break, stamping
ought to ne repeateu. ine prnn.-ip.ii
matter of iuijiortaiice is to keep off the
atmospheric air, else the mass proceeds
to molder and to putrefy. Leaves and
chopped roots treated in this way will
keep good many years.
Waste or Land. If a farm of ICO
aeres is divided by fences into fields of
10 acres, there are five miles or lences
If each fence now is one rod wide, no
less than ten acres are occupied by them.
This is equal to U? per cent, of the
farm, and the loss ol tne use or tne
land is exactly equal to a charge of 6'i
ner cent, on the whole value of the
farm. But nearly every fence row in
the country Is made a nursery for weeds,
which stock the whole farm, and make
an immense amouut of labor necessary
to keen them from smothering the crops,
Much damage always results to the
crop from these weeds, and if these ex
penses are added to the first one, the
whole will easily sum up to twenty per
cent., or a tax of one-fifth of the value
of the rarni. io remedy mis we wouiu
have fewer fences, or we would clean
and sow down the fence rows to grass
or clover, and mow tbem twice a year.
Ten acres of clover or timothy would,
at least, supply a farm with seed and a
few tons of hav every year. e wouiu
in short consider the fence rows as a
valuable part of the farm, and use them
as such.
The value op ora rot Ci lttre.
F. R. Elliott, a writer on agriculture,
has been collecting certain data in re
gard to fruit culture, and gives the
total market value or tne crop oi tne
entire country at 47,OOO,0l)O. .New
York leads all the States in amount with
I7.0O0.0O0. California's figures are larg
est in proportion to population, being
$(,000,iOi); this sum probably including
the yield from vineyards, ine total
sum for New England States is put at
tG.OOO.OOO, the individual States not
being itemized. In commenting on
those figures the San Francisco JJulUtin,
which already claims that California is
the leading wheat growing State, thinks
that it will speedily stand in front as
the greatest producer or lruit, and
holds that so far from being overdone
there the fruit business is but iu its in

Am Ingeniom Mcchanim.K most
ingenioos device for cntting sugar
loaves has been introduced in England,
and which, in point of cleanliness,
neatness, and rapidity, would seem to
leave scarcely anything to be desired,
in these respects, for perfect execution.
This machine stands over four feet
high, is over six feet long and about
three feet wide. At one end, on a sort
of platform, a man is engaged jn plac
ing the loaf of sugar horizontally, with
its base pressing against the middle of
the machine, where a circular saw,
worked by steam power, cute the loaf
into slabs. These, being round of
course run by themselves on to a pair
of rollers fitted with longitudinal
knives, between which they are cut in
to splinters or sticks. Instantly, these
are made to pass down an inclined
plane into grooves, and fall vertically
from a smaller pair of knife rollers in
to a hundredweight box prepared to
receive them. Thus treated, they are
ready for service, and, surrounded by
a bine paper lining, present an endless
variety of sparkling cubes, triangles
and diamonds of most convenient size
and form for handling at the table.
On each side of the box is placed a
receiver, one for the tine pulverized
powder that falls from the saw, the
other for a more gritty substance that
comes from the knives. A more min
nr examination. of the cut portion
siiows, plainly enough, that, while four
sides glisten from the action of the
knife, only two bear evidence of the
marks of the saw, such a result boing
the very reverse of that produced by
the Freucb process. A whole loaf is
by this operation entirely cut up in
about two minute, which is at the rate
of live hundred-weight per hour.

Iiicarlionate of Sotla a Toothache Re
medy. t. Duckworth, of St. Bartho
lomew's Hospital, London, has recent
ly successfully used bicarbonate of soda
as a remedy for severe toothache, when
applications of chloroform, either ex
ternally to the cheek or to the ear, or,
placed on cotton in the decayed tooth,
failed ; and when carbolic acid, applied
as last mentioned, also proved inopera
tive. Pledgets of cotton, soaked in a
solution of 30 grains of bicarbonate of
soda in one fluid onnce of water gave
almost instant relief. Dr. 1 ackworth
considers that very frequently the pain
is due to the contact of acid saliva with
the decayed tooth ; and therefore it is
important, in cases of odontalgia, first
to determine whether the saliva has an
acid reaction. If this be the case, then
a simple alkaline application, as alnive
stated, is the most efficacious meausjif
cure.
Cases of toothache are such common
accompaniments to disordered stomach
that there stems every reason for the
truth of the above author's conjecture.
Doubtless to the same cause is due
the efficacy of ammonia, so frequently
recommended, but which, if applied
carelessly, is liable to produce more
pain by burning the gum than already
exists in the tooth.
- Bicarbonate of soda is found in every
kitchen, and hence no more handy re
medy could be devised, while it is des
titute of any painful effects ; aud the
rationale of its operation and its sim
plicity make us wonder why it has not

Preparation of Ebonite. The use of
ebonite, one ot tue newer preparations
of india rubber, is constantly increas
ing, on account of its better applicabil
ity to many purposes in the arts than
its near ally, vulcanite. The two sub
stances are quite similar, being com
posed of india rubber and sulphur,
with some preparation of gutta percba,
shellac, asphalte, graphite, etc., al
though, these latter are not essential.
In vulcanite the amount of sulphur
does not exceed 20 to 30 per cent,
whereas in elionite the percentage of
sulphur may reach as high as 60. An
increased temperature is also required
for this preparation. The approved
formula consists in mixing together 100
narts of rubber. 45 of sulphur, and 10
of gutta percha, with sntlieient beat to
facilitate the combination, in manu
facture, a sufficient quantity of this
mixture is placed in a mold, of a de
sired shape, and of such material as
will not be anected by the sulphur

and a pressure of about 13 lbs. to the

done most readily by placing the mold

kept np. When cold, the ebonite is
removed from the mold, and finished
and polished in the usual manner.

easy method of breaking glass to any

Universal Sature. Nature lias al
ways had the credit of adapting her
means to ends. The tenderness of her
J rovision for the wants of the hnmb
est of her creatures is illustrated by
Mr. Darwin, who says that male grass
hoppers use their hind legs to fiddle on
the edge of their wings, and that the
best fiddler first succeeds in fascinating
the females. Behold how the indus
trious spider spins her web, and then
sucks the blood of her husband and
flings bis carcass out in the back yard.
Thus it is that the harmonies of life

Power or the Hands. Many mothers
pass their lives la rearing their families,
giving medicine conscientiously, spar
ing no needful expense, and yet never
know what a power they are in them
selves. For instance, but few mothers
know that croup, taken iu the first
stages, may often be removed by such
simple appliances as the mother's warm
hand, laid snugly at the throat and over
the lungs of the child, flatly, in the
form of a poultice, and acting quite as
effectually and quickly as any poultice
or liniment. This, with warm covering
of blankets, with the warmth of the
mother's body, has relieved cases where
children had taken a little cold, with
out disturbing others, or the child
either. It is not well for a child to be
hurried out of bed when it begins that
croupy cough, often breathing cooler
air, which is always bad for that pecu
liar disease. I only wish to say to
mothers, you know not what power
your own hands posseaa until you have
tried them on pains and early aymptoms
of croup. Those to whom these re
marks are now addressed will be as
tonished at the result of these influences
upon the patient.
It is a shame that such a blessed and
useful agent should be so abused as this
has sometimes been, by i in posters,
claiming it was the power of some old
Indian doctor, or some other long-deceased
person, while the rubbing slowly
with the hands of a friend over a per
son in distress produces almost a magi
cal effect. Perhaps we should not be
astonished that some are so supersti
tious as to attribute this power to some
spirit agency, when they do not know
that almost every one could exercise
this faculty, if they would, on their sick
friends; but, nevertheless, I am greatly
astonished when I see others, who iu
other respects are intelligent, claiming
a supernatural agpney for such appli
ances. Of course the power is more or
less great, as the person or nurse pos
sesses more or less of magnetism, and is
more or less soothing and symphathetic.
Try this, mothers, when the first cough
ing comes on, and many times you need
not take the child out of bed. Rub the
throat and lungs well, so as to produce
good circulation when you remove the
hand. Chronic pains of adults, iu back,
side and shoulders, are often greatly
relieved by the gentle rubbing with the
hand of a friend, who should be a little
careful not to have both hands touch
'he invalid at the same time; also to
J'1!! brush, or shake off the electricity

afterwards washing out the ulcers with

point, at least, is regarded as settled
and it is certainly one of great impor

periments of this character, namely, that
the local treatment of pulmonary cavi
ties is undoubtedly practicable, and that
the lung is really" more tolerant of ex

are rapidly extending, and it bids fair
to become one of the most valuable

Beet Tea for Sick Person-. The
proper way to make this article is to
take a pound of the best beef, cut it into
smalt pieces, and place it in a good
sized, open-mouthed bottle a pickle

Cork the bottle loosely, aud then set it
into a kettle of water, which is to be
kept boiling for two hours. If the
bottle is now removed it will be found
that it contains a considerable quantity
or mud, which may he turned on, and
the beef subjected to slight pressure to
remove still more. In this fluid we
have a concentrated article of nutriment.

The Best or Spoxoe Cakes. One
pound of sugar, half pound of sifted
Hour, grated rind and juice of one lemon
ten eggs, (some use the whites of 12
eggs, aud yolks of 8.) Beat the yolks
as light as it is possible, then add the
sugar and lemon, and beat very hard ;
then add one-third of the whites after
they are beaten until they stand alone.
Give all a splendid beating now; add
one-third of the flour, then one-third of
the whites, alternating, until you get
all the whites and flour iu. The mo
ment the flour goes in you must cease
beating, and stir in the gentlest possible
manner; beating after the flour goes in
makes sponge cake heavy. It is much
better to have some one beating the
whites while you are beating the yolks,
so as to get it into the oven as quickly
as possible without standing. Bake one
hour.
A Whitewash that will do for

and add a peck of salt dissolved In warm
water; three pounds of ground rice put
in boiling water, and boiled to a thin
paste; one-half pound of powdered
Spanish whiting, and a pound of clear
glue, dissolved iu warm water. Mix
these well together, and let the mixture
stand for. several days. Keep the wash
thus prepared iu a' kettle or portable
furnace, and when used put it on as hot
as possible with either painters' or
whitewash brushes.
To fickle beef for long keeping:
First, thoroughly rub salt into it aud
let it remain in bulk for twenty-four
hours to draw off the blood. Second,
take np, letting it drain, and pack as
desired. Third, have ready a pickle
prepared as follows : For 100 &s. beef
use 7 B'S. salt; saltpeter and cayenne
pepper, each 1 oz.; molasses, 1 quart;
and soft water, 8 gallons; boil and skim
well, and when cold pour it over, the

The German washerwomen use a
mixture of two ounces tnrpentine and
one ounce spirits of ammonia, well
mixed together. This is put into a
bucket of warm water, in which one
half pound of soap has been dissolved.
The clothes are immersed for twenty
four hours and then washed. The
cleansing is said to be greatly quickened,
aud two or three rinsings in cold water
remove the turpentine smell.

Ax inhabitant of a suburban town,
after spending a convivial evening, was
discovered among the carrots and cab
bages of his humble garden, wrapped
iu slumber. "Well, Bill," said an ad
miring friend, as he shook the prostrate
youth, "what are you doing out here?"
"Watvhing for a hen that's stole lit r
nest," was the sententious answer.
"But what- are your eyes shut for,
Bill?" "Don't want the old hen to see
me," grnllly replied the sleepy philo

made a brief address to his pupils on
the necessity of obeying their teacher

pointed to a large national flag spread
on one side of the room and inquired :
"Boys, what is that flag for?" A little
urchin, who understood the condition
of the house better than the speaker
very promptly answered, "To hide the

My faithless goddess, Hvgeia, had ut
terly deserted me. Only" now and then
would Morpheus befriend nie, but on
this auspicious day, he had deigned to
moisten my eyelids with heavenly am
brosia, and I slept. As I slept, behold,
I had a dream ! I thought that 1 was
roaming upon foreign soil whither my
physician had sent me to recover my
health. I was in a great metropolis
one of the grand marts of the world. In
one of my strolls 1 chanced to meet a
man who had in his hand a handsomely
bound volume, entitled "The People's
Common Sense Medical Adviser," and
who said that he was an agent for the
ile of the book. The title was such a
novel one that I was impelled to give
the work a casual notice. As I hastily
glanced over it pages, I observed that it
contained treatises not commonly found
in medical works. But I had too mauy
times been hoaxed by appearances, and
I determined that I would have nothing
to do with it. A voice within me, like
a faithful mentor, whispered, "Know
thf opportunity ; in that book is thy sal
vation !" I began reasoning with my
self. Although doubtful and distrust
ful, yet I put forth my hand to take the
book, and, lo! the agent was gone! I
was miserable. In my agony 1 awoke.
Great drops of perspiratiou were upon
my brow. By my bedside was a friend
who had called during my slumber to
see me. Said my friend, "I have brought
with me a book, just published, which
I thought might interest yon." One
elance at the work, and J was assured
that it was "The People's Common
Sense Medical Adviser," by Dr. R. V.
Pierce, of Buffalo, X. Y. Surely, th'M
was the veritable book which I hail seen
in my dreams. 3Iy friend loaned me
the work, and every day, as my strength
permitted, I perused iu pages. Al
though it contained very interesting
treatises on Biology, Cerebral Physiol
ogy, Human Temperaments, Xursingof
the Sick, etc., yet, being an invalid, I
was most interested in the subjects of
Diseases and Remedies. I believed that
I had a liver affection, and yet more
than one medical attendant had pro
nounced my disease Consumption, and
that I would fall with the autumn
leaves. In that book I found my symp
toms perfectly portrayed. -1 was then
confident that I had not deceived my
self. I reasoned thus: "Any man who
can so truthfully depict my feelings,
and apparently understands my consti
tutional tendencies, must know jt
tehntmj physical system demand. I
will trust my case with Dr. Pierce. I
will take his Golden Medical Discovery
as recommended for my disease." The
result is, that after having perseveringly
followed his prescribed treatment, I
one again enjoy the blessings of health.
Therefore, I would say to the afflicted,
"Know thy opportunity," and take Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do
this, Sehenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic must be
freely used to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all obstructions, re
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely, at.d the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle

the digestion by toning up the stomach
