A Tiger Story.
Luey and Fanny were two little girls,
who lived with their papa and mam
ma in London. When Lucy was six and
Fanny five years old, their uncle George
Came home from India. This was a great
joy to them ; he was so kind, and bad se
much to' tell them about far-away places,
and strange people, and animals, and things,
such as they had never seen. They never
wearied of bearing his stories, atid he did
not seem ta weary 'of them either.
One day, after dinner, they both climbed
on his knees ; and Lucy said :
"0, tinole do tell a tiger story I, We
have .seen a living tiger in the Zoological
Gardens.; and what a fierce-looking animal
it - was 1. We were afraid to go near the
bars of its iron house. Uncle, did you
ever, see them in India ?" -
".Ybs, indeed, I have, both alive. and
dead ; and very fierce they were."
"Do tell ns about •them, uncle. Do not
the tigers sometimes run, away with little
children ?"
Yes, .if they are very hungry, and: can
get near them without being seen. I will
tell you a story about a tiger and a baby
which happened to some friends of Tay
owe• ,
,
a 0, that will be so nice I"
" Well, this. gentleman and lady had one
i3WOOt little belay, and they had to take ,a
very, long journey with the child, through
a wild 'part of India. There were no
„houses there, and they had to „sleep in a
tent. 'This - is a. kind of house made of
cloth ? , by driving high sticks firmly into
the ,gronnd, and then drawing curtains all
over them It is very comfortable and cool
in awarm"eountry'where there is no rain ;
liitt s -then there are no windows or doors to
shut, as we do at 'night, to make all safe.
One night they had to sleep in, a very wild
place, near thick - wood. The lady said,
feel so afraid to-night ; I can not tell
you how frightened I am. I know there
are many tigers and wild animals in .the
wood; and what if they should come upon
us f' Her husband replied, 'My dear, we
will' make the servants light a fire, and keep
watch, and' you need have no fear; and we
must put our trust in God.' So the lady
kissed her baby, and put the child into the:
cradle; and then she. and her husband
kneeled down together, and prayed to God
* to keep them from every danger; and they
repeated that pretty verse, I will both lay
me down, in peace, and sleep : for thou,
Lord, only inakest me dwell in safety!
"In' the middle of the night the lady
started up with a loud cry, 4 0, my baby !
my baby! I dreamed just now that a tiger
had crept below the curtains, and run away
with my child ! • And when she looked in
to the cradle, the baby was not there I 0,
you may think how dreadful was their dis
tress! They'rtin out of the tent, and there
in the moonlight they saw a great animal
moving toward the wood, with something
white in his mouth. They wakened all the
servants, and got loaded guns, and all went
after it into the woods. They went as fast,
and yet as quietly as they could, and .very
semi .they came to a place where they saw
through the trees that the tiger 'had lain
down and was, playing with the baby, just
as pussy does with a mouse before she kills
it.- The baby was not crying, and did not
seem hurt, - The poor father and mother
could only pray to the Lord to help; and
When one of the men took up his gun the
lady cried, 0 you will kill my child V
But the man raised the gun and fired at
once, and God made him do it well. The
tiger gave a. loud howl, and : jumped up, and
then `-down =again, shot quite dead.
Then they all rushed forward, and there
was the dear baby quite safe, and smiling,
as if it were not at all afraid." •
" 0, - unele, what a delihtful story! And
did-.the baby really live?"
" Yes • the poor lady Was very ill after
ward, but the , baby not at el. I have seen
the child often' since then."
" 0, have you really seen a baby that has
been:in a tiger's mouth ?"
" Yes,' I have; and
,youT.too."
" We; uncle ! • When have we seen it ?"
5' You may see him just now."
The children looked all round the room,
and then back to Uncle George, and some
thing in his eyes made Lucy exclaim, "Un
cle;.could it have been yourself ?"
"Just myself"
"Is it true yon were once in a tiger's
mouth.? But• you do not remember-about,
it ?"
6 ' Certainly not; but my father and moth
er have often told me the story. You may
be sure that ofterr ' when they looked: at
their child afterward, they gave thanks to
God. It was he who- made the mother
dream, add wake just at the right minute,
and made the tiger hold the baby by the
clothes, so as not to inflict any, hurt, and
the man fire so as to shoot the tiger, and
not the child. .But, now, good-night, my
dear girls ; and before you go to bed, pray
to God to keep you safe, as my friends did
that night in the tent."
"But, uncle, we do not live in tents;
our nursery door shuts quite close, and
there are no tigers goinc , about here. The
man in the gardens told us that his one was
quite Safe locked up."
Yesi my love, but there are many kinds
of danger in this world, and we need - God
to take care of us here quite is much as in
India. Good-night, and learn I& heart my
mother's favorite verse, I will both lay
Me down in peace, and. sleep: for. thou,
Lord, only makest me dwell in safety.'"

Georgia, come and make some yeast,"
said Mrs. Grey to her daughter. It was
Saturday morning, and there was a great
deal to be done; for Mrs. Grey's family
Was large, and she kept no servant. Geor
gia made the yeast, and then left the kitch
en• and went to her chamber, to read in a
new novel which her beau bad lent her.
"Georgia! Georgia!" called her busy
mother several times;
but there was no
Georgia to be found. She then tried Jane.
g( Here, Jane, come and see to the fire;
my hands are in the dough. I wish you
wouldn't all get off out of sight and hear
ing when there is so much to do. What is
Agnes about ?"
" Finishing the book-mark," was the re
f
P • •
" Go and tell her to put that right away,
and sweep .the parlor and set it to rights.
Find Georgia, and tell her to do up the
chamber work, and do you stay here to
help me."
" Yea, mother," was the obedient reply.
The girls all obeyed their mother's or
ders. They never thought of doing other
*ise ; but they never thought of doing any
thing without orders. The 'whole care of
everything rested on their mother, quite as
much now when she was fifty years of age,
feeble and very weary, and the mother of
three healthy, full-grown daughters, as it
did when she was in her .prime,
with a
band of little ones about her. Perhaps the
first fault had been her own ; perhaps she
had not rightly trained her daughters; but
they were old enough now to amend their
mother's mistake. They knew very - well
how miserable her health was; but they
did not seem to realize; as everybody else
did, that unless she could be quite relieved
from care Aid labor, her life would soon be
over. Every day she groaned with weari
ness, and at night and in the nitirning her
limbs ware so stiff titte :0=1(D - hardly bend
them. ,
" Mother, why in the world do n't you
make the girls do more ?" asked her hus
band almost every day of his life;and, as
often, Mrs. Grey replied, "0, tey do a
great deal ! They are always willing to do
all I ask them. They are a great help to
me." Just like a mother ! She can al
ways be wofully imposed upon, if her chil
dren are thoughtless and mean enough to
do it, and she will never own that she is
imposed upon. She'll shield her children
to the last.
The Grey girls ivere always willing to do
what•their mother bade; but they were not
always ready.
" Come, Jennie, 't is. your turn to build
the fire for supper to-night. Run an and
do it; it is almost six o'clock," Mrs. Grey
would say. . •
""Yes, in a minute." In ten, fifteen, or
twenty minutes, Mrs. Grey would Speak
again. _
"Yes, mother'.Pni just going!'
But it would sometimes 'be nearly dark
before there would be any actual move,
and the father and brothers would be home
from their day's work, hungry, and of
course cross, when they saw that supper
was behindhand. It is vain to deny, the
proposition l that , as a general thing, a
hungry man, is a cross one. All woman
kind can testifyto this serious and sugges
tive fact. Poor Mrs. Grey was so tired of
perpetually repeating directions, and of the
effort of causing them to he seasonably, and
properly carried. out, that she often and
often did.the work herself, when she felt
hardly able to crawl, rather than try. to get
the' girls to do it. 0, how thoughtless; and
Unfeeling those daughters were ! They
quietly allowed the mother to do all that
she would, but they were rewarded. They
loved their mother, and they were not really
very cruel or wicked girls. Could they
have had one glance a few months forward,
how utterly changed would have been their
conduct ! But no one of us can see nmo
ment before us.
Suddenly the devoted mother was miss
ing from her post in the kitchen. Shewas
to be waiter and drudge no more; She
died ; but had she been cared for and cher
ished as she should have been, she might
have been the companion and comforter of
her husband and her children_ for many
happy years. When they saw the tired
feet at rest, the worn hands folded, the dim
eyes closed at last, self-reproach took hold
upon them and they wept. They felt that
they might have kept her. They rem,erit
bored all their lazy, careless ways, and how
worn out with care and toil they had al
lowed their, mother to become. Every
groan they had heard her utter came back
to them, and they were filled with remorse
for all that They had failed to do. The
weeks and months only - showed them more
and more plainly what th"ey had lost, and
how guilty they had been. But it wastoo
late to make atonement. All they could
do was to lay the lesson to heart and try to
improve by it. This they all did, and they
cherished the memory of their dead mother
as they never had cherished her.
If any girls who are walking in the ways
of the Grey girls will but take warning by
their punisment, they may perhaps escape a
similar one. There are few agonies more
hard to bear than' to look on a dead face,
most near and dear, and feel that our treat
ment has hastened the parting hour. God
Save us all from that.----Springfield Repub

"I Don't Like My Business."
There is no greater fallacy in the =world,
than that entertained by many young. men
that some pursuit in life can be, found
wholly suited to their tastes, whims and
fancies. This philosopher's stone can never
be discovered, and every one who makes his
life •a search for it, will be ruined, - Much
truth is contained in the Irishman's re
mark: " It is never 6.ry to work hard."
Let, therefore, the -fact be always•remem
bered by the young, that no life work can
be found, entirely agreeable to man. Suc
cess always lies at the top of the hill;;if
we would reach- it, we can do so- only by
hard, persevering effort, while ,beset with
difficulties of every kind. Genius counts
nothing in the battle of life; determined,
obstinate perseverance in one single chan
nel is everything. Hence, should any one
of our young readers be debating in his
mind a change of business, imagining he
has a genius for some other, let him ,at
once dismiss the thought as, he would. a
temptation to do evil. If you think you
made a mistake in choosing the pursuit or
profession you did, don't make another by
leaving it. spend all your energies in work
ing for and clinging to it, as you would to
the life-boat that sustained you in the midst
of the ocean. If, you leave it, it is almost
certain that you will go down ; but if you
.cling to it, informing yourself about it till
you are its master; - bending your every en
ergy to the work, success is certain. Good,
hard, honest effort, steadily 'persevered in,
will make yclur love for your business or
profession grow; since no one should ex
pect to ?each a period when he can feel that
his life-work is just the one be could haie
done best, and would have liked best.

degradation to which it tends, becomes an
assemblage of bald mountains, of barren;
turfless hills, and of swampy and malarious
Thins. There are parts of Asia Minor, of
Northern Africa, of Greece, and even of
Alpine Europe, where the operation of
causes set in action by man bas brought
the face of the earth to a desolation almost
as complete as that of the moon ; and
though, within that brief space of time
which we call the historic period," they
are known to have been covered with luxu
riant woods, verdant pastures, and fertile
meadows, they are now too far deteriorated
to be reclaimable by man; nor can they be
come again fitted for human use, except
through great geological changes, or other,
mysterious influences or agencies of which
we have no present knowledge, and over
which we have no prospective control.
The earth is fast becoming an unfit home
for its noblest inhabitant, and another era
of equal human crime and hurnan;improv
idence, and of like duration with that
through which traces of that crime and
that improvidence extend, would reduce it
to such a condition of impoverished pro
ductiveness, of shattered surface, of; cli
matic excess, as to threaten the deprava
tion, barbarism, and perhaps' even extinc
tion of the seethes. .
True, there , is a partial reverse to
,this
picture. 'On narrow theatres, new forests
have been planted; inundations of flowing
streams restrained by heavy walls of ma
sonry and other constructions; Vrien ts

with which they are charged, in filling up

tides, has been rescued from its dominion
by iking; swamps and even lakes have
been drained, and their beds brou . ght with
in the domain of agricultural : .industry ;
drifting coast dunes have been checked
and made productive by plantation; 'seas
and inland waters have been re-peopled
with fish, and even the sands of - the Sahara
have been fertilized by artesian fountains.
These achievements are more glorious than
the proudest triumphs of war, but, thus
tar, they give but faint hope that we shall
yet make full atonement for our spend.
thrift waste of the bdUnties . of nature.
It is '
- on the one hand, rash and unphilo
sophieal to attempt to set limits to the ul
timate power of man over inorganic nature,
and it is unprofitable, on the other, to spec
ulate on What maybe accomplished by the
discoverY of now unknown amLunimagined
natural threes, or . even hy the invention of
new arts and new processes. But since we
haVe seen mrostation, the motive power of
elastic vapors, the wonders of modern tele
graphy, the destructive explosiveness of
gunpowder, and even of a 'substance so
harmless, unresisting, and inert as cot
ton, nothing in the way of mechanical
aehievement seems inninpsible, and it is
hard to restrain the imagination, from wan
dering forward a couple of generations to
an epoch when our descendants shall have
advanced as far beyond us in physical con
quest, as we have marched beyond the
trophies erected by our grandfathers.
I must therefore be understood .to mean
only, that no agencies now known to man
and directed.by him, seem adequate to the
reducing of great Alpine precipices, to such
slopes as would enable them to iiipport
vegetable clothing, or to the covering of
large extents. of
,ddriuded rock with earth,
and planting upon them a forest growth.
But.among the mysteries which science is
yet to reveal, there may be still undiscov
ered methods of accomplishing even grand
er wonders than these. Mechanical.philos
ophers have suggested the possibility of
accumulating and treasuring up for human
use some of the greater natural forties,
which the action of the elements pits
forth with such astonishing energy. Could
we gather, and bind, and make subservient
to our control, the power which a West In
dian hurricane exerts through a small area
in •one continuous blast, or the momentum
expended ity the waves, in a tempestuous
Winter, upon the breakwater at Cherbourg,
or the • lifting power of the tide, for a
month, at the head of the Bay of Fundy,
or the pressure of a square mile of sea
water at the depth of five"thousand fath
mils, or a moment of the might of an .earth
quake or a volcano, our age—which moves
no mountains and casts them into the sea
by faith alone—might hope to scarp the
rugged walls of the Alps'and Pyrenees and'
Mount Taurus, iobe them once more in a
vegetation as rich as that of their pristine
woods, and turn their wasting torrents into
refreshing streams.
Could this old world, which man has
overthrown, be rebuilded; could human
cunning rescue its wasted hillsides and its
deserted plains from solitude or mere
nomad° occupation, from barrenness, from
nakedness, and from insalubrity, and re
store the ancient.fertility and healthfulness
of the Etruscan sea coast, the Campagna
and the Pontide marshes, of- - Calabria, of
Sicily, of the Peloponnesus and insular
and continental Greece, of Asia Minor, 'of
the slopes of lebanon and Hermon, of
Palpstine, of the Syrian desert, of Mesopo
tamia and the delta of the Euphrates, of
the Cyrenaica, of Africa proper; Numidia,
and Mauritania, the thronging millions of
Europe might still find room on the' East
ern continent,. and the' main current 'of
emigration be turned toward the rising in
stead of the Setting sun.
'lt is a matter of great moment to the
general interests of humanity, that the fu
ture operations of rural husbandry and of
forest• industry, in districts yet remaining
substantially in their.native condition,
should be so condncted as to prevent the
widespread mischiefs which have been
elsewhere produced by thoughtless or wan
ton destruction of the natural safeguards
of the soil. This can be done only by the
diffusion of knowledge on this subject
among the, classes that, in earlier days,
subdued and tilled ground in which they
had no vested rights, but who, in our time,
own their woods, their pastures, and their_
plOughlands as a perpetual possession for
them arid theirs, and have, therefore, a
strong interest in the protection of their
domain against deterioration.—Hon. Gee.

Early Sheep Shearing—Washing. •
No real lover of his , flock drives his
sheep to the washing without a feeling akin
to remorse. He would not do it were it
not that he, beli•aves that the market de
mands wool washed on the back. Though
it is true that washed wools sell more read
ily, yet in tunes Ake these where any and
all wools are quickly taken up, 0,12 opportu
ray for reform is offered which 'ought not
to be oveilooked. Sheep which are to be
washed ought not to be sheared before set
tled warm weather. In many seasons this
will not come before- the last of June.
They are then in muc h, less danger of tak
ing cold and receiving, permanent injury.
They ought
,to be washed only in water
which is so warm that the washers do not
find it uncomfortable to stand in itlwith
the sheep. The shock to the flock, of the
immersion in cold water and . being subse:
quently eaposed to raw winds—followed by
being reduced tO a state of absolute naked
ness, is sufficient cause to account for
" snuffles," and prevalent Ituag difficulties.
The rule in regard to washing is-to-wash
as little as possible; but even this involves
the necessity of thoroughly wetting the
entire fleece. It is a great object, to have
the sheep sheared as early .as they can be,
and fully a month may be gained if they
are shorn without washing. The 'fleece
starts better, the sheep seem actually bene
fitted, weakly ones often brighten up and
do well; and all are in- much better ,condi
tion to bear the autumnal storms which
often come' before the-flocks are sufficiently
clad,,to bear the change well. Contagious
diseases are not unfrequently communi
cated by farmers using the same washing
pens with their neighbors, which may be
unavoidable.
If the sheep be shorn unwashed, par
ticular care should:be taken4o have them
all well tagged, and all dirt removed which
is not too thoroughly incorporated with
the fleece. The discount of one-third in
'price for:unwashed wool is not fair, yet
the farmer may weir submit to it for the
advantage Iris flock gains, if it : be a value
bre oneknowing that like.other abuses it
will be corrected by time. Sheep should
be"shorn on smooth, clean floors, by careful,
humane, quick, experienced men.. The
cleardilfess of the floor, the removal of dung
and straw brought in upon. thd feet, are
important..--Amer. 4gficutturist.
About Whit9washing.
The time for cleaning and fixing up has
come, and one of the most important items
is whitewashing. We often wonder that peo
ple do not do more at this. HoWmuch neater
altd more cheerful a whole place looks, if a .
few hours are spent in whitewashing,the
f e nce, the outhouses, the cellars, &e..; it
changes the whole appearance of the home
stead. One day's wOrk thus expended will
often make a place twice as attractive and
add hundreds of dollars to its saleable val
uation. Whitewashing a cellar with lime
not only makes it lighter and nOater, • but
more healthful, also. For cellars a simple
mixture of fresh slacked lime is-best. For
house rooms, the common " Paris-white "
to be bought cheaply, is very good. We
take for each two pounds of whiting, an
ounce of the best transparent glue cover it
with cold water over night, and in the
morning simmer it carefully without scorch
ing,
.until 'dissolved. The Paris-white is
then put in 'hot water, and the dissolved
glue stirred in, with hot water enough to
fit it for applying to the walls and ceil
ings. This makes a very fine white, so
firm that it will not rub off at all. When
common fresh-slacked lime is used, some
recommend adding to each two and a half
gallons (a pailful), two tablespoonfuls of
salt and half a pint of boiled linseed oil,
stirred in well while the mixture is hot.
This is recommended for out-door and in
door work. For an. out-door whitewash,
we have used ; the 'following with much sat
isfaction : Take a tub, put in a peck of
lime and plenty of water to slack it: When
hot with slacking, stir in thoroughly about
half a pound Of tallow or other grease, and
mix it well in. Then add hot water enough
for use The compound will withstand
rain for years.—American Agriculturist.
Corn lor Fodder.
Every fariner who keeps cows, who
makes hay and has less than he can use to
advantage, or who on any account wishes
to increase either his Summer or Winter
fodder,
ought to sow corn. The preferable
sorts for this purpose are the largest kinds
of sweet corn, and next, the large. Southern
or. Western varieties. The seed is usually
soaked and sowed'rither late in the season,
broadcast. It is much better to sow in,
drills. The land-should be in high condi
tion., and" a liberal dressing of good stable
or other ammoniacal manure is advanta
geous. Turn light furrows with a one
horse plow, three feet - apart; scatter the
seed, so that about ten kernels will fall :in
a foot This is done very easily and-rapid
ly. Cover with a sharp-toothed harrow, or
a harrow turned bOttom side 'up. , It is no
disadvantage if the seed be scattered con
siderably. After the corn comes up, cul
tivate at least twice; and after this, before
cuttingfor curing, go through and pull, any
large weeds which ,mly . have Started, as
these may impart a bad flavor to the milk,
when', fed to the cows.
The crop is not an'exhausting one ' al
though a weight of four tons of dried fod
der is sometimes taken from an acre. No
seed ripens hence the draft upon the min
eral ingredients of the soil is not great.
This affords a most excellent green fodder'
during the heat of August and September,
when grass often fails Land when dried f
gives an article nearly if not fully equal to
good meadow, hay, especially as fodder for
Agriculturist.
When to Plant Corn.
Field Corn planted early in May has
usually to be replanted once or twice. This
makes much unnecessary labor, for that
planted some weeks later, usually ripens at

not rot in the ground, the poor little yellow
blades are frost bitten, and their

son, which in the latitude of most of New-
England, New-York and westward is after
the middle of May in almost all seasons;
and often it is not best to plant before the
first of June. \No fault is more surely re
pented of than too early planting of corn.
If well soaked, and placed in a warm soil,
corn is very soon above ground, and a few
warm days place it beyond fear of harm
from cutworms, white grub, wire worms or
crows—whereas that planted early in the
month must do battle with all these for
several weeks, if it survive the dampness
and the frosts.--Amer. Agriculturist.
Potatoes. —lt may interest American
farmers to know that in France potatoes
have been safely grown, free from disease,
by merely planting them in June instead, of
April. Experiments carried on with care
through several years appear to justify the
opinion that, by, planting in April, the
roots become corrupted by the alternations
of frost and heat
Spongb Cake. .. Take five eggs, one-half
pint of sugar, and one pint of flour. Break
the eggs into a large xneat plate, stirin the
sugar, then with: a broad knife beat them
until no raw egglarns up, which will take
about half an hour. Next stir in the flour
gently, as beating then would' make it
tough; flavor to taste, and bake in a round
tin basin. This.xnakes a nice , bat for fam

milk warmed. Let it rise about two hours,

MEXICAN MIISTANG. LINIMENT.
The parties in St. Louie and Cincinnati, who have been
Counterfeiting the Mustang Liniment' under - pretense of
proprietorship, have been thoroughly eetoped by the Courts.
To guard against further imposition, I have procured from
the 11. S. Treasury, a private steel plate revenue atamii,
which is placed over the top -of each bottle. Each stamp
bears the foe sfraiy. of my Signature,. and without which
the article is a Counterfeit, dangerous and. Worthless linita
tiod. Examine every bottle. This Liniment has been in use
and growing in favor for many years. There hardly exists
a hamlet on the habitable Globe that does not contain evi
dence of its wonderful effects. It is the best emollent frith°
world. With its' resent improved ingredients; ita.effects
upon man and beast are perfectly "remarkable. Bores are
healed, pains relieved, lives saved, valuable animals made
useful, and untold ills assuaged. For cuts, braises, sprains;
rheumatism, swellings, bites, cuts, caked breasts, sprained
horses, &c.:, it is a Sovereign -Remedy that should never be
dispensed with. It should be in every family. Sold by all
