Dvaixe Monday forenoon at Ottawa a story was current/chiefy in Opposition circles, that a circular had been issued by . the Manufacturer's Association protest­ ing against tbo jwoposed duties on copl. Enquiry made of Mr. Frazer, Secretary of the Association, reveals tho fact that there is not the slightest ground for tho rumor. There bus been no intention to issue any circular of the kind, nor was it ever discussed by tho members of the Association. T h e reply given by the Postmaster- General in the llonse of Commons on Monday to the question relating to the salary of the Toronto Postmaster was a disappointing,one to the Opposition. It had been announced in some of the lead­ ing Grit organs that the salary of the new Postmaster would be $4,000, an ex­ cess of $500 over that of Mr. Leslie. The statement was made in ignorance, as was shown when Hon. Mr. Langevin announced that Sir. Patterson’s salary would be $3,000 per annnaty $500 less1 titan1 Mv. AesKc Had received: A FAUTKCeT containing & petition to tbo Governor-General from the Credit Valley Railway Company has been dis­ tributed among tbe members of tho IIexist. Tbe object of the petition is to secure a right to use the esjilanado as a way of entrance to the city <rf Toronto, which right m now churned escftisively by tlw Norlkem Bailway Company. Tt asks that an enquiry be rmmodiatelyJut- stituted by the Government into all tbo facte and circumstances of the case, and that steps bo taken to adjust and settle the rights of all parties in tho premises on a just and equitable basis. It also urges remedial legislation in regard to the rigkteoFrofl way companies with rcs- jiect tb-crossings andtrafEc arrangements, and recommends- the establishment of some new method’ of dealing with rail­ way interests in the Dominion, such as a j<-rnsmcnt commission, either conjointly with the several Provincial Governments of the country as may be deemed expe­ dient. A statement is given with the petition showing that bonuses to the ex tent of $1,100,000 have been granted to- tbe Credit Valley by certain municipali­ ties, and $575,000 by tho Province.

Tb* fifth annua) convention of th* Ox­ ford County Sabbath School Association w m held at th* rillege of Embro on Tu*«- dny and Wednesday of last week, 25th and 26th February. Arrangements were made with th* Pt. Dover, Lake Huron, Great Western and Credit Valley Railways for carrying parties wishing to atlonil tb* con­ vention at reduced ratee, ffom any part of tbe County to Beacbville and return, at which plaeo conveyances were in waiting to carry them to tbe village, free of charge. On arriving in Embro comfortable home* were provided for them, aud every possible means used to contribute to the welfare and happiness of all. Whatever else the people of Embro may tack one thina is certain, they are not lacking in kindness and hospitality, and wo ore auro tho gen- eroua manner iu which it was bestowed on tbe strangers they entertained during the two days of the convention will not soon be forgotten, but will be looked back to aa one of tbo brightest, most profitable nud happy events in their life bistoryi Mr. James Gordon, the indefatigable Secretary of the Association, bad made every possi­ ble effort to secure the co-operation of Christian workers in tbe county nnd else­ where, and we aro pleased to know that hi* tabors were crowncd'with success. It is no longer a question whether Sabbath Schools nre useful or not, tho great pro­ blem presented now being, “How esn they be made more efficient.” That tho County of Oxford is fully alive to tbe im­ portance of tbe work is evidenced by tbe deep interest taken ia tbe success of this meeting, nud likewise from tho reports of schools in tbe rural districts, which it bus been customary to close during ths winter monUr*, but many of which are now kept open throughout tho ycara We trust tbat a glorious harveei will bo tho record of tbo faithful teachers, who-deem it their privi­ lege end duty to bo engaged and' continue in the work* when tl'rey reset again in con­ vention on a coming year. A drifting north-east snow storm put somewhat of a check-rein on tbe attendance at the firs; session, but in tbe afternoon iv good I v numl cr arrived, and at all the succeeding meetings somewhere nesr 200 delegates must have been in attendance, which was so largely augmented al Hie evening sessions by the people of Embro nnd vicinity tbat the churchos were ffiled to overflowing.

A short prayer meeting was held while the above committee was preparing a re­ port, conducted by Mr. McEwen. The nominating committee then sub­ mitted their report, which recommended tbe appointment of lire following officers for tbo current ye?r;— President—James Barr, Norwich.

' Convention resumed in the afternoon, Mr. McEwen, vice-president elect in the chair, who, in the absence of Mr. Barr, made a few suggestions in lieu of the pre si- dent's address. He said tbat it greet many people had vague ideas of tbe Sabbath School and ot Babbath School work, people who thought that if their cbifdrenr attended the school and studied' a littlo by memory, and were asked a few questions by their teacher that ideas would bo started in tneir minds that would at sone future time re­ sult in fipod, which would be all that is neeeseary, but ha didn't believe iu idea* loomiug in the distance. Children should be taken and drilled—should ba made to sit down aud study, and not uutil then would any great amount of good bo tbe re­ sult. There were others, again, who were S ia r tic u la r whether their children the Sabbath School or not, and if on did attend it was perhaps to one school to another, not re- rery long in any .These be ropresen- animal turned out upon thebigh- int ils own living, which would be out from ptaco to place until at f tbo year it was only a faint scinbtauce of its former self, and contrast­ ed its fato with that cf one carefully housed and provided for. Those who did not be­ long to any one particular church should not bo surprised if their children bad very little respect for any. He strongly sup­ ported tho international system of lessons. Hymn—“ Tho Lord's My Shopherd.” Mr. J. C. Galloway next addressed tho meeting on "Tho Superintendent's weikaud Qualifications." This, lie said, woo n time of organizations. Too much was sai l in the Sunday School and too much ma­chinery ailmiltod tbat is not very well worked. If tboro is anything wo univer­ sally need it is good men ns superinten­ dents and trained teachers. Tho superin­tendent's work might be divided into two classes—outside and inside the school. He should bo particular in regard to bis atti­tude toward his teachers. The superinten­ dent’s work wa* not so- much with tbo scholars, but through the teachers to thoscholars. Ho should call on absentee teachers and learn tbo cause of their ab-1 eence, and perhaps invite them to bis home, where they could have friendly intercourse.His preparation should bo tho very best he can make it. IIo should lake up the lesson early in tho week, and should bo soprepared tbat ho can direct tho teacher of tho infant class, tho general school, aud should even bo prepared to direct thoteacher of the Bible Class. Tho organiza­ tion of tlie school denends. on tho superin­ tendent, aud it required a good deal otskill to divide them aright, so that classes j 1 may not bo funned of scholars with differ- ' ent grades of ability. Ho should devoteall the time and' means be possibly can to; tho work. There aru many ways of study- , in" tflfclcswon, and many incidents goiugthe roaLds iu tho papers—both religions and secular—that would be of interest. If ’ he improperly prepared he will bo nblo toI tell all a boo I tlx> fo.««on nt the teachers’ , mcetan", which should bo held weekly. Tbe church, also, should toko up tiro work' of rhe Sunday School, and assist the super- 1 iutandeut and teacher, all working tn- ’ gelber for tb* general welfare cf tbo othoo).) The superiuteudMU’s qualifications should t bo ia proportion to tho amount of work bo bos to do. A great many difliculties badto bo overcome, both with respect to tbe s teachers nod scholars, bnt faithful, earnest and prayerful tabor would bo abundantly re­warded. Love nnd kindness was essential­ ly necessary, the tpporito being of little avail. This he beautifully illustrated byleaf-covered trees tbat are frequently seen on Ibo suburbs of our forests iu winter, on whoso tenaciousleava* all tbe violence of thewithering blasts and pelting storms have bod no effect, but under tho influence of gonial showers and tin warm rays of the«un in spring, winch brought forth delicate buds, 4hey dropped aud made way for their succiwors. Hymn-—" I N'C*d Theo every Hatrr”Prof. Montgomery rJUwed tho train ofthought already dwelt on by Mr. Galloway. Mr. Gordon thought the schokre in a Sabbath School should be graded as ia C’ir putaic school*.Mr.Salmon suggested that too many les­ son talya might bo detromeutal to the suc­ cess ofboth taachm-aand scholars,** it mightlead tlu?ra to neglect tlw help of God and the Bible.Mr. Card snid superintendent* were mostsuccessful whose heart and soul were ia the school, and who were able to govern all unruly sehotara with Ijvm and kindness.Hymn—** Nearer my God to Thee." Next followed Rev. G. Musro, of Kin­ tore, on “ The Teacher's Qualifications.”lie Irehl that perhaps the qualifications of a teacher was of even more importance-than that of the superintendent, but ofconrao bo would not restrict tbat of tbe latter. If the teachers are not qua'ified to carry «wt tbo instructions of the superin­tendent bis efforts will fall to the ground. He thought that a natural aptitude torteaching wae essential to successful work. It wra necessary iu tire public schools, andwould apply here. Tbe'successful teacharmust have some knowledge of human uature. All children could not be treated iu tbe same way. The preparation of ateacher shorrid be of sucii a high standing thnt he or she could look upon tba subject from all side*—should even ba made apart of one’s own nature—and tbo best way to g*t f bat preparation was to go to tba word of God. Use all tbe lesson helpsyou can, eomnsentoiiea if you will, but un­ less yon go to the fountain bead you will foil to mako that Hopression on your classthat the-word of ImxI would enable you to do. Every Sabbath Hebool teacher should have a clear and distinct kmrwledg* of thedoctrines of the Bible. He would not re­ commend any dogmatism in reteraucs thereto, but there was certain principles intlio Bibl* apart from which no one couh) enjoy tho real happiness of salvation. Whoyrould trust their child to tho teaching of on* who WM rather sceptical with regard to the inspNation of the Bible, and it wasnot an oneom?ion thing to find those who ; talked as if they L<i«ved that certain por­ tico* of it wer* not inspired.

The Sabbath School is but a purl of the church, and he looked upon it a* one of the must essential parts.

Thehouse is being renovated throughout, and everything will bo done to enhance tlmcomfort of guests who may be desirous of putting up there. We wish Mr. Blewett every success in the undertaking, and weknow be will receive a hearty welcome from our follow townspeople.

Woodstock Cttuttcii Tkourlh.—A cores­ pondent writing from Woodstock, says :— The trouble between the Pastor aud Trus­ tees of tho C. M. Church, Woodstock, which have caused a greater commotion in clerical aud lay circles in connection with the Methodist Church throughout Ontario, than any other circumstance for a long period, aro happily at an end for tho pre­ sent, Tho President of tbo Conference having been appealed to, gave hi* decisionthat tho trustees were guilty of an offence 1 Against tho discipline of tbe Church in < closing tbo sacred edifice. Tho Church ' was therefore opened for divine worship on * Sunday, and the service* were, conducted, 1 as before the trouble*, by the pastor, Mr. Parker. Notwithstanding several note- 'wor hy feature* mentioned hereafter, a 1 stranger, igno aul of the recent troubles, 1 would not hsvs noticed anything different 1 from the usaal appearance of the Church. The mo*t noteworthy feature which struck' a person on entering the Church was (hetotal absence of pew usher* and of tbe choir, who were represented by a solitary gentleman, in addition to being from fif­teen or twenty voices. The congregation was a very limited but extremely decorous and devout one, with tho exception of1 four or five who walked out of tho church i just prior to tbe oomnieneeinont of the ser­mon, one of whoir put on bis hat whilst ’ still in his pew, and gathering together liis books under his arm walked out. Withthe exception of this little episode, tbeservice was conducted tu a most orderly > manner,end listened to with attention andreverenee-All allusion to the recent troubles was avoided by the minister throughout tbe services, which part was afterwards com­mented upon iu the town as ale-wing a very judicious discretion; considerabledissatistMtion was al»o expressed at the conduct of those gentleman who left the church in so uecremenious a mannerduring the progress of divine service. Tbe stewards and trustees were for th* greaterpari couzpicaoa* by their absence.

The finest wheat in the world is grown inBarbary and Egypt—a fact which has alwaysexisted and always will, ou account of clima­ tic iuflnences. A box 8 inches by 8 inches square and 11inchen deep, contains a peck, A box 23 inohes by 15 and one fifth inches square and8 inches deep, will contain a bushel. Skin cleanliness has a groat effect on the assimilation of food. It has been proved thatpigs that are washed pnt on a fifth more fleshthan pigs that ai e unwashed. A Conneticat fanner’s experimenting ha*taught him that English turnips are worthtwenty-five cents a bushel to feed milch cows,and should bo fed just before milking. To prevent ordon from cooking pnt one nrtwo red peppers or a few pieeea of charcoal into the not when ham, cabbage, etc., isboiling, and the house will not bo filled withoffensive odor. Beechwood is one of the best materials for making butter-boxes for grocers’ use. Theyaro marie by the million, and snld at fromtwenty to seventy cents per hundred, ac­ cording to sixr? Persons who store harness ” under foot "may like to know that dressing of oil in whichcayenne pepper is mixed—at the rate of a tea- poonful to a pint—is said to afford auro pro­tection against gnawing of rats. The temperature of a cellar may bo sud­denly raised by burning a sauceful of al­ cohol. A kettle of live wood coals will soonwarm it np to the ^esired point, but con­siderable carbonic acid gas will be genera­ ted. A poor farmer and poor man in ono is in­dicated by the dilapidated and forlon con­ dition of the farm buildings. A thrifty far­mer, on the other hand, will keep all hisbuildings in good repair and looking neat. Thero have been settled in 1878 20,000.000acres of new laud by not less th.wi 100,000familes. These persons are said to be mostly Americans. They aro small farmers from"the Eastern or older Western States, ormechanics, trades-people and their clerks who have found their business slack or un­profitable in the largo cities. D. J. Briggs of Turner, Maine, practicesthe shearing of bis sheep as early as AprilIf there arc any vermin on the sheen he getsrid of them by early shearing. He has taken off 3 ' pounds of wool in April, keeping ittill August, when its weight had increased.After shearing ho takes good care of the slioep for eight or ten days, and bis flocksuffers no injury from the cold. A breeder of poultry says " Farmers willfeed a bushel of corn to produce six poundsof pork, while the same amount ot corn willkeep a good laying hen one year, and she I will produce at least twelve dozen eggs,aveisz ng eighteen cents per dozen whichwould eiusl two dollars and sixteen eents ; in addition she would rear a brood of chickworth at much more, making a total of nearlyfive dollar, against six pounds of pork at ten cents, equalling sixty cents ; or in otherwords, the han will yeild seven times asmuch for the feed. Stabling In Sammer. W. M. V., wants me to tell him how tokeep his stable cool in summer, while accom­odating forty-eight cows. Ho wishes to suQ a part of tho summer. He now finds it too warm tn put so many in the stable, even tomilk them, in hnt weather. I could better tellhim tho best thing to do. if he had stated the construction of his stable. It may be inferedthat his stable is net provided with non con­ducting outside walls. A stable, to be cord in summer, should be warm in winter, Whenthe walls arc stone laid in mortar, or better,made of concrete, they will bo poor conduc­ tors of heat or cold, and consequently thoroom thus inclosed will be coo) in summer,except when heated by the bodies ef animalsStabled in it My basement is surrounded by A concrete wall IS inches thicket bottomand 12 inches at top, which is eqnal to a 21-inch stone wall in non conducting qualities;no frost comes through in winter, and it isremarkably cool in summer. My bam is tight boarded with narrow matched stuff;consequently the air in the upper part of the Lara It cooler than the external air. The airin this basement is very cool and comfort.bloin the hottest summer day ; but when filledwith animals it is, necessary to have a cir­ culation of frtth air, and the external airbeing too warm, we get it from the barn above,which is thoroughly ventilated from tho cupola,- As co6| air deccnds and heated airrites, a seterf tubes (made of matched stuff) 9by 1C inches inside, are placed around theoutside wall, half of them coming just Ixslow tl e basement ceiling, and extending up to thoplates-— the other half reaching down withinono foot of the bhsement floor, and extending up juetabove the coiling of tho basementThose tubes that go down the lowest, willdischarge the cooler air, and the upper ones tho heated air. This arrangement will keepup a circulation throughout the ^basement,without ventilating from doors or windows. When the ventilators are all tho same posi­tion. cool air will come down on one aide andheated air will go up on the other, but the circulation is not so complete as in the meth­od of constructing them alternately high andlow, The aides of my octagon barif are 33 feet 2 inches, and a tube at each corner isdeem sufficient. 'A better way still to induce cool air is by sub carth duct, and discharge the heated airas mentioned above. The earth ia a purifieras well as cooler of the air passing through itIshouVl Lave used this sub-earth duct had not the floor of my basement been rock, amivery expensive excavating a trench deepenough, besides the rock would not act so well as a purifier as the soil. My basement is in­tended for forty head of tows or cattle, andsix hones, but has not yet Iwen fully occu pied etlt ia evident from the practicaloperation, that this basement is much coolerfor that i umber of animals than any shady posture—so that the stable properly conatuc-ted is more comfortable than a pasture forcows. If I have pasture,that needs cropping in very hot weather, I turn the cows out after milking at 0 o’clock pm:, and leayethem till milking time in the morning, thenkeep them in the stable through the day. This saves them much annoyance from flies,lu thia case three feeds are given in thestable, taking care not to feed more than iaeaten clean. Family Matter. To Cure a Corn.—A poly” a doth or piece ot oottoa,|kepl oonstently tel with camphifr,and the sonueao, and finally tho corn itselfwill disappear. To Polish Flat Irons.—Have the irons quits hot, rub a piece of beeswax lightly over thosurface of each iron ; then run smartly on awoollen cloth. Many keep a flanuul cloth al hand, and polish thoir irons weekly bofurucommencing to iron. To Cure Cankered Sore Mouth. — Gargle with alcohol diluted with half water, or, if iiran bo borne, with less propartion of water.Dry aulphur, applied directly to tho caukers, will often cure. In yonug children, whentho gargle cannot bo used the diluted alcoholmay bo used with a swab. Alcohol applied immediately-will give in-tant relief ti burns and scalds, and gener­ally prevents blistering. ‘ If it is a part of the body that cannot bo immersed in the alcohol,apply it with a piece of cotton wet with itKeep it saturated with it. Avoid the firowhen using it, as it is inflammable. To Renovate Black Merino.—Rip the drossapart, then soak tho goods in warm soap-sudstwo hours ; dissolve one ounco of extract of logwood in a bowl of warm water, add suf­ficient warm water to cover tho goods, whichis to be taken from the suds without wringingin tlie morning rinse in several waters, with­ out wringing in the last water ; add one nintof sweet milk ; iron while damp ; it will looklike new. Remove Dampness.—In damp closets and cupboards genrxtinz mildew a trayful nfquick-limo will bo found to absorb the mois­ture and render the air pure—of course it isnsceesary to renew the liino from time to time as it becomes fully slacked. This re­medy will be found useful in safes and strongrooms, the damp air of which acts frequently most injuiously on the valuable deoh anddocumenta which they contain. To Promote Sleep.—The British Medical Journal gives advice to persons unfortunateenough to stiffer from cold feet and sleepless­ness ; the latter evil, it says, being a natu­ ral and inevitable consequence of the first.There is only one effectual way, it declares,to warm cold feet, and that is to dip them in­to cold water, and then rub them briskly with a coarse towel. This remedy has at least theadvantage of great simplicity. Cleansing.—Don’t let scratches on paint worry you any longer. Cuta sour orange orlemon in h ilt ; apply the. cut half to themarks, rubbing fora mnmigjt quite hard ; then wash them off with a clean rag, dippedfirst in water to moisten it, and then in whit­ing. Rub well avith this rag, dry thoroughly, and nine times out of ten the ugly marks willvanish. Of course, sometimes they aroburned in so deeply that they cannot be era­ dicated. Economical Scrip.— Into a stewpan put the bits and bones left from a roast, add to it acarrut cutin dice, some herbs, a little shredcubage, and toil till the nutriment is extracted from the uicak say an hour and a half ; theniuto tho sonp put a pint of grated corn, half adozen fresh tomatoes, an onion finely minecd, boil fifteen or twenty minutes, strain thougha sieve, heat to the boiling point again, andserve. The Herald of Health SAya that sleepingafter dinner is a bad practice, an 1 that tenminutes before dinner is worth more than an honr after. It rests and refreshes and prepares the systeqi for vigorous digestion.

To Exnel Moths.—In Russia, where the ravages of the moth commit Buch extensivemischief, it becomes a subject of importanceto find some counteracting agency.

A Suggestion.—A sick room slnnl I b? kept as quietus possible. In cases of severe illnessthere is nothing more annoying to the patient than the noise made by pjuring coal into astove to replenish the fire.

A lady requests ns to mention the very simple plan of filling a paper bag or tunnelwith coal and having it in readiness to gently place upon tho fire.

In a certain London boardiug-liouse, notfar from Regent's Park, the gnest who comes iu lata at night will sometimes see a side-saddle lying on the floor iu the lowerhall. Usually it has disappeared before he ia down in the morning. If not, a finely- formed, lieallhy-facod young English wo­man will be one of the Anglo-Amerioau company that gathers at the break feast table. She is its owner. Tho boarding­house is her horns. Riding hor.es nt races and at sales is her occupation. An orphan, of respectable parentage, obliged to sup­port herself, tiro avunnee to a livililrood that opened before such a young girl assho, iu the crowded, elbowing life ot Eng­ land, were lew and unpromising. She hud an English woman’s love of animals andout-door occupations. And she bad daunt­ less, magnificent physical courage. So she drifted into this strange life. She findsemployment from one end of England_t°. the other. One morning obe is off by cab,her saddle beside her, fur a horse market in the east of Londou. The next, perhaps, she is hurrying from her early breakfast totake the train at King’s Cross for Don­ caster. There is no horse so vicious thatshe hesitates to mount him. He may fall with her; ho cannot throw her. Sho is seut for to ride horses that mon dare notor will not; horses that have killed thoir riders more than onco and that will do their best to kid her. But she has a repu­tation that, for bread’s sake and shelter's sake, she cannot afford to lose, and she never declines to. mount a horse because itis daugeroue to do so. One night she comes homo bruised end week—her horsefell on hor to-day. Another, her fnae flushes with satisfaction as sho telle her kind friend, the Inudlady, that her horse won tho race. She is intelligent nnd wo­manly—just as womanly as if her work kept her in au office or behind a counter,instead of amoug stahls-keepors, jockeys and sporting-men.—Cleveland Leader. Bicbness Both Ways. He had been silting still to long that the mother expected to find him asleep:•' Well, Harry, what are you thinking of?” Mn, are we very rich ?" Ire solemnlyenquired, by way of reply. “ Iu one way wo are, she said, "your father says ho values ma at three mill! ndollars, you at twu million, and the baby at one.” That closes tho conversation on thatsubject,but tho next morning, as Hany was getting on his overcoat, bo exatuhxdth. new patch wlfloh had been added, ntd ooollv observed : “ Well, I think father had bettor sail offabout halt of you or the whole of the baby and got the rest of us some decent duds to put on.” The San Francisco Female Lawyer Mrs. Clara S. Folz is a lady who ispractising law iu San Francisco, and who, judging from report, has gone abnut herbusiness in a practical and reasonable manner. She is described as sitting in l;er office at a table covered wilh legal works—a bright, fair-haired, rosy-feutnrod, cheer­ ful, matronly woman, neatly attired in a dress of dark material, over whiah wasworn a most nuu-judicial checkered npron. To an interviewer sire said : “ There is nothing to be said about mo. I originatedfrom the cradle, the wash-tub, the sewing- maohine and the cook-stove.

Don’t think when yon have won a wifethat you have also won a slave. Don's thiuk that your wife has less feel­ ing than your sweetheart. Her relationto von is changod, not hor nature. Don't think that you can dispense wilh tho litltlo civilities of life towards hor onmarrying. Sho aporcciates those things quite as much ns other women. Don't bo gruff and rude st home. Hud yon boon that sort of a fellow before mar­riage, tho probabilities nre that yon would be sewing on your own buttons still. Don't moke your wife feel that she is anincumbrance ou you by giving hor grudg­ ingly. What she uceds give as cliecrfullv ns if it wore a pleasure so to do. Sire will feel better, nnd so will you.Don’t meddle in the affairs of the bonso under her charge. Yon have no tnoro right to bo poking your nose into thekitchon than she has to walk into your place of business and give directions to your employees.Don't find fault with hor extrovagnneo in ribbons, &o., until you have r-hut down on oignrs, tobacco, beer, &e.Don't leave yonr wife at homo to nurse the children on tho score of economy,while you bolt down town at nights, to see the show, or spend n dellar ou billiards. Don't bolt yonrsnppor, nnd hurry off tospend evenings, lounging around away from vnur wife. Before marrisgo you couldn’t spend .voiir evenings enough withher. Don't prowl in the loafing resort* till midnight, wasting your time in culpableidleness, leaving your wife lonely at homo to brood over yonr ncgk-ct and her disap­ pointment.Don’t think that b»ar1 and clothes nre sufficient for all a wife dees for you. SANFORD’S RADICAL CURE Calve sand Sheep. Lard and kerosene aro coed to keep lice from calves ; sulphur mixed with salt is goodto drive ticks from sheep. Calves, like ailanimals, should he kept growing from birth to maturity. Here is one place where theprofit comes in. There is always a loss oftime and feed and more, too, by allowingyoung animals to “ stand still ” for six months or more of the year. Sheep are wellclothed and need shelter from snow and rainand perhaps from the very strongest winds,but cohl agrees with, them. Feed them well; give them plenty ef water, in raraJl flocks ;keep them ary, And they may stay mtl in thecold aud.thrive. A dose, dark pen is a poor place for sheep. Gems of Thought, The fust time n man decivcs yon, the fault is bis ; if ho deceives you lb* secondtime, the fault is your own. Ho who, with wealth, lias a true wife, a dutiful child, a true friend, may laughadversity to scorn, and defy the world. A passionate man should be regarded with the same caution as a loaded blunder­buss which may accidentally go off and do us an injury. If none wore to reprove the vicioux, ex­cepting those who eiucerely hate vice, there would be much less censoriousnessin the world. Do not despise the opinion of the world ; you might as well say that you care not a fig for the light of the bud, because youcan find a candle. To enjoy life you should be a little mis­ erable occasionally. Trouble, like cayenne,is not very agreeable iu itself, but it gives greater zest to other things. To write a good hand, wear a good coat,and keep a giod character, are the three requisites tor a young man who has hi*own way to iunke in the world. It is impossible to make people under­ stand their ignorance; fur it requires knowled io perceive it; and, therefore, hethat can perceive it Lath it not The deepest wretchedness often results from a perpetual continuance of |>etivtrinls. A chance look from those we love often produces exquisite or unalloyedpleasure. A misfortune, like a storm in travelling, gives zest for the snnaliine, freshness tothe prospect, and often introduces an agree­ able companion for the remainder of ourjourney. 'lark Twalns Fast horse, FROM A LETTEK BY ELI PERKISS. After we had talked a spell Mr. Twninlaid down his cigar nnd told us about a feet horse bo once ouned in Virginia City.

Holler who-a and he’d be in the next town before the soundof your vnico con bl ever reach tho dash­ board. ’Travel fast?’ 1 should say le could. Why I once started from VirginiaCity for Meadow Creek right in front of cue of the most dreadful rain storms we ever bad bn the Pacific coast.
