|I 1 TheChrib(mas Rose.
AlillJwli' ft* oiie |>f tho Uoetian Alps,
jjfc?*biile of an old black pine, grew
a Christmas rose.
The smmner had passed, and the
days had come, when the wind blows and the
snow flies, and the Christmas rose had two
buds.
“ Dear mo,” fretted the rose, “ J wish I
could blooin when other plants do. There
would be sorric pleasure in displaying one’s
self in llonwy Job the djut|', bide gentian, or
the pretty bs'l-briglit; Will with no one t<f ad
mire me, 1 see no use in blossoming at all.”
“Ho ! ho !” laughed the old pine, waving
his dark, shaggy arms.
“Ho! ho! what a little grumbler! The
snow *atid 1 will admire you. You were
named after the blessed Christ-child, and
ought fo be happy and contented. Tush up
through the deepening snow, little friend, and
expand your buds into perfect blossoms ; we
were all of us made for a holy purpose, and
* s "fcen the time
.lust then the north wind blew so hard the
old pine was put quite out of breath, and for
some reason he never resumed the conversa
tion.
“ Aik the world is dead except the pine and
I,” imrrtnured the Christmas ose, “but per
haps I had loftier foMow ljrs advice. If I wa*
madfeVara idly purpose’the Christ-child will
not forget me.” So she took good care of
her round green buds, and the day before
Christmas the TiTack pine saw her blossom
white and perfect peering up through the
white snow.
Now, Hansel and Walburgn Klotz. the
wood-cutter’s children, were nearly heart
broken, for their mother was very sick, and
that morning Ursula Stallbaum. the kind
neighbor who had nursed her through the
night, hat j saiJ, “ God pity this house ! I fear
your motlier will die before night.”
Their lather sat by the fire-place speech
less with grief, and answered them neither
with word or look w hen they crept up to him
for comfort; so at last they stole out of the
door, and, hand in hand, w-endered a short
way up the mountain side, following in the
foresters’ tracks, till they came in sight of the
old black pine.
“if all tbpJfne|Uers in the world wore dy
ing, that cant,* black pine would not care,”
said Hansel, bil forty. “ Let us go back into
the valley, there we will at least find
human heart*, while here there is nothing to
care whether we die or live.”
“There is one cares for us even here !”
cried Walburca, spying the Christmas roses,
and in a moment she had scraped away the
snow and secured them. “We have forgot
ten the and that to-morrow is
His blessed nativity,” she continued. “Let
ns take roses to the church, dear Han
sel. and pray the All-merciful One, for whom
they were named, to spare our mother's life.”
The clfrldren hastened down the mountain
to the village ' church. where they found the
priest busy trimming the high altar for the
Christmas He took the flowers, ami
put them with some feathery, trailing moss
into a talk \\;Uit,e vase that stood before a
beantifnljypg^^ppthe infant Jesus.
“ Let us pray to Goa, iny children.” said
the good ~k-t ns pray to God to
spare you is#lift*. if it be consistent
with lliswilf, amt lei iis pot forget fo thatiK
Him for these silent witnesses that brought
the remembrance of His beloved Son to your
hearts.”
■ Tlren lurknelt down with the children, and
Ihef all prayed and gave thanks.
Wheil Hansel and WaFburga returned
Tiome. t|ieir father mfet them at the door, and
jfflyously, “ Thfc foyer has turned, fjind
§•ol^^| isfcetteT. praise God !” *
The Christmas rose had fulfilled itsdestin}’.
Ah, me, the black pine was right; we were
all made lor a holy purpose, and wc shall
learn what it is when tJie time comes.
Right Living.
It is a hard saying, but a true one, that
many professed Christians are not seemingly
happy t bruise lyes,. ntrtjiet c|r> they liolp fro
make hftppy abound them. Why is it
so ? Is it because they are trying to get
ready for the nyxi, world, ajtogethyr forget':
ting it is then 7 duty to snake themselves and
those around mem nappy in this ? It is very
important to know how to live wisely and
happilt in wmdd. The earthly life is to
be livellwte\ We do not know much about
the other world ; if the heavenly gates are
ajar, we can only.catch a faint glimpse, now
and then, of the beauty there is within. God
loves beauty iirthis world-; every liower that
blooms, every tree that waves, proves this ;
eo it becomes us to make our own lives and
bonuis as beautiful aud happy as within us
lies, trusting the future in the hands of God.
The religion that does not make ns and those
happier <in this life is*
‘rib liaising; and they who strive to do
this are serving God as truly upon their
bended knees, as in the services of the sanc
tuary. Then, if we are ever striving to make
others happy, it will increase our own happi
ness in this world and in the world to come.
How Jesus Draws Men.
Dr. Pay son, once in the process of a re
vival at. P< n tland, gave notice that he would
be glad to see any young person who did not
intend to seek religion. Anyone would be
surprised to hear that about thirty or forty
cainei. lie spent a very pleasant interview
with them, saying nothing about religion till,
.Mist were going t<* leave, lie closed a
few very plain remarks thus : “ Suppose you
should see coming down from heaven a very
fine thread, so fine as to be almost invisible,
and it should come and gently attach itself
to you. You knew, we suppose, that it came
from God. Should you dare to put out your
hand and thrust it away ? Now such a thread
has come to you from God this afternoon. —
You do not feel, you sav, any interest in re
ligion. lint you arc coining here this after
noon. God has fastened one little thread
upon you all. It is von' weak and frail, and
you can easily brush it away. But will you
do so ? No; welcome it, and it will enlarge
and strengthen itself until it becomes a
golden thread, to bind you forever to a God
of love.”

revised during the present session of the
Hungarian Parliament. In the laws as they
stand, the Jews have civil rights, but their
religion is not recognized. The “ recognized”

Hungarian citizen is obliged to declare him

THE FARM. j
To Make a Horse take on Flesh.
There are sundry condition powdersgp.nd
tonics w hich are often fed to horses
duce an increase of flesh ; but they must be
kept up or the horse will run down, and in
the end the}' all do injury. Regular feeding,
faithful grooming, change of diet, salt always
accessible, exercise, even if it be hard work,
with suflicicnt rest, pure water, pure air in
the stable, and comfort with quiet, will cause
almost any horse properly fed to lav on flesh,
if not to become fiat* A writer in an exchange
paper says truly:
Many good horses devour large quantities
of grain and hay, and still continue thin and
poor. The food eaten is not properly assim
ilated. If the usnal feed has been unground
grain and hav, nothing but a change will ef
fect a desirable alteration in the appearance
of the animal. In case oil meal cannot be
obtained readily, mingle a bushel of flax seed
with a bushel of barley, one of oats, and an
other bushel of Indian corn, and lef it be
gronnd into fine meal. This will be a fair
proportion for all his feed. 1 Or the meal’of
barley, oats and corn, in equal quantities,
may be first procured and one-fourth part of
the oil cake mingled with it. when the meal
is sprinkled on cut feed. Feed two or three
quarts of the mixture three times daily, min
gled with a peck of cut hay and straw. If
the horse will eat that amduut greedily, let
the quantity be gradually increased until he
will eat four or six quarts at every feeding
three times a day. So long as the animal
will eat this allowance, the quantity may be
increased a little every day. Hut avoid the
practice of allowing a horse to stand by a
rack well filled with hay. In order to fatten
a horse that has run down in the flesh, the
groom should be very particular to feed the
animal no more than he will eat up clean and
lick the manger for more.
Maxims for Farmers.
It is worth while for all farmers, every
where. to remember that thorough culture is
better than three mortgages on their farms.
That good fences always pay better than
lawsuits with neighbors.
That hay is a great deal cheaper made in
summer than purchased in winter.
That more stock perish from famine than
founder.
That a horse who lays his ears back and
looks lightning wl cn anyone approaches him,
is vicious. Don’t buy him.
That scrimping the feed of fattening hogs is
waste of grain.
That over-fed fowls won’t la} r eggs.
That educating children properly is money
lent at 100 per cent.
That one evening spent at home in study
is more profitable than ten lounging around
country taverns.
That it is the duty of every man to take a
good, reliable, entertaining paper, and pay
for it promptly, of course.
Prince Albert’s Windsor Pigs.
1 Vince Albert was a great lover of fine
stock, and took pains to improve the most
popular breeds of swine. Among others was
a small white breed, remarkable for fineness
of bone and offal, easy fattening, short dish
face, thin cars, long body, round and well
shaped, round hams, thin hide, fairly haired.
Queen Victoria has the Windsor J'arms and
stock carried forward as contemplated by her
former husband, often visiting them, and look
ing after the comfort of even' servant as well
as brute. Fat pigs, or hogs, as we should
call them, have not only a thick bed of clean
straw to lie on, but nice pillows to lay their
heeds on when they sleep. These pillows
are stuffed with hay. Fattened for Christ
ina s,, show porkers would be liable to die
(Yonr suffocation did they not have some sup
port for the head, to raise it up and facilitate
breathing. Pigs learn readily how to use
pillows.— Ay. Dep. Nash. Amer.
Salt for Hogs.
A country gentleman says, for fifty years I
have seen salt fed to hogs, and in the last
twenty years have fed many hogs, ranging
from three to six hundred pounds net. I fed
them all liberally with salt, and have never
lost one nor has one ever been sick an hour.
These hogs have been fattened in a close pen,
and their principal food was corn meal made
into dough. This dough I have salted at
least once a day. Sometimes 1113' hogs would
fail to clean the trough. In that case I would
put a handful of salt in my bucket, with some
writer pour it in their trough, and the} 7 will
soon lick it up with much relish. In addition
to, salt, feed coals from the stove. I make it
a tegular custom to feed coals, and it is as
tonishing what a quantity a hog will eat, and
how health} 7 and robust it will make him. Let
the hogs have plenty of salt and charcoal
and we shall hear less of hog cholera.
The Value of Small Farms.
Small farms make near neighbors ; they
make good roads; they make plenty of good
schools and churches; there is more monej 7
made in proportion to the labor; less labor
is wanted ; everj 7 where is kept neat; less wa
ges have to be paid for hglp; less time is
wasted ; more is raised to the acre ; besides
it is tilled better; there is no watching of
hired help ; the mind is not kept in a worry,
a stew, a fret, all the time. There is not so
much fear of a drought of water, of a frost,
of small prices. There's not so much money
to be paid out for agricultural implements.
Wives and children have more time t<V read
and to improve their mind. A small horse
is soon curried —and the work on a small
farm is always pushed forward in season.
Give us small farms lor comfort; aye, and
give us small farms for profit.
The Cause of Southern Poverty.
Mr, Daniel Bennett, of New Orleans, has
written an article for the Times newspaper
of that place, giving good and sufficient rea
sons why Louisiana is poor and the Crescent
City unthrifty. He shows that not one acre
in ten of the soil of the State is in cultivation,
and not one acre in ten of the richest lands.
Almost exclusively upon agriculture the peo
ple depend for prosperity, and yet not one in
seven follows the plow or works the hoe. lie
shows, too, that out of a population of seven
hundred and twenty-six thousand in
the enormous and startling proportions of
six hundred thousand are non-producers. Mr.
Bennett says what is wanted is ten men at
the plow-handle where there is now one and
less land to the hand and more cultivation.
Hen Manure.'
In the north of England hen manure is
highly valued. It is always kept apart from
other manures, and is looked upon as the
best manure for onion beds. To that use it
is almost invariably put, and the crops grown
by it are said to almost double tlrose grown
by any other agent. As it is a very strong
manure, however, it should be put in Hie soil
some time hefofe the seed is sown.
HUMOROUS.
A Story for Gen. Schenck.
It must be told, this story of our French
friend. Monsieur Lelilane, who was a pas
senger on the Strader a few days since from
New Orleans. Shortly after leaving the
Crescent City the French gentleman was in
troduced to the jolly Western pastime called
poker—a name he did not understand. Nev
ertheless he proved to be an apt scholar, and
was soon found “bluffing” and betting with
a courage quite astonishing to behold. Mon
sieur, however, was an easy goose to pluck,
and, as naturally would be inferred, he was
a heavy loser before reaching St. Louis.
We met and embraced him (Frenchman
fashion, you know,) shortly after the steamer
had landed at the wharf. We saw he was
greatly troubled in mind. At his request we
accompanied him to the Southern Hotel. On
onr way he spoke in a sad, mournful tone:
“ Ah, my friend, wat is zat game wot you
call like zis ?” (and he pushed his cane back
ward and forward.)
We at once comprehended.
“ Poker! That’s it, eh ?”
“ Oui, zat is him !” (and banging the cane
down on the sidewalk.) “ D n him ! Zat
game cost me one tousand dollaire!”
Again we comprehended. Our French
friend had, during his trip on the Strader,
bet too heavily on “nairy a pair,” and had
suffered. We patted him on the back and
told him not to be discouraged, that he wonld
have better luck next time.
“ No, saire !” he exclaimed, “ I no ask for
more luck. Ino play no more—wat you call
him—pokaire ? No, by d—n no more ! Ino
wish to hear ze name of pokaire in my two
ears!”
We reached the Southern, when the French
man, fatigued by his journey, and distressed
by his loss, sought his room. The weather
was damp and chilly. He rang a bell, when
a servant appeared for orders.
“ I want you to make ze fire burn—l want
him hot.”
“Aye, sir: T can do that with the poker.”
The Frenchman groaned, and frightened
the boy with a look of savage despair.
“ You d—d rascale,” he moaned, “if you
say pokaire to me I will cut your throat off
close to your head !”
The servant hastily left, and saw nothing
of the Frenchman until the next morning,
when he found him inquiring the way to the
dining hall. He was not in the best of hu
mor.
“ Zis is ze way to ze breakfast he asked.
“No, sir, that door leads to the ante-room.”
The Frenchman became excited and con
fused. lie muttered through his half-closed
teeth;
“ Isy gare, I shall quit zis house. I ask
for ze to make fire burn, and you say
he want pokaire. I tell j r ou d—n ze pokaire.
I ask for ze breakfast and you show me zc
anti-room. I tell you d—n ze anti. I lose
one thousand dollaire, and no more anti and
no more pokaire.”
Saying which he hurried down stairs where
we met him, thoroughly convinced that ev
erybody in St. Louis paid more attention to
poker than to any other business.
How the Widow Caught Him.
A gentleman of an autobiographical turn
delates how he was instructed in the custom
of taking toll, by a sprightly widow, during
a moonlight ride with a merry party. lie
says:
‘Tlve lovely widow I sat in the same sleigh,
under the same buffalo robe with me.’
‘Oh! oh ! don't, don’t!’ she exclaimed, as
we came to the first bridge, at the same time
catching me by the arm and turning her veil
ed face toward me, while her little ej'cs twink
led through the moon-light.
•Don’t what?’ I asked. ‘l’m not doing
anything.’
‘ Well, but I thought you were going to
take toll,’ replied the widow.
* Toll!’ I rejoined. 4 What’s that ?’
‘"Well, I declare!’ cried the widow, her
clear voice ringing out above the music of
the bells, ‘you pretend you don’t know what
toll is!’ .
‘lndeed I don’t then,’ I said laughing; ex
plain If you please.’
‘You never heard then,’ said the widow,
most provokingly—‘you never heard that
when we are on a sleigh-ride the gentleman
always—that is, sometimes—when they cross
a bridge claim a kiss, and call it toll. But I
never pay it.’
I said that I never heard of it before ; but
when we came to the next bridge I claimed
the toll, and the widow’s struggle to hold the
veil over her face were not enough to tear it.
At last the veil was removed, her round, rosy
face was turned directly toward mine, and in
the clear light of a frosty moon the toll was
taken, for the first time in my experience.
Soon we came to a long bridge, with several
arches; the widow said it was of no use to
resist a man who would have his own way, so
she paid the toll without a murmur.
‘But you won’t take toll for every arch,
will you!’ she said, so archly that I could
not fail to exact all my dues ; and that was
the beginning of my courtship.’ —Providence
Journal.
How Henry Clay Was Sold.
Some time before the introduction of rail
roads, Governor Metcalfe represented in Con
gress a district of which Nicholas county was
a part. Mr. Clay was Secretary of State un
der President Quincy Adams. The two dis
tinguished politicians agreed to travel to
Washington in Gov. Metcalfe’s carriage.
While passing through the State of Penn
sylvania, Mr. Clay told Gov. Metcalfe that
he had received intimations that in a certain
town they were approaching he would be
honored with an ovation by the citizens. Just
before coming to the town, Gov. Metcalfe,
who had all along been driving, suggested to
Mr. Clay that he take the lines and drive, as
lie himself was tired. Mr. Clay readily con
sented, whereupon the Governor took the
back seat in the carriage. Mr. Clay drove
the team successfully into the town, and they
were met by a large concourse of people. Gov.
Metcalfe alighted from the carriage, and be
ing asked whether he was Mr. Clay, answer
er! yes, that he was glad to meet them, &c.,
and at this the crowd fairly hoisted him upon
their shoulders aud triumphantly started with
him to the place of reception. Looking back
at Mr. Clay, who still sat in the carriage
somewhat nonplussed, the Governor cried:
“Driver, take those horses to the stable and
feed them.” The merriment of the crowd,
when the joke was discovered, can better be
imagined than described—Mr. Clay, himself,
as heartily entering into it as the rest. — Car-

A Man’s Chinese Neighbors.
The Raleigh (N. C.) News reports that Rev.
Dr. Pritchard, of that city, referred in his
Thanksgiving sermon to a conversation held
some years ago between Dr. Thos. E. Skin
ner, formerly of Raleigh, now of Georgia, and
an anti-missionaryist. Dr. Skinner, he said,
was soliciting aid for foreign missions, and
applied to this gentleman, who promptly re
pulsed him with the reply, “I don’t believe
in foreign missions. I won’t give anything
except to home missions. I want what I give
to benefit my neighbors.”
“Well,” replied Dr. Skinner, “whom do
you regard as your neighbors ?”
“Why, those around me,” replied the
brother.
“Doyou mean those whose lands joins
yours ?” inquired Dr. Skinner.
“Yes.”
“ Well,” said Dr. Skinner, “ how much land
do you own ?”
“ About 500 acres.”
“ How far down do you own ?” inquired
Dr. Skinner.
“ Why, I never thought of it before, but I
suppose I own half way through.”
“ Exactly,” said Dr. Skinner. “ I suppose
you do, and I want this money for the Chinese
—the men whose land joins yours on the bot
tom.”
The hardened brother had never thought
of that, and gave a good sum for foreign mis
sions.
Warts are very troblesome and disfiguring
excrescences. The following is said by a
French writer to produce a perfect cure, even
of the largest, without leaving any scar;
Take a small piece of raw beef, steep it all
night in vinegar, cut as much from it as will
cover the wart and tie it on it; if the
excrescence is on the forehead, fasten it on
with strips of sticking-plaster. It may be
removed in the day and put on every night.
In one fortnight the wart will peel off. The
same prescription is said to cure corns also.
Tiie famous London preacher, Spurgeon,
has announced his dissatisfaction with the
work that was done there by Moody and
Sankey. In addressing the London Baptist
Association, he went so far as to say that he
“wished he could find the converts made
during the last revival,” that he could not
hear of their being “turned into disciples,
which was a pity and that it “would take
something a hundred times greater than the
revival to move London.”
