I SUNDAY READING. |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.” t The religions laws of Hungary are to be 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” fffiths are the Roman Catholic, the Lutheran, , the Reformed, and the Unitarian. Every Hungarian citizen is obliged to declare him *ylf a meml>er of some religious community. Civil marriage does not exist. Suits for sep aration or divorce are tried by ecclesiastical tribunals. ’ - t , It js vain to trust in wrong; as nmch of evil, iso much of loss, is the formula of human history. —[Theodore Parker. 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- Untie Mercury, Cats, foxes, and weasels have always en joyed the reputation of being remarkably sly, and they no doubt deserve it; but nothing can surpass the slyness with which a woman, surprised by an unexpected caller, will slip a set of false teeth into her month.— Brooklyn Aryns. FACTS AND FANCIES. " Sweet meets—two fond lovers in a first embrace. A painful trance-action —getting out of bed in one’s sleep, and walking out ol a third story window. —Norristown Herald. There’s a woman in California 140 years old, who claims to be the oldest woman in the world. Queer claim for a woman to make. They have “ goose” parties at Des Moines. And the young men who attend them have their eyes, like other geese, near the tops of their heads. A Sacramento lawyer remarked to the Court: “Itis my candid opinion, Judge, you are an old fool.” The J udge allowed his mildly-beaming eye to fall upon the lawyer a brief moment, then in a voice husky with sup pressed emotion, said: “It’s my candid opinion that you are fined $100.” When is a lady’s dress like an unfortunate bull-fighter ? When it is gored. And when is it like a partisan ? When it is biased.— And when is it like a toper ? When it is full. And when is it like the sails of a ship ? When it is trimmed. We haven’t time to follow this lead any farther. —Lowell Courier. Patience used to be represented as a pass abty good looking girl on a big piece of sand stone. Now it is different. Patience being fixed up as a country editor sitting on an in verted type-box, wishing he had his dinner, and waiting for delinquents to pay up their subscriptions. A Down-Easter, while traveling through the West, happened on one of its representa tive tavern keepers, of whom he asked what could be furnished for dinner. “ Anything from a snipe to an elephant,” was the reply. “ I will take a piece of elephant,” said Down- Easter. “You will have to take a whole one,” was the rejoinder; “we never cut them.” A man made his wife glad by telling her he had sold his dog (which was a nuisance to his wife) for fifty dollars. She straightway began to congratulate both him and herself on this welcome accession to their little stock of money, when he put a terribly wet blanket on her satisfaction by telling her it was not ex actly a cash trade, but he had got two pups at twenty-five dollars apiece. A colored resident of Detroit was breasting the storm with anew umbrella over his head, lie was halted by a friend and brother, who asked : “Is dat your umbrella ?” “Yes, sah —cost me $2,” was the prompt reply. “Mr. Savage,” said the other, very solemnly, “when a man will buj’’ a $2 umbrella to keep the wet off’n a fifty-cent suit of close, what’s dc use to talk about, economy ?” “ Benjamin,” shouted Mrs. Toodles to her husband, who was going out of the gate, “bring me up five cents’ worth of snuff when you come.” “Snuff? Mrs. Toodles, snuff?” lie ejaculated, as he paused with his hand on the latch; “ No, no, Mrs. Toodles, the times are too hard to admit of such extravagance ; you must tickle your nose with a straw when 3’ou want to sneeze.— Fulton Times. A remarkable instance of calculation was recorded at Aylmer, Canada, where a barber named Johnson, for a bet of fifty cents, ran under the cars of a railway train that was passing at a rapid rate of speed. lie won the wager, though he lost the heel of one boot by a wheel that came unpleasantly close as he emerged. The man who lost the bet said he had expected to win and get a couple of dol ars for attending the inquest. “How much is your stick candy?” inquir ed a boy of a candy dealer. “ Six sticks for five cents.” “Six sticks for five cents, eh? Now, lem’me see. Six sticks for five cents, five for four cents, four for three cents, three for two cents, two for one cent, one for noth in’. I’ll take one.” And he walked out, leaving the candy man in a state of bewilder ment. It was the night on which John Todd made his great speech to the colored population on Munjoy ITill. Captain John Morrill from time to time awoke the echoes with his can non. A man rushed up to him and said, “ For God’s sake don’t fire any more.” “Why not ?’ J asked the astonished John. “There’s a dead person tying in the next house,” said he. “Well,” ?aid John, “if she’s dead the noise won’t hurt her, and the country must be saved.” “Yes,” groaned the man, “I know that, but she’s my mother-in-law, and I’ve heard that guns will awake the dead.” 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.” BARGAINS!
