THE E a G Li E . Published Every Wjg Morning. FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. In Great Britain children of all ranks arc raised on an oatmeal diet alone, be cause it causes them to grow strong and healthful, and no better food can pos sibly lie found for them. It is also as desirable for the student as for the laborer, and for the delicate lady and her hard-working sister. Indeed, all classes would be greatly benefited by its use, and dyspepsia, with all its manifold annoyances, can bo kept at a distance. Oatmeal is more substantial food, it is said, than veal, pork or lamb, uud quite equal to beef and mutton, giving as much or more mental vigor, while its great desideratum consists in one’s not becoming weary of it, for it is as welcome for breakfast or tea as is wheat or Graham bread. It can be eaten with syrup and butter, like rice. It is especially good for young mothers, upon whose nervous forces too great a demand has been made, and they lose the equilibrium of the system and be come depressed and dispirited. Oat meal requires to be cooked slowly, and the water should be boiling hot when it is stirred in. Many years ago two of my children, one aged three, the other one year, had a terrible attack of ear-ache all one day and night. I worked over the little sufferers, doing all I could think of, and trying remedies suggested by our neighbors. On the second morn ing of the attack, a lady came in an 1 asked me if I had tried burnt sugar. I told her no, that I had not heard of that. She told me to put some live coals on a tiu plate, sprinkle some brown sugar on them, set a funnel over it, and then hold the child so that the smoke could go into the ear. I did so, using the same remedy for both little ones. The result was mar velous; the pain stopped instantly, and soon both little sufferers were in a sound, refreshing sleep.—Germantown Telegraph. The many large quantities of apples annually imported into this State from the Northern and Northwestern States and sold at extravagant prices, should be taken as a suggestion of the fact that the increase of home orchards to supply this demand would reward the enterprise. Why should we continue t.o neglect the culture of this fruit at home and pay annual tribute to the people of other States, who have, in this respect, shown greater wisdom and foresight? No one doubts the adaptability of our soil and climate to the growth of apples of choice descrip tion, and the only obstacle in* 1 the way of the needed reform is indifference and procrastination.—Georgia Grange The following is said to be a good remedy for deafness: Drop three or four drops of glycerine in the ear be fore retiriug at night; in-the syringe the ear with warm water, and continue this practice faithfully for some time. The deafness and singing often result from a collection of wax on the tympanum or drum of the ear, and the glycerine has the effect to loosen it, while the water removes it. I have known this experiment to be success fully tried on persons eighty years old, when the hearing would naturally be very imperfect. Experiments recently made in differ ent parts of the world, have demon strated that concussion of the air will drive insects from gardens, orchards and vineyards. This theory is of Am erican origin, and, we believe, was first conceived by an intelligent Southern gentleman. Firing guns near fruit trees, about grape vines, etc., produces the result mentioned. This is a cheap aud convenient method of deliverance from the innumerable insects that make war upon the interests of the human family. In the summer it is a good plan to let the fowls roost in the trees instead of in small and badly ventilated coops. They will be hardier and healthier for it, and far less liable to bo infected with lice. Chickens, especially, as soon as left by the hen, should be encour aged to roost in the trees. They may be allowed to remain out until ice begins to form in the cool weather. It is very rare that fowls thus raised are troubled with croup, or snuffles, or get their comb and wattles frozen. Gentleness and kindness in the treat ment of milch cows is of great import ance. If they are dealt with in this manner, their milk will be given down readily, aud the common annoyance of moving about and kicking during the milking process will be unknown. Harmony Grange. Hall county, has agreed to provide its needy members with sufficient funds, at 7 per cent., to run their farms during the year. A noble example worthy of a noble cause. All honor to the Brotherhood of Har mony.—Georgia Grange. Get the best, keep the best, and raise the best, should be the motto of sheep breeders. Never sell the best lambs of the flock—keep them to reproduce their like. It is just such lambs that you want to raise. The same rule applies with equal force to other farm stock. Keep the pigs clean, give then, dry beds, wholesome food and a plenty of fresh air and pure water, and they will be healthy. No hog cholera or other loathsome disease will desolate your pens. Egg spoons get tarnished by the sulphur in the egg uniting with the silver, and may be removed by rubbing with wet salt or ammonia. BED TIME. We should never go to bed with a hope for rest, sleep and perfect repose, until ‘all ready.’ The preliminaries for retirement are all just as important as are those for those days’ duties. We must not go to bed with an overloaded stomach, in an anxious or troubled state of mind, with cold extremities or without anticipating and responding to the calls of nature in all respects. Standing over a register, before a fire, or in a stove-heated room, is not the best way to get warm for a night’s sleep. We should take such vigorous exercise as will give circulation to the blood, and not depend on artificial but on natural beat. Attention to all these things, followed by such exercises as will bring all the feelings, emotions and sentiments into accord with the divine will, subduing passions, remov ing hatred, malice, jealousy', revenge, and opening the portals of Heaven to all who seek rest, peace and sweet repose. It is a happy custom with many to close the evening’s proceed ings by singing a sweet, quiet hymn, ‘The day is past and gone,’ etc., which brings all present in delightful union with each other, and with ‘Our Father who art in Heaven.’ is useless to lament over the past. Perhaps it was inevitable that Govern ment founded upon false and senti mental principles should perish. Paul Louis Courier, with that keen penetra tion which distinguishes the French student of human nature, said that if there were only three men in the world, No. 1 would be hailed as ‘My Lord;’No. 2 would dance attendance upon him, and No. 1 and No. 2 would combine together and compel No. 3 to labor for their support. There is deep truth in this remark—a truth which the experience of the world has vindi cated, which Europe has acted upon since the destruction of the Roman Republic, and which it is now the bit ter fate of this nation to discover. The fact is, the pretended ‘self-evident’ pro position, embodied in the Constitution, that ‘all men are created free and equal,’ is a self-evident lie. Voltaire was right. Mankind are divided into anvils and hammers, some destined to give blows, and others to receive them. Equality, fraternity and liberty exist only in the frenzied imagination of dreamers and enthusiasts. The rule of political action is the rule of force, and that is the pass to which we have come.—N. O. Democrat. The South appears to have come out better than any other section in conse quence of the tergiversations of the High Old Joint. The Albany Argus twits the fellows in this wise: “In its desperation to steal the Presidency, the Republican party gives its sanction to the very heresy upon which seces sion was founded. In its frenzy it re vives and gives irresistible potency to •the very heresy it declared a few months since had been stamped out forever, under the heels of an army of a million of men. Hayes and the tools lie used to transgress the laws of Flor ida and destroy the ballot-boxes of Louisiana, have been sufficiently pow erful to establish a ‘heresy’ which not ail the armies of the Confederacy could maintain! Hays will become the second President of the Confederate States of America, the lawless successor of Jef ferson Davis. All hail!” Well, Jeff Davis has not lived in vain, and the measure meted ©ut to us we have meas ured back again. Mathew Henry tells a story of a great statesman in Queen Elizabeth’s time, who retired from public life in his latter days and gave himself up to seri ous thought. His former gay com panions came to visit him, and told him he was becoming melancholy. “No,” he replied, “I am serious, for all are serious round about me. God is serious in observing us; Christ is seri ous interceding for us; the truths of God are serious; our spiritual enemies are serious in their endeavors to ruin us, and why then should not you and Ibe serious too ?” Don’t laugh at re ligion. A would-be swell, wishing for an ex cuse to speak to a beautiful woman or the street, with whom he was unac quainted, drew his nice white cambiic handkerchief from his pocket as be ap proached her, and inquired if she hadn’t dropped it. She glanced at the handkerchief, nodded assent, took it, thanked him, and marched on, leav ing the exquisite to be laughed at by his companions. - . Rutherford B. Hayes will be fifty-five years old October 4, 1877. Mm. A. Wheeler is in his fifty-sev enth year. Samuel J. Tilden is iu his sixty-fourth year. Thos. A. Hendricks will be fifty-eight September 18, 1877. Ulyses S. Grant will be fifty-five April 27, 1877. It takes a long time for God to make some of us see the bow. Some times it is on the other side of the cloud, aud we will not see it until we get beyond the grave. There is a bow on every cloud. Black clouds are handy to hang rainbows on.—Hyatt Smith. The glass works in Brooklyn are making glass that won’t break. Their lamp chimneys can be used for driving nails into boards, and can stand cold water when heated, without harm, while their plates, thrown into the air twenty-five feet and falling on a brick ! floor are unbroken.
