Dwellers In Tents.
A while on earth we roam,
In tbeee frail house; which are uot our home,
Journeying toward a refuge that if" eure
Areitaeoore.
Only a little while
We dread the frown of life, and court ita suule;
A dwelling then we have, not made with hands,
In other lands.
Therefore, we need not mourn,
That sndden cloud across our ekios are borne
That winter chills us, and tho storm mokes
rents
In our frail tents.
Therefore, we need not fear,
Though moth and rust corrupt our trovmre
here ;
Though midnight thieves creep in with sileut
stealth
To seize our wealth.
For, in our Fathor'a house,
A mansion fair He has prepared for us;
And only till His voice shall call ns hcuce,
We dwell in tents.
FOR THE FARMER'S HOUSEHOLD.

A farmer puts forth a plan for greater
cleari linens in the raising of hogs, arid
thus preventing cholera. He says: I
have seen hogs kept in floored pens
which were never cleaned, until at
cleaning time their bellies were full of
small ulcers; and snob, meat is packed
end shipped as prime pork t Places
where filth always reigus supremo are
the fattening pens connected with dis
tilleries. 1 believe that such plttccs have
as much to do with spreading disease
among hogs as among cattle. So far as
I have ever known, when cholera makes
its appearance in any district, it has
aearly always been among the twill-fed
hogs of distilleries, or flocks treated ns
described above. I do not claim that
in great cleanliness we have an infalli
ble preventive of cholera; but I do claim
thut with cleanliness and proper variety
of food, the appearance of the malady
would be K'Bs frequent and its victims
fewer; that farmtrs, by a little care p.nd
attention, might save themselves much
low. Men shut up a pig in a filthy pen
t nd give him filthy garbage to cat, und
then abnso him because he is an cue-lean
aniuml; but let them give hiiu a
clean pluce to stay in, cleiui food and
clean water; in short, treat him well
as other stock, and see it he is nut as
clean as other animal?. Now, farmers,
try a little wholesome cleanliness with
your hogs, and see if they do not pay
belter.

Meadows that have been run down,
become sod-bonnd or covered with moss,
sorrel or other weeds, may be renovated
without plowing. The old sod ueod to
bo disturbed, but a thorough liarmwiup
vr a choppiugof tho surface with :i dick
harrow will otsturb it suHL'ieutly with
out plowing. Fresh seed is needed, and
a dressing of lime may, iu many cut-es,
be all that is required iu the way of a
fertilizer. If it can bo afforded, a mod
erate quantity of fine manure ufed as a
top-dressing, and harrowed in just be
fore sowing, will be of great benefit.
The work may be done at any time be
fore September, so that the grass and
plover, tho latter more particularly,
(hi'Uid be well set before severe frost

but it in better to have the ground good
eu'ingli for the latter, even if the former
is to be sown. Grass is a crop for which
the soil cannot be too rich, for if the
growth is excessive it cau be cut nt any
tinie and made iuto hay or fed green.

It is very important that pig bo fed
with a plenty of nutritious food while
they are young. If they are let 'to run'
for their living at this age they will be
stunted, and the profits of pork raising
small.
Burning straw stacks is one of the
swiftest methods of destroying a large
amount of valuable organic .matter
which, when used as bedding and an
absorbent of liquid manure, is of great
importance.

Experience proves, every season, the
wisdom of plowing as much as possible
for spring sowing. Eirly fall plowing
has the benefit of fallowing to some ex
tent, and the earlier it is begun the
more advantages are derived from it; it
is more beneficial on heavy land than
on light, bnt light land cannot fail to be
improved by it.
The period at which clover is cut fur
bay materially influences its quality;
thus, according to Wolff, the amount of
nutritive substances in red clover at be
ginning of flower is 11.33 per cent. ; red
clover in full flower, 13.01 per cent
Red clover hay, cut at beginning of
flower, contained 65.13 per cent, of nu
tritive matter, while the same cut iu
full flower contained 40.07 per cent.
The best timo to castrate the male pig
is at from four to six weeks of age; or,
at least, before weaning time. They
seldom suffer any perceptible check in
their growth when the operation is per
formed at this time, and they will be
much more easily managed than if per
mitted to ruu entire. The sexual desire
is developed very early iu tho male pig;
and, when a lut of young boars are per
mitted to run together, their fretting
not nnfrequently seriously retards
growth. Besides, the danger from cas
tration increases with the ago of the pig
after he is Bix weeks old.

The Solution of the Zulu Jtie(in,
Sir Garnet Wolseley, by his adroit
poli.'y in fouiuutiug ruptures between
the Zulus aud their allied chiefs, seems
to have consummated the downfall of
Cetewayo, bepun by the capture aud
buniiug of the military krntls atl'luudi
by L rd Chelmsford. That policy looks
to tho tub livis' ;i of t'jtowavo's kiug
dom amongst his brother O'aaui and
others, the complete dethremement of
Cetewayo and his capture if possible,
and tho organization of a strong military
fore? in the Transvwil, which will at
ouce overawe the Zulus and e ereo the
recaleit rant 1 1 x-ra. Cetewayo is already
reported as trying to escape to join Se
cccjeui, ouea a powerful Caffre enemy
of the British, who holds dispute! ter
ritory north aud west of tho Transvaal,
au l has often givf n tronb'e to the Cape
colonies. Chief Morosi, of the Itisntos,
another powerful tribe north of the
Transvaal, which has often made trou
ble, has submitted. General Wolseley
regards the capture of Cetewseo as all
important, as hew liajly to be tho cen
ter of conspiracy a long as free, but he
propose to have the disaffected Zulus
themselves or enmo of the near by tribes
take their king. A rowird tf five thou
sand cattle, the sole wealth of the Caf-

General Wolselev has tedd the chiefs
that his government doe not wiut any

A Mother'! Hallucination.
The Scranton Republican tells a
touching story of a poor old woman who
haunts tho depot about the time that
the trains arrive, and gazes at the faces
of the incoming passeDgors as if expect
ing some one. During the war her
only son, a young man upon whom she
fairly doted, was killed in ono of the
hottest engagements, nnd the news of
his death so preyed upon her mind as
to distnrb the poor woman's reason.
Ever since then she goes to the depot
once or twice a week to meet the in
coming trail), in the hope that ho will
corpe to her. At other times and on all
other subjects she seems entirely sane,
bnt she sometimes thinks that her son
will come back, and to satisfy the hope
that never dies, and in the depth of that
love which never fades, the poor mother
continues to go on her sad mission with
as much earnestness as though she were
performing a solemn religious duty.

Rights in the Road. j
If a farm is bound by, on or upon a
roail it usually extends to the middle of
the roadway. The farmer owns the
soil of half the road, and may uso the
grass, trees, stones, gravel sand or any
thing of value to him, either on the
land or beneath the snrfaoe. subject on
ly to the superior rights of the public to
travel over the road, and that of ; tho
highway sutveyor to uso snoh materials
for the repair of the road; and these ma
terials he uwy cart away auel uso elso
whore ou the road. No other ravi has
a right to feed his cattle there, or cut
the grass or trees, much less to deposit
his wood, old carts, wagons or other
things thoroon. (8 Mot. 070, 8 Allen,
473, 1 Pa. St., .TM. Tho owner of a
drove of cattle which stops to feed iu
front of your land, or of a drove of pips
wliicli root up tho soil, is responsible to
to you nt law, as muoh as if they elid the
same things within the fence. No chil
dren have a right to pick up the apples
under your trees, although the same
stand wholly outside your fence. No
private person has a right to e'tit or lop
off the limbs of your trees in order to
mere bis old barn or other buildings
along the highway (4 Ctish, 437), and
no traveler can hitch his horse to your
trees in the sidewalk with being liable,
if he gnaws the bark or otherwise injures
them (54 Me., i00). If your well stands
partly ou your land and partly outside
the fence, no neighbor can use it except
by your permission. Nay more, no man
has a right to stand in frout of your
land and insult you with abusive lan
guage without being liable to you for
trespassing on your land (2 Barb., 80).
He has a right to pass and repr.s in an
orderly and becoming manner; a right
to use tho road, but not to abuse it.
But notwithstanding tho farmer owns
the soil of the road, even he cannot use
it for nuy purpose whi;h interferes with
the use of it by the public for travel,
lie cannot put his pig pen, wagonB,
wood or other things ther J, if the high
way m rveyor orders them away as ob
structing public travel. If he leaves
such things outside his fence, and with in
tho limits of the highway as actually
laid out, though some distance from the
traveled path, aud a traveler ruus into
them in the night and is injured, the
owner is not only liable to him for pri
vate damages (15 dun., 223), but may
also be indicted and fined for obstruct
ing a public way. Aud if he Las a fence
or wall along the highway he must place
it all on his own laud, and not half on
the road, as in cise of division fences
between neighbors ( t Gray, 22"). But
as he owns the soil, if the road is dis
continued, or locate! edsewhere, the
lan.l reverts to him, aud ho may inclose
it to the centre and use it as a part of
his farm. Judy Riuiult.
Nrsrio Itelier In Witche i aft.
A physician of Lexiugtou, Fla , was
recently called to see a siek negro wo
man, but upon arriving at tho cabin
found the patient dead. Tnere was au
exciteel crowd of negroes present, who
insisted that the dend womau had been
bewitched by an iuoffousive old colored
womau in the settlement, who hsd in
jected live lizirds into the dead womau's
legs, and in proof of this they showed
the doctor boine scars near the ankles of
the corpse where the crcatnres had en-te-red.
They refused to be convinced,
and were veiy miuh embittered against
the alleged witch, aud but for fear of the
law the eld woman would doubtless
hare been burned at the stake by these
ntperstitions heathens. Th" negroes
wai ted the coroner snrnmonesd, nnd con
tended that were the legs of the woman
split epen the lizards would be found.
The lizard and soorpiou are held iu awe
by many negroes, who consider them
but slaves to the sor.:erer.
A Virginia gentleman writes that su

of a sick negro in his employ, whose
mother is firmly convinced that he is
dying in eonsequenco of somebody's
witchery. As to tho practice of wearing
charms, he give the following illnstra -tiou:
My brother-in-law found a negro
thief in his house at midnight, and
I')cked him np in a corn crib. On
searching hira next luormngiie found in
a bag at his neck what prove! to be a
human heart, dried oud shriveled. The
negro confessed that it was the heart of
his young master, who had recently de
ceased, one! that he wore it to render
himself invisible. An investigation
proved that he had mntiUted the re
mains to get the heart, und I have no
doubt that many similar charms are
worn by this superstitions people.
For Horsemen.
There is no such thing as a full-blood
Morgan horse; noither is there any such
thing as a full-blood Hambletonian, fnll
blood Messenger, etc. These are mere
ly family names, and not the names of
breeds of horses. The Morgan horses
take their name from a stallion foaled
about 179.1, and owned by Justin Mor
gau. His pedigree has always been in
volved in some obsourity, and has been
the subject of muoh controversy. The
descendants of this horse have all been
callod Morgan horses; but as a matter
of course they all possess more or less
of blood other than that derived from
this horse. Had in-breeding been prac
ticed with the descendants of this horse
s it has been with some families of
short-horn cattle, we should have had
hones possessing but little of blood
other than was derived from this horse
but it would have been impossible to
produce an animal without any admix
ture of other blood. Hence it may
safely be said that the man who claims
to have a full-blood Morgan horse is
either very ignorant, or else he indnlges
in such talk with intent to deceive.

J olin Raudolph Vanquished.
Kav. Leroy M. Leo, the well-known
Virginia divine, in an account of the
characteristics of the great statesman of
Koauoko, gives tbis account of the man
ner in which the noted Virginian was
defeated at his own game by a neighbor:
Mr. Randolph w.ih not always victor
in the petty disccrd3 of the neighbor
hood. He was vanquished ouoe, on a
field of his owu seleolion, by a quiet,
resolute neighbor; and he confessed him
self, not in 60 many words, but by his
actions, as beaten at his own game. Tho
locality must be described : The land of
Mr. H. lay broadly between Bushy
Park aud the courthouse, and the land
of Bushy Tark lays as broadly between
the residence of Mr. II. and the mill of
the neighborhood on Stauntou river.
There were two roads to the oonrthouso
for Mr. Randolph; oue, the longer and
worse, was the stage road from tho court
house to the river; the other, shorter and
bettor, through tho lands of Mr. H.
There were two roads to the mill for
Mr. H. ; the shorter and better one
through Bushy Turk , and tho stage road
to the rivor, and then along its low, flat
and muddy banks to tho mill. These
private roads had been open and free
from olden time.
One morning the mill boy returned to
the house and informed Mr. H. that the
old way to the mill was cut off. Mr.
llmdolph had erected a slrong post and
rail fence across the road, and there was
no opening in the fence on either side
for a long distaueo. F. very body went to
mill, and everybody soon found out the
fact of the fence iu the way. The one
conclusion of all was tho same. It was
one of Mr. Randolph's freaks. Beyond,
aud deeper in the woods than the pri
vate ron.l to tho mill, was the private
road to tho courthouse. When on the
next court day Mr. Randolph passed out
of the wixjds on hia own premises into
those of Mr. H. he was confronted with
a fence tn rails high, with stakes and
riders at every panel a formidable ob
stacle in hia way, aud extending right
and left as far as his eyes could reach.
He took iu the situation, and, as he was
alone, it is uot known that he made any
remarks, or whether they were sharp
pointed or not. M mthe passed away.
The sitnation was uot changed. Incon
venience, trouble, eiauperotion grew
and multiplied as the time lengtheneel.
Late one morning Mr. Rtndolph, just
arrived, riding across tho courtyard, met
Mr. H., and checking his horse, lean
ing over (he saddle, said, with a c ur
teons bow: 'Mr. H., if you'll let me go
to court I'll let yon go to mill.'
'Certainly, Mr. Randolph, with plea
Hire. But, Mr. Randolph, you began it.'
'Ws, sir; aud I'll end it.'
Iu a few days strong, wide gates, over
each road, swung freely to every ono
who had occasion to go through in
either direction.
Tho Flrl I'se ortlie Tomato.
(f tho introduction of tho tomato into
the Cnited States a correspondent gives
the following aewunt. Ciptaiu Thineas
F.ldridge was a resident of Philadelphia
in 171K'.. lnring the San Pmiugo wars
between the negroes ond the whites mai:y
of the latter fled to tho I uited States,
aud the more careful nul enterprising
brought fruit and seeds peculiar to that
island with them. A Frenchman named
Nieah, with his family, became a resi
dent of rbihi h-lphia iu 17l'S, and occu
pied a lot next t j C ipt. K'.dridge. Ni
calo and family brought a variety of
seeel with them, which they sowed aud
cultivated, among which was the tomato.
Capt. F.ldridge aud family became ac
quainted with the fruit and its uses by
their intimacy with tho Nicalo family.
They dressed and used it as a salad, and
were fond of it. Gther neighbors pro
cured the seed, bu cultivate! it merely
as au eruament, many beiug uuder the
impression that it was poisonous. The
tomato was use I as an article of food in
New Orleans in 1812. They were not,
however, sold in the markets, even in
Philadelphia, uutil 1829. The French
refugees from San lljmiugo introduced
many new and excellent plants and veg
etables and cultivated them iu the gar
dens of Maryland, Delaware and other
places near the shores of tho Chesa

Effectual Fly Remedy.
A restaurant keeper in tho Allegheny
Diamond, Pt., like many others, has
been infested with flies. Patent gum
paper, poison, eveiything known to fly
exterminating science has been tried,
bnt still they come. Sunday last was a
good day to experiment. The room,
with closed dcors and windows, was a
perfect buzz of flies. A train of very
fine gunpowder was laid in narrow strips
over the floor, and the spaces between
tho strips wero carefully painted with
molasses. In an incredibly short time
all tho flies in the room seemed to be on
the floor, ei joying the lmurions repast
so temptingly set before them. It .was
but tho work of an iustant, a flash, a
clou 1 of smoke, the work was done, and
the result, when carefully weighed, was
two pounds three ouuees of fly carcass.

one at hand without knowing it. J ust
take three old-fashion copper cents, or
five )f tho present two-cent pieces, or
ten of the present nickel cents, and we
have at once a good ounce weight. A
nickel cent pie?e may be considered a
good forty four grain weight. Some
mppoee an ounco of quinine, or of any
other medicine bonght from a medicine
