When ""Ton hvrder, drier food, and allowed to S'kesome exercise, both of which are essen- ti*l to firm, sweet, wholesome flash, the fact becomes painfully apparent that its ^wth in the pen has been fictitious to a ^siderable extent. It is equally true of the runty lamb or If It 13 put under the care of the wife or children and given extra treatment to "bring it out." When the time comes to fit for market, it is found that this brmging nt by the only methods that would have proven successful, is on the plan of blowing UP a silk bag with gas. It may have_ paid to give the runt all the food and care it has received but would it not have paid better to have given this food aid care to an animal not a runt? If an inferior animal gives a fair return for what it gets, a good animal would make a larger return. And considering the small margin there is in feeding animals, we doubt if a runt ever paya for what it has cost. It is of yet more Soubtful propriety to breed such an animal. ]tg inferiority is aji aqcident, but 3ome so- calle'l accidents are the tesult of natural laws. A runt may not give birth to runts, but the chances are good that it will,. Be- sides, if fed, as runts usually are, on slops in a small pen, the physical condition unfits it for breeding. A pampered animal, given no exercise, is in no condition to bear profitable offspring. If the animals must be fed to maturity give them to the shambles, not to the breeding pen. Nor are runts less likely to die of disease than are other animals. It is sometimes re- marked that " the runty pig never has the cholera " " the best animal dies first." This, however, is not the case. When the runt escapes the fact is remembered always, borne in mind, because it is something re- markable and vexatious. When the runt dies, little notice is taken, for the loss is Uttle. Jhis same tendency of our human nature best to remember great misfortunes leads to the remark that disease takes the best first. The runt is more likely to be at- tacked by disease, and more apt to die, than is the other animal. We believe that the best thing to do is to kill the runt at once. If a pig or a lamb, its value can be but little. The loss will hardly e(iual the cost required to bring the aniiiuil to a self-supporting basis. In the case of a calf, a longer period of probation may be given and ordinarily the chances arein favor of bringing a colt through. Yet we aie of the opinion that such is the incli- mtiou to keep rather than to sacrifice the raut. that the best advice is to kill without delay, provided it is not of a choice breed itud worth the coat of the extra care neces- sary to brim; wp to a somewhat nonnal con- ditio!;, but this is not often profitable. Triasylvania Marriage Customs- When the yo-ang couple go to church the day aittr the wedding, they are met at the church-door by a group of masked figures who surroimd them, singing and hooting, and playfully endeavor to separate the young matron from her husband. If they succeed in so doing, then he must win her back in a baud to-hand fight with his adver- saric-i, or el.so he must give a piece of money as her ransom. In general it is considered a bad omeu for the married life of the young couple if the wife be separated from â-  her huabind on this occasion; therefere it is cus- tomary for the young husband to take his stand close by the church-door while his wile is praying within, and then he is ready to catch hold of her as soon as she steps out- side. For greater precaution, the man often holds her around tlie waist with both hands during the dance which immediately takes place before the church, and at which they assist merely as fcpectaliors, taking no active part, as it is not considered seemly to dance in the church attire. •^s commonly several couples are married at the same time, it is usual for each separ- ate wedding-party to bring its own band of mtisic, and dance thus independently of the otaers. On the occasion of a triple wedding I lately witnessed, it was very amusing to watch the three wedding-parties coming down the street, each accelerating its pace â- ^11 it came to be a sort of race up to the wiurch-door to secure the oest dancing- place. ine ground being rough and slanting, there ^aa only one spot where anything like a flat oancmg-floor could be obtained, and the wmning party at once secured this enviable position, while the others had to put up with an inclined plane or a few hillocks accidentmg their ball-room floor.

There was a suspicioii weakness in his knees, a sort of looseness to tas whole body, and it was only with a great effort that he managed to bow to Elder Toots and m ask Whalebone Howker, as he went up the aisle, if his pa and ma were as well as could be expected under the cir- cumstances. When he reached the pkt- ^m he bowed so low to the audience that Waydown Bebee had to help straighten turn np. Then he began his address • "Fits. Er Fits. 'S'more fits. Whaz- ^tr£'*.- ^^ subjick is er fits. Whozzer g t fits Eh Like 'er see 'er nigger who km 'rest me 1" It was plain that the very, very Honor- able Guy \Yallingbroke was drunk, and Brother Gardner signalled to the committee to remove him. When the door of the ante-room had closed behind him the Presi- dent said "I doan' know what his cure fur fits ar' but I ze gwine to try one of my own. Brud- der Jones, take him down de alley sta'rs an' apply the shoe-leather cure " In the course of two or three minutes it became apparent that the remedy was being applied. The windows rattled, the relics in the museum threatened to fall off the shelves, and yells of terror floated up from the alley. When Brother Jones returned and took his seat the President said " De meetin' will now go on, de same as if it had not been interrupted by fits. If any of you should meet de very, very Honorable Miss'r Wallingbroke to-morrer or next day, advise him to quit de lectur' field an' I'am de cooper's trade." Too PBEviors. The Secretary announced a communication from Griffin, Ga., signed by sixteen colored residents of the place, offering the Lime-Kiln Club a lot in which to bury the Rev. Pen- stock at his death. The President was about to instruct the Secretary to return the thanks of the club and accept the kind offer when Penstock sprang to his feet and ex claimed "Miss'r President, I protest I look upon dat communication as a deliberate insult 1" " Shoo Brudder Penstock, what's de matter " "Dat communication are de matter, sah 1" " Doan you want to be buried in Grifiin?" " No, sah " " Doan' you want to accept de lot " " No, sah 1" " Very well, Brudder Penstock. De offer may hev bin a leetle too previous, but I ar' satisfied dat it was made wid de kindest intenshuns. We will answer dat you can't accept, on account of a previous engage- ment." SQUELCHED. A communication from Greenville, S. C, announced that Prof. Absolute Smith, of that city, would leave for Detroit within a couple of weeks to lay before the Lime Kiln Club his new theory on the movement of the earth from north to south. After convinc- ing the club of its truthfulness he would de- liver a series of lectures throughout the State, and any money which he might be obliged to borrow of members of the club would be returned as soon as possible. " It may be dat de airth ar' movin' from north to south," said Brother Gardner as he thoughtfully contemplated a new crack in the ceiling, but if so we doan' want to know it. De ole and well-known movement from east to west ar' good 'nuff fur us. De Seck- retary will write to de. Purfessor dat we hev no use fur him heah, an' dat if he shows up mus' run de risks of bein' sent to de Work House as a suspishus character. NOT ALARMED. Elder Unsatisfactory Johnson secured the flcor to make an inquiry. He had read in the papers that the Adventists had predicted the ending up of the world on the 28th of May. It was a matter which made him a little anxious. He didn't care to live here after the world had ended up. He had some debts to collect in, and he wanted to remove his family across into Canada before the calamity occurred. If the club had any official information to give him he wonld be greatly obliged. " Brudder Johnson, do yon remember how by-law No. 278 reads " asked the Pre- sident. "No. sah." " Wall, it reads dat any member of dis club who believes dat de world am gwine to eand up kin be fined all de way from forty cents up to 816,000." "Iâ€" I didn't know it!" " No, I suppose not. After de meetin' ad- journs I wanij to see you in de cloak room. I want to feel of your head an' try an' find out what has softened it. Meanwhile I kin assure you dat dar ami no cause fur alarm. JLst go right ahead haulin' ashes wid dat ole mule o' yours by day and hangin' round de uo'ner grocery o' nights, an' doan' let de 28th day of May worry yon a bit." The elder sat down with a sigh of rehef and acting upon the whispered advice of Samuel Shin he slid softly out while the Glee Clnb were singing and thereby escaped the contemplatsd "feeling."

Daring the centimes of Soman occupation some tS the IMS dense parts of the woodland were clewed. In driving thdrmagnificent straight highways through the country the Boiraui legionwries felled the trees for 70 yards on each side of them to secure them from the arrows of a larking foe. So stupendous w«b the labor mvolved in this task that they gladly avoided forests where that was poesi ble, and sometimes even swung their roads to right or left to keep clear of these formid- able obstacles. For many hundreds of years after the departare4f the legions vast tracts of primeval forest remained as imienetrable barriers between different tribes. In these natural fastnesses the wolf, brown bear. And wild boar still found a secure retreat. Even as late as the twelfth century the woods to the north of London swarmed with wild boars and wild oxen. Everywhere, too, the broken men of the community betook them- selves to these impenetrable retreats, where they lived by the chase, and whence they issued for plunder and bloodshed. The for- ests were thus from time immemorial a sin- filarly important element in the topography hey have now almost entirely disappeared, and their former sites have as yet only been partially determined, though much may doubtless still be done in making our know- ledge of them more complete. â-  Character. A perfectly -balanced character is seldom found. Each virtue seems to have its off- setting foible. Amiability is apt to be alli- ed with weakness a vigorous pushing char- acter is often impnlsivcj harsh, and unjust. • A reflective mind is slow to act a. prompt mind is often wrong. So through all the elementary characters. All the qualities that go to make up a perfect moral nature rarely appear in one person. The physical and intellectoal do not always evenly bal- ance. There are those possessed of stronger moral than mental nature. They constitute the spasmodic, impulsive element in society. There are others whose intellects so abso- lutely control their moral nature that no- thing is admitted that cannot be reasoned out satisfactorily. There are persons whose strong animal natures dominate all else both mind and spirit are subservient. To regulate all these parts so as to attain a fair degree of equality is the right step toward securing what may be called balance in character. o â€" He who commite a wrong will himself it- evitably see the "writing on the wal' ' though the world may not count him guilty. When we have learned to avoid wasting time on the one hand and " crowding" it on the other, we begin to appreciate its true value. The Ladies' Favorite. The newest fashion in ladies' hats will boubtless cause a flutter of pleasurable ex- citement among the fair sex. Ladies are al- ways susceptible to the chaugas of a fashion plate and the more startling the depaature, the more earnest the gassip over the new mode. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is a positive cure for the ills which afflict fe- males and make their lives miserable. This sovereign panacea can be relied on in cases of displacements and all functional derange- ments. It builds up the poor, haggard and dragged-out victim, and gives her renewed hope and a fresh lease of life. It is the only medicine for woman's peculiar weaknesses and ailments, sold by druggists, under a positive guarantee from the manufacturers, that it will give satisfaction in every case, or money refunded.
