AG1RL'*3 A (IUL PUB A' 'tIJA2',
Is there a lady in lho land
That honks Lor rank and a' that?
Willa srornbd eye we pass her by,
And little care for ndiet ;
For nature's eluu•m shall hoar the palet—
A girl's a girl for a' that.
Whitt though her neck with earni she dock
With folly's Leer and 5t' that,
And gaily ride in pomp and prido;
Wo can dispense with a' that,
All honest heart acts no such part—
A girl's a girl for a' Heat,
The nobly burn may proudly scorn
A lowly bran and a' that;
A protty face has fnr inure grace
Than haughty look and n' that
A beanie maid needle no such aicl—
A girl's a girl for a' that.
Awllettis tract that come 11 must,
And auto it must for a' that,
Whoa faith and lovo, all arts above,
Shall reign suprenm and a' that,
mend every youth comes, the truth—
A girl's a girl for a' that.
BACI{ TO IIIS MOTIJER.
Shp stood at the gate with en anxious face,
A mother with Bout distressed
And t1oy held her back with the eager crowd
'that close to the barriers passed.
"Yon onunot pass" said the warden grim,
"Your efforts aro all in vain ;
Bfy ordure are to lot no ono in
But lhoso who would take the train 1"
There wero husbrncls waiting thoir wives'
return,
There wero brothers and lovers too,
Impatiently wandering tap and down,
For the train that was long ovorduo.
There were fair young maidens in merry
mood,
Aatc1 none were 40 sore distressed
Ae Cho who stood at the barrluado
With her hands clasped tight o'er her
breast.
"I toll you, madam, yon cannot pass !"
Said tato warden beside tho gato ;
•'Nor eau yon hurry rho train along,
So you'd hotter sit down and wait 1"
A shade passed over the aged face
That worn not a gleam of joy,
And she said in a low and tumulons voice,
"I'm here, air, to meet my boy,
"To meet your boy? Then why should you
make,
Good woman this strange ado ?
Sit patiently there in the waiting -room,
And your boy will soon come to you !"
"Would God that he could 1" the mother
exclaimed,
With eyes from which hope had fled;
"He'd come to me surely, with eager feet,
But alas, sir, my boy is dead!"
"Dead 1" said the warden, and turned the
key
In the bolt with no moro delay,
For before the grief of a loving heart
The locks and rho law gave way ;
And the train like a monster all out of
breath
Crawled under the ample shed,
And the crowd passed out through the gates
and left
The mother alone with her dead !

breathe the Niro air of the ooun
free from tho pestilential odors of
city or colzin re n1 .center, In
'iodated Immo tho farmer is not Iloilo
to eider, 114 do 010 restdetltd of titl„s,
from neglect of annibtry preoautione
by his neighbors, If ha or hie family
aro seek through preventable 0011800
it is mainly his own fault ; yet farm -
ere are often sink, end the death rate
in the country oleos itot compare as
favorably with the city as it did yours
iti
ago. Tho residonte of ces, aware
of t:,eir daugore, have given increased
attention to eanttary science. Fann-
ers, un the other Laud, mistakenly
supposing theineelves safe, have kept
on in old methods, and are morn h-
abit' to dieonso thou they used to be.
There are many reasons why, as
the country grows older, greater care
must be taken to guard agoinet dis-
ease. The malaria of new settle-
ments was bad enough, breeding fev-
er and quo and like disorders ; but
it is harmless as compared with the
poisonous malaria from cesspools and
privy vaults, remaining often undis-
turbed for yeare, until it has thor-
oughly saturated =eh of the Boil a-
round farm dwellings. More ill -health
to fetmore' fannlise reeulte from this
cause than from any other. In cities
the clanger from them sources is more
genorally reeegnized, and their con-
tents are frequently removed, Farm-
ers are mora inexoasnblo for neglect-
ing this, because the e0utonts of euoh
reoeptaclee are valuable fertilizers for
their land ; in fact the farmer's privy
vault ehotlld (lever be more than a
tight box, the contents of which can
never eomo in contact with the soil,
except as dry clay 1s thrown upon
them as an absorbent and deodieer.
Slope from Ibo house, instead of
being thrown out on the ground at
the back door, should be poured on aboxful of earth kept under cover, and
which should be carried to some poor
spot on the farm and. plowed under.
The farmer Lae always enough soil
to which these applications from his
vaults or houao slops will be great
advantage. Around his House they
aro only source of disease and doath.
Tho barnyard, pig -pen, and other
similar farm conveniences should bo
far enough removed from the house
to prevent any connection of their
odors or drainage with the welts
which furnish the family with water.
One of ills most common sources
of disease in farmers' families is to be
found in tato cellars under the boom,
filled with half -decaying vegetables,
the odors from which rico and fill
very room. In soma cases these
ellars aro never entirely clowned
cru cue year's end to another.
If entirely dry, potatoes and apples
n limited supply may be stored in
911aus ; lent they should be wail look
1 after, and decaying specimens re-
oved as far as found. If tho cellar
not dry at all seasons not only
could no vegetables be kept in it,
it the honsu above should be con -
dared uninhabitable until it is made
y. The farmer himself may not
C01110 sick, but has wife and family
most certainly will, an account of
ing within doors so largo n, propor-
on of the time.

They toll me I have no wages,
For tho daily work 1 do,
For the goodly share
Of tail and caro
The changing seasons through.
I smile at their grave assertions,
With never a teat' or sigh,
Of the wages given,
The gift of Heaven,
Who Itnaweth better than I ? -
My husband's smile in the morning
And his parting look of love,
Is the amplest pay
For a long, long day,
Ae my ]sappy heart can prove.
And then his doer returning
Brings so much ponce and joy
To rho little fold
That I count this gold—
Aye ! the kind without a11oy.
Then the kiaeoe of our childrou,
And the prattlo in between,
With the merry play
That ends the day,
Makes such a Moate-liko scene.
That I often can sit and wonder
How people can be content,
With riches groat
And vast estate
Without my blessings sent.
My home and my little children,
So bright, and sweet, and gay ;
And my husband's love
My wages prove,
And . 'm proud as a queen to -day.

The Importance of Water.
The beat for bosses is soft, fresh
and ptn•o rain, riven' or pond water,
and it is obsoluely necessary, to pt•o•
serve health in the stable, that a con-
stant supplyslionld be 011 the prentie-
es, In order to effect this, whero
well or spring watur is talo only wafter
to be obtainod, it should bo lint in
troughs having a0mo clay and chalk
ut aha bottom, and softouod before
1100 by exposure to the sten and air.
Such is Om effect a change of water

Tho house wolf is very often a pro-
lific cause of cdisoase. During the
past few months welds have boort low
in many parts of rho country, and
tho result has been an alonsutt,l am-
ount of eickuoss in country places.
Drinking the water down almost to
the bottom of the well families Lave
taken in a Iargor proportion than us-
ual of its impurities. Most old wells
need thorough cleaning. It fact all
wells should bo oleoued as often as
once in three or four yeare. Now
whilo the water is low is the best time
to do this work. When done many
will be surprised at the nalount of
filth rotnoved from wells talo water of
which they Levo bona drinking for
years.
Itis quite p eaible we may have a
visitation of the Asiatic cholera 1110
coming season. It can scarcely bo
kept out of our saa•board cities and
tho sanitary condition of many 0110•
try ph ccs is more favorable for its
spread than that of well•reguhited
cities. There is no noel for a penia
on account of its stpproaoh. The
()Mehra comes where talo conditions
are utast favorable for its spread ;
and wililo in oldies the caroful may
to some extont suffer from the neg-
loot of others, 11 hi the advantage of
the farmer that his isolation enables
him, by promptly putting ins own
promisor in order, to gtiatrtl against
its worst attacks, It wore bettor
that this should be done from need-
less alarm than not (10110 at all. In
fact, if farmers will talto even ordin-
ary sanitary precautions the O'ilnillg
season it is probable that thoir health
and that of their fnmiliee will be gen
orally better than id usual.
