The Huron Expositor, 1873-01-24, Page 6Farmer Crumpe's Oroakings. This cold wed her shrivels a fel- low up so !" " Yes, Tim, it oes ; but does it shrivel you up more than it does your stock ? Wh don't you keep diem` in the .stable' sub!' a day thisl" said I to im Brown, this morning, about 1 o'clock. His cattle Iver=e atandi g about bis barn- yard, without the shelter of even a good board fi nc , and the wind whistled across t e half -down rail fence about the y rd, and the snow cut a man's face 1 ke knives, as he faced the wind. " Oh, cattle wo ''t be as healthy to stand in the stable all day ; they want to get out • nd stretch their legs ; it does them good." " So it does you Tim ; but aftei you have 'stretch d your legs' in the morning, I n tice you don't stand. out beside t1 e barn_ all clay, when you can snuggle down beside a good fire." - I mention this for the sake of say- ing that there are ` too many men who forget their brutes can suffer, and who do ..not seem to know that the little, almost costless, comfort - they give them is of bnly appre- ciated but paid for that is natural- ly economy to give this comfort. Of course I've cr eked about this before, but' I could 't help recurring to it again, remind d of it by the frost on the windo panes to -night, and the thankful c nsciousness that everything is snug in the Crumple barn: Somehow it makes me feel happier and more contented. Then I th..ugh.t I would TALK ABOUT T M BROWN. He is a representative farmer— that is to say a representative of a certain class. He is one of those farmers who require a ten -acre lot to turn ,a coming) farm wagon around on (if he ha a tear') hitched to it,) and yet will utter a whole season on - a, t No -acre field. He has about as much comprehension of the, possibilities of farm lig and a farm life as a hen.'' has of a problem in Euclid. He turns his cattle out into the cold at a certain time of day, because he was always used to doing so ; it's a habit ; and . what has once been adopted must always be practiced by him. There are no " short cuts" in his life. He will make hills to his pottoes. as big as a bushel basket, and do it all with a `hoe. He plants hi • cern, year Af- ter year, on the same piece of inter - vale. He waits till the foliage is killed by frost before he cuts up the stalls ; and as soon as the fodder is thus destroyed, hurra boys ! he goes -into it, and with gre t care sets it up in stooks and bin s it. He nev- er grafts an apple -t ee, but grows what he calls cider -apples," which he rarely gathers a til after the first snow, and, then icks them up with mittens oh his h nds and'hauls thew ofl; half or quit frozen, - to the cider -mill, four or fis e miles away. He never . has more s ood cut; Win- ter or Summer, than willlast the family one day. He goes into the wood, cuts down the most conveni- ent tree he can find regardles�ss of the fact that it may be too valiiable to cut, rolls one end of t on to a bob- sled, and hauls it to - the door, then he commences a the butt, and chops and splits it u, as the. family requires it—and sem times it is re- quired when neither e nor anyone else is by, when th : kitchen ,fire must to fed by "picing up chips." So it goes. And this is all prelimin- ary to . A ,PEEP INSIDE T E ROUSE. • Five boys—great bis ', burly, boist- erous fellows, full of the vitality which belongs to their. class—are: there three girls, kind-hearted, ac- tive, fun -loving, untutored, and with the affectation which only accom- panies conscious ignorance ! All these with a mild, spiritless, care- worn mother upon whom all make the most exacting demands. And there is not a paper taken among them ! The boys whittle; trap, hunt, skate, go to school when they please, play cards,a4d range about all over town at will. The girls help their mother some, read sickly novels, go to dances, spelling schools, .parties, sleigh -rides, &c., and are constantly wishing for and devoting themselves to some excitement that will relieve, them of the monotony of to home which i3 not one of comfort, culture, refinement and pleasure. Its tasks are onerous. There is little or no tore -light in it ; none of the delicate courtesies and attentions w h ich brothers should bestow upon sisters and sisters reciprocate ; .no music, reading, sympathy—really no home atmosphere ! -.Anel yet some people think it strange that FARMERS' CHILDREN DO NOT STAY AT HOME. This is. just what I am coming to. This is the kind of education too many young men and women re- ceive on our farms. This is the way they are taught to love farm life.. This is the material of which too many farmers (so called) are made. TMs is the sweet pastoral life of which poets sing. This is the road Ihany farmers -take to reach essf- THE HURON EXPQ 1TOR. _ THE ONLY the usurer, and in a direct line be- Sensational Preaching, youd him are mortgage foreclosures It will be remembered that about and "change _of -base." This is a month ago the "Brooklyn Taber - what. drives hatndreds of men to the nacle," 'a" vast amphitheatre of a cities and to the " West." church in the city of Brooklyn, was �•� burnt. The regular attendance at - What He, Snows About this place of worship - was from .. Threshing. 1 3,000 to 5,000 persons, and the The Kingston Whig gives an ac- church membership amounted to count of a young man in an Eastern about 1,500. This vast eongrega- city who had been visiting rural tion was gathered in less than three ,friends in that vicinity. After see- years solely by the talent of one ing a farmer thresh out a "flooring" man, the pastor of the congregation,: of oats the other morning, he asked Rev. T. DeWitt Talmage. To give an idea of the style of preaching ahich thus attracts the masses, we copy at random from a book of Mr. Talmage's . sermons before us, the following extract : - and received permission to swing the flail a few minutes, upon assuring the agriculturist that he -was " per- fectly familiar - 'with the art of threshing:": Expectorating upon his hands, the young man went at the oats, but at the first "pass knock. ,ed the horn off from a new milch cow that was leisurely chewing her cud in a, neighboring stall. The second swing caved in the head of the fanner, who thought he was safe enough as,long as he roosted on top of the fanning mill in the other end of the barn ; .but, without discover- ing the havoc he Was making, the city artistkept at his labors ; the third blow fell upon the oats, the fourth killed a hen in the manger near by, and the „fifth pass of the deadly weapon was the best of all, for it came around behind the young man, boomerang fashion, and taking him under the lower jaw, knocked him down, and thus put a stop to the work of slaughter. The mere fact that the city "thresher" returned to consciousness an hour 'before the farmer did allowed the former to get several miles out of,town before his efforts at threshing oats were dis- covered by his neighbors. A Model Farmers' Club. The Club is formed of 12 mem-, who 'meet once.' a month:, the meeting to take place at the 'resi- dence of each member once a year. The time of these meetings was de- cided after this manner : Twelve cards, each 'card bearing the name of ore of the months, are placed in a box and thoroughly shaken up ; then each man draws one card.- The name of the Month that card bears S the month in which the Club will meet at his residence. We have a President and a . Secretary who act n that capacity for oneyea;r. Upon ur assembling—which is at 10 'clock A. M., in the winter months, the President calls to order. The in of last meeting ate read by he Secretary; . then follows a dis- ussion of a question chosen at our_ At meeting. These questions re - ate to the farm, crops, stock, &c. 'temple : Question for next meet- ug—winter care of horses. The resident chooses a foreman: at the im;e of the selection of the question, who opens the discussions. - The embers are then called on one by ne, who make remarks in -a conver- ational 'manner.' Between, the ours of 12 and 1 o'clock the Club it down to a plain and substantial inner prepared by the frugal house- wife. Conversation on various top- s is carried on during the meal. he neighbor who is uninitiated ould. never, dream of a Club,:but would suppose lir, friendjhad eleven f his neighbdrs for visitors: After inner the Club listens to a report f the farm where they are assembl- d-the number of acres sown in the fferent grins, the tinantrer of culti-th ation, the : cost of the cro3, {e - umber of bushels received, number in grass, amount of hay per re, &c.; amount of stock on the • what kind, and how fanning ys, &c. .After the farm report, iscellaneous business is in order. nder this head a question is select - for the next meeting. If any ember has stock for sale he here forms the Club, who will,help himfind a buyer ; or if any one wishes buy any kind of stock, he also ekes it known to the Club ; all us assist each other. After this der, the farm, stock, buildings, ., are inspected, and suggestions de, advice given, &c. The Secre- tary makes a minute of all said and done, and in one year the farm •is again inspected, and the improve- ment made is marked by the.Club. In conducting a Club in this man- ner, the results gained are : 1st, more sociability;- 2d, it is a stimul- ant to keep the farm in order, as it is inspected ,once a year by eleven farmers wilt, will criticize pretty closely , also to try arid raise as big crops as any of the Club, and to keep as good stock . of all kinds.

COLORING BUTTER: ---A New York cornniission merchant makes a good point when he says that one kind of coloring butter is not at all a good thing : Mixing two or three kinds of butter iia the same tub or firkin does not pay. - Ke also advises against coloring with annatto, and advises a little carrot juice, if any coloring is to be used. • " So men now put off going into the ark. They say they will wait twenty years first. They will have a little ?ong• er time with their worldly associates- . They will wait until they get older. They will L say, ' You cannot expect a man of my attainments and of my posi- tion to surrender myself just now. - But before the storm comes, P will go in. Yes, I will. 1' I know what I. am about. Trust me !' After a while, one night about twelve o'clock, going home, he passes a scaffolding as a gust 'of wind strikes it, and a plank falls. 'Dead! and outside the ark ! Or; riding in Prosect Park, a reckless vehicle crashes into him, and his horse becomes unmanage- able, and he shouts, ' Whoa ! Whoa !'- and takes another twist in the reins, and plants his feet .against the dashboard, and pulls back. But no use, It is not so much down Flatbush Avenue that he flies as on the way to eternity. Out of the wreck of the crash his body is drawn, but his soul is not picked up. It fled behind a swifter courser into the great future. , Dead ! and outside the ark ! Or, some night he wakes up with a dis- tress that momentarily increases, until he shrieks out with pain. The doc- tors come in, and they give him twenty drops, but no relief ;' forty drops, fifty drops, sixty drops, but no relief. No time for prayer. No time to read one of the promises. No time to get a single sin pardoned. - The whole house is arous- ed in alarm. The children scream. Th'e wife faints. The'pulses fail. The heart stops. The _ soul flies, .0 my God ! Dead ! and_outside the ark! I have no 'doubt that derision kept many people out of the ark. The world laughed to see a man go in, and said, ' Here is a man starting for the ark. Why, there will be no deluge. If there is one, that Mis- erable ship will . not weather it. Alia ! going intothe ark ! Well, that is too good to keep. here, fellows, have you heard the news ? This man is going into the ark.' Under this artillery. of scorn the man's good resolution perished." The above is a fair specimen of the style of discourse by which this Presbyterian divine in a few months gathered together the largest con- gregation in America. This sort of eloquence may be very effective as it comes red-hot from the pulpit, but when bottled up in a book and soberly read by the fireside its ten- dency , will rather be to excite a l udicrogs than. devotional fraiiie of mind. 'The following are the'titles of some of the sermons in the vol- ume before us : " Fishing too near Shore," " God's Bottle," , The owl, vulture, bat,- chameleon and snail." "The white hair of • Jesus," " The poultice that cured the carbuncle," " Reckless drivers," "Late in the afternoon." We cannot help think- ing that the publication of such ser- mons as these debase the pulpit, and do but little if any good for the in- terests of healthy Christianity. J. P.
