Ay, goodman, close the great barn door ; - The mellow harvest time ie o'er; The earth has given her treasures meet Of golden corn and bearded wheat. You and your neighbors well have wrought, And of the summer's bounty caught, Won from her smiles and from her tears • Mach goods, perhaps, for many years. , You come a kibute now to pay— The bells proclaim Thank -nixing Day. Well have yoa town, well luive you reaped; And of the riches you have heaped. You think, perhaps, that you will give A part, that others, too, may live. But if such argument you use, You.r niggard bounty I refuse. • No gifts you on •the altar lay In any sense are given away. Lo! rings from heaven a voice abroad; • "Who helps God's poor cloth lend the -Lord." What is your wealth ? He'd have you know •To heldit, you must let it go. Think you the hand that Heaven struck °old Will yet have power to clateh its gold? . Shrouds haveno pockets., do they say? Behold! I show you then the way; Wait not till death shall shut the door, But send your cargoes on before. Lo! he that givethof his hoard To help God's poor doth -lend the Lord. To -day, My brethrcia—do not wait; just yonder stands Dame Kelley's gate; And would you build a mansion fair In heaven, send you lumber there; Each stick that on her woodpile nes .May raise a dome beyond the skies; You stop the rents within her walls, Arid yonder rise your marble halls; • E.or every pane that stops the wind There shineth one with jasper Your wealtheis gone, your fermis cold,, • But in the city paved with gold Your hoard k hold with hands divine ;" It bears e name that marks it thine. Behold the bargain ye have made, With usury the debt is paid. No moth cloth eat, nothieves do steal, No suffering heart doth, envy feel; Ring out the words., who of this hoard Doth help God'e poor doth lend the Lord! Go, get yoar cargoes Under way; The belle ring out Tiumksgiving Day. • How Wealth is Accumulated. As a rule wealth is the result of in- dustry economy, attention to business, a:nd as a rule poverty is the result of idleness, extravagance, and inattention to business, though to these rules there are thousands of exceptions. The man who has wasted his time, who has thrown away his opportunities, is apt to envy the man who has not. For in- stance, here are six shoemakers work- in one shop. One of them attends to his business; you can hear the mu- sic of his hammer late and early; he is in love, it maybe, with some girl on the next street; he has made up his mind to be a man, to succeed, to make stune- body else happy, to have a home; and while he is Working, in his'imagination, be can see his own fireside, with the light falling upon the faces of wife and child. The other five gentlemen work as little as thecan, spend Sunday in dissipation, have the headache Monday, and as a result, never advance. The industrious one, the one in love, gain.s the confidence of his employer, and in a little while he cuts out work for these other fellows. The first thing you know he has a shop of his own, the next a store, because -the man of repu- tation., the man of character, the man. Of known dirtegrity, can buy all be wishes in the United ,States upon credit. The next thing you know he ie • married, and he has built him a house, and he is happy, and his dream has been realized. After a while, the same five shoemakers, having pursued the old course, stand on the corner sorne Sunday when he rides by. He has got a carriage, lus wife sits by his side, her face covered with smiles, and they have got two children, their faces beaming with joy, and. the blue ribbonsfluttering in the wind. And thereupon these five shoemakers adjourn to some neighbor- ing saloon, and pass a resolation that there is an irrepressible conflict be- tween capital and labor. The Preserration of Harness. Though the harness is an oxticle of every -day use, there are few who know how to care for it so as to ensure its durability, and keep it looking clean and neat. A harness that has been on a horse's back several hours in hot or rainy weathy becomes wet, and if not properly cleaved, the damage to the leather is irreparable. If, after being taken fromthe horse in this condition, it is hung up in a careless manner. traces and reins twisted into knots, the saddle and bridle • hung askew, the leather wheu dried retains the shape given it while wet, 'and when forced to Its original shape, damage is done to the stitching and the leather. Those who use harness are not • altogether in fault for this; they would take Care of it if they knew the extent of damage that would result from their careless- ness, and that they do not is the fault of the manufacturer. It is a mistaken policy that leads the manufacturer of any line of goods to neglect needed in- formation to the buyer: Every harness manufacturer would study i his own in- terests by accompanying each harness sold with printed rules for preserving the same. The first point to be ob- served is to keep the leather soft and pliable; this can be done only by keep- ing it well charged with oil and grease; water is a destroyer of these, but mud and the saline moisture from the ani- mal are even more destructive. Mud, in drying, absorbs the grease mid opens the pores of the leather°, making it a ready prey to water, while the salty character of the perspiration from the animal injures the leather, stitching and naountings. It therefore follows that to preserve a harness the straps should all be unbuckled and detached, then washed with a little -water and crown soapathen coated with a mix- ture of neatsfoot oil and tallow and be allowed to remain undisturbed until the water lia,s dried out; then thoroagh- ly rubbed with a woollen rag; the rub- bing is important, as it, in. addition to removing the surplus oil and grease, tends to close the pores ' aud gives a finish to the leather. Iu hangiug har- ness care should be taken to allow all straps to hang their full leng,th ; bridles, pads, gig -saddles and and collars should be hung upon forms of the shape of Light is essential in the care of THE HUhON TaPOSITOR. leather, and when the harness tloset is dark the door should be leA open at least half of the time duriag each day. All closets should be ventilated, and when possible they should be well lighted. To clean plated mountings use a chamois with. a little tripoli or rotten stone, but they should be scoured as little- as possible. Rubber -covered goods are cleaned in the same way. Leather -covered needs to be well brushedand rubbed with a woollen rag. If a harness is theroughly cleaned twice a year, and When unduly exposed treat- ed Its we have' recomm en ded,the leather will retain its softness and strength for many years.—Harness Journal. - • Squ.a.re Feet in an Acre. The'number pf square feet in an acre is 43,560. In order to have this area the piece of land must be of such a length and breadth that the two mul- tiplied together will produce the above number.. Thu, an acre of land might be 43,560 feet long by 1 foot broad; 21,- 780 feet long by 2 feet broad •' 14,520 feet long by three feet broad; and so on. If the acre of land is to be exactly square, each side must be as nearly as possible 208 feet 51 inches. The nearest you can come to an exactly square acre with an even number of feet in the side, is to make it 220 feet long by 198 broad. When. to Eat Fruit. The Spanish proverb has it: "Fruit is golden in the morning, silver at noon, but lead at night." Americans do not seem to have heard of this proverb, nor. to have afire of their own experience. Mostly they eat fruit at night, and hence have not the sovereign idea of it that they would have if they had eaten, it at more proper times. They eat it as dessert -at dinner. This may -be the most proper time to eat dried fruits, but it is not the right time to eat juicy ones. The Spanish people learnedtheir prov- erb from eating the very jiiicy fruits, like oranges. These should be eaten in the morning, a little before din- ner—not later than noon. ' Early in the day they will, if eaten, prove to be the best possible medicine for the bill- ous.—Fraie Recorder. • A Family Journal. In a certain farm house, 20 years ago, a great blank -book was kept and label- led "Horne Journal." Every night some one made an entry in it. Father set down the sale of the calves, or mother the cut of baby's eye-tooth:; or perhaps, Jenny wrote a full accouut of the sleighing party last night; or Bob the proceedings of the Phi Beta Club; or -Tom scrawled "Tried my new gun. Bully. Shot into the fence and hit John- son's old cat." - On toward. the middle of the, boOk there was entry of Jenny's marriage, and one of the younger girls had, added a description of the bridesmaids' dresses, and loug afterward there was written, "This day father died," in Bob's trem- bling hand. There was a blank of many Mouths after that. • But nettling could have served better to bind that family . of headstrong ,boys and girls together than the keeping of this book. They come back to the old homestead now, men and women with grizzled hair, to see their mother who is still living, and turn over its pages reverently with many a hearty laugh, or the tears coming into their eyes. It is their childhood come back again in visible shape.7-Scrilmer's Ma- gazine. The Secrets of . a Bushel Measure. - The . Pharmaceutical Journal gives some 'curious information respecting - the variable results .obtainable it the measurement of dry • goods. The Weights and Measures Act of England, passed last session, expressly prohibits heaped measures, and requires thtt the measure shall be filled as nearly level as the size and shape of the articles will permit. This led to some experiments as- to the results following different modes of " striking " a measure, that is, of bringing the level of th.e contents of the measure into the same horizontal' line as the brim. A sample of cern was taken, and the. true weight of a standard bushel of it was ascertained to be 57 lbs. 2 ozs. But when the or- dinary at strike is used, the corn left in the Measure weighs 57 lbs. 3 ozs., -While, if the ordinary round Strike or roller be .emidoyed, the quantity of corn is increased to 57 lbs. 9 ozs. If the meas- • ure be shaken when struck • with a- round ruler, the weight rises te 62 lbs. 15 ozs. The diameter of a vessel, in proportion to its depth, appears to make little difference in measuring grain, unless the diameter is less than one-third of the depth. The Board of Trade standard. dry measures—the bushel, half bushel and peck—have their diameters nearly double their depth, svhile those for liquids have their diameters nearly equal to their depths. But it is found that, particu- larly in -the sale of such articles as coke, potatoes, -&c.,' the proportions' adopted in the standards for dry go -ods are those most likely to give , just re- sults. • - Care of Brood Sows. 13rOod sows should always be cared for by one person only, as far as it may be practicable. The danger is from over -feeding, more than all things' else. .Whole grain for brood sows is one of the most . objectionable sorts of feed that a, sow can be supplied with, be- cause such food will lie heavily in the • stomach, produciug fever, infiansma- . • Won and a morbid desire for some Change of diet, which often induces a • sow to devour her young pigs. For several weeks prior to farrowing, a sow should be fed on cooked meal and milk, which should be continued for some time after this period. If pota- toes and roots are given, they should be cooked_ before they are fed. If a sow has not the advantage of a yard., make it convenient to turn her out an hour or two every day into grass. If a farmer always has a few lengths of portable fence about his premises, he will find it handy on many occasions. He Can fence in a few rods of grass for pigs, calves, cr lambs, as required.. Af- ter ten or twelve days the pigs can be let out with the sow. Frequent feed- ing is better for the sow than one or two large feeds per day. If she is weakly; or seems to have too many pigs- for her milk, make a mash of whey and bran, or skim milk, rn.J in her udder exhibits no will be safe to feed he day, all she will eat milk and slops.

In European countr es the dread art of the dentist is no «adays practiced with such skill and i • genuity, With the view of causing the 1 ast possible pain te suffering humanit , that it will not • be uninteresting—alb it the subject is a somewhat grim one to contrast with it the more clumsy • ethods in vogue among the Chinese; nd with this end we abridge the followi g notes from an instructive article in he China Review —a periodical publi hed every two months at Hong Kon.:, and frequently • affording much valuab e information re- specting the Celestial mpire. It is well known tha the Chinese at- tribute toothache to the gnawing of worms, and that their dentists profess to take these worms fr m decayed teeth. But how they perform d this trick, and so artfully concealed • in the hurry of daily business, was a s cret only recent- ly solved by a Europe n inquirer. After some difficulty and de "cote negotiation an intelligent -looking atiVe practition- er was induced to lianJ over the imple- ments of his trade; tog ther with a num- ber of the worms, an to give instruc- tions in the method of rocedure. When a patient wit toothache ap- plies for relief, if the to th is solidly fix- ed in the socket, the g m is separated from it with sharp struments and made to bleed. Durin this operation the cheek is held on o side by a bam- boo spatula, both end of which are alike, andon the end eld in the hand some minute worms ar concealed un- der thin paper pasted to the spatula. When all is ready, this is adroitly turn- ed and inserted in the mouth, and the paper becoming moiste ed is very easily torn with the sharp ins rument used for cutting the gums ; the onns mix with the -saliva, and the d ntist, of course, picks them out with a air of forceps. The patient having oc lar demonstra- tion that the cause of he disease has been removed, has gooc reason to ex- pect relief, which in • any cases would follow the bleeding of he gum. When the pain returns, the same operation is repeated, and a resh supply of worms fully accounts f r the recurring trouble. These worms are quantities to suit the are very cleverly don out the delusion fully, • obliged to keep on h worms to show their ing that most of those tooth are killed eithe which is ofteu applied cess of removing them The practice just desc added, is resorted to w firmly set in the jaw. The painless 'extract on of teeth is supposed to be accomplished by the ap- plication of a powder t the gum, which is said to loosen the t oth so that it may be removed after little time with the thumb and forefin :er. This pow- der, however, like the .thr, is useless, and only applied to dec ive the patient, Indeed, unless a tooth is loose, the Chia nese have no means o removing it; they do use a pair of f rceps, but these are useless except with a loose tooth, and when employed hey have to be concealed in a cloth, 'ecause patients are taught that no instr meuts are used. Another of the Chines dentist's stock - in -trade is' a flat piece o iron with hole at one end of it, which he uses to liok on to the end of the ca ine teeth when they are irregular, rem ving them by a sudden upward jerk. When a tooth is not ufficiently loos eued to dropout or be pushed out by the tongue, a little fol ed or twisted piece of paper is som times used, one end of which is Po adjus edit the mouth that when the patient c oses his teeth, which he ie directed o do, the loose tooth bites upon it. a d the operator then gives the paper a nick pull, and so removes the tooth. anufactured in trade, and they ; still, to carry he dentists are nd a few live atients, explain- aken from the by a powder, or by the pro- ith the forceps.' ibe3, it may be en the tooth is An operation on a c nine tooth -is thus described. The d utist first ap- plied. powder, and then took up a piece of cloth in which was oncealed a flat iron instrument, of the kind mentioned above; this he kept in is right hand, and in his left he held wrapped up in paper, a flattened lump of wax, which is called ." toothache pl ster," and is be- lieved to have in it som charm or pow- er to loosen teeth. Af er the powder had done its supposed work, the den- tist struck the patient seie.ral slisht blows with his left ho,u in quick suc- cession on the cheek j. st 'behind the region of the tooth to e rensoved by the plaster. This was one to divert the attention of the pa, lents While the operator with his other hand appeared to be rubbing the gum ith the piece of cloth, but was in realit adjusting the instrument on the too .
