THAT MULE.

[NOT FROM BRET HARTE. |

—

The Mule stocd on the steamer’s deck, To land he would not tread ;

They pulled the halter round his neck,

And cracked him o’er the head.

Yet firm and steadfast there he steod, As though formed to rule ;

A critter of heroic blood Was that there cussed mule.

They cussed and swore—he would not go | Until he felt inclined, |

And though he showered blow on blow, He would not change his mind.

The deck-hand to the shore then cried : ‘¢This here mule ’$ bound to stay,”

And still upon the critter’s hide With lash they fired away.

His master from the shore replied, ‘‘The boat’s about to sail, _ As every other means you've tried,

Suppose you twist his tall.

‘It’s likely that will make him land.” The deck man, brave, but pale,

Approached him with outstretched hand ‘le twist that there mule’s tail.

There came a sudden kick behind ! The maun—oh! where was he?

Ask of the softly blowing wind, The fishes in the sea.

For a moment there was not a sound, As the mule winked lis eye,

As though to ask of those around : How—how is that for high ?

‘‘ Cut that there mule’s throat right away,” The captain did command ;

But the noblest critter killed that day Was the fearless, brave deck hand.

Farmer’s Keview.

Keep a Diary on Datty Recorp. —This isa useful aud interesting work, and the time spest will be well repaid in its value for tuture reference.

INSURANCE.—See that a sufficient in surance is placed on the farm buildings and contents. This is a duty every man owes to himself, his family, and to his creditors 1f he has any.

Take Cane or THE AsHEs.—Many fires occur through careless disposal of ashes. The ash-house should be at a gafe distance from any other buildings. Asafe way is to keep the ashes in an iron can or holder, until cool, and then throw them into the box or receptacle provided for them. Wood ashes are too valuable to waste, and coal ashes make an excellent absorbent in the earth-closet, and are very good for making hard footpaths,

The barns should be kept clean and tidy. The lot of useless rubbish so apt to ather in buildings should be disposed of at least oncea year. What- ever is useful should be stored and

cared for.

Small matters make up the sum of our comfort, and constant attention to them will not only save trouble, but will confirm a habit of looking after more important things.

The daily work should be done ac- cording to system. This will lighten labor and save time; things will be done in order, and be less forgotten.

The cows should be cleaned before morning milking, then fed—the feed having been prep»red as far as possible, the previous afternoon. This, with the care of the horses, and a light feed to the small stock, will occupy the time before breakfust.

After Breakfast the small stock should be further looked to, fed and watered. The same hours as nearly as

ssible should be observed each day . these matters. Animals are exact- ing as regards time, and are oy under irregularity. After the small stock are cured for, horses and cows should be watered, and the latter turn- ed into the yard.

In Stormy Weather the stock are better under cover than exposed to the wintry blasts. It is a mistuke to sup- pose that exposure makes them ee on the coatrary they are weakened by it,

Fopprr Rackxs.—The wasteful prac- tice of throwing hay and fodder upon the ground, to be fought over and trampled upon, is far too frequent. A cheap foddering rack, covered and pro- tected from the weather, should be pro- vided in every yard.

Protection for stock should be pro- vided even when the winters are rela- tively mild. Dry snow is not so chill- ing as a cold rain; damp winds, even some degrees above the freezing point, often provedisastrous. A shed open to the south, however rough, will answer as ashelter.

Work ror Tue Tranus.—Work should be found for the horses and cattle. They are all the better for exercise, and by looking around, useful work may always be found. If nothing bet-

ter offers, make a holiday, and take the Childron for a drive.

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been eaused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action. and require to be worn continually to effect a cure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the ‘nstant oue is applied the patient will feel its effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but it is only of very recent date that its advan- -—_ in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convinced of the wonderful enures effected by Dr. MELvIN’s CAPSICUM Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want acertain eure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’s CAPSICUM PoROUS PLASTER, You can hardly believe your own convictions of its wonderful effects, Although powerful ana quick in its action, you can rely on its safety fo1 the most delicate person to wear, as it is |

free from lead and other poisonous material commonly used in the manufacture ef ordin- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of its merita, and one plaster will r~li bundredg to your friends.

Ask your druggist for DR. MELVIN’s CAPSI-

} cum Porous PLASTER, and take no other; or,

on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, to eny address in the United States or Canadas,
