I had an aunt coming to vl-it mc for
the firht time since my marriage and i
don't know ilmt evil genius pronxpteil
the wickedness which I jppetrated to-
wards any wife and Yuy; ancient relative
My tear said I to my wife on the
day beVore rtiy aunt's arrival you know
Aunt Mary i& coming to-morrow; well I
forgot to 'mention a rather annoying cir-
cumstance with regard to her. She's
very deaf and although she can "hear my
voice to which she is accitoinet' in its?
ordinary tone? yet you will to obliged
Mrs. S. announced her detcimiuatiun
to make h'erself heaul if oible.
I then went to John T twho love
a joke about as well as any peron
know of told him be at the hiuc at Gi
P..M. on the following evening and fell
comparatively happy.
I went to the railroad depet with a oar
riage next night and when I was on my
way homo with my aunt I said
4Mv dear ntint. fhorrt onr ral.hpr a-
.l - .-. .i .a t i
noVilig infirmity that Anna (my wife) has
". T " . . t . . - oi
which I forgot to mention before. She
very deaf; And although she can hear
"my voice. to which the is accustomed in
jts ordinary to'cea yet you will be obliged
to speak extremely loud in order to be
heard. I'm very ?orry for it.'
Aui.t Man in her goodness of heart
protested that she rather liked speaking
loud ; aud to do so would afford her
great pleasure.
The caniage drQve up on tho steps
was my wife-r-in thy window wus John
T with a face as utterly solemn as
if he had buried all bis relatives that af-
ternoon. I handed out my aunt" she ascelided
iho steps.
4I am delighted to see y'U' shrieked
my wif" and the policeman on theoppo
site sidewalk started and my aunt nearly
1 fell down th stoop.
Kisnitmy dear' howled tny aunt;
and the hail lamp clatteied aud the win-
dows .-hook as with the fever aud ague.
I looked at the window John had di.i-
appealed. Human nature could stand it
nj longer. I poked my head into the
cai riage and went into strong convul-
sions. Whe I entered the parlor my wife was
helping Aunt Mary to .take of her hat
aud cape; aud there sat John with his
face of wqe.
Suddenly Mid you have a pleasant
journey!' went off my wife like a pistol
and John T uearly jumped to hi
"feet.

'Rather dusty' was the response in a
warhoop and eo the conversation con-
tinued. The neighbors for blocks around must
j have heard it when I was in the third
story of the building I heard every word
plainly.
In the course of. tho eyening ry aunt
took occasion to say to me
'How loud your wife speaks don't it
hurt her V
I told her all deaf persons talked loud-
ly aud that my wife being u-ed to it
was not affected by the exeition and

to devote to other pursuits the time
which God has allotted to his children ?
Xor is it au excuse to say that he cannot
support his family in their presout style
of living without this effort. I ask by
what right can his family demand to
live in a manner which requires him to
neglect his most tolemn and important
dutio ? Nor is it au excus.6 to say that
h? wishes to levac tbem a competence.
Is m undi-r obligation to leave them that

jibx-su SUoc must be Revelled
on tlie Ground iurJaec
An iron slice tacked on to a horsed
foot is one of the unavoidable evils of
domestication yet when properly applied
is not so great an evil as some persons
might suppose. One of the objctsin
apphiug- the sdioe is to preserve the ua-
tuial concavity of the sole of the foot. A
horse in his natural state and fndetd up
to the period of his Ocat introduction
within the precincts of the "ainilhey"
has generally a concave sole: andcwise-
ly is it to ordained ; were it otherwise
ttiu animal would be unable to obtain se-
cute foot-hold ; us it is the inferior edge
of the hoof that is the ground surface
projecting beyond the sole may be com-
pared to a cat's claw or tlie nails of a
man; they grasp as it we'e. bodies with
which ihtfy- come iu contact and thus se-
cure a point of resistance which ftidsin
a'dvancuig limb or body over a smooth
urface. Now in order to preserve the
natural iiit-chuuical functions of the horn
aud sole the ground surface of the shoe
muat coirexpond to the ground surface of
the foot that is to say the ground sur-
face of the shoe must be bevelled cup
fashion ; its outer eih being prominent
takes the place of the hoof; its inner
suifiee being concave corresponds to the
natural concavity of the foot.
It K a custom among some blacksmiths
to reverse the above procedure and place
the eoucae surf ice next the foot and o
ten the ground surface appears to be
mote convex than concave. Injustice
however to that much-abused individual
the shoer (who is not always at fault)
we remark that often he U not allowed
to Use his own judgment for as soma
people believe uanyboJy can doctor ft
hor.se;" so au equal number hare an ides
that they know all about shoeing him
and men will often stand over the smith
and uiiect him as to the form of the shoe
aud the mauuer of curing it to the
foot.
Notwithstanding men9 various opin-
ions on the general art of shoeing hot?tf
e think that all will aoouer or later
agree vith Us that a bevelled or cup-
shaped ground &uttace is the heu We
caie iiot what may be the form of the
footwhethei it be high or low heeled
contr.-ted at the hevls lengthened or
ehoitened at the toe or having a concave
or convex sole; it is all the same. The
ground surface must always be concave.
Iu every other jart of the shoe improve-
ments and alterations are suggested and
indeed requited in consoqueuce of th
tvei -varying form aud action of the
hole's ftot under the states of health
and di-ease ; but on the inferior surface
of the foot we are presented 'with a pat-
tern for the ground surface of a shoe
which- no man cam ever improve on and
if we were ever to follow that pattern
more closely there would be fewer acci-
dents in felling an 1 less lame hones.

The Farmer's Magazine says of a prims
milch cow :
The head should be small but rather
long aud narrow at the inuzzl; the eye
siuail but quick and lively ; tho horns
small clear bended and their roots at
considerable distance from each other;
neck long and sleuder ant tapering to-
wards the head with little loose frkin
hanging below shoulders thin hind quar-
ters large md capacious; back straight
bioail bihind and joints of the china
father loose arid open carcais deep; and
the pelvis capacious and well over the
hips with fleshy buttocks; tail long and
small ; legs small and short with firxa
joiuts; udder capaclou- broad and square
sti etching forward and neither fleshy low
hung nor loose; hair soft and woolly;
the head bones arms and all parts of
le?tSt value small and the general figure
compact aud well proportioned. 4-'
