ALREADY POSS ESSES. I shall only have time to speak of one grand and all-absorbing right that every woman has and that is to make home happy. That realm no one has ever disputed with her. Men may come home at noon or at night, and they tarry a comparative- ly little while, but she all day long governs it, beautifies it, sanctifies it. It is within her power to make it the most attractive place on earth. It is the 0111‘] Cfllm haph- £_ ALS_ a. dollar struggleq go kegp “.5 the mnn -LA Lâ€"â€" ° Gains man Who has it. .

Their 'inissiun seems to be to humiliate the ‘two sexes at the thought of what 'any one of us might become. No ,one would want to live under the :laws that such women would enact. Ior to have cast upon society the ‘children that such women would raise. But I will show you that the {best rights that woman can own she ‘already has in her possession ; that rher position in this country at this itinie is not one of conuniseration, Ebut one o! congratulation ; that the 'grandeur and power of her realm have never yet. been apprutiated ; {that she sits to-day on a throne so Hiigh that all the thrones of earth ’piled on top of each other would not Enlake for her a footstool. Here is ,thr platform on which she stands. Away down below it are the ballot box and the congressional assem- blage and the LEGISLATIVE HALL. Woman always has voted and al-l days will vote. ()ur great-grand- fathers thought they were by their votes putting Washington into the presidential chair. No. His moth- er, by the principles she taught him anal by the habits she inculcatcd, made him president. It was a Chris- tian mother's hand dropping the bal- lot when Lord Bacon wrote, and' Newton philosophised, and Alfred' the Great governed, and Jonathan Edwards thundered of judgment to come. How many men there have! been in high political station who Would have even insufficient to stand the test to which their moral prin- ciple was put had it not been for a. “ife’s voice that encouraged theml to do right and a wife’s prayer that sounded louder than the clamor of partisanship !

I deny to woman the throne ali'ectional. No human phraseology will ever define the spheres while there is an intuition by which we know when a man is in his realm and when a woman is in her realm and when either or them is out of it. No bungling legislature ought to attempt to make a definition or ‘to say, "This is the line and that is the line.” You come out with your stereotyp- ed remark that man is superior to {Woman in intellect, and then I open ion my desk the swarthy, iron typed, ‘thunderbolted writings of Harriet Martineau and Elizabeth Browning and George Eliot.

But after 'awhile, when they clapped their hands and shouted, “Welcome! Wel- come.” the mystery was solved, and I saw that time had passed and that eternity had come, and that God had gathered us up into a higher home. and I said, “Are all here?” and the voices of innumerable generations an- swered. “All here.” And while tears of gladness were raining down our cheeks and the branches of Leb- anon cedars were clapping their hands and the owners of the great city were chiming their welcome. we began to laugh and sing and leap and shout, “Home! Home! llame!”‘ Patrick O’Mars, a private in the 9th Regulars, went to the colonel of his regiment and asked for a two weeks’ leave of absence. The colonel was a severe (lisciplinarian, who did not believe in extending too many privileges to his men, and did not hesitate to make use of a subterfuge in. evading the granting of one.

I have found no Way to prevent this except by limiting the feed for these sows for a month or so after furrow- ing. (if course I feed my pigs in ad- dition to what they get from the dams, but do this very carefully. I plan to change teed every few days. and right here allow me to say that 20 years ago 1' lea'u‘ned never to feed young pigs anything that I don't feed their dams. In my opinion swine should be fed and managed with two objects in view: health. because without this growth ior feed consumed, writes Mr. '1‘. V. Purcell. In other words the result desired is to make a profit on the feed consumed and the time ne- cessary for taking care of hogs. I believe that this result can be at- tained by proceeding in the most na- tural manner possible, or in other Words, secure as nearly as may be stand me; I do not mean to say that I think the wild hog could be pro- duced at a profit or even with satis- faction how, but he certainly pos- sessed health and great vigor. To secure this {or our domestic breeds is highly desirable, for without health and vigor we cannot expect our hogs to eat and digest with pro-j fit our modern high-priced feeds. ‘ HORSE TALK.

It is (surprising how soon (he lmr - worked horse will rocm‘ernto when the busy season is over if he is cared for as he should he. A better way is to keep them in the stable during the day. Have the stables dark to keep the flies from molesting them. and turn them out to pasture at night. They should be well groomed and have some grain three times a day. Are the mangers sour? A pail o! scalding water will cleanse them. and a little powdered charcoal will sweeten them and will also be good {or the horses' stomachs. Horses have indigestion as well as men. and unless care is taken with feed and surroundings they will get upset and out of condition. This will cause loss and puts the balance on the Wrong side. The horses that have worked hard all season and are run down in flesh and condition, are often turned out in August to fight the flies and try to build up in poor pasture fields.
