Humorous department, i THE BARBER'S GHOST. A gentleman, travelingsorae years since in the upper part of Connecticut, called at s a tavern and requested entertainment for p the night. The landlord informed him r that it was out of his power to accommo- t date him, as his house was already full. r He persisted in stopping, as he, as well as his horse, was almost exhausted with trav- a eling. After much solicitation the land- i lord consented to his stopping, provided i he would sleep in a certain room that had g not been occupied for a long time, in con- < sequence of a belief that it was haunted ( by the ghost of a barber who was reported n to have been murdered in that room some | years before. i s "Very well," said the man; "I'm not j i afraid of ghosts." 11 After having refreshed himself, he in- in quired of the landlord how and in what i i manner the room in which he was to J e lodge was haunted. The landlord replied j s mac snorny auer cney reureu u> re.-a nu i unknown voice was heard in a trembling and protracted accent, saying, "Do you want to be shaved ?" "Well," replied the man, "if he comes he may shave me." He then requested to be shown to the apartment, in going to which he was conducted through a large room, where were seated a great number of persons at a gambling-table. Feeling a curiosity which almost every one possesses after having heard ghost stories, he carefully searched every corner of his room, but could discover nothing but the usual furniture of the apartment. He then laid down, but did not close his eyes to sleep immediately, and in a few minutes he imagined he heard a voice saying: "Do you w-a-n-t to be sh-a-v-ed?" He arose from his bed and searched every part of the room, but could discover nothing. He again went to bed, but no sooner had he begun to compose himself to sleep thau the question was repeated. He again rose, and went to the window, the sound appearing to proceed from that quarter, and stood awhile silent. After a few moments of anxious suspense he again heard the sound distinctly, and, convinced that it was from without, he opened the window, when the question was repeated full in his ear, which startled him not a little. Upon a minute examination, however, he observed that the limb of a large oak tree, which stood under his window, projected so near the house that every breath of wind, to a lively imagination, made a noise resembling the interrogation, "Do you w-a-n-t to be shaved ?" Having satisfied himself that his ghost [ was nothing more nor less than the limb of a tree coming in contact with the house, he again went to bed and attempted to get to sleep; but he was now interrupted c y peals of laughter, and an occasional ( volley of oaths and curses from the room where the gamblers were assembled. c Thinking that he could turn the late dis- t covery to his own advantage, he took a t sheet from the bed and wrapped it around him, and, taking the wash-basin in his \ hand, and throwing a towel over his arm, f r>?Annn/lorl trv (lio rnnrn nf tho frnmhlprs. i pi W^VUUU VV li?v *VV4*4 v* V..V J and, suddenly opening the door walked v in, exclaiming, in a tremulous voice: "Do you w-a-h-t to be s-h-a-ved ?" I Terrified at the sudden appearance of the ghost, the gamblers were thrown into v the greatest confusion in attempting to j escape it?somejumping through the win- i; dows, and others tumbling head over heels j down the stairs. Our ghost, taking ad- c vantage of a clear room, deliberately swept t a large amount of money from the table into the basin, and retired unseen to his own room. The next morning he found the house ^ in the utmost confusion. He was imrae- t diately asked if he rested well, to which c he replied in the affirmative. a "Well, no wonder," said the landlord, "for the ghost, instead of going to his own troom, made a mistake and came to ours, frightened us out of the room, and took j away every dollar of our money." [ The guest, without being the least sus- c Sected, quietly ate his own breakfast, and j eparted, many hundred dollars richer by t the adventure. c MOTHER'S STYLE VS. FATHER'S. He looked very pale, tired and dejected <3 as he threw himself on the lounge in the x dark corner of the room. t "Mom, I'm so sick," ho sighed with a g suppressed groan. r "My poor boy ? What ails you ?" "Sick." "What made you so sick ?" f "Pa said at dinner time I would be s;pk if I ate another dumpling, but I didn't believe him, I eat another one and I'm sick." "I'm so sorry ; I guess I'll have to give 0 you a dose of castor oil." u "I would rather be sick, ma, than to * takeoil." v ".Not it 1 put it in porter, men you ? won't taste the oil." a "I don't want the oil." "Won't you, dear, if I give you a cup of jelly to eat to take the taste of the oil out of your mouth?" t "Give me a big piece of cake to eat with c the jelly?" > "Yes, dear!" ? "And a big orange ?" ? "Yes, poor sick boy." r "A big bunch of bananas and some s candy?" 1 "Yes, dear." e Andy's father came in at this point and spoiled the boy's prospects of a feast of c good things. Going up to Andy and in- t quiring what the trouble was, Andy's voice became very weak and in an almost * inaudible whisper he gasped, "sick." In 8 fact his voice was so weak his sire was 1 obliged to stoop down to catch the word, v and at the same time caught the fragrance 8 of a "two-for-five" breath. ' "Sick, hey? Been smoking, hey? You t young Arab? (Cuffs him.) Smoking ci- v gars hey? (Boxes his ears.) I'll learn you e to smoke; come along here." f And he takes Andy in the back yard and c with a shingle persuaded him to never try ? again to obtain good things under false i Eretense, while his ma stood by wringing er hands in anguish at her dear boy's punishment, and mentally voting Andy's 1 father "a brute."?[Norristown Herald. f ? ? v A PECULIAR CASE OF BLACK FEVER. T A short time since a friend, who has re- j cently been spending some time in Geor- J1 gia, related to the Atlanta Constitution an \ anecdote which shows how thoroughly c scared the people of Georgia were during ? the prevalence of the yellow fever in Sa- j vannah. * It seems that Judge B., of the supreme court of that State, was in an upper coun- ^ ty at the time, but within twenty hours' f run, by rail, of this terrible disease. ,v Quite suddenly, late one afternoon, ne was ' seized with a headache, pains in the back, 1 limbs, etc. Having heard that these were v salutations Yellow Jack extended to his * victims on approaching him, the judge, in f great consternation, applied to a friend, 1 who was posted, for advice. A hot in us- 11 tard bath was urgently recommended, and a being prepared, the judge was soon laving { himself in the irritating fluid. Presently I1 he felt better, and finding what he heliev- ; ed was a cake of soap at the upper end of 1 the bath-tub, he began to apply quite free- v ly on his person. After some pleasant ex- a ercise in this way, he looked down for the f first time on his body and limbs, and dis- J covered that he was turning black. () horror! His friend was hurriedly sent for, a came, and declared that the symptoms were intensely expressive of yellow fever of the worst kind. fi "But," said the judge, "I feel no pain?I c feel well. i "So much the worse; the absence of pain t is a marked symptom." i: "Good heavens!" said the judge; "what i shall I do?" fc' "The only hope is mustard. Hub away!" a was the only advice his friend could give, e And he did rub with a will. He used i: the soap on every possible^ pore ; and after t some minutes he sent for a candle (for the t twilight was fading), to ascertain the ex- t act cuticular condition.

Professor Holmes says that, in t 1k? jf cramble for money and for success, the j jreat majority of the people pay too little i egard to that cheerfulness which should | >e an accompaniment of every family j * neal. It is very common for husbands md wives, either from toil, care or per- j i ilexity, to bring home their long-pent-up 11 nature, and manifest it in scolding, : 1 [rumbling or sullen silence at the dinner j >r tea-table. If there be a family of chil- i Iren, the effects upon their young minds i ire deplorable. Mealtime, which for many reasons hould be the most joyous part of the day, , soften really the most cheerless and unrnppy. Papa frets about his business, Vi?

Mamma is cross, and occupies her pare moments in relating the mishaps of , he day. The poor children can not do , itherwiso than partake of the ill-nature vhich hovers about them. Eating under . luch circumstances is neither pleasurable ior healthy. The food is swallowed with-! ' >ut sufficient mastication, and indigestion, j md dyspepsia are the consequences. 15 This is all wrong. Whatever perplexi- ] ies may arise during the day should be j hrown aside before mealtime. Pleasant! j aces, cheerfulness, and even hilarity, [ . ihould be attendants at every meal. Am- j >le time should be allowed for eating that j very one may have an opportunity for i J nriching the occasion with sprightly con-! 1 /ersation, laughable stories, and overflow-, ng mirth. That very proper deportment I vhich some people boast of, is a black pall ' ( o many a household. Above all, let the dear children be en- j :ou raged to talk at the table, and to be j1 nirthful. Let even the little three-year- j 1 >Id be encouraged to relate his exploits; or he has an experience every day which, o him, is as important as are battles to a , :reat general. Let parents show to their ! children that respect which they would j : lave them show toothers. Children are ! >rigirial, and their unrestrained talk, when f hey have grown up under favorable in- f luences, is frequently more entertaining 1 han the every-day platitudes of very >roper grown-up people. j One reason why so many persons are so * inutterably stupid in conversation, is that , vhen young, they were ruthlessly snuffed tut by their mistaken parents, whenever hey attempted to join in conversation.

I BAD Ll'CK. 1 What some people call bad luck is fre(uently nothing but the natural result of ] heir shiftlessness or bad management, i iVith a little energy and system in the 1 onduct of their affairs the misfortune at- 1 ributed to bad luck would not attend hem. Here is a case in point: "I'm always an' forever navin' oau j uck !" whined a listless-looking man to a fiend to whom he had come for help. . 'Only yesterday my hoss fell in an old ' veil on the place and broke his neck." "Why didn't you keep the well cov- 1 ired?" "How should I know the old fool critter t vould go tumlin' inter it?" asked the man ( n a tone of surprise. "The well had been incovered for a year, an' nothin' ever fell ^ n it before. Then my granary leaked the \ ither night during that big storm, and t here's all my wheat ruined." i "Well, why didn't you have the roof ixed before ?" "'Cause it never leaked before and I 4 lidn't know it was going to leak then. . Vnd here that very night one of my best ows strayed off, and I do'noas I'll see her ig'in." "Was vour pasture fence in good or- i ler ?" s "Yes, all but a little place that I calcu- i ated on fixin' the next day. The fence < lad been bad there for a month, and the ows never got out of it before," he said ] n weak defense of his carelessness. "And 1 hen,you know," hecontinued, "the worst j ?f all was that my barn burned down last i veek." "Yes, I heard you set fire on the hay by Iropping the ashes from your pipe in it 1 vhile smoking in the barn." "Well, that was the way of it; but I { hought they were dead ashes. I've 1 moked in barns for twenty years, an' I lever set fire to one before, an' it's noth- c ng but my bad luck that made me set fire i o the barn this time. Bad luck seems to s oiler me around all the time." s Cold Water and Ice.?There are j loubtless many people, says Hall's Journal f if Health, who do not know that it is t isually quite safe to allow the fever pa- ( ient suffering from great thirst all the rater he wants. In fact, cold water is held s a remedial agent, a potent means of re- ( lucing fever. The effect of a glass of ice J rater is often immediate and marked, the ever and restlessness of the patient being 5 loticeably lessened thereby. He who is I ortured by thirst always wants a glass full if water held to his lips. Therefore if he t s to be denied all he wants, use a small c ;lass, but at least have it full. Bits of ice t .re always harmless, and are often very } efreshing. Pieces the size of peas when t wallowed will not infrequently relieve lausea. This suggests that there should be r xereised care in the selection of ice which { s to be used in the sick room. It must be , lear and clean ; snow ice is forbidden, as . ?eing the most likely to hold impurities. ; Here is an expedient for keeping ice for 1 he sick: Cut a piece of clean flannel .bout eight inches square. Put this?after > nakinga small hole in the centre for the > rater to run through?over the top of a 1 ;lass tumbler; press the flannel down to * lalfor more of the depth of the tumbler, ' hen bind the flannel fast to the tumbler t vith a tape or cord, or confine it by an Iastic band. When ice is put into this g lannel cup, lay over it another piece of i lean flannel, three or four inches square, t 5o covered, it will keep for hours, even t n warm weather. t IIow to Drive the Boys from the 'arm.?If you wish to drive the boys ( roiri the farm, send them out to cut green ^ rood at the back door, and tell them they i nust get up at live o'clock and make a ire from it. Send them out to milk by j antern light, in the dead of winter, when ^ he cold winds are blowing through the racks of the barn. Have them drive the attle to water and be obliged to chop a * lole in the ice in order to let them drink. * ^et them carry water the year round up ' till from a spring. Have them turn the x rindstone for hours. Send them out to } >ull wool from the carcass of a sheep, rhen they have to hold the nose with one land and pull with the other. Make j hem do all the drudgery and disagreeable a rork found to be done on a farm, giving t he pleasant work to the hired man. Tell 1 hem there is no time for fishing or hunt- L tig. And when you have to come to your t neals, when everything should be pleasnt, and you should wear a smile on your ace, cry out and say: "We are going to c lave a drouth, and we will have to go to f he poor-house,'" and "the season is so wot hat there will be a failure of crops, and I j rill not be able to pay my taxes." Fret nd scold about everything that does not ; ;o just right. These, and other things x hat could be mentioned, are driving the ioys from the farm.?[Louisville Farm j nd Fireside. 1 - -To Detect I.m pure Water.?Fill a perectly clean quart bottle half full of water, ork and shake it; remove the cork and see , f any odor can bo detected at the mouth of ' he bottle. Cork the bottle again and put t into a warm place for a few hours, or set t t into a pan of hot water for an hour. ( ihake, uncork and test again by smell. If i n unpleasant or faint, musty odor is per- r eptible, the water requires more minute l nvestigation. The second simple test is n o evaporate a quart to dryness in a new c in pan or cup, and note the character of t he residue and what happens when it is trongly heated in a metal spoon. If the 4 ediment left after evaporation is small r nd on being burnt on a metal spoon gives J ise only to such an odor as comes from ? iurning*vegetable matter, the water is not ' reatly contaminated with sewage. Hut j1 f the sediment is in considerable quanti- * y, dark in color and burns, giving oil" the * ieculiar odor of burning hair or other ani- Jrial matters, then the water is foul. 1 SSaT To expel mosquitoes, the Scientific c American advises to take of gum cam- i ihor a piece about one-third the size of a p en's egg and evaporate it by placing it r a a tin vessel and holding it over a lamp, t iking care that it does not ignite.

May ]." 20 ly it: THE CORBINM rllK CORBIN DISK HARROW has now been in the hands of farmers for moro than iftecn years, and is to-day perhaps the most opular farming implement of its kind that as over been oil'ored to them. It is used in very State and Territory in the United Statos, nd "in Canada, Russia, Mexico, New Zealand, iiistralia, South America and Ireland. It has een awarded medals of superiority by the reat Amorican Institute Fair, The World's Exposition at New Orloans, and at every State nd local display of agricultural implements ,'lioro exhibited. DESCRIPTION. The above illustration gives a correct idoa f the general appoarance of the Corbin J larrow eady for use. It has steel disks that are turned ) a knife edge. They aro firmly and substanially attached to the axle by means of a special ut and key which clamps them firmly in poition. It is impossible to loosen this nut by nyof the accidents or operations of field work, ut if desired to tako the Harrow to pieces, a jw moments' work will readily detach those arts and enablo the operator to take oil" or get lit any of the disks in eithor gang. It has a wooden T beam?steel axles?wooden eat standards?wrought hand lever?anti-fricion balls in bearings. The Corbin Harrow as the first to adopt and secure by letters of atont, case hardened anti-friction balls for the mrnals, to prevent the wearing of the boxes nd to lesson the draft. The entire boxing is rotceted by sand bands and is furnished with elf oiling boxes covered with a dust proof oil ap. The axle revolves in a bearing formed of levon chilled iron balls, which makes tho mahiiio the lightest draft harrow in the world. Two sizes of disks aro used. The smallest izo is i:? inches in diameter and tho largest 10. The manufacturers make harrows with 12, !!, 20 and 24 disks each, but oxporienoe has ornonstrated tho fact that the 10-inch, 12-disk, r the 10-inch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best dapted to general farm work. The price of tho 111-inch, 12-disk, Harrow i sJTi.oo The price of the 10-inch, 12-disk, is 10.00. l Few Words of Praise for the Harrow. Tho following words of praise for tho Corbin lisk Harrow aro published for the information f those of our readers who aro not familiar dtli this most valuable implement. As each .itiiess is known by a largo number of our eaders, either personally or by reputation, we 30I warrantod in saying that their testimony ill bo convincing to the most skeptical: Mr. Win. II.

W>r. H. HKRNDON. Mr. Rob't E. Guthrie's Evidence. CiuTirmrsvilt.k, S. C.. July 5, 18H9. Catt. Ii. M. Grist : Dear Sir:?I have a orb in Disk Harrow which I have been using ir.several years, and consider it the most valublo fanning implement of which I have any nowledgo. I use my Disk Harrow in sowing II of my small grain, and it does the work letter than any implement I have ever used. <and that has been cultivated in cotton or corn, lay bo sown without any preparation whatver, and an ordinary hand, with two mules, an sow and cover six to eight acres in a day. III that is necessary is to sow the seed on the round, and then run tlio Harrow over i^ one me; but better results will bo obtained if the [arrow is run over the ground two or three ines. As a time and money saver, aside from ic superior quality of work it does, its value an hardly be estimated at the seasons at which 10 small grain is sown. The Harrow is very soful in pulverizing rough plowed land of any ind, especially bottoms, and it will pay any irmer to use one. Unlike the ordinary tootli, r Acme harrow, it not only pulverizes the urface, but will pulverize to the depth to 'liich the plow has gone and often deoper. It mi be used to advantage on land that is too fet to plow, without injury to the land. There liould, in my opinion, bo a Disk Harrow on very woll regulated farm, and in my opinion 0 harrow yet introduced is equal to the Corbin 1 simplicity, durability and thoroughness of ork.

The proprietor of Tim Kkijuikkk, realizing e fact that the Road Cart is fast growing in iblic favor in this section, and also realizing e fact that the people of York and surroundg counties always appreciate a good thing, is succeeded in making arrangements with io of the most reliable manufacturers in the nited States to furnish him with oa<l Carts as Premiums to Club-Makers. io Cart we oiler to club-makers is pronounced j all who have examined it to be the best conructed, tho lightest and handsomest cart they ivo seen, and thore is no doubt that it is by far e best that has over been otlored in tbis secm at tho prico, and is not intended, as the e manufacturers write us, "to compete with e cheap Wostorn-mado Cart, except in qualIt would bo an impossibility to sell tho DISK HARROW. : ment, I would say that I consider myself ill competent to do "the implement justice, hill will try to give some idea of my estimato of it> value. I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow U he the most valuablo farming implement I havi ever used, or ever expect to use. There is m other implement of which I have any knowledge that will do as many different kinds o work, or do tho work so well. There is no implement which will do equal service that I have oyer seen, that is so simple in construe i tion or which is less liable to ge', out of order j It is one of the few improved fi.rming imple ments which can be used to advantage by th< ordinary negro. Tho Corbin Harrow will more j than pay for itself in one season if given //?/, J a chance. I now have 011 inv farm a 10-inch ! 12-disk Corbin Harrow, the original price o ! which was ?10, and although the implement has been in use nearly five yeirs, if it was impossible to got another, I would not take five times its cost for it. In conclusion, let 1110 say thai j some of my assertions may sound cxtravagan to some of my brother farmers who are noi 1 familiar with tho Corbin Harrow, but I wil I say to those who may doubt any of my state j ments, that I will take pleasure iu demonstrat| ing tho truth of oacli and every assortion U the entire satisfaction of all who will call at 1113 farm near town.

I had long fell I tho need of a harrow that would pulverize tin 1 soil thoroughly from four to six inches deep and realized that this could not bo done b\ any drag or tootli harrow, for they only pulverize the surface, leaving many clods or lump! untouched, and these clods would be worker to the surface in cultivating the crop; and al intelligent farmers know that cloddy lam does not give the best results. Hence the greai importance of a harrow that will pulverize tin soil as deep as tho plow goes. My harrow wil thoroughly pulverize to a depth of .seven inches I want nothing better in stalk land in putting it wheat or oats than the Corbin Harrow, for i not only does better work than a plow, but is : so much taster, cutting six feet at a time, anf all farmers know the importance of savin; ! time at the season when these crops are usuallj 1 sown. I yonturo the assertion that no farmei ! who owns a Corbin Harrow would be withoui it fortwice its cost. Two great advantages tin harrow possess over most improved farming implements is its simplicity and durability Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it i ho has sense enough to drive a wagon. I hav< prepared stubble land for planting, whore ther< was no rocks or stumps, with my Harrow, bj harrowingit twice, crossing the first work witl tlio last, as well or better than i have ever tion< with a plow. Much more might be said about the Corbin Harrow but I think I have sai( enough to induce farmers to inquire into its merits. All who investigate will bo converted Very Respectfully, Felix H. Dover.
