I'm not gwine ter tell you edzackly whar my tex may be found; suffice it to say its in the leds of the Bible, an' you'll find it somewhar 'tween the first chapter of the book of Generation and the last chapter of the book of Revolutions, and ef you'll go and sarch the Scriptures, as I have sarched the Scripttires, you'll not only find my tex thar, but a great many uther texes as will do you good to read, an' my tex, when you shill find it, you shill find it to read thus: "And he played on a harp uv a thousand strings?sperits of jdst'men made perfeck." My tex, breethering, leads me to speak uv spent8. Now thar's a great many kinds of sperits in the world?in the first place, thar's the sperits as some folks call ghosts, then thar's the sperits of turpentime, and then thar's the sperits as some folks call liquor, an' I've got as good an artikel of them kind uv. sperits bn my flat-boat as eves was fotched down the Mississippi river, but thar's a ; great many other kind of sperits, for the tex sez: "He played on a harp uv a thou-sand strings?sperits of just men made perfeck." But I tell you the kind uv sperits as is ment in the tex; it's fire. That is the kindj of sperits as-is ment in the tex, my breethering. Now thar's a great many kinds of fire in the world. In the first place, thar's the common sort of fire you lite your segar or pipe with, and then thar's camfire, fire before you're ready and fall back, and many other kinds of fire, for the tex sez: "He played on aharp uv a thou-sand strings ?sperits uv just men made purfeck." "But I'll tell you the kind of fire as is meant in the tex, my breethering?its hell fire! an' that's the kind uv fire as a great many uv you'll come to, ef you don't do better pq* wljaf, you b^ve been dcin ?for "He played bn a harp of a thou-sand strings ?sperits uv just men made perfeck." / Now the different sorts uv fire in the world may be likened unto the different persuasions of Christians in the world. In the fust place we have the Piscapalions; and they are a * high sailin' and a high-falutin' set, and they may be likened unto a turkey-ouszara mat , flies up into the air, and he goes up and up till he looks no bigger than your finger-nail, and the first thing you know, he cum? down and down, and is a fillin' himself on the karkiss of a dead hoss by the side of the road? and "He played on a harp of a thoa-sand strings?sperits of just men made per feck." And then thar's the Methedis, and they may be likened unto the squirrel, runhin' tip into a tree,. for the Methedis believes in gwine on from one degree of grace to another, and finally on to perfeckshun, and the squirrel goes up and up, and up and up, and he jumps from lim' to lim', and branch to branch, and thfe first thing yon know he falls, - and down he comes kerflummux, and that's ikmr in e 1 Inro follin' UKC 111C DICIUCUIS, 1UI iuej 10 uuvio uwuu from grace, ah!

The baby was his first, and he wanted to weigh it. "It's a bouncer !" he exclaimed. "Where are the scales ?" The dontestio/huuted upt ?n old-fashioned steelyard that had come down from a former generation. It was the only weighing machine in the house. The baby, wrapped in the fleecy folds of some light fabric, was suspended from the proper hook, and the proud young father assumed charge of the exercises. "I'll try it at eight pounds," he said, sliding the weight along the beam to that figure. "It won't do. She weighs ever so much more than that!" He slided the weight along several notches further "By George!" he said. "She weighs more than ten pounds ! Eleven?twelve?thirteen?fourteen ! Is it possible!" He set the baby and steelyard down and rested himself a moment. "Biggest baby I ever saw !" he panted, resuming the weighing process. "Fifteen and. a half?sixteen ! This thing won't weigh her. See! Sixteen is the last notch, and she jerks it up like a feather. Go and get a big pair of scales at some neighbor's. I'll bet a hundred dollars she weighs over twenty pounds. Millie !" he shouted, rushing into the next room, ''she's the biggest baby in this country ! Weighs over sixteen pounds !" "What did you weigh her on ?" inquired the young mother. "On the old steelyard in the kitchen." "The figures on that are only ounces," she replied, quietly. "Bring me the baby, John." [Chicago Tribune. 93T Some time ago. says The Northern Figaro, a passenger on the Great North railway remarked in the hearing of one of the company's officials, how easy it was to "do" the company. "I often travel," he said, "from Huteheon street to the Joint station without a ticket. Anyone can do it. I did it yesterday." When he alighted, he was followed by the official, who asked him in a pleasant and affable way, how it was done. But the wily traveler was not to be cajoled out of his secret by a few soft words. At last he agreed to tell for a substantial consideration. This was given. "Now," said the eager official, "how did you go from Huteheon street to the Joint station yesterday without a ticket ?" "Well," was the reply, "I walked." 1ST "I might remark," said the young man, who had met with persistent and repeated refusals, "that you are one of the wisest young women I ever met." "Why ?" Because you seem to 'no' everything." 6atktiisgfc . iW Politeness is the outward garment of good will. A change of diet whets the appetite and promotes digestion.

I Go not know of any snirer way of predicting the changes in the weather than by observing the habits of the snail. They do not. drink, but imbibe moisture during a raii^ and 1 exude it afterward. This animal is never j seen abroad except before a rain, when you j will see it climbing the bark of trees and get-! ting on the leaves. The tree-snail, as it is J called, two days before rain, will climb up the stems of plants, and if the rain is going to be a hard and long one, then they get on the shelj tered side of a leaf; but if a short rain, on ! the outside. Then there are other species j that before a rain are yellow ; after it, blue. Others indicate rain by holes and protuberances. These will begin to show themselves j ten days before a rain. At the end of each ! tubercle is a pore which opens when the rain I comes, to absorb and -draw ip the moisture.. fn other snails deep indentations, beginning; at tne neaa net ween me noma mm niuii^ with the jointure of the tail, appear a few days before a storm. Every farmer knows when swallows Hy low that rain is coming;, sailors, when the sea gulls Hy toward the land, [ when the stormy petrel appears, or '"Mother I Carey's Chickens," as they are called, predict1 foul weather. Take the ants; have you nev- j jer noticed the activity they display before a storin?hurry, scurry, rushing hither and; ! yon, as if they were letter carriers making six trips a day, or expressmen behind time! Dogs grow sleepy and dull, and like to lie before a fire as rain approaches: chickens pick j up pebbles, fowls roll in the dust, Hies sting and bite more viciously, frogs croak more clamorously, gnats assemble under trees, and horses display restlessness. I When spiders are crowding on the wall, toads coming out of their holes in unusual numbers of an evening, worms, slugs and suaiIs appearing, robin redbreasts pecking at our windows, pigeons coming to the dovecote earlier than usual, peacocks squalling at night, mice squeaking, or geese washing, you can put them down as rain signs. Nearly all the animals have some way of telling the weather in advance. It may be that the altered condition of the atmosphere with regard-to electricity; which generally accompanies dj#nges*rf Weather; makes thetuAfeel disagreeable or 'pleasant. 'Hie fact 'that a cat licks herself before a storm is urged by | some naturalists as proof of the speeiul in-1 fluences of electricity. Man is not so sensitive. Yet many feel listless before a storm, to say nothing of aggravated headaches^ toothaches, rheumatic pains, and last but not least, corns.?[Cincinnati Enquirer. Home Lighting.?Don't ' put up" with a wretchedly poor light, even if you do use lamps; and don't keep them within reach of the children. For the obtaining of the first, get good burners, even if you have clean lamps. For the second, fasten all lamps in brackets as far as possible above the little ones' heads.

The curing of meat is often carried on vyijji.tyo much undue haste, to secure the best results. The barrels are improperly scalded, and in time 1 the brine is consequently contaminated and 1 the preserving qualities impaired, and soon the meat loses its firmness and in due time! becomes tainted. With hogs,.as generally managed on the farm, after the killing the meat should be thoroughly cooled. It should 1 hang up until cool enough to cut up well.1 Hams, sides, shoulders and jowls are the ( parts usually salted down and cured ; the ribs, backbone, and other parts are used!, fresh. Beef is kept easiest in a pickle. It should 1 be hung up until all the animal heat is cool-,: ed out, then cut it up in convenient pieces, i' Have the barrel clean and pack in reasonably close. Put in water all the salt it will dis-1, solve; the brine should be strong enough to j bear up an egg; add an ounce of saltpetre j to every two gallons of water: pour over the beef until it is all covered.

It lwis a val? t ue but little known, which is that the European or "French walnut" as it is called, grows finely on it. and is easily grafted. Tt can, ] in that way, he made to yield a fortune if cultivated on a large scale.

Why do cows need more shelter than I they did years ago ? This is one of the ques- ] tions asked at a dairy conference in New York. It assumes that cows do need more j shelter now than they did years ago. which is not true. The needs of the cows are the.] same uow as then. The better shelter of today is due to improved dairymen, who understand better the real needs of the cows. They ' needed then as much shelter us they do now. but they did not get all they needed. ' Jffir Many a young man has been misled by Ingersoll's advice. "If you have only half a., dollar," said the eloquent infidel, "spend it like a prince." This is well enough, hut it should he remembered that a wise prince, such a prince as Bismarck, knows the value of half a dollar, and when lie spends it he gets his money's worth in some shape or other.

Tt is. used in every State and Territory and is heartily ' and enthusiastically endorsed by every farmer I who has ever used it, and they are numbered by thousands. Practical farmers everywhere agree ' that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most1 profitable iniplenient for cultivating the soil and putting in grain yet invented. It increases the ! crons, saves time and saves labor. | The Harrow is made of first-class material i throughout, and with proper care will do good i work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay i for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks | are made of the very best of steel, and will neither ' | break, 1 >eiid or crumble. The disks are not af-i I fected to any appreciable extent by rocks, and I i the Harrow'will do good work on all kinds ofi ! land. 1 The following are some of the points of supe- j | rioritv possessed by the f'orbin Harrow : i 1. ft is the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly i 1 flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven ! 1 surfaces). 2. It is the only Harrow in which thegangsare | j independent of each other?either can tit or fol- . ' low ati inequality without.disturbing the other. . I 3. It is the only Harrow having chilled boxes j and anti-friction balls. 4. It is the only Harrow that has a successful | , Seeder Attachment. j i 5. It is the only combined Harrow and Seeder i i that covers every kernel of grain in rows like a j drill. (1.

Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, Isar- i ranged ho that a Seeder can he attached to it. i The Seed Box and its machinery are of the most simple and compact character. All its metal farts are of malleable or rctined wrought iron. : ts weight is (of the size to fit the No. 7, 12-disk i Harrow) about eighty pounds. The .Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure. It lix-ks itself firmly to the Harrow frame by simply "putting it into position. Neither bar, 1 bolt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool is required to attach or detach it. Half a minute of time will remove and one minute replace it. The Harrow and Seeder combined cost aliout half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It < will sow grain as evenly as any drill, cover it bet- i ter, and place it at any depth in the ground. It is two complete implements in one. It prepares the field in the best possible manner for seeding and then sows the crop. It sows REI) RUST j PROOF OATS capitally.
