?iumtirou5 Department. The Minister's Son.?In a certain Vermont town where the war of sects still rages with much of its old time bitterness, dwells a Presbyterian clergyman, who looks upon all the world outside the pale of his church as darkness and the bondage and gall of iniquity. Especially does he regard the Unitarians as the children of darkness, and at least once a year he is accustomed to preach a sermon aimed at their particularlydamned heresies. This clergyman has an only son, and the son, so far from being bitter against the sects which so excite the holy wrath of the father, is utterly indifferent to the whole lot, Presbyterianism included. His father has endeavored to instill into him some of his owu spirit, but apparently without the slightest success; and the young man is theologically the blackest of black sheep, although morally there is not much which could not be said in his praise. One beautiftil Sunday last autumn, when ? il . v_ xl. _ game was plenty in tne wooas, me juuug man took his gun, and while his father was at church inveighing against the devil and all his works, the son was engaged in open Sabbath-breaking, a sin against which he has no scruples whatever. When night came be presented himself at home with a well-filled game-bag, much to the horror of his father. "My son," the old man said, "did you shoot those to-day ?" "Yes, father," was the ready reply. "Didn't I have good luck ?" "0,my son," the other groaned, in answer; "to think you should go gunning on the Lord's day! Why, I had almost rather you had gone to the Unitarian meeting!" \- ? # ? Hoist with His Own Petard.?Mr. B., a book publisher, has a wonderful memory, and his knowledge of English literature is so available that when a friend wishes to know where any particular passage may be found, he steers at once for Mr. B. A pompous would be wit, not long ago, thinking to puzzle him and make sport for a company at dinner, informed them prior to Mr. B.'s arrival that he had written some poetry and intended to submit it to Mr. B. as Southey's, and inquire in which of his poems the lines occurred. At the proper moment, therefore, after the guests were seated, he began : "Friend B., I have been a good deal puzzled cf late trying to find in Southey's poems his well-known lines running thus, (quoting his own lines). Can you tell us about what time he wrote them ?" "I do not remember to have met them before," replied Mr. B. "and there were only two periods in Southey's life when such lines could possibly have been written by him." "When were those ?" gleefully exclaimed the witty questioner. "Somewhere," said Mr. B., "about that early period of his life when he was having the measles and cutting his first teeth; or near the close of his life, when his brains had softened and he had fallen into idiocy. The versification belongs to the measles period, but the expression clearly betrays the idiotic one." The funny questioner smiled faintly, but the company roared with laughter. Paid fob His Joke.?It's all very well to be funny, but fun oftentimes is costly, as the gentleman in the barber's chair found out when he paid for his joke. The barber had just shaved a stylish-looking man. "Fifteen cents," said the barber. "What for ?" "For shaving you." "Look here, do you know how much of my valuable time I have given you while sitting here? I have been in this chair about ten minutes, and during that time I might have made a thousand dollars on the boanl of trade. Don't talk to me about fifteen cents." ^ "You might be right," said the barber, and you might have made ten thousand dollars on the board, but you have been occupying my chair, and will have to pay rent. For shaving I charge only fifteen cents. And we will let that go, but for the rent of the chair I charge fifty cents, and you will give me the money or go without your hat. Hold that hat, Jim," he called,! addresing a boy. "Perhaps you are right," said the man, ? "lrtmonfa raflontinn "t'll nftV VOI1 I ttivcr a muuicuv o avuvvvw**. ? - x~*v for the shave." "No; I want my rent." "Here, give me that hat. I'm in a hurry." "Not till you give me fifty cents." "Well, here, confound you, take the fifty cents. I never saw such a town as this. A man can't joke without hating to pay for it." General Fisk's Boomerang.?Maj. Ford H. Bodgers tells an amusing anecdote of -the late Gen. Clinton B. Fisk. The general was addressing a Sunday-school convention. One of the speakers had reminded the children that it was Washington's birthday. "Children," said Gen. Fisk, "you all know that Washington was a general. Perhaps you know that I am also a general. Now, can any one tell the difference between Gen. Washington and mygelf?" "I know, sir," piped a small boy in the back part of the room. "Well, what was the difference ?" said Gen. Fisk, smiling at the boy's eagerness. "George Washington couldn't tell a lie, sir," cried the boy in exultant tones. Screams of laughter followed, in which the general joined as heartily as the rest.?Detroit News. Referred to Pa.?Lovely daughter? "Pa, Mr. Nicelfelo proposed to me last night, and I referred him to you." Pa?"Well, I really don't know much about the young man, and I'll have to " Daughter?"When he calls to see you about it you are to receive him kindly?real fatherly, remember?and help him along all you can, until he asks for my hand, und then you are to look alarmed, and talk about what an angel I am, and how many millionaires and dukes and princes I've refused; and then you are to reluctantly consent aud give him your blessing." "Oh, I am, am I ? But suppose I don't; then what?" "I'll marry him anyhow."?New York Weekly. Reciprocity.?Congressman-elect Simpson of Kansas, is a man who is not easily embarrassed. The other day he was apnmonKwl V?v a fpmnlp lfthhvist, ftt, WfuhitlC F,u"v"vu *V ? j c ton, who declared that she had heard a great deal of him through the newspapers, and who said: "Mr. Simpson, is it true that you do not wear socks, and will you not let me see for myself whether the story is true or false?" "Madam," replied the gallant Jerry, "I am a firm believer in reciprocity in all things, and I will show you my socks on one condition, and that is that in return you will show me yours." It is hardly necessary to say that the inquisitive female uttered a little shriek and fled hurriedly. Simpson of Kansas, is not a simpleton by any means. I6T Judge Q., who once presided over a criminal court down East, was famous as one of the most compassionate men who ever sat upon the bench. His softness of heart, however, did not prevent him from doing his duty as a judge. A man who had been convicted of stealing a small amount was brought into court for sentence. He looked very sad and hopeless, and the court was very much moved by his contrite appearance. "Have you ever been sentenced to imprisonment," the judge asked. "Never, never!" exclaimed the prisoner, bursting into tears. "Don't cry, don't cry," said Judge Q., consolingly; "you're going to be, now?" A Quick Mind.?Several years since, a darkey named Tom, living at Bowling Green, Kentucky, was missed, and the dead body of another was found under a railway trestle a short distance from town, and identified as Tom by his friends and relatives. The funeral arrangements were being made, when Tom returned. The burial was, however, proceeded with, and shortly afterward, when Tom was asked how he felt when he came back and found that he was being mourned as dead, he replied : "Why, Marse Rochester, just as soon as I seed dat nigger I know'd ** it warn't me." MST "You want a position in my store do you miss?" said the kind-hearted merchant. "You don't look as if you had had much experience in selling goods. I have only one place vacant now. It's the soap department in the basement, and the salary is only $1.75 a week, but my wife informed me this morning she needed another girl in her kitchen. If you would like that place, she will give you $4 a week and a good home. Which would you prefer?" "I'll take the soaplady position, sir," was the haughty reply. Wayside #atbm?fs.

WHAT A BIG COTTON CROP MEANS. In looking over the cotton statistics for the past twenty-five years, I find some figures that should interest the Southern farmers at this time, while they are arranging for the coming crop. The crops have varied in size from less than 3,000,000 bales to near 8,000,000. The market value of the crop, however, has remained almost a constant quantity, rarely bringing less than $300,000,000, or more than $325,000,000. From these figures it seems that a crop of five or six million bales will sell for quite as much as a crop of 8,000,000 bales. The South can hold a monopoly ou cotton so long as the price does not go above twelve I cents a pound, and we should pitch the crop so as to keep the price between ten and ! twelve cents. We can make five or six million bales, and also raise our own horses, mules, grain and wheat. If five or six million bales will bring as much money as seven or eight millions, then, by this plan, we will save annually what we pay out for stock and provisions. The horse and mule drovers will carry off from Atlanta alone Al?? ? ? Anfinn this year more umu uuc-siaiu vi tw vuu.v cotton crop of Georgia. Is not that sum worth an effort to keep at home ? Even if we should make no effort to raise our own stock and provisions, it would be money in our pocket to cut the crop down a couple of million bales. It costs on an average, little, if any, below $25.00 to cultivate, gather, gin and market a bale of cotton. If, then, we can cut down the crop 2,000,000 bales without cutting down the price of the crop, or losing the control of the supply, it follows that we are to-day fifty millions poorer on account of having made an extra big crop. A big cotton crop is a bonanza to the railroads, commission merchants, ware-housemen and company, but it means nothing more nor less than big guano bills, big labor bills, and hard times for the cotton planter. If the farmers of Georgia continue the practice of growing cotton to buy what they can and ought to raise on the farm, it will not be ten years longer before half of them will be teuants on the lands that are now their own.?D. N. Sanders in Southern Farm. Benefits of Going Barefooted.?I consider the following, taken from The London Lancet, very sensible and worthy the respectful attention of parents. I have ever found the writer's views confirmed by personal experience with my own children: [ "Children who are allowed to go barefooted enjoy almost perfect immunity from the danger of 'cold' by accidental chilling of the the feet, and they are altogether healthier and happier than those who, in obedience to the usages of social life, have their lower extremities permanently invalided and, so to say, carefully swathed and put away in rigid cases. As regards the poorer classes of children, there can be no sort of doubt in the mind of anyone that it is comparatively better they should go barefooted than to wear boots that let in wet, and stockings that are nearly always damp and foul." There could be added to the al>ove the testimony of many eminent physicians, who give as an additional reason the impossibility of a child's foot growing naturally, shod as it has to be, with the conventional shoe. ? ^ ? * Care of Closets.?Closets are not only useful but a necessary part of a house. Many housekeepers think that there cannot be too much closet room provided. There are many things which are properly put in closets, and other things, which should never go into closets. Of such are soiled undergarments. Clothing that has been worn should not be hung away until properly ventilated. In this way two fertile sources of bad odors in closets may be excluded. Many hang their night clothes in the closet during the day. This also should be avoided, unless they have had a thorough airing before being hung. If the closet does not admit of a window, the door should be left open for a few hours every day, to admit pure air. Some persons have ventilators placed just over the door, but the outside air, if admitted for' a .short time every day, will purify a closet where only clean clothes are hung. No matter how clean the clothing in the closet may be, if there is no ventilation, the clothing will not be what it should.?Detroit Tribune. A Cure for Tooth Ache.?It is not at all uncommon to have tooth ache with perfectly sound teeth, or in teeth that have been recently filled. Without explaining the cause for this, I would simply recommend a very convenient little application which you can readily prepare yourself and keep on hand. Take a piece of chamois skin, or of fine, closely woven flannel, and soak it through in a good extract of Jamaica ginger, or what is better still, in tincture of capsicum, which you can obtain from any druggist. Let this dry, and put it away until the time of need. To use it'in the case of the toothache I have mentioned, with a pair of scissors cut a small piece off', and place it between the gum and the lip, directly over the root of the offending tooth. This will act as as a counter irritant, and its effect is really marvelous.?Laury McHenrv, in New York World. _ Lime-Soaked Seed Corx.?As the time approaches for planting corn, we call attention to the method of soaking seed corn in lime water, to prevent the depredations of the bud-worm on the young corn. We printed last year the experience of Mr. J. D. Collins, of Edgmoor, in which he stated that his corn from lime-soaked seed entirely escaped the worm. Mr. Collins has received a letter from a farmer in Alabama, saying that he has adopted this plan for four years and it has worked well every time. The mixture should be made about the color and consistency of thick milk, and the seed corn kept in "soak" six hours?not longer. This is a simple remedy and within the reach of all. A peck of lime, Mr. Collins says, is sufficient to prepare seed for a whole year's planting. ?Chester Reporter. The Way the Money Cues.?Towels are used for holders. Napkins are used as dishwipers.

A REMARABLE SENTENCE. One of the most eccentric and at the same time one of the ablest j udges that ever sat upon the far western bench, was Kirby Benedict, who, for thirteen years, was a justice of the supreme court of New Mexico, having been first appointed in 1853 by President Pierce and reappointed by President Buchanan, and appointed chief justice of the court by President Lincoln. He was a man of great ability and learning, strong in his prejudices, violent in his passions and relentless in his convictions. There are many anecdotes told of Judge Benedict. But the crowning act of his judicial career was the sentence of death passed by him upon a prisoner convicted of murder, which sentence was as follows: "Jose Maria Martin, stand up. Jose Maria Martin, you have been indicted, tried and convicted by a jury of your countrymen of the crime of murder, and the court is now about to pass upon you the dread sentence of the law. As a usual thing, Jose Maria Mnpfin it. is si nainful dutv for the judge of a court of justice to pronounce upon a human being the sentence of death. There is something horrible about it, and the mind of the court naturally revolts from the performance of such a duty. Happily, however, your case is relieved of all such unpleasantness, and the court takes positive delight in sentencing you to death. "You are a young man, Jose Maria Martin, apparently of good physical constitution and robust health. Ordinarily you might have looked forward to many years of life, and the court has no doubt you have, and have expected to die at a green old age; but you are about to be cut off as the consequence of yourt>wn act. Jose Maria Martin, it is now in the springtime ; in a little while the grass will be springing up in these beautiful valleys, and on these broad messas and mountain sides flowers will be blooming, birds singing above your lowly head. "The sentence of the court is that you be taken from this place to the county jail; that you there be kept safely and securely contined in the custody of the sheriff until the day appointed for your execution. Be very careful, Mr. Sheriff, that he shall have no opportunity to escape, and that you have him at the appointed place at the appointed time; that you so be kept, Jose Maria Martin, until?Mr. Clerk, on what day of the month, does Friday about two weeks from this time come ?" "March 22, your honor." Very well? until Friday, the 22ud day of March?when you will be taken from your place of confinement to some safe and convenient spot within the county (that is in your discretion, Mr. Sheriff; you are only confined to the limits of the county) and that you there be hanged by the neck until you are dead, and?the court was about to add, Jose Maria Martin, 'may God have mercy on your soul,' but the court will not assume the responsibility of asking an all wise Providence to do that which a jury of your own people have refused to do. The Lord couldn't have mercy on your soul. However, if you have any religious belief, or are connected with any religiousorganization,it might bewell enough for you to send for your priest or .your minister and get from?well, such consolation as L..i rt/ltnono XfAU trt TtlflPA ! you cuii 5 uui me wuiv wjtiiTVijjui. lv ,?, no reliance upon anything of that kind.

I The Road to Success.?"Can you tell j me where is a good place to live well and J comfortably ?" asked a young man of an old uncle who had been quite successful in busi- ] ness. "Anywhere is a good place," replied the uncle. Success depends on the man and not on the place." "You don't mean to say that a man can do as well in a country town as in a city ?'* "If he has the element of success in him he will be as successful as his environments will admit, and as he gets too big for these he will find other chances open for him to enter." "But don't you think there are places where a man can get a start sooner than in others?" "Yes, he may find a place where the channels are open, with conditions more favorable for rapid growth, but as a rule every man has to compel success. He has to literally conquer the influences that prevent success, no matter where he goes." "You find men of fine minds, good health, excellent reputation, and noted for industry, who fall right in the midst of thrift. Other meu will start in the same line of business with far less promise and succeed. I tell you, boy, it is in the man, and not in the opportunities. It is the hustler that works his way past you, gets his ticket and is in the circus before you get yours. "The thing is to make up your mind as to what you want to do, fit yourself for it, and then make it your business. Then there is one other essential to success: Live within your means." HIS FIRST UEKEMONV.?A uiuu iicvci knows what he can do till he tries. When Mr. Gillespie was first appointed trial justice for Pumpkintown, he was unexpectedly cornered by two love smitten persons under very trying circumstances, not only to the young people, but also to the new officer, i Thunder, wind, rain and darkness were i making the night hideous, when there was a | sudden alarm at the door. He attended in ; haste to the cause, opened the door, and in ; rushed a young man and a maiden almost j out of breath. "What'sthe matter?" asked i the new fledged justice, in great astonishI ment. "Be quick," said the youth, "vre j want to be married and the old man is right i after us with a shot gun." The officer ex' plained that he had no forms and knew none, j "Hang the fonns!" said the young man, "marry us." "If I must, I must," said the I officer, and while the two joined hands he i said: ! Dark and dismal is the weather | That joins this lad and lass together, i Let none but him who makes this awful thunder, I Part this man and wife asunder, j I pronounce you man and wife j For the term of either's life.

Not ! one claim out of a hundred ever reaches ! the courts. Vou may put it down as a fact ' that when a suit is brought it is only be: cause a claimant has made an unreasou| able demand. A large railroad has in its employ a staff of more than 100 lawyers, i They are distributed over the line, aud ! although under salary, do not devote all of j their time to the service of the company. As soon as word reaches the general office j that there has been a wreck ami that persons arc injured, an attache of the olfiee is sent ; to see the individual injured, and, if necessary, compromise the case. Many peo; pic are satisfied with a guarantee of the ; doctor's bill or payment for the actual time ! lost from work. With employes oompromisj es are easily effected. We generally pay all expenses of the treatment, pay down a certain sum, and then employ the injured man as a crossing watchman or in some such position.?Interview in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat. All Mail Matter Is' Counted.?Persons who read the reports of the number of pieces of mail matter handled at the New York postoffice may have wondered how the figures were obtained. The explanation is simple: Every piece was actually counted. Every employer who stamps mail matter must keep an accurate account of the number of pieces he actually handles and must make a daily report of the amount of work he has done. He must not only give the grand total, but tell what part was in each of the four classes of mail matter, and also how the pieces reached the post office. The lettcus, etc., are mailed at the postoffice, ill which case they are known as "drops," collected by carriers, arrive by trains, or in the case of foreign matter, are brought by steamers. A report must be made of every piece that comes in by anyone of these ways. When one considers that an average of about 600,000 letters alone reach the general postoffice here every day, it will be seen that the task of counting them is a big one. Let a person count 1,000 and then try to get some idea of the labor involved in keeping a record of 1,000 times that many, and his head will swim at the thought. As the counting is done by a number of men, and the letters are subdivided into batches, the labor is not so enormous as might at first be supposed.?New York Tribune. &AKIN0 POWDER Absolutely Pure.

It is used in every State and Territory and is heartily and enthusiastically endowed by every farmer who has ever usou it, ana tney are uumwa-u ,v ( thousands. Practical funucrs everywhere agree that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most profitable implement for cultivating the soil and j putting in grain yet invented. It increases the crops, saves time and saves labor. The Harrow is made of tirst-cluss material: throughout, and with proper care will do good work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay [ for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks are made of the very best of steel, and will neither break, bend or crumble. The disks are not at- ; fected to any appreciable extent by rocks, and the Harrow will do good work 011 all kinds of land. The following are some of the points of superiority possessed by the Corbin Harrow : 1. It is the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly . flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven ! surfaces). 2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs are , independent of each other?either can tit or fol- j low an inequality without disturbing the other, j .'1. It is the only Harrow having chilled boxes i and anti-friction balls. 4. It is the only Harrow that lias a successful j Seeder Attachment. 5.

Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, Is arranged so that a Seeder can bo attached to it. The Seed Box and its machinery are of the most simple and compact character. All its metal parts arc of malleable or refined wrought iron. Its weight Is (of the size to tit the No. 7, 12-disk Harrow) alxwt eighty pounds. The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure. It locks itself firmly to the Harrow frame by simply putting it into position. Neither bar, 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. Haifa minute of time will remove and one minute replace It. The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It will sow grain as evenly as any drill, covor it better, 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 RED RUST PROOF OATS capitally. The St. Lawrence M't 'g Co., who are the manufacturers of the Corbin Harrow, recommend the No. 7 Harrow as being best adapted to general farm work. It is made in two sizes, viz.: 12 disks, hi inches in diameter, and 6-foot cut, and the other size has 10 16-inch disks and 5-foot cut.
