"Now, gentlemen," began the fakir, as he arranged half a hundred bottles on a temporary table at the street corner, "I am here to sell the original and only Patagonian hair renewer. It has been in use thirty-two years, and has been tried by millions of people, and yet I have never heard of an instance where it failed to act as warranted. If it fails to produce a growth of new hair on the head within six weeks. I agree to forfeit five hundred dollars." I have deposited the money in the Twentieth National Bank, and shall be here about three months. Who buys the first bottle ?" "Look a-hear, mister!" said an old man, as he pressed forward, "wasn't you down to Skinnersville last spring?" "Skinnersville ? I believe I was." "Wasn't you sellin' this same stuff down there ?" "Stuff! I was selling my Patagonian hair renewer, sir!" "Wall, I want you to look at my head," continued the old chap as he uncovered a poll as smooth and shiny as a new dinner plate. "I bought a bottle of that stuff." "Stuff! Do you mean my hair renewer?" "Exactly. You warranted it to force a growth of new ha'r inside of six weeks. I used it. Whar's the growth? Whar's the newba'r?" "My friend," said the fakir, as he grew very solemn, "do you recall the words blown into the glass ?" "No, I don't remember." "Then let me jog your recollection. It says on every bottle, 'Not warranted in the case of an old bald-headed coon looking for a third wife.' Now, then, you were looking, were you?" "Yaas, I was lookin', and I got her, too, and you can go to pot with your old whitewash !" "My friend, I?" "And I got a hundred-acre farm with her, and she's expectin' a thousand dollar's back pensions, and if I was sixty-five years younger I'd lick you outer yer butes for a de?: lit ircivcr ; "My friend, I?" "Growth of new ha'r be durned!" shouted the old man, as he backed off. "Didn't need no new ha'r, nor any har' at all. She'd bin lovin' me fur twenty years, and jumped at the chance to hev me ! Go to ballyhack with yer old Pattygonian dishwater, and don't never speak to me agin!" WHY HE WISHED TO MARRY. The old fellow hustled up to the desk of the marriage license clerk, says the Detroit Free Press, and without any formality or preliminaries, he began: "Give me a marriage license," he said, "and give it to me quick." "Who for?" asked the ungramatical clerk. "For myself, of course." The clerk gave a long whistle of surprise. "How old are you ?" he inquired opening up his book. "Seventy-five." "Ever been married before ? "No; this is my first offense." "What the mischief does a man of your age want to marry for ?" "Because he can." "It isn't such a difficult thing to marry, is it?" "Maybe not for some folks," said the aged applicant, hurriedly, "but it seems so for me. I made my first attempt when I was 20, and for fifty-five years I've kept steady at it, but I never could get a woman.to say 'yes' until last night, and I'll be swizzled if I know how this one happened to, and I don't care. It's enough if she did, and she did, and now I want you to hustle with the license and have her clinched before she backs out. I've got her outside in my wagon with a policeman watching her, and I want you to hustle with the license. The preacher's waiting and if there's no preventing Providence you bet I'll not fill a bachelor's grave. Here's your money. Good bye," and the happy man grabbed his license and ran for the wagon. He Found the Nickel.?I was the only passenger on the car. Midway of a block another came in. His hat was crushed, and his clothing daubed with mud. For a long time he sat there in gloomy meditation. Then he hitched up toward me and said: "I guess I am the dodrottedest fool runnin' loose in this town at the present time." "So?" I said. "Ye9, sir. I ain't got sense enough to be let go without a guardeen. See that car up ahead there ?" I did. It was half a dozen blocks away. "Waal, sir, I run like sixty for more'n a block to ketch that car." "Couldn't catch it, eh ?" "Yes, I could. That's the trouble. I did ketch it, an' gin the conductor a dime on the hind platform, and he gin me a nickel change. Then somehow I up an' dropped the nickel overboard. I hollered to the conductor to stop the car, but he wouldn't do it, so I ups an' jumps off backwards. Look a' my clo'es. When I got up that car was out o'reach, so I had to wait for this one." , "Did you find your nickel?" "Oh, yes found that right enough. Lost my car, sp'ilt my clo'es, and skint my back jest for the gratifyin' privilege of picking up that doddeon nickel an' givin' it to this conductor. I used to think that Bill Thomason was the dingedist fool a-goin', but I guess I'm close onto him." "What did Bill do?" "W'y, don't you know ? Bill's dog got his head stuck in a pitcher, an' Bill cut off the head to save the pitcher, an' then broke the pitcher to get the head out." Joke on the Express Company.?One of the coolest actions I ever observed in the course of my express experience, said an express messenger to a reporter of the Cincinnati Times-Star, was that of a rough fellow from New Mexico. He was poorly dressed, and boarded our train at Tombstone on a second-class ticket, depositing at the same time a box in the care of the express agent, labelled "Rattlesnakes?handle with care." It was a small soap box, and not very heavy, but you can bet that box was zealously guarded. At Kansas City he came and got the box, and carried it off to a bank. The banker was a friend of mine, and, meeting him the next day, I asked what the fellow did in the bank with the rattlesnakes. "Rattlesnakes ! Well, that's a good joke on the express company," he replied. "That box had exactly $80,000 in $10 greenbacks in it." If the money had been entered as money we would have charged him a neat sum for its transportation, but, by labeling it rattlers, he had it carried for a trifle, and I'll venture it was more secure from robbers under that simple title than it would have been in the stoutest safe. A kind-hearted farmer says, "My cattle will follow me until I leave the lot, and on the way up to the barnyard in the evening stop and call for a lock of hay." Smithson says there is nothing at all remarkable about that. He went into a barnyard in the country, one day last summer, where he had not the slightest acquaintance with the cattle, and an old bull not only followed him till he left the lot, but took the gate off the hinges and raced with him to the house in the most familiar manner possible. Smithson says he has no doubt the old fellow would { have called for something if he had waited a > little while, but he did not want to keep the folks waiting diner, so he hung one tail of his coat and a piece of his pants on the bull's horns and went into the house. UOP -v JUWjfcr ui jjuaiuii, uiauu^uiaiicu iu i his profession, owns a delightful summer! home in Vermont. His neighbors there tell I this story about his youngest child, a girl j not more than ten. After much coaxing, she prevailed on her father to buy her a J donkey and cart. The first day of the i donkey's arrival he was permitted to browse 1 on the lawn. The child followed the little | animal about, and thinking his countenance wore an uncommonly sad expressions, she cautiously approached, and, stroking his nose gently with her little hands, said, "Poor j donkey! you feel lonesome, don't you ? j But never mind, papa will be here tomorrow and then you will have company." fGT "Papa, where is Mare Island ?" asked Johnny Squildig. "It is on the California! coast, Johnny," replied Squildig. "I am ! very glad to see you taking an interest in . the geography of your country. Keep it up, my boy. But what caused you to ask the question ?" "I was wondering if Mare Island was the place where they kept the horse marines." ftUsreUiwcous gjkMwg PETER COOPER S ILLUSTRATION. Peter Cooper was one of the most sui cessful, careful, and prudent business me of his time. He was strongly opposed t the methods of many merchants who launcl ed out into extravagant enterprises on boi rowed money, for which they paid an exorb tant rate of interest. The following ane< dote illustrates this point very forcibly : Once, while talking about a project wit an aquaintance, the latter said he woul have to borrow the money for six month: paying interest at the rate of three per cen per month. "Whv rtn von borrow for so short, a time ? Mr. Cooper asked. "Because the brokers will not negotiat bills any longer." "Well, if you wish," said Mr. Cooper, " will discount your note at that rate for thre years." "Are you in earnest ?" asked the would b borrower. "Certainly, I am. I will discount your not for $10,000 for three years, at that rat< Will you do it?" "Of course I will," said the merchant. "Very well, said Mr. Cooper; "just sig this note for $10,000, payable in three years and give your check for $800, and the trans action will be complete." "But where is the mouey for me?" aske the astonished merchant. "You don't get any money," was the. n ply. "Your interest for thirty-six months at three per centum per month, amounts t 108 per centum, or $10,800, therefore you check for $800 just makes us even." The force of this practical illustratio of the folly of paying such an exorbitar price for the use of money was such that th merchant determined never to borrow ? such ruinous rates, and he frequently used t say that nothing could have so fully coc vinced him as this rather humorous propose by Mr. Cooper. IX CHOLERA TIMES. During the cholera epidemic in Spain, i ' > - * J nfto 1Q50j 1116 lguuruui uuu ^upuoubivuo v*w blamed the doctor when the patient died sometimes venting their ill-will upon him ii a most uncomfortable manner. In a sub urb of Barcelona, says a French journal, man died of cholera. His relatives gave n notice of his death, but concealed the fac from their nearest neighbors. When the attendant physician made hi morning call, he found the whole family in ai outer chamber, apparently as happy and jo vial as usual. He was invited by one of thee to step in and see the patient. He did so, am on approaching the bedside and finding his dead, was about to retire, when he was sur rounded by the relations, whose smiles wer now turned into threatening scowls. The head of the family was the first t speak. Pointing to the dead man, he ex claimed, "Is it thus that you do the work w pay you for? You promised to save him see the result!" The others chimed in, calling the docto an assassin and a murderer, and one said "This is the third one you have slain in eigh days, miserable assassin that you are!" While this was going on, the whole crow< had gathered close around the doctor; th men shaking their fists in his face, and spit ting upon him. Suddenly, with a cry, th wife of the dead man leaped upon the phy sician while the others seized upon the rc mains of the medicines which he had order ed for the patient, and commenced forcin them down his throat. The doctor struggled, but was powerles against numbers, and was.not released unti every drop of the potions", the draughts, th clysters, every pill and powder, had gon down his throat. For twenty minutes the unfortunate phy sician was thus held and tortured, and whe: finally released by his savage captors, and al lowed to depart, he was more dead tha; alive. in leSS man one nour jiulu me iiiuiiieii of leaving the house he was a corpse. Th father of the victim, an old man and i poor health, took to his bed on the death c his son; and in two days he, too, was n more. Two Capitals.?Rhode Island has tw capitals. The reasons for it are thus ex plained: The present, two capitals o Rhode Island are simply survivals of th five capitals which the smallest State of th Union had not so many years ago. Rhod Island, unlike the other old States, was no settled by any one organization or collec tion of organizations, but, as its legal nam still shows, is made up of a number of sepa rate colonies. The State officially is callei "The State of Rhode Island and the Provi dence Plantations," and there were three o these plantations. To prevent dissension and local jealousies five capitals were madeProvidence, Newport, Bristol, South King ston and East Greenwich. The legislature met each May in Newport, and in October every alternate year, in South 'Kingston and in the intervening years alternately a Bristol and East Greenwich, with an ad journraent to Providence. This complicate* system lasted from 1842 until 1854, whei the present capitals were kept out of th< five, the other three being abolished. What is Money??John Stuart Mill de fines it as "a mere contrivance for facilitatinj exchangesa definition followed by anothe British writer, Jevons, in his book, "Mone; and the Mechanism of Exchange," moiie; is defined usually as a "measure of value it is something by the possession or surren der of which we measure the value to us o other articles. It need not be gold or silver In Homer's time oxen were money; th< Abyssinians used salt; the natives of the wes coast of Africa used sea-shells; the Nortl American Indians used shells; the early set tiers of Virginia used tobacco; Marco Poll says the Chinese used paper?not paper re deemable in coin, but paper made valuabl tKio fJronf lvnhn'c nrrlprs So rpalP money is anything that is generally accepte* as of value, which serves to do away witl trading "in kind" or barter; it makes n< difference what its nature is, so long as it i something that is of value to the people a large. Diseases at the Back Door.?Yes, i is the nasty habit of pitching out at tin back door a pailful and a dipperful, nov and then, of greasy water, and a handful o parings and the general waste of the kitQhen which breeds fevers and bilious diseases The waste disppears for the most part in tin soil, but that is the key to the mischief The soil gets full after a time and ferments and the hot sun breeds gases whicn surroum and enter the house. This is true not onl; of the cheaper, poorer houses and carcles families, but well to do, intelligent peopl have spots behind their houses saturatet with slops. In populous towns no amoun of supervision can prevent a great deal o filthy evil; but in the country towns slop should be carried out to trees and poured ii small quantities here and there as fertilizer Trees will take up a large quantity of wa ter, and be grateful for it. There must b simply constant intelligence in the disposa of waste.?Farm Life.

I never noticei it." "Of course you never did," said th son, pettishly ; "you never notice anythin, like that." "Perhaps not, my son," repliei the old man, gently ; "but there is one thin; I do notice which you will learn by and by and that is that Jones pays cash." S6T" Daniel IJoone's bones rest in his be loved Kentucky, but the house which h built for a home, and in which he passe* his last days, is a land mark near St. Chailet Mo., where it still stands in a good state o preservation. In the latter days of the oli pioneer's life he occupied the attic of th house as both sitting-room and worksho] and busied himself making powder-horns a souvenirs for friends. Here, too, he kep the cherry-wood collin he had fashions with his own hands. Not long before h died he used to lie in his collin several time a day "just to try the fit of it," as one of hi old acquaintances says. The house was on of the first erected in St. Charles county, am the Indians watched its building with inter est. . ?hc ,#am and ^fireside ONE OR TWO PLAIN TRUTHS. I know What I am about to say will no n at first bo pleasant, or perhaps acceptable 0 to the majority of farmers, but when think ing men analyze these plain truths, thej j_ will pardon their first disagreeable impres sions, for the sake of the kernel of gooc that lies in them. I do not claim originali h ty in presenting them, they have been re (| peated hundreds of times, and the princi 3 pies underlying them are as old as the hilh j' themselves. But the urgency of our presen needs demands that they should be impress ? ed again and again upon the minds of oui farmers. e Farming, all things considered, is the bes business on earth, and the safest, where th< T farmer gives the same attention to his worl e that the doctor, the lawyer, the merchant bestows on his; but under our present man e agement it is actually cheaper for a farinei to buy cotton than it is for him to raise it e And this is the crop on which we depeni ? for our income. To the owner of land, this condition is de plorable, but to the farmer, who rents lane q and borrows money, or provisions to make j cotton, it is ruinous. When we examine into the causes whicl have led to this distressing and almost gen j eral agricultural condition, we find amonj other mistakes two of greatest prominence The first is, that we have depended to< 3 much on commercial fertilizers and too little q on green crops and home manures. Th< r history of agriculture throughout the work shows that in those countries were commer q cial fertilizers are relied on exclusively 01 even mainly to produce crops, poverty anc e want have resulted, while in countries ^ where it is used in conjunction with thor 0 ough preparation of the laud, that is t preparation which puts the land in condi' tion to utilize the fertilizer, prosperity and ?'Kloeonrl tho frtrmfp'fl ltlfp]. nuuea, even, umu uicmu ?uv ligeut efforts. It is beyond contradiction that a man can not permanently enrich his land with guanos u alone. They produce an artificial stimulus f1 but they do not build it up. This "build > ing up" must be done by green crops, and n by compost applied broadcast over the land The common practice of running a furrow a drilling in a little commercial fertilizer ? covering and planting on that, is positively ;t no benefit to the land, and often proves 01 little benefit to the crop. And this is not 3 from any fault of the guano, the failure a most frequently comes from our mistakec manner of using it. A most important lesa son, which we have got to learn is, that we cannot afford to use expensive fertilizers, n unless by means of these, renovating crops and deep plowing, we put our lands in cone dition to appropriate to the best advantage that large proportion of these fertilizers 0 which is now wasted. Our lands once brought to this condition we need not feai ? to fertilize heavily. The renovating pro' | cess is "slow and tedious," but until we nerve ourselves to this task, and undertake r I !i " nnd Ol'ctnmati/Mlllv U'A I 11/ CU1 UC3LIJ auu OJ OVVUiHVlVM?<J j WW V . > hope for agricultural prosperity. This process of renovation is also costly. , but it is not more so than the present plan of planting a large areas, hastily prepared e and imperfectly cultivated. And in the end the "building up" plan is far more cere tain, far more remunerative. Just here is suggested to our minds the second grave error, that is, planting large areas in the uncertain, "slip-shod" mannei ? which has characterized our methods for many years, in other words, undertaking to plant more land than we can thoroughly manage. There are thousands of acres e throughout the State, which do not begin tc e pay for the cost of cultivation. Leave these to the kindly offices of Mother Nature, select only your best land, and apply there all 11 the energy, all the manure, which has heretofore been too much' diluted by the "spreada ing" process. "What we need is concentration. If oui last seasoms 9,000,000 bales had been made e on half the land which was used to make ? that crop, and the other half had beeu applied to improved methods of raising corn, 0 wheat, oats, grass and stock, how many millions of money that escaped through oui fingers would have been retained at home o and be now adding to our prosperity ! > The big farms of the North-west have not f as a rule proven permanently profitable, e The most prosperous communities are where e tho farms nre moderate in size, highly culti e vated and occupied by intelligent and indust trious families, who take pleasure and pride - in their business and surroundings. e To make the cotton producers of the South - the richest and most independent people on i the globe, they have only to cultivate less - land in cotton, cultivate it better?that is f bring it to the highest state of cultivation s possible and put the remainder in diversified - crops, cultivated on the same plan.?Hon. R. T. Nesbitt, in Southern Cultivator. e , 0 , ' A Good Way to Start a Boy in Busi^ ness.?There is no better or cheaper way to start a farmer's boy in Jbusiness, says The j National Stockman and Farmer, than by giving him a nice pig. Generally when e such presents are made the gift consists of a a runt or a cripple or a sick pig for which there are but little hopes of recovery. No greater error can be made than to start a " boy off under such discouraging circum? stances. If the pig happens to be pulled r through it costs so much time and trouble V that the boy feels discouraged and the future P business man has a set back that may have a bearing upon his prosperity during the re* mainder of his life. f Pick out the best sow pig in the litter and ' make the present as you would to a friend e whom you expect to benefit. Give the boy ^ to understand that it is not his pig and your 3 hog. The keep of the pig until it reaches ' its maturity should be included with the 3 eift. If the sow is bred and the boy wants " to enlarge on his operations he can and e ought to be willing to furnish his own feed V or pay for it. He can do this and make ' money. The interest created in caring for 1 the hogs will more than repay the father for 3 the cost of the experiment. The boy will 3 learn more business in such a transaction ^ than he would in a whole life time theorizing upon business principles. It might he better to start a child with an insignificant gift as t this than to be able to make him a present e of a farm when he is grown up without any knowledge of how to take care of it. f! _ | ' Would You Comfort an Invalid?? g Look hopeful, and never despairing.

A Friend Wishes to speak through the Register of the^beneficial results he has received from a regular use of Ayer's Pills. C, He says: "I was feeling sick and tired and my stomach seemed all out of order. T I tried a number of remedies, but none seemed to give me relief until I was induced to try the old reliable Ayer's Pills. I have taken only one box, but I feel like a new man. I think they aro the most pleasant and easy to take of th anything I ever used, being so finely 1? sugar-coated that even a child will take ^ them. I urge upon all who are $] a in nieea s of a laxative to try Ayer's Pills."? B Boothbay (Me.), Register. "Between the ages of five and fifteen, I was troubled with a kind of salt- ^ rheum, or eruption, chiefly confined to ni the legs, and especially to the bend of . the knee above the calf. Here, running sores formed which would scab over, 0j but would break immediately on mov- ai ing the leg. My mother tried every- H thing she could think of, but all |was 'n without avail. Although a child, I read in the papers about the beneficial effects " of Ayer's Pills, and persuaded my moth- to er to let me try them. With no great - of faith in the result, she procured pt Ayer's Pills and I began to use them, and soon T noticed an improvement. Encouraged by this, I kept on till I took two boxes, jf when the sores disappeared and have never troubled me since.H. Chipman, -j Real Estate Agent, Roanoke, Va. Jt "I suffered for years from stomach sa and kidney troubles, causing very severe M pains in various parts of the body. None ^ of the remedies I tried afforded me any aa relief until I began taking Ayer's Pills, d< anil was cured."?Wm. Goddard, Notary tr Public, Five Lakes, Mich. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
