How to Tell a Good Teacher. A gentle-man from Swampvill'e was tell ing how roant different .occupations he had attempted*. Among others . he had tried school teaching. " How long did- you, teach V\ asked a - bystander. , ? < ..'Wal, I didn't teach long; tbst is, I only went to teach." " Did you -hire ont1?" <; Wal. (didn't hire out, I only wsnt ta hire out." ?..;? / .. . " " Why did you give ?b up?"*.* " Wal, 1 guvit up for some reason or nuther. You see, 1 traveled into a dis trict and inquired for the trustees. Some body said Mr. Snickles was the man I wanted to see. So* I found Air. Snickles -named my object, introducing myself, and asked him what' he.thought about Icttin me try my luck with the big boys and unruly gals in the district. ile wanted to know if I ,raaly considered myself capable ; and 1 told him ? wouldn't mind his asking me a few easy questions in 'rithmetic -jiud jogruphy, or .showing my hand-writing. fie' ?aid fro, never mind, he could tell a good teacher by Ins gait. " Let mc's?? you walk-'oft a' little ways,1' says he 'and i can teH -jist as well if l d heard you examined,' says he. Ile sofhi thc d?oV as he sp*oke, and J thought he looked a little skittish; but 1 was conski'rable fcustrated, and walked on as smart as I knbwed how. He said he'd tell t-ne when to stop, so I kep' nn till I thought i'd gone far enough-and then s'pected s'thing was to pay, and looked round. Wai, .the door was shel, and Suicides was. gone ! " Did ) o? go back ?" " Wal, no-I didn't go back" "Did you a np Iv for another school ?" Wal,"no-i did't apply for another school," said the gentleman from Swamp ville, "I rather judged my appearance asin me."-N. T. Teacher. Ix A BAITFIX.'-? farmer had occasion to send his man, who, by thfi way, was a jolly Dutchman, to the neighboring town for a barrel of .molasses. The weather being warm, and the road rough,, and) the driver, moreover, driving rather fast, the molasses took a notion to M work," as it does generally. But we will let him tell his own story in Lis own words : " Veil, I gomed along, and I gomed ' along till I got to de hill vat stand on de top of dc blacksmit shop, and den, 1 looks around pehind my pung hole, tinks I, I viii sthop dat ; so I sthops de cart, and scotches the oxen mit ;t grabble rock, and trove der piing hole in as tight as never vos, mit a lightwood knot ; and gomed along again till I got to where de vorks of de road oross each oder mit d? meetinhouse, and I looks around pehind my pack again, and the shtuft* was all run ober mit debarr?l agin."0, says I, I' viii fix you' now, and I pick up'a.chook mit all my might; do ting Hew out mit a noise like a gun and knocked me down flat oft' de road? mit my pack, and scart de cart, and it ruined away mit de oxen an' turned- dem all ober each oder -proke ebcrything in beices and I am gomed home mit myself, put de cart is runnrn? to der tvful." DIDN'T I??S?- In" the ' year 18G3, a meeting was held in Lebanon, Indiana, for the purpose of getting, up a supper and fair for 'M'ck and wounded soldiers^ .fudge B. being Joyal al! over, was very active in such matters, and was appointed chairman of- the-meeting. 'There was .mite a nunfber of lad tes present. The business progressed rapidly, aiid as most of the articles for supper were to be do nated, the Judge called, in his ludicrous manner, on those present tb know how much they could contribute.' Almost enough was given to complete the arrange ments, when some one suggested that it would be necessary to have some mille.' " Oh, yes," said the'Judge, rising with great dignity, '.'all young ladies who give milk will please rise.'1 The vonn" ladies did'nt rise. Not long cilice a kind-hearted and gen erous man died, leaving behind a fearful, jealous, sombre minded wife to mourn his loss. After the poor man was dead she began to exhibit signs of repentence. and acknowledged to her friends that she had done her poor, dear husband a great wrong while upon earth. She was ad vised to visit a medium, and ask his for giveness, which she did. .The medium called up thc departed spirit of .the hus .band, when thc following dialogue took place : Wife-'Is this the spirit of my dear husband ? Answer-It is. . . - . . . ? Wife-Will you forgive mc,for my wickedness towards you while on earth ? Answer-Yes. Wile-Are you more happy now thaa yon were when living? Answer-Much happier. J Wife-Do you desire to return Jo earth ? .. Answer-No ! Wife-Where aro you 1+ Answer-In h-1 ! Exit bereaved widow. ^ A FIRST .COUSIN'S HOTEL.-A ?rmer living in the western part ojf Massachu setts, applied to the proper authorities for a license to keep a hotel, lt was replied that he lived on a bye-road, little iravelod, and where entertainment was seldom openly asked "for. " I" know it," he an swered,, "and yet there is considerable demand for horse feeding and single meals of victuals." Tfie result was that his ap plication was granted. He raised bis .4?f n, " Entertainment for man and beast," ??id from that hour his traffic fell off. In rtw,o years time he disappeared from the Jist,ojf landlords of the country, and the sign ,was removed. ,Our?nformant asked him, "What in ;the name.of common sense induced him to ask for a license?" "I had roost ex .eel lent reasons for the application. Before J raised my sign I had loL-> of cousins, .more than I had aay idea of,. to visit rae, to feed their horses, themselves, and to ?top over night. Aa soon as I hung out \ mlmm?., , iViiiininii ?ll I NIB I |||IV|.. -1_'.'A. my sign, my cousins begaa to s fall off, and in a year or more not one came to see me. Keeping a hotel has killed that business." .Had a Lump on His Side. For the benefit of those individuals of bur community who wiil periist in spend ing their last dolmr in drink, and who so often appear at the Mayor's reception with D. D. annexed their names, we will relate?'the "following anecdote, 'which may. afford them food for thought : A man- long noted for intemperate' habits was induced by the Rev. John Abbott to sign the - pledge 'HnTiisown way, which he did in these words : " I pledge myself to drink no intoxicating drinks for one year." Few .b?lieyed'he could keep iq but, near the end of the year, he'agaiu appeared 8tfa -temperance 'meeting, without once having touched a drop. "Are you going to sign again 1" asked Mr. Abbott. . :. j "Yes," replied he, " if I can do it in my own way ;" and accordingly he signed the pledge for nine hundred and ninety nine years, "and if," said he, "I live to .that time, I intend to take out a life lease." A few days after he called'on the tavern keeper, who welcomed him back to his ,old haunt. ' * ' ? ? Oh, landlord," said he, as if in pain, " I have such a lump on my side !'' "That's because you have stopp?e! drinking,"-said thejandlord. " Yon won't live long if.'you keep on." ? . . ; " WiM drink take the lump away ?". 9 Yes ; and rf voy don't drink, you'll soon have a lump on tho.o'her side. (Jome, let'? drink together.;" and. he poured out two glasses of whisky? "? reckon I won't drink," said .the former inebriate, "especially if keeping the pledge willoring another lump ; for it isn't very hard lo. bear, after h);;'', and with* this,? hie, Grew thc himp.-^A'k(A\ of greenbacks-from his side pocket, and walked oft", leaving the landlord to Iiis reflections. '. -. ? -V ?-1-7-?- I } . THE MORAL MARKKT.-The following report of matters in the moral market .has been-made, jWe. hope -it ?snot. en-, 'ti rely corree.';: -z * ? I ' Honor-Scarce. Old stock exhausted, arid the new will be a com pl etc Jai I ii re.... Virtue-Old growth .nearly consumed. Young growth-prospects; very unprom ising. Honesty-Noire in market. - .

Very few invest ments. Love-None offered-except for green backs. Talent-Scarce article. Sold exclu sively for cash. Consistency-Out of fashion. ' GOOD.-It seems that we've a woman or two in the city who are capable of handling the reigns of government, as will bc shown by what follows : Our reporter was around hunting a house for a friend, and called to see a family who were preparing to vacate a cosy dwelling. As the door stood open, reporter walk ed in without knocking, and his eyes straight way lighted on the dame of the household who was making frantic lunges with a broomstick at some object upder thc bed. " Good morning, madam. Ah ! you have a troublesome cat under the bed ?" "Troublesome cat?-no sir! It is that sneaking husband of mine ; and I'll have him out or break every bone in his body!" ". You will, eh !" ?aid a fain* voice un der the bed. " Now, Susy, you may rave and pound and rave, but I'll be dog ged if I'll come out from under this bed wlwle I've got the spirit of a man about me."-Waynesboro Times. ETQUETTE OX THE CARS.-Whether ladies ought to have*seats. I believe they ought. . -- " ' I always side with the ladies. When I--am-in a crowded car, and a lady comes-in, .'I think -it is the duty of spine other man to get up and give her his seat. I look around to.seejf any man in tile crowd looks like making a move in that direction,, and ?when I see them all ksep their seats, I bury myself in my newspaper and blush for my sex;'--Cory O'Lanus. A Tennessee Dutchman having caught his son in wrong doing, determined to ad minister a dose of hickory. 'So he trim med ?. switch and went to. look for.the youngster, who incontinently took to' his heels. . After chasing the boy around for awhile, the old man thought to persuade him to stop and take the licking. So he halted and hailed the wary fugitive: . " Shon," said he, "Shon, sthop ! I'm not so mad as vat I wash !" ", ? . How TO GET A HAT.-" Say, Pomp, you nigger \yhere yon get dat hat?" " WJiy, at the shop ob 'cours?." ; "What is de price bb such'a''article as dat?" .'I don't know, nigger-I don't know ; de shop keeper wasn't dar." ? An Irishman took the train from Lon don tu Gravesend. On jumping from tho. carriage he remarked, that if he had known he coqjd haye made the journey in so short a time he would have walked a-foot. "HE SHOT ALL BUT ME !"-Wb?p Gen. Braxton Bragg commanded the arrfiy of Tennessee, one day, while on the march, he suddenly came upon one of the "ragged," butternut fraternity, who was just ihen busily1 engaged in plunder-" mg a garden. The General drew up, and .in that clear,* ringing voice, which once heard on the field of battle is not readily forgotten, called out, "To what' command do you belbng?" Butternut was caught ; he recognized the General, and he knew, the man he bad to deal with. Assuming a 'green, gawky manner, he answered as follows: "Minter, I did ba long to Mr. Bragg's company, but he shot all but me!" This was a little too much, and draw ing his hat over his eyes and compressing ' his lips, the General rode on, and let the last nun of his " company" live. . j -DOMESTIC RECIPES.

Ivichardson, of Sherman, No York, says : Whether more cream ca bc obtained from deep or shallow pan; _is.au. easy matter to settle, without e^e: an experiment. It takes time for crear to. rise ; therefore, it will rise in a shallot pan sooner than in a deep one, and con sequeaitljv'in warm - weather', 'when roil will thicken in a few hours, shallow pan should he used, or the? cream will b caught fin, the thickened milk and th skimmer won't- find -it. -'But in rcoole weather, whon milk will remain thin lon, enough for the cream to rise, deep pan are preferred'by soma. Even then sweete butter can be made fi om shallow pans. ' CURE Foi SCRATCHES AND SORE BACKS -A correspondent at Tarboro, Edge 'combe Co.vN..G, writes June 18th, 18G7 -"While in.the Confederate Cavalr service (Barringer's Brigade,) I found tai grease and spirits of turpentine quit effectual. in scratches ; travelling in dr; weather improves it. Calomel Ls good fo sore backs which hive proud flesh." Jnr. BLIGHT ON ROSE-Bustup it i claimed, can be prevented by the use o sulphur, which as soon as the parasit shows indications of being at work, shouh be dusted over the bushes on a dry, sun shiny day,vand repeated after a rain shoirh the first application not be efi?ctual. Wi believe there may be something in this and as it is confidently recommended wi shall give it si trial this season shouh there be any uccasiori. A GOOD CONDIMENT.-To one peck o green tomatoes, add eight onions and si: peppers. Cut them in slices, sprinkli j thoroughly with salt and lei them remait I over night. In the morning drain off th? juice, cover with vinegar and boil fiv< minutes. Again drain off the liquid thus preventing fermentation. Then adc a cup of sugar, mustard seed and spices Place in a stone jar and cover with cole vinegar To ali lovers of high seasonec condiments this will prove desirable. PROTECTION AGAINST GNATS AND MUS QUETOS.-A correspondent of the London Field states that a branch of walnut tree suspended over a bed is a good proteo tion from the attack of gnats and mus .qui toes. . KICKING Cows.-J.J.Watson writes the New England Farmer in this wise : 1 had a kicking heifer-a perfect kangaroo. I tried moral suasion-no use; then re taliation-when she kicked, I ki?ked-she grew worse and I no better. 1 then "tied her up," but that didn't affect her hind legs-she spilled her milk-she jammed the pail-she rapped my shins I was then advised to take up one fore foot and slip a short strap over her knee, so as to compel her to stand on three legs, being " tied up," of course. This done, cut your nails, and milk at your leisure. She can't hurt you, and w;?ll "come to her -milk," nnfl give up kicking-, I . . EXTRA TOMATO CATSUP.-? bushel of ripe- Tomatoes, 3 boxes mustard, 3 lbs brown sugar,- 1 11^-salt,. 1 quart vinegar, ^ lb black pepper, ? lb allspice; J lb cloves, six large onions, one handful peach leaves, two ozs. India cayenne pepper, (common red-will answer.) Simmer the whole three hours, then strain through a wire seive or coarse muslin. Bottle and seal closely, and keep, as age improves tire-catsup. To WASH CALICO'WITHOUT FADING. infuse-three gills of salt in four-quarts'-of water; put the calioo in while hot,' and leave it till cold, and in this way the'col ors are rendered permanent, and will not fade by subsequent washing. * A good Ijlack ink, which will not cor rode steel pensy it is said can be; made by digesting in an open vessel 62 ounces of coarsly powdered nutt gall. 15 ounces gum senegal, 18 ounces sulphate of iron, free from copper, 3 drachms aqua ammo nia, 44 ounces alcohol, and 18 quarts dis tilled or Tain water. The digestion should be continued until the fluid has assumed a deep black color. ?'. PACKING EGGS.-Two settings of eggs were sent, last spring, a long distance in' England. Both were packed with extra care, one in bran, the other in hay. Of those-in bran, not one hatched, while every one packed in hay produced a chick. LABOR SAVING WASHING SOAP.-Dis solve one pound of soda arid a half pound of hot lime to one gallon of bailing wa ter; next dissolve one pound of sliced hard soap in two quarts of boiling water; when cool, mix them together. This forms a compound for washing-linen, &c., &c, superior to any of the washing fluids and patent soaps in use. When wash ing day" comes round make strong sud-t of this soap, and boil the clothes, previ ously soaked, for half an hour. Take them out, drain them well, pour boiling water on them, when they will be found to be clean ; nothing more being required that to rinse them well, to free them from tho remains of the suds.
