Beat it well with a spoon till it is cold, then place it in a dish in which you wish to servo it. Variety of Crops.?There is perhaps nothing that would tend more to advance our agriculture than a gcucral disposition among farmers to diversify their industry by enlarging tho variety of their crops. There US n O^fTTs %h^T?-ffas3n oa d j t o' th e assortment of farm products, either by introducing commodities that are eutircly new, or by reviving and improving the cul turc of some that havo becu comparatively neglected. Every new commodity that furiners can successfully raise and profitably sell, tends' to diminish the uncertainty of their business, and to iucrease tho average profit. It also diminishes the liability to injurious competition, and by adding to the rcsoprccs.of the farm makes the owner a more independent man. Mixed husbandry is undoubtedly, as a rule, tho surest and safest system to follow, and in the long run the most profitable. Special farming is always more or less hazardous, as tho increased risk involved in it is usually out of all proportion to the prospective gain. The great point of difference between the two systems may be very briefly stated. Special farming is a game ot chance ; mixed husbandry is a game of skill. The man who llovnfees hill noma mninlu In nna nr law J ??w runs tbcgauntlct of so many chances that he becomes rather a speculator than a farmer. ]$ut he who pursues intelligently a system of general farming, including a varied assortment of products, plants his business on a broad foundation, and has the chances of success nearly all in his favor. Among the products of agriculture can alvrays be found various articles of utility and value that are only occasionally raised by farmers, but which, if the market price were a little higher, or the cost of producing them a little less, could be at once widely and profitably cultivated, and farmers would gladly avail themselves of the opportunities if pricss were a matter in their control. Now, in reference to such articles of production as these, although it may be irue enougn uiai me producer cannot always determine the market price, yet it is 1 equally true, and even more important, that I he can \n many eases do what is perhaps still better, he can reduce the cost of pro- | duction, and this, in the end. is a gain for the public as well as for the farmer. If, by thus reducing the cost, ho succeeds in securing for his new product a fair and remunerative profit at current prices, ho rises at once to the position of a successful man and a public benefactor, for he establishes a new line of industry, and extends the boundaries of his vocation. Again, whenever a new and important use is discovered for any of the regular pro ducts of ihc farm sufficient to materially increase the demand for it in the gcncrul market, 'this gives nt once an additional value to such commodity, and adds another source of profit to the regular business of the farm.?Station Record, A distressing accident is thus chronicled in a Wisconsin journal : "A sad accident happened to the family of John Klderkin, on Main street,yesterday. One of his children was run over by a market wagon three years old with soro eyes and pantalets on that never spoke afterwards." . Sow Oats.?Spring Oats put in by the middle of this month will save much corn. Philadelphia's Hat-Killer.?A gray-haired little man, a dug of do particu- C lar breed and less boauty, save in the auii- si ablo wag of bis tail, aud a box strapped S across the little man's back?these three a items filled the bill of a rat-catching con- ti cern that slowly coursed its way dowu Co- a lauibia avenue on Saturday. n lie had followed rat-catching for many b years, the old man said?how many ho didn't ii then recall?and he had been successful in ? his work. In the stables at Seventh and b Washington avenue he had cleuued out 317 1 rats in ono day. It was a common occur- a roucc for him to get soventy-five out of a n house, and often he hud captured over u a hundrod in stores. Grain stores are espc- ii cially proliGo of rats. Tho box containing t ferrets aud the dog that trotted so dcuiure- c ly, behind woro important adjuncts of the s business. n There were four ferrets in the box.? t These he had owned several years, having v obtained them from tho captain of a schoon- ? cr sailing between this country mid Liver-, p pool. A peep into an opening made for b vcntilatiou satisfied the reporter as to what t kind of "varmiut" n ferret is. IIo has a s long body, which is thin and supple, as i though boneless. The neck is long, and i tapers down to a head with a very sharp t snout. Tho eyes aro small and red, hence i the expression, "As red as a ferret's eyes." i Tho owner said that these had become so c well domesticated that they could be ban- e died without fear. s "IIow do I go to work ?" Well, I exam- 1 ine a house, carefully ascertaining where t the rat holes urn. TU?iv all but two of < these I place a net with small meshes. The ( ferret is nut into a hole, aud that is inime- ? diatcly covered wi?h a net. I theu station < myself with the dog at the only hole left 1 open. I am armed with a club, which takes { heavy part in tho business should the rats bpcome too numerous for the dog. It is hard'y more than five minutes before a rat bounces out of the uncovered hole, nud tho dog receives him in his mouth. Tho ferret, after having been through the houso, works out himself, and leaves hardly any rats behind. "I never use the same ferret twice in succession," he cxplaiucd, "and that is the reason I carry four of them. They become tired, and, if used too often, stop to rest, and, therefore, time is lost." lie did not know what became of the rats, as he never took them himself. It seemed remarkable, but a rat had never been kuown to turn on a ferret, the rat sccmincr to recognize the ferret as his enemy and always getting out of the way just as fast as possible. Contests in close quarters between a rat and ferret had invariably resulted in a victory for the ferret, for with all the uimblcncss of the rat, the ferret is tho most active and takes the rodent by the throaUbeforo he is aware of such a near approach. While the old man talked he thrust his hand in the box aud among his pets with A i I. . -I' 1. L 1* /* 1 - t '?. 1 uub mo sngiuesb io;?r ?n ueing uuicu oy 1 them, and said to the reporter that in his ] own room ha gavo the littlo yellow-coated < fellows perfect freedom. "It is not," he i stated, "an unusual occurence for persous < to havo them about tho house, and i is a matter of some surprise to him that < such was not more frequently the rule, as i it was a certain preventive against rats and mice. The ferret is fond of blood, aud it is this thirst that gives hiui such an excel- ' lent zest in the hunt for rats. If any ouc of a farge J number. They are well known for their fecundity, producing as many as two litters in one year. Thoy eat raw meat, and the fresher it is the better they like it, having an excellent relish for tho taste of blood.? I So strong is this developed in them that ] care has to 'be taken not to let them get among cniciccns, ior tuey wouia UHI ami suck the blood from a dozen chickens in a night." The little old man, who gives this information, has been able to make a comfoi table living by following the calling of a ratcatcher, and when not otherwiso employed it keeps him busy dividiug his attention, as equally as possible, between tho dog and ferrets, for there is intense jealousy between these members of*that household.?Phil. Record. A Dou Crazed by Guief.?A family who formorly lived near here, emigrated to Kansas about a year ago, leaving behind them an old dog, Darned Dash. Dash had been brought up in the family from puppyhood ; he had kept a faithful watch every night in winter and summer weather, and ho was deeply attached to his master.? Dash was not ugly in disposition, and he discriminated instinctively between the wandering reprobato, whoso presence in tho neighborhood was disagreeable, if not dangerous, and the substantial citizen out for a II. J \\r i? * t !_ wmiw ur ii ur?vc. ir uciuer liiuiiiercncc or " lack of means caused the proprietor of Dash to go away without him is uot kuwn.? c After his master's departure Dash seemed a changed dog. Although kindly 0 treated by a relative of his former owner, he grow moping and despondent, lie would c sometimes run down the road to meet an approaching team, and look up anxiously at c those in it, as if expecting to see a wellknown faco. When spukuu to in a pitying 0 ton*, or patted and caressed, he would turn np his mild eyes with a mute appealing c glance, and his tail would wag in a hopeless, forlorn way. At length it became evident c that the dog's brain was affected. Was ho crazed by grief, or was he in the imbecility c of old ago? Tho writer is inclined to tho former opinion. At any rate it was judged c best to kill hiui, and a single bullet put nil end to the life and the wretchedness of poor c Dash.?Providence Journal. c "The New Domestic Bible" offer, noticed last month appears to have had quite 0 a run, as some papers of generally good reputation have published the ad vertiscuicut. c It is strange that one can read the advertisement and not see the catch. It gives a c cut of a fine large Bible, and it also doscribos one worth $15, and then states : "In 0 order to introduce our Bibles, wo agrco, upon the receipt of 75 cents, to pay the postage and other expenses, to scud any " reader of this paper a copy of the Iloly J Bible." Mind, he don't agree to send that ? Bible.

Jenator Bayard then referred to the moneyK)wor, of which so much fear is expressed I >y tho opponents of the resolution aud to he great accumulation of property, aud aid that unequal distribution of property s attributable more to the use of incouvcrtblo paper money than to nnythiug else.? refferson said : "Tho breaking up of tho < luasuro of value makes a lotiory of all pri- 1 rate property."' It was a fruitful source of 1 lomagogism. In referring to judicial dcci lions as to greenbacks, he snijl that he ronlidered the construction of tbh Constitution ay the Supremo Court, resting the power :o issue legal-tender eotes upon\ the exist- ' Bnco of some great enicrgfh(jJJ%f which" Jongrcss is tho judge, to bo alarming and langcrous. It made tho Constitution weakest whero it should bo strongest in tho tiour of danger. lie saw no guarantco that jrocnbacks would not from tirno to time be nflated in tho future as they had been iu :ho past. lie combated Senator Cole's argument that to withdraw the legal-tender power from greenbacks was to question the rnlidity of the public debt, and Baid the lotes never were anything but un evidence >f debt. To offer to pay the debt was a lovel way'of questioning its validity. The egal-tcndcr power is liko the germ of a loadly fever, Only uccdiug tha heat of the excitement of speculation, war or distress io develop its deadly powers. While it is lortnant lie would end its cxistenco. The present prosperous tiuic is favorable for permanent resumption. Unless the present measure is adopted, the financial law, that bad money will drive out good money, will operate to the extent of the amount of our paper circulation by arresting tho.absorption of imported gold into our currency.? rhc withdrawal of the Icgul tender power could injure no niau, nor lcsscti the value of the notes in the hands of any holder, because an equivalent for the face value is offered iu gold and silver coin in caso any creditor refuses to accept the notes. He showed that tho endowment of government notes with legal tender power had never prevented their depreciation when natural causes tendod to produce it. In this connection he spoke of the Weaver bill as one commentary on tho foregoing remark, and said if it were just to pay soldiers the difference in value between United States notes and coin, it was just to pay it to every one u. i i ) 1.1: ~ .1 t ~ ill., ii rni _ who uuu uucu uungou iu iukc mem.

Severe Droughts.?An iutcrcsting record is that of severe droughts as far back is the lauding of the Pilgrims. "IIow nany thousand times arc observations made ike the following : "Such a cold seasou !" 'Such a hot season !" "Such dry weather!" >r "such wet weather!" Such high winds jr caluis !" etc. All those that think tho lry spell we had last spring was the longest ever known, will do \gjell to read tho folbwing: In the summer of 1621, 2-1 days in succession without rain.

However, one uight he esolved'to hear his fate in spito of lis modesty, bo ho started off to spend ,he evening with her. When he arrived to his joy her parents were from Some, and she was seated knitting at the citchen tiro, with a large grey out lying at Iter feet. ^Jamie sat down beside her, but sot a word couid he say till at tho end of Itnlf nti limit* tin i r? 1 it ramlvol (tf?h!ak ?'

Some time prior to tho war a young couple met nud loved. After a short courtship they were married and lived happily together. When tho war broko out tho husband shouldered a musket in defense of Kis country. Letters camo regubrly for a limo, and then ceased. Wot^r was sent home that he had been taken prisoner, and soon after, the dread news cauio that be was dead. Tho nevrs was considered so authentio that tho government allowed the widow and her children a pension. After a reasonable time she listened to the pleadings of another suitor aud married him.?

L. l'rcssly, of Due West, preached an admirable sermou in the H.iptist church on last Sabbath morning, from Romans xii: 1) ?"Cleavo to that which is good." He started out with the declaration that "morality is not piety," and showed the utter worthlessness of morality as a substitute for religion. Ho highly approved of dignity and truth and fidelity in all the common relations of life, but none of these thi ngs will serve instead of that godliness which is couteutmcnt and peaco and joy and salvation. The thin guise of earthly morality with which we blind and deceive our fellows will not stand the test of trial when wc couic to answer for the deeds done in the body.? Morality is not inconsistent with religion, indeed there cau bo uo true piety without morality; but molality without religion is dead. Mr. Prcssly is a most forcible preacher and is always entertaining and instructive. ?Abbeville Medium. ,# Adam an American.--!" :s is indeed a progressive age. The ustout-'iing discovery has Been made by an e minent philologist of Europe, Dr. Rudolph Fa Ik, that the Progeuitor of tho human race, father Adaui, was uu jVaix>ivjattn. uud he has really communicated the result of his 'researches to a newspaper of Vienua. llcv. Joseph Wilder, D. J)., pastor of the Union Congregational Church, Brooklyn, says he can sec no reason why Adam should not havu been an American. Tho question whether Adam was a Yaukec or a Southerucr seems not to bu definitely settled, tho' the hypothesis alleged to be, is in favor of his being a Southern man. Dr. Falk says that lie has always argued that Noah's Ark was built in South America, and that it floated away from West to East, about six thousand miles; and that Charleston is in a direct line with Mount Arrarat,a fortiori Adam may have been placed iu tho garden of Edcu on the American continent. How vain are the speculations of fiuitc mortals ! a iie uost ov 1'apkft.? it may not be uuiutcrcstiug to newspaper readers to learu that the price of print paper has advanced nearly fifty per cent, in the last two months. Tins item of expense in getting out a newspaper is a very large ouc, and with the advance in price, alluded to, added, tho cost to the publisher of each poper issued is probably as much as it sells for. Newspaper readers and patrons need not expect publishers, under these circumstances, to eoutinue to furuish papers at the low priees that now exist. Prices of subscription uiust advance, which is tho proper way or meeting the situation ; and in case they do patrous should not grumble. A merchant may increase or lower tho prices on his goods to meet a rising or falling market.? Newspaper publishers hardly ever increase their prices to patrons, but when such n material rise in tho cost of paper takes place as that now in existence we do not soe how they can help doing so.?Atlanta Post.
