J6T" Stopping for a day or two at a village
a short way from Boston, Jeems went
to a barber's shop to get shaved. On entering,
and casting his eyes about the room,
he perceived that the barber drove a double
trade, of tonsor and small grocer.
"Shave, sir?" said the barber to the customer,
whose face sufficiently indicated the
object of his visit.
Jecmes made no reply, but drawing himself
up to a lofty height, proceeded, in his
attorney fashion, to interrogate the barber
as follows:
"Sir, are you the barber?"
"Vcs, sir; have a shave ?"
" Aud do you also keep this oyster cellar ?"
"Yes, sir; have aDy oysters?"
"Well, sir, this occupation of yours, gives
rise to the most horrible suspicions. It is a
serious thing, sir, to submit one's head to
the manipulation of a stranger; but if you
can answer a couple of questions to my satisfaction,
I should like to be shaved."
The barber said he would try.
- ? 1_ ..K
"Well, sir," said Jeems, soiemniy, "uu
you shave with your oyster knife ?"
"No, sir," said the barber, smiling.
"One question more," continued the interrogate^
"and remember that you are under
oath, or rather recollect that this is a
serious business?[the barber started]?one
qucstiou more : do you ever open oysters
with your razor ?"
"No, sir!" exclaimed the barber indignantly,
amid a roar of laughter from the bystanders.
"Then shave me," said Jeemes, throwing
himself into the chair, and untying his neck
cloth with the air of a man who has unshaken
confidence in human nature.
The True Mahomedan Spirit.?Acertain
good natured old Vermont farmer, preserved
his constant good nature, let what
would turn up. One day, while the black
tongne prevailed in that State, one of his
men came in, bringing the news that one of
his red oxen was dead.
"Ishe?" said the old man ; "well, he always
was a breechy cuss. Take off bis hide
and carry it down to Fletcher's, it will bring
the cash."
An hour or two afterwards, the man came
back with the news, that "line back" and
his mate were both dead.
"Are they?" said the old man ; well, I
took them from B to save a bad debt,
that I never expected to get. It is lucky
that it aint the brindles. Take the hides
down to Fletcher's, they will biingthe cash ?"
After the lapse of an hour, the man carac
back again, to inform him that the nigh brindle
was dead.
"Is he?" said the old man, "well, he
was a very old ox. Take off his hide, and take
it down to Fletcher's ; it is worth more than
any two of the others."
Hereupon, his wife, who was a very pious
soul, taking upon herself the office of Eliphaz,
reprimanded her husband severely,
and asked him if he was not aware that his
loss was a judgment from heaven, upon his
wickedness.
"Is it ?" said the old fellow; "well if they
take judgment in cattle, it is the easiest way
I can pay them."
No Use for Trowsers.?On the morning
of the meteoric shower in 1833, old Peyton
Roberts, who intended making an early
start to his work, got up in the midst of the
display. On going to his door, he saw with
amazement, the sky lighted up with the falling
meteors, and he concluded at once the
world was on fire, and that the day of judgment
had come. He stood for a moment
gazing in speechless terror at the scene, and
lion tpifli a roll nf horror snrnnor out of the
door into the yard, right into the midst of
the falling stars, and there in his efforts to
dodge them he commenced a series of ground
tumbling, that would have done honor to a
ropo dancer. His wife being awakened in the
meantime, and seeing old Peyton jumping
aud skippingabout the yard called out to him
to know what in the name of sense, he was
doin' out thar dancin' round without his
clothes. But Peyton heard not?the judement
and long back account he would have
to settle, made him heedless of all terrestrial
things, and his wife by this time becoming
alarmed at his behavior, sprang out of bed,
and running to the door shrieked at the top
of her lungs?
'Peyton, I say, Peyton, what do you mean,
jumpin' about out that ? Come in and put
your trowsers on.'
'Trowsers, Peggy, what the h?H's the use
of trowsers when the world's a fire ?"
An old negro preacher in Alabama,
of the Methodist persuasion, had cherished
the bitterest dislike for Mississippi ever
since it repudiated its debts. On one bright
Sabbath morniog, when addressing a large
cbonv audience in Alabama, he showed, by
the following exhortation, that in spite of
his devotional appearance, he was subject
to the influence of worldly passions. Having
under consideration that portion ot
.Scripture promising that the Gospel shall
be preached to all the nations of the earth,
he said : "My beluved bruthrio, now is the
cicepted time! The day of judgment is

The Reason for Lioiit Silk Dresses.
?'Maria,' said a lady to her colored chambermaid,
'that is the third silk dress you
have worn since you came to me ; pray how
many do you own?' 'Only seven, miss;
but I's savin my wages to buy anoder.'?
'Seven ! Why, /don't own so many as that.'
'Spects not, Miss,' said the smiling darkey,
'you doesn't need 'em so much as I does.
You see you quality white folks everybody
is quality; but we better-most kind ob cullud
pussens has to dress smart to 'stinguish
ourselves from common niggers.' So, critics,
who denounce the present extravagant
style of dress, be lenient! And, when the
paraphcrnilia of hoops and flounces, silks,
velvets and laces is very astounding, think:
Well, poor things! they must do something
to 'stinguish themselves from common folks.
.4?*Doesticks, the unique, amusing contributor
to the Detroit Advertiser, has invented
a new medicine. It is called, "-Doestick's j
Patent Self-Acting Four Horse Power Bal- j
sam." He says it is designed to cure all |
diseases of the mind, body or estate, to give ;
| strength to the weak, money to the poor, boots |
l to the bare footed, decency to blackguards,
j common sense to Know Nothings, and white
wash to Black Republicans. It acts philo!
sophically, morally, mentally, psychologically,
and it is calculated to make our sublunary
sphere a blissful paradise.
How the Devil Lost.?The following
is too good to be lost. We clip it from an
exchange paper, and respectly call attention
to it of certain persons who feel disposed to
spread in the newspaper line:
A youog man who ardently desired wealth
was visited by the Satanic majesty, who
tempted him to promise his soul for eternity,
; if he could be supplied on this earth with all
the money he could use. The bargain was
concluded, the devil was to supply the money
1 - 1 iL -
| and was at last to nave tne soui, ume-s mc
I young man could spend more money than
: the devil could furnish. Years passed away
i ?the man married, was extravagant in his
i living, built palaces, speculated widely?
lost and gave away fortunes, and yet bis coffers
were always full.
He turned politician, and bribed his way
to power and fame, without reducing his
"pile" of gold. He became a "filibuster,"
and fitted out ships and armies, but bis banker
honored all his drafts. He went to St.
Paul to live, and paid the usual rates of interest
for all the money he could borrow, but
though the devil made wry faces when he
came to pay the bills, yet they were all paid.
One expedient after another failed?the devil
counted the time, only two years that he
must wait for the soul, and mocked the efforts
of the despairing man. One more trial
was resolved upon?the man started a newspaper
! The devil growled at the bills at
the end of the first quarter, was savage in
six months, melancholy in nine, and broke,
"dead broke" at the end of the year. So
the newspaper went down, and the soul was
saved.
Do as I Did ?The other morning a celebrated
fast man from the West end, entered
a refreshment saloon, where some fifteen
or twenty of his friends are in the habit of
congregating, about eleven o'clock. He,
with his usual heartiness and generosity,
J tasked the crowd to smile '; they, nottnug
loth, stepped up. "Youmustall do as I do,"
said the liberal friend. -'Oh certainly, certainly,"
was the universal response, "what
is your's going to be ?" "I shall take brandy
and water for mine." "Very well, we'll
all take braody and water," they cried The
party drank, and the waggish inviter laid
tlowu his fip upon the counter, and immediately
retired, whispering in his softest tones.
"Do as T do, gentlemen." The party looked
at each other a a moment, with a most
comic expression of face, when one, who felt
the full force of the idea creeping powerfully
through his hair, exclaimed, "Sold I"
"Here," he added turning to the bar-keeper,
"take my pocket book, and treat freely
for the next twenty minutes."
An old woman who lived near the
frontier during the last war with Great Britain,
and possessed a marvelous propensity to
learn the news, used frequently to make inquiries
of soldiers. On one occassion she
called to one of those defenders of our rights,
whom she had frequently saluted before.
" What's the news?"
"Why, good woman," said he, "the Indians
have fixed a crowbar under Lake Erie,
and are going to turn it over and drown the
world?"
"Oh, mercy, what shall I do?" and away
she ran to tell the neighbors of the danger,
aDd inquire of her minister how such a calamity
might be averted.
"Why," said he, "you need not be alarmed?we
have our Maker's promise that
he will not again destroy the world by wa
ter."
" I know that," returned the old lady hastily,
"but he's nothing to do with it, its those
plaguy Indians."
Flesh is Grass.?Bishop Hughes, in a
sermon to his parishoners, repeated the quotation,
that "All flesh is grass.'? The seasou
was Lent, and a few days afterwards he
encountered Terrence O'Collins, who appeared
to have something on his mind.
"The top of the mornin' to your riverence,"
said Terrence, "did I fairly under
stand your riverence to say, 'All flesh is
grass,' last Sunday ?"
"To be sure you did," replied the bishop,
and you are a heretic if you doubt."
"Oh devil o' bit do I doubt anything your
riverence says," said the wily Terrence;
"but, if your riverence plases, I wish to
know whether in this Lent time I could not
be after having a piece of bafe, by the way j
of a salad ?"
Extraordinary Scientific Experiment}?The
reporter of the Boston Traveler,
while on his way to the Scientific Convention
at Montreal, witnessed an experiment
by one of the learned members of that
body, which he describes thus:
"We had a larcre body ? <sa\\ms' 0*1 the
train; learned mi, wuo, iliough modest,
could not cover the seicntific habit beneath
av.; cl' of small I ;.w o;.e hirge,
rcd-faced, burly gentleman perform an adro" J
experiment at White river junction. He :
I fi'led a tumbler half full of water, and by 1
discharging a pocket pistol into tiie t..me, 1
| changed its color into a brandy hue. After I
: holding the liquid to the light, he deliberate- 1
1) drank it! I understand the experiment is
quite a common one."
"Gum against Thunder."?The Tampa ;
(Fla.) Peninsula, of the 5th, under the head
"Accident," relates that "on Monday, of j
thisweek, while Capt. Parkhil! was returning
to his camp, from this place, the horse his ;
servant (a strapping negro man) was riding, j
took fright and threw the rider. The head j
of the negro in his descent, struck the leg of ,
Capt. Parkhill's horse, breaking it, when it j
(the negro's head) glanced and struck a tree ,
on the side of the road, peeling off the bark ,
for several feet. The negro was stupefied for 1
an instant, but received no injury!
Fair Play.?Patrick went out to shoot
an owl, but returned minus the bird
"Why didn't you shoot him, Pat?"
"Faix, how cud I ? Ivery time I'd go to
slip up behind him, his eyes 'ud follow and
niver a hit cud I git to his back. The snaik
take the baste; I believe his eyes go clean
through his head like glass windys !"

From the Valley Farmer.
ADVICE TO YOUNG FARMERS.
When the farm is located, before a blow j
1 is struck or any labor performed, it should j
i be laid off into fields, of convenient size and i
form, and if possible these fields should be (
separated by good fences. The first work j
on the farm should be done by system, that |
it be not lost, nor badly done. In dividing I
the farm, care should be taken to observe
all the natural divisions, such as high and |
low ground, wet and dry, clay and loatn soils, I
&c., where such exist. If the soil is all alike,
then the division should be for conveA
1 a-tt ipot nionn
UlUUL't; <1 LIU ^uuu uuituiu. ax nvu of
ground, adjoining one high and dry, j
ought to be separated from it, so the two j
can be cultivated according to the require- |
raents of each, so that the stock can be kept
I on one when it is improper that it should go
on the other.
One of the objects of a proper division of
the farm is, convenience. Any field can be
used for pasture or meadow which may be
chosen. Or stock can be kept for any length
of time and then taken out. Any field can
be fed early or late. The fall feed can be
given to the stock or let rot upon the ground.
Stock can be separated, the old from the
youug, horses from cattle, sheep from allA
change of pasture is often desirable. A j
particular field should not be pastured too ,
long. There should be rotation in pastures s
as well as rotation in crops. In broken j
countries, where much of the land can be ?
used only for pasturing, such a rotation can <
not well be practiced; but in much of the ,
West every part of the farm is tillable, and (
a change of pasture becomes one part of good ,
farming. The fields should be arranged so (
as to be convenient to get from the.house (
and barn, as well as from some road. So far <
as possible, it is desirable to have water in ,
every field, and gates or bars to make them ,
easy of ingress or egress. I
The second object on a division of the (
farm is to facilitate tjootlfunnincj. To farm (
with no respect to the principle of rotation ,
of crups, is to farm at random. To plant j
one piece of ground every year to corn; to j
sow another as regularly to wheat; a third (
i.i oars; to use a fourth as meadow; a fifth
to pasture, and so on to the end of the chap- t
icr of crops, is one of the best ways to spoil {
a farm nud have poor crops. So it is one of j
the most successful ways to degrade agricul- ,
*"MA /?nf ottioll nrAfito Tf l'o Vinwf fn
LUIC UUU u OlUUli pi'JUlO. XU ? WVCW vv y
change crops every year. No matter if the |
aoi! will produce the same crop for several ?
year?. You arc weakening its productive ,
qualities. You are exhausting some of its (
elements. You are killiug when you ought ,
to be vitalizing it. If the young farmer will f
begin right he will not only save, but im .
prove his farm ; not only cultivate ir well, ,
but cultivate himself. Good farming re- j
fleets back on the fanner. It does him good. |
It affords a sort of school in which his pow- j
ers ef mind may be trained. It is one of .
the best schools of life, and always has and (
alway will turn out a class of noble uien. j
A third object of the division of a farm, is, s
it* value It increases the value of the farm. ,
It adds to its beauty and utility, makes it (
easier to cultivate and in many ways enhan- \
ces its value. The number of fields should t
be as much as six or eight, besides the garden
and orchard, which should be fenced by
themselves. If all cannot be fenced at once,
let the divisions be properly made and fence
as fast as may be, one or two fields a year t
till the work is completed It is best to be- f
gin well. As Crocket says, "be sure you're f
right then go ahead." c
Glass Milk Pans.?A farmer in Ak- ^
roD.Ohio, has been experimenting with milk
in glass pans. He says : 'I took the milk
of the same cow, milked at the same time j
and divided it equally, putting half in a
glass pan, and half in a tin pan, and placed ^
theru side by side. In the first twenty-four
hours, were two thunder showers; and at the '
end of that time, the milk in the tin pan
was sour: that in the glass pan was sweet j
and good. At the end of twelve hours more
that in the tin pan was thick clabber, and
that in the glass began to tur . From this y
I believe glass pans will preserve milk one- t
third longer than tin pans.' We believe r
farmers are beginning to find this out, as we
have heard of a number who were introducing
glass instead of tin. We have referred y
to tue superiority ot giass over tin ior ciairy j
purposes, several times within the last year t
or two. D
Cure for Bots in Horses.?Drew's
Rural Intelligencer says, an intelligent gentlemen
of our acquaintance, who has for
years been largely concerned in the manage- ,
mcnt of horses, called at the Rural office a .
few weeks ago, to say that he knew by expc- '
rieticc, of a remedy for bots in horses, which P
is sure to expel them from any one of the ^
race afflicted with those dangerous insects.
The medicine is nothing more nor less than
common fish pickle, that from mackerel is ^
perhaps best; uuc common junk bntlle full

INTEMPERANCE.
I saw a lifr!o girl
With half uncovceed form
And wondered why she wandered thu-\
Amid the winter storn ;
Thev said her mother drank
What took her sense away,
And so she let her children go
Hungry and cold all day.
I saw them lead a man
To prison for a crime,
Where solitude and punishment
And toil divide the time:
And as they forced him through the gate,
Unwillingly along,
They told me 'twas Intemperance
That made him d? the wrong.
I saw a woman weep
As if her heart would break?
They said her husband drank too much
Of what be slioul not take.
I saw an unfrequented mound,
Where weeds and brambles wane;
They said no tear had fallen there;
It was a drunkard's grave.
They said these wore not all
The risks that intemperate run,
For there was danger lest the soul
Be evermore undone.
Water is very pure and sweet,
And beautiful to her;
And since it cannot do us harm,
It is the drink for me.

"Will Mr. Frank Hamilton please honoi

"With pleasure," said Frank, fixing his
sye upon the charmer, and holding it there,

"Perhapsyou can't relish wine ?"
"You are mistaken ; I do relish it; but 1

Spirit of the Ayr,
jC&tf John B. Cough lectured iu Cinnnati
a few weeks ago. Here is one of
is anecdotes:
A long, loan, gaunt Yankee entered a
rug store and asked :
T>" you the drugger?'
'Well. I' spose so, I sell drugs.'
AV dl. hav you go' any of this' are scent
:uff as the gals put on their han'chers.'
'0. yes.'
'Wall our Sal's gwiue to be married, she
in me this nincpence and told me to inest
the hull 'mount in scentin' stuff so's
> make her stink sweet, if I could find
>tne to suit, so I've amiud, I'll just smell
>und.'
The Yankee smelt round without being
lited, until the 'drugger' got tired of him,
ad taking down a bottle of hartshorn said :
'I've got a scenting stuff here that '11 suit
au. A single drop on a handehief will
ay for weeks and you can't wash it out,
ut to get the strength of it you must take
good big smell.'
'Is that so mister? Wall just hold on
minnet, till I get my breath, and when I
iy now, you put it to my smeller.'
The hartshoru, of course, knocked the
ankee down as liquor has done many a
an. Do you suppose he got up and smelt
jain as the drunkard does? Not he?
but rolling up his sleeves and doubling his
fists, said:
'You uiade me smell that tarnal everlast-1
. ing stuff mister, now I'll make you smell

[N ORDER TO KEEP DP WITH THE TIMES, which seem to demand the introduction of COOKING
STOVES into general use, the subscriber recently visited the principal Foundries in the
forth, where he made a large selection of the best varieties, suited for this section of country. The
bove cut, "THE WONDER," fully justifies its name; and flS^'THE BELLE OF THE STATES,
n Air Tight Cooking Stove, is not to be surpassed for durability or beauty. They are perfectly made,
irge Ovens and strong drought; the Cnstings are strong and cannot be cracked by heat. I would ask
articular attention to a favorite called
wm as irai,
lany of which have already been sold. It is an Elevated Oven for Baking, of greater capacity than
ny other brought out. It has moveable long centre pieces, to receive a large Boiler, which makes it
complete FARMER'S STOVE.
I have, however, every variety of COOK, PARLOR and OFFICE STOVES, which I will deliver
nd put up without extra charge. It shall be my pride and ambition to excel, not only in the contruction
of Patterns but in the smoothness of Castings, and the manner in which they are mounted,
n connection the Establishment, I have, also,
... .A LARGE TIN-FACTORY,.
inhere every article in the line is kept on hand, or made to order. Particular attention paid to
iOOFING AND GUTTERING.
The public are invited to call at the Show Rooms, in the old "HARRIS BUILDING," where wiil
e found all that is required for HOUSEHOLD PURPOSES, such as JAPAN AND TIN WARE,
ue : ma'&c.,- fccTaii
rhich will be sold, at WHOLESALE AND RETAIL, CHEAPER than has ever been offered in the
outhern Country. Orders solicited, which shall receive prompt attention.
