The far-famed Robert Heller, who iB now delighting crowds by his weird performances, cannot be satisfied with his legitimate triumphs before an audience, bat occasionally does a neat thing for his own amusement, very much to the surprise of those who happen to be present. On Saturday last, while passing an itinerant vender of cheap provisions, Mr. Heller sndenly paused ana enquired: "How do you sell eggs, auntie ?" "Dem eggs," was the response; "dey am a picayune apiece?fresh, too, de last one of 'em; biled 'em myself, and knows dey's fust rate." "Well, I'll try 'em," said the magician, as he laid down a bit of fractional currency. "Have you pepper and salt ?" "Yes, sir, dere dey is," said the sable , saleswoman, watching her customer with intense interest. Leisurely drawing ouc a neat little penknife, Mr. Heller proceeded very quietly to cut the egg exactly in half, when suddenly a bright new twenty-five cent piece was dis- ' ? 1?I?L/v/1 A ttaI lr O T\T\QT_ 1 cuvereu ijuig uuucucu m tU? _jvm, ently as bright as when it came from the 1 nmit. Y?ry cooly the great magician transferred the coin to his vest pocket, and taking up another egg, inquired : 1 "And how much do you ask for this egg ?" i "De Lord bress my soul! Dat egg ? De ' feet am, boss, dis egg is worth a dime, ' jihuah." 3 "All right, was the response; here's the dime. Now give me the egg." .. Separating it with an exact precision that J the colored lady watched eagerly, a quar- : ter eagle was most carefully picked out of the centre of the egg, and placed in the vest ] pocket of the operator as before. The old 1 woman was thunderstruck, as well she might have been, and her customer had to ask her 1 * the price for the third egg two or three times before be could obtain a reply. * "Bar's no use talkin,' mars'r," said the ' bewildered old darkey, "I can't let you 1 hab dat ear egg, nowhow, for less dan a 1 quarter. I declare to the Lord I can't." 1 "Very good," said Heller, whose imper- ' * turbable features were as solemn as an un- " dertaker, "there is your quarter and here is the egg. All right." As he opened the last egg, a brace of,five- , dollar gold pieces were discovered snugly i deposited in the very heart of the yolk, and , jingling them merrily together in his little \ palm, the savant cooly remarked: "Very good eggs, indeed. I rather like ,< them; and whileT am about it, I belies I t will buy a dozen. What is the price?" "I say price!" screamed the amazed 1 daughter of Ham. "You couldn't buy dem 1 eggs, mars'r, for all de money you's got. No! dat you couldn't. I'se gwine to take 1 dem eggs all home, I is; and dat money in ; * * dem eggs all b'longs to me. It does dat. 1 Couldn't sell no more ob dem eggs, nohow." j Amid the roar of the spectators, the be- j nighted African started to her domicil to i "smash dem eggs," but with what success we are unable to relate. ; Cincinnati Commercial. i A JURY OF ONE MAN. j Joe H is one of the characters of Layfayette township. Recently he was sum- < moned to act as a juryman in a case being j tried before a magistrate. He proposed to the parties to the suit that they allow him i alone to act as the iurv and decide the case. 1 ?? t/? They agreed, the evidence was heard and 1 Joe retired to make up his verdict. He i soon procured a bottle of whiskey, some crackers, a box of sardines, and a can of j cove oysters from the defendant in the suit. ] He helped himself to as much as ho wanted of the provisions and liquor, and quietly ( laid down in the room in which he was lock- f ed and took a nap. He awoke toward even- i ing, and reported that the "jury have not ? agreed upon a verdict," and sent the constable after the plaintiff, demanded more oysters, crackers, sardines and whiskey. With these he spent the night; and had a J good supply over for breakfast. He was again interrogated as to his verdict, and a- ? gain answered, "the jury have not agreed." ( Towards noon, getting very thirsty, and unable to get supplies, Joe called in the con- j stable, nad himself conducted before the ' 'squire, and reported that it was impossible for the jury to agree, and was discharged. ' He says that where the eating and drinking is as good as in this case, he don't mind ' sitting on a jury.?New Albany Ledger. j jgAs an original expression of heavy ! grief, we doubt if anything more touching ^ has been read than the following, of a crush- 1 ed heart in Star City, Nevada. Mrs. , 1 of that place, an eccentric old lady, recent- ; ly rushed into the room of a relative, and 1 without waiting for the usual salutations, ^ said: "Well, John's dead!" (Her husband.) "Dead! Is it possible ?" "Yes; dead! Died last night! Want you all to come to the funeral. The Masons and Odd Fellows are going to turn out, and we shall.have a beautiful time." Deaths being of rare occurrence in the settlement, of course everybody went to the funeral. Next day somebody remarked to the old lady that there was a large turnout. "Yes, indeed there was," she replied, "but I didn't enjoy myself as I have at funerals, the horses cut up so." "Dad's Dyin'."?As a remarkable in stance of filial affection and juvenile philosophy, we present the following: On Tuesday, a lad twelve or thirteen years of age visited Caledonia for a doctor. He found Riddle at home taking his siesta, and woke him up with: "Doctor, I want you to come and see dad?he's dyin'." "Well," says the doctor, "if he's dyin' I can't do him no good." "That's so," rejoined the boy; "he'll be dead in less than an hour," and turning on his heel added: "Well, by jing, we've all got to die sometime or other, and dad might as well die now as any time." Strong Argument.?No cat has two tails. Granted. Then a cat has one tail more than no cat. True. Well, then, we have proved that a cat has three tails. The above reminds us of the smart boy who on his return from college, attempted to prove that two were equal to three. Point- ; ing to a roasted chicken on the table he said: "Is not that one ? And then pointing to another: "Is not that two ? And do not one and two make three f" Whereupon his oldDadsaid: "Wife, you take one and I'll take the other, and our smart hoy can have the third for his dinner." gat tit* ?torae (Sitde. VALVE OF THE BIBLE. Two little boys called one day at a hous< that was kept as a home for poor orphai children, and asked for a night's lodging The manager of the house questioned them and found that these little wanderers ha< come from a large city, where their parent! had both died of fever, and these orphai boys were on their way to a town at som< distance in search of an uncle who livec there, thinking he would pity them in theii loneliness, and give them a home. Tirec and faint, they reached this place on theii way, each carrying a bundle, which con tamed all tlieir worldly possessions. In one of the bundles was found a neat ly covered Bible. The housekeeper saic to the little boy: "You have neither money nor food; wil you sell me your bible ?" "No," said the boy, "I'll starve first." <cWhy do you love the Bible so much ?' "Because it is my best friend." "What has it done for you ?" "When I w&s seven years old I went tc Sabbath school in L . There I learnec to read and love the Bible. It told me al! about the dear Saviour,' and how he blessec little children. I cannot part with it." To try him still further, money was offered him for his Bible. "No," said he, "I can't sell it?it is m} greatest comfort. When I am hungry and tired, and don't know what to do, I si! down by the roadside and read some verses in it, and I feel better, for I am sure God will take care of us as he has promised." He was then asked what he would do ii his uncle, when they found him, should refuse to take them. ?Mtt "RiKla cava "When mv father and ***J J ?! 7 mother forsake me then the Lord will take me up.'" What a beautiful instance of faith and trust in God! Comfortable quarters were assigned to the orphan boys for the night, with plenty >f refreshments, and the next day they were sent on to their relatives whom they (vere searching for, and there they found a ready welcome and a pleasant home. Hovi many Sabbath school children love theii Bibles as this little boy did ? A JUVENILE "SHOW." Last summer, a little boy only five years aid, invited me into the summer-house tc 3ee his "show." I paid a penny at the ioor, and gravely seated myself on a bench to wait for the performance to begin. There was a piece of twine stretched across the mmmer-house, and Master Harry took his seat beside it, saying: "These are my tamed grasshoppers in ;his box, and I've teached 'em to walk a ;ight-rope; now you'll see." He took a great brown grasshopper from the box, placed him on the string, and to my istonishment he crawled slowly along it to the other side, and made no attempt to jump off. At last, I solved the mystery, md found that his legs had been removed, 30 of course he could ao nothing but crawl. "Why, Harry," I exclaimed, "how could pou be so cruel?" "I didn't hurt it a bit, auntie," was his consent reply; "these great things were just n the way, and he couldn't walk likcfolks." "But it did hurt him, Harry," I explained ; "his legs were a part of his body, just is much as your legsare.a part of you." "Wasn't a speck of juice in 'em, anyway," persisted Harry, looking rather so aerly at his tame grasshopper, ''and I thought if it hurt him, he'd said something ibout it.", "A great many little insects have no power to cry when they are in pain, but feel pain, just the same as others." "Oh," said Harry, "he's deaf and dumb, lin't he ? "Well, I won't tame any more grasshoppers; but these two are spoilt al eady, and I guess we'll go on with the show." EVERY ONE HIS OWN WAY. What, no farther?" said the minuteland to the hour-hand of the time-piece. 'Why, I have been all around the dial since we parted; and there are you, just )ne figure from the place where I left you." "And yet I have done as much work ir he time as you have," answered the hourhand. "How do you make that out," said the 3ther, as he advanced to pass him. "So," was the reply. "Your journej all around, and mine from figure to figure, are each an hour's value; all are not ablt to arrive at the same conclusions .with the same ease and readiness. But this is nc fault on either side ; only they who fancj that because they are always in a bustle, they are doing the work of the whole world, are mistaken, and plume themselves on ar importance and superiority by no means belonging to them. If you were to creep like me, the day would last nobody knows how long; and if I were to gallop like you, it would be over before it had begun. Lei us each keep our own place, and then th< business we are both upon will be weli done between us." "All right," said the minute-hand in th( distance; "I'm nearly out of hearing, 8( keep anything more you have to say till ] pass you again." A sensible bit of talk, I think, proving that the hands were handy at an argument Be Your Own Helper.?People wh( have been bolstered up and reveled all theii lives, are seldom good for anything in i crisis. When misfortune comes they loo! around for something to cling to or leai upon. If the prop is not there, down the] g?Once down, they are as helpless as cap sised turtles, or unhorsed men in armor and cannot find their feet again without as sistance.

It is unwise to deprive young men of th< advantages which result from their owr energetic action by "boosting" them ovei obstacles which they ought to surmoun alone. A father of three sons and five daugh ters was asked how many children he had The answer was, "I have three sons ant they each have five sisters." "Mercy!' replied the interrogator, "what a family y< maun have." jUjtwnltol ?tpaftowtti WHEAT CULTURE. 9 The agriculturist is more unreasonab 1 in his expectations of "gathering where 1 . hath tot strewn" than almost any oth< , man. He regards the soil as a produc* 1 only, and seems to forget entirely that it 3 also a consumer. The dairyman does n< i expect his cows to yield milk without foot i the merchant does not expect a profit moi 1 than in proportion to the capital investei r But the farmer relying upon the generoi 1 earth, expects her to yield her mcreat r year after year without bestowing a dolh upon the food, without which she must ni cessarily become exhausted. "But," saj the farmer, "I invested in land as the mei 1 A ^ *** Inn/1 aliAnl [ cnant invests in yuuuus, ouu mj muu duvu yield me an annual profit, without farth( I investment." No, my friend, you invested in land, ? the merchant invested in a store-house, an ' as he fills his store-house, as fast as his su] plies are exhausted, so should you suppl to your lands ingredients which form cropi > as fast as they are consumed by the grov I ing grain, cotton or tobacco. If the cust< I mers of the merchant fail to find his shelve I replenished, and call for this article an that article without finding it, they desei - him for some better establishment. So tJo orops of the farmer, if their demand fc r this and that ingredient in his soil is n( I supplied, fail to grow, and both merchai ; and farmer fail in businass. i Your land, in its present state will yiele I say six bushels of wheat per acre ($12 pe acre)?and if by spending $10 per acre i F fertilize it, you can raise sixteen bushel ner acre, you will thereby have a gain < $20 per acre, with no additional labor ei [ cept that of applying the fertilizer to t! i land.. The merchant thinks he is doing good business if he realizes twenty per cen i But here is a gain of a hundred per cen And this is far from being a mere theory. I i England it is the constant, annual practice farming there is a fast money making bus I1C8B. Wheat is the most important crop to mai i In this country, the usual practice is to-so' r it broadcast, allow the weeds and bushes t rob it of half of its nourishment; give it n attention until it is ready to cut, then e3 claim with lugubrious countenances "m wheat is a failure !" r In England, every farmer considers hin ' self unacquainted with his business until b ! finds out what fertilizers his soil require! 1 and when k this knowledge is acquired, h: ! way is clear. "Every shilling I spend i ! that much gain" and he applies lime, guanc 1 gypsum or the phosphates with 110 niggar hand. When his land is ready, he does n( 1 sow the precious seed?some thick?som ' thin?some too deeply covered and som not covered at all. A well made drill pul 1 each grain in its proper depth, and coi ers all securely. When the green dar 1 rows appear, no weeds are allowed to ri 1 tard their rapid, growth, they are hoed a least twice, and at harvest, the hale an rosy English farmers, in spite of having t pay $10 per month for laborers, and wht would appear to be fabulous rents, smil and say, "Farming is a most profitable bi ' siness, if well followed." And this difference is simply owing t to English energy, English thrift and En^ lish science. We will now consider in detail their met! od of culture?manuring, drilling, weedin and hoeing. 1st. Applying fertilizers. "The mor money you put into your soil the more yo i get out ol it" is an .ttngiisnman 8 aaag and a golden one. But this money mus be put in with some sense and judgmenl The merchant who fills his store house wit goods not suited to the market, proves hin self unacquainted with his business, and th 1 goods are left upon his hands, a dead lost ' You would then think him a very foolis 1 person to conclude therefore that merchar dizing did not pay, and give up the bus ness. You would say rather "profit by you , experience, study the wants of your.custc mers, and then see if it will not pay." So we say to the farmer, ascertain whs . your soil requires?if you make a mistaki 1 profit by your experience?study your soi [ study your business. What would I your thought of a manufacturer who undei stood nothing about his machinery?yc , would.think his machinery might play tb wild him. It is the business of the farme r to understand the character and requiri ments of his soil, and as soon as this know I edge is acquired, to act upon it with a wil , Baugh's Rawbone Phosphate can be pr< [ cured at less than $50 per ton, if taken i r quantities of ten tons and over. You are probably going to sow one hui ' dred acres in wheat. As yonr land ma; [ in its present state, yield six bushels p< . acre, we will consider your crop worth $1 , 200. If by applying a quarter of a ton < , Phosphate per acre, you can bring yoi field to yield sixteen bushels per acre, yc [ will for an outlay of $1250, make $2000. , You consider $1250 a heavy outlay f( I manures. Your merchant friend would n< consider it a heavy outlay for goods hot > ever; and you may expect, with as muc - J j certainty, at least, as ne aoes, a prontau [ return. Even if our farmers had to pa such rents as they do in England, th would not be a loosing business. Drilling instead of broadcast sowing. . drilling machine costs about $60. By usir it, a half bushel of seed is saved to the acr In a hundred acres, you therefore safe $1( in seed alone. Two horses drill about se en acres a day, and here is an importai gain, for the drill does the whole work < sowing and covering. But the most impor tant gain is the increased product of tl grain. The farmers of Yates County, N. Y says that on an average the drilled whei yields 40 per cent, more than the broadcas (Country Gentleman, vol. 9, No. 15.) Th great difference however, is not so perc] tible, in the spring grown grain. The grei . advantage of placing grain at the prop< i depth, and distance apart is snown uy u r following experiment. "Last season planted five oat seeds about four or fii i inches apart, and one inch deep, in goc 3 soil. Without further attention, they yiel< . cd sixty seven stalks, averaging from eighl to one hundred oats to each head?beir j over ten hundredfold, instead of only fro ! thirty to forty fold, the ordinary yield. r know of no reason why a whole field won' t not produce at the same rate if planted i properly." To give some idea of the English moc - of farming, we will state that Mr. Jot . Hudson, of Castle Acre, (an estate of aboi 1 twelve hundred acres,) pays out $5000 ai ' nually for artificial manures?$10,000 ai 2 nually for cattle food to make still bett< I manures;?and he pays $15,000 annuall . to his laborers, making an annnal expendi ' ture of $30,000, or about $25 per acre rr When our Southern farmers learn to fan it in this lordly style they may expect Mi le Hudsod's lordly returns. ie Every hundred acres should have $250' 5r judiciously spent upon it, and this $250' *r is not judiciously spent, if it does yield yoi i? at least 25 per cent There is no reason why farming shouli not be the most profitable, safest, the mos :e independent, ana the most agreeable busi ^ ness in the world " Uortvilfc inquirer. r"~ TERMB-IN ADVANCE t SPECIE.

The solvency of the Company is certified, to by the Court Officers of Nelson county, Virginia, and is commended to those who desire to rapport a "Home Institution. J. A. McLEAN, At the store of J. <fe E. B. Stowe. THE OBJECT Of this Company is to Insure life?not indeed to prolong life?but by payings certain sum to the beneficiaries of a policy when you die?thereby to continue the exertions, investments and benefits Df your life to your dependents, after your life is terminated. However well prepared a man may be in aspirtual point of view to meet the "king of terrors," if he be possessed of a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart, he can but look with sad fbrebodifigs to that finale of his earthly career which is to deprive bis fond wife and helpless children of that support ind fostering care which his arm has furnished. Be shudders as his mental gaze looks within the rloomy portals of the grave and leaves behind hose whom he loved, as vagrants roaming tho 'riendle88, thorny paths of public charity! Yet, ilas! how many do it I! when a small present outlay would gild their troublous road with ease and lomfort, if spent in a Life Insurance Policy.. Healer, are yon not liable to this sad death-bed reflec;ion of the unseen trials you bequeath those you oave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection vhich we now urge upon you? If your mind vere easy on this subject; ir you could feel when jrou "shuffle off this mortal coll" your family vere provided for. you would be relieved of the rarking anxiety that fills every worthy mind at inch fears: you would be better prepared to puriue your avocation with mental composure and seal. We do not moan to assert that money can fill he place of a fond father, yet we do assert, what 1011 know to be true?money will prove their beet '.arthly friend when you are gone; and you can eave them this certain friend now while you are ivlng. Can you?will you reftise it? Business men are considered rather improvident who do not insure their goods and houses against ire.- Now, your house may newer be burned?it nay stand a hundred years; but your life cannot ant so loner?vour "Iamn of life" must burn out tome day. You argue it Is prudent to insure against uncertain misfortunes to your propertyt and yet neglect a certain event which will ana must iome to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and prudence ? We admit and assert the prudence of die first, but assert the greater wisdom and necesrity for the last. Ask yourself the question, are you doing right to neglect this opportunity to provide effectually for your family in case of your ieatb, while you have it in your power? And bear in mind?now, this moment may bo your last chance?death is after you! When once his "rugged scythe shall clip the brittle thread of life," the ghastly panorama of want and suffering will be opened to the sighing hearts you took care of while you lived. Remember! only while in health?before age, with attendant diseases come upon you? before you begin to loiter in sad sickness on the verge of the grave?only while living?mentally ind physically living?can you obtain a Life Insurance Policy. Life is a vast battle-field?death is ilways the final victor?and while we do not urge this process will disarm him of his sting, (for religion only can do that) yet it will soothe your heaving bosom to know you have provided for your family before that trying hour oomea. By having your life insured you "disarm the sting" of poverty and want to them. We imagine now we hear the wail of suffering from some lone widow, while she examines the merits of this business, as her shivering group stand around her scanty fire and cry for bread: "Oh! that my husband bad insured his life ! If ho could have foreseen my lamentable state he would have done bo. He was kind and good to all, and supposed that all would be kind and good to us; but alas, how mistaken! He provided well for us while living; but if he had insured his life, its benefits would have continued to us now." Do not say this is a fancy sketch, for many such a scene has really existed. ^3, JOHN R. ALLEN is the Agent of the ftbovo Company at Chester. October 10 24 tf i ? ' C. E.
