One Snajiay morning the young

at tbi BiWL?A
capital example of what is often termed
"taking the starch out," happened in a
country hank in New Egland. A pompons,
the jbank,
of d wag, inquired^: ' :
"Is the cashier in T"
"No, sir," was the reply.
"Well, I am dealing in pens, supplying
the New England banxs pretty largely, and
I suppose it w#I be proper for me to deal
wi&t&e cashier."
**l suppose it will," said the teller..
"Very well, I will wait." "The
pen dealer, took a chair and sat ]
composedly for *fhQ hoar, waiting for the ,
cashier. By that time he began to grow ,
uneasy, hot sat twisting in, his chair lor a- '

prospect of change in his circnmstanoos,
asked the teller how soon the cashier would r

"Well. I don't know exactly," said the j
waggish teller, "bat I expect Mm in about
eight weeks. He baa just gone to Lake
Superior, and he told me that he would be
back in that time.'*

Wonders of Advertising.?That ad- j
vertmiog, intelligently carried on, works (
wonders, is an established fact. > We pre- j
sent a few circumstances: ,
A Minnesota editor says that a man came }
into his office to advertise for his lost dog, ,
and that such was the wonderful power of (
advertising, the dog walked into lis office (
while he was writing the advertisement. |
A man in Cincinnati once advertised for <
a wife, and the next day he received letters '
from twenty-seven hnsbsnds, saying be
might have theirs. I
. A London paper has advertised, more ,
than once, "Two sisters want washing." ]
"We hope they may get it," was the dis- j
respectful remark of all who read the no- (
tices- .
A broker, who advertised all kinds of \
stocks for sale, received a letter soon after j
ordering half a gross of satin elastic. I
A Wisconsin editor says that he adver- .
? tised in his paper for a boy, and the next j
morning he found one weighing ten ponnds (
on his door-step.'

19* Not long ago an attorney witn oon- 5
siderable "swell,' bnt not mnch brains,
went to C , in Ohio, to locate. One
day^ when tbe post-office was full, awaiting
the distribution of the mail, a half-witted
fellow stepped up to him in the crowd, and
said:
"Mr. S., I am told you have come here
to practice law."
"Yes, I have."
"Well, you'll find it a first rate location.
I hadn't lived here four months before I
.was sued ten times."
"Well, it seems to me I oonld live here
jFonr years without being sued at all," said
the lawyer.
"I presume you could," returned his
half-witted friend; "people here are pretty
darn'd smart: they don't sue a fellow with.
out he's good for the eosts."
19* A parson, resident of a town in ?
Western New York, was once trying to ^
bore a hole in a large mallet, but found it .
very difficult to hold the mallet firm with 1
his feet. A half-witted fellow, was stand- !
ing by, and he said to the parson, ''What's .
the use of trying to bore it in that way ? I j
should think a man of your learning would
know enough to put it m a hog-trough, and
then you could bore it easily." A hog
trough being at hand the parson put the j
mallet in it and bored it through with little .
trouble. He then looked up and said: ,
"Well, Bill, there is something to be learned,
even from a fool!" Bill retorted in his ?
usual nasal tone. "That's true, Parson S; 1
if there wasn't, no one would go to hear j
you preach."
tSr" An American gentleman having <
seated himself in a London omnibus, saw
and heard what a little amused him. A
man, bearing no peculiar marks of authority,
looked in at the door, took a profession- j
al view of the passengers, and called out to
the driver, without any pretense at modest *
concealment of his thoughts, uYou can't go '
on, there's two of the swell-mob m here." 1
The coach waited, till at length a pussy, (
well-looking old man rose and stepped out,
saying as he did so, "I've too much money 1
to ride with pickpockets." In a moment
more a spruce young person said as he de- 1
camped, "I'll follow that old gentleman's 1
lead." "Go on, now," said the detective 1
. policeman, "The swells have got out, and I
all's right." ]

-An Englishman once fell from his 1

increasing, he was obliged to send for a 1
surgeon. One day the doctor was unable (
to visit his patient, and sent his son instead. <
"Have yott visited the Englishman ?" said
the father, m the evening. "Yes," replied
the young man: "I have drawn out a j
thorn, which I ascertained to be the chief
cause of his agony." "Fool," exclaimed J
the father, "I trusted'you fiad more sense;
now there is an end of the job."

OWKK ASfp TIGHT BABK9* "
A Vermont farmer gives Bis* experience
on tlMmtier.. H^sawtBe boiUift .common
barn in 1840, finishing it with unseasoned
hoards^ pot oh singly, and consequently
the barn had many ventilators, as
the cracks were neither small nor few. He
soon learned that the hay mnst be Well
cored before patting it into the barn, or it
would heat, mould and sometimes spoil in
die centre of the mow, while near the walls
of the bun the hay was bright and good.
He also learned that in leaving the barn
doors open daring the hay season, as many
fanners do, the hay next to the floor, especially
near the door, looked like hay
which had taken the storm and been badly
washed. Another fact he learned from
old farmers, that hay intended for the stack
most be thoroughly cared, even more so
than for the barn. *
This same farmer built another barn in
1850, and made the walls tight as common
doable boarding wonld make them. Now
hear the resnlt. He says: "I have not,
daring the sixteen years I have used this
bam, had a panicle of mouldy or burnt
hay exoept it was wet by storms and pat
in before dry. 1 cart my hay much greener
than formerly. I do hot hesitate to cart
English hay that is sufficiently ripe, as
soon as I can after it is cut, providea there
is no dew or wet apon it when mowed.?
My hay is relished better by the stock than
that which is all dried np. If the grass
is very green, or stout clover, I would
prefer to let it stand in the cart over night
bat think too mach drying injures the
hav."
He has often cat clover and herdsgrass
that yielded more than two tons per acre
in the forenoon and carted to the barn in
the afternoon of the sameday, and itcame
oat nice and bright in the spring. With
the knowledge thus gained from his experience
he comes to the conclusion that the
less the air circulates through the mows,
or the less exposed the hay is to the weather,
the better for the hay, and the less liable
it is to heat. He thinks that by cloa
.1 J
sine all cracks or avenues, trom toe wmas
ana storms, what heat there may be in the
bay is-equally disseminated, through the
entire mass without injury to the hay; but
if the hay be forced from the outside surface
to the centre, the outside hay will be
bright while the centre will be more or less
[mured,?sometimes burnt and mouldy;?

WHEN TO BUY A FARM.
Very few persons seem to know that the
months of July and August are the best in
the year in which to look for or purchase a
farm. At this season one can judge whether
the land can or does produce good crops,
For if it is rich the waving grass and grain
(nil be occular demonstration of the fact;
md if there is, according to the sterotyped
wsertion, "an abundance of choice fruit, it
Mtn be seen at this time to the best advantage.
The low lands will show whether
they are really dry enough for pastures in
Summer, and the upland its capacity for
withstanding a dr9ught.
Summer is also a very good time to view
the never-failing spring and the trout pond
lear by, and a draught from the one and a
unch from the other are attractions which
those who possess them seldom fail to bestow
upon those who are likely to become
purchasers. Even the weeds on a farm
will assist a man in determining its value,
"or if nothing but stunted ragweed and fiveinger
are to be seen, then the land may be
put down as poor indeed; but if burdocks
ind catnip abound, it shows strength to
to produce crops of a high order.
The pasture and meadow, orchard and
garden, all show what they are and what
nay be expected of them in these months;
>ut earlier or later the aspect of things
nay change. In the Spring the trees have
lot shown leaves, flowers or fruit; the roads
ire muddy, if ever, and the distance from
the railroad station to the farm appears
nuch greater than it actually is, especially
to a stranger. In Autumn the leaves are
nminiT vpllnw. the errain has been erather
"I O?# M O
*d, ana the dry stable is all that remains,
md the fruits are nearly gone, stilt the air
s fresh and the landscape glowing with

Two Valuable Recipes.?Editor# Southern
Cultivator:?Allow me to give you two
aecipes that should be printed in letters of
jold, and given to the public:
Recipe for Cholic or Scours in Horses.?
jive a half tumbler of spirits of camphor
n a pint of warm water (cold will do); if
lot relieved in 15 minutes repeat the dose,
jive nothing else. I have never known it
ail in a practice of 20 years. No after
)ad effects.
Hail in the Foot.?To relieve from the
;errible effects of running a nail in the foot
>f man or horse, take peach leaves, bruise
;hem, apply to the wound, confine with
mndage, and the cure is as if by magic.
Henew the application twice a day, if necessary
; but one application usually does the
work. I have cured both man and horse in
i few hours, when they were apparently on
cbe point of having the lock jaw. These
recipes, remembered and practiced, will
save many valuable lives. G. D. '
How to Grow Large Vegetables.?
[t is hard for cultivators in general to save
3eed from their earliest berries or vegetables
; yet a vast increase of food may be
obtained by managing judiciously, and
jystematically carrying out for a time the
principle of saving the earliest and best of
?ach crop.
Take, for instance, a pea, plant it in
rery rich ground; allow it to bear the first
pear say a half a dozen pods only, remove
ill others; save the largest single pea of
these, sow it the next year, and retain of
the produce three pods only; sow the largest
on the following year, and retain a
pod; select the largest again, and next
jrear. The sort will by this time have
trebled its size and weight. Ever afterward
sow the largest seed; and by these
means you will get peas, or anything else,
of a size you could formerly have had no
inception of.
Weevils in Barns.?I have had the
misfortune to be where weevils infested two
barns. You could gather a quart measure
of them in cleaning fifty bushels of wheat.
They may be exterminated by thoroughly
cleansing the barn out, sweeping off the
joists and sprinkling good fresh lime plentifully
all around.

AT A TURNING POINT.
As Thomas Bent was walking along the
street one day, he saw a gentleman drop a
purse upon the walk. Thomas quickly
picked it up, slipped it very slyly into his
pocket, ana walked on, saying to himself,
"I'm a lucky fellow! This purse feels as
if there was a good lot of money in it.
Hurrah for Tom Bent!"
Just then, the boy's conscience woke up"
and whispered, "What are you going.to do
with that purse I It is not yours. If you
keep it, you will be a thief. Bemember the
eighth commandment?'Thou shalt not
steal.'"
Thomas paused a moment to think. Then,
with flashing eyes, he ran after the gentleman,
and handing him the parse, said;' "If
you please, sir, you dropped your purse.
Here it is."
"You are an honest hoy," Said the man,
I as he took the parse, and smiling pleasant
ly, handed him five shillings. rt
Thomas walked home, deling happy indeed,
as he had good reasdn to do. He had
escaped a great danger. When he picked
up that purse he was standing at a point
where two roads met?one was the path of
the thief, the other of the honest man. If
he had kept the purse he would have entered
the first path, and most likely have
landed at last in prison ; by restoring it he
entered the way of honesty and right. So
' yon see, he was at a turning point in his
life, and he turned it safely. Happy Thos.
Bent.
Children, you now see what a.turning
point is. Whenever you are mep by a
strong temptation to do a wrong aot, you
are at a turning point. Let the temptation
conquer you, and you will find your
selves in the wrong .road. Conquer the
temptation, and your feet will stand in
the right way. Look out for turning
points.
ONWARD AND UPWARD!
Like the Roman braggart who sailed
from Ostia to subjugate Britain, and re
turned with no other trophies than a few
shells gathered on its coast, many young
men start in life with a great show of energy
and a professed determination to conquer
fortune, only to make a failure that
contrasts ridiculously with their previous
vaunts. - The world abounds with such
shell-gatherer on the rocky shores that
hedge in Persistent Effort's Dorado. Perseverance
is what they lack. Their energy is
short-winded: They climb a little way, and
finding the ascent rough, fall back hishear
tened. We recommend such weakhanded
men to read the "Pilgrim's Progress," and
lay its noble lessons to heart. It is, in
most cases, as impossible to achieve wordly
success as spiritual salvation without a vig
orous, determined, and prolonged struggle
for it. Buny&n's glorious allegory includes
a useful temporal lesson in its religious one.
"Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it
with thy might," whether it be to acquire
a competence on earth, or to lay up treasures
in heaven. The great fault of the
young men of our day?and it has been the
same in all other days we presume?is a
want of capacity, or rather of inclination, ,
for continuous exertion. They are ener- ,
getic by spurts. When they meet withinexpected
difficulties in one pursuit, they ,
are too apt to abandon it and try another. {
This is impolitic as well as umanly. The
last man to succeed in anything is the waverer.
Christian was a persevering youth^ ,
Neither sloughs, nor wild beasts, nor gi- (
ants, nor fiends could drive him from the {
path he had chosen. He had made up his
mind to reach the City Beautiful, and he
reached it? He did not stop to deliberate (
at Castle Dangerous; he defied Giant Des- ,
pair. Let the pilgrim of worldly indepen- ,
dence make that heaven-scaling youth his
exemplar and guide.
MABR1AGE MAXIMS.
A good wife is the greatest earthly blessing.
A man is what a wife makes him.
It is the mother who moulds the character
and destiny of the child.
Make marriage a matter of moral judg- 1
ment.
Marry intb a family which you have long
known.
Never talk at one another either alone J
or in company. . '
Never both manifest anger at once.
Never speak loud to one another, unless
the house is on fire. 1
Never reflect on a past action, which was (
dnnA with a frood motive and with the best
judgment at the time.
Let each one strive to yield oftenest to '
the wishes of the other. (
Let self-obligation be the daily aim and !
effort of each.
The very nearest-approach to domestic '
felicity on earth is in the mutual cultivation
of an absolute unselfishness. '
Never find fault, unless it is perfectly
certain that a fault has been committed; .
and even then preclude it with a kiss and 1
lovingly. _ _ 1
Never taunt with a past mistake.
Neglect the whole world besides, rather 1

Never allow a request to be repeated. ]
"I forgot" is never an acceptable excuse.
Never make a remark at the expense of

Never part for a day without loving

it may be, that you will not meet again in

Spare Moments and Little Things.? ]
Great men learn very little of what the ;
world admires them for knowing, during *
what is called their "educational course." ,
They are men who are constantly observing
little things and great things passing
around them, and they remember what they
observe. They take advantage, too, of ,
spare moments to pick up information from
any books which happen within reach. This ,
being constantly on the alert wherever yon
may be, constantly exercising the mind and
the memory, is the secret of success in this direction.
Direct and laborious study, if
one has time, is of course essential; but it ,
is the constant accumulation of little things
and small parts of great things which give
the grandest results.

, I, Andrew Detttfr, a citiien of Gaston

that Dr. J. L. Neagle, daring the winter of
1858 and 1859, visited me for the purpose
of borrowing money to the amount of one
hnndred doflars. I demanded security for
a prompt settlement of the note he offered
for itThe said: Neagle. went off and returned
in a few days and gare me his note
for the amount, with the name of E. M.
Farris as security. I accepted the note,
and in the course of about three months
afterwards I mentioned the fact to Mr.
Farris, who denied having any knowledge
of what had been done. Shorty after that
time Neagle called on me and settled the
note..?.

Captain E. M. Farris, a citisen of Gaston

duly stforn, says: That in the month oi
March, 1859, while he was at the house oi
Andrew Detter, also of Gaston County,
North Carolina) for tbe jpurpose of settling
a note held against him by said Detter, a
second note to the amount of ninety-five
or one hundred dollars was'presented, parporting
to hare been given to said Detter
by J. L Neagle, formerly a citizen of Gasten
County, not recently of York, South
Carolina, and Comptroller-General elect oi
the State of South Carolina, with the name
of E. M. Farris as security. Said E. M.
Farris knew nothing of this having been
done, and says that the proceedings were
without his knowledge or authority, and
pronounces it a forgery.... Said Neagle,
when afterwards charged with forgery by
T?orj-ic nlpRfl and reauested
j r- o?7-^> x
that nothing more be said of the occurrence,
promising to settle the note himself without
delay. After this Neagle applied to
Farris for a certificate to the effect that the
matter had been finally settled, which Farris
refused to give. He further states that
the District Solicitor of Gaston County had
the case in- hand, and was only prevented
from prosecuting it on account of the note
having been lifted and placed out of the
way by Neagle. He further says that he
has never signed a note as security for Neagle

Whereas, It appears by the Affidavit of
G. M. Farris, a respectable citizen of Gaston

Resolved, That the said affidavit, with
the accompanying statement of Detter, be

THE POLITICAL CAMPAIGN.
Although the New England States, with
the single exception of Connecticut, have
for the last ten years uniformly given majorities
for the Republican ticket, the Presidential
campaign in the East has opened
with considerable vigor.
Maine.?In the State of Maine the issue
is fairly divided on the Gubernatorial ticket.
The Democrats are so hopelessly in
the minority in the Congressional Districts
that little or no contest will be made by
them there, with the exception, possibly, of
the Portland District, which they carried
in 1864, electing Hon. L. D. M. Sweat,
but which the Jtepublicans retrieved in
1866 by 8958 majority. Nominations have
thus far been made but in three of the
Maine Districts for Congress. The State
election is held the first week in September,
and both parties are straining every nerve
to win the day. The Democrats are not
very confident of electing their candidate,
but are working to reduce the Republican
majority. In the Presidential election of
1864 Mr. Lincoln's majority was 24,504,
and in the preceeding September the Republican
vote for Governor was but a trifle
less. In SOptemhferi 1867, it was reduced
to 11,614. .The Republicans, however, are
making a most thorough canvass this month
to bring their majority to the old standard.
New Hampshire.?In Hew Hampshire
no election precedes the Presidential one in
: November, but both parties are already in
the field, and ratification meetings have
been held in Concord, Portsmouth and
[ Manchester. The nominations for the 41st
; Congress do not take place until next winter.
In the Presidential campaign of 1860,
Mr. Lincoln's majority in this State was
9115; in 1864 it was 8651; in 1865 the
Republican majority for Gogernor was
6127; in 1866 it was 4656; in 1867 it was
8147, and in March, 1868, 2517. The
' majorities show considerable change in 8
years, increasing one year and decreasing
the next.
Vermont.?A State election is held in
Vermont in September, and the Republicans
will undoubtedly carry the State. In
1867 the Republican majority was 20,162,
" and in 1864 the State gave Mr. Lincoln
i 29,098. The - intermediate years do not
i show much change, and the record of figures
is of but little use in a State which
has voted but one way for twenty years.
Massachusetts.?No election is held in
1 Massachusetts before November, and not a
single Congressional nomination has been
made. The present members of the Fori
tieth Congress will all be renominated for
the Forty-first, unless General Twitchell
i declines to run again in the Third District.
; Although his majority in 1866 was 8488,
i the Democrats prior to that year came very
near carrying the District several times,
and, it is understood, intend to make a
spirited contest over it this falL The largest
majority in any district in the State is:
S'ven to Hon. W. B. Washburne in the
inth, who last year reoeived 10,127, and
i the smallest to General Twitchell, of the
; Third, which, as stated, was 3488. In the
' Fifth District an effort is to be made by
' some parties to defeat Genereral Butler.
General Schouler, at present a member of
the Legislature, and a Conservative Re,
publican in politics, is to be run as an ini
dependent candidate for Congress, while
the Democrats will put up Mr. Northend,
of Salem, or Mr. Spofford, of Newburyport,
in the hope of giving General Schouler
a plurality. In 1866 General Butler's
' majority was 6183. In the State election
last fall Governor Bullock had, over John
Quincy Adams, 27,946; bat in the previ?

Ia 1864 Mr. Lincoln had over
McClellan- 77,977. The Democrats are
about to opeer The campaign with a mass
meeting at Fanueil Hall.
Rhode Island and Connecticut.?In
Rhode Island the campaign will prove to
be a spiritless affair. The Republican majority
is so large that the Democrats do not
make much of a fight to reduce it. But in
Connecticut the reverse is the case. No
State in the Union will witness a more
hotly contested campaign. The Democrats
have already the control of a portion of the
State government, while the New York
ticket is more acceptable to the Connecticut
Democracy than, perhaps, to any other
section. Each party has the State thoroughly
organized, and each is confident of
a final triumph in November. In 1864
Mr. Lincoln'8 majority was 2406. In 1865

of the onaeen trials you bequeath those you
leave behind, by neglecting thiaotcsp protection
which we now urge upon you f If your mind
were easy on thia subject; if you oould feel when

only can do that) yet it will soothe your heaving
bosom to know yon have provided for your

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 examinee the merits of this business, as her
shivering groqp stand around bar scanty Axe and
cry for bread: "Oh! that my husband had Insured
