DEAF AS A POST. A western paper tells a capital story of a ! deaf gentleman's mistake. It seems that in . the profession that followed good Deacon j * ' Jones td v&e crave, last summer, the Rever-! end Mr. Samper, the new clergyman of East r' Town, found himself in the same carriage .r. t with on elderly man whom he had never be* fore met They rode in grave silenoe for a few momenta, when the clergyman endeavored to improve the occasion by serious conversation. "This is a solemn duty in which we are engaged, ray friend," he said. "Hey! what do you say, sir?" the old man returned. "Can't you speak louder? I'm hard of heariB*." . .V- "I was remarking," shouted the clergyman, "that this is a solemqroad we are traveling 'to-day." '";J "Sandy road! You don't call this 'ere '"i^t ^^y, ye ^tress yo** ain't been down 10 H the south deestric. Ther's a stretch of road on the old pike that beats all I ever see for P B tmvelin'.

BLOW THAT HORN. .-P-Tpn rm apff * transportation were not so good.then as now, he purchased a horse, and, hke King Richard is said to have done, "went it on horseback." Just as the shades of evening were closing upon what had heen to him a long and tiresome day, he. emerged from the woods and fouud himself ofc the banks of a river. iL.A. - Qa tho ojhe^de he saw what looked like j an imi, and reclining lazily in the end of his boat he discovered-the ferryman. "Hallo! I-want "to get over," the traveler 'f shouted. ? v f "Then blow the horn," carelessly replied \ he of the ferryboat. r- Now, being "city bred," our friend had never seen a norn, much less blowed one?in fact, he was never known to even "take a horn." "I want to get over," he shouted again. "Then blow the horn," roared the ferryman. The traveler cast his eyes about him, and discovered the horn hanging to the limb of a neighboring tree, but feeling his utter iuabilify to blow it, said: "You can hear me well enough ; come set r me over." "Blow the horn, I tell you," was the reply of the obstinate countryman. "I can't blow the horn," shouted the collector. ^ - "Then stay where you are," said the disgusted proprietor of the flat, "if you're such a denied fool that you can't blow a horn, it caaH make much difference which side of the ..^iver you'ar on."

She took the babe to church the other day to have him baptized. While she waited in the vestibule, she thought she would keep him quiet by feeding him from a bottle of milk. While the child was still taking his nourishment, the mother was summoned to the church by the announcement that the minister was ready. In her agitation she drew the bottle from the child's inouth hurriedly, when the gum nozzle came off and a part of the milk was spilled on the ^child's new clothes. When the clergyman ^ icfrtejhe child in his arms he looked down j t - 'upctkit and asked the mother what name ; 'j&oulu be given it She, with her mind ; l^^ffipubled with the accident, thought he was ! ?king how the clothes became soiled, so she . answered: "Nmfide-eame off." surprised, he asked again for the Hnftiame, and she, thinking he did not under^^BTstand her, bawled out: "Nozzle came off I say." ^ Whereupon the astonished divine poured r' water on the child's head saying: "Nozzle-came-off Ferguson, I baptize thee," etc., etc. What this woman wants to know is, whether the legislature, or something, can't have that childV name changed to Henry, or Lucullus, or William, or some other euphonious appellation.

CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. ! I / [Original.1 , THE BURRING OF CHICAGO. Instinctively the mind couples great calam ities and great sins together.

( It U demonstrated in' the providence of God. .j The wages of sin is death.

What^had David done that sttbjecteff^m^to the indignation or saui i and the sufferingi^ilting from it ? From the burning mt^cago, we may learn many practical lemons. Ihxtfae midst ofour greatest prosperity, we are on the very verge of ruin. We are ever, whilst in thV world, liable to great and sudden transitions. We may go to bed surrounded by all the comforts of life, and wake up in the morning dispirited beggars. The man who puts his confidence in what he has, or what be is, will one day discover to his utter dismay, that he is nothing but dust, and that he has nothing that does not perish with the using. They that trust in princes are often disappointed, and when they most need help are cast off in disgrace. So thought Cardinal Woolsey. It is vain to trust in riches. A spark may kindle a flame that will convert millions into smoke and ashes. It is vain to trust in power or position. The blood of Julius Caesar flowed , around the pedestal of the statue of Pompey. Xerxes, who crossed the Hellespont, with an army of tmww^tban one million of men, re-, crossed it in flight in the erman. The only thing that we can safely" trust, is the love of God in Christ Jesus. 'God in Christ Jeans is a sure portion. Nothing can take it from us. "Neither death nor life, nor all the principalities and powers of angels, nor things present, nor things to come, paiHsw^bove, .or Mow, separate us from the love of God which is m* Christ Jesus, our Lord." I. ... . - V V* ' lOrlglnifcVs^ GOD'S WAYS. Some one has said that God acts according to a plan at sometimes; at other?, without any plan; and at other tiroes again, Contrary to all plans. We do not know who is the author of this sentiment. A little reflection will show j any one that it is a jumbling of truth and er| ror. God is a God of infinite wisdom, and never acts without some design. Nothing I takes places, it matters not how insignificant, 1 or how great, but is contemplated either as ' an end or as a means to some end, by the AlI mighty. That God ever acts contrary to his i own plans, is inconsistent with the perfections ! of his nature. If it is meant that God often | acts contrary to all the plans of man, this is true. Nothing is more easily proven. It is not only foolish, but also wicked, to say that God%cts contrary to his own plans. There are many things about the ways in ' which God executes his plans, which are in1 teresting to us all. There is something interesting about the mystery which is connected with them all. Sometimes the most feeble instrumentalities are chosen to accomplish the greatest ends, and often the very reverse is true Naaman was healed of what was rei garded an incurable disease by simply washi ing seven times in the river Jordan. The Sy; rian army was once put to flight by imagining i that they heard chariots and horsemen com; ing upon them. Home, it is said, was once j saved by the cackling of geese. A little boy | took a lamp into a stable in order that he might see while he milked a cow. The cow kicked the lamp over and a great commercial city was laid in ruins by a fire thus kindled. The means in these cases were small; but the results great. If a body of men had met to consult how any of the results specified in the cases mentioned could be effected, means very i different would have been chosen. Another interesting feature in the ways of God is, that we are nearly always mistaken :i as to what will be the results. Things never ru out iu every particular as we expect. David thought he would one day fell by the hand of Saul, and Saul, no doubt, thought he ( would gome time or other capture.Xto.yid and 1 put him to death. David wag deceived and Saul was disappointed. Darkness surrounds all the ways of God. "Thiugs are not what they seem," is most true., Gloom is often the precursor of light, and light frequently goes : before darkness. "What we regard as the ; harbinger of evil, is often but a herald of joy, | and what we think the forerunner of bliss, is I many times but the beginning of woe. What i we call little things often terminate in the 1 greatest events; and what we call great things sometimes do not amount to much in the end. All this is not strange. Blind men cannot . see ; neither can deaf men hear. Like always produces like. The Bame cause will always produce the same' result. The great 1 ; misfortune in our case, is that we are both j blind and deaf, atnLjt is no wonder we are so often deceived and dhappointed. The only key that unlocks the waysNif God, is the word of God. Take the Bible from us and all is ! conjecture. The infidel says, and. thinks too,! i that the ways of God are hard. The child of j God looks at every thing through the light of' i divine revelation, and says it was good for I me that I was afflicted. The infidel exolaims , in anguish of heart, on account of bereave; ment, "hard fatethe child of God says, "the Lord gave and Lord hath taken away, blessfid be the name of the Lord." !

IpttdlXKMM Attidcs, : A PERILOUS TRADE. Those who have never visited the regions where wild horses are caught or reared, have but little idea how the untamed steed of the prairies is rendered tractable and useful. At the present day in Texas the hordes of mustangs that formerly ranged over its vast prai- j ri?3 have become almost extinct in the settled s- NkyN*e, and confine themselves to the exV. jrestern countries.

He is either tied up closely all night or staked, at the will of the owner. The next morning the sport begins. [ , , All horse and stock raisers have one or more vaqueros, whonrthey employ for the special purpose of breaking and riding wild and refractory horses. These go out, followed by the fnembers of the family, and proceed to Jverfihtili&eir saddles and see that there is no defect tothS "togging." When they are satisfied that -all <is secure, they lead or rather drag, ibtwaird the steed. He la alternately led, dragged/*nd whipped forward, until he reaches the pefitit where ne is to be saddled. A leather iteap attached to the bosal is theu pulled qjjwgjft eyes, arid a saddle blanket is dropped genily on hj? hack, but very seldom remains at the first trial, as he will almost invaluably, shake it cfe After one or more trials, however, he submits to both blanket and saddle. The latter article is strapped on tightly with two girths, fore and flank; strapped, indeed so tightly that a person, who is unaccustomed to the sight would think that it was intended to cut the animal in two; the rider now adjusts the stake-rope into reins by tying it securely to the bosal, leaving a long endtif whioh to hold on, in the event the horsehhould succeed in throwing him. Everything is now ready for the mount The ridec. adorns his heels with a huge pair of spurs, stands directly facing the horse, or little forward of the shoulder, seizes the under ?art of the bosal with his left hand, pulls the orse's head around near him to prevent being kicked, ta^kes the stirrup in his right hand and turning it toward him places his left foot in it firmly. Grasping the pommel, he now gives the saddle a shake or two, makes one or two feints at mounting to see how his horseship will take it, and then suddenly springs, seating himself securely in the saddle. The blinds, of course, are still over the eyes of the horse, and as a general thing he stands with his neck stretched out, head partially down, a perfeot picture of awkwardness. The rider is at his easej, and adjusts himself and -^Mqdjiing about him with the greatest care, as he knowmRw^-ia^grarra work before him. When ready for the Btan w riches gently forward and slips iy> the blinds. the horse is rather astonished at first, and refuses to move.

Fortunately they soon tire of such violent exercise, being wholly unaccustomed to a saddle or weight on their backs, and break down completely in a few hours. The saddles are then taken off, and they are reserved for another trial next morning. theI-eachinTof animals. Long years before the American Rarey's name was heard as a horse tamer, a secret existed as a family heirloom, among a set of the O'Sullivans, in the south of Ireland. This family was known as "The Whisperers," and they possessed the power of rendering as quiet as a lamb the most stubborn and unmanageable horse that ever existed. Whether they did anything more to the horse than to breathe into his nostrils, we know not; but by doing this and by kind soothing, and other ways known to themselves, they effected their purpose and retained their fame. Putting the question of drugs or stimulants, or other fascinating means aside, and coming to a point of pure and unadulterated domestication and teaching, perhaps there was no one person in modern times who achieved so much success in animal teaching as S. Bisset. This man was an humble shoemaker. He was born in Scotland, in 1721, but he afterwards removed to London, where he married a woman who brought him some property; then turning a broker, he accumulated money until the year 1759, when his attention was turned to the training and teaching of animals, birds and fishes. He was led to this new study on reading an account of a remarkable horse show at a fair at St. Germains. Bisset bought a horse and dog, and succeeded beyond his expectations in teaching them to perform various feats. He next purchased two raoukeys, which he taught to dance and tumble on a rope, and one would hold a candle in one paw, and turn a barrel organ with the othpr^whfrg~Trt*~~H^p?ninn danced. He next taught three cats to do wonderful things, to sit before music books, aqd to sauall notes pitched in different keys, He advertised a "Cat's Opera" in the Haymarket, and successfully carried out his programme, the cats accurately fulfilling all their parts. He pocketed some thousands by these performances. I He next taught a leveret and then several ! species of birds to spell the name of any per- J son in company, and to distinguish the hour of j the day or night. Six turkey cocks were next, rendered amenable to a country dandc, apd j after six months' teaching, h?ftrained a turfte ) to fetch and carry like a dog, and having chalked the door and blackened its claws, he made it trace out the name of any given person in the company.?Land and Water. \ 4 j Sure Cures for Warts.-?Take a half! pint of beans, boil them up and wash your j hands in the water, using the same water un-1 til it sours.

Dwight, of Hudson, Michigan, consid*^ ers the question, "How to get plenty of j flavored fresh eggs with little trouble^aQ<j thinks if there is any secret in it he^ag dis-' covered it, and makes the same puWfc for tf,e I benefit of all interested. He say^f "Once, thirty years ago, I WMftroubledjuBt. as my neighbor now is. Ifejkmy hens plenty of corn and got but few eggs. I reasonea upou the matter, and happen to think that the constituent parts offlfilk and the white of eggs _ were much ajjfce. Now, it has long been known to tpfikmen that wheat middlings and bran aj^about the best of any feed to make a cow give milk; why not then the best to make heus lay eggs ? I tried it, and smce tnen nave : had no trouble. My mode of preparing the^ feed is to mix about five parts of bran with one of middlings. In the morning I wet up with water about four quarts of the mixture in a large tin pan, taking pains to have it rather dry, though all damp. This I set in a warm, sunny spot south of their shed, and they walk up, take a few dine, don't seem to fancy it like corn, and start on* on a short hunt for some- I think better, but always coming around in a short time for a few more from the dish of bran. Theie is little time during the whole * day but what one or more are standing by the pan, and likewise helping themselves. "I am careful to for them just as much as they will consume during th^4*v. At night, just before they ijepare to the rtost, I' usually throw them aKout a pint of sh'aW^ corn, well scattered, so that each one oan^ger a few kernels. If your hens don't incline to eat this feed at first, sprinkle a little Jndian meal on top. I would like all who complain I of getting no eggs to try my plan, and I think they will never be sorry." * * * Whitewashing Apple Trees. ? This very old mode, among tidy farmers, to make their apple orchards look nice, but which for many years has been next to abandoned, is coming into vogue'again, and discussions are being indulged iu as to the propriety of it What we know about the matter ourselves, is that we do not think that it makes much dif ference so far as the health or productiveness of the trees are concerned, whether they are whitewashed or not. In other words we don't think that "it pays." It certainly has a tendency to close the pore? of the trunks, as well as that it has an unnatural appearance. So fir as it is claimed that the whitewash causes -the old bark to seal? off, and hiding-places of insects to be disturbed, and this is about all that is claimed kor it, how much better for every farmer having an pi^hard, to scrape the trees once a year, or only every other year, : and follow it with a loashmg of whale-oil soap or carbolic soap and water, applied with a stout broom ? This would be sure to-dWedgS, the insects, open the pores of the trees, and give them a natural, healthy appearance. This would do the work effectually, and leave no room for doubt or discussion. Whatever aid the whitewashing trees may be to their health and productiveness, the best orchards we ever saw, which bore full crops for a generation, were i\ot whitewashed, but scraped and washed with "soft" soap andhrtKter.?Ger. Telegraph. ' : ; ? ? Watering" Horses.?On the snbjeet of watering teams, Mr. Joseph Harris, anagricmttwaj writer, advocates frequent watering, of work horSes, as a renewer of the vigor of the animals. We. disagree with him. We think-both man and beast are generally watered too much. Man and horses at hard work in warm weather perspire just in proportion to the quantity of fluids taken into 'thd stomach. Frequent drinking in hot weather, according) to our experience, emasculates instead of re* Treshfes. Some years ago, being at Cape Is* land^in driving out in onebf the stand-coaches of thei].1 nverv tinTdav, we aJsketLtheJ driver jhow it was tbafliirnbttiuj little, jwhile the horses 6f private carriagwjp going at a slower speed; were covered with f foam. He replied that he watered Ibis hottcs^, three times a day only, though he sponged T their mouths frequently; while the private) drivers watered their horses whenever iheyf stopped. He said, and it seemed to us as very sensible, that the frequent watering of j ? ; nurses eueuieu nu guuu jjuiisusc, nunc ? made them very uncomfortable and lethargic. Horses, no matter what their work was, did not need watering oftener than three* times a day. Our own experience, with horses all our life, is to the same effect. Drenching Horses.?Whenever it b?- j comes necessary to administer liquid medicine to a horse, extreme care should be taken that it does not pass into the lungs. A horn should be used, and the animal's head should. be well elevated, and the mixture be pourettt* down steadily, but not too fast. Howes, > after the administering of a drench, are often troubled with a cough and very offensive breath, occasioned by the passage to the'lungs c^ome of the medicine, The animlt may r^^er from such ill treatment, but often dies after the lapse of weeks or months, perhaps may suffer for years from a chronic , cough, and occasional inflammation of the ', lungs. The fact is, that the administering o? liquid medicine to a horse is a very dangerotw operation. Great care should therefore be j exercised in feeding, watering and working j horses, so as to keep them in good condition; j needing no medicine. .Especial care should be taken to avoid exposing them to-cal|Li winds or rains when in a state of violent per^ spiration. When medicine becomes necessa- ^ ry, a ball is much the safest plan of ad minis-/ tering it.?Hearth and Home.

"Yes, sir; and I am ,very grateful to you? indeed I aim?and yoti shall see by my work how mnch I love my mother and you." Jack Spoke. these words earnestly.

You may depend on me." Mr. Jones turned to his desk, and Jack hastened to do something, to show Mr. Jones hW'desirous he was to please him and how nicely he wtuld do his work. In an hoir or two the room began to fill with customers, and sbon all the clerks were busy as they could bfe. Jack was nearly everyWheret with his pleasant, "Let me help you, pleass," and when night came all were rekdy lo praise the "errand boy" for goodnature and willing assistance. That night Jack, slept sweetly. He had done his whole duty. His employer approved his conduct; but what was better than all, his own conscience whispered, "Peace; you've done right." was just peeping over the hills when Jjaclj rose next morning, and as soon as the store was opened He was in bis place. All day, as theday before, Jack was busy. When tie itore was closed he felt happy, bnt his limbs were tired; the work he had to perform ?aa more than he was accustomed to do, but he did not complain. ' THm .toatten went on. Jack gradually confidence of all who knew him, afidif a message was to be sent in haste, a package delivered promptly, or a check cashtea it the bank. Jack was the boy to do it word -was considered truth itself. One dironc of^the clerks wished to send a packjmjfo the express. Ogling Jack, he said: *JK<g this to the office, quick; run, please. jhekt it to go out to-day, and I am afraid St fill be too late." ' *' i : Avay Jack bounded, but had not gone far befob he heard some one shout: "Hallo Jock Knotles! wait for a fellow.

"Here, sir, please, send this package to-day, si*; please," said Jack to the clerk in the ex-< piiess office, stopping two or three times to get his breath. "All right; you are just in time, my little matft two minutes more and the office would , be dosed." 1 "Ob,.I am so glad I didn't wait for Bill South'!" he said half aloud. Then, after stopping a moment to rest, he hastened back with a light step, feeling that he had done right, and that this pleasant feeling more ^hAkuaaid him for his trouble. "Justin time, MrTjohiinson ; two minutes more would have bto) too late." A "Thank-you, thank, you, Jack; I will not ijirga^this favor." "f "Nq thanks are due me; I have only done njy duty." , .

"It must be Mr. Johnson, and he hurried >ffjp .find that gentleman, but he was busy uuP continued so all <foy- Jack thought he was ttftwspaljy industrious, for he could never jee hlin at leisure, and could not tell him how much he prized the little gift. Mr. Johnson, hoover, read it in his eyes, and that was all the thanks he wanted. *?i||ere, Jack, take this check and get it jashed. The amount is one hundred dollars ?nd seventy-five cents. Connt the money before you leave the bank." The banker knew lack; besides Mr. Jones had told him to let lack have money whenever he sent him, so fohud tt" in getting money on the sheet. After it was paid to nira he stopped knd commenced to count it slowly. "Don't you think I have given you the 'jgfet amount," said the casher, vexed to see he little fellow slowly turning the bijls and sounting, "Ten, twenty, twenty-five, fortyive,"_. """Are you satisfied how?" said the cashier, yith a contemptuous curl of his lip. "No, sir; this is not right." "Boy! what do you mean. Not right ?" * "Yea, sir; not right I wantonly one hunIred dollars and seventy-five cents. You have jiv&r rae one hundred and seventy-five dolars." "Impossible!" :"I)ook and see." He looked and saw that Jack was correct. BEe then paid him the right amount, saying, p an undertone, "Whew! beat by a boy." Jack thought he had done nothing worthy >f comment, and therefore never mentioned ;he occurrence to bis employer. One evening just before closiug, Mr. Jones lummoned all the clerks into the counting*oom and then called Jack. When he had aken his seat among them, Mr. Jones arose ind slowly said: "Jack Knowles, it is my iuty to tell you that you are no longer an jrraad-boy-in my store." He then sat down.! For a moment Jack was speechless. The i iyes of all the clerks were upon him. Sudlenly recovering himself, speaking through ; ears -and choking emotion, ne said, "Oh, Mr. I fanes! what have I done ? What have I lone?" j <fThese gentlemen will tell you," he coolly mswered. "Mr. Johnson may speak first." j Mr. Johnson arose and said: "He runs all he way to the express office when there is a ossibility of being too late." Mr. Henderon said: "He is always on hand when a I ! package is to. be delivered." Mr. Holmes, i the book-keeper; "He helps me post my books ; at night," Mr. Henley: "I heard him tell the ' cashier of the Union Bank that he had paid him too much money once last summer." Mr. Howe: "He is always neat and tidy, and can tie up a package as quick and as nicely ae I can." ''Now, boy," said Mr. Jones, scarcely able to keep a straight face, as he saw Jack's look of mingled surprise, joy and fear, "you see what you have done, and I say again, we do not want you as an errand-boy, but make you a clerk in a department of the store." Then the gentlemen present grasped him by the hand and congratulated him, saying, "You have lost one place, but secured a better one." Not many days hence there will be seen the sign, "Jones & Kuowles," in Shepardsville. So much for au obliging disposition, attention to interest' of employer, strict honesty, energy and punctuality.?Reformed Church Messenger. #^.4 THE LENT HALF DOLLAR. When Charles Gleason was about ten years I old, a bright half-dollar was given him by his grand-father, to buy anything he pleased for a New Year's present. The boy's mother that morning had taught him the verse: "He that hath pity on the poor lendeth to the Lord, and that which he hath will He repay him again." The words' were running in the boy's mind, on his way to the store to purchase a toy that he haa seen in the window of the shop the previous day. Just before Charlies reached the store, he met a poor woman, who had sometimes done washing for ?is mother, and she seemed to ber: in great distress. * *. "What;is the matter, Hannah ?" said this kind-hearow child. T ^ "Oh, Master Charlie, I've got to be tutted i into the street this cold morning, and mylittle Bill is so sick, too 1" "Turned into the street?you and Bill? what for ?" "Because I can't raise my weekly rent. I have just been to see my landlord, and he says its three days over due, and he'll not wait another day. There go the men to pnt out my bed and stove, and a few other things, on the sidewalk. Oh, what shall I doJ*"; "How much is your rent, Hannah r asked the boy, with a choking voice. "It's half a dollar," said the woman. "It will kill Bill to put him out in this cold, and "fcure I will die with him." "No, you won't?no, you shanfc!" said the tender-hearted child; and feeling in his pocket brought forth his treasured half-dollar and placed it quickly iu her hands. Seeing she hesitated to keep it, notwithstanding her great need, Charlie told her it was all his own, to -Ipead as he pleased, and that he wonld rather give it to her than have the nicest toy in the store. Then 'walking away swiftly from the shop windows, which were all full of tempting New Year's presents, he went bravely home to his mother, sure of her approbation. The first person he met was his grand-father. He had observed Charlie go down the street, and waited for his return, that he might see what he had bought. So his first salutation was: "Well, Charlie, what haye you done with your money?" Now Charlie's grandfather was not a religious man ; and the boy knew* that though he sometimes gave money to his relations, he seldom or never bestowed it upon the poor, so he would rather not tell him what he had done with his money ; but while be hesitated, the verse he had that morning learned* (Wfce , into his mind and helped him to answer. Looking pleasantly into his^ grandfather's face he said : v , "I've lent it, sir." "Lent your half-dollar, foolish boy! You will never get it again, I know." "Ob, yes, I shall, grandpa, for I've got a promise to pay." "You mean a note, I suppose, but it isn't forth | cent," vj V' \ ' + Oh. yes, grandpa, it is perfeotfy good. T am Sure ahoutlt, mi it's in uidmUuTV . "You mean you have p^t it there for safe keeping, eh ? Let .me see it" Charlie brought htm' the book and showed him the verse: "He that hath pity on the poor, lendeth to the Lord, and that he hath given will He pay him again." "So you gave your money to some poor scamp? Well, you'll never see it again.. Who has got it, pray ?" "I gave it to Hannah Green, sir." riKoflio him tho an/I atnrv "0 fudge!" said his grand-father, "you can't pay poor folks' rent. It's all nonsense. And now you've lost your New Year's present?or if I don't make it up to you. Here," he added, as he threw him another half-dollar, "seeing your money is gone where you will never see it again, I must give you some more, I suppose." "Oh, thank you!" said Ctiarlie, heartily. "I knew the Lord would pay me again, grandpa, because the Bible says so, but I didn't expect to get it so quick."
