TO FARMER BOY8. "I'm sick of lftfeing in the corn, And following the plow; Of working hard from dewy morn Till eve, with heated brow. No longer will I stay to mow Or pilch the scented hay; To the great city will I go, Where wealth it gained by play."

A traveling correspondent of the CourierJournal tdh the following story of a game of , rail mad boker he saw played recently: We were soon enlivened by the appearance of a Cincinnati support en route for the < springs, and a Louisville clothier going to i New-Orleans, who began to play a lively j game, twenty-five cents ante, and no limit at all. Our sympathies were soon arrayed on the side of Louisville, who played a square i game, and against Cincinnati, who rungin all the foul tricks he knew. Louisville was a < little dark-haired, bright-eyed man, a German Jew,'but as honest as day. Cincinnati was a j big, red-feced mustachio, pretty sharp, and i thoroughly unscrupulous. When: Cincinnati had won about three hundred dollars, one of us took Louisville aside and told him what was going on, while another stack an ace up one sleeve and a king up the other. i "Now," said they, "he's been cheating you i from the first, and if you want to get even, you must do as we tell you." j Louisville said he would. i They told him to wait until he got two aoes or two kings; then to fetch down one of the odd cards from his sleeve, and to "go in." i The very next hand he got four kings. They began to bet, Cincinnati saw his ten and went five. Louisville went fifty better. Cincinnati raised him a hundred. Louisville came to time and added a fifth to it. Cincinnati responded and put on a hundred more. ' Louisville .said, "I'm in," and called him. , There were nearly seven hundred dollars on i the table, and Cincinnati laid down four aces. Louisville raked the money in his lap and l-!3 J ^ J..* XttlU UUWU Jtvc Kinya. . "Why/ says Cincinnati, "that's barefaced I swindling/- . ^ ; "Swinalin* pe damn," says Louisville.

I fights you mit anyding, an' I fight you right now. Vich you choose?' Cincinnati concluded he wouldn't fight. He said the crowd was against him, declared he coul&i't get fair play, and got off at the nest station. A Hard WiND.-^Old Peter H lived in a one-story wooden house of not very extensive dimensions, and when it was subjected to the force of one of those hurricanes so numerous of late years at the west, its powers of resistance were insufficient to withstand so great a pressure, and it yielded the point withouta struggle?however, it was not upset, nor torn to pieces, but merely moved a few rods. In the course of the journey the stove was upset and the fire spilt out, and the danger of conflagration was imminent. Old Peter was too much excited to notice the removal of his house, and seeing the necessity of immediately applying water to the burning embers on the ^ * * 1 J J i. L* floor, he seized a Ducxet ana aaneu out w bind the house, when great was his astonishment to find all the traces of his well obliterated. After bolting in blank astonishment a moment, he c tiled out to his wife: , "Sarah, I'll be blamed if the wind has not blown the well clear out of the lot!" ST Jarvis, the bacchanalian artist, was once employed by a gentleman to paint his wife?a miracle of plainness?under the stipulation that a pint of wine at a single sitting must be the extent of his potations. Jarvis assented, and in a short time produced a perfect fac-simile of the lady. On exhibiting it to the husband, he seemed disappointed.? "Couldn't you have given it," said he to the painter, "a little less?that is, couldn't you give it now, a little more " "If you expect me," said Jarvis, seeing the husband's drift, "if you expect me to make a handsome portrait of your wife, I must have more than , a pjnt Q^wine ft a fitting*. I couldn't get up I my imagination to make her even good-look-' ing under a quart, at the very least." t&r An Irishman made a sudden bolt into a druggist's shop, took from his pocket a sodawater bottle, filled to the brim with some pure liquor, and handing it across the counter, exclaimed : "There, doctor, snuff that, will you ?" The doctor did as he was directed, and pronounced the liquor to be genuine whiskey. "Thank you, doctor," said the Irishman. "Hand it to me again, if you please." The doctor again did as directed, and asked what he meant. "Och, thin," said Pat, "if you will have it, the priest told me not to Hn'nlr #nv nf this unless I crot it from the doc tor. So here's your healtfi and the priest's health." I?" An old German farmer, named Peter Mock, at a late court day, at Grayson, Ky., * was a party in suit in which a jury was empanneled. The Judge asked Peter if he objected to any one on the jury. "Yes," said reter, earnestly, "I objects ter Pill Franklin." Why, Bill Franklin is not on the jury," said the Judge. "Veil, I don't care a tam, chudge; I objects ter Pill Franklin anyway ; he's middling mit my pisness all der time, and I ob jects to Pill Franklin on brinciple all der! time."

Assuming it to be the true policy to raise our own provision crops, and thus save the money that would be required to buy them, the inquiry naturally arises, which are the safest, surest and most profitable of these crops to grow ? ft is an indisputable fact that the cotton growing jaart of the South (by comparison with morendrthern latitudes) is not a good grain growing country. The climate is against us. Tne usual droughts in June and July are destructive to corn crops. I may safely assert that in more than one year out of five the <)w>nn)if onto nflP tliB mrn oron a fourth. a half. UIVU^UV VWW VM ?MV yv?? ? - J- ? J ? , and sometimes causes an almost total failure. Notwithstanding these drawbacks, it is cheaper to make it than to buy it, pay the costly transportation on railroads and the hauling from depots, at the heavy expense of wear ana tear of mules, etc., beside the Iobs of the side product of fodder, shucks, and the run of the j fields; therefore, it is important that we make I our own corn, but with the drawbacks arising ; from our climate, it is' n6t amiss to ascertain [if oats may not, to a great extent, be substitu, ted as the surest, safest and most profitable feed crop. Heretofore, the oat crop has had but little attention, and then only to make up the deficient corn crop of the previous season, and sown on our poorest fields, without manuring, reserving the best lands and manures for the corn and cotton crops. The result generally is (what might be expected) aJight^Yield. At the urtoSIng considered tediAis, V Wi reTato my own experience. 1 For the past sixteen years I have cultivated my present form. Originally, it was lhin, piney woods land, and had been in cultivation about twenty years before I came in possession, and was well exhausted by the usual careless, scratching system. During the sixteen years I have operated the farm, with liberal manuring and careful cultivation, I have had only two good corn crops, making respectively twenty-four and twenty-five bushels per acre, manuring well each year. I have for the past fourteen years experimented with . oats, beginning with seeding five pecks to the acre, and no manure, resulting in crops hardly worth cutting. By manuring with one hundred pounds guano to the acre, I succeded better, getting an average of twenty bushels to the acre. Since, I have gradually increased the seeding, and for the past two years have sown three bushels of oats to the acre, with fifty pounds flour of bones and fifty pounds Soluble Pacific Guano, plowed in together, and a top dressing of one hundred pounds ' Peruvian per acre, about the middle of February, resulting in thirty-five bushels" clean fanned oats per acre, besides losing full five bushels per acre by allowing them to stand too long. I sow what is known here as the ' non-rusting and non-smutting oats,and during ' the time (about twelve years) I have cultivated this variety, they have neither smutted nor rusted. (I have no seed to sell, having sold all I could spare this year.) My experience is, that I get, with the same ' manuring, about three times as many bushels of oats per acre as I can of corn, on an average. I obtain this result with very much less labor. My oats, which I sow in October, November or December, are ready to cut the last week in May, up to the first of June. Those I sow after Christmas, about the 10th of June. They mature before the summer droughts while corn is still subjected to them. Oats are better food for horses and mules than corn. With half a Deck of oats and one bundle of fodder, or equivalent in hay, three times a day, my horses and mules keep 1 in fine condition?hair glossy, and since they 1 feed exclusively on oats, have not had a case i of colic or any disease among them. ] My plan is now: fifty pounds flour of raw 1 ioones, fifty pounds Pacific Guano, sown on 1 plowed in "With a turn plow? not deepqr than to turn the stuff under. I then tross it with a harrow, (a brush can be substituted) then roll with a pretty heavy roller, then a sack of Liverpool salt to the acre, (the rolling and salt to prevent winter killing) and one hundred pounds Peruvian Guano top-dressing, the middle of February. By this manuring I hope and expect to get fifty bushels. In some cases I am substituting fifty bushels cotton seed in lieu of the flour of bones and Pacific plowed in; the top dressing not to be omitted. The cost of this high manuring will be, including salt, about twelve dollars per acre; salt omitted, nipe dollars. W. H. Y. P. S.?I find that, by sowing a less quantity than three bushels seed to the fccre, I get a coarse, heavy straw, while three bushels of seed gives the heavy yield of oats. The straw is finer, and my mules and cattle feed on it well.?Southern Farm and Home. ? ? ? EXPENDITURES FOR MANURES. Millions of dollars, says a writer, are annually expended for manures that ought to be anvpfl for. with adeauate painstaking, a farm whose stock is rightly proportioned to thq number of acres tilled, will furnish all the m'tt* nure necessary to keep the farm constantly increasing in fertility. Barns should be so arranged as to shelter and save all the manure, both liquid and solid ; then as a load of solid manure is taken from the stable to the "ordure room," there should be thrown over it two or three times its bulk of refuse straw, sods, weeds, leaves, bean and pea vines, mulch, swamp muck, tanbark, sawdust and shavings, pouring over the heap as much liquid manure as the compost will absorb. By the constant repetition of this process, there will be created an enormous amount of fermented manure, sufficient to supply all reasonable demands of the farm. If eight or ten hogs are fattened, by means of the same process, the hog pen is made to furnish a bountiful supply of manure for the garden and a large field of corn. Any farm may thus be made to manufacture all the manure for the crops grown upon it, except potatoes, and those should have plaster instead of manure, as the latter increases their tendency to rot. Potatoes should be planted on a dry piece of land, after buckwheat, and the land" well sown \sith plaster, *ur the planter may throw a handful of plaster into each bill. Ashes do very well as a substitute for plaster : potatoes are not liable to rot planted with either. Guano is good and valuable for farm use; but every farmer should save from the droppings of the hennery enough for home use, instead of buying the imported article. Privies should be so constructed as to readily yield up their accumulation, either from a tight box, so hung as to b6 easily moved, or from a sliding drawer, whence the contents should be conveyed to a heap or vat of absorbent re- j fuse, which should also be the receptacle of kitchen refuse and thus bedroom deposits. A j compost heap is thus formed sufficient to enrich a garden to the highest degree of fertility, and by the use of chloride of lime, or some other disinfectant, all offensiveness may be avoided. The following deductions, drawn from years of observation and experience, are worthy the attention of farmers: ! 1st. Farming cannot be profitably conduct-1 ed without careful reference to the laws of waste and supply. 2d. The sature of the waste must be understood, and the proper remedies applied. 3d. All these supplies should be drawn from the resources of the farm under culture.? Maryland Farmer. Land Measure.?An acre contains 4,840 square yards. A square mile contains 640 acres.

Many American Christians have been made more or less familiar with the work and method of George Muller, the founder and manager of the Ashley Down Orphanage, in England. He began in 1834, without any other resources than prayer, or any other capital than his feith in God, and his supplies have never failed him. He has employed no 1 collecting agents, made no appeals, enlisted especially no denominational pnde or interest, and yet much has been accomplished by his instrumentality. Sixteen day schools, that now have 1,165 children under instruction, have been entirely supported, and twelve others assisted. Sunday schools and others for adults have also been aided. In the latter 1 u 1SQA 3 RQ3 adult nil. were nave utwn, umw v,w? 1? , pils. The number of Sunday school scholars has been 4,463, and the number of scholars in the day schools 10,619. "Thus," says Mr. I Muller, "without counting the orphans, 18,- j 775 souls have been under habitual instruction." I In his annual circular, or "Narrative of I facts," Mr. Muller asks his readers to jpray "that God would be pleased to work mightily 1 in the hearts of those who were formerly un- j der our care, in bringing to their remembrance the truth which was then set before them." On the 26th of May last there were 1,722 nrnhiuzFuiuder his care, a work which has exhibited excellent results. Nor is this tlje whole scope wQiis laborsv: since 1834 he has sold or given awpt 18? 747 copies of the Bible, and has engaged so actively IhlbVironi" of both home and foreign missions, in Devonshire, England, and in Spain and in China, that, during the last year no less than 179 laborers were sustained, all men of faith and working on the most economical allowances. "Without any one having been personally apf)lied to for anything by me," writes Mr. Muler, "the sum of ?323,692 7s. 9Id. has been given to me for the orphans, as the result of prayer to God, since the commencement of the work, which sum includes the amount*eceived for the building fund for the five houses." This brief record of authentic facts, which we gather from a recent article in the London Freeman, carries with it a lesson of faith worthy to be noted by gospel workers everywhere. Only a shallow and nasty thinker would deduce the notion that Mr. Muller's peculiar method is the best adapted to all circumstance* and all nrnnosed undertakings, good as its results have been, for the real teaching is deeper and more valuable, as could be vouched for by the patient and prayerful men who have borne the sacred burden of many of our own great undertakings for the cause of Christ The true lesson is this:?that, in spite of all the sneers of infidelity, the cold unbelief of mere business morality, and the yet more chilling and injurious "doubt" of nominal Christians, prayer has its power and its answer, and faith has its promise and its victory, with no less real and manifest certainty at this present time than in the days of Abraham s pilgrimage or Paul's ministry. The Lord our God is a living God, and he is by no means deaf to the cry of his children, nor will he at all fail to comply with the request of the loving ones who rely on Him. The strong workers of the churches, whether known or unknown to their brethren, are those who kneel and rise again with an expectation that their requests will be granted in the way which to God seems best, but that they will be granted. Where there is true love of God and his kingdom, there is' and must be faith and power in prayer, and where love grows cold faith must fade and die. It is useless, therefore, to urge upoq any that they exercise more of faith, but rather that j th^y should set their souls to the ob^lience off t!iP'5r8t,a5Tgr?5t con^mjHiJmeutTlBn^Tn?! selond which is like unto it" Evidently tins is where Mr. Muller began, and there cannot be any other beginning. To those who have thus begun, we fully believe that there is hardly an attainable limit in the sure and steady growth of their power for good, unless we may assign some limit to God's power to give?and love laboring in faith has the whole world and its future before it, as the field for the achievement of its sure victories. To those who have not thus begun, we can sorrowfully poiut to all the unaccomplished work of winning the world to Christ, and ask them if they can find therein no strong incentive for quickening their spiritual purposes, and accepting God s promises as to the vital, I>ositive, undying power of the prayer which is made by loving and undoubting faith. PREACHING CHRIST IN PRIVATE. It is a false idea that to preach the gospel, we must have a crowd before us. In the early history of the Church, God blessed his own word to small assemblies. Peter preached to Cornelius and his household ; Paul to Lydia and her household; Philip, on the desert 'way, preached to a single hearer. Such sermons are sometimes the most effective. A single soul is inestimably precious, and a single convert has sometimes proved himself a host. "NVe have read of sermons addressed to a mere handful of persons that have proved the seed of abundant harvests. An humble ploughman taught the celebrated James Harvey some useful lessons out of his humble experience; and who can tell the influence of these lessons ? It is marvellous how much good was accomplished in Scotland and Geneva by the eminent Robert Haldane. To trace the streams of good that have flowed from the fountains of his influence seems like romance. Yet of him it is said that it was to the conversation of a pious stonemason, with whom he once walked some miles through the woods of Airthray, that he attributed his first clear conceptions of the plan of justification. That stone-mason was a preacher. No me- j tropolitau pulpit could have added dignity to j his work, ile preacnea me gospei more iruij i and effectually than many who have attempt-! ed it in gown and bands. Perhaps if he had ^aspired to do it in the sacred desk, he would have made a failure. The grass-grown path through the woods of Airtnray was pulpit enough for him, and content, yet faithful, in his humble sphere of influence, his words have | already, through his single hearer, gone forth j to the ends of the earth. The prosperity of the cause of Christ depends largely on the fidelity of the private viembers of his Church. There is work for each one to do. Every one may find a pulpit of his own, and in that pulpit he should discharge his duty with all the solemn earnestness and fidelity of a "man of God." It may not be a very elevated pulpit. It may not be very conspicuous to human eyes. It may be as humble as the seat of a Sabbath-school teacher, or a chair by the fire side. But if the I living truth as it is in Jesus may go forth I from it, that will change it into a pulpit. A j single soul led to Christ will infinitely more j than compensate for all the effort made; and j many a soul that would, perhaps, never be 1 1 mow Ko tunn I reacnea Dy me ouuuaui sciumu, muj uv j by the gentle tones of Christian friendship. | Think.?Reader, do you ever think? You ! have a soul as well as a body. You must die j one day. After death comes the judgment, j Do you ever think ? Want of thought is one simple reason why thousands lose their souls forever. They will not reflect on their latter end, and the certain | consequence of their present ways. And at last they will find they are lost for want of thinking. Believe me, this is not a world in which we ; can do without thinking. Least of all can we in the matter of our souls. "Don't think," whispers Satan; he knows that an unconverted heart is like a dishonest tradesman's books; it will not bear close inspection. "Consider your ways," says the word of God?stop *fld think?consider and be wise. Well says the Spanish proverb, "Hurry comes of the devil." Just as men sometimes marry in haste and repent at leisure, so they make mistakes about their souls in a minute, then suffer for it for years. Just as a bad ser-j vant does wrong, ana then says, "I never gave it a thought," so men run into sin, and then say, "I did not think about it?it did not look like sin." Not look like sin!

"Knowing therefore the* terror of the Lord, we persuade them."?Dr. Guthrie. Pbaying Families.?Among a circle of. four or five familes, all shoots from the parentstock, family piety blossomed with uncommon beauty, and bore fruits of rare excellence., ; As one child after another attained to years , of accountability, the claims of their Redeem- ' er were acknowledged, and a place sought among his people. What was the secret of all this? We near the answer in the very 1 words of a member of the favored household. "I trace this stream of Holy influence back 1 to the prayers of a pious ancestor. Grand- 1 father was ~u eminent man of God, and he prayed much for his children's children?in the fields, in the woods, at morning, mid-day and evening.

"Not as the World Givetil"?"My peace I give unto you," was the benediction of the Master as he told the faithful few of his departure to his Father's many-mansioned home. "Not as the world giveth, give I unto you," said He, for the gift of the world is weariness and tears, in place of peace and hope, which are the gift of God alone. How often in the strife of life, when failure meets us, or when trouble greater than seems our strength to bear comes to us, does the weary pilgrim look up with a face white through suffering, and eyes dimmed with tears, and tremblingly yet earnestly thank the Master that His gifts, unlike the world's, are peace and rest. Happy is he who can with his burdens and weariness come to Him who taketh burden and its bearer, and in Him find peace beyond expression. One who has known the unequaled peace of Christ the Lord, can but have nitv for those who, like them, have work to do, burdens to carry, tears and grief^ to whom failure comes, and yet who know nothing of that parting gift of Christ?the peace of God. Saddest man of all the world should he be who has no Christ, no Saviour, no refuge in distress, no shelter from the storm. 0, that the world might know the peace which is the Christian's gift from heaven. Efficacy of Prayer.?I no more believe that God leaves a right prayer, offered in the right spirit, to pass unnoticed, than I believe that He will let this whole summer pass over without a drop of rain or dew. In securing answers to our requests, we must co-operate with the Lord. Some people ask Him to do their work. "Father," said a little boy, after he had heard him pray fervently for-the poor at family worship, "Father, I wish I had your corn crib." "Why my son ?" "Because, then I would answer your prayer." I have heard professing Christians pray fbr the conversion of their children, while they are taking them night after night into scenes of frolic and dir^ sipation. We may nmke-ftobftittialdfe^P but the Almighty will never le^us make a " fool of Him. "God is not mocked; whatsoever we sow, we shall also reap." Neither does God ever mock us. "All things are possible to GodTo Christ the power of God in man, To me, now I am all renewed, T fVirmiffh Him am formed again. And now through Christ, from sin set free, All things are possible to me." ?Cuyler. Hints for Young Christians.?1. Nev-1 er neglect daily private prayer; and remem-1 ber that God hears your prayers. 2. Never neglect daily private Bible reading ; and remember that God is speaking to you, and you are to believe and act upon what he says. 3. Never let a day pass without aiming to do something for Jesus; every morning reflecting on what Jesus has done for you. . 4. If you are ever in doubt as to a thing being right or wrong, consider whether yolk can ao it in the name of Jesus, and ask God's blessing upon it 5. Never take your Christianity from Christians, but ask yourself, "How would the Lord have me act?" and follow him. 6. Never trust your feelings, or the opinions of men, if they contradict God's word. 7. In deciding questions of truth and duty, remember that the wrong side has a crafty and powerful advocate in your own heart jEjT There can be no friendship where there is no freedom. Friendship loves a free air, and will not be penned in straight and narrow enclosures. It will speak freelv, and act so too; and take no ill where no ill is meant; nay, when it is, it will easily forgive, and forget too, upon small acknowledgements. i ? f|is?n?W0U$ A LEGEND OF KILLABNEY. One of the legends of this beautiful lake, situated in the heart of Ireland, is that once "Svery: seven years, on a fine morning, before $he nrst rayB of the snn have begun to disperse the mist from the bosom of the lake, the O'Donoghue comes riding over it on a beautiM snow-white horse, intent upon household aflairs, fairies hovering before him and strewing his path with flowers. As he approaches his ancient residence, everything turns to its former state of magnificence?his castle, his library, his prison, his pigeon-house, are reproduced as in olden time. Those who have courage to follow him over the lake may cross the deepest part dry-footed, and ride with him in the opposite mountains, where his treasures lie concealed; and the daring visitor will receive a liberal gift in return for his company; but before the sun has arisen, the O'Donaghue recrosses the water, and vanishes amid the ruins of his castle. " Another relates how a young and beautiful girl, named Melcha, when wandering along the banks of a beautiful lake, after the last rays of the setting sun had gilded the horizon, saw bv the nale licht of the nilverv mnnn. which had just risen, a plumed head rise out of the lake. Gazing on the phantom, she distinctly saw the form of a chieftain on a white charger, gliding slowly toward her. They had an interview. She loved. He promised her a happy life under the green waves.

Brick Pomeroy, in his aJemocrat, thus explains the paternity of theWoove popular interrogation. In answer to a correspondent, Pbmeroy says: ~ , Henry Ward Beecher is the author of the sentence which has become so popular. At the time of the Cleveland Conventiou, in 1864, when John Cochran was bv certain disaffected < Republicans nominated for the Presidency, Henry Ward Beecher, the author of the phrase, "It's mpst d--d hot," was at the ' spaulding House, Binghampton, New York. While there, waiting for the train to bear him west, he beoame acquainted with a few gen- 1 tlemen, among them a conductor of the Erie : railroad, named C. O. Graves, who was a 3trong Republican, a great admirer of Beecher, and a member of tne same church. To while away the time before the train ' which was to bear him westward should arrive, it was deemed best to seek a little quiet amusement in a private parlor, by indulging in the popular gam&aL"gevafl1 wMiwV To this, game Mr. Beecher made no objections, stating that he played all such games as checkers, back-gammon, chess, euchre, wbisf, etc., etc., at home with his family, and that , he oonmdered it no harm to seek such Sbg&temertt when traveling, jor even to carry, wThima pack of cards or a box of chessmen, as he generally did. . Graves and Beecher were partners, the party playing for the lemonade. On a fourhanded game Graves and Beecher were struck, and "sawed" to see who should pay for the lemonade. They played a single game to decide the matter. At last it stood, Beecher six and Graves five, with his deal. By accident or design Graves turned the jack of hearts, which put hira six. It was then a question of who had the highest card to go out Beecher looked at his hand, found nothing in there of note, and he laid down the deuce on the table with the remark : "I give you your Jack; that puts us six apiece. Here is the deuce; how's that for high ?" . The remark was so original, and the joke so'good, that everybody laughed, and Graves ordered in the beverages. The story was told first to one conductor and then to another along the line of the road, and, at least ran over the country, till now nearly every one uses that as .a slang phrase which has become as popular as "You bet," "Red hot," or "Shoo fly. Afraid of Death?A Yellow Fever Incident.?During the recent alarm excited ^thep revalence of fever, a good many persons adopted all sorts of preventives. Any suggestion which tended to accomplish this purpose was seized with avidity and applied without scruple. A young man of the reporter's acquaintance was of this number. His insane dread of the disease amounted to a monomania. Every conceivable nostrum was taken, dnd every possible liquor imbibed as a preventive ? lemonade, brandy and water, wine, citrate of magnesia, mineral water, buchu, cathartic pills, and iron lozenges were taken successively, the same day, ana in turn rejected for newer and more efficient remedies. Toward night he began to feel bad. His stomach was in evident disorder, and racking pains prevailed in the region of the head and oack. Satisfied that Yellow Jack was laying siege to hira in earnest, he sent for a physician and begged of him piteously to save his life. The doctor examined him carefully. "You haven't got yellow fever," he said, "hut. vou've eaten something that has die agreecf with you. I shall have to give you an ! The prescription was forthwith ap-pflUi, an3 the result awaited with impatience.' Suddenly the odor of brandy filled the j room. r "Why, you've been drunk," said the doctor. . "Wait, doctor, wait," gasped the patient, in his paroxysm. | Then came lemonade. "Why, its pnnch you've been drinking." i "Wait, doctor, yyait." And then, mingled with these compounds, j came the smell of buchu, thesickening pffluvia Df nitre, tempered and subdued by port wine, j 1 "Why, man, what is all this ?" cried the astonished man of science. "Wait, doctor, we haven't got to the bottom yetand then came out a dark liquid, which the patient in his distress denominated fmolasses and water." Then came gin, whiskey and Madeira, to be succeeded in their Jura by Congress water, Vichy and Kissingen. The doctor was in despair, which was augmented by the now frantic enquiry of his pa?p?t: r "Doctor, have I got the fever?" "Got the deuce! No. Yellow fever, cholera or small-pox would be a waste of material with .you. Have no dread, sir; nothing less than aft earthquake can ever do you any damage," and the physician took his leave, and the patient rapidly recovered.?New Orleans Picayune. V. General Lee's Coolness in Battle.? As an instance of his coolness under trying circumstances, it is related that during one of the hottest fights in Mexico he was with Gen. Scott making observations, when a ball from the enemy struck a post or tree very near him, knocking the bark and splinters in his face. Gen, Scott excitedly exclaimed, "Lee, are you hurt ?" to which the latter replied. "No," and carelessly brushing the bark and dirt from his person, proceeded with his observations as if nothing unusual had occurred. He had but few "bosom friends," and there is not an officer in the city now with whom it can be said that he was very intimate. His manner being reserved, he was not easily approached though he was always regarded as the perfect type of a dignified officer. When he resigned nis commission in the United States, army Glen. Soott was deeply affected, and remarked to a fellow-officer that "Lee was a valuable man, and his services were worth millions a day to any Government."? Washington Star. ROMANTIC MARRIAGE. The New Orleans Picayune, of the 18th ultimo, has the following: A few days since a well-dressed and handsome youth, of some eighteen years of age, appeared before one of our city magistrates and asked if he could engage his services to perform a marital ceremony. The reply was in the affirmative, and the young man left, but shortly afterward returned, accompanied by a sombre-looking female, middle-aged, and dressed in black. "Is this lady your mother ?" inquired the magistrate. "Oh, no sir; this is the lady I desire to marry !" replied the youth, as the lady drew aside her veil, disclosing a countenance wrinkled and sere, but on which for the moment gleamed a sort of icy smile. "Indeed." "Oh, yes, sir." . 1 "But are you of age PV...- ' "Not ygt~ -this lady is my guardian;" "Andshe gives her consent? "Yes, sir." V The magistrate was in a quandary. He didn't know exactly what to do. He hated to sacrifice the youth, and join the brightfaced May to the gloomy, icy December. "Isn't this rather a strange union V' he asked. ' "Not at all, replied the expectant bride. "I have a large amount of property which I desire to leave this young man. As I have relatives who might dispute the will were I to give it to him as a legacy, I prefer to marry him." !t "And you are content to marry this woman fojf her money ?" asked the justice, i>; "Well, I shouldn't marry her for anything else 1" frankly replied-the boy lover. "She ain't pretty. And without more ado the ceremony was concluded. The Western Hog Crop.?The Cincinnati Price Current says: "There has been an active demand for hogs, and prices advanced to $8 gross. As regards the future of the market for hogs, there continues to be considerable speculation. The general impression is that prices must rule low, but the difficult point is what may be regarded as low prices. That there is to be a large increase in the hog crop, none pretend to deny, but what prices will be safe are matters causing great perplexity in the minds of packers. Sales of hogs have been made at $6.50 gross, delivered here any time before the middle of next January, and there are not many buyers at this rate, nor are there many sellers. Prices ; of pork have been so high for the past seven i or eight years that it is difficult to educate public sentiment to what are really low or J rather safe prices. There can be no doubt t that the season, now close at hand, is regarded 1 by the trade generally as exceedingly hazard- J ous, and the packer who does not observe ex- j treme caution will doubtless suffer severely." blAC unuit AO U1JU4AV/UO.
