LIBERALITY OP INSURANCE AGENTS.
I picked him out for an insurance man as j
quick as I saw him. There was no mistaking J
that glance of inventory with which he took j
in my age, occupation, parents long or short!
lived, age of great grandfather when he died, !
pulmonary complaint on my mother's side,
and summer complaint on my father's, etc.,
etc. Before he ever spoke to me he would
sit looking at me for an hour at a time with
great tears in his benevolent eyes as big as
soap bubbles, grieving because one so young,
and yet so fair, wasn't insured. Then he
would clasp his hand:- and gaze yearningly
upon me as if to say: "Why, why will you
not take out a policy ?"
Oh, but it was touching to hear that old
man go on at the table and tell of the hundreds
and hundreds of families whom he had
reudered comfortable and happy by inducing
husbauds and lathers to get insured. And he
did it out of pure goodness of heart and love
of humanity, too?that was the best of it. The
satisfaction it afforded him was all the reward
he wanted.
If, in a moment of weakness, I should yield
to his persuasions and get insured, I shouldn't
- * l . . l D 1
to remain in nis vicinity long, oo anxious is
he to have families reap the benefit of insurance
I should be afraid that well-meaning but
impetuous old man would contrive to get me
killed for the satisfaction of handing the insurance
money over to my widow.
I was greatly touched by a story this venerable
man told about his search for a poor
woman who had a policy on her husband's
life, in a compauy he represented, in order to
jiay it to her, having heard casually that she
wanted it. I think he was occupied some
fifteen years iu his hunt for that woman ; and
yet only oue payment on the policy had ever
been made! But it is so much the custom of
life insurance companies to do this that it is
hardly necessary to mention that.
At length his efforts were rewarded. He
found the poor woman with her six children
in a miserable garret, trying to earn a living
for her family by splitting up tooth-picks at
one cent a thousand. Lying in a corner was
her brute of a husband, dead drunk. But I
will let the agent tell it in his own words :
I was sure I had fouud the right woman,
but I went about it carefully to find out
whether she still kept the policy. I had to
be cautious, you know, or I might drive the
poor woman wild. "Have you nothing to
maintain yourself by," said I, "save this toothpick
manufactory ?"
"Nothing whatever," she replied. "My
husband ought to support us, but he don't.
He's a good man when he's sober, but he ain't
ever sober. He can make good wages when
he ain't drunk, but he has been drunk ever
since I knew him."
"Didn't he?now be calm, madam, control
yourself?didn't he have a life insurance
policy ?"
"No. Stop, though. Yes, now I recollect
; he did have one, but that was a good
many years ago (sighing). He only made
one payment on it, and then let it run out."
"Where is that policy?"
"Ihin'no. Kickin' round the house some
where, I 'spose. Saw it in an old barrel in
the loft, last time I remember it; that's well
on to a dozen years ago. But what use is it ?
It's run out long ago."
"Madam," said I, impressively, scarcely
able to repress my emotions for fear the policy
was lost, "the company I represent never allows
any policy it has issued to run out, no
matter if nothing has been paid on it"
With this she hastened into the loft, and to
my unspeakably joy [here the insurance man
jproduced a pocket handkerchief and wiped
away some tears] she soon returned with the
policy I had been searching for fifteen years,
torn some, 'tis true, and considerably soiled,
but for the most part there. The endorsement
was torn off, but the signature of our
President was all right, and that was enough.
Thereupon I paid the oveijoyed woman fifteen
thousand dollars, the amount of the premium."
"And the man not dead yet?" I inquired.
"Well, yes," said the insurance man, "he
tear /lno/1 /-Jriir>lr Knf n\\r nAmnonr c\rfltu
any fine distinctions under such circumstances."
We all wept at this touching recital, and
one of the party could not refrain from catching
tl* good old man in his arms and embracing
him.?Cincinnati Times.
An Instructive Scene.?As Senator Sumner
was emerging from the Capitol the other
morning, he was confronted by an aged Fifteenth
Amendment, who, hat in haud, and
bowiDg and scraping, remarked:
"I believe dis Massa Sumner ?"
"No, sir!?there are no masters in this
land?I am Senator Sumner."
This nearly squelched the old darkey, but
he rallied with the remark, "You's done a
heap for de culler'd race."
"I am proud to hear you say so," responded
v the magnificent Chawles.
"De niggers all speak of you in de highest
elevation."
Sumner bowed and smiled his acknowledgments.
"What I was coming at, Boss, is dat de
winter's hard and de times pretty rough to de
ole woman and I, and if you could spare de
old darkey half a dollar?"
Sumner stopped no further, but with a majestic
wave of disapproval from the Senatorial
hand he moved on, while the venerable
colored brother muttered something about
"don't appear to keer much for the niggers
'cept to vote and git der name3 up." Just
then Sam Cox came along and gave the poor
old darkey a dollar. Cox is called a copperhead.
How a Reputation Tells.?The Hon.
William Hack, Speaker of the Indiana House
of Representatives, tells the following story:
A distinguished gentleman of Terre Haute
informed me that one evening last Summer,
when he was at the house of a prominent Re
I publican of the city, he witnessed a number
of little children, from seven to twelve years
of age, amusing themselves by playing charades.
You are familiar with the mode of
playing. The company divides, a few go out
of the room, select words, return, and act it
out by syllables so those in the room may
guess it The word emigrant was selected.
Well, after they had made out "em," and "i,"
a syllable was left, which chanced to be the
name of the President. A little girl entered,
and, after bowing to a little boy seated in the
room, and handing him a package, said:
"here is a present worth $10,000; don't open
it." Then came a little boy, who says: "We
have just bought for you a very nice house."
Then came a third, not more than eight years
old, leading a large Newfoundland dog, almost
as tall as himself, and said: "I nave
brought you a nice pup, and I want to be
postmaster." At this a dozen voices shouted,
"Grant," "Grant," "Emigrant."

IfiT A citizen of Illinois wrote to a piano- j
forte maker in Chicago for a $400 piano. It,
was sent to him. A few weeks afterward,
the manufacturer received a note from the
purchaser, saying, my wife and me can't find !
the key to wind the darned thing up, send it
to us right off, and tell us how to make the
critter squawk.
A lawyer in Connecticut, not remarkable
for cleanliness of person, appeared at a party
with a rose in his button-hole. "Where do
you suppose it came from ?" asked he of a
brother lawyer who was admiring it. The
latter, with great deliberation, responded,
"Why, I suppose it grew there."
?
t&T Wife, do you know that I have got the
pneumonia ?" "New monia, indeed! Such
extravagance! You're the spendthriftiest man j
I ever did see?to go and lay out your money

The man "who couldn't find his match"

TROUBLES.
In the Scriptures there is no attempt to
conceal the fact that the righteous are the
subjects of sore afflictions. On the contrary,
it is frequently stated in plain unequivocal
language, that "many are the afflictions of j
the righteous." The most eminently pious
men whose history is related in the Bible,
discloses to the view of the most cursory reader,
the fact that their lives were full of trou- i
ble. Abraham, whose faith will ever be proverbial,
was no exception. In the providence
of God, he was called to leave his home and
kindred and sojourn in a strange land. The
treatment which the venerable patriarch rereived
at the hands of those amoncst whom
he dwelt, was not always even courteous.!
Isaac, the child of promise, was often in great |
straits. Jacob had a hard time of it. Many i
were the times that he had a heavy heart, j
In sorrow, he fled from home to seek refuge
from the vengeance of his brother Esau, in
the house of his uncle Laban. During his
stay in Padanarain, various were the scenes
through which he was called to pass. Cheated
and swindled by his father-in-law, he was
forced by the necessities of his increasing
family, to flee away from his oppressor, and
seek a home in the country of his father.
No doubt Jacob left Padanaram in great
distress of mind. He dreaded the avenging
wrath of his brother Esau, and the covetous
disposition of Laban. We have abundant
evidence that sleep left his eyes, and that he
spent many a night in wrestling with God,
that he might be delivered from those who
sought his overthrow. God did deliver him
from both Laban and Esau, and he was permitted
to pitch his tent in peace in Shechem
before the city Shalera. Perhaps the careworn
refugee thought that his toils of body,
and anxiety of mind, were at an end. But
how short is human vision. The aged patriarch
is thrust unexpectedly into the midst of
heart rending troubles. Dinah, his only j
daughter, aud the pride and delight of the
whole family, is betrayed in an evil hour, and
the heart of the father is filled with grief,
such as he had never experienced before, and
the souls of Simeon and Levi are filled with
deceit and resentment which caused them to
perpetrate an act which threw Jacob into trepidation,
lest his race be exterminated, and
his name blotted out forever.
The history of Jacob from beginning to end
is curious, interesting, and very instructive.
It cannot be said that the family of Jacob
was a happy one. Leah and her sister Rachel
and those two handmaids Zilpah and
Bilhah were in continual broils. No doubt
Jacob heard their bickerings with shame, and
it may be that his own conscience smote him
for living in open violation of the ordinance
of God. Be this as it may, Joseph was sold
by his brethren into slavery, and Jacob was
led to say: "I will go down to the grave
mourning for my son."
How Jacob finished his career we cannot
positively tell. Spiritually, we know from
the teachings of the Bible, that it was happy;
and we have no sort of doubt but Jacob is today
in heaven. His secular affairs were not
pleasant. If it had been the will of God, Jacob
would much rather he had been permitted
to finish his pilgrimage in the land of
Canaan. If he ever learned the treatment
which Joseph received at the hand6 of his
brothers, there can be little doubt- but he died
dreading what might be the result of things
after his demise. The whole life of Jacob
was full of trouble and anxiety. With propriety
it could be called an eventful life.
Sometimes in the midst of great prosperity,
and again in the midst of the deepest adversity.
Such is the history of every man. There
is no exception to the general rule announced |
by the patriarch Job. "Man that is born of
woman is of few days and full of trouble."
Everybody has trouble. Every family is full
of trouble. All parents that are worthy of
the name, have anxious hearts. Some are
anxious about their sons, others about their
daughters. Not unfrequently a smile is a
thin gauze-like covering by which it is attempted
to hide an aching heart. Why are
not the people of God delivered from those
sore trials such as those through which Jacob
was called to pass ? It is very easy to ask
questions that no mortal can auswer. This is
one of those dark places in providence that
none but an omnicient God can see into. It
is, however, not contrary to a gracious dispensation.
There are thousands of things in
nature analogous to it. The tender hearted
mother pours by force bitter drugs down the
throat of her sick child. The child dreads
the bitter of the medicine, the mother dreads
the results of the sickness of the child, and is
anxious for its speedy restoration to perfect
health. God looks at final results; man in a
spiritual point of view, never looks beyond
the present.
It is worthy of note, that whilst the Bible
plainly declares that the troubles which afflict
the righteous are many, it always as
plainly declares that the Lord delivers them
out of all their troubles. With regard to the
wicked, the declaration of the Bible simply is
that: "Many sorrows shall be to the wicked."
The carnal mind desires pleasure; but pleasure
is inconsistent with holiness. God desires
that his people be holy in body, soul and
spirit.
If it be asked could not God sanctify his
people without so severely afflicting them,
we answer both no and yes. So far as power
is concerned, God is omnipotent; but so
foi- qq Vinlinpjjq. iustice. goodness aud truth are
, i?? 9 J CJ
concerned, God cannot do any other way than
that which he has revealed in his word. We
would intimate that it is foolish, yes it is
more, it is very wicked to ask any such questions.
Our duty is to obey implicitly and
suffer patiently and ask no questions.
God designs affliction for our good, and
there is no doubt but afflictions are beneficial
to the righteous. They are medicine to the
soul. They seem like they would kill, but
they cure. They are the refining furnace which
burns up the dross and leaves the gold pure
and bright.
A Plan in Life.?"What is your plan in
life, Neddie?" I asked a small boy, turning
from his big brothers, who were talking about
theirs, to which he and I had been listening;
"what is yours, Neddie?"
"I am not big enough for a plan yet," said
Neddie, "but I have a purpose."
"That is good ; it is not every one who has
a purpose. What is your purpose Neddie ?"
"To grow up a good boy, so as to be a good
man, like my father," said Neddie.
And by the way he said it, it was plain he
meant it. His father was a noble Christian
man, and Neddie could not do better than
follow in his steps. A boy with such a pur- j
pose will not fail of his mark.

PIETY IN CHILDHOOD.
By common consent, it is not generally;
expected that children will give any mani- J ^
festations of piety. The manners and cus- (
toms of the land in which we live are such as
to make religion the last thing that is attended
to. Every book is read, even the paper i
backed novel is read before the Bible. Chil- s
dren are taught geography, grammar, arith- j ^
metic and nearly everything else ; but almost j ^
nothing about religion. The result is the j t
youth of our laud take no interest in religion. 1
They look upon it as a melancholy subject, i c
Parents very rarely talk to their children on j1
religious subjects, or if they do, it is in such a ; 1
way, and at such times as to give the minds i g
of their offspring a distaste for all such con-' ]
versation. The children of such parents are 1 t
not to be blamed for being rude. The blame [ s
lies upon the father and mother. !
There is no book in the world so full of in- j \
terest as the Bible. There is not a little boy 11
or girl in the whole world that is not delighted
with the historical parts of the Bible. The 8
reason children do not read it more, is simply i
because they are not informed about its con- t
tents. Now children, if you actually desire to 8
1? ..?P..1 ? ?? J um orJviao vAll
LUUKtt U&tJIUi mcu auu nuuicu, nu uuiiuv j
to read the Bible. We do not say you must
read no other book. All that we say is, be
sure and read the Bible. Some of you may
never have read it much, and some of you
may have read it under the lash, and hence,
in either case, know nothing about it. We
cannot point out all of the advantages which
you would derive by a careful perusal of the
Bible. It will not be amiss to mention a few.
It will give you a kind of dignity that you
cannot acquire from any other source. You
may study all the arts and sciences, but if you
are ignorant of the science which is taught in
the Bible, you never can bo polished in your
behavior toward God. The Bible teaches us
how to act toward God and man. You will
never be placed in so great darkness but you
will be able to see your way out if you take
the Bible for your light.
But one of the greatest blessings young persons
derive from studying the Bible, is that
their hearts are softened and their consciences ^
enlightened. A cruel, hard hearted man, we ^
call a monster, and such he really is; but a s
cruel, hard hearted child, is worse than a
monster, it is a fiend in miniature. There is ?
a large portion of the Bible that is specially r
adapted to soften and mold the young heart.
It does seem that those children which are \
never taught the principles of the Bible, and t
consequently have no piety, are coarse and *
rough. They are prone to rob birds' nests, v
steal the fruit out of orchards, and a thousand 8
little mean and cruel acts that those children
which imbibe the principles of the Bible never
do. There is another reason why little
boys and girls should read the Bible. It is
the last we will mention, but in every respect n
it is the greatest of all reasons. It is this: s
God always blesses those who give their hearts
to him when vouner. He promises them eve- a
ry comfortable blessing during this life, and e
a seat at his right hand as their eternal re- J"
ward. "They that seek me early shall find '
me," is the plain declaration of God. The ^
old grey headed sinner may find God a God
of mercy, and receive the pardon of his sins s
and the acceptance of his person and service; E
but the child that comes to God is sure to find ^
a hearty acceptance. Which, children, is the ?
best, to waste all your time in idleness and
wicked sport, or to devote your hearts to the v
service of God ? Which will end best ? We c
know you can have no hesitancy in answering p
this question. Then see to it that you give v
your heart to God. You may be sorry for a
some acts and deeds of your childhood, but
never will you blush because you read the g
Bible when a child and imbibed its holy pre- a
cepts. The world never saw the man who f
regretted that he loved God when he was a t
child.

"I'LL BE A SOLl)IEB.'? f
"I'll be a soldier when I'm a man," said a 9
stout little boy one day, as he brandished a j1
tin sword, which had been given him for a
Christmas present. 11
"A soldier, Robert," replied the boy's moth- a
er, "why do you wish to be a soldier ? Do v
you think it would be a pleasant business to 9
kill people, and batter down towns and cities 1
with big guns and bombs?" I
Robert had not thought of the killing, which s
is the soldier's proper business; so he said? v
"No, mother, I don't want to kill people;
but I should like to wear a laced coat, a plume ?
in my hat, and a sword at my side. I think v
it is Very fine, too, to march in a company, 11
with a noble band at the head playing a live- *
ly tune."
"Ah, my child, you are deceived by false t
appearances. Soldiers do not enlist merely to j
dress in pretty clothes, and march through t
the streets to the music of a lively band. ^
They enlist to learn how to kill their enemies.
Their proper business is to put men to death. v
Surely, my own dear boy cannot wish to learn g
such a trade." g
"No mother, I don't want to learn to kill c
people; but I do want to be a soldier. Was a
not my grandfather a soldier?" a
" Y our grandfather was not a soiuier Dy pro- t
fession, my son. His country was in danger c
of losing its liberties, and he united with his 0
countrymen to defend his native land against g
the enemies of its freedom. He had no choice
but to fight or be a slave. In that case, he r
thought it his duty to become a soldier, and c
fight in defence of his country's rights. But t
he always thought war to be among the worst j
of evils, and had no love for the life of a soldier."
I c
"Is that a picture of my grandfather on the '
wall?" asked Robert, pointing to an oil paint- r
ing of a soldier just returned from the wars, a
which hung upon the parlor wall.
"No, RoDert. The man in that picture is (
a soldier by profession. He has been on a j,
campaign, and has just returned from a vie- c
tory which ended the war. His wife looks j
very happy; but the poor lady suffered great s
anxiety during his absence. Had he been g
killed, his death might have broken her heart; c
and those little children you see in the pic- t
ture would have been left orphans." j
"But he wasn't killed, mother, was he ?" 8
"No, my son; but thousands of others were. r
Every battle hurries hundreds of men to death,
makes hundreds of women widows, hundreds |
of children fatherless. Should you like to be j c
a soldier and kill little boys' lathers 7" I
I "No, mother; I don't want to kill anybody." i
"Then you must not be a soldier." a
"No, mother, I won't be a soldier." c
"That's right, my dear boy. You must t
not grow up to be a man of blood." i
"But suppose my country should be inva- t
ded?may I be a soldier then?" asked Rob- t
ert, looking thoughtfully at his mother. i
"If, when you are a man, foreign armies
invade our shores, it may be your duty to imitate
your patriotic grandfather, and, like the
Father of your country, buckle on the sword }
and become a soldier of liberty. In that case,
if I am a alive, I will see you to the field with
my blessing on your head, and my prayer for
your success."
Here Robert kissed his mother, and, running
off to play, soon forgot all about his wish
to be a soldier. But he never saw a compa- r
ny of soldiers afterwards without thinking of s
his mother's words, and saying to himself, c
"I'll never be a soldier unless I am called to a
defend my country against an invader's s
sword." e

IRISH POTATOES. ]
We are dependent on the Northern supply \ J
or this vegetable during the winter months, j1
^an they be raised and kept for winter use ?"]'
Potatoes, in this latitude, are planted from i
Tanuary to April. Beyond the latter month i'
t is not easy to keep them sound, as they I(
prout and exhaust their vitality.
They are harvested from May to July.'
Sven those planted as late as possible, are '
till grown by the latter month. If left in j ^
he ground they become watery and worth-. ^
ess. If harvested carefully, allowed to dryj1
iff in the shade, and then housed in a cool ana j'
Iry room, they keep moderately well, though nuny
will rot in spite of every precaution;
ind toward autumn they become more or less
hrivelled, and lose the plumpness, which the {Northern
potato has. I hey are also disposed
o sprout, and thus lose a portion of their
larcny niauer. I.
The only way to have good potatoes for
vinter use, is to plant a second crop about .
Tuly or August. If they come up well, the
rines have full time before frost to mature,
tnd the tubers are fresh, plump and sound, ,
ind keep well through the winter without
otting. But just here lies the difficulty, viz : !
he uncertainty of their germinating in mid- ?
ummer. !
There seems to be a want of vitality or ex- .
stability in the buds when taken freshly from j
he earth, and unless kept for a time, so that
:ertain chemical changes may take place in ;
he tuber, and the buds become mature, and
heir excitability increased, but a small pw-<]
)ortion will germinate. ?lipfl
I will state a plan which I have ad^^Ti
vith moderate success:
The vines which mature earliest are first 1
larvested. The tubers are selected from 1
hese, of good average size, aud as having the
test developed and most mature looking buds,
md spread out carefully in a shaded place, '
sither under cover, or out of doors. The
onger they can be kept in this way the more r
:ertain they are of germinating. Some vari?- i
ies seem better adapted for this purpose than ^
ithers, though much depends upon the pre- _
rious season for perfecting and maturing the
ubers. Last summer, among several differ- j
snt kinds planted in July, the Early Goodrich (
md Garnet Chili caineup best. There seem- (
id to be but little difference whether they {
vere cut or planted whole. They should be ]
)lanted from middle of July to first of Aujust,
in a seed bed like sweet potatoes, and j
vhen about four to six inches high, may be j
et out where they are to grow.
This plan ensures a regular stand, and(^

HOW TO PREfENT GALLING.
Aii ounce of preventive la worth more than a pound of cure."
As the weather begins to grow warm, far- *
uers will often be annoyed by the galled '
houlders of their horses.
There are few things more painful to look '
,t, than a poor horse wincing and baulking at 1
very root which comes against the plough, 1
rhile tho ploughman is slashing him with the (
ine and goading him into passion, for his '
estiveuess under the torture of a sore shoul- 1
ler. 1
The planter must look to these trifles him- (
elf. He may rest assured that Sambo will (
lever trouble himself further than to cram a *
iandful of mullen leaves or old rags under I
he collar at the very point where they should
lot be put.
In using a new collar, it is best always to- j
ret Sjt thoroughly before you put it on the anUi J
oal. A few hours use will give it a set to tha (
>eculiar formation of the shoulder, which it *
pill always keep. The same collar should <
lways be used for the same horse. There is 1
10 worse practice than shifting gear upon a I
ilantation. Every horse should have his own j
;ear, and it should never be used for another, j
,nd every laborer should be held responsible '
or its condition. We prefer the common 1
lark or shuck collar to any other kind.
If the shoulder should become galled, a pad |
>f cotton may be put on so as to keep the J
iressure off the sore. A little neat's-foot oil *
.pplied every day will heal it up. It is best, 1
lowever, when the first appearance of a bruise
3 noted, to apply spirits turpentine. But it i
3 better still, to prevent such mischief. We <
,lways keep at the stable a bottle of vinegar j
pith a few spoonsful of alum dissolved in it, I
,nd require the shoulders to be washed with 1
t when the horse comes in at noon and night, i
f it be inconvenient to use this solution, a i
trong decoction of oak bark will answer a i
cry good purpose. This astringent prepara- '
ion toughens the shoulder and prevents the <
jailing, and if a little oil should be applied
phen the galled parts first appear, the aui- I
oal can be worked and the sore healed per- j
ectly in a little while. i

Color of Horses.?A writer in the Coun- j
ry Gentleman says: The dark chestnut and
he dark brown, so far as my experience goes, j
hey and the blood bay, are more exempt from ,
lisease than any other color, if we except the ,
_ . 1 ii_J .i
lun, Or as II IS tjrruneuusijr utuiuu me ujcuuj,
phich is much objected to. Dappled or dark
;rays are subject to the fungus excrescence,
ommonly called warts. Black horses are, acording
to my experience, more subject to
.ffection of the eyes than any other color;
.lso, in feet, they are, as a rule, faulty, and
hough pretty, are not of a vigorous, rugged
onstitution. What horseman does, of his
>wn experience, know what the different
hades of sorrel are subject to ? They are, as
i rule, the most skittish. Who, among expeienced,
good horsemen, does not know that
if all the balky horses he has known, at least
nore than half were light sorrels. For inteligence,
general usefulness, for beauty and for
ill purposes for which the horse may be re[uired,
the above three colors, (dark chesnut,
lark brown and bay,) will fill the bill. Let
10 persons for a moment understand nuLtcfc.
iffirm that there are no good, yea, very good <

until it becomes clear; then pour it I

Officiousness in Sickness.?Officious j
people can never leave things alone. No one i
;an possess his soul in peace, or go his own j
way unhindered of thera. They stand at the !
crossroad of all men's lives, pointing out to
them the path they onght to take, and, whethjr
in religious faith or in house furnishing, the
ffioice of a wife or the pattern of a boot, have
their word to say, their advice to give, and '
their fingers to dip, whatever may be the pie
that is making. Illness is one of their strong 1
points, and if they hear that you are indisposed,
whether slightly or gravely, they rush
off to proffer advice which you do not want
xnd will not accept, and which probably
would turn out a mistake if you did accept. 1
Your disinfectant is not equal to theirs, and |
they have brought you the name and address j
jf the chemist where you can get theirs,
your nurse does not know her business; let!
them send for one of their own choosing tonight.
Your medical man says you are suffer- ;
ing from a certain form of illness. Well, of
sourse, he ought to know; but to the officious
it seems very much like something else ; or, if
they do not go quite so far, they enquire, with
Lb " ?* ? "11 mUnf liAM KA

had not ordered such and such things to be
done; and, if you say no, they urge you to
have their own medical man without delay,
as they are so sure yours is making a mistake.
And so on till they have worried you
into a fever; when they take their leave and
bewail your obstinacy to the next corner.
And calamity is a godsend to them, for they
have their innings when their neighbors are
prostrate by distress that they can buzz about
them at their will. They are self-naturalized
Samaritans, physicians without diplomas,
ministers independent of order of succession;
and the unlucky ones whom it is their pleasare
to assist must either keep them off with a
strong arm, which may lead to a quarrel, or
yield themselves helplessly into their active
and officious hands.
Married Without Knowing it.?A Mr.
Thomas Cooper, an Englishman, has published
an account of his travels in Thibet,
which he visited disguised as a Chinaman.
A.inong his stories is the following:
He was iust halting for breakfast, after
leaving the Thibetan town of Bathang, when
i group of young girls, gayly dressed and
Jecked with garlands of flowers, came out of
i grove and surrounded him, some of them
holding his mule, while others assisted him to
ilight. He was then led into a grove, where
he found a feast being prepared, and after he
bad eaten and smoked his pipe, the girls came
up to him again, "pulling along in their midst
iprettv girl of sixteen, attired in a silk dress,
ind adorned with garlands of flowers." "I
bad already noticed," Mr. Cooper continues,
'this girl sitting apart from the others during
die meal, and was very much astonished
when she was reluctantly dragged up to me
ind made to seat herself by my side; and my
istonishment was considerably heightened
ivhen the rest of the girls began to dance
wound in a circle, singing and throwing their
jarlijnds over myself and ray companion."
The meaning of this performance was, howev;f,
soon made clear to Mr. Cooper. He had
been married without knowing it. At first he
tried to escape the liability entailed upon him,
but such an outcfy was made by all the people
around that he was forced to carry off his
aride. He managed to get rid of her before
very long by transferring her to one of her
elations, but even that was not treated as a
lisolution of the marriage. On his way back
le was joined one day by a Thibetan dame, of
ibout thirty years old, who announced herself
is his wife's mother, and she had come, with
the consent of her husband, to supply her
laughter's place. We can well imagine Mr.
hooper's surprise at meeting with this novel
proposal on the part of his mother-in-law.
Hebeas Corpus.?The Montgomery, Alabama,
Advertiser revives the anecdote of the !
interview of Mr.. Henry Laurens, of South
Carolina, in 1780, with Lord Shelburne, when
the writ of habeas corpus became the subject
)f conversation. Mr. Laurens was appointed
minister to Holland by the Continental Congress
in 1780, he was captured before reaching
bis destination, and detained in the Tower of
London for more than a year. In the meantime,
the able Lord Shelburne became premier
ind Laurens was released, and even treated
tvith great kindness by the British officials.
On one occasion, while he was dining with
Lord Shelburne, the conversation turned on
the independence of the American colonies,
when Lord Shelburne quietly observed :
"I am sorrvfor vour people." "Why so?"
asked Laurens. "They will lose the habeas
yyrpus," was the reply. "Lose the habeas corous!"
said Laurens. "Yes," said Lord Shelburne.
"We purchased it with centuries of
wrangling, many years of fighting, and had
it confirmed by at least fifty Acts of Parliament.
All this taught the nation its value,
and it is so ingrained into their creed as the
eery foundation of their liberty, that no man
or party will ever dare trample on it. Your
people will pick it up and attempt to use it;
but having cost them nothing tney will not
know how to appreciate it At the first great
internal feud that you have the majority will
trample on it, and the people will permit it to
b^idone, and so will go your liberty."
In view of the ku-klux and bayonet election
bills, it would seem as if these ominous
anticipations had been literally verified. Let
as hope, however, that this is but a brief episode,
the long continuance of which the people
will not permit. i
How We Go to Sleep. The immediate
antecedents of sleep?as languor, a sensation
>f weight in the upper eye-lids, partial tempo- j
rary relaxation of certain muscles, as shown
by the nodding and dropping of the head upon
;he breast, comparative obtuseness to external ;
mpressions, yawning, etc., call for no special
remark. The order in which the muscles lose ,
their power is, however, deserving of a pas- :
sing notice. The muscles which move the
arms and legs usually become relaxed before
;hose which support the head, and the latter
before those which maintain the body in an
srect position. There are, however, many ex- 1
;eptions to this rule, as may be seen in church 1
)^a hot Sunday, when some of the cougrega- i
Hire almost certain to be seen with their 1
jhins quietly resting on their breasts, but yet 1
quietly grasping their prayer-books. Moreover,
in relation to the special senses, that of 1
sight is first lost, the closing of the eyelids set- !
ting up a barrier between the retina and the
oxternal world; but, independently of the
oyelids?if they have been removed by the
surgeon, or cannot be closed through disease?
the light is still the lirst sense wnose iuncuon
is abolished. Some animals, as the hare, do
not shut their eyes when asleep; and in cases
af somnambulism the eyes remain open, although
the sense of light is temporarily lost.
The other senses, as Dr. Hammond tells us,
are not altogether abolished, but their acuteaess
is much lessened. Taste is first to disappear,
and then smell; hearing follows; and
touch is the most persistent of the senses. So,
conversely, a person is most easily awakened
by touch, next in order by sound, and then
by smell.
^Good Health as an Element of Success.?It
is no exaggeration to say that health
is a large ingredient in what the world calls
talent. A man without it may be a giant in J
intellect, but his deeds will be the deeds of a j
Iwarf. On the contrary, let him have a quick j
jirculation, a good digestion, the bulk, thews !
ind sinews of a man, and the alacrity, the un-1
thinking confidence inspired by these, and, i
though, having but a thimbleful of brains, he J
tvill either blunder upon success or set failure
it defiance. It is true, especially in this coun;ry,
that the number of centaurs in every
community?of men in whom heroic intellects (
ire allied with bodily constitution as tough as
lorees?is small; that in general a man has <
eason to think himself well off in the lottery :
>f life if he draws the prize of a healthy sto
raach without a mind, or the prize of a fine in-!
tellect with a crazy constitution. A pound of j
energy with an ounce of talent, will achieve
greater results than a pound of talent with
an ounce of energy. The first requisite to
success in life is to be a good animal. In any
of the learned professions a vigorous constitution
is equal to at least fifty per cent, more
brains. With judgment, imagination, eloquence,
all the qualities of the mind attain
thereby a force and splendor to which they
could never attain without it. But intellect
in a weakly body is "like gold in a spent
swimmer's pocket." A mechanic may havo
tools of the sharpest edge and highest polish,
but what are these without a vigorous nand?
Of what use is it that your mind has become a
vast granary of knowledge, if you have not
strength to turn the key?
Ladies' Ready-Made Clothing.?The |
prediction that the time would come when it
would be as rare for women to make the clothing
for thejgmily as it is now for them to spin
and weavc^Je cloth, is rapidly being fulfilled.
rn ? ? ?1? a ; l
len years ago mere were ouiy two uiipuriuiib
ladies' furnishing houses in New York city,
and the business of those was wholly confined
to the costly bridal and other outfits of a few
wealthy persons. To-day the ladies' and children's
furnishing houses are as numerous as
the dry-goods and thread and needle stores ;
in fact, one of either hardly exists without
the other in any part of New York city. The
style and workmanship of the garments found
at these establishments vary, of course, but
are generally very indifferent. They have
improved, however, very much within the
past year, and some houses now furnish underclothing
of all kinds, well cut and neatly
made, at the bare retail cost of material and
labor. Factory-made under-clothing is turned
out in such immense quantities that it is a
marvel where it all goes to. It is ill cut and
wretchedly made, and therefore cannot be
called cheap, even at the low prices at which
it is sold, but it must find many purchasers,
or it would not continue in demand.
letter from New York.
The Crust of the Earth.?If you bury
a thermometer fifty feet below the surface of
the earth, the mercury will remain at the
same point the year round, in winter and
summer, showing that the influence of the sun
does not reach below that depth. If we carry
the thermometer fifty feet lower, the mercury
will rise one degree, and will rise in the same
ratio for every fifty feet we go down. It can

substances will melt. This would not exceed
fifty miles. It will thus be seen that the
crust?or solid part of the earth is exceedingly
thin, in proportion to the diameter ; not so
thick as an egg-shell, in proportion to the
size of the egg. With a crust so thin, constantly
cooling, and producing a pressure upon
the internal masses, it is not strange that the
bed of oceans should be elevated in a single
day, and whole cities have been sunk in that
space of time. The side of a volcanic mountain
once broke away, and the livid masses
flowed out, forming a river twelve miles wide,
which in its 'ourse, melted down six hills 600
feet high, filli. 3 up valleys 600 feet deep, and
spreading over a surface of 1,100 square
miles.?fir. Roynton.
?
The Holy Land.?Several years ago, a
society for the prosecution of researches and
discoveries in the Holy Land was formed in
England. The examinations made under its
auspices have brought to light a number of
interesting matters. Last year an American
society was formed with the same object. It
hus been arranged with the parent society that
the Americans shall pursue their explorations
East of the river Jordan, a region of country
hitherto comparatively unexplored. It is estimated
that $10,000 will suffice, according to
the plan of the society, to carry out this purpose
for the first year. Among the discoveries
already made have been the buried foundations
of the ancient temple, the Moabite
stone, the pavement of the ancient city, worn
smooth by the tread of Jews who lived and
moved in the days of our Saviour, and the
ancient bed of the brook Kedrou, whose
waters flowed by the base of Mount Moriah.

city a few days since, and worked to the entire
satisfaction of those who witnessed its
performance. It turned in a space not greater
than its own length, and made good time
in the heavy sand near Cohen's wharf. It is
eight horse-power, weighs five tons, and is
calculated to draw fifteen or twenty tons. It
was built by the Grant Locomotive Works,
at Patterson, New Jersey, at a cost of $5,000,
for the Central Railroad Company, and their
introdution into Georgia is reduced to a fixed
fact.

"Papa," said a bright-eyed little girl one
day, "I believe mamma loves you better'n she
does me." Papa held doubts on that subject,
but concluded that it was not best to deny the
soft impeachment. She meditated thoroughly
about it for some time, evidently construing
her father's silence as unfavorable to her side.
"Well," said she at last, "I s'pose it's all right;
you're the biggest, and it takes more to love
you."
