Humorous ?epartmcut. A MILD MANNERED MAN. A certain mining superintendent on the Comstock range, in White Pine, Nevada, who shall be nameless here, has the smoothest way of doing all manner of unpleasant news of any man above the sod. He may be said to oil the very hinges of the world as he moves along through it. The superintendent never makes things "rough" for any one where he can just as well make them smooth. As an instance, he had some men working in a drift in his mine who were inclined to take things easy. Visiting them, he examined the rock in the face of the drift, saying : "My dear boys, this rock seems very hard." "Very hard," said they. "It's too bad, too bad, that it should be so hard," said he, slyly making a mark ou the rock near the face of the drift, "terrible work to get it out," added he. "Terrible," said they. "Too bad," said he, "but do the best you can, ray children." - The next day he again made his appearance in the drift. Examining the rock in its face, he saw that no perceptible advance had been made beyond his mark. "I see," said he, "that rock is still as hard as ever." "No change," said the men. "Well, well; it's too bad that we can get no change. The rock is so hard that I hardly know what we shall do. It is hard on you, my children, but I hope it will not worry you much longer. Take care of yourselves !" and up to the surface he goes, finds his foreman, and thus addresses him : "See here, those infernal loafing devils in that southeast drift hain't made two inches in the last two days. Curse such men. When they come up give them their time." Strolliug along C street during the afternoon the superintendent meets the "children" of the southeast drift who have received their walking papers and are starting out in search j of "new worlds to conquer." The superintendent is greatly surprised. "Why, hallo! my children, what are you doing up here at this time of day ? Has any- j thing happened at the mine ?" "No," say they, "nothing the matter, but the foreman has discharged us." "Discharged you, my children! I do not know what I shall do with that foremau. I never get a set of good, industrious men, but lie goes and discharges them. Too bad, too had, the way he uses me. Discharged my hast. men and the rnck in the drift so hard. too ! What ain I to do now I don't know. Well, well, good bye, my children ; we all have little trials in this world." ? At Work by the Day.?Snooks had occasion to call ou the Reverend Domiuie Thomas Campbell while ho was in Glasgow. "Is the dominie in?" he enquired of a portly dame who opened the door. "He's at hame, but he's nae in," replied the lady. "He's in the yaird, sooperintenden' Sauners, the carpenter. Ye can see him the noo if your business is vera precise." Snooks assented, and walked through the door pointed out to him, into the yard, where he beheld a carpenter briskly planing away to the tune of "Maggie Lauder," and the worthy dominie standing by. Unwilling to intrude on tneir couversauou, Snooks stepped, unseen, behind a water cask and heard, "Sauners !" No answer from the carpenter. "Sauners, I say! Can ye no hear me?" "Yes, minister, I hear ye. What's your wull ?" "Can ye no whistle some mair solemn and godly tune while ye're at your work ?" "Aweel, minister, if it be your wull, I'll e'en do it." Upon which he changed the air to the "Dead March" in Saul, greatly to the hindrance of what was now painful plaining. The dominie looked on for some minutes in silence, and then said, "Sauners, I hae anither word to say till ye. Did the gude wife hire ye by the day's darg or by the job?" "The day's darg was our agreeing, minister." "Then, on the whole, Sauners, I think ye may just as weel gae back to whistling bonnie 'Maggie Lauder.'" "He."?Highlanders have the habit, when tnlk-inor their English, such as it is. of inter ; --o n ' jecting the personal pronoun "he" where not required?such as "The King he has come," iustead of "The King has come." Often, in consequence, a sentence or an expression is reudered sufficiettly ludicrous, as the sequel will show. A gentleman says he has had the pleasure of listening to a clever man, the Rev. Mr. , (let his locality be a secret,) and he began his discourse thus: "My friends you will find the subject of discourse, this afternoon, in the first Epistle general of the Apostle Peter, chapter 5th and verse 8th, in the words : 'The Devil he goeth about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.' Now, my friends, with your leave, we will divide the subject to-day into four heads. Firstly, we shall endeavor to ascertain 'Who the Devil he was.' Secondly, we shall inquire into his geographical position namely, 'Where the Devil he was,' and 'Where the Devil he was going.' Thirdly, and this is of a personal character. 'Who the Devil he was seeking.' And fourthly and lastly, we shall endeavor to solve the questiou which has never been solved yet?.'What the Devil he was roaring about.'" A Good Answer.?Iu giving reminiscen? ..c i 1 t ?: un.i?ii.nii o ,?o,, U1 VyUIUUt'I UCYI JUUUincilj a liu^u IIUUI Hi his day, the Montpelier Argus tells the following etory: "The colonel was uncommonly bald, and without his heavy dark wig looked not a bit like himself. Once he was in the wash room of the Pavilion, and for the convenience of his ablutions had laid his wig aside. Presently a young, spruce chap, with extremely red hair, came in. Noticing the colonel's nude head, he inquired, 'Well, uncle, why don't you have some hair 011 your head?' Looking savagely 011 the red head of the saucy young stranger, he replied, 'When they made me, and had me all finished except my hair, they told me that they had nothing left except red hair. I told them, then, 'Egad,' I wouldn't have any. I would rather go without. They might save that for impudent young popinjays and fools.' The young inquisitive and joker was perfectly willing to drop the subject." Thinking of tiie Neighbors.?Last week, at a little social gathering, a duet was being performed by two young ladies, to the apparent delight of all the assembled guests. The two executants were doing their utmost, ir\ n onrvtlinr nnil with cnr?li rrvnrl f?f feet that one could scarcely have heard the report of a cannon fifty yards off'. Every body was radiant, with the exception of one individual, to whom, at length, a friend addressed himself: "My dear fellow, what makes you so pensive ?" "Ah," was the reply, "I'm thinking of the neighbors." A Doctor's Memorandum.?A doctor called on a cholera patient and prescribed. Next day found the patient well. "Well," said the doctor, "the mediciue brought you out." "No, sir, I didn't take it." "What did you take ?" "I ate saur kraut and turnip sauce." So the doctor wrote in his memorandum, "Saur kraut and turnip sauce good for cholera." Next week another call. Irishman this time. Prescribed saur kraut and turnips. Next day called ; found Irishman dead. So he wrote opposite the memorandum "Saur kraut and turnips good for a Dutchman, but death to an Irishman." A Detroit policeman heard that a resi-i ? i TV-nlftV, of roof Via/I hoon hnrllv ininred. Ut'Il L Ui inciiiu ai?vv?u?? ? -J J J and he called at the house to obtain particulars. He found the man lying on the lounge, his head bound up and his face badly scratched, and he asked: "What is the matter; did you get run over or fall down stairs ?" "No, not exactly," replied his wife, "but he wanted to run the house his way, and I wanted to run it my way, and there he is." ^griotlfovxl ?epttmcnt. MANURING FOR CORN. j I have seen many inquiries and answers in J regard to manure and its use. I will now i tell the readers of your paper how we applied it, and cultivated the corn crop to which it was applied. In April of last year, about a month before we plowed the grouud, we ma: nured a part of our corn ground, drawing 110 j loads of coarse manure on four acres of ground. : In the manure, which was mostly from horses and cows, was mixed a great deal of straw and ; refuse cornstalks, and it was therefore quite | coarse. The field was in sod four years old, having | been mowed two years and pastured two. It j was about the 10th of May when we eommenI ced to plow, and by this time the grass had j growu up through the straw until it was about i four inches high. In plowing, we found a i great difference. "Where it had been manured, the ground was loose; and when it turned j over, it broke and fell into pieces and was j very mellow, and the work was much easier I for both team aud man. Where there was no i manure, it was hard ; and when turned up, it i remained unbroken and never worked down | as well as the other. Another part of the I field was mauured while we were plowing, j There was always a difference in the corn, and when we harvested the crop, the first manured j was much the best; and either portion was a I great deal better than where it had none. I j cannot give the exact yield, as it was not measured ; but we had 30 bushels shelled per acre of good corn, besides soft corn, which ve did not measure. The miller to whom we sold a | part of our crop, said it was the driest corn he | had bought. We began to plant our corn the 27th of I May, and it was planted three and a half feet i each way. We planted in fresh furrows, strij king our cross furrows as fast as we wanted to plant. The corn came up well, and when it was about two inches high, we put on it a i mixture of ashes and plaster. On account of ! very dry weather in June, we did not plow till ! it was nearly a foot high. The field was i clean ; the corn grew fast, and we thought it best to let it alone, rather than to work in it when it was so very dry. It was only plowed twice; the first time we threw the furrow away from the corn, and the next we threw up to the hills. On part of it the ridges were leveled with the hoe. It was cut and stocked in September; husked in November and December. Over half of it was caught in the snow, but we were not as badly off as some of our neighbors who laughed at our avtfa irnfL- in the anrincr nnrl hnd hilt, little ?v,.~ ? wj b , to busk. The field was very free from weeds, or I suppose we would have been obliged to give it more work. The corn grew so fast that it soon shaded the ground, and the weeds could not grow. At the time of cutting the corn, there was one spot in the field of about two square rods, which was full of weeds; and with that exception, and a few weeds around the fence, the field was remarkably clean. I will add that what culture we gave was thorough. We are so well satisfied with this way of manuring that we are doing the same this year, only drawing our manure earlier. Country Gentleman. Using Nails.?Every farmer, who has occasion to drive a nail into seasoned oak posts, knows its liabilities to bend and break. If the point be moistened iu the mouth it will usually drive more kindly. Oil is much better, but then it is inconvenient to dip each nail separately into it. Another point is, I that boards become loose eventually from the rusting of the nails, which, communicating to the wood, causes not only an enlargement of the nail hole, but the wearing away of the nail itself, rendering the fence or building shaky and insecure. This may be prevented by heating any rough grease until it smokes, and then pouring it over the nails to be used. The grease will penetrate the pores of the ' iron, and cause the nails to last without rusting, for an indefinite period. Besides this, 110 difficulty will then be experienced in driving them into the hardest wood. The reason I is, that the coating of the grease prevents contact by air, and consequently oxidation. Oxj ygen is the inducing cause. Anything which | kept from coutact with the air is preserved j indefinitely, and if it is kept dry, the effect is j measurably the same. Paint upon buildings prevents the contact of air and moisture. If the whole fence cannot be painted, the heads at least of the nails should be touched therein. Tiie Tomato.?Dr. Bennett, a professor of some celebrity, considers it as an invaluable article of diet, and ascribes to it very important medical properties: 1 Thnf flip fnmnto is one of the most now j erful aperients of the Materia Medica, and that in all those affections of the liver and or{gaus where calomel is indispensable, it is I probably the most effective and least harmful remedial agent kuown to the profession. I 2. That a chemical extract pill can be ob| taiued from it which will altogether supercede j the use of calomel in the cure of disease. 3. That he has successfully treated diarrluca j with this article alone. 4. That when used as an article of diet it is j almost a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia or ini digestion. 5. That the citizens in ordinary, should i make use of it either raw, cooked, or in the j form of catsup with their daily food, as it is a most healthy article. : Permanent Whitewash.?With the re1 a | turn 01 spring come me usum imjumco mi i a good whitewash. We have only to repeat I the following directions given before, as foli lows: Take half a bushel of unslaked lime, I slake it with boiling water, covering it during j the process to keep in the steam ; strain the j liquid through a fine seive or strainer, and ; add to it a peck of salt previously well disI solved in water; three pounds ground rice I boiled to a thin paste and stirred in boiling ; hot; half a pound of Spanish whiting, and I a pound of clean glue which has been pre; viously dissolved by soaking it first, and then hanging over a slow fire in a small kettle inside a large one filled with water; add fve ! gallons of hot water to the mixture, stir it I well and let it stand a few days covered from 1 the dirt. It should be put on quite hot; for this purpose it can be kept in a kettle on a i furnace. A pint of this mixture will cover ! a yard square of the outside of a house, if ' applied with a large paiut-brush. Remedy for Horse Pawing in the Staid. e.?Take a piece of small chain, a foot long, put a smjill strap with a buckle through the end link, liud out which foot the horse paws with, and buckle the strap with the chain attached around the aukle. When he paws, it whips the other leg, and he dont't like to punish himseir, so gives up me practice I altogether. Put it on every night for a week ; after that take it off and he will not do it any more. Do not use this remedy on a horse that kicks the side of his stall. | To remove warts on horses, procure an ounce of concentrated muriatic acid, spirit of I salt, and apply to the top of the wart with a , thin pine stick, morning and night. The i acid forms a crust which is easily taken off each day until the wart is gone. It causes no pain, and in due time the hair will appear on the spot. Keep the acid well corked and out of reach of the children. Sore-Shouldered Mule.?Take a quaufiV nfwliit.fi nak bark, boil it down, in water, until strong. To two quarts of the liquid add one pound of alum, and use it freely on the mule's shoulders. I will guarantee a speedy cure. It is an excellent application for all horses' shoulders prior to beginning spring ' work. Treat Cows Gently.?Card freely, water regularly, and feed liberally. Nothing is better for a cow at calving than good hay and warm bran-mashes. Give all the water 1 the cow will drink, but for a week, after cali ving take the chill off it. Heading fat the JaMath.! ; CONDUCTED BY HEV. ROItEltT LATHAN. i FULLNESS OF CHRIST. j There are three special names or designa- j i tions of Him who in the eternal purpose is ,; presented to us as the Christ. The first of* J these is the Wisdom ; and the description of'; 1 this we have in the eighth chapter of Pro- : verbs. The second is the Word ; and it is of j this the Evangelist John speaks in his first | ' chapter. The third is the Son ; and of him j' i the Apostle Paul writes in the first chapter of the epistle to the Hebrews. , I Each of these three takes us back into the j past eternity. The Wisdom is eternal; the j' i Word is eternal; the Son is eternal. ! As the eternal Wisdom, he possessed all j : that we call knowledge or truth, in every j ' ! .iurt ounrw L-inil fII ] 1 i111 WPTf! "hid all I the troasures of wisdom and knowledge." ' (Col. 2: 3.) He was "the Wisdom of God;" 1 j and because he was so, he is made unto us ! Wisdom." (1. Cor. 4; 10.) As "the Wis! dom," he is "the Truth ;" not simply the dej pository or dispenser of the truth, but himself ' "the Truth as lie said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life." (John 14: 6.) As the eternal Word, he is the revealer of the mind of Godhead, l'or as it is by words ( i that we come into contact with the invisible ( ; mind, and know the thoughts and feelings . within, so it is by him, as the Word, that we j' ! are made acquainted with the mind of God. j Is it through him that God speaks to us, and j. it is in him that God shows us what he is. | \ "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." j Without him, the character of God would have been to us a blank, or utter darkness. ( "In the beginning was the Word, and the 5 | Word was with God, and the Word was God ; j and the same was in the beginning with God." As the Wisdom and the Word he is the light {C of the world; "for in him was life, and the * : life was the light of men." (John 1 : 4.) As j the revealer of Godhead, the uttcrer of the * divine mind, he is both the light and the life of men ; that life and light which speaks to 1 us oT the holy love of God, and invites us to ' become partakers of that love. As the eternal Son, he is "the brightness of 1 Jehovah's glory, and the express image of his person;" (Ileb. 1 : 2) distinct from the Fatli- j er, yet one with the Father; holding filial ( fellowship with the Father, and iuviting us to cuter into that same fellowship and rela tionship as sous; as the Son, giving to us "the . spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father," (Rom. 8 : 15); and making us not 1 only children, but heirs of the inheritance, "heirs of God, aud joint-heirs with Christ." Rom. 8: 17.? Treasury. 4. + KNOWLEDGE, ITS USE AND ABUSE. 7 ( "What an excellent thing is knowledge!" said a sharp-looking, bustling little man to one ] who was much older than himself. "Ivnowl- ( edge is an excellent thing," repeated he ; "my boys know more at six and seven years of age than I did at twelve. They can read all sorts ( of books, and talk on all sorts of subjects. ( The world is a great ileal wiser man it usen ( to be. Everybody knows something of every- | thing now. Do you not thiuk, sir, that knowl- ( edge is an excellent thing?" "Why, sir," replied the old man, looking j gravely, "that depends entirely upon the use to which it is applied. It may be a blessing j or a curse. Knowledge is only an increase j of power, and power may be a bad as well as a good thing." ( . "That is what I cannot understand," said : the bustling little man; "how can power be a . bad thing ?" "I will tell you," meekly replied the old , man, and thus he went on : "When the power of a horse is under restraint, the animal is i useful, bearing burdens, drawing loads, and , carrying his master; but when that power is ( unrestrained, the horse breaks his bridle, ( dashes the carriage that he is drawing, to . pieces, or throws his rider." ! n/va f T aaa ool/l litflo mnn i X OCC t 0<IIV4 nit/ ii ui iv iuiviii ^ "When the water of a large river is prop- * crly conducted by trenches, it renders the e fields around fertile; but when it bursts , through its banks it sweeps everything before it, and destroys the produce of the field." "I see! I sec!" said the little man, "I see !" 1 "When a ship is steered aright, the sail she hoists up enables her the sooner to get into port; but if steered wrong, the more sail she carries the farther she will go out of her 5 course." "I see! I see!" said the little man, "I see clearly!" 1 "Well, then," continued the old man, "if j you see these things so clearly I hope you can see, too, that knowledge, to be a good thing, ^ must be rightly applied. God's grace in the ' heart will render the knowledge of the head * a blessing; but without this it may prove to us no better than a curse." The Safe Channel.?The pilot of a Uni- j ted States revenue cutter was asked if he | knew all the rocks along the coast where he sailed. He replied : "No; it is only necessa ry to know where there are no rocka." These ' words suggest a deep moral and spiritual * truth. Sermons, lectures, and books abound 5 on the temptations which lie along the lifecourse of the young to eternity. Over the most dangerous ones arc lifted the solemn notes of repeated warning. This is well. ( And yet how much more frequently does the j word of God present and enforce, with all the urgency of motive love can suggest, the very truth contained in the nilot's answer?the "King's highway of holiness." Looking unto Jesus with simple faith the soul is secure; whatever the perils that lurk on every hand, there are no rocks ahead. To a loyal spirit it is sufficient to know this. ? Is it not foolish to be living in this world without a thought of what youjvill do at last ? A man goes into an inn, and as soon as he sits down he begins to order his wine, his dinner; there is 110 delicacy in season which he forgets to bespeak. He stops at the inn for some time. By-and-by the bill is forthcoming, and it takes hiin by surprise. "I never thought of that?I never thought of that!" "Why," says the landlord, "here is a man who is either a born fool or else a knave. What! never thought of the reckoning?never thought of settling with me!" After this fashion too many live. They eat and drink and sin, but they forget the inevitable hereafter, when for all the deeds done in the body the Lord will bring us into judgment.?Spurgeon. When men live to themselves, and arc 1 satisfied that they do 110 hurt, though they j do no good, are secure, selfish, wrathful, an- t gry, peevish, or have their kindness confined s to their relations, or otherwise are but little ! s useful but in what they are pressed unto, and 4 therein come off with difficulty in their own s minds; who esteem all lost that is done for t others, and the greatest part of wisdom to be cautious, and disbelieve the necessities of t men; that make self and its concernments f i the end of their lives; whatever otherwise!! their profession may be, or their dilligence in | t I religious duties, they do very little either to j \ | represent or glorify God in the world.? Owen. \ s - j A Small Thing, but Valuable.?It was; a charity for humble Susan to spend her hoi- jc. ! iday afternoon at the house of a still poorer j J neighbor, amusing her children, and caring I for the baby, while the mother finished and j | took home a piece of work, which bought them 'k I a week's supply of food. Without that timely 1 I help, she said, she did not know when she ! should have been able to complete it. Susy ' ! had helped to provide them with food for a ;( week, yet she had not a penny of her own in i' ; the world. ^ i-z?F Sin is never overcome by looking at it, j i but by looking away from it to Him who bore ] our sins?yours and mine?on the cross. The i heart is never won back to God by thinking s we ought to love him, but by learning what i ho is?all worthy of our love. f Jfauth Carolina pmrs. AMENDMENTS TO THE CODE.
