Uliutjorous gepartwciit. NO D06S ALLOWED IN THE CABS. It happened the other day on the Lehigh Valley Railroad. The train had iust left Easton, and the conductor was making his first round, when he observed a small white dog with a bushy tail and bright black eyes sitting cosily on the seat beside a young lady so handsome that it made his heart roll over like a lop sided pumpkin. But duty was duty, and he remarked, in his most deprecatory manner: "I'm very sorry, madam, but it's against the rules to have dogs in the passenger cars." "0! my, is that so ?" and she turned up two lovely brown eyes at him beseechingly. "What in the world will I do? I can't throw him away. He's a Christmas present from my aunt." "By no means, miss. We'll put him in a baggage car, and he'll be just as happy as a robin in spring." "What! put my nice white dog in a nasty, stuffy, dusty baggage car ?" "I'm awfully sorry, miss, I do assure you, but the rules of this company are as inflexible as the laws of the Medes and them other fellows, you know. He shall have my overcoat to lie on, and the brakeman shall give him grub and water every time he opens his mouth." "I just think it's awful mean, so I do; and I know somebody will steal it, so they will," v and she showed a half-notion to cry that nearly broke the conductor's heart; but he was firm, and sang out to the brakeman, who was playing a solo on the stove: "Here, Andy, take this dog over into the baggage car, and tell 'em to take just the best kind of care of him." The young lady pouted, but the brakeman reached over and picked the canine up as tenderly as though it was a two-weeks'-old baby, but as he did so a strange expression came over his face, like a wave of cramp-colic, and he said hastily to the conductor: "Here, you just hold him a minute till I put this poker away," and he trotted out at the car door and held on to the brake wheel, shaking like a man with ague. The conductor no sooner had his hands on the dot* than he looked around for a hole to fall through. "Wh-wh-why, this is a worsted dog." "Ye3, sir," said the little miss, demurely. "Didn't you know that ?" "No, I'm most awful sorry to say I didn't know thatand he laid the Christmas dog down in the owner's lap, and walked out on the platform, where he stood half an hour in the cold, trying to think of a hymn tune to suit the worst sold man on the Lehigh Valley road. IT GOT MONOTONOUS. Six or seven days ago an old man entered the store of a hardware man, who also deals in seeds, and, inquiring for the proprietor, soon stood face to face with him. "Want to see me ?" asked the dealer. " Yes, sir, I do! Seven years ago this coming spring I bought a paper of seeds of you." "I presume so." "I'll swear to it, sir! Seven years ago, sir, and not one of those seeds came up!" "Well, that's funny," laughed the dealer. "You may think it was," said the old man, "but I'll make it cost you ten thousand dollars! When you sold me those seeds, sir, you did not know that you were dealing with a lion!" "Well, you stop your blowing and get out of here!" "Give me a package of cabbage seeds, sir!" "I won't!" The old man went away, but in an hour returned, and said, in a loud voice? "Seven years ago this coming spring I bought a package of seeds at this store. Not one of those seeds arose from the sile 1" He was ordered out, and he went out He was there the next morning as soon as the proprietor was, and he said? "Seven years ago this coming spring you sold me a package of seeds. Not one single seed matured to manhood!" He was put out that time, but he returned in the afternoon, when the store was full of customers, and exclaimed? "Seven years ago this coming spring I was swindled by that man there! He sold me a package of garden seeds, not one seed of which ever thruv!" When he went out something hit him three or four times in the back. He went down the street for awhile, and then returned and stood in front of the store, and said to the people who passed? ttaqm o/va flila aa rr~% mr* an*nn/? 1 a wtcu J ^aio ogv tij 10 wuimg o|/nug tmo . store here sold me garden seeds that never sprouted!" He repeated the words over and over until a crowd began to gather, when he was called in and given a dozen papers of seed, and told to forgive and forget. "Six papers of onion seed to pay for the choking!'' he said, as he buttoned his overcoat. They were given him, and when stowed away he remarked, "Six papers of cucumber seeds to pay for four kicks ! After some argument these were handed him, and &i be backed out of doors he said? "It'sall right! You've acted like a man about it, and if you want any vegetables next fall I'll make a discount to you !" The Right Place.?One day, several years ago, one of those old hardtacks, who grow fat on bad whiskey, entered a Detroit hotel, and, after a dance around the office, made for the clerk, and said: "I want some whisky?some regular old heartburn." The bar was down stairs, but under the counter was a bottle of the worst liquor ever made, found in one of the rooms a year ^ ^ TUa a! A??lr +liia lin UI l*?V/ u^luiCi 1UC V/i^i rk. uauu\>u vui^ w^/ without a word, and the stranger pulled the cork and "let 'er gurgle" for a nearly a minute. When he set the bottle down his eyes were full of tears, and there was a raw streak clear down to his boots. He coughed and wheezed and gasped, and finally said : "Y-young m-man, I like this ho-hotel." "Yes, it is a good hotel," answered the clerk. "I like it b-because a fellow c-can git any thing here he c-calls for!" continued the man, as he coughed himself into a chair. How they Fixed It.?A New Yorker, while journeying, the other day, was recognized by another citizen doing busin&s near the Bowery, he being also away from home on business, and, after a little preliminary conversation, the first remarked? "Well, I hear that you had to make an assignment." "Yes, dat is drew," replied the other. "And your brother, over on Chatham street, he assigned, too, didn't he ?" "Von too if- u7oa aKnat litft Hia " said t.hfi Bowery man. "I vhas owing a goot deal, and Jacob he vhas owing a goot deal. I makes over my stock to Jacob and Jacob makes over his stock to me, and I do his peesness and he does my peesness, and dera vellers vhat was after money doan get some." ? ? A Misunderstanding.?At the breakfasttable the bther morning a landlady gave Mr. Jones a severe look, and said : "Mr. Jones, I understand you have been circulating injurious reports about my house." "How, madam?" "I understand that you said you had used better butter than I have here to grease wagons with." "I did say so, madam, but not to injure -your house. I have used better butter, madam, to grease wagons, but I wouldn't do it again. I'd sell it to you!" She accepted the apology. jgy A Dutchman, summoned to identify a stolen hog, being asked if the hog had any ear-marks, replied, "Te only ear-mark dat I saw vas his tail cut off" JVfjfifuUural ?epartmrut. GOD BLESS THE FARSL God bless the farm the dear old farm; God bless its every rood ! Where willing hearts and sturdy arms Can earn an honest livelihoodCan from the coarse and fertile soil Win back a recompense for toil. And may He bless the farmer's home Where peace and plenty reign; No happier spot 'neath heaven's high dome Doth this broad beauteous earth contain, Than where, secure from care and strife, The farmer spends his peaceful life. Unvexed by toil and tricks for gain, He turns the fertile mould; Then scatters the golden grain, Then reaps rewards a hundred fold; He dwells where grace and beauty charm, For God hath blessed his home and farm. Coleman's Rural World. CARE IN HANDLING BEE8. There are few persons but would keep bees, study their nature, aod make them pay a profit, if they could only be relieved of the fear of stings, which is the great and universal objection to the bee culture. Some say to me that they would not have a hive of bees on their premises if I' would give bees to them?they could Dot go near them without being stung. Now, I do not doubt they will attack one person more than another, the exhalations of some persons seeming to be very offensive to them, though I apprehend these is not so much difference as some suppose. Some, on entering an apiary, are fearful of going near a hive, and if a bee should pass or come near to inspect matters, they will think it time to leave. They usually dodge a few moments and strike at them, and at last make their way to the house or barn with the bees after them. Sometimes a hat is used to strike them down, and very likely they will receive more stings than if they had stood 'quietly on the spot. Nine times out of ten a bee will not sting an approaching person ; so if one stands quiet and holds his head down, and avoids breathing on them (which irritates them more than any one cause) there need be no fear of stings. Keeping bees good-natured is the main poiDt in bee-keeping,' and also offers a pretty fair subject for ridicule, for it seems rather absurd to talk of teaching a bee anything; nevertheless, it is worth while to think of it a little. Most of us know that by injudicious training, horses, cattle and dogs may be rendered extremely vicious. If there is do perceptible analogy between them and bees, experience has proved that they, too, may be made ten times more irritable (han they are naturally; therefore, it should be the apiarian's aim to keep them good-natnred,so that at any time he can go into the apiary without any fear of being molested, and open the hive for inspection with impunity. A thing very much neglected is the opening of the hive and knowing tjie condition of the bees by actual inspection. The hive should be so constructed that this duty may be performed without killing or disabling a bee. I will now say a few words about handling them. All quick motions near them, such as running, striking, etc., is noticed. When you go in a yard let your movements be slow, cautious and respectful. We can often pass unmolested, having manifested a becoming deportment. If a bee comes near, stand still; if it shows any inclination of an attack, put your head down and hold your breath ; if they are rather irritable lie down and'cover your face till they leave; or walk slowly, with head down, to some bush or tree. As they dart at objects horizontally, they have not much chance when the head is down. Avoid going in front of a hive as much as possible. If this is necessary?as for mowing grass, which should always be kept short? do it in the morning; when they are not likely to interfere. Perform all operations about a hive at or before the middle of the day, when there are few at home except voune bees. Use smoke only when absolutely necessary. Care should be taken when hiving bees not to irritate them more than possible. The improved hives now used neccessitate bringing the bees to them into a swarm bag make for that special purpose. If the branch is cut off and carried to the hive you will want something to shake them on. I prefer a square frame of light one inch square material, and as wide as the hive. Over this tack some cloth, drawn up tightly. One end rests on the hive, the other rests on the legs, so as to have it incline towards the hive.? Country Gentleman. Grafting.?Stone fruits are more difficult to graft than the apple and pear, but if it be done sufficiently early in spring the plum may be so treated very successfully. The peach is rarely grafted at the North, but it succeeds at the South. This fruit is usually propagated by that form of grafting called building. Although fruit-trees are grafted with scions of rir>ened wood, there are some trees which will --j ' ? - 9 only succeed when green wood is used for both scion and stock. This kind of grafting is called herbaceous. Many evergreens can be grafted in the ordinary way, but the pines only succeed with herbaceous grafting; and the same may be said of some nut-bearing trees. Ornamental trees of various kinds are propagated by grafting, especially where it is desired to perpetuate some individual peculiarity, such as a pendant or weeping habit, or foliage of an unusual shape or color. Some weeping trees which are naturally low, as the weeping heech, ash, and poplar, form eiegant specimens when grafted upon a stock eight or ten feet high. Among ornamental trees and shrubs grafting is resorted to as the most rapid means of propagation; sometimes a variety cannot be multiplied readily from cuttings, but can be grafted upon some related stock that will grow rapidly. The choicer species of clematis, now so much prized as ornamental climbers, take root with great difficulty, while some of the older kinds strike root freely ; the florist grows these from cuttings, and grafts the more difficult subjects on their roots. The fine double camellias will not grow from cuttings, but are propagated by grafting upon the single kinds which readily do so. Epiphyllums and other trailing cactuses make fine plants by grafting them upon a stout stem of Cereus triangularis or one of the pereskias. Successful grafting of the apple upou the maple, the rose upon the black currant, and the like is impossible, although instances of it are often narrated.?Appleton's American Cyclopaedia. ? t"* ?

If you have a thrifty wife, take pattern by her management in-doors Swept and dusted are her rooms, and made attractive with many tasteful ornaments. Your farm may be made as pleasing as your house. The yard and woodpile may be kept as sightly as the shining cook-stove, where all the sticks finally go. The fences may be one of the prettiest parts of the landscape, if they are only kept painted or whitewashed. The stone walls do continually tumble, or get knocked down, we admit ; but it don't take long to pick up two or three of the fallen rocks and put them in place, when you are passing by. The barn may be made the sweetest place around, if care is taken to keep the cattle's stalls cleanly, as they should be for any living ereature. The smell of packed hay, and the breath of cows, can never be equalled by the chemist, j In the harness-room, there is still more need | of order and neatness. Harnesses kept nice and handsome wear three times as long, wheo the dust is brushed off, and they are well oiled from time to time. To give an impression of your thriftiness to others is well, but it is not the important point. To know your belong ings are in good condition, and that your farm j is a model for others, is to make your heart | light and contented, besides giving you a sense of independence and dignity, well worth | the toil of gaining it.

ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.] NEARER* We are nearer the end of life's journey to- j day thaD we ever were before. We will be still nearer it to-morrow than we are now. 1 Every breath we breathe brings us nearer to the end of all flesh. It is a solemn thought, " that all our race are hastening to the tomb; t but it is far more solemn to think that we are j: hastening to a Heaven of endless bliss or a t perdition of endless woe. In less than one hundred years from this moment, the millions t that now inhabit our globe will all be saved e eternally in Heaven, or doomed to endless woe. ' 1 ? ? [Original.] c FAITH. Jj "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the 'J word of God."?Romans, 10:17. 1 These few words set forth, very plainly, the l(, way by which God takes a sinner out of his I lost and ruined state, and puts him in favor j with himself. The plan which infinite wisdom ^ has chosen, by which to make a sinner capa- i ble of exercising faith in Jesus Christ, and 1 also to induce him to exercise his capabilities, ?' are very briefly, but very clearly stated. * God represents himself as reporting Christ i to the sinner. The sinner hears and believes. * The important words in this passage of the < scriptures are faith and hearing. By com- I raencing with the 13th verse of the chapter, and reading attentively to the 17th, we will j readily understand what is meant by hea?ng. ? God sends certain persons out into the world to preach the gospel. This gospel is the report * that is heard. By the preaching of Christ f and him crucified, God imparts to sinners, tr whn hp?r f.bia nreaohincr. the canfthilit.V to be- t lieve. The process is simply this. The gospel is preached; men hear it, believe, call upon the name of the Lord and are saved. Preaching Christ to sinners and offering Christ to sinners denote the same thing. So the expression, "God gives his son to sinners," frequently means the same as preaching Christ or offering Christ to sinners. The word faith is often defined to mean "a belief in testimony." Whilst this definition can not be said to be unscriptural, it certainly falls short of expressing the whole truth. The faith of which Paul is speaking, most assuredly means much more than a simple belief in testimony. A belief in testimony implies nothing more than a simple act of the intellect; but Paul, in the 10th verse of this chapter, says: "With the heart man believeth unto righteousness." That faith which is necessary to the salvation of the soul, is not hard to be understood when we take the Scriptures as our only guide. It consists of an exercise of both the intellect and of the heart. With the intellect the sinner discerns Christ ; and with his heart he relies upon Christ for salvation as Christ is presented in the gospel. As all our wicked acts, thoughts and words flow from unbelief, so all the good that we either do, say or think, flows from faith. The fact that faith cometh by hearing teaches the importance of having the gospel preached, and also the importance of hearing it when we have an opportunity. It would be rash to say that none are made able to believe who never hear, in the ordinary way, Christ and him crucified preached ; still, we may safely say God has revealed to us no other way by which he will save sinners. I Original.} DECENCY. "The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth to the man ; ^either shall a* man put on a . woman's garment." Deut. 22:5. The Bible, beyond all controversy, is the ; best book in the world. The maxims which it lays down for the regulation of society, are far infinitely superior to any we find in any other books. Of the Jews, who practiced the J precepts of the Bible, it may be said they were model gentlemen and ladies. In fact, the Jews of the present day, in all their de- ( generacy, are the most refined and gentlemanly people on earth. There was a lordly hospitality about the old Jewish patriarchs which will be admired as long as the world lasts. Their wives were perfect ladies. The same may be said about the better class of the Jews of the present day. The Bible has I made its impress upon them, and whatever may be said, truthfully, against them, it can not be said they are an indecent people. God, in the Bible, sets down certain practices as j indecent. They are an abomination to him | and he would have his people to abstain from j them. ] One of the most serious objections to Gre- 1 cian and Roman civilization, was the the fact that many of the practices of those people were indecent. Their civilization was, in many respects, abominable. With regard to < the civilization of the ancient Jews, this * ? charge can not be fairly made. The precept which is laid down in Deuteronomy, 22 : 5, ^ must commend itself to every man who has any regard for the welfare of society. The * words "keli geber," which are translated by j the phrase "that which pertaineth to a man," . may mean "the weapons or the armor of a ? man." The translators of our English Bible ? thought they mean what they translated them ; e and in all probability they thought correctly. . The fundamental principle upon which this p precept is based, is that stated in the seventh [ commandment. That precept which forbids a the committing of adultery, also forbids the xc doing of anything that is indecent. f Roman historians tell us that Publius Clo- ' dius, a member of a family of distinction, attired himself in a woman's dress, and for the " vilest purposes entered the house of Julius Caesar. The old Romans regarded the act as sacreligious, and for this crime he was tried. There may be circumstances in which it would 1 be excusable in a woman to wear a man's t clothing, or for a man to wear a woman's, but * under ordinary circumstances it is an aborai- 1 nation unto the Lord. In decency there may 1 not be a great deal of piety, but without piety i there is usually a great deal of indecency. j l Save Your Pastor from Debt.?Many a minister would preach with new vigor if he . could escape from thethralldom of debt. No man is so oppressed, hindered, and heavily-! ' weighted in the race of life by debt as the j minister of the gospel. It haunts him day I i and night, takes the heart out of him, obscures j c his vision of the spiritual and eternal, mars j J Kaaiitn r\f Kin thnnrrhta flnH f.iriorpjj pvprv I ? llic UO?UKJ VI U<w V"~?v.
