HOW A WIFE WAS RESTORED TO HEALTH.
. Ad almost miraooloos cure, says the Chicago
Tribune, is reported from Sheldon street,
the patient being the wife of a well-to-do citizen.
She has for years been ailing, or thinking
she was ailing, and recently took her
death-bed and kept her husband unhappy by
lamenting that she was going to die. Yesterday
her husband went out and got a buxom
young widow, who is her particular abhor- .
rence, to come in and look over the house.
The dying woman heard him opening doors
and explaining things, and lay racked with
indignation and curiosity. Presently the buxom
young widow departed and the husband
returned 10 ue sick-room. no sooner nnu
he entered than she accosted him:
"Peter Whitehead Hollingworth, what
have you done?"
"Nothing, my love, nothing. Don't excite
yourself. Be calm. Only as you were complaining
that you couldn't get up to see after
things, and that the house was going to wreck
and ruin, 1 thought I'd ask Mrs. Dasher in to
let me know what could be done to save you
trouble and relieve your mind of anxiety."
"Oh, you did ?" she murmured with a deep
inspiration.
"Yes, I showed ber all over the house."
"And the beds not made, and everything
like a pig-sty!"
"Never mind, my love. I told her that she
musi txcuse it, as you were sick, because you
were a good housekeeper. And she said you
must be."
A "Oh, she did?" _
"Yes, and said that if she had her way
she'd have a new set of parlor furniture in,
and less vulgar wall paper, but that some
people bad no taste anyway, and?by the
way Maria, you and Mrs. Dasher are pretty
much of a size, ain't you V* Then he fell into
a trance that lasted for some minutes, then 1
muttering, "Well, perhaps they'll fit; if not,
they can be made over." 1
When the husband went home last night
he was surprised to see his dying wife up and !
dressed, and bossing things with a metalic
ring in her voice and a glitter in her eye 1
such as he hadn't seen for years, and when 1
he innocently remarked, "Why, Maria, I had
hardly expected to see you up again," she 1
said, "I know it, you bald-headed old*rer>ro- !
bate ; but I'll live to bury you yet, and if
that painted Jazebel comes into this house
again I'll tear her into cotton waste and jute 1
strings."
?
Making Room.?-Term was over, the coach i
was full of young Oxonians returning to their i
respective colleges; the morning was cold, wet
and miserable, when a well-appointed "drag" i
drove up to the "JVhite Horee Cellar," Picca- i
dilly. "Have you room for one inside ?" ask- i
ed as pretty a girl as you would wish to Bee on i
a summer's day. "What a beauty {"exclaimed
one. "Quite lovely!" said another. "Perfect
!" lisped a third. "Quite full, miss, inside .
and out," replied the coachman. "Surely, <
you can make room for one," persevered the :
fair one. "Quite impossible, without the
young-gentlemen's consent." "Lots of room," j
cried the insides; we are not very large; we |
can manage to take one more." "If the gen- '
tlement consent," replied the drive* "I cap .
have no obiection." "We agree," said the in- i
side quartet. "All right," responded the coach- :
man. The fare was paid, and the guard pro- i
ceeded to open the door, and let down the i
* steps. "Now, Miss, if you please; we are be- i
liind our time." "Come along, grandfather," i
cried the damsel, addressing a most respecta- 1
ble-looking, portly elderly man; the money <
is paid, get in, and be sure you thank the !
young gentlemenat the same time* suiting <
the action to the word, and, with a smile, as- |
sisting her respected grandfather into the j
coach. "Here's some mistake; you'll squeeze j
ta.deaihJ' cried theaatonisheri party. "Sor- <
ry to incommode you." replied the intruder ; ;
"I hope you won't object to have both win- I
dows up, I'm sadly troubled with a cough." i
At this moment, "All right, sit fast!" was i
heard; and the "Defiance" rattled away, best i
pace; drowning the voices of the astonished J
Oxonians.?Punch. ]

Too Soon.?A young lady in Montana will ]
answer unconsciously auestions put to hefr. j
She is courted by a timia young man who has ]
never had the courage to ask her to marry j
him. He called one night last week, and en- t
tering the front door, as was bis habit, with- J
out ringing the bell, saw her asleep on the par- I
lor sofa. He heard his own name softly ex- <
pressed from between coral lips. Immediately
the pent-op burdon of his heart broke out j
in words: "Dearest, do you love me?" "Yes," i
was the soft response of the sleeper. "Will i
?) !iv? ? ?ck-n :* ?

year t" The lips again moved, and the young i
man heard distinctly the word "August." i
He stepped cautiously back, and glided quietly
from the house. August was too Boon to
Buit his purse.
Missing.?A boy about twelve years old
called at a New York police-station to give
notice that his father was missing. After
getting name, street and number, the sergeant
said?
"Now give me a description of your father."
"He is a man," said the boy.
"I don't doubt that, but I want his age,
height, color of hair, and so on."
The boy was stuck, and after the sergeant
had vainly pumped him, he said?
"It's curious a boy of your age can't describe
your own father."
"He's my step-father. I know he's been
haneine about our house for two or three
years, but I never thought to look at him I
much. You can put him down as a redheaded
man, and I'll get mother to write out
the rest."
? ?
Novel Economy.?A person in Paris noticed
a poor man with a wooden leg walking
past his house, and gave him a franc. The
next day he saw the same beggar; but he
had changed the wooden leg from the right
to the left. Enraged at the deception, he went
up to the man, and exclaimed,
"You rascal, you had the wooden leg on
the other side yesterday! You are not lame
at all!"
"Monsieur," was the response with dignity,
"I never said I was. I wear a wooden
leg for economy, so as not to wear out my
trousers; and I change the leg to prevent one
leg of the trousers wearing out before the
other." *

A jester in the Court of Francis I
complained that a great lord threatened to
murder him if he did not cease joking about
him. "If he does so," said the King, "I will
hancr him in five minutes after." "I wish
your Majesty would hang him five minutes
before," replied the jester.
t&"A calf in Milwaukie swallowed six
hundred dollars worth of food in one meal,
a few days ago. It was rb the form of a
pocket-book full of bank-notes. They cut
the animal open, but he had already digested
two hundred dollars. Thereat was recovered.
He did not survive the operation.

A wealthy New Yorker, more remarkable

A LONDON DETECTIVE.
One of the most remarkable of the London
police is Druskowitz. No one looking at
the short, blond-moustached and rather dandified
young man, would suspect him of being
the cleverest of deteetives. He is about thirty-four
years old, but lookB less. His father
was a Dalmatian. He himself speaks any
number of languages, and is thus nearly always
sent abroad where any case occurs in
non-English speaking countries. In London,
his special work is among foreigners, who go
there as fugitives from justice. It is generally
found that such persons betake themselves
to special localities. Usually they lie hiding
for a few days, but they soon find it impossible
to remain indoors any longer; so having
shaved off their beards if they have one, or
putting on a false beard if they formerly
shaved, and weariDg a wig and spectacles,
they sally forth at night, and, being in want
of amusement, they betake themselves to Alhambra.
That is a favorite resort of foreigners
in London, and Druskowitz is, therefore,
a frequent visitor there. He appears much interested
by the performance, but his thoughts
are elsewhere. He is watching some individual
in the audienoe, follows him when he
leaves, tracks him to his hiding place, and
then sets to work to find out who he is. Woe
to the man who is a criminal if Druskowitz
be on his trail. There is little chance for him.
Druskowitz has an extraordinary moral influence
over criminals; it is something like that
of the rattle snake on the bird. He carries
no arms, yet he does not fear to go up to an
armed and desperate man and arrest him ;
and, though armed and desperate, he succumbs.
Druskowitz was engaged nine years
ago in a remarkable case. In 1866 Vital
Douat, a Bordeaux wine merchant, went to
Paris and' insured his life for a sum equal to
?5,000. Shortly afterward he went to London
in order to escape the consequences of a
fraudulent bankruptcy. Some time later his
wife, clad in widow's weeds, presented herself
at the insurance office with the necessary legal
document attesting her husband's death.
There was nothing suspicious in the papers.
hTflVRrthnlAiM thev determined to make some
inquiries before handing over the amount of
insur&noe. Druskowitz was called in, and he
ascertained that on December 1,1866, some
one named Dernandi had called at the registrar's
office in Plaistow and registered the
death of Douat, and it was entered as due to
heart disease. Druskowitz found out the undertaker
who had conduoted the funeral, and'
learned that everything had been properly ordered
and paid for, and the funeral had been
performed at Leytonstone by the Catholic
priest. One thing seemed strange. The coffin
bad not been sent to any private house, but
direct Jo the_ cemetery. Fu rther inquiry
failed to discover'any doctor of the name attached
to the certificate of death. The next
step was to obtain an order for exhumation,
and the coffin being opened there was found,
aot the body of Vital Douat, but a block of
lead. Further inquiry elicited the fact that
be had been present at his own funeral and afterward
gone to America, whence he supplied
13 wife with the documents intended tor the
insurance company. Sometime afterward be
returned to Europe, went to Antwerp, bought
& ship, sent ber to sea with a lot of rubbish,
and having previously had her insured for a
large sum, had her burned. Arrested and
brought to trial, he was visited by Druskowitz,
who felt sure that he was the man he wanted.
Douat was found guilty and condemned to
imprisonment with hard labor, but the French
Government claimed him under an extradition
treaty, and he was tried on the charge of
fraudulent bankruptcy, found guilty and sentenced
to penal servitude for a comparatively
short time.
Friday.?There is a popular superstition
against Friday, and it is a somewhat noteworthy
fact, that, for the Americans at least, it
has been peculiarly fortunate. Here are
some facts that the Chicago Times has been
compiling on the subject, and the perusal of
them will sustain the assertion that Americans
should be rather inclined to honor that
day than otherwise.
It was on Friday, the 3rd of August, 1492,
that Columbus sailed from the harbor of Palos,
for the New World. It was on Friday,
the twelfth of October, 1492, that he first saw

It was on Friday, the fourth day of January,
1493, that he started on*his return to
Spain to announce to their Catholic majesties
the glorious result of their expedition, and on
Friday, the fifteenth of March, 1493, that he
disembarked in Andalusia. It was on Friday,
the thirteenth of June, 1494, that he discovered
the American continent On Friday,
March 4th, 1497, Henry VII, of England,
gave to John Cabot his dispatch for the voyage
which resulted in the discovery of the continent
of North America.
On Friday, September 6, 1565, Mendez
founded St. Augustine, the oldest town in the
United States. On Friday, November 10,
1620, the Mayflower first disembarked a few
inhabitants on American soil atProvincetown
and on Friday, December 22, 1620, Jier passengers
finally landed at Plymouth Rock. It
was on Friday, February 22, 1732, that
George Washington was born.
On Friday, June 16,1775, the battle of
Bunker Hill was fought, and on Friday, October
7,1777, the surrender of Saratoga took
place, which event decided France to give her
aid to the Americans. The treason of Arnold
was discovered on Friday. Yorktown surrendered
on Friday, and on Friday, June 7,
1776, Richard Henry Lee read the Declaration
of Independence to the Continen ;al Congress.
S&~ A strange breach of promise case 1? on
trial in a San Francisco court, the peculiarity
being that a woman sues a man for refusing
to keep a matrimonial engagement made with
her while she was the wife of another man.
Mrs. Edwards was the young wife of an old
hunhand, and she crew tired of the incongru
? O" " ?
ous relation. Mr. Keating was nearer her
own age and disposition, and she bestowed on
him the affection which her husband could
not gain. Mr. Keating gave her his heart,
and promised to give her his hand as soon as
Bhe could be freed from Mr. Edwards. Several
years were occupied in securing that freedom,
for Mr. Edward's behaviour as a husband
was not bad enough to make a divorce
case easy to get; but a legal separation was at
length effected. In tha meantime the courtship
between Mr. Keating and Mrs. Edwards
baa progressed in a way tnat would have been
proper had she not been a wife. Many love
letters were written, and preparations made
for the marriage. After the husband was no
longer an obstacle, however, Mr. Keatine's
ardor cooled gradually, until he no louger desired
to marry Mrs. Edwards. Thereupon
she brought the suit, which the presiding
judge says is unprecedented in the history of
law.

wheat. '.
Up to this time, but very little wheat has
been sown in this region. , The Fall has been 1
remarkably dry, and farmers generally have
been waiting for rain. We would remind
farmers that it will not do to wait much longer.
"Time and tide wait for no man" is a
trite, but trae saying. It will boon be too
late to sow wheat with any fair prospect foCa ,
good crop. The probability is that when the
rainy season sets in, we will have very little
weather suitable for Bowing wheat. Experience
has long since proven that it is muih
better to sow wheat in dost, than iu mud. In
fact, there is- no better time to sow wheat than
wnen tne grouna is in ausi.
Let every farmer remember that two acres
of land, which is adapted to the growth !qf
wheat, will make bread enough for each member
of his family.. The .farpaqr who has tea
members in his family, shotild sow twqnfy
acres of land in wheat. If this be done by
every farmer in our country, bread will be

CUT FOOD.
Every close observer has <i9ade the discovery
that when solid grain is fed to stool?,, ?
large per cent, is not digested ; bat passes off
in the excrement* In some cases, portions of
this undigested grain may be picked up by
the pigs and domestic fowls about the lot, But
the larger amount of it is' h cleaf loss. This
may be remedied by cutting up all the l$ng
forage designed for. stock, ^nd having the
grain ground into meal, and sprinkled on the
cut food. Before the meal is sprinkled, tlie
cut food should first be. slightly wet. This
causes the meal to stick to it and gives stoek
a relish for the cut food. It is useless to feed
a cow on corn, because very little of it is di
geated. The same is true witn regard = id
meal; but meal sprinkled on cut straw or
fodder, is fine food fot any domestic animal.
It is clear than when the food is^hu$ pre*
pared it will take much less ,to .keep an animal
in good condition, from the simple fact
that all the food that is given it is in a digestible
form. It is said by~raen~who' practice
this, or a similar mode of feeding^ tlfa^atock
are less liable to colic and bots than those fed
in the usual way. Colic' Arises from a disordered
condition of the stomach, and t$e
stomach is disordered by taking in food in
improper quantities or in an improper, or indigestible
state. There is little danger of a
horse having colio so long as he digests his
food thoroughly, and he may havto' colic at
any moment when his stomach does not perform
its functions.

STOCK IK WINTER.
By a law of nature, the temperature of mb&
animals is the same in winter as in summer. ;
To keep up this heat, more food is required
in winter than in summer. Stock that are
suffered to take all kinds of weather, duiiog ,
the severe cold of winter either must become
very poor, or receive a Tery considerable addition
to their daily allowance of food. Ev*
? n l? J A? 1
ery one knows that it takes iar more iooa to
satisfy the appetite of a horse or mule that is
exposed, night and day, to the weather,- than
it does when the same animal is carefully protected
from the weather. These facts suggest
the course that should- be pursued, during the (
winter, by all 'owners of domestic aoimajB.
These animals should not be unnecessarily exposed
to rain, sleet or ..enow, and should have ^
all rain and snow rubbed off them when
turned into the stable. The stables for all domestic
animals, sucb as horses, mules, and
cows, should be made close and warm, 44
an abundance of dry leaves or straw should ,
be kept in the stable, so that the animal may
have a warm bed, and thus be induced to lie
down and rest. Wet stables are very injurious
to the feet of the animal; and, besides,
there are only a few animals that will lie down
when they are not provided with a bed.
It requires some labor to provide for animals
in the manner suggested, but it pays wfei!
in the end. One advantage Is, the farmpr
who provides good bedding for. his stock and
keeps them all in stables during the winter
months, makes a vast amount of manure that
he would otherwise lose. Another advantage
is, that a large amount of food fs actually
saved. This, to us Southern people, is no
small item. A good stable and two-thirds
fanrt is better than a nnnr stable and full feed.
Another advantage in favor of, good, warm
stables is, tRat stock properly cared for during
the winter, will be in better condition on
the arrival of the work season, and will last
several years longer and do be^te^ work. In
winter, stock should be kept warm*; Md summer,
cool. This is only following nature's
law.

The Price op Food in old Times.?
Amid the never-ending comments onthe high
price of provisions, it is difficult for us to realize
the fact that a time existed in Britain's
history when wheat, as food for one hundred
for a whole day, was worth only a shilling^
and the average price of a sheep four pener
In the reign of Henry I., the price of iwine
was raised to six pence a quart for red, and
eight pence a quart for whitd, in order "that
the sellers might be enabled to live by it.
When wheat was at six shillings a quarter,
(eight bushels,) the farthing loaf was to be
equal in weight to twenty-four ounces if made
of the whole groin,'and to sixteen ounces if
consisting solely of white. And when wheat
was only one shilling and Bix pence per quarter,
as it sometimes was, the farthing white
loaf was to contain sixty-four ounces, and the
whole grain ninety-six. Think of purchasing
a six pound loaf of good wheaten bread for a
farthing! In the nineteenth year of the reign
of Edward I, the price of provisions in the
city of London was fixed by the Common
Council at a tariff by which two pullets were
sold at three half pence, a partridge'qr two
woodcocks for the same, while a fat lamb was
to be six pence from Christmas to Shrovetide,
and the rest of the year four pence. In the
fourteenth century Parliament fixed the price
of a fat ox at forty-eight shillings, a.-shorn
sheep at five shillings, two dozep of eggs at
three pence, and the best wine at twenty shillings
per tun. An act of Parliament, passed
in 1533. settled the value of beef and Dork at
a half-penny per pound, and veal at three
farthings.
Renovation op Soil.?The United States
Agricultural Department has been collecting
information relating to the renovation or improvement
of soils considered worn out, and
says: Many examples are given of the renovation
of worn and apparently worthless soils,
and the increase of fertility in fresh but unpromising
lands. Fields that have been cultivated
exhaustively for twenty, and even
forty years, have been restored to original productiveness,
not by guanos and superphosphates,
at from 860 to 880 per ton, but inexpensive
local resources, the cheapest and moat '
reliable of which is found in clovering. In
one case, in Butler county, Pennsylvania, a
section of thin, graveled land, on which jt was
thought no one could secure a decent living,
came into possession of German emigrants at
nominal rates. They cleared off the brush,
plowed, cultivated, turned under green crops,
saved every fertilizing material available,
never duplicated a crop for four or five or sif
years' rotation, and that tract is now a garden,
and from worthlessness has advanced to the
value of $100.per acre, and is yearly becoming
more productive. - <>>

THE SMPLICITf OF THE GOSPEL.
The Biblja^ftqip: ibegpoing to end?from
Genesis to Revelations?is the easiest book
in the world understood. It contains many
things which the hWmtn mibd cannot comprehend,
More than-this, there are mayy
thingfl frjiiighi- ^ the Bible which it.waa never
understand. The doctrine of the trinity may
be mentionecLa&ibekwginglQithe class of incomprehensible
truths which are taught in
the Bible. No created mind can understand
how one can be three, and three be only one.
It is clearly stated'in'the Bible that there are
three persons in the God-head, and these three
are ociy- ope (Cqd* The s i near potion qf- the
second person of the trinity is another incomprehensible
truth. ' No nian can understand
how a being can possess two natures and still
be only one person. The fact is plainly stated
in the Bible and underlies the whole scheme
of Redemption.} j ? j n / if A / LI. 1 Uf
What we mean by the simplicity of the
Bible, is not that it treats of simple subject*,
or subjects of trivial importance, bat that it
treats great subjects, and sabjecte which concern
all men for time and eternity, in a way
tbaV e vin* ordinary intellects can'discover
at a glance what it does teach. T|e
Bible treats of the body and of the soul; of
time and eternity; of heaven and hell; of
God and man ; and Btfll it is the most interesting
book in the world because of its grqat
simplicity. There is none of that subtile reasoning
which'Sfe at> frequently ifind in the
productions of learned men. No effort at display,
and yet it is fascinating even to a child.
Children Jove tp, read, the Bible. Its history,
its laws and its poetry, stand unrivaled in poipt
of truthfulness of narration, sublimity and jfathos
of sentiment, and beauty of diction.
There is no code in the world to be compared
fib thatcOn tabled "id the twentieth chapfcei' of
Exodus. It requires little learning to be
able to understand the intent of this code.
It is so plain that even the school boy . can
'1 i. ?' .
see, at nrst signc, wnat me iaw-giver means
by each section and every paragraph.
The plan of salvation, as contained in both
testano|3&Ur )8 exceediiigly eafc? to be understood.
No one need have aay difficulty in
understanding how the human race became
in a lost qondition, and how God proposes to
3ave sinhera. ' ^e mean'the Scriptures state
these two truths so plainly, that even a child
can understand them. Still, these two
truths a re .so mysterious, that no i finite mind,
unassisted by a revelation from God, can ever
form a reasonable conjecture.
On account of its great simplicity, the
gospel is woriby of'all acceptation. This
feature commends it to the consideration of
every human beiDg. It bears upon its face
the strongest evidence of truth. Nothing is
condealed; nothing mystified.

THE INFLUENCE OF THE GOSPEL.
The religion of the Lord Jesui Christ may
be viewed in a two-fold aspect. We may
contemplate what it proposes to do fbr us in
eternity and we may take its- preaeofreffects
upon society only jnto consideration. What
the ultimate triumphs of the gospel will be,
we can only judge of it by what it has actually
accomplished. ' 'The true' believer eujoys
only a foretaste of his heavenly home, so lob^
as he tabernacles in the flesh. What he will
be in another world he does not know ; he can
not know. The .bible is full ot gracious promises,
all of which have a tendency to encourage
the believer to continue in' well doing.
Visions of glory are made to pass before him,
and he is expressly told that God will give
hira^ grace here_and glory hereafter. With
regard to the position of the believer in Jesus
Christ,- in thfe world; bey on d the gravd, we cad
only say, as did he who was permitted to recline
upon the bosom of the Saviour: "We
know not what we shall be; but when he
shall appear we shall be like him." To be
like Jesus when he comes to judge the world
in righteousness, will satisfy the utmost desire
of every ..soul. The inspired poet sung:
"In righteousness thy face I'll see,
Blessed when I Wake to be like thee."
The results of tho gospel in this world we
can see and feel. They present themselves to
us at every street corner, and on every highway,
throughout the whole of Christendom.
These results are manifest in the character of
Christian civilization. In fact, so infinitely
superior is the civilization of Christian people
to that of any other people, that it seems to
be an improper use of the word to apply it to
any but a Christian people. In wealth, pagan

lands. Pagan nations are governed more by
brute, forge*than t>y a principle of obedience
to law. Might makes right among all such
nations. The strong opposes the weak with
impunity. The widow and the orphan exist
notas objects of pity and fit subjects of charity,
but as a prey for oppressors. The civilization
of Greece and Rome, in their palmiest
days, ia not to be compared with that of the
children of fsrael in the days of David.
There is something in Christianity which
makes gentlemen, in the fullest sense. The
patriarchs weremen^pf accomplished, manners.
They conld appreciate a favor and understood
how to,return it. There was.an air of happiness
in and around their abode, whieh is never'

seen and felt in. pagan.homes. Indeed, so
few are the comforts about pagan dwellings,

rpHE COOKING STOVES manufactured atqnr
X worka in Greensboro, N. 0., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav- ,
ier and thicker plate than any dtherStove'in the
market, and consequently will the longer withstand
heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States,.while itisnonhdently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST.-' All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should a piece get accidentally
broken at any time, we can replace it at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is a home production, buton accountof its intrin- ,
sic merits as an article of household economy, do
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. More ,
than ONE THOUSAND of these Stoves are now ,
in use, and among many others having them we
respectfully refer to the following: R. E.Guthrie,
D. M. Campbell, M. H. Currence, York county;
Mrs. Elizabeth J. Wylie, Chester; D. A. Gordon,
Guthriesville; John A. Brown, Rook Hill; B. P.
Boyd, Joseph Herudon, L. M. Grist, Yorkville.
You can save the freight firom the northern cities
and the dealer's profit, which is no small item, '
by buying of us, and at the same time get a
STOVE THAT IS MORE DURABLE than those
of northern make. The following are our prices
delivered at depot in Greensboro:
