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. ] ? * I 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 :* ? you marry uioi xe?. uuan it uo ?u ? 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 for money than education, in attending a public dinner recently, heard his neghbor remark to one of the waiters, "Waiter, you have omitted my napkin," and set the table in a roar by saying, "Waiter, I'll take a plate of napkin too." "You are the dullest boy Iafer saw 1" crossly exclaimed a bald-beaded old uncle to his nephew. "Well, uncle," replied the youth, "you can't expect me to understand things as ^\auick as you do, because yon don't have the bauble of getting 'em through your hair." said a mother tQ her little pieOWLjffMk^ttle girl like'yob I should answeiSn&fe^SJshipe."

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 +VkA 1 o oivftr.fiwo r] a tra aP no wirrafinn bUQ iauu Ul UVl UtA fcj U f V V4 UHUgM VIVUt 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. $be yrTTTrrn ifttT original.]. wheat. '. Up to this time, but very little wheat has been sown in this region. , The Fall has been 1 remarkably dry, and farmers generally have been waiting for rain. We would remind farmers that it will not do to wait much longer. "Time and tide wait for no man" is a trite, but trae saying. It will boon be too late to sow wheat with any fair prospect foCa , good crop. The probability is that when the rainy season sets in, we will have very little weather suitable for Bowing wheat. Experience has long since proven that it is muih better to sow wheat in dost, than iu mud. In fact, there is- no better time to sow wheat than wnen tne grouna is in ausi. Let every farmer remember that two acres of land, which is adapted to the growth !qf wheat, will make bread enough for each member of his family.. The .farpaqr who has tea members in his family, shotild sow twqnfy acres of land in wheat. If this be done by every farmer in our country, bread will be plenty and cotton. Will be a better prida' >. 1 [Origloal.j CUT FOOD. Every close observer has <i9ade the discovery that when solid grain is fed to stool?,, ? large per cent, is not digested ; bat passes off in the excrement* In some cases, portions of this undigested grain may be picked up by the pigs and domestic fowls about the lot, But the larger amount of it is' h cleaf loss. This may be remedied by cutting up all the l$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. i , , i [Original.] 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. - <>> :~f. :t Ti' OONDUOTKB BY * : i** i -BEV.

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.

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. * ' [Original.] 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 nations often surpass Christians; but the wealth of pagans does not contribute to their happiness. >> . Law, in the proper sense of that word, has bat little, any force, except in Christian .if M .1^'Fnu %yr )| 1 M j f-in # r.f.? 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' '7 " : ' r seen and felt in. pagan.homes.

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.
