He came wearily up the sanctum steps yes- < tentay afternoon, and turning the waste-bas- < ket upside down, sat down upon it with a sigh I that might have been cut up into tornadoes i and whirlwinds enough to go around half a < dozen agricultural counties. He had a weary t look about him as though he bad been trying t to die and couldn't find a doctor. His coat < was ragged and patched, here and there, with ( prosperous and cianish communities of cockle- I burs. His boots, water-proof variety, so ar- i ranged that if you stuck them iu the river, the i water would run out faster than it would run < iu. We asked how he fared, and he glanced 1 savagely among our exchanges before he an- ? swered sadly: < v\MAf fvr minora kin ikonlr VO Yo 1 fT Oil j piOblJ UilC^i ?uiV| vuaua j v? * v see, times come in pretty hard, and it was s pretty hard sleddin' to get along. I either f jest had to sell the six dogs, or cut down the < expenses in some other way, and so I stopped j the paper. I missed it powerful bad the first s few weeks; then I kind o' got used to it. Bor- ? rowed it once in a while here and there, but i folks didn't somehow appear to like to lend ! their paper, and so I finally lost sight of it al- i together. Then trouble begun right off. The t first thing I knowed I was arrested and fined i $20 for violating the game law. See, things s has been changed a little and I didn't know ( nothing about it; but the judge said as how 1 iguorance wasn't no excuse in these days i when the State was so full of papers that you t couldn't fire a stone out o' the window without hittin' a editor. Then in a week I was arrested and fined $20 for violating the fishery 1 law, and when I begged off and said I didn't t know nothin' about it, the judge asked where i I was raised and remitted $2 of the fine for t me to take a paper with. But I kinder thought i I couldn't get in any more scrapes, and I sorto t hung on to the two dollars. In about three t days after, I was took up and fined $4 and i costs for hunting on Sunday, and I hope I f may die if I knowed it was Sunday. And I t had to sell the gun to get out of the jug. ] Then a fellow came along and bought every t grain of corn I had in the crib for six cents < les3 than I found next day it was worth in the market; then I lost two of the best cows you i ever saw, and they was took up and advertis- I ed, and all the time I was hunting the whole | country over for 'em, an' when I found'em at t last, the cost was more than the cows was j worth. The taxes came due and I didn't I know it, an' the farm was sold an' I had big I costs to pay before I knowed a thing about it. ] Then I lost $10 on a bet that Pendleton had < a dead sure thing on the democratic nomina- i tion, another $5 on a bet that Belknap was < Secretary of War, an' I don't know anything 1 about Babcock, nor Blaine, nor nobody, and f every week since I've stopped the paper I've 1 paid out more money to keep out of trouble ' than would keep me in newspapers all my j days. Put my name on the list." I - ? Unprincipled Performance.?A citizen, who should be preparing himself for the un- , known life beyond the grave, instead of being , up to such tricks, removed the setting from his , big gold ring the other day, leaving a mark- | ed and decided vacancy. He gets on a street j car, holds his hands so that the ring must be | seen, and pretty soon a man bends forward i and remarks: , HP?Ai?aA ma oi? knf ttam Viana Inaf tViA apf 1 JJAUU9C 1UC) OH | UUb jwu UM*V ?vwv vwv wvv frora your ring." "So I have," replies the owner, as he looks around on the floor. Every passenger began to peer around, and the man who made the diseovery Anally asks : "Was it a valuable set?" "It was a thousand dollar diamond," is the calm reply. There is another movement on the part of passengers. Some look along the seat, some under it, and some make a dive, for pearl buttons and other small objects. "When did you miss it?" asks the first man, as the search weakens a little. "A year and a half ago, when I was attending a camp-meeting in Illinois!" is the sad reply. Then everv Dassenerer straiehtens up, every eye looks into vacancy, and not the faintest smile can be seen on any face. A person boarding the car just then would wonder what < great man in the city had just died, and if the l passengers were on their way to take a sad j farewell look at his remains. j ? I Sensible Almost to the Last.?Mr. and j Mrs. Tom Mulachy lived on a farm. They ] were shrewd and thrifty, and had the reputa- j tion of being "close." Finally Mrs. Mulachy j sickened and was about to die. Finding her- g Belf neariug the end, she expressed a desire to j put things in order before that event occurred, ? and old Tom prepared to listen. j "Tom," said Mrs. Mulachy, "there's Mrs. g Smith, up at the crossing, she owes me 81.80 ( for butter; see ye get it." , "ftinoiK1 ck tn tLo Inst mv rlpnr ninRihlp to i the last," said Tom. "I'll get it." s "TheD there's Mrs. Jones, up at the creek, J she owes me $1.50 for chickens." "Ah 1 look at that now, for a moind ; she t forgets nothing." I "And Mrs. Brown, in the village, she owes ( me $2.30 for milk." , "D'ye hear that ? Sinsible to the last; sin- " sible to the last ! Go on, my dear." "And?and?" : "Yes." J "And Mrs. Roberts, at the tollgate, I owe her-" "Ah! poor dear! poor dear!" broke in j old Tom, hastily; "how her moind does be { wandering! Sure we've allowed her to talk too much entirely, so we have!"?Cleveland ( Herald. { Texas Table Talk.?A San Antonio j gentleman recently had occasion to visit a 1 neighboring town. He did not expect much 1 in the way of accommodation at the local ho- 1 tel, and in this his anticipations were more * than realized. He was very hungry, but had I the luck to lose most of his appetite before 1 he got through with his dinner, owing to his 1 discovering a few blonde hairs in the soup. He thought the landlord would feel very bad about it, but that gentleman merely remark- s ed, as he excavated a perishing fly from the j butter: "All I ask is, Judge, that you don't \ fish 'em out with your finger. You have got ' to use a fork. It is one of the rules of the j < house that no gentleman is expected to put j' his fingers in the vittles. This ain't no rail- j I road town, but when it comes to style and j j tone, we will carry off the blue ribbon every j time the horn toots."?San Antonio Herald, j 1 j ( S&&" A very little boy had one day done 11 wrong, and was sent, after paternal correction, 11 to ask in secret the forgiveness of his Heaven- < ly Father.

"Why do | you not come here when your beau is sober?" j he asked the blushing girl. "Oh, yer rivereuce," said she, "he won't marry me when he's , sober!" \( "Pr iv "?"Tin von nlav the niano ?" he i ' a ~v i j -? r - - - j asked her. "I play that I play sometimes," she answered, "but when I play I am not play- j ing; then I play better than I play when play ing playing. When I play it is sorry play- j ing, and sorry playiug is a contradiction, so I do not play at all." What is the difference between the news j of a Democratic victory and a newly married couple ? There's no difference. One is happy tidings, and the others are happy tied 'uns, I loo. ; < lie Jarm and fireside. The Value of Road Dust.?During a Iry season, every country resident should se;ure several barrels of road dust. Those who Ceep poultry may secure by its use a valuable fertilizer, nearly as strong as guano, with none >f its disagreeable odor. Place an inch or ;wo of road dust in the bottom of a barrel; ;hen, as the poultry house is regularly cleaned, ieposit a layer an inch thick of the cleanings, tnd so on, alternately, layers of each till the barrel is full. The thinner each layer is, the nore perfect will be the intermixture of the ugredients. If the soil of which the road lust is made is clayey, the layers of each may je of equal thicknes; if sandy, the dust ihould be at least twice as thick as the layers )f droppings. Old barrels of any kind may se used for this purpose, but if previously toaked with crude petroleum or coated with jas tar, they will last many years. If the :ontents are pounded on the floor into fine powder before applying, the fertilizer may be lown from a drill. Road dust is one of the nost perfect deodorizers of vaults?convertug their contents also into rich munure. Place a barrel or box of it in the closet, with " i J _!..i i small cupper, ana in row uuwu a pun iuiu ;be vault each time it is occupied, aud there vill be no offensive odor whatever. This is limpler, cheaper, and better than a watersloset, and never freezes or gets out of order. Vlixing road dust with an equal bulk of coal ishes is an improvement, making the fertilizer nore friable. How to get Rich.?A practical farmer leing asked what the farmers most needed o increase the value of their lands, crops ind herds, replied: "They want just what he merchants, the manufacturers and the nechanics want; just what the railroad men, he lumber men, and the mining men want; hey want labor, capital and brains. There s not a farmer in the State but will stand an ipplication of this trio?work, money aud bought." We asked him again, what simile and easy methods he would recommend ;o the farmers from which they could get the inickest returns, and he reDlied : 1 ? X "First I would recommend that every cow n the State be crossed by a thorough-bred mil. I calculate that would add $1,500,000 jo the wealth of the State in two years, and hat would double the cattle of the State in 'our years. Second, I would cross every sreeding ewe in the State with a thoroughired ram of approved pedigree, and I calcuate that would add one pound of wool to jvery shearing in two years, besides improvng the flocks in many respects. You can jalculate the gain yourself. Third, I would save every farmer select his seeds of every jrain, especially of wheat and corn?that is to pick out the best and discard the inferior, rhe profit would be immense, for there is no telling how much can be gained by the selection of seeds." Wide-Tired Wheels.?This is another point which we are very apt to overlook, greatly to our disadvantage. We suffer ourselves to be guided by wagon-makers, and the wheelwright knows very well that he lives by his trade, and that wear and tear is the life of trade. He serves himself when we are suited with narrow wheels. A set of wheels with four-inch or six-inch rims and beavy tires, costs to make considerably more than a set two and one-half inches wide ; hut in extra price is always put upon them. They ire well worth it. A wagon or cart with a six-inch tread will take heavy loads over soft meadows and hardly leave a track, where a aarrow-wheeled wagon with a similar load jould not go at all. On country roads such broad-tread vehicles destroy ruts, and act like rollers, making the roads agreeable for ' ? it _ - *1 !_ I. ngDt carriages, ana Keeping mem in mucn setter order throughout the year. It would be a real blessing to every state of the UnioD to put so heavy a tax on narrow wheels upon aeavy wagons and carts, that they would besome quite obsolete. Millions of dollars would be saved to the people of each State, in repairs of roads, in repairs of wagons and in borse flesh. Washing Flannels.?I will give a little >f my experience in washing flannels. I was taught to wash flannels in hot water; but it is i great mistake. In Italy, my flannels were i wonder to me, they always came home from he wash so soft and white. I learned that the [talian women washed them in cold water. Viany a time 1 have watched them kneeling n a box, which had one end taken out, to ceep them out of the mud, by the bank of a itreara, washing in the running water and dryng on the bank or gravel, without boiling; ' T ? ? ? 1 L - 1 ina 1 never naa wasning aoue oeuer, auu lannels never half so well. I have tried it iince, and find the secret of nice soft flannels ;o be the washing of them in cold or lukewarm water, and plenty of stretching before langing out. Many recipes say, don't rub soap on flannels; but you can rub soap on to ;he advantage of the flannels, if you will rinse t out afterward and use no hot water about hem, not forgetting to stretch the threads in 30th directions before drying. Flannels so tared for will never become stiff', shrunken or fellow.? Correspondence Chicago Tribune. Rules for the Sick Room.?(1). Bring n fresh flowers or something new every day ; jven the commonest green thing is better than lothing. (2.) Don't talk about anything unaleasant, Talk about something that will ead the patient's thoughts away from his iches and pains, and leave him iu a cheerful ind restful state of mind, (3.) Follow the loctor's directions implicitly. (4.) Never ask i sick person what he wants to eat. If he isks for anything that will not injure him, get t if you can. Never bring him much at a ;ime. A little bit in a dainty dish will sorae;lmes tempt the appetite when a large quanti;y would cause nausea. (5.) Expect sick aersons to be unreasonable. They will fret ind complain, no matter what happens, and Bust be borne with patiently.?Housekeeper. A Horse's Back.?The first thing to observe in judging'of a horse, so far as his back s concerned, is the length of it. A long back s a weak back the world over, and in every nstance. By superior excellence of struc;ure in other respects, the weakness of the jack may be, in some measure, made up; but ;he horse can never be the horse he would iave been had his back been a shorter one. We do not care bow short a horse's back is; for it is a sure evidence that he can carry or irag a heavy weight a great distance and not :ire; neither, if he be speedy, will two or ;hree seasons of turf experience break him lown, as is the case with so many of our ipeedy, long-backed horses. TVw Rp*mvr PRT?r>KT.Ps. Horse-radish jrated into a cup of cold sour milk?let it stand twelve hours, then strain and apply two >r three times a day. It will remove freckles irom hands or face in a short time. One ounce of lemon-juice mixed with a quarter of a drachm of pulverized borax and lalf a drachm of sugar, will also remove 'recklee. Keep this lotion in a glass bottle jorked tightly a few days before using, and ipply occasionally, and it will soou remove them. To Take Rust Out of Steel.?If possible, place the article in a bowl containing ker)sine oil, or wrap the steel up in a soft cloth veil saturated with kerosene; let it remain twenty-four hours or longer; then scour the rusty spots with brick dust; if badly rusted jsesalt wet with hot vinegar; after scouring rinse every particle of brick dust or salt off with boiling water; dry thoroughly with flap* - - ? ? l ael cloths, aud place near the tire to matte sure; then polish off with a clean flannel cloth ind a little sweet oil. Take good care of the implements Ihrough the winter, that they may be ready to lo thorough work another season. fUaditig far the Satoath. CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT LAT'IAN, f Original J "COME UNTO ME." Matthew 11:28. All of Adam's race who are in heaven toi day, got there through faith in Jesus Christ. Adam himself was saved by faith. So was : Abraham, and so were all the Old Testament i Saints. By faith, all the apostles and raar' tyrs, in the early years of the New Testament ! Church, were saved ; and all who, of the present time, are on the narrow road that leads I to life, are walking by faith. So it will con-1 i tinue to be till all the "ransomed Church of ; God is saved to sin no more." There is, per| haps, more 9aid in the Bible about faith, than any other subject. We roignt say tnat tne j whole Bible is a treatise ou faith. Not be| cause faith is the only subject of which the Bible treats, but because faith in Jesus Christ | is subject of the Bible. i When Jesus Christ says, "come unto me," ! he means the same thing as if he had said, believe in me. What are we, then, to understand the Saviour to command us and to invite us to do, when he says, "come unto me." j Evidently, it is both a command and an invitation to do some thing. To obey the Saviour in this particular, is both a duty and a privilege. Since the language is not to be interpreted as applicable to any particular race of men, or to all men at a particular period of the world's history, the Saviour does not command and invite us to perform some physical act or deed. We apprehend the only intelligent meaning that can be attached to the words, "come unto me," is for a sinner to receive Jesus Christ as his Saviour, and to rest upon Jesus Christ alone for salvation, as he is offered to sinners in the Scriptures. | That the sinner may be prepared to receive I Jesus Christ, it is necessary that the sinner be i convinced of his lost and ruined condition. I That this may be effected, God has provided ! ample means. Everything iu and around the { Binner declares that something is wrong. The world is full of misery. Man that is born of woman is of few days, and those few days are full of trouble. Man is born unto trouble as the sparks fly upward. Job 5: 7. The observation of mankind universally, and their i individual experience, corroborate the declarations of the Scriptures on this point. The providence of God convicts men of sin. Of this there can be no doubt. At the door of every man's heart the providence of God knocks, and in tones not to be misunderstood, convicts us all. Something more, however, than conviction is necessary, that the sinner may not be disobedient to the heavenly call. The Bible teaches us that whosoever cometh to God, must believe that God exists; and that he is the rewarder of all them that dili gently seek him. Before the sinner can come to God, he must have a scriptural idea of the existeuce of God. Hence, with great propriety, the inspired Psalmist says, the Word of God is a light to the sinner's feet and a lamp unto his path. The existence and attributes of God can be learned satisfactorily only from the Bible. It is from the Bible that the sinner learns that God can pardon sin. It is from the Bible alone that the sinner can learn anything about the redeeming love of God. He may behold the matchless wisdom, power and goodness of God in everything aronnd him ; but redeeming love is discovered only in the Bible. It is important that we emphasize the fact that it is sinners, and not saints, that Jesus commands and invites to come UDto bim. Dying men are invited to come unto him and live. SinnerB on the broad road that leads to hopeless ruin, are invited to come unto bim that they may reach the haven of eternal rest. Multitudes make a ruinous mistake when they conclude that they muBt, in some way or other, prepare themselves before they come to Jesus to be saved. Those who thus think, have no just notions of their desperate condition. Sick men never ask physicians to wait until they recover, before medicines are administered ; drowning men never bid those offering them assistance to wait until they get out of the deep waters, before they render aid. No, the man who feels that he is going down to rise no more, cries for help now. So the sinner who knows bis spiritual state, cries out, "Help, Lord?make no delay 1" He has no desire to put the thing off for a year or two, or for a day or two ; no, not even for a moment. He feels that his is an urgent case. ^ lnnJ A mon 4-s\ fKn Vjreuuuie uuiiviutiuus jcau a uiau iu 1.110 uu ders of despair, Lord save, or I perish is the feelings of his soul. That man who is saying that he will, some time when he has done this or that thing, go to Jesus, is living in the bond of iniquity without God, and without hope in the world, With out-stretched arms and loving heart, Jesus stands waiting to receive every sinner who will come to him for deliverance from the guilt and pollution of sin. What consumate madness for a dying sinner to say to a waiting Saviour, "I will ? ? ~ " "T *t?ill on/>nnf r\f irnnr nrn. UUU1C 1/U'lUUi I U H ^ "in uwvjiv j vi? i |/< v" fered salvation when life's energies are exhausied, its joys all become stale, and I can find no pleasure in sin." Again, others excuse themselves for not coming to Jesus, because of the short-comings and failures in duty of those who have professedly gone to the Saviour. It is sad that the lives of God's professed people are so in? consistent with their professions. None feel this more than they themselves. The miner may be disappointed that he finds so little gold and so much foreign matter. Still, it is so, and he continues to toil and dig so long as 1 he can find gold. It is the scarcity of gold that gives jt its value, True piety?genuine godliness?though it be very scarqe, is never* theless, a pearl of great prioe. Gold is gold, j no matter bow much counterfeit coin there may ' be in circulation. The simple fact that gold | is counterfeited, shows that it is highly prized, In the same way that men pretend to be I Christians when they are not, shows that there ! are Christians in the world, and that true god; liness is highly prized. ! The reasops that many give for not going to Jesus, are as silly as they are sinful. Ooe I says, "I am too great a sinner to go to Jesus;" another says, "I see men in the Church nqt i as good as I am." All this may be true, and 1 more too; for aught that you or any one knows { there may be many in the region of hopeless i i despair who never were, during the whole of j ; their lives, as wicked as you and many in the | | Church are. Jesus Christ commands us all | to come to him. If we refuse, we shut the i 1 door of heaven on ourselves. Because hypo-1 , crites and the self-deceived will be lost, does not prove that careless neglectors of the Lamb ' : of God will be saved. Because some men ! I are cheats, we are not justibable in becoming 1 drones. Because some wen wilfully do wroug, although professing to do right, we are not warranted in refusing to do right. The graj cious invitation which Jesus makes to every I man is, "Come unto me and be ye saved." THE YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. ; PROSPECTUS FOR 1878. j 81IIBIBAL PREMI0M OFFERS BIIEVID. I !
