Old Bodkin likes a game of euchre, but he is such an inveterate narrator of pioneer incidents, that he often makes it unpleasant for others by trying to play and tell a yarn at the same time. The other evening he began a story just as he and three others sat down to play a social game. He said : "It was in 1849 that a family by the name of Gobins emigrated from Greenbrier County, Ya.?cut for deal?to the glorious West?shucks, I never could cut anything bigger than a ten-spot There were seven in the family; three girls and four boys. The girls were bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked?I pass?graceful gazelles; and two of the boys were big enough to handle their axes and rifles?d'ye~turn it down ? I'll make it clubs?and could help their old father a right smart chance?an ace beats a king every time. Play on a heart. They wound slowly over the Alleghanies, and finally in May, '49, crossed the Ohio Valley?good j enough! Hearts are better'n trumps, but I ] haven't any left?heading straight for Arkan- i saw, intending to make that territory. Hold 1 on! you don't play that on us; my partner j trumped the last trick?their future home? i take it up; best we've got; lead partner, ac- 1 cording to Hoyle. They got away out there in the wilderness, and the weather was getting i hot?that's it. Now we'll come the cross-lift ( on 'em ! Play on that bower! One evening i they stopped near where a spring gushed up? | that makes us a couple more ! Dog my pic- i ture if it woulden't be a good joke if we could I skunk 'em the first game. They thought it i would be a good place to camp, and the old ] man unhitched the horse?well; what a foolish play that was of mine; it let 'em have one < on our deal?and one of the boys ran to the i spring to get a drink?pass?it was one of the : hot springs?play, Cap. ; don't be so undecided?and when he touched lipe to the water? i that's our trick?he bounced up and yelled to i the old man?whose ace is that? Eh? I'll : salivate it with a trump?yelled to the old j man, 'hitch up and drive on, dad ! Hell's not half a mile from here! How did you come by these points! Seems to me you're good 1 counters if you can't play much. Well, sir, it had the effect to?diamonds ? haven't any; pass?change the old man's opinion of Arkansaw and what led ? Spades ? Have a little one?he started across the wilds for Oregon." Thus old Bodkin continued the same narra- i tive through thirteen games, and when the party arose from the table at ten o'clock, Bod- : tin hart ftp finhins familv ftwav nut bevond < the alkali desert in the sage brush, with their horses stolen and two of the girls captured by the Indians?the boys following the Piutes with their rides, and the old woman a raving maniac. And yet the story was not more i than half completed when the party walked off on the narrator. Jerry Black's Story.?Judge Black, of Pennsylvania, tells a comical story of a trial in which a German doctor appeared for the defence in a case of damages brought against , a client of his by the object of his assault, j The eminent jurist soon recognized in his ] witness, who was produced as a medical ex- , pert, a laboring man who some years before and in another part of the country, had been engaged by him as a builder of post-and-rail ] fences. With this cue he opened his cross- , examination. "You say, Doctor," he began : with great deference and suavity, "that you | operated upon Mr. 's head after it was < cut by Mr. ?" , "Oh ! yaw," replied the ex-fence builder, "me do dat; yaw, yaw." \ "Was the wound a very severe one, doctor ?' j "Enough to kill him if I not save his life." , "Well, doctor, what did you do for him ?" "Everyting." "Did you perform the Caesarian operation? "Oh, yaw, yaw; if me not do dat he die." "Did you decapitate him?" "Yaw, yaw; me do dat too." ttaii ksJs) o rvAcf mnrfnm ovamino.

"Well, now, Doctor," and here the Judge bent over in a friend^, familiar way, "tell us ] whether you submitted your patient to the ( process kuown among medical men as post { andrailfenciorum f" , The mock doctor drew himself up indig- j nantly. "Sherry Plack," says he, "I always ] know'd you vas a a tam jayhawk lawyer, an' ; now I know you for a tam mean man."? ( Louisville Courier-Journal. , -?- > j "Fedders."?We were talking to a mis- i sion school on Darius throwing Daniel in the lion's den. We made as clear as we could , the fact that Daniel had a better time that night than the King, slept more sweetly, and J all because he had a quiet conscience. "Darius couldn't sleep, could he ?" By unanimous consent, "No, sir." "And why couldn't Darius sleep ?" "Because he was bad." I Having thus developed the conscience point, we launched our final question with a ! good deal of confidence. "Well, now, dear children, what is it makes 5 the bed soft ?" Quick as a flash from a four-year-old came the reply, "Fedders." That closed the ethi- ! cal discussion. ^ It Vas All Wrong.?A Dutch clergy- ' man was in the habit of giving out two lines * of a hymn at a time for the choir to sing. 1 One dark, rainy day he could not see the words, and said, "Mine eyes ish too dim, I cannot see; I left my specks at home." J The choir, supposing this to be a hymn, struck up to the time of common metre. The old fellow bawed out, "Mein Gott! Mein Gott! dat ish, no hymn. I only said mine eyes vas dim." The choir sang these two lines, setting the old fellow almost crazy. The colored engineer of a train in Georgia a few weeks ago, saw a cow on the track a few hundred yards down the line, whereupon he stopped the train, got out with a shovel in bis hand, and, striking the beast on the back, yelled, Git off dar, d'ye heah ! git off or I'll squirt steam all over yer!" The cow withdrew. 5?* It was a very honest old Dutch judge in Schoharie county, N. Y., who listened for several hours to the arguments of counsel and then said: "Dis case has peen ferry ably argued on both sides, and dare have peen some ferry nice points of law brought up. I shall dake dree days to gonsider dese points, but I shall ewentually decide for de blaintiff." A New Hampshire man got up in the night to light a lamp and fell down dead. Our readers will bear witness that we have always pointed out that this getting up at night is a man's wife's business. Behold the terrible justification of our course!? Cattkill Recorder. "But you know, pa," said the farmer's daughter, when he spoke to her about the [ addresses of his neighbor's son?"you know, j pa, that ma want's me to marry a man of i culture!" "So do I, my dear, so do I, and there'g no better culture in the country than agriculture." M&F He purchased his sweetheart a pair of j1 ten-buttoned kid-gloves, and handed them in j at the door himself. The servant took them, [ and going to the foot of the stairs, bawled ! I out, "Please, miss, here a young man as has 1 brought a pair of leggins." j8 SSF "Mother, what is an angel ?" "An ' 1 angel ? Well, an angel is a child that flies." , c "But, mother, why does papa always call my t governess an angel ?" "Well," explained the s mother, after a moment's pause, "she is go- s ing to fly immediately." 11 _ 11 ff?" An old bachelor said he once fell in ) love with a young lady, but abandoned all J idea of marrying ner when he found that she t and all her family were opposed to it. 8 and HINTS ON HOBSE KEEPING. The wide stall is a luxury, and ought to be )ix or, even ten feet wide, if room can be spared. Loose boxes are important forhor?es of great value; in such stalls they can ;et perfect repose by changing their position, recover from the fatigue of a hard day's drive rod be ready for their task the next day. rhe food best adapted to the horse is oats and aay of the best quality, occasionally varied with a bran mash, with turnips or carrots as in alterative. The growth and development >f bone and muscle depend greatly on the food :hey eat. It is important to select such as contains all the elements needed to form the * i n.t i Ti Done ana muscie 01 menorse. xl is och-cvilent that the nutritive matter supplied by the food must be equal to the exhaustion, or natural waste of the body, to keep up the condition. The horse that is about to be driven on a journey needs hardening by exercise?preparing by sweating out the body to purify and increase the circulation of the blood, and also by hand-rubbing the legs to make them firm and elastic?a preparation, in some degree, corresponding with that attained by the horse that is daily driven on the road for ordinary work. For one week previous to the start, ttyey need dai|y exercise, commencing''with sight or ten miles, and gradually increasing to twenty per day. This exercise with appropriate food, will harden their muscles, strengthen their limbs and prepare them to perform their tasks without giving out on the road, materially declining in flesh, or seriously exhausting their physical powers. If we perform long drives with horses accustomed to short work only, the sudden transition from indolence to great exertion will relax their muscles, weaken their joipts, depress their spirits and break down their con-* stitution. The leading cause of so many valuable horses being spoiled by long drives is from being short of work. They are not prepared for such severe exertions. Condition will prepare them to perform their work cheerfully, last out with sound limbs, and preserve their constitutional vigor for future usefulness. National Live Stock Journal. B? THE* ROADSIDES. As one walks along the roads in the country, if .he is an obseryaut man, he may learn manv lessons of value. The dwellers along _ . the roadsides may not suspect that their characters may be read very plainly by the condition of the road in front of their houses, and the appearance of their surroundings. But it is so, and every man has a certificate of character, exhibited at his door, or upon his fence, for the passersby to read. For instance, just now we may see roadsides white with the wild carrot or other pestiferous weeds. This shows that the owner is careless and thriftless, because he is suffering injurious weeds to multiply, and lay up future trouble for him ; that he is selfish and regardless of what is due to his neighbor, because he is act ually injuring the latter's property by stocking it with weeds, and laying up trouble for him as well as for himself; also that he is not a law-abiding, or at least, that be is a thoughtless citizen, because he observes neither the written law which, in nearly every State, obliges every owner or occupier of property to destroy injurious weeds upon his premises; nor the unwritten law of justice and kindness to his neighbor, which would impel him to "do as he would be done by." So it is with Bverything about the house, the gardens, the yards, barns, stables and fields. A man's character is set forth by these as plainly as if it were printed in the largest type, and hung up for public inspection upon his front fence. Actions speak louder than words, and by our works we shall be judged. The moral of this little homily is so plain that nothing further need be said as to its application. Let every man judge himself by it, however, and not his neighbor. Then some good may result. And this is the very time when action in this regard will be the most effective.?Rural New Yorker. To Cure and Dry Beef Tongues.?A brine should be prepared as loiiows; r or i dozen tongues take as much water as will cov ir them entirely?6 quarts will be about the right quantity. Put to the water 1 quart of yood clear salt, 1 pint of molasses, 1 pound of brovm sugar, and 4 good sized red peppers. Put over the fire and bring to a boil. Take Dff all scum that may arise, and set aside to ;et cold. Pack the tongues in a large jar or light firkin, and pour the brine over them vhen thoroughly cold, put on them a clean, veil seasoned board, fitted into the jar or fir dn, and on top of the board lay a clean imooth stone, sufficiently heavy to keep the ;ongues firmly under the brine. Leave them n it 12 days, then take them out, hang them ip to drain. Then hang them to smoke two lays, and when dry put them in canvas bag>r flour-sacks, that, after being emptied, have jeen washed, dried and laid away for just such purposes. Hang these bags with the tongues n a cool, dry place, where the sun will not strike on them. When one is needed for use vash it in two or three waters, pot over the Ire in cold water, and let it boil slowly, or a steady simmer, six or eight hours, till quite ander, keeping it well covered with water virile cooking, adding boiling water wheD the Irst boils away. When tender take it out, set iside to cool, but never take off the skin till leeded for the table. A Useful Paste.?A correspondent of the Evening Poet gives the following recipe for a j jaste for use in making scrap Dooks : i cnsiolve a piece of alum the size of a waluut in a lint of boiling water; to this I add a couple >f tablespoonsfuls of flour, made smooth in a ittle cold water, and a few drops of oil of doves, letting the whole come to a boil. This jaste will keep for months. I put it in glass are used for canning, or well cleaned blackng bottles. I use a half-inch bristle brush, ivhich costs but a few pennies. This paste is landy, too, for domestic purposes. My chilIren have many toys that come in wooden joxes, but these will break at the corners, and loon come to pieces. When a box begins to jive out, I take a piece of cambric or calico, ind with the brush and paste cover the box to that it will bear constant usage for months, j Then if the cover gives out, I pull it off and j jut on another one. Again, a doll's arm or | eg will come off; but a piece of muslin and a 1 )it of paste restores the article, so that it is as jood as it was before." J?" Spiced corned beef is a fine relish and I /ery easily prepared. Get ten pounds of the I jest beef, that which is used for drying?the 'ramp" or "round"?is the most desirable. J Mix two cups of salt, two of molasses, two ta- j jlespoonfuls of saltpeter, one tablespoonf'ul jround pepper, one of ground cloves, half a ablespoonful cinnamon, and a teaspoonful ind a half of red pepper, and, if fancied, half i tablespoouful of allspice, and a slight sprink- j ing of herbs (a little sage, thyme and sweet naijoram), not more than half a teaspoonful jfeach. Stir all together and rub well into! he beef. Let it stand in whatever liquor is 1 eft from the first rubbing twentyfour hours, j hen turn over and rub in the seasoning again, j Continue this for ten days when it will be | eady for use. Mirth at Meal Time.?Everybody should j dan to have pleasant conversation at the ; able, just as they have good food. A little itory-telling, a little reading, it may be of hunorous thing, anecdote, etc., will often stjmuate the joyous elements of the mind and i jause it to act vigorously. Try to avoid going j o the table all tired out. Let all troublenine topics be avoided. Think and say omething pleasant. Cultivate mirth, and augh when anything witty is said. If possi- j )le never eat alone. Invite a friend of whom rou are fond, and try to have a good time, friendship and friendly intercourse at theta>le whet the appetite and promote the flow of tniraal spirits.

Never run the risk of wearying her 1 with your presence. Be just as honest and t straightforward as in your honorable dealing * with men. Impress your friends with the r worthiness and seriousness of your love, so j J. that vulgar and senseless bantering will ap- j, pear to them as such. Love is religion?the j supremest happiness; wear it manfully and ' proudly, but holily. Woo a woman bravely. : 1: If there is anything humiliating to a woman, J \ it is to have a lover whom she wishes to honor, j i weak and vapid, ever yieldingand half afraid J J of her. She longs to tell him to "act like a : j.1 man!" The man who conceals or denies his ' (j love, for fear of being laughed at, is a cow- j v ard. A love that has no divinity in it is not j f love, but passion, which, of itself, has nothing , s ennobling. That was a beautiful inscription 1 e on an engagement ring: "Each for the other J11 and both for God." ! f - r fig?* One day a young man preached before the conference on Lot's wife.
