fiumarous ONE-HALF TO THE INFORMANT. In view of the interest taken in removing the forty lashes save one for petty offenses, we take from the Charlottesville Chronicle the following amusing story of how it was administered in Virginia in the good old times: In colonial times, when Colonel Archibald Cary was a magistrate, living at Williamsburg, a man who was much disliked by his neighbors, on account of his vindictiveness and general meanness, came before the old Colonel and informed him that his neighbor, John Brown, had violated the game law by killing a deer before the 1st of September. Now, although Brown was a good, honest poor man, much esteemed by his acquaintances, Esquire Cary was bound to issue a warrant tor his arrest, and when .Brown appeared before him he confessed that he had killed the deer, knowing at the time that he was violating the law; but that his wife had a great longing for venison, and knowing that deer daily frequented his corn field, she gave him no peace. He had begged her to wait a little while, till the 1st of September, but she vowed she could not wait 80 he killed the deer. The old magistrate, seeming full of compassion, said: "Brown, the law is explicit; you will have to pay the fine, which is ?5." "Lord bless your heart, Col. Cary," said Brown, "all I have on earth would not sell for ?5." "Well, then," said the Justice, turning to the law and reading, without paying strict attention to punctuation or the exact position of the words, 'Whoever shall be guilty of shooting, snaring, trapping, or in any way killing a deer within this, his Majesty's Colony of Virginia, at any time between the 1st of May and the 1st of September, shall pay a fine of ?5, and if he is unable to do this, the punishment shall be awarded of thirty nine lashes on the bare back, well laid on, onehalf to be given to the informant and the other half to the King." "Mr. Constable," said his Honor, "as we are enjoined to do justice and love mercy, and wdere an odd amouni, which is not capable of an equal division, is to be divided between a rich man and a poor man, I always give the poor man the larger share; you will, therefore, give the informant in this case the twenty lashes, and whenever you catch his Majesty, the King, in this colony, you will then give him the nineteen." So the majesty of the law was maintained, much to the satisfaction of all who knew the odious informant. The Chaplain's Innocent Hint.?Some time ago a prisoner named Reilly escaped from the Eastern Penitentiary by concealing himself under the body of a wagon which brought supplies to the institution. Before the vehicle reached Market street, Reilly snatched a cape from a lady, was apprehended and sent to Moyamensing Prison. Here he was visited by oue of the officials connected with the Penitentiary. "Well, Reilly," said the officer, "what did you run away for ?" "Don't blame me; put it on the man who got up the scheme, and who told me to do it," was the reply. "Who was that?" was the question. "Why, the chaplain," quoth Reilly. "Say no more ; I will bring the chaplain," said the official. In due time the chaplain, who was a good and holy man, and who was horror-stricken at the charge, confronted Reilly. "Now, Reilly, here is the chaplain," said the official. "Chaplain, Reilly charges you with encouraging him to get out of prison," added the official. "So you did," answered Reilly, complacently. "It is not so, you villain! You are not telling the truth, and you know it!" spoke up the chaolain. "Hold on!" cried Reilly. "The last time you saw me you said: 'Reilly, watch and pray,' didn't you ?" "Yes," added the chaplain. "Well, I did watch, and I prayed, and I prayed and watched, and the first answer that came to my prayers was that wagon, and I slid out on it," was Reilly's answer The chaplain acknowledged that Reilly had caught him, only he meant for the convict to watch and pray in another direction. Philadelphia Record. ? ? How He Cered Them.?Many a congregation make it a part of their religion to twist their necks out of joint to witness the entrance of every person who passes up the aisle of the church. Being worried one afternoon by this turning practice in his congregation, Mr. Dean stopped in his sermon and said : "Now, you listen to me and I'll tell you who the people are as each one of them comes in." He then went on with his discourse until a gentleman entered, when he bawled out like an usher: "Deacon A., who keeps a shop over the way." He again went on with his sermon, when presently another man passed into the aisle, and he gave his name, residence and occupation. So he continued for some time. At length, some one opened the door who was unknown to Mr. Dean, when he cried out: "A little, old man, with drab coat and an old white hat. Don't know him; look for yourselves." The congregation was cured.? Cleveland Leader. Police Philosophy.?A badly frightened stranger, whose dress betrayed the fact that he hadn't much ready cash, called at a police station and complained that two men had been following him around for several hours with a view to robbery. "Well, you'd better leave your money here until you get ready to leave town," suggested the captain. "But I haven't got any?not a dollar," was the reply. "Then how can they rob you ?" "That's so?never thought of that," chuckled the man as his face brightened. "After they've gone to the trouble of knocking me down and dragging me into some alley, they won't find a red in ray pockets?ha! ha! ha!" He went away highly delighted, declaring that a great burden had been taken off his mind. An After Election Weep.?Yesterday afternoon a boy of 10, who had been caught out in the soaking rain and well drenched, was standing in a doorway on Michigan avenue, wiping his eyes and nose by turns, when a second lad about his own age came along j feeliug a good deal worse. "W-what ails you ?" sobbed the second, as | he halted and looked the other over. "I-I got all wet, and I've I?lost a cent!" was the reply. "Is that all!" indignantly demanded the "thnn ttauM Kotto?? win Knmn?xrnn Vininyt mat, iiicu j v/u V4 x uu uvrnv j v . got do right to cry!" "B-but you are c-crying, too!"

How Many Eggs Can a Hen Lay.? There has been so much loose talk about the total number of eggs a hen is capable of laying and her yearly yield under fairly good treatment, that it is a satisfaction to come across something beyond guess work or mere inference on the matter. The foundation of science is accurate observation, and when a scientist publishes a statement, it is presumable that it is based on this foundation. Its accuracy, too, is confirmed, if it is quoted with approval by other men of wide experience and knowledge on the subject involved in it. Now, Geyelin says, and Prof. Miles, in his excellent work on stock-breeding, quotes him with approval: "It has been ascertained that the ovarium of a fowl is composed of a? o viptl 8IA UUUU1CU UVUlto u1 , wi/ivwiv, k uv.m during the whole of her life, cannot possibly lay more eggs than six hundred, which, in a natural course, are distributed over nine years in the following proportion : First year after birth, 15 to 20 Second " 41 100 to 120 Third 44 44 120 to 135 Fourth 44 " 100 to 115 Fifth 44 - 60 to 80 Sixth 44 44 50 to 60 Seventh 44 44 35 to 40 Eighth 44 44 . 15 to 20 Ninth 44 44 1 to 10 Inasmuch as experience demonstrates that some breeds of hens are vastly more prolific than others, this statement, of course, can be applicable only to the average of poultry.? Rural New Yorker. A Remedy for Baldness.?Dr. George H. Rohe, of Atlanta, says that he has cured himself and others of baldness. His remedy is a solution of French or German soft soap and alcohol, with which the head must be thoroughly shampooed every morning. The following is the prescription, which can be filled by any druggist: "R. Saponin viridis (Germ.), alcoholia, two ounces each; solve, filtra, et adde ol. lavandulce gtt. xx.?xxx." The lavender is added to cover the odor of the soap. After the shampooing, the soap must be all removed with warm water and the hair dried with a soft towel. "The immediate effect," the doctor says, is a disagreeable feeling of tension of the scalp, as if it were stretched too tightly over the skull. To obviate this effect, and to keep the scalp from getting too dry, and thus, perhaps, set up a true pityriasis, it is necessary to follow up the shampooing with some fatty application which may contain some mild stimulant, thus: Castor oil, one part, to alcohol, three or four parts, with a little oil of rosemary or cinnamon," or any good pomade may be used. But the patient must not be alarmed if his hair falls out faster than ever for a while. This is due to the fact that many hairs are dead, and only retained in their follicles by the plugging of the sheath with the accumu lated sebaceous matter. Examine the (Jombs.?it is the easiest thing in the world when you know how 'tis done?to tell when your fowls are in ill health, even in the incipient stages of any disease or ailment, if you but examine your flock carefully. The comb of each fowl is a true index to the workings of their systems. If they be in ill health, the tomb will lose color and will become far less firm in texture; as the malady increases the color decreases, till a very sick bird will show a comb almost devoid of scarlet color, being of a livid dull crimson, or else pale or ashy in appearance. If the cholera or any disease should come into the flock, carefully examine the combs of each bird, morning and night, and all those which are wanting in that bright, rich color which denotes perfect health, remove at once from the flock to a place remote, where they should at once be put under medical treatment. The comb of the fowl is an honest index of the true inwardness, and should daily be con suited by the fancier who values the health and well being of his flock. Look at the comb of a laying hen or pullet! She is in the height of health and strength and carries her unfailing sign of healthfulness on her head, in the shape of a blood-red, bright and full comb. A vigorous cock or cockerel will carry the same sign, though not, perhaps, in so eminent a degree.?American Poultry Yard. Sick Headache.?This complaint is the result of eating too much and exerting too little. Nine times out of ten the cause is in factjjiat the stomach was not able to digest the food last introduced into it, either from its having been unsuitable or excessive in quantity. A diet of bread and butter, with ripe fruits or berries, with moderate, continuous exercise in the open air, sufficient to keep up a gentle perspiration, would cure almost every case in a short time. Two tea spoonfuls of powdered charcoal in half a glass of water, and drank, generally gives instant relief. We are inclined to think that the above remedies may do in some, but not in all cases. A sovereign remedy for this disease is not easily found. A correspondent contributes the following on this subject: Sick headache is periodical, and is the signal of distress which the stomach puts up to inform us that there is an over-alkaline condition of its fluids; that it needs a natural acid to re store the battery to its normal working condition. When the first symptoms of a headache appear, take a teaspoouful of lemon juice fifteen minutes before each meal, and the same dose at bed time ; follow this up until all symptoms are passed, taking no other remedies, and you will soon be able to go free from your unwelcome nuisance. Many will object to this because the remedy is too simple, but I have made many cures this way. The Recipe for Prosperity.?1. Let every youth be taught some useful art and ! trained to industry and thrift. 2. Let every young man lay aside and keep sacredly intact a certain {portion of his earnings. 3. Let every one set out in life with a fixed determination to engage in business for himself, and let him put his determination into practice as early in life as possible. 4. Begin in a small and safe way, and extend your business as experience will teach you is advantageous. 5. Keep your own books and know constantly what you are earning and just where you stand. 6. Do not marry until in receipt of a toler- i able income?sufficient to live on comfortably. 7. Let every man who is able, buy a farm on which to bring up his sons. It is from the i farm the best men are turned out, morally and intellectually. 8. Bear in mind that your business cannot! be permanently prosperous unless you share its advantages equally with your customers. * How to Utilize Old Fruit Cans.?Perhaps one the most appropriate uses of an old fruit can that can be devised, is to make it contribute to the growth of new fruit to fill new cans. This is done in the following manner : The can is pierced with one or more pin holes, and then sunk in the earth near the roots of the strawberry or tomato or other plants. The pin holes are to be of such size that when the j can is filled with water, the fluid can only escape into the ground very slowly. Thus a quart can, properly arranged, will extend its j irrigation to the plant for a period of several /in,,:,. ?'or> is th?n refilled. Practical tri UCVJiI , mv. ? als of this method of irrigation leave no donbt of its success. Plants thus watered flourish and yield the most bounteous returns throughout the longest drouths. In all warn; localities j where water is scarce, the planting of old fruit cans, as here indicated, will be found profitable as a regular gardening operation.?Scientific American. An English gentlemen says: For sixteen years I was a cripple from gout, and I j never knew what a month was without a serious attack, when some one told me to eat what I liked, but to drink uothiug except milk. I have done thie for ten months, and have not yet had a twinge. i fteadiug fat tW JMfrfatfc. j' . . ; "t i . > "? ? CONDUCTED BY " t REV. ROBERT LATHAN, 1 ON THE DEATH OF AN INFANT. Oh ! sister, raise thy drooping bead, Say wherefore dost thou weep ? Thy darling babe, she is not dead, She's only "gone to sleep She slumbers now in heaven above, Secure from sin and care, Her smiles the brightest angel? love, And guard lier footsteps there. * I gazed upon that babe's sweet form, , Where death had sethis seal, And saw a radiance like the morn, Upon those features steal; The eyes serenely blue and bright, The rosy lips were closed, And on that brow of marble white, Soft golden curls reposed. The smile was such as angels wear In that bright spirit-land, And seemed to say: "Thy babe we bear, To join tho Seraph band: We take this bud, too fair, tod pnre, Earth's sorrows to defy, And life's dark, heavy ills endure? God calls it to the sky !" Methonght I heard a heavenly song Breathed on the air of even, . , And rustling wings?an angel throng Then bore thy babe to Heaven ! And laid her on the Saviour's breast In that celestial home, That place of pure and perfect rest, Where sorrow cannot come. And would'st thou have thy child forsake That holy place of rest? Say, if thou conld'st, Oh! would'st thou take Thy babe from Jesus' breast? Ah! no, but when life's close is near, And death stands waiting by, Pray that thine angel babe appear, To guidejthep.tp the sky. t ;., CHRIST'S FIRST SERMON AT NAZARETH. We are told that when our Lord had finished His sermon at Nazareth, His hearers "bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of 'His mouth." They could not find any flaw in the exposition of Scripture they had heard. They could not deny Hie- beauty of the wellchoeen language to whipb ihoy.hadJusteneiL "iNever man spaxe nae mis man. nuuneir hearts were .utterly unmoved and unaffected. In short, there'seems to hive'been no effect produced on them, except a little teraphririy feeling of admiration. It is vain to conceal from ourselves that there are thousands of persons, in Christian churches, in little better state of mind than our Lord's hearers at Nazareth. There are thousands who listen regularly to the preaching of the Gospel, and admire it while they listen. They do not dispute the truth of what they hear. They even feel a kind of intellectual pleasure'in "hearing a good and powerful sermon. But their religion never goes beyond this point. Their sermon hearing does not prevent them from living a life of thoughtlessness, worldliness and sin. Let us often examipe ourselves on this important point. Let us see what practical effect is produced on our hearts and lives jhy the preaching which we profess to like. Dots it lead us to true repentance towards God, and lively faith towards our Lord Jesus Christ? Does it excite us to weekly efforts to cease from sin, and to resist the deyil,? These are the fruits which sermons ought to produce, if they are really doing us good. Without such fruit, a mere barren admira.tion is utterly worthless, -ft is no proof of grace. It will save no soul.?Rylss' Expof.tory Thoughts. . Christ's Diligence About Private Prayer.?Although "great multitudes came together to.hear, and to be heaj^d by him of their infirmities,"" He still made time for secret devotion. Holy and undefiled as Hb was, He would not allow the demands of pub lie business to prevent regular private intercourse with God. We are told that."He; withdrew himself into the wilderness and prayed." , There is an example set before us here, which is much overlooked in these latter days. There are few professing Christians,jt may be fua-ed, who strive to imitate Christ in this matter of private devotion.- There is abundance of hearing, and reading, and talking, and p-ofeesion^ and visiting, and alms-giving, and subscribing to societies; aflbjl teaching at schools. But is there, together with all this, a due proportion of privata prayer ? Are believing men and women sufficiently careful to be frequently alone with God? These are humbling and heart-searching questions. But we shall find it useful to give them an answer. Why is it that there is much apparent religious working, and yet so little result in positive conversions to God?so many sermons, and so few souls saved?so much ma-' chinery, and so little effect produced?so much running hither and thither, and yettO few brought to Christ? Why is all this? The reply is short and simple. There is not enough private prayer. The cause of Christ does not ueed les3 working, but it does need, . among the workers, more praying. Let us each examine ourselves, and amend our ways. The most successful workmen in tha Lord's vineyard, are those who are like their Master, often and much upon their knees.? Ibid. s* {, - - * ^ f n ?f The Complaint that the disciples op John, the baptist, fast, whilst Christ's * -i -i l.i 1 _'l nid not.?Agreeipg, &s uiey uouAuega tutu, about the necessity of repentapce, and faith, and holiness, they disagreed about such matters as fasting, eating, drinking, and manner of public devotion. One in heart, and hope, and aim, as they were about the weighter matters of inward religion, they were hot entirely of one mind about outward matters. We must make up our minds to see differences of this kind among Christians so long as the world stands. We may regret them much, because of the handle they give to a:a ignorant and prejudiced world. But they will exist, and are one of the many evidences of our fallen condition. About church government, about the manner of conducting public worship, about fasts and feasts, and saint's days, and ceremonials, Christians have never been entirely of one mind, even from the days of the apostles. On all these points the holiest and ablest servants of God have arrived at different conclusions. Argument, reasoning, persuasion, persecution, have all alike proved unable to produce unity. Let us, however, bless God that there are many points on which all true servants of God are thoroughly agreed. About siu and salvation, about repentance, and faith, and holiness, there is a mighty unity among all believers, of .every name, and nation, and people, and tongue. Let us make much of these points in our own personal religion. These, after all, are the principal things we shall think of in the hour of death, and the day of judgment. On other matters we must J ( agree to differ. It will signify little at the last day what we thought about fasting, and , eating, and drinking, and ceremonies. ?Did we repent, and bring forth fruit meet for re- i pentance? Did we behold the Lamb of God , by faith, and receive Him as our Saviour ?j All, of every church, who are found right on , these points, will be suved. All, of every 11 church, who are found wrong on these points, i will be lost forevermore.?Ibid. ' J< j \ There is no trait in the human charac-1 ] ter so potential for weal or woe as firmness of | purpose.
