A Story of a Trail.?She was a tall, stout individual and sprang out of the wagon as lightly as a spring chicken after a grasshopper. He was a little, withered, dried up weasel, and followed slowly, bringing a basket of eggs with him. They entered one of our stores and she asked : "What are you givin'for eggs?" "Eight cents," was the reply of the counter jumper. "Well, here are three dozen," said the fat party, "and I'll take it out in calico." "But I want some yarn to mend up my socks," put in the old man. "The weather is warm," replied the fat party, "and you can go without socks." "But my boots hurt my feet," insisted the old man. "Go barefooted," said she rather sharply. Then turning to the clerk, she changed her tone, and remarked : "Young man, please count out the eggs and give me four yards of calico to match this 'ere dress." "But?" the old man was going to continue, when she raised her huge index finger and said: "Henry Winter Davis Spriggins, them "ere eggs are mine; the hens what laid 'em are mine; the corn what fed 'em was mine, aud I'se going to have a trail on this ere dress as long as Betsy Gowen's, if every toe on your foot turne into gumbiles. Now, shut! And you, youngster, yank off four yards of that 'ere calico, or you will hear a bumble bee a buzzin." The old man shut, and the clerk yanked off the calico. Everybody's Experience.?A story is told of one of the grand jurors from Northfield, Vt., in attendance upon the last terra of court at AlontpeJier. Me was afraid tliat ne would not awake in time to take the six o'clock train for the capital, which he had talked over with his wife on retiring. He had just got into a sound sleep when his faithful spouse woke him, suggesting that it must be time to get up. He did, found it was only midnight, and retired again. Soon he was again aroused, and this time upon consulting the clock, it proved to be only 2 A. M. Sorawhat disgusted and angered at being so often broken of his slumbers, he again sought his couch, admonishing his wife thus: "Look here, you keep your elbow out of my back and your mouth out of my ear till morning." Feeling herself relieved of any further responsibility, she went to sleep for good and left her lord and master to wake when he chose, which he did at 4 o'clock. Thinking it would not pay to try to get any more sleep, he built a tire, put on his overcoat and hat, took his valise in his hand, and sat down before the fire for the few minutes. Meanwhile, his wife slumbered on until 7 o'clock, when she awoke to find him gone, whereat she felt quite badly, saying she intended to have got him a warm breakfhst. Leisurely proceeding to dress herself, she sought the kitchen, where, to her astonishment she beheld her husband sitting bolt upright in his chair before the stove, fast asleep, with the train gone over an hour. A Landlord's Error.?A few days ago, during one of bi3 rounds through his palatial hotel, the landlord entered a room suddenly and discovered a window-washer leisurely engaged in reading a newspaper. Being very active himself, he had no use for a lazy man, or one who slights his work. He discharged the washer on the spot, and ordered him to go to the office for his pay. The man obeyed, got his money, went to his room on the upper floor, arrayed himself in his Sunday suit, packed his duds, and descended to the servant's apartment to take leave of his former associates. About this time Mr. Palmer entered, but didn't recognize his quondam employee in his store clothes. "Here, my man, you look as tho' there was good work in you ; do you want a job?" The ex-washer, somewhat surprised, admit ted that he stood in need of one. "Can you wash windows ?" The man allowed he could. "Well," said Mr. Palmer, "I've just discharged a man who had been doing that sort of work. I paid him $20 a month, but if you will take the place and go right to work I'll pay you $22. The position was quietly accepted, and in half an hour the discharged employee was scrubbing away in the same old room. Paying for His Whistle.?Not many years ago, when a lofty building was on the point of completion, the mason who was finishing the highest portion was in the habit of whistling to the laborer who was attending him, whenever he wanted a fresh supply of lime, and, as the scaffold on which he wrought was rather small, this occurred very often during a day's work. A joiner, who was fitting in a window immediately underneath, noticing Pat answer dutifully to every whistle from the mason, thought of playing a trick on him by imitating the whistle, and thus brought him up with a hodful of lime when there was no room tor it. The mason told Pat that he had not whistled, so he had no other alternative than to trudge back with his load. This having occurred for the third time during one day, Pat thought he would watch to hear where the whistle came from. He had not waited long, with the hod on his shoulder, when he heard the identical whistle directly underneath where he stood, and leaning over, he saw the head of the joiner protruding out of the window immediatelv below. Pat, without more ado, emptied the hod right over the whistler's head. The joiner yelled and spluttered while attempting to clear himself from the adhesive mass, and, in the midst of his confusion, heard Paddy above Bhouting at the top of his voice: "Whistle when you want more mortar!" ? Doctor and Theologian.?In the same town with a very orthodox divine, Rev. Dr. Emmons, lived the very unorthodox and Uniyersalist physician, Dr. Bugbee. One morning they chanced to meet upon the highway. "Good-morning, doctor," said the physician, reining in his horse. The theologian returned the salutation, and the physician continued : "I had a remarkable dream last night. I dreamed that I died and that I went straight to hell." The follower of Calvin smiled approvingly, as though that denouement was just what might have been expected. "I knocked at the door, not doubting that I should be promptly admitted; but you can judge of my surprise when the door-keeper said to me, "You can't come in, for we are expecting Dr. EmrnoDS every minute, and when he gets here we shall have our hands full.'" Without another word, the hard-headed physician picked up his horse and rode on. ? ? A colored firm recently dissolved partnership, and posted the following notice to the public: "De dissolution of coparsnips heretofore resisting between me and Mose Jcnes in de barber profession, am hereto dissolved. Pursons who owe must pay de subscriber. Dem what de firm ose must call on Jones, as de firm is insolved." *^*It was left for the Elmira Gazette to * discover that "The prominent religious features in some men's devotion is the amount of noise they make in yelling 'amen!' and the extreme silence they assume when asked how much they will give toward some charitable object." 4?" "Do you call that clothes ?" sternly said a British customs official to the woman who had sworn that there was nothing in her trunk but clothes for herself and husband, and as he spoke he pointed to six bottles of brandy. "Yes," said she softly, "those are his night caps." aST A minister told a beautiful young girl, who was about to become a bride, that she must remember that the man and wife are one. "Lord!" said she, "if you were under my father and mother's window when they are quarreling, you'd think they were at least a dozen." Mkt jfarm and fireside. j HOW TO HALTEB BREAK A COLT. When the colt is three weeks old, or thereabouts, he should be broken to the halter, and this should be done properly; for this is the first act which brings his will and strength in opposition to man's, and should be so done i as to convey clearly and decidedly man's | superiority, and his inability to contend with him. Early impressions in the case of animals, as truly as in the case of children, are lasting; and here and now, in this first step in educating the colt, the impression should be indellibly stamped upon his mind that man is his master. And this can and should be done without violence or cruel force. I will explain my method of treatment, and the reasons therefor. Inquire, then, what the groom or educator of the colt proposes to do. | This evidently: He proposes, in the first place, to teach the colt to follow after or by the side; that is, keep close to the one who is leading him by the halter. In the second place, he proposes to show the colt that he cannot successfully resist him ; that he is not so strong as a man. This lesson once taught the colt, this impression once fairly imbedded in his mind, he will never after, in all his life, forget it He will live and die with the idea in bis head that man is stronger than he. And this is a most valuable lesson for a colt to learn, and to learn early?it saves much after-labor and many risks. Well, then to the method : I put a head-halter on, made of soft material, so that it will not cut into his tender skin, and so made that the checkpieces will not draw into his eyes when he pulls back or struggles; and when this is done?quietly and gently, with pleasant words and kind caresses?I step out in front of him, aud planting myself squarely, so that he shall not with all his efforts move me from ray tracks, pull steadily on the halter, saying all the time, while the pressure on him is be ing increased, "Come, sir; come!" Sometimes the colt will come, yielding to the pressure ; in which case pat him kindly, so as to make him feel that he has done the right thing; and then step forward, and repeat the slight pressure aud the kind command. In many cases I have found this enough ; and the colt was "halter broke" before you knew it, as one might say. But more often, as soon as the little fellow felt the pressure of the pull upon the halter, alarmed, and vexed too, perhaps, at this (as he regards it) rude interference with his liberty, he would "set back" upon the halter, resisting the pressure with all his strength. When this is the case, stand firm?simply hold your own. Don't twitch him, or "yank" him about, or drag him forward violently. Let him pulL Every moment is exhausting his strongth, and increasing the pain he feels by reason of the halter bands being draw into him; and, after a few seconds of resistance, discouraged, and unable to endure the pain his own effort is causing him, he will give one great wrench, rear up, and plunge toward you. The pressure and the pain are remitted and standing by your side, your arm over his moistened neck,and hand kindly patting him, he learns this sweet lesson?that nearness to the one that is leading him means absence of pain. This once understood by the colt, he is thoroughly halter broke. With ? - f _ a J this he has also got another idea?that you are stronger than he. Had you tied him to a post, and let him "pull it out" as the phrase is, he would have got no such idea?the post or tree, not man, would have been his master. Or, had you waited until he was a year or even six months old, be would have been stronger than you ; and he would have found it out too. In his match first against man, man would have been beaten. He, not you, would be the master, at the halter exercise at least; and, while he might have followed you after a time, still you would have lost the opportunity of impressing him with his powerlessuess when arrayed against man, which a wise ed ucator will always seek to give to every colt he takes in hand. How unwise, viewed in this light, is that neglect to break colts to the halter, even un til they are three or four, or even five years of age! "Children," says a thoughtful writer, "are made obedient before they are old enough to talk;" and colts, it might be add ed, are made obedient to man, if properly educated, long before they are old enough to use in harness. Now and then, the colt, il he be of high spirit and lusty, will struggle long, and make a real "fight over itand, to avoid accidents in case that he should reel and fall, select for the school ground a spot of soft greensward, free from stones, in order that his falls may be harmless to him. Be sure also, in case of falling, that you keep his head from striking the ground heavily ; irhif>K Tnn nan nlwnvs Hn hp.r>A.llSfl Vrtlir hftnH J ? ~~~ J J is on the halter, by which it can be supported. This, in brief, is the manner in which I give my colts their first lesson in that course of education, which, when completed, has brought them to that degree of intelligence and docility at which they can be ridden without bridle or halter; driven without reins, hold-backs, or breeching band; and find their joy in serving me, as I find mine in watching and caring for them.?Rev. W. H. Murray. Diversifying Products for Success.? Some principal reasons why a system of mixed farming, which includes the raising of stock largely, is surer and more profitable, is that thus the farm is kept up to its original fertility, and, often to increased fertility. These farmers never make an entire failure in crops, however bad the season. His fat stock gives him cash returns twice a year if necessary; once in the spring from winter feeding, and again in the autumn from pasturage. In the case of sheep, this gain is added to by the wool sold in the summer. His dairy and poultry yard will furnish no small sum during the spring, summer and autumn. The milk, butter and cheese, and a well kept vegetable garden, will furnish one half the living of the family. These rules, as stated, are general ones. They will apply to all sections of the country, north, south, east and west, being modified only by climat ic conditions and the adaption of certain animals and plants to a climate. The rule will apply always. The farmer who raises the greatest variety of crops or auimals which his soil is capable of sustaining is, all things considered, the best and most successful. Correct Speaking.?What is it to speak correctly! It is to accustom ourselves to speak and write accurately, having special care to use no language or utter any statement that is not elegaDt or strictly truthful. Avoid the use of all slang words and phrases. They are odious, and no amount of personal grace in the speaker can compensate for the disagreable effect that the use of slang has upon the hearer. When once the habit of using these slang phrases has been formed, it is almost impossible to eradicate it. Youth is the best time to acquire correct language. It does not require wealth ; the poorest can obtain the faculty. And how ? By using the language of books?in other words, that which one reads. Form the taste of the best speakers and writers ; treasure up choice phrases, and accustom yourself to their use. But do not fall into the opposite error of selecting only that which is pompous and high sounding, for that will make one ridiculous. But choose the language which is terse, expressive and clear, and the habit of correct speaking soon becomes fixed, and makes it a pleasure to listen to you. Fertilizer for Irish Potatoes.?The best manure for Irish potatoes, is a compost I abounding in well-rotted or decomposing veg- i etable matter, mixed with ashes and used in i connection with a moderate quantity of well- i rotted stable manure or cotton seed. Cotton ! seed or stable manure alone will make good crops, but the quality is inferior to that of those raised from the combination suggested above., The compost may be applied in any quantity, j the more the better?the ashes, 20 to 30 , bushels, cotton seed 10 to 15 bushels, stable manure (rotted) 2 or 3 wagon loads (2 horse), per acre. i fvcatlwg for the JNMtatb. CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. (.Original ] THE UNITY OF GOD. No subject is so important as that of God. ! Of many subjects we may be profoundly ig- t norant, and still not peril our interests, either t I of soul or body, either for time or eternity. c Only a few individuals know anything about ^ astronomy, chemistry, geology or mineralogy, s Of all these subjects, the mass of mankind J are profoundly ignorant. Still, they cannot I be said to experience auy loss or even incon- ^ venience because of their ignorance. Such a is not the case with those who are ignorant . J . i? ?i? .1 respecting tne true uou, me iuukci vi mc ? heavens aud the earth. Ignorance of God; is jj ruin. It debases man even below the dumb t brute. "My people," says God in his word, "perish for lack of knowledge." The lack of knowledge on all subjects, does not cause men to perish. If this were the case, then all would inevitably perish, for even the wisest men kuow only, a little of some things, while , I they know nothiug of many things. It is I | ignorance of God that causes men to perish. { We may be indifferent whether we know t anythiug about some subjects or not, and still t not be culpable; but we must have a clear 1 and correct knowledge of God, or we muil t perish. Here indifference ends in remediless j disaster. Our temporal, spiritual and eternal t welfare depends upon our having a correct \ knowledge of God. Our social position and t our intellectual developments are both di- c rectly dependent upon our knowledge of God. c Such being the case, we may inquire, "Are ? there more Gods than one, or is there onily ! one God ?" : , : * For a number of reasons, it seems manifejt " that there is but one God. That there is only one God, appears to be proven by the works of e creation. If we admit, as the multitude of 1 men do, that matter in all its shapes and forms \ of existence was, at some time?it matters UG>.t Jj when?created ; then we are forced to come p to the conclusion that it was created by one * being and not by several. This is manifest c ii. i _ii e iroiii uie liici mat an tuc jj?i to ui uiconuu v are adapted to each other, and each of the S parts to the whole. In other words, every e portion of creation evinces the fact that one f designer contrived the whole. The delicate 1 adjustment of all the parts of creation to * each other, is too exact to have been ooo- ? trived by more than one being. The mineral, the vegetable and the animal kingdom, how- [ ever grand may be their dimensions, are still adapted to each other, with a nicety which is 0 truly wonderful. Clearly, each of these j: kingdoms were brought into existence for the same purpose. They are linked together by ? a delicate but indissoluble tie. This tie, no s power, save that which produced it, can sever. ? The existence of each one of these kingdoms is necessary to the existence of the other two. | The animal kingdom cannot exist withoat the c vegetable, and the vegetable cannot exist with' e out the raiueral. With great propriety, the g ground, upon which we tread is called our mother. Out of it springs the food of every- e thing that lives. Fowls of the air, fish of the e sea, beast of the field and creeping things; men of high and low degree, beggars and potentates, are all fed by the earth. One God made provision for all. * The works of creation indicate that all fi things were brought into existence by one n God. The same may be said of the govern- n ment of all things. The providential laws ^ are the same everywhere, and under all cir- r cuinstances. The earth is everywhere envel- e oped in air; vegetables everywhere find their Y l". J "? ilt. n?.1 nn/I nnitvinlo n .n ,n ananr ^ Iuuu ill LUC giuuuu, ouu auuuaio mc in country the subjects of the same law of ani- 1 mal life. There is not one providential law t in Europe, another in Asia, and another in America. There is one law giver, and but one law everywhere. One grand principle t operates in all parts of the universe. In otlj- b er words, there is one and only one. God of 9 providence. ' ? It is farther evidence of but one God, thait * two, or more than one Supreme Being, involves an absurdity; and even if such thing were possible, one is sufficient. Tfte idea of a Supreme Being is that he is above c all. Where there is equality, there can be a no supremacy. There can not be two Su ? preme Beings, for then there would be two o beings above all; but if each is supreme, ? they are equal and neither is above all.' An- a other idea which is inseparably connected ? with a Supreme Being, is that he is not only a above all, but governs and controls all, anel r is not governed or controlled by any thing I whatever. If then, there are two Supreme Beings, one of them is either governed by the other; or if this is not the case, then h 1 _nl neither ol them governs ail. j o suppose a n Supreme Being either being governed, or not Jj, governing all, is an absurdity as great ts ? to suppose that a thing can be and not be at jj the same time. ? What is inferentially taught by creation u and providence concerning the unity of Goji, g is plainly declared in the Scriptures. Those ? who accept the Bible as the word of God, will f' have no difficulty respecting the unity of God. The following passages may be cited as bearing directly on the subject: "The v Lord he is God ; there is none else beside |j! him." "The Lord our God is one Lord." jjj "See now that I, even I, am he, and there is m . ni no God with me." "There is none like thee: '[ * ti neither is there any God besides thee." "Thou art the God, even thou alone." "Thou, even thou art Lord alone." These are a few u ? .. . , it' passages from the UJd Testament wnicn ae- H( clare the divine unity. The following are {J from the New Testament: "To us there is ^ but one God." "This is eternal life, that ? they might know thee, the only true God and ? Jesus Christ whom thou has sent." "Now, re unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, ? the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever." "Thou believest that there is one God ; Uku doest well." The Unity of God is opposed alike to dualism, or the two-God system, and to polythe- 9 ism. Some heathen nations worshipped two Gods, whilst others worshipped a great number of Gods. The unity of God is opposed $ to both systems, in that it teaches that there is only one God. ? Practically, the doctrine of the Unity of *>< God is of vital importance. If there are more ^ Gods than one, then there can be no uniformity in religion amongst men. Truth is no longer one but many. In religion there could b( be no standard, no system ; but as many stan- ei dards and as many systems as there are Gods. ? In fact, all would be confusion. ? .- * ? * ?. w 8ST War is surrounded by a deceitful luster ; but let the monster's hideous form be exposed in its true colors, and it will be an honor to p Christianity?a powerful argument in her fa- in vor?to be known as his most decided and ^ successful foe.?Dr. Payson. ? w . ?
