Ilitmawttis JjepwrttiKUt. Afraid of Being Kissed.?A man was walking along one road, and a woman along another. The roads finally united, and the mun and woman, reaching the junction at the same time, walked on from there together. The man was carrying a large iron kettle on his back ; in one hand he held by the legs a live chicken, in the other a cane; and he was leading a goat. Just as they were coming to a deep, dark ravine, the woman said to the man : "I am afraid to go through that ravine with you ; it is a lonely place, and you might overpower and kiss me by force." "If you were afraid of that," said the mau, ii :_i 1 ii?l ?n VUU SJluillUil t nave namcu mtn me at on. How can I possibly overpower you and kiss you by force, when I have this great iron kettle on ray back, a cane in one hand and a live chicken in the other, and am leading this goat ? I might as well be tied hand and foot." "Yes," replied the woman; "but if you should stick your cane into the ground and tie the goat to it, and turn the kettle bottom side up and put the chicken under it, then you might wickedly kiss me in spite of my resistance." "Success to thy ingenuity, O woman!" said the rejoicing man to himself. "I should never have thought of this expedient." And when they came to the ravine, he stuck his cane into the ground and tied the goat to it, gave the chicken to the woman, saying, "Hold it while I cut some grass for the goat;" and then, lowering the kettle from his shoulders, imprisoned the fowl under it, and wickedly kissed tae woman, as sne was afraid he would.? Circassian Legend. She Couldn't See It.?A young man and his girl sat near the front at Burdett's (the Burlington Eavokeye man's) lecture on "The Rise and Fall of the Mustache," the other evening. The young man carried his head 011 one side, it being forced into that position by the weight of half a very tender mustache which was composed of seven hairs upon one side and eleven hairs on the other side of his nose. When the Hawkeye man had just finished convulsing his hearers with an accouut of a youth's first shaving encounter with a barber, the young man leaned over to his girl, and whispered : "That's true to life, I can tell you." "How can you tell me ?" inquired the girl. "How ?" he repeated in a whisper; "why, by experience; that's just the way I felt when I first got shaved." "When was that?" she asked. "Oh! before I raised my mustache," he returned. "What mustache ?' she queried, a little surprised. "What mustache do you suppose" he retorted, turning red. "Why, Charlie," whispered the girl, "I ? t^a ttaii n uever saw auy uiustauiiq. jjuu iuvuu "Never mind what I mean!" hissed the young man between his clenched teeth. And he stared very hard at the lecturer all the rest of the evening, but somehow couldn't see anything to laugh at. Sunday night he went to see a new girl.?Rockland. Courier. The Minister's Experiment.?A minisister picked up a frozen wasp on the sidewalk, yesterday, and, with a view to advancing the interests of science, he carried it in the house and held it by the tail while he warmed its ears over a lamp chimney. His object was to see if wasps froze to death, or merely lay dormant during the winter. He is of the opinion that they merely lie dormant, and the dormantest kind at that; and when they revive, he says, the tail thaws out first, for while this one's head, right over the lamp, was so stiff and cold it could not wink, its probe worked with such inconceivable rapidity, that the minister couldn't gasp fast enough to keep up with it. He threw the vicious thing down the lamp-chimney, and said he didn't want to have any more truck with a dormant wasp, at which his wife burst into tears, and asked how he, a minister of the gospel, could use such language, right before the children, too. They Knew He Meant It.?When a newly married widower passed a crowd of people who were standing on the corner last week, one of the party remarked : "He waited a long time before he hitched onto his second wife, didn't he ?" "t"? * ?_ /?. _i _ "How long ago aid ms nrst wne aie i queried a subdued looking stranger, who was standing near. The party figured that it had been about four years. "Too soon, too soon," mused the stranger; "if my wife should die I'd never get married again.' The moisture that gathered in the stranger's eyes engulphed the crowd in a sea of sympathy, and when he bowed his head, and they saw the marks of a rolling pin behind his ears, and observed that several tufts of hair was missing from his scalp, they knew that he meant what he said. B?3&* A strange man was acting as sexton. An old gentleman, who was deaf, took his seat in a pew, and produced from his pocket an ear-trumpet of curious shape, and to the dismay of the temporary sexton, raised it toward his face. The sexton sprang to his side, and said something in a low voice, whereupon the gentleman endeavored to raise the trumpet to his ear, but was prevented by the sexton seizing his hand. With increasing voice and excitement, he said: "You musn't, sir. You mustn't blow that horn in here. If you do, I shall be obliged to put you out!" And the good old man, pocketing his bugle, heard nothing of service or sermon. A ruralist seated himself at a restaurant i.ui? ?i i v.: 11 ?e a a/v IttUlC, ttiiu UC^ttU bUC Ulll V/A xaio. X11M71 keeping three waiters nearly an hour employed in bringing dishes to him, he called one of them to him, heaved a sigh and whispered, as he spread the bill of fare before him and pointed with his finger: "Mister, I've et to thar, and"?moving his finger down to the bottom of the page?"ef it ain't agin the rule, I'd like to skip from thar to thar." BST He was a rather bashful young man, and was over-head-and ears in love. He could defer the momentous question no longer so he stammered : "Martha! I?I?do you? you must have?are you aware that the Good Book says?er?that it is not gggood that man should be alone ?" "Then hadn't you better run home to your mother ?" Martha coolly suggested. And he ran. ? # 4 Sambo on Juries.?The Natchez, Miss., Democrat says a dismissed colored grand jury man soliloquized: "I don't un'stand this bisness. Looks to me like natural for a man what's in trouble to git his friends on de grand jury if he kin. I reckon if de old jedge hisself was in a tight place and had to j go 'fore de grand jury, he'd be mighty glad j to have his friends on dar 4 O1 ? What She Wanted.?A female appli- j cant for aid appeared at the office of the di-1 rector of the poor in Detroit, the other day, with a sad and anxious look, and on be- j ing asked what she wanted, replied: "I'd ; like some money." "How much?" "Well, I can't say, exactly ; how much do you gen-1 e^ally give out to them when they want to l buy a bead belt ?" Bad Candles.?"The candles you sold me last were very bad," said Suett to a tallow chandler. "Indeed, sir, I am sorry for that." ! "Yes, sir, do you know they burnt to the mid-1 die, and then would burn no longer f" "You surprise me. What, sir, did they go out?" "JSo, sir, no; they burnt shorter" Mark Twain says that French duels are dangerous affairs, no: however, from any fear of immediate loss of life or limb, or even of blooshed, but because these duels are always fought in the open air, and the duelists are thus exposed to the hazard of catching cold and injuring their health. i ?br Jwm and Jjmsidr. LESSONS OF 1878. Have you learned anything additional about your business from the experiments and experience of the year just closing, or have you moved along in the same old grooves and ruts ? Have you observed and marked points all along its course which you could improve upon during the coming year? Have you studied out a better rotation of crops?one that will preserve and enrich your land, and at the same time give remunerating crops? Have you closely studied the defects in your ploughs and manner of ploughing, so that next year you will be able to do more and better work, with a less number of furrows ? Have you made any progress in finding out what fertilizers, whether commercial or composts, or combinations of these, pay best on your lands and crops ? Have you noted any difference in results, of deep or shallow cul ture, on different soils and crops, and at different stages of their growth ? These are a few only of the questions which might be asked, and to which the observing, reflecting farmer ought to be able to give more or less definite answers. At present the margin of profits is very small, and it is only by close calculation and the nicest management that mon3y can be made. The North is agitated about making eight hours a laboring day. At the South Sambo practically settled that question long ago, and the two great problems in southern farming now are, how to supplement labor by improved implements, machines and methods, and how to enrich the soil, so as to produce maximum crops with the minimum labor which Sambo gives. Those are the leading problems. The next is how to decrease the money crops. We sell almost everything we make, and buy almost everything we need?whereas we ought to make almost everything we need, and buy almost nothing. The present system of cultivating money crops almost exclusively, places us at the mercy of speculators and middle men. Cutting down money crops to the smallest dimensions would restore us again to the old time independence. What is to prevent a farmer from raising all the horses and mules he needs?all the pork, beef, mutton, poultry, butter and eggs?all the wheat, corn, potatoes, syrup, tea, fruits and vegetables he needs? What necessity for him x._ L..? ~ ? - 1 1??'. J Usvl?*s\n nrvrl nworlloo tu UUy HAtMJCI Vt^> auu IlUC-lICi VCO, auu uauiM and plough stocks and handles. A little work on rainy days, and a little sound economy about little matters, would help us amazingly. We are poor folks?made poor in the first instance, not by laziness, but by the noble impulses of patriotic self-sacrifice, and we need not be ashamed, but rather proud, of it; let us, therefore, come down to it, and act accordingly. "A man is a man for all that." The wearer of homespun, out of debt, has nothing to envy him who, clothed in purple and fine linen and faring sumptuously every day, has mortgages and liens upon his property and is subject to the bidding of a merchant or a money-lender.?Southern Cultivator for December. The First Lesson in Driving.?The young horse should be driven a few times in the harness?the trainer in front?and taught to turn to the right and left, to rein back, etc., before attaching to a wagon. Use long reins and possibly an assistant may be useful to show him what the reining means. Always use a light vehicle at first, as many horses are made baulky by hitching to a h - - ? ? - ni lit in l? tvi A A "lri/ll/m/T ue&vy wnguu at mio muc, a iwivmu^ strap" should be fastened over his rump from one shaft to another to prevents his heels hitting the wagon. If a colt hits nothing when he kicks, he will soon stop kicking. In starting off, some one should lead the colt a few hundred yards, to encourage him, and he should be patted when let go. When train ing, remember that "a light hand makes a light mouth, and a pleasant driving-horse." The well known important rule of practice, to start a horse by word of mouth, rather than by a touch of the whip, applies especially to the training period. ? Twig Blight.?Dr. Frankenberger writes as follows to an Illinois paper: I desire to call attention to a disease commonly called twig blight. When this disease overtakes a fruit tree, the leaves first begin to blight, afterward the twigs and limbs begin to wither, and finally the whole tree slowly dies. Whatever may be the true cause of this disease, it is sometimes ascribed to a borer. My experience, however, refers more to the remedy than the cause. I know by experience that there is a simple remedy that will not fail to restore every tree afflicted with this disease, if applied in time. It consists simply in boring with a small auger or bit into the tree, filling the cavity with sulphur, and plugging it in. The sap will carry the sulphur to every part of the tree, and, when the borer smells brimstone, he will "git up and git." The cause ot the disease Demg removeu, me tree will soou begin to put forth fresh and tender leaves, the withered foliage will slowly drop off, and the tree, in time, will be restored to its natural growth. ? ? ? To Cleanse Calicoes, French Lawns, Muslins and Cambrics.?Mix two cupfuls of wheat bran in cold water till a smooth paste; then stir it into one quart of soft, boiling water. Let it boil half an hour, then strain, and add to it four or five more quarts of soft, warm water, or enough to wash a dress in. Use no soap, for the bran answers all the cleansing purposes of soap. The water should not be much more than milk warm, and perfectly clean. Add a tablespoonful of salt if there is black in the dnss or any color that may "run." Rinse thoroughly in only one water. No starch is needed, but if one thinks it desirable, use a little white glue water, not hot. The following recipe for waterproofing cloth is worth preserving. Cloth treated as below will hold a pint of water all night and be perfectly dry in the morning. Dissolve in a bucket of rainwater * lb. each of alum and sugar of lead; stir well half-a-dozen times, letting it settle in the interval. When cleared from sediment strain through muslin (coarse,) and then through blotting paper; soak the material in it twenty-four hours, and let it drip dry. Allow a quarter of a yard to every three yards if the cloth has not been shrunk. The material may be dried in a warm room, but the process is lost if placed very near the fire. Use of Trees.?Trees should be planted not only by dwelling-houses, and along roads, but they should be in every pasture and by watering places, and near every barn, wherever horses, cattle and sheep are to be provided for. All these animals suffer from the burning sun ; and, to say nothing of their comfort and enjoyment, the cost of shade trees will be many times paid back in the saving of milk, fat, fleece and strength, which will result by protecting domestic auiraals from the heat of the sun. Things That Pay.?There are two things that always pay even in this not over remunerative existence. They are working and j waiting. Either is useless without the other. Both united are invincible, and inevitably triumphant. He who waits without working, is simply a man yielding to sloth and despair. He who works without waiting, is fitful in his ! strivings and misses results by impatience. : He who works steadily and waits patiently, . may have a long journey before him, but at! its close he will find its reward. The amount of seeds distributed gen- j erally throughout the union last year by the ; National Agricultural Department, was near- j ly 2,000,000 papers of vegetable seeds, 300,- j 000 papers of flower seeds, 3,000 papers of. tree seeds, and about 5,000 bushels of grains,! in quart packages. For the purchase and j the distribution of these seeds $65,000 was expended. |%i5ccUanc0its Reading. THE COMING FASHIONS. a talk with a famous man-milliner in new york. , . New York, February 2, 1879.?"Would you like to see some of our next Bpring and summer styles ?" asked our New York Worth a few days ago. - : "Summer styles in February ! Why you are early, are you not ? "Oh ! no," was the reply, "we have had these illustrations on hand ever since last fall. Of course you know that merchants receive samples of silks and all fancy woollen fabrics from abroad at least a year before the goods are exhibited in the New York stores, because the materials for most of our large importers are, in most instances, manufactured to order. In the same manner we first-class artistes, who do not make our costumes after improved models, but have our own special designers, haye our illustrations prepared sometimes a year before we use or exhibit them. In other instances, in very particular cases, they are designed for immediate use, where our customer desires something exceedingly unique.'* "Have you any special motive in having the costumes desigued before you use or exhibit the styles ?" Our artist answered with a compassionate smile, "Certainly, Madame," putting before us a costume of most peculiar and outre construction, illustrated in a queer combination of colors. "Do you think any of my lady patrons would wear that now ?" "Indeed, I am very sure not!" I answered, emphatically. "Ah, then, Madame understands. We must cultivate the public taste before we venture to make that public accept an extreme mode. Take that dress, for instance, that you think ao t)dd ; "we -will hardly use the entire model until next fall, but its peculiar features we will, one by one, introduce, and adapt to costumes worn in the spring and summer, until our lady patrons are familiar with every unique portion of the garment, and then the tout ensemble will not appear at all singular nor objectionable. As you see by these models for immediate use, we are already beginning to give new features to our winter styles; these we call presentiments, and, as you will observe, some of thrift embrace each a feature of the costume you thiuk so queer." ' "It is our rule," he continued, "to nev?r maltp tivn dresses or nostnmes exHOllv alike for our class of customers do not like repetition, nor can they endure to wear suits lifce those worn by other ladies of fashion ; for such particular madames we specially design something suited to each peculiar style. Notice among our illustrations, there are six designs from Mrs. Blank, and those are for Miss Mode, aud so on through our list~cff those who are able to pay for special models." "I suppose you charge very high for catering to each particular fancy ?" "Yes," with a smile, "we must charge large prices to secure and retain our customers; for our plainest suits we charge $25, and some of our handsome costumes, where we furnish fringe and other trimmings, which is also manufactured to order, cost as much as 8100 for making, while scores of our ball dresses and reception robes, on which we use lace- of expensive quality, and flowers, often cost from 8150 to 8300." "And are there many ladies in New York who can afford to pay so much for making costumes ?" "Indeed, Madame, there are hosts of them. See my order-book ; we have work on hand for nearly three months, aud our men will have employment night and day ?" "Our men?" I repeated, interrogatively. " rflrv 1 iorl mil* WnrtK "urn omnlAxr nn 1M, iVpjWUU. ' ' women in our workroom, and most of our men are foreigners ; they are stronger, quicker and more reliable workers than the women, and really neater sewers. As you see, our work is most exquisitely finished. Women will slight, and we cannot afford to be constantly watching, hence we employ men we think will do their duty, aud if one fails, we discharge him at once and hire another." ELABORATE DRAPERY. But a word about fashions. The models for early spring wear show a decided fullness. The polonaises, overskirts and the drapery on the Princess robes are very elaborate, and the loopiug is placed considerably higher up than in the garments of to-day. The scarf sashes, with which many Princess dresses are decorated, are fuller, and are put on to appear more so. Instead of being arranged in prim folds they are shirred or gathered, and so fastened to the skirt that they appear very full. The waists are generally very much trimmed, and many of them are made with diagonal or perpendicular folds or shirrings, while the sleeves are not at all severe as in the past, those that pretend to be close-fitting having puffed tops or being made with cuff-shaped caps, and we notice a decided inclination for the flowiug sleeve of the past, some of the spring models being half-flowing, while in the designs for summer garments some of the sleeves are just long enough to reach below the elbow and half wide, while others are the large drapery or dolman sleeves worn years ago, and which are very pretty to expose a ' i 1 X*.l lair, pjump arm, oui exceeuingiy ungraceiuj for the middle-aged dame, whose beauty is enhanced by hiding or covering up as much as possible of their arms and skinny neck. The pompadour or square neck, either real or simulated, is very elaborately garnitured, the lace beiug put on about three times as full as in the past?in truth everything, even the skirts have more fullness, and the boasted simplicity of style, which has really been seen only in the jaunty, comfortable short walking-suits, exists no longer even in name. There are some changes made in the arrangement of floral garniture for evening and reception costumes. The garlands are in clusters, held together by vines and sprays, aud intermingled with loops of two-faced satin ribbon or with cable cords of gold, silver or in variously colored silk, corresponding with some portion of the coloring of the material formiug the costume. These wreaths or garlands are also embedded in graduated falls of lace, put on exceedingly full, so that the lace half covers the exquisite flowers that nestle among its delicate folds. Cascades of lace are also intermingled with the loops of ribbon or cord, but this trimming is not so beautiful as when flowers are used. Many of the rich brocaded or embossed trains nre trimmed with a Dlaitiner made into shells by drawing the lower edges up to one side at intervals, and fastening it. If the plaitiugs are lined with a different color, the effect is charming. Scarlet under black, pale blue under plum, mastic or old gold under olive-green, or beneath black or navy blue, are among the favorite combinations for this season. A Good Word for Apples.?Apples, in addition to being a delicious fruit, make a pleasant medicine. A raw, mellow apple is digested in an hour and a half; while boiled cabbage requires five hours. The most healthy desert that can be placed on a table is a baked apple. If eaten frequently at breakfast, with coarse bread and butter, without meat or flesh of any kind, it has an admirable effect on the general system, often removing constipation, correcting acidities, and cooling off febrile conditions more effectually than the most approved medicines. If families could be induced to substitute pies, cakes, and sweetmeats, with whjob their children are frequently stuffed, there would be a diminution in the total sum of doctors' bills, in a single year, sufficient to lay in a stook of this delicious fruit for the whole season's use, Albany Press. You will find yourself refreshed by the presence of cheerful people. Why not make earnest effort to confer that pleasure on others? You will find half of the battle is gained if you never allow yourself to say anything gloomy. >4J Y*are Before the Public. THE GENUINE DR. C. MoLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint, DYSPBFSIA AND SICK HEADACHE. Symptoms of a Diseased Liver. DAJN in the right side, under the edge I of ihe ribs,: increases on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder blade, and it frequently extends to the top of the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternative with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy sensation in the back part. There is generally a considerable loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone something which ought to have been done. A slight, dry cough is sometimes an attendant. The patient complains of weariness and debility; he is easily startled, his feet are cold or burning, and he complains of a prickly sensation of the skin; his spirits are low; and although he is satisfied that exercise would be beneficial to him, yet Kg' can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it. In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, out ' taSfes have occurred! where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. i' AGUE AND FEVE.R. 5 Dr. C.
