UttttWMttS ftepattoWBt. HE WAS NOT A YETERAN. An aged man came into our sanctum yesterday. Deep-eyed sadness sat on his eyebrows, like a frog on the shore of a mill-pond. His attire was faultless in regard to ventilation ; in iact, he looked as if he was a model for some house that manufactured ventilators. His shoes showed two long slits for admitting air, which could come out at his knee, elbow or hat, the whole system of ventilation being perfect and complete. He hung his hat up on the third hook from the door, being the one set in diamonds, and drawing our new morocco footstool up to our feet, sat down and opened fire. .

"I was on the very spot which the rebels and Union soldiers charged over ten times, and I never stirred out of my tracks. I was right where fifteen cannon-balls tore up the earth in every direction, tearing men to pieces, and finally dinging back the torn armies in confusion." "Did you escape ?" we asked. "I did." "You escaped ? But you were wounded ?" "No, sir ; I was not touched." "You were not even wounded?" "Not much." "But certainly your clothes were pierced with bullets ?" "Not a bit of it Nary a bullet" "And yet you want money. No, sir! Had your head been shot oif, or a cannon ball torn you in bits, or 229 bullets been lodged in your body, we might have given you ten cents; but as it is, charity must begin at home. John, bring us a five-cent cigar." "But I'm the only survivor," persisted this old veteran. "Then go and hire a hall, and charge ten cents for the exhibition." "Exhibition be hanged!" said he. "Give me ten cents, and I'll tell you how I tlidn't get killed." It was a tempting bait, and was taken.

I stood where the bullets fell like rain, but?'twas a month after it happened." Secrets op Masonry.?Old Zach Wheeler was quite a character in his time, being a clever, easy-going, confiding man, who managed to let every body cheat him out of his inherited estates. Just as his last farm was about to slip out of his hands he succeeded in raising the money to lift the mortgage. Aaron Remer, a prominent Mason, accompanied him to the town. As they were riding along on horse-back, Zach sayB to Aaron, in a confiding tone: "Now, Aaron, we are here alone, and I want you to tell me the secrets of Masonry." "I can't, Zach; they would kill me." "Why, they won't know ; they'll never find it out" "Yes, they will; you'll Bpeak of it" "No, I swear I won't" "Well, if you'll ride close alongside of me, and put your hand upon my thigh, and take . the oath I'll administer, I'll tell ysffi [heee^? --Gxels oi SaasGiiry." ? Zack was not slow to comply, and a most powerful "iron-clad" oath was administered and taken. ' "Now for the secrets," exclaimed the impatient and unsuspecting victim. "Well," said Aaron, with mock solemnity and secrecy, "in the first place, we Masons combine together to cheat every body as much as we can. This is the first grand secret The second is like unto it When we can't find any body else to cheat, we cheat each other, but as little as we can." "Well," exclaimed Zach, "I swear I'll join. I wish I had done it twenty years ago, I might have been a rich man afore now." An Effect of Rivalry.?Cincinnati and Louisville .'used to be, and perhaps still are, rivals for the trade of the region which their . location makes common ground. The "drummers"?"commercial travelers," as the English call them?of either city frequently came in contact on their travels. One night a party of each were causually assembled in the bar-room of a hotel, indulg- 1 ing in drinks, joking between whiles at the pretensions of their city rivals. "Now," said a Cincinnati man, when the 1 evening had worn on and hilarity was at its height, "I invite you to. take a drink in the Louisville fashion." The party stood up to the bar and drank off their drinks, when the Cincinnati man laid down a dime in payment, the price of a drink for one. "How's this ?" said the barkeeper. "This," said the Cincinnati man, "is the Louisville style, in which I invited the party to drink. I pay for mine; each one of the party pays for his." Presently a Louisville man asked the company to take a drink in the Cincinnati fashion. They came up smiling, and each poured off his drink to the health of Cincinnati, with thanks to the Louisville entertainer. This over, the Louisville man, as they fell back from the bar, said solemly to the barkeeper : "Charge it." What She Found.?A newly married man gave his vest into his wife's hand to be repaired, and when he came home to dinner she showed him three pencil stubs, a piece of chalk, four watch keys, nineteen matches, six pant and four coat buttons, a rt^pc'ior making milknujich.," bleak, a blanklottery ticket, a small handful of cloves, a part of a roll of lozenges, three seat coupons to last winter's lecture, a poker chip and a chew of gum that had slipped down into the lining of the vest through a hole in the pocket. Another Purse.?A man picked up a purse in the street, and advertised the met. In ten days he was visited by sixty-one men, women, boys, and girls, all claiming to have lost money. The sum was but eleven dollars; but of each visitor who called, the finder asked, "So you lost fifty dollars, did you?" Nine-tenths of the applicants promptly replied, "Yes, sir." "Ah," said he, "yours was another nurse." ? ? I Prisoners op War.?During the late war, some children were talking of their fathers and brothers who had been made prisoners of war. Many tales were told of the sufferings of their relatives, the youngsters evidently priding themselves upon it. One boy, who was silently listening, at length said, "That's nuthing; I've got an uncle in prison, and he ain't been to no war, neither." "Of Course Not."?"Things," quoted David, in a poetical mood, "are not what they seem." "Of course not," commented Sadie; "the sewing-machine seams, but every body knows the machine isn't the shirt it seams." And then nobody said anything for a long time, and David made some remark about people who couldn't appreciate sentiment. ? He Arranged Matters.?"How did you come to get married ?" asked a man of a very homely friend. "Well, you see," he replied, ? A T l_ _ 3 a_!.J !? 1 "aicer i naa vaimy irieu tu win several gm? that I wanted, I finally turned my attention to one who wanted me, and then it didn't take long to arrange matters." 4??* When I was a young man I was always in a hurry to hold the big end of the log and do all the lifting. Now that I am older I seize hold of the small end and do all the grunting. Wise men make the mistakes and fools the blunders, and this is about all the difference between them.?Josh Billings. JS&* A woman cured her husband of staying J out late at night, by going to the door when j he came home and whispering through the keyhole, "Is that you, Willie ?" Her husband's name is John, and he sleeps with one -eye open and a revolver under his pillow. ftauUng fot th* jWlratlj. CONDUCTED BT REV. ROBERT LATHAN. HOME RELIGION. Home religion is a thing of the heart? which is the same as saying it is a thing of love. It may exist in connection with forms; and it may exist in its sweet unfolding, independent of forms. It may say grace at the table ; and it may not say grace at the table. It may be gifted to sustain a family altar; and it may not have the gift requisite. But if the heart be right there shall be grace and prayerfulness, albeit forms be lacking in the family. There is a way of eating your food which thanks God better than any formal grace saying that can be devised. There is a way of kissing the wife after the ? "" 1 on An Vinakand in Ipnirinor fnr hi* office. UICAi 00 bug uuuvmum ?w AWV. , **-"{3 - ? ? , which covers the whole ground between husband and wife intended to be covered by the influence of the family altar. We have known a man ask a blessing on food which he himself condemned in the very next breath. To thank God for food, and scold your wife or the cook in the next breath because the steak is overdone, or the cakes not browned to your suiting, or the tea too strong, is something more, friend, than impiety ; it is indecency. Home religion should be loving, first of all, and last of it should be?loving. It should be patient, too?especially on those days when it is hard to be patient It should be cheerful, especially when it takes wit to invent occasions of mirthfulness. It should be brave, not to face the troubles that are without, but the troubles that are within. A kindly word, a pleasant speech, a cheerful or sympathetic look, a touch of the hand in the old tender fashion of the courting days, a stroking of the cheek and the soft movement of the palm over the hair?"Foolish tricks ?" You are a fool if you say it, friend. You i- i ?x .1 - i xl ?r?u.v. a?A aian i mm a mey were luuuou uk&o uuwc, auu you were wiser then than you are now that you have dropped them. A little more courting in married life would keep married life what courtship is. The foolishness of love is wiser than the wisdom of hate ; and the more foolish you are in these directions, the happier will your homes be, and the sweeter will your home religion be.?Northwestern Christian Advocate. A Word in Season.?Kilstein, a pious German minister, once heard a laboring man use the most awful curses and imprecations in a fit of passion, without reproving him for it. This so troubled him that he could scarcely sleep the following night. In the morning he arose early, soon saw the man coming along, and addressed him as follows : "My friend, it is you I am waiting to see." "You are mistaken," replied the man; "you have never seen me before." "Yes, I saw you yesterday," said Kilstein, "whilst returning from your work, and heard you praying." "What! heard me pray?" said the man. "I am sure now that you are mistaken, for I never prayed in my life." "Andjre^" .palwljf ftutTearnestly, replied ife^Hnni8ter, "if God had heard your prayer, Jou would not be here, but in hell; for I eard you beseeching God that he might strike you with blindness and condemn you to hell fire." The man turned pale and tremblingly said : "Dp*r sir. do vou call this Draver ? Yes, it is true; I did this very thing." "Now, my friend," continued Kilstein, "as you acknowledge it, it is my duty to beseech you to seek with the same earnestness the salvation of your soul as you have hitherto its damnation, and I will pray to God that he will have mercy upon you." From this time the man regularly attended upon the ministry at Kilstein, and ere long was brought in humble repentance to Christ as a believer. "A word in season, how good it is!" "Be instant in season and out of season ; reprove, rebuke, exhort with long-suffering and patience." What is Life.?What is your life ? An inspired writer says: '.'It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." It flies away as a dream, and cannot be found. Our life is wind. It moves swifter than a weaver's shuttle. It is as a tale that is told. It is swifter than a post. Hume says, "While we are reasoning concerning life, life is gone." Short as life is, we strangely desire each period of it abbreviated. The child longs to be full grown. The youth at school wishes ^ ntUnn V* trri 11 fioonmn + VlO nf 1U1 UiC uaj YVUCU UU TTlll OOOUUIW vuw UUWVW v* manhood. The man of business lives in hope of the time when he shall retire. It is marvelous how men waste the present moments. I have heard of a fool lighting a cigar with a bank note of some value. The same man committed greater unwisdom than that?he wasted the precious minutes of a whole summer in doing nothing but iniquity. Short as life is, it is the seed time for eternity. Whatsoever a man sows here, h^^ \ be reaping to all eternity. If he so-sA^r wind he shall reap the whirlwind. 1|Rie sows to the flesh he shall reap corruption. If he sows in righteousness, he studf reap in mercy. If he sows to the spirtt he shall reap life everlasting. This istlie day of grace, the season of mercy, wbsp enduring riches may be secured. Many have seized the moments as they passed, and become immensely rich in faith, in good works, in bright hopes and in a blessed inheritance beyond the skies. - ' Most men's lives are full of toil and care. Many are full of sorrow and disappointment. But, thanks be to God, all men's lives abound in opportunities of gaining and of getting good.? W. S. Plumer, D. D. The Obedient Boy.?I read a very prettv storv the other day about a little boy who was sailing a boat with a playmate a good deal larger than he was. The boat had sailed a good way out in the pond, and the big boy said, "Go in, Jim, and get her. It isn't over your ankles, and I've been in after her every time." "I daren't," said Jim. "I'll carry her all the way home for you, but I can't go in there; she told me not to." "Who's she?" "My mother," said Jim, softly. "Your mother! Why, I thought she was dead," said the big boy. "That was before she died. Eddie and I used to come here and sail boats, and she never let us come unless we had string enough to haul in with. I ain't afraid, you know I'm not; only she didn't want me to, and I can't do it" Wasn't that a beautiful spirit that made little Jim obedient to his mother even after she was dead ? Prevailing Sins.?The duty of the hour, as of every hour, is to attack prevailing sins. John Knox did this, and his memory will be fresh and green among Scotchmen forever. John Wesley did it; and that act and habit of his life have made him immortal for all time. The appalling prevalence of political corruption calls for the advent of an Augustine who shall deal it mortal blows. The high tide of the drink traffic and of the closely associated social evil, as together they sweep on to debauch society, is imperatively demanding the uprising of some "son of thunder," who shall neither spare nor pity these terrible crimes. Some such Jonah, showing the people their sins, is needed in order to the purging of the public conscience. The pulpit should do this work. Let it gird itself with the sword of battle. S&* I could never divide myself from any i man upon the difference of an opinion, or be j angry with his judgment for not agreeing ! with me in that from which within a few days i I shall myself dissent. I6y How patent is the crisp sentence, "A i great deal of new light now-a-days, is only J darkness after all." ?b? <farm and <f wattle. Worms and Insects.?A correspont says: The insect question is a very important one ; they will destroy as if we don't them. The following modes I use as occasion demands, and never fail. Melon and cucumber bugs like radish leaves better than any other kind. I sow a few radish seeds in each and never lose a plane. Earth worm, cut-worms, white grubs, and, in fact, all soft-bodied worms, are easily driven out by salt sown broadcast. You can do no harm with ten bushels to the acre, but a half bushel is ample. Dry slacked lime is also effectual. Potato bugs find their "anti" in Paris green, one tablespoonful; flour, ten spoonfuls; water one bucket; mix and keep mixed as the Paris green settles ; apply with a watering-pot. For cabbage-worms apply dry salt if the plants Lare wet, or a strong brine if they are dry. Turuip-flies are destroyed by fine slaked lime dusted over the field. But the whole tribe of depredators are wonderfully kept down by making friends with the birds. They are the natural enemies of all insects, worms, grubs, etc. In fighting vermin we must not try to oppose nature, but to ratner follow her plans, and assist her if she fails.? Western Farmer. ? ? ? Tar in the Chicken House.?It seems that the value of tar is not appreciated by poultry breeders, for we seldom either see it used or its use advocated by writers on poultry matters. It can be used, with most excellent results, in fumigating the poultry-house, when through neglect or inattention it becomes necessary to put it through "quarantine," by burning'some of it in a suitable vessel, and then closing the doors and windows of the house to confine the fumes and smoke as much as possible. It is sure to purify the house. Tar is very offensive to insects which worry the poultry and infest the poultry-houses. Whitewash does not seem to keep them away, especially the "mites," which are so troublesome, and recourse must be had to some other substance. Just here tar is very valuable. Take an old kettle which is of no use for other purposes, put in some good tar, and heat it until it is thin and hot, then with a whitewash brush, brush it into all the cracks and crevices where the insects "most clo congregate," and they will start off instanter, for the seashore or some other more congenial abode. Treat the perches and roosting benches to a dose of the same. When poultry cholera makes its appearance, if you thoroughly cleanse the house and treat it as above with tar, it will generally prevent tho spread of disease. IST It is not always desirable that boots should be absolutely water-proof, as whatever keeps water out will keep it in, and whoever has worn india-rubber boots for any length of time, knows that retaining the perspiration of the feet soon puts them in a very unpleasant, half parboiled condition that--j?not very desirable. Stillwater^fg^f boots are useful in an eraerg^nc^to be worn for a short tira?^-as-"tn~doing the chores in bad J??ft&er. A pair of good rubber boots will answer the purpose, or a pair of common cow hide boots may be made water-proof after the method'of the New England fishermen. These people, exposed to all weathers, have for a century used the following compound: Tallow, 4 oz.; rosin and beeswax, 1 oz. melt together, then stir in neatsfoot oil, equal in bulk to the melted articles. The boots are warmed before a fire and this composition is rubbed into the leather, soles and uppers, by means of a rag. Two applications will make the leather quite water-proof. SSy* One leak on nearly every farm may be found in the neglect of agricultural imple ments. In traveling over the country it is no unusual sight to see plows, harrows, wagons, sleds, reapers, mowers, etc., piled in the fence corners, in the fields, lanes, barnyards, public highways. Whenever you see things piled around in this way, says the American Rural Home, you can set it down that there is at least one leak on that farm. An excuse might be found for some farmers of limited means, that they are not able to build shelters for their implements; but we find the same leak on farms where they count their acres by the hundreds and their dollars by the thonsands, and, of course, the larger the farm the greater the leak. We believe a careful estimate of the annual shrinkage thus incurred by some farmers would astonish them, and show why farming does not pay. ?. * " Relief from a Corn.?Soak the foot in warm water for a quarter of an hour every night; after each soaking, rub on the corn patiently, with the finger, a half dozen drops of sweet oil; wear around the toe during the day two thicknesses of buckskin, with a hole in it to receive the corn, and continue this ?1?* AA?n 11 o Allf t a VAIl ireuwiiem uuui ma wiu uuu uuit *.+ jvu wear moderately loose shoes, it will bo months, and even years, before the corn returns, when the sam^ treatment will be-eSicient in a few days. Pftring corns is always dangerous, besides^ inafcing them take deeper root, as dj&ea a weed cut off near the ground; but the plan advised is safe, painless, and costs nothing but a little attention. ?. Dog Bite.?An aged forester has published the following in a Leipzig journffl: "I do not wish to carry to my grave my much proved cure for the bites of mad dogs, but will publish the same as the last service which Ican offer the world : Wash the wound perfectly clean with wine vinegar and tepid water ; then dry it. Afterward pour .into the wound a few drops of muriatic acid, for mineral acids destroy the poison of the dog's saliva. >44 Cream Pie.?The yolks of two eggs, twothirds of a cup of sugar, one half cup of flour, and one pint of milk ; mix the eggs, flour and sugar together thoroughly, and stir into the milk when it boils ; flavor with lemon. Bake a pie crust, pour the mixture into it, and place it in the oven for fifteen minutes ; beat the whites of the eggs thoroughly and mix with two tablespoonsful of sugar; place it over the top and set in a hot oven to brown. ? 4 Remedy for Bleeding Grape Vine.? ~ ^ UAAilinM mnA orM1 TT flKnilf ADO V^Ub Ull LUC UiCCUiiig VJiuo ouiuuvuij uuvuv vuv inch below a joint, then draw a piece of India rubber tightly over it, and tie it above the joint. When the wound is on the main trunk of the vine, the rubber will prove equally as effective, by encircling the vine tightly with it over the wound. #65"* Mr. C. E. Brown, of Norway, Me., writes to the editor of the New Religion that he recently tested the plan of stopping a blaze in a chimney with salt. A little salt thrown on the open fire, and two handfuls up the chimney stopped a conflagration that threatened to be serious. The effect was instantaneous. 4 # Apple Meringue.?Pare and cut in quarters some apples, stew them with a little sugar until tender, and lay them in a shallow dish. Beat the whites of three or four eggs to a stiff froth, mix with them a teacupful of powdered sugar, spread over the apples, and bake fifteen minutes in a moderate oven. ?+? Fritters.?Four eggs to one quart of milk, and a little salt; stiffen with-flour about as thick as griddle cake ; drop by large spoonsful into hot lard. These may be improved by slicing apples thin and dropping them into the batter. Peach fritters are also nice, made in the same way. A breeder of poultry, says: "Every spring I procure a quantity of cedar boughs and scatter them plentifully in and around the hen house. That is all that is necessary, as the odor of cedar keeps away lice." m An unpleasant passenger in a street car is a crying Baby. In such cases Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup should be given to the little sufferer to ease its troubles. 25 cents a bottle. THE GENUINE DR. C. McLANE'S Celebrated American WORM SPECIFIC OR VERMIFUGE.
