Born of poor parents, by industry and perseverance i be had become possessed of one of the finest farms in that section, of which he was justly ' proud ; but no prouder was he of it than of his own physical strength and agility, that had assisted him in accumulating his property, and made him a most excellent boxer and 1 wrestler, and he had a corresponding contempt for men of inferior powers. One spring, when ; help was unusually plenty, he determined to ' have the farm run that year by a strong team. So when a man presented himself and asked ' for work, after inquiring of the man as to his habits, etc., he would finish up by asking him to fight. In this way he disposed of quite a number of applicants, and was beginning to despair of his "strong team," when, one morning as he was standing in the barn door, a young man came up the road, and, seeing him, called out: mAi*ninr* aiV " \JVVU iUV/1 IllUg, oil* "Good morning," he said, gruffly. "Do you want to hire a hand to work on your farm, sir ?" "Perhaps so ; want to hire out?" " Yts, sir; I am looking for a job." "What can you do ?" "All kinds of work, sir ; I was born on a farm." "Can you fight ?" "What, sir ?" "Can you fight, I say; can you lick me ?" "I don't know, sir, whether I can or not; but I can try." And he did try. The first thing Kelley knew he was on his back on the floor, with two teeth down his throat; the next, the man was astride his stomach, with a fist in each eye, and his nose was bleeding. Then he let him up, and was just picking up his bundle to start off when he was called back and put to work, and he proved to be as trusty and industrious as he was brave. The farmer's daughter needed just such a man for a husband, and now he may be seen, any day, superintending the work on the farm, while Father Kelley sits in the arm-chair and tells to hb grandchildren the story of his last fight.? Concord People. A Ten Acre Wife.?The other day Solomon Glass, a colored man whose agricultural experience has enlightened his neighborhood, came to town with a view of getting a divorce from his wife. When asked upon what grounds, he replied: "Sufficient is de grounds ob dis occasion. When I rented ten acres and worked one mule, I married a 'omar: suitable for de occasion. Now I rent sixty acres of lan' and work five mules. My first wife is a mighty good ten acre wife, but she don't suit de occasion ob sixty acres. X needs a 'oman who can spread more." When told by a lawyer that the grounds were not sufficient, he remarked : "I kin produce de histry to show wharl'm careck. I's a learned man and can read clear aroun' de majority ob colored gentlemen an' a great many white fellers. De reasons be longs ter de French history, an' though I doesn't speak French, I talks about it. You know Napoleon ftist married Josephine de Beauharis." "Yes," said the lawyer, "but you may become a trifle too historically opulent if you proceed much further." "Dat's all right. An' you know dat when he got to de head of de gubernment an' had charge ob all de commisiaries, he wanted a wife what would spread more, an' he got a dispensation fronp Josephine and hitched onto Maria Louisa, case she could spread more. Dar's de history an' dar's de precedent, an' ef a man can't git a dispensation on Jese groun's, whar's yer~courthouses an' whar's yer law ?" Ule^Rock {Ark.) Gazette. 16T He came up a little late, stepped in without ringing, and striding sottly into the parlor, dropped into an easy chair with the careless grace of a young uiao who is accustomed to the programme. "By Jove," be said to the figure sitting in the dim obscurity of the sofa. "By Jove, I thought I was never going to see you alone again. Your mother never goes away from the house nowadays, does she, Minnie?" "Well, not amazingly frequently," cheerfully replied the old lady, from the sofa. "Minnie is away so much of the time now that I have to stay in." In the old hickory, at the end of the house, the moping owl complained to the moon much-in its usual style, the katydids never sang more clearly, and the plaintive cry of the whip poor-will filled the night with poetry, but he didn't hear any of it, all the same. "And, by George," he said to a friend, fifteen minutes later, "if I didn't leave my hat on the piano, and my cane in the hall, I'm a goat. Think of 'era? Forget 'em? Strike me blind if I knew I had any clothes on at all. What 1 wanted was fresh air, aud I wanted about thirty acres of it, and mighty quick too." She Took Him at his Word.?A capital story is told of a Kentucky girl who had agreed to elope with a lover whom her parents had refused to admit to the house. She descended the ladder in the night and started with him on horseback. "Now you are sure how much I love," she said, "you will always be a true and kind husband, won't you ?" He gruffly answered, "Perhaps I may and perhaps not." She rode in silence for a few minutes, when she suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, what shall we do ? I have left my money behind me in my room." "Then," said he, "we raust'go back and fetch it." They were soon again at the house, the ladder was again replaced, the lady remounted, While the ill-natured lover remained below. But she delayed to come and he gently called out, "Are you coming ? when she looked out of the window and said, "Perhaps I may and perhaps not," and then shut down the window. "See," said a gentleman, "here is an illustration. At one time I should have sworn awfully at 4his fly?but, look now." Raising his hand, he said, gently, "Go away, fly, go away." But the fly only tickled his nose the more. The gentleman, raising his hand with some vehemence, made a grab at the offender, and, being successful, opened it to throw the insect from* him, when in extreme disgust, he exclaimed : "Why, d?n it, it's a wasp!" ? * An old lawyer in Philadelphia long had the reputation of being the most courteous man in the city, because he was always so polite to his wife when he chanced to meet her in the street; but an ungenerous foe at last discovered and made known the fact that the old lawyer was near-sighted and mistook his wife for some other woman. S3?" A wife wanted her husband to sympathize with her in a feminine quarrel; but he refused, saying, "I've lived long enough to know that one woman is as good as another, if not better." "And I," retorted the wife, "have lived long enough to know that one man is as bad as another, if not worse!" 1 ? What could be more intensely American than the act of the Yankee who, on visiting an Italian convent and being shown a lamp which had not been permitted to go out in five centuries, quickly stepped up to it and blew it out, with the remark, "Well, I rather guess it's out now." "How did you come to get married ?" j asked a man of a very homely friend. "Well, j you see," he replied, "after I had vainly j tried to win several girls that I wanted, | I finally turned my attention to one that j wanted me, and then it didn't take long to ar-1 jange matters." I ike Jam and fireside. A Sermon to Girls?On Cooking.? Cooking-classes have been popular among fashionable young ladies of late years. But there is no cooking class which quite equals in its opportunity for excellent information, that which you may find at home. Presuming that I am talking to a girl that has just left school, I advise you to make use of your leisure in taking lessons of your mother. There is an absolutely splendid feeling of independence iwknowing how to make perfectly light, sweet, substantial bread. Then try your hand at biscuits, muffins, corn bread, toast, and all the different forms into which bread-stuffs may be blended. Toast seems a simple thing enough, but is frequently so poorly made that it does not deserve the name. Toast, a necessity ofcthe sick-room, is often a hopeless mystery to women who have the vaguest idea of how it is envolved from the raw material. After you have mastered the bread question, try meats and vegetables Any bright girl who can comprehend an equation, or formulate a syl ogism, can overcome the difficulties which beset her when learniug to cook. JLucent syrups, golden cane, delicately browned bread, quivering jellies, melting creams, and the whole set of material things glorified, because made for love's sake, and for the good of one's dear oues, are fit expressions for any woman. The charm of this accomplishment lies in the fact that it imparts to its owner a gratifying sense of power, it bestows on her, too, the power of blessing and resting those she loves best. Wherever the cook goes she takes her welcome along. One may tire of the sweetest singing, of the loveliest poetry, of the most witty conversation, but of good cooking, never. But I would be sorry to have you conteuted to be only a cook, ouly a domestic machine. That is not my meaning or intention. Be artist, poet, inventor, and well-bred woman; be the most and best that you can, and add, as a matter of course, ability to keep house well and to do all that good house keeping includes.? M. E. Songster. A Novel Cure for Bright's Disease.? A Brooklyn correspondent of the New York Evening Post communicates the following: About twenty years ago a daughter of mine, then about six years old, was given up to die by the family physician, who said that the disease was incurable, and that it was never known to be cured, either in Europe or America. The physician, on giving the case up, told my wife to give the child anything she wanted, and to make her as comfortable as possible while she lived. The child constantly called for beans; so my wife cooked some as quickly as possible, not eveo stopping to parboil them, as is usually done, but boiled beaus, pork and potatoes together in the first water, and when well cooked, she gave them to the child to eat. : The child then went .to sleep, and from that time began to improve. She is now the mother of two children. She is not troubled with the disease unless she takes a severe cold, and wheu that happens she at once uses her old remedy, and it is always effectual. The physician who attended her called a few days after the bean experiment and was surprised to see the change in the child. He inquired what my wife had done for her, and upon hearing, his surprise was increased, and he requested an exact description of the manner in which the food was cooked. After considerable thought about the matter, she said that the beans were cooked in the first water. The physician is now dead or I would refer to him to verify the facts. Charcoal for Sick Animals.?Nearly every sick animal becomes so by improper feeding in the first place. In nine cases out of ten the digestion is wrong. Charcoal is the most efficient and rapid corrective, it will cure a majority of cases if properly administered. An example: The hired man came iu with the intelligence that one of the fiuest cows was very sick, and a neighbor proposed the usual drugs and poisons. The own* er, being ill and unable to examine the cow, concluded that the trouble came from overeating, and ordered a spoonful of pulverized charcoal to be given in water. It toas mixed, placed into a junk bottle, the cow's head turned upward and the water downward. In five minutes improvement was visible, and in a few hours the animal was in the pasture quietly grazing. Another instance of equal success occurred with a young heifer which had become badly bloated lrom eating green apples. The Moat was so severe that the sides were as hard as a barrel. The old rem edy, salajratus, was tried for correcting the acidity; but the attempt to put it down always raised coughing, and it did but little good. Half a teacupful of powdered charcoal was then given : in six hours all appearance of the bloat was gone, and the heifer was well. Rheumatism.?In response to a request by a subscriber, a short time since, two recipes have been sent in to the N. Y. Tribune. 1. The simplest and most effective is a lemon, daily, until relieved. Take the juice of one lemon with sugar just before retiring. A good liniment can be made by dissolving gum camphor iu coal oil. Make it as desired. When applying it do not be near the ffre. It will be found effectual also in neuralgia and similar ailments. The use of lemons can not be too highly recommended for all persons. 2. One-half ounce salicylic acid, one-half ounce bicarbonate soda, one gill water. Dose: one teaspoonful every hour until relieved ; after that, one or two teaspoonfulls every two or three hours until cured. The lady who sends this says: "It cured my mother of chronic and my daughter of inflamatory rheumatisms. In both cases the second bottle was not entirely used before they found relief. Farm Dogs.?About the best dog law we are aware of, is now in force in Kent County, Maryland, where all dogs over six months have an annual tax of $1 each imposed on the males, and $5 on the females. To prevent evasion of the law, it provides that every tax paying dog shall wear a stamped metal tag, and a premium of 50 cents is given for the carcass of every dog brought in without the tag. it the dog is not vaiuaoie eDougn for the owner to pay the tax, off goes his head-; for there are lots of boys, and men, too, on the alert to earn the premium. If the farmer has a good dog, he is willing to' pay a fair price to secure his protection, and if the dog is a sheep killer, he is seldom protected by the tax being paid,so the law works well both ways. To Prevent Lock-jaw.?Lock jaw is one of the most terrible diseases to which mortals are exposed. A California exchange asserts that no one need be in danger of such an attack from wounds caused by rusty iron. The worst case of inflamed wounds may be cured by smoking the injured part with burning wool or woolen cloth. Anything that produces safety from such a fatal disease is worth re-' cording. Location of Orchards and Why.?A ! Maine farmer says: "Were I to plant an orchard and had two locations, one in a valley ! surrounded by hills except on the south side, j and the other a high elevation exposed to high winds, I would choose the latter in preference to the former. The great object is to keep back the blooming as long as possible, i and this can be done best in northern exposures without shelter." Squeaking Boots.?Oil the soles thoroughly with tanners' oil. Place them near the fire for an hour, then repeat the operation until they will not retain more oil. The next day rub off all the oil and wear them for the first time out of doors, in the dust, if possible. 1 Sympathy is best shown when practical in its application; Therefore, .when you sympa thize with your suffering baby, show it prac-1 tically by using Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup, and . thus cure your child.

The fall of man and its consequences, force themselves upon the attention of all men who are not degraded beneath the brutes that perish. Even those who scoff at religion and practically live as if there is no God, cannot so command their thoughts as to keep them from dwelling, with a painful intensity, upon those two facts. No man can reason himself into the belief that Adam's race is not ruined, fho oirirlonfoq nf tho Hf-ftrp him in the face continually, and he feels the dreadful effects of Adam's fall in every member of his body; and his soul also struggles beneath the consciousness of guilt. The question has been asked, "Why was Adam driven from the Garden of Paradise V" This is an important question, and one that every individual should distinctly understand. Like many other questions which maybe asked, it admits of no answer but that contained in the Bible. There is no record of the creation of man, nor of his fall, contained in any book: except the Bible. It is true, that a countless multitude of scientific men, falsely so called, have given the world vague speculations on this subject; but they are absolutely worthless. They are nothing but wild conclusions deduced from suppositions. The theory that man is the result of evolution is very old ; but never has satisfied any one?not even those who advocated it. No man who possesses a grain of ancestral pride, ever can be pleased with a theory which makes him the descendant of a monkey, and this monkey the descendant of something more ignoble. The misfortune of the evolution theory is, that it is contradicted by everything that has ever been seen or heard. There are no examples of monkeys turning to men. The facts in the case are, that men are just the same to-day that they were more than five thousand years ago. If we reject the Bible account of the creation and fall of man, we are at liberty to devise any theory we may see fit, and the theory of the most ignorant will be just its worthy of credence as that of the most learned. In other words, all unscriptural theories are just as absurd as they can be. That we may be enabled to give an answer to the question, "Why was Adam driven from Paradise ?" it is necessary that we examine the facts in tlte case. With regard to the creation of man, the Bible?our only authority? informs us that after everything else was created, God made man. His body was formed out of the dust of the ground. In other words, the material selected out of which to form the body of man, was the dust of the ground. Into the nostrils of this creature the Lord breathed, and man became a living being. We are not to suppose that an interval of time elapsed between the forming of Adam's body and the breathing into him the breath of life. The whole was a single act. Adam was made perfect. His body was fully developed and his mind mature. He was made a man; not a babe, nor a boy. He had no infancy and no boyhood ; but came from the hands of the Almighty maker, mature in every respect, both ? 1 3 1 J in soui anu uouy. It should be borne in mind that of all the inhabitants of this globe, man was the only creature that was so endowed as to be responsible. Adam was made a person; not a thing. Of no other terrestrial creature can it be said that it is a person. It would be an unwarrantable use of language to call a horse, or a monkey, or any other earthly creature, except man, a person. Adam was capable of doing right and he was capable of doing wrong. He had the power to obey law, and he had the power to disobey law. This can be said of no other earthly creature. They are driven on by a something which, for the want of a better word, we call instinct. Other creatures may indict injuries; but they cannot steal. They may take life; but they cannot commit murder. In few words, 110 other terrestrial creature can either obey or disobey any one of the ten commandments. God made Adam capable of both obeying and disobeying the moral law, which is summarily comprehended in the ten commandments. . Thus endowed, God placed Adam in the Garden of Eden. He was given "dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowls of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." He was Lord of the earth, with permission to appropriate everything in Eden "to his own pse, except the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God positively and plainly commanded him not to eat of this tree. In the Garden of Eden, there was also another tree called the tree of life. Of the fruit of this tree Adam was permitted to eat. The tree of the knowl?1?? ? ? /????! oa onlla/1 Viaaunoo eugt! Ul gUUU i*UU CVIX YVevo au tancu u?/uun> Adam, by eating of its fruit, would have a knowledge of both good and evil. So long as lie abstained from eating of this tree, he would have a knowledge of good, but no knowledge of evil. The tree of life was so called, because, by eating of its fruit, the moral condition or state of the eater would be perpetuated forever, or rendered unchangeable. It is evident that the sin of eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, was not in the nature of the fruit; but in the command of God. It was wrong, because God forbid it. We are not warranted in concluding that there was anything in the fruit itself that was hurtful, either to the body or soul of man. God simply forbade Adam to eat of it. That made it wrong. The foundation of right and wrong is the command of God. What he commands to be done is right, and what he commands not to be done is wrong. We are now ready to give a plain and positive answer to the question : "Why was Adam driven from the Garden of Eden ?" It was because h& disobeyed the command of God. The particular form in which his disobedience manifested itself, was in eating the forbidden fruit. In no other way could he have disobeyed. Not because there was no other act which would have been a violation of the law of God; but because God left him to the freedom of his will, only with reference to the eating or not eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. In the latter part of the third chapter of Genesis, we find this language: "And the Lord God said, 'Behold the man is become as one of * -S J 21 J ? 1 US to KllOW goou anu evu ; auu nuw, icoi, uc put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life and eat and live forever, therefore, the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden.'" Gen. 3:22, 23. From this passage of the Scriptures, taken without reference to the context, it would appear that Adam was driven from the Garden of Eden in order to prevent him from eating of the tree of life. The passage quoted above is admitted to be difficult. The difficulty is, mainly, we think, in the translation. The Hebrew text seems to be elliptical. A literal rendering of the words would be as follows: "And the Lord God said, 'Behold the man was as one of us." The word hayah, the translators of our English Bible rendered "has become;" but it means was. The idea, thus far, is in strict conformity with that expressed in the 20th verse of the 1st chapter, where it is said that man was made in the image of God. The remaining part of the passage seems to be elliptical. It is in plain contradiction of the whole tenor of the Bible, to say that because man has become experimentally acquainted with good and evil, that, therefore, he is become like God. So soon as Adam eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, he became conscious of guilt. Remorse began to prey upon his soul, and spiritual shame drove him from the presence of his Maker. It is impossible for God to have such an exj>erience as Adam had immediately after eating the forbidden fruit. Without attempting to solve the philological diffi culties of the text, we feel confident that the following is the meaning: "And the Lord God said, 'Behold the man was as one of us ; but he has became to know good and evil; and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life and eat and live forever, therefore, the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden.'" The*words which we suppose are to be supplied, we have italicised. Every one acquainted with the Hebrew language knows that it, in common with all other languages, is very elliptical. A translator never should render an elliptical passage so as to contradict the general tenor of the wh ole Bible. It is manifest that God's preventing Adam from eating of the tree of life, was an act of mercy. Had Adam been permitted to eat of the tree of life, after having eaten of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, it would have confirmed him and all his race in a state of hopeless ruin. Adam's probationary state ended, and his state of condemnation began, the moment he ate the foroiaaen mm. jtiaa he eaten of the tree of life, his state of condemnation would have become an unalterable fact. In mercy, God drove him from the Garden of Eden, that the way of salvation, through a redeemer, might be open. Had Adam not disobeyed the command of God, he would never have been driven from Eden to till the ground out of which he was taken. All sin consists in disobeying the command of God, and the whole of duty is comprehended in the word obey. See 1st Samuel, 15:22, 23. God inflicts no punishment of any kind, or character, upon any of his creatu res for anything but disobedience ; and they that obey the command of the Lord are blesaed. The expulsion of Adam from Eden was a severe punishment, but it was mingled with mercy. 45 Years Before the Public. THE GENUINE DR. C.

The stomach is affected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometime? 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 he can scarcely summon up fortitude enough to try it In fact, he distrusts every remedy. Several of the above symptoms attend the disease, but cases have occurred where few of them existed, yet examination of the body, after death, has shown the liver to have been extensively deranged. AGUE AND FEVER. Dr. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in cases of Ague and Fever, when taken with Quinine, are pioductive of the most happy results. No better cathartic can be used, preparatory to, or after taking Quinine. We would advise all who are afflicted with this disease to give them a fair trial.
