|IutB0M?si Department. A Modest Brother.?A certain gentleman requiring legal assistance, had been recommended to one of two brothers, but had forgotten the Christian name of him he sought, so he called at the office of the one first found and asked for Mr. Podger. "That is my name, sir." "But there are two of you of that name here in town ?" "Yes." "Well, I wish to consult the Mr. Podger? excuse me for the allusion?who wears a wig." "We both wear wigs, sir." "Well, the man I seek was divorced from his wife not long ago." "There, you hit us both again, sir." "The man to whom I was recommended has recently been accused of forgery, though I trust unjustly." "There we are again, my dear sir. We have both had that gentle insinuation laid at our doors." "Well, upon my word, you two brothers bear a striking resemblance. But I guess I have it now. The one I am after is in the habit of occasionally drinking to excess? sometimes to intoxication." "My dear man, that little vice is unfortunately characteristic of the pair of us, and I doubt if our best friends could tell you which was the worst." "Well, you are a matched pair, certainly. But, tell me," continued the visitor, "which of the twain it was that took the poor debtor's oath a few months ago ?" "Ha, ha, we were both in that muddle. I was on Bob's paper and he was on mine." "In mercy's name!" cried the applicant, desperately. "Will you tell me which of the two is the most sensible man ?" "Ah! there you touch bottom, my friend. Poor Bob, I can't stretch the truth, even to serve a brother. If you want the more sensi ble ooe of the two, 1 suppose I must acknowi^ edge the corn. I'm the man." She Sewed on his Buttons.?Old Blummer is tight-fisted. Several days ago he said to his wife, "Maria, I want you to look over that broadcloth vest of mine and put new buttons on it, 'cause I'm going to a card party to night" "But, Ely," answered Mrs. B., "I haven't any buttons to match that vest, and?" "Thunder!" broke in Blummer; "the idea of a woman keeping house as long as you have, au' pretendin' to be out of buttons. By George ! I b'lieve you'll ask me for money to buy 'em with next." That evening Blummer hurried through his supper and began arraying himself for the card-party. Presently he called for the broadcloth vest, aud Mrs. B.t with marvelrvnc nrnmnh'tiiHo handed it tn him He took it, hastily unfolded it, and then, as his eye took io its complete appearance, he stood as one transfixed. It was a six button vest, and there were six buttons on it, and the dazed optic of Blummer observed that tbe first, or top one, was a tiny pearl shirt button, and that the next one was a brass army-overcoat button, with U. S. gleaming upon it, and that number three was an oxydizea silver affair, and that number four was a horn button, evidently from the back of one of the Puritan fathers' coats ; and then came a suspender button, and then, as the dazzled eyes of old Blummer reached the bottom button? a poker chip, found in Blummer's pocket, with two holes punched through it?he gave a snort that made the chandelier jingle. There is, after all, a fine sense of humor about Blummer, and he laughed till he cried. And there won't be any button money grudged in that house-hold hereafter. - ttST A Cambridge, Massachusetts, mother sent her small boy into the country, and after a week of anxiety received this letter: "I got here all right, and I forgot to write before; it is a very nice place to have fun. A feller and I went out in a boat and the boat tipped over, and a man got me out and I was so full of water I didn't know nothing for a good long while. The other boy has got to be buried after they find him. His mother come from Chelsea, and she cries all the time. A boss kicked me over and I have got to have some money to pay the doctor for fixing my head. Wo are going to set an old barn on fire to night* and I should smile if we don't nave bully tun. 1 lost my watcn ana l am very sorry. I shall bring home some mud turkles and I shall bring home a tame wood chuck, if I can get 'em in my trunk." On George Washington.?Perhaps the boy who wrote the following told nearer the truth than he dreamed : George Washington was a little boy what once lived in Virginny what had a na$ give him by his old man. Wen george he got the ax he cut ted a tree what had cherries upon it and eat the cherreys he and nother boy. Wen georges old man foun out what george an the nother boy done, he called george and ses, george Washington who cutteed the bark ofen the cherry tree! george says i did Tha old man sais you did george sais i did and i cannot tell ali. Why cant you tell a li said the old man. Coz sais george if i tell a li this here fellerl blow on me and then ill be spanked twict, thats rite sais the old man whenever ver git into trouble the esyist way out is the best. aSF* A gentleman sent his Irish servant up to his room for a pair of boots, and at the same time told him to be sure and get mates, as there were two pairs in the closet. Patrick returned with two boots, but odd ones. "Why, don't you see these are not alike?one is a long top and the other a short one ?" said the gentleman, out of patience with the fellow. "Bedad, your honor," said Pat in apology, "and it is true for ye ; but the other pair was just so, too !" BST" The Count de V., in- the mildest tone, to bis servant: "Joseph,you have been drim iug my rum again, and you have put water i : it to make up the deSciency." "I admit it, sir ; but I swear I will drink no more of it." The Count de V., slightly elevating his shoulders: "You always exaggerate ! I don't ask you not to drink it; I only ask vou not to put water in what is left. For really it is not fair that you should drink rum pure, and that I should drink rum and water." iST "See ! said a reverend gentleman, "here is an illustration. At one time I should have sworn awfully at this 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 reverend gentlemen, raising his hand with some vehemence, made a grab at the offender, and, being successful, opened it to throw the insect from him, when iu extreme disgust he exclaimed : "Why, d?n it. its's a wasrv" i@T It is told of James Russell Lowell that when he was last in Rome a mendicant monk met the poet in the Corso one day, and asked for a contribution to repair a monastery. "Ypu should not ask me for aid," remarked Lowell in choice Tuscan, "for I am a heretic." "That makes no difference, replied the astute friar; "your money is orthodox." The poet appreciated the witticism, and made the contribution asked. A rather flashily dressed young lady in company with her mother, was coming out of church, and while walking down the massive stone steps the old lady slipped and went headlong to the sidewalk. The daughter, horror stricken, hid her face in a 825 handkerchief, and instead of helping her mother up, blurted out, "Oh ! mother, such an idea ! j How could you fall here? You're perfectly j awful! I'm sorry I came out with you !" BoF A guest at one of the fashionable hotels took his seat at the dinner table, one day last week, but no one appearing to wait upon him he remarked, "Have they any waiters in j this hotel?" "Yes," responded a wag on the j opposite side of the table, "the boarders are i the toaitcrs." i ?ftr and Jireside. CARE OF HARNESS. Though the harness is an article of every day use, there are few who know how to care for it, so as to insure its durability, and to keep it looking clean and neat. A harness that has been on a horse's back several hours in hot or rainy weather becomes wet, and if not properly cleaned, the damage to the leather is irreparable. If, after being taken from the horse in this condition, it is hung up in a careless manner, traces and reins twisted into knots, the saddle and bridle hung askew, the leather, when dried, retains the shape given it while wet, and when forced to the originakform damage is done to the stitching and the leather. Those who use the harness are not altogether in fault for this ; they would take care of it if they knew the extent of damage that would result from their carelessness, and that they do not is the fault of the manufacturer. It is a mistaken policy that leads the manufacturer of any line of goods to neglect needed information to the buyer. Every harness manufacturer would study his own interests by accompanying each set of harness sold with printed rules for preserving the same. The first point to be observed is to keep the leather soft and pliable; this can be done only by keeping it well charged with oil and grease ; water is a destroyer of these, but mud and the saline moisture from the auimal are even more destructive. Mud in drying absorbs the grease and opens the poree of the leather, making it a ready prey to water, while the salty character of the perspiration from the animal injures the leather, stitching and mountings. It therefore follows that to preserve a harness, the straps should be washed and oiled whenever it has been moistened by sweat or soiled by mud. To do this effectually the straps should all be unbuckled and detached, then washed with a little water .and crown soap, then coated with a mixture of neatsfoot oil and tallow, and be allowed to remaiu undisturbed untilthe water has dried out; then, thoroughly "rubbed with a woolen rag; the rubbiug is important, as it, in addition to removing the surplus oil and grease, tends to close the pores and give a finish to the leather. In hanging harness, care should be taken to allow all the st raps to hang their full length; bridles, pads, gig saddles, and collars should be hung upou forms of the shape of each. Light is essential in<he care of leather, and when the harness closet is dark, the door should be left open at least half of the time during each day. A.l closets should be ventilated, and when possible they should be well lighted. To clean Dlated mountings use a O -- -- - * w chamoise with a little tripoli or rotten stone, but they should be scoured as little as possible. Rubber covered goods are cleaned in the same way. * Leather covered needs to be well brushed and rubbed with a woolen rag. If a harness is thoroughly cleaned twice a year, and when unduly exposed, treated as we have recommended, the leather will retain its softness and strength for many years.?Harness Journal. Planting Grape Vines.?One would suppose that so simple a thing as planting a grape vine would not need writing about; and yet the number of people inquiring, "How shall we plant?" is so great that a few words to these inquirers may well be pardoned by those who think they already know enough about the matter. The rule is to plaut the roots shallow. If they are long when we have to transplant them, instead of setting them deep we lay them along about four or five inches beneath the surface. It is, of course, very necessary to press the soil hard and firm over the roots, that is, if the earth is tolerably dry, though in truth no vine should be planted except the earth is in good condition. It is very useful in planting a grape vine to i _ i ? TT?I a. i l _i? cut It Closely 111. uuiess wie lacst yeai o growth very vigorous it may be almost all cut away; and even where this growth is strong, one half may be cut away. This is the way to get a good strong cane for bearing next year, which is the most that one ought to expect a vine to do. "Immediate bearing" is a delusion and a snare. Many a person spends a dollar or a half dollar extra on a vine, which he is told by tbe seller will "bear this year," when for that amount of money he could buy treble the quantity of grapes it will bear for him, even if it bears at all. Still we like to plant good, strong, healthy vines. The little crow quills, which come out as rare grapes at high prices, seldom give much satisfaction. Indeed, it is more than likely that the immense failures which generally follow all these introductions are as much owing to the way their propagation is forced, as to any inability in the varieties to become M A* a/vtln nl 1 mo f aq nn/oi/lti aUttplCU tU OUIIO aua unuatcoi uw niiiruvu/ft Telegraph. Worth Remembering.?A tablespoonful of black pepper will prevent gray or buff linens from spotting,- if stirred into the first water. To take out ink, immerse the spot in boiling hot tallow; when cool, wash out in soapsuds, and the ink will have disappeared. For burns or scalds cover the place with baking soda, aud tie up with a wet cloth ; the pain is relieved at ouce, and the sore heals rapidly. Coal oil is also an excellent remedy for burns. Remember that brooms that are dipped for a minute or two into a kettle of boiling suds once or twice a week, will last much loDger, and a carpet is not worn half as much by them. Wings of turkeys are nice to dust furniture, but, best of all, to wash windows with, because the corners can be easily and perfectly cleaned by them, leaving no lint behind as when cloths are used. Use them to spread paste when paperiof walls ; there is nothing that does that wo'\ better. To take out fruit stains, tie up cream of tartar in the spotted places, and put the article into cold water and boil it. Recent stains of fruit may be removed by holding the linen tightly stretched over a tub, and pouring hot . t . l /? ? water over me stain ; ao tnis Derore applying soap. If on table linen, rub on it common table salt before it has had time to dry. The salt will keep it dump till the cloth is washed, when the stain will disappear. Cutthts Out.?Every person should know how to treat a fresh wound, because one is liable to be placed in circumstances away from surgical and veterinary aid, where he may save his own life, the life of a friend or a beast simply by the exercise of a little common sense. In the first place, close the lips of the wound with the hand and hold firmly together to check the flow of blood, until several stitch es can be taken and a bandage applied. Then bathe the wound for a long time in cold wa- j ter. "Should it be painful," a correspondent; says, "take a panful o^ burning coals and; sprinkle upon them common brown sugar and : hold the wounded part in the smoke. In a j minute or two the pain will be allayed, and j the recovery proceed rapidly. In ray case a ! rusty nail had made a bad wound in ray foot. | The pain and nervous irritation were severe, j This was removed by holding in smoke fif-1 teen minutes. We have often recommended ! it to others with like result. Last week one of my men had a finger-nail torn out by a pair of ice tongs. It became very painful, as was to be expected. Held in sugar smoke ; twenty minutes, the pain ceased and promised speedy recovery." To Freshen Salt Fish.?Many persons who are in the habit of freshening mackerel, { or other salt fish, never dream that there is a right way and a wrong way to do it. Any person who has seen the process of evapora- \ tion going on at any salt works, knows that; the salt falls to the bottom. 'Just so it is in the pan where your mackerel lies soaking; and, as it lies with the skin side down, the salt will fall to the skin and there remain ; when, if placed with the flesh side down, the salt falls to the bottom of the pan, and the fish , comes out freshened as it should be. In the Other case it is nearly as salt as when put in.' flatting fur the Sabbath. CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.] THE RESURRECTION. Every doctrine taught in the Bible is important, but some doctrines are more important than others. All truth is important, but all truths are not equally important. It is our duty to study the whole Bible, but there are some things revealed in the Scriptures which our finite minds cannot clearly understand. These truths are not essential to salvation. Other truths are plainly revealed, and a clear and correct knowledge of them is absolutely essential to salvation. It is not necessary that we know everything that God has revealed in his word ; but there are some things that he has revealed, which, in order to be saved, we must know. There are many subjects about which it is possible for true Christians to differ; but there are other subjects about which a difference of opinion is inadmissible. These truths form the basis of every orthodox creed Among the important doctrines revealed in the Bible, none is more important than that of the resurrection. Notwithstanding this, it would, perhaps, be true to say that it is a doc trine about which most persons tmnK uui very little. In the Bible, especially in the New Testament, great prominence is given to the doctrine of the resurrection. Concerning the resurrection, we can know nothingexcept what is revealed in the Scriptures. It is.a doctrine of pure revelation. So far as can be discerned by our senses, there is nothing, either in the works of creation or providence, analogous to the resurrection. Nothing ever comes under our observation which even faintly resembles the resurrection of a body after it has been long dead and crumbled into dust. Some suppose that the reviving of the vegetable kingdom on the return of spring, typifies the resurrection of the human body from the grave. A moment's reflection will convince any one that the two things are as .totally unlike, as any two things can be. In the resurrection of the human body, it is dead matter that is reorganized and endowed with life. In spring, the living seeds germinate. All that we know concerning this resurrection is learned from the Bible. It is true that some of the ancient heathen philosophers seem to have had some indistinct notions of the resurrection of the body. Thus, Phocylides says: "It is not good that the admirable harmony which seems to be in the constitution of men should be entirely dissolved. "We hope, therefore, that the remains of the dead will come forth from the earth, and return to the light." From this sentence, it would seem that Phocylides believed in the immortality of the human soul and in the resurrection of the human body. Where or how he learned this, we do not know. Most probably, if he actually used the language quoted above, he had in some way or other learned the ideas the words convey to our minds from the Scripf-m-ps Tt is simnlv impossible for anv man. unaided by inspiration, to arrive at tlie conclusion either that the soul of man is immortal, or that the body of man will be resurrected after death. "VVe think it may be safely asserted that the doctrine of the resurrection is taught neither by the works of the creation nor' by providence. At least man, in his present condition, blinded as he is by sin, cannot infer from anything that is recognizable by the senses, that man's body after death will be restored to life. This being the case, we have to depend wholly upon revelation for all our knowledge on this subject. The Bible reader need not be told that, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, the doctrine of the resurrection is plainly and repeatedly taught. It is readily admitted that it is less frequently and less clearly taught in the Old Testament than in the New; but still it is taught. God promises his people that he will ransom them from the power of the grave"?IIos. 13:14?and the pious and inspired Job rejoices that after his l>ody has been devoured by worms, yet in his tiesh he again should see God. Job 19: 2C>. Other passages from the Old Testament Scriptures might l>e quoted to prove that the doctrine of the resurrection of the body, after death, was a fundamental part of the belief of the Old Testament Church. In the New Testament it is frequently. Dlainlv and positively | taught. It is taught in a regularly formmal way in which no other doctrine, except justification by faith, is taught in the whole Scriptures. The fact is stated, and many attendant circumstances are also stated. The resurrection of the dead, as described by Paul, is only surpassed in sublime grandeur by the general judgment. The importance of the resurrection will be readily seen, if it is considered that the success of Jesus Christ, as the redeemer, was made by himself, to hinge upon his rising again from the dead. "Destroy this temple,1' said lie, "and in three days I will raise it up." That is, put me to death, and in three days this body of mine will, by my divine power, be raised up again from the dead. This was the test of his divinity. Had he failed in this, he would, by his own covenanted arrangement, have failed in every thing. If there is no such thing as a resurrection of the dead?if it is, as some have pronounced it, "aniles fabulas"? old wives'1 fables?then Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead, and according to his own agreement, his lifeof obedience and agonizing death was a grand failure. It is very remarkable that no event was ever better attested than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. If it be admitted that the New Testament is the word of God ; nay, if it is only admitted that the New Testament is a truthful history?then more than five hundred persons can be put on the stand, all of whom will testify, most positively, that they saw Jesus after he arose from the grave. Some of these were Sadducees, who before denied that there was such a thing as the resurrection of the dead. The fact that Jesus Christ rose from the dead is designed to be firmly fixed in the minds of all men, and especially in the minds of Christians, by the institution of the Christian Sabbath. Previous to the resurrection of Jesus. the Sabbath was designed by God to com memorate a finished creation. In six days all things were created, and on the seventh God rested, or ceased to create, and that day was set apart as a commemorative day of that fact. On the first day of the week, Jesus rose from the dead, and that day was, by God, set apart as a commemorative day of a once dead and buried, but now risen and exalted Saviour, liy the command of God, one seventh of the Christian's time, or one day in seven, is set apart for the special purpose of celebrating, with appropriate religious services, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The doctrine of the Scriptures is that Jesus Christ was the first fruits, and his people the whole harvest. As was the first fruits so will be the whole crop. In other words, as Jesus Clirist was raised from the dead, so will be his people. "When he appears as the judge of the world, his people will api>ear with him. They shall be like him in all the gre^t features of his glorified humanity. The Scriptures also teach that unbelievers will be raised from the dead, but far different will be their surroundings. Jesus, whose offers of mercy they neglected or rejected, will call their sin-polluted bodies from the grave, and display his glory in punishing the unbeliever in both soul and body. In religion, as in everything else, it is the diligent hand that maketh rich. A satisfactory Christian experience is obtained by the punctual performance of every religious duty by the regular systematic use of the divinely appointed means of grace. The habit of being always employed is a great safeguard through life, as well as essential to the culture of every virtue. (Stowntg Elections. THE PRIMARY ELECTION.
