A SILENT PARTNER.
THE MAX WHO SUFFERED FROM A LEGISLA- ,
TIVE ENACTMENT.
Old Dabbs and Jim Carter, two colored ,
men, having grown tired of farming, came j
to this city and opened a kind of grocery
store. Dabbs was a shrewd, bow-legged man,
with broad fleet, and with a nose shaped like
the half of a pear. Carter was young and
inexperienced. After the stock had been ;
purchased, Dabbs remarked: "Carter, I'se \
de oldest. In dis case hit's naisessary fur 1
yer to be de jungier podner."
"All right," said Carter. "I don't keer j
what my name is, but I wants half de money
what come in ober de counter."
"Dat's a fack, Carter; ver'll make a sharp
business man. Dar's a lot ob niggers got
dar eyes bn dis sto', but we'll fool 'em.
Carter does yer owe any debts in dis wurl ?"
"Lemrfe see ; yes, I owes & man fur a saddle-blanket."
"How long hab you owed him :
"Bout five years."
"How much wuz hit wurf ?"
"'Bout two dollars."
Lemrae count de intrust. Two is two,
added onto de five, duplex fractions corain'
in twixt de two and de five; compound carthartic
fractions comin' in twixt de duplex
fractions. Nine's a nine, wid teu as a podner.
Ten goes 'way an' 'leben staus up.
Mr. Carter, yer owes dat man 'leben hundred
dollars an' a quarter."
"How's dat ?"
"Why, cordin' ter de intrust. De intrust
is awful heaby. Hit fairly makes a man
sweat. Hit breaks up de white man and
robs de niggah of his labor. Dat man could
come and break up our sto'. He could sell
us out. I beard a plantation niggah talkin'
bout us yesterday. Now if yer wuz de
signer podner, which means de olest, de man
couldn't do nothin'. Dis is a fault ob de
law. De laigislature is a awful rascal lot of
fellers. Well, now, yer must be ray silent
podner Does ye heah ?"
"I'se lisenin'."
"Den the man can't tech yer. I'se got a
head as long as a watermillion. Well, now,
lemrae read yer dis paper."
Then Dabbs read the following :
"Dis heah is ter certify dat Dabbs an'
Carter is podners. Dabbs is de action podner,
an' Carter is de silen' podner. Dis is
also to certify dat so soon ez Dabbs quits
bein' de action podner, de whole sto* 'longs
ter Carter; an' when Carter quits bein' de
silen' podner, widout anuder 'greement, de
sto' all 'longs ter Dabbs."
"Dis were wrote up by a cullud lawyer,"
said Dabbs. "Sign de paper."
The two mpn siimed the instrument and
called in witnesses. Next morning Dabbs
came down to the store early, and when Carter
arrived all the witnesses were sittiug in
the store-room.
"Good morning, Dabbs," said Carter.
Dabbs didn't say anything, and Carter continued
: "Why de deuce doesec't yer speak
ter me ?"
"De sto's all mine," said Dabbs, rising and
turning to the witnesses.
"How's dat!" asked Carter.
"Case yer's no longer a silent podner.
Yer's talking. When a man talks he's not
silent. "Yer'll please lebe my sto', Carter,
an' go off down in the country. Ef yer'd
stuck ter de'greement ebryting would been
all right. Hit's plain ter be seed dat yer
won't."
Carter appealed to the witnesses, but was
informed that he had broken silence, and of
course was no longer part owner of the store.
The disconsolate man left. He is now a
candidate for the legislature, and swears that
if he is elected he will work for the repeal of
the law.?Little Bock Gazette.
Something Inside a Pig.?Said Edward
Everett ouce: "The common people will al
ways understand a speaker who understands
himself and uses simple language." But
some speakers seem to possess the incurable
faculty of always shooting over the common
people's heads. The story is told of a
city minister, who, afterpreaching for a friend
in the country, was told by the latter:
"You have given us a very good sermon,
with one exception, and that is, you used some
words our people don't understand."
The former thought the latter was certainly
mistaken, and asked what single word he
bad usea tnat all could Dot easily understand.
"Why," replied the other, "you said 'felicity'
instead of 'happiness.' Now, all our people
know what 'happiness* is, but a great many of
then), I assure you, do not know the meaning
of 'felicity.' " As the preacher doubted this,
the country minister said : "There comes one
of our plain, sensible farmers; we will ask
him."
And as the farmer came up he said: "We
were just speakiug about a word?the word
'felicitycan you tell us what is its meaning?"
"Why, yes," said the farmer.; "certainly, I
know what 'felicity' is ; it is something inside
a pig. though I don't know exactly what!"?

Tom Marshall was using quite abusive
language in a Kentucky court at one time,
and the judge, after one or two reprimands,
fined him $10 for contempt. Mr. Marshall
looked at the judge with a smile, and asked
where he was to get the money, as he had not
a red. "Borrow it of a friend," said the court.
"Well, sir," answered Mr. Marshall, "you are
the best friend I have ; will you lend me the
money?" "Mr. Clerk," said the judge, "you
may remit the fine. The State is as able to
lose it as I am."
teiF* A Galveston family has a colored servant
that, while very attentive to her duties,
has never been known to give anybody a civil
answer. Purely as an experiment, the lady
of the house bought her a new calico dress,
and gave it to her, saying : "I am glad to
have the pleasure, Matildy, of giving you
this dress." "Yer raout hah had dat pleasure
long ago ef yer had had any regard foah
my feelings," was the gracious response.?

New Yorker advertised that for $1
he would send directions how to cure a turnup
nose. A young lady who forwarded a
dollar received the directions next day. She
was advised to employ a blacksmith to strike
her a heavy blow on the end of the nose with
a sledge hammer until a cure was effected. A
very striking remedy, but she didn't follow
the directions.
"Henry is so practical !" said Mrs.
Youngwife. "When mother went into the
country last year Henry sent all her things
after her the very next day ; he said she might
want some of them, you know. And it's
kind o' funny," she went on, "mother did want
them, for she has never come back to live
with us since. Wasn't it queer ?"
A high-toned traveler pepped into the
depot, and addressing one of the employes, remarked
: "Well, this is enough to make a
mule laugh." The answer was rather too
personal perhaps, for the railroad man quickly
inquired: "Well, why don't you laugh if
you want to?"

would you ?"'?Boston Transcript.

SHEEP AND THE FERTILITY OF THE SOIL.
. As showing the importance of sheep hus- '
bandry in various countries of the globe, we i
find that Great Britain has one sheep to each |
two acres of land ; Germany, France and
Spain one to each five acres ; the United
States one to each fifty-six acres. This latter,
however, does not give a really correct idea.
Sheep husbandry is essentially of more and
more importance: in thickly settled regions.
The United States has yet vast areas of wild
and unsettled or partially settled land. The
New England stales, with an area nearly four
fifths as large as that of Great Britain, have
but one sheep to each thirty acres, and Ohio,
mi. nrMo'oct aKopn nrwliipinor af.Rt.PS.

has but oue to each eight acres. The cotton
states have but one sheep to each 267,000
acres; yet as the Prairie Farmer has time and
again said, there is no region in the country
better adapted to the production of wool, and
especially of fine mutton. All the hill regions
of the South, even of the gulf states, might not
only raise their o vu mutton and alarge amount
of wool for export, but sections near to railways i
might realize largely from the sale of early j
lambs at high prices for shipments North. I
So they might send extra fat mutton sheep j
North, which always sell for good prices. I
The great drawback to this industry in the '
South is, as is well known, the horde of dogs !
kept there. Legislation might do something
to remove this disability, especially if it was
supplemented by a severe shot-gun practice or
that more effectual remedy, strychnine.
Sheep husbandry is one of the essential
means which has been used in England to
bring into the highest productiveness the worn
lands of that country. There it has been turnips
and sbeep. In the South it may be mangel
wurtzel and sheep, supplemented with
corn, to which many portions of the South
are well adaptor). It is true, grass must be
the foundation of all successful farming. In
this respect the intelligent farmers there must
experiment with a view to Ending the varieties
best adapted to the climate. There are
undoubtedly varieties of clover which will
io well there. Alfalfa should be at home in
the South, but this plant is better adapted to ;
soiling than to pasturage.
There is no farm animal that with proper I
care?and this they must have?will do more J
? o _ || |
, tor a worn country man sneep. oo wen
known is this that their tread has been called
golden. It is so inasmuch that while paying
well for the care bestowed on them, they are
constantly enriching the soil on which they
feed by their droppings. It has also been
said that sheep pay twice; once in the fleece
aud once in carcase. This again is truism,
but to be applied with profit, the conditions
must be congenial and the care exact.
The West, as a rule, is better adapted to
the growth of cattle and the feeding of swine
than it is to sheep husbandry. Pastures on its
teeming soil are flush, and corn is king.
Sheep require a firm soil, or at least* a dry
one. A hilly couutry is especially adapted
to sheep.
Large portions of the South possess this broken
country. It has heretofore been allowed
to run to waste, and only the cotton, sugar,
and rice lands have been utilized. The almost
exclusive cultivation of cotton over a
wide range of territory has impoverished the
soil, as any crop exclusively cultivated for a
long succession, of years will asuredly do, however
rich the soil may originally be. Thence
forward the regeneration of the soil must be a
work of time. Special fertilizers may stimulate
the soil into a fictitious fertility for some
other years, but unless supplemented by a judicious
rotation, the end carries the soil further
and further from real fertility. A judicious
rotation of crops, with plenty of grass,
and sheep to eat it, is, we believe, the ground
work of recuperation for much of the upland
region of the South. Not exclusively sheep,
however ; swine, horses aud cattle must find
a place. But when kept in small flocks, the
long wool varieties of sheep may be kept in
inef rwrnnnrifinn lis thp rtisrtliilifv Or lo.SS
from predatory dogs may be removed. The
finer wooled breed may be kept in larger
fiocks.
Sick Headache.?This complaint is the
result of eating too much and exercising too
little. Nine times in ten the cause is in the
fact that the stomach was not able to digest
the food last introduced into it, either from its
having been unsuitable, or excessive in quantity.
A diet of bread and butter, with ripe
fruit or berries, with moderate and continuous
exercise in the open air'sufficient to
keep up a gently perspiration, would cure
almost every case in a short time. Two teaspoonfuls
of powdered charcoal in a half
glass of water, mid drank, gives instant relief.
A sovereign remedy for this distressing
disease is not easily found. A new correspondent
says: Sick headache is periodical,
comes on at regular intervals, and is the signal
of distress which the stomach puts out to
inform us that there is an over-alkaline condition
of the fluids ; that it needs a natural
acid to restore the battery to its normal
working condition. When the first symptoms
of headache appear, take a tablespoonful
of lemon juice clear, fifteen minutes before
each meal, aud the same dose at bedtime.
Follow this up until all symptoms are passed,
taking no other remedies, and you will soon
be able to go free from this unwelcome nuisance.
Tender Footed Horses.?An old man,
who has had much experience in haudling
and dealing in horses for more than half a
century, said to me recently that he had nevi
er kuown a horse to get "tender-footed" that
was kept loose in a shed and yard, or in a
' ox stall ; that turning round and treading
with their foward feet in the manure, kept
them constantly moist and soft. His theory
appeared perfectly reasonable to me. I have
no box stalls, but I use shavings for bedding, 1
and every morning with a large shovel I
move the wet shavings under the horse's
front feet, and then the last thing at night
cover these with dry shavings for him to lie
on. He remarked that he had never known
a flat-footed horse but what was a great worker.
KiT A glue for ready use is made by adding
to any quantity of glue, common whisky
instead of water. Put both together iu a
bottle, cork it tight and set it away for three
or four days, when it will be fit for use without
the application of heat. Glue thus prepared
will keep for years, and is at all times fit for
use, except in very cold weather, when it !
should be set in warm water before using. :
To obviate the difficulty of the stopper getting
tight by the glue drying in the mouth of the
vessel, use a tin vessel with the cover fitting
tight on the outside to prevent the escape of I
the spirit by evaporation. A strong solution
of isinglass made in the same manner, is an
excellent cement for leather.
Health Undervalued.?Such is the I
power of health, that witfiout its co-operation
every other comfort is torpid and lifeless as the
power of vegetatiou without the sun. And
yet this bliss is commonly thrown away in
thoughtless negligence or in foolish experiments
on our own strength. We let it perish
without remembering its value, or waste it
to show how much we have to spare. It is j
sometimes given up to the management of
levity and chance, and sometimes sold for the
applause of jollity and debauchery.
Kg- Dr. Lawes says: "Forty-two pounds
of nitrogen applied in the form of nitrate
of soda, with other mineral manures, to one
acre of barley, has, for twenty-five years in
succession, produced as large a crop as an
annual application of fourteen tous of farmyard
manure per acre.
I@- A Connecticut physician is credited
with the statement that hydrophobia is common
in these last days because dogs are fed on
"all sorts of leavings from the table, partieu- i
larly meat," instead of the more wholesome
"johnny cake and milk" of fifty years ago. 1

REV. ROBERT LATHAN.
THE RESPONSIBILITY OF PARENTS.
The responsibility of the parent is manifest
in the very law of reproduction itself. As
the life of the child is derived from the parent,
so are its mental characteristics and its
moral tendencies. We hear much of hereditary
drunkenness. But this is no more transmissible
to offspring than other tendencies,
both to vice aud virtue. Dr. Dabury, of the
Union Theological Seminary of Virginia, in
bis sermon on this subject, gives this illustration
from the last days of the first Napoleon :
"As his life was consumed upon the gloomy ,
rock of St. Helena, by that awful malady,
cancer of the stomach, one of the few alleviations
allowed him by his jailors, was the presence
of a skilIful Italian physician, Dr. Automarchi.
The French officers near him relate
that, when death was recognized as cer
tain, the Emperor Juid his dying hands upon
his compatriot to return to Italy, visit his only
son, watch over his health, and endeavor, by
every resource of his art, to ward off the dire
inheritance of his father's disease."
Not less do we need to look after the wrong
tendencies of our own natures in these reproductions
of our lives, and to be forewarned
ought to he fore armed. Here is the responsibility
of reaching the minimum in evil
transmissions and by the most careful and
thoughtful training to overcome the hereditary
tendencies to evil.
We once heard the Rev. Alfred Cookman
make the startling declaration that up to the
period of accountability, the parent was the
God of the child. It seems to be as true as
startlihg, however. Thechrld knows no higher
wisdom, no higher authority, than that of
the parent. And, during the best part of the
formative period, no influence is so potent as
that of the parents. Their manners, words,
and conduct are observed, to be imitated as
the sum of all excellency, their teachings are
regarded as infallible. What they regard as
matters of indifference are marked as indifferent
by the child, what they condemn is despicable
to the child, what they admire and insist
upon becomes the child's standard of
right. To the parent's watchfulness and patient
care in teaching and training, does the
chi'd owe his future. As the child is father
of the man, so do the iufiueuces which make
the child also make the man.
In caring for a child we are moulding a life,
fashioning an immortality. We are making
or breaking a co-laborer with God tyr the
world's evangelization. There are powers of
restraint which belong to parents, and they
are accountable for their exercise. It will be
remembered that the sin of Eli cousisted in
this, "His children did evil in the sight of the
Lord, and he did not restrain them.". Here
is the power of restraint shown, and power to
do is the only limit of duty. He did not restrain
them from evil while he could, and so
teach its necei. ity, and when old enough to
restrain themselves, the sous did not appreciate
the need, and so destruction came upon
the family, and sorrow and defeat upon
Israel.
We read recently of a miscreant stealing
upon an engine duriug the temporary absence
of the engineer and fireman, and starting it
off at a high rate of speed through a city.
No doubt the law will deal with him severely,
and all the people will say, Amen. But what
shall he said of those who launch into being
the immortal mechanism of a new life, and
start it raciug through the crowded thoroughfares
with tremendous motive power, hut with
no restraining hand upon the throttle. It
means, self-destruction, and destruction of all
in its track.
A gentleman, converted at forty six, assigned
as the influence which led to it, the life
and dying words of his mother, who died
when he was but six years of age. And, as
she then placed it, her haud had been on
his head all these years, until it had led him
back to his mother's God.
The responsibility of parents faithfully
met must result well. "Train up a child in
I*** *r/\ on/I inlton ho i<a nlil ho
IliC WBJ lie Otn/UIVI MliU fl liVM uw aw V?a
will not depart from it." And for his training
the parents are responsible. It is theirs
naturally and by command, and may not
be delegated to another.? Conference Worker.
The Nobility of Life.?There is no action
so slight nor so mean but it may be done
to a great purpose, and be ennobled therefor;
nor is any purpose so great but that
slight actions may help it, and may be so
done as to help it much, most especially that
chief of all purposes?the pleasing of God.
We treat God with irreverence by banishing
him from our thoughts, by not referring to
his will on slight occasions. His is not the
finite authority or intelligence which cannot
be troubled with small things.. There is
nothing so small but that we may honor God
by asking his guidance of it, or insult him by
taking it into our own hauds ; and what is
true of the Deity is equally true of his revelation.
We use it most reverently when
most habitually ; our insolence is in ever acting
without reference to it; our true honoring
of it is in its universal application, God
appoints to every one of his creatures a separate
mission ; and if they discharge it honorably,
if they quit themselves like men, and
faithfully follow the light which is in them,
withdrawing from it all cold aod quenchless
influence, there will assuredly come of such
burnings as, according to its appointed mode
and measure, shall shine before men, and be
of service constaut and holy. Degrees infinite
of lustre there must always be, but the
weakest among us has a gift, however seemingly
trivial, which is peculiar to him, and
which, worthily used, will be a gift, also, to
his race for ever. Says George Herbert:
For all may have,
If they choose, a glorious life or grave.

his divinity and glory. While the darkened
sun, and quaking earth and rending rocks
emphatically announce their sympathy with
their suffering Lord, His divinity shines iu
still brighter glory iu the working of bis spirit
and grace iu the heart of the penitent thief.
Here his glorious grace shines in all its beauty
and graudeur; here it works with efficacious
power for the salvation of a soul. In
this picture we have strikingly presented
three crosses and three divine victories ; first,
Jesus our Saviour, the object of worship ; second,
the penitent thief a believing sinner,
and third, the unbelieving, rallyiug, hopeless
rejector of Christ. While the whole picture
is intensely absorbing and attractive, we instinctively
gather about the praying penitent,
and join our hearts iu his prayer of faith.?

86?* Rev. Dr. Parker, of London, in a recent
address said : "My mother, sir!" says
the wild youth, "Why, sir, there is nothing on
earth that I would not do for my mother. I
would walk fifty miles on burning metal for
my mother." His nice dear old mother,
does not want any filial piety so tragical as
that, but she would like him to keep her com- j
pany sometimes on winter nights; she would
like him to come home an hour earlier in the
evening; she would be pleased if he would
get up au hour sooner iu the morning, she
would be thankful if he would go to church
regularly and sit by her side. She does not
want the agony of tragedy, she pines for the
gentleness of quiet and thoughtful love.
An Arab, when one day the question ;
was put, "How do you know there is a God ?" i

of the existence and character of Jehovah,"
