Humorous JSrpartmcui. Slightly Exaggerated.-VThe tendency of some Western men to exaggerate is well set off in the following : "Yes, sir," resumed the Dakota man, as the crowd of agriculturalists seated themselves around a little table, "yes, sir, we do things on rather a sizable scale. I've seen a man 011 one of our big farms start out in the spring and plough a straight furrow until fall. Then he turned round and harvested back. We have some big farms up there, gentlemen. A friend of mine owned one on which he had to give a mortgage, and the mortgage was due on one end before they could get it recorded at the other. You see it was laid off in counties." There was a murmur of astouishment, and the Dakota man continued : "I got a letter from a man who lives in my orchard, just before I left home, and it had been three weeks getting to the dwelling-house, although it had traveled day and night." "Distances are pretty wide up there, ain't they ?" inquired one. "Reasonably, reasonably," replied ine nakota man. "And the worst of it is, it breaks up families so. Two years ago I saw a whole family prostrated with grief. Women yelling, children howling, and dogs barking. One of my men had his camp truck packed on seven four-mule teams and he was around bidding even-body good-bye." "Where was lie going ?"asked a Gravesend man. "He was going half way across the farm to feed the pigs," replied the Dakota man. "Did ho ever get back to his family V" "It isn't time for him yet," returned the I Dakota gentleman. "Up there we send young married couples to milk the cows, and their children bring home the milk." A Well-Selected Jury.?Down in an extremely rural district of Arkansas an old man was arrested for stealing a hog. The proof was positive, and the Court was surprised when .the plea of not guilty was introduced. The lawyer for the defense, a man well-known for his trickery rather than his ability, seemed particularly desirous of selecting a jury that would not show partiality in its decision. The prosecuting attorney, a young and inexperienced man, agreed to every juryman selected by the defense, and the Judge, although he might have stepped over the bounds of judicial courtesy, said nothing. The arguments were concluded, leaving in the minds of the people 110 doubt as to the verdict, for one of the witnesses, a man whose word one could not dispute, swore that he saw the defendant when he stole the animal. The jury retired, and, after a few moments, returned with a verdict of not guilty, in exact opi>osition to the charge of the Court. When the court adjourned, the Judge approached the lawyer for the defense and remarked : "Look here, my friend, I never heard of SUCH a veruict. I cannot, as <111 liiiiiaibUM uioseminator of justice, allow so flagrant an outrage to be perpetrated 011 this community. That man is as guilty as Judas, but if you will tell me the secret of the acquittal, I'll allow the verdict to pass." "You see, Judge, some of the jurymen were rather young and some rather older." "Yes, but what does that signify ?" "It signifies that I run in the old man's twelve sons on the jury."?Little Bock Gazette. Why the Parson Left Kentucky.?A good many years ago, when a certain place in Texas was a very small town, quite a numlter of prominent citizens went out on a hunting expedition. One night, when they were all gathered around the camp fire, one of the party suggested that each man should give the time and reason for his leaving his native State and coming to Texas, whereupon each one in turn told his experience. Judge Blank had killed a man in self-defense, in Arkansaw; General Soandso had forged another man's signature to a check, while another came to Texas on account of his having two wives. The only man who did not make any disclosures was a sanctimonious looking old man who, although a professional gambler, was usually called "Parson." "Well, Parson, why did you leave Kentucky ?" "I don't care to say anything about it. Besides it was only a trifle. None of you would believe me anyhow." "Out w'th it! Did you shoot anybody ?" "Xo, gentlemen, I did not. Since you want to know so bad, I'll tell you. I left Kentucky because I did not build a church." Deep silence fell on the group. Xo such excuse for comincr to Texas had ever been heard l>efore. There was, evidently, an unexplained mystery at the bottom of it. The "parson" was. called on to furnish more light. "Well, gentlemen, you see a congregation raised three thousand dollars and turned it over to me to build the church, and I didn't build the church. That's all." Offering a Bargain.?A few days ago the following amusing dialogue was heard on our streets between a citizen and a "'spectable culled pusson," who had three small chickens for Side: Colored ]>erson?"Boss, does yer wish ter buy some berry fine fowls dis ebening." Citizen?"I don't know whether I do or not; what do you ask for them ?" Colored person?"Boss, I isn't got de time ter try de market ter see what such fowls as dese is wurf an' I'll let you hab 'emfer twenty cents apiece; berry cheap fowls, Boss."* Citizen?"You ask too much for them, fifteen cents would be a good price for such chickens as these." Colored person?'"Well, Boss, its jest like I tell yer, I isn't de time ter 'quire roun' ter see what dose fowls am wurf, an' ruther'n bodder wid 'em I'll sell all three of 'em for sixty cents; mighty cheap, Boss." But there was no trade, the citizen not being able to see the "discount." The Sky-Rocket Brand.?A man traveling, entered a tavern, and seeing no one present but the landlord and a negro, seated himself and entered into conversation with the negro. Shortly, he asked Sambo if he was dry. Sambo said he was. Stranger told him to go to the bar and take something at his expense. Negro did so and shortly left. Landlord says to t h^ stranger: "Are you acquainted with that nigger !" "No, never saw him before; but why do you ask ?" "I supposed so from your conversing with him and asking him to drink." "Oh !" said the stranger, "I was experimenting. The fact is, I was dry myself, and I thought that if your liquor didn't kill the negro in fifteen minutes, I would venture to take a drink myself." Landlord's curiosity fully satisfied. Pat's Pledge.?"Tim, this won't do; you must take warning from the fate of your friend, O'Shaughnessy. Only three nights ago lie came home much soberer than you are, but in attempting to blow out a candle his breath took fire and he exploded?blew up?so his friends in three days have not been able to scrape enough of him together to hold a wake over." "An' do von mane to tell ine that he burst up ?" said Tim. "Indeed I do, upon my honor." Tim said he would take the pledge at once, and he did so in the following form : "I swear never to blow out a candle while I am drunk again." Love's Confidence.?"Tell what it is, darling," lie said, taking her hand and drawing closer; "don't keep anything from me." j "0, Eugene!" sheblushingly replied. "But there ought to lie no secret between us," he expostulated. "True love is the very spirit of confidence." "It's something I've been going to ask you for some time." "Then let me know it now," he added, ardently, with a tender pressure of her hand. "I will," she said. "What is the best cure for corns V" A gray hair was discovered among the raven locks of a fair friend of ours a few days ago. "O, pray, pull it it out," she exclaimed. "If I pull it out ten will come to the funeral," replied the lady who had made the unwelcome discovery. "Pluck it out, nevertheless," said the fail** haired damsel, "it's no sort of consequence how many come to the funeral, provided they all come in black." ? A bickering pair of Quakers were heard in high controversy, the husband exclaiming : "I am determined to have one quiet week with thee!" "But how wilt thou be able to get it?" said the taunting spouse, in that sort of reiteration which married ladies so provokingly indulge in. "I will keep thee a week after thou art dead," was the Quaker's rejoinder. Ihe <f?rm and Jwsiih. How to Obtain Long Life.?Thousands of people annually ruin their constitutions by simply swallowing too much medicine. It may seem a st ange thing for a medical man to say, but it: s nevertheless a fact. It is a dangerous thing to fly with every ailment to the medicine chest. The use of tonics unless under medical advice, should be discountenanced ; a tonic is sharper than a two-edged sword ; it is a tool that needs to be used with caution. There are now, 1 am sorry to see, aerated waters coming into use which contain the strongest mineral tonics that are apt to accumulate in the system with the most disastrous results. They should, therefore, not be drunk ad libitum as to quantity or without guidance as to quality. Itest should be taken with great regularity. One day in seven should be set apart for the complete rest of both body and mind. Indej?endent of this, all who can afford it should take an annual holiday. Traveling is cheap, and two weeks or a month's relaxation from care and business cannot make a bic hole in the nurse of one who works well all the rest of the year, and knows how to economize time. Innocent pleasure and wholesome recreation conduce to longevity. All work and no play sends Jack to an early grave. Recreation is to the mind and nervous system what sunshine is to the blood. As a physician, I must be allowed to say just one word about the quieting, calming effect of religion upon the mind. The truly religious make by far and away the best patients, their chances of recovery from serious sickness are greater, and so is their chance of long life, simply owing to the power they have of submitting themselves quietly, yet humbly and hopefully, to whatsoever there may be before them. l)o Your Own Repairing.?We think that almost every farmer will agree with us that every farm should have its own workshop, and every cultivator of the land should understand how to use it. lie may not do so when he first enters uy>on farming on coining of age; but after a year or two of what we should call apprenticeship, when he finds that to "know how to do things1' is absolutely indispensable, he will rapidly learn to attend to most of his own repairing of the ordinary implements and machines upon his premises, instead of incurring delay, excuse and uncertainty by depending upon professionals at a distance. Rather than to be without a workshop and the necessary tools, one should be erected expressly for the purpose, in a convenient spot and daily warmed in winter so as to be ready at all times for use, in which many odd jobs can be done also not immediately connected with the farm. All ordinary wooden repairing ought to be done by the farmer and his hands during the rainy days and in winter, when there is plenty of time 011 hand for that purpose. Every part of a wheelbarrow, except the wheel, ought, to be made 011 the premises ; new forks and handles of iron rakes, repairing even some 1 nations of the farm machinery, building of garden and yard fences, repairing roofs, building of corn-cribs, hogqieiis, wagon and cart shelvings, making of the frames of hotbeds, and all the many jobs constantly requiring to be done about a well-conducted place too numerous 10 mem ion. i\. person uucuwus very handy in the use of good tools after a short experience, and saves many a dollar without consuming any time necessary for the usual demands of the farm.?Germantown Telegraph. IIow to Boi l Kick ?Few cooks seem to know how to prepare this article of food properly, so a hint or two will not be out of place here. The rice must be carefully picked over, and then washed in cold water until it is free from all the loose starch which may adhere to it, 01 until the water looks clear.' Then dry it. It can be put in a sieve for this purpose. In placing it over the fire, use three pints of water to a cup of rice and a tablespoonful of salt. The water must be boiling before the rice is added. Boil precisely twelve minutes, and then pour olf the water. Then place the saucepan with the rice on the back part of the stove, where it will keep warm without burning for ten minutes longer, witli the cover partly removed. In this way it is not soggv, or too soft, and every grain is cooked separately by itself. After being cooked, if left covered, it will soften and the grains will burst oi>en in their delicate tenderness. Bedding for Stock.?It is economy to give the horse, cow or other stock?housed through the winter?a good bed. It has much to do with the saving of food and keeping them in thriving condition, to say nothing oi the obligation man is under to provide for the dumb animals over which he is given "dominion. " Litter, for the purpose, can be provided with very little trouble or expense. There is the refuse fodder, straw and other matter, which can be thus utilized and turned into excellent manure. Not only so, but a large amount of the most valuable part of the excrements, which would otherwise be lost, can, by this practice, be saved. Fine sand makes very good bedding, and an excellent dressing for any heavy soil. Sawdust, too, can be very adventageously used for this purj>ose. Indeed, there is no farmer that cannot provide litter of some sort for his stock, and should and will do. so if he understands his business and consults his own interests. Treatment for Ringbone.?Ringbone consists of inflammation of the joint of the foot and deposit of a bony matter just above the coronet and above or below (or both) the pastern joint. In the end the bony matter covers the joint and renders it immovable. The treatment of a newly formed ringbone I consists in giving the animal rest, using a higher or a lower heeled shoe, as the case may | need, as the horse walks on the toe or heel. To reduce the heat and inflammation apply cold water with wet bandages, and when this has been effected, apply a blister made of 20 grains each of corrosive sublimate and camphor, 10 drops of muriatic acid, and 1 ounce of turpentine. AVhen the blister is formed the part is washed and greased with lard. If this is of I ..? l?u rlAiin urifh liPiipfit". P?

One ounce of hypo sulphite of soda may be given daily for two weeks to remove any rheumatic tendency. i^The danger of feeding smutty corn to , live stock is not the greatest evil to be appreI bended from the practice. It is well known that where the da cased corn has been used to any considerable extent the diseases engendered thereby have been very serious to the health of animals, and it is now the time that the farmer should take the precaution to select all the damaged corn from the bulk of the crop and destroy every gram, not only to save their horses and cattle trom the effects which necessarily follow their feeding upon the diseased grain, but also to preserve their lands from being overrun with the pestiential results of replanting. Prof. Bossey, of the Iowa Agricultural College, has given this subject much attention, and conducted experiments which, though not developing the cause of the diseasein corn, yet has found by the successive planting of the grain in the same field that the entire crop in a few years has been entirely ruined. Damp Houses.?Persons who are unfortunate enough to live in damp houses, particularly near undraiued land, are apt to think that there is no help for them save in removal. They are mistaken. Experiments have shown that it is posssible to materially improve the atmosphere in such neighborhoods in a very simple manner?by the planting of the laurel and sunllower. The laurel gives off an abundance of ozone, whilst the "soul-fuleyed1' sunflower is potent in destroying the malarial condition. These two, if planted on the most restricted scale in a garden, close to the house, will be found to speedily increase the dryness and salubrity of the atmosphere, and rheumatism, if it does not entirely become a memory of the past, will be largely alleviated. Sleeplessness.?The Medical Press and Circular contains some good suggestions about the hygienic treatment of sleeplessness, which are summarized as follows: Wet half a towel, apply it to the back of the neck, pressing it upward toward the base of the brain, and fasten the dry half of the towel over so as to prevent the too rapid exhalation. The effect is prompt and charming, cooling the brain, and inducing calmer, sw'eeter sleep than any narcotic. Warm water may be used, though most persons prefer cold. To those who suffer from over-excitement of the brain, whether the result of brain-work or pressing anxiety, this simple remedy has proved an especial boon. ' gliding fur the Jfoktxik. CONDUCTED BT HEV. ROBERT LATHAN. [Original.] CHRISTIANS. The first name which was given to the followers of Jesus Christ, was disciples. This was a very appropriate name, since it means a learner, a pupil, a scholar. Some time after the conversion of Paul the name Christian began to be applied to the followers of the Saviour. We are told that "the disciples were called Christians first, at Antioch." This was probably about forty years after the resurrection of the Saviour. We are not informed how the name originated. Whether it was given to the disciples by divine appointment, or whether the disciples so named themselves, or whether it was given them by their enemies oo q Invm nf mnrnu/tli orormodinna urlii/?li pan not be positively answered. The probability is that they were so called by those who were not disciples. It may be simply to distinguish them from others, or it may have been a term of reproach, lie this as it may, the name was well chosen, and conveys to the mind a definite idea of those to whom it is correctly applied, and hence, may be said to be of divine origin. The suffix ian means pertaining to, or belonging to. Tims the word American means pertaining to America, and the word Baconian denotes pertaining to Bacon. We understand a Newtonian to be one who pertains to Newton, or a follower of Newton. A Christian, then, is, by correct analogy, one who pertains to, or is a follower of Christ. At present, the word is used in a two-fold sense. In its wide and unrestricted sense, it is used to denote all those who live in civilized countries. In this sense, it embraces all the human family, who are neither Jews nor barbarians. In its proper sense, it is limited to those who are, in reality, the followers of Jesus Christ, as distinguished from all others of the Ionian family. All who live in England, Ireland, Scotland and America are called Christians, but they are not all followers of Jesus Christ. They are not all his disciples. They do not learn of him. lie is not claimed by all these people as their teacher. Again, all the members of the visible Church are called Christians ; but all are not true Christians. No doubt, there are in the visible church, many hypocrites ; many who are withA 1 -1 !J-1 X 11 J? 1?,1 out uoit cilia wiiiioui any wen luuuueu nupe. Tliere must be some test by which the true disciple, the real Christian, can be distinguished from the mere nominal professor. This is an important inquiry. How are we to know that we are gold and not dross, wheat and not chaff ? We cannot make this discovery by our bodily senses. We can tell an Irishman by his brogue, a Frenchman by his jestures and an African by the color of his skin, but we cannot thus discover the Christian. It is true that by the walk and conversation of an individual we may have satisfactory evidence that he is a follower of Jesus, but we may be deceived. We cannot see the heart. There are some things which all true Christians believe, and some things that they all do. No matter what may be their nationality, or what their worldly circumstances, or positions in society, there is a wonderful likeness in them all. Their moral and religious features ire very similar. No matter what may be their vernacular dialect, the language of their hearts and consciences is the same. All true Christians believe in the existence of one and of only one living and true God. Their God is not the god of the Deist, but the God that is revealed in creation and providence and in the Bible. In one word, the God of the Christian is the God that is revealed in the Bible. All Christians believe that God made man upright, without sin, or any inclination to sin, but man being left to the freedom of his own will, sinned against God, and became liable to God's wrath and curse, both in this life and that which is to come. All Christians believe that God, out of his own mere good pleasure, and in the exercise of Ilis infinite wisdom, devised a plan by which ,he could, in accordance with the strictest justice, save sinners from the curse of the violated law. All Christians believe the plan of salvation which God devised is plainly revealed in the Scriptures. All Christians believe that there are three persons in the God-head, and that Jesus Christ, the second person of the God-head, is the Saviour, and the only Saviour of sinners. All Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the son of God and that He took upon Himself human nature and so became both God and man?two natures in one person, and as God-man, He obeyed, suffered and died, not merely for the good of sinners, but in the room?in the place?of sinners. All true Christians believe that, in order to be saved, the sinner must, absolutely must, have faith in Jesus Christ, and in Him alone. In addition to the above, all true Christians believe that the sinner is regenerated by the Holy Spirit, and by the Holy Spirit enabled to die daily unto sin, and live a Godly life. In one word, all true Christians believe that the salvation of the sinner, from beginning to end, is all of grace. Grace begins it, grace carries it on, and grace finishes it. In their mode of oYiilninlnfr <sr?mp of these nrimarv or fimda mental principles of Christianity, Christians may differ, but all Christians believe them. There are some things that all Christians do. They all follow Jesus Christ. Tiiey obey Ilim. Obedience lies at the foundation of practical discipleship. Like the Psalmist, true Christians always set the Lord before their face. What lie commands is right, and what He forbids is sin. The effort of their lives is to do as lie did and refrain from doing everything which lie forbids. All true Christians make an honest effort to keep the commandments. This they attempt, not relying upon themselves, but relying upon Divine Grace. Every true Christian feels his weakness, and in all his acts is conscious of his absolute dei>endence upon Jesus Christ for ability, both to think and do. Christians, drawn by the irresistible power of Divine grace, join themselves to the Lord. They come out from the world and place themselves fairly and openly on the Lord's side. Tiie Consolations of God.?Have yon ever seen, or, perhaps, made one of a party of people who are going to explore some dark deep cavern?the Mammoth Cave of Kentucky, or the Catacombs of Home ? They all stand out in the sunlight, and the attendants, who know the journey they are going to make, pass round among them and put into the hand of each a lighted candle, llow useless it seems? how pale and colorless the little flame appears in the gorgeous flood of sunlight! But the procession moves along; one after another enters the dark cavern's mouth; one after another loses the splendor of daylight; in the hands of one after another the feeble candle light comes out bright in the darkness; and by and by they are walking in the dark, holding fast their candles as if they were their very life? totally dependent now upon what seemed so useless half an hour ago. That seems to me' to be a picture of the way in which God's promises of consolation, which we attach very little meaning to at first, come out into beauty and value as we pass on into our lives.? Philips Brooks. The gospel is not fully preached unless it is positively proclaimed that "Whosoever believeth not shall be damned." Jonah was certainly a very successful preacher, and so far as we are informed, he said nothing, but "Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be destroyed." A law without a penalty is worth nothing. The only condition of the covenant is faith?believe and be saved?but God always deals fairly, candidly and honestly with the sinner. Hence he makes it the duty of preachers of the gospel to proclaim in the ears of every one, that whosoever believeth not shall be damned. THE YORKYILLE ENQUIRER. i PROSPECTUS FOR 1882.
