"No use to ask if this charge of vagrancy is | true," remarked His Honor, as he surveyed ; the prisoner. "Not a bit of use, Judge ; you know it's false 1" was the ready reply. "What I Do you deny that you are a vag." "Certainly I do 1" "Then what are you ?" "A gentleman and a speculator, sir. If you'll give me a few minutes of your valuable time I'll make the most satisfactory explanations of my present appearance and financial embarrassment." "Well, sir, my name is Guilliarae Epplie. To begin with, no vagrant owned such a name. I am a speculator in grain, bonds, silver, stocks and other things. When I make a strike I dress like a prince and live high. When I lose j. ;i?jep IU alleys uuu cuo my expous>e uiuse. My last speculation was a loss ; therefore I am economizing." "What was your last speculation ?" "Four hundred shares at 818 each, in an invention to hatch fish by steam. My partner ran away with all the funds and left me fiat. In thirty days I shall be on my feet again." "Dow ?" "I am after 100 shares in Union Pacific. They are down to bard-pan and must react. "Give me thirty days and I will be in clover again." "I'll give you sixty," said the court after a pause. "Good ! I am a thousand times obliged. Everything is perfectly satisfactory." "Yes?sixty days in the Workhouse. The showers will be invigorating the earth when you come out." "Tbat was a base trick," said the prisoner, as he fell back ; and when out of ear-shot of the Court he told Bijah that if he lived to serve out his sixty days he would send His Honor an infernal machine and blow him 500 feet high.?Detroit Free Press.

T., was in St. Louis on business, and he remembered that the year before a St. Louis man had been up to Deadwood and left owing a man several hundred dollars, which was to be paid as soon as lie got home. Manning met the man in St. Louis, and he said he would hand him the money the next day, but the day passed and the money did not come, though the man was amply able to pay. So one morning Manning inserted a personal in the newspaper to the effect that if the man who left Deadwood between two days did not pay the-money he forgot to pay, before night, the whole circumstance would be published the next day. The notice was signed "John Manning, Sheriff of Deadwood." Before 9 o'clock a young man called at Manning's and said he had seen the notice and came to pay 8220 he had borrowed to get out of Deadwood. Manning found out who the money was borrowed of, and took it to carry the Deadwood citizen, remarking that he was not the man the Sheriff referred to, but it was a mighty mean sheriff that would not carry money to a friend. The next man to call was the man he wanted, and he paid the money, and apologized, and begged the Sheriff to say nothing about it. During the day seven citizens of St. Louis called on Manning and paid him money for citizens of Deadwood, believing the Sheriff had reference to them in his notice, and after he had gone away another citizen called and asked the clerk for Manning, but he said the otherfellows had been there and paid up, and this man had better keep his money. The Sheriff said he always thought advertising paid, but he had never had it demonstrated to his satisfaction before.?Mihcaukee Sun. A Painful Subject.?Old Jim Walknp has the reputation of being among his friends, rather close. His enemies say he is too mean to die. Not long since an old colored man, Uncle Nace, who had been in the Walknp family all his life, and who refused to leave his old master after the war, died in this city in extreme poverty When the colored delegation went around taking up collections to plant Uncle Nace, they called on old Jim Walkup. That was the first intimation he had of the death of the old family servant, and it nearly killed him. He shed real tears and used the most extravagant language in praising the faithful old Uncle Nace. "How much am you gwine to contribute to ae iunerai expenses ?" asKea tne loreman 01 the assessment committee. "Not a cent," groaned old Walkup, biding his face and shaking all over to conceal his emotion. "If I was to contribute money for such a purpose I would always be haunted with the idea that I helped put him under the ground. It's too painful to talk about. Go way and leave me to my misery."?

Some Ctfen went so far a; to say that the two are incompatible. The farmer who drains his land, or tries a new manure, or a new plan or a new crop, calls himself a practical man; he despises all experiment, and laughs at the teaching of scientific men. He is not conscious that, when he is thinking over new plans and adopting new methods of cultivation, he may be illustrating." in his daily work, a series of chemical and physiological experiments of extreme complexity and iinnortanee. Men of the hichest order of intel lect, and whoso researches were the most original, have been practical men. l'nuiice and theory are" but phases of the same form of thought. The practical farmer, if ho ever permits his mind to rise above the traditions and empirical rules of liis forefathers: and asks, "Couldn't that have been done in a better and more perfect way ? Would not this be an improvement ?" becomes a theorist; and, when he tries to reaiize these conceptions, becomes a practical man. , - v Theory and practice are insuperable in every art, however much men may seek to disunite them. The most practical man is often the most theoretical. Every operation is, with him, a theory. He recognizes no change. He will admit of no trial or experiment, because that would be an acknowledgement of science. Every science is built up of principles, and these principles carried into work we call practice. There is the science of astronomy, and the art of navigation ; the science of geoqaetry, and the art of measuring; the science of mechanics and the art of making machinery ; the science of chemistry and the art of agriculture. Almost every science is the basis of a cognate art. The most obvious and natural way of arriving at a real knowledge of the art of agriculture, would be to know something of these principles on which the art is based; art being nothing more than the application of principles peviously acquired. A farmer who is able to unite a perfect mastery of principles with a knowledge of practical details, is an educated and scientific farmer. It might resonably be inferred that the shortest and easiest method of learning any industrial art, and the surest guide to hew discoveries in the art, would be a knowledge of those fundamental principles upon which the art was based. No amount of practical skill and experience could ever replace the want of scientific knowledge in farming.?Cincinnati Grange Bulletin. ? ?

I am cultivating about fortyfive acres, and although I get fertilizers at a small cost as compared with the price about JEastern cities, yet their cost ui>on the surface thlS season will not be less than $2000. A large share of this amount has already been returned to me, and unless the final result this season belies all present indications the whole amount will come back with at least 50 per cent, added to it. My main reliance is upon the compost heap, stable and barnyard maures and wood ashes. IIow shall they be used to be of the greatest advantage to us V My early teachings were all in favor of plowing them under, and I remember some of tin teachers saying the deeper the better. Nearly twenty years ago I had occasion to break up a pie?e of very heavy sod. Believing in deep plowing, as well as heavy manuring, two yoke of oxen were put to the plow, and it was turned over not less than eight, and most of it over ten inches deep. Upon a portion of it I put some very rich manure, putting it in the bottom of the furrows. It was of course buried very deep; but if my theory of deeply coyering the manure was correct it would be all right, and I should in dut time receive my reward. I watched and waited with a good deal of interest for the result. I am waiting yet, but not watching with any great amount of interest any longer. So fai as any benefit to the sul?sequent crops was concerned I believe the manure might as well have been buried under the Pyramid of Cheops as to have been put where it was. This set me to thinking as well as to studyoiwl ovrtAvimonfiti(y in nthoi* <1iropf.innG The result has been that my system of fertilizing my land has been almost completely revolutionized within the last tenor twelve years. At present my rule is to hrve my compost heaps (which, by the way, are my main reliance) as fine and thoroughly rotted as possible, and then spread upon the top of the ground after plowing and harrow it in. I still plow under some manure, but never so deep as I did years ago. I will not pretend that my present plan is the best for others and under all circumstances, or that I have reached perfection as repards my own land ; but I am certainly receiving much better returns from my manures than I did years ago when they were buried much deeper. When I can find a better method than ray present one I shall not hesitate to adopt it.?J. Jf. Smith, in New York Tribune. Cause of the Decline in IIog Products.?The exi>ort statement shows a marked decrease in the various items of hog products, such as pork, lard and bacon. While this might at first sight only seem to indicate a temporary decrease arising from special causes, wnicn wouui operate oniy ior a snort time, there are not wanting indications that it foreshadows a permanent decline in the foreign demand for these articles. This decline is attributable to various causes. Reports from France, England and Ger- j mady show that there is a marked increase in I the home products of the staples, arising in all .probability from the extreme high prices which American corn and products have commanded. The agricultural returns of England for 1882 show an increase in the whole number of hogs over 1881 of 402,000, and there is good promise of a still further increase in the future. In France the increase in the number of hogs is estimated at 1,000.000, while in Germany it is even greater. These figures should lead our exporters and packers to prepare for a largely decreased export demand for these products. Useful Insects.?The farmer and the farmer's boy need more than any one else to learn to know their friends from their enemies in. the insect world, the lower grade of animal and bird life. Entomology is a science which in its practical application should be taught in all our primary schools. As a rule, if a warfare is made upon insects, it is a blind attack, and our friends and enemies are alike indiscriminately slain. Every farmer boy should know that the toad should be saYed, while he may with impunity slay the snake. Clover as a Preparatory Crop.?"When clover is followed by wheat, a large yield of the latter is one among the certainties, and the farmer should remember that when clover is to be followed by corn and wheat, one succeeding the other, it is best to put the wheat first and the corn second, as the land will re- j turn a larger and surer crop of the two than ] when the clover is followed by corn and then ! by wheat. Making Fence-Posts Last.?A Western farmer says that he has discovered a mode by which the part of fence-posts buried in the ground can be made to last longer than irom Time and weather seem not to affect it. Posts ran be prepared for less than two cents apiece. The recipe is to take boiled linseed oil and stir in it pulverized charcoal to the consistency of cream, and apply a coat of it to the lower half of the post a few days before setting. ? Farmers' Help.?Farmers generally Pay ?ut too much work for the help they employ. The best rule is not to attempt the cultivation of large areas, but to make the land proiuce the largest yield. If one acre of ground can be made to produce fifty bushels of wheat, :hat is far better than to appropriate two, three or four acres in the production of the j same quantities. plovflJIING ^0D Land.?There is no gain in j approve&HiiJs?d *and in ^ie ^lle niost corn which"f&?0 *n cu^ure Indian than' other cropfc ^eater .de?fee of !ieat turning the sod ir) t]}G^spring, allow just enough soil&i ciei, depth to | the seed.

One of the first questions that we ask when we hear of an accident, is "How did it occur ?" Suppose some one informs us that an individual has met with some sad misfortune, we instinctively inquire how and when it happened It is evident that a great calamity has befallen the whole of the human family. Not only so, but everything with which man, in any way, stands connected, lias suffered a very great change. Either this is the case, or man together with everything in any way connected with the world in which he lives, always was exceedingly imperfect or defective. This world is full of misery. The whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain. Every sentient being is the subject of innumerable ills. The beasts of the field, the fowls of the air, and the lish of the sea, suffer pain, and finally die. More than this, the inanimate and senseless earth upon which we tread and out of which grows our bread, is not exempt from woe. It is parched with burning suns, or washed into gullies by torrents of rain. There is something wrong. A terrible calamity has befallen everything within the range of our observation. Things are contrary to each other. This is not a world of peace. Now theqtes tion suggests itself, "How was this brought: about ?M To this important inquiry unassisted reason can give no satisfactory answer. The face stares us in the face at all times, and under all circumstances, but what produced it, or brought it about, reason cannot decipher. To the. Scriptures, and the Scriptures alone, we are indebted for any knowledge we may possess of the sad state of things which exists in our world. If that account is not credible, none other is. If the Bible account of the fall of man is not the correct account, then we save no account of it. Everything about ;tinvolved in inscrutable mystery. It is .1 problem which the finite mind cannot understand, much less satisfactorily explain. According to the Scriptures, all the ruin in which the human family are involved, was brought about by the sin of Adam. Tho language of the Scriptures is, "sin entered into the world by one man, and death by sin." The sin of Adam consisted in eating the fruit of a tree which is called in the Scriptures "The tree of the knowledge of good and evil." It is probable that the tree was so called because of the results which would follow the obedience of Adam, with reference to it. If he was obedient in faithfully refraiuing from eating of its fruit, it would have been to him the tree of the knowledge of good in a higher and fuller sense than he naturally possessed of good ; but if he disobeyed, it would, as the event fully proved, be a tree of the knowledge of evil from actual experience. No matter why the tree was called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, Adam sinned by eating the fruit which it bore. It was thus that he disobeyed the command of God. In other words, Adam, by eating the forbidden fruit broke the law of God. * The inquiry may properly be raised: "What law of God was it that Adam violated by eatincr the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ? Was it the moral law or a positive command ? If it was the moral law, then the sin of Adam was in its nature similar to violating any one of the Ten Commandments. Or to express it differently, if it was the moral law which Adam violated, then the sin which lit committed was forbidden by the holiness of God. Such being the case, Adam would have known without any additional command that it was a sin to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The moral law was written upon his heart when he was created. This law, defaced by the fall, was again given to man and is summarily comprehended in the ten commandments. When first given, it was written on man s heart; when repeated, it was written on tables of stone. Its requirements and prohibitions spring spontaneously from the holiness of God. Such was not the case with regard to eating the* fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. It was a si i because it was a violation of a positive command of God. This command did not spring spontaneously from the holiness of God, but from his sovereign will. Had the eating of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil heen a violation of the moral law, Adam would have known intuitively that it was a sin. ^This he did not know only from the command of God. Adam under the moral law, was simply a servant placed under the positive law which forbid him to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. It was designed by God to raise him to the position of a son. The history of the preliminary events which led to the fall is very brief, but still very minute. The command not to eat of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil seems to have been given prior to the actual creation of Eve. In fact, Eve was created in Adam, and before she had an individual personal existence, we are told, that ' God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Unless we conclude that the inspired writer made a grammatical blunder there is no other way to explain the plural pronoun "them," except by saying that Adam included Eve or that Eve was represented in Adam. After the creation of Eve, it is certain that she learned that the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil was forbidden. This she learned, not directly from God, nor did she know it from the law of God which was written upon her heart, but from Adam. It is admitted that we are not informed in so many words how Eve became apprized of the prohibition, but we are warranted in concluding that God only dealt with Eve through Adam. Eve sustained to Adara the relation of a "help meet for him." In ad dition to this she was bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh. Eve was as near Adam as it was possible for her to be, and for her Adam cherished unadulterated love. The serpent seems to have had a knowledge of all these facts and relations. He made his attack upon the woman and not upon the man. The management of the diabolical work was cunningly conducted. Apparently, Adam and Eve were permitted to be separated. At least the attack was made ui>on Eve alone. The J question was asked her if it were true that i (rod had forbidden them to eat of "every tree I in the garden ?" Eve replied that this was \ not true. They were permitted to eat of the j fruit of all trees m tne garaen except one. This tree, she said, God hath said, "Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it lest ye die." To this the serpent replied : "Ye shall not surely die." On the contrary, the serpent insisted, that by eating of the fruit of this tree, "Ye shall become as gods knowing good and evil." . 1 The impression which the serpent designed to make upon the mind of Eve was, that the restriction which God had placed upon them was unjust and unreasonable. Unfortunately he was successful. Eve saw the tree that it j was good for food, that it was pleasant to the ( eyes, and above all, tlrat it was to be desired., because it would make one wise. Laboring under a moral and mental delusion she plucked and ate, and having eaten she gave to her hus band and he did eat. Up to the moment of j Adam's eating, Eve seems not to have expe- j < rienced any compunctions of conscience or j' visible "disapprobation of God. The moment' j Adam eat both experienced a fearful change. I Remorse, regret and shame seteed updfc them, J and they felt that all was lost. The reason that Eve was not sensible of any I change produced by eating the fruit of the tree j of the knowledge of good and evil was, be-1 cause the positive command not to eat of it! was not given to her, directly, but to Adam, ! her husband, by whom she was represented, j Had Adam refused to eat of the forbidden j fruit, although Eve had eaten of it, the fearful j consequences which have followed that deed, j would not have taken place. On the contrary, j had Adam eaten of tlie forbidden fruit, and j Eve had not, Eve would have suffered the ! common ruin. The reason is plain. Eve did not represent Adam, but Adam did represent Eve. It is probable that had the serpent made a direct attack upon Adam, and undertook to persuade him to violate the moral law he would have failed. This he did not. He first approached Eve and asked a question which embodied a positive falsehood. He then declared that the positive law, under which the human pair were placed, was unreasonable. In a practical point of view, it may bo said that the undoing of the human family began when Eve suffered herself to enter into a par- j ley with the serpent. It is true yet, and ever will be true, that there is ruin ahead when we begin to parley with the old serpent. If there is any weak point he will find it, and deluded by what he presents as good, we will find ourselves plunged in the depths ol' ruin. YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. PROSPEC T!
