Allen, who was then Governor of Louisiana, describes the dependence of the people upon him. and his unceasing efforts to keep them from starvation. A friend stepped into Allen's office at Shreveport, and found the governor seated before the fire, between two countrywomen?soldiers' mothers?all three taking a comfortable smoke with their pipes. Allen was too courteous a gentleman not to conform immediately to the custom of "ladies." So, as he rather enjoyed a pipe, he would join them very socially. His companions had a triple claim upon him?they were women, soldiers' mothers and Louisianians. "Well, governor," said one of his callers, "we come to bother you again ; you are such a friend to us poor women. Now, governor, we got the corn you sent us, but we ain't got no hoes and no plows to plant with." The governor took his pipe from his mouth, and turning to his secretary said: "Mr. Halsey, give these ladies an order for a plough and two hoes, free of charge." "But, governor," they continued, "we want some ineal and some meat and some sugar anu some molasses." "Mr. Halsey, give the order for these articles." The women received theorders, knocked the ashes from their pipes, shook hands with Allen, and started out of the door; but halting at the door said: "Well, governor, we hate to bother you so much. You are the best man alive. We are all going to name our next grandchildren after you; but we forgot, we want a well-rope and a?pig. "Ladies," said the governor, kindly, but with a perceptible smile curling round the corners of his mouth, "you shall have the well-rope, but at present we are out of pigs." WHY HE GAVE,UP TUE LAW. VSenatdr Cullom tells a good story?and ttdt being given to practice law much himself, I suppose he can afford to do so? of a prosperous storekeeper in a small Illinois town, the name of which has escaped me, who once practised law, but who has long since abandoned it. Being met by an old acquaintance, he was asked for all the particulars of his giving up the profession. "Didn't it agree with your health?" "0 yes," answered "Uncle Joe," as he was familiarly called by his friends. "Didn't it pay ?" "First-rate." "Meet with sufficient favor from the courts?" "All 1 could ask." "Then what was it compelled you to U OJ9 "Well, I'll tell you?I was too honest." A loud laugh from the bystanders aroused "Uncle Joe" into earnestness, and he repeated the strange statement, and nailed it to his shop-counter with his huge fist. But his cross questioner went on: "When did you find this out?" "In my very last case." "What was that?" "One in which I was retained to prosecute a neighbor for killing a dog." "And he was acquitted? So you lost the case, and gave up your profession discouraged?" "Xo, he was convicted." "Then he was guilty?" "Xo, he was innocent." "But didn't the evidence prove his guilt?" "Certainly it did." "Then why do you say he was innocent?" "Because I had killed the dog myself a few nights before for trespassing on my poultry, and I came to the conclusion that any business thar would aid a man to convict a neighbor of his own crimes wasn't the business for me, so I gave it up."? [X. Y. Tribune. Mixed.?Some people have such an unhappy facility of expression, combined with slipshod methods of thought, that they are likely to indulge in speech which it would "puzzle a Dutchman" to translate. The "The History of Weare, Xew Hampshire," refers to a loquacious townswoman who reversed the old maxim, and "went ahead" with out being sure she was right. One of her stories was to the effect that her husband sowed some flax, which came up and grew, until the frost struck it, and blighted every spear. Then the worms took it, and ate it all up; then the drought took it, and killed it all, and when they came to pull it they didn't have half a crop. After that they rotted it and her husband done out some of it, and it was'n't good for nothing. Then they let it lay a year, and it was the best flttx she ever see. She used some of it to ma^e cloth for her husband'sshirts. "it was cotton linen cloth. It was tow warp, and the warp was filling, and the blue was yaller, and it was dyed in huckleberry, and was thick as the table. It wore splendidly, and my husband liked the shirts so well that he wore them all out in a fortnight I" * A Collapsed Duuggist.--"I want some consecrated lye," he slowly announced, as he entered the store. "You mean concentrated lye," suggested the druggist, as he repressed a smile. "Well, may be I do. It does nutmeg any difference. It's what I camphor, anyhow. What does it sulphur ?" "Eighteen cents a can." "Then you can give me a can." "I never cinnamon who thought himself so witty as you do," said the druggist, in a gingerly manner, feeling called to do a little punning himself. "Well, that's not bad, ether," laughed the customer, with a syruptitious glance. "Iammouia novice at the business, though I've soda good many puns that other punsters reaped the credit of. However, I don't care a copperas far as I am concerned, though they ought to be handled with clove stiil they wouldn't know what was the madder with them. Perhaps I should not myrrh myrrh. We have had a pleasant time, and I shall caraway?" But it was too much for the druggist. He collapsed. fifey- Two good-natured country-women came from theadjacent farms into a Western town to do a bit of shopping, and were attracted by the sign of a female M. I), who had recently come from the Bust to try her chances in the great West. The country-women knocked at the door, which was promptly answered, and they were ushered into the presence of the young M. 1>. They said to the doctor, "Have you any shapes?" The doctor looked puzzled, but at once recovered herself, as she supposed they ment an articulated skeleton, which she at once produced. The country-women were horrified. "Mo, no! we saw your sign, Miss Mary , i M. 1).?Milliner and Dressmaker?and we thought, of course, you laid shapes for bonnets." The country-women were amazed at the explanation that M.

It is undeniably true that the energetic, | driving farmer, who follows the business in view of making money, involves an i outlay of much hard labor and energy of j mind. With this fact in view, and the | numerous trials and perplexities which i always occur to the farmer during the very j busy seasons, and the fact that the hardest i and most important work of the year ! comes during hot weather, when labor | and exertion are most unpleasant, and j when those who follow other callings have i comparative leisure?it is not surprising j that many farmers become discontented, and sometimes discouraged. A certain amount of discontent seems to be a law of human nature. People of all callings look with envy upon those who follow other kinds of business, and how- j ever well a person may be situated, he is : likely to imagine that others have a better j lot in life: It is not surprising, then, to j fiud farmers looking enviously upon lawyers, merchants, or those who follow other callings which demand less exertion of body and mind. But there is a bright side of farming which every farmer ought to recognize, < and which more than balances its unpleas- j ant features. While it is true that much j, farm work is laborious and unpleasant, it ; , is also true that farmers may enjoy ample time for rest, and without financial loss. The work of the farm requires more mus- < /i.Oow ovoftinn than that of the shOD or I VUiai VAV? vivta ...... desk, but it is less confining and monoto- , nous. The clerk, book-keeper and me- , chanic work more hours a day, and are more closely confined than the average ' farm hand, whose work is in the open air '< and who has his evenings for himself. The winter months, with their longevenings, afford to the farmer comparative leis- : ure and ample time for recreation, amusement and intellectual culture. They afford opportunity for reading and study, 1 and for laying plans for future work and I improvement. ! The luscious fruits, fresh vegetables, pure, rich milk and golden butter, which i are looked upon by the wealthy residents < of cities as luxuries, come to the farmer directly from nature and at little expense. The same articles are bought by city people at extravagant prices, after they have lost their freshness and most desirable aualities. It is unfortunate that farmers o not, as a rule, better appreciate nature's gifts. The farmer deals directly with na- I ture, and the blessings which he should appreciate and enjoy, more than counteract the difficulties ana disappointments which fall in his path. There is no reason why farmers may not lead happy lives. Ambition, if carried too far, becomes a misfortune, and excludes contentment and enjoyment. But with an aim to live and to enjoy, rather , than to accumulate fortunes, there is no , calling better adapted to comfort, contentment and real happiness than agriculture. [Country Gentleman. A REMARKABLE HITTER COW. Since testing the butter capacity of thor- I oughbred dairy cattle has been adopted for the guidance of breeders, some yields were obtained that were so extraordinary as to excite incredulity until the tests were repeated under the supervision of responsible, disinterested committees, placing their truthfulness beyond cavil. The Herald has published several of the most remarkable of these during the past two years. Another has occurred which surpasses any , - - - - ? - 1 " H yield hitherto reported ior me periuu ui three months. The cow in question is the , registered Jersey, Mary Anne of St. Lamberts, 9,770, the property of Mr. Valancey , E. Fuller, of Hamilton (Ont.), Canada. She was four years old in March last, and dropped the third calf in May, soon after , which the test began. During the first thirty-one days she gave 100 lbs. 12 oz. of well-worked unsalted butter, which after being salted one ounce to the pound and ready for the table, weighed 100 lbs. 124 oz. ' The third week of this test was conducted ; under the supervision and control of a ; committee appointed by the Canadian Jersey Breeders' Association. The week's ; result was 23 lbs. 3 oz. unsalted butter, , which weighed, after the salt was added, 24 lbs. 13 oz. The second thirty-one days J gave 97 lbs. 8 oz. unsalted, or 102 lbs. G oz. salted butter, and the third thirty-one days ! 98 lbs. 44 oz. unsalted, or 102 lbs. 10} oz. ; salted. The aggregate for ninety-three days is therefore 296 lbs. 8* oz. of unsalted butter, which when completed, weighed 311 lbs. 13 oz. During the test the cow had no other food than grass and five 1 quarts of ground oats per day. She is much imbred through her sire's family to the celebrated English bred Jersey bull Dauncey's Rioter, one of whose sons was the sire of Mr. A. B. Darling's remarkable butter cow Eurotas, 7,828, that gave by actual test 778 pounds of butter in one year, producing also a calf.?fN. Y. Herald. IIow to Make Hens Lay.?People would better understand this matter if they consider for a moment a hen to be, as she is, a small steam engine, with an egg- 1 laying attachment, and that there must be a constant supply of good feed and pure water to keep the engine and its attachment up to its work. In addition to keeping before hens that have complete liberty a constant supply of water, summer and : A"- * * 11 Ba (am a rl f hof rl nrinrr tho 1 Wllliei'i XL Will UC IUUUU UlHb UUilug i*iv cool and cold weather of fall, winter and spring, a dough compounded as follows, fed one day, then intermitted for two days, 1 produces excellent results: To three gallons of boiling water add one-half an ounce of common salt, a teaspoonful of ' cayenne pepper and four ounces of lard. { Stir the mixture until the pepper has im- I parted considerable of its strength to the 1 water. Meantime the salt will have been 1 dissolved and the lard melted. Then, 1 while yet boiling hot, stir in a meal made 1 of oats and corn ground together in equal 1 proportions, until a thick mush is formed. This is an excellent food for the purposes intended?to make hens lay in cool i weather. i Products of One Acre.?A farmer 1 living in Maine makesastateinent of what ( he has raised this year on one acre of land, 1 almost enough, we should think, to Support ( a family. He planted one-third of his acre in corn, and he usually produces thir- ! ty bushels of good corn. This quantity 1 was sufficient for his family use, and for 1 fattening two or three large hogs. From I the same ground on which the corn stood, 1 he raised two or three hundred pumpkins, and an ample supply of beans. From a < bed of six rods square he usually obtains < sixty bushels of onions ; these he sold for < one dollar per bushel, which amount pur- I chased his Hour for one year. Thus, from ] one-third of an acre and an onion bed he I obtained his breadstuffs and two or three 1 hundred pounds of pork. The remainder of the ground was appropriated to all kinds of vegetables, for both summer and * winter use. He also had a flower garden, i raspberries, currants, gooseberries in great i abundance, and also a few choice fruit i trees. j | The following is the new remedy for J burns, which was tested before a medical i society; one of their number pouring i vrutor nn hU wrist to create a burn ' """"'ft to cure! Moisten enough cooking soda I und spread it on the burn. Put a wet 1 L'lotii over it, and a dry one over that, t Renew as often as desired.

If the burn should be bare of skin, J it may be better to apply a soft, thin cloth i dipped in a strong solution of soda, and 1 renew often, always placing a dry cloth J above. 1 Staggers are the result of congestion of the brain, due to over feeding. Pigs are | more often overfed than any other animals, i { and it is the source of nearly all the dis- | J eases to which they are subject. It affects i ( the nerve centres in the brain and spinal j c cord. Give the pigs no feed at ail for for- 1 ty-eight hours, but only water, and then ? begin feeding very lightly, and give the j food in a shallow trough, so that it can be ; } taken up only slowly. x ] Save the soot that falls from the ^ chimneys.

Wo haven cradle in the liouso, And we have something in it; A freakish, wayward, winsome bairn, Not bigger than a minute. Although no diadem ho wears But his ringlets soft and brown, His every smile and frown we heed, As if ho wore a crown. No scepter in his hand ho holds, But then his pinky list so small, He, like a royal monarch, wields, And wo are humble subjects all. And when his tiny foot he stamps If aught, caprice or whim, displeaso, The brightest gift in babydoni Wo bring him to appease. And when he wills to close his eyes, We go on tiptoe through the house; Even papa'8 heavy-booted foot Kalis softly as a mouse. We have it desnot on the throne. Reclining like a kinglet, For we have a cradle in our house, And we have something in it. "AITLES (IK I'M IIS ?" It costs something, now ami then, to be courteous. Yet a gentleman will not hesitate to pay the price. Several years ago three young men, just graduated from college, went on a hunting tour through West Virginia, seeking sport and health. Dne day they stopped at a farmer's house to take dinner. They were cordially welcomed by the good man and his wife, whose table was bountifully spread. At the close of the meal a basket of apples and pears was placed on the table. "Mr. Ames, will you take apples or p'ars?" asked the fanner's wife, addressing one of the youug men. The young man was perplexed. lie wanted pears. "But," he said to himself, "if I say pears, I may mortify my hostess by seeming to correct her pronunciation. Should I say p'ars, the boys would laugh." "An apple, if you please," he answered, denying himself that he might be courteous. A similar question was put to Mr. Childs, who also concluded to deny his appetite for the sake of courtesy, and take an apple. Mr. Smith, the third student had made up his mind that he would take a pear. When the lady asked, "Mr. Smith, will you take apples or p'ars?" he answered, as courteously as if addressing a duchess: "Thank vnu. madam. I'll take n'ars." Two beautiful pears were passed to him, somewhat to the chagrin of his companions, who ate their unrelished apples in silence. As they were leaving the house the kind-hearted matron gave to Ames and Childs several apples, but to Smith three or four pears. The young men hastened to get out of sight that they might divide the spoils and enjoy a laugh over the self-denial their courtesy caused them. "Boys," said Ames, "I wouldn't have mortified the old lady for a basketful of pears." "Nor 1 have said 'pears,' " remarked Smith. "There's a timeand place for everything ; but the dinner-table is not the place to correct your hostess' pronunciation."?[Youth's Companion. + I Wish I Was a Christian.?"No, I think I am no nearer being a Christian than when I saw you a month ago." "But, why not?" , "Oh! I don't know ; hut I do wish I was a Christian." "So you said a month ago. So you said a year ago." "Yes. I cannot remember when 1 did not wish this." "Does your wishing do you any good ?" "Why, yes. One ought to wish so, I think." "You remind me of a boy I once knew, lie was in my class in Sunday-school. When he was sixteen or seventeen he became a Christian. He once said to me: 4I have been the most foolish boy you ever saw. Ever since I can remember I have wished to be a Christian. When I was a little fellow I never broke a wish-bone, but my wish was that I might be a Christian. I never told any one of this, but it Jidn't seem to help me any. I might have broken all the wishbones in creation and not moved a step forward. I found wishing either with or without a wish-bone did no good, and that all the way to be a Christian was to say and mean 1 will and not I wish. I'll go to Jesus; not I wish I was there. When I came to this decision, and acted on the light I had, I found 1 was there.' " "Are you not, my friend, acting as did this young lad with his wish-bone?" "I never saw it in that light before. Yes, it is cowardice or laziness that keeps me back. I'll go, and not wish I was there." Tttp \Vtsdom ok Words.?Too often the "wisdom of words" explains the gospel away. 11 is possible to retine a doctrine till the very soul of it is gone; you may draw such nice distinctions that the true meaning is filtered away. Certain divines tell us that they must adapt the truth to the advance of the age, which means that they must murder it and liing its dead body to the dogs. It is asserted that the advanced philosophy of the nineteenth century requires a progressive theology to keep abreast of it; which simply means that a popular lie shall take the place of an offensive truth. Under pretense of winning the cultured intellects of the age, "the wisdom of words," has gradually landed us in a denial of those first principles for which the martyrs died. Apologies for the gospel, in which the essence of it is conceded to the unbeliever, are worse than infidelity. I hate that defense of the gospel which razes it to the ground to preserve it fiora destruction.?[C. H. Spur?eon. Christian Duties.?If you come to us and say you are a praying man, we inswer we are glad ; but we would like to isk your wife and children what your praying is doing for you ? If you say you laily read the Hible, that is right; but let us ask your partner in business how much if its teachings you practice? If you say fou are a member of the church, we are *lad of that, if you area worthy member; if lot?we arc sorry for the church, Put let js go on to the street to see whether the people you daily meet think you ought to :>e a church-member. So it comes to pass that a bundle of Jhristian duties may be dry and useless, ir they maybe the evidence of a sincere Christian life. Whether a man is a Chrisdan or not, depends entirely upon the principles which gpvern his daily life, and he harvest the world is gathering from diat life.?[Golden Ilule. A Scripture Puzzle.?A young Pible itudeht was asked, "IIow many boys are :here in your class?" He replied: "If rou multiply the number of Jacob's sons jy the number of times which the Israeltes compassed Jericho, and add to the iroduct the number of measures of barley lloaz gave to Jtuth, divide this by the lumber of Hainan's sons, subtract the lumber of each kind of clean beasts that vent into the ark, multiply by the numrtf muii (lull uvmf fn si'i'k Kliiiih after le was taken to heaven, subtract from ;his Joseph's age at the time lie stood be'ore Pharoah, add the number of stones n David's ha# when lie killed Goliath, subtract the number of furlongs that Bethtny was distant from Jerusalem, divide )y the numbers of anchors, cast out when I'aul was shipwrecked, subtract the numier of people saved in the ark, and the renainder will be the answer." What a Mistakk.?A young man once licked up a sovereign lying in the road. Kver afterwards as he walked he kept his lyes steadily fixed on the ground in hope if finding another. And in the course of a ong life he did pickup, at dillereuttimes, ! i good amount of gold and silver. All these days, however, he saw not that leaven was bright above him and nature : vas beautiful around. He never once i ifted his eyes from the mud and filth in j vhich he sought the treasure, and when j le died a rich old man he only knew this j air earth of ours as a dirty road in which j o pick up money as you walk along.

Recognizing the fact that it is frequently the case that the premiums we have heretofore offered for the largest clubs are. not suited to the wants of those to whom they are awarded, we have decided to oiler only CASH PREMIUMS for the five largest clubs as follows: For the largest club for one year, ?.'5f>; for the second largest clubs, ?2">; for the third largest club, Slf?; for the fourth largest club, ?10; and for tlie fifth largest club, ?f>. C OTOTDITIOKTS. These cash premiums will be awarded on the following conditions: To the persons getting up clubs of subscribers to the ENQUIRER, at ?1.7f> per annum for each subscriber, will be awarded the premiums as stated above. The time for completing the clubs under the above olfer is limited to 1 o'clock P. M., on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1889. Competitors may begin to secure SUBSCRIBERS AT ONCE?the time of subscription to commence whenever the name is handed in. The money for each subscriber is expected to be paid at the time the name is entered upon our books, and no name will bo counted in competition for a premium and no premium delivered until the subscription price has been paid. To persons who make up clubs of ten or more names, but who may lail to obtain one of the above premiums, we will send the ENQUIRER for one year free of charge, and to those who send a club of twenty or more names, but who may fail to get a premium, we will forward the' ENQUIRER one year free of charge, and a copy, one year, of any weekly newspaper or monthly magazine published in the United States, the publication to be selected by the person entitled to receive it. Or, we will give a copy of the ENQUIRER for one year for a club of ten, and for all names over ten in such clubs, TWENTY CENTS for each name. It is not necessary that the names of a club should all be at the same post otliee. Names may be taken at any number of places. One name for two years will be equivalent to two names for one year each. All subscriptions must be forwarded to us at the expense of those sending them. We will be responsible for the safe transmission of money only when sent by draft, registered letter or money or^er drawn on the Yorkville post office. In sending names, write plainly, giving postofliee, county and State. All subscriptions will be discontinued at the expiration of the time paid for. A separate list will lie kept for each clubmaker, who will bo credited with every name sent, so that the number sent by any one person can bo ascertained at a moment's notice. Persons who commence making clubs will not bo permitted, after the names have been entered on our books, to transfer the names to another club-maker's list. The time in which additions may be made to clubs under this proposition, will expire on the SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1SWI.
