A CONTENTED DARKEY. .
A physician while strolling through the
wooas near Jacksonville, Fla.,. says the
Arkansaw Traveler, heard a peculiar
noise, and lookiDg about him discovered
an old negro sitting on a log, humming a
tune. The physician approached the old
negro, and said:
"You seem to be happy, old man."
"' Wall, sah, I ain't got nuthin' ter 'plain
erbout."
"Do you not know that yellow fever is
raging all around you ?"
"Ought ter know it, sah, when I dun
buried my wife yistidy."
"Then how can you sit around here and
sing?"
"Dis yere is God's worl', ain't it?"
"I suppose so."
"An' 1 b'longs ter God, doan I ?"
"Yes."
"Wall, ef de Lawd puts it in my heart
ter sing, I doan see why I oughter keep
my mouf shet."
"Are you not afraid of taking the fever
?"
"Whut'sde use'n bein' erfeerd? Ef de
Lawd wants me ter take it, I will, an' ef
He doan, I ain't, dat's all; an', 'sides dat,
I ain't gwine ter take it no quicker ef I
singl; I lay you mer go 'roun' dat town
now, an' you'll fin' mos' o' de folks whut's
got de feber didn't sing er tall."
"I don't see," said the amused physician,
"how you can feel disposed to sing when
your wife was buried only yesterday."
"No, sah; caze you didn' know dat
lady like I did."
"Didn't you get along well together?"
"Didn' git erlong tergeder ez well ez we
did erpart, sah."
"What was the trouble?"
"0, wall, sir, I is er Baptis' an' she wuz
one o' deze yere blind Meferdis. She

I doan' see w'y folks wanster take de

"Old man, do you want a job of work ?"
"No, sah, I kain't say I does."
"Isn't your name Reuben White ?"
"Dat's my nomination, sah."
"Didn't I see you some time ago going
around asking for work ?"
"You mout; yes, sah."
"Why did you want work then?"
"Had ter work den ter git suthin' ter

"Well, but don't you have to eat now ?"
"Yes, but I do*n hatter wuck fur it.

A Charming Widow.?Husband and
wife had a little tiff. He buried -his nose
. in a morning paper, while she gazed out
r of the car-window with persistent intentness.
Thus an hour and thirty, minutes
passed. Alady entered the car. Husband
dropped his paper and looked at her admiringly.
"Ah," he said, "that's a fine woman.
And a widow, too. Don't you think she's
handsome ?"
"Yes, rather. You seem to like widows."
"Indeed I do. They're just charming."
Husband evidently thought this would
pique his partner. But it didn't.
"Alfred," said she, tenderly, placing
her hand softly on his arm, "Alfred, I
guessi was in the wrong a little while
ago, when I became angry at you, and I'm
sorry, so sorry. Will you forgive your
little wifey ?"
"Certainly. Don't say another word
about it."
"And will you grant a little request I
have to make of you, hubby, dear ?"
"Of course. Anything that lies in my
power." _
"You say you think widows are charming?",
"Yes$ I did say so, but?"
"Tbeu make me one; that's a good husband
mine. O I shall be so happy!"
Not the Same Fiddle.?The Hon.
Oliver H. Smith relates that he was once
A 1: * " IahaIit nunt of TnHl
iraveiiu^ iiiiuugu a iuucij pan
ana in company with the Governor of the
State. After riding all day they came
after dark to the cabin where they meant
to spend the night.
As we rode up and dismounted, the
sound of a violin saluted us. Entering the
cabin, we saw sitting before the fire a
lame young man by the name of Amos
Dille, with an old violin in his hand,
pcraping away, making anything but music.
He laid the violin on the bed, and
started with our horses toward the stable.
As he closed the door, Governor Whitcomb
took up the instrument, put it in
tune, and when Amos returned was playing
light and beautiful airs. Amos took
his seat by me, seemingly entranced, and
as Mr. Whitcomb struck up "Hail Columbia"
he sprang to his feet.
"If I had fifty dollars," he exclaimed,
"I'd give it every cent for that fiddle! I
never heard such music in my life."
After playing several other tunes, Mr.
Whitcomb put the violin back upon the
bed. Amos seized, it carried it to the fire
where he could see it, turned it over and
over, examined every part of it again and
again, and then called out:
"I say, mister, I never saw two fiddles
look so much alike*as yours and mine!"
^"An Albany lady tells of an abnormally
bright boy in Amsterdam, who
called at the house of an aunt, where he
felt at liberty to do about as he pleased.
There were some beautiful oranges in sight.
The lady had evidently forgotten that
boys are always hungry, and did not offer
him one; perhaps she had forgotten there
were any in the house. The young visitor
concluded that something would have to
be done, and said, "Auntie, please give
me an orange." She told him she hadn't
any oranges, to which he promptly replied,
"You lie!" Frightened to think how it
sounded, he ran home and told his mother,
who immediately sent him back to apologize.
The young man improved matters
by saying, "Auntie, I am very sorry for
what I said to you, but?but, auntie, you
did lie."
|gy A small New Yorker had been
having a day of unmitigated outrageousness,
such as all children who do not die
young are likely to have at times; and
when he was ready for bed his mother
said to him, "When you say your prayers,
Georgie, ask God to make you a better
boy. You have been very naughty to
day." The youngster accordingly put up
his petitions in the usual form, and then
before closing with "Amen" he added :
"And please, God, make me a good boy."
He paused a second, and then, to the utter
consternation of his mother, concluded,
with unabated gravity, "Nevertheless,
not my will, O Lord, but thine be done."
J6T As illustrative of the average negro
character, a gentleman said that an old
negro woman, made application for the
loan of five dollars. He lent her the money,
and, true to her promise, she returned
it. That was several years since, and
every time she has seen him since she
would accost him with the salutation,
"Mr. Blank, you loaned me five dollars,
didn't you?" "Yes." "Well, I paid it !
back, didn't I?" "That you did."!
"Well, don't you think you oughter give
me a quarter?" The gentleman said he i
generally thought so, and that he had re- j
sponded to her calls cheerfully.

THE FARMER'S WIFE.
Up with the birds in the early morning?
The dewdrop glows like a precious gem ;
Beautiful tints in the skies are dawning,
But she's never a moment to look at them.
The men are wanting their breakfast early;
She must not linger, she must not wait;
For words that are sharp and looks that are
surly
Are what men give when meals are late.
Oh ! glorious color the clouds are turning,
If she could but look over the hills and trees !
But here are the dishes, and here is the churning?
Those things must always yield to these.
The world is filled with the wine of beauty,
If she could but pause and drink it in ;
But pleasure she says must wait for dutyNeglected
work is committed sin.
The day grows hot and her hand grows weary ;
Oh! for au hour to cool her head,
Out with the birds in the wind so cheery !
But she must get dinner and bake the bread.
The busy men in the hay-field working,
If they saw her sitting with idle hand,
Would think her lazv and call it shirking,
* mtvko t.hem understand.
illlU OUOLI^TVl V\' ??V
They do not know that the heart within her
Hungers for beauty and things sublime ;
They only know that they want their dinner,
Plenty of it, and just "on time."
And after sweeping and churning and baking,
And dinner dishes are put by,
She sits and sews, though her head is aching,
Till time for supper and chores draws nigh.
Her boys at school must look like others.
She says, as she patches their frocks and hose;
For the world is quick to censure mothers
For the least neglect of children's clothes.
Her husband comes from the field of labor,
He gives uo praise to his weary wife,
Sh8's done no more than has her neighbor;
'Tis the lot of all in country life.
But after the strife and weary tussle
With life is done, and she lies at rest,
The nation's brain and heart and muscle?
Her sons and daughters?shall call her blest.
And I think the sweetest joys of heaven,
The rarest bliss of eternal life,
And the fairest crown of all, will be given
Unto the wayworn farmer's wife.

COLDS-HOW TO CURE THEM.
Medicines will not cure colds. Opening
the skin is important, but the principal
means is a reduction of food. You have
eaten meats twice a day. Eat none for
two or three days if the cold lasts so long.
Use only plain, unstimulating vegetable
food, drink plenty of water on rising and
on lying downj and keep your feet and
legs warm by friction and a frequent
change in your woolen stockings, say twice
a day. This last is important.
That wise physician, Dr. D. A. Gorton,
says: "How much individual health depends
on the sanitary regulations of the
household. The prescriptions of the best
physicians are often insignificant, compared
with the virtues of hygiene; indeed, ignorant
or neglectful parentsaud nurses, and
unwholesme surroundings, frequently defeat
the purpose of the wisest medical ad,"d'"
ronHpp inonprfttive. or worse.
VIOC/lf (*UU AVMVIVk
remedies of undoubted timely virtue. But
more than this, a host of the worst disorders,
by the neglect of wholesome precautions,
are endangered within the household.
A leaky drain, defective ventilation,
or a neglected sink or water-closet,
produce more cholera and typhus than
were ever dispensed by a mysterious providence.
The foul air of a cess-pool is more
to be dreaded than the fumes of the bottomless
pit."
"I knew a whole family of small children,
a few years ago, swept away to the
unknown by an alleged providential dispensation?dysentery.
The location of the
family was unexceptionable, high, dry
and sunny. It was in the month of August;
a dry season. There seemed to be
no reason to impeach the allegation against
Providence, until, walking through a side
yard that had been a favorite resort of the
children, a cess-pool was discovered that
had been obstructed all summer. Verily,
Providence was merciful to that family.
Instead of being charged with the death
of the innocents, he should have been
gratefully thanked for preserving the survivors."?

DARK SWINE PREFERRED. *
Some forty odd years ago, when I first
began to execute orders given me by the
Southern planters, they required, with
rare exceptions, white swine. I told them
the dark colored would prove the most
hardy and thrifty for their hot climate,
the same as negroes over white men. But
I could at first persuade only a few to
adopt my opinion and take Berkshire, Essex
or Neapolitan, in preference to Suffolk,
Prince Albert, Yorkshire, Irish Grazier
and Chester County?these last five being
the popular white pigs of that day. But
my Southern friends soon found that all of
these five were subject to scurf, mange, and
other disagreeable cutaneous diseases,
which the black or dark spotted pigs escaped
entirely, and always wore a healthy,
clean, glossy hide. The planters began to
change their orders, and in the course of a
few years would hardly accept white pigs
from the North, of even the finest breeds,
In mnof nthor nurta nf t.hf?
US <X ^Ul? AU UIV/?JW WIIV? ?W w.
United States a deep prejudice prevailed
against black and dark spotted swine, and
few would*breed them. Pork packers
were especially opposed to them, because,
they said, the skin was dark, and yet this
would generally scrape to white when
the came to dress it.
However, time went on, and as breeders
gradually found out, North, East and
West, the same objection to white swine
which had taken place at the South, they
began rapidly to change the color ot their
stock, arid now few white hogs are found
in the Chicago, or other great markets of
the West, the general run being on the
Berkshire, the Poland China, and Essex.
Indeed so much more favorably are darkcolored
swine considered there, that they
have been gradually breeding out the white
spots of the first two sorts above, and now
they are almost entirely black or very
dark brown, like the Essex and Neapolitan.
All these swine are very thrifty, and mature
early. The Berkshire and Poland
China are especially hardy?can endure
any extreme of climate, from the coldest
to the hottest. The Berkshire is famous
for its larger proportion of tehder, lean,
juicy meat, and is consequently greatly
preferred for smoked hams, shoulders and
bacon. The three othersortscut up choice,
fat pork, whicb is most desirable to salt
and barrel.?[New York Tribune.
Stock Should be Stabled in Winter.?I
think that all kinds of stock
shoud be stabled, and the warmer the stables
are, the better, provided they are well
ventilated. Keeping stock dry and warm
is as important as good feeding. It assists
in keeping the animals healthy, and it
saves food also. If animals are stabled,
they will make manure enough to pay for
feeding and caring for them. Besides,
keepiug stock warm and comfortable is
more humane and consistent with Christian
principles. I think that a man, who
will naif starve and half freeze his animals
all the winter through is very little of a
Christian and a very poor economist.
Stock of all kinds should not only be well
fed and made comfortable, but they should
be well supplied with pure water. If an
animal is worth keeping at all, it is worth
being well fed and cared for. Good feeding
will not only secure a better price for
the animal, but will produce more growth

iUi luc auiuuLi v w* jivvv*
young animals should be fed some grain
or meal, for if a thrifty growth is started
while young, they nearly always keep it;
while if stunted when young, they will
never grow out of it. f. m. ii.
Variety in Meals.?Nothing is more
unsatisfactory than to sit down day after
day to the same bill of fare. There are
houses where the mistress seems to have
no inventive faculty, acquired or innate.
Breakfast consists from Monday until Saturday
of the same fried pork and potatoes,
or sausage and cakes. Remnants of things
come on again and again, growing small
by degrees, till one grows tired of seeing
the dish of apple sauce or the saucer of
prunes, and is tempted to give them to
the dog or pigs. All this can be remedied
by a little pains. Manage your own family
as if you had guests, and vary the
arrangement of your table and the articles
of your diet. Health will be preserved
thus and dyspepsia averted.?[Methodist

THEYORK YILLE ENQUIRER.
The Size of the Paper to he Enlarged.
OTHER IMPROVEMENTS CONTEMPLATED.
Reduction in Price to Clubs.
$100.00 IN PREMIUMS TO CLUB-MAKERS.
Prospectus for 188#.
WITH the opening of the new year, THE
ENQUIRER will be increased in size,
the enlargement of the sheet on which it will
be printed admitting of an additional amount
of matter equivalent to SIX COLUMNS MORE
than is furnished in its present form. With better
facilities than we have ever before possessed,
and desiring to largely increase the circulation
of the paper, we have decided to REDUCE
THE PRICE to yearly SUBSCRIBERS
IN CLUBS, and also of subscriptions for shorter
periods.
The features of THE ENQUIRER, which
have been distinctive for nearly thirty-five
years, will be continued in the future, while
I nonrottMnlimm will ha nrlrlnrl. it hftinc our de
termination to increase and maintain the popularity
of the paper with the masses of the
people, and especially those of York county.
With this idea in view, we shall devote especial
attention to the BUSINESS ADVANTAGES
and NATURAL RESOURCES possessed by
York county?agricultural, mineral and climatic?and
in employing our columns in the
development of these. The completion of an
important line of railroad, traversing the entire
length from east to west of the county, will
add new life and animation all along the line of
its route, while its beneficial effects will be perceptible
throughout the county. It renders
possible the inauguration of new enterprises
and the better development of the hidden
wealth of our county, in the accomplishing of
which THE ENQUI RER, as in the past, will
ever be a ready and cheerful instrument.
OUR PREMIUM PLAN.
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 offer only CASH PREMIUMS
for the five largest clubs as follows:
For the largest club for one year, $35; for the
second largest clubs, $25; for the third largest
club, $15 ; for the fourth largest club, $10; and
for the fifth largest club, $5.
CONDITIONS.
These cash premiums will be awarded on
the following conditions:
To the persons getting up clubs of subscribers
I to the ENQUIRER, at $1.75 per annum for
each subscriber, will be awarded the premiums
as stated above.
The time for completing the clubs under the
above offer is limited to 1 o'clock P. M., on the
SECOND MONDAY OF MARCH, 1880. Competitors
may begin to secure SUBSCRIBERS
AT ONCE?the time of subscription to commence
whenever the name is handed in. The
money for eafch subscriber is expected to be
paid at the time the name is entered upon our
books, and no name will be 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 fail 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
t.hft ENQUIRER one vear freo of charge,
and a copy, one year, of any weekly newspaBer
or monthly magazine published in the
rnited States, the publication to be selected by
the person entitled to receive it. Or, we will
Rive a copy of the ENQUIRER for one year
for a club of ten, and for all names over tjn 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 office. 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 expenso of those sending them.
We will be responsible for the safe transmission
of money only when sent by draft, registered
letter or money order drawn on the Yorkville
post office.
In sending names, write plainly, giving
postoffice, county and State.
All subscriptions will be discontinued at the
expiration of the time paid for.
A separate list will be kept for each clubmaker,
wbo will be credited with every name
sent, so that the number sent by any one person
can be ascertained at a moment's notice.
Persons who commence making clubs will
not be permitted, after the names have been
entered on our books, to transfer the names to
another club-maker's list.
USSr- The time in which additions may be

THE great popularity of these Vehicles have
induced many manufacturers and dealers
throughout the country to try to imitate them

claim that their work is equal to the genuine

We have been deceived by just such
claims ourselves and know whereo'f we speak.
We have handled and repaired all of the different
makes of Vehicles that have boon sold in
this market, and we have never yet found any
that would compare with the genuine COLUMBUS
BUGGY. We do notsay this because we
