"W'y.dar ain't enuflf honesty in dis yer 'mnnity ter suit me." "It's not a policeman's duty to look for honesty, but for dishonesty. If everybody were honest we might as well disband the force." "Yas, sah, dat's so, butstill I do like ter see er man make some little attempt ter be honorable. Fer instence, my 'sperience last night. I wa'n't treated p'litely den, I ken tell you dat right now." "How were you treated ?" "Shameful, sah. I wuz on duty out yonder in de park, close ter de little lake * * % ? L?..... fit" T\ 1 lOCAn wnere li'ssicu a uvttvy uuc iui o to fish in.

"Den he shifted his tactics. 'Look yere, podner,' says he, 'I'll gin you five dollars ef you'll let me off dis time.' Dat made methink er little. 'I kin,' thinks I, 'make five dollars fur de city, an' keep down er scan'l' at de same time.' " 'Giromy de money,' says I: "'Here,' he said, handin' me er bill. It's ten^-give me five.' I jest had five dollars in my pocket an' I gin it t6 him an' he didn't lose no timeinhustlin' erway from dar.

A certain evangelist in Western Virginia organized a Sunday-school, and by dint of diplomacy obtained a goodly following of youngsters into whose uncombed heads and pliant hearts he instilled the rudiments of religion. Neither did he spare the corrective rod in case his charges failed to come to time with the - catechism. J,,.. ? t?tto /-?5cj/iAtmr. UUC ouuua) a ucvr ainvai wao uiowycied over in the boys' corner. He was called down before the teacher and crossexamined with a view to learning his religious acquirements. "How many gods are there?" inquired the teacher. The boy thought a moment, and ventured the assertion that there were two. "Wrong!" said the teacher. "Three!" "O you must know better than that! Try again. How many gods are there?" "Four!" whimpered the boy. "Wrongagain!" shouted the instructor. "I will give you one tnore chance. If you don't answer right this time I'll tan you. Now, for the last time, how many gods are there ?" "Five !" wailed the unhappy tow-head. Smack! The teacher gave a thorough dressing down, and sent him from tne room in disgrace. A belated scholar found him sitting by the roadside howling at the top of his voice. "What's the matter, Jack?" "Teacher licked me." "What for?" " 'Cause I didn't know how many gods there were." "Huh! that's easy enough." 44D' you know ?" "Course." "How many are there?" "One, you stupid." "One, eh! Well, you just go in there with your little one god and you'll catch it. I 'lowed there was five, and he nigh killed me." Didn't Seem to Take.?-One day when living at Beaufort, S. C., said a gentleman, tne young coiorea nurse in my mmiiy came in with a terribly lugubrious face. Around her head was wound a white cloth, which extended fully two feet above. "What on earth is the matter, Tilly?" said my wife. "O I'se a-seekin'." "What are you seeking?" "I seekin' 'ligion." "Do you have to wear that when you are seeking religion ?" "O yes, miss. I has to wear that to mortify the flesh." That afternoon she came to her mistress and said: "I cyarn't tek keer de chill'n dis arfternoon. I'se got to go to de woods and wrassle wid de sperut." She " wrassled" for four days, and finally came back with a beaming countenance, and with the cloth taken from her head. She had found Jesus, and had been baptized. "Tilly," I said, "do you have to go through that performance every time you get religion?" "Yes, Marse Thompson." "How many times have you been baptized in the course of your life?" " 'Bout 'leb'n times." An Aggrieved Passenger.?"Will you kindly allow me to stand?" asked a gentleman, as he got into an English railway carriage, which carriage already contained the specified number. "Certainly not, sirexciaimea a passenger occupying a corner seat, near the door; "the way these trains are overcrowded is shameful!" "As you appear to be the only person who objects to my presence," replied the gentleman, "I shall remain where I am." "Then I shall call the guard and have you removed, sir." Suiting the action to the word, the aggrieved passenger rose, and putting his head out of the window, vociferously summoned the ?uard. The new-comer saw his opportunity, and quietly slipped into the corner seat. "What's up?" inquired the guard, as he opened the carriage door. "One over the number," replied the new-comer, coolly. "You must come out, sir; the train's going on and without waiting for further explanation, the guard pulled out the aggrieved passenger, who was left wildly gesticulating on the platform. A friend of thaLewiston Journal was visiting in the family of a well-known Maine man not long ago. A lovely flaxen-haired child of six years, the pet of the family, attempted to open a door, which stuck. She pulled and pulled, but could not move it. "D?n it!" they were astonished to hear her say, as she gave a supreme tug,and the door yielded. "Why, what do you mean, Maud?" exclaimed the horrified mamma. "That's the way papaopens it," said Maud, innocently. f@r?In astreet car, seated directly opposite a lady and her innocent appearing son of about six years, sat a man with a glass eye. The youngster had been gazing intently on his victim for some time. All at once he appeared very uneasy, when, to the great amusement of the passengers, he exclaimed, "Say, mister, why don't you wink at ma with the other eye, too?"?[Life.

Ample experience has demonstrated that most of our cultivated plants are very flexible in their nature and susceptible of much improvement. Cultivated plants, with scarcely an exception, are decided improvements on the wild or native progenitors. Such improvement is the result of their being fed better, of their being relieved from competition with other plants, and from a continuous and more or less careful selection of seed?and in some cases from judicious hybridizing. At present we propose to say a few words about feeding and selection only. The valuable part of most cultivated plants is their seed, and the seed requires for its development some elements of the soil which are at least abundant. Plants that produce seed of little economic value, or in small quantity, grow well on poor worn out soils. Such are most of our troublesome weeds. But cultivated plants that produce good crops of valuable seeds must have good rich soils. Therefore, prolific habit cau neither be acquired nor kept up by a plant on a poor soil. The first thing, therefore, for a farmer to do, who is desirous of improving the seed of any plant, is to have a rich plot upon which to grow it. We will return to this point further ou. The next factor is the judicious selection of seed. Attention is called to this matter now, because the present is a good time to make selection of seed of several of our leading crops. A farmer who has not heretofore begun this good work, should now go over his cotton fields and scan them closely for stalks having such peculiarities as he would like to see. Before doing so, he should determine clearly in his own mind an ideal stalk ; that is, one having such characteristics as he desires. First, as to habit of growth; whether short or long-limbed, with comparatively few large bolls, or with many smaller ones; with bolls which open wide, and from which seed cotton comes out easily, or with some difficulty ; with long ofnnla ooollw finnnOfl nr crinnpd VI OIil/l t oiapxt j vwuii j v. B>> ? ? with more difficulty, with greater or less ratio of lint to seed, etc., etc. These and other points should be clearly fixed iu his mind, and seed gathered from stalks which come nearest up to his ideal. His type of standard should be fixed and kept constantly in view year after year. Nothing valuable will be accomplished by changing from one type to another, pursuing no well defined aim or end. Perhaps in going over his crop the first time a very few stalks may be found approaching his ideal. Gather seeds from the perfected bolls of theseonly, and the next year plant them by themselves on the rich plot mentioned before. Such plot should be at least two hundred yards from any other cotton field to avoid any crossibg of the selected cotton with any other. Selections should ever afterwards be made from these plots instead of from the general crop. Following such plan with care and judgment there is scarcely a limit to the improvement that can be reached. A gentleman from Mississippi recently sent us a sample of upland cotton rivaling sea island in length and fineness of staple, which had been brought to its present state by a few years selection from a single stock he had observed, as having some desirable peculiarities, in a field of ordinary cotton. What has been said of cotton applies to some extent to corn and other crops, and the present is the time to select seed corn. It should be gathered from the field, where one has had an opportunity to examine the whole plant, stalk as well as ears. A rather low stalk with ear formed not too high up is, other things being equal, a desirable type to develop. Some may prefer stalks with a single ear; others a many eared variety. But whatever type is chosen stick to that.?[W. L. J., in Atlanta Constitution. TEACH YOUR BOYS. To run. To swim. To carve. To be neat. To be honest. To make a fire. To be punctual. To sew a button.

A father, talking to his careless daughter, said: "I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you have noticed a careworn look upon her face. Of course, it has not been brought there by any act of yours; still it is your duty to chase it away. I want you to get up to-morrow morning anH not hroob-fuat anrl a'Jinn \rniir mnthpr comes and begins to express her surprise, go right up to her and kiss her on the mouth. You can't imagine how it will brighten her dear face. "Besides, you owe her a kiss or two. Away back, when you were a little girl, she kissed you when no one else was tempted by your fever-tainted breath and swollen face. You were not as attractive then as you are now. And through those years of childish sunshine and shadows she was always ready to cure, by the magic of a mother's kiss, the little, dirty, chubby hands, whenever they were injured in those first skirmishes with the rough old world. "And then the midnight kisses with which she routed so many bad dreams, as she leaned above your restless pillow, have all been on interest these long, long years. "Of course, she is not so pretty and kissable as you are ; but if you had done your share of the work during the last ten years, the contrast would not be so marked. "Her face has more wrinkles than yours, and yet, if you were sick, that face would appear far more beautiful than an angel's as it hovered over you, watching every opportunity to minister to your comfort, and every one of those wrinkles would seem to be bright wavelets of sunshine chasing each other over the dear face. "She will leave you one of these days. These burdens, if not lifted from hershoul tiers, win DreaK ner aown. inose rougn, hard hands, which have doneso many necessary things for you, will be crossed upon her lifeless breast. Those neglected lips which gave you your first baby kiss will be forever closed, and those sad, tired eyes will have opened in eternity, and then you will appreciate your mother; but it will be too fate."?[Eli Perkins. Cause op Blight and Insect Pests.? The one crop system followed up, will breed disease, no matter what the crop may be. A rotation of crops will, in a measure, if not wholly prevent its development. Diverse crops on the same soil is measurably preventive and as well a rejuvenator of the soil. Corn following corn, or wheat following wheat for a series of years, is the prime cause of insect pests; whereas an absolute change, not only of crops, but of variety of crops so as to induce a change in the method of cultivation, in the habits of plant growth anu ihe demands on the soil, will be very apt to prevent the development of the insect pests.?[American Farmer. |Wi5crllimc0ii5 Reading. JUDGED KY HIS CLOTHES. One of the leading citizens of Wilmington, N.C., was John Dawson. Asa banker he accumulated a large fortuue, which was so securely invested that even the ravages of the war left it unimpaired. Mr. Dawson rose from humble origin. He had come over from Ireland when a lad in the steerage of the same ship which brought Alexander T. Stewart. The two boys formed a warm friendship, which lasted through life. They maintained correspondence and grew prosperous, each in his own locality, though the New Yorker's wealth expanded with a marvelous rapidity. Immediately at thecloseof the war Dawson hurried to New York. The strangled commerce of the South had left her mark ets bare, and though wealthy, Mr. Dawson could only command a shockingly bad suit of butternut nankeen. His wife was hardly better clothed. Entering the huge dry goods palace of the merchant prince. Mr. Dawson gazed around for his old friend. A dapper floor walker stepped up brusquely : "Well, sir," said he, "what can we do for you ?" "I want to see Mr. Stewart," said Mr. Dawson. "He is busy, sir, and has no time to see you." "O, I didn'tknow. I'll just look around, then, if you have no objection." The clerk thought he was some country man who wanted to see Mr. Stewart through curiosity. The old fellow stared around and attracted considerable attention from the gaily dressed ladies who thronged the store. The underling concluded it was about time to interfere, so he walked up and said: "I told you it was no use to wait for Mr. Stewart. He is very busy and has no time for any one like you. Now, unless you wish to buy something you had better be going." "Mr. Stewart doesn't want to see me, you say, young man?" asked Mr. Dawson, dreamily. "I don't need to repeat it a third time," replied the clerk. "You had better go at once. We don't want you around the store. You will drive away custom." Just then the proprietor himself came walking down from the counting room. "Hello, Aleck," shouted Mr. Dawson. The dry goods millionaire stopped and stared. Then he rushed up ana threw hisarm3around thorough old fellow in the butternut suit. "Why, John, where did you come from ? My dear fellow, I am perfectly delighted to see you. Why didn't you let me know you were here?" "I tried to, but that young man?" But the officious clerk had disappeared at the first greeting. "Where did you get that suit?" asked Stewart. "My carriage is right at the door. Get right in and come to the tailor's. You must have some decent clothes right away. Where is Mrs Dawson? You must both come right to my house and stay." So he ran on as he actually dragged his old friend to his carriage. The officious clerk tried to keep out of sight every time he saw Mr. Dawson coming, but the latter took a malicious pleasure in running across him every time he came into the store and bowing to him. Finally, the clerk came one day and, abjectly apologizing, begged that Mr. Dawson would not carry the story of his rudeness to the proprietor. Mr. Dawson gave him a good humored tongue lashing and let him go. D1I/1DI1IC Til TUP UlPhlV I llJVini.HO XV A 11 U O UUL/aiU The crossing of the Jordan by the Israelites was accomplished in the most perfect order, because they had been trained under Moses to perfect military discipline, which was continued under Joshua. It was an occasion when almost any large body of men would have been thrown into confusion, unless thorough discipline can be presupposed. If this was the first great pilgrimage to the Jordan it certainly was not the last one. Thousands of devout pilgrims from different parts of the world visit this river every year. They bathe in it, and carry water from it to their distant homes. Greater numbers come from Russia than any other one country; out every country in Europe is represented, as well as North and South America and Australia. I have seen the road from Bethany to the banks of the Jordan literally crowded with pilgrims on their way to this sacred stream. In groups often, twenty or fifty, as the case might be, they were scattered throughout the entire distance, like the remnants of a routed army. They numbered probably two thousand or more. Once, on arriving at Jericho, I saw the bushes covered with garments, like the washing of a military encampment, and soon ascertained that they belonged to a crowd of pilgrims that had just returned from bathing in the Jordan. The clothing in which they bathe is preserved with great care, and it is these garments in which they desire and expect to be buried. The current of the river is very strong, and by ropes and other means precautions are taken against accidents while the pilgrims are bathing. It not infrequently happens, however, that persons lose their lives; but it is usually those who have confidence in themselves as being good swimmers.

October 1(5 12 (!in THE CORBIN DISH HE fflHE CORBIN DISK HARROW has now JL been in the hands of farmers for more than fifteen years, and is to-day perhaps the most popular farming implement of its kind that has ever been offered to them. It is used in Ontn or.,1 Tn^.l K,-,. in M.a 1 T i ? n.l u* oi j uioiu aim icmuuij 111 buc L/UHCU otfiLCO, and in Canada, Russia, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, .South America and Ireland. It has I been awarded medals of superiority by the | great American Institute Fair, The World's Exposition at New Orleans, and at every State ! and local display of agricultural implements where exhibited. DESCRIPTION. The above illustration gives a correct idea of tho general appearance of theC'orbin Harrow ready for use. It has steel disks that are turned to a knife edge. They are firmly and substantially attached to theaxleby means of a special j nut and key which clamps them firmly in po- | sition. It is impossible to loosen this nut by | any of the accidents or operations of field work, I but if desired to take the Harrow to pieces, a | few moments' work will readily detach these j parts and enable tho operator to take oil' or get out any of the disks in either gang. It has a wooden T beam?steel axles?woodon , seat standards?wrought hand lever?anti-fric- ! tion balls in bearings. The Corbin Harrow was the first to adopt and secure by letters of patent, case hardened anti-friction balls for the journals, to prevent the wearing of the boxes : and to lessen the draft. The entire boxing is j protected by sand bands and is furnished with ' self oiling boxes covered with a dust proof oil j cap. The axle revolves in a bearing formed of j eleven chilled iron balls, which makes the ma- : chine the lightest draft harrow in the world, j Two sizes of disks are used. The smallest size is 13 inches in diameter and the largest 16. j The manufacturers make harrows with 12, 1 16, 20 and 24 disks each, but experience has j demonstrated the fact that the 13-inch, 12-disk, I or the 16-inch, 12-disk, six foot cut, is best i adapted to general farm work. The price of the 13-inch, 12-disk, Harrow is 836.00 The Drice of the 16-inch. 12-disk. is 840. A Few Words of Praise for the Harrow. The following words of praise for the Corbin Disk Harrow are published for the information of those of our readers who are not familiar with this most valuable implement. As each witness is known by a large number of our readers, eithoi personally or by reputation, we feel warranted iu saying that their testimony will be convincing to the most skeptical: Mr. Win. II. Herndon's Endorsement. Yorkvili.e, S. C., July 10, 1889. I have used a Disk Harrow for years, and would not bo without one for four times its cost. I think the Disk Harrow is the most important implement used, and will do more work for its cost than any implement made. Wm. H. Herndon. Mr. Rob't E. Gnthrie's Evidence. Guthriesville, S. C., July 5, 1889. Catt. L. M. Grist: Dear Sir:?I have a Corbin Disk Harrow which I have been using ! for several years, and consider it the most valu- | able farming implement of which I have any ; knowledge. I use my Disk Harrow in sowing j all of my small grain, and it does the work i better than any implement I have ever used. Land that has been cultivated in cotton or corn, may be sown without any preparation whatever, and an ordinary hand, with two mules, can sow and cover six to eight acres in a day. All that is necessary is to sow the seed on the ground, and then run the Harrow over it one time: but better results will be obtained if the Harrow is run over the ground two or three times. As a time and money saver, aside from the superior quality of work it does, its value can hardly be estimated at the seasons at which the small grain is sown. The Harrow is very j useful in pulverizing rough plowed land of any I kind, especially bottoms, and it will pay any j farmer to use one. Unlike the ordinary tooth, ; or Acme harrow, it not only pulverizes the ; surface, but will pulverize to the depth to | which the plow has gone and often deeper. It j can be used to advantage on land that is too i wet to plow, without injury to the land. There : should, in my opinion, be a Disk Harrow on ! every well regulated farm, and in my opinion no harrow yet introduced is equal to the Corbin | in simplicity, durability and thoroughness of j work. Respectfully, R. E. Guthrie. i Dr. W. jH. Walker's Testimony. Yorkvii.lk, S. C., July 8, 1889. Catt. L. M. Grist: Dear Sir:?In reply to your inquiry as to what I think of the value of the Corbin Disk Harrow as a farming implement, 1 would say that 1 consider myself incompetent to do the implement justice, but will try to give some idea of my estimate of its ; value. I consider the Corbin Disk Harrow to be the most valuable farming implement I have ever used, or eyer oxpect to use.

There is no imElement which will do equal service that I ave eyer seen, that is so simple in construction or which is less liable to get out of order. It is one of the few improved farming implements which can be used to advantago by the ordinary negro. The Corbin Harrow will more than pay for itself in one season if given hulf . a chance. I now have on my farm a lfi-inch, J 12-disk Corbin Harrow, tho original price of * which was$40, and although the implement has J been in use nearly live years, if it was impos- J sible to get another, I would not take live times j its cost for it. In .conclusion, let me say that j some of my assertions may sound extravagant j to somo of my brother farmers who are not { familiar with the Corbin Harrow, but I will * say to those who may doubt any of my state- { menta, that I will take pleasure in demonstrat- * ing tho truth of each and every assertion to j the entire satisfaction of all who will call at my j farm near town. I hope to see, or hear, at an j early day, of a Corbin Harrow being on the * farms of hundreds of farmers in this section. Very Respectfully, W. M. Wat.kkr. Mr. F. H. Dover's Verdict. ( Grovkk, N. C., July 10, 1889. Capt. L. M.Grist: Dear SirI haveowned t a 10-inch Corbin Disk Harrow for thepast four ? years and haye put it to every possible test and 1 it has given entire satisfaction. I had longfelt the need of a harrow that would pulverize the " soil thoroughly from four to six inches deep, I and realized that this could not be done by any drag or tooth harrow, for they only pulverize the surface, leaving many clods or lumps untouched, and these clods would bo worked to the surface in cultivating tho crop; and all intelligent fanners know that cloddy land J does not give the best results. Hence the great J importance of a harrow that will pulverize the soil as deep as the plow goes. My harrow will thoroughly pulverize to a depth of seven inches. ] I want nothing better in stalk land in putting in j wheat or oats than the Corbin Harrow, for it j not- oniy noes Deuor worK man a piow, dui is so much faster, cutting six feet at a time, and all farmers know the importance of saving time at the season when these crops are usually sown. I venture the assertion that no farmer who owns a C'orbin Harrow would be without it for twice its cost. Two great advantages the harrow possess over most improved farming implements is its simplicity and durability. Any sleepy-headed free negro can operate it if be has sense enough to drive a wagon. I have prepared stubble land for planting, where there was no rocks or stumps, with my Harrow, by harrowing it twice, crossing the first work with the last, as well or better than I have ever done with a plow. Much more might be said about the Corbin Harrow but I think I have said enough to induco farmers to inquire into its merits. All who investigate will bo converted. Very Respectfully, Felix H. Dover. Speed, Thoroughness and Economy. Wharten, Ga., July 29. I prepared a great deal of my cotton and corn land this season with a Sixteen Inch Corbin 1 Disk Harrow, and the crops, after the disk preparation, areas good or better than that on land prepared in the ordinary way.
