SAMUEL BRADBURN.
An incident in the course of one of Bradbarn's
journeys was described by an old
minister, who had the best evidence of
its own authenticity, evidence which was
afterwards confirmed by Bradburn's nearest
relative and biographer. The incident
shows that his wit could be merciless
when saucily provoked. He had come
to a roadside inn to wait for the stage
coach. While waiting, another passenfer
arrived?a young lord, attended by
is valet. The young gentleman was
lively, but stammered slightly in conversation.
On seeing Bradburn, whose !
personal appearance would attract atten- j
tion, the gay young fellow, speaking aside
to the landlady, said:
"Y-o-you h-h-have a parson here."
"He's a Methodist preacher, my lord,"
said she.
"Oh, then, I'll have a bit of fun with
him." Approaching Bradburn, he said :
"P-p-pray, sir, c-c-can you t-tell me
just how it was that B-a-Balaam's ass
spoke ?"
-Bradbury, who knew that if you look
full of a ofommorpr. vnu increase his dif
ficultv, replied:
"What do you say, sir?"
"P-p-pray, sir, c-c-can you t-tell me
j-j-just n-h-how it was th-that B-a-Balaam's
ass spoke?"
"What do you say, sir?" cried Bradburn,
looking sternly into his face and
putting his hand to his ear.
"Pa-p pa-pa," stuttered the fun maker,
and stood with distorted face unable to put
his question.
His valet came to his rescue, and bowing
to Branburg, said:
"My lord wishes to know, sir, whether
you can inform him how it was that Balaam's
ass spoke?"
I dont know sir," was the answer, "unless
it was that Balaam stammered so
badly himself that he hired his ass to
speak for him."
Both master and man had found fun
enough.?[Sunday Magazine.
LOOKING AHEAD.
The mavor of Louisville, upon meeting
an old negro, drew him aside, and in a
voice by no means gentle, thus addressed
him:
"Bandfcom, I am going to have you arrested."
"How come dat?"
"Why, for having obtained money under
false pretenses."
"I ain't done nothin' like dat, sah; I
'clar to goodness I ain't."
"Didn't you come to mo yesterday and
get a dollar?"
"Yes, sah."
"Well, but you trifling scoundrel, I
saw your son on the street just now."
"Hah?"
"You know what I said ?" *
"Yas, sah ; yas but I didn't tell you de
boy was dead, did I?"
"Didn't tell me he was dead ! You infernal
old idiot; did you suppose I thought
you were going to bury him alive?"
"No, sah."
"Then what did you mean by saying
that vou didn't tell me he was dead?"
"Now, jes hoi' on, sah ; jest wait a minit.
Dat boy ain't been in good helf fur er
laung time, an', dat I'd hatter bury him
sooner or later, w'y I 'lowed better raise
de money durin' de busy season, when de
folks wan't hard pressed. I'se mighty
kine hearted dis way, sah, monstrous
kine hearted, but er man don't git no
credit in dis yere world o' sin fur bein'
kine hearted. An' ergin, I'se er man dat
doan blebe in puttin' off er thing that he
lrnniva hno crnf. tn hp rinnp. KnOWS dat I'll
hatter bury dat chile putty soon, and
yere you come an' wanter punish me fer
takin' up de ercasion in time.
"You old rascal, that boy is in excellent
health."
"Who, dat chile ? You don't know dat
chile like I does, sah. Dat boy suffers
wid der gestion, but it's jest as I says, er
hones' an' kine hearted man doan git no
credit In dis yer sin cussed worl."
AMERICAN HUMOR.
The disposition of Americans to exaggerate
is especially prominent in what is
known as American humor. A story associated
with "picket-firing," during the
civil war, brings out this feature of national
character.
One day there was a truce between the
two hostile picket lines.
"Ho, Yank!" called out a lank Missipplan,
who had just been posted. "Can
you fellows shoot ?"
"Wal, Johnny, I guess we can, some!
Can you?"
"Shoot!" shouted back the Confederate.
"Why, down in Mississippi we knock a
bumble bee off a thistle bow at three hun
urea yarusr"O
that's nothing to the way we shoot
up in Vermont! I belonged to a company
up tner' of a hundred men, and every
week we used to go out to practice. The
cap'n would draw us up in single file, and
set a cider barrel rollin' down bill. Each
man took a shot at the bung-hole as it
turned up.
"The barrel was then examined, and if
there was a shot found that didn't go into
the bunghole, the man that fired it was
expelled. I belonged to the company ten
years, and there aint been nobody expelled
yet."
The exaggeration is often so pronounced
as to eclipse the humor. A Californian,
hearing a Brazillian tell of the wonderful
fire-flies of his country, so large and luminous
that ladies wore them on their
person enclosed in gauze, replied:
"That's nothin'. Why, in Californy the
fireflies are so large that they use them to
cook by. They set the kettles on their
hinder legs, which are bent for the purpose
like pot-hooks, and their bodies give
out heat to boil potatoes."
The Luck of an Arkansas Druggist.
Opposite Memphis about' twenty miles
inland I stopped at a general store to rest

hardware, wooden ware, dry goods, groceries,
saddlery and salt meats, there was
a stock of drugs in the rear. I got some
crackers and cheese, and while eating
there came in a colored man. He complained
of pains in the chest, and wanted
a remedy. The merchant scratched his
nose reflectively, looked along the shelves,
and finally took down a bottle, poured a
two-ounce phial full, and corked it up and
handed it over with the remark:
"Take five drops of that in water every
four hours. Fifty cents."
The negro paid and went away, and
in a few minutes a woman came in for
something for dyspepsia. He took down
a chance bottle, poured some of the contents
into a phial, and charged her 60
cents. Then I inquired if he was a doctor.
"Well, sorter," he replied.
"And you know drugs?"
"Yes, tolerably fair."
"You put up queer remedies for those
two complaints."
"Did I! Do you know drugs?"
"I have served five years as prescription
clerk."
"Just the man I've been aching to see
for a month 1 I took this stock on a debt.
The fellow agreed to write on each bottle
what the contents were good tor, but he
missed over half of 'em. I've been dealing
out sorter on my own judgment, and
I've had mighty good luck so far."
"Haven't you killed any one?"
"About a dozen, I reckon; but all but
one have been niggers, and the one white
was no count a~y how. Now you just put

AST*Not many days ago a gentleman had
taken affectionate leave of his wife and
daughter for a three-months' trip abroad.
The child, a lovely little girl of two and a
half years, stood by a chair with her thumb
in her mouth?a favorite pastime, and, to
her, a panacea for all her childish ills. She
watched her mother for a few moments,
saw the tears filling the lovely eyes and
dropping one by one from her cheeks, then
went to her side, and with a comforting
tone, looking pityingly up to her face,
said, "Mamma, suck '00 fum!" As if
nothing could so much comfort her.

A TALK WITH OUR YOUNG MEN.
In my article in the September number,
"A Talk with Farmers," I advised young
men to become farmers. I reiterate the
advice. Go to the cities and see the crowds
of young men employed therein, and see
another crowd hanging around seeking
employment; this shows that the cities
are overcrowded, and the more they are
crowded the greater will be the competition,
and competition makes lower wages.
The salaries paid clerks barely support
them ; about all they do is to make their
board, and clothe themselves; and they
are lucky if their salaries will board and
clothe them decently; and a clerk's duties
are laborious and confining, and he can call
no time his own except Sunday, and after
nightfall to daylight. What farmer boy
goes through such confiningand continued
labor the year in and year out ? Why, not
one! Take the working hours of the farmer
year in and year out, they won't average
ten hours a day, counting the days he
works, and still you hear it said that farm
work is too hard and monotonous; therefore,
the boys want to get away from the
farms, and I am sorry to say,.in too many j
cases their mothers infuse such ideas into
their heads; also, some fathers. The clerk
whilst at work is under the eyes of his
Via had tin fthancA tn shirk:
ULIJ pXVJ V/i ^ IIV KUU uv vi?mmwv ? , |
whether it rains or not, he is kept busily
employed, whilst the farm boy, when it
rains or is too cold to plow, has nothing to
do but feed and water stock. The clerk is
kept confined, busily at work the year
round, whilst the farm boy one-fourth of
the year may be said to be idle, or has but
little to do. Now compare the duties of
the merchant and the farmer. The merchant's
life is one of anxiety and labor ;
his whole time, mentally aud physically,
must be given to his business. lie has to
keep an eye on his business the whole
time; it has to be closely watched and
managed. He has to please a variety of
customers; Resells much on credit, and is
dependent on the promptness of his debtors
to meet his obligations, and if his
debtors fail to pay him, that doesn't release
his obligations, and obligations not
met are protested, and a protest threatens
his credit and a loss of credit. As said, his
life is one of anxiety, for a large portion of
his capital is in the hands of others, depending
on their honor and ability to pay;
hence, after his day's labor his nights are
often spent in anxiety thinking of his
business affairs. With the farmer, how
different , for if a judicious man he can
orctoirmH/n his business, arrange all his
plans and carry them out, depending only
on the weather and some trifling hand,
which often times can be replaced, and if
not, he can take his place until replaced.
What pursuit offers such privileges as the
farmer's? He can arrange his work so he
can go to town at least once a week ; many
go twice a week, and some oftener; and
there is not a day but he can take his horse
and ride around and spend an hour or two
with his neighbors without neglecting his
own business ; take even the farmer who
has to plow and work himself?be can
spare the half of every Saturday and go to
town and see and hear what is going on,
and enjoy himself. This is but a short account
in contrasting the lives of the merchant
and farmer, but it is enough to make
a comparison and cause reflection. But
our young men say : "I won't farm, for I
see what trouble my father has with his
hands and his farm, and he barely makes a
living." Young man, let me tell you
where the farmer has to deal with one
man, the merchant has to deal with a
thousand men. Yes, he has troubles as
well as we have ; but he don't make them
as public as we do, and the merchant has a
thousand other troubles the farmer never
experiences or knows anything about. It
is not all gold that glitters, and so it is
with merchants; it is not all merchants
that are traveling on easy and pleasant
roads to fortune; they have their ups and
downs in life as well as farmers. Now,
young man, let me say from a long life of
experience and observation, I have seen
or known no occupation or pursuit that
equals the farmer's for a life of ease, comfort
and independence. Like all other business,
it requires attention and close management,
and good judgment to make it
successful. Fortunes are not always to be
made at it, but this I say, no man can have
a more comfortable, easy and independent
life on so little capital as the farmer.
I say, young man ; go to farming. No
easier, more pleasant and independent life
can be led. If you farm properly and judiciously,
and with a well-managed, wellarranged
and comfortably built-up farm,
and out of debt, no millionaire will be
more independent and happy than you
will be or can make yourself. Your fortunes
are with yourselves, follow what occupation
you will.?J. H. Dent, in Dixie
Farmer.
Early Oats.?In a majority of cases it
is the early oats that yield the best, not
only in quantity but in quality. Oats will
stand a considerable frost with less injury
than they will stand the hot, scorching
sun we so often have in July, and especially
so if they are just Ailing out. Oats and
onions are two crops that, as a rule, ought
to be ready to go in the ground just as!
soon as the condition of the soil will admit.
If this is done, it will be quite an item
to make the necessary preparations in advance,
so that at.the proper time the work
can be pushed along as rapidly as possible.
The seed should be secured and be on
hand, and the implements all ready to go
to work. On land that has been plowed
in the fall, the oats can be sown broadcast,
and then with a cultivator they can be
plowed, or rather cultivated in very rapidly.
A good harrowing will usually fine
and level down the soil sufficiently, and
at the same time cover the seed. On stubble
land it will, of course, be necessary to
plow and then sow the seed, harrowing
thoroughly to level down the surface and
I coyer the seed.?[Prairie Farmer.

Get some clean, fine sand ; dry it thoroughly
in a kettle on the stove. Make a bag
about eight inches square in flannel, fill it
with dry sand, sew the open.ng carefully
together, and cover the bag with cotton or
linen. This will prevent the sand from
sifting out, and will also enable you to heat
the bag quickly by placing it in an oven
or even on top of the stove. After once
using this you will never again attempt to
warm the feet or hands of a sick person
i with a bottle of hot water or a brick. The
sand holds the heat a long time, and the
bag can be tucked up in the back without
hurting the invalid. It is a good pian to
make two or three of the bags, and keep
them on hand, ready for use at any time
when needed.
Remedy fok Chronic Diarrhosa.?
Dr. T. C. Smith, writing in the Medical
and Surgical reporter, mentions the fact of
having cured a case of chronic diarrhoea,
which had lasted nearly forty years, by the
administration of a saturated solution of
salt and cider vinegar, a drachm being
taken three or four times a day. He also
states that since the first instance where he
recommended this homely remedy, withoutsupposing
that it would actually do any
good, he has employed it several times in
more or less severe cases of chronic diarrhoea,
in which it produced great improvement,
and in some cases cure. When relapses
followed the suspension of the remedy,
its renewed administration was again
followed by improvemeut.
As to Rented Farms.?Somebody tells
a deal of truth in these six sentences:
Never rent a farm when you can own one.
The man who rents a farm must neccessarily
add much to the premises from which
he cannot derive any benefit. If he attempts
to crop a rented farm without do
ing justice to the land, he will sutler a loss
as well as the owner. There are many
improvements of the soil from which the
owner receives the benefit, in the course
of time, at the expense of the renter. All
farms should be rented by mutual agreement,
and all conditions plainly stipulated.

WHAT SHALL WE 1)0 WITH JOHN ?
My neighbor Jinkins is a well-to-do
farmer. His son John has just come home
with a college diploma. He graduated
! with honor, is a good scholar, and a good
speaker. And now the anxious question
over at Jinkins's is, What shall John do ?
or, Whatshall we do with John? He is
a member of the church, but he does not
think he is called to preach the gospel, and
i he has too much reverence for the ministry
to rush into it unbidden. He has no
1 special taste for medicine, and the legal
profession is crowded. Politics might
offer an inviting field to an ambitious
! young man; but it is run by machines,
i and he who would succeed must begin by i
selling himself to a ring. John is too 1
I manly for that. Tie might teach; but, if <
,1 he does, he will have to begin in some J
! country school, drilling a lot of unkempt i
urchins in A B C, and that would be worse i
than chopping cord-wood. So the ques- I
tion finds no satisfactory answer. . <
Jinkins came to me for advice. Said he:
"I am afraid that I have made a mistake, i
John was a bright boy and a good boy. 1
I thought that I ought to educate him. )
I have worked hard to keep him at school; i
and he has studied hard to get a good ed- 1
ucation. But now he is through, and he i
don't know what to do with himself. It <
seems a pity to put a young man who can
read Latin and Greek to running a gang- I
plow or a mowing-machine. But he don't 1
want to be a lawyer, or doctor, or teacher, <
and he ain't called to preach. I don't see l
whaf there is for him to do. If he is to i
come back and work on the farm, he might <
as well have stayed there and not have i
gone to college."
"Jinkins," said I, "you made no mis- I
take in educating John as you have; but i
permit an old friend to suggest that you
are making two mistakes now. The first <
is, in thinking that because John has gone i
through college, and got a diploma, he is
educated; and the second is, that education
is valuable only for the money it en- <
ables a man to make. Now, my notion is, i
that though Latin, Greek and mathemat- ;
ics are valuable in education, the know
lege of them is not an education. Education
means training for usefulness all a <
man's faculties: his senses, as well as his '
memory and reason ; his hands, as well as
his head; his muscles, as well as brain.
The object of education is the complete and
symmetrical development of our manhood, i
It is therefore physical and moral, as well
as intellectual. Now, John has been do- <
ing brain work almost exclusively lor
years. He has been among books and under
the teachers. Let him spend a little
time in bodily exercise, in studying nature,
and in learning to think for himself.
A farm is one of the best schools in the
world. The variety of work makes it an
excellent gymnasium, and the Great Teacher
is giving new lessons there with each
change of the seasons. Give John a piece i
of land to cultivate; tell him to study it
as he studied "Euclid." Tell him to ap- 1
piy in nis iarming wnai no learueu iu ma 1
natural philosophy and chemistry. Tell
him to think as he follows his plow ; to <
ponder the problem of life?the greatest of 1
all problems in God's free air and sunshine. 1
Such thinking will make him wiser than
any text-books or lectures. If he will now, 1
standing on what his teachers have taught
him, look above it?come into communion <
with God as he has revealed himself in his
works and his word?he will utilize his
college culture as he could not in office or j
school-house. That culture is excellent
as far as it goes; but it must be supple- 1
mented by reflection, and by the training
of the character in the duties of life. John !
Randolph once said: 'We all have two !
educations: one that we obtain from oth- j
ers; another, and the most important, !
that we secure for ourselves.' It is the J
latter that determines our character, our
success in life, and our destiny hereafter." ]
"But," cried Jinkins, "will it pay for a
boy who has gone through college to work
on a- farm ? John's education has cost
thousands of dollars, and he he ought to 1
make something by it." ,
"By making something you mean mak- 1
ing money. That is the way with Ameri- ,
cans. We are always asking how much j
money there is in it. But money is not
the only thing worth living for. The man I
who is a mere money-getter is the worst ]
of all failures in our modern civilization. 1
He is a sponge that petrifies as fast as it is
filled. He has a cold, metallic intellect, 1
a metallic conscience, and a metallic heart. !
For goodness' sake don't try to shrivel ]
John up to a cent-per-cent ideal of man- 1
hood. Let him believe that the true rich- '
, es are within; that a good man is worth
more that a good bank account. If he '
makes a living and grows wiser every 1
j 1 - ...in 1 :? . 1 :r u~ (
uay, lie win ue uuppier nmu 11 nc hcio
amassing a fortune and starving his soul.
I tell you, Jinkins, we don't want all the (
education centered in towns and cities; we
need it on the farms. Let us cultivate j
our minds and hearts as carefully as we
cultivate fields and orchards, and we will j
have the noblest population the world has ,
ever seen. But if we encourge the idea <
that soon as a young man knows any more i
than the district school can teach he is too j
smart to be a farmer, we degrade that ele- (
ment in the land on which its true prosperity
depends. If I had as many sons as J
patriarch Jacob, and expected them all to .
be farmers, I would send them all to col- (
lege, if I could. True learning?learning ,
sought and loved for its own sake?pre- {
pares a man to be successful and happy
in any sphere. It would be worth all that it
costs if its possessor had to be a day-laborer. ,
But on a farm it may be a source of profit, \
as well as enjoyment. Tell John to show ,
his neighbors that education don't make
a man too proud to work. Tell him hu- |
man life began with two great teachers? (
Nature and God?and that if he would be ,
norfont thcur will holn Mm him tfi
show us that he is the better farmer be- <
cause he has been trained to observe and
to think. Above all, tell him to rejoice
that he does not have to depend on clients,
or patients, or the whims of school direc- i
tors, for his bread, but receives it directly i
from God. I do not believe there is any <
nobler position for a man than that of a 1
cultured and devout tiller of the soil." 1
"I reckon you are right, and I'll send 1
John over to talk with you." i
HISTORY OF THE UMBRELLA. <
In Queen Anne's time the umbrella is i
mentioned, Mr. Leckey tells us in his '
history of England in the eighteenth cen- ]
tury, both by Swift and Gray, as employed 1
hv wnmpn hut nn tn the middle of the <
i -r
; eighteenth century it appears never to
have beeu used in England by men, I
though Wolfe, the future conqueror of I
Quebec, wrote from Paris in 1752, describ- <
ingitasin general use in that city, and 1
wondered that so convenient a practice 1
had not penetrated to England. I
Hauway, the famous traveler and phi- s
! lanthropist, who returned to England in
; 17G0, is said to have been the first Englishman
who carried an umbrella; and a '
Scotch footman named John MacDonald, >
who traveled with his master in France ;
and Spain, mentions in his curious auto- ,
i biography that he brought one to London
in 1778, and persisted in carrying it in
i wet weather, though a jeering crowd fol- ,
lowed him, crying, "Frenchman, why ]
don't you get a coach?" In about three '
months the annoyance almost ceased, and
gradually a few foreigners, and then some
Englishmen, followed his example.
; Defoe lias uescriDea me umorena as one
of the contrivances of ltobinson Crusoe, j
. and umbrellas were in consequence at one
, time called "Robinson." They were look- !
I ed on as a sign of extreme effeminacy, and 1
- they multiplied very slowly. Dr. Jami- !
, son, in 1782, is said to have been the first
. person who used one in Glasgow; and
Southey's mother, who was born in 1752,
was accustomed to say that she remember1
ed the time when any one would have
been hooted who carried one in the streets
of Bristol.
1 A single coarse cotton one was often kept
1 in a coffee house to be lent out to customers,
or in a private house to be taken out
with the carriage and held over the heads
; of ladies as they got in and out; but for
many years those who used umbrellas in
1 the streets were exposed to the insults of
the mob, and to the persistent and very
natural animosity of the hackney-coach!
men, who bespattered them with mud and
1 lashed them with their whips. But the
manifest convenience of the fashion secured
its ultimate triumph, and before the
close of the century umbrellas passed into
1 general use.
The Democratic Leader.?Uncommon
interest is taken in th > question as to
who will be the Democratic leader on the
r floor of the house, and in some quarters
, a disposition has been exhibited to 9tir up j
s personaljealousies and rivalries. Nothing:
i is likely to come outof this. It is thought |
i by the oldest and most experienced of the i
Democrats that all such questions as this j
i will naturally adjust themselves according |
, to precedent and circumstances. Mr. Cari
lisle, after six years in the speaker's chair,
will come down on the floor. lie will un

PUSSY IX THE WITNESS BOX.
A valuable Newfoundland dog, name
Major, having strayed from his owner
house, was claimed in all good faith by ai
:>ther gentleman, who recognized the dc
is his own lost Newfoundland. Argumei
ind persuasion failing, suit was brought I

den, in St. Nicholas.
What to Teach Boys.?A philosi
pher has said that true education to bo^
is to teach "them to know when they bi
some men."
1. To be true and to be genuine. No e<
ucation is worth anything that does n<
include this. A man had better not kno
how to read?he had better never learn
letter in the alphabet, and be true, gem
ine in intention and in action?rather tha
be learned in all sciences and in all lai
morroo ho of tho enmo timn fntoo 5
heart and counterfeit in life. Above a
things teach the boys that truth is moi
than riches, more than earthly power c
possessions.
2. To be pure in thought, language an
life?pure in mind and in body.
3. To be unselfish. To care for the fee
ings and comfort of others. To be polib
to be just, in all dealings with others. . I
be generous, noble and manly. This wi
include a genuine reverence for the age
ind for things sacred.
4. To be self-reliant and self-helpful eve
from childhood. To be Industrious alwaj
ind self-supporting at the earliest prop(
ige. Teach them that all honest work
honorable, and that an idle life of deper
Jence on others is disgraceful.
When a boy has learned these foi
things?when he has made these ideas
part of his being?however poor, or hov
sver rich, ho has learned the most impor
things he ought to know when he bi
iomes a man.

Tiie Secret of Longevity.?A littl
way beyond the ancient church at lie
ierness is a brick residence, whose froi
is half hidden by one of those monst<
slms that are the pride of our northei
States, and beneath its shade I saw recen
ly an old man who is passing his ninet;
fifth year, sitting comfortably in a grei
trm chair.
My wife told me that his aunt had r
:ently died, aged one hundred and five
ind, curious to know if there was an
special reason for such longevity, I mac
inquiries. "No," said my informant
'only they were almost always out <
l/\rtr>u on/1 livorl f? niiiol lifo."
Yet in that single sentence lay a greati
philosophy than he dreamed of, a soundi
precept than he knew. To keep out <
Joors and avoid worry is a maxim that,
followed, would close a majority of 01
hospitals, which, I regret to say, have
greater number of occupants with eac
jucceeding year.
