The Minister's Son.?In a certain Vermont
town where the war of sects still rages
with much of its old time bitterness, dwells
a Presbyterian clergyman, who looks upon
all the world outside the pale of his church
as darkness and the bondage and gall of
iniquity. Especially does he regard the
Unitarians as the children of darkness, and
at least once a year he is accustomed to
preach a sermon aimed at their particularlydamned
heresies.
This clergyman has an only son, and the
son, so far from being bitter against the sects
which so excite the holy wrath of the father,
is utterly indifferent to the whole lot, Presbyterianism
included. His father has endeavored
to instill into him some of his owu
spirit, but apparently without the slightest
success; and the young man is theologically
the blackest of black sheep, although morally
there is not much which could not be said
in his praise.
One beautiftil Sunday last autumn, when
? il . v_ xl. _
game was plenty in tne wooas, me juuug
man took his gun, and while his father was
at church inveighing against the devil and
all his works, the son was engaged in
open Sabbath-breaking, a sin against which
he has no scruples whatever. When night
came be presented himself at home with a
well-filled game-bag, much to the horror of
his father.
"My son," the old man said, "did you
shoot those to-day ?"
"Yes, father," was the ready reply.
"Didn't I have good luck ?"
"0,my son," the other groaned, in answer;
"to think you should go gunning on the
Lord's day! Why, I had almost rather you
had gone to the Unitarian meeting!"

Hoist with His Own Petard.?Mr. B.,
a book publisher, has a wonderful memory,
and his knowledge of English literature is so
available that when a friend wishes to know
where any particular passage may be found,
he steers at once for Mr. B.
A pompous would be wit, not long ago,
thinking to puzzle him and make sport for a
company at dinner, informed them prior to
Mr. B.'s arrival that he had written some
poetry and intended to submit it to Mr. B.
as Southey's, and inquire in which of his
poems the lines occurred. At the proper
moment, therefore, after the guests were
seated, he began :
"Friend B., I have been a good deal puzzled
cf late trying to find in Southey's poems
his well-known lines running thus, (quoting
his own lines). Can you tell us about what
time he wrote them ?"
"I do not remember to have met them before,"
replied Mr. B. "and there were only
two periods in Southey's life when such lines
could possibly have been written by him."
"When were those ?" gleefully exclaimed
the witty questioner.
"Somewhere," said Mr. B., "about that
early period of his life when he was having
the measles and cutting his first teeth; or
near the close of his life, when his brains
had softened and he had fallen into idiocy.
The versification belongs to the measles
period, but the expression clearly betrays
the idiotic one."
The funny questioner smiled faintly, but
the company roared with laughter.
Paid fob His Joke.?It's all very well
to be funny, but fun oftentimes is costly, as
the gentleman in the barber's chair found out
when he paid for his joke.
The barber had just shaved a stylish-looking
man. "Fifteen cents," said the barber.
"What for ?"
"For shaving you."
"Look here, do you know how much of
my valuable time I have given you while
sitting here? I have been in this chair
about ten minutes, and during that time I
might have made a thousand dollars on the
boanl of trade. Don't talk to me about
fifteen cents." ^
"You might be right," said the barber,
and you might have made ten thousand
dollars on the board, but you have been occupying
my chair, and will have to pay
rent. For shaving I charge only fifteen
cents. And we will let that go, but for the
rent of the chair I charge fifty cents, and
you will give me the money or go without
your hat. Hold that hat, Jim," he called,!
addresing a boy.
"Perhaps you are right," said the man,
? "lrtmonfa raflontinn "t'll nftV VOI1 I
ttivcr a muuicuv o avuvvvw**. ? - x~*v
for the shave."
"No; I want my rent."
"Here, give me that hat. I'm in a hurry."
"Not till you give me fifty cents."
"Well, here, confound you, take the fifty
cents. I never saw such a town as this. A
man can't joke without hating to pay for it."
General Fisk's Boomerang.?Maj. Ford
H. Bodgers tells an amusing anecdote of
-the late Gen. Clinton B. Fisk. The general
was addressing a Sunday-school convention.
One of the speakers had reminded the
children that it was Washington's birthday.
"Children," said Gen. Fisk, "you all know
that Washington was a general. Perhaps
you know that I am also a general. Now,
can any one tell the difference between Gen.
Washington and mygelf?"
"I know, sir," piped a small boy in the
back part of the room.
"Well, what was the difference ?" said
Gen. Fisk, smiling at the boy's eagerness.
"George Washington couldn't tell a lie, sir,"
cried the boy in exultant tones. Screams of
laughter followed, in which the general
joined as heartily as the rest.?Detroit News.
Referred to Pa.?Lovely daughter?
"Pa, Mr. Nicelfelo proposed to me last
night, and I referred him to you."
Pa?"Well, I really don't know much about
the young man, and I'll have to "
Daughter?"When he calls to see you
about it you are to receive him kindly?real
fatherly, remember?and help him along all
you can, until he asks for my hand, und then
you are to look alarmed, and talk about
what an angel I am, and how many millionaires
and dukes and princes I've refused;
and then you are to reluctantly consent aud
give him your blessing."
"Oh, I am, am I ? But suppose I don't;
then what?"
"I'll marry him anyhow."?New York

ton, who declared that she had heard a great
deal of him through the newspapers, and
who said: "Mr. Simpson, is it true that you
do not wear socks, and will you not let me
see for myself whether the story is true or
false?" "Madam," replied the gallant Jerry,
"I am a firm believer in reciprocity in all
things, and I will show you my socks on one
condition, and that is that in return you will
show me yours." It is hardly necessary to
say that the inquisitive female uttered a little
shriek and fled hurriedly. Simpson of
Kansas, is not a simpleton by any means.
I6T Judge Q., who once presided over a
criminal court down East, was famous as one
of the most compassionate men who ever sat
upon the bench. His softness of heart, however,
did not prevent him from doing his
duty as a judge. A man who had been convicted
of stealing a small amount was
brought into court for sentence. He looked
very sad and hopeless, and the court was
very much moved by his contrite appearance.
"Have you ever been sentenced to
imprisonment," the judge asked. "Never,
never!" exclaimed the prisoner, bursting into
tears. "Don't cry, don't cry," said Judge
Q., consolingly; "you're going to be, now?"
A Quick Mind.?Several years since, a
darkey named Tom, living at Bowling Green,
Kentucky, was missed, and the dead body
of another was found under a railway trestle
a short distance from town, and identified
as Tom by his friends and relatives. The
funeral arrangements were being made, when
Tom returned. The burial was, however,
proceeded with, and shortly afterward, when
Tom was asked how he felt when he came
back and found that he was being mourned
as dead, he replied : "Why, Marse Rochester,
just as soon as I seed dat nigger I know'd
** it warn't me."
MST "You want a position in my store do
you miss?" said the kind-hearted merchant.
"You don't look as if you had had much experience
in selling goods. I have only one
place vacant now. It's the soap department
in the basement, and the salary is only $1.75
a week, but my wife informed me this morning
she needed another girl in her kitchen.
If you would like that place, she will give
you $4 a week and a good home. Which
would you prefer?" "I'll take the soaplady
position, sir," was the haughty reply.

WHAT A BIG COTTON CROP MEANS.
In looking over the cotton statistics for
the past twenty-five years, I find some figures
that should interest the Southern farmers at
this time, while they are arranging for the
coming crop.
The crops have varied in size from less than
3,000,000 bales to near 8,000,000. The market
value of the crop, however, has remained
almost a constant quantity, rarely bringing
less than $300,000,000, or more than $325,000,000.
From these figures it seems that a crop of
five or six million bales will sell for quite
as much as a crop of 8,000,000 bales.
The South can hold a monopoly ou cotton
so long as the price does not go above twelve
I cents a pound, and we should pitch the
crop so as to keep the price between ten and
! twelve cents. We can make five or six million
bales, and also raise our own horses,
mules, grain and wheat. If five or six million
bales will bring as much money as
seven or eight millions, then, by this plan,
we will save annually what we pay out for
stock and provisions. The horse and mule
drovers will carry off from Atlanta alone
Al?? ? ? Anfinn
this year more umu uuc-siaiu vi tw vuu.v
cotton crop of Georgia. Is not that sum
worth an effort to keep at home ? Even if
we should make no effort to raise our own
stock and provisions, it would be money in
our pocket to cut the crop down a couple of
million bales. It costs on an average, little,
if any, below $25.00 to cultivate, gather,
gin and market a bale of cotton.
If, then, we can cut down the crop 2,000,000
bales without cutting down the price of
the crop, or losing the control of the supply,
it follows that we are to-day fifty millions
poorer on account of having made an extra
big crop.
A big cotton crop is a bonanza to the railroads,
commission merchants, ware-housemen
and company, but it means nothing
more nor less than big guano bills, big labor
bills, and hard times for the cotton planter.
If the farmers of Georgia continue the
practice of growing cotton to buy what they
can and ought to raise on the farm, it will
not be ten years longer before half of them
will be teuants on the lands that are now
their own.?D. N. Sanders in Southern
Farm.
Benefits of Going Barefooted.?I consider
the following, taken from The London
Lancet, very sensible and worthy the respectful
attention of parents. I have ever found
the writer's views confirmed by personal experience
with my own children:
[ "Children who are allowed to go barefooted
enjoy almost perfect immunity from the
danger of 'cold' by accidental chilling of the
the feet, and they are altogether healthier
and happier than those who, in obedience to
the usages of social life, have their lower extremities
permanently invalided and, so to
say, carefully swathed and put away in
rigid cases. As regards the poorer classes of
children, there can be no sort of doubt in
the mind of anyone that it is comparatively
better they should go barefooted than to
wear boots that let in wet, and stockings
that are nearly always damp and foul."
There could be added to the al>ove the testimony
of many eminent physicians, who give as
an additional reason the impossibility of a
child's foot growing naturally, shod as it has
to be, with the conventional shoe.
? ^ ? *
Care of Closets.?Closets are not only
useful but a necessary part of a house.
Many housekeepers think that there cannot
be too much closet room provided. There
are many things which are properly put in
closets, and other things, which should never
go into closets. Of such are soiled undergarments.
Clothing that has been worn
should not be hung away until properly ventilated.
In this way two fertile sources of
bad odors in closets may be excluded. Many
hang their night clothes in the closet during
the day. This also should be avoided, unless
they have had a thorough airing before
being hung. If the closet does not admit of
a window, the door should be left open for a
few hours every day, to admit pure air.
Some persons have ventilators placed just
over the door, but the outside air, if admitted
for' a .short time every day, will purify a
closet where only clean clothes are hung.
No matter how clean the clothing in the
closet may be, if there is no ventilation, the
clothing will not be what it should.?Detroit
Tribune.
A Cure for Tooth Ache.?It is not at
all uncommon to have tooth ache with perfectly
sound teeth, or in teeth that have been
recently filled. Without explaining the cause
for this, I would simply recommend a very
convenient little application which you can
readily prepare yourself and keep on hand.
Take a piece of chamois skin, or of fine,
closely woven flannel, and soak it through
in a good extract of Jamaica ginger, or
what is better still, in tincture of capsicum,
which you can obtain from any druggist.
Let this dry, and put it away until the time
of need. To use it'in the case of the toothache
I have mentioned, with a pair of scissors
cut a small piece off', and place it between
the gum and the lip, directly over the
root of the offending tooth. This will act as
as a counter irritant, and its effect is really
marvelous.?Laury McHenrv, in New York
World. _
Lime-Soaked Seed Corx.?As the time
approaches for planting corn, we call attention
to the method of soaking seed corn in
lime water, to prevent the depredations of
the bud-worm on the young corn. We printed
last year the experience of Mr. J. D. Collins,
of Edgmoor, in which he stated that his
corn from lime-soaked seed entirely escaped
the worm. Mr. Collins has received a letter
from a farmer in Alabama, saying that he
has adopted this plan for four years and it
has worked well every time. The mixture
should be made about the color and consistency
of thick milk, and the seed corn kept
in "soak" six hours?not longer. This is a
simple remedy and within the reach of all.
A peck of lime, Mr. Collins says, is sufficient
to prepare seed for a whole year's planting.

A REMARABLE SENTENCE.
One of the most eccentric and at the same
time one of the ablest j udges that ever sat upon
the far western bench, was Kirby Benedict,
who, for thirteen years, was a justice of
the supreme court of New Mexico, having
been first appointed in 1853 by President
Pierce and reappointed by President Buchanan,
and appointed chief justice of the
court by President Lincoln. He was a man
of great ability and learning, strong in his
prejudices, violent in his passions and relentless
in his convictions.
There are many anecdotes told of Judge
Benedict. But the crowning act of his judicial
career was the sentence of death passed
by him upon a prisoner convicted of murder,
which sentence was as follows:
"Jose Maria Martin, stand up. Jose Maria
Martin, you have been indicted, tried and
convicted by a jury of your countrymen of
the crime of murder, and the court is now
about to pass upon you the dread sentence
of the law. As a usual thing, Jose Maria
Mnpfin it. is si nainful dutv for the judge of
a court of justice to pronounce upon a human
being the sentence of death. There is
something horrible about it, and the mind of
the court naturally revolts from the performance
of such a duty. Happily, however,
your case is relieved of all such unpleasantness,
and the court takes positive delight in
sentencing you to death.
"You are a young man, Jose Maria Martin,
apparently of good physical constitution
and robust health. Ordinarily you might
have looked forward to many years of
life, and the court has no doubt you have,
and have expected to die at a green old age;
but you are about to be cut off as the consequence
of yourt>wn act. Jose Maria Martin,
it is now in the springtime ; in a little while
the grass will be springing up in these beautiful
valleys, and on these broad messas and
mountain sides flowers will be blooming,
birds singing above your lowly head.
"The sentence of the court is that you be
taken from this place to the county jail;
that you there be kept safely and securely
contined in the custody of the sheriff until
the day appointed for your execution. Be
very careful, Mr. Sheriff, that he shall have
no opportunity to escape, and that you have
him at the appointed place at the appointed
time; that you so be kept, Jose Maria Martin,
until?Mr. Clerk, on what day of the month,
does Friday about two weeks from this time
come ?"
"March 22, your honor." Very well?
until Friday, the 22ud day of March?when
you will be taken from your place of confinement
to some safe and convenient spot
within the county (that is in your discretion,
Mr. Sheriff; you are only confined to
the limits of the county) and that you there
be hanged by the neck until you are dead,
and?the court was about to add, Jose Maria
Martin, 'may God have mercy on your soul,'
but the court will not assume the responsibility
of asking an all wise Providence to do
that which a jury of your own people have
refused to do. The Lord couldn't have mercy
on your soul. However, if you have any
religious belief, or are connected with any
religiousorganization,it might bewell enough
for you to send for your priest or .your minister

"If he has the element of success in him
he will be as successful as his environments
will admit, and as he gets too big for these
he will find other chances open for him to
enter."
"But don't you think there are places
where a man can get a start sooner than in
others?"
"Yes, he may find a place where the channels
are open, with conditions more favorable
for rapid growth, but as a rule every man
has to compel success. He has to literally
conquer the influences that prevent success,
no matter where he goes."
"You find men of fine minds, good health,
excellent reputation, and noted for industry,
who fall right in the midst of thrift. Other
meu will start in the same line of business
with far less promise and succeed. I tell
you, boy, it is in the man, and not in the opportunities.
It is the hustler that works his
way past you, gets his ticket and is in the
circus before you get yours.
"The thing is to make up your mind as to
what you want to do, fit yourself for it, and
then make it your business. Then there is
one other essential to success: Live within
your means."
HIS FIRST UEKEMONV.?A uiuu iicvci
knows what he can do till he tries. When
Mr. Gillespie was first appointed trial justice
for Pumpkintown, he was unexpectedly cornered
by two love smitten persons under
very trying circumstances, not only to the
young people, but also to the new officer,
i Thunder, wind, rain and darkness were
i making the night hideous, when there was a
| sudden alarm at the door. He attended in
; haste to the cause, opened the door, and in
; rushed a young man and a maiden almost
j out of breath. "What'sthe matter?" asked
i the new fledged justice, in great astonishI
ment. "Be quick," said the youth, "vre
j want to be married and the old man is right
i after us with a shot gun." The officer ex'
plained that he had no forms and knew none,
j "Hang the fonns!" said the young man,
"marry us." "If I must, I must," said the
I officer, and while the two joined hands he
i said:
! Dark and dismal is the weather
| That joins this lad and lass together,
i Let none but him who makes this awful thunder,
I Part this man and wife asunder,
j I pronounce you man and wife
j For the term of either's life.
"That's the best I can do for you," said
| the trial justice. "Thank you sir," said the
young man, "and that is the best I can do
! for you," us he dropped a dollar on the tui
ble, and hand in hand they quickly disappeared
in outer darkness.?Pickens (S. l\)
Sentinel.
An Explanation Needed.?"See here,
! sir!" she said, as she entered a sewing ma|
chine office tire other day, your agent has
: imposed upon me."
I "Is it possible, ma'am ? In what respect ?"
I "Yes, sir; he has lied to me, and I don't
wan't your machine!"
"How has he deceived you?"
j "Why, he came into my house and told
i me that your machine was the best in the
j world ; told it right before witnesses, and I
j can prove every word of it."
i "But that was not deceiving you, madam."
"Yes, it was!" I hadn't the machine
two days before another agent called and
said his was Ihe best, and he had a circular
; to back it up. He had hardly got out of
doors when another called and said his maj
chine had taken ten medals."
"But we have taken fifteen ma'am."
| "(), have you?"
"And are sure to get the premium at the
, next world's fair."
"Indeed !"
j "And we have issued a challenge for a
i public trial which no other machine dare
accept."
! "Is that so ? Then your machine is best
: after all ?"

Railroads Employ Many Lawykrs.?
| The general public has little idea of the
enormous sums annually paid out by a raill
road in the settlement of damages. Not
! one claim out of a hundred ever reaches
! the courts. Vou may put it down as a fact
' that when a suit is brought it is only be:
cause a claimant has made an unreasou|
able demand. A large railroad has in
its employ a staff of more than 100 lawyers,
i They are distributed over the line, aud
! although under salary, do not devote all of
j their time to the service of the company.
As soon as word reaches the general office
j that there has been a wreck ami that persons
arc injured, an attache of the olfiee is sent
; to see the individual injured, and, if necessary,
compromise the case. Many peo;
pic are satisfied with a guarantee of the
; doctor's bill or payment for the actual time
! lost from work. With employes oompromisj
es are easily effected. We generally pay
all expenses of the treatment, pay down a
certain sum, and then employ the injured
man as a crossing watchman or in some
such position.?Interview in St. Louis GlobeDemocrat.
All Mail Matter Is' Counted.?Persons
who read the reports of the number of
pieces of mail matter handled at the New
York postoffice may have wondered how the
figures were obtained. The explanation is
simple: Every piece was actually counted.
Every employer who stamps mail matter
must keep an accurate account of the number
of pieces he actually handles and must
make a daily report of the amount of work
he has done. He must not only give the
grand total, but tell what part was in each
of the four classes of mail matter, and also
how the pieces reached the post office.
The lettcus, etc., are mailed at the postoffice,
ill which case they are known as
"drops," collected by carriers, arrive by
trains, or in the case of foreign matter, are
brought by steamers. A report must be
made of every piece that comes in by anyone
of these ways.
When one considers that an average of
about 600,000 letters alone reach the general
postoffice here every day, it will be seen that
the task of counting them is a big one. Let
a person count 1,000 and then try to get
some idea of the labor involved in keeping
a record of 1,000 times that many, and
his head will swim at the thought. As the
counting is done by a number of men, and
the letters are subdivided into batches, the
labor is not so enormous as might at first
be supposed.?New York Tribune.

THE COW
THE CORBIN DISK 11^
Right Now Is Tl
THERE is no doubt of the fact that no farming
implement has ever been offered to the farming
world that has given such universal satisfaction
as the (.'ORPIN DISK HARROW. It is
used in every State and Territory and is heartily
and enthusiastically endowed by every farmer
who has ever usou it, ana tney are uumwa-u ,v (
thousands. Practical funucrs everywhere agree
that it is, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, the most
profitable implement for cultivating the soil and j
putting in grain yet invented. It increases the
crops, saves time and saves labor.
The Harrow is made of tirst-cluss material:
throughout, and with proper care will do good
work for fifteen or twenty years, and will pay [
for itself a dozen times over. The wheels or disks
are made of the very best of steel, and will neither
break, bend or crumble. The disks are not at- ;
fected to any appreciable extent by rocks, and
the Harrow will do good work 011 all kinds of
land.
The following are some of the points of superiority
possessed by the Corbin Harrow :
1. It is the only Disk Harrow that is perfectly .
flexible (i. e. one that will adapt itself to uneven !
surfaces).
2. It is the only Harrow in which the gangs are ,
independent of each other?either can tit or fol- j
low an inequality without disturbing the other, j
.'1. It is the only Harrow having chilled boxes i
and anti-friction balls.
4. It is the only Harrow that lias a successful j
Seeder Attachment.
5. It is the only combined Harrow and Seeder
that covorx every kernel of grain in rows like a
drill.
(1. The Corbin is unoqualod for lightness of
draft and power as a pulverizer.

The Harrow With Seeder Attachment.
Every Corbin Harrow, whatever the size, Is arranged
so that a Seeder can bo attached to it.
The Seed Box and its machinery are of the most
simple and compact character. All its metal
parts arc of malleable or refined wrought iron.
Its weight Is (of the size to tit the No. 7, 12-disk
Harrow) alxwt eighty pounds.
The Seeder Attachment is removable at pleasure.
It locks itself firmly to the Harrow frame
by simply putting it into position. Neither bar,
bolt, wedge, key, screw or pin, is used to fasten
it. Therefore, no hammer, wrench or other tool
is required to attach or detach it. Haifa minute
of time will remove and one minute replace It.
The Harrow and Seeder combined cost about
half as much as a Drill, and is a better tool. It
will sow grain as evenly as any drill, covor it better,
and place it at any depth in the ground. It
is two complete implements in one. It prepares
the field in the best possible manner for seeding
and then sows the crop. It sows RED RUST
PROOF OATS capitally.
The St. Lawrence M't 'g Co., who are the manufacturers
of the Corbin Harrow, recommend
the No. 7 Harrow as being best adapted to general
farm work. It is made in two sizes, viz.: 12
disks, hi inches in diameter, and 6-foot cut, and
the other size has 10 16-inch disks and 5-foot cut.
I keep a few No. 7 12-disk Harrows on hand and
can fill orders promptly.
