\ A SERIOUS JOKE. ] Recently two of Mr. Duffy's neighbors determined to abduct a pet calf belonging to tnat gentleman, and Mr. Duffy became aware of their scheme. Therefore he quietly removed the calf from the box-stall in which it was confined and in the place of it introduced a goat of the William gender and a very vicious disposition. He also fixed a spring on the door of the stall, that would ? cause it to close unless held open, and he also attached to the door a spring lock that would fasten, and could only be unfastened from the outside. Then he went to bed, but not to sleep. It was at the witching hour of midnight that the two marauders entered Mr. Duffy's barn. They had examined the premises the day before and knew exactly where to go. Each of them carried a dark lantern. They entered the stall and the door closed behind them. Everything was still. One of them opened the slide of his lantern. Then there was a clatter of hoofs and the man with the lantern found himself piled up in a corner, very much surprised. He thought it was the queerest calf he had ever met. Then the other man opened the slide to his lantern to see what the matter was, and the next instant the breath went but of him with a "yah" that made the listening Duffy laugh all over. Then all was still again except the faint profanity of the men, and finally the man who was hit first recovered enough to paw around and hnd his lantern. It was extinguished, but he got out a match and lighted it again. Then he turned the bull's eye towaid the goat, and went on the corner again. The goat's blood being aroused, he didn't wait for fhrther lights, but began to butt around promiscuously, and the robbers concluded it was time to get out. But that didn't prove so easily done. Then they began to yell for help, and Mr. Duffy could tell when the goat hit them, because instead of yelling "help!" they cried "oh!" and' after he had laughed till his sides ached, he went and let them out on condition that they wouldn't try to carry off the goat, and when they stepped out of the ham, he jumped and stamped and yefled that the goat was after them, and they screamed "murder" and ran three miles down the road before they stopped for breath. Duffy still keeps the calf. Under an Assumed Name.?While Dr. 'x Keeley was in Chicago, on his return from Europe, an anxious man called at the hotel i and declared that he must see the great phy- 1 sician. i "He is out," replied a doctor who had < charge of one of the Keeley branch insti- i tutes. "I am mighty scrry to hear it, for I want i to see him particularly. I was treated at i Dwight some time ago for intemperance and < want to see him about my case." f "Perhaps I can serve you. I have charge of one his braneh establishments. You say ] that you were at Dwight ?" ] "Yes, sir." < "But you haven't been drinking again, ] have you?" ] "Oh, no." 1 "'Well, have you had any desire to drink ?" 1 "None at all." "But you are afraid the old desire will < come back, eh ?" < "No, it ain't that. In fact my case is rath- ? er a peculiar one. I was ashamed to go to ] Dwight, but I went, and was treated under j an assumed name. Now, what I want to < know is, will that make any difference ?" i "Why, in what way ?" j "In the way of my drinking again." j "Of coarse not." "Well, now, I didn't know but that having been treated under an assumed name I might get drunk again under my own name. 80 you don't think I'll have any trouble. Well, I'm obliged to you." Tall Corn.?Uncle Billy Manion, Jerry Ridgeway, Reese Wilkerson and Henry Weatherington were toasting their shins about a comfortable back log in Adam Shane's store, discussing the good old days of forty. Uncle Jerry had raised some of the finest corn on the Wabash, down in Ink, diana, that it had been his good fortune to see. There was no country like the Wabash for corn. Uncle Billy Manion thought the finest corn in the world was raised on the Missouri river. Reese Wilkerson declared that the Des Moines river country, in Iowa, raised more bushels to the cob than anybody's country. Uncle Henry Weatherington sat by silently and heard all their big corn stories, and put in: "Talking about corn," said he, "in thirty-eight I put in a crop of corn down on the Scioto bottoms, in Ohio, and it grew so rapidly that to measure its growth, I selected a hill and stuck up a s handspike by it, and do you believe me, it c grew just six inches a day. After it grew c above the spike I paid no more attention to c it, and forgot all about it till the fall when gathering the crop I found it, and blast me 1 if there wasn't three full ears on each stalk t and a darned big one on the handspike." 1 At this Uncle Jerry mode a break for the 1 open air, but tears that would fill a table- t spoon collected in the corners of Uncle Bil- 1 ly's and Reese's eyes, and it was evident that t they were deeply moved. How it Affected Him.?-He got home c late, but his little daughter was still up and * was as inquisitive as usual. 1 He lifted her up and kissed her, and as he A put her down she said: . "Papa, do you have to work nights ?" "Sometimes, my dear," he replied. "Why, papa ?" she asked. ( "To get money to buy little girls clothes," 3 he returned. "And toys," she went on. She thought the matter over for a moment. j Then she said: J "I don't believe it's good for you to work nights, papa." "Why not?" he asked. * "It always makes your breath smell so * bad."?Chicago Tribune. Reviving a Drowned Man.?A man, ( while fishing, suddenly fell into the water, x A fellow fisherman of benevolent aspect J promptly helped him out, laid him on his > back and then began to scratch his head in ? a puzzled way. "What's the matter?" 1 asked the bystanders. "Why don't you re- l vive him ?" "There are sixteen rules to re- g vive drowned persons," said the benevolent ? man, "and I know 'em all; but I can't call i to mind which comes first." At this point ^ the rescued man opened his eyes and said j faintly: "Is there anything about giving c brandy in the rules ?" "Yes." "Then nev- ^ er mind the other fifteen." ^ J^They don't speak now. They were ^ engaged to be married, and called each other by their first names?Tom and Fanny? and he was telling her how he had always * liked the name of Fanny, and how it sound- * ed like music in his ears. "I like the name J so well," he added, as a sort of clincher to ; the argument, "that when sister Clara asked * me to name her terrier, I at once named it * Fanny, after you, dearest." "I don't think * that was very nice," said the fair girl, edg- J ing away from him. "How would you like f to have a dog named after you ?" "Why, 1 that's nothing," said Tom, airily; "half the 1 cats in the country are named after me." *@" A colored "friend and brother" in a \ Southern State, twenty years or more ago, ^ was made a trial justice, says the Lewiston z Journal, and presently heard his first case, t He listened to the evidence and the argu- < ments of the lawyers, and then seemed at a 1 loss what to do next. Seeing his dilemma, i one of the lawyers nudged him. "Now ( charge the jury," said the lawyer; "charge the jury." The justice thereupon rose and said, "Bredren, dis am a small case, an' I j shell charge but a dollar an' a half." i W3T Parson Gridley is very much opposed j to dancing. He said recently to a young lady of his congregation, "Are you one of those giddy girls to whom dancing is a J heavenly pastime?"

We must have a model, an example, a living, working, successful man, if we are to pattern After him. Most men, who think at all upon this subject, have an idea of what such a man ought to be and what he ought to accomplish. Some farmers have a hobby?a specialty, which they ride and for which they will make some efforts, and even sacrifices, to obtain or accomplish. Generally speaking, the American farmer pursues what is termed mixed husbandry, and it is often so mixed for success or failure, that he himself cannot tell whether he succeeds best, if he succeeds at all, as a breeder of live stock or a raiser of grain, or as a dairyman or a shepherd. Robert Bonner may be called an ideal breeder of trotting horses. He studies the subject. He had rather ride behind a span of horses which can go in 2.20 without a whip than to sit down to the most sumptuous banquet. He is an enthusiast on that subject. No one, however, would call him a man of one idea. If he has but one idea it is the trotting horse. To his honor be it recorded here that he is the last man who would abuse a trotting horse, or to bet and gamble on his performance. The ideal farmer has and practices certain maxims. For instance, "a place for everything and everything in its place." Suppose him in bed in the night; ask him for the loan of an auger and he will tell you the exact spot where it can be found; or an axe, or harness, or part thereof, or any kind of a X y 3 1 ?? ? ?.1?

He knows that "like produces like," therefore he provides or raises the best of seeds of all kinds of grain or vegetables. He knows that it is advantageous to change seeds from place to place, even at the distance of hundreds of miles; therefore he is in constant correspondence with successful men in their particular branch of industry, and with these he changes, or of such he buys, even at extra cost. He knows that the family garden is the source of great comfort and a good table ; therefore he cultivates it deep, manures it highly with the best fertilizers, heme-made or bought, and in time. He knows that it will not be profitable to keep work animals that are unsound; hence he ships them the first chance. He appreciates the fact that breeding animals should be the most perfect of their kinds ; therefore, he would not breed a ring-boned, spavined, big-headed, sway-backed horse, if the same had a pedigree twice as long as the moral law. He is well posted as to the quality of the milk he draws from certain cows and will not retain an unprofitable beast in his stalls; except just long enough to fatter, her for the shambles. He knows that to neglect an orchard once planted is death to the trees; therefore he prunes them judiciously, cultivates them iiligently, removes all the fruit that drops prematurely, destroys all the iusect foes he possibly can, remembers when each particular fruit ripens and gathers it in time, either for market or home use. If he has children?and thank God most children are found in the fam.lies of farmjrs?he remembers that old familiar saying: 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull x>y; while all play and no work makes him i mere toy;" therefore, while h8 trains his jhildren to diligence, industry and thoroughness, he gives them liberal opportunities to ndulge wisely in harmless sports, recreation ind amusements. On the other hand he is not so foolish as :o keep continually dinging in the ears of his sons and daughters the old story : " y our nother and I had a hard life in our youth; it's i wonder we are still alive; but you shall not vork hard, soil your fine clothes and spoil he shapely hands you have; not if we can lelp it. That's the kind of talk that makes he other proverb true, viz.: "There are but hree generations between shirfc sleeves." The ideal farmer prizes his dwelling and mtbuildings and appreciates the comforts ind contents these give to him and his famiy and his domestic animals. Therefore he :eeps them in good repair, treats them to a food coat of paint every two years, and nakes everything about him so pleasant and :heerf\il that when his boys return from ehool, or his daughters from the seminary, he first thing after a hearty greeting father ind mother hears is: "There is no place ike home."?Chas. W. Murtfeldt, in The Republic. EFFECT OF WATER ON HORSES. A horse can live twenty-five days without olid food, merely drinking water; seventeen lays without either eating or drinking; and >nly five days when eating solid food without drinking. An idea prevails among horsemen that a lorse should never be watered oftener than hree times a day, or in twenty-four hours. This is not only a mistaken idea but a very >rutal practice. A horse's stomach is exremely sensitive, and will suffer under the east interference, causing a feverish condiion. Feeding a horse principally on grain and lriving it five hours without water is like fiving a man salt mackerel for dinner and lot allowing him to drink until supper time? ery unsatisfactory for the man. If you know anything about the care of lorses and have any sympathy for them, vater them as often as they want to drink? >nce an hour, if possible. By doing this, rou will not only be merciful to your aninals, but you will be a benefactor to yourlelf, as they will do more work; they will >e healthier; they will look better; and will >e less liable to coughs and mlds, and will ive longer. If you are a skeptic and know more ibout horses than any one else, you are posi,ive that the foregoing is wi ong, because you iave had horses to die with watering them oo much, and boldly say that the agitat ors >f frequent watering are fools in your estination, and you would not do shch a thing, lust reason for a moment, and figure out vhether the animal would have over-drank ind over-chilled its stomach if it had not )een allowed to become over-thirsty. A lorse is a great deal like a man. Let him jet overworked, over starved, or abused, ind particularly for want of sufficient drink n warm weather, and the consequences vill always be injurious. Sensible hostlers n large cities are awaked to the advantages >f frequent watering. Street car horses are vatered every hour, and s ometimes oftener, vhile they are at work. It is plenty of vater that supplies evaporation or perspiraion and keeps down the temperature. What old fogy methods, amount to may >e seen by the change in medical practice to nan. Twenty years ago a person having a ever of any kind or pneumonia was allowed mt little water to drink, and then it had to >e tepid. Today practitioners prescribe all he iced water the patient can possibly drink; ind in addition, cold bandages are applied to educe and control the temperature of the ilood. What is applicable to man will never njure a horse. Use common sense and hunan feeling. Don't think it is a horse and :apable of enduring any and all things. A Iriver who sits in his wagon and lashes his vorn out, half curried, half-fed and halfvatered team should never complain of any ibuse he may receive from his master or imployer, for he is lower in character, hard>r in sympathy and less noble than the irutes he is driving, and deserves, in the lame ot all tnat is numan, me puuisniucut if a criminal.?The Chicago Clay Journal. Destroying Moths with Salt.?For noths salt is the best exterminator. The luns in one of the hospital convents have tried everything else without success, and ;heir experience is valuable, as they have so nuch clothing of the sick who go there, and Grangers, when dying there, often leave quantities of clothing, etc. They had a room full of feathers, which were sent there for pillow making, and they were in despair, as they could not exterminate the moths until they were advised to try common salt. They sprinkled it around, and in a week or ;en days were altogether rid of the moths. They are never troubled now. In heavy velvet carpets sweeping them with salt deans and keeps them from moths, as particles of the salt remain in the carpets and jorners. Salt is not hurtful to any one, and tias no bad smell. Here is a little hint I add, which perhaps, every one does not know: For cleaning wash-basins, baths, etc., use the same thing, common dry salt. Hub a little of the salt with your fingers on the jasiu. Often a sort of scum is noticed in the basins in a marble washstand in the aathroom; the salt takes it off easily, and eaves the basin shining and clean.?Phiialelphia Press. Jfot tlw pome BETTING AND GAMBLING. The Rev. Charles Kingsley on a certain . occasion wrote a letter to a public school boy in England, which was afterwards , printed and widely circulated. Just such stirring words are needed for our youth: My Dearest Boy?There is a matter which gave me much unpleasantness when you mentioned it. You said you had put into some lottery for the Derby, and had hedged to make safe. Now, all that is bad, bad nothing but bad. Of all habits, gambling is the one I hate i most and have avoided most. Of all habits, it grows most on eager minds. Success and loss alike make it grow. Of all habits, however much civilized men may give way to it is the most intrinsically savage. Historic- . ally, it has been the peace excitement of the ' lowest brutes in human form for ages past. Morally, it is unchivalrous and non-Christian. 1. It gains money by the lowest and most 1 unjust means, for it takes money out of your neighbor's pocket without giving him any- ' thing in return. < 2. It tempts you to use what you fancy your superior knowledge of a horse's merits 1 or anything else to your neighbor's harm. ] If you know better than your neighbor, you are bound to give him your advice. In- i stead, you conceal your knowledge to win , from his ignorance; hence come all sorts of concealments, dodges, deceits. I say the | devil is the only father of it. ^ I hope you have not won. I should not be sorry for you to lose. If you have won, . I shall not congratulate you/ If you wish to please me, you will give back to its lawful owners the money you have won. As you had put in, you could not in honor draw back till after the event. Now, you can give back your money, saying you understand 1 that the head-master and I disapprove of 5 such things, and so gain a very great moral influence. f Recollect always that the stock argument J is worthless. It is this: "My friend would i win from me if he could, therefore, I have an equal right to win from him." Nonsense. The same argument would prove that I have { a right to maim or kill a man if I only give s him leave to maim or kill me. I have spoken my mind, once and for all, ( on a matter on which I have held the same ( views for more than twenty years, and trust ] in God you will not forget my words in after life. ( I have seen many a good fellow ruined by { finding himself one day short of money and j trying to get a little by play or betting and then the Lord have mercy on his simple soul, ? for simple it will not long remain. Mind, I am not in the least angry with j you. Betting is the way of the world. So are all the seven deadly sins, under cetain rules and pretty names; but to the devil 1 they lead, if indulged in, in spite of the wise 1 world and its wise ways. Your loving * Triend, C.

It is well to remember that 1 - .1-! 1J U t the time never win come in uus worm wucu we shall have everything we want, just where and when we want it. The only way to be I happy is to enjoy all we have to the utmost i as we go along. It is right to lay up for t old age in youth ; right to prepare for a rainy day ; but it is not right to bend all our ener- r gies to this end, and put off until the future t the happiness we might enjoy every day. It is ] too common to see people working and sav- c ing, denying themselves all recreation and many comforts, to lay up money to buy more ( land, to build a larger and finer house, to e save for their children, thinking when they t have accomplished this they will be happy, . and begin to take comfort. The hoped for point may never be attained; or if it is, sick- . ness or death may have come first, and the dear ones whom we expected to be happy .( with may be gone forever. How much better to use some of the good things of life as we go along; to make our humble homes cheery and bright as possi- * ble now, instead of waiting for a better c house! Do not starve today, either body, I mind, or soul, thinking that you will riot c tomorrow. Do not hoard and scrimp through all the best years of your life, that you may o be generous in your wills. Life is uncertain, 1 and it is better to make your children hap- c py while they are under the home roof; to < ' call to that home every agency which will make their lives sweeter and better, than to ' deny them these that you may leave them 1 a large bank account when you are gone. 1 Do not keep the parlor shut up and live in 1 the kitchen, unless you want the boys and 1 girls to be anxious to leave you. Take time to read, to rest, to enjoy the society of friends. ? Especially take time to enjoy the compan- c ionship of your children. It will only be a ^ few years at best that they will be with you, r and those ought to be years of happiness to j both you and them. If we are ever happy in this life, we must enjoy what every day ^ brings. We must be grateful and glad for n all the good which comes into our lives, and patiently bear our trials, believing that all, c if rightly used, will fit us for the enjoyment j, of perfect happiness. THINK BEFORE YOU STRIKE. { I remember reading in my boyhood about , a merchant traveling on horseback, accom- . panied by his dog. He dismounted for some ^ ' purpose and accidentally dropped his pack- a age of money. The dog saw it, the merchant f did not. The dog barked to stop him, and 1 as he rode farther, bounded in front of the a horse and barked louder and louder. The jj merchant thought he had gone mad, drew a " pistol from his holster and shot him. The c wounded dog crawled back to the package, and when the merchant discovered his loss t and rode back, he found his dying dog lying t there, faithfully guarding the treasure. a The following little story, told by a friend t of mine, is not so painful, but adds force to i' the thought, think before you strike any creature that cannot speak. v "When I was a boy and lived up in the e mountains of New Hampshire, I worked for 1' a farmer and was given a span of horses to li plow with, one of which was a four-year-old u colt. The colt, after walking a few steps would lie down in the furrow. The farmer s was provoked, and told me to sit on the colt's a head, to keep him from rising while he 1 Whipped him, to break him of that notion, t as he said. But just then a neighbor came t by. He said. "There is something wrong f here, let him get up and let us examine." He patted .the colt, looked at the harness and v then said: 'Look at this collar; it is long n and narrow, and carries the harness so high n that when he bigins to pull it slips back and t chokes him so ho cannot breathe.' And so J it was; and but for that neighbor, we would t have whipped as kind a creature as we had on the farm, because he laid down when he j could not breathe." y It was only the other day I heard of a val- j, uable St. Bernard dog being shot because _ having a wound on his head, concealed by * the hair, he bit a person who handled him c roughly. Boys, young and old, please re- j member that these creatures are dumb. They may be hungry, or thirsty, or cold, or faint, or sick, or bruised, or wounded, and ? cannot tell you. Think before you strike ' any creature that cannot speak.?Presby- * terian. c , t , t Poon Girls.?The poorest girls in the ^ world are those not taught to work. There ? are thousands of them, lticli parents have 1 petted them, and they have been taught to '" despise labor and depend upon others for a | living, and are perfectly helpless. The most ] forlorn women belong to this class. It is the duty of parents to protect their daughters from this deplorable condition. They do them a great wrong if they neglect it. Every daughter should be taught to earn her own living. The rich as well as the poor require this training. The wheel of fortune rolls swiftly round?the rich are likely to become poor and the poor rich. Skill added to labor is no disadvantage to the rich and is indispensable to the poor. Well-to-do parents must educate their daughters to work; no reform is more imperative than this. Cannot See Through.?There are many things we cannot see through, but none that we cannot look above. It is said that John Wesley was once walking with a brother who related to him his troubles, saying he did not know what he should do. They were at that moment passing a stone fence to a mead- j ow over which a cow was looking. "Do you . know," asked Wesley, why the cow looks ^ over the wall?" "No," replied the one in < trouble. "I will tell you," said Wesley; i "Because she cannot look through it; and 1 that is what you must do with your itrou- !! bles?look above them." iitfagsiidc Gatherings. 8?"

MORE MONEY FOR THE STATE OF GEORGIA. o The Widows and Helpless Children Provided for by the Prompt and Liberal Action of the Mataal Reserve Life Association?Two Dollars for One in Their Time of Need. From the Atlanta Journal. THE Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association of New York, is a great beneficent organisation. It has paid a large amount of money into the n State of Georgia at small cost to policyholders. J Its plan is the most equitable that can be devised. Its security to policy holders is absolute. Its rates are the most reasonable; and its promptness and fairness in adjusting and paying its death losses in full and before due, is not excelled, if equalled, ? by any other life insurance company in existence. It has the largest clean cash surplus for its age, and the best protection for its policyholders, of any life insurance company in the world. The plan of this company to,pay backjto the policyholder the unearned premium at any time death may occur, as in the case of Mr. H. C. Pennington, of Madison, Ga., recited below, is one of fairness and justice that will commend itself to all thoughtful persons. Facts are better than theories, and deeds bring more substantial ( relief in time of need than fair promises. The statements below speak for the promptness and reliability of this great insurance company, and the readers of The Journal will do well to investigate the merits of the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association before placing their insurance. Madison, Ga., Sept. 4, 1891. T. H. Jones, General Manager Mutual Reserve a n J T 1 A I-AI A r\n i J r una ijiie .association, auhhui, uu. . n Dear Sir?My husband, H. C. Pennington, decased, held a policy for $3,000 in your company, the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Associa- J tion, which he took out about two years ago. I am tbisday in receipt of $3,000, paid to me in full and before due, without any expense or trouble to myself. I am; also in receipt of a check for $10.80, returned to me as part of the premium which my husband had paid to the Mutual Reserve. (Unearned.) I feel that I can safely recommend this company to all desiring life insurance at reasonable rates. Thanking you and the company for your promptness and kind attention in this matter, Yours truly, Mrs. Lena Pennington. The same amount of money which was paid to the Mutual Reserve for the above would have purchased only one-half the amount in tho old system level premium companies; and the money of the Mutual Reserve is Just as good, and will go twice as far as the amount they would have received under the old system of insurance for the same amount expended in premiums. The following is taken from a recent issue of the Barnwell, S. C., Sentinel, and shows very clearly tho standing of the Mutual Reserve in j; that section: p We desire to call the attention of the public to a the acknowledgment of $2,000 paid by tne Mutu- tl al Reserve Fund Life Association to Mrs. liaicer. a This great and growing company is of world- fi wide reputation, extending its benignai.t sway b over the United States and Canada; as, also, the e most enlightened countries of Europe. It has p gained the confidence and support of the most p intelligent advocates of life insurance, and in ten s years has attained the first place amongst natu- il ral premium companies, and is now the fou^h c in size of all life companies of any denomination p in the world. We commend it to our people for cheap and sound insurance. v The following is thd acknowledgment of Mrs. ii Baker: 8 Mr. L. H. Hay, Agent Mutual Reserve. e Dear Sir?Allow me to express to you my il high appreciation of the promptness with which o the claim of my late husband, Mr. T. N. Baker, t for 82,000, has been paid. It is but another v amongst hnndreds of instances which testify to s the stability, worth and beneficence of the great r and popular company which you represent. c Julia C. Baker. it If you have insurance in an old line company ^ and your premiums are becoming burdensome, I can give you relief by writing you a policy in a the Mutual Reserve. The annual cost for a policy p of the same amount as the one you are now car- p rying in the old line company, will be about onehalf as much. Would that relieve you any? f Any desired infonnation with regard to cost, ^ etc., will be cheerfully furnished. p J. S. BRICE, General Agent, t Yorkville, S. C. J . t RICHMONDAND DANVILLE R. R.
