pumotous Hqiavtmrnt.j SCRIPLES OVERCOME. The San Jose Mercury prints a story of a certain Captain J . who was a brave ollicer and a good disciplinarian, but nervous and eccentric. He had a mania for roll-calls.' One day he saw pieces of soft bread littered abouttne company streets, unu saoutcu, wun his customary impulsiveness, "Fall in, Company B !" The men fell in, and the roll was j called. Then the captain referred to the J fragments of bread. "Don't let me see any more of this waste?make a mighty good j pudding. Right face, break rauks, inarch !" The story was current, but probably was! not true, that Company B was once called j into lino that the captain might ask which I man it was that owed him ten cents. On another occasion the same captain had command of the guard line, with headquarters in the village of Fall's Church. At the post were a sergeant and half a dozen men. Strict orders were issued against interfering with private property. Soldiers are human, however, plump chickens were near, and the result may be imagined. Early the next morning one of the "loyal" inhabitants presented himself at headquarters with a grievance. His fattest chickens had disappeared during the night, and feathers had been found just outside the picket post. Captain J was indignant, and of course the roll was called. The men were lectured on the sin of chicken-stealing, and a search of haversacks was ordered. The search was made, but not a feather was discovered. Captain J gave a sigh of relief, and the complainant had nothing to do but withdraw. At dinner that day the captain found a plump, juicy chicken, finely roasted, awaiting his attention. lie looked at it, sniffed its aroma, and was about to fall to. but the instinct of the officer stayed his hand. He called his black servant. "Horace, where did this chicken come from ?" "Got him outer yer haversack, cap;n." "Out of my haversack?" The captaiu looked at the chicken, then at the heavens. Then he laid down his knife and fork, sprang to the door and called out, "Fall in!" Again the inevitable roll-call. "Who put that chicken into my haversack ?" he demanded. A smile passed down the line, but there was no response. The demand was repeated in somewhat milder accents, for the fragrance of roast chicken was in the air. Finally the servant spoke. "Captain," he said, "we all had a hand in it. We thought a bit of poultry might be good for you for a change, and your haversack was handy." Captain J called up a serious face, but the chicken had a tempting smell. The lines of his countanence relaxed. "It was a wrong thing to do," he said, "a very wrong thing; but now that the bird is cooked?and it smells like a good one?it would be wicked not to eat it." And eat it he did. At the next roll call he animadverted again upon the offense of plundering non-combatants, and wound up his homily by saying: "I shall hang ray haversack in the same place to night. Kight face! break ranks, march !" ANECDOTE OF GENERAL POLK. * 1 ?< i A JJWlI dlUl J 19 IU1U W1 JLIlOUVp ^VIIV-U ?vu- | tenant-general) Polk of the Confederate army , and another general, whom we will call | "Blank," who now resides in Alabama: During the Georgia campaign, and not long before General Polk was killed at Pine Mountain, he requested General Blank to accompany him to a hill in front of the lines which commanded an excelleut view of the position of the opposing Federal forces. The figures of the two officers, outlined upon the s^y as they stood upon this eminence, offered a tempting mark for some Federal gunners, and in a few moments both lay on the ground, stunned aud senseless from the effect of Federal shells. The fortunes of war had brought together a most distinguished churchman and one of the bravest and most trusted of Forrest's officers. The latter, however, was not at the time noted for extreme piety, but was rather given to the use of vigorous language and forcible expletives, which fact the good bishop knew aud regretted ; he also knew that his present companion was one of the very best and bravest men in the Confederate service. The two officers lay stunned for several minutes. General Blank was the first to re-' cover. Looking about him in a dazed way, | he soon discovered the burly form of his companion, who was breathing heavily, but: evidently coming around all right. In a few moments he heard General Polk mutter: "O Lord ! where am I, where am I?" General Blank, keenly alive to a seuse of grim humor, whispered gently : "In hell, general." ciT ?:ui? }) .1 : ??? i luipussiuic, iiiui liiui c\t uic acuirvuu" scious Polk. "Who is it that tells me so?" "It is I?General Blank," solemnly responded that practical joker. "O Lord," groaned the good bishop, "have mercy on me! If Blank is here I know it must be true!" Me and the Cat.?Richard X. is au incorrigible youngster of ten who has shown a tendency to lay the blame of his misdeeds on other shoulders, llis favorite scapegoat was the family feline. A jar of sweets could not be opened, or a bit of gingerbread purloined, or a vase broken to atoms, without a lame excuse of Dick's, "I guess it was the , eat," calling forth his mother's reproaches: "Richard, you must not lay the blame on the cat of all the wickedness you are guilty of in this house." Not long after one of these upbraidings, in Sunday school, his teacher asked Richard the question, apropos of the devil's power on earth. "Who is responsible for the wickedness of this world?" It was with a mixture of a contrite spirit and the old habit that little Dick answered : "Well, I suppose thaC* I'm partly to blame. But?but I think our cat has her paw in it." 4ST The servant quest/ton, though a dcci-1 dedly vexatious one, has still its humorous side, that brightens up the gloom of the more sombre incidentals. A friend of a writer in the New York Telegram, desiring a waitress, advertised for tlie same, and many and varied were the applicants for the place.

"Vis, ma'am." "Do you understand the duties of such a position ?" "I do, ma'am." "Have you ever waited on the table?" "Xo, ma'am. The last family where I wurked did their own rachin', but I think I could learn." SfiT A wearied parent, promenading the bedroom tloor at an unearthly hour of the night, with the baby in his arms, was making vain endeavors to soothe the infant's cries. "It seems to me you knew what you were about," he said to his wife, "when you insisted on the child being called 'Hugh.'" "What has his name to do with his fretful' ness?" asked the unsuspicious wife, sleepily. "Everything," replied the wretched man. "You would call him 'Hugh,' you know, and where there's a hue there's a cry !" And for the next two hours the child did his level best to live up to his name.

There is now, as well as for several years past, a spirit of discontent and restlessness among our farmers caused by a lack of prosperity. A casting about for some change more profitable; something that will give more ready money than the farm, with its nnnne oti/3 nt*w?ftC ntlil ll\n lit 1 DllUi 1/ tlUJFO (UIVI OliUI VVi I'llVVOj (Ml\? I1IV 4iv?>v demand for the little that is to sell from the farm. There arc only two courses open to us. The one to leave the farm and go to the town and seek a better paying business. The other to stick to the farm and change methods, and add new lines and more intelligent methods until the farm will pay. Now which will you choose? It must be the one or the other. There is no escape from making the choice ; there is no way out of it. "We have gone on with poor farming from year to year until we have gone about as far as we can go. Our lands are impoverished, many are in debt, and the general condition of many of our farms is pitiful to behold. We spoke last week of the increase of population in the towns at the expense of the rural districts, as shown by the United States census. This is due to the causes ahove spoken of. These farmers who are abandoning the farm for the town, will tell you that they are making the change in order to educate their children, and to give them social advantages. But the real cause is that they have failed of success. They have either lacked the energy, intelligence or business habits necessary to success in any business requiring these qualifications. So far as educating their children is concerned, in the cases of most of those who desert the farm for the town for this purpose, the expense of house rent and the increased cost of the necessaries of life, as well as many other expenses that would not be incurred in a life upon the farm, would hire a good teacher in the country; and as far as society is concerned, it is a matter of grave doubt whether or not any advantage that might result from association with this socalled town society, might not be overbalanced by other disadvantages. If you want your boy to learn to tie his cravat in the latest style, to gracefully handle the seductive cigarette, or to do a great many other things more ornamental than useful or manly, he will get this kind of education faster, I and more perfectly in the town, than in the country. My opinion is that in a majority of cases j the reasons above given are not the true! cues. The farmer has tried one way of J farming and has found that it does not pay. lie has not had the vim, energy and perseverance, if he had the intelligence, to start aut aright in the right way to success on the Tarm. There is a way to farm and farm successfully. We have examples before our eyes in every community. It is of no use to say that poor labor and poor prices prohibit successful farming. It has been done and is now being done. There is no royal path to success in any pursuit. Success is the reward of patience, toil, care and the employment of intelligent methods. There are no remedies pleasant to the taste of the ills that our farmers are now suffering from. The medicine is unpalatable, but it must be swallowed regularly and continued for a long Lime before we recover from our diseases. The quack doctors will be around this summer. I mean the politicians. They are going to many of your houses to see you and tell you why you are not prospering, and those they do not visit they will invite to come out to public meetings, and they will get upon a stump aud tell you exactly what is the matter with you, and if you will corae out and vote for them?that is, place your case in their hands for treatment?they will remove all your diseases; that the doctors you have had in the past did not understand your case, and some of these quacks will tell you that the doctors you have had in the past, wanted to keep you sick so they could make money out of you. If you want a day's amusement, it is well enough to go and listen to these fellows; but the world over, these quacks are a bad lot, and it won't do for you farmers to take too much of their medicine. I believe in our own home-made remedies for most of o.ur ills. Improve the farm, make home attractive so the boys will not want to leave it, get good stock and keep them nice and comfortable, and, above all, make farm life enjoyable and abandon the practice of loafing at the stores and talking hard times, and keep out of debt. If you can't pay for a thing; don't buy it. The farmer who has a good home and plenty to eat for man and beast, should be happy without money in these days when he knows that millions of his fellow creatures in the cities are destitute of food. How much work has been done on our farms since last July except sowing a few acres of small grain and gathering a small crop? Idleness has been the rule among our farmers?work the exception. Those who have worked the least complain the loudest of the hard times. But when the farmer, like the mechanic and business man, is found with his business every day in the year, lie is succeeding and is satisfied with results. You need not say there is nothing to do. Kvery fanner worthy of the name and of his high and honorable **>i 11 i 11 tr lute <i? much tn do tliiiL lie wishes that there were more than 3(55 days in a year. Don't forget what I told you about those quarks that will he around this summer. They can't cure you; you must apply the remedy yourself. Sowing Skkds.?The time will soon arrive for general seed sowing, and a hint or two in regard to it may not be out of place. Much that is sown never appears, and the seedman is charged with selling old or poor seeds. Sometimes this may be so, but very often it is the sower's own fault. There is much more art in sowing seeds successfully than people suppose, and yet it is very simple when understood. Many seeds are sown too deep, and yet if not deep enough they will dry up and not grow atall. The depth must be determined by the size of the seed and the character of the soil. If the soil be light and sandy, there is not so much danger of the seeds rotting from deep sowing as if the soil be stiff; and even in stiff soil the depth will have to he determined by the condition of the soil. Suppose we are to sow a piece of oats, in land that is liable to become clotty, and this is the distinction between light and heavy land. If we can roll the land after sowing it would not matter much about sowing deep; but the seed would have to be harrowed in pretty well if left in a clotty condition unrolled. Indeed, if the seed were sown on * ' * f A 1 1 1 * | 11 ground simply nisi narrowed ;nui men rowed, in such land as we have described, many more seeds would do well then if harrowed before rolling. In other words, shallow sowing, if the ground is well pulverized and pressed firm, is more favorable than deep planting with a rough surface. Finely pulverized soil, with a well-pressed surface, is indeed the very best conditions for success with all seeds; and the shallowest kind of sowing, so that the seeds be firmly imbedded in the soil, is the essence of good seed -sowing.?(Jerinantown Telegraph. ?

"I've seen a good many strange things in i my time, as you know, but I've never yet told you about the strangest of them all; and I onn promise you that it's a story worth hearing." So spoke (icncrnl H., as we sat side by side ! in the veranda of his snug little house in one | of the northwestern provinces of India,| watching the sun sink behind the endless! line of stately palm trees that stood ranged ' like plumed soldiers along the opposite hank ! of the river. "Suppose you tell it to nu; now, general," suggested I, guessing from the grave look on the old hero's weather beaten face that the forthcoming story must have deeper interest than any of his ordinary campaigning anecdotes. "I don't mind if I do," answered the veteran ; "for although it is on affair that I have no great pleasure in looking back upon, yet it taught me a good lesson, if only I had the sense to profit by it. "When I was quite a young fellow, and hadn't long joined the army," he resumed, after a pause, "I used to belong to a fashionable club in London, the members of which were just the sort of men you read about in Lever's novels?as wild as wild could he; always in some scrape or other ; and spending their whole time in riding, shooting, gambling or fighting?all except one. "That one was a small, quiet, pale-faced, gray-haired man, with a very sad, weary I look, as if he had once been crushed by some | great sorrow, and had never been able to shake it oflT. He hardly ever spoke to any one, and when he did it was in a voice as meek as his face. So of course we made great fun of him among ourselves, finding these quiet ways of his a very queer contrast to our own rackety, harumscarum style, and we nicknamed him the 'Quietest Man in the Club,' though, indeed, we might just as well have called him the only quiet man in it. "Well, one evening when the room was pretty full, and our friend, the Quiet Man, was sitting as usual in the far corner, away from everybody else, we began to talk about duelling; a subject with which we were all tolerably familiar, for there was hardly a man among us who hadn't been 'out' once. " 'They did some tidy duelling in the old times,' said Lord H., who was killed afterward in action. 'You remember how those I six chums of Henry III of France fought I three to three, till there was only one left : alive out of the six.' " 'That was pretty fair, certainly,' cried Charlie Thornton of the Guards ; 'but, after j all, it doesn't beat the great duel thirty years ago, between Sir Henry Martingale and Colonel Fortescue.v J "He had hardly spoken, when up jumped the Quiet Man as if somebody had stuck a pin into him. I " 'What, on earth's the matter with him ?" whispered Thornton ; 'I never saw him like that before.' " 'But what was the story, then, Charlie?' asked another man ; 'I've heard of Fortescue. of course, for he was the most famous duellist of his time in all England ; and I've heard of his fight with Martingale, too ; but I don't think I've ever had any particulars, or, at least, none worth speaking of." " 'I can give them to you then,' answered Thornton ; 'for my uncle was Martingale's second. I've heard him tell the story many a time, and he always said that although he had been in plenty of duels, he had never seen one like that, and never wanted to see it again. What they quarreled about I don't know, and I dare say they didn't know themselves; but my uncle used to say he knew by the look in their eyes when they took their places to fire that it would not end without blood, and it didn't. They fired twice, and every shot told ; and then their seconds, seeing that both men were hard hit and bleeding fast, wanted to put an end to it. But Fortescue?who was one of those grim fellows who are always most dangerous toward the end of a fight?insisted upon a third shot. The third time, by some accident, Martingale fired a moment too soon, and gave him a bad wound in the the side ; but Fortescue pressed his hand to the wound to stop the bleeding, and then, almost bent double with pain though he was, lie brought down his man.' " 'Killed him ?" " 'Bather?shot him slap through the heart. But it was his last duel, for from that day he was never heard of again ; and people said he had either committed suicide or died of a broken heart.' "'Well, I don't see why he need have j done that, for, after all, it was a fair fight,' I struck in Lord II., who had been looking over the newspapers on the table; 'but if I you talk of duelling, what do you say to this?' "'Another Duelling Tragedy in Paris. The notorious Parisian bully and duellist, Armand de Yilleneuve, has just added another wreath to his blood stained laurels, the new victim being the Chevalier Henri de Polignac, a fine young fellow of twentythree, the only son of a widowed mother. Some strong expressions of disgust used by I the chevalier with reference to one of I)e Yilleneuve's former duels haying come to I the hitter's ears, he sought out De Polignac, I and insulted him so grossly as to render a ' meeting inevitable.

Choose pistols? give yourself a chance?" j " ' "Pistols may miss?swords can't," an-! swered the stranger, in a tone of such savage j determination that every one who heard him?even De Yillcnueve himself, furious: though he was?gave a kind of shudder. "I | had vowed never to tight again, save with a ' man who deserved to die; hut you have deserved it well by your cold-blooded mur-' dors, and die you shall!" " 'Where both sides were so eager to tight, there was no need of much preparation. They met that evening, Colonel de Malet being the stranger's second, and another! French o Hi cor acting for Do Villoneuvc. " 'As a rule, Do Yilleniive was as cool on the ground as if he had been at a picnic: hut at this time lie was as wild and fierce as a tiger?partly, no doubt, from having been! insulted before so many of his admirers, but also because he had found out that the! stranger was an Englishman, and he hated j everything English like poison. Hut more terrible than all his fury was the cold, stern,; pitiless calmness of the Englishman's face,! as if he felt certain of his man. "They fought for some time without a scratch on either side, and then the Englishman stumbled forward, exposing his left j side. Quick as lightning the Frenchman's point darted in, and instantly the other's shirt was all crimson with blood; but the moment he felt the steel pierce him, he made a thrust with all his strength, and buried his sword up to the hilt in De Yilleneuvc's body. | Then I understood that he had deliberately j laid himself open to his opponent's weapon ! in order to make sure of killing him ; so he had, for De Villeneuve never spoke again.' "just as the doctor said this, down fell a chair with a great crash, and, looking up, we saw the Quiet Man trying to slip past us to the door. Dr. Lansett sprang up and caught him by both hands. " 'You here?' lie cried. 'Let me congratulate you upon having punished, as he deserved, the most cold-hearted cutthroat in existence. I trust your wound does not j pain you much V" "'What?' we all shouted, 'was it he who killed De Villeneuve?' "'Indeed it was,' answered the doctor, 'and it was the pluckiest thing I ever'saw.' "We all jumped up from our chairs, and came crowding round the hero, setting up' a cheer that made the air ring; but he look-1 ed at us so sadly and darkly that it made i the shout die upon our lips. '"Ah, lads! lads!' said he, 111 a tone ot' deep dejection, 'for Heaven's sake don't! praise a man for having shed blood and destroyed life. I killed that ruffian as I would have killed u wild beast, to save those whom lie would have slaughtered; hut (Jod help the man who shall take a human life merely to gratify his own pride and anger!
