Very Hard to Please.?There is a chap in a neighboring town who has acquired the habit of going by a fruit stand, and after pricing the melous, etc., and eating about 5 cents worth of peanuts, objects to the price and doesn't buy. Recently the fruit man made up his mind to sell him something anyhow. "How much are these melons?" inquired the peanut fiend. "Five cents a piece." "Can I pick my melon ?" "Take the biggest you can find." "Let me plug 'emto find a ripe one?" "Here's a knife ; split 'em wide open." "Don't you throw in a banana ?" "Always." "Whew! If I had any way to get the melon home, I b'lieve I'd invest." "Just say the word,-and I'll send you both in a new hack, and give you niuety days to pay for the melon." ll\T om nrAintr tn phpflHPr after IUC1VUO Ul V gvtu^ VV WW w.. w?r while, but, if the chromo suits, I'll take the melon. Xo colic in it, is there? Please let me see the chromo.1' "What chromo?" "Why you ought to be able to throw in a chromo for a cash transaction like that. Sorry I can't trade." And he picked up a handful of peanuts and sauntered out. The Rev. Billy Hibbard.?The Rev. Billy Hibbard, as he was uniformly called, was a somewhat eccentric but zealous preacher, who labored in Columbia and Livingston counties some forty years ago. At a meeting of conference the Bishop called the roll of ministers' names, but on calling the name William Hibbard there was no response, whereupon the following dialogue ensued : Bishop?Brother Hibbard, why do you not answer to your name as called ? Mr. Hibbard?You have not called my name. Bishop?What is your name, brother? Mr. Hibbard?Billy Hibbard. Bishop?Why that is the name of a little boy. Mr. Hibbard?I was a very little boy when my father gave me that name. The reply upset the gravity of the conference, and an explosion of laughter followed in which the bishop joined. Mr. Hibbard at one time, in conversation with a minister of * 1 1 - ??! /?/! fh A frtl iAW_ anomer uenoiunmuuu, who usacu h?v ivnv,?ing question : "Brother Hibbard, why is it that you have so few doctors of divinity in your church ?" He answered : "Because our divinity is never sick." An Exhorter in Great Trouble.?A well know planter in South Arkansaw, a man who has exhorted at more revivals than any worker in the State, had trouble last week. While hauling cotton along a muddy road, one of the steers broke the yoke and ran away. The old fellow sat down on a log and said: "Lord, you know pretty well what I have done for the church, and how many privations I have stood without a whimper of complaint. If you have observed me very closely, you know I never said a word when my fences were washed away, and that even when Josh Chandler beat me in a lawsuit I did not murmur, but now, after mature consideration, I am compelled to say something. Damn that steer! I think that uuder the circumstances I am excusable. Very few men would have stood as much as I have, especially a man whose wife is in a flout half the time, so I submit the question : Don't you think that I am justifiable in the course I have this day taken? Here I am stuck in the mud. By the time I can get another team the boat will be gone, and I'll have to leave my cotton or haul it back home. If I leave it on the bank somebody will steal it, and if I take it back home Anderson will catch it with a mortgage. So you see, I am peculiarly situated, and am, before any court in the world or out of it either, justifiable in remaaking," Damn that steer!" Equal to the Emergency.?A wildeyed man entered a Chatham street pawn shop and wished to see some pistols. "I sells you dot pistol for two dollar," said the clerk. "I'll take it. Load it up, and before another sunrise I'll put an end to my miserable existence." "Vat? You shoot yourselluff mit dot pistol?" "Yes," said the wild-eyed man desperately. "Mr. Isaacstein," called the clerk to the proprietor in the back room, "der shentleman wants a two-dollar pistol to kill himself mit. Vat shall I do?" "Sclianie him five dollar."?X. Y. Sun. B3T It is one thing to be witty, and another to be rude and personal, and the brute in this instance got exactly what served him right. A young and newly married coupie were entertaining their friends, and among the guests was one whose continued rudeness mjide him extremely objectionable to the rest of the company. His conduct, although most unbearable, was put up with for some time, until at supper he held up on his fork a piece of meat which had been served to him, and in a vein of intended humor he looked around, and remarked, "Is this pig ?" This immediately drew forth the remark from a quiet-looking individual sitting at the other end of the table, "Which end of the fork do you refer to ?" <, ? - Tried and Acquitted hy His Peers.? An Augusta lawyer told me the other day of a witticism uttered by Henry \V. Paine, lie was a prosecuting attorney in a criminal case. The evidence plainly showed that the respondent was guilty, and the defense admitted it. The respondent's counsel asked for a verdict of not guilty on the ground that the defendant was nun compos mentis. Greatly to the surprise of Paine, and everybody else, for that matter, the jury came in with a verdict of not guilty. Paine, on the instant, turned to the presiding judge and said : "Your honor, the prisoner has evidently been tried by a jury of his peers."?Lewiston (Me). Journal. Cheap Feeding.?"When I was out in Colorado," said a man with a ginger beard, "I was chased by the Injuns into a cave, and had to stay there for three months without anything to eat." Here the man looked around defiantly, expecting to find some one to doubt his assertion, but as no one spoke, he continued : "I suppose I would have starved if it hadn't been for mv wife and family in New York. Whenever I would git to thinking of them a big lump would rise in my throat, and by swallowing that I kept myself from starving." A Lucky Player.?Two travelers in the express from Paris to Nice got into conversation. "Going to Nice?" "Yes." "Also to Monte Carlo?" "Oh, yes; I go there every year." "And play there occasionally, no doubt?" "Certainly?once in the morning and once in the evening; twice a day regularly." "And you lose now and then?" "Never." "How is that possible ? I)o you mind telling me how you manage it?" "That is very simple; I play the violin, that's all." WaT""I am sensible of the honor you do me, Mr. Spoouamore, in the proposal of marriage you have just made," said the young woman, with a slight curl of the lip, "but circumstances over which I have no control will compel me to decline the honor." "What are those circumstances, Miss Grimshaw?" fiercely demanded the young man. "Your circumstances, Mr. Spoonamore." ?* Miserable Sinners.?A gentleman went into a crowded store to buy some stockings for his wife. "I want striped ones," he said to the clerk. "We have few very stripes, sir," the clerk replied ; "they are not much worn now." "Are you sure?" "Oh, yes, quite sure. I will demonstrate the fact to you." Then he leaned over the counter and shouted; "Rats!" '"See?" he asked. "Yes; give me plain colors." t&T The little boy had come in with his clothes torn, his hair full of dust, and his face bearing unmistakable marks of a severe conflict. "Oh, Willie! Willie!" exclaimed his mother, "you have disobeyed me again. How often have I told you not to play with that wicked Staplcford !" "Mamma," said Willie, "do I look as if I had been playing with anybody?" ' Wauside (Sathctiugsi. 8??' Acre formerly meant any Held. 8?* There are too many who like to tell i bad news.

If she is starving, she cannot t give rich and wholesome milk. She cannot ' keep in good condition on poor feed, or on ; feed in which the flesh and fat producing I elements are out of proportion. Such must i have good feed in proper quantity, and must 1 also have clean water in abundance. The ; milk is elaborated from tbe food eaten and i the water drank, and must of necessity parj take of the character of both. No alchemy I of the cow's system can make good milk out of poor food, any more than a cider mill can turn out sound cider from rotten apples. | Aside from the influence of breed, tbe quali ty of milk depends solely on the quality of : food and drink. Hearty, nitrogenous food is required to produce muscle and a caseous matter of which cheese is largely composed. While such food to some extent may be converted into fat, it is conceded tbat carbonaceous or fat and heat producing foods are never converted into nitrogenous matter. The latter must be in the food eaten and in a soluble and digestible form before it can be elaborated by the organs of the cow in the casine of the milk. The food must be free from rank flavors and odors or they will appear in the milk?as the flavor and odor of onions and the ferments in sour distillery and in glucose refuse and in stagnant water. Taints are also developed in milk by its not being aired and cooled, by the commencement of incipient decomposition ; they are I absorbed from the surrounding atmosphere. | Hence it will be seen that healthy cows in 1 good condition, clean, sweet food and water, j careful handling, and cleanly surroundings | are necessary for the production and delivI cry of good sound milk. Successful Treatment of Pneumonia. The following statcmeut of a well-known ! resident of this city may have value now, ! when some mortality is prevelent from pneui monia: Nine years ago I had pneumonia. My 1 physician covered my lungs, front and back, j with cotton batting, sprinkled with spirits of turpentine enough to irritate the surface without blistering. This was kept in place by a soft flannel over all. I think I took no ' medicine, but milk, chicken tea and beef tea were constantly suppiied. Still I grew j weaker. Another physician was called j for consultation, who was considered the most skillful in the treatment of lung j diseases of any physician in the city where I j then was. I was told afterward that he said I "It was a beautiful case, clear acute pneui monia." He ordered two grains of calomel. If it did not operate in four hours I was to take two more grains. But it did not operate as he desired, and from that moment I began to mend. Later I asked him why he gave me calomel when it was the lung that ailed. He said : "The eolomel attacked your liver J and diverted the enemies and gave it a chance to heal. In that case, warmth, an irritated surface, abundant nourishment and | two grains of calomel were ellectivo means for a patient who, in three days, was reduced I to utter bodily weakness, accompanied by | mental Mightiness which so often accompan! ies this disease and ends in insanity."?BosI ton Transcript. Watering Horses.?Horses should never I be kept so long without water that they j drink largely when they get it. Give it to | them often and they will never injure them| selves with it. Nothing is more common j than to hitch a team to a wagon or plow and i make them work a half day without a drop. ! What man would submit to such treatment? j If a team is started by seven in the morning | water should be given before ten. Even if half an hour is consumed, more work is done iu a day. The objection that horses at work should not be loaded with water is not valid. A horse weighing 1200 pounds won't be i much eucumbered by 20 pounds of water j while the distension will give him additional j strength. Every farmer knows that when he himself undertakes to lift a large log or stone, he can do more by first inflating himself with air, and not unfrequently he loses a button or two from his pantaloons in the : operation. Some degree of inflation of wa| ter will add to a horse's strength in a similar manner. In driving a horse on the road at a natural gait of five or six miles an hour we have frequently had occasion to observe that he was laboring with perspiration until we let him drink freely, when he ceased to sweat, and evidently traveled more freely. Don't be afraid to give your horses water; j the danger is in making them abstain toe I long, in which case care is needed. Lights in the Barn.?It is estimated that nine-tenths of all fires are caused by , carelessness. Now is the season when the lantern is frequently used in the barn, and I we give a word of caution. Never light 11 | lamp or lantern of any kind in the barn, ! Smokers may include their pipes and cigars ; in the above. The lantern should be lighted : in the house or some out building where no i combustibles are stored. A lantern which ! docs not burn well, should never be put in ; order in the hay mow. There is a great t("imitation to strike a match and relight an , extinguished lantern, wherever it may he. It is best to even feel one's way out to a ! safe place, than to run any risks. If tin I light is not kept in the hand, it should be [hung up. Provide hooks in the various | rooms where the lights are used. A win running the whole length of the horse stable, ! at the rear of the stalls, and furnished with ti I sliding hook, is very convenient for nighl i work with the horses. Some farmers are sc | careless, as to keep the lamp oil in the barn , and fill the lantern there while the wick is j burning. Such risks are too great, even i; j the buildings are insured.?American Agri , j eulturist. , Kkki'Im; I'i.ants Ci.kar of Ins hits.? The same conditions of better weather and increased sunshine that help the pot plants I to put on new vigor just now also favor tin increase of insects upon them. The great est trouble from these comes to those grow ors who fail to observe the "stitch in tiim i saves nine."' Let it always be taken foi granted that insects will certainly put in ai [appearance on the plants. Then do no! wait until hundreds show up before com meneing the light.

In the early part of 1803, the staunch old ! frigate New York was riding quietly at her ! anchors at Malta, detained by strong head ! winds from carrying out her orders to join Commodore Morris's squadron, which was on the eve of commencing active operations against the haughty barbarians of Tripoli. The New York was commanded by Captain James Barron, with the young and impetuous Stephen Decatur as first lieutenant. By a strange fatality, the two officers were destined to meet seventeen years later, on the bloody ground of Bladensburg, when Decatur, then a commodore, was shot by Barron, and the nation plunged into grief and mourning over the chivalrous Decatur's untimely fate. Like Washington's honored parent, Decatur's mother had strenuously opposed her son's desire to enter the naval service, but when the appointment was assured, finally withdrew her objections. The young officer, when ordered to his first vessel, the frigate United States, devoted his first mouth's pay towards the relief of the widow of his schoolteacher, who had been a shipmaster. The numerous fine traits in the character of Decatur had endeared him to all the officers with whom he was thrown in contact, and while he exacted strict obediI ence and attention to duty, the young offiI cers held him in high estimation as their friend and adviser. I During the detention of the New York at Malta, recreation for officers and men had been few and far between, most of their leisure having been taken up with practical drills in anticipation of hard, serious service and active work ahead. Enjoying a slight respite from the routine of the ship, two young midshipmen obtained permission from Decatur, as "First Luff," to spend an evening on shore. One of the young gentlemen was Joseph Bainbridge, whose high spirit and brilliant attainments had already won for hpn honorable mention to the department. OH.,* T?nr?1ieV? /iffinnra nttnrOioil to both A 1?C JJUfel.c.. squrdron and garrison at Malta liud evinced anything but a friendly spirit toward the gentlemen of the American frigate, practically ignoring them 011 all occasions of a social or festive nature. In fact, it was fashionable and somewhat popular amongst the English officials to affect derision and contempt for representatives of the young republic, until taught by a series of stern encounters to change their tactics. Attired in the modest but neat uniform of their rank, with the parting words of caution given them by Decatur impressed 011 their minds, the two midshipmen left the vessel in high spirits, happy in the anticipation of throwing off for a brief period the restraint of discipline, stern and exacting in all its requirements. From the cafe the two friends sauntered into the Royal theatre, but scarcely had they occupied their seats when attention was drawn to them by a group of British officers, j who, attired in their scarlet uniforms, occuJ pied a prominent position in the audiance. In the most offensive and boisterous manner, the officials joked, langhed, and sneered at Americans in general and Yankee naval officers in particular, attracting the attention of the audience, whose glasses were leveled upon the two midshipmen, who, mindful of the advice given them Decatur, preserved an unbroken silence, though their blood boiled with inhignation at the indignities thrust upon them. The progress of the play being seriously interrupted, after a short consultation the Americans withdrew to the lobby to consult upon the best mode of resenting the affront, which, having been so publicly offered, could scarcely be allowed to pass unnoticed without bringing unfavorable comment upon the flag and service which they represented. They were soon joined by the scarlet-coated throng, who were not disposed to allow their youthful victims to escape so easily ; and as they resumed their offensive remarks, laughed loudly as one of their number jostled Brainbridge in a manner not to be mistaken. Unable longer to retain his indignation, the young officer who was stalwart in his proportions, struck straight from the shoulder, knocking his insulter down, in which position , Bainbridgc applied to the dazed individual a vigorous kick, and shoulder to shoulder the two friends passed through the astonished | group before they fully realized what had occurred. Early the next morning Bainbridgc received a challenge, his antagonist proving to be a military secretary to the governor of , Malta, and a noted duellist. Anxious for fresh conquests and an opportunity to prac| tice his art that his reputution might he eni hanced, he had singled out the young, . I modest appearing officer as a safe and eligiI i hie victim. | j Bainbridge promptly accepted the gage of ; I battle, but he had 110 experience in handling II the delicately contrived duelling pistols of the period, and lacked a knowledge of even ' the first principles governing the code. In his dilemma the boy midshipman made t a confidant of Decatur, soliciting his advice , and experience. The "First Luff"" of the Yankee frigate listened quietly to the recital . of the recontre; agreed that the provocation , had merited the punishment meted out to i tin. i>r mid at once offered his services 11 as second in the affair. 1 Decatur had heard of the English officer j: before, whose reputation as a dead shot was ! j known far and wide, while his general char. acter was in line with the dissolute set who [ at that time were connected with a certain portion of the military set forming the garrison of Malta. There was but one way in | which the quarrel could be settled, but Dc: eatur was determined that the young life of j;thc midshipman should not be sacrificed to ! the duellist's ambition without a strong ' | effort on his part to save him. i There was no time for preparation or . practice on the part of Bainhridge, who had |; gratefully accepted the kind offices of his su' perior, and Decatur, with his proverbial i grace and polished politeness, waited upon (j the secretary's representative. As the friend i of the challenged party, Decatur chose pistols as the weapons to be used, the princi' I pals to be stationed four yards apart, and " the word to be given, "Take aim," ami trig^ gers to be pulled at the order, "Fire !" The friend of the. challenged party de' murred to these terms, saying : "This looks like murder, sir." ? ? j "No, sir," was Decatur's stern reply. "It may look like death, but not like murder. Your friend is a professional duellist, mine "' is wholly inexperienced. I am no follower : or admirer of the code, but I am acquainted with the use of the pistol. Ifyou insist upon ten paces. I will light your friend at that dis' ' tance with great pleasure." " i "But we have no quarrel with you, sir." * | "Which is to be regretted, under the eir* cumstances. Your representative has las*1 tened a quarrel upon a mere lad, and I will k I not at this time express my sentiments re" j garding such action on the part of an officer 1 j possessing the reputation enjoyed by your " j friend?" ; I "Sir!" interrupted the secretary's second, ' | his face flushing with rage, "am I to underr j stand?" "Anything you please, sir," replied Deca1 i tur, shrugging his shoulders contemptuously ; ;j "but we will settle this part of the business ' first, if you please. 3Iv terms must be ae11 ceded to, or the substitution of myself for J: my friend." ! Decatur was inexorable, would not yield i a point, to the visible annoyance of the mili' tarv officer, who hemmed and hawed until I)e*: eatur was on the point of withdrawing from ' | the conference. He bad carried the day, " ( and the meeting was arranged for sunset that 1 day, at a sequestered point in the angle of a ' half ruined water battery, where there was ; j little chance of interruption. 1 Promptly to the minute the parties were ': on the ground, when, saluting each other stiflly, preparations were at once made for the exchange of shots, liainhridge was iduiet, subdued, and serious in his de ; port men t , while his antagonist laughed and i joked in a flippant manner as he threw aside * i his sash, coat, and military stock as too promI inent marks for tlie skill of his antagonist. . Haitihridgc was attired in the neat blue uniform of his rank, a regulation that had but recently been issued by the department, disi placing hull' and red lapels, and introducing the gilt button hearing the imprint of an ! j eagle and anchor surrounded by 15 stars. , | The sun was barely visible above the liori> zon as the two principles stepped forward to rj their appointed positions, which had been i j carefully marked. Scarcely a breath of air j milled the deep bine surface of the sen, J which broke with monotonous regularity along the rooky line of beach. Decatur stepped forward, and in the short, sharp tones of the quarter-deck, demanded : "Are you ready, gentlemen?" "Ready," was the simultaneous response. , "Take aim !" and the pistols were kept I leveled until the lirst lieutenant of the Yankee frigate noticed the hand of the Englishman tremble. lie then gave the word, j "Fire!" The pistols exploded as one report, the j ball from Raiabridge\s weapon passing I through the hat of his antagonist. The duellist, sure of his man at the distance, missed his intended victim entirely. There was no oiler made of atonement for the insult, which, of course, should have proceeded from the military secretary, and the principals were again placed face to face. The sun had sunk to rest amid a deep crimson glow, which shimmered and danced across the restless waters with a somewhat weird etrect. The Englishman gave a rapid glance seaward, as if studying the possible influence of the changing atmosphere upon ' ? i- . ..2-k iiis sk111 as a chick siiih ; wniiu diuiiiniii^c, pistol in hand, gazed neither to the right nor left. His eyes were fastened upon the somewhat burly form of his enemy. "Aim low, Bainbridgc, if you would save your life, and be quick with the trigger when I give the word," whispered Decatur, in the ear of his friend, as he lingered for a moment by his side. Bainbridgc nodded, while the muscles of his lips contracted, and his gray eye lit up with a gleam and expression not to be mistaken. As before, the word was given, followed instantaneous]} by the sharp crack of the midshipman's pistol. The Englishman, with a convulsive leap, fell full length amid the debris of the earthwork, shot through the brain. Decatur passed bis arm through that of his friend, who stood dazed and half-bewildered in the face of what had occurred. It was his first afTair of the kind, and he could scarcely realize that it had terminated fatally. But his friend drew him from the spot, there was nothing more left for them to do, and ten minutes later both stood on the quarter-deck of the New York, surrounded hv an eager crowd of officers, amongst whom the duel had been an open secret. There was a more than usual sumptuous dinner given that night in the ward-room of the old frigate, in which all the midshipmen participated as guests, and the stern features of even the reticent commander relaxed in the seclusion of his cabin as he listened to the hursts of merriment occasionally borne to his ear. He had heard whispers of what was likely to occur, hut in accordance with the spirit of the age, had affected ignorance of the matter in the absence of an official report. The meeting created great excitement, the military secretary having occupied a prominent position socially on the island, and the governor made a demand for both Decatur and Bainbridgc; hut the New York sailed without the governor's orders being complied with, and it was months before an American vessel of war again visited the harbor. Decatur soon after returned to the United States in the ill-omened frigate Chesapeake, as a passenger, to avoid complications that might arise from the squadron being compelled to rendezvous at Malta.

FOR several years you have been fully conscious of the fact that by the >e of a CORHIN DISK HARROW you could reduce the expenses on your rm and at the same time increase the producing power of your land. You ive known this because you have seen statements to that effect in these )lunins signed by some of the best farmers in York and Chester counties? :en whose word you would not think of doubting in any statement they light make to you. Isn't the foregoing absolutely correct ? Now, here, doubtless, are some of the reasons you have assigned for not Living, and I will say that none or all of them are worth the* time emloved in thinking them out : First. "My land is different the man's who lade the statement as to his experience with the harrow." Second. "Times ? *e too hard." Third. "The price is too high, if I will only wait they will get leaper." Fourth. "Perhaps I can get one low down from some fellow who as got tired of his, or perhaps I may be able to get a bargain in one at some ublic sale," etc., etc. For answer to "reason" No. i I will say that there is no soil in York - ? ?? 1*1 il 1 junty, 01* anywhere else, that can be cultivated at all 011 wnicn uic narrow ^ innot be used to advantage. To No. 2 I will say that the harrow is a time and money saver, therefore ic reason is an argument in favor of buying instead of not buying. To No. 3 I reply that there is not the least probability of a reduction in rice for the reason that it is very low now, especially when the quantity and > uality of work it will do is taken into consideration. It is cheaper in proortion than an Iron Foot Plow Stock at $1.00. I11 reply to No. 4 I will ask how many yon have known to be sold in the ast five years "because the owners were tired of them" and how many have 011 known to sell at a reduced price at a public sale? Now say ? I tell 011 what I know. Several years ago I sold a harrow to three farmers, and fter using it for more than a year two of them sold out their interest for $2 ?ss than the entire harrow cost the three. Sold one to another farmer. He sed it one year, was compelled to raise some cash to pay a note, and sold is harrow for $1 less than he paid me for it. SAM M. GRIST, State Agent, Yorkville, S.
