The Hartwell, Ga., Sun tells the story c as follows : Stepping down from the pulpit, folding his hands across his breast, and look- ( ing solemnly over the audience, the great re-1 vivalist said : \ "I want all the women in this crowd who have not spoken a harsh word or harbored t an unkind thought toward their husbauds for a month past to stand up." . One old woman, apparently on the shady side of 60, stood up. "Come forward and give me your hand," 1 said the preacher. The woman did so, whereupon Jones said: t "Now turn around and let this audience see the bestlooking woman in the country." t After she took her seat the revivalist addressed the men: t "Now, I want all the men in this crowd who have not spoken a harsh word nor liar- c bored an unkind thought toward their wives for a month post to stand up." . Twenty-seven great, big, strapping fellows hopped out.of the audience with all the alacrity of champagne corks. "Come forward, and give me your hands, ' my dear boys." Jones gave each one a vigorous shake, af- ' ter which he ranged all of them side by side 1 in front of the pulpit, ana lacing me audience. He looked them over carefully and < solemnly, and then turning around to the 1 audience, he said : "I want you all to take a good look at the j 27 biggest liars in the State of Tennessee." | Two Good Stories. ?At a luncheon to , friends of the Mission society some good ( stories were told. Dr. Maclaren, who said he had never been an after-dinner speaker, and i "it was difficult to teach an old dog new' tricks," told a story of Dr. Pfleiderer that!; sounds apocryphal, and is not so charitable ' as might be expected from Dr. Maclaren. j1 Dr. Pfleiderer, when in Edinburgh last year, j' was praising the symbols of the Presbyterian ; church. The first answer of the catechism, I s he said, summed up the whole of his tbeolo- < gy and philosophy. He read it, "The chiefj end of man is to glorify God, and enjoy him- i self forever;" and he refused to admit, on ] the accepted version being shown him, that there was any difference between the two. | Then Dr. Macdonald, of the Wesleyan , Missionary society, had a story that evoked shouts of laughter. A Yorkshire vicar's wife had much trouble in inducing an old ( lady to go to church. The woman pleaded ( that she had no bonuet fit to wear. The vicar's wife removed tLe difficulty; but a few Sundays later the old lady was again persistently absent. The parsoness reproached her, and was told, "I went to church 1 while the bonnet was new; but when it began to look shabby I went to the Baptists, ' ?? and when it was too bad for the Baptists, I ' went to the Methodists, and now it is too ' shabby to go anywhere." His Sworn Testimony.?What makes < Ria efnrv ornnH is that it is true. A lawsuit 1 "*" J O ? I involving a barge had been brought. The plaintiff aimed to prove that the barge was < so ill-constructed that when it was launched ? the middle sank nearly five feet deeper than ] the ends. They depended a good deal upon a colored man who can be known as Charley, ] because Charley was his name. Charley . was known to have said that the barge had j sunk fully five feet. Indeed, he admitted as much to a lawyer who was attorney for . the plaintiff. At the trial this was the way 1 the questions and answers were put: 1 "Charley, how did the barge set on the ! water when it was launched?" "Set like a duck, jedge ; jes' like a duck." 1 "But didn't you say, on the 17th of last < June, that the barge had sunk fully five ' feet?" "I mout hev, jedge ; I mout hev." < "Well, how does it happen, Charley, that i on the 17th of last June you said the barge ' sank fully five feet, and now you say the barge floated like a duck ?" j "Well, you see, jedge, on the 17th of June j ?er?I was jes' a-talkin'; but now I'se a | swearin', jedge; now I'se a-swearin'." US' Speaking of the incompatibly of a , " 1 "ttliion of church and State in this country, Dr. Dowling, of New York said : Patrick and Biddy had been a long time raarr ed ; but did not get along well together, for they were always quarreling. It happened, how- ; ever, that one day they were sitting together opposite the fire, when in came the cat and dog, and lay down between them and 1 - il- TV! J J.. also opposite eacn otner. rresenuy uiuuy speaks up and says : "Faith, Patrick, isn't it a shame we should be always quarreling: see 1 the cat and the dog, how peaceably they get along." "Och Biddy, an its not a fair comparison at all; just tie them them together, and see how they'll act." 1^" The proprietor of the only hotel in the '< village was also the undertaker. The guests 1 were gathered around the table one day, and the solemn man looked up, sighed heavily, ! and then let his gaze fall on his plate. "I I see," he said, in measured tones, "that there i < has been another funeral." Everyone look- i ed up inquiringly. "How do you know?" ~ asked the brisk little widow. "Because," | and the solemn man sighed again, "there are flowers on the table and ice on the butter." 11 .Wer^cuBe from the country seven years j ago, and is now a well-to-do merchant. Last week he wrote to the old folks, telling!, them he had married a lady with a line j j voice?a "mezzo-soprano of very extraordi- j) nary compass."

After the visitor had spent one morning at the break-1 fast table the country uncle said : "Cousin, i don't you think that your family will miss \ you painfully ? You ought not to leave i them alone so much." "By Jove, that's j so," exclaimed the city man; "I'll telegraph them to come right on at once." A servant girl was brought to a hos^ ' pital suffering fron an overdose of poison. When questioned as to her motive for taking it. she replied : "I wasn't feeling well, so I went to my mistress's room to get some medicine from the chest she keeps there.

Having frequently been asked howtoeure good, sweet bacon, and the time being now j close at hand to begin this nice, particular ! work, 1 herewith give my own plan which I | have practiced for 10 years or more with success. In the first place, to make good bacon, j hogs must be fat, and the younger they are the better the bacon for whites to eat, if they have sufficient size. I should prefer not to have any hogs for bacon over one year old. They should at that age be easily made to weigh 150 to 250 pounds each. After being nicely butchered and cleaned, and cold enough to cut out smoothly, cut up as desired. Hams and shoulders I prefer to have closely cut ; that is, leave as much to the sides as possible. Hams especially lir. /.lnc?>lvr li'immwl K;ilt u'oll and pack on a platform built for the purpose, with slope suflicicnt to pass tlie drippings or ' brine from the meat; use about a teaspoonj ful of saltpctere 011 each joint and pack 1 closely 011 the platform. After having lain in I salt not more than eight days?if the weather is favorable, and not too cold, live or six I days is belter?take it up and re-salt as at first, except don't use any more saltpetre, ! and repack as before. Here is where a good many fail in making j good bacon, by not re-salting and at the proper time. The salt between the meat at the ; thick parts will readily dissolve and the pieces , will come together, and if allowed to remain 'so, will more or less sour, and the meat is I never good and sweet afterwards. By rei salting as above described this is avoided and | the meat is kept sweet and palatable. | Alter having lain in the salt four or live weeks the meat should be taken up and j washed clean and well wiped, and if it is ! desired to keep sweet aind perfect, put it in ! sacks made for the purpose, of ordinary cotj ton goods, tying the mouth of the sack firmly with a good, strong string, which should be used for hanging it up. Have a ! large kettle with ashes and water heated to about a boiling point, sufficient to immerse each piece, holding it firmly by the string with which it is tied. ; This immersion -is to destroy any eggs of ; insects that may have been deposited upon |it, and also fills the openings in the cloth I with ashes so as to prevent any further dep. redation upon it by flies or other insects. After this the meat should he hung up to | dry with plenty of fresh air. I prefer hams and shoulders hung with the hocks down. I The drippings will thus be absorbed by the ; hocks. A sweet, juicy hock is good enough j for the most fastidious. If your house is a close one, bore auger j holes in the gable ends of roof so as to admit ; plenty ot air. j I knew a gentleman, a railroad president, | wlio hung his meat high up in a warehouse in the town where he lived to dry, and it kept perfectly without any further care or or attention. Meat prepared as above will keep sweet j and perfect -indefinitely and will not become ! rancid, not even on the outside, fatty parts. I I have hams put up as above, last winter that are perfect.?John llobinson, Cnmmis(sioner. PRESERVING M EAT. With a little care in feeding and planning j ahead, the fanner can store up a good sup| ply of meat at a comparatively low eost. | Of pork, especially, if more is cured than is I needed, it can readily be sold at a price that will give a good return. Probably the easiest, as well as most economical way of putting up beef is by pickling. Have the animal in good condition, and after butchering, cut the carcass into quarters and hang it over night to cool out the animal beat. In cutting up, care should be taken to wash or cut off all the i bloody pieces. It is best when salted down, | especially for family use, to cut the meat ini to convenient pieces for cooking, as this can ! always be done with less trouble before than j after pickling. j Have the barrel in which the meat is to be [packed clean and of suflicient size, so that 1 when the meat is all in, it can be covered I with brine. Put in a layer of salt, then a I layer of meat; sprinkle with salt and put in | another layer of meat, and so on till the j vessel is full. Then pour cold water over ; until all is covered. Let stand three or four | days, and then pour off the water or brine ! as clean as possible. Make brine as strong as the salt will dissolve and pour it over the meat until covered .again. This is the easiest and simplest plan. Another is to pack the beef away the 'same as before, and then make a strong salt . brine, adding an ounce of saltpeter and a 1 1- - 1A pOUIHl U1 IIIUU II IU IV ^ilUUII^ U1 the brine. Put in u kettle and boil, skimming oil' the scum that rises. Let it cool | a little, and then pour it over the beef. In four or live days this should be poured oil", re-boiled and skimmed, and then put i back. Some of the best rump pieces can be left out when the brine is taken oil', and be ! hung up and smoked or dried. Pork, the middlings, and in fact, stll the meat can be served in the same way as the { beef, and after pickling until thoroughly saltJed can be taken out and smoked, and the ; sides used as pickled pork. This plan is | called brine-curing, and is followed by many, especially when the conditions of keeping are unfavorable, that is, if the weather is damp or rather warm. Another plan is to cut the {meat while it is warm, as soon, in | fact, as the work can be done after Initchering; rub each part thoroughly with salt, into which a little ground pepper has been ! mixed. It is important to rub well with | salt and pepper, so as to have it strike in as 11 soon as possible. Pack in boxes or barrels; let it lie for four or live days; then take up and rub again, this time adding a little brown sugar. This should be repeated four or live 1 times. The more general plan is to cut the ; meat and let it lie until the animal heat is all out : then rub well with salt, with a little pep' per added : a little brown sugar will make a rather sweet meat. Pack it closely together. In live or six days take tip the meat again 5 ami rub it over carefully with salt and pepper, and put it down again. Let it be until : ready to smoke. If care is taken to cool 1 out thoroughly and to rub the salt in well there is little dilliculty in keeping meat killed at any time from this on.?The Kepublic. ?- -?>- ?

The overland mailcoach was dragging its way slowly along through the blinding and drifting snow over the vast plains of Colorado. It had reached a point known as Pole Creek ranch, situated upon the southern hank of the Platte river, perhaps 40 or 50 miles above Fort Sedgwick. When it halted, darkness had fully set in. The ranchman came out with his light, and the weary ' passengers were about to leave their crampj ed positions, when that terrible sound, the warwhoop of the Sioux, broke the stillness of the night; and in an instant after, 50 dusky forms were seen dashing to and fro, ! brandishing their bloody tomahawks and striking all who came in their way. ! The coach had been crowded with pasi scngers, about one-half of whom were wo! men. There were also infants in the party. Fathers fought desperately ; but they fell; although they sold their lives dearly. The guard appeared almost invincible; but they ! were small in number, and they did not ! long survive. The ranchmen proved themj selves no cowards; hut, they, too, were soon numbered with the dead. Then came | the firing of the ranch after barrels of whis' ky had been brought out, and one of those | horrible scenes of revelry over the burning I pile and around the scalped dead followed. For some time after the coach had left I Fort Sedgwick station it had been closely ! followed by a "team," consisting of a com; mon wagon covered with canvas, which w-ts i drawn by a pair of small mules; hut as the road became heavier with snowdrifts, the small animals could not keep pace with the six fine stage horses, and so they were left in the background. This wagon was occupied by three persons ' ?a man of 25, a woman who could not have I been more than 17 or IS years of age. and a ! young infant. As they found they could not keep pace ' with the stage, the woman said, and rather impatiently, "I am sorry we are left behind. We may lose our way, or he attacked by the savages." "No," replied the man, "for, although we | are both strangers in this country, we j couldn't have a better guide than the telegraph poles. And as for the Indians attacking us, they are great deal more likely, in my opinion, to he on the lookout for the stage, and attack it." "How much further do we drive today ?" "I can't well tell. But from the distance , we had to travel at noon, I should say that I nine o'clock in the evening ought to bring us I to Pole Creek." ! "And three days more will bring us to my father's house in Denver, (iood old man. J weary of hunting, he builds a fine dwelling j in the city, says it is for his children, and I sends for us. I have not seen him since I | was a child ; but I am sure I shall love him." It was something like an hour after darkI ness had set in, that the lonely travelers saw the air becoming red ahead of them. Bright| er and brighter grew the light until they ; could actually see the flames as they shot up in the snow-filled atmosphere. Then a near! er approach revealed the true state of affairs ; and to save himself and family the young j man at once turned the heads of his mules I over the bluffs and away from the river. Then came a weary ride of two hours, durj ing which time a close lookout was kept for a I light. At length one was discovered, and j nearing it, the party found themselves at the i base of a steep bluff, or mountain, which, un| like the other portions of the country, appear i to be thickly wooded. Leaving his team, together with his wife ! and child, almost entirely concealed by the overhanging branches of a tree, he began his difficult ascent for the purpose of ascertaining what the light he saw meant. In a few minutes he was within a few feet of the place. lie was satisfied the glimmer did not come from a cabin ; and as near as he j could calculate it came from a rocky cave. I'p to this time the young man felt sure ! that he had not made the least noise, for the j snow was soft. Neither could he well he seen, for the snow which covered his er.iire i person rendered him of the same color as everything around him. And yet he heard a dog growl, and then a voice say, '-Keep j your distance Ingen ! Pete an' me is just as ready for a scrimmage as we was this afteri noon. Keep your distance !" l,I am not an Indian, but a benighted traveler," returned the young man. "I saw this ! light, and did not know but it proceeded from i some white settlers's cabin." "I knew Pete did not smell Ingen, or he'd he makin' a bigger fuss than that. Put wait, . an' I'll be thar, an' soon show you the way into my Sebasterpole." In a moment the hunter stood by the side of the young man, and bending close to his face, t he appeared to he satisfied. The dog had his j smell, and agreed with his master that all was j right. A few words of explanation passed, land the old hunter exclaimed, "Oh ! got a wife an' baby, eh? Lord love 'em ! we can't ] leave 'em down thar freezin' in this hitter weather?" And away he went down the hill at such a i rapid rate that the traveler found it impossii hie to keep pace with him. When lie did arrive he found that his mules had been fed with the remainder of the provender left in the wagon, and that the old man was returning, carrying the ha by in his arms and conducting the wife. The warm fire was reached. It was just j outside a small cave, and surrounded by {sharp broken rocks, which had evidently fal; Iuii from above. The travelers told their | story of the burning ranch ; and the old man j stated that he had been chased into Fremont's Butte (the name of this peak) and had fought from the present position with the ! Indians only a few hours before. He added : "I believe there's a lot on 'em skulking about yet. At all events, I think it's best to wait lor a short time, jist to see whnt'll turn up. I Are you a feared of lire, stranger?" "When they attack us you may judge for yourself," answered the young man, smiling. "That's good ; you've brought blankets? lie down an' sleep, and I'll do the same, l'ete, my dog can smell Ingen a mile. He'll give the alarm if there's any danger." The travelers were weary, and they slept soundly, warmed as they were by the cheerfid lire. But near daylight they were suddenly aroused by the furious barking of the dog. The young man sprang to his feet, and seized his rilit* and revolvers. He found the 1 hunter already up; and the instant be discovered him he discharged bis rifle, and a savage came whirling through the air, uttering wild yells, ami falling into the very centre of the hunter's stronghold. The dog. with a bound, immediately seized him as he would have done a rat. and shook him until the wretch ceased to struggle or to groan. Occasionally a savage head would appear ; above the rock, and a shot from the old 1 man's gun was sure to crack the cranium of the redskin so venturing. At every shot the hunter would say, "There's old Paul's mark for you." Presently there came a series of unearthly shouts, and not less than 20 savages came i tearing over the rocks into the circle. The : hunter shouted, "Club your rifle, stranger? I light like the devil?now's the time !" and he I at once set a vigorous example by cointnenc' ing the attack in a most furious manner. | Not less than half a dozen redskins fell I under his terrible blows; and then he I looked around in evident surprise that there was no longer a foe to light. And yet he saw over twenty dead bodies weltering in I gore around him. "How is this, stranger?" asked the old hunter, pointing to the dead Sioux. v "The work of my revolvers," quietly responded the young man. as he gazed upon - the service llicy bad done. i "Oh, then you've got a brace of six-shoot ers ?'" i "No ; one seven and one scvcntcen-shootr or." !' "l!y .love! Let's start at once. We'll face all the reds we meet in Colorado, t 'oine." - The party left their stronghold, when an other and a sharp light took place with some ; twenty other savages, half of their number - falling. The others, hearing the shots eou-Itinue, believed they were attacked by ovcri whelming numbers, and lied. The old man : loaded his rilie, and made a last shot at a . savage who could not have been less than i Iwelve hundred yards oil". Tiie Indian fell, - and the hunter exclaimed, "There's old 1 Paul's mark again." i "Ami what is your other nameasked i the female traveler, approaching him. "Paul Jason is my name, please ye, j ma'am." "Then there's Lucy Morion's mark !" she cried, throwing her anus around the neck of the old hunter, and kissing his bronzed lips. The hunter started hack, rubbed his eyes, and then catching her by the hands, he cried : "No, no ! You don't mean to say that you are my little Lucy, that was married to a man named ("barley Morton, what's got a baby, an'coming out to Denver to live in my new brick house ?" "Yes, I am the same." The old hunter embraced his child, kissed i the baby oO times, and then turning to Charley, he said: "Ky Jove, stranger?no 11 mean Charley?if my gal hadn't married I you, I believe I never woidd have forgiven . her. for vou're iust about the bravest little 'chap and Injen fighter for a greenhorn that I ever I did see. Hy Jove, hut I shall he proud of you !" The mules had not been molested, and ; i the rest of the journey to Denver was performed in safety. And the old man was! never happier than when introducing his son-in-law, and telling of the great Indian I i tight, always making Charley the hero. An Oi>d Prick.?A woman travelling in Japan a year ago spent a night at an isolated little inn in the mountains. When her party reached the place the landlord, orj master of the house, for the place hardly seemed an accredited hotel, showed some reluctance to accommodate the travellers. Finally lie signified his willingness on one condition. When the condition was stated it created consternation, being a request that the lady would allow him the privilege1 of assisting at that portion of her morning j toilet which had to do with the putting on' of her corset. The man had, it seems heard ; of these strange garments, hut had never j before encountered a foreign woman, and felt that the opportunity of his life had come to appease an inordinate curiosity in the matter. After some natural hesitation, the American consented to pay this very odd price j for the housing of herself and friends, and the next morning the inspection was duly] permitted. The Japanese host was most deferential, but also most minute in the examination, walking around her several times with many deprecatory smiles, finally approaching gingerly, and touching the bodice of bone and drilling. He was evidently greatly amazed, and decidedly shocked, that any women could so incase herself, and, after his guest had finished her toilet and appeared in the breakfast room, his eyes followed her constantly with an expression of fascinated interest, which was varied from time to time by a shake of the head and a solemn look of deprecation, as if one Bhould say, '-It is true, indeed; but, oh, how dreadful!"
