X3P A good Methodist minister at
the West, who lived on a very small
salary, was greatly troubled at one time
> to get his quarterly instalment. lie
had called on his steward a number of .
times, but had each time been put of) j
with some excuse. Ilis wants at length J
becoming urgent, he went to his steward .
and told hiui that he must have money, j
as his family was suffering for the neces
saries of life.
“Money!” replied tho steward. —
“ You preach for money? I thought
you preached for the good of souls.”
“/Souls/” replied the minister; “I
can’t eat souls—and if I could, it would
take a thousand such as yours to make a
decent meal.”
J[-0~ Hearing a man complain that
political papers of all kinds “had Income
such liars, that, for his part, he old not 1
believe any of them,” reminds me of the
old story of the miller and his three sons.
Coming into the mill and finding a grist
in tho hopper, the old man cried out:
“ Tom, have you tolled this grist?”
“ Yes, sir.”
“Bill, have you tolled this grist?”
“ Yes, sir,”
“ Sam, have you tolled this grist?”
“ Yes, sir.”
“You’re all a pack of lying scoun
drels,” says the old man. “I don't be
lieve a word you say—l’ll toll it myself.”
IfST A Scottish parson was betrayed
into more puns than ho meant to make,
when he prayed for tho Council and the
Parliament, that they might hang togeth
er in those trying times. A countryman
standing by, cried out:
“ Yes, with all my heart, and the .
sooner tlie better; it’s the prayer of all
good people.”
“ But, my friends,” said the parson, I
“ I don’t mean as that fellow does ; hut
I pray that they may all hang together
in accord and concord.”
“No matter what cord,” the fellow
sung out, “so it’s only a strong cord.”
itrT A gentleman saw a lady looking
so lovely that lie could not help pressing
her delicate cheeks and asking her “if
lie had ought to do with the happiness of
tho future.” “Yon are in the dreams
of my coming days,” replied she. They
are to bo married next month.
“Sir,” said a blustering little man to
a religious opponent, “to what sect do
you think I belong ?” “ Well, T don’t
exactly know,” replied the other, “hut to
judge from your style and appearance, I
should think you belonged to a class
called the insect.”
iff?" “Y ou bachelors ought to he
taxed,” said a lady to a resoiuto evader
of the noose matrimonial. “I agree
with you perfectly, ma’am,” was the re
ply, “bachelorism is certainly a lux
ury.”
A rich journeyman printer is found
out west, lie is being exhibited with
ling-tailed monkeys, wild hogs, shaved
horses, three legged calves and other
trinkets.
A shrewd little fellow who had just
read latin, astonished his father by the
following translation : Ft>, a man, gin,
a trap —Virgin, a man-trap.
The man who couldn’t “trust his feel
ings,” is supposed to do business strictly
on the cash principle.
“ Papa, have guns got legs ?” “No.”
“How do they kick then?” “With
their breeches, my son.”
An artist painted a cow and a cabbage
so natural that they had to bo separated,
the cow having commenced eatfng the
cabbage.
Three things as good ns their betters
—dirty water to extinguish fire, a home
ly wife to a blind man, and a wooden
sword to a coward.
“ My lad,” said a lady to a boy carry
ing out an empty mail bag, “arc you a
mail boy?” “You don’t think Iso a
female boy, do you?”
“I am going to draw this bean into a
knot,” as the lady said when standing at
tho liymenial altar.
To undertake to reason a girl out of
love is as absurd as would l>o the attempt
to extinguish Vesuvious with a glass of
water.
Mr. Smith, tho hogs are getting

McCormicks
COMBINED
REAPING AND MOWING
M&mM-z,
WE RESPECTFULLY inform the Farmers
of Montgomery county that we have tlic
EXCLUSIVE AGENCY for supplying them
with this invaluable Machine, for 185 C, and so
licit their early orders.
In buying McCORMICK’S REAPING AND
mowing Machine, you make n exckui
mknt. It has been long in use and well tested.
The whole world knows it to bo the best, most
complete working and thoroughly reliable Machine
in use.
It is very substantially made, with heavy
w rought iron finger-beam, serrated sickle-edged
Cutter, very seldom requiring to be ground ;
the Reel draws up the grain to the Sickle, land
ing it admirably on the platform to the Raker’s
hand. It is easily adjusted to cut any height
of stubble, from one inch to fourteen, without
moving a bolt. It does its work perfectly and
equally so, w hether the grain be heavy or light,
tangled or fallen, wet or dry, nnd at any rate
Of Speed.
In Mowing, the Reel effectually clears the
finger-beam of grass and other substances ; thus
preventing the sickle from choking, leaving the
grass beautifully spread for curing, and requir
ing no other bund but the driver. It cuts a
swarth near six left wide, and at a fair farm
work gait does the work of Jive cradlcrs and
mo leers.
In evidence of the entire satislhctinn this ma
chine gives, we stale, that of the 25U0 machines
made and sold last year, placed into nil kinds
of hands, and over the grain growing parts of
the United States, not a siagle purchaser has
given Mr. McCormick an intimation of a wish
to return ltis machine.
About eighty of our Montgomery Farmers
(referred to below) own mid use them, all of
" hom will cheerfully bear testimony to their
thorough efficiency in doing their work us well
for their great economy in their use by saving
labor mid Gleaner saving of grain and grass :
