"Vat he dalk aboud?" said Herr Hans. "Well, our minister preached on Noah's ark?the big ark that saved his family and a pair of all living animals from the flood. It was an immense thing." "Yah, it vas purdy pig, aber it don'd vas genough yit." "How's that?" "Vhy, he don'd gan'd got all dem animools on him." "And how do you know that?" "I got me tier size for dot boat, und I got me tier number fon dem animools, una I figger him oud, und don'd gan see how dem all got in ven him vas vone schdory high only.

A Speculator's Gifts.?A Georgian was one day honored with a call from a local clergyman, who stated that he was soliciting subscriptions for the erection of a new church edihce, and added : "The Lord will surely prosper all who aid us." "Do you honestly believe that?" "\Vhv. eerhiinlv T do." The other subscribed $500, and as the clergyman arose to go, he said: "I have no doubt the Lord will repay you for this inside of six months." Only six weeks had passed, when the liberal hearted subscriber called upon the clergyman and said: "You remember I subscribed $500 toward your church building. I now want to go $300 more for the seats and carpets." "Has the Lord prospered you as I predicted !" "You bet! He not only discounted your time one-half, but He has permitted me to gobble up all the stock in a railroad except about $5,000 held by a widow. I want to subscribe $300, and nave the Lord bring her to time." . . . Ax Even Thing.?"Are you sure that is a gentle horse ?" asked a man of a colored gentleman, from whom he wished to purchase a buggy horse. "Gentlest hoss in dis town. A child ken dribe him. My wife is a mighty skeery 'oman, but she ain't afeered ob dis hoss." "Sorry to hear it," said the white man. "A gentleman who is running against me for office gave me money to buy a horse for him. I don't want you to say anything about it, but I want to get a horse that will run away with him and kill him." /-1a Kacu cnli Tato u 1/CU UIO AO Ut IIV/OO) a\/*v v? wagon all tor pieces day afore yestiday, an' killed a cullud gen'leman.

"Who's a triflin' liar ?" "You are." "I ain't no wuss den yerse'f, boss; case yourse'f tole a lie jes' ter see ef I'd tell one. White man's got ter git outen de bed mighty soon in de mornin' ter beat me tellin' ob a lie, lemme tell yer."?Arkansaw Traveler. He Touched Him.?John Phoenix, the American humorist, being one night at a theatre, fancied he saw a friend some three seats in front of him. Turning to his next neighbor, he said: "Would you be kind enough to touch that gentleman with your stick ?" "Certainly," was the reply, and the thing was done. But when the individual thus assaulted turned round, Phoenix saw he WHS not. thp man hp took him for. and be came at once absorbed in the play, leaving his friend with the stick to settle matters with the genteman in front, which, as he had no excuse handy, was not done without considerable trouble. When the hubub was over the victim said: Didn't you tell me to tap that man with my stick?" "Yes." "And what did you want?" "Oh," said Phoenix, with imperturbable gravity, "I wanted to see whether you would or would not." Business and Death.?A man falls from a scaffold. The reporter hastens to the spot and pushes his way to the man's side. "My life voyage is nearly ended," whispered the dying man, as he held the reporter's hand. "My soul, like an unfinished craft, is being swept from its earthly mooring, and carried out iutc the great pathless ocean of eternity. Oh! how the unprepared spirit shrinks from embarking upon that silent, solemn sea! I have a wife and beautiful child, who will mourn my absence; and now that I see no future, nothing but the dark, impenetrable shadow of death, which will soon hide me from earthly eyes, the world looks more beautiful, and 1 long? Oh! how I long to stay. Good-bye, goodfarewell. Pre?pare for this?" His head dropped. "Courage, courage," whispered the reporter, while tears as big as hickory nuts chased each other down his nose; "but business is business. Courage," he whispered; "howhow do you spell your name ?" A couple of medical students disinterred a subject one winter's night, and, having dressed it, placed it sitting upright on the seat of a covered wagon, and started home. Coming to a tavern, and seeing the bar-room lighted un, they left the wagon and went in for a urink. The hostler observing a man sitting in the wagon, attempted some conversation, but receiving no answer, he discovered how the affair stood, and instantly resolved to have a little fun of his own on this occasion. So taking the corpse into the stable, he seated himself in the wagon. The students soon returned and took their seats by the side of the supposed dead man, when one of them remarked tremulously to his companion : "He is warm, by heaven !" "So would you be warm," replied the corpse, "if you had been where I have been as long as I have." Was Much "Obleecjed."?A merchant, after satisfying himself that a certain customer did not intend to pay his bill, sent him a receipt for the full amount. By return mail he received the following note: "Uster have my doubts about you bein' a gentleman, but I am satisfied on that pint. There is a great difference in men. One time I owed a fellow a bill, and after dunnin' me nearly to death he sent me a receipt for half of the amount, and blamed if he didn't finally make me pay the other half. But you have done the square thing by me, an' I am much obleeged to you." " - A Cotton Caterpillar Preventive.? "Well, boss," says he, "I isn't had any caterpillars in mveotton dis year. I has learnt how to keep" 'em out. "Well, how was that?" his questioner inquired fervently. "Well, you see boss, when dey fust comes you iust catch nine of 'em and kill eight, and den tell de oder to git an' tell de crowd dat dey mus move dey quarters. Dey'11 do it ebry time, boss, and you need.i't to doubt it..

"Ah, don't eh,,' mildly replied old Barnstable "er?er?how do you think you would like it if it suited you?"?liftings. ? $he Jam and Jirrsiih. Training of Farmer's Son's.?The grandest product of the farm, according to Sanger's Journal, is the boys and girls. In every avenue of life where thrift, capacity and energy are required, the man who pushes to the front is the son of a farmer. He has the intelligence. There is a sort of broad common sense running through his acts. He has a constitution that can endure labors. It is a notable fact that in the colleges of our country the best students are the boys from the farm. In the work-shops, in the halls of legislation, at the bar, in the forum, in the pulpit, ninety-nine hun- < dredth's of the men who stand upon the summit were once boys on the farm. They were barefooted, wore patched clothes and worked for their bread. Almost one-half of the people in this country reside in towns. Where are the town-bovs in the race for life? Fooling, curling their hair, nolishintr their boots while the rough coun try boy is plunging barefooted on the road to fame. With a book under one arm, and a few extra clothes in his hand, he passes the elegant home of the town boy, and he looks on ease and luxury for the first time. He may be called a tramp, and be refused a crust oi bread. One day he will return and buy that mortgage-covered house. Where did that boy get his noble purpose and his unfaltering courage? They were born to him on the farm ; they were woven into his fibre by early years of toil; the warp and woof of his life were threads of gold. Love of Home.?The affections which bind a man to the place of his birth are essential in his nature, and follow the same law as that which governs every innate feeling. They are implanted in his bosom along with life, and are modified by every circumstance which he encounters from the beginning to the end of his existence. The sentiment which in the breast of any man is an instinctive fondness for the spot in which he drew his early breath, becomes, by the progress of mankind, and the formation of society, a more enlarged feeling, and into the noble passion of patriotism. The love of country, the love of the village where we were born, of the field which we first pressed with our young tender footsteps, of the hillock which we first climbed, are the same affection, only the latter belongs to each of us separately; the first can be known but by men united in masses. It is founded upon every advantage which a nation is * . ?i ?i ?... supposed lO possess, UllU is iiicreunru. u_> ctxry improvement which it is supposed to receive. Mingling Stock.?Stock, to be perfectly healthy, must have an opportunity of mingling with other living things of various kinds. The old idea of the healthy effect goats have upon stable horses, is only one phase of a great truth that it takes the emanations of all active life to perfect every other life. Cattle should be pastured near or in conjunction with hogs and horses. The action of one upon the other is always beneficial; and the young, playful and sociable, always make friends with each other in sucn a way that much inconvenience may be spared the owner. Put sheep and young cattle together and each will grow in strength one-third faster. Put horses and ( goats, or even young cattle, in the same lot, and each will grow the better?will feed easier and will grow with finer results. , Whenever the natural instincts of domes- , tic animals can have play they tend con- ! fidence and general affection for all liv- . ing forms. A cat is the only living thing which loves no other animal; if it endures them it is a stretch of magnanimity which actually contradicts its honest nature. How to Keep Onions.?Many complain that onions do not keep. The trouble is in keeping them too warm. The onion is a bulb?a plant at rest?and the least warmth starts it into activity. It is much better that onions should remain frozen through the winter, provided they can thaw gradu ally, than to" be put into a cellar or other warm place where their vegetative powers will be aroused. If put in large heaps, onions will be sure to spoil; but if spread in thin layers and converted with hay or straw, so that if frozen the thawing will be gradual, they will keep well through the winter. It is the custom with onion growers to get their crop to market as soon as possible. If they were to provide proper storage they would realize much more Irom them when sent to market later in the season. Legs and Feet of Horses.?The feet of horses require particular attention. It is an old saying with horsemen, "Keep the feet and legs in order and the body will take care of itself." The legs of a horse are the first to fail. The horse, when brought in from severe protracted service should be rubbed down dry. His legs, from his knees and hocks down, should be well hand-rub D(?C1, SO TTllil/ 1*111? incilUIl Will ticmv lusciiDible perspiration; that will tend to prevent swelled legs, stiff' joints and sprung knees. When the legsare levered from over-driving they should be bandaged with wet cloths to take away the heat and prevent wind galls that prove eyesores, and which, without diminishing his capacity for labor, materially affect the market value of the horse. Tiip: Origin of Wheat.?Wheat ranks by origin as a degenerate and degraded lily. The pedigree of wheat,is traced from the time when its ancestors first diverged from the common stock of the lilies and the water plantations to the time when the savage man found it growing wild upon the untitled plains of prehistoric Asia and took it under his special protection in his little garden plats around his wattled hut, whence it was gradually altered under his constant selection into the golden grain that now covers half the lowland tilth of Europe and America. There is no page in botanical history more full ofgenuine romance than this; and there is no page in which evidence is clearer or more convincing for those who will take the easy trouble to read it aright. Protecting Fruit Trees.?Take of pine tar one part, ashes or soot three parts, pulverized clay three parts, and soft soap two parts, with water sufficient to give the mix- ; ture the proper consistency, and apply to the body of the tree as high as a rabbit can reach. The scent will remain on the tree through the winter. The rains wash the strength of the'solution down, by degrees, around the collar of the tree and keep out the borers. No fear of injuring the tree, j A gallon of tar will make enough of the wash for a thousand trees, from two to three inches in diameter, and is said to be a complete protection from rabbits and mice, jus | Removing Stains.?A mixture which ; is excellent in removing grease spots and stains from carpets and clotMng, is made of . two ounces of ammonia, two ounces of white castile soap, one ounce of glycerine, one ( ounce of ether, cut the soap fine, dissolve in one pint of water over the tire; add two quarts of water. Mix thoroughly and wash soiled garments in it. For removing spots, use a sponge or clean flannel cloth, and with a cloth, rub as dry as possible. Wool- j len goods may be made to look bright and fresh by being sponged with this. | B?""Those who have grape vines of the 1 hardy sorts, will do well to see that they ; are now trained as well as pruned.

To Pickle Meat in One Day.?Take a tub of rain or river water and put two pieces of thin wood across it and set the beef on them, distant about an inch from the water; heap as much salt as will stand on your beef, and let it remain twenty-four hours; then take it off and boil, the water having drawn the salt completely through the meat.

It is a land of forests and glades, of undulating prai res and valleys of transcendent loveliness. In fertility of soil, salubrity of climate, and advantages of natural irrigation by many streams, it is a land superior to Kansas, and comparable to Missouri and Illinois. It is larger than Illinois, larger than Missouri, larger than New England. There is no more desirable portion of the continent for the abode of an 1 merican population ; there is no other unsettled territory fhnf ;? hnlfsn dpsirnhle. It is a nart of this American land ; and yet, by the power of their government, American citizens arc rigorously excluded from it. By treaties made with some foreign "nations," known as tribes of wandering barbarians, it has been consecrated to their exclusive possession and occupancy. The Cherokee "nation," of less than 20,000 individuals, occupies one corner; the Choctaw "nation," of 15,000 individuals, another ; the Creek "nation" of a like number, a central section; and the Chickasaw "nation," of 0,000 individuals, a section south of that. Besides these the territory contains the following "nations The Comanche, 2,800 persons ; the Cheyenne, 0,400 persons; the Osage, 2,000 persons; the \\ itchita, 1,200; the Pawnee, 1,200; the Pottawatomie, the Otoe, the Seneca, the Ponca, the Sauk, the Nez Perce, the Shawnee, the Modoc, the Ottawa, the Quapaw, the Kaw, and three or four others, numbering from 300 down to no mor e than fifty persons each. The aggregate population of all these "nations" is somewhat over seventy thousand persons, and, as the area of the territory is over 70,000 square miles, it will be seen that the average density of population is one person to every square mile, or G40 acres of the best land in America to every male, female, adult and infantile Cherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Comanche, Quapaw, etc .?Chicago Time*.

As he left fifty-four living children out of a progeny numbering seventy-two souls, it is not to be wondered that they turn u p everywhere. Some of the sons who are in business here, be it said, are exemplary and most agreeable men; while among the daughters are numbered some ladies who are unexcelled in graces of heart and mind. But alas! there has been a sadly large number of male scamps and female sirens in the list. The daughters may be found among the demi monde of this city, San V ^ ?

Here is Mormonism's own answer to Moririonism! Even Amelia, the favorite, the beloved seventeenth wife of the old patriarch, after whom the Amelia palace was named, remembered her liege lord but four short months after his taking off, and then became the "life partner" of another. And there are wives living here who bitterly tell now of the days when Amelia rode about behind Brigham's best span while they, more faithful wives, took in washing to earn a subsistence. Two of the daughters were married on the same night to a leading Mormon, and are now living together in his harem on one cf the principal streets here.?Salt Lake City Cor. of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. IX'ties of Daily Life.?Life is not entirely made up of great evils or heavy trials: but the perpetual recurrence of pet. ty evils and trials is the ordinary and appointed exercise of the Christian graces. To bear with the failings of those about us? with their infirmities, their bad judgment, their ill breeding, their preverse tempers; to endure neglect when we feel we deserve attention; and ingratitude where we expected thanks; to bear with the company of disagreeable people whom Providence has placed in our way and whom he has provided on purpose for the trial of our virtue, these fire the best exercises of patience and self denial, and the better because not chosen by ourselves. To bear with vexation in business, with interruptions of our retirement, with folly, intrusion, disturbance,?in short, with whatever opposes our will or contradicts our humor?this habitual acquiescence appears to be more of the essence of self-denial than any little rigors or afflictions of our own imposing. The constant, inevitable, but inferior evils properly improved, furnish a good moral discipline, and might, in the days of ignorance, have superceded pilgrimage and penance.?Hannah More. Salutary Use ok Water.?As regards the free use of water, under some conditions of the digestive organs, it may be said that no agent can prove safer or more salutary. Those who have morbid conditions of the stomach and bowels, which do not so far impair the general vigor as to prevent attention being given to the ordinary duties of life, can often use large drafts of water, especially in the morning, with manifest advantage. Obstinate constipation is thereby removed, the normal peristaltic motions of the bowels are restored, and the secretions may be vastly improved. We notice the salutary influence of water-drinking upon many of those who resort to the so-called mineral springs which abound in the country. It is not necessary that these springs should hold abnormal quantities of salts of any kind to effect cures; it is only necessary that the water should be pure. Spring waters that are charged heavily with saline ingredients, like some of those at Saratoga, are positively injurious to nearly or quite all who use them freely.?Popular Science News. Tjie Author of the "Elegy."?Gray, like the majority of eminent men, owed much to his mother beyond the accident of his birth. She was compelled to separate from her husband on account of his ungovernable temper, and though in comparatively straitened circumstances, contrived to send her son to Eaton, and afterward to Cambridge university. He repaid the debt with life-long devotion and affection, remaining unmarried for her sake, and leaving nothing undone that could contribute to her comfort and happiness. She was buried in .StokoPogis churchyard, the scene of the "Elegy," and he sleeps by her side in the lovely spot fhnt. is now one of the shrines of literature. That lightning killed his soil is the belief of a farmer in Newton, J11. He writes: "This summer, when my corn was two feet high, the lightning struck it, kill ing a patch about 100 square feet in extent. It seemed to have killed the ground, as neither weed nor spear of grass lias grown on it since. The ground looks dead, and I believe it is. Occasionally these spots are met with all over the prairies. The people account for them as buffalo tramps, where buffaloes congregated in fly time and tramped until they killed the soil, but from the above occurrence I account for them as having been struck by lightning." 6ST An Austin small boy was recently discovered purloining some apples from the front of a grocery store. The proprietor ?ave chase but failed to overtake him, and was obliged to shake his fist and shout after him: "Never mind, my young kid, I'm woing to see your mother about this." "That'sall right," yelled back the small boy. "You just go right along up there. Pa filled a man full of buckshot the other day for ^oing to see my ma, and I reckon he's got another dose laid away for you.?Sifting*. Professional sword swallowers apparently perform startling feats, but it is a well-known fact that the back parts of the mouth are capable of becoming, through habit, accustomed to. abnormal contacts. By constant practice the sword swallower accustoms his pharynx to the contact of large objects, such as swords, canes and even billiard cues. This accomplishment, however, is acquired only by gradual and painful efforts. + ? I6r Few people reflect upon the fact that the Indians are the richest landholders in the UnitedStates. We have 239,OGG of them exclusive of the Alaska Indians, holding 151,397,768 acresof land. Some of the tribes own 3,000 acres per Indian. The average is about one square mile to each Indian, while a white man is not allowed to pre-empt more than 1G0 acres of the public land. ! YORKVILLE ENQUIRER. PROSPECTUS FOR 1884.

BRADFIBLD'S FEMALE REGUlATOK This famous remedy most happily meets the de mand of the age for woman's peculiar and multiform afflictions. It is a remedy for WOMAN ONLY, and forONE SPECIAL CLASS of her diseases. It is a specific for certain diseased conditions of the womb, and proposes to so control the Menstrual Function as to regulate all the derangements and irregularities of Woman's MONTHLY SICKNESS. Its proprietor claims for it no other medical property; and to doubt the fact that this medicine does positively possess such controlling and regulating powers is simply to discredit the voluntary testimony of thousands of living witnesses who are to-day exulting in their restoration to sound health and happiness. gBADFIELD'B pEMALE pBQULATOR is strictly a vegetable compound, and is the product of medical science and practical experience directed towards the benefit of SUFFERING WOMAN ! It is tho studied prescription of a learned physician whose specialty was WOMAN, and whoso fame became enviable and boundlesa because of his wonderful success in the treatment and cure of female complaints. THE REGULATOR is the GRANDEST REMEDY known, and richly deserves its name: WOMAN'S BEST FRIEND, Because it controls a class of functions the various derangements of which cause more ill health than oil other causes combined, and thus rescues her from a long train of afflictions which sorely embitter her me, ana prematurely cna ner existence. Ohl what a multitude of living witnesses can testify to its charming effects. WOMAN I take to your confidence this PRECIOUS BOON OF HEALTH! It will relieve you of nearly all the complaints peculiar to yojr sex!
