A FAT JoKE.-The American Courier
asserts il to be fact. A lady in Spruce
street, wishing 10 get clear of the OLA,
fat, grease, &C., that had accumulated
in the kitchen, directed nn English gIrl,
who had recently come into her employ,
TO call the first fat man she saw in the
street, stating tina, she wanted to see
him. The good creature thinking that
the term " fat" applied TO the mans
size. and not TO his busness--a little
while after, on going to the door saw a
man whose corporation justified her in
informing him that her missus wished 10
see him, if he would be so kind as to
step in. He did so, and was seated in
the parlor. The girl called her mistress
down stairs to attend to the fat man.
When she had descended she was in
formed he was in the parlor. {" In The
parlor!' exclaimed Mrs., "and
what is he doing in the parlor - She
hurried in, and there discovered a gen.
temanly looking parsonage, with hat
off, waiting TO hear the cause of his de-
tention. The lady, whose presence of
mind did not forsake her, Immediately
saw the whole mistake, and apologized
for the ridiculous error. The fat man
left evidently much amused at the joke.

CARRoTs FOR COFFEE. Wash and
scrapc the outside off then cut i'll pieces
the size of about half an inch square
then dry on stove. Parch and grind
like coffee ; or mix equal portions Of car
rot and coffee and grind and make your
coffee as usual.
If you know it to be mixed you may
say that it tastes little sweeler than
coffee generally. We got our iniorma-
ton from our ncighbors who came from
Germany few years ago; and who say
in their country there are large factories
where it is packed in pound papers and
sold. Prairie Far.

Mich Cows AT WoRk.-ln some
parts of England, though very rarely, but
in many parts of the Continent, and cs-
pecially in Switzerland, the small far
mels use their milch-cows for work, thus
getting a double advantage from them !;
and mlch-cow, used tendery, and
treated literally, may be worked from
four to six hours a day without injury to
her milk. This saving is a great cir
cumstance. On large arabic farms it
may be calculated, that frcm fourth TO
a third of the produce must be counted
for the support, and equipments, and cost
of the teams. The saving of this expense
is great affair and this is accomplished
on small holdings where COWS are kept,
which pay the expense of thier keeping
by labor and their calf; or where, as in
many cases, the whole cultivation is per-
formed by human, instead of brute labor
by the spade instead of the plough
believe, therefore, it will be found
that in fair comparison, the small farms
are in fact more productive than the
large ones, that they are managed at les.

leave more for human consumption.

THE ELDEST DAuGHTER.--The de-
pertinent of the eldest children of the
flmily is of great importance TO the youn-
ger. Their obedience or INSTRUMENTATION
operates throughout the whole circle.
Esl ecially is the situation of the eldest
daughter one of eminence. She drank
the first draft Of mothers love. She
usually enjoys much of her counsel and
companlonship. In her absence she is
the natural viceroy. Let the mother
take double pains TO form her on cor
rect model to make her amiable, dill
gent, domestic, pious trusting that the
image Of those virtues may leave an i'm
preston on the soft, waxen hearts or tho
younger ones, 10 whom she may, in the
providence of God, be called to fiji ,ho
place of maternal guide.

A Coon STORY. The Philadelphia
Republican says the following events
took place years ago among the noun
tains of Pennsylvania.
Old Jacob-, Rev. Mr., now
perhaps, for he is living somewhere down
east, chad an appointment" a mile or
two north of the Conemaugh river, near
its head-a little thunder-gust stream
that would rise in q lreshct ten or If
teen feet in as many hours, and run dry
again, almost as quick. He reached the
southern bank one day when the river
was behaving IFS very worst. The pco-
pie on the other side called to him that
it was above "rideable ORDER" and he
"musn't venture" But Jacob had his
appointment TO keep, and as his rule was
no postponement on account OF weather,
he did venture" His horse was strong
and his heart stout, and the river was
not very broad but it was little deep
err and wickeder than he had contracted
for. Near the opposite shore the tide
was too much for him, and he began to
go down stream rapidly. The current
drifting toward an eddy that was raging
like a whirlpool. He saw it, and made
a vigorous effort TO grasp the branch of
tree that hung over the swollen wafer.
1t broke in his hand and the chances
seemed desperate. Firmly grasping
the pummel of his saddle, he cried out
in his stentoriap preaching tones, =" Lord,
thou hast promised 'to be with thy SER
wants in difficulty, and it is pretty near
time to do something" The next mo-
'mcnt he was rolling in the waves and
thrown against the bank. The folks
who had warned him against the attempt
quickly fshed him out, and after little
more rolling and shampooing on the
shore, " he came to-" His first words
were "now, if had my horse, it is still
time 10 keep my appointment"
The little congregation that had gath
cred from miles around, got their SER
mon, and Jacob went on refreshed and
happy TO his next appointment"
