Of the large amount of dividends and interest now IN

GooD FOR A SHAvE-During the "shin-

in Washington, issued certain fppennybit
notes, which purported on the face to be re,
deemable in specie, atsight, when presented
in sums of not less than five dollars; or,
singly, "good for shave" at his establish,
ment. One day, while occupied in lather'
ing down customer, he was accosted by a
boy, who merely held out to him two of his
own notes.
"Vat you want-eh p inquired Monsieur.
"NIaster says I'm to get a shillin' for these
notes sir."'
"a shccliny! Par'dieu! can not your
mastare read Does he know vat de note say

TAKING THEM DOWN,

= A friend tells us good story illustrative
Of fact which is not so generally credited
in certain circles as it ought to be. We will
repeat the story for its moral:
At St. -- is a college, whose students
did not excite the most profound admiration
for their common sense. The youths were,
generally, drawn from the wealthy classes,
and seemed to think college course every
thing that was necessary to fit them for a
leading position in society. At one of the
commencements, Judge H., one of the most
admirable lawyers, and one of the most ex.
cellent men in the State, was chosen for the
M Pr Kappa address. His subject, by a
vote of the graduating class, was recommen'
ded to be, eThe Dignity of College Educa,
tion;" and the public was quite qui rire on
the occasion, expecting something very fine.
The evening came, and with it densely
crowded hall to listen to the Judges oration.
When all was ready, he came forward, and
the following was his speech:
"Ladtes and Gentlemen, and Young Men
Of the Graduating Class:
"You see before you man who never er-
perienced college education. He was born
of poor parents; he grew to boyhood on a
plough handle, and to manhood a-foot and
alone. His education was CLEANED from tomb.

stones and sign-posts, and his first honors
came in the shape of a two dollar fee for
pleading the cause ofa negro, who had been
knocked down by college student From
that day have entertained contempt for
"college-bred boys, cellege morals and COL
lege requirements and I feel happy, on
this occasion, Of tcstif7ing Of the thankful
ness for the poverty which kept me out of
college, and threw NE back upon my own re-
sources and energy for living. They have
not failed me; and trusting that you may
profit by my example, here wish that you
may all take your first lessons in common
sense by going to the plough handle, and
working yonr way up to the defence of a ne
gro: then YOU will be fitted for some degree
of usefulness, according to the degree OF
brains God has invested you with"
So saying, the Judge bowed himself from
the stage, amid such storm of applause as
rarely grects speaker. He evidently had
made shit" in several ways, not the least
of which was teaching the young men that
true eminence can come as well from the
ploughsharc as from the college.-Art Jour-
nal.

WATER DRINKERS EXPERIENCE.

The following pleasant lines were communicated
by ]. Martin, an English chalk-digger. to the
British Workman. We take them from the Oct.
number of that beautiful and excellent sheet.
I've work in the heat, ard I've workd in the cold
I've work'd with the young, and I've WORK u "i'h
the old,
Pve work'd very late, and I've work'd very soon,
pye york'd by the sun, and Eve work'd by the
moon;
But Pm sure I can tell you without any fear
] can work very we'll without any beer.
Eve work'd far from home, and I've work'd rather
sa nigh,
Pve workd in the wet, and I've work'd in the dry,
Pyeyork'd amongst corn. and Eve work'd amongst
- hay,
I've work'd by the piece, and I've work'd by the
- day,
And I'm sure can tell you without any fear:
can work very we'll withoutany beer.
I've work'd amongst lime, and I've work I'd amongst
s. chalk, . .
I've workd amongst still folks, and those that could
-,:s talk, z.rs ....
Pve work d amongst iron, and I've work d amongst
I've workd amongst bad, and I've work d amongst
good, ~
But wherever 90, there's nothing to fear
So much as the foolish, made foolish by beer
Pve wrote and I've read, Pve summ'd and I've
talk'd, -.. .. ....
I've been out on pleasure, with friends I've walkd,
But never, no, never 10 use could see
Of taking strong drink, so hurtful to me;
Thus I'm sure can tell you without any fear,
These things can be managed without any beer.

n@% Att hickory raising in Norfolk, Va,
when large concourse, covering the whole
street, was gathering around the stand, listen
ing to the speaker, the Know-Nothing pro-
cession-which had several times during the
evening came near getting into row with
the emocratic-attempt pied to march through
the crowd, doubtless to interrupt the speak
ers. III feeling at once arose, two or three
were knocked down who would not give way,
several pistols were fired of, and a serious
riot was about to occur, when VIM. Lamb,
ESQ.,, editor Of the .Southern Argus, who
was presiding, arose, stopped the speaker,
who was vainly endeavoring to he heard, and
pointing his finger with an air of scorn at
the advancing procession, shouted loud
enough to be heard above the uproar:
Democrats, stand back and let the ta-
neral passw The effect was electrical; the
Democrats gave way with three loud cheers,
the Know -Nothings countermarched, and
order was restored.

ENGLISH NoDE or FATTENINGP POULTRY.
The food usually selected for fattening
poultry is not meal mixed either with scald-
ing milk Or water. Coopci fow!s should be
supplied with fresh food three times daily,
namely, at daybreak, or as soon after as pos.
sible; at mid day, and again at rocsting
time. As much as they can eat should be
given them on each occasion, but no more
than can be devoured before the new meal !;
should any be left, it should be moved and
given to other fowls, as, if kept, it is apt to
become sour, when the birds will not cat free
ly. The troughs for the soft meal should be
scalced out daily, which can only be done
conveniently by having supply of spare
ones. In addition to soft food, Il supply Of
fresh, clean water must be constantly present,
and Il little gravel must be given daily, 9TH
erwise the grinding action of the gizzard
which is necessary to the due digestion of the
food, does not go on satisfactorily; the sup
ply of little sliced cabbage Or turnip tops,
or green turf to pick occasionally, being
all that is required. A variation in the food
will be found very conducive to an increased
appetite, and therefore the occasional aubsti-
tuition of feed of boiled barley for the
slakcd oat meal is desirable Some feeders
have u division in their troughs, or still bet
ter, small extra trough, which always con-
tains some grains for the fowls to peck at
Should the birds be required very fat, some
mutton suet Or trimmings of the loin may
be chapped up and boiled iu the milk or wa
ter preparatory to its being poured over the
food. and the fat of fowls so fattcd will be
found exceedingly firm.
