CHARCOAL FOR SHEEP.-One of the best
medicines, for human beings, is finely pulver-
ised charcoal, keep corked in q closed vial
or jar, one-halfa teaspooufull mixed with
five times its bulk of water, forming an a.
greeable and excellent remedy for almost
any kind of deranged stomach, and in lar
ger doses constitutinga very mild and per-
fectly safe laxative. There is no doubt that
that the same remedy would often prove of
great service to domestic animals. AL
though we have never seen it tried, we
confidently predict that half a pint to a pint
powdered. charcoal, mixed with two to four
quarts of water would prove and admirable
remedy for hoven in cattle. We observed
that a correspondent ola late paper has used
charcoal mixed with salt for his sheep with
the best results he had found them to suffer
much on wet pastures, until he made use
of this remedy, after which they Immediately
presented a more healthful appearance.

Stepping up to the lady, with a palpitating

Her ~lustrous eyes shone with unwonted

CRY THE 0TTARTn

edo you retail liquor here ?" said a red
nosed soak to a well-dressed, respectable
merchant. "No, notexactly," said the mer-
chant. "Edzactly," said the topper, "what
do you by mean that 2" "Why, we don't
sell by the drink or gill-we can't be guilty
of that filthy, low practice, but we sell by the
quart or more. "Edzacty, but what is a
poor fellow to do, who haint got no jug?"
"Have you got the cash to pay for a quart p
said our respectable dealer in goods, wares
and merchandise. eyes forty quarts, and
more :" Well, I guess we can accommo-
date you, if you'll be particular" Chow So,
old hoss-you are chatting now" "Well,
you can drink a quart during the day, can't
you?" why, by POUNDS, I can go two on

we'll put the quart in a stone pitcher in our
back room, and during the day as you need,
ifthere be no particular kind Of people, such
as ladies and gentleman about, you can walk
quietly into the back room and take your
drink and then slope" Jewell, here's the
real stuff" The quart was drawn and put in
the stone pitcher, and the topper swigged a
fourth of it, and put. Trudging on slowly,
the topper began to ~soliliquize, "Ugh!" that's
whipping the devil around the stump nicely.
I shall be considered a gentleman after all
Il don't mean to drink in q low doggery
again, [ gifts it from a respectable merchant
and drinks in his back room-he don't re-
tail, but he sells by the quart! he, he,
hum" Here, he laughs outright, and wends
his way, whistling.
Now, this, We opine, is one case in a thou
sand, and it shows the utter folly of making
a distinction between a wholesale and retail
dealer. If the sale of intoxicating liquors
be tolerated at all-ifit be an article which
the State should tax under any circumstan-
ces, why burden the poor retailer with a tax,
and allow the more responsible merchant or
grocer, to sell free of charge, ''by the quart
or more?" The thing is preposterous-nay,
ridiculous. If the vending of spurious Ii.
quorsi in any quantity bea Legitimate bust
ness-such an one as the State will allow and
recognise, why should not every dealer in
them, be treated alike? Common sense, E.
quail justice, demand it, and our Legislators,
whose duty it is to provide for the cost of
government, should look to it.

HONORABLE CoND1T1oNs.-Many years
in what is row a fourishing city in this
State, lived a stalwart blacksmith, fond of
his pipe and his joke. He was also fond
of his blooming daughter, whose many graces
and charms had ensnared the affections OF a
susceptible young printer. The couple, af-
ter a season of mutual billing and cooing,
"engaged" themselves, and nothing but the
consent of the young lady's "parient" pre-
vented their union. To obtain this, an in
terview was arranged, and Typo prepared a
little speech to astonish and convince the
old gentleman, who sat enjoying his pipe in
perfect content, Typo dilated upon the fact
of their long friendship, their mutual at.
tachment, their hopes of the future, and
like topics, and taking the daughter by the
hand, said /: II now, sir, ask your permits
sion to transplant this lovely flower from its
parent bed"-buthi "pheelinks" overcame
him, he forgot the remainder of his rhctori-
cal flourish, blushed stammered, and finally
wound up with, efrom its parent bed, into
my own p! The father keenly relished the
discontinue of the %suitor, and after removing
his pipe and blowing a cloud, replied:
"Well, young man, I don't know as I've

gal frst!" ' -"

BITE OF A MAD DoG.-A writer in the
National Intelligencer says that spirits of
hartshorn is a certain remedy for the bite of
a mad dog. The wound, he adds, should
be constantly bathed with it and three or four
doses, diluted, taken inwardly, during the
day. The hartshorn ~decomposes chemically
the virus insinuated into the wound, and
Immediately alters and destroys its deleteri-

How HE DID IT.-Some twenty years
SINCE, my father bought a farm which was
"worked to DEATH! as the ~neighbors said
Well, he found out how it had been worked,
when we put a heavy team and new polw, to
work, and the virgin soil was turned up six
inches below the four inches worked to
death. Our ~neighbors prophesied a failure,
and when our crops We'd with and exceed
ed their, own, they were full of surmisings
as to the wonderfulstraugers who were so
successful in renewing such killed soil.

a neighbor asked my father, one morning, Eas
they were looking at the deep, green waving
corn, growing so rankly therein. -:
-" Flowed deep plowed deep !" answered
he, " there is nothing like blowing deep and
thoroughly pulverizing the soil, to bring
good crops in all kinds of weather"
That field had been used asa meadow, some
fifteen years, producing half a ton of hay
to the acre. We broke it up deep, planted
one year, sowed oats the nextwith clover and
timothy, and the third, cut two tons to the
acre.
Another field has been used for oats the
same length of time. We produced but poor
oats, as SO much deep, new soil was turned
up, never having been exposed to the wealth

Now, gentlemen, I want to make a bril-
liant appeal to the kind symmetries of your
nature, and see ifI can't warp your Judg-
mentsa little in favor Of, my unfortunate CHI
ent here, and then I shall fetch my argu-
meuts to q close. Hereis a poor man, with
Numerous wife and child depending for

to feel for the misfortunes of my client, and
I humbly calculate that you will not permit
the gushing of your symperthizing hearts to
be squenched in the bud by the surruptions
and superogating arguments Of my ignorant
opponent on the other side.
The law expressly declares, gentlemen, in
the beautiful language of Shakespeare, that
where no doubt exists of the guilt of the
prisoner, it is your duty to lean on the siae
of justice, and fetch him in innocent. If
youkeep this fact in view in the case of my
client, gentlemen, you will have the honor
of making a friend of him and all his rela-
tions, and you can alters look upon this oc.
casion and reflect with pleasure that you did
as you have been done by; but if, on the
other hand, you disregard this great prin-
ciple of law, and set at naught my eloquent
remarks, and fetch him in guilty, the silent
witches of conscience. will follow you over
