BSy@ Henry Ward Beecher says of the "items
column" in the newspapers, that it sis worth
more than all the small fry of correspondents,
with an editor thrown in to boot Like car
avan, it stretches along in columns, with pack
ages and parcels, spices and gems, bits of fra
GRANGE or cunningly wrought metals, gathered
from the Orient and from the whole world be-
sides. The items of the paper, like the stuffing
ofa Thanksgiving turkey, represent everything
in the house, crusts of bread, crackers, and all
spices'

An oldish and somewhat purblind gentleman

No answer. Question repeated, louder still =

The MAJORS TURKEY STORY" Turkeys used
TO be very plenty here in Indiana" said the old
Major; d" I've seen 'em so thick you couldn't
hardly get about for EN-. They kept the ground
scratched up so meller that feller would sink
kneedeep into it. You nendn't to laugh, for !
can prove every word of it. To let you know
how thick they were, I'll just tell you what did
once. started out one night to kill some tur-
keys, but before got very far found that had
but one bullet with me, excep ing the one in my
gun. Thinks this is a bad job, but I'll do the
best with 'em can. So goes on, and sees a
great many fne-looking turkeys, but they warn't
Fixed to suit me. At last sees about fifty sittin'
all along side by side on one straight limb, so
slips along under 'em scores away, and what do
you think ?'
Expect you killed two at one shot, said
several of the listeners.
"No sir, | didn't shoot at 'em. | split the
limb that they were sittin on, it opened, their
legs slipped through, it slapped together again,
and had 'em all trapped. l then loaded my
gun with the other bullet, blazed away and shot
the limb off close to the tree. Down they came
futterin' and a foppin', and shouldered the
limb and carried them all home"

The Aromatic Schiedam Schnapps

is consequently in great demand by persons
travelling, or about to settle in parts of the
country especially, as well as by many in every
community, where it has become known, on
account of its various other remedial proper
ties.
In all cases of dropsical tendency, it is gen.
orally the only remedy required, when adopted
in the early stage of the disease
In Dyspepsia malades, when taken in proper
quantities, as diet drink, and especially at
dinner, it is found, by uniform experience, to be
eminently eficacious in the most obstinate cases,
when even tie best of the usual remedies have
failed to afford more than temporary relief. In
cases of Flatulency, it is an immediate and in
variable specific, and it may be administered in
diluted and proportionate quantities, even to
Young Infants, in all those paroxysms of gripping
pain in the stomach and bowels to which they
are especially subject, as well as in the collie of
grown persons.
Its judicous adoption in connection with the
principal meals, or when a sense of exhaustion
dictates its use fails to relieve the debil-
ty attendant upon protracted chronic maladies,
low temperament and exhausted vital energy, by
whatever cause induced. These are facts to
which many of the most eminent medical men,
both in England and the United States, have
borne testimony, and which are corroborated by
the highest written authorities.

The P.r.on and the Ale.

nat sluCc us oO piaiu
How needessly we grieve at pain,
How would it be if man
Pursued different plan,
And were to laugh,
And treat the matter lightly:
And not,
When tortured with the gout,
To make wry faces,
Roar and shout,
But to look around,
Agreeably and sprightly.
"Pray tell me, what do you think,
My dearest life,"
Exclaimed the parsons wife,
As after church they sat
In courteous chat:
/" Is t human nature to endure
The sad extremity of woe
That Job you say
Did undergo?
II is more than you orI
Could do, I'm sure!"
"My DEAR" quoth he,
"This diffidence
Shows, let me tell ye, ~
A talent in your sex
We seldom see:
And doubtless the remark
Is true,
AS far as it extends to you,
Tho not, think,
To me.
No woman, since the world began,
Could bear misfortune
Like man
And in good truth, 'twixt you and me,
Without much vanity,
do conceive that | myself
Have shown
That patience
And that strength of mind
Were not entirely confined
To Job alone w
Thus spoke the modest priest,
And would have said much more
But for the sudden opening
Of the door;
When, out of breath,
In stumps
His clownish servant
Humps;
His mouth wide open,
On the parson gazing,
Just like the wight
Who drew
Old Priam's curtains in the night,
To tell him
Troy was blazing.
Well, Numps, the matter?
Speak
Why look'st so pale
Has anything gone wrong?"
Quoth Numps, "The aler'
"Whatl" cried the priest,
"The ale gone sour?'
And then his phiz
Began to lower
Turned sour ?-no, measter-no,
Replied the fellow;
"But just now, as went,
Do ye see,
To tilt the cask,
Away rolled he,
And all the liquors split,
About the cellar"
The fact was, Numps
A cask of ale
Had STAYED.
Now, prithee, tell me
How the priest behaved?
Did he pull off his wig?
Or tear his hair?
Cor like that silly fellow,
Job,
Throw ashes ON his head,
Or rend his robe?
Say, how did he
This dire misfortune bear?
And thus in voice
Of pio' S resignation,
He to his man addressed
This mild oration -
"May God confound thee,
Thou damned stupid bear."
The best of priests, you know,
Will sometimes swear
"What, you must meddlc,
Must ye,
With the barrel,
And be curSt to yel
wish thy paws-od rat EN-
Were in the fire.
Get thee down stairs
This instant, wretch,
Or, by the living God,
I'll kick thy breech
From top to bottom !"
"Nay, now, my dearest"
Cried the dame,
I" Is this thy patience?
Fiel for shame;
beg you'll recollect
Your text.
Job was not half so vexed
When he'd his sons
And daughters to bewail.''

Talk not to me of Job:

Patent Office Agricultural Department.

Hunts Merchants Magazine represents the Tea
plants, recently imported from China by the De-
partment of Agriculture connected with the Pat
ent Office, as being in very thriving condition.
1t says:
Some of them have grown to the height of ff-
teen inches. Others are just appearing from the
seed. The climate seems to be congenial with
them, and the experiment is proceeding salts
factorily. Probably it will be found that not
climate after all, but labor rather the INSULT
cheney of it in the United States, is the impedi-
ment to the successful culture of tea. Much can
be done by the ingenuity of our people in SUBJ
stituting machinery for hands, but the patient
and unskiled labor processes of the Chinese, as
applied to tea making, are not likely to be in-
itiated in any part CT the United States. 1t may
not be generally known that not only are the tea
leaves picked by hand, but they are also curled
up, leaf by leaf by Celestial fingers. Necessity
however, is the mother Of invention and a rela-
tion OF that family, an acute son of New Eng
land has already set his mind upon the tea
curling machine, which promises to do for the
American crop, with thousand fingers of steel,
the work which occupies the digits of million
inhabitants of the Flowery land.
The same article continues:
Many other interesting experiments are going
forward in the tea garden, the result OF which
will, doubtless, be useful to the agriculture of
the country. Mr.. Brown, the Superintendent of
the Department, has l23 varieties of wheat
growing and ready for the sickle The yield of
some of these sorts has been ascertained to be
very far beyond the average of any commonly
produced in the United States. Mr.. Brown is
also naturaizing great numbers of foreign grape
vines, as well as collecting the almost innumer-
able varieties of the American grape, and test
ing their qualities. The wine producing inter-
est of the United States is destined to become
one of vast Importance. The service which the
Department of Agriculture is now endeavoring
to render to that interest, is worth more than the
cost of the entire maintenance since the first ap-
DrODria fion for it's Sunnnrt was made

and well known during the last twelve years
throughout all the Atlantic and Western States.
1t is made from the best barley that can be
selected in Europe, with the essence of an aro-
matte Italian berry, of acknowledged and ex-
traordinary medicinal properties. 1t has long
since acquired a higher reputation, both in Eu-
rope and America, than any other duretic bev-

Analyzed, it is a perfectly pure Liquor, in its
effects mild and wholesome tonic. 1t is ex-

In Gravel, Gout and Rheumatism in obstruc-

invariably reliable and it is not only remedy
for these maades, but in all cases where they
are produced by drinking bad water, which is

Some Husbands do so,

How? The habits of husbands, with regard
to'the treatment of their wives, are so various
that the question can only be answered BY in
dividual specimens of each mode.
Some husbands never leave home in the
morning without kissing their wives and
bidding them good bye, dear" in the tone of
unwearied love; and whether it be policy or
htct it has all the effect of fact and those homes
are generally pleasant ones, provided always
that the wives are apprecative and welcome
the discipline in a kindly spirit. We knew an
old gentleman who lived with his wife for over
fifty years and never left his home without the
kiss and the "good bye, dear"
Some husbands shake hands with their wives
and hurry off as fast as possible, as though the
effort were something that they were anxious
to forget, their heads down and darting round
the first corner.
Some husbands say only, " Well, wife, am
going" and start on the word go" which
comes to then, from some back retreat.
Some husbands before leaving home ask very
tenderly, % What would you like for dinner, my
dear p Knowing all the while that she will select
something for his particular palate, and off he
goes.
Some husbands VIII leave home without say
ing anything at ALL but thinking good deal, as
evnced by their turning round at the last point
of observation and waving an adieu at the
pleasant face, or faces, at the window.
Some husbands never say word rising from
the breakfast table with the lofty indifference
of a lord, and going out with heartless dis
regard of these left behind 1t is n fortunate
thing for their wives that they can find sympathy
elsewhere.
Some husbands never leave home without
some unkind word or look, apparently thinking
that such course will keep things straight in
their absence.
Then on returning
Some husbands come home jolly and happy,
unsecured by the world some sulky and surly
with its disappontments.
Some husbands bring home a newspaper or a
book, and bury themselves for the evening in
the contents.
Some husbands are called away every even
ing by business or social engagements; some
doze in speechless stupidity on a sofa till bed
time.
Some husbands are curious to learn of their
wives what has transpired through the day
others are attracted by nothing short of chlds
tumbling down stairs or the house taking fire.
Depend upon it," says DR.. Spooner, that
home is the happiest where kindness and in
terest and politeness and attention are the rule
on the part Of the husbands-of course all the
responsibility rests with them-and temptation
inds no footing there"
