AYANKEE TRIoK.-We remember, when
we. were living down east, of neighboring
farmer hiringa jolly Trishman, who was very
fond of learning tricks. One day his employ
er asked him if be would like to learn a
Yankee trick Bringing him to the end Of
brick barn, Jonathan laid his open hand
against the wall remarking-
sPat I'll bet the liquor you can't hit my
hand
dts donep says Pat, making vicious
blow at the palm Of the hand, but it being
quickly Withdrawn he succeeded in peellng
the skin and flesh from his knuckles.
That's darn nasty trick? roared Pat,
sbut howled on, I'll cheat somebody else.'
A few months passed, an Pats brother
came from Ireland as green as early peas
They both labored together, but Pat was un-
asy till he would learned his brother the
Yankee trick.
4 Jim, did you ever learn Yankee trick !?
sNiver.'
Pat finding himselfin the centre of large
field, thought it would be great loss of time
to 20 to the barn, and reaching out his open
hand, he cried
Strike that, if you can!
Jim made desperate pass, but Pat having
pulled away his hand Jim fell over after the
blow, remarking, that 'that was an old wo-
mans trick

CURING GREEN CoRN.-The following is
the Indian method by which they treat green
corn for making succotash, &c., during win
ter. When the green corn is fit for use, a
pit is dug from two TO three feet in diameter
at the top, and gradually enlarging it at bot
tom, say FIVE feet down, from six to eight
feet in diameter. A large fire is then built
near by, on which stones are heated, and
when redhot the stones and live Goals are
shovelled into the bottom of the pit, and
sprinkled over with fine loose dirt. The corn
is then thrown in with the husks on, just as
it is pulled from the stalk, until the pit is
nearly y full. Then comes thin layer of loose
dirt, then hot stones, (enough to close the
pitt and the whole covered with earth to re-
tain the heat. When the whole cools off,
(Which takes several days. the pit is opened,
and the corn is found to be most delighfully
cooked. When cool the husks are stripped
off, and the corn dried in the sun; when
thoroughly dried the corn is shelled off easily,
and is then packed away in bags for use.

B6- Recently an examination was held in
village school. The pupils had 'read ani
spelt, told the sounds of all the letters thai
had any sound, and then were ranged or
the floor in front of visitors to be looked
at and answer such questions as they or the
teachers saw fit to ask.
'Where was John Rogers burntto death !!
said the teacher to one, in commanding
voice. He couldn't tell. The next
Joshua knows said the little girl at the
foot of the class. WELL said the teacher
'if Joshua, knows he may tell I'm the fire !!
said Joshua, looking very solemn and wise
This was the last question.

B@- The following interesting anecdote
comes to US as true: .... 10.
A man having large family found il
rather hard to keep up the table, and has
adopted the following plan:
At evening just before supper he calls
his children round him and addresses them
thus
Who'll take cent, and do without his
supper .'. g.. ~.'-
Il! I! IF exclaim the children, eager to
get the prize. ed.
The old man pulls out apocket book full
of red cents which he keeps for the occasion,
and after giving them one piece, sends them
off to bed. -.. .-.~a...
Next morning they look like starved
Arabs. The old man calls them round him
and with an air of gravity asks -
who'll give cent to have nice warm
biscuit for breakfast%
1t is needless to say that the cents were
forthcoming. Good plan.

One OF THE MAYoRs.-The worthy May.
or of a Western city, well known to a host
of admiring and warm friends, had "a case
before him in the person Of an individual ta-
ken up on suspicion Of offeringa counterfeit
ed note of hand of we'll known firm, fol
sale. He could not prove its genuineness,
and was committed to Jail until information
could be had from the parties. When, it
came, it was entirely, satisfactory; the note
was good, and the young mans character
was put beyond doubt. The mayor had him
brough: to his Office, and thus addressed him
Young man, it is my duty to congratulate
you on being so fortunate, for had the note
been a counterfeit, you certainly would have
been sent to the Penetentiary; you may co.
and let it be lesson to you r.. o.. ," -
The young man demurred to the sentence,
it being proved that the note came directly
into his hands from the makers of it, and he
insisted that he had been badly treated by
being put in prison several days, and his
character aspersed. .--'-...1 ... 80,
Not at ALL says our worthy dignitary ;
you have had fair investigation, and it is
very fortunate for you that the note proves
to be sgenuine one; for assuredly you would
have been sent to the Penitentiary if it had
been a counterfeit. Now go, and sin no
moreP '-' .
he went-and our aforesaid Mayor cannot
be made to see the. transaction in any other
light than as fortunate thing for the young
man that the note was genuine. -

How TO KEEP INSECTS OUT OF DRIEI
FRu1T.-The Lexington Flag says that pie
ces of sassafras bark put in with dried fruit
will keep all insects away from it. The
statement appears highly probable; for the
fragrance and essential oil of this bark are
very offensive to these pests to every house
keeper.
Try the fresh bark to drive off chinch
bugs, should any reader be troubled with
them.

MATHEMATICAL IDEA OF HoNoR.-A
graduate of certain college gave another
the lie, and a challenge followed. The
mathematical tutor of the college heard Of
the dispute, and sent for the youth, who told
him he must fight. 'Why?' inquired the
mathematician. He gave me the lie.' Very
well-let him proveit. If he provesit you
did lie: and if he does not prove it, he lies
Why should you shoot one another? Let
him prove it,

a TALE OF UNREQUITTED LoVE.-The
editor of the Eureka Union, relates as fol-
lows, how he once fell in love and Fgot the
mitten:'
We were never, kind reader, "desperately
i'm love" but once, and that was with a red
mo, auburn-haired girl, with freckled
complexion, and who had but few preten-
tious to beauty but then she had such real
ly beautiful eyes, deep liquid orbs, through
which her soul, in moments of tenderness,
looked out with. a passionate fervor, and in a
Joyous mirth flashed and sparkled with the
light of thousand dewdrops-diamonds we
. we're going to say-but we never saw thou
sand diamonds.
Her name was sLaura-which when breath.
ed softly by very soft lover, is a very sweet
name, and Ter clear, ringing laugh fell a.
round you like shower of silver BELLS
Moreover she wore dark, wine-colored
dress, trimmed with lilac colored velvet and
black fringe, with a neat little white collar
of fine lace, which is the prettiest of dresses
and has the effect to make very plain CIR
look absolutely charming.
She never perforated her ears to hang
thereby pendulum of brass and glass and
the only ornament Of the littlewhite hand
which needed none, was aplain gold ring
sacred to the memory of a maiden promise
Well, one evening, it was moonlight, in the
summer time-we sat alone on the porch BY
the cottage door, holding that little white
hand in a gentle pressure, one arm had sto
len around her gentle waist, and silent
song of Joy, fike the music of the night,
was in our souls. Our lips met in sweet
delicious kiss, and bending softly to her ear:
we whispereda tale Of passionate devotion
we proposed, and-the little sed-haired thing
refused as!

HARD PEcKING.-A Memphis cores
pondent gives the following passage in
debate between a candidate for gubernatori
al honors, and Gustavus Henry, general.
known as Gus, the Eagle Orator. The de
bate was severe, and excited much interest
The candidate closed his speech with thiI
annihilating defamation
I'VE met this Eagle, and l can say, witt
an honest heart, that he has none of my
flesh on his talons-none of my blood in hi
beak.' ... ... ,...
This was good, and would have been
stumper, but the undismayed Gus immedi
ately rose to his feet and replied 49,.
'Tis true the honorable gentleman hat
met the Eagle, and bears no traces of having
left flesh on his talons or blood upon hi
beak. And yet, It's not strange my friends
