Grsuse Heating On the Prairie.

The prairie chicken incubates in the tall grass
OF the wild prairie, In fence corners the little
patches Of meadow, and other undistubed hooks
Of the farm, each pair of birds hatching out a
brood of from ten to twelve young on, s--the hen
and the cock relieving each OTHER alternately on
the nest. when disturbed on tho nest, or with
her young brood, the hen has in common with
the quail the plovor, the dove, and other birds,
the faculty Of Stimulating disability, and will ut
ter along, just out Of reach, apparently with
broken wing, until she leads the intruder away
from her nest or brood, when suddenly recovering,
she will take wing and fly away. The proper time
for shooting grouse is betw, on the first ofAugust
and the last Of ctober, during which time they
feedupon the scattered a Ian in the stubble fields,
and lie close to the dog. They are then fat,
tender and juicy, with q fine onmcish flavor.
Until the heavy frosts set in, late in the fall,
each brood lives and foragcs as an independent
community but, on the approach Of wintcr,
they become gregarous, and collect in large
hocks. In cold weather, thoy perch on the
fences, where they arc slaughtered in largo
numbers by the pothunters-the hunter sneak
ing along the fence corners until within
range, and often killing half dozen at
shot. Tho flight Of the grouse, when flushed
by the dog, like that ~ the quail, is In a direct
line. and very rapid. When young, they are
shot readily, even by bunglcrs but when full
grown, il requires quick eve and steady nerve
to bring them down.-Csncinnah Commercial

Preaching and Practice.

The following anecdote of Baptist min
lister of olden times--one of the early
settlers in Buckfeld, Me-, who preached
there sixty years, and died few years ago,
aged ninety -one--a revolutionary soldier,
plain, blunt, uneducated, honest man, of
good natural abilities and great frmness Of
character, Familiarity called UNCLE NAT, is
given by the Boston Journals correspon-
dent L., of Buckfeld, Me.
Uncle Nat was a large and prudent far
mer, and worked himself diligently in the
field, and at the time revolved in his mind
the discourses which he was TO preach on
the next Sabbath 1t is said of him that
sometimes his thoughts were SO much en-
crossed with divine subjects, he would hoe
his rows over twice. He raised large crops
of corn, and yearly surplus to lend or sell
to his neighbors.
One cold night in the winter he had occa-
SION to be out in the evening, and return
ing late, heard a noise in his courthouse, as
of some one Smelling corn; he went in and
found poor man there, who had already
shelled about bushel, which he intended
10 steal. Uncle Nat was very much dis
pleased, and addressed the man bluntly in
this wise.
You pestilent fellowl What in the
name of the world are you doing here al
this time of night-stealing, are you And
don't you know any better? Take your
bas AMI so home. Stopl and take half the

Scenes among the Africans.

Various amusing anecdotes are related
of the poor Africans during their brief So
iourn in the port Of Charleston. The fol-
lowing is said to have been most comical
scene:
Among the Echo's living cargo every
one of whom, be it remembered, were in
the condition in which they entered the
world, and under no obligation to the tailor's
or mantua makers art, was a woman who
was distinguished from the rest by her evil
dent natural brightness and superior looks.
Moreover, she was dressed-not probably
after the fashion of our Broadway bellies
but dressed different from her companions,
nevertheless and like all true women in
snch condition, she felt and evinced her
superiority. She actually had on pair of
gloves, which she wore at all hours with
evident pride in her costume, and felt that
she was in "full tags" She was called par
s.eceileace, "the Queen !" and her story get
ting abroad at Charleston, some ladies re-
quested and obtained permission for her to
visit them. A loose dress was accordingly
furnished her to cover her other defcien-
cies of the article of clothing, and she was
landed from one of the boats and conveyed
to the house of prominent resident of
Charleston. There the servant was order
ed to dress the Queen in hoops, broad enough !
for dame of upper tendon, and a faunt- |
ing gay dress. She was much astonished
and pleased with the dress, but more with
the hoops, which she would endeavor to I
catch as she turned round and round, utter
ing outlandish cries. She also exhibited
some inclination constantly to examine more
closely into the material beneath her outer
dress, but as gentlemen were present she
was prudentially prevented from gratifying
this natural curiosity. After spending some
hours ashore she was conveyed to the beach |
by number of her entertainers.
The boat could not reach high water
mark, and lay some little distance out in
the water. The Queen shook hands all
round with her friends, and then going to
the waters edge, surveyed the boat for an
instant, and after waving last adieu, sud-
denly hoisted dress, hoops, underclothes,
and all, like huge sun bonnet, over her
curley head, and quietly waded out to the
boat The reversal of the purposes of
clothing started the numerous spectators,
and there was most sudden and laugha-
BILE rushing from the boat.

corn. / suppose you are needy, and am
willing to pay you for Smelling; but you are
an idle, good-for-nuthing fellow, and if
ever catch you stealing again, | will have
you sent to jail
AT another time when breadstutf
was scarce, and could be obtained only for
cash, at high prices, man went to Uncle
Nat to buy some corn. How much do
you want to buy? asked the Elder. Six
bushels replied the man. Have you got
the money to pay for it 2 inquired Uncle
Nat. Yes SIR answered the man, have
the cash in my pocket Well them said
Uncle Nat, | cant let you have any. II
you have the money IN yoar pocket, you can
buy corn of those who won't sell it for any
thing else. Some of my neighbors-large
families are very poor and can't get mon
ey and must keep all the corn can
spare, to lend to them, till they can raise
some, or till they can pay me in some other
way
If any soul goes from this dying world
10 heaven, who can doubt that
Uncle Nat is there?

FOretllOugllt.

If man faints away, instead of yelling
out like a savage, or running to him to lift
him up, loosen the clothing, push the crowd
and let him alone. Das hing water over a
person in a simple fainting- fit is a barbarity,
and soils the clothing unnecessarily. The
philosophy of fainting-fit is, the heart fails
to send the proper supply of blood to the
brain; if the person is erect, that blood has
TO be thrown up hill, but if lying down, it
has to be projected horizontally-which re-
quires less power is apparent.s
If person swallows poison, deliberately
or by chance, instead of breaking into null
titudinous and incoherent EXPLANATIONS, dis
patch some one for doctor; meanwhile,
run into the kitchen, get half glass of wa
ter in anything that is handy, put into ii a
teaspoonfull of salt and as much ground
mustard, stir it in an instant, catch firm
hold of the persons nose, the mouth will
soon fly open, then down with the mixture,
and in a second or two up will come the
poison. This will answer in a larger num-
Der of cases than any other if by this
time the physician has not yet arrived,

egg, followed by a cup of strong coffee (be-
cause these nullify larger number of poi
sons than any other accessible articles as
antidotes for that remaining in the stomach.
If a limb or other part of the body is Sc
we're cut, and the blood comes out by spirits or
jerks, per saltem, as doctors say, be in a
hurry, or the man viii be dead in five min
ute,; there is no time TO talk or send for a
physician say nothing, out with your
handkerchief, throw it around the limb, tie
two ends together, put a stick through them,
twist it around, tighter and tighter, until
the blood ceases to flow. But stop, it does
no good. Why? Because only a severed
artery throws blood ont in jets, and the ar
terics get there blood from the heart hence,
to stop the flow, the remedy must be applied
between the heart and the wounded spot
in other words, ADORE the wound. If vein
had been severed, the blood would have
flowed in a regular stream, and slow, and,
on the other hand, the tie should be applied
defoU the wound, or on the other side OF
the wound, from the heart, because the
blood in the veins flows towards the heart,
and there is no need of such a hurry
