STRANGE FEAR OF A HUMAN THAw.--
In what is known as the supper end" of
Pike county, Pa, there is a man who has
the ironical soubriquet of Whispering John
Ricketts," This title he gained from the fact
that be always talks (even in conversation)
MS if he were a Major General on parade,
or, 10 use more common expression, like
he was raised in mill.'
This gentleman, who, by the by, is zone

before daylight, for the purpose OF riding
down to Milford in time to take the stage
coach for Philadelphia. lie rode up to the
hotel just as the boarders and travellers bad
done their breakfast.
He dismounted and walked into the bar.
room, and spoke to the landlord in his usual
laundering tones -
"Good morning, Mr.. l.; how d.
you do this morning p
"Very well, Mr.. Ricketts,; how do you
do?"
"Oh, I'm well, but I'm SO cold | cam
hardly talk"
just then nervous traveller who wa.
present ran up 10 the landlord, and catching
him by the coat said -
MIR. T., have my horse brought
as soon as possible"

Lime for Potatoes.

Several years since gave statement
of my prevention of The potato disease
which for number of years ! had proved
10 be entirely successful II is simple and
requires but little expense.
When the potato tops are beginning to
blossom, take measure containing
air slaked lime, and with a cup or trowel,
in the morning when the tops are wet with
dew or rain, sprinkle on the tops of the
vines Of each hill about one gill. To make
sure the prevention, within week l re-
peat the sprinklng with lime. This appli-
cation of lime properly made, | have never
known, in single instance to fail of sue
cess. with me it has been successful when
applied to several kinds Of potatoes most
. subject TO the disease.
/ think much depends on applying the
remedy at the right time. My opinion is,
that the disease so called, is an insect of the
animalcular tribes, that rises TO the potato
tops in blossom to multiply and then TO de-
scend 10 the tubers. If in any instance the
remedy has failed | am confident that il has
been owing to its being too late, when the
insects have descended by, or in the vines.
My theory of the disease may not be
correct, but the success of the application
proves that TO be true beyond dispute.
am aware that many are liable at
very busy season, to neglect to have the air
slaked lime ready for application. 1t has
been my practice to procure the lime as
early as the first of June, and to ex-
pose it TO the open air, so that by the time
ii is wanted it will be completely pulverized
Several times ! have known persons intend
ing to apply the lime, prevented from do
ing so by the failure to have the lime pre-
pared for the purpose. Large harvests in
that way have been lost. If any person
can inform the community of better pre-
vention of the disease, they may be assured
of the cordial thanks of many.

soldier, now in " Camp Cameron" Mo, but
recently encamped above Hannibal, the
scene Of the adventure -
"Once upon time there was an Indian
maiden, who loved, and was loved IN return
by ~ brave who belonged to another tribe.
Her father, naughty chieftain, objected
10 the alliance, and she, true to the instinct
which has given rise to the addage among
her pale-faced sisters, that when a woman
wills she ,csH, and when she wont she 'front.'
determined TO elope with her dusky lover.
She was discovered,pursued through forests
and over hills, till at length wearied and
dispairing. she paused on this cliff, and with
the footsteps Of herpursuers close upon her
track. she gave last look upon the broad
expanse OF the Father of Waters, along
whose banks she had so often watched the
light football of the fleet deer, or drew
from its bosom the finny treasures, and then
with wall OF sorrow threw herself from
the rocky cliff, and the blue waves muir

And this was the Lovers Leap"

SWEARING FOR A FAMILY.-Durine
one of our examinations of candidates fol
baptism at Ngukang, / observed that one
woman and some three or four young people
had the same scrname. This circumstance
led to the following conversation between
myself snd one OF the Young men -
j observe you all have the same sur
name. Are you members Of the same fam.
ily?" inquired.
Yes" one replied; " this is mother, and
these are my brothers."
s. Where is your father?" continued.
He is at home attending to business"
Does he approve of your embracing
Christianity 2"
"Yes, he is entirely willing"
"Why does not your father himself be-
come Christian"
He says it would not answer for all the
family to embrace Christianity"
"And Why" asked with some curiosity,
" does he think SO
!" He says that if we all become Chris
tians our heather neghbors will take adj
vantage of that circumstance to impose on
u.s."
How will they do that?"
" Christians are not allowed TO swear or
fight /; and father says that when our wick
ed neighbors ascertain we have embraced
Christianity, they will proceed at once to
curse and maltreat US. Hence father says
TO US Z You may all become Christians,
but must remain heather so as to retail
late ON our bad neighbors. You can go to
meeting and worship, but must stay at
home TO do the cursing and fighting for the
family"
