relates the following
A gentleman i'll the oil region in Wes-
tern Virginia was boring for oil on his
land, and anxious to complete the job,
kept his darkics at work night and day.

fire, shot up q great stream of brilliant
flame one hundred and fifty feet in the

tells the following:
Interesting incidents are provokingly

enlighten the world upon the peculiaritics
of an army chaplaincy. A dying man
sent in great haste for the chaplain, who
was soon at his bed side ready to perform
his solemn offices in his behalf Bending
over the dying man, he gently inquired
what he should do for him. 6 just

for How about the stove-pipe?
Mr.. l., look at those boards off your
barn, your doors lying on their sides, those
holes through which the rain vets and rots
your hay and grain the money and time you
spent at the horse race, last week, would
have repaired your barn. Don't you think
you have stopped cat hole with a stove
pipe2
Farmers, have We not all some hole about
our premises stopped with stove-pipe !?
A farmers profits are in an inverse ratio to
his outgoes, and the fewer holes he stops
with stove-pipes, the greater win be the bal
ance in his favor at the end of the year.
