In the Emotional way.

Twas at the close of glorious sum-
mer day-the sun was setting behind a
distant hog pen-the chickens were
going to roost-the bulfrogs were
commencing their evening song-the
polIywogs in their native mudpuddles
were preparing themselves for the
shades of hight-when Sal and my
self sat upon a antiquated black log,
listening to the music of nature, such
as tree-to toads, grunting pigs and roos.
ters, which was waited to our ears by
the gentle sephyrs singing among the
mullen stalks, the last lingering rays
of the setting sun cleaned from the
bright buttons of solitary horseman,
and shone from knot hole full in Sal s
face, dyeing her hair with an orange
peel hue, and showing off my thread
bare coat to bad advantage.
One of my arms was around Sale
waist; she was toying with one Of my
auburn locks of jet blue; she was al
most gone, and 1 was ditto. She
looked like grasshopper dying with
the hiccups, aud l felt like a mudtur-
tie choking to death on a cold fish
ball.
"Sal," says /, in voice as musical
as the notes of dying calf, "will you
have MOP"
She turned her eyes Heavenward
and, clasping me by the right hand
had an attack of the heaves and blind
staggers, and with sigh that broke
heI sboe.strings, she said
"Yes, my dear Jack" and threw
her self in my lap; and hugged heI
till | broke my suspenders
Well, to make long story short
she set the day; and We practiced ev,
cry night for four weeks how we would
walk into the room to get married, til
we got so we could walk as graceful as
a couple of Muscovy ducks. We got
married and my troubles ended.

VINO Can Tell Its Origin

Mr.. EDITOR: Win some of your read
ers tell me in what book, and what
chapter the following can be found2
"And It came TO pass that as Abra.
ham sat In the door Of his tent, in the
cool OF the day, that there came a
man, aged, and leaning upon hil staff.
And Abraham arose and went forth
TO meet him, and did bow himself
with his face towards the ground.
And Abraham said, Turn into thy
servants tent, 1 pray thee, and re.
fresh thyself, and tarry for the night;
and thou shalt rise up early In the
morning and go on thy way.
And he said Nay; but l will abide
under the shadow OF this tree.
And Abraham pressed upon him
greatly; and he turned it un.o him.
And Abraham did make unleavened
cakes and bake them on the hearth;
and did set them before the stran :
ger.
And it came to pass that as the man
did eat, Abraham saw that he did not
bless God, neither call upon his name.
And Abraham said. How is it that
when thou eatest thou dost not bless
God, neither call upon his name2
And he said unto him, | do not wor-
ship the God that thou worshipest. I
have gods of mine own in my own
house that worship.
And when Abraham heard that, he
arose and drove him forth from before
him with blows.
And it came to pass when the man
was gone, that the Lord called unto
Abraham, and said, Abraham, and
Abraham said, Here am |.
And the Lord said to him, Where is
the stranger that came in unto thee
this night2
And Abraham said, Lord, he would
not worship Thee, neither call upon
Thy name; therefore drove | him forth
from before me.
And the Lord said unto Abraham,
An hundred and ninety and nine
years have l borne with him, and
couldst not thou, who art thyself a
sinner, have borne with him one
night?
So Abraham went forth into the
wilderness, and searched diligently
for the stranger, until he found him,
and brought him again into his tent"

The Dutch Judge,

There lived in one of the mountain
Gus counties inWesterr Virginia ma.
ny Dutchmen, and among them one
named Henry Snyder; and there were
likewise two brothers, called George
and Jake Fulwiler-they were all rich,
and each owned mill Henry Sny
der was subject to fits of arrangement;
but they were not of such nature as
to render him disagreeable TO any one.
He merely conceived himself to be the
Supremer Ruler of the universe; and,
while under the infatuation, had him
self a throne built, on which he sat to
try the causes of all who offended him,
and passed them off to Heaven or hell,
as his humor prompted-he persona
ting both judge and culprit.
1t happened one day that some diff.
Guilty occurred between Henry Snyder
and the Fulwilers, on account of their
mills; when, to be avenged, Henry
Snyder took along with him book, in
which he recorded his judgements, and
then mounted his throne to try their
causes.
He was heard to pass the following
Judgements. Having prepared him
self (actng as judge, and yet respond
ent for the accused) he called George
Fulwiler:
"Shorge Fulwiler, stand up. What
hash Won been doin' in dis lower

"Well, Shorge Fulwiler, hasn't you

The New Dog Law.

By an amendatory act passed April 4,
1866, it is unlawful for any owner,
keeper, or harborer ofa dog to allow
the same to run at large off his premis
es alone, either in the day time or
night time, under penalty of $500
for each offense.
Any person finding dog of the
premises of his owner keeper or har-
borer, may lawfully kill the same and
shall not be liable in damages for so
doing.
Also "when two or more dogs belong
ing TO different owners are found kill
ing, injuling or worrying any sheep CT
lambs, the owner or harborer of such
dogs, shall be held jointly and sever
ally liable for altthe damages done by
such dogs."-Erchdnge.

rno Terrible Famine in India.

By the European mail which ar
rived last night, we have strangely
conflicting accounts of the progress
and ravages of the famine in India.
A Calcutta journal processes to see the
prospect of an early ending to the ca
iamity as the harvest promises to be
plentiful.-On the other hand, a cores
pondent of the London Times AYERS
that "three- fourthS Of the Idboring pop
ulatton, and half the lower class Of og.
riculturistS hdue persisted or wiU perish"
Unless this statement is tearfully ex'
aggerated, it presents more ghastly
picture than the world has witnessed
for centuries. The strangest part OF
the story, however, is not commented
on in the British OF British Colonial
journals. While famine has thus been
LAYING waste vast Provinces, the Indian
Exchequer has been more plethoric oi
late years than ever before. There
has been every year since Mr. Wilson's
time as financial administrator large
yearly surplus. One does not well
see how this could not be employed
for the construction of profitable pub
lie works, where the laboring popula
ton that have been perishing by hun
dreds of thousands could at least have
earned enough for the bare sustenancC
of lile.-IN Y. Times.

was fast becoming idiotic. When she
was hungry she sought for food, but
the great idea in her mind was that Of
pressing on Since the luxuriance OF
summer had filed the forest with ferns
and a new growth Of briar and under.
brush, there was no difficulty OF passing
through. But she had become quite
accustomed to the rough work, and the
frenzy at last become q steady, con-
stant habit; the labor Of life to her.
One day in October the inhabitants
Of the village of Charleston, New
Hampshire, were startled into the wild.
est excitement, by seeing a nearly ma
ked, emaciated woman, with her hair
streaming upon her shoulders, walk
with bewildered gaze along theirstreet.
She told them she was Robert Harris
wife and was lost
Robert Harris wife who disappeared
from the opposite side Of the river in
April? exclaimed the villagers. How
had she crossed the Connecticut
Where had she been all this timer
But she told them she had never cross
ed the Connecticut And she had been
lost in the woods all this time There
was no lack of hospitality; the wander
er was Immediately clad and ted and
cared for to the utmost. Volunteers
went at once and brought her husband,
for the story of his bereavement was
well known on the Charleston side Of
the river. We can only imagine the
meeting, and what tears were shed at
the thought ofthe little forsaken grave
by the uprooted tree. But it is said
that JOY bells we're rung in the village,
and the poor woman, a living skeleton,
was nursed and petted-every body
vying with her neighbor to lavish eve
ry good thing upon her until her weak
ened mind recovered its tone again
AS she constantly asserted she had
never crossed river, it was supposed
she wandered into Canada, and, going
round the Connecticut at its source, or
crossing where it was brooklet pass
ed down 90 the New Hampshire side,
till she reached location just oppo-
site that from which she started.
When she began TO grow strong
again, her mind recurred constantly to
the grave in the wilderness. She des-
cribed to her husband It's surroundings
and he went oat to look for it, but
without success. As soon as she was
able she went out with her husband
and other friends to search, but the
baby's grave was never found. Ii was
thought very strange that Mrs. Harris,
in all her wanderings never met row
ing Indian, but so it was The Indian
tribes had, perhaps, mostly disappeared
from New England since the French
and Indian war, but however that
might be, the first human being she
met after the burial of her infant,
strange as it may scem, was in Charles
ton. This singular legend has descend
ed to the writer faom a descendant Of
hers, who was the third child born in
tho town of Rockingham, Vermont land
the story is an undoubted fact.

Coon SENsE.-The South western, of
Shreveport, La, has an idea: 1--WE
have too many stout young men in the
South, shameless burdens on the Drawn
and muscle of better young men than
themselves Worthless young men,
who ride the laborer as tho Old man
of the Sea fastened himself on the
back of Sinbad the Sailor. 1t is time
they were shaken of, and compelled
to sweat for themselves" The Mo-
bile Advertiser, in an article on the
same subject, says that it is waste of
time to discuss coole projects and Eu-
ropean immigration projects. 1t thinks
that the labor supply problem can on
ly be solved by "the white folks roll
ing up their sleeves and going to work
themselves"

Impeachment of the President.

The Washington special OF the Gin.
cinnati Gazette says:--
1t is reported that Hon. Thad. Ste
yens has plan in regard to the Pres
ldent which will be little less abrupt
than direct impeachment without pre-
ivous investigation, which would pre-
clude the possibility of instituting
proceedings which upon trial, might
fail.
His plan is said to be to appoint a
joint committee at the opening OF the
coming session, exactly as joint
Committee on Reconstruction was APP
pointed, whose duty it shall be to fully
Investigate the course and conduct of
Mr. Johnson, and report to the two
Houses what action, if any is demand
ed of Congress by the facts ELECTED.

1t is actually surprising how soon
our people have learned to prize that
invaluable article known as Goes Dys-
pepsia Cure. 1t certainly acts ike
magic, for it will cure the very worst
cases of dyspepsia, and enable the pa
tient, who has lived for years upon
Graham bread and the plainest food, to
eat anything he chooses without fear
of distress. 1t is considered the most
valuable remedy known for all diseas-
es of the stomach and bowels.

RECEIPT FOR SAUSAGE MEAT.-It is
important, In the first place, not to al
low your meat to lay in bulk after it
is separated from the body Of the hog,
but keep it spread ont until you are
ready to cut fine. If it lays some
time in bulk, your sausage will soon
become strong. This plan prevents it.
When you are ready, cut it in small
pieces for grinding through cutter,
and weigh, in order for seasoning.---
Then for every 40 pounds of meat
take 13 ounces Of salt, 4 ounces;;;of
best black pepper, and 2 ounces Of
sage, all of which mix together
Then mix this with your meat. AT.
terwards put it through your sausage
grinder.

THE Use OF BoRAx IN WASHING
In Belgium and Holland linen is pre-
pared beautifully because the washer
women use refined borax, instead of
soda, as q washing powder. One large
handful of borax is used to every ten
gallons Of boiling water, and the saw
ing in soap is said to be one-half---
For laces and cambrics an extra guam
tity is used. Borax does not injure
the linen. and it softens the hardest
water. A teaspooniuI Of borax added
to an ordinary sized kettle OF hard
water, in which it is allowed to boil,
will eRectualIy soften the water.

A H1Er TO Lovers OF FLowERs.-A
most beautiful and easily attained
show Of eyergreens may bo had BY 4
very simple plan, which haa been
found to work remarkably weIl on q
small scale. If goranium branches,
taken from luxuriant aud healthy
trees, just before tho winter sets In,
be cut as for slips, and immersed in
soap water, they viii, after dropping
few days, shed their leaves, put forth
iresh ones, and continue In. the finest
vigor all winter. By placing a numi
ber of bottles thus filed in o flower
basket, with moss TO conceal the bot
ties, a show OF eyergreens is easily se-
cured for the winter. All the different
varieties Of the plant being used, the
various shapes and color Of the leaves
blend into beautiful effect. They
require no fresh water. So saysa la
dy who has tried it.
