A MOMENT nF HORROR.


For % years, old Jake Willard ha'
cultivated the soil of Baldwin county, and
drawn thcrefrom support for himself and
wife. lie is childless. Not long since
Jake went in search of COW. His
course was through an old worn out patch
of clay land, of about six acres in ex-
tent, in the centre of which was well
20 or 30 feet deep, that at some time.
probably, had served the inmates of dill
apidated house neir by with water. In
passing by this spot an i'll wind drifted
Jake's tile" from his hoa |, and nj :
ciously' waited it to the edge of the well,
and in it tumbled.
Now, the old gentleman had always
practiced the virtue Of economy aaa he
Immediately set about recovering the lost
hat. lie ran to the well, and finding it
was dry at the bottom, he uncoiled the
rope which he had brought for capturing
the truant COW, and after several attempts
to catch the hat with a moose, he conclu-
ded to save time by getting down into
the we'll himself. To accomplish this, he
made fast one end OF the rope to stump
hard by, and was SOON on his way down
the well. 1t was fact, of which Jake
was no less Obvious than the reader here
of, that Ned Willis was in the dilapida-
ted old building aforesaid, and that an ol /
blind horse, with bell on bis neck, who
had been turned out to die, was laz ly
grazing within a short distance of the
well. The devil himself, or some other
wicked spirit, put it into Ned's Uranium
to have little fun; SO he quietly slipped
up to the old horse, and unbuckleing the
strap approached with slow and steady
'ting a-ling" to the edge of the we'll
Dang the old blind horse p said the
man at the bottom of the we'll "he's
coming this way sure, and amt got any
more sense than to fall in here. Whoa,
Bill ~
But the continued approach of a sting
a-ling" said just as plainly as words that
Bill wouldn't whoa. Besides, Jake was
at the bottom, resting before trying to
shin it up the rope.
Great Jerusalem ~ said he, 'the old
cuss viii be atop Of me before | can say
Jack Robinson. Whoa, dang it. Whoa
Just then Ned drew up to the edge Of
the we'll, and with his foot kicked little
dirt into it.
"Oh, LORD y exclaimed Jake, falling
on his knees at the bottom. "Im gone
now-whoa +! Now lay me down to sleep
W h GA! pray the LORD my soul to
whoa, nor Oh LORD have mercy
upon me ~
Ned could hold in no longer. and fear
ing Jake might suffer from his fright, he
revealed himself. Probably Ned didn t
make tracks from that we'll Maybe Jake
wasn't up to the top of it in short order,
and you might think he didn't try every
night for two weeks to get shot with his
rife at Ned. Maybe not, l don't know.
But | do know that if Jake finds out who
sent you this, it will be the last squib you
will get.

HOEING CORN.

Corn, where it is incliped to be weedy,
should be hoed three times-the first hoe
ing as soon as the corn is large enough.
Many farmers in my judgment commence
hoeing corn when too small, and pile up
the dirt around it so that becoming stran-
gled, as it we're, it seems to stint the corn,
and it does not get over it for some time.
The principal object in hoeing the first
iime should be to stir the ground and
destroy the weeds, which should be com
pletely extermnated, if possible, by hoe
ing them up and leaving them between
the rows exposed to the sun, which will
cause them to wither aud die. Many
farmers hoe their corn in cloudy as well
as fair weather. This is poor policy, as
the work, ifdone ever so thoroughly, does
not result in the good that will follow a
warm dry day /; and great many run
over Il ci hoeing as though all depended
on the quickest possible time it could be
passed over Hence with crew of y. en-
and boys farmer 'Slack" goes over his
corn6elds, and the next day it Looks as
though it wanted another good hoeing,
but it does not gctit, and the result is seen
in field crowded with noxious weeds
and the corn poorly filed out and green
when it should be nearly ripe, as well as
about half the crop raised that might have
been obtained il carefully cultivated. Corn
should be hoed the second time within
ten days Of the first, and the ground thor
oughly stirred. i do not think it to be
good policy to drive horse and cultiva.
tor between the rows, as it is apt to cut
and tear up the roots Of the corn, especi-
ally when large, Do not make little con-
zeal hills as though.to shed the rain, but
bills broad and shallow. IF your corn
comes up to weeds after two good hoe.
Jugs, take hand or two from your hay
ing and go Though it and cut down the
weedz. The corn will ripen earlier and
get beyond the danger of early frosts,
and the weeds will not fall their ripening
snods into sthe earth to choke up your
crop of wheat or oats another year. A
good farmer will look to the future state
afhis land as well as the present. Ger.

THE PEDDLER'S STORY.

Rev Mr.. Harris well known a Meth
odist itinerant of Indiana, as much dis
linguistic for his facetiousness as he is
for his fine abilities as a preacher. lie
tells the following on himself:
In 1886 | was travelling on the c.
Circuit. l had twenty four appointments
to fill every four weeks, aud o course had
great many long horseback rides. On
one occasion fell in company with an
intelligent gentleman from Kentucky on
the main state road, and we travelled sew
raj miles together, when a rain storm
drove us into cabin by theefoadside.
The family had dinner on the table VIII, n
We entered, and we were kindly asked'to
sit up and eat bite with them" which
of course we did, thinking at the same
time the family was very clever to total
strangers. But after little, when the
ice was broken and each one at the table
seemed to be doing full justice to the oc-
casion, the gentlemen of the cabin re-
marked, with smile, that he had never
heard Mf. Harii preach but three times,
and If Mr.. Harris wouldn't be offended
at him he would tell the whole story.
"Go ahead Go ahead p' said Mr..
Harris.
sWell," said the landlord of the cabin,
''the first lime was at S., on Sunday
afternoon, aud his text wa For their
rock is not as our Rock, even our euemies
themselves being judges The second
was at Camp Creek, one night aud his
text was, For their Rock is not as our
Rock, even our enemies themselves being
judges The third time 1 heard him
was in Nj. l had gone in for new
recruit of c1ocis-for you must know I'm
q clock peddler-and going to the Meth
odist church on Sunday night, who should
get up to preach but Mr.. Harris, who
took for his text For their Rock is not
IS ir Rock, but even cur enemies them
selves being judges"
As the clock peddler finished, the table
was eonvulsed !; and I, added Mr.. Harris;
knowing well be was joking OF facts, was
about to choke on big potato-but ]
didn't.
