Mohammedan Children.

One day, writes a gentleman from
the East, / called on an old Mo.
hammedan in Tripoli; and, as ]
entered the outer door, I saw
some little girls, and some larger
ones, running towards the women's
rooms to get out Of my way. A boy
who was with me said they were
the daughters of the old man.
As came in the room where he
was, he arose from his cushion on
the floor, placed his right hand
on his forehead, and then on his
breast, and bowling very grace
fully, said, "May your morning be
blessed, your excellency! Peace
to your lifep'
In few moments, a servant
boy brought little cups of Jet
black coffee, without sugar or
milk; and after had taken cup,
and said a few words to the old
white-bearded Moslem, I asked
him how many children he had.
He replied at once, 81 have no
children at all"
| then said "Whose daughters
are those whom | saw running
across the court?"
"Op said he, "those are mine,
but they are nothing but girlsr'
At another time calling on a
Mohammedan, / asked him how
many children he had, and he re-
piled, Il have four sons; but praise
to God l have no daughtersl"
Most of the people in Syria
think it a great hardship when a
daughter is born; but when they
become Christians they think
more wisely.
A few months ago, an infant
daughter was born in the family
OF Antonine Yanni, a Protestant
in Tripoli; and all the relatives
and friends came to weep with
him on account of the dreadful
thing which had happened to the
family. The grandmother of the
little infant said that she would
not kiss her for six months, because
she was q girl! But when the
people came in Yanni told them,
81 do not wish your tears, | love
my daughter, and | hope to train
her up to love the Saviour and
do good. ! am not a heather any
longer, and laughter is as pre-.
cious to me as a son once was"

Radical MOralitv.

The New York Express says
Governor Stone, Of Iowa, is in a
pretty fix. Last year committee
of the Iowa Legislature was ap-
pointed to investigate a deficiency
of $50, 900 in the Governors ac-
counts, and took the testimony of
Governor Stone. Recently the
same matter was brought before
referee, and the Governor again
called as witness when he swore to
the contrary of what he had pre-
viously testified before the con-
mittee. Being asked by counsel
the reason of this Discrepancy,
Governor Stone replied that che
regarded the investigation by the
General Assembly merely as a
political Investigation, and the
present as legal Investigation, and
hence the difference IN euidence."
IF this be a fair sample of ''loyar'
morality, it is suggested that all
Radicals, certainly all such Radi-
Gals, be put under oath. 1t might
put an end to the fictitious tales of
outrages at the South upon the
freedmen and 'tloyar' white citi-
zens.

Gen. Washington receives
q Curtain Lecture.

A nice little story is told of
Gen. Washington, which will be
fresh to many of our readers, and
will embalm him in the memory
of all good wives as a model hus-
band:
The General-says the biogra-
pher-and his wife lived happi-
ly together; but it is evident that
like most heiresses, she was a lit
tie exacting, and it is highly pro-
bable that the great Washington
was sometimes favored with a
curtain lecture. The celebrated
authoress, Miss Bremen, relates
that a gentleman once slept at
Mount Vernon, in the room next
to that occupied by the master
and mistress of the mansion, and
when all the inmates were in bed,
and the house was still, he over
heard, through the thin partition,
the voice of Mrs. Washington
He could not but listen, and it
was a curtain lecture which she
was giving her lord. He had done
something during the day which
she thought ought to have been
done differently, and she was
giving him her opinions in some
what animated and quite decided
tones. The great man listened in
silence till she had done, and then
without a remark upon the sub
ject in hand, said:
"Now, good sleep to you, my
dear"
1t is plain that the General
believed that it takes two to
make a quarrel

Flour as an Indian Exter-
minator.

The tribe of the Mintoh Utes,
with whom the treaty was made,
is small remnant of few hun
dred of what only a few years age
was a powerful tribe. Contact
with the Mormons and Mormon
-four has nearly destroyed the
tribe. The idea advanced by
Brigham Young that a sack Of
-four will kill more Indians than
a keg of powder, seems to be cor
rect, at least so far as as the ex-
perience Of the tribe aboGt Salt
Lake goes. A wild Indian lives
on lean meat alone, without salt,
and SO long as he has to depend
on what he can kill, he is healthy,
and though the tribe may not in
crease in number, yet they hold
their own. But make a treaty
with them, and pay them, as the
Government does, in salt, bacon,
sugar and -four, and the Indian
becomes lazy and a beggar, while
the change of food brings with it
diseases which were unknown to
the Indian before, and which,
with the diseases that he gets
from contact with the whites,
soon finish off his mortal career.
Keep an Indian with his family
among the settlements, and the
chances are that in three years
there will not be one left.

Manuring Trees.

Too many, in applying manure
to their fruit trees, forget the posi-
ton of the roots, and apply within
foot or SO of the body. If they
were to carefully remove the
soil, they would find that the trees
of vigorous growth, and from sew
en- to ten feet high, have roots
that are really the main sources
of nourishment, varying from six
to ten feet from the body. The
application of manure, therefore,
to give the best results, should be
distributed around the tree at dis
tance of six feet from the trunk.
In positions where the turf is de-
sired to be maintained, cut and roll
it back, put on the manure, fork
it in very lightly, and then re-
place the turf.

If sloth, climbing a tree, as
cends one foot each day, but slips
back thirteen inches each night,
in what length OF time will he
reach the top of the tree, snppos-
ing it to be 80 feet 81 inches
high?-Old Arithmetic.
Ii in six years the Radicals re-
duce the number of States repre-
sented in Congress from hirty-sir
to tace1ty, how long will be re-
quired to reduce it to o,,e-Mas-
sachusetts !?
A friend at our elbow suggests
that the tree would have to be
turned upside down to enable the
sloth to reach the top. The Rad
icals see the necessity of this, and
have therefore concluded to turn
the country upside down,

KEEPING AND SETTLING COFFEE.
The following appears valua-
BILE: "FOr one pound of coffee, take
one egg, and beat it well. When
the coffee is nicely Drowned, and
cool enough not to cook the egg,
pour the egg overit; stirring un-
til every kernel is coated with a
varnish, and let it stand a few
minutes in warm place until it
dries. This will prevent the es-
cape of all aroma, is not affected
by moisture. and the egg helps to
settle the coffee when it is ground

The origin of the portrait of
the Goddess of Liberty upon our
coins is of great interest. Mr..
Spencer, the inventor Of Spencer's
lathe, used by the American Bank
note Company, was the artist who
cut the first die for our American
coin. He cut first an exact medal
lion of Mrs. Washington, the wife
of General Washington, and the
first new coins were struck with
her portrait. When Gen. Wash
ington saw them he was displeas-
ed, and requested the figure to be
removed. Mr.. Spencer altered
the features a little and put cap
upon It's head, calling it the God
dess of Liberty. M

How to Save Money.

Advertising, says an exchange,
is indicative Of liberal and gen.
erous spirit. We state it as fact,
without fear of contradiction,
that the business men who adver-
tise most literally, are by far the
most liberal-hearted and generous
hearted people among US. Take,
for example, our own advertising
columns, and test the truth of
the remark, by visiting the houses
that are therein represented, and
mark our prediction, nine cases
out of ten, you will ascertain that
your purchases can be made, or
your business transacted on much
fairer terms than if you had con-
tributed your patronage to those
who are too economical and par
simonious to advertise, and are
utterly devoid of that high-toned
public spirit which ever patron
ICES the country press. We are
confident our assertion is correct.
We trust our country readers will
carefully peruse our advertising
columns and give those merchants
who advertise their patronage.
We will guarantee you will save
five times the amount of your
subscription to the paper if you
deal altogether with merchants
who advertise.-Athe1as Post.

Two carpenters, named re-

Robert Jones, were fond of drop
ping into Mr.. Smiths parlor, and
spending an hour or two with his
only daughter, Mary. One eve
ming when Jones and Mary had
discussed almost every topic, Jones
in his sweetest tones, struck out
as follows:
"Do you think, Mary, you
could leave father and mother,
this pleasant home, with all its
ease and comforts, and emigrate
to the far West with young
carpenter, who has little besides
his strong arms to depend upon,
and search out a new home, which
it should be your joint duties to
beautify and make delightful and
happy
Dropping her head softly on
his shoulder, she whispered:

"Well, said he, ''there's Thomas
Brown, who's going to emigrate,
and wants to get a wife. I'll mem
ton it to him"

A Mixin' of the Babies.

Some time ago at a social dan
cling party given sup North" ," most
of the ladies present had little
babies, whose noisy perversity re-
quired too much attention to per-
nit the mothers to enjoy the dance.
A number of gallant young men
volunteered to watch the young
ones while the parents indulged il
a "break down." No sooner had
the women left the babies in charge
of the misehievous fellows, than
they stripped the infants, changed
their clothing, giving the apparel
of one to another. The dance
overit was time to go home, and
the mothers hurriedly took each d
baby in the dress of her own, and
started, some to their homes ten or
fifteen miles off, and were on their
way before daylight. But the
day following there was o tremen-
dous row In the settlement
mothers discovered that single
night had changed the sex of their
babies-observation disclosed the
physical phenomena, and then
commenced some of the tallest
female pedestrianism; living miles
apart, it required two days to un=
mix the babies, and many months
to restore the women to their nat
ural sweet dispositions. To this
day it is unsafe for any CT the
baby mixers to venture into the
territory.

MORE PLAIN TALK.-The Baton
Rouge Adoocate says:
The Southern people have a
mania for importing. With any
quantity of cattle, they buy but
ter from the North. The finest Of
grass decay beneath their feet, and
they compete with one another
for Northern hay. The hides Of
the cattle they kill must be sent
North to be made into shoes to be
returned to us, and now our cat
tie are being bought up and taken
North by the boat load to fatten-
ed for the Southern markets. In
nearly everything, we are depen-
dent upon them, and the first blow
for independence in the fine arts
and industrial affairs must bestruck
by becoming independent OF their
press. The New Orleans leading
journals are superior to any first
class New York paper, yet there
is no doubt but that the aggregate
circulation of the journals of
the latter city is far greater in the
South than those of New Orleans.
AS fer the country press theirs is
often indeed a hard road to travel.

Two Little Pairs Of Boots.
BY MRS. S. S. PERRY.

=
-
Two little pairs of boots, tonight
Before the fire are drying,
Two little pairs of tired feet
In a trundle bed are lying,
The tracks they left upon the floor
Makes me feel much like sighing.
Those little boots with copper toes!
They run the livelong day!
And oftentimes l almost wish
That they were miles away;
So tired am to hear so oft
Their heavy tramp at play.
They walk about the new-ploughed ground
Where mud in plenty lies;
They roll it up in marbles round
And bake it into pies;
And then at night upon the floor
In every shape it dries.
To-day I was disposed to scold;
But when see tonight
Those little boots before the fire,
With copper toes SO bright,
/ think how sad my heart would be
To put them out Of sight.
For, in truth, up stairs I've laid
Two socks of white and blue;
If called to put those boots away,
o, God, what should 1 do?
l mourn that there are not tonight
Three pairs instead of two.
mourn, because thought how nice
My neighbor ''eross the way"
Gould keep her carpet all the year
From getting worn or gray;
Yet, well know she'd smile to own
Some little boots to-day
We, mothers, weary get and worn
Over our load of care;
But how we speak of little ones.
Let each of US beware;
For what would our fire sides be tonight
If no little boots were there?
