Stick to Him.

We have a record Of colloquy between
a gentleman and his son both lawyers, the
father having retired in easy circumstances
to country place, som ten milesaway from
the scene Of his professional labors. One
Sunday morning the young gentleman, home
ward bound, met his father and mother on
their away to the church where they regu-
larly attended. The father said:
'sMy son, I am delighted, SO is your dear
mother, that you are going to hear our good
man preach. You will be highly pleased
with him."
While the conversation was going on, a
tall friend of the son came up, and familiar
ly addressing him by his christian name,
said before the father:
II have got the bar open, so that we can
have brandy and water whenever we want
it,"
The friend. observing the solemn counter
ance of the father, beat a hasty retreat.
When he was gone the father put up his
hands and said:
tMy son, could not have believed this
of you! Look at your poor mother. and
observe how she feels your wickedness."
After minute of dead silence, tho ia
Their said:
"Who is that bad companion Of yours p
"Well, father, if l must tell you, he is
my best client, and the richest man in town"
The old gentleman thereupon slapped his
son on the shoulder and said:
s'Stick to him, my son; stick to him and
never leave him.!

Eating when Exhausted.

When the strength of horsepower is al
ready worn out OF used up, the digestion of
food only makes fresh demand upon it, and
if it be unable to meet the demand, the food
is only a burden upon it, producing mischief.
Our bodies are compared to steam engines
the food being the fuel, and the steam pro-
duced the horsepower. The analogy holds
good to certain extent If when the steam
is low because the fire is low, you pile in too
fast quantity of coal, you put out your fire,
and if you have depended upon steam pow
er to fan your fires, that is also extinguished
Beyond this the comparison fails You may
clean out your furnaces and begin again,
but in the body the consequences of this
overlooking are dangerous, and sometimes
fatal. No cause of cholera is more common
than eating freely when exhausted The
rule should be to rest for time. and take
some simple refreshment, cup or part of a
cup Of tea, a little broth, or even piece of
bread, any thing simple, and in small
amount, just to stimulate the stomach slight
ly, and begin to restore its power. After
rest, moderate quantity will be refreshing
Never eat full meal when you are exhaus-
ted. Take first a small quantity of any
thing simple, which may be handy and rest.
Then, after while, proper food will be a
blessing. not burden The fires will burn,
the steam will be up, and you can go on
your way safely. It is not amiss in this con-
nection to say, that children would avoid
many feverish night and many an attack
of disease if mothers would follow this rule.

rom s'Brick" Pomeroy's New York Democrat.
Way Down South In Dixie.

Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Pomeroy left the
city to fill engagements on the stump in the
interior, and has played US nice trick
Finding returned soldier on the street
with an old hand-organ on which he pays
ten dollars year license, which goes to the
support of the bondholders, he hired him to
come to the Office of the democrat" and
from one till four every afternoon play
s'Dixie"
And here he is under our window. We
like it, but the editors of the ''Sun" are
outraged !! One of them says it is d-n
nuisance! Another says it is damnable =
And there he sits and grinds
Oh, wish was in Dixie,
Way down South in Dixie!'
hour after hour. The man won't move, for
he says Pomeroy hired him by the week
The ''Sun" folks don't like it. Passers-by
wonder why in thunder he don't change his
tune. One man, from Goshen, Orange
county, stood there an hour to-day, waiting
to hear the next tune. But no other one
comes out of the horrid instrument. And
there be sits, grinding
'Way down South in Dixie;
Oh! I wish I was in Dixie"
Yesterday, Pomeroy had row about the
matter. A Radical, who offices close by,
came down and ordered the soldier to moue
on!
Cant do it," replied the cripple.
"Why 2"
"Cause I'm hired to stay here, on these
steps, under this window, and play this ERE
tune p
"Well, I'll see." and upstairs came the
excited Radical. He raved and swore,
threatened arrest, and all sorts of trouble
Cant help it." said Pomeroy; "that
man was soldier--he fought-he saved his
country-he pays ten dollars year to grind
his machine-I have hired him for the sea-
son, and I shall have him play that same
tune day after day, to remind the workmen
that
Way down South in Dixie
are lot of niggers, scallawags and carpet
baggers they must support" "And," said
he, if you touch that soldier, I'll mash your
loyal head. I rent these premises; that SOL
der has paid his license; 1 pay for the mu-
sic, and I'll have it just as I want it!'
And the man is still grinding away
"Way down South in Dixie!"
How long he is to grind at that mill, God
and Pomeroy only know. But it's a funny
idea, compelling us to sit here hour after
hour to listen to that soldier grinding out of
his ten-dollar-licen organ,
''Way down South in Dixie p
We tried to coax him to change his tune,
but he won't. He says that Pomeroy hired
him to grind it till his return. If he will
hasten back, we'll pay the bill and call it
quits.

TO FARMER BOYS.
BY sHoRTFELLow

BY sHORTFELLoW.
"I'm sick of hoeing in the corn
And following the plough;
OF working hard from dewy morn
Till eve, with heated BROW
No longer will stay to NOW
Or Pitch the scented hay;
To the great city will Ego,
Where wealth is gained by play"
Tut, tut, my man hush up that song;
Let wisdom be your guide;
That dream of wealth may lead you wrong,
And wreck you on the tide,
Sit down with me upon this stone:
Your team will take no harm,
If we amt kings upon throne, 81
We're kings upon a farm.
Gods healthy breezes round you blow,
His birds your music make,
And sweetest rest is yours you know,
When night doth overtake.
The harvest will your toll repay;
Those fields of waving grain
Are growing through the sunny day
And in the summer rain.
Men work as you in shade,
Ger books and papers bent;
The work of life is easy made,
Only by sweet content,
1t may be news, my friend to you,
But tits the truth tell
All work is very hard to do
To those who do it well.
In speculation you must stand
The rough commercial shocks;
You may in safety reach the land,
You may land on the rocks,
Your pay is certain on the farm,
Though grain may not be sold,
In panics you feel no alarm
Wheat is as good as gold.
Pick up your whip and bid your team
Drag on the noble plough, -.-
And do not let that idle dream
BecIoud your youthful brow
In years to come, when children roam.
You'll take them by the arm
And say: 'sYou'd better stay at home
Upon the good old farm sssssssz ssssi

Some of the youngsters in this city have
made the discovery that every good, large,
plump field cricket is the abiding place Of a
small, living snake, about as large i'll cir
conference as an ordinary knitting needle,
and from five to seven inches long. By
pulling off the head of the cricket it may be
taken out alive. Some are light colored
and some dark brown, and if placed in
bottle of water, will live for twenty -four
hours. Here is an item for the naturalists.
Every youngster is after the crickets for the
purpose of dissecting them to see the snak es.
The discovery was first made by observing
in a clothes press couple of these snakes
and some crickets: One A&the crickets was
killed, when the third snake squirmed out of
its body.-Ogdensbauy Journal.

The SUMS Rays as a Motive Power.

A New York journal gives an account of a
very remarkable invention, the success of
which is said to have been already demon
strated by the distinguished engineer, Capt.
Ericsson, to supply new fuel in the place
of coal, and new motor in the place of
steam. This extraordinary scheme is said
to be to collect and concentrate the radiating
heat of the sun, aad to use it for the pro-
duction of motive power. 1t is stated that
the inventor has actually constructed and
successfully operated three of these s'solar
engines" as he calls them, kept in motion
solely by the radiant heat of the sun, his
irst public announcement Of the fact being
made to the Swedish University of Lund,
at its late centennial celebration. ,~4
The first of these engines was driven by
steam formed by the concentration Of the
heat of the solar rays, and the other two by
the expansion Of atmospheric air, heated d.
rectly by concentrated radiant heat The
experiments of Captain Ericsson are said to
show that this concentration of solar heat on
ten feet square of the earth surface devel-
ops power exceeding one horse power, and
therefore, he adds, if Swedish square mile.
were covered with these solar rays, "64,
800 engines, each of 100 horse power, could
be kept in motion by the radiant heat of the
sun thus collected. ~ Mia.
The exact nature Of the concentrating me-
chanism which Captain Ericsson has inven-
ted has not been made public, but its sue.
cess has been SO practically demonstrated
that Mr. Delamater, proprietor of the iron
works which bear his name, declares, in a
late scientific publication, that before the
termination of the present season, bread will
be prepared from flour ground by the power
of the solar engine" ai 4. aeaJ
= We do not understand how the objection
that this is not a "cloudy day" force is to
be obviated, though the advocates Of the
scheme profess to regard that as unimpor-
tsnt. In view of the alleged prospective
exhaustion of the coal beds Of Great Britain
and Europe, and the dependence in the
working of iron upon the supply Of coal, any
new force which will effect an economy in
the old forces may be considered a great de-
sideratum in those parts of the world, at
least.

FARM, AND PRESIDE.
RAT


P1eKLEs FOR SEED WHEAr.--Smut in
wheat is to very great degree prevented by
soaking the seed in strong brine previous
to sowing The smut is parasitic plant,
which attacks and entirely destroys the head
of the wheat. 1t propagates itself by invisi-
BILE spores, which attach themselves to the
grain, remain upon it, and sown with it if
not destroyed. This is proved by the fact
that picking the seed is remedy for the
disease. A strong brine is efficient, many
suppose they improve its efficacy by adding
blue tvitriol, and others that it is essential to
dry off with dry Stacked lime. In the abb
sence Of proof that the blue vitriol and lime
do no good, and as the former is but aslight
expense, and the use of the lime great
convenience, we advise to make a brine that
will float an egg ;ladd two pounds blue vitrol
to the half barrel Of brine; wet bushel Of
wheat at time, stirring it thoroughly, and
skimming off the light stuff as the wheat is
poured into the brine after ten minutes, dip
out the wheat, and lettingi it drain thorough
ly throw it into a pile on a floor, and when
all is done, sprinkle with dry, powdery lime,
shoveling it over until dry enough to SOW.
This may be done "a to 36. hours before
sowing. 49, ~. 3 IS ">tl.i'aa'- i'i'f '-'''
