TO CURE A SMOKY CHIMNEY.

A correspondent, who lives in New
Hampshire, states that in those parts re-
sides . man named Joe, man noted for
the tough lies he can tell, and, as sample,
relates the following:
ssYou don't know as much about mana
ging q smoky chimney, as I do, Squire, or
you'd cure 'em.
: "Ah," said Holton, with interest, edid
you ever see smoky chimney cured !"
aSeen q smoky chimney cured 7" said Joe.
81 think I have! / had the worst one in
Seaboard county once, and I cured it,
aHow was that ?" asked Holton.
,sWhy, you see, said Joe, 81 built lit
tie house out yonder at Wolf Hollow, ten or
twelve years ago; Jim Bush the fellow that
built the chimney, kept blind drunk three
quarters of the time, and crazy drunk dn-
ring the rest. II told him that he would
have something wrong, but he stuck to it
and finished the house. Well, we moved
in, and built fire next morning to boil the
tearkettle. And the smoke came through
the room and went out the windows, not a
bit went up the Aues. We tried it for two
days and it grew worse and worse. By
and-by it began to rain, and the rain began
to come down the chimney. Itput out the
fire in minute, and directly it came down
by the pailful. We had to get the baby of
the floor as soon as we could, or it would
have been drowned. In fifteen minutes the
water stood knee deep on the floor. Then
went and took look. 1t didn't rain half
80 hard outside, and Ipretty soon saw what
was the matter. The drunken cuss had
put the chimney wrong end up, and it
drswed downwards; it gathered all the rain
within hundred yards, and poured it down
by buckets-full." .@ 81 =.
"Well, that was unfortunate" remarked
Holton. "But what in the world did you
do with the house? Surely you never
cured that chimney
"But I did, though. I turned the other
end up, and then you ought to have seen it
draw. Pretty soon after we got the chin.
ney down and the other end up, l missed
one Of the chairs out of the room, and d.
rectly I see another of 'em shooting towards
the fireplace. Next the table went and
then saw the backlog going up. Then I
grabbed the woman under one arm and the
baby under t'other and started but just as
reached the door Isee the cat going across
the floor backward, holding on with her
claws to the carpet, and yelling awfully.-
But it warn't no use. I just seen her 60
ing over the top of the chimney, and that
was the last"
"Wel, what did you do then ?" asked
Holton. "Of course you couldn't live in
such house" . :. :
''Couldn't I thought" said Joe; 'but l
did: put poultice on the jam Of the fire.
place, and that drawed the other way; 80
we have no more trouble"

PURSUIT OF PLEAsURE.--We smile at
the ignorance of the savage who cuts down
the tree in order to reach it's fruits; but
the fact is that blunder of this description
is made by every person who is over-eager
and impatient in the pursuit of pleasure.
To such the present moment is everything,
and the future is nothing; he borrows,
therefore, from the future at most usurlous
and ruinous interest; the consequence is
that he finds the tone of his feelings impair.
ed, his self-respect diminished, his health OF
mind and body destroyed, and life reduced
to it's very dregs, at a time, when, humanity
speaking, the greatest portion of its com,
forts should be still before him. Channa'ao

VERMIN IN HEN HoUsEs.-A CORES
pondent of the New England Homestead
says, vermin may be driven from hen houses
by the following plan: 1. Give the hen
houses thorough white-washing, nests,
boxes, roosts, and everything about the
boxes. 2. Sprinkle sulphur in the nest
boxes three or four times year. 3. Keep
the floor constantly covered with sand or
gravel, and clean out at least once month.
4. Rub lard under the wings Of the hens.

AN OFFER TO BONNER.

In commenting upon the recent series Of
papers in the New York Ledger, called
ssScenes in the Early Life of Gen. Grant,
by his Father" which were recently inter
dicted by somebody and the old mans twad
die suspended in mid-volley," the editor
of the Franklin (Pa.) Spectator, says -
"We venture to say that we have dozen
hard little boys in this community, whose
biography would make General Grants ear
ly life tame and insipid. We have our eye
on one little chap, whose fondness for the
circus is unlimited, and whose means of
gaining admittance displays what Grant al
ways lacked, and that is strategy Of the first
order. This boy is great at marbles mag
nifcent at baseball bully at jumping and
fond of horses. This boy will play ball
and suddenly the whole game will come to
q stand because the ball will be missing
The lost ball will be in this boys pocket; !;
but nobody ever saw him put it in, and few
ever saw him take it out. The other boys
held meeting, and resolved not to play
with him any more, uuless his pockets were
sewed up. He has been known to crawl
under the canvass of circus, which he calls
getting in by private entrance, sixteen times
in one afternoon, and get the price of ad-
mission refunded by the door-keeper, be-
cause his mother was suddenly taken sick,
and he had to leave the show. He could
have fooled Andy johnson worse than Grant
did. Circuses, which to others are expensive
are to him source of profit. He has been
known to make eight or ten dollars day
by stealing in and getting checks as he
came out, which he sold at reduction
from the regular price. This boy is mod
est, too. He doesn't run after phrenolo-
gists to get them to feel his head and tell
him what he was made for, because he
knows all about it himself. He has great
ability in keeping his mouth shut. He is
modest, and doesn't expect to be President,
even Of base ball club. We have lost
sight of Jim (thst is his name,) for long
time. He is now third mate on stern
wheel steamboat on the Upper Mississippi
and has no father to write his life.
eff Bonner wants his biography to sup
ply the vacuum in the Ledger caused by
the sudden stoppage of Grants Life, we
will furnish it to him in sixteen chapters
for the sum of SIC, 900, half in hand when
the contract is signed

the same time they combine with this treach-
cry and jealousy many splendid qualities.
A friend tells me that cat which has been
great favorite with his children, and played
with them constantly, suddenly refused to
have anything more to do with them when
he introduced terrier into the house few
days ago. Now on coming home at night,
the cat flies at the dog the moment the door
is opened, and, having endeavored to
scratch or bite it, skulks away and remains
out of sight all the evening.
RArTLEsNAKE BITE.-Ammonia, or harts-

for the bite of the rattlesnake. Alcohol is
good, but not to be relied upon for q cure
in all cases. So with several kinds of veg
etable remedies : they cure in some cases,
but not in all. Next to ammonia, mud is
probably the best. A son of Mr.. ]. D.
Sharp, of Spring Valley, Minnesota, was
bitten on the foot by rattlesnake. Sew
eral remedies were applied, each said to be
certain cure but they all failed. he
grew spotted, like rattlesnake, they said,
and became very sick, and likely to die
At length they put his foot ip pail Of mud.
He was relieved in fifteen minutes, and
continued to improve until he was we'll. II
one has such bite to treat, and cannot get
ammonia, let him give whiskey, or some
other stimulant internally, and apply mud
to the part bitten, changing it once in three
hours during the day r IN N. ?. Oh.
