The ,Ladoga Indiana) Herald says
"There lives near Billviile, Hendricks
county, a peculiar family-three boys
and three girls. The Oldest girl is about
twenty-four years old, weighs about two
hundred pounds, is very Intelligent
lady, but we noticed one peculiar feature
not common among the fair sex. She
had a heavy beard (minus the mustache),
which lis. about two inches long and of
auburn color. The beard on the chin of
the lady is the heaviest. We did not
perceive any on her throat, nothing but
regular side and chin whiskers. We
were informed that her beard has grown
more rapidly during the past year. The
next girl is seventeen years old, born
blind, and is an idiot; the next is girl
fourteen years old, born blind. The
three boys are all intelligent young men,
The parent of this family is one of the
wealthicst men in Hendricks county.

A PoRclNE JoKE.-Ntr. Sayrc, of
Lexington, KY, lisps little, and good
story is told of him, the better for it's
truth. Some years since an oversecr of
one of his farms told him he needed
some hogs on his place. Says Mr..
Sayre:
Every we'll, go and buy four or five
thouthand pigth right away. and put
them on the farm"
The man, accustomed to obey, and
that without questioning, asked:
"Shall | take the money with me to
purchase with Z"
"No thir! They all know me. Thcnd
them here-I'll pay for them, or give
you the money to pay when you get
them"
The oyerseer went his way, and in
two weeks returned, when the following
conversation took place:
"Well, Mr.. sayrc, l can't get that
many pigs. have ridden over the
country, all about and can buy but be-
tween eight and nine hundred"
eight or nine hundred what ?"
eight or nine hundred pigs"
"Eisht or nine hundred pisth! Who
told you to buy that many piyth /? Are
you fool?" b
"You told me to buy them two weeks
since. [ have tried to do it."
Eight or nine hundred pigth! 1
never told you any thucth thing"
"But you did-you told me to so and
buy four or five thousand pigs"
81 didn't do no thucth thing I told
you to go and buy four or five thows and
their little pigth, and you have done it 1
should think"
Mr. Sayre had pork to sell the next
fall.

Sarah was seeing too much, and she
wouldn't hush and the wife in the
hall, hemmed in by the eager crowd,
had tried to explain ;but failing in this,
had leaned her head against the wall
and was enjoying a hearty cry. 81
At last however, the pants were found
and put on, and the husband and wife
escaped to their chamber, whilst Miss
Sarah doubled locked her door against all
further intrusion. The next morning
explanations were gone into, but there's
no use denying that both the ladies were
the least bit incredulous, and it is said
perceptible coldness has grown up be-

dulsing in unpleasant meditations.

GOLDEN ADvICE.-About three years
ago, young man presented himself to
Mr.. Corwin for clerkship. Thrice was
he refused, and still he made fourth
attempt. His perseverance and spirit
of determination awakened friendly
interest in his welfare, and the secretary
advised him in the strongest possible
manner to abandon his purpose and go
to the West, if he could do no better
outside the departments.
"My young FRIEND" said he, "go to
the North West, buy 16O acres of gov
ernmcnt land-or, if you have not the
money to purchase, squat on it; get you
an ak or mattock, put up log cabin for
your habi!ation, and raise little corn
and potatoes; keep your conscience clear,
and live like freeman, your own mas
ter, with no one to give you orders, and
without dependence OH any body. Do
that, and you will be honored, respected.
influential, and rich. But accept clerk
ship here, and you sink at once all in
dependence; your energies become re-
laxed, and you arc untitled in few
years for any other or more Independent
position. may give you place to-day
and can kick you out tomorrow and
there's another man over there at the
White House who can kick NE out, and
so We so. But if you own all acre of
land, it is your kingdom, and your cabin
is your castle You are sovereign,
and you will feel it in every throbbing
of your pulse, and every day Of life will
assure me of your thanks for having
thus advised you"
If the thousands who ardcntly strive
for places under government would
ponder well these words, and cxecise a
sound discretion in their application,
many young and gallant spirit would
be saved from inanimation, and it
would be source of JOY rather than a
grief to its poss .ssor.

The Smack in School.

A district school, not far away,
Mid Berkshire hills, one winter day
Was humming with its wonted noise
ss0f three score mingled girls and boys;
Some few upon their tasks intent,
But more on furtiye mischief bent.
The while the masters downward look
Was fastened on copy book.
Rose sharp and clear, behind his back,
A rustling, rousing, cracking smack,
As 'twcrc battery of bliss
Let off in one tremendous kiss,
WHATS that?" the startled master cries
"That, thir," little imp replies,
"Wath William Willih, if you pleathe,
II t,,aw him kith Thuthannah Peathe!"
With frown to make statue thrill,
The master thundered "Hithcr, WHIP"
Like wretch taken in his track,
With stolen chattcls on his back,
Will, TO the awful presence came
Agrcat, green, bashful simpleton,
The butt of all good-natured fun. ~
With smile suppressed and birch appraised
That you, my biggest pupil should
BE guilty of an act SO rudc
Before the whole set school, to boot;
What evil genius put you to 't?''
"Twas she herself, sir!" sobbed the lad

PLANTERS BE WARNED.-The Co
lumbus (Ga.) Enquirer says: The last
monthly report Of the Department of
Agriculture contains some facts that
should be warning to our planters
not to neglect the raising of corn and
pork and depend on buying meat with
the proceeds Of their cotton. The sta
tistics called show marked reduction in
the number of hogs in the great pork
producing regions. LII large portion
of the Ohio Valley, the reduction is G.
ported at 15 per cent. aud prices have
increased 80 to 80 per cent. in conse-
quence of this ascertained deficiency.
There is every prospect that meat will be
high next Winter, and should cotton
then bring less than 20 cents (of which
there is strong probability,D the farmer
who sells cotton will count his gain by
the transaction ''over the left"

The Wrong Bed.

AT a late hour Tuesday night quite
bridal party arrived in the city and
put up at one of our hotels. The bride
was accompanied by two of her young
lady friends and the groom by two gen.
flemen. The names were registered in
the usual way, but in some way a mis-
take was made in reference i'll the iden-
tity of the bride. The hours sped on
toward the dawn and the bride in her
silent chamber waited the appearance of
her lord. Yet he came not Surely, he
was not,sitting up all this time. The
rest of the party had retired she was
certain, since she had heard them in their
apartments.
What had become of him. Impa-
tience gradually grew into terror.
She rang her bell, and the servant
knocked at the door
"Do you know where my husband is?"
she inquired.
"Aint he iu here, nam"
nNo"
"Maybc he stepped out into the CITY,
man, and will be back directly"
"I'm afraid; oh, do inquire at the
office, and see if there is any intelligence
about him"
line servant retired, and in few iio-
ments returned with information that
there was none. The wife was now
alarmed in earnest. She never had a
husband before, and like the man who
dfoW ESbihe eiepiiant m the lottery, scarce
ly knew what to do with the animal.
In her anxiety she went to the room
of one of her bridesmaids and knocked
at the door.
"Whos there?" was inquired in ac-
cents Enthusiastically masculine.
"Me, Mary; but mercy. who are
you?'
There was a sudden stir and the sound
of feet falling heavily on the carpetcd

HONEsTY.-An instance of the find
ing of money was told to us few DAYS
ago. A lad named johnny Black,
twelve years old, picked up on the street
a pocket-book containing evidently a
large amount of money. He put it in
his pocket and turned back to walk in
an opposite direction to that in which he
was going when he found the pocket
book, in expectation of meeting the loser
on the hunt for it. He had gone but n
block when, sure enough, lie met man
very excitcdly searching the pavement,
and walking quite hurriedly. Johnny
went up to him and touched him.
"Havo you lost any thing, sir?"
yes"
"What was it 2"
GA pocket-book with large amount
of money in it."
"Come in here with me-"
And the two walked into store,
where, in the presence of the proprietor,
the man named the amount of money
and gave list of papers contaiacd in
the pocket book johnny had found 1t
contained $4,000 in bills, the amount
named by the stranger, and all the pa
pers he had mentioned when the little
fellow, without any apparent emotion,
handed the stranger the pockot-book
with its contents.
"Now," said the stranger, "you come
with me"
And he took Johnny to clothing
store, and fitted him out with a nice
warm suit of clothes thence to boot
and shoe-store, where his pedal extrcmi-
ties were adorned with al elegant pair
OF cali.skin boots; then to jcwelcr' S
they went, and the boy was presented
with fine gold watch and chain, the
former bearing the inscription, "Pre-
sentcd to John Black Gagged l2) for his
honesty in returning lost pocket book
