a% A Western paper relates this story
"Deacon B., of Ohio, very pious man,
was noted for his long prayers, especially
in his family. One Monday morning the
deacon and his wife were alone, and, as was
his custom, after breakfast, prayer was
offered. There being an unusual amount
of work that day, the deacon's prayer was
short, and seizing his hat and milk pail he
started for the barn. His wife being deaf
did not notice his absence, but supposed
him to be still engaged in prayer: On his
return from milking, he was surprised to see
her still kneeling. He stepped up to her
and shouted amen, when she immediate.
ly arose and went about her work as it
nothing had happened"

A REAL CHARM.-A young farmer found
that he was getting poorer and poorer every
day. He went to friend to ask his advice,
This friend, with very grave face, said
81 know of charm that will cure all that
take this little cup, and drink from it every
morning of the water you must get at the
crystal spring. But remember, you must
draw it yourself, at S o'clock, or the charm
will be broken
Next morning the farmer walked across
his fields, for the spring was at the further
end of the estate. Seeing neighbors COWS
which had broken through the fence and
were feeding on his pasture, he turned them
out and mended his fence. The laborers
were not yet at hand. When they came
lettering after their proper time, they were
startled at seeing master up so early.
"Oh," said he, 81 see how it is it comes
of getting up in time
This early rising soon became apleasant
habit: his walk and cup of water gave him
an appetite for breakfast, and the people
were, like himself, early at work. He saw
that the advice his friend had given him
was as good as it is simple, for the charm that
saved him was early rising.

PUMPKINS AMONGST CoRN.-Almost all
sold-fashioned farmers" take off crop oi
pumpkins from their corn-felds, much to
the annoyance of the theorst, who demon
strates to his entire satisfaction that the
one crop must detract from the full force Of
the other. But the most careful expert
ments show no loss to the corn. The same
weight results from an acre, with or with
out the pumpkins. 1t does, at first thought
seem as if it ought not to be SO. Ifit takes
just so many bushels of corn to fatten q
hog, it is not clear how we are to fatten two
from the same quantity. This is the argu
ment of the theorizer. But the facts are
as We have stated; and the reason probably
is, that the pumpkin and corn feed on en-
tirely different foods in the soil, so that the
one can 60 on without the other.- Western

KEEP OF Cows.-A correspondent of the
Germantown Telegraph wishes that he could
make the truth vivid to every keeper Of
COWS, that the care of them is something
that requires knowledge and painstaking
in details. Cows must not be neglected or
deprived of sufficient food. Good shelter
and abundance of food they must have il
we would make them profitable. Evenness
of local temperature is necessity. If the
weather is cold or wet without doors, they
should be made warm and dry within the
stable. If the sun shines too hot, they
should have the privilege of shade. When
cow becomes uncomfortable, the flow OF
her milk is restrained. A cow will return
to you just in proportion as you confer
care upon her.

Galena manufacturer. A blank space was
left in which the date of her death is to be
inserted at some future time The reason
the old lady gives for this strange freak of
hers is, that she has proAigate son who is
squandering her money at such rate that
she is afraid there will not be enough left
after her death to pay for a tombstone to
mark her grave.
