AN editor says in recent letter to a
friend: "At present am in the country,
recovering from fourteen years editorial
life-bad eyes, crooked back, and broken
nerves, with little to show for it." Any

A WEALTHY merchant, who had become

misfortune, by friend, who asked him
how he was getting on. "Pretty WELL
said he. 81 am upon my legs again.
How already" eyes; 1 have been
obliged to part with my carriage and

THE Richmond Examiner tells of a mar
rage between two leg-less colored people
in that city the other day. Both, some
years ago, were compelled to have their
legs amputated at the knee joints, owing
to their having been severely bitten by
the frost. The man had been married
twice before, and the woman three times.

member cruel old schoolmaster of mine
who always accompanied his fagellations
with tie assurance we'd bless him yet for
this scourging, and that the time would
come when we'd thank HIM on our knees
for these wholesome foggings but after
long lapse of years, have felt no graft

did.
A MODEL HUSBAND
saw model husband in dream,
Where things are not exactly what they seem;
A moral man, to sceptics be it known;
The wife he loved and cherished was-his own;
And for the test-I saw the husband wait
With horse and chaise five minutes at the gate,
While Jane put on her things; nor spoke one
Or bitter word, though waiting half an hour
For dinner; and, like Patience on throne,
He didn't swear to find button gone.
A WRITER in Applctsn's Journal sug-
gests what he considers the only adequate
method for putting stop to the evils of
adulteration in the common articles of
food. This is to teach the art of discov-
ering and exposing authorizations in the
public schools. Every school should have
laboratory, and every boy and girl of
fifteen should be instructed in elementary,
chemical testing, and the use of the COM
mon microscope. =s.ss
THERE is an old story of q Venetian
painter who set up his picture in the
street with the request that anybody who
perceived error or failure in the piece
would make note of it." He found as
the result, that every square inch of his
lab0rious canvas was condemned; but
when he altered the request, and begged
that an ingenious public would oblige him
by denoting what was faultless, again
every square inch was lauded to the skies
by some critic or another.
THERE are only two manageable girls
at Coosa, Oregon. On Sundays, half q
dozen or more young fellows sit all day
on the verandahs in front of the ladies'
houses, while each fair one looks at her
followers through the half-open widow.
The lovers, all the while, are whiting
bits of white pine. At dark they move
home; but the damsels find these visits
profitable, for there is generally left behind
a pile of shavings big enough to light
fires for the rest of the week.
IT rs an easy matter to lead grape vines
on to single trees, and in this way consid-
cradle fruit may be grown at little ex-
pense. Low headed, spreading trees are
best for this purpose, like the apple or
butternut. The vine should be planted in
good soil several feet distant from the
trunk, and single cane led up pole to
some strong limb, whence it will soon
spread over the entire head of the tree.
The stem of the vine should be protected
against injury from stock. Vine covered
trees would add to the picturesqueness of
many landscapes, and repay the cost aside
from the fruit, but we wouldn't advise any
one to grow less vines in his garden or
vineyard on account of covering q few
unsightly trees with them.-Erchdnge. q
FEW days since little girl in Newark,
N. j., was missing from her home, and
all efforts to find her proved unavailing.
1t was finally suggested that she might
have fallen through crevice in the walk,
down a distance of forty feet into the
vault OF neighboring brewery. Lights
were lowered through the aperture, and
afterward man descended. Strange to
relate, he found the little one lyir ? asleep
upon high bed of dirt and stones, hav-
ing become weary with crying for assist
ance. When taken out and examined by
a leading physician of that city (who at
the same time vouches for the correctness
of this story, she was found to be per-
fectly well, and to have suffered no bodily
harm by her perilous fall.
