Advice to Skaters.

sEAsONABLE HINTS TO BEGINNERS.
/. Never try to skate in two di-
rectioBs at once. This attempt las
often been made by Beginners, but
never successful. It always ends in
SORROW.
2. Eat few apples for refresh
ment sake while skating, and be sure
to throw the cores on the ice, for
fast skaters to break their shins over.
Fast skaters are your naturel enc
mics, and should not be allowed to
enjoy themselves peaceably.
3. Sit down occasionally-no mat
ter where-right in the way of the
rest of the party, if you want to-
There is no law to prevent new be-
ginner from sitting down whenever
he has an inclination to do so.
4. When you meet peculiarly
handsome young lady, try to skate
on both sides of her at once. This
is very pretty, and is sure to create
a sensation. If the lady's big bro
thsr is in sight. it is well to omit this.
5. Skate over all the small boys at
once. Knock 'em down. 1t makes
great fun, and-they like it.
4. If you skate into hole in the
ice, take it coolly. Think how it
would feel if the water was boiling
hot.
Z. II your skates are too slippery
buy a new pair. Keep buying new
pairs till you find a pair that are not
too slippery.
8. In sitting down do it gradually
Don't be too sudden, you may break
the ice.
9. When you fall headIong, exam
inc the straps very carefully before
you get up. This will make every
body think you fell because your
skates were loose. Beginners al
ways do, you know.
10. Wear a heavy overcoat OF
cloak until you get thoroughly
warmed up, then throw it off and le
the wind cool you. This will insur'
you a fine cold that will last you Al
long as you live.

A Wonderful Man.

A newspaper in Minnesota pro.
fesses to have in its employ the most
extraordinary man on record. It says:
We have now employed in this Of
fee man who has been in the En-
glish army for over 35 years; was at
the seige OF Lucknow, and had both
ears cut off while sticking his head
OG of sally port. He afterward
served on the staff of Wellington, at
Waterloo. and subsequently, accom-
panied Bonsparte in his celebrated.
Egyptian campaign, where he
arrested for cOnniviDg at e 6Pe-
ment with the Sphinx, 81 con-
fined in the pyramids fog Fee weary
years. He has been 48l pitched
battles, and q great by that were
not pitched. Eve body has read of
the butcher who #as killing a beef
for the Commissary when the Balak-
lava's charge was sounded, and who
seized an ak mounted horse and
went through tbd lssian battery and
back safely. Well, this is the man
we are wiring about. He relates that
thrilling episode in his checkered
history with much enthusiasm. He
used to have a medal, but a grizzly
bear snalched it off his shirt bosom
while laying the last tie on the China
and Siberian railway, Eastern divis-
ion. He says he is now tired of trav-
ell and adventure and proposes to settle
down. and IT'S the general opinion
that he will. He neither smokes,
chews, drinks whisky, nor swears.
and can Get type as we'll as he used
to fight. He is a cuss in his way,
and can't be beat for stamps.

The Great Eastern is on her way to
Bombay, carrying once more the
precious freight of a deep sea cable,
and fitted with all appliances for sub
merging it. Her tanks contain g.
1856 nautical miles, and her oompaD-
ion ships, the Hibernia, Chiltern and
Hawk, carrying among them 1925
miles more, making total Of $3.50
nautical, or about 4, ,O50 statute miles.
This length will suffice for the COM

Suez, by way of Alden, and will join
the present Malta and Alexandria
line. Another cable is projected, to
be laid from Falmouth to Gibraltar

The New York Times thinks the
present business depression cloud
with silver lining. There is now
a general expectation abroad in the
community that prices are beginning
to fall, and that dollar will be more
valuable few months hence. Con-
sequentIy, customers hesitate to buy
except what is absolutely necessary;
dealers and jobbers are forced TO
make smaller purchases or ''to carry"
heavy stocke; manufacturers and i'm
porters find themselves with large
quantities of goods on hand, which
they are anxious to dispose of, as
their price may continually fall.-
Money is in demand to carry these
various articles, or keep dealers afoat
till they find purchasers. But lend
ers are becoming timid in face of
falling market, and great stvingency
shoWs itself. especially in the Wssi-
ern cities. This is without doubt all
of il healthy process-the first step
toward a sound financial condition -
The great body of the community are
benefited by it, as all commodities
will become cheaper, and above all,
business will at lenght settle itself on
a sound basis Of exchange. 1t should
never for a moment be forgotten that
those who are injured most By an in
convertible currency are the consum-
srs-the great masses Of the people.

Good Farming-HOw Not to do It,
If you are young man, bend all
your energies to acquiring the fast
est horse in the neighborhOOd, and
show sour activity by cutting a
swell behind him around the country
Wait patiently until "the old man"
dies aud bequeaths to you his farm,
then hire some RIP TO take care of it,
instructing him not to bother you
Encourage the raising of livestock
by attending horse races, and patron
ize breeders by betting on the result.
Show your interest in the growth
of rye. barley and hops by partakiug
freely of the beverages therefrom con-
cocted. Use tobacco freely. Don't
get married; can't afford it. 10 four
years, if the farm is good one and
you are as frugal as you will be like
ly to be, some heighbor will fore
close a mortgage, take the worthless
property off your hands, and leave
you to complain of your "bad luck, ,"
denounce farming. and wonder VIII t
has become of your money.
If you are an old hand at it, with
out expensive vices, and still manage
to keep farm going on slip-shOd
principles. the following rules, close
ly followed, will profit you -
CoNCERNINe LAND.-Buy all you
can on credit, and mortgage every
thing to insure its payment. To farm
it by the thousand acres is Napole
onic-it shows genius, you know,
and sounds well.
Buy it at low price, rather than
get the best. and you will thus get at
least half as much harvest for your
subsequent labor aud you will have
all the improvement for nOthing-if
there should happen to be any.
Never drain; if you do, the farm
work will be FASTENED, crops increas-
ed and manure saved-besides, you
! will lose the stagnant water.
Plough shallow. keep doing as
grandfather did. and stick to it that
"yaller earth is pizen."
CoECERNIBG MANURE.-Build your
hog pen, and, if possible, your barr
yard, across a running stream; this
will carry the filth off your farm, and
you will not be troubled with it.
Some of our best farms are always
stuck up with manure
If there is, unfortunately, no stream
handy, move your barn, when the
manure has become packed five or six
feet in your yard, to another side hill
and start again; the original deposit
will wash away in time. By this
philosophical method of fanking do
thousands Of farmers get rid of pu-
isance, and promote that cleanliness
which is said to be next to godliness.
Don't be persuaded to SOW clover,
and then waste it Plowing it under;
be sure that these "book farmers
who advocate such doings have clover
seed to sell
If, after the above treatment, your
soil yields any crops, never feed OF
plow under the straw or corn-stalks,
but always burn them; you will thus
"get them out of the way" and viii
gradually diminish the growth o
straw and stalks. till ultimately there
will hardly be any to burn.
Concerning CRoPs.-Plaut and
sow very late; by SO doing, you vii
diminish the crop an amount eqpa

TAKE THE PAPARs.


By II. P. WILLIS.
Why don't on take the pspersl
They're the life of our delight.
Except about election time, -
And then I read for spite.
Subscribe You cannot lose g cent,
Why should You be afraids
For cash thus paid is money lent
At interest four-fold paid.
Go, then, and take the papers.
And pay to-day, nor pay delay,
And MY word for it is inferred,
You i live until you're gray.
An old neighbor of mine,
While dying with a cough,
Desired to hear the latest news,
While he was going of.
took the paper, and read
OF some new pills IN force.
he bought box-and is be dead2
No-hearty as here.
lneY two men, as much alike
As e'er you saw two stumps,
And no phrenoiogist could find
A difference in their bumps.
One takes the paper, and his life
Is happier than the Kings,
His ohildEeR eanrearl nHd, write,
And talk Of men and things.
The other took no paper, and
While stroliing through the wood,
A tree fell down and broke his crown,
Which killed him-"very good :"
Had he been reading of the news,
At home, like Deighbor Jim,
I'll bet a cent that accident
Would not have happened him.
Why don't you take the papersa
Nor from the printers sneak,
Because you borrow from his boy
A paper every week.
For he who takes the papeFs,
And pays his bill when due,
Can live in peace with God and nans
And with the printer too.
