STRAWBERRIES.

The strawberry is one Of natur's
sweet pets. She makes them worth
fifty cents, the fust she makes, and
never allows them to be sold at a
mean price.
The cutler Of the strawberry IL like
the setting sun under a thin cloud
with a delicate dash of the rainbO on
it; its fragrance is like the breath of
baby when it first begins tew eat
wintergreen lozzjngers; its favor is
like the nectar which an old fashion
ell gGdd6s5 used to leave in the bottom
of the tumbler when Jupiter stood
treat on mount ida.
There il many breeds Of this de-
Iightful vegetable. but there is not a
mean one in the hui lot.
i think I have stole them lying
around lOos, without any pedigree, in
somebody's tall gras, when 1 was Ia
zy schoolbOy, that eat dredful easy
without any white shugar on them,
and even a bug occasionally mixed
with them in the hurry of the mo-
ment. Cherrys il good, but they are
tew much like sucking marble with
a handle tew it. Peaches il good, if
you don't get emmy of the pin feathers
inteW yure lips. WatermeIEons will
suite, ennybOdy who is satisfied with
half-sweetend drink; but the man who
kan eat strawberries, besprinkled with
crushed shugar and bespattered with
kream, (at somebody's else expense
and not lay his hand on his STUN
muck and thanks the phellow whOpays
for the strawberries, il a man with a
worn out conscience man whose
mouth tastes like a hole in the ground,
and don't kare what goes down it.

How Small Expenditures
Count.

Five cents each morning. A mere
trihe-thirty-fve cents a week. Not
much, yet it would buy coffee or SUI
gar for whole family. $18 25 each
year. And this amount invested in a
savings bank at the end of each year,
and the interest thereon at six per
cent, computed annually would in
twelve years amount to more than
500. Enough to buy a good farm in
the West.
Five cents before each breakfast,
dinner and supper, you would scarce
ly miss it, yet It's fifteen cents a day;
81 06 per week. Enough TO buy your
wife or daughter a new dress. S54 go
year. Enough to buy a small libra
ry of books. Invest this as before,
and in twenty years you would have
over SO, 1000. Quite enough to buy a
house and lot.
Ten cents each morning-hardly
worth thought; yet you can buy a pa
per of pins, or a spool of thread. Sew
enty cents week; it would buy sew
eral yards of muslin. $36 40 in one
year. With it you could get a good
suit of clothes. Deposit this as before,
and you would have 81 $40 in twenty
years-quite snug little fortune. Ten
fcents before each breakfast, dinner
and supper-thirty cents a day. It
would buy a good book for the chill
dren. 81 10 per week-enOugh to
pay a years subscription to some
good newspaper. $l09 20 per year,
with it you can buy an excellent or
gan, on which your wife or daughter
could produce sweet music to pleasant
ly while the evening hours away. And
this amount invested as before, would,
in forty years, produce the disirable
fortune of $4,000.
Boys, learn a lesson. If you would
be happy youth, lead a sober life,
and be a wealthy and influential man,
instead of squandering your extra
change, invest it in q library, or saw
ings bank.
If you would be a miserable man,
lead a drunken life, abuse your chill
dren, grieve your wife, be a wretched,
despicable being while you live,
finally go down to a dishonOred
grave, take your extra change and in
vest it in drinking saloon, or in to-
baccO.

Too IanYBeaux.

If by the term prospects" as ap-
piled to young lady, you mean the
probabilities of her getting a husband,
then she whose admirers may be call
ed legion, has infinitely poorer pros
poets than one whose friends of the
opposite sex may be counted on the
fingers of q single hand.
Now, it is true that everybody pat
ronizes the mode and fashion that ev-
erbody else supports, for it is the cas-
lest and most natural thing in the
world to "fOllOw the crowd But
this is not to say that young man
wants for a wife the girl who counts
her beauX by the score and her con-
quests by the dozen.
1t is true that every chicken in a
brood will leave a good dinner. and
all go in pursuit of the same object, if
they see one of their number running
away with a large-sized crumb, or af-
ter an imaginary worm. But it is
not true that a young man will for
sake the modest, gentle girl, whose
society he can enjoy without rivalry,
to compete with a score of others for
the company of young lady whose
smiles are free to all.
There is, indeed, class of men who
pay assiduou5 court to the latter. She
generally possesses many attractions
this pet of society. Possibly she
sings. Invariably she dances. She
is always surrounded by the gayest of
the gay, and in consequence of all
these advantages, whether she bepret-
ty or plain, her drawing room is
very agreeable place in which to spend
an evening; or as young gentlemen
are wont to say
cit is extremely pleasant to submit
ones self occasionally to be hand
somely entertained; but 1 would not
upon any account have it supposed
that l am looking in that direction for
wife; by no means"
Thus these gallants are wont to
speak. And, asa rule, they are not
marrying men. But when one of
them would take to himself a wife,
he goes east, west, north or south
anywhere to find girl unspOiled by
society-the one who has not in his
presence played the agreeable to a
score of others, and whom he strongly
suspects any one of them could have
had for the asking.
The worst thing for a girl-unless
she wants TO live and die an old maid
lis to have too many beaux. She
may be pretty, stylish, accomplished,
-graceful-anything you please, it mat
ters little. The very fact that she has
been the recipient of attentions from
more men. than she would need to
Know in the course of lifetime, pla-
ces her on the level of worn-out
bOot--desirabIe only to those who can
not get better.
f% If girls would but take the advice
of their own sex as graciOusly as they
take the attentions of the other, some,
at least, would cut loose from a few Of
their worthless acquaintance, and, in
the future, guard themselves against
the addresses of too many beaux.

The Language Ofthe Stock EX-
change.

A financial bear is a biped who seeks
to deDreciafe the market value of
stocks or the premium on gold. A
financial bull is biped who attempts
to appreciate both. When a bear has
sold stocks or gold TO another party,
to a bull, for example-the bear is
said to be short i'm stocks or in gold,
while the bull is long. When a bear
shows a disposition to coUer shorts,
there is a probability that he is Of the
opinion that there is about to be a
rise in the market price of the stocks
or gold of which he is short, or that
they have fallen to point which will
give him the price for which be has
"operated" or speculated. When a
bear "earnestIy desires to cover, it
shows he is very much afraid the
market will rise, or very anxious to
realize the profit he has gained. The
fgurative use of bull and bear in f.
nanciaI circles is probably based on
the circumstances that a bear paws
dol0n (values), while a bull tOsses up
(prices).-TN. Y. Tribune.

A letter from New York City says
that the Long Island gardeners are
complaining Of the unprof1tableness of
their crops this season, owing to the
ruling low prices. In some instances
the money received for vegetables and
fruit has hardly betrayed expenses Of
preparing them for market. Instead
of raising market truck next season,
therefore, many of the farmers say
they intend to turn their attention tO
hay and grain.
The market for peaches is especially
glutted, and promises to remain in
that condition throughout the month.
On the morning of the 9th inst, no
fewer than T8 car loads arrived by
train in Jersey City, consigned to par
ties in Fulton and Washington mar
kets. Prices of course are depressed, &,

Ata printers festival in MinnesO-
ia, Judge Goodrich, made a speech in
which he referred the invention of
printing to higher antiquity than is
usually ascribed to it. He under
took to prove that the patriarch Job
knew all about it, by quoting from
the following passage: "Oh, that my
words were not written. Oh, that
they were printed iR q book, that they
were craven with an iron pen, with
lead in rock forever P' The judge
considered this undOubted evidence
that Job understood the art of writing,
engraving, stereOtyping and lithO-
graphing. He mentions them in
their regular order, as they have been
discovered. This is probably the ori-
gin of the term "Job Printing" (?)

..Why don,t the GLrIs Propose?,,

A young lady of Memphis, Tenn
nessee, lately made a practical Illus
tration of a theory which has been
quite warmly advocated in the col
umns of the Revolution, that ladies
should have the same privilege as men
in making love and proposals of mar
riage. The young woman in question
hearing that young man wanted to
get married, dressed up in her tidiest
and called on him: Though they had
never met before, she Immediately
made known her errand. Being as
sured that he was indeed desirOus of a
companion, she, without further pre-
liminaries, offered her heart and hand.
The next day they were married, and
are now living happily together.

THR COTE.
me- gnta "a LEnarse wnoled sheen

The cote liza koarse wOoled sheep.
They have a split hOof and whole
tail.
They have a good appetite and a
sanguine digestion.
They swallow what they eat and
will eat ennything that they kan bite.
Their moral karacters are not pol
ished; they had rather steal a rotten
turnip out of a garbage-bOx than cum
honestly bi peck Of oats.
The male cote haz two horns on the
ridge of his he'd, and a mustach on hiz
bOttem lip, and IL the plug ugly Of
the naberhOOd.
A masculine cote will fite emmy
thing from an elephant down to his
shadder on a dead wall.
They strike from their butt end, in
stead of the shoulder, and are as like
ly teW hit az a hammer IL a male he'd.
They are a high seasoned animal,
az much so az pound of assi6dity.
They are faithful critters, and will
stick to friend az long az he lives in
a shanty.
They kan climb ennything but a
creased pole, and kno the way up a
rock az natural az a WOOdbine.
They are az certain to raise az
young ones. Some families are baff
gOtes and the other baf .children.-
They are good eating when they are
young, but they leave it oph -as they
git stronger.
They are always poor in the body,
but phat in the stumik, what they eat
seems all to go to appetight. You
mite az well agree to phaten an injun
rubber shu with klam shells as to raze
emmy adipoze membrane on the out
side bust of a cote.
A phat cote would be literary ku-
riosity.
They use the same dialekt az the
sheep, and the young ones speak more
huently than their parents do.
There are only tew animals on the
earth that will eat tObakkO. One iz a
man, and the other is a cote, but the
cote understands it the most, for be
swallows spit, chaw and all.
The male cote, when he il pensive,
IL venerable and philOsophic old
kuss, and would not make Il bad pro
.fessor of arithmetic in some of our
colleges.
They are handy at living a long
time, reaching an advanced age with
out arriving at emmy definite cOnklu-
sion.
How long a cote lives without Civ
ing it up, there il no man old enuf
tew tell.
Methuzeler, if his memory was bad
at forgetting mite give a goOd-sized
guess, but fortunately for science and
this essa, Methuzeler amt here.
The female gOte il either the moth
er, or sister, or cuzzlu ov the male
cote, ackOrding to the circumstances
of the case, or else 1 labor under de-
lusiOn, l forget which.
They give milk intuitively, about a
quart, before it is watered, in twelve
hours, which il the subject of nOur-
ishment, in various ways.
This milk, which is extracted from
the female cote, iz excellent tew fin
ish up young ones on, but is apt tC
make them bellycOse and fightful.
1t il not unkOmmOn for a babe
while inhaling this pugnashus fluid, tC
let Orph his left coliecshun of digits,
and catch the nurse on the pinicIe OI
the smeller, and tap it for claret.
This Is a kOmmOn fakt, among Irish
babes, and explains the reason viii, in
after life, these same babes makes such
hriIIianf hits.

Mark Twain writing about Boston
to the Alta California, says: "You
must learn to pronounce Quincy as if
it was Quinzy, and Fanueil as if it
were Funnel. In this way you can
palm yourself off on the unsuspecting
for a native, and so receive their re-
spect."
