asking all sorts Of questions as to "how he
does it"
I have written chiefly about Mr.. Dick
son, because people speak of him more
than they do of others. He has been more
"written up than Mr.. Simpson or Mr..
Turner; but, personally, am confident
that Mr.. Simpson is quite as skilful, quite
as successful, and quite as intelligent a
farmer. He raises a species of cotton su-
perior to Dickson, more prolific, less given
to weed, and of earlier maturity. Some
people call it the cluster cotton, from the
punches of bolls close to the stalks and on
the short limbs. The staple is very fine,
and all who have tried the Simpson cotton
are satisfied that it is equal to the best,
From all lean learn, Mr.. Simpson makes
as many bales per acre as his better known
fellow-citizen, and while he says very little,
does great deal.

OF TWO COUNTRYMEN.

A few evenings since two rustics, who
had made their first visit to the metropolis,
and had very naturally put up at the As
tor House, were examining the hotel with
surprise and delight. They went up stairs
and down stairs-looked into the breakfast
and dining rooms, the parlors, the office,
the saloon, the barber shop, and had many
words of commendation for each. At last,
wandering along the corridors, one of them
espied the elevator, the doors of which were
open.
"Look here, Joe," said he to his friend,
'sThis is nice little room, but there's no
bed in it. l wonder what it's for p
Joe's curiosity was aroused. So he step
ped into the elevator. and he and his com
panion sat down on one of the cushioned
seats. s'This is nice" remarked Joe, ''but
I don't see exactly what it's for. Do you
Phil p
While they were trying to find out what
the nice little room was intended for, they
saw to their astonishment and terror that
it was going up.
"Hallo!" cried Joe, ''what the devil does
this mean =? It's runnin' away, Bill. Whoa
whoa whoa -
'sStop her, stop her." screamed Bill, en-
deavoring to climb out at the top. ''Dash
the internal thing, it's goin' to blow up
Get out, Joe, or you'll be killed." And
they both began to climb up the side, but
were unable to escape.
"Confound the luck, this is wooden bal
loon we've got into, Bill. It's goin' right
up through the roof, sure. When it gets
on top Of the house, lets break out ano
jump for our lives. Let's watch now TO,
our chance, old boy, or we're goners."
Still the elevator ascended, and the two
pumpkins sat still with pale faces and com
pressed lips, as if they were approaching
the rapids of Niagara in an open boat. They
evidently anticipated death struggle, anc
were prepared for it.
In few more seconds the elevator stop
ped. They were about to step out, whel
down it went, to the new astonishment an'
terror of the bucolic pair. They then CAV
themselves up for lost, and when the eleva
tor reached the first floor, and they wer
asked by one of the servants if they wishe'
to 60 up again, they stepped into the CORR
dor as if they had walked out of their graves
"What in thunder is that thing p in
quired Joe.
ssIt's the helevator,' replied the servinI
man, who, being English, had aspiration
of course.
"Well, is it trap to frighten strangers
or an Internal machine, or one of them We
locipedes I've heard tell so much about !!
The servant endeavored to explain wha
an elevator is; but he failed completely.

THE POPLAR TROUGH.

About sixty years ago, man HVeu on
the edge of forest, whose father had raised
him very tenderly, and loved him very trust
fully, and finally given all his property to
his son, as his wife and other children were
all dead and he intended to stay with his
beloved son as long as he lived.
But the old man lived too long. He be-
came blind, and lame, and foolish. He lost
the sight of his eyes, and he lost the good
use of his hands, and, alas he lost the love
of his son. His hands became SO weak and
trembly that he would drop the spoon OF
cup while he was trying to drink. He
broke so many cups and;plates, and made
80 much grease on the carpet, that his sons
wife used to scold, and said, "He's good
for nothing, and in the way; he does moth
ing but break crockery, and make grease.
And so the old mans life was very unhap
|py. .. ,., =
One day the man saw his old father droE
q plate and break it. He burst out into
angry scolding, and said, 81 will stand il
no longer. I will make you trough. Yor
are dirty as a pig, and you shall eat like
the pigs" Poor old father!
So he started out into the woods with his
axe on his shoulder. His little son, about
six years old, followed him. He soon founo
poplar tree, cut it down, aud began tc
hew out block for a trough. After lit
tie he was tired, and stopped to rest.
"Pa, what are you going to do with thai
tree? Are you going to burn it 2" 5: -
"No, I'm not going to burn it"
care you going to make rails out of p
"No, I'm not going to make rails out o.
it,"
"well, pa, what are you going to dc
with it?
II am going to make trough, my son.
"What for, pa ?"
''For your grandfather to eat out Of"
"For grandpa?" And then the little
fellow stopped to think. After while ht
added, eyes, that will be so nice; and II
make you a trough, too, pa, when you ge
old and blind" -.
The man let 60 his axe, and he began tx
think. His little boy unconsciously touched
him in the only tender place. He sat dowr
and began to remember all his fathers low
to him when a little boy. He went bach
and told his wife what had happened. From
that hour the good old man was kindly
cared for, his wants supplied, his mistakes
overlooked, his weakness provided agaius
by constant attention till he died.
Do you ever feel worried with the care
your parents or aged relatives need? Re
member how they cared for you once
and how you may need kindness from YOU

The Machine in question is simple, compact, du-
rable and beautiful. It is quiet, light running,
and capable Of performtpga range and variety Of
work never before attempted upon q single Ma
chine-using either SILK, TWIST, LINEN, Or
COTTON THREAD, and sewing with equal IA
cility the very finest and coarsest materials, and
anything between the two extremes, in the most

ALLAN,s PRESCRIPTION.

Allan had cold, so his mother kept him
in the house; but he had played jackstraws
out, he was tired of hammering, and he had
no ears for more stories. He wanted to 60
out doors, that was what he wanted. He
did not, however, like to tease his mother to
20; Allan was not tease; so what did he
He dressed up in his papa's hat and coat
and boots, and knocked at the door.
"Come in," said his mother. Allan
walked in.
81, the doctor, com'd to see your little
sick boy" said Allan.
81 am glad to see you, DOCTOR said his
mother; ''pray be seated. What can you
do for him, doctor p
81 give him three pills" said the doctor.
"First pill is, give him his mufaer and nit
tens; second pill is, give him his sled; and
third pill is, give him leave to stay good
while out doors. Mind this, and your lit
tie boy get we'll in minute. Now 60.
Good bye," and off marches the doctor.
Presently the door opened again, and AL
Ian ran in. "Mother," he asked, ''aln't
you going to mind the doctor?" How ro-
guish he looked!
"Perhaps I had BETTER" said his mother,
smiling. How could she refuse the little
fellow? for. after ALL was he not hungry
for fresh air?
So Allan had his mittens and mufler and
sled, and a fine play in the yard. And
they are three about as good pills as can be
taken; don't you think so?

DEAFNESS OF CHEAP DREss.-Cheap
clothes are the dearest. If you buy a
number of cheap dresses, you must pay as
much for making as those that are dearer, if
YOU wish them to fit. Then they soon lose
their freshness, which, after all, Was never
worth much, but such as it is they lose it
directly. As soon as they have accommo'
dated themselves comfortably to the figure
they are shabby and worn out. The gloss
of newness is never pleasing; but when
cheap clothes have parted with that, they
have parted with the onl ly thing which re-
commended them. A really good dress,
though it may may cost thrice as much as
another, lasts more than three times as
long, and never looks i'll. But, above all,
it is fit to be seen long after it has grown
comfortably to the shape.

ONIONS AS A MEDIcINE.-Hardly too
much can be said in favor of onions as a
remedy for coughs and colds, especially for
children, they are invaluable. They may
be cooked and eaten at meal time, or, what
is better, eaten raw with little salt, or
stirred up in vinegar. A syrup made of
them has saved many child from an attack
of Group or lung fever, and where those
diseases were fully settled it has gone far
toward speedy cure. To prepare the sy.
rup, slice an onion in tin basin, pour upon
it teacupful of molasses, or, what is bet
ter, honey add bit of butter as large as
a small chesnut, set the dish in the oven,
and simmer slowly for an hour. Leave
one of the oven doors open, so it will not
be too hot.

BT Principles before men, says our
statesmen; but that is reversing the order
of things. Were not men made before
principles? Adam was six feet in his slip
pers before he troubled himself with shad-
ow of principle; and the principal thing
that troubled him after that was wife.
In the latter respect great many men re-
semble Adam.
