THE "Alma" is the name of pc
culiar settlement near Marengo, in
Iowa. The colony consists. of sue
cession of small villages, seven in
number, lying along the Iowa river
below Marengo. It was organized in
1856, and now contains about 1,300 in
habitants. The colony owns 10000
acres of land. The first village set
tied, called {. Alma,n is much the
largest, and is town of 400 inhabi-

JUDGE HUGH BREcKENRIDGE, of the
Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, the
witty author of Modern Chivalry,"
whilst riding through Westmoreland
County, saw a girl who was going out
to milk the cows place her hand on
the top rail of fence and spring over.
"If you can do that again, my girl, I
will marry you." The girl did so.-
The. judge disnounted, saw the pa
rents of the girl, and told them that
he would undertake the education of
their daughter, and afterwards marry
her, which was done.

AN inventive Frenchman who wit
messed the great petroleum confiagra-
ton at Bordeaux, recently, suggests a
new mode of harbor defense: "In
case hostile fleet should lombard a
port, all that would be necessary
would be to pour several hundred
barrels of petroleum on the water at
the ebb tide and light it. Wooden
ships would be burned, while on iron
ships the crews would be roasted.

SOME monster of a man had the impertinene
to send in poem to the last meeting of NeJ
York sorosis, wherein were the following stan
zas:
The shades of night were falling fast,
As through an Eastern city passed
A blooming maid in bloomer drest,
With this device upon her crest;
Sorosis.
Her brows were krit: beneath her veil
Her eyes blaized like a comets tail; !.
And like martial bugle rung
The tones of that outlandish tongue
Sorosis.
Try not the polls. oh maid; beware
The scheming politicians snare: .
Twas all in vain the old man cried,
For still the ringing voice replied
SoroSis.
oh stay, the young man cried, and rest
Thy waierful upon this vestl
A tear stole down her planted cheek.
Butstin she answered with squeak

BUSINESS,

T. There is a good deal of talk in Phil
adelphia among the brokers about a
certain fast young man whose father is
overburdened with millions.
The young man would not work,
and many were the quarreis between
them.
At last the old man, quite out of pa
tience, said:
Now Jack, give you one week to
make up your mind to what business
you are to go in. No son of mine
shall be a lounger, and go to work you
shall. At the end of this week, if
you have made no choice, l will stop
your allowance altogether, and make
you take stool in my Office, and work
enough you'll have of it there"
Well, Jack promised to look around
and make up his mind.
s At the end of the week, sharp and
peremptory as was his way, the old
broker sang out:
well, Jack, times up; have you
made up your mind to make your own
living?"
Well father, I've been thinking of
it, and have something in my mind ,
but it will require considerable capi-
tal."
"Capital, Jack! capital, my boy
said the delighted father. " "Only try
to make your own living, and I'll buy
you a National Bank or line of
steamersl What is it, Jack :? What
is it ?"
b. e Well, father, was thinking that if
you would only advance me three or
four hundred thousand dollars l could
invest it in government bonds, and
make my living by cutting off the
coupons"
The old man never talks to Jack
any more about "business."
FATTENING AND MARKETING PoUL-
TRY.-Turkeys for fattening may be
treated much like fowls They must
have very clean coeps, and plenty of
fresh air. It is well to put charcoal
in their feed. The addition of por-
tion of fresh, chopped beef suet has
tens the fattening. Feed no pork
scraps within ten days of killing time.
1t makes the fat soft, and is apt to
give an oily look. DUcKs.-For our
own table it is well worth while to
feed with meal in which chopped cell
cry leaves are pretty literally min
gled. Get the ducks in the habit of
coming to the call, and then feed them
as. often as you certainly once in
two hours. They will do much bet
ter than if confined, and fatten very
rapidly. II will pay to buy young
live ducks and feed them for table
use, if not for market. In feeding
have basin of water close at hand,
and feed late at night and early in the
morning. Geese should be confined
for fattening, feed often, and on right
feed, have fresh water, and be kept
clean. aas .s.a.:=54

Ar the so-called spiritual sitting in
Hartford, recently there was present
a woman who had lost her consort; I;
and, as the manifestations began to
appear, the spirit of the departed Ben
edict entered upon the scene. Of
course the widow was now eager to
engage in conversation with the absent
one, and the following dialogue en-
sued:
Widow-"sAre you in the spirit
world ?"
The Lamented-"I am"
Widow" How long have you been
there ?"
The Lamented-" some time"
Widow" Don't you want to come
back and be with your lonely wife ?"
The Lamented-"No if I know
myself. It's hot enough around here"

HOW PROFESSOR AGASsIZ CON
FOUNDED A MAYOR.

The Grafton of Professor Agassiz
upon the character of Humboldt, de-
livered in Boston recently, reminds us
of an anecdote never yet put in print.
A pompous Mayor of a western city
said to him that he had himself been
deeply interested in natural science,
but the pressure of business had pre-
vented its pursuit. {" / became bank
er, sir, and l am what I am" The
style of grandeur in which the words
were uttered is indiscribable. Agassiz
Immediately recited his own early
history how his father had provided
place for him in bank on his leav-;
ing college how he had begged first
for one year more study, then for an
other, and when he got a third his fate
was fixed. And, Mr.. W. said
Agassiz, "if it had not been for that
little firmness [ should to-day have
been nothing but banker" Some
how the Mayor lookedrather foolish.

OLD AiETHUSELAH.

Methuselah was the oldest man that
ever lived, yet the Bible tells US he
died before his father. We suppose
that if Enoch (the father of Methuse-
lah) was carried off by divine dis
pensation, "and erds not" when his
healthy boy was only 300 years old
(Gen. ", %, 24, the latter might
properly be called his SURVIVOR"
without reference to the particular
manner of his departure (by death OF
otherwise) of the parent. Methuselah
for all that appears to the contrary,
might have lived to the destruction of
Jerusalem, had he not been prema-
turely carried off in the very prime of.
his patriarchal vigor by that sweeping
catastrophe, the Noahic deluge. We.
read that he was born 1877 years be-,
fore his eldest son or, in other words,
that he was 1S7 years old when La
mech was born (Gen. V, 55); that La
mech was 1S2 years old when Noah
was born (Gen. V, 28), and Noah was
600 years old when the flood of wa
ters was upon the earth (Gen. vii, .,
By adding these three periods togeth-
er, we find their sum to be $50 years,
which would be Methuselah's age
"when the flood of waters was upon
the earth," and we know that he was
not included in his grandson's ark
This accords exactly with the state.
ment of the sacred historian (Gen. V,
20, that cali the days of Methuselah
were nine hundred and sixty and nine
years" before he died. t

Suppose.

Suppose my little lady
Your doll should break her head
Could you make it whole by crying
Till your ewes and nose are redI
And wouldn't it be pleasanter
To treat it as joke;
And say you're glad twas Dolly's,
And not your head that broke?
Suppose you're dressed for walking,
And the rain comes pouring down,
Will it clear off any sooner
Because you scold and frown?
And wouldn' it be nicer
For you to smile than pout,
And so make sunshine in the house
When there is none without
Suppose your task, my little man,
Is-very hard to get,
Will it make it any easier
For you to sit and fret
And wouldn't it be wiser,
Than waiting like Ounce,
To go to work in earnest
And learn the thing at once?
Suppose that some boys have horse
And some coach and pair,
Will it tire you less while walking
To say it isn't fairP
And wouldn't it be nobler
To keep your temper sweet,
And in your heart be thankful
You can walk upon your feet?
Suppose the world don't please you,
Nor the way some people do,
Do you think the whole creation
Win be altered just for you?
And isn't it my boy or girl,
The wisest bravest plan,
Whatever comes, or doesn't come,
To do the best you can?
