A Short Sermon.

There's nine men standn' at the dore, an
they all sed they'd take shugar in ther'n. Sich,
friends and brethering, was the talk in wurldli
Gems, wonst common in this our ainshunt land,
but the dais is gone by and the sans run dry,
and no man can say to his nabur, thou art the
man and will you take emmy mure shugar in
your kaughey? But the wurds of our tex has
difcunt and more pertickelur meenin than
this. Thar they stood at the dore on a cold
winters mornin, two Baptiss and two Metho-
diss and five Lutharians, and the tother was q
publikin and they all with one vols sed they
wouldn't dirty their feet in dram shop but il
the publikin would go and get the drinks they'd
pay for 'em. And they all cried out and every
man sed, "Tll take mine with shugar-for ii
WON'T feel good to drink the stuff without
sweetenin'."
So the publikin he marched in and the bar
keeper said, "What want YET" and he answered
and sed, "a drink" GLOW will ye have it?''
"Plain and strate," says he, "for it amt no use
in wastin shugar to circumsalivate akafortis But
there's nine more a standin' at the dore, and q
they all sed they'd take shugar in ther'n y
Friends and brethering it amt only the likker
or the spirits that is drunk in this roundabout
and underhanded way, but it's the likker of all
sorts of human wickedness in like manner
There's the likker of MALLS that menny of you
drinks to the dregs but yure sure to sweetin it
with the shugar of sclfjustifcation. Theirs
the likker of avriss that sum keeps behind the
curtain for constant use, but they always has it
we'll MKT with the sweetin NV prudens and
ekouimy. Theirs the likker of selfluv that
sum men drinks by the gallon, but they always
put in lots of the shugar of take keer of No
One.
An lastly, theirs the likker Nv extorshun,
which the man sweetins accordin to circum-
stances If he's in the -four line, he'll say the
porr'll be better of eating corn bread; if he's
in the cloth line, wy it's a good thing to larn
'em to make their cloth at home if he's in the
leather line, it'll larn em the necessity of tax
ing better keer Nv shoes And there's nine
men at the dore, and they all sed they'd take
shugar in ther'n. But, friends and brethering
thar's time comm and place fxin whaI
thar'll be no 'standin' at the door, to call fol-
"shugar in ther'n." But they'll have to go rite
in and take the drink square up to the front
and the bar-keeper'll be old Satun and nobody
else; and he'll give 'em "shugar in ther'n'
you'd better believe it, and it'll be shugar o1
lead and red hot lead at that, as shure as your
names Conshunce Dodger. And you'll be en-
titled to your rations three times day, if not
more frequenter, and if you don't like it you'll
have to lump it, and so may the old Nick close
down upon all your slick palavering around the
plane old people of brotherly luv and ginirosity
and feller-feelin' and fare play Amen.

WEAVING CoLTs.-At four months old colts
are generally weaned, and this is among the
most important periods in their life.
Ordinarily while nursing, if che food OF both
the mare and colt has been good, the latter is
Eat. The point is to take from the colt no in
considerable part of its nourishment, and still
have it retain its flesh, and what is better, its
health. To accomplish this, some preparatory
steps must be taken. Colts love company
They get accustomed to that of their mother,
and ii suddenly deprived of it will pine more
or less To obviate this difficulty, we have
known breeders for four weeks before weaving
TO turn the colt into an inclosure with spring
calf, OF even cosset sheep, and not uDfrequent-
In 3 lone buck. whose isolation from the flock
will dispose him to respond to the overtures OF
the colt at once.
This company will pacify him in the occa-
sional absence of the mother, and prepare for
final and complete separation
When that time comes, it is always best to
take the mother away from home, or entirely
out of sight and hearing. If she is in reach
of eyes or ears the suggestion of loss will be
oftener made than if only the appetite calls it
up; and this latter can be in some sense satis-
fed BY an extra allowance of what the colt has
learned to love best.
The best place to keep the colt for the first
three days is on an ample barn-foor we'll COW
cred with old hay, and so protected that there
will be no chance for the colt to get its feet in
to crevices, or otherwise receive injury.
He should be fed with the very best food that
the season will admit of-grass with little
meal.intermixed; handful of oats for change;
water always handy, into which he can dip his
nose fifty times day 2; and what is of equal i'm
portance, he must have his new-made compan-
ion, the calf or the ram, to smell of, to play
with, and, in his colt way, to talk'to.
From four to seven days will be ample to
partially wean him. He can then be turned
into an enclosure with his company, which
shall afford him large space, both for exercise
and in which to obtain food. The field where
he is placed should be surrounded with a most
substantial fence-at least one so high that the
thought of scaling it will never enter the mind
Of the colt.
Besides, he should be visited by the owner,
or some one to whom he has became accustom-
ed, dozen times day, and should be always
giving some little dainty at each visit, besides
words full of soothing and caresses, which he
will most keenly appreciate. In two weeks the
crisis will have passed. He will remember the
mother, but not pine for her, and thereafter,
with abundant food, well chosen company and
careful confinement, he will be ready to enter
upon his first winter with every hope of
passing through it without harm, and beginning
his second summer in healthy and hopeful
eondition.-Hearh and Home.

How TO ERADICATE SAssAFRAs BUSHES
George Levy, writing to the Baltimore Ameri-
can, gives his mode Of destroying this trouble
some bush Many farms are infested with sas-
safras bushes, and plans have been adopted for
their destruction with little success, the trouble
being that when they are grubbed up every
small root left, will, the ensuing spring, produce
a separate shoot and thus the numbers increase.
Thirty years ago practical farmer, who had
seen four-score years, told me that, ifthe bushes
were grubbed up the day before and the day af-
ter the full of the moon in July, and the day
before and the day after the full of the moon in
August, the small roots left in the ground will
never germinate again. After thirty years e1-
perience, I am prepared to say to all who are
troubled with them, suspend all other work
embrace the opportunity offered during the
four days have named and, in the coming
spring, you may see one in thousand; but fol,
low the same course next summer, and you shall
see your enemy no more. speak from expe-
rience-I leave others to philosophize and theo-
rize upon it.

An IRREpREssrBLE NEwsBoY.-Eight da

An IRREPREssIBLE NEwsBOY.-Eight days
ago dilapidated juvenile, describing himself
as the champion Boot-black" of Chicago ap-
peared in one of our most popular drinking sa-
looms, and stated in a confidential manner to
the proprietor that, owing to the somewhat un-
lucky vicissitudes in his late career, he found
himself strapped" and begged the loan of a
quarter, with which he stated that he could
once more put himself upon his feet. He even
went so far, did this boot-blacking Bohemian,
as to state that in payment of the proposed loan,
he was willing to aid in scrubbing out the sa-
loon. The cheekiness of the boy decided the
proprietor to loan him the sum without securi-
ty, and the youngster left.
Last Monday he walked in, the possessor OF
pew pair of CATERS, a silver watch, $50 in his
pocket, and an improved appearance, which
was a sufficient guarantee of his prosperous alb
sence From his story it seems that with the
quarter" added to the results of such other Il
nancial arrangements as he had been able to
consummate, he had invested in stock of mis-
cellaneous papers and taken passage to keokuk.
What with the profits from the sales of these,
and other sharp figuring, he had been able to
enter himsef as competitor in boot-blacking
match in Keokuk, and had come off winner OF
the "pot," which was twenty dollars. Some
other little pecuniary sharpness enabled him to
return to this city in the Aourishing condition
that we have already stated. He insisted upon
paying the loan, which was of course declined,
and this irrepressible little chap walked out in
to the autumn air with confident swagger,
which would have done credit to fortunate
operator in Wall street. That the incipient
Bohemian will manage to get along in this
wicked world there can be no doubt.-&. Louis

LOCOMOTIVES WITHOUT RA1Ls.-The Bri-


tish War Department has investigated a recent
invention of locomotive without rails, and it
Is reported in official reports far more useful
than any horse. The Superintendent of Ma
chinery says he has come to the conclusion that
the question Of steam traction on common
roads is now completely solved that the ap-
plication of the India rubber is a perfect sue
cess that it opens up an entirely new held,
and that he looks upon this as discovery rath-
er than an invention.
In the course of experiments witnessed, the
engine went up labyrinth OF zigzag courts,
and it can describe a figure almost in space
of twice its length. The boiler employed is
an independent Invention adapted to the car
riage. The chief popularity is the copper pot
used for holding the water within the furnace,
and is so contrived that if the boiler contains
any water, the pot will have full supply.
This arrangements keeps the centre of gravity
low and allows the engine to run up hills OF
l in 10, or go along an angle of 3O0. The
wheel and its tire may be described as consist
ing of a broad iron tire with narrow hanges,
upon which is placed ring of vulcanized In
dia-rubber; this ringis - inches in width, and
5 inches in thickness, which thus surrounds the
iron tire and is kept in its place by the fanges
then over the India-rubber there is placed an
endless chain of steel plates, which is the por-
ton of the wheel which comes in actual con-
tact with the road the reticulated chain being
connected by sort of vertebra at each side of
the wheel The India-rubber tire and this ring
of steel plates have no rigid connection, but
are at perfect liberty to move around as they
please without consulting each other, or even
without the concurrence of the inner ring of
the wheel which they both inclose.

B., of New Hampshire, was what Artemus

tance with any one whose appearance happened
to please him. Entering a crowded car on the
Boston and Maine Railroad, one day, his Honor
found the only unoccupied seat to be by the
side of a smartly dressed and rather good
looking young woman. Ascertaining that the
seat was not engaged, the Judge settled himself
comfortably in it, and turning with his accus-
toned bland, fathcrly smile to his fair compan-
ion said:
"Your face seems familiar to me, my dear l
think must know you"

known, in a hoarse, whiskey, contralto voice,
turning vindictive pair of eyes on the aston

quaintance any further in that quarter

SAMPLES OF THE WIT OF THE LATE GEO.
D. PRENTIcE.-George D. Prentice was man
of gay and lively wit, high spirit, tolerable ed
ucation, and great readiness with the pen. In
a less provincial atmosphere he mig hit have dis
tinguished himself in literature. As it is, his
book is made up of jokes good bad and indif-
ferent-but all good enough to read as samples
of what passed in their day for sharp wit. We
give few of them:
About the only person that we ever heard of
that wasn't spoiled by being lionized was jew
named Daniel.
An English writer says in his advice to a
young married woman, "that her mother Eve
married gardener" 1t might be added that
the gardener, in consequence of the match, lost
his situation.
Whatever Midas touched turned into gold:
In these days, touch man with gold and he'll
turn into anything.

we should not initiate her too literally. We
needn't dress in green velvet through the sum-
mer because she does.
