A GENTLEMAN, while walking
with two ladies through one Of the prin-
cipal streets of Liverpool, saw beggar
approach. One of the ladies, who had
evidently seen the mendioant before, said,
''This is the most singular man [ ever
heard of. No matter low much money
you give him, he always returns the
change, and never keeps more than a
penny" s'Why what fool he must be
remarked the gentleman. ''But I'll try
him, and put him to little trouble .
So saying the gentleman drew from his
pocket sovereign, which he dropped in
to the beggar's hat. The mendicant turn
ed the coin over two or three times, ex-
amined it closely, and then raising his
eyes to the countenance of the benevolent
man, said, ''Well, I'll not adhere to my
usual custom in this case. Til keep it all
this time but don't do it again" The
donor opened his eyes in establishment and
passed on, while the ladies smiled with
delight.

A Curious Legend.

When Adam was far advanced in years
at the point Of death, he sent his son to
the angel Michael, who kept the gate of
Paradise, to pray for the oil Of mercy, SO that
he could be healed. The angel answered
that he could not be until ffty-fve hun
dred years, but he gave Seth branch Of
the tree of which Adam had eaten, bid
ding him plant it on Mount Lebanon, and
that when it bore fruit his father should
be healed. Seth planted the branch on his
fathers grave: it took root and grew, and
from it was made Aaron's rod and Moses
staff with which he struck the rock and
sweetened the waters of Marah. It also
formed the pole on which the brazen SER
pent was lifted up, and the ark Of the tes-
tlmohy. At last it came into the hands
OF Solomon, who used it in building his
palace; but it continually resisted the eff
forts of the builders to adjust it. Now it
was too long, and then again too short.
The builders, being angry, then threw it
into marsh, SO that it might serve as a
bridge. The queen of Sheba would not
walk upon it, but adored it, and told Sol
omon that upon it should be suspended the
man through whose death the kingdom
should be destroyed. Solomon then had
it buried deep in the ground, where after
wards the pool of Bethsada was dug, and
from the virtue Of this tree healing prop
critics were impaired to the water. After
it had been buried three hundred years it
rose to the surface of the water, and the
jews took it and made of it the cross of
our Savior.-Lippimcott's Magazine.

Gently hired new clerk, and of course
initiated him him at once into the mystery
of the "trade mark" The same after
noon, the newly indicted knight of the
yard-stick was showing some goods to a
lady customer, when she demurred at the
price of the articles The feelings of the
merchant may be imagined. when the
young man called out at the top Of his
voice: ssWhat shall I sell this for ? 1t

A singular case of petrifaction, while
living, is narrated Of Frederick Rutland,
the Paterson butcher, who was supposed
to have died in consequence of wounds
received in n,eelee. A post morton ex-
animation revealed the fact that he was
gradually becoming petrifed, his lungs
being hard and composed of substance
resembling soar-stone. to which his death
is now attributed, and the prisoner who
was supposed to have inflicted the fatal
wound released

How to Get Big Crops.

AS rule farmers are much more ambi-
tious to get big prices, than big crops.
There are few farms whose average pro-
duction could not be doubled in very short
time by more capital and labor. 1t is SAT-
er fuse capital in farming than almost
any other business. The credit of the
pillow is quite as good as that of the loom
and anvil; and the capital will come, if 1t
is called Cor. Use more manure, and get
thirty bushels of wheat where you now
get fifteen, AMI eighty bushels of corn
where you now get forty The quantity
of grain per acre is mainlya question of
manure and tillage. A big compost-heap
makes a full grain bin. With high ma
nuring the soil needs deeper stirring and
gradual bringing up of the subsoil to
the surface. With the present horse
harrows and cultivators. nearly all the
cultivation can be done by horsepower, at
great saving of expense and a great in
crease Of the crop.

A curious suit is about to be tried be-
fore Memphis justice of the peace. :. A
white man has young bull pup. The
pup bit barefooted negro as he was pass
ing. The negro jumped, and too teeth
were thereby extracted. The negro sues
the white man for allowing vicious dog
to run at large. The white man files a
cross bill, and sues the negro for having a
heel tough enough to drag dogs tooth
out.

Exec lence is never granted to man but
as the reward of labor. 1t argues no
small strength of mind to persevera IN
habits of industry, without the pleasure
of perceiving those advantages, which
like the hands Of clock, whilst they
make hourly approaches to their point,
yet proceed so slowly as to escape obser-
walton.

A HARD SToRY.- A Philadelphia
says: There is doctor in the northwest
ern part OF this consolidated city who is
especially remarkable for being, as the
women term it, 'short and crusty."
A week or two since he was called or
to visit patient who was laboring under
severe attack of cheap whiskey.
"Well, doctor, I'm got the tremendous
delirium, you know p
"Tremens, you fooll Where'd you get
your rum p
"All over in spots broke out promis-
euously doctor !"
Served you right"
Father died of the same disease il
took him under the short ribs and carried
him off bodily"
"Welf, you've got to take someth ing
Immediately"
you're trump, Doc! Here, wife,
Eli take nip of old rye"
'Lie still, you blockhead Mrs. B if
your husband should get worse before I
return, give him dose of that trunk
strap; may be that will fetch him to a
sense of his folly"
The doctor sailed out grandly and with
in an hour sailed in again, and found his
friend of the Tremendous deliriun' in a
terrible condition, writhing and'struggling
with pain. His wife, female of the
kind, but ignorant school came up, and
laying her hand on the doctors arm. said
doctor I gave him the strap, as you
directed"
"Did you thrash him we'll p
'tThrash him 2" exclaimed the astonish
ed woman, mo! put the strap into hash

''Oh, Lord, doctor !" roared the victim,

"But what 2"
Il swallowed the whole strap, but Pm

The doctor Administered two bread pills

CURE FOR WARTs.-An exchange says
persons afflicted with these disfgurements
on their hands, will find the following q
perfect cure: ''Take small piece of raw
beef. steep it all night in vinegar, cut as
much from it as will cover the wart, and
tie it on, or, if the excrescence is on the
forehead, Ifasten on with strips of stick
ing plaster. 1t may be removed in the
day and put on every night. In one fort
night, the wart will die and peal off.
The same prescription will cure corns.

CHEERFuLNEss. cheerful man is
happy even if he possesses little, fretful
man is unhappy in the midst of afauence.
One great difference between wise man
and fool is, the former only wishes for
what he can possibly obtain the latter
desires impossibilities.
