How a Joke Ended.

some two weeks ago party of Carol
township boys started home about midnight
going up the pike on horseback. At the
Valley Inn school-house they halted, to
have moments talk before separating
Whilst there a man rode somewhat hastily
down the pike. The boys determined to
md out who he was and where he had been.
30 they called out in sport, ''Stop thief J
Halt J" The rider instead of stoppine snur-
red on his horse, and, arriving at Hamil.
toms store, started up the Brownsville road.
One of the boys followed, crying out, sHalt!
stop" The stranger, finding himself in
danger Of being overtaken, wheeled his
horse into the fence corner, dismounted.
and took to the woods. Somewhat dismav-
cd at the serious turn the joke was taking.
the unknown was told to come back. No
attention was paid to this however. and the
mysterious stranger fed through the woods
out OF sight. The horse was taken back to
the pike, and put in stable at VALLEY Inn.
Now comes the queer part of the story.-
The next morning man came down the
pike with word that horse had been STOLEN
the night before. He was told about the
strange horse, and on going to the stable
and found the lost animal. So the intend
cd joke turned out to be the pursuit of an
actual horse-thief No wonder the rascal
was scared when the young men called out,

A TURKISH BREAKFAST.

A Turkish breakfast comprises about thir-
ty dishes Soon after the first dish comes
lamb, roasted on the spit, which must never
be wanting at any Turkish banquet. Then
follow dishes Of solid and Iiqued, sour and
sweet, IN the order OF which certain kind of
recurring change is observed, to keep the
appetite alive. The pilau of boiled rice is
always the concluding dish. The externals
TO such feast as this are these A great
round plate of metal, with plain edge, of
three feet IN diameter is placed on low
frame, and serves as table, about which
hve or six people can repose on rugs. The
left hand must remain invisible; it would be
| improper to expose it while eating. The
right hand is alone permitted to be active.
There are no plates, or knives OF forks. The
table is decked with dishes, deep and shall
low, covered and uncovered there are con-
tinually being changed, so that little can be
eaten from each. Some remain longer-as
roast meat. cold milk, and gherkins, are re-
CURED to. Before you an attendant or slave

CHINESE ODD FELLOWS.

The Chinese residents of Portland, Ore
gon, have society which corresponds some
what to our Odd Fellows, and that is the
term which they use to express its character.
Its purpose is to form all respectable Celes-
tials into society for mutual protection,
and defend each other should they ento liti-
cation. 1t even goes further The execu-
tive committee takes upon itself the duty
OF Furnishing those who are found guilty of
any transgrcssion toward the society or any
member of it. IF one Chinaman attempts
to cheat another or abuse him in any
manner he is arraigned before the commit
tee, and if found guilty is 1ogged before
the society. In all cases the culprit receives
his punishment stoically; but should he
grumble OF tell the secrets of the Order
more summary punishment would be meted
out to him. In order to become member
it is necessary to be known as a good child
of the Flowery Kingdom, and the person
soliciting membership must be endorsed by
a majority of those present, An initiation
fee of $50 is required, but no more money
Is demanded, unless in some sssenliar case';
as, for instance, when sons ofs the ordsF .

JUSTICE REWARDED.

There is related legend of great
monarch of Tartary, so full of beauti.
ful truth, that it would be we'll for us
all not only to read, but to remember it.
This khan, unlike most rulers, was a
wise and good sovereign.
For many years he had resided in the
old palace which had come dewn to him
from his fcrefathers, but at length he re-
solved to build another, and to seek a
more desirable site for its location. So
taking his magnificent retinus with him
nc set out on journey through his
kingdom, and after long earch, was
rewarded by the discovery of the very
spot he sought, but an old widows hovel
stood in the very midst of it,
"Ah" exclaimed the khan, athis is
just the situation l have longed for. l
will build here if this old woman is will
ling that should remove her little cot. /"
But the poor woman boldly replied,
"Great khan, | was born in this lowly
hovel, my whole life has been spent with
in it, and death alone shall tear me frem
it Spare it in your justice, or destroy
it II you will, | cannot defend it."
| The astonished courtiers, wishing to
please their sovereign, Knocked her with
cruel words and taunts. "It il too evil
dent" they exclaimed, "that she neith-
er loves uar fears our royal master.
Come, let as pull down her ugly hut
about her ears"
But to their utter amazement, the khan
replied, "Do not fear these men, my good
woman, they shall not harm you. Your
cottage is your caatls, aud you shall live
there iu psace. The power is niue to
destroy it. A hundred poets sing of my
dominion, but power is not worthy of
hoaor or homage when it condemns the
poor widows cause, or pcrpetrates acts
Of injustice upon those who are unable
to defend their rights. No truthful
tongue can yet say that | have ever

So the royal dwelling was nrec.ed upon
the chosen site. and the palace and the
hut stood very near each other--strange
neighbors it is true t..0
Time passed on, and the fortune. that
had SO long smiled upon the khan of
Tartary began to trown. Envy ever pur.
sues the high in station, and malice the
good; the base ambition will ever. lead
those who cherish it to bate ali that msy

Thus it happened that two Of the

How New Jersey got out of the Uuited
States.

The origin of the illusions to New Jer-

wealth with them. Joseph Bonapart wish

did not desire to become a citizen. as he
hoped to return to Europe To enable him

special act of Legislature He tried to get
one passed for his benefit in several Safes.
but failed He was much shagrined, espec-
tally because Pennsylvania refused. After
this he applied to the New Jersey Legisla-
ture, which body granted both him and Mu-
rat privilege of purchasing land. They
bought a tract at Bordentown, and built
magnificent dwellings, and fitted them up
IN the most costly manner. Rare paintings,
statuary, ETC., were profuse and selected
with care, and the grounds laid out with
exquisite taste.
Joseph Bonaparte's residence was per-
haps the finest i'll America. Thousands of
people visited it from all parts of the coun-
try, and were always treated courteously.-
He was profuse with his money and gave
great impetus to business in the little town.
The Philadelphians, finding that he had
apparently no end of money, and that he
used it to benefit business generally, re-
GREETED, when it was too late, and they had
refused to let him locate among themselves;
and to keep mp their modification, would
always taunt Jerseymen with having king
with importing the King of Spain to rule
over them; they were called Spaniards and
foreigners on this account. But these
taunts harmed no one, as the Jerseymen
lost nothing by their alluring him to settle
among them; and the term foreigner" iol.
ingly applied to Jerseymen. has come down
to us long after its origin has been forgot

of Louis Philippe, we believe-both Bon
aparte and Murat found they could safely
return to Europe, SO they sold out and re-

BEST METHOD OF CURING HAY.
a correspondent Of the Bucks coun

A correspondent Of the Bucks county
(Pa) Intelligeneer says:
rst have your grass as ripe as may
be without materially damaging the quail
ity If the hay-the increase in quantity
will much more than make amends for a
littls deterioration. Your COWS can then
afford to leave few dry stems of clover
aud horses do not object to these if right
ly clred Glover that will lodge az soon

mature, and if cut young will be about
as much work to gather as the hay is
worth at present prices. Such grass
sho,ld be devoted to early pasture. |
repeat then, have your grass rips-lt
cure much faster. The clover heads, at
less three.fourths blown, if mixed with
tim,thy, usually brings the cutting just
beflrs harvest. That time has uni
fornly been the beat for me If you
have reasonably good hay weather, cut in
the forenoon and rake about the middle
Of the afternoon. making the windrow

ony half dry; then about ten o'clock
th, next day, or as soon IS the top is

by how we'll the cattle ate hay put away
a little too green in former years, The

tqhaul little too green, rather than to
Id it get rsined on. After being wet it
rust be we'll dried, or it will damage in

and damages it in the field. In dry

especially when farmers are foddering

In harvesting grain | pursue some
what the same plan. Have the wheat
nearly ripe. Leave the lunches from
tho reaper exposed to the sun an hour or
two before binding, than, il there is
snnch grass in it, try to leave the sheayes
about the field for half day, put up in
ymall haud-stacks (small to save labor)

and haul wheat when We cannot haul

grass cut just when it will yield the most
profit from the acre and labor And af-
ter wheat is cut try to nov in the best
weather. At that season We can often
cut and haul the same day The best
plan for curing hay is to cut it when
just ripe, and gather it in favorable
weather. WILLIAM LLOYD.
