'''Iuuuire at Amos Giles Distillery.'

Some time ago the writer's notice was
arrested by All advertisement IN one OF
the newspapers, which closed with ords
Amos Giles Ds,ilery." Our readers
may suppose, It they cnoosr, that they
following story Was dream, suggested
by that phrase.
Deacon Giles was man who loved
money, and was never troubled with a
tenderness OF conscience. His father,
aud his grandfather before him, had been
dIs;lIlers, and the occupation had come
to him AS an hair-loom in the family.
The s,il!.house was black with aye, us
well as with the smoke Of furnaces that
never went out, and the fumes OF tor
tured ingredients ccaselessly y converted
INTO alcohol. 1t looked like one OF
Vulcan's smithics translated from the ill
trrnal regions into this world. Its stencil
filled the atmosphere, and it seemed as
II drops of alcoholic perspirati"n might
be made To ooZe out from any one OF It's
umbtrs or clapboards on a slight pres
sure. It's owner was treasurer oi the
Bible society, and he had a lillle count

where he sold Bibles.
"ile that is greedy OF gain troubletll
his own house" Any one of those BIZ
bles would have told him this but he
choose 10 learn it from experience. Ii
Is said that the worm OF the still lay
cOiled in the bosom OF his family, aud
certain il is that one of it's members had
drowned himself in the vat of hot liquor,
III the bottom of which a skeleton was
some time after found, with heavy
weights tied to The ankle bones. More
over, Deacon Giles temper was hone
of the sweetest, naturally, and the liquor
he drank, and the fires and spiriluous
ium"s among which he lived, did moth
ing TO soften it. Ii his workmen some
times tell into his vais, he himself often
fell out with his .workmen. This is not
to he wondered at, considering the
nature OF their wages, which, according
to no unilequent stipulation, would be
as much raw rum as they could drink.
Deacon Giles worked on the Sabbath
He would neither suffer the Ii es of the

week most OF the casks were sent into
the country, and duly hoisted on their
stoups, in conspicuous situations, 10 the
taverus, groceries aud rum-shops. But
no sooner had the first glass 5een drawn
from aay Of them, than the invisible in
scriptions famed out on the caskhead to
every beholder, ''consuInL tion sold here

hell fire." The tipplerr, drinkers and
druDkards were terrified from the dram
shops the bar-rooms were emptied of
their customers in their place a
gaping crowd filed every store that
possessed a cask Of the deacon's devil
distilled liquor, TO wonder and be alright
ed at the spectacle. For no art could
etface the inscription, and even when the
liquor was drawn into new casks the
same deadly letters broke ont in blue
aud red flame all over the surface.
The rum-sellers, grCcsrs and tavern
keepers were full OF fury. They loaded
their teams with the accused liquor, and
drove it back to the distillsry. All
around aud before the deacon's establish
nent the returned casks were piled one

scriptions burned brighter than ever.
Consumption, damnation, death aud bell,
mingled together in irighlfnl confusion

The Canadians are building and have
nearly or quite completed wooden rail-.
road between Sorel aud Arthabaska.
The track is OF the same gauge as that
in general use on the Michigan railroads;
the rails are of rock maple, and trains
of cars drawn by ordinary locomotives
have been run over them at the rate OF
twenty-five miles an hour. The road
will cost but $4,000 a mile, including
right ct way, construction rolling stock,
station houses, shops and bridges-one
bridge overs wide river being excepted;
a, d the stockholders pay in bonds in
stead oc cash. The directors expect to
run on the wooden rails until they make
money enough to iron them, when, II
their sanguine expectations are fulfilled,
they will have regular metal rallied
road which will not have cost them
cent. After this it is TO be presumed
that there will be no more said about
the want or enterprise among our Pro-

Every farmer should contrive in every
possible way to increase the amount Of
his fertilizing material from year to
year. The following, we believe in some
respects, the most valuable reeipein ex-
istence for an artificial fertilizer for all
the cereal grains and root crops:
With one barrel Of pure, finely ground
bone, mix barrel of good wood ashes;
during the mixing add, gradually, about
three pailfuls of water. The heap may
he made upon the floor Of an o1t-build-
ing, or upon the baru floor; and, by the
use of a hoe, the bone and ashes must be
thoroughly blended together. The water
added is just sufficient to libetkte the
caustic alkalies, potash aud soda; ahd
these react upon the gelatine of the bone
kind If soap, and fitting 1t for plant food:
In this way the most valuable constitu=
ents Of bone can be Immediately iiiads
available, and the addition of potash and
soda aids in the formation OF fertilizer
of inestimable value. The water added
is not sufficient to make pasty mess,
difficult to dry, but is enough to libsratS
the strong alkalies from the ashes. This
preparation is so clearly convenient and
useful, every farmer should prepare as
much as possible for his crops during
the coming season. A little placed in a
hill OF corn will work wonders. 1t is
excellent for gard n vegetables, and fot
all kinds Of roots. 1t must be used in
small quantities, or in about the SAND
way as the 20 called super pbosphates.
A barrel of tLis mixture is worth two Of
any OF the commercial fertilizers, and
the cost will be about half as much.. II
the bone meal and ashes are very dry,
four pailfuls of water may be required;
but care must be exercised not to have 10
inconveniently moist. 1t will be ready
for use in week after il is made. Pure;
raw, finely grohnd bono and the best Of

The New York Scientific American has
lately been visited by one OF the "bie
bugs" Of the age. Colonel Ruth Gosh
en-, of Alonquin, Illinois, is.. spoken Of
by that paper:
"He is the fifteenth, and last:child (the
baby ofa family of hfteen--ten sons
and five daughtsrs--sired by a.patriarch
now 90 years.old, living;in the valley OF
Damascus, and by occupation coffee
planter. This venerable sire weighs, at
the present time, $50 pounds ayoirdupo
is, and his wife, aged 81, weighs $50
pounds.
The entire family is living, and not
one of them weighs les than 500 pounds;
tue oldest son weighs $50 pounds, and
the youngest, one huge client, outstrip-
ped them all, weighs $50 pounds. Not
one of the family is than seven feet in
height, and the Colonel is STRIPPING of
only seven feet eight inches in his stock
ings. He is not an unduly fat man, is
merely what would be called moderate
ly portly, and is thirty-.hree years
old.
He was a Colonel in the Austrian army
in 1870, and Colonel Commanding in
the Mexican army at the battle of Peub-
la,.May 5, 1862, in which the Moxicans
were victorious. His father at one time
resided in Leeds, England, but return
ed to Turkey in 1845.
The Colonel states that there has never
been any sickness in the family to speak
of, and that all are--so far as he knows
well and hearty. 1t was at Leipsic,
Germany, that the Colonel met his fate
in the person of a fair madehen weighing
100 pounds, and five feet nine inches in
height, and the union..has been blessed
with two sons, who give promise of ri
valing their father in statue. a iii.
The Colonel is finely-proportioned
man, and walks with firm and elastic
step. He is as straight as an arrow, and
has cold black eyes, hair, and mus
tache.
