Love and a Farm.

Quite q number of odd and anus
ing scenes frequently occur with par
ties who visit the Clerks Office for the
purpose of securing the necessary doc
ument to legalize their marriage. But
the other day, young man, about
twenty-one, accompanied by one Of
the opposite sex, equally as young, as
cended the main steps of the court
house, and then, on being directed to
the Clerks Office, took up the line Of
march for its hallowed precincts.-
Reaching, he refused to enter.
The rustic maiden, who was ex-
tremely anxious to see the marriage
prog ANNE carried to a successful is
sue, looked upon him with pleading
eyes, and then taking him by the hand,
in the most tender manner, beseeched
him to go to the court and obtain the
license.
"Oh came along. Jake; what's the
use backin out2" fell in dulcet tones
up Jacobs ear.
"Melindy, / can't. The old man will
give itlC hlo u mail 1Ou.
Haven't you told me a thousand
times that you would marry me in
spite of the old man?"
eyes yes! but there is
"Is what? ?"
"Why, the farm"
"Plague take the farm"
"Yes, but, Melindy," reasoned her
lover, "hadn't we better wait till the
old man dies, and then I'll have the
farm, sure?"
"Dod rot his old soul, he'll live ff-
teen years yet; there's no die in him.
Come along now and git that ere H.
cense; l amt a-going to be put of
any more"
"I'll tell you what I'll do, Melindy,
dear"
"Well, spit her out"
"If the old man holds out agin my
having you till Christmas, I'll marry
you then, farm or no farm
Sure ?"

mas, but If you back out then, Jake,

"I'll toe the scratch then, by jingo,
if the old man turns me off the farm

and Jake looked as if he would.
"Well, let's bind the bargain with a
kiss or two and 60 home but look

Thus re-assured on being married by
Christmas, Melindy drew off with heI

1t is we'll Known that, in different
parts of the world, there are people
who eat earth; among them are some
of the natives Of Java, who eat red
kind of earth as luxury. This earth,
which is soft and smooth to the touch,
has been analyzed by a German chem.
ist, who finds it very rich in iron. with
small quantity of potassa and soda.
Some tribes eat earth to stay the pangs
Of hunger by filling their stomachs,
and because at times they can get
nothing better; but the people in Java
eat their earth baked in thin cakes, as
an agreeable variety in their general
diet. The cakes, when slightly mois-
tened, are rich and unctuous, and the
enjoyment in eating is supposed to
consist in the sensation produced by a
fatty substance. 1t is a curious fact
in the history of human habits.
1t is singular how the seemingly
most important things will slip a mans
mind unless he is constantly reminded
of them. A Minnesota man, after
living there a year or two and enjoying
himself, had got all ready to get mar
ried, when one day he received a let
ter from Maine, and on opening il
found it was from wife, asking for
money to support the children. All
that time the fact of his having a wife
and children had slipped his mind.

A Solemn Old Joke.

Judge Winans, who is ordinarily as
grave as a grave-stone, kept the House
laughing, the other day, while attempt
ing to get the Speakers eye, and so OBJ
tain the floor. "Mr. Speaker" cried
the Judge to Mr.. Dawes, who was in
the chair.
Speaker-The gentleman is not in
order.
Winans-Id like to be told, Mr..
Speaker, how you know that before /
say what | want. Laughter.
Speaker-The gentleman will take
his seat.
Winans-Is there anything in the
rules that requires me 10 be seated be-
fore have said word?
Speaker-The gentleman is not in
order, and the Speaker cannot proceed
with the business until order is restored.
Winans-Would il be strainiug
point of order for ME to address the
Chair? Loud laughter. Voices from
over the House, "NIr. Speaker| "Mr.
Speaker"
Speaker-Gentlemen will resume
their seats.
Cox-Does that include the gentle
man from Ohio?
Speaker-The Speaker has not yet
recognized the gentleman from Ohio.
Winans-I thought as much. / have
here, Mr.. Speaker, pair of spectacles
of great magnifying power. Shall l
show them to the Chair, so that 1 may
be seen? { [Roars Of laughter all over
the House.
Speaker-The gentleman is out of
order.
Winans-I rise to a point of order.
Speaker--The gentleman from Ohio
will state his point.
Winans-That q motion to adjourn
is always in order. Great laughter. ]
Speaker-Does the gentleman from
Ohio move to adjourn?
Winans-That was my wish when
the Speaker invited me to be seated.
Laughter.]
Speaker-Does the gentleman from
Ohio move to adjourn?
Winans-No; got over my hurry.
And so the Judge sat down with i'm
mense gravity, and the House fairly
convulsed.

TIE DANDY.-The effeminate man
is a weak poultice. He is a cross be-
tween root beer and ginger-pop, with
the cork left OUT fresh-water mer-
maid found in COW pasture with hands
filled with dandelions. He is tescup-
full of syllabub; a kitten in panta-
lettes a sick monkey with a blonde
mustache. He is vine without any
tendril; a fly drowned in oil a paper
kite in a dead calm. He lives like a
butterfy-nobo6y can tell why. He
is as harmless as cents worth of
spruce gum, and as shirt button with
out hole. He is as law as a bread
pill, and has no more hope than last
years grasshopper. He goes through
life on tiptoes, and dies like cologne
water split over the ground.
Ohio is Dragging over a man with a
wonderful memory. He is fiftythree
years ofage. illiterate and nearly blind,
but he remembers the occurrences of
every day since January l, 1928, when
he was nine years old. Mention any
date to him in the last forty-four years
and he tells instantly what day of the
week it was, what sort of weather pre-
vailed, and what he was working at
and conversed about. A gentleman
who proposed test provided himself
with a journal for forty'five years, and
after several severe cross. examinations,
proved the OhioHn to be correct inya-
riably.

Cider Topers.

When the Massachusetts, Legislature
under temperance pressure. passed a
stringent AntiLiquor law, they, they
saved the cider of the good deacons,
and so kept their friendship. The Ger
man was deprived of his beer, but the
cider of the Deacon was sacred from
the unmannerly attack of the staute.
Already, the effect of general cider
drinking is showing itself in the rural
districts, and the Boston Traveller, the
organ of the Temperance crusaders,
after confessing that the faces and the
manners of the cider drinkers exhibit
the effect of their free potations, quotes
medical pamphlet, published nearly
a century ago in England, in which
sickness in Devonshire was charged to
the use of cider. Such persons, it is
said, have the collie, and upon this gout
supervenes. They take in "such a
quantity of crude gross tartar" that
the blood becomes acrid the bile is
rendered acid, and produces much mis-
chief, bringing on pains, anxieties and
spasms." Such is the retribution
the Massachusetts, deacons bring on
themselves for their unjust discrimina-
tiona. AS the Traveller very justly re-
marks, People who have lived in
places where cider is freely drank,
need not be told that the cider torers'
are the most unfortunate class of
drukards."

A Rockingham Girl.

The man who gets one of our best
Rockingham girls for wife, SAYS the
Register of that place, does a splendid
business for himself. No portion of the
country that we have ever seen or
heard of can furnish more enterprising
women than ours A widower in Clark
county, Va, had the good fortune to
get one of our Rockingham girls, who,
from her poultry alone, the past sea-
son, made almost enough to support a
small family. This lady raised, from
five turkey hens, seventy-fve turkeys.
In addition to these she raised between
300 and 400 chickens. She sent forty
nine of her turkeys to Washington
the week before Christmas, and OBJ
tanned for them twenty cents per
pound, the lot bringing S9l.10. She
has sold Sl11.10 worth Of poultry this
fall and winter. In one month she
gathered and sold fifty-two dozen of
eggs. This lady is a young housekeep-
er, too, and has the care of q growing
family upon her hands.

Formation Of Character.

IF you ever watched an icicle as il
formed, you would have noticed how
it froze, ore single drop at time, un-
til it was foot long or more. If the
water vas clean, the icicle remained,
and sparkled in the sun; but if the
water was slightly muddy, the icicle
looked foul, and its rare beauty was
spoiled.
Just so our characters are formed.
One little thought or feeling at time
adds its influence. If every thought
be pure and right, the soul will be
bright and lovely, and will sparkle
with happiness; but if there be many
thoughts or feelings impure and wrong,
the mind will be soiled, the character
depraved and darkened, and there will
be final deformity and wretchedness.
How lmportanV, Ineu, TTiuJ we snuulu
be on our guard against every evil i'm
pulse and desire, and hear not to the
voice of the wicked"

Bliss Of Ignorance.

Mr.. Charles Laplace is old-he is
verging on three score and ten but
he sometimes looks back along the
aisle of time and sees dimly outlined
in the distance some beautiful flower
that he loved when passing that way,
and recalls the pleasure that it gave
him. Sitting by his lonely freside, he
often indulges in these reflections, and
one night recently they came trooping
around him like old friends, and the
old man shut his eyes that his mental
vision might become more clear. Just
then soft warm lips were pressed low
ingly on his brow. 1t sent a thrill
through him like fire. If it was de-
lusion, he throught it the sweetest he
had ever known. For fear that the
sensation would vanish if he opened
his eyes, he persisteDtly closed them,
and ever and anon the soft warmth of
those fresh, sweet lips would caress his
face, brow and neck. 1t was electrical.
Surely, he had a fairy visitant, for he
heard no footstep, not even the rustic
of oress. But the suspense at last
became intolerable, and he opened his
eyes to see the fair lfoGer that memo
ry and love had conjured up. 1t was
his Maltese cat IN. o. Pic.

A Bitter Sarcasm.

In the Golden City, gentleman by
the name of Jones recounts his expert
ence of juries. He lived in the small
town of Bloodandthunderville, where
he saw man brought in mot guilty"
of murder because he had shot the Sc
ducer of his wife. This gave him an
idea. He remembered that in by-gone
days, one Mr. McMichael had horse
whipped him with impunity. Thirst
ing for revenge, Jones went off and
shot McMichael he was brought to
trial, and told the jury that he once
had a wife who loved him till the
spoiler came, and that spoilers name
was McMichael. Instantly the jury
roared out "not guilty" Then he shot
a man who pulled his nose in days of
yore. When the twelve heard him
sob, 81 had sister once who" they
madly yelled mot guilty" Then he
killed a man who had caned him.
"Ah, gentlemen" said he to the quo
decemviri, "have you mothers-in-law?
l had one once, but this viper, this asp,
this corba di capalla, this anaconda,
this boa-constrictor, the deceased"
mot guilty." they yelled in chorus.
Mr.. Jones had another enemy who had
cowbided him. He murdered him also,
but by this time all his dssolute rela.
tives had been used up, and when he
sobbed, "Ah, gentlemen, l had cat"
the jury absurdly refused to render a
verdict Of mot guilty." and so his
lawyer had to get a new trial fer him,
which he did, and thus cleared him.
He is now afraid to do bloody deeds.

Detecting Counterfeit Notes.

Many of the women engaged in the
redemption bureau, at Washington,
become exceedingly expert in detect
ing counterfeits, matching fragments
of notes, and counting currency. The
ends of their fingers are educated to
such a degree of sensitiveness that they
discover counterfeits by simply feeling
A gentleman who, l think, must have
been slightly jealous of this competi-
ton in the labor market, said: mo
wonder they count money rapidly they
are so light-fngered." But their super
ior officers bear witness to the fact, not
only that lightness of fingers enables
them to count money rapidly, but that
they possess a quickness of PERCEPTION
by which they count with fewer mis-.
takes than men. 1t seems hard though
no doubt necessary, that if, in spite of
their carefulpess, a counterfeit does es-
cape their facile fingers, or an error
occur in their reckoning, they are
obliged to make up the loss from their
own pockets. New clerks often lose
considerable sums in consequence OF
such mistakes.
