A BIC HOG STORY.--i'0sk on the Ritse.
II say, Jim, you know that conlounded hog
of mine, that has caused me and all the
neighborhood more trouble than the rebel
lion ~ yasr s1ssws
swell, Tom. should think had good
reason not to forget him, since the time he
went through my corn crib, like water
through a seive."
II sold that hog to-day"
"Who on earth wanted him, Tom he
wasn't no earthly account, for he belongs
to the racer bred, and all the corn in Vir-
ginia won't fat him.
"Well, you see, Jim, a feller comes
along to-day, and says he to me: 'Strang-
er, want to part with that porker? Saws
| to him: Mister, I've raised that hog from
little pig, and got sort of 'tached to him
like, and don't knows | care to SELL and
all the time | was wishing he would offer
me fifty cents for tho cussed varmint, when
he says look here, stranger, rattleis and
black snakes are very powerful plenty on
my ranch, and think that there hog is
worth just ten dollars to me for TO clean
'em out; what do ye say, will you take the
money or keep the pork ?"
Jim, compare me to wood-pecker
going for June bug, and you can form
some idea of how that hog and the ten
dollars changed locations, and you see /
was trying to find some article that could
sell to buy the tickets to see old John
Robinson's big Menagerie and Circus, when
along comes that man and buys the WORTH
less critter. Well, it's an 'ill wind that
blows nobody good, and if the snakes had
not been 50 tarnal thick on that mans
farm, should have had to have sold some
thing else to raise the wind, but am going
with the old woman and all the children,
sure, for the town will be check full of
people,"
"Well, Tom, was coming to town, and
Martha says Jim, you had better take
some eggs and butter along. for the chill
tlren will want to 60 TO the Menagerie and
Circus of Old John Robinson, for when he
comes with bis big show there will be
sensation, and | intend to let the children
have q grand holiday and enjoy themselves,
for 'yoaknow how it is yourself, we were
once children" And thus the old friends
parted, TO meet at the Menagerie and Cir
Gus of old John Robinson in Richmond,
Wednesday, October llth.

enterprising business men, and is conduct

book--its teachings are practical, and can
not fail to be of immense service to the til
lers of the soil.

. DEoLINATIoN.--Judge John A. Mere
dith, gentleman of decidedly the best
ability of any of those selected by tho
Democratic party OF this city, as candidates
for the Legislature, has wisely determined
to withdraw from the canvass and let some
one else be offered as sacrifice. We have
already referred to the fondness Of the
judge for ofiice-holding, and we have no
doubt he would willingly "have stuck, :"
even if he had have seen any hopes for
the success Of the ticket. It is either this,
or the judge is unwilling to lend himself to
the fraudulent means which must be
adopted, in order to carry the city. In
either event, Judge Meredith has shown
superior Judgment or such purity of char
acter as raises him above the dirty work of
politicians.

Good Advice.

An article in the May number Of
Home and Hculih, on "thc health Of
womea," by Julia Colman, has the
following good a,lvice:
B, sure to retire early. Djo Lewis
says that he has found this rule abso-
lutcly Indispensable in his school for
young ladies. Many maid and mat
ron has robbed herself of early bloom
and grown thin and worn for lack Of
AN hoar or two more. sleep before
mid light. Some take this time to
read after the children aud husband
have retired, saying it is "all the time
they can get" Others think it neccs-
sary to devote these hours to their
sewing. know one dear good wo-
man who ways will insist on sitting
up TO finish any garment nearly done,
aad dearly enough has she paid for
this ."Sin of finishing otK" rs her
! family facetiously call it. But if time
/ must DO taken from sleep for such
purposes, it is better TO take it in. the
morning. Such change Of hours
should be made gradually, but when
made it pays well.
Nine o'clock is good hour for all
hard working women to 20 to bed,
but if you grow sleepy 60 earlier.
Above all things we should not allow
ourselves to nod or doze before rctir-
ing. OF all forlorn moments in ones
life, l know Of none 40 utterly dcso-
late as that which comes to the per.
son who mnst "wakc up and 20 to
bed" Besides an imperfect nights
rest often follows such indu lycncc,
and the subject rises already weary
before commencing the work of the
day. A nap in the middle Of the day,
if it be not too long, will be Of dccid-
ed benefit to the tired woman. The
great difficulty is that it should not
be take2 soon after dinner, and before
dinner we arc apt to be'busy.
But whatever We do, we must be
reasonable, use common sense, and
understand ourselves.

The Use Of Water.

The celebrated French physician,
DImouIin, in his last moments, while
surrounded by sevcra! Of his col.
leagues, who were dcploring his cp-
preaching death, addressed them
thus: "Gcntlemen, l leave behind
me three, excellent physicians"
Each Of the doctors present conceiv-
ed himself to be one OF The three but
they were soon untieccived, when he
informed them that the three he
mca,.t were aroter, exercise and diet.
AS the last two harc been sufficient.
ly treated of in these articles, the
first may now demand attention, as it
is Of great Importance. The appiica-
ton Of cold water to the body is ben
eficial as a purifier and rs o tonic. L
is . true saying, that "clcanIncss is
next to godliness the ancient law
givcrs recognized the Intimate con-
nection between the former and
health, and secured a great sanitary
blessing by making ablation rcll-
gious ceremony.
The skin is the natural outlet for
the discharge Of carbonaccous and ct-
trtc matters, the retention of which is
liable to produce disease; if the pores
the skin be distracted, the lungs have
donblc duty to perform in separating
the carbon from the blood. Cold va"
ter acts also as Il tonic, the most pow
crful and the most natural, promoting
the circulation in the skin, relieving
internal organs, and, by its conse.
qucnt reaction, increasing the.yigor Of
the whole body.
The most convenient mode of ap-
plication is by means Of sponge,
thus avoiding the sudden shock Of
the shower bath, and the greater cold
Of general immcrsion.' The use of
cold water almost Of necessity implies
that Of friction; this, however, is val
liable in itself, hy.increaSing the flow
of blood to the skin, and relieving the
internal -congcstions the primary
cause of many diseases. The di%es-
two syssem, especially in old persons,
sympathizcs strongly with the condi-
ton Of the skin at this time OF life, a
languid state Of the cutaneons circu-
lation is u frequent cause Of indiges-
tion and i'-hcul1h.
The Duke of Wellington, we'll call
ed the "lron Duke" owed, in great
part, the remarkable preservation Of
his physical faculties to habits Of cx-
err Use, and to his vigorous and perse-
yering use Of friction over the whole
body. He heartily approved Of that
excellent Invention, horsc-lair friction
gloves, which. by their roushne:s.
supply the place Of strength during
friction to this he added other prac
tices conducive to health,
He lived so simply that his cook, a
master of his art; was forced to leave
for want Of opportunity Of displaying
his skill; he never used tobacco nor
wine; he slept on his narrow, iron cot
bedstead, thinking that when he want
cd to turn over it was time to get up;
he was often early in the streets, on
foot or on horseback when other per
sons were in bed, The late Emperor
Nicholas. Of Russia, lived in the most
simple manner, using active exercise,
sleeping, and even lying, on his
