A CHASTITY JoKE.-During the
recent smallpox excitement in In
dianapolis, an excited individual
rushed into atelegraph office, hur-
riedly wrote dispatch, and handed
the same to the able and talented
clerk. The message bore the start
ling information that the sender's
wife was down with the smallpox,
and closed with a request that his
mother-in-law would ''come immedi-
ately." While making change the
telegraph man said:
my friend, are you not afraid
your mother -in-law will take the
smallpox"
Without vouchsafng an immedi-
ate reply to the query, the dutiful
son-in-law remarked:
"Sir, are you a married man p
"No, sir, I am not
"Then, sir, take my word for it,
it is all right. Just bring the old
woman along"

The "Churchman" has something
to say in condemnation of the eek
traordinary taste which this nation
has for doing itself discredit at flu
nerals," as illustrated in the recent
funeral of James Fisk, Jr. Owing
to his having been a "notoriety,"
the journal referred to thinks that
thousands upon thousands. focked
to his funeral, utterly regardless of
the responsibility which they. took
upon themselves in honoring man
who, neither in morals, manners,
education nor actions, had any right
to be approved" The writer's con-
clusion is, that ''pompus obsequies
are the mark Of anything but true
and lasting respect"

LONG DRESSES.
BY ALICE THORNE.
From the Western Rura

From the western Rural.
Was ANYTHING half as inconvenient
ever invented Yet with what blind
impatience misses long for the approach
of the coming greatness. Unsuspectingly
thew rave over the beauties of a sweeping
trail Indeed / am forced to believe
it is natural feminine desire for among
the first amusements of little girl is the
chief delight of watching the effects OF
mammals dress over her shoulder, for
getting that there is trail in front as
well as behind, till the treacherous folds
trip her, and she falls to the floor.
Pardon me for mentioning my first ad
venture in long dress I'm sure I never
since have experienced quite so great h
degree of Importance. [ remember as
soon as my dress was finished l took few
''lively turns" around the streets, switch
ing against fences, and wagging away at
a fearful rate But believe me, this sen
sation is not lasting. Too soon learned
the misery GA weeping tail. Al home,
obroad, walking, or standing, in what
position you may be. long dress is q
source of anxiety. Ascending stairs with
both han,s filled, first one side of your
dress trips you, then the other, then both;
and so on you struggle and stumble till
at last you reach the final stair in any
thing but an amiable state of mind. At
public gathering or party, there is no
enjoyment in long dress, for your mind
is so anxiously engaged for the welfare
of your trial, fearing every moment lest
some rude boot will press its delicate
folds.
The last but not least, is there any
thing really SO provoking, as when in
some great haste, you arc hurrying along
to have door close and hold you fast ?
There is something SO very uggravaing
in being brought to such sudden stop,
never could blame cat for yelling
when she catches her tail in the door.

HANDLING HOGs.-In late num-
Der of the Germantown Ielegraph is
the following, which We repro
duce: h#a
A practical breeder gives the fol-
lowing advice, which in the main
we think sound, for those whose
herd is not too large, and who are
engaged in mixed husbandry. To
handle hogs to the best advantage, a
pasture IS needed of mixed grasses,
clover, blue grass, and timothy, and
it is best If thereTis no running wa
ter or stock ponds in the LOT. Hogs
do better where there are no branch
es or stock ponds to wallow in. In
place thereof, have good we'll water
pumped for them. Have troughs
made, and nail strips across, eight
inches apart, to keep the hogs FROM
lying down in the water, and let
these hogs be put on floors, to keep
them from digging up wallowing'
holes. If any feed be given It
should be soaked in swill barrels for
twelve hours before feeding-no lon
ger-and fed to them as drink. IA
