A CAMPAIGN STORY,

How the story got out we can't tell, who
originated it we don't know, but we do know
it is too devilish good to keep. Here is what
"they say" Dick Wood, the Radical candi-
date for Congress in this District, while can
vassing in the mountains the other day, was
compelled at one point to imbibe good deal
of "apple jack" in order to convince the ma
tives that he was not one of those "high-hy-
ers' who think themselves made Of superior
stuff to the "honest and hardy yeomanry."
The consequence was that Dick, after giving
orders to be woke up at o'clock in the morn
ing, in order to be able to reach distant ap-
pointment next day, after he retired to rest,
was, in five minutes after he lay down, "as
good as dead man" Some scamps procured
some lampblack, which they mixed with water
and, entering his sleeping apartment, thor
oughly blackened his face, to make him look
something like his politics" as they assured
the landlord. Next morning, promptly, he
was aroused at three o'clock, and was in such
a hurry to be off that he did not take time to
wash, but bolted his breakfast and rode away
at swift gait. Arrived at his destination, he
hunted up prominent Radical, to whom he
had letter of introduction, and presented
his credentials. The gentleman read the let
ter, alternating the reading with glances at
Dicks face, and then asked:
"Are you Major Wood, of Mt. Sterling ?"
"That's my name, sir" replied Dick. .
"Why, thought you was white man,
said the other.
Greatly astonished, Dick blurted out, "And
so I am p
"Well, you have id black skin for a
white man"
"What the h-ll do you mean" said Dick,
angrily. "Do you want to insult me?"
mo, sir But you had better not attempt
to speak here to-day. Our boys won't stand
speech from niggerp'
"a niggerw cried Dick. "Why, there
amt drop of niger blood in my veins. I'm
as white as you or any other man"
Seeing looking glass on the wall, Dick
stepped up and looked in it. Starting back
with an oath that fairly made the windows
rattle, he exclaimed:
"Well, if the id fools over at vile
haven't walked up the wrong man, and Wood
is over there yet!'
Jerking off his hat, he dropped into chair
and began vigorously to fan himself The
other seeing his straight hair, and noticing
that the back of his neck appeared to be
white, smeled large sized mice, and suggest
ed soap and water. The process of washing
his face revealed to Dick the trick that had
been played on him. Mortified beyond meas
ure, he made the gentleman pledge himself to
secresy, saying that he would not have it to
get out for the world, for if Adams (his oppo-
nent) got hold of it he Dick) would never
hear the last of it. How it finally got out we
have no idea, but suppose Dicks friend must
have told the joke to his wife.-M Sterling

RAGAMUFFIN.

N-@>e- -
Ragamuffin was boy,
He was born to be joy;
But he always tore his clothes;
How he did it gracious knows!
Dress him in bran new suit,
Give him good advice to boot,
Tell him to beware of nails,
Broken walls and jagged rails.
Not to grub upon his knees,
But to mind his Q's and P's-
No improvement came Of it;
Very soon there was slit.
Or a great piece hanging loose;
Jacket-sleeve not fit for use;
Or his trouser-knee was ripped;
Or a button off was stripped!
BY his friends lat this appalled)
Ragamuffin he was called;
What they meant was to express
Nothing but his raggedncss.
But when he went out to play
It did on his feelings weigh
To he called by such name,
For he did not like the same.
May we hope that this will end
In impressing on our friend
That he should not tear his clothes?
(How he does it gracious knows.)
When he next is called upon
Nice made, new attire to don,
If week away should roll
And he has not torn hole,
We will look for better days,
Otherwise this sad disgrace
Must continue still, and he
Ragamuffin named must be.

ICANNoT PRAY FOR FATHER ANY MORE.
A child knelt at the accustomed time to thank
God for the mercies of the day, and pray for
his care through the coming night. Then, as
usual, came the "God bless dear mother and
-"
But the prayer was stilled, the little hands
unclasped, and look of sadness and wonder
met the mothers eye as the words of hopeless
sorrow came from the lips of the kneeling
child, 81 cannot pray for father any more"
Since her little lips had been able to form
the dear name, she had prayed for blessing
upon it. 1t had followed close after mothers
name. But now he was dead. I waited for
some moments and then urged her to 60 on.
Her pleading eyes met mine, and with a
voice that faltered, she said:
20, mother! 1 cannot leave him all out;
let me say, Thank God that I had a dear
father once; so can still 60 on and keep him
in my prayers
And so she still continues to do, and my
heart learned lesson from the loving inge-
nuity of my child Remember to thank God
for mercies past as we'll as to ask blessings for
the future.-The Christian.

tilizer. It may not be wanted near the coast,
where saline spray is often driven inland
for miles but estimate its value at twenty
five cents per bushel on my place, which is
some twenty miles from Long Island Sound
and nearly twice as far from the broad ocean.
That is to say, I consider ten bushels of salt
per acre, applied to my fields, one-half in each
of two consecutive years, about the best $3.50
worth of plant food that money will buy me.
And almost any farmer can obtain refuse salt
from importers, manufacturers, tanners, re-
packers, or grocers and dealers who buy salt
meats or fish by the barrel and sell them out
by retail, if he will but inquire and be pa
tient.
The prominence given to phospates, and
to phosphate substances, in our day, is fully
justified. In rude ages when cultivation was
desultory and crops scanty and capricious,
while animals decayed where they died, and
bones were thrown anywhere so that they
should not be in the way, there was little need
ofapplying phosphates to the farmers fields
and no call for them. At length, all is
changed. For half century England quiet
ly bought up the bones of all animals that
died on or near our sea-board and applied
them to the fertilization of her fields, while
our farms, through the sale Of milk and of
living or slaughtered animals, were steadily
losing all that hers were gaining. When we, at
length, awoke to the suicidal madness of this
display of ignorance and heedlessness on our
part, we had to recover the leeway thus made;
and have no doubt that we had, and still
have meadows and pastures which would still
give fair crops of grass, but on which sound
boned, strong OK could with difficulty be
reared. Hence the policy and necessity OF
applying phosphates, in some form, to the
we'll worn fields of our older States-a neces-
sity which is not at all felt in newer regions
and on virgin soils.

old route located by the Cincinnati &

on could be occupied by new line OF
road, or whether the mortgage issued
on that road cover the extension be-
tween Marietta and Bellaire2
Would it not be well for the people
along that line to put this project in the
hands of some leading entsrprising mar
who will examine the matter and en-
deavor to obtain subscription that will
induce our people to assist in the exten

PoLYGLoT BUsINEss.-The widespread
influence Of American skill and enter
prise has outstripped the comprehensions
of the Americans themselves. The fab
rics of our mills clothe the savages Of
both continents. They wrap the loins of
Africa, and the tawny skins of South
American pampas. But wider still are
spread the products of our skill in medi-
cine. A late visit to DR.. j. c. AVER &
Co.'S laboratory and Office in Lowell,
shows us that the whole surface of the
habitable globe pays its tribute there :;
there they cater to and serve the require
