and pound of dove" We need hundred

Evil is wrought by want of thought
As well as want of heart
1t is not always wise to talk with all we
meet on the subject of religion-sometimes
it is an impertinence.
The worst bore | ever knew was one of
the best Christians. He was in dead earn

learned Bible tactics. He would button

street in Philadelphia, the crowd tumblng

wasted lodging round the corners lest he
should collar me! We both lored the glori-
GUS theme but if man is on his way to
the dentists, with his tooth jumping as if
for prize, he does not want to stop even to
talk about heaven. This blessed brother
had any amount of doce, but he lacked SER

One young man entered a stage in New
York. He was burning up with zeal for his
Master. An old gentleman sat in the corner
reading Bible. "There," thought young
Timothy, "is chance to scatter seed" The
old gentlemen alighted-he likewise. The
old gentleman walked down Broadwav-he
likewise. Soon he came up with the old
gentleman, and with dignified solictude ex-
claimed, like Philip to the eunuch, Under
standest thou what thou readest ?" But,
unlike the eunuch, the old gentleman under
stood it all; and looking down upon his
questioner with fatherly smile he answered,
as he patted him upon the shoulder, I" Young

Nazareth waiting for the fit season to arrive.
When that season. came He performed His

In later years Kate presided over the
home once beautified by Susie s presence.
Yet the sunlight comes not back again.
Kate is proud of her husband. but the
old love of self remains and the pleas
ant little surprises, the tender, seif-sac-
rifcing spirit are gone forever. They
have much brilliant company, and Kate
is admired by all, but Frank does not
enjoy such things as of yore, and often
he steals away from their many guests
to the quiet graveyard, and kneeling by
a grassy mound, where rests all that is
mortal of the departed one, cries pite-
ously, oh, Susie, Susie want you
back again l want you back"
Sometimes in the stiffness of the night,
while Kate is sleeping by his side, Frank
seems to see a form bent gently over
him, and to hear sweet voice say, ::Be
happy, Frank" But he can not heed its
bidding, for
"The tender grace of day that is dead,
Will never come back"

ANECDOTES.

SroP My PAPER" Illustrating the fear
ful consequences of this highly retributiye
measure, the Philadelphia Posi- tells the fol-
lowing upon the Ledger Of that citv.
This fearful threat reminds us of a story
about Mr.. Swain years ago when he was
proprietor of the Ledger. By his course in
regard to some public matter he had offend
ed number of readers, one of whom met
him on Chestnut street, and thus accosted
him:
Mr.. Swain, have stopped the Ledlqer.' y
What is that, sir?''
81 have stopped the Ledger" was the
stern reply.
Great heavensi" said Mr.. Swain, my
dear sir, that won't do. Come with me tc
the office. This must be looked into" And
taking the man with him he entered the
office, at Third and Chestnut streets. There
they found the clerks busy at their desks
then ascended to the editorial rooms and
composing rooms, where all was as usual
finally they descended to the press rooms,
where the engineers were at work.
81 thought you told me you had stopped
the Ledger" said Mr.. Swain.
$50 have," said the offended subscriber.
Il don't see the stoppage; the Ledger
seems to be going on.''
"Oh! l mean to say--that is, that I-ah
had stopped taking it,
Is that all?" exclaimed Mr.. Swain.
"Why, my dear sir, you don't know how
you alarmed me. AS for your individual
subscription, l care very little. Good day
sir, and never make such rash assertions
again"
A HUSBANDS REvENGE-The most diff
cult thing in the world for woman to do is
to get ready to go anywhere. There is
nothing woman will resent more quickly
or tiercely than an intimation that she may
possibly miss the train. Our friend, Bray.
fogle, gives US an instance of this.
Bray was supposed to take the ten O'Clock
train, as he was going to visit some relatives
in the country. Having suffered on previ
GUS occasions for injudcious suggestions
Bray thought that for once he would lei
things take their natural course. So he
slipped his coffee and ate his eggs on toast
while madame curled and powdered, dancing
attendance on the looking-glass continually
until she had at length completed some nIys
terious and wonderful arrangement at the
back part of her head
Then Bray sat by the stove for an houl
and read the morning paper, while madame
still continued to get ready. At last, just
as he had reached the final paragraph o.
news matter, and was beginning on the ad
vertisements, madame tied her bonnet string;
under her chin, took one long, lingering Low
ing look at the image reflected in the glass
and sweetly announced:
Well, my dear, I'm ready"
Ready for what ?" asked Bray, in well
affected astonishment.
ITO go to the station, to be sure" sale
Mrs. Brayfogle, tartly.
"Oh," said Bray, I'd forgotten. Well
madame, continued he, looking at his watch
+" that train has been gone thirteen minutes
Just keep on your things and you'll be ready
for the train tomorrow morning"
We draw veil over what followed. W.
are assured. however, that the next morning
Mrs. B. was ready hour earlier than wa,

very crater of Vesuvius A party of six
tourists, with guides, horses, and all neces-

company, an American and Frenchman.
insisted on being lowered down to the cav
ern which is formed below the mouth of the
volcano. The guides complied with their
request, and lowered them by ropes. The
mountain being perfectly quiet, no danger
was anticipated; but when one of the party
above the crater called out to the rash ad-
venturers, no answer was returned. The
guides, growing anxious cried, E" Gentlemen,
it would be better for you to hold on to the
ends Of the ropes. Still the ropes remained
slack, and no answer came from the sui
phurous and murky cavern below. Twenty
minutes passed, and the adventures were
yet silent. 1t was then proposed that one
of the guides should oe lowered, and hold
on to the ropes until he had investigated the
appearance of the cavern base. He had
hardly entered when he cried out loudly,
Up! up! there's nothing here but very
narrow rock!" As far as any living person

This is bilious country, that is the peo-
pie who live here are especially liable to bill
ious diseases. There is, perhaps, no better
preventive of bilious diseases than the con-
slant use of fruit as diet. 1t corrects the ac-
ids and juices of the stomach and assists diges..
ton. It keeps the bowels properly active and
prevents that sluggishness and torpidity, which
promotes bilious arrangements. Fruit to do
its best Office in the diet should be cooked and
eaten as part of the regular meal. Thus used
how delicious it is How it adds to the pleas
ure of meal to have it enriched with so deli
cate and agreeable an article of diet How
chaste and elevating is the tendency OF such
diet compared with one of solid meat and bread.
So it is; the best diet is really the pleasantest
therefore, let fruit grow on our farms, and
adorn and make pleasant all our tables.

STRENGTH OF WILL AND STRENGTH OF
M1ND.-A very clear illustration of the dis
tinction between strength of will and strength
of mind was once given by gay young fellow
who probably had never read page of meta
physics in his life. This young gentleman,
whose friends called him Bob for shortness, was
of an exceedingly nervous temperament, and
any unusual indulgence in wine was sure to
leave him in shaky and unhappy condition.
Bob had consequential acquaintance named
Waf1es, who was gifted with the absorbing
qualities of sponge, and who, although in the
habit of drinking much more freely than Bob,
was never known to exhibit any signs Of ine-
briefly.
One morning Waf1es called upon his friend,
whom he found seated on the stool of repen-
tance, with wet towel bound round his head,
and several empty soda bottles by his side; and
shocked at the sight, he began to moralize.
$50 you were tight again last night, eh ~
said Wafles. "Now, why don't you do as l
do? When have drunk enough stop. You
should have more strength of mind, and imi-
tate me-"
"Strength of mind !" snarled Bob, who, nor-
vous and irritable, had very little disposition
to submit to temperance lecture from such a
source; "what the deuce has strength of mind
to do with il? Strength of will, yon mean."
"Well," quoth Wafles, "what is the differ
ence ?"
"I'll tell you the difference" retorted Bob
vindictively; "brutes have no mind at all, but
iackass has more strength of will than any
being that breathes."

TIE GRAVE OF PRENrIcE-A writer in the
Louisville Commercial, who has been wander
ing among the monuments of Cave Hill Gene
tesy, says:
As we walk to the hillside we stop and look
with feelings of sorrow at the humble spot
where the Nestor of the press, the man of
princely intellect George d. Prentice, lies.
The poet and journalist, whose, pen evoked the
admiration of the world, whose name was
synonymous with everything brilliant and poet
ic in literature, lies in ar humble and almost
unnoticed grave. A little Grecian canopy, rest
ing on four columns, with an urn in the centre
and on top Tyre with broken string-so sad
ly expressive of the music that has been lost to
the worlds all that represents in maternal
substance the illustrious dead. On the grass,
which is springing up green and fresh over the
lowly grave, is a broken goblet, in which, some
times, was placed some fowery tribute by a
grateful and loving hand. This is all that in
dicates the resting place of the man that Ken
lucky should be proud to honor. The remains
of Courtland Prentice lie near by, and are more
distinguished in their outward adornments than
those Of his father.

LOOK TO THE MULEs.-The farm-stock are
doing severe work at this season, and should be
carefully looked after. The maxims of the
war, Infantry, look to your feet" Cavalry,
look to your horses" are suggestive to planters
while they are conducting active operations
against grass and weeds. Plow stock is all the
dependence, and without sufficient animals
there is little hope of success.
After the toilsome round of each day is over
negroes are too apt to seek their own rest be-
fore they have provided for the comfort of their
animals. The mule or horse that has drawn
the plow sixteen or twenty miles in the day,
and is expected to do the same tomorrow needs
to be abundantly fed, and deserves to have
comfortable accommodation. The feeding
troughs should be so arranged that no waste
may occur, and the stables locked 80 that no
conscienceless thief may rob the poor brutes of
their rations. Bedding of good quality should
be provided, so that they may really rest and
sleep. 1t is too often the case that this requi-
site is overlooked, and animals have not even a
smooth surface on which to stand or lie, but
take only what rest they can in uncomfortable
positions. This is necessarily hurtful to them,
and the loss to the planter in the inefficiency
of their work, is considerable, not to speak Of
the loss of manure which is made from the
bedding.
Self interest and common humanity demand
attention to tho details of all stable arrange
ment, and never are they more important than
now, when the work of every plow animal is
needed to its fullest extent-Banncr Of the
South and Planters Journal.

An INNOCENT MAN VINDIcATED.-The
Jacksonville (Ill.) Journal relates the following
singular occurrence, showing how sometimes
innocent parties suffer from unjust accusa-
tions
Fifteen years ago one Sam Steele worked on
q farm for Mr.. George Barbour, who lived a
mile and half north of this place. One day
Mr. Barbour came to town, bringing his wife.
Before starting he called in Steele, and in his
presence put $3.50 in bureau drawer, locked
it up, and delivered to him the key Of the
drawer, as we'll as the key to the house, telling
him to take care of both for the day. Return
ing home at night, and recountng the money,
Mr. Barbour found that $50 bill was missing.
Steele, who was the only one that knew Of the
whereabouts of the money beside Mr.. B., de-
MED all knowledge of the missing BILL declar-
ing that he had not entered the room since he
did SO with Barbour. The latter maintained
that Steele must know something about it, and
finally discharged him from his service Steele
left and has not been heard of SINCE A few
days since Mr.. Barbour found the missing $50
in the back part of his bureau, caught in the
frame. One half of the bill was worn away by
rubbing of the drawer as it had been pulled
backward and forward. When he found it he
burst into tears, conscience-stricken from hav-
ing uniustly accused and censured Steele.

exaggerated diarrhea. When man has died
of diarrhea, he has died of cholera, in reality.

disinclining us to locomotion. The next thing
