UTTHHOLDI.v.G CORY.

Between eighty and ninety years ago
there lived, in the Connecticut River val
lev, two farmers, one Of whom was named
Hunt, and the other Clark. The former,
in early life had been man of strong will
and somewh nat hasty and violent in temper
Sometimes he had been seen beating his
oxen over their heads with the handle Of
his whip In a way to excite the pity OF the
bvstanders. and when expostulated WITH
he excused himself by saying that he had
the most fractions team in the town. BY
and-by an alteration took place in the tenn
per of farmer Hunt. He became mild, for
bearing; and what was remarkable, his
oxen seemed to improve In disposition at
equal pace with himself. Farmer Hunt
joined the church, and was an exemplary
man. His neighbors saw the change, both
in himself and his team. 1t was marvel
to the town. One of his townemen ask ed
him for AN explanation. Farmer Hunt
said:
~ have found out n secret about nv cat
tie. Formerly they were unmanageable
The more / whipped and dubbed them, the
worse they acted. But now when they are
contrary, go behind my load, sit down,
and sing Old Hundred, and strange as IL
may appear, no sooner have ended, than
could wish. don't know how II IL. bu,
they really seem TO like singing"
In the course Of a few years. the two
farmers were chosen deacons of the church
| and they both adorned their profession,
About the time of their election, a grievous
| famine prevailed In the valley, and the
| farmers generally were laying up their
corn to plant the ensuing season. A poor
| man, living in the town, went TO deacon
| Hunt and said:
81 have come to buy a bushel Of corn
| Here is the money. II Is about all 1 can
| gather"
The deacon told him he could not spare g
bushel for love or money. He was keep.
ing double the usual quantity for seed corr
the next year, aud had to stint his OWL
family. The man urged his suit, but ia
vain. At last he said:
| deacon, If you do not let me have tn,
corn, / shall curse you"
Course mer' replied the deacon, chow
dare you do so?"
"Because," said the man, "the Bible say,
So"
"Nonsense," exclaimed deacon Unnt
"there IL no such thing in the Bible.'
"Yes there is" replied the poor man.
"Well," said the deacon, "If you car
find any such text, I'll give a bushe O
| corn
Il
They went into the house, when the mar
went To the old family Bible, turned /,
Prov. II 20, aud read. HE that withhold
eth corn the people shall curse him bu
blessings shall be upon the head OF hiu
that selleth it,"
The deacon was fairly caught. "Com
along" said he, land l will be ~ good a
my word"
He took him to the corn-house and meas
nred out full bushel of corn, helped tn
man put II into his bag, assisted him II
singing 1t upon his shoulder, and just lie
fore his departure, being somewhat of
wag, he said, with twinkle of the eye ("

corn home, go up to Deacon Clark, AM

gloss and freshness of youth. Thin
hair is thickened, falling hair checked.
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruf, which is often SO I'M
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterous substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor car only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING.
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich. glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.

How AN ECcESTRIC VERMoNTER WAS
BURIED.-An exceedingly eccentric man
has just died at Hinesburg, VT, in the per-
son OF Augustus McEwen, aged eighty
four. He had his grave dug twenty years
ago, and stoned up and filled with earth
that ii might he In perfect condition when
ever needed. Last fall he had the earth
dug out of it, saying he expected to he laid
there before the winter was over. His cof-
fin was in readiness seven years ago, and
so arranged that he could lie on his side
with his knees drawn up, as he said he
slept In this condition in life and wanted
TO sleep so in death. All his plans for the
funeral were made In advance, and among
the rest he selected four colored boys who
had worked for him more or less, as had
their father before them, as pail bearers.
They were to carry the body to the grave,
which was on his own farm, lower 1t to Its
last resting place. fill the grave with earth,
and then walk back to the house, where
they were to find each a letter, sealed and
directed to them, IN which was he money
to pay for this last service which he had re-
quired of them. His friends took good
care to carry out his peculiar wishes.

The GYRo- PIGEON. new gyro-pig-
con, or trap, an English invention, appears
in the sporting world as fitting substitute
for the unfortunate pigeon. The bird"
consists of a piece of steel, as nearly as pos
sible the size Of pigeon. with extended
wings looking something like screw pro-
peller, which, by coiled spring, il thrown
into the air, and on the principle OF the
Archimedean screw is, by the resistance OF
the air, made 10 fly through space. 1t can,
by means of a stand worked in ball and
socket joint, be made to take any direc-
ton at the start, but once launched, its
flight Is quite as erratic as that of the most
capricious "blue rock" The bird itself is
painted white or black, according to the
fancy of the sportsman, and when shot al
and struck. the lesden pellets leave theil
mark on the metal. This gives the crack
shot an opportunity to tell to nicely how
many shots he has sent into the flying
mark.

WATERPROOF CLoTHING.-It is very desirable
to understand how to make oVercoats, horse
blankets, hay caps, grain bags, and everything
else waterproof by ineurring little expense
We herewith give a recipe which has often been
sold for hundred of dollars to unsophsticated
clothers To about ten quarts of rain water add
half pound of powdered alum stir this at in
tervas until it becomes clear; then pour 1t of
intonnother bucket aud put the garment therein;
let it remain for twenty-four hours, then hang 1t
out to dry without wringing 1t. A lady, who
has tested this recipe thoroughly, writes that
when they were travelling they wore garments
titus treated In the widest storms of rain and
wind, without getting wet The rain would hang
upon the cloth in globules. In short, the gar
ments were really waterproof The gentleman
walked nine miles in a storm OF wind and rain
such as you rarely see in the South, and when be
slipped of his overcoat his underclothes were a.
dry as when be put them on. This is, we think
a secret worth knowing; for If cloth can bC
made to keep out wet it Is in every way bette

Probably as illegal and ridiculous an act as was

MiPs Susan B. Anthony, at Rochester, under the

law was passed making such acts criminal, and by

Rochester was arrested uAder It by the Unite

the election officers admitted her vote, she wSs in
