How to Pix Out a Wife.
BY JOSH BILLINGS.

Find girl that is 19 years old last May,
and dark brown hair and white teeth.
Let the girl be good to look at, not too

ghosts and oy six children in the same
family
Look well to the karakter of her father
see that he liz not the member of emmy
club, don't bet on elekshuns, and gifts
shaved at least 3 times a week.
Find out all about her mother, see if
she haz got a heap ov good common sense,
study well her likes and dislikes, eat sum
ov her hummade bread and apple dump
Inns, notiss whether she abuzes all ov her
nabors, ask her servants how long they
have lived thare, and don't fail tew OBJ
serve whether her dresses are last wears
ones fixed over.
If yu are satisfied that the mother would
make the right kind ov mother-in-law,
yu can safely konklude that the dauter
would make the right kind ov wife,
After theze preliminarys are settled, and
yu have done a reasonable amount ov
sparkling, ask the young lady for heart and
hand, and if she refuzes WI kan konsider
yourself euchered.
If, on the contrary, she should say YES,
git married at once, without any fuss and
feathers, and proceed to take the chances.
I say take the chances, for thare aint no
resipe for pertekt wife, emmy more than
there is for perfekt husband.
There iz just as menny good wives as
thare il good husbands, and | never knew
two people, married or single, who were
determined teW make themselves agree

A Hunting Story.

correspondent of the Boston journal
writing from the extreme northern couu-
TIES or New Hampshire, gives the follow
ing "reminiscences of the Olden time
In the months OF October and November
the foothills of this northern region are
the paradise OF the hunter. At the early
settlement OF Coos the forests were filled
with wild anlmalS-toXeS, bears, wolves.
deer, moose, beaver, raccOons, rabbits
and SquTrels-somc of which have LONG
since disappeared The fiercest and strong
est animal, however, was the panther,
(teitS ronc0}0r) one of the numerous
varieties of the cat family, and usually
designated by the early hunters AS the
"catamount." Its body was over five
feet long and of a cinnamon color. Not
outstanding its great strength, it was
cowardly; never attacking person IN the
daytime. Nocturnal and rowing in its
habits, it availed itself of the darkness
to destroy cattle, colts, sheep and swine.
More than Il century ago Joseph Patch.
the first white settler of the town of War
ren, came alone to these northern hills ON
a hunting excursion. 1t is related how
he lay sleeping upon his bed of spruce
boughs one dark night, in his half-open
camp, when the low growing OF his dor
at his side awoke him. The fire which he
had left burning when he went to sleep
had gone out, and all was black darkness
in the woods. Only the rustic of the
leaves overhead and the low murmur OF
the brook on the smo0th-worn stones, dis
turbed the silence. Looking cautiously
out he could see nothing. His dog con
tinuing to growl, he put his hand on the
hounds back, and found that the hair was
as stiff as bristles. Again he looked ont
and happening to raise his eyes he saw.
cleaning in the branches OF a low maplc,
what seemed two balls of fire. lie knew
what 1t was; only the eyes of a panther
could glow like that. He felt the cold
sweat creeping over him, but realizing
his danger he recovered himself, coolly
took up his gun, took deliberate aim, and
fired. There was a wild howl, dead
fall, terrible struggle for u moment.
biting the earth and rending the bark
from the trees. and the terocious animal
was dead. The hunters courage had
saved his life. The panther was prepal-
ing to spring on him, and had he done
so. Patch would have been torn in pieces.
he built bright fire for the remainder of
the night and in the morning had the
pleasure of skinning the largest "cata-
mount he ever saw.

What a Jealous Woman Will Do.

From the Pittsburg Commercial,

Don't be in a Hurry to Go.

Come, boys, have something to tell you
Come here / would whisper it low;
You're thinking of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in hurry to go.
Theecity has many attractions,
But think of the vices and sins,
When once in the vortex of fashion,
How soon the course downward begins.
You talk of the mines of Australia,
They're wealthy in treasures no doubt,
But ah, there is gold in the farm, boys,
If only you'll shovel il out.
The mercantile life is a hazard,
The goods are first high and then low,
Better risk the old farm awhile longer
Don't be in hurry to go.
The great busy West has inducements,
And so has the busiest mart,
And wealth is not made in day, boys,
Don't be in a hurry to start.
The banker and broker are wealthy
They take in their thousands or So
All. think of their frauds and deceptions
Don't be in hurry to go.
The farm is the safest and surest;
The orchards are loaded to-day;
You are free As the air of the mountain.
And monarch of all you survey.
But stay on the farm awhile longer,
Though profits come IN rather slow,
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys
Don't he in hurry to go.

Warm Feet.

To go with cold feet is to undermine the

MEASUREMENT OF HAY. Hay varies much
in weight, whether coarse or fine, green or
old when cut, moist or very dry when
stored, depth of bay, and other causes
Nevertheless, with some practice, farmers
may soon learn to make pretty near guess,
by measuring and observing the conditions
above mentioned. Fine, solid hay, not too
Old when cut, when settled under eight or
ten feet, will weigh at least, a ton for five
hnndred cubic feet. Glover will be much
less IN weight; and the top of the bay will,
0i o, course be less. The Massachusetts,
floughman gives several instances where
450 feet of fine, solid hay. low down in the
bay, weighed ton; but more commonly II
required 500 feet.

House Plants in Winter.

Mr James Wick whose large experience
a. a florlst makes him an unexceptionable
authority on the subject, gives the following
suggestions with regard to the management
~ house plants in winter
rev plants can endure the high tempera-
'uIe and dry atmosphere of most of our
@N ing rooms. The temperature should not
3e allowed to go above sixty five in the day
line, and not above forty in the night. AS
much air and light as possible should he
gwen, while the leaves should be sprinkled
Every morning. A spare room, or parlor.
OF extra bed room, is better for plants than
llving-room. A bay window, connected
Win warm room, especially if facing the
9"uth or east, makes an excellent place for
Aeeping plants in winter. 1t should have
sisss doors on the inside, which can be
riosed part of the time, especiallV when
weeping and busting. The main thing in
Seeplng house plants in health is to secure
an even temperature, moist atmosphere.
and freedom from dust Sprinkle the leaves
occasionally, and when they need water.
use 1t freely. If the green fly or aphis ap-
pears, wash with soapsuds frequently, and
OCCASIONALLY with little tobacco water, or
decoctlon OF quasSia chips. If the red
spider comes, it shows the plants are in too
dry an atmosphere. Burn a little sulphur
under the plants, the fumes of which Will

stems and leaves well moistened. Occa-
siohally' nut not often, worms appear in
the pots. This can be avoided in a great
msasure by careful potting A little weak
lime water is sometimes Of benefit in snch
cases; also, five drops Of liquid ammonia
TO gallon of water, though, perhaps, the
better way is to repot, removing the earth
carefully, so as not to injure the growth of
the plant.
