claimed his excellency, rising from his
seat and extending his arms, "Yohan-
mis- GirOs, behold in me your friend in
bOyhOod, Ibrahim the tobacco seller"
The two embraced and kissed each
other; tears flowed freely. Yohannis
was almost crazed by the mental reac-
ton. He sobbed and cried like child.
The great heart of the Grand ViZier
was filled with gladness. As soon as
the emotion awakened by this exciting
scene could be controlled Ibrahim said
to YOhannis:
'Now you are appointed to a respOn
sible post ; you will benny sarOf( (banker.)
You will at once receive your outfit of
dress. When properly attired go hence
with the attendants Of my staff to your
home and tell the good news to your
wife and children. The horse and equi-
page suitable to your rank are ready
for you. You will at once be provided
with all the. means required to place
your. family in a position becoming the
these duties to your family first of all !;
close up your little business, and then
report to me for duty. YOhannis and
Ibrahim are reunited; the pledge of
boyhoOd is fulfilled. Great is the Lord
God, and MOhomet is his prophet" ,:
YOhannis was then arrayed in the
glittering uniform of his rank; a beau
tiful Arabian charger handsomely
caparisoned was furnished him, and
with personal servants and a guard of
honor he rode rapidly to his humble
dwelling at StambOul, having been alb
sent little more than two hours. The
family could scarcely credit their own
senses when YOhannis reappeared so
wonderfully changed externally, and
with his retinue of attendants. They
were overcome with joy. The scene
can be better imagined than described.
From that day forth they enjoyed hap
piness and prosperity.
Ibrahim's course had been this: From
the humble position of tchibOukgl (O1
pipe-bearer) to the Pasha of Bagdad
he was successively promoted to be
| clerk, secretary, and Keyha Bey; then
as Pasha, subsequently, as Pasha OF
Bagdad, succeeding his former master;
then as Pasha of AleppO, and finally, IN
successful administration of affairs, he
was appointed by the Sultan as Grand
Vizier of the Turkish Empire.
And this" said the old gentleman
to my friend at Bebek, lis the true
story about my father, which promised
to tell you, and which, 1 think, presents

A CRED1rABLE CORN CRoP.-Mr. w.
NJ. Large, near Newton, Bucks county,
Penn, raised last year on one acre 1O4
bushels and thirty quarts of shelled
coin. He recently detailed his treat
ment of the crops at meeting of the
the Bucks county agricultural society,
reported in Bucks county IntelEgencer,
and to those desiring to do likewise the
particulars may be Of service. The
land was o timothy sod, sandy loan,
moved twice since being in wheat, and
lined for wheat. MANFRED the wheat
after sowing at intervals, during the
winter following, up to March, when
there was a heavy coat upon it-but he
omits to state how much, which is a
chronic weakness of most farmers.
Began blowing May 1st; depth five in
ches; was careful not to turn up any
subsOil. Every evening he rolled the
land plowed during the day. Next he
pulverized thoroughly with a Kelsey
harrow marked out one way, four feet
apart; planted one grain every fifteen
or eighteen inches; planted May 8th
and 9th. After spr0uting cultivated
once, then plowed from the row with a
Phifer ploW; cultivated again, then
plowed once more, reversing the furrOw
and cultivated next q third time, and
leveled the two burrows made by the
plow. Went over the field twice after
that to hoe and weed by hand. Had
seventy three shocks on the acre, measu
red. Yield of whole field sixe mo-
stated over one hundred bushels PEI
acre. As an additional experiment h,
planted twenty rows at one end of tht
field in hills, four feet each way, Will
four stalks per hill, fertilizing with hel
manure and asbe1. Results more ear
by count, but less grain in measur
than where planted in drills withOu
manure in hill, as detailed above diffe
renee about three quarts per shock
which evidently was nearly seven bush
els per acre.

How a Married MAN SeWS ON
Buttons
From the DanburY News.

Itis bad enough to see a bachelor sew
on a button, but he is the embodiment
of grace along side Of q married man.
Necessity has compelled experience in
the case of the former but the latter has
always depended upon some one else
for this service, ard unfortunately for
the sake of society, it is rarely he is
obliged to resort to the needle himself.
Sometimes the patient wife scalds her
right hand, or runs silver under the
nail of the index finger, on that hand,
and it is then that the man clutches the
needle arol nd the neck, and forgetting
to tie knot in the thread, commences
to put on the button. It is always in
the morning, and from five to twenty
minutes aftU, he is expected to be down
in the street. He lays the button exact
ly on the site of it's predecessor and
pushes the needle through one eye, and
carefully draws the thread after, leav-
ing about three inches of it sticking up
for the lee way. He says to himself:
"Well, if women don't have the
easiest time I ever see."
Then he comes back the other way,
and gets the needle through the cloth
well enough, and lays himself out to
fird the eye, but, in spite OF a great
point persists in bucking against the
solid part of that button, and finally
when he loses patience, his finger
catches the thread, and that three inches
he had left to hold the button slips
through the eye in q twinkling, and the
button rolls leisurely across the floor.
He picks it up without a sing le remark
out of respect for his children, and
makes another attempt to fasten it.
This time, when coming back with the
needle he keeps both the thread and the
button from slipping by covering them
| with his thumb, and it is out of that
part of him that he feels around fol
the eye in very careful and judicious
manner, but eventually losing his phi
| lOrOphy as the search becomes more and
more hopeless, he falls to jabbering
about in a loose and savage manner
and it is Just then the needle finds the
opening, and comes up through the
button and part way through his th mt
with a celebrity that no human ingenui-
| ty can guard against. Then he lays
down the things, and presses the inju
red hand between his knees, and then
holds it up under his AIN, and finally

PLANT TREEs.-A convention of
prominent men interested in agricultu-
raj matters was held last month at Free
port, Illinois; and one subject which
engaged especial attention is worthy of
being commended to the whole country.
This is the importance of treeplanting.
Our forests and groves as was fOrcibly
urged by the president of this conyen-
tion, are rapidly disappearing; and in
a very few years, unless Immediate
measures are taken to prevent it, sup
ply o? timber will be exhausted. Trees
0 light to be planted not only for fuel
and shelter on the t1ee1ess prairies, but
To- the production Of timber, which is
every year becoming more and more
in demand for great variety Of pur-
poses, such as building, fencing, ma
chinery, telegraph poles and railroad
ties.
The number of railroad ties required
every year is very great in Illinois alone,
over 5000 miles of railroad have been
built, and this requires the laying OF
sixteen millions ties. One-eighth of
these, or two millions must be replaced
every year at q cost of over million OF
t dollars, and this is only one State of a
co1ntry covered by railroads and adding
at the rate of thousands of miles every
year.
Unless trees are planted upon large
scale, the demand will ssOOn Outrun the
supply of native wood, and We shall be
obliged to import, as in England and in
some continental countries they now
import wood from Norway, Sweden
and other remote and unpeopled
localities. He who plants tree is a
public benefactor, but he who plants a
forest lays the foundation Of q fortune
for his descendants. Western farmers
cannot begin this good work too SOON
