An ENLIGHTENED FLOCK.-It is related Of a
worthy divine, whose field of labors was situated
not many hundred miles from Salem, that he
preached politics to his congregation for such a
length of time that even the oldest church MEN,
beers forgot all about the gospel, and fell into a
profound ignorance with regard to creeds, forms
of worship, and church regulations. After the
clergyman's death, the elders went to consult q
celebrated divine about obtaining successor.
"What is your creedi" asked the divine.
"Our creedi"
"Yes-your principles-what are theyf"
"Oh, We are all Democrats, but two!"
81 mean, what is your platform-your church ~
"0hp' exclaimed one, "that is principally oak. !"

WORTH TELLING AGAIN.-When Nicholas Bid
dle-familiarly called Nick Biddle-was connect
ed with the United States Bank, there was an old
negro named Harry, who used TO he loafiDg around
the premises. One day, in a social mood, Biddle
said to the darkey:
"Well, what is your name. nav old fiendf"
"Hary, sir; ole Harry, sir" said the other,
touching his sleepy hat
"Old Harry" said Biddle; "why, that is the
name that they give to the devil, is it mott"
ayes, sir" said the colored gentleman; "some-
times Gle Harry, and sometimes ole Nick

To FIX CARPETS on FLOORs.-The labor that
housekeepers have every Spring and FALL of ia
king out and putting in tacks when they raise
their carpets for busting, should have suggested
q much more convenient and simple plan for cf
fecting the job. In some places small iron rings
are fastened into the floor. The edges of the car
pet, or the binding, have hooks sewed OF other
wise fastened in, and the rings serve as eyes to
these hooks. All the labor required in taking
carpets mp, or putting them down, is to hitch
these hooks to the rings or unhitch them. There
is no noise Of bammering, no nails required, and
the job is a work of hut few minutes The
stage carpets in the theatre are laid pretty much
in the same manner

To REMOVE Foul AIR FROM WELIs.-It is well
known that many -na>idents occur to persons
going down into wells to clean them, owing to
the noxious gas in such places. To remove the
gas before descent is made into any we'll, qnan-
fifty of burned but unslacked lime should be
thrown down. This, when it comes in contact
with whatever water is below, sets free a great
amonnt Of heat in the water and lime, which
rnshes upward, carrying al the deleterious gases
with it; after which descent may be made with
perfect safety. The lime also absorbs carbonic
acid in the we'll,

GRAPE MnDEw PREvENTEp.-A gentleman
who has visited the experiment grounds at
Washington, informs us that some experiments
for preventing the mildew of the grape, by cree
ting cheap roof over them, seemed TO answer
the purpose perfectly. The ROOF, he states, may
he simply board sixteen inches wide, nailed to
the post. On a hundred varities treated in this
way, not any mildew was seen; while all the
same yard were entirely ruined. Further ex-
periments are necessary.-C0xsfry Gentleman.

II mir Cutting.

We have always Thought that it is vicious
habit to let the hair accumulate the heads OF
children. The Testimony Of an eminent French
physician, NJ. Frederique, proves that injudicions
parents in seeking to embellish the outward
forms of their little Ones often unconsciously sap
their strength. The following is an apt case in
point:
little girl, aged three years of good health in
general, had her hair grow excessively long dr-
ring the course of few months. She was a
beautiful child, but had latterly wasted without
any apparent cause, becoming dull and apathe
tie, losing her appetite and strength, without
any organic lesion being observable. She was
placed upon tonic regimen, with chalybeates,
but without deriving material benefit, until her
hair was cut short, at the suggestion Of friend,
from which time she rapidly gained strength.
1t wond appear from this case that the econ
omy had suffered loss in the expenditure Of
blood necessary for the secretions of an abundant
crop of hair. NJ. Frederique considers that it is
formation Of the coloring matter which chiefly
exhausts the blood, as this is formed at the ex-
peise of the hGmatosine. -r
