The Wit OF . witty Man.

The late Isaac o. Barnes has been the
subject Of many good stories, n Of which
mas not yet found its way into print. He
had been invited to attend the funeral OF
a particular friend and crony, and as the
deceased had at their last interview, spec
tally. urged his being present, he felt in
duty bound to respond. Arriving at the
house Of mourning, he found the family
assembled in a very small and uncomfor-
table room in the middle of which stood
the coffin, that all might take alast look
at the departed. The service was conduc-
ted by two clergymen, friends Of the fam
lily, who with their long prayers and ex-
tended remarks, consumed fullyltwo
hours, during which Mr.. Barnec suffered
untold agony ofsuspense and lmpatience.
Hardly had the second minister p%ronouhc-
the amen when Barnes, in his well
kDOwn 'squeaky voice, turning TO the
person sittipglnearest to him, said
3 sDidyou know Kid?"

look IN that direction.

De. TuGGs Pills are composed of many in

a desideratamlon sought for by medical men,
but never before discovered In other words, they
do the work of two medicines and do il much
better than any two We know of for they remove
nothing from the system but Impurities, so that
while they purge they also strengthen and hence
they cause no debility and are followed by no
reaction. .--~ t--
Dr. TuGt's pills han "a wonderful influence
on the blood. Tney not only purify witout weak

from the chyle before it is converted intoto nuid

nausea or sickness attending the operation OF
this most excellent medicine, which never

Rolling the Ground.

On dry or wet ground the effect of the
roller is found to be salutary. Plowed and
prepared for sowing, dry land is much helped
by the roller The blades of grass spring
up sooner and retain frmer hold in the
earth. In season of drought, rolling has
saved the crop, when without it the seed
would have never sprung from the ground,
In wet aud heavy ground it is believed the
roller, smoothing and hardening the sur
face, will leave the soil Immediately be.
meath the surface in better condition to
generate the seed. On grass ground that
has been heaved by the frost, the roller has
an excellent effect Ia fixing the roots. Roll
ing the ground is also good when the land
has been laid down unevenly the previous
year. If the land is too dry, wait till Just
after soaking rain, and it will work capt.

sowed ground before narrowing, as it
presses down the burrows that would be
turned back, and makes the surface less un.
