PRAYED HIM OUT.

The shutters are up at the windows; the bolt II
turned now in the door
OF the groggery on the corner that few have seen
closed before;
Fer the women came from their dwellings and
gathered the shop about,
And Tom slid out at the back-door, for the women
soon prayed him out.
We've arrested that fellow, and fined him, more
times than I've fingers and toes,
But we never could stop for q moment his foun-
tain of human woes;
With the money he made on his whisky he could
well afford to pay;
But he didn't know how to meet the foe that came
to his bar to pray.
We've tried on him moral suasien we've pictured
the ruin wrought
In the peaceful homes of our village but our Ia
Dor has been for naught;
Somebody will sell if don't, " was his time-worn
rock of defense
Against our strongest argument-our vollsys Of
common sense.
Tom Murphy could stand the pressure when one
To pray and weep in his bar-roo INTO plead with
his heart Of stone
But when they came down in battalions and knelt
The shutters went up at the windows-th- key
turned the bolt in the door.
Tom Murphy has bribed our judges-has bought
all our juries, too;
Our single prayers and entreatiee he stubbornly
waded through;
But the giant Of Castle Ruin has fed from his world
away,
For he couldn't buy of the women who knelt on his
floor to pray.
Don't bubble about who did it 1; enough that the
work ia done;
And mothers shall seek at Nurphy's more for q
ruined son;
The lawyers, and moral suasion, may be able some
foes to rout,
But give me the praying women who prayed Tom
Murphy out.

especially if much pointed at the small
end, almost always breed birds with
some awkwardness in style or carriage.
Neither should rough, small eggs be
chosen, for they usually show some de-
rangement of the organs and are often
sterile. Smoo'h-shelled eggs alone are
proper for Matching. 1t is farce to
suppose that the sex of bird can be
determined by the shape of the egg.
To KEEP HAMS IN SUMMER.-The
Germantown Telegraph says: There
are a number of modes given to keep
hams through the warm season free
from the attacks of insects. Some bag
them and whitewash the bags, which is
troublesome and somewhat expensive
some cover them with dry wood-ashes
and pack them In barrels some pack
them in barrels and cover thoroughly
with pine-shavings but we think the
best plan of all, and certainly the least
expensive with all who have smoke
house-and every farmer should have a
good one-is to keep the hams hung up
in the smoke-house which should be
KEEP. perfectly dark at all times. We
have eaten hams so kept two years old,
and they were among the very best we
ever tasted. Uniform darkness is
complete protection against the attack
of insects.
PoTATo- GROWING Massachusetts,
farmer writes: To prepare for crop
of potatoes, turn over in July piece
of greensward, after taking off crop
of hay. Then apply liberal dressing
of barnyard manure, which is worked
thoroughly into the soil by pair of
horses and Shares harrow. After
getting it fine, mellow and smooth, SOW
to Hungarian grass, which yields two or
more tons of good fodder per acre. The
next spring, after applying about five
cords of strong barn-cellar manure
made from cattle which are literally
ted on good hay and grain, the land is
again plowed, cross-plowed and har-
rowed till it is In the very best con-
dition for growing a crop of potatoes,
the old sward being now entirely rot
ten.
How TO MAKE Coop COFFEE.-I have
travelled some. And it is seldom that l
find coffee fit to drink, especially at the
hotels. 1t comes to us pretty near
cold, often full of coffee grounds of a
dirty, black color; very often it is not
deserving the name of coffee All the
cream and sugar you can put in it does
not make it palatable. 1t is no more
trouble to make good coffee than poor
First wash the coffee clean, then dry it,
then brown it-not burn it. The hop
per-ful of our common coffee-mills is
about enough for eight or ten persons,
according to the strength the persons
want.
Put the ground coffee in bowl or
the coffee-boiler, add half an egg, then
pour on just enough cold water to wet
the coffee by being we'll stirred then
pour on enough boiling water to suit
the strength wanted, boil from FIVE to
ten minutes, set off the fire and add
about half gill of cold water let stand
one minute to settle and pour off in an
other coffee-pot. Now serve then you
will have coffee of light amber color,
without grounds, fit for any one to
drink.

ANILINE CoLoRs.-Prof. Kopp, who
had recently made careful study of the
aniline colors at the Vienna Exposition,
says that the manufacture of these pig
ments from coal tar products is making
most remarkable progress. Fuchsin,
constituted by salt of rosaniline, is
obtained exclusively by the reaction of
arsenic acid on commercial aniline. In
order to afford an idea of the enormous
consumption of this violent poison in
the manufacture of fuchsin, il is stated
that in Germany alone the same is es-
timated at $500, 600 pounds year. 1t
is only lately that the residues have
been treated to regain the arsenic in
commercial form. M. Kopp mentions,
as a novelty, a beautiful rose red color
ing matter called saffronine, which upon
silk, is very brilliant dye.

An individual aged about 80 years,
whose name it is not worth while to
mention mistook lady on School
street yesterday evening for an ac-
quaintance of his, and followed her into
the Parker House. Not succeeding in
attracting her attention, and spying a
pocket handkerchief protruding from
her pocket, he approached her careless
ly, and drew the fabric from her pocket
and passed out of the parlor. This was
observed by the lady and gentleman in
her company, and the joker, not being
recognized by the lady, was regarded
as pickpocket, and then and there de-
tanned until an officer was brought in.
The joker told his story and looked
cheap was taken to the Second Sta
ton, where he told his story and looked
cheaper. The handkerchief was re-
stored, and, as no one cared to prose
cute, the joker went home.-Boston

SoNs AND DAUGHTERS. -Confde in
your parents. Make them above all
others, your confdants. They are the
best and most disinterested friends you
will ever have In this world. It is natu-
raj for you to think they do not and can
not, from the position of things, know
much, at least very much, about your
affairs, and that therefore you cannot
talk confdentially with them. Do not,
however, yield to any such impression.
Cultivate rather the habit of consulta-
ton with them. On things great and
small seek their advice. A daughter
will never come to shame, son never
to dishonor, that does so.

An old farmer employed Sen of Erin
to work for him on his farm. Pat was
constantly misplacing the endboards in
the cart-the front board behind, and
the tail board in front, which made the
old gentleman very irritable. To pre-
vent it, he painted on both boards a
large "B;" then calling Pat to him,
and showing him the boards, said !:
Now, you blockhead, you need make
no mistake, as they are now both
marked. This pointing to one board)
is ''B T" for before, and that, indicating
the tail board, is "B" for behind,

Home.

We assert, as rule, the whole tone
of home depends upon the woman at
the head of 1.-THE average home; not
the poverty-stricken home, nor the
wealthy home. In this average home,
whether sunshine shall enter the rooms,
whether the table shall be invitingly
spread, whether bright lights and bright
fires shall give warmth and cheer on
winter nights-whether In brief, the
home shall be an agreeable or disa-
greeable place, is usually what the w.
man determines. Men are powerless In
the matter. Some find solace for dis
NAL home in study, some occupation in
business; some submit with what pa
thence they can others are attracted
by the cheer of the public house and it
is especially young men who are apt, in
consequence, to drift into bad company
and bad habits. There are men-and
men. Our whole argument refers to in
dividuals among men who succumb to
bad infiuences-not the sex, but class.

FINAL APPEAL.
In conclusion, would appeal to all of you,
as good citizens, as honest, intelligent men,
to join in the great and important work be-
fore us Until it is accomplished we shall
have babel of confusion, injuriously affect
ing our prosperity as individuals and as ma
ton. Our finances are now only disturbed by
the state of uncertainty at present existing.
Capital, which is sensitive, and yet which al
WAYS desires employment if it is assuredly safe,
is being boarded in the East and in Europe
where the surplus has accumulated. While
portions of it may have been the result of
questionable transactions, by far the larger is
and personal enterprise. No one here would
justify the taking forcible possession.
Let us, now that the work is so well COM
menced press it vigorously forward to the
end. When the people comprehend and ac-
cept their responsibilities when they have
learned that good government Is prerequisite
to national and individual prosperity when
they shall understand that the filling of cou,l-
ty and municipal offices involves greater
responsibility than the election of President
or Congressman, as affordlng protection
against corruption, then may we rest secure
in the perpetuity of Republican Government
then shall we enjoy freedom never before
experienced then will prosperity abound IN
all of the land. We shall have more money
and better money. Official corruption, mo-
nopoly expressions, ring comblna-ions ano
demagoguery will be known only as OF the
past. The people Of our whole country ma,
dwell together in unity and harmony. Sec.
tional pickering will give place to common
sense CONCESSIONS and the people OF thu
United States, representing every nationalit,
under the sun, will press onward and upwart
to more complete development OF progressive
American civilization.

BE- The Chattanooga Times
understands that the Southern
Security Company turned over
the Memphis and Charleston
railroad to the directors Of the
old company March 3lst, and
that the directors agreed TO re-
lieve the Southern Security
Company from the payment of
the $4,000 due for rent Of the
road, inasmuch as they saw no
prospect Of ever being a6le to
recover it. The road will here
after be managed by the old
company. A gentleman con-
nected with the road has the
authority Of the chief engineer
for the opinion that the change
here recorded will hasten the eX-
tension of the Winchester and
Alabama railroad, according to
the terms of the contract, to
Fearn's Switch. The work, he
thinks, will begin soon after the
weather settles.
