After the Funeral.

OF all the returninss, that one "aiter
the funeral is the saddess. Who riifcay
it is not 80, who has followed a beloved
one to the grave? While he was sick We
went in and out anxious, sorrowipg. suf-
ferins TIE solitude to relieve. and care
for, and comfort him; engrossed us; the
apprehension of our own desoiation, IN
case he should be removed from us.almoss
drove us wild.
While he lay dead under the home roof
there was a hurry and hustle in preparss
ton for the final rites. Friends are sent
for. neighbors are present, the fnrerafsr-
rangements are discussed, the nournroe
procured. the Inequalities Of the house
provided for; all is excitement; the loss rs
not yet perceived in all It's greatness.
But latter the fnnerel-aftef Che bus
tie has subsidized and things begin TO move
on as usual, then IL is we begin 10 know
what has befallen us. Tire house seems
still and sepulchrsl though in the heart
Of the city; and though its threshold be
trodden by friendly feet, 1t is as il empty.
The apartments, how deserted especially
the room where he struggled and surren-
dered in the last conflict. There are hrs
clothes, there are his books, there his hat
and cane, there his ever vacant seat at the
family board. During his sickness We
had not so much noticed these things, for
we hoped ever that he might use or occu-
by them again. But now We know u esn
never be, and we perceive the dreadful va
Guilty everywhere.
Oh, how dark and cherries the night
shadows come down after the funeral. No
moon or stars ever sbone so dimly; no
darkness ever seemed so utterly dark.
The tickiugs of the clock resound like
bell strokes all over the house. No foot
step now on the stairs or overheard in the
sick chamber; no nurse or watchers come
and say, she is not 80 well and asks for
you" No indeed; you may "sleep on now
and take your rest" If you can All, poor
hearth 1t will not he long before the
sweet rest you once knew will revisit your
couch. Slunber will bring again the
scenes through which you have just passed
and you will start from it but find them

A Inkc That Kicked Rack.

They are telling joke, writes ELI Per-

ley tells it on himself, too. 1t seems
Charley drove up through Stamford.
Conn, yesterday. with Lem Read, of poor
dead Dan Brysnt's Minstrels, for a CONF
panion. As the train got ready TO leave,
Charley says:
Lem, let me show you good joke
I'll get a SPLENDID joke on that old duffer
sitting in the station. Now you watch !"
Then, as the train began to move out
slowly, Charley rushed into the station,
shook his fists in the stranger's face, and
called him miserable, mean. thieving
scoundrel.

got you at last, you bloody old scapegrace.
and now I'll lick you to an inch of your
life. L"

train is off-run = aud Charley left his as

car.
"Wherel where!! is the man who

door of the station with his spectacles il
one hand and crumpled Tribune in the
other. "Where is he-show him to me =

A Chinese Fable.

A priest, seeing piece Of old paper on
the ground. told bis pupil to pick it up,
which he did Immediately.
What is it p asked the priest
1T is" said the pupil, "what once en-
veloped some perfume, has been thrown
away. but yet retains the odor."
Going further, the priest saw a piece OF
string upon the grou ID again told
the pupil to pick it up
"What string is itY' he asked.
The pupil said: st has strong smell
Of fish once tied with it,"
"In the beginning" said the priest,
imam was pure and without blemish, but
by frequent contact with others, he has
brought himself happiness or punishment
If one keeps the company ofwise and good
people, he becomes wise and good; but il
he contracts friendship with foolish and
wicked people, misfortune and punisments
overcome him. As with this paper it con.
tinues to be fragrant from having once en-
veloped perfume; as the string has become
sinking, having once touched the fish.
In our intercourse with men, insensibly
we contract good and bad habits from
them"

A Georgss Ffyins Machine.


We Mad a CALI on Thursday from Mr..
Micajah Dyer,o Of Unioh county. who has
recently obtained patent for an appa-
ratus for navigating the air. The ma
chine is certainly most ingenious one,
containing principles entirely new to
eronauts, and which tine pateitee conf
IDENTIFY believes have solved Che knotty
problem or air navigation. The body Of
the machine m shape resembles that Of
the fowl-an eagle. for instance-and is
intended to be propelled by different kinds
ofdevicesi to-wit: Wings and Paddle-
wheels, both to be simultaneously operas
ted through the fundamentally Of mech-
aDishf connected with the diving power.
In operating the mschhety The Wings re-
ceive an upwsrf and downward motion.

their cutter ends yielding as they are
raised, but openin. out and then remain
ing rigid White being depressed. The
wings, il desired, may be set at an angle
so to propel forward as well as 70 raise
the machine in the air. The paddle
wheels are intended to be used for pro-
polling the machine in the same way that
a vessel is propelled on water. An fhstfu-
ment answering To rudder is attached
for guiding the machine. A balloon is to-
be used for elevating the flying ship
after which it is to be guided and con-
trolled at tire pleasure Of its occupants.

Imporfant to women.

Few women realize how much personal
attractiveness, fascination, that indescri>
bable power which draws all towards its
possessor, depends upon physical health.
The day is past, if ever it were here, in
deed, when women must be pale and DEL
icate to be interesting On the contrary,
to be interesting they must he fresh~look-
ing, and to be this they must be not only
healthy, but vigorous. 1t is, therefore, of
the highest importance that they know
how to preserve health and practice what
they know. Cleanliness is the first law of
health. We know woman who is 40,
who has taught since she was eighteen,
and now looks not more than thirty. A
sponge bath is her daily morning prescrip-
tion-better than all the medicines that
were ever manufactured or taken. After
a lukewarm bath and rapid and thor
ough drying with crash towel, the skin
becomes softer. more flexible and glossy,
and the tone Of the whole system is i'm
proved. Next to cleanliness in importance,
and greatly neglected, is exercise. Not
the slow, listless walk that our young
ladies and school misses and fashionable
danes call exercise, but hearty, honest
work or play Rapid walking, particu-
larly in agreeable society; riding upon
horseback. loose clothing and without the
addition Of late suppers and insufficient
wrapping in the cold air; croquet, battle
dore and shuttle-cock, dumb-bells and
even light gymnastics are all promo
tiers Of health. As proof Of this, wit
ness the rosy cheeks well-rounded limbs
and cheerful air of the 'girl," and COM
pare them with the pale face. jaded and
listless air, and general debility" of her
mistress.

Important to Tobacco Growers.
Muysville Bulletin.

Col. w. s. Rand, United States Com
missioner, at Vanceburg, has been polite
enough to send us the following commu-
nication received from the office of Inter-
nal Revenue. in response to an inquiry con-
corning the sale Of tobacco by producers.
1t will be read with interest:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
OFFICE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
WASHINGTON, June 7th, 1875.
SIR: have received your letter of the
Oath ult., in which you state that your
people are seriously oppressed by the law
forbidding tobacco growers from trading
and selling their own growth to neighbors
for common consumption. And asking
that will so modify this regulation as to
permitan exchange of product, if not abol-
ish the odious restriction on your farmers
who make tobacco growing specially.
In reply have to inform you that the
restriction placed upon the sale of raw or
leaf tobacco at retail directly to consul
mers is not matter of regulation which
can be modified by the Commissioner Of
Internal Revenue, or by the Secretary of
the Treasury, but it is restriction i'm
posed by an act of Congress, and can only
be modified or abolished by that body.
Every person who sells leaf tobacco d.
rectly to consumers, even though it may
be tobacco of his own production, is de-
clared by law to be a retail tobacco dealer
in leaf tobacco. and liable to pay a special
tax therefor Of S. 90 annually. The pro-
ducers of tobacco can sell to leaf dealers,
TO tobacco and cigar manufacturers, and
to persons purchasing for export without
mourning any liability, but he cannot sell
for direct consumption without paying a
special tax therefor. Yours truly,
D. D. PRATT, Commissioner.

A Story ora L,rhtp,us.Rod Man.

He drove his team up to the fence, got
down and ratified at the door. The wid>
ow Gilkins opened it, when he said;
"Mrs Gilkins, / am cognizant Of the cir
cumstances by which you are at present
surrounded, left as you are to trudge down
the journey Of life through a cold and
heartless world-no longer sustained and
encouraged by the noble one to whom
you gave the treasurers Of your hearts
affection, and bowed down by the mani
fold cares and responsibilities incidental
to the rearing of eight small children, on
forty acres of sub-carboniferous lime
stone land; yet Mrs Gilkins, You are
aware that the season issspproachiug
when dark, dismal, dangerous clouds at
frequent intervals span the canopy of
heaven; and when zigzag streaks Of cleo
tricity dart promiscuously hither and
thither, rendering this habitation unsafe
for yourself and those dear little ones
hence, therefore, let ME sell you a copper
wire, silyer-tipped and highly magnetic
lightning rod"
The woman staggered back a few pa
ces, and yelled: Marcos! unfasten old
Cronchl" In another instant savage
bulldog came darting round the corner
with bristles up, thirsting for gore. The
dog had already mansled machine agent
and patent soap man, and was held in
great esteem by the better class of citi>
zens for his courage and service; but
when bis eyes met the hard penetrating
gaze of Mr.. Parsons, his chops fell, and
he slinked off in the currant bushes.
Then the man said: my dear lady. you
seem to be a little excited. Now if you
will allow me to explain the inestima-
ble-"
"Dern ye. know something that will
start ye," said Mrs. Gilkins, as she
reached under some bed-clothing and
brought forth horse-p;stol. but, owning
10 shattered condition Of her nerves,
her aims was unsteady, and the charge
Of buckshot missed, save where few
scattered ones struck his cheek and
glanced off. A hard metallic smile
spread over his countenancc, as he leaned
his shoulder against the door frame, and
again commenced: my dear madam,
such spasmodic manifestations of your
disinclinations TO make a judicious in
vestment of a few paltry dollars"
"Hi-cop shrieked the widow, and
collapsed into kind of Jerking swoon,
and before she had recovered, q highly
magnetic lightning,rod decorated her
humble domicil, and Parsons had the
blank note filled out already for her sig
nature.

sat in the seat with him. His son took a
piece ofpaper and wrote thereon and hand
ed to his father request that they leave

outside, asked the cause Of the sudden re.
quest. The answer was that he This SOM
was going to die. Mr.. Brewer ridiculed
the idea, but proceeded home. After a
time following their arrival. the father
found the son engaged in prayer and was
again told by the latter that his end was
near. The son had soon to be moved to
a bed, aud the doctor was again sum-
moned. The latter on his arrival found
his patient with high pulse and much ex

hand was found in the same condition az

A houghtless young man from Massa-

county not long ago to start a paper, and
in order to tickle the fancy of the inhab>
itants, Of whose temper he was ignorant,
he published the following in his first is
sue; "The fighting editor is at home at
all hours of the day and night, ready,
willing and anxious to receive all visitors
who have grievances. He carries two re.
volvers, slung-shot, pair Of BRASS
knuckles. bowie-knife as long as a
cross-cut saw, a razor in each boot, an ell
skin, bludgeon, and bottle of poisonl'
Every man in Pottawattamie thought il
was a challenge, and all day long they
dropped in singly, in pairs, by threes, and
in squads and platoons. Every soul Of
them whipped the editor, and the last
man, who came in about p, m. had tc
sweep him up in the middle of the floor
and paste him together with putty, in or
der to get kick at him. The paper only
issued the initial number. -Burlngto,
