A Peddler's Night Ride.

A peddler named Jonas Marburger has
for many years tramped over various sec
tions of this and neighboring counties sell
ing his wares, and by q consistent course
large number of acquaintance. On Tues
day afternoon, about five o'clock, the
peddler opened his pack in the kitchen of a
man named Esbestaub, in Albany town
ship. The farmers wife purchased what
che desired, and the peddler, according to
to remain to supper, which he did, and
subsequently determined to stay all night.
The farmer owns quite nice tract of land /,
and during the evening much of the con
versation conferred upon matters pertaining
to farming. AT about nine o'clock the
peddler was shown to large garrett under
the roof, where he was to sleep. The
family retired and nothing unusual occurred
until some time near midnight, when the
farmer was awakened by the barking of
watch dogs and the tramping of a horses
ho"fs. He arose and looked out of the
window towards the barn, when an extra
ordinary sight met his gaze. The dogs
were in an adjoining field, aud, strange to
say, there appeared to be a ghost riding
about on one of the farmers young horses
The farmer called the hired man, and on
going to the garrett with the lantern they
found the he'd which had been occupied
empty, and the peddler gone, but his

had evidently placed them. The farmer
and hired man went down stairs, and found
that all the doors were locked as they were
before they retired. Going out they found
the horse still on full gallop under the
direction of his mysterious rider. The
hired man watched his chance, caught the
animal and upon closer examination found
that the rider was the peddler, who sat
there like a statue and was in a complete
state of somnambulsm. He had on only
his underclothes, and notwithstanding the
GOODNESS of the night he was perspiring
freely when lifted down: They could not
waken him properly until he was led into
the house, and when he came to his senses
he seemed to know nothing of what bad
occurred. He seemed startled at being out
of bed and down stairs in such apparel.
Subsequent examination showed that the
man, in his strange state, had worked his
way out of trap door to the roof and
thence down to root of back building
and thence to the ground.-Reading (Pa.)

PLEASURE FOR A CuILD.--Blessed be the
hand that prepares pleasure for "a child,
for there is saying when and where it
may again bloom forth. Does not almost
every body remember some kind hearted
man who showed him a kindness in the
days of his childh"odP The writer of this
recollects himself at this moment as n
barefooted lad, standing at the wooden
fence of poor little garden in his native
village, where with longing eyes, he gazed
on the flowers which were blooming there
quietly in the brightness Of Sunday
morning. The possessor came forth from
his little cottage he was a woodcutter by
trade, and spent the whole day at work in
the woods. He had come into the garden
to gather flowers tn stick in his coat when
he went tn clutch. He saw the hoy, and
breaking off the most beautiful of his car
nations, which was streaked with red and
white. he gave it To him. Neither the
giver the receiver spoke word, apd
with bounding steps the boy ran home !;
and now, hero at distance from that
home, after so many events of so many
years, the feeling of gratitude which
agitated the breast of that boy expresses
itself on paper. The carnation has since
withered, but it now blooms afresh.

but his pastor insisted that as a Mason he
prayed with Jew, was in his Order the
equal of Mai,ommedan, and therefore
could not address his duplication to a
Triune God. The dispute growing warm,
a compromise was effected by the admission
of Mr.. Wredin to communion on the ground
of his ignorance that there was any wrong
in Masonry. This did not do. The con-
gregation held a meeting, and decided that
a minister mast administer the sacrament

ence to society connections and SO hangs
the tale.-Baltimore Mirror.

CONFUSION produced by hearty laughter
shaking the central man. The blood moves

organs of the body, as it visits them on that
particular mystic journey, when the man is
laughing, from what it does at other times.
And thus it is that good laugh lengthens
a mans life by conveying distinct and

The farmers' vindicator., 1875-04-30

"How shall l grow my plants COM
pact and symmetrical in form?" is a
question frequently asked by amateur
florists. 1t is simple matter, and
is accomplished by judicious pruning
and cutting. In nearly all kinds Of
Towering plants excepting those grown
from bulbs, also in trees and shrubs,
buds are formed at the axis of the
leaves along the stem or branches,
while the growth proceeds from its ter
mination. This, in perennials if not
checked continues to grow, and usually
causes tall or unshapely form, but
by cutting off at any point, or pinch
ing out the terminal buds, new shoots
start out at the leaf joints below the
cut, or if already started, commence to
grow with increased vigor, and will in
due time, result in a better shaped Or
more bushy plant or branch. Pruning
or pinching should be more generally
resorted to than it is, for, by observing
the principle Of growth just allud-
ed to, and varying the pruning
to the habit Of the kind, it is just
as easy to have your plants, either in
the house, conservatory or garden, Of
fine form, as to have them otherwise,
and they are so much more rewarding
and agreeable to work among. Little
danger exists of cutting away too
much persons who resort to pruning
frequently err in cutting too little.
Old plants with long leafless branches
may be entirely re-shaped by severe
pruning. The Home Florist.

Planters read these reports attentive

of the land that has been planted in
