EATING FRUIT.

The American Agreculturist says
We hardly know how to account for
the popular impression that still pre-
walls IN many rural districts, that the
free use of fruit is unfrendly to health.
1t has much to do with the scarcity of
fruit gardens and orchards in the
country. As a matter of fact, cities
and villages are much better supplied
with fruit the year round than the sur
rounding country. There are hum
dreds of farms, even in the oldest
parts of the land, where there is no OF.
chard and the only fruit is gathered
from Seeding apple trees grown in the
fence corners. The wants Of cities
are supplied not so much from the
proper farmer districts as from a few
men in their suburbs, who make
business of growing fruit for market.
| The farmers who raise a good variety
of small iruit for the supply of their
own families, are still the exception.
The villager, with his quarter or half
acre lot. will have his patch of straw
berries, his row of currants and rasp-
berries, his grape vines and pear trees,
and talk intelligently Of the varieties
of these fruits. His table is well sup
piled with these luxuries for at least
half year, but there is a lamentable
dearth of good fruit upon the farm
from the want of conviction that it
pays. 1t does pay in personal COM
fort and health, if nothing else. The
medical faculty will bear testimony to-
the good influence of ripe fruit upon
the animal economy. They regulate
the system better than anything else,
and forestall many of the diseases to
which we are liable in the summer and
fall. A quaint old gentleman Of our
acquaintance often remarks that ap-
Piles are the only pills he takes. He
takes these every day in the year when
they can be found in the market, and
fills up the interval between the old
and new crop with other fruits. He
has hardly seen sick day in forty
years, and pays no doctors bill. We
want more good fruit, especially upon
our farms, and the habit of eating
fruit at our meals. This is just one
of the matters in which farmers wives
can exert an influence. Many a good
man would set out frlit trees and
bushes if he were only reminded of it
at the right time. One right time will
be this autumn-at least in all but
the very coolest part of the country.
A few dollars invested then will bring
abundant returns in from one to five
years.
1t is more intimately connected with
good morals than our philosophers
think. With good digestion it is quite
easy to fulfill the law of love.

A COMMENTED FARMER.

Once upon a time, Frederick, King
of Prussia, summoned "Old Fritz"
took ride, and espied an old farmer
blowing his acre by the wayside, and
cheerily sing his melody.
"You are we'll eoff, old man." said
the king. "Does the acre belong to
you, on which you so industriously Ia
Dor ?"
"No SIR" replied the old farmer,
who knew not that it was the king;
"I am not so rich as that; plow by
the day for wages"
"How much do you get?" asked the
king.
Eight grochen (about twenty cents)
day." said the farmer.
"That is not much," said the king,
"can you get along with thisp'
"Get along and have something to
spare"
"How is that?"
The farmer smiled and said
"Well, if i must tell you, two gro-
chen are for myself and wife; with
two pay my old debts, two l lend
away, and.two give away for the
Lords sake"
This is a mystery which l cannot
solve," replied the king.
"Then | will solve it for you" said
the farmer. II have two old parents
at home who kept me when was
weak and needed help; and now that
they are weak and need help, | keep
them. This my debt toward which ]
pay two grochen a day. The third
pair Of grochen, which lend away.
spend for my children, that they may
receive Christisr instruction. This
will come handy to my wife and me
when we get old. With the last two
grochen | maintain two sick sisters,
whom would not be compelled to
keep; this / give for the Lords sake. y
The king, well pleased with his an
swer said
"Bravely spOken, old man. Now |
will give you something to guess.
Have you ever seen me before2"
Never" said the farmer.
an less than FIVE minutes you shall
see me fifty times, and carry in your
pocket fifty of my likenesses."
"fhis is a riddle which cannot un.
ravel," said the farmer.
"Then / will do it for you," replied
the king.
Thrusting his hand into his pocket,
and counting him fifty brand-new
gold pieces into his hand, stamped
with his royal likeness, he said to the
astonishe1 farmer. who knew not what
was coming "The coin is genuine, for
it also comes from our Lord God, and
am his paymaster. l bid you
adieu."
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1875-09-22

in so doing, his foot caught in the stir
rup, and he was dragged helplessly
over the hard road. Fortunately for
the the poor victim of this mishap, the
distance was not great, or the result
might have been far more serious.
How often is it that the meFest tri-
fling accident contributes N the ends
of justice Villains may successfully
carry on their work for years, and in
their fancied security forget the fate
that must eventually overtake them
a slip, an accident, and the law claims
her own.
Gilbert FASTENED to secure his horse,
and the insensible form of Curly Bill
was agairf carried into the store, where
an examination revealed a broken
head and fractured leg, which would
detan their prisoner as ehectually as
shackle and chain.
In few days the sheriff came up
frorn St. Joseph, and took charge OF
the manned man, and through his con-
fession, many of his gang of des2era-
does we're taken or killed, and the
country freed of their presence.
Charley Gilbert received his we'll
earned reward, and the money enabled
him to complete his house handsomely
and stock the farm, over which Sarah
Gilbert presides as mistress.

A CLERKS STORY.

"When used to tend store the old
man came around one day, and ssays
he, BOYS, the one who sells the moet
between now and Christmas gets a
vest pattern for a present. Maybe
we did not work for that vest pattern.
i tell you there was some tall stories
told in praise of goods, about that
time; but the tallest talker and the
one who had the most cheek Of any
of us, was a certain Jonah Guires, who
roomed with me. He could talk q
dollar out of mans pocket when the
man only intended to spend six
pence, and the women-Lord bless
you-they just handed over their
pocket books to him and let him lay
out what he liked for them. One
night Jonah woke me up with, by
Jove, old fellow, if you think that
ere's got cotton in it I'll bring down
the sheep it was cut from, and make
him own his wool. 'Twont wear out
either; wore pair of pants of that
stuff for FIVE years, and they are as
good now as the day l first put them
on. Take it at thirty cents and I'll
say you didn't owe me anything. Eth
too dear? Well, call it twenty eight
cents. What dye say? All right. It's
bargain l could feel Jonah's hand
playing about the bed clothes for an
instant; then rip, tear, went some
thing or another, and hid my head
under the blankets, perfectly convuls-
ed with laughter, and perfectly sure
that Jonah had torn the best sheet
from top to bottom. When l awoke
next morning, found my night shirt
split from the bottom to the collar
band.

try that in those districts where the
use Of oatmeal Gin place of wheaton
