SPECIE PAYMENTS.

Rssekal found At last
Twas where break my fast
With my 6vorits repast
To0thsome hash;
In my change with scrip il mingled
And my ears with pleasure tingied,
As upon the counter jingled
Solid cash.
It recalled to mind that pack
OF traitors, their attack;
The North re-echoing back
Sumter's gun
All! the memories that cling
Like shadows round that Spring.
When the silver ceased to ring;
Sixtyone-
There our Government to-day
Typified In silver lay,
And to me it seemed to say:
Here am
MANY years I've lain entombed'
Now al hast / an exhumed-

The eagle looks as bold
As in the days Of old,
Ere the silver and the gold
Gan to rise
A stranger he TO fear,
with his olive branch and spear,
hail his advent here,
With surprise.
By the shield reclines the Queen,
While around Der may be seen
OF the glorious "Old Thirteen"
Every star;
Thanks TO those who made Us free,
On the land and on the sea;
Let us give them three times three:

CELERY AS A NERvINE.-A correspondent o.
the Practical Farmer says: 81 have known many
men and women too, who, from various causes
had become so much affected with nervousness
that when they stretched out their hands they
shook like aspen leaves on windy days. and by
daily moderate use of blanched foot stalks OF
the celery leaves salad, they became as
strong and steady in limbs other people.
have known others so very nervous that the
least annoyance put them in state of agitation,
who were in almost constant perplexity and fear,
and who were effectually cured BY daily mod
crate use of blanched celery as q salad at meal
times. have known others cured by using Gel
cry for palpitatiOn of the heart.

THE Paducah Neirs tells this story, for the
truth of which it vouches: "a professional gen.
tleman, well known in this city, had not seen bis
son for long period of time, owing to the fact
that the latter retired to bed ere the former re-
turned home, and in the morning the father al.
ways left before the son got out of bed. One
morning the lady of the house managed to get
the father and son together at the breakfast Ia
BILE, and by way Of joke remarked: Son, let me
introduce you to your father How do you do,
father said the hopeful; Il don't remember ev-
er having met you before, but have heard ma

strawberries take four ounces of white sugar
crush the strawberries with a silver spoon and
mix them well with the sugar. In four hours

of cream, stir till nearly cold, then add the
strawberries gradually, beating the two quickly

Few persons understand fully the reason why
wet clothes exert such chilling influence. 1t is
simply this: Water, when it evaporates, carries
off an enormous amount of heat in what is cal
led the latent form. One pound of water in va
por contains as much heat as nine or ten pounds
of liquid water and all this heat must, of course,
be taken from the body. If our clothes are
moistened with three pounds of water-that is,
if by wetting they are rendered three pounds
heavier, these three pounds will in drying, carry
off as much heat as would raise three gallons of
ice-cold water to the boiling point. No wonder
damp clothes chill us.

A SOCIAL PHILOSOPHICAL large man, who
sat on the wharf fishing, recently gave his opin
ion with regard to the bard times. He said the
trouble was that capital was opposed to labor,
and no matter how anxious a man was to work
capital would make no concessions. He wanted
work himself, he said, and once he thought of
giving up, but now his wife was able to take in
washing he would never yield. He intended to
say more, but he was obliged to 60 off to attend
q ball match.-Norlpich BalIetiR.

An exchange says experiments have been made
in packing green hay with entire success The
dew or rain is dried of, leaving the stalk still
green, but wilted. The hay is then pressed into
Bales and stored away. 1t will come out in Win

atively but little in weight. OF course this is an
Improvement upon the old method, as the juices
of the grass are retained.

IT is as easy to build stack of wheat as to
load wagon. While building the butt of the
stack, the heart must be kept full. When You
begin to take it in, keep it fuller 50 that the
stack will never take rain. If the heart is moi
kept full, it is very ecsy to build a stack that
looks well, but it win not save. ] have built
hundreds Of stacks, and never had one spoil
while some of my neghbors who have much
nicer looking stacks, always have more or less
spoiled wheat.
