Astonishing a HighWayman.

Some years ago, an agent for large
mercantile house was attacked on coun.
try road by a highwayman, who taking
him by surprise, robbed him of his purse
and pocket-book, containing cash and
notes to a considerable amount.
"Sir," said the traveller, with great pres
ence of mind, II have suffered you to take
my property and you are welcome to it
1t is my employers, and the loss of it can
not do him much harm; but, as it will
look very cowardly in me to have beer
robbed without making any resistance,
should take it kindly of you just to fire a
pistol ball through my coat"
"With all my heart" replied the high
wayman where will you have the ball
Here, just by the side of the button
said the agent.
The highwayman was as good as his
word, but the moment he fired the agent
knocked him off his horse and having
stunned him with the blow, aided by a
laborer who came up at the time, soon af
ter lodged him safely in the county jail

the booksellers window, a strong desire
sprung up in his mind to become scholar,
and at once he set out for the University
of Oxford, some two hundred miles off,
walking the whole way. At night he
would sometimes sleep in barns, or on the
sheltered-side of hay-stack, and often
met with strange companions. He lived
chiefly on bread and water, with OCCASION
ally draught OF milk as luxury.
Arrived at the splendid city of Oxford,
his clothing worn out and very dusty, his
feet sore, and his spirits depressed, he knew
not what to do.
He had heard of Exeter College in Ok
ford and there he went, and to his great
delight was engaged to carry fuel into the
kitchen, to clean pans and kettles, and
that kind of work.
Here, while securing his pans, he might
often be seen reading book.
His studious habits soon attracted the
attention of the authorities, who admitted
him into college as poor scholar, and
provided for all his wants.
He studied hard, and was soon at the
head of his class. He rose to great emf
nence as a scholar, was very successful as O
minister of Christ, and many years before
his death, which took place when he was
seventy-two, he visited his father and
mother, who were delighted to see theil
son not only great scholar, but pious
bishop. Such was the history of Dr. John
Prideaux, who used to say, "IfI had been
parish clerk of U Thorough should never
have been Bishop of Worcester" He left
many works as fruits of his industry and
learning.

Fruit Growing versus Farming and Stock
Raising.

A question of this kind came up in tie
late meeting of the Western New York
Horticultural Society, to show the COM
parative profits of the two, and in this in
telligent body, among whom are many
farmers of long experience and practice, it
was shown by nearly every speaker, that
the profits of fruit growing far exceeded,
as a rule, that of farming. Grain and stock
can be raised in all sections of the country,
while fruit has its favorite localities, and
the main supply for the country comes from
these particular localities, especially ofthe
large or tree fruits
Consumption and demand must be kept
up with the product and supply raised, or
prices fall, and the farming portion of the
community being so large in this coun-
try, and constantly increasing in numbers
and over territory, must for long time
keep prices down. But with fruits, and
especially small fruits, such as strawbcr-
ries, raspberries, blackberries and grapes,
the demand, as rule, far exceeds the sup
ply, except in a few localities where the
business is overdone There are thou
sands Of towns and cities throughout the
land that are not fully supplied with these,
and we safely affirm that in any of these
places or localities where such fruits sell
for at least ten cents per quart, more money
can be made off from ten acres of small
fruits, than from any two hundred acre
farm In the country, weather, climate, &c.,
to be equally favorable for both. There
are hundreds and thousands of our read
ers to-day who have land enough in the
most favorable localities that are barely
paying expenses at farming, who by set
ting to 10 acres ofsuch lands to small fruit
can realize more profit from such, than
from all the rest of their farm. These re-
marks do not apply to sections where fruit
business is overdone, or to those who eX-
pect to ignore their own, or small, neigh
boring markets, to ship to some Chicago,
New York or like markets. Scores and
hundreds Of farmers would make money
by renting three-quarters of their farms.
and putting the balance into fruits. We
have alluded to the above facts in Recorder,
and have received hundreds of letters from
parties who have planted out small fruits,
truck, &C., who have, and are making
money. We have also received letters from
Others who have made failure OF it, but
as rule, we find the latter class went into
the business too heavily, and near or for
markets that were fully. supplied. Look
around you, and if you see small beds or
plantations of small fruits doing well in
your neighborhood on soil like your own,
and you have good market, plant out
small fIuit-not too extensive at first, but
reasonable quantity. Give them good
care and attention, and our word for it,
you will have money by growing such.--

A New Rail Route Between Baltimore and
New York,

Several times we have called attention to
the necessity of new railroad to compete
with the p, w. u. b. between this city and
Philadelphia, so us to there connect with
the North Pennsylvania road to New York
thus making new route to the great me-
tropolis.
The mole we think of the idea the more
we are impressed with both its practica-
bility and necessity The fact that little
railroad only SO miles long is allowed to
monopolize the passenger and IL large part
of the freight traffic from New England
New York city and suburbs, Philadelphia,
Wilmington, and the country between, to
Baltimore, and gice gersa, and TO charge OPP
pressiVe rates, is shame, to say the least
Of it. 1t seems that both Mr.. Garrett and
Mr.. Scott are too much engaged in bull
ding connections and opposition lines to
less important cities in the West, to turn
their attention to breaking the monopoly
of the p, w. 6 B.
And yet we believe that the time will
be certain to come when this monopoly
will be broken by one of the two great
railroad companies.
1t is possible that the p, w. 6 B. is the
phantom corporation operating under the
charter of the Maryland Central Railroad
A short while ago, not more than a year
several miles Of grading were done upon
this line east of Towsontown. The people
along the line thought the road was being
built in earnest, but suddenly the grading
stopped-sufficient having been done ia
keep the charter alive for few years more
just before the charter is to expire again
we presume some more grading will be
done, and so on ad in1iaitum. Now is il
possible that this is bluff game ON the
part of the p, w. &c b. Who knows
but that they are thus playing to keep out
opposition
A few years since Mr.. Garrett promised
that we should have an opposition line tc
New York via Philadelphia; but lie has
not given it to us. Some more enterpris
ing brethren of the Quaker city have dont
their part by building the North Pennsyl
vania road, and it may be that they mus
be the parties who must open up the lin,
to Baltimore.
A first-class double-track road, includ
ing the right of way into the two cities
could be built between Baltimore ant
Philadelphia for 0,0OO-only abou
| twice the cost of the tunneling on the Bal
timore and Potomac road. If the enter
prise was started under proper auspicies
we believe that the bonds would be rcadi
ly bought, and the road quickly built
Such an opportunity for capital is seldom
known.

Manure Making.

Manure is truly the back bone of our
farming the manure heap is "the farmers
saving bank" The accumulation and saw
ing of all materials which will increase
the size and the efficacy of that heap ought
to be duty never intermitted. The loss
by allowing manure to lie exposed to sun
and rain and wind; by permitting stream
insignificant in volume to wash away the
best of its constituents, the careless farmer
does not count. Yet careful tests show
that manure, its valuable constituents
volatilized and borre off on every passing
wind, is not worth one-fourth of that pro-
tectcd from the weather. To cover the
barn-yard would be in many cases i'm
practicable, but the receptacle ofthe urine
and dung can be so dished that the liquor
cannot run off; abundant absorbcnts can
be used; the wash 10y surface water proven
ted, and the escape of ammonia lesscned
by the occasional busting over the pile
with plaster. To increase the quantity
look to it that all the waste substances ON
the farm and in the garden are here utili-
zed. Materials may be found in the fence
corners and hcad.lands, leaves from the
woods, scrapng of roads, mud from the
marsh, the otfal from the house the cham
Der slops and soap,suds, ashes from the
kitchen, an occasional dead animal, and
many other similar substances, too apt to
90 to waste and become nuisances instead
of adding to the contents of the compost
heaps. Well mixed with rich earth, alter
mating with occasional layers Of stable
manure, and all wetted with such liquids
as may be attanable, these sources of sup
ply would largely supplement the quota OF
manure furnished from the horse and COW
stables, and make still more efficient the
application of such mineral fertilizers us
may be applied.

In thy good time, dear Lord, in thy good time
l shall find rest,
Far from the strife and tumult of the world
In regions blest.
After the heat and turmoil of the day.
The quiet night,
With fragrant breeze, while silver stars look
down
With softencd light.
After the heat and burden of life's day,
The quiet grave,
Rest for the weary frame and aching head,
Where sweet flowers wave
After the storm upon the billowy deep,
The gentle calm.
Fierce winds are hushcd, and soothing gales
steal down
Like healing balm.
After the storm upon life's pillows deep
| shall find peace
That blessed peace, in realms of holy joy,
Where sorrows cease.
In patience, Lord, wait for thy good time,
When thou wilt come
To take me to thy everlasting rest,
My heavenly home.

VERY IMPORTANT.

Dr.. Edtor Of The B!gis d Mtelligencer;
As there is q great deal of rivalry everywhere,
in the political field, in the social circle, and
even in the church, therefore you might expect
it in the business profession. This rivalry in
business has reached the climax in the stove
trade.
Ever since the TIMES COOK took the Gold
Medal for quick baking it has been attacked by
jealous rivals, but since it has taken the lead
of all frstcass Cook Stoves in Baltimore and
bids fair to finally supcrcede them. 1t has in
Cured the spite and envy of those who could
not secure the sale fit, so much so that they
take our double ire.shield cross piece and UNI
screw them and show buyers one. half and say
the TIMES COOK has very light castings. They
also say it will not bake well, draw well, is not
No. iron, Nc, &c.
SO the only security for buyers is to come di-
rect to No. 96 ~ Gay Street, near Front Street,
and see for themselves if the TIMES COOK
isn't the largest, heaviest, most economical, and
best BAKING STOVE ever made. Every one
of the TIMES COOK is guaranteed TO bake per-
fectly.
The reason | can sell them so cheap is that
am connected with the "Quakertown Stove
Works" and we make them ourselves, so you
buy from first hands. No two profits at young

We do say it is the heaviest, largest and the
best working stove ever offered for sale.

TRUE LENT.
IIcrrick, an old writer, has some lines {
keeping true Lent as follows
Is this q Fast, to keep
The larder lcane,
And cleanc,
From fat of vealcs and sheep?
Is it to quit the dish
OF flesh, yet still
To fill
The platter high with fish?
Is it to taste an hourc,
Or rag'd to go,
Or show
A down.cast look and sowrc?
No; tits Fast to dole
Thy sheaf ofwhcat,
And meat,
Unto the hungry soulc.
1t is to fast from strife,
From old debate,
And hate;
To circumcisc thy life;
To show heart grief-rcnt,
To starve thy sin,
Not bin;
And that's to keep thy Lent.

CRUELTY TO HORSES AND MULEs.-One
of the most cruel things to be seen daily
on streets, is the tight and harsh manner
in which horses and mules most frequent
ly the latter, are checked up, till their
mouths are cut to bleeding, their tongues
crushed out, and their necks cramped; it
is more hurtful and painful to the faith
full animals than even over loading and
driving. We have seen elegant carriage
horses, in the streets, standing for hours,
checked up so tight, they could scarcely
move their heads, and, in agony they would
twist and screw their heads and necks in
various ways trying to get relief.
In passing along the streets, we have
more than once, on seeing such cases Of
suffering, walked up and loosened the
check to relieve the poor animal, and
had we the power, we would tie a tight
bit in the mouth of every man who thus
inficts suffering on the noble horse.
AN EASY WAY TO DANISH CRows.-J.
w. Bliss, of Bradford, Vt, adopted novel
way to keep crows from his corn. He
found quite flock busily engaged in a
| twelve-a acre lot belonging to him. He pro-
cured couple of small spring traps, such
as are used in catching muskrats and set
them some distance apart between the
rows, scattering along a few kernels of
corn. Not long after he heard hubbub
and cawing in the field loud enough to
awaken the mythical seven sieepers, while
the fence and trees near by were nearly
black with crows. He didn't trouble them
for couple of hours, Though they did him,
by their continual noise, after which he re-
leased the two caught in the traps. Since
that time the crows have given that field
a wide berth, not having been seen in the
immediate vicinity. This way of getting
rid of crows seems much preferable to
shooting as no Northern bird does so much
scayenger work as the crows.
