At Chicago il i not believed that res tor alton

At Pittsburg the militia were not reinforc ed

Two thousand freight cars were burned 1T

COntentment.

To be at peace with ourselves,
TO be in harmony with our surround
ings, is more to be priced in this
every day world than wealth or
genious. And this treasure lies
within the power of each. Its pos
session depends entirely upon our
selves. 1t must be deep and abid
ing, not left to the mercy of every
trife.
Did it ever occur to you that q
cheerful, happy face, the mirror of
4 serene and peaceful mind, would
give more real pleasure to your
family than the elaborate dinner,
or the well arranged house? Affairs
do take 4 most eXasperating turn
sometimes, but frowns, and cross
words. and fretting won't make
them a whit better; indeed, they
make them worse, for they incapaci-
tate one for any thought, and leave
one at the mercy of i'll humOr or
passion. which is more likely to lead
in the wrong than in the right path
There is absolute gain in self cen
troll, in reserving equanimity of
spirit amid trying circumstances.
Moral power is secured. and conse-
quently the ability to govern per-
sons and control direct affairs.

Lucky and UnIucxy Numbers

The superstition OF the world
would afford material for. great
deal of curious investigation. One
of its oldest features is the belief
in lucky numbers which is TO be
found in very sensible people. It
is generally tancied that even num-
bers are unlucEy, and writer gives
a reason for this-namely, that an
even number can always be divided
by two, thus denoting death and
desolation. Some of the early
Christians cherished n curious faith
in odd numbers. In some parts Of
England housewife is allowed to
set her hens on an odd number OF
eggs, lest otherwise there should be
no chicks. But if the Graces were
three, so also were the Furies; and a
statistical comparison would con
vince any inquirer that one is DC
more lucky than another. Still We
shall probably keep on saying
Three times and ten" There
luck in odd numbers" and the rest
of the superstitiOus old saws.

Work is the beginning and
the continuous requisite OF ali pros
perity. Capital is but IT'S product,
snd wealth its result; and wherever

to the laborer. He must seek for

There are farms which are fast re-
turning to their native wildness,

Interesting Gossip About the
New Mistress of the
White House.

CINCINNATI, March 3.-The new
mistress of the White House is the
first Ohio lady who has filed that
responsible position. She was born
in Chillicothe, the ancient metropo
lis, once the capital OF the North
western territory, and for several
years the capital of the State of
Ohio. She was Lucy Webb, daugh-
ter of DR.. Webb, and granddaugh-
ter ofDr. Isaac Cook, one of the
first settlers in Chillicothe. She
obtained IN uncommon education
for a young lady of her time, and it
is said that incidently to this fact
she became Mrs. Hayes. who be-
came acquainted with her at college.
Whatever opinions may be held
as TO her husbands ability, there is
no question of the superior worth
OF orr new presidents wife. Mrs
Hayes Is 4 women Of strong natu-
raj powers OF mind and TO this she
has added the graces of culture.
She is a woman to whom affecta-
ton is a total stranger. For years
she has been IN active worker in

The SIickest Sell Yet.

We don't know when we read of
better way of swindling those who
like to make money easy than the
following: At the Meadville fair
last Friday 4 man of very favorable
appearance claiming TO represent I
large jewelry establishment, drove
upon the ground and gathered q
crowd about him offering a two dol
lar greenback for anyone who would
give 81 IS for it. The offer was
readily taken. He then sold the
amount he had just received for one
dollar, saying that his object was
not to make money at ell, but to ad-
vertise his house. This was kept
up till but q small fraction of the
two dollars remained, which he gen
erously threw into the crowd. He
then offered some rings for sale,
saying that he would not sell them
for twenty cents apiece, bat would
take as much more as ore choose to
give him. When he had disposed
of his rings in this way he request
ed all those who had purchased to
hold up their hands. He refunded
the money to them and gave them
as much more; those who had paid
twenty cents for their rings re-
ceived about fifty cents, and those
who had paid fifty cents nearly
dollar. He then sold some sleeve
buttons in the same way, always re
turning two dollars for one. Hav-
ing now whetted the appetite of the
crowd, and excited their avidity, he
displayed some chains, which, he
said he would not sell for less than
two dollars apiece; but, as ne said
before, he would take as much as
the generosity of the buyer would
prompt him to give. The chains
were soon disposed of, some giving
two dollars, some five, and some
even as much as ten and fifteen dol
lars. When he had accumulated
about 5000, he had the impudence
TO tell his victims that, as they
seemed to have plenty of money, he
would put what he had in his peck
ct, and he advised those who had
any left to do the same. He then
lifted his lat, babe them good day,
and drove OF the grounds, to the
utter establishment of the unsophis-
ticated. - Westchester Nerus.

The Farm.

No farmer can carry on his bust
ness successfully, says an exchange,
unless he controls it, and if he can
not control it, be ought to embark
into something else. He should
know that his horses and mules are
in their stables before dark, and
that they are under strong lock.
He should know that his corn and
fodder, and the like, are under good
shelter and safely locked therein.
He should know how many hogs he
has, and that they are fed, what he
can spare them, and that they eat it
without tbs assistance of any one
else's hogs. He should know that
there IS place tor everything, and
everything in its place" He should
gates closed, and premises strong
enough to keep stock out. He
should know that his teuements are
kept intact-no rails, boards, pal
ing OF planks burned. He should
know of whom he bO-rows and to
whom he lends, and the dates of
both. He should know what he
SPENDS, and what he receives, what
he makes and what he loses. He
should know that good wife is the
best partner he can have. He should
know that his reaping is as his SOW
ing, his life as he makes it, his for
tune as he shapes it.
Our contemporary might also have
added, that a farmer should take a
a good, reliable weekly journal
in order to keep him acquainted
with all that is going on in the diff
ferent branches of farming and
stock Using. Exchange.

The Best Time.

A very dear and only daughter
lay dying. She had been a very
thoughtful, praying child, having
protested religion at twelve years
of age, and lived a devoted and use
full life. Now she was only waiting
a few hours to go home. Severe
pains at times almost took away the
power OF thought Between these
severe attacks of suffering she
looked back on her childhood ex-
periences, and forward into the
blessed future with equal clearness
and joy as she said, There's a de
lightfuI clearness-" As l sat by her
bed. we talked as her strength
would permit. Among the many
things never to be forgotten, she
said: "Father, you know protested
religion when l was young. very
young-some thought too young
but. O, how l wish I could tell
everybody what comfort to me
now to think of it." Reaching out
her hand-tingers already cold
and grasping mine, she said with
great earnestness: Father, you are
at work for the young. Do all YOU
can for them while they are young.
It is the best time-the best time.
o, I see it now as I never did be-
fore. 1t is the best time-while
they are young-the younger the
better. Do all you can for them
while they are very yOung.

Planting Corn.

An Illinois paper says DR.. Cham
berlain;s practical experiment dem
onstrated that nearly half time may
be saved by the use of chloride Of
lime. He had four boxes in his Of
Zee. In one corn was plan ted with
out being soaked at all. In the
second was planted corn that was
soaked in warm water In the third
seed that was soaked in the solu-
ton of lime: ana In the fourth other
seed that had been soaked in So
luton of chloride of copperas, in
equal parts. All the seed were
planted at the same time, in the
same quality of soil, and taken from
the same ear. Ali the boxes had
an equal share Of heat and light,
neither being allowed any advan-
tage over the others. In the LIST,
the seed showed no sign of germi-
nation when the germs were visible
on the second; when the green
blades were peeping through the
ground IN the third; and when the
blades were between two and three
inches in the fourth.
Another fact Of some importance
may also be mentioned: The cop
peras used in soaking will pTevc-t
the birds, squirrels, worms, &c,
from eating the seeds.
DR.. Chamberlain assured the edi
tor of the paper that one pound of
the chloride of liEe and one pound
Of copperas in water will soak
enough seed for twenty acres. The
cost will not be over twenty five
cents. If corn that is not soaked
comes up BADLY it is important to
plant as early as possible, and when
thus soaked will catch up with the
corn first planted. Thus soaking
will be of great advantage, too.
when from any cause the corn may
be planted late.
1t will be well for farmers to try
this experiment and plant in &C
cordance with it if it shall be found
to be as represented by DR.. Cham
berlaln.

SecOnd-Crop Irish Potatoes.

For years we have endeavored to
get our farmers to plant their early
dug, small Irish potatoes so as tc
procure a good supply of excellent
seed for the crop of next season.
Many have adopted the plan and
express themselves as highly salts
fed with the result, and among the
number we learn from Mr. II. that
he has now forty barrels of his last
YEAR second crop, which he in
tends to plant himself, and that he
likes them better than any North
ern seed he has ever seen. He is a
live farmer, and is showing US what
might have been saved by our peo-
pie adopting this plan, and utilizing
the appliances and means in their
power to save and have their own
seed, and thus be independent OF
