STRUCK A BoNANzA.-A Decatur street
grocer took sugar-cured ham from its yellow
overcoat the other day, stuffed the canvass
with saw-dust and hung it temptingly before
his door as sign.
Yesterday short-legged Jim came along
and seeing the decoy, remembered that the
old oman was out of meat, and concluded
he'd appropriate what he termed the "big ba-
nana." Watching his chance he soon had the
yellow fraud under his arm making for home
'Ole oman, hyar's ham O meat fotched
yer," he said as he deposited his prize
"Look hyar, niger, whar in the name ob
de Lamb did yer fotch up wild all dat ham?'
Gas me no quischuns an I'll tell yer no
lies," said Jim, evasively.
"Well, it duz look sorter like ole times ter
see so much meat as dis in der house. Clar
to grashus dat man Hayes amt no slouch OBJ
a presumdent-am he, Jim p
"Shet yer fly trap, ole 'oman; wot de debbil
you know bout Hayes? Fotch me dem scis-
sors an les sample dis ham,"
The scissors cut two or three stitches, and
the saw.dust began to pour out. There were
two dark faces made darker by the revelation,
and it flashed through Jim's mind that he
hadn't struck bonanza after all.
"See hyar, Jim; pears ter me dat eft |
couldn't steal shore huff ham [ wouldn't
steal bag OBJ sawdust!"
Then Jim went down town fully satisfied
that "all's not gold that glitters. ."-Bridges

THE EDITOR.


BY QUILLDRIvER.
The editor who wills to please,
Must humbly crawl upon his knees,
And kiss the hand that beats him;
Or if he dare attempt to walk,
Must toe the mark that others chalk,
And cringe to all that meet him.
SAYS one, your subjects are too grave
Too much morality you have
Too much about religion;
Give me some witch or wizard tales,
With slip-shod ghosts, with fms and scales,
Or feathers like pigeon.
love to read, another cries,
Those monstrous fashionable lies
In other words those novels,
Composed of kings and queens and lords,
OF border wars and Gothic hordes,
That used to live in novels.
Mono, cries one, we've had enough
OF such confounded lovesick stuff,
To craze the fair creation;
Give us some recent foreign news,
Of Russians, Turks, the Greeks and Jews,
Or any other nation.
-~- The man of drilled scholastic lore,
Would like to see little more
In scraps of Greek or Latin;
The merchants rather have the price
OfSouthern indigo and rice,
Or India silk or satin.
Another cries, want more fun,
A witty anecdote or pun,
A rebus or riddle;
Some long for missionary news,
And some-of worldly, carnal views
Would rather hear fiddle.
The critic, too, of classic skill,
Must dip in gall his gander quill,
And scrawl against the paper;
OF all the literary fools,
Bred in our colleges and schools,
He cuts the silliest caper.
Another cries, want to see
A iumbled up variety
Variety in all things;
4 miscellaneous, hodge, Dig Z ,podlgs lst print
Composed, only give the hint,
Of multifarious small things.
I want some marriage news, says MISS,
It constitutes my highest bliss,
To hear of weddings plenty;
For in time of general rain
None suffer from drought, tits plain;
At least not one in twenty.
Iwant to hear of death, says one,
Of people totally undone,
Bv losses, fire or fever;
Another answers, full as wise,
I'd rather have the fall and rise
Cfraccoon skins and beaver.
Some signify secret wish
For now and then savory dish
Of fpolitics to suit them;
But here we rest with perfect ease,
For should they swear the moon was cheese
We never should dispute them.
Or grave or humorous, wild or tame,
Lofty or low, It's all the same,
Too naughty or too humble;
And every editorial wight
Has naught to do but what is right,
And let the grumbler grumble.

MoNEY.-Wealth is potent in its own
sphere, but impotent beyond it. 1t can put a
telegraph under the sea and cover the land
with a network of wires as with spiders 8
web. 1t can build railroads and bridge
oceans. 1t can buy houses and lands and
every material advantage but here its power
stops. 1t cannot purchase goodness, or JUS
tice, or gentleness, or patience, or love, or
true friendship. 1t cannot do anything to
make character stronger or life sweeter. 1t
can say to the minister, I will feed you and
clothe you while you are making men better
and to the teacher, I will take care of you
while you are making men wiser; but it can
do nothing without the brain OF wisdom or %
the heart Of goodness. 1t can build railroads
but it cannot build men, Christian Onaon.

SOMETHING TO REMEMBER.-A story is
told of Yankee who, travelling in the back
districts of Georgia, sought shelter from a
"northeaster" in the cabin of native" He
was welcomed to the ample 6reside around
which were gathered the Georgian with his
wife and numerous family. In vain we're the
gum logs piled upon the hearth, while through
open doors and windows came the pitiless
blast. The stranger took in the situation at a
glance, and soon made everything fast. As
the genial glow spread through the now snug
cabin, the circle around the hearth expanded,
and the bewildered but delighted host asked :
"Say, stranger, how did you do that?"
II simply closed the doors and windows, as
we do at the North" was the reply.

SowING ON Observation-Disclosures as
have been the instructions of late for preserv-
ing the almost "lost art" of sowing grain by
hand, there remains one mode that has es.
capped mention, and which, when mentioned,
will probably be derided by those who have
not tried it. I allude to sowing on horseback.
Sulky rakes, sulky rollers, etc., are regarded
as useful contrivances for the saving of human
labor, but none of your correspondents ap-
pear to have thought of making the horse
perform the labor of walking, and carrying
seed bag and sower to and fro across the field
during the operation of sowing the grain.
And yet, after long experience, the writer
has found that he could distribute seed grain
more regularly from the saddle than on foot,
and with far more ease and comfort-as any
good scotsman will find after short prac-
tice. Grass seeds, however, being lighter
than grain, are best sown on foot.

LIVE SToCK.-When the coat is shedding,
the use of the card, or smooth curryconb,
should not be neglected. There is then an

A teaspoonful of sulphur daily, to every ami
NAL, for a week or two, would be helpful.

riage relation, and the words father and moth
er, brother and sister, cease to have any mean
ing The human family are degraded to
level with the beasts of the feld-without a
home and without country. We conclude
that if the marriage relationship ceases to ex-
ist at death, every other earthly relationship
also ceases. If, in the resurrection, they Meth.
er marry nor are given in marriage, then all
those relationships which are confessedly of
less Importance and less intimate, will not
exist.
Heavenly recognition, then, in the sense
that all or any of our merely earthly rela-
tionshps will be revived and perpetuated
throughout eternity, we honestly believe, is
inconsistent with both common sense and the
teachings ofthe Scripture. In heaven, Jesus
Christ will absorb and swallow up every thing
else The only thing that the ransomed in
heaven will remember about time, will be
that they were washed in the blood Of the
Lamb. The very remembrance Of sin will be
blotted out forever, and every relationship
which was marred by the fall will be forgot
ten. The very recurrence of the mind to all,
or any one of our merely temporal relation
ships, would mar the bliss of heaven.
1t must, however, be remembered that man g
relationships are, some of them, physical and
some of them moral All believers are mem
bers of the same family-children ofthe same
parent. They are sons and daughters of the
Lord Almighty. This is not temporal re-
latioushp. 1t may be said to begin in time,
but it will not end with time. 1t will contin-
ue throughout never ending eternity. The
moment an individual beIievesin Jesus Christ,
