Instructions to a Jury.

Speaking of courts, reminds US of a
funny instruction said to have been CIV
en- by Judge to a jury in-wen we
won't say in what State. Itruns in this
way:
'If the jury believe, from the evi
dence, that the plaintiff and the defend
ant were partners in a grocery, and that
the plaintiff bought out the defendant
and gave his note for the interest, and
the defendant paid for the note by de-
livering to the plaintiff a COW, which he
warranted mot breachy,' and the war
ranty was broken by reason of the
breachiness of the COW, and the plaintiff
drove the COW back and rendered her to
the defendant, but the defendant re-
fused to receive her, and the plaintiff
took her home again, and put a heavy
yoke or poke upon her, to prevent her
from jumping the fence, and the COW in
attempting to jump the fence, by reason
of the poke or yoke, broke her neck and
died, and if the jury further believe that
the defendants interest in the grocery
was not worth any thing, the plaintiff S
note was worthless, and the COW good
for nothing, either for milk or beef, or
for green hide then the jury must find
out for themselves how they will decide
the case-for the court, if she under
stands herself, and she thinks she do,
don't know how such a cussed case
should be decided"

Didn't Marry for Love or Money,

A farmers son from near Reilly was
in town last week selling hogs, and ran
into an old acquaintance on the street.
''What dye think, Bill2 I'm mar
ried," said the Butler county youth.
''The deuce you are Well, I never
thought that of you, Sam. Who is she?''
"Old Uncle Dan Farrers daughter
Mary; and I'll open your eys bit, Bill.
You won't believe it, maybe, but its
honest gospel truth. 1 did't marry that
girl for neither love nor money-hOnest
1njun," said Sam, with smile that made
his face look as though his eyes were
about to be fenced In.
Bill leaned up against a lamp-pOst and
gave him a look of speechless amazement
for a second or two, then Ehistled, and
slowly said:
"Wen, then, by the old Harry, I'd
like to know what you did marry her
for, anyway"
''WeI, Bill, I'll tell you how it was.
You see she's one of the best little work
ers in that part of the country" returned
Sam, with a double dose of the old
smile.
"Oh, that's how it comes, is it ?" said
Bill. "Well, old John Robinson bought
a couple of mules last week on that very
same Recommendation"
Sam said he had to meet man at 8
O'Clock, and hurried away.-Cincilndti

POINTS FOR BUSINESS MEN.-An
exchange thus puts the " true canons of
advertising"
l. All men in business must advertise
in some way. All men in business do
advertise, somehow.
?. Newspapers afford the best general
medium.
3. The object of advertising is simply
to bring buyer and seller together-suc-
cessful advertising must, therefore, do
three things:
A. Be ineligible and explicit as to
the things on sale.
B. Itmustreaeh the class likely to buy.
C. 1t must persuade them that it will
be to their advantage to come and buy.
4. The interests of sellers, buyers and
advertising medium are mutual.
5. Sellers, buyers and newspapers are
all three equally interested in sustaining
this mutual relation.
6. The common notion of PATRONAGE
as regards newspapers is falacious. As
all persons are buyers, all sellers should
be advertisers. As nearly all persons are
sellers, all buyersshOuld takenewspapers-
in both cases for their own sake, not the
newspapers sake.
Z. The profits Of well-conducted news
papers are a measure of the business pros
perity of community. We all thrive
together by contributing to the support
of one another.
This is truth in nutshell, and needs
but line or two to make it perfect, to-wit:
Nearly every successful business man in
the country who has made large fortune
in trade, has been a liberal advertiser in
newspapers.

1t is an exquisite and beautiful thing
in our nature that, when the heart is
touched and softened by some tranquil
happiness, or afectionate feeling, the
memory of the dead comes over it most
powerfully and irresistibly. 1t would
seem almost as though our better thoughts
and sympathies were charms in virtue of
which the soul is enabled to hold some
vague and mysterious intercourse with
the spirits of those they loved in life.
Alas how often and how long may those
patient angels hover around US, watching
for the spell which is SO often forgotten.

The RaraI Neao PorEer notes that,
in drying, corn loses one-fifth and wheat
one-fourteenth. From this the estimate
is made that it is more profitable for the
farmer to sell unshelled corn in the fall
at 75 cents, than at 81 per bushel in the
following summer, and that wheat at
s1.25 in December is equal to S1.5O in
the succeeding June. In the case Of
potatoes-taking those that rot and are
otherwise lost, together with the shrink
age-and there is little doubt that be-
tween October and June the loss to the
owner who holds them is not less than
33 per cent,
