Ib'Icyc I'll sell the farm, Jane Ann, and buy a

He said he wasn't anxious but he had the cash 10

And reminded me that lwadays cash sales are very
rare
The farm amt worth much, anyway. the soil is
mi hty thin,
And the rop, it yields hardly worth the putin

Besides that pesky railroad that they're putin

said,
There Amt sin lie lazy hair in Nehemiah's head,'
There want no lazy hairs know, in that old head

For he did the work of three hired men in spite OF

No, no. I'm not afelrd Of worll-of that don't COM

I've tried to work with wlin hands in sunshine and
in rain:
And I've alus wore a cheerful face except at times
maybe.
When them gidiy head-strong steers O. mine would

Perhaps it may be sinful for mortal to find fault
With toiling hard both day and night, if he only
makes his salt,
But I've thought While cradlin ran-lOdged oats on

That my cross most too hefty for a small-boned

Cure for Dyspepsia.

Milk and lime.water are now frequently
prescribed by physicians in cases of dys-
pepsia and weakness of the stomach, and
in some cases are said to prove beneficial.
Many persons who think good bread and
milk great luxury frequently hesitate
to eat it, for the reason that milk will
not digest readily; sourness of the stom-
ach will often follow. But experience
proves that lime-water and milk are not
only food and medicine at an early pc
Rod of life, but also at later, when, a.
in the case of infants, the functions of
digestion and assimilation have been
seriously impaired. A stomach taxed
by gluttony, irritated by improper food,
inHamed by alcohol, enfeebled by dis
ease, or otherwise untitled for its duties
~ is shown by the various symptoms at
tendant upon indigestion, dyspepsia, ,diar-
rhea, dysentery and fever-will resume
its work, and do it energetically, on An
exclusive diet of bread and milk and
Ame-water.
A goblet of cows milk may have four
tablespoonfuls of lime-water added to
it with good effect. The way to make
lime-water is simply to procure . few
lumps of unslacked lime, put the lime
in stone jar, add water until the lime
is Stacked and of about the consistency
of thin cream. The lime settles, leaving
the pure and clear ime-water at the
top. Great care should be taken not to
get the lime-water too strong. Keep to
the direction as to the consistency, and
when the water rises. pour it of with
out obtaining any of the lime. The
lime-water is also very good to apply to
burns and scalds. In Stacking the lime,
particular pains should be taken that
none of the particles fly into the eyes

Salutarv Punishment.

The ducking-tub having come into
disrepute in the Ohio penitentiary, pun
ishment by electricity has been substi-
tuted. The prisoner is stripped naked,
is blindfolded, handcutfed, and made to
sit down in water three inches in depth.
One pole of battery is placed in the
water, and sponge attached to the
other pole is applied to the bare skin,
the manipulation touching the flesh rap
idly in various places. This surprises,
tickles, stings, pains, and astonishes the
convict, and he yields. The punishment,
it is claimed, is beneficial to the health
of the convict, and can be administered
without expense and without trouble.
Captious schoolboys and others who
have outgrown spanking and have q
contempt for the rod, will sniff danger
in the tremendous possibilities opened up
by this electrical experiments at the Ohio
peniteniiary. The slipper and the
shingle, 80 long ir use and 50 we'll under
stood by both spanker and spankee, will
give place to the battery and sponge, and
the proud spirit that bore up under slip
pered persecution and shingled misfor.
tune will be shattered, as it were, by this
electrical expedient. 1t is enough to
make boy hate the name electricity,
and lose interest in the telegraph and
thunder storms. As the punishment is
beneficial to the health, no bad cough
or rheumatic pain will save boy from
humiliation. He will be punished for
his good and for his health, and the en-
couragement offered to retormatory
parents and strict pedrgagues will be
much greater than under the present
regime. Edison will of course perfect
an improved spanctrophone at once, and
the average boys cup of misery will be

Connscticut,s Charter.

The old charter which was granted to
the colony of Connecticut in 1862 by
Charles H., and which has hung in the
secretary of states Office for many years
past, has recently been reframed and the
text renewed, and was on Saturday hung
on the south side of the secretary OF
states Office in the new capitol. The
new frame, which is made of solid oak
from the charter oak tree, procured by
Secretary Morris from gentleman who
was presented with it by Isaac w. Stuart,
is handsomely carved, the figures repre-
senting oak leaves and acorns. On the
top are crossed bars of oak bearing the
Connecticut coat-of-arms carved infaglio,
with the motto in gilded letters. In the
old frame, which was in mahogony, the
charter was in sections, but now it is as
If single sheet. The color Of the text
had become SO faint a. to make it almost
indecipherable in places, but Mr.. Horace
Heath, the engrosrer employed in the
Office, has by means OF Indian ink
brought out the color 10 that it can be
easily read. When Dean Stanley was
visiting the city recently, he pronounced
the likeness of Charles IL. on the top Of
the document ~ comparing exactly with
likenesses in England, which are said to
be correct. The glass is q heavy French
plate, and the backing Of the frame 20
accurately put in as to make II air-tight,
thus making it perpetual. On the upper
left-hand corner the paper shows two
stains which it received while concealed
in the tree. In the charter Connecticut
has what NO other state in the union can

1ati, flying the Barber.

One time there was a barber. And
one day feller he cum in the shop for
to git shafed, and he handed the barber
q card which was wrot on like this way:
"For my Hair-Taller, clone, lard,
bergmot, pOmatum, oil, tonnick, restora-
tif, pitchooly, gum, beeswhacks, kerri-
seen and tar.
"For my Face Cole cream, cam

"For my Wiskers-Sames for my hair,
only more taller.
"For my muchtash-Do., starch,
glew, morter, and solder"
Wen the barber he red it he was Just
dlited, and said to the feller: You aEe
the most sensible man which has ever
set in this chair, yes indeed. Inever see
a man of sech good taste.
and tole him all the news which he cude
think, and never stopt tockin, the barber
didn't, while he shafed. COS he was
dlited. But Jest as he got done shafn
the fellow, and was getten reddy to put
them things onto him, cordin to the
memmy randem, q man wocked in and
took tine feller by the ear, and he sed to

Church Scene IN Kentucky.

For the edi6cation of persons living
under conventional and more or less
e6ete dispensation We summarize an ac-
count of what Kentucky reporter calls
. lively racket" which occurred dur.
ing = "protracted: meeting" at the Baptist
Church in Livingstone, KY, on Sunday
evening last. The minister, Carter by
name, attracted some attention." It
seems. by marching up to the pulpit with
. pair of saddle bags slung over his shoul-
der. Still more comment was excited
when Mr.. Carter sunk on the floor of the
pulpit and did not arise. He was drunk.
This fact was at once announced to
the audience, and the meeting was bro
ken up in confusion. Outside the
church, seated upon the fence, were q lot
Of "Sunday loafen," /" such as are usually
found lounging outside, and when the
crowd began leaving the church these
fellows cried "6ght," which had the
usual effect Of causing arow, for short
time things were quite mellow; and, be-
side some badly bruised faces, q young
man named Williams ffed two shots
from his pistol into the crowd. One
shot struck little Emma Long iu the Ede,
and the other penetrated the bonnet Of
NrA Wheolock.
During ths sseles Outside, somebody

w. Burnett. No effort was made to rescue
the prisoner, but as the guard was returning
from the jail, volley was fred into them,
killing county judge Burnett, who had
charge of the posse. Afterwards Tom Little,
of Campton, brother of Jason Little. in
to quiet mob who threatened
to break into the Jail, was shot through the
body.

at Sterling, Nov. 80, stated that Jackson was

When Mr.. Healy had accepted the
from the King of France to
paint Andrew Jackson's portrait he had
the greatest difficulty in accomplishing
the work. He found the ex-president
sitting erect in his chair, surrounded
with pillows, and his courteous presen-
tation Of his request and his credentials
was received with flashing eyes. You
can't paint my portrait, cir" roared the
general. The King of France or any
other man cannot have my picture"

expense upon commission from reign

No, sir" said jackson; you can't
paint my portrait. You are welcome to
stay at the Hermitage the rest Of your
days if you like: but you can't have my

opportunity; he remained at the Her
mitage, and at last, with the assistance
of the generals family, influenced the
obstinate old gentleman to give him short
sittings. He died soon after the COM
pletion of the portrait. Mr.. Healy being
with him at the last.

0reeley's Trouble with His Shirts.
One winter Mrs. Greeley went to the
West Indies for her health, and the fol.
lowing spring she sent for her husband
to come after her and bring her home to
New York. Now, if there WAS one
thing the old man hated, it was the sea.
The very smell of salt water made him
sick. But nevertheless he obeyed his
wife's call, as he was accustomed to obey
her every whim. In due time they got
back to Gotham, and that morning Mr..
Sinclair received word that Greeley was
not feeling we'll, owing to his voyage,
and had decided to stay at home for the
day. In the evening Sinclair was going
to Washington on business, and 80, valise
in hand, he called at Greeley's house an
hour or two before the train was to start.
He found the old man in bed, and actu.
ally very i'll, having suffered terribly with
sea-sickness all the way out aud all the
way back. He was alone, the other
members of the family being i'll or away
from home, and 30 Sinclair determined
to pass the night with him, giving up for
that time his trip to the capital.
Sinclair" said he in that querulous
whine of his, "Pm as naked as the day /
was born. My trunks haven't arrived
vet, and haven't got id night
gown"
"But why not wear this?" pointing
to the garment he had taken off before
getting into bed.
"Oh, l expect to be out tomorrow,
and 1 want that to wear then. How the
blazes would it look after I'd alept
in it,"
Well, in due time his luggage arrived,
and Sinclair made bolt for the article
he wanted. After some rummaging he
found it, and helped the old man put it
on. 1t was speedily fastened at the
neck, and the nurse took up one of the
wrists and tried to button it. There,
however, he stuck fast. The ends
wouldn't meet by fully two inches. He
tugged and twisted to his utmost, but it
was no go. Still, as the patient said
nothing, he supposed it ought to be
fastened, and redoubled his efforts for
that purpose. For about twenty min
utes he labored without success. Then
he said:
"This is failure. 1t won't fasten."
"No," replied Greeley, with exasper-
ating oalmness, /" knew it wouldn't.
The fact is, never could button the in
fernal thing myself. But you seemed
to enjoy it, so l didn't disturb you"
He lay back on the pillows for few
moments, as if thinking deeply, and
then, sitting bolt upright, he brought
his fist down upon the quilt aud ex-
claimed savagely:
elf ever Mormonism works as far
east as this, I'll be d-d if l don't have
one wife to take care of my shirts!--

The Second Coming in Illinois.

A correspondent has been reminded of
an anecdote which he beard when he
first met Mr.. Lincoln at q whig rally, in
Springfield, during the Harrison cam
paign. Mr.. Lincoln had been president
of that thriving village At q period when
it harbored among its pioneers many very
"hard cases." A Second Advent Bap-
tist minister wished to lecture on his IA
vorite subject, and to do this it was me-
cessary to get license signed BY the
president Of the village. After receiv.
ing it from Mr.. Lincoln, he inquired of
the president what he thought as to the
probability of his having good audi
ence. In reply Mr.. Lincoln informed
bim that he could not give him much
encouragement on that point. There
upon the minister entered upon an argu-
ment of the case, and wound up by say.
ing that " it was . very important sub
iect, and one that every person ought to
understand" "That may be true," said
Mr.. Lincoln, but the fact is, my friend,
that not one man in ten in this c0mmu.
nifty ever heard of the first coming of
the Savior, and they do not feel the
slightest interest in the second"

foored his antagonist by breaking a
