USE OF TREEs.-Trees should be planted
not only by dwelling-houses, and along roads,
but they should be in every pasture and by
watering places, and near every barn, wher-
ever horses, cattle and sheep are to be provi-
ded for All these animals suffer from the
burning sun; and, to say nothing Of their
comfort and enjoyment, the cost Of shade trees
will be many times paid back in the saving Of
milk, fat, fleece and strength, which will re-
suit by protecting domestic animals from the
heat of the sun.

THINGS THAT PAY.-There are two things
that always pay even in this not over remu
nerative existence. They are working and
waiting. Either is useless without the other
Both united are invincible, and inevitably
triumphant. He who waits without working
is sim ply man yielding to sloth and despair
He who works without waiting, is 6tful in his
strivings and misses results by impatience
He who works steadily and waits patiently
may have long journey before him, but al
it's close he will find its reward.

The MINISTER'S EXPERIMENTAL minis
lister picked up frozen wasp on the side
walk, yesterday, and, with view to advanc'
ing the interests of science, he carried it in
the house and held it by the tail while he
warmed its ears over lamp chimney. His
object was to see if wasps froze to death, OF
merely lay dormant during the winter. He
is of the opinion that they merely lie dor:
mant, and the dormantest kind at that; and
when they revive, he says, the tail thaws out
first, for while this ones head, right over the
lamp, was so stiff and cold it could not wink,
its probe worked with such inconceivable ra.
pidity, that the minister couldn't gasp fast
enough to keep up with it. He threw the
vicious thing down the lamp-chimney, and
said he didn't want to have any more truck
with dormant wasp, at which his wife burst
into tears, and asked how he, a minister Of
the gospel, could use such language, right be-
fore the children, too.

sss- Mark Twain says that French duels are
dangerous affairs, No; however, from any fear
of immediate loss of life or limb, or even of
blooshed, but because these duels are always
fought in the open air, and the duelists are thus
exposed to the hazard Of catching cold and
injuring their health.

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.


DAIN; in the right side, under the edge
1 of the ribs increases on pressure;
sometimes the pain is in the left side;
the patient is rarely able to lie on the
left side; sometimes the pain is felt
under the shoulder blade, and it fire.
quently extends to the top of the shoul-
der, and is sometimes mistaken for
rheumatism in the arm. The stomach
is affected with loss of appetite and
sickness; the bowels in general are
costive, sometimes alternative with lax;
the head is troubled with pain, accom-
panied with dull, heavy sensation in
the back part There is generally a
considerable loss of memory, accom-
panied with a. painful sensation of hav-
ing left undone something which ought
to have been done. A slight, dry cough
is sometimes an attendant. The patient
complains of WEAKNESS and debility; he
is easily startled, his feet are cold or
burning, and he complains of a prickly
sensation of the skin; his spirits are
low; and although he is satisfied that
exercise would be beneficial to him,
yet shey can scarcely summon up forh-
tude enough to try it. In fact, he dis
trusts every remedy. Several of the
above symptoms attend the disease, but
cases have occurred" where few of them
existed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.

B9~ A strange man was acting as sexton.
An old gentleman, who was deaf, took his seat
in pew, and produced from his pocket an
ear-trumpet of curious shape, and to the dis
may of the temporary sexton, raised it toward
his face. The sexton sprang to his side, and
said something in low voice, whereupon the
gentleman endeavored to raise the trumpet to
his ear, but was prevented by the sexton seiz'
ing his hand. With increasing voice and ex-
citement, he said: "You mustn't, sir. You
mustn't blow that horn in here. If you do
I shall be obliged to put you out!' And the
good old man, pocketing his bugle, heard
nothing of service or sermon.

AFRAID OF BEING KIssED.-A man was

another. The roads finally united, and the
man and woman, reaching the junction at
the same time, walked on from there together
The man was carrying large iron kettle on
his back in one hand he held by the legs q
live chicken, in the other cane and he was
leading goat. Just as they were coming to
a deep, dark ravine, the woman said to the
man F.:
81 am afraid to go through that ravine
with you; it is a lonely place, and you might
overpower and kiss me by force"
eff you were afraid of that" said the man,
"you shouldn't have walked with me at all.
How can possibly overpower you and kiss
you by force, when I have this great iron ket.
tie on my back, cane in one hand and a
live chicken in the other, and am leading this
goat ? might as well be tied hand and foot. y
"Yes," replied the woman; 'but if you
should stick your cane into the ground and
tie the goat to it, and turn the kettle bottom
side up and put the chicken under it, then
you might wickedly kiss me in spite Of my
resistance"
"success to thy ingenuity, o woman r
said the rejoicing man to himself. 81 should
never have thought of this expedient."
And when they came to the ravine, he stuck
his cane into the ground and tied the goat to
it, gave the chicken to the woman, saying,
Hold it while I cut some grass for the
goat )" and then, lowering the kettle from
his shoulders, imprisoned the fowl under it,
and wickedly kissed the woman, as she was
afraid he would Circassian Legend.
SHE COULDN'T SEE IT.-A young man
and his girl sat near the front at Burdett's
(the Burlington Hawkeye man's) lecture on
"The Rise and Fall of the Mustache," the
other evening. The young man carried his
head on one side, it being forced into that
position by the weight of half very tender
mustache which was composed of seven hairs
upon one side and eleven hairs on the other
side of his nose When the Hawkeye man
had Just finished convulsing his hearers with
an account of a youths first shaving encoun:
ter with barber, the young man leaned
over to his girl, and whispered:
"That's true to life, I can tell you"
"How can you tell me?" inquired the girl.
"How?" he repeated in whisper; "why,
by experience that's just the way | felt when
first got shaved"
"When was that" she asked.
ooh! before I raised my mustache," he
returned.
"What mustache ?" she queried, little
surprised.
"What mustache do you suppose" he re-
torted, turning red. 49,
"Why, Charlie" whispered the girl, 81
never saw any mustache Do you mean
"Never mind what I mean" Kissed the
young man between his clenched teeth. And
he stared very hard at the lecturer all the
rest of the evening, but somehow couldn't see
anything to laugh at. Sunday night he went
to see new girl.-Rockland Courier.
