Western Farmer.

Western Farmer.
One day just before harvest, an Ohio
farmer went to Cincinnati to Buy q
reaper. A delighted agent collared the
granger and dragged him to his ware
house. As they walked down the we'll.
stocked room, the farmer, in a medita-
tive mood, quoted the line, There is a
reaper whose name is Death" but before
he could start the second line the agent
broke in F.: "Ah, yes, l know it, sir. I
know it like a book. We handled that
reaper one season, sir, and I'd take
$4,000 out of my pocket this minute if it
would undo the damage that reaper did
our business in that one year. You
don't want it, sir. You don't want to
look at it. The machinery is complica-
ted; it gets out Of order easily; you
have to send clear to Akron for new
piece of gearing; it doesn't cut clean,
and it nearly kills the horse. Jams
their shoulders all to pieces, sir. |
know that reaper, sir. It's an old, old
style, sir, and you don't want it. Now,
here, sir, I can show you a reaper
that" But the sstonished farmer
Just interrupted him to say that he
knew the reaper he mentioned was an
old style, but he was certain that it did
its work well, though, all the same; it
wasn't the kind ne wanted, and he had
no idea OF buying it to work on his farm.
He bought another reaper, blood thirsty
as Cosssck, and red as an autumn sun
set, and the agent told how nicely he
sold reaper to an old fellow who came
in there Just dead set for some old
machine that he had never heard of
before. ..... ..-....

The Crushed Serenader.

went up and old Bogg's, Amelia's father,

"I-I-think we had better-better

mortified Bllkins, and the disguised band

lead better lives, after the thing blew

The imperturbability and extreme
caution Of the average pswnbroker are
proverbisl. On Saturday young man
of an experimental and fscetious turn OF
mind resolved TO sstonish pawnbroker
OF die in the attempt, so entering the
secret shrine he gave the officiating
pontiff ten dollar gold piece, and said,
Well, old man, how much'll you sd-
vance me on thst7 ?" The pawnbroker
tasted, rang and weighed the coin,
dropped little aqusfortis upon it, and
replied, al can let you have four dollars
ON it." "Four Erebuses - cried the
young man; "why, it's worth more"
" Well, yes" answered the pawnbroker,
"the gold is good, evidently, but it is
very old-fsshioned-it was made in 1884
and isn't worth any more than its
weight as old metal. Besides there are
such fluctuations in gold and silver.
I've seen gold up to 2S5 and silver down
to "a; how do l know but that silver
may go up to 2S5 and gold down to 81

mind letting you have five dollars on it,
but don't let the boss know, for he has
the heart disease, and the shock might
kill him." "Gimme seven dollars, and
and I'll take it." said the impetuous
youth; but the pswnbroker shook his
head so sternly that he knew it was no
go, and so, picking up his ten-dollsr
piece, he departed. he returned three
minutes sfterward, and, throwing Down
the same piece, said to the pawnbroker {:
"Say, can you give me two fve-dollar
greenbacks in change for this ~ Ger
tainly, sir, said the pswnbroker, calmly,
and produced the notes. "Yeu sweet

as he pouched the bills, +" that's the same

He replied: "Mr. Lyons, nobody can
guarantee the emperor, but you may be
sure that the emperor will do what tell
you he will do" which l considered as
but another mode of saying that he had
been authorized to do what be had done.
1t is due to Mr.. Davis to say thai l
saw him next morning, at his own house,
before congress met, as coon as l went
into town and told him what had passed
between the French consul and myself.
His answer was: al should concur with
you in accepting these terms but for the
constitutional difficulty. You know
that congress has no jurisdiction over the
subject of slavery" True" said |,
"but that difficulty may be gotten over,
in my opinion, without any violation Of
the constitution. let the bill for the
gradual abolition Of slavery also provide
that it shall not take effect until the
states have, by acts of their respective
legislatures, duly passed, approved and
ratified it, which you know will be just
as good as if passed beforehand, author
izing congress to do the thing. l will not
be guilty of the presumption of offering
such a bill upon my simple RESPONSE
bility, but If may say that you concur
with me l will introduce the bill TO- NOR.
row." He then asked me why the French
government could not deal with the states
in the matter, so as to avoid all consti.
tutional questions. told him I had
put that very question to the French
consul, and his answer was: "France
does not know the states, but she knows
the confederate government and Presi-
dent Davis" @
Mr.. Davis then said: "Wel, 1 must
consult the cabinet, and if they agree
with you 1 will send for you" And
there the matter ended.

Duties of a Queen.

The London correspondent of a Liver
pool paper says: The labors of q queen
are more onerous than those who look
upon royalty as round of pleasure may
believe. For example, it may not be
generally known that during the six
months prior to the departure of her
majesty for Bsveno, about LOO boxes,
containing dispatches from the various
departments Of state, were forwarded to
the queen at Balmoral, Windsor, etc,
for her msjesty's perusal, considers ton,
signature, etc. This statement receive
ed from one in a position to know its
truth. During the last twelve months

foreign Office, day and night, from all
parts of Europe, have been unprecedent.
ed, probably, in any previous adminis-
trstion. The India Office, the war
Office, and the colonial Office have each
contributed enormously to the dis
patches received by the queen, many
hundreds requiring her sign manual.
The duty, moreover, ia not affected by
absence, as, for example, at Bsveno, the
post brings daily heavy bag to the
chateau, while the telegraph supplies
work for the interval"
