Lawrence county, near Smishvills,
whose crops wers. sufferipg for rain.
He was much harrassed and 'perplex.
ed At seeing them % clean, 90 we'll
titled and attended, shrinkisg back
into the earth for the want OF moisture.
He had suffered much in the aesh
"laying by" his crop, the frsits of his
labor were withering before him, aud
made him sore of heart, indeed. No
rain. Clouds would spring up, as-
sume the shape OF . monstcr, leer at
hmm malicisusly, then hurry away,
casting their drops uncharitably on
some thankless forest, leaving the
farmers crop parching in The sun.
One day last week a dark cloud came
lowering over him, he went out Into
the open air, and invoked divine
assistancs--he prayed for the rain to
descend. But it didn't. It foated
laziiy away; whereupon the farmer
grew wroth, and uttered blasphemous
words. He cursed the cloud and the
Giver OF rain ct q terrible rate. He
charged and snorted, lavishing all the
while . prodigal supply Of adjectivea
on the supposed cause of his misery.
Suddenly he stopped with . half ut
tered oath ON his tongue, and stood
aghast. The air around him became
and loaded with sulphurious
odors and rent BY diaboiical shouts
and screams. Satanic faces rose up
around. and Knocked him. q legion Of
devils, duly commissioned and equip
ped, stood by him, struggling to sever
the ineandescent chains which bound
them to adamantine rocks OF fire,
reaching their fiery claws for him, and
Internal exhalations upon
him. Presently there was an unearsh-
ly noise; the devil left him IN charge
of ono old hag, who also vanished,
after pouring some liquid fire down
his throat.
He is now at home, and PAGES the
door incessently-blue flames and
smoke issue from his ears and eyes.
No one can touch him. He neither

Best and Finest in the World /!
MENDELSsoHM PLANO

STANDS WITHOUT AN EQUAL.
These Pianos made one of the finest dis
plays at the Centennial Exhibition, and were
unanimously recommended for the Highest
Honor3.
Professor o. NJ. Newell, the celebrated pi-
anist who received the distinguished honor Of
Gold Medal and Badge from the Centennial
Commits sioners for highest excellence in
piano playing at the great Exhibition, says of
these Pianos: 81 must say that they equal the
best Pianos made by any firm in this city.
For evenness and pure singing quality of
tone they have NO SUPERIOR ANYWHERE.
The continuation of sound after striking a
note is something wonderful in art of scale
drawing"
Pianos sent on trial, and sold on INSTALL
ments Don't fail to write for Illustrated and
Descriptive Catalogue-mailed free.
CAUrIoS.-The Mendelssohn is regularly
incorporated manufacturing company. and the
only house which makes the entire piano, and
sells direct to the purchaser at factory price.
Beware of bogus" pianos offered by dealers
who pretend to be manufacturers. We refer
you to the New York Commercial Agencies,
which will give you reliable information in
regard to them, as well as to our integrity,
character and responsibility.

Feeding for Milk.

A writer in the Southern Farmer
says that his COW gives all the milk
that is wanted in a family of eight,
and that from it, after taking all
that is required for other purposes,
26O pounds of butter were made last
year. This is, in part, his treatment
of the COW: If you desire to get a
large yield of rich milk, give your
COW every day, water slightly warm
and slightly salted, in which bran
has been stirred at the rate of one
quart TO two gallons of water. You
will find, if you have not tried this
daily practice, that your COW will
give twenty-five per cent. more
milk under the effects of it, and she
will become so attached TO the diet
as TO refuse to drink clear water
unless very thirsty. But this mess
she will drink almost any time and
ask for more. The amount of this
drink necessary is an ordinary
water-pailful at a time, morning
noon and night.
