MT. Goober was gentleman who lived in the Mormon country. He had but one wife, and never thought of talk ing any more till one day an elder tackled him andteld him solemnly it was his religions duty to seal unto himself few others. .lFr. Cooler went home and sadly informed his wife of what theelder had said and Mrs. Goober said she would have DO objections provided, the elder would come Found and argue the case with her piously. Goober told the elder, and the elder dropped around. He smiled sweetly as Mrs. Goober advanced to meet him. But, alas that smile was his last-for a week or two. The next thing helznew he was skipping around the room with his coat slit up the back and his hat knocked into pi, while Mrs. Cooler whooped him up with the broom stick. He finally jumped out of win dow and escaped with his life, sadder and wiser man. The next time he met Goobef he told him he had had celestial revelation by which he (Goober) was re- Eeyed from the necessity of taking any more wives. The one he had Mrs. Goo Eber) would count for almost 8 thousand in the New Jerusalem.

'a Telling the Truth.

Es
 There are persons whom you can al- ways believe, because you know. they have the habit of telling the truth. They do not " color ''a story or enlarge bit of news in order to make it sound fine Or remarkable. There are others whom you hardly know whether to believe or not, because they = i" stretch Z things so, A trihmg incident grows in size, but not in, quality, by passing through their mouths. They take small fact or slender bit of news and pad it with add ed words, and paint it with high-colored adjectiyes, until it is largely unreal and gives false impression. And one does not like to listen to folks when so much must be " allowed for shrinkage."

 Next in importance to doing this, cease tortur- ing it, if you have been so foolish hitherto, with horrid pills and draughts that gripe purge avoid eating or drinking anything which you have found increasing the tilious trouble. 1t is astonishing and certainly most agreeable to find how soon after commencing Q course of the Bit ters, the symptoms of liver complaint disappear. The bowels are greatly relieved, digestion inn proves, the sallow tint disappears from the skin, morning nausea, right shoulder blade and side pains cease, the tongue puts of it's furry coat, and the breath resumes it's puritr.- Surely these are desiderata worth trying for.

OATMEAL the children oatmeal at least once day. It is genuine bone and muscle food, and they must thrive. Could our girls make the morning and night meals on real nourishment not pastry-take more to nourish the brain and nerves, we should have less of the neuralgia among our women. Indeed, this oatmeal mush would afford ample food for the last meal, which should ordi- narily be the ightest, simple and easy of digestion, securing good sleep, while it may well form part of the morning meal. Its extensive use would do much to promote health among us.

J when the trees were overladen.
 The apple, on the contrary, if we can put faith in the blossoming of the trees, ought to give us an abundant crop in eastern Pennsylvania. Every tree, it seems, however old andneglected it may be, has been covered with blooms, in fact to such an unusual extent as to cause 1t to be commented on by persons who know nothing about fruit raising. Of late. years, too, it is generally noticed that both the apples and pears are more perfect than formerly. being less injured by insects; and we have no doubt but that this is owing to the incessant labors of the imported house-sparrow. Those who become especially observant of their in dustry for single season must be con vinced of the fact.

CANADA THISTLES,

s=-.4 t CANADA THISTLES. --.-
 From Maine comes the following letter, which certainly seems to point at an easy way of destroying Canada thistIes, and perhaps some other troublesome plants, which are not easily killed by ordinary means: CT commenced farming in 184O on land abounding in certain places on the farm with Canada thistles. One dull day when they were in bloom I was moving a bed of them, and the rain compelled me to leave before I finished the job, but I finished it after the rain. The next year noticed that where I moved before the rain but few started, while on the remainder of the bed full crop sprang up. Several experiments gave similar results. In 1850 I bought a farm, where, in the fields, pastures, yards, and along the roadside, there was rank growth of them. Within ten years subdued them, excepting along the roadside, where small stones pre- vented moving close. My theory is that the rain entering the hollow stalk, destroys vitality.
