The last time I was In New York, Eli
Swearingen, who.used tolive in Wheeling,
told me about two Kentuckiars who ar.
rived in the city on a Sunday. and stopped
at the St. Nicholas Hotel. twas their first
visit, aud SO next morning, having slept
late, one Of them got up and opening out
the shutters looked out on Broadway, aud
soon took in the endless procession Of We
hicles aud people on the street below. OF
course he was non.plussed at first what 10
make OF It, but the explanation at last oc-
cured TO him from 8 Kentucky stand

Among the first scquaintanCes to call
after supper was the genial Sargent OF the
Barbour Jeger,OniaD, candidate at large for
Governor. There was 8 Barbour JefeT-
soniqn published In Phillip before Sargent
struck the town. One the recollections
Of my former visit was the sight Of Q
SQUAD OF soldiers vandalizing among its
type on the day after the battle, trying to
get even with the yamoosed editor
Tor having left suddenly, Just as
red hot secession issue OF his paper
was ready for the press. They pied the
forms very BADLY, and they staid pied un-
til Sargent came along and took up the
snapped thread oftheir Democracy and
knit It on 10 somewhat changed set Of
ideas. Sargent Is one of the inevitable
Ohio men you meet everywhere, and un-
fortunately he propagates the "0hio idea"
in West Virginia. But for this unIor-
tunate circumstances we could look with
some complacency on his gubernatorial
aspirations. 1t is written, however, that
"a mans foes shall be those OF his own
household" and Sargent has his Nemesis,
l am happy to say. His good wife Is
Radical. This is even SO, "ior he himself
hath said it."

yillsge, Just as there was the other time
we entered, for tomorrow was TO be the
first day OF court, and the first dizzy Of
court draws in Barbour as only q circus

At the time OF our former entry there
were soldiers in the street. No court days
then in Barbour -"Inter arms silent

Il is colder at Phillip than at Wheeling,
for the journey is up and up all the time,
and the air was quite frosty as We alighted
at the Virginia House. But soon mine

Aud yet he came from North New Jersey.
He docks his horses flowing tails,
He drives an English cart, with Buttons;
His beard is like the Prince Of Wales,
His eye-glass like the Earl Of Mutton's.
His satin scarf is Ok ford blue,
And cut-away his English coat is,
And when he speaks, oh, English, teo,
The difficulty i'll his throat is.
He calls his cousins dresses "trocks,"
And rides upon IN English nag

MORALITY NOT RELIuIoN-Rev. W.
L. Pressly, of Due West, preached an ad-
mirablc sermon in the Baptist church on
last Sabbath morning, from Romans xii: 8
-"Clcave to that which is good" He
started out with the declaration that "mo.
ralty is not piety," and showed the utter
Worthlessncss Of morality as Il substitute for
religion. He highly approved of dignity
and truth and fidelity in all the common re.
latons of life, but none of these things will
serve instead of that godliness which is con
tentment and peace and joy and salvation
The thin guise of earthly morality with
which We blind and deceive our fellows vii!
not stand the test of trial when we comc to
answer for the deeds done in the body
Morality is not inconsistent with religion
indeed there can be no true piety without
morality; but morality without religion is
dead. Mr.. Prcssly isa most forciblc preach.

A Dou CRAzED BY GRIEF.-A family
who formerly lived near here, emgrated to
Kansas about year ago, leaving behind
them an old dog, named Dash. Dash had
been brought up in the family from puppy
hood he had kept faithful watch every
night in winter and summer weather, and
he was deeply attached to his MASTER
Dash was not ugly in disposition, and he
Disseminated instinctively between the wan
dering reprobate, whose presence in the
ncighborhood was disagreeable, if not dan
gerous, and the substantial citizen out for a
walk or drive. Whether indifference or
lack of means caused the proprietor of Dash
to 60 away without him is not knwn.-
After his masters departure Dash seem

treated by relative Of his former owner
he grew moping and respondent. lie would
sometimes run down the road to meet an
approaching team, and look up anxiously at
those in it, as if expecting to see we'll
known face. When spoken 10 in plying
tone, or patted and caressed, he would turn
mp his mild eyes with mute appealing
glance, and his tail would wag in hopeless,
forlorn way. At length it became evident
that the dogs brain was affected. Was he
crazed by grief, or was he in the imbeciity
Of old age? The writer is inclined to the
former opinion. At any rate it was judged
best to kill him, and single bullet put an
end to the life and the wretche1ncss of poor

A CAT AS A MEDIUM.-Somo of our
readers may already have seen the following,
but it is so good we connot resist giving it /:
A bashful young peasant was greatly capti-
waited by the charms of pretty girl in his
own station Of life. He was exceedingly
anxious to ask her to marry him, and had
often resolved to do so, but 50 far his cour-
age had always failed him when the oppor-
tunity arrived. However, one night he
resolved to hear his fate in spite Of
his modesty, so he started off to spend
the evening with her. When he ar
rived to his JOY her parents were from
home, aud she was seated knitting ut the
kitchen fire, with large grey cat lying at
her feet. Jamie sat down beside her, but
not word could he say till at the end of
half an hour he inwaIdly resolved to "finish
his business )" so acting on ':bappy
thought" he placed the cat upon his knee,
and stamered out:
PUSSY, ask Lizzie will she marry me ?"
Lizzie blushcd aud smiled, but managed
to say:
"Pussy, tell Jamie I'll take him."

AN Iowa ENocu ARDEN.-Enocb
Arden has been outdone in Council Bluffs,
Iowa. Some time prior to the war young
couple met and loved. After short court
ship they were married and lived happily
together. When tho war broke out the
husband shouldercd a musket in defense of
his country. Letters came regularly for a
time, and then ceased. Word was sent
home that he had been taken prisoner, and
soon after, the dread news came that he
was dead. Tie news was considered so
authentic that the government allowed the
widow and her children pension. After
reasonable time she listened to the plead.
ings of another suitor and married him.
The second husband proved to be a worth
less drunkard, and she got divorce on the
ground of intemp, rance. Not content with
her bad luck sh concluded to marry again,
her third being even worse failure than
her second husband. After the third had
abandoned his home, the first husband un-
expcctedly turned up and resumed his re-
sponsbilities.

VARIETY OF CRops.-There is perhaps
nothing that would tend more to advance
our agriculture than a general disposition
among farmers to diversity their industry by
enlarging the varicty,of their crops. There
6tflsseAh; raudH IS always easy to add to The
assortment of farm products, either by in
Producing commodities that are entirely
new, or by reviving and improving the cui
ture of some that have been comparatively
neglected. Every new commodity that far.
mers can successfully raise and profitably
sell, tends to diminish the uncertainty OF
their business, and to increase the average
profit. 1t also diminishes the liability to
injurious competition, and by adding to the
resources of the farm makes the owner a
more independent man. Mixed husbandry
is undoubtedly, as a rule, the surest and
safest system to follow, and in the long run
the most profitable. Special farming is
always more or less hazardous, as the in
creased risk involved in it is usually out of
all proportion to the prospective gain The
great point of difference between the two
systems may be very briefly stated. Special
farming is game of chance mixed hus.
bandry is game of skill. The man who
devotes his acres mainly to one or two crops,
runs thegauntlet of SO many chances that he
becomes rather a speculator than farmer.
But he who pursues intelligently system
of general farming, including varied as.
sortment Of products, plants his business on
n broad foundation, and has tie chances of
success nearly all in his favor.
Among the products Of agriculture can
always be found various articles of utility
and value that are only occasionally raised
by farmers, but which, if the market price
were little higher, or the cost Of produc-
ing them little less, could be at once
widely and pro6tably cultivated, and farm
crs would gladly avail themselves of the
opportunities if pric IS were matter in their
control. Now, in reference to such articles
of production as these, although it may be
true enough that the producer cannot al
ways determine tho market price, yet it is
equally true, and even more important, that
ne can In many cases do what is perhaps
still better, he can reduce the cost of pro.
cuction, and this, in the end is gain for
the public as well as for the farmer. If, by
thus reducing the cost, he succeeds in se-
curing for his new producta fair and remu-
neratlvc profit at current prices, he rises at
onco to the position of successful man
and public benefactor, for he establishes
new line of industry, and extends the
boundaries of his vocation.
Again, whenever q new and important
use is discovered for any Of the regular pro-
ducts Of the farm sufficient to materially in
crease the demand for it in the general
market, this gives at once an additional
value to such commodity, and adds another
source of profit to the regular business of
the farm.-iS Station Record.

ADAM AN AMERICAN IT is is indeed a
progressive age. The aston, hing discov-
cry has been made by an cl.inent philologist
of Europe, DR.. Rudolph Falk, that the
Progenitor Of the human race, father Adam,
was IN Anarioan. and he has really commu.
nicated the result of his researches to u
newspaper of Vienna. Rev. Joseph Will.
der, d. d., pastor of the Union Congrcga-
tional Church, Brooklyn, says he can see
no reason why Adam should not have been
an American. The question whether Adam
was Yankee or Southerncr seems not to
be definitely settled, tho the hypothesis
alleged to be, is in favor of his being a
Southern man. DR.. Falk says that he has
always argued that Noahs Ark was built
in South America, and that it foated away
from West to East, about six thousand
miles; and that Charleston is in direct
line with Mount Arrarat, a tortiori Adam
may have been placed in tho garden of
Eden on the American continent. How
vain are the spcculatious of finite mortals

THE Cost OF PApER.-Tt may not be
uniuteresting to newspaper readers to lcaru
that the price of print paper has advanced
nearly fifty per cent in the last two months.
This item of expense in getting out a news
paper is very large one, and with the ad-
vance in price, alluded to, added, the cost
to the. publisher of each paper issued is
probably as much as it sells for. Newspa-
per readers and patrons need not expect
publishers, under these circumstances, to
continue to furnish papers at the low prices
that now exist. Prices of subscription must
advance, which is the proper way OF meet
ing the situation and in case they do pa
irons should not grumble. A merchant
may increase or lower the prices on his
goods to meet rising or falling market
Newspaper publishers hardly ever increase
their prices to patrons, but when such ma.
terial rise in the cost of paper takes place
as that now in existence We do not see how
they can help doing so.-AHctnta Post.
