An Amusing Scene.

At prayer meeting in one OF the lead
ing churches a few evenings since, q
gentleman, we'll known ns an active and
earnest church member, whose remarks
are always listened to with great interest,
was making a most impressive appeal TO
Ms auditors. He was just proceeding TO
enforce point by illustration, when a
gentleman a few seats in front rose to his
feet, and remarking that no one was oc-
cupying the attention of the meeting,
asked that they join with him in prayer.
The first gentleman, thus sumrnarily
taken off his feet, abruptly subsidized;
the second gentleman prayed fervently,
and though the grave face OF the pastor
was not illuminated with smile, the
auditors could with difficulty restrain
from laughter Both gentlemen who
were the innocent means OF producing
the amusing scene are very deaf; the
second one is also short-sighted, and,
sitting in front of the brother who was
speaking, was wholly unaware that any
one was occupying the attention Of the
meeting. The first gentleman, though
deaf, is not blind, and the facility with
which he sought his seat when his dis
course was interrupted, was not the least
amusing part of the scene.-Dctroif

A Brave Boy.

The youth Of men who have achieved
distinction seldom fails to be interesting,
because it is very apt to show the stuff
they are composed of. An account has
recently been given of the first engage
ment in which Admiral Farragut as boy
took part. 1t was in lS13-Farragut was
only II, and had been less than ID months
in the navy--when the American vessel
Essex was captured by the Phoebe and
Cherub, of the British fleet. He saw the
hostile ships approach with awe. sud
read with preoocious perception, the
hopelessness of the forthcoming combat
in the faces of bis surrounding elders.
He experienced sickening horror when
the first man was torn to pieces by q
shell before his eyes; but felt the steadily
growing hr,nness of his nerves as the
battle deepened. He was actively occu-
pied in carrying orders, serving the gum,
in any service, indeed, that might be re-
Guired, and WIS knocked down the COM
panion way by the corpse of man fall
ing on him, but escaped with few
bruises. He afterward called to sailor
to dodge q ball, and drew him aside,
tuouSH uoe t'dShiy ohout5h W "'o" "
wound in the leg. After the capture, he
went on board the Phoebe, and was so
mortified that he could scarcely refrain
from tears. Observing the pet pig of the
Essex on the enemy's ship, III possession
of young REFER, he claimed it, and was
told that he could have it if he could
beat it's captor. A ring was formed, and
in few minutes the American lad was
pronounced victor. Having been sent
for by the captain Of the Phoebe, he went
into the cabin, was asked to take some
breakfast, and, his chagrin being visible,
WIS encouraged by the British officer
with the words: "Never mind, my little
fellow, it may DO your turn next" 81
hope so" answered the lad, and hurried
out to hide his emotion. Farragut was
the son of Spaniard, native of the

thin coats or coverings, containing much
mineral matter, both of potash and
phosphates. The outer1nost coat is of
but little value. The mill products of
these coverings of the seed are peculiarly
rich in nutriment, and fire -four is robbed
of large percentage of valuable and
nutritious food. Middlings not only
contain more fibrin and mineral matter
than fine -four, but also mere fat. The
fibrous matter, or QUEER ooas, which is
indigestible, forms one-sixth Of the bran,
but not one hundredth Of fine -four.
Wheat contains the greatest quantity of
gluten aud the smallest of starch; rye, a
medium proportion of 10th, while in
barley, oats and corn, the largest pro-
portion of starch and the smallest Of
gluten arc to be found. In practice 100
pounds of flour will make from 1873 to
1877 pounds Of bread, and good average
being 1876 pounds; hence barrel of 1876
pounds should yield 2GG one-pound
