SOLD H1MsELF.-A Correctionville
farmer sold load of corn at that town
the other day. When it was weighed he
slyly stepped on the scales, and then
drove off to unload. When the wagon
was weighed he took good care not to be
in it, and congratulated himself that be
had cheated the buyer in good shape.
The grain dealer called him in and
after figuring up the load, paid him in
full.
As the farmer buttoned up his coat to
20 out, the buyer kindly asked him to
smoke with him, and then talked over
the crops and the price of ;hogs, and the
likelihood of the Maple Valley railroad
building up that way, till the farmer
fairly squirnled in his chair with uneasi-
ness about his chores at home.
At last he could stand it no longer,
and said he must go. The dealer quiet
ly said that was not to be thought Of; that
he had bought the farmer at full weight,
and paid him his own price, and that he
would insist on doing as he pleased with
own property.
The raiser of corn saw that he had in
deed sold himself, IN one sense at least.
He acknowledged his cheat and compro.
missed the affair. Now when he markets
grain he don't stand on the scales

The Old FASHIONED GIRL.-She
Aourished thirty or forty years ago. She
was little girl until she was fifteen.
She used to help her mother wash the
dishes and keep the kitchen tidy, and she
had an ambition to make pies so nicely
that papa could not tell the difference
between them and mammals, and she
could fry griddIe cakes at ten years Of
age and darn Ter own stockings before
she was twelve, to say nothing of knit
ting them herself.
She never said ri can't" and ri don't
want to" to her mother when asked to
leave her play, or run up stairs or down
on an errand, because she had not been
brought up in that way. Obedience was
cardinal virtue in the .old-fasbioned
girl.
She rose in the morning when she was
called, went out into the garden and saw
the dew on the grass, and if she lived in
the country she fed the chickens and
hunted up the eggs for breakfast.
We do not suppose she had her hair
in curl papers, or crimping pins, or had
it Changed" over her forehead, and her
Aounces were no trouble to her.
She learned to sew by making patch
work, and we dare say she could do an
"over and over" seam as we'll as nine.
tenth of the grown up women do now
adays.
The old.fashioned little girl did not
grow into a young lady and talk about
her beaux before she was in her teens,
and was not fancying hero in every
plow boy she met.
She learned the solid accomplishments
as she grew up. She was taught the art
of cooking and housekeeping. When she
got husband she knew how to cook him
dinner.
She did not think she knew as much
as her mother, and that her judgment
was as good as her grandmother's.
And if there be an old-fashioned lit
tie girl in the world to-day, may heaven
bless her, and keep her, and raise up
others like her.

AN OLD VIRGINIA GIANT.-The allu-
sion of recent letter of your Louisiana
correspondent to the old Revolutionary
giant hero, Peter Francisco, reyives many
traditions and "reminiscences of the Won
derful performances and daring deeds of
that extraordinary man. My father re-
Gently deceased at the advanced age of
ninety, we'll remembered him, having
frequently seen him in his native County
of buckingham, and related many anec-
dotes of his striking and perilous adven-
lures and hair-breadth escapes as he
heard the recital fall from tt lips of the
giant himself. He described him as six
feet one inch in height, his weight 260
pounds, his complexion dark and
swartby, features bold and manly, and
his hands aud feet uncommoDly large,
his thumbs being as large as an ordinary
mans wrist. Such was his personal
strength that be could easily shoulder o
cannon that weighed 1,1O0 pounds, and
he had seen him take man in his right
hand, pass over the floor and dance his
head against the ceiling with as much
ease as if he had been doll baby. The
mans weight was 1875 pounds. Partak-
ing of the patriotic enthusiasm of the
times, he entered the American reyolu-
tionary army at the age of sixteen. He
was present at the storming of Stony
Point, and was the first soldier, after
Major Gibbon, who entered the fortress,
on which occasion he received bayonet
wound in the thigh. He was at Brandy
wine, Monmouth and other battles at the
North, and was transferred to the South
under General Greene, where he was en-.
gagged in the actions of the Cowpens,
Camden, Guilford Court House, &c. He
was so brave and possessed such conf
dence in his prowess that he was posi-
lively fearless. He used sword with q
blade five feet long, which he could
WELD like feather, and every swords,
man who came within reach of him paid
the forfeit of his life.--Irom Letter IN

The Bad and Prevailing Habit Of
Swearing.

1t may be grievous truth, but is true
that very many of men and women are
addicted to the use of expletives, some
of which are profane, some simply silly,
some in bad taste, some meaningless, and
all unnecessary if you critizise them
closely. Many men use oaths which are
terrible on their intensity and bitterness,
and yet their utterers have no feelings
which need such language. They will
condemn people to everlasting torment,
curse their eyes, and call down the direst
judgments Of Heaven on persons who
cause them slight annoyance, and when
anything goes wrong with them they will
curse and swear like pirates; and yet
really they would do no man any harm,
and as to sending anybody's soul to hell,
their lives would be miserable if they
thought they had done it.
1T is plain, therefore, that tswearing gen
orally is only habit into which men fall,
and that it by no means indicates that
they are profane in their thought or dis
posed to arrogate to themselves the divine
function of passing eternal judgment on
their fellows. sThe EXPLANATIONS ex-
pressive of wonder or delight or indigna-
ton which women so freely use, and
which serve the purpose of a safety valve
for their feelings, and the darns aud
gollys of the boys, are, in their essence,
about the same. Of course it is foolish
to use them, and their employment is in
bad taste. They do not strengthen the
speech, for they have lost any real mean
lug; their free and careless use has de-
stroyed the force they may once have had.
If men always had at their tongues ends
the fit words to express their ideas and
feelings, they probably would not swear
80 much. But when the right word
doesn't come easily, an oath is handy for
emphasis. That is about all there is in
swearing.
1t can't be defended, for it is a bad
habit; and oaths, beyond question, great
ly disfgure speech, which is most efec-
tive when it is calmest and simplest.
Yet that men took to swearing in very
early period of their developments, is
probably unquestionable; and that they
have gone on in the practice, however
civilized they have become, is a truth
everybody's experience sustain. Chris
tians, or those who nominally profess
Christianity, often swear as much as the
heathens, and probably there was not
more swearing before our era than there
is now. We have even retained some of
the pagan oaths in their exact form, and
to others we have given new forms
learned under Christianity, while we
have manufactured for ourselves an orig
inal supply.-MeaO York Sun.

Four Minister'S Sons.

A story has been going the rounds
of the papers for several years, and was
republished recently in regard to four
young men, SONS of ministers, alleged to
have been killed by one she'll at the Sec
ond Manassas. The following true &C.
count of the deaths Of the parties men
toned, and of the incident which is the
groundwork Of the story, is from the pen
of one who lay between two of those who
were killed, but who with another COM
rade similarly situated escaped unhurt

Professor David Duncan of WoAord Col
lege, and member of Company K, Pal

w. A. McSwain of the South Carolina
Conference, was killed at second Manas-
sas. McSwain was few yards in front
of the regular line cheering the men
when he was struck in the right side by
a piece of shell. After being hit he
lived, perhaps, twenty minutes. I was
with him when the cruel iron entered his
manly breast. heard the last words he
uttered. For some reason, the regiment
was ordered to stop. While lying down,
shell exploded Immediately over Com
pany K. This shell killed Theodotus

-ASt. Louis girl figures out that she
knows perhaps one hundred young men,
in round numbers. Of these she thinks
she knows about thirty intimately, and
of these thirty there are not more than
four whom she would consent to marry
for love or money on the spur of the
moment. 1t may not be pleasant way
of putting it, but what she says is that,
taking hundred young men as they
come and go, only one out of every twen-
ty-6ve can be set down as unobjection-
able and able to make living for him
self and a wife. This leads the newly
married editor of the Philadelphia Times
to gravely declare that useless young
woman does stand chance of growing
up to something or another, but a use
less young man doesn't do that, by any
sort of accident. Young men have got
to make change in themselves in some
way; they are liable to be wanted for
something besides partners for the next
waltz

DRINKING TOO MUcH.-Children are
not apt to believe they drink too much
water, and yet they do. When you come
in the house, painting and thirsty from
play, you will take a tumbler Of water,
and drink it down as fast as you can,
and then rush out to resume play, and,
perhaps repeat the drink. Now the
next time you feel thirsty, try this ex-
pertinent: Take goblet, and slowly sip
it, before it is half gone your thirst viii
be fully quenched, and you will feel bet.
ter for having drank only that which
you need. And again, we are all apt to
acquire the habit of drinking while eat
ing our meals. Animals don't do it, and
it is hurtful to us. Nature gives us all
the saliva we need; and if any one will
chew his food slowly and thoroughly,
and not take a swallow of drink until
through eating, the desire to do 80 will
leave, and he will require only few sips
of water, tea or coffee, after the meal is
finished. This practice, too, will do won.

ton, dyspepsia and sickness.-Gol1en
