KEEN REJoINDER.--Mr Buffum, of Lynn,
Mass, was under cross examination by an at,
torney named, who did his best to perplex
and brow-beat him so as to overset the testi-
mony he had given against bis client.
The question was something relating to ma:
chinery, and Mr.. Bufum had used the word
"philosophically" in his evidence. Mr.. Lord
continually harped upon this phrase, and en-
deavored to make the witness ridiculous in
the eyes of the jury. At last he enquired:
"Pray, Mr.. Witness, as you seem to be a
great philosopher, can you tell me philosoph'
ically what the consequence would be if the
air should be exhausted from hogshead %
"Yes, sir" replied Mr.. Buium, "the head
would fall in"
Indeed, sir" pursued the counsel; can you
tell me, philosophically, why the head should
fall in 6rst?
Eyes, sir" returned Mr.. Buffum, "it is be-
cause hogsheads are like some lawyers-their
heads are the weakest part"
The roar Of the court room acknowledged
the victory of the witness over the counsel.

SPEAKING OUT IN DREAMs.-A cores
pondent of the Richmond Dispatch, tells the
following in letter from one of the
Springs:
An amusing incident occurred on the cars
of the Virginia and Tennessee road, which
must be preserved in print. 1t is too good
to be lost AS the train entered the Big
Tunnel, neae-rhis place, in accordance with
the ussn custom. lamp was lit. A servant,
girl, accompanying her mistress, had sank in
to profound slumber, but just as the lamp
was lit she awote;ssd half asleep, imagined
herself in the Internal regi0ns.>~ Frantic with
fright, she implored her Maker to have
mercy on her, remarking at the same time,
"the devil has got me at last" Her mistress,
sitting on the seat in front of the terrified ne
gro, was deeply mortified, and called upon
her-"Mollie, don't make such noise: it is
I, be not afraid" The poor African imme-
diately exclaimed, "Oh, missus, dat you jest
what I spected I always thought if eber |
got to de bad place, I would see you"
These remarks were uttered with such vehe'
mence, that not a word was lost, and the
whole coach became convulsed with laughter.

REMEDY FOR WEAK OR SORE EYEs.-A
correspondent of an exchange gives the fol-
lowing as remedy for weak or sore eyes ::
Get a FIVE cent cake of elder flowers at the
druggists and steep in one gill of soft water
1t must be stepped in bright tin or earthen:
ware. Strain nicely and add three drops of
laudanum bottle it tight and keep in cool
place. Use as g. wash, letting some of it
pet into the eyes, Follow this and relief is
certain. IF the eyes are painful or much
sore, make small, soft congresses, wet them
in the mixture and bind over the eyes at night.
can warrant the above as harmless and sure,
having tried it in number of cases where
other skill and remedies had utterly failed.
If the eyes are badly inAamed use it very
freely. A tea made of elder flowers and
drank will help to cleanse the blood. Pure
rock salt and water will strengthen your eyes
if you bathe them daily in it.

a9- Love is ingenious in reason, or at least
iu pretexts Sometimes they are very fiimsy
ones. Every body remembers the young
lady who assigned as reason for getting
married that she thought a wedding in the
family would "amuse the children" Here is
another little humbug equally as precious.
Bridget" said young lady to her SER
want, Bridget Conley, "who was that you
was talking with so long at the gate, Last
night?'
"Sure, no one but me eldest brother,
ma'am," replied Bridget, with a flushed
cheek.
"Your brother; didn't know you had a
brother what is his name?"
Barney Octoolain, ma'am."
Indeed how comes it that his name is
not the same as yoursf".
"Troth, ms'am," replied Bridget, he has
been married once.''

USING A WHOLE EGG.

A friend told US story few days ago, H.
lustratng the free, generous character OF the
Irish, which we consider too good to be lost,
and therefore, give it to our readers:
Our friends wife being in delicate health, it
was resolved that girl should be procured to
do the house work, that the lady might have
an opportunity to recover her health and
spirits. After visiting an intelligence Office
for two or three mornings, fine, buxom lass
of about twenty years Of age, but six months
from swate Ireland, was selected and instruct
ed as to the duties that would be expected OF
her.
Now, then," says the lady, "pour the
ground coffee into the pot, then pour in the
hot water, and, after few minutes boiling,
put in one-half of an egg, So" and the lady
illustrated each description by demonstrating
"You understand, don't your" says the lady.
"Indade 1 do, num-" was the response: ::
"bile the coffee, grind the wather, and dhroP
in the half of an egg Isn't that it, mum +
"All right" replied the lady. "Now, then,
tomorrow morning we'll see how we'll you re-
member it"
Tomorrow morning came, and the coffee
was as good as could be expected. The third
morning came, and to the astonlshment OF our
friend and wife, the coffee was undrinkable
and nauseating ;even the odor of it was sick
ening. Bridget was called, and questioned
as follows
Bridget, did you first put the ground cof'
fee in the pot"
"Indade I did, num-
ibid you then pour in the hot water p
"Sure l did,"
"How long did you let it boil ?"
"Five minutes, num-"
"What did you do then2"
81 put in the egg, num-" -,
"Just as showed you the other morning :?
"Well, to tell the TRUTH num-" says Brid-
get. giving her garments hitch with her
brawny hands, "to tell ye the truth, would
not put in the half of the egg, as ye tould me,
but the egg was bad one, and thought ye
wouldn't mine about the kaping the half of
it. and so dhropped in the critter as it was"

ARRANGEMENT OF HOUSES. house
should be arranged so as to suit, or even i'm
prove, the habits Of the people who live in it.
1t should be convenient for the carrying out
of domestic arrangements in the simplest and
easiest way 1t should be healthy house ;
otherwise it sadly fails in that which habl'
tation ought to be just as we find that beau,
ty and symmetry in nature 60 for nothing II
the germs of disease are at the root. A mis-
take is often made in not having the bedrooms
of the largest size that the internal space will
admit of, and the value of this is so we'll
known to those who have large sleeping
rooms, that the wonder is that architects
should sacrifice the bedrooms of the house
to those of the dayrooms.- Farmers Rev.ew.
aa~ The best beer is young beef, reaching
its greatest point Of superiority at from two
to three years. The same is true of sheep
and swine A wether, for the best mutton,
should be in market at two years. AS gen.
eral rule, 25O-pound pig is much better in
quality and more profitable than hog that
weighs 500 pounds. The point of apprecla-
ton of quickly maturing animals is being
reached, though somewhat gradually, and 1t
remains to improve the various breeds, es-
pecial regard being taken to carefully select
those animals to breed from that come to
maturity at an early age.
SAVING SEED-.Gather seeds as fast as they
ripen-peas, beans, etc-dry we'll in the
shade and put in bottles with bits of cotton,
dipped in turpentine, scattered through them,
and cork tight. Turpentine effectually de-
stroys the bugs, as we have learned from long
experience.

s9- The boys of Detroit seem to be going
down hill in their morals, of late. On Sun
day one of the legion, who has always been
noted for his respectful demeanor toward the
great public, observed an old citizen yawning
and gaping on street corner, and said to
him "Better not open your mouth too wide"
"Why ?" was the surprised query. "There's
law sgin opening a saloon on Sunday"
continued the sinful child, as he slid for the
middle of the street
