THE GREAT YOUNG FARMS.

These farms are located near Middle
town in the vicinity Of Harrisburg, and
this description Of them is taken from
Pennsylvania exchange: alt is worth
while to visit Middletown now to see
in their most radiant condition the re-
markable line of farms owned by Col.
James Young. The crops are all in the
most promising condition, and the yield
will be second TO no previous year.
Grass, grain, ETC., are most luxurious.
These farms are recognized as the finest
in this country. The management Of
them seems to have about reached per.
fiction. There is no waste land, no
soggy sections, no imperfect fences, no
weeds, no unsightly aspects about the
buildings, but everywhere order reigns
in perfection. The Duke of Sutherland
was Delighted on the occasion of his visit
there some time ago, and admitted that
he had expected to see no such agricul.
tural perfection in this country. His
deligh, ran into admiration Of the pro.
prietor, and he insisted on Col. Young
visiting him in England and enjoying
his hospitality.
"Some Of the fields on this estate are
farms in themselves. There is one Of
100 acres of most promising wheat. The
crops now out embrace 3Io acres Of
wheat, 4Io Of grass, aSo Of corn, s7o Of
oats, - Of tobacco, II Of potatoes, etc.
There are II farms and full sets of farm
buildings, I3 barns, and the whole body
embraces LAO acres Of land, running
along the pike = miles. The different
farms are known as Sunset" "Locust
Grove" "Grand view," eagle"
"Thorndale," keystone" "whi.e
Hail." "Rosedale," "Youngport,"
"Siding," "Oak Lane, Roland and
"Evandale. Some of the farm land
is within the borough Of Middletown.
"rhe last year there were s43 head Of
fat cattle fed on the farms. The herd
Of Alderney, embracing 46 pure bread
animals, number Of them imported,
is said to be the finest in this country,
with reputation from Maine to Texas.
Col. Y. receives orders for young stock
from all sections, much beyond his abil-
ity TO ill. He has recently been Of
tered So, 600 for five cows. The animals
are groomed and cleaned like race horses,
and as they stand in their stalls look rs
il they might be the subjects Of daily
bath.
"Atpresent there are 81 hands employ
cd on the different farms, which num-
Der will necessarily have to be greatly
increased through hay-makine and har-
vest.
"Wewish some ofour Baltimore county
farmers would make a visit to Middle
town; il would certainly pay them to
take look at these farms, and from
what we have learned Of Col. Young
and his son, the visit would certainly be
gratifying and much valuable informa-
ton gained"

H@He was a shrewd grocer; and,
when the lady who was going to have

the grocer sold six barrels Of cheap vim

store. And, though they were all pret-

he had given them what they had called
for, and then to say anything would be

MARRIED OVER AGAIN.

About ten o'clock one morning recent
ly, a colored man over eighty years Old,
accompanied by his wife, who passed
three score and ten, appeared on Girls
void street arm in arm, and inquired the
location of a Justice of the Peace. They
were properly directed and as they sat
down in the little court room the old
man took off his rusty hat, helped his
companion to remove her old-fashioned
bonnet, and then said:
'"Squar', de ole folks hez cum down
yere to git mar'd."
'yFo get married?'
''Dat's de truf, 'Squar'."
'sBut aren't YOU husband and wife

''An' Ben has been good to me-he

her wrinkled cheek.
"Well, stand up, )" whispered his Honor,
and when they were on their feet he put
the usual questions and pronounced
them man and wife, When he had ended
old Ben put his arm around his newly
made wife and kissed her as their tears
wet each others cheek. Then she put
her hand on his shoulder, looked up into
his face and said:

Fun AT HoME.-Do not be afraid of a
little fun at home, good people. Do not
shut up your houses lest the sun should
fade your carpets, and your hearts lest
a laugh should shake down few musty
old cobwebs that are hanging there.
Young people must have fun and relaxa
tion somewhere; if they do not find it at
their own hearthstones, they will seek it
at other and less profitable places.
Therefore let the fire burn brightly at
night in Winter, and let the doors and
windows be cheerfully thrown open in
Summer, and make the homestead de-
lightful with all those little arts that
parents SO well understand. Do not re-
press the buoyant spirit of young chill
dren. Half an hours merriment at home
blots the remembrance of many a care
and annoyance during the day; and the
best safeguard that they can take with
them into the world is the unseen infiu-
ence of the bright little home sanctum.

| Putting the note in an envelope, he di
rected both of the epistles, and sen
them on their respective missions.
''Why should Sam want to borrow
money of his uncle p said pretty Viole
Elliott, as she read the note taken from
the envelope directed to her.
''But this note was not intended fol
me; Sam has put it into the wrong ell
velope OF course he would not have had

seal it up, and get Jim to send it to Mr..
Hilton;n and she did So

have too much regard for her health TO
send it to her. said Uncle Dan, as he
read the note he had taken from the en-
velope addressed to him, and then threw
both into the fire.
An hour later came the real note from
| Sam, and the old gentleman swore he
wouldn't lend him dollar, or let him
enter his house, or receive a note from
him or anybody else; and he kept his
word.
Violet did not say a word about the
the blunderer did not find out what a
mistake he had made. She would not
let him know that she had read the con-
tents of note not intended for her, in
consideration of the delicate topic upon
which it treated. Sam was duly aston
ished when his uncle refused to see him.
In fortnight Violet Elliott was pros
trated by the prevailing malady, which
appeared in her case in its worst form.
She recovered, but by the inattention of
her nurses, she was sadly disfigured.
'The Internal young reprobate! see
it all now" exclaimed Uncle Dan,
as he sat over his parlor fire one day.
''Sain intended that note for me, sent it
to Violet, and she has taken the disease
from it, The careless young devil
Hah y and Uncle Dan jumped out of his
chair, as a pea jumps out of hot skill
let-"he fumigated the note intended
for her; he didn't fumigate mine. Con-
found him I'll fumigate him!''
And he did do it. When the old gen
tleman died only three years late, it was
found that he had disinherited Sam, and
strangely, as everybody thought, given
Violet Elliott twenty thousand dollars.
She had vicariously suffered, been pitted,
had her beauty ruined. 1t was hand
some of Uncle Dan, but it was just; for
since Violet's fair face had been spoiled,
Sam had deserted her. But she married
better man than he, and her husband
thought her pretty, in spite of her pitted
face.
Sam was astounded and confounded
at the strange turn things had taken;
but there was SO much intelligence dis
played in the course of the events, that
he was compelled to believe that Uncle
Dan had fathomed his wicked purpose
which shows how dangerous it is to have
wicked purposes.

A PRECIOUS STONE FOUND IN
GEORGIA.

Near Norcross there resides an old
German geologist who loves to live
among the peculiar specimens OF mineral
and vegetable matter which he has un-
earthed and housed. He is an elderly
gentleman of little sociability, but OF
great mental requirements. His physi-
cal endurance is simply astonishing.
For days at a time he wanders over the
hills and through the dales near his
home. collecting rocks and stones, limbs
of roots, the properties and qualities OF
which are unknown to all but himself.
The room in which his collection is is
wonderful. In one receptacle are ar
ranged a number of stones whose bright
rays remind the observer of diamonds.
In the centre of this long room there
rests stone half the size of a hens egg,
which was picked up by the owner
months and months ago. 1t was found
by its owner one rainy afternoon. For
nearly week he had been on tramp
through the hills and dales near his
home, and, weary with his ceaseless toll
he was vending his way home when his
eyes fell upon something from which
the rays of the sun were scattered in
thousand directions.
With little thought of what he was
doing, the geologist stopped down and
picked up the object. 1t was nearly
half the size of a hens egg, and of an
irregular shape. Itwas covered in many
places with thick, heavy clay, which
| was removed with great care.
1t was found to be exceedingly hard.
and whenever struck with hard sub
stance gave forth but little sound. 1t
was almost colorless with now and then
a tinge of green. Its form was that OF
an octahedron, but some of the faces or
sides were inclined to be convex, while
the edges were curved.
1t was subjected to acids and alkalies
without experiencing any perceptible
change.
| Some friends induced him to place it
on the market, and only day or two
ago he received letter from diamond
dealer in New York, offering him $46,O 900
for it.-Atlanta Constitution.

GALLANT DEEDS.


The dispatches from Alexandria en-
large upon the wonderful devotion and
extraordinary bravery Of the gunner on
| board one of the British vessels who
picked up shell with a burning fuse
and immersed it in bucket of water.
This was courageous act, but it was
not more gallant than anything of the
sort ever before chronicled.n During
our own war for the Union hundreds of
cases as deserving of mention occurred.
| At Stone River when Crofts Brigade
of Palmer's Division was pursuing the
routed rebels on the 2d of January, they
came suddenly on a reserve battery that
opened on them with surprising fury.
| The men We're ordered to lie down, and
! dropped in the soft mud of a cornfield.
The rebel artillerymen had the range,
| however, and poured shot and shell into
the advance line in way that tore some
unfortunates to pieces and covered
nearly everyone with mud. In the midst
of the terrific fusilade a shell struck be-
/ tween two men lying fiat upon the
ground, so near to their heads as to stun
both. Dozens of men, the bravest there,
closed their eyes in anticipation OF the
terrible scene that would follow the ex-
plosion. But one of the soldiers at
whose shoulder the smoking shell had
struck, digging up handful of mud
held it aloft for moment while he said
coolly, s'Ten to one, boys, she don't
bnst,n and then with a sort of gleeful
agility he brought his great wad of mud
down on the shell smoking in the shall
low hole, and she didn't bust" No one
thought George Hunt, of Company G.,
First Kentucky Infantry, a hero for
doing that, but possibly he ranked as
high as the courageous gunner on the
Alexandria.
Another case: When Sherman was
getting ready for his move ON Atlanta,
great quantities of ammunition were
stored in the railroad sheds at Resaca.
One day, in the midst of a thunderstorm
that dismanteled the camp, the ammuni-
tion building was struck by lightning.
| Hundreds of the bravest soldiers ran
away eio uilC sew eAiS COzAND VI
shells thrown about, saw the guards
drop as if shot, and saw smoke issuing
from the top of the great pile of explo-
sves But one man. cleareyed and
cool-headed, saw that the smoke came
from tow in which the shells were packed,
and, climbing to the top, seized the burn
ing mass, and holding it up, shouted,
''All right, boys; no fireworks this time. y
His intrepidity and alertness saved the
ammunition and possibly many lives,
and his record should be kept as green
as that of the gallant gunner of the
1 Alexandria.
These are only sample cases The
American war for the Union brought
hundreds of such gallant deeds into clear
light, and there is no good reason why
they should be forgotten.
