EMBARRASSED.

The Rev. Mr.. was one of the
most bashful men in the profession and
was constantly getting into scrapes
through his nervous mistakes. At one
time he rose in his pulpit to give out
the hymn, "I'his world is all feet
ing show, and after clearing his throat
he struck a high pitch Of voice and be
gan solemnly:
"This world is all floating Shoe"
Everybody smiled except the deacons,
and the minister was covered with con-
fusion as he began again:
"rhis world is all 4 shouting flow. !"
This only made matters worse, and
the unhappy man cleared his throat with
tremendous force and began once again:
"This world is all floating She.
Then he slammed the hymn book
down and wiped his clammy brow said :
Brethren, for some reason cannot
read that hymn as il should be read ;
we will omit il and the choir will please
sing the grand old lines beginning -
Just as am without one flea. ?"

to say, treat their wives as though
they were beasts OF burden, made to
bear children and do drudgery. In.
deed, we have known those with whom
the horse seemed TO be first and the wife
second. Some souls are so cold, selfish
and penurious that to save few dollars
in the wages Of hired help they are will
ing to let their wives break down in
health and TO see their children born
with feeble constitutions in consequence.
Ignorance, doubtless, in many cases,
may be pleaded in palliation of such
cruelty, but ignorance is sin which
God and man may have winkcd at in
the barbarous ages and portions of the
world, but better things are expected
Of husbands in this enlightened country.
The original meaning Of the word
wife is weaver, and 4 farmers wife,
though not now compelled to throw the
shuttle, should be worker but in her
work she should have the sympathy of
her husband, and il is his bounden duty
to see that her ambition does not lead
her to ovcrwork. The unfecling wretch
who, standing At the coffin OF his wife,
said ,--"I would rather have los, my best
cow" would very likely not have been
n widower il he had been as careful Of
his wife as of his COW. He certainly
did not deserve another wife, though
he is said to have secured one in three
months.
II the position OF farmers wife in
wolves peculiar labors and also respon-
sibili,ies, as intima,ed, then she is en-
titled TO peculiar consideration on the
par, Of her husband. II she is emphat-
ically 4 partner in his business, she
should be consulted in all business mat
tiers, and her advice treated with all pro-
per respect. The days have gone by
when a woman has no rights in the con
duct Of business which 4 husband is
bound TO respect. There is not so un-
selfish, and at the same time so inter
csted, 4 counselor for any man as his
wife, and We are persuaded that those
business men are most successful who
confde their affairs TO their wives and
ask their advice. II this is the case in
complicated mercantile and manufactur-
ing business, with which women are
not expected to be familiar, much more
is it true in farming, with which, in
some of its branches At least, the wife
has much 10 do.
When we find that young farmer
has secured wife, and treats her as a
partner in his business, we feel far more
confidence in his success than when he
is backed up by rich father or 4 large
capital. and we are confident that many
Of the mistakes we have known farmers
to make would have been avoided il they
had taken their wives into ;heir coun
sells. There is no hcnpecking in this ;
it is the part of wisdom, and whatever
is wisdom's par, is true manhood.

To steal kiss, that's fair.
To buy kiss, that's stupidity.
Two girls kissing, that's waste
To kiss your wife, that's correct.
To kiss not At all, that's bad taste.
To kiss another man, that's nasty.
To kiss your sister, that's necessity
To get caught kissing, thaf'sdreadful-

To kiss an ugly woman. that's courage

ONLY One Life,

Too many farmers appear to be
only skirmishing around during the
present life without any Of the real
enjoyments which this world offers
to every one who will gather them.
In the first place, if he does not
marry a good wife land there are
plenty of them running around
loose) the fatal mistake is made
which can never be rcmedied. If a
man intends to be farmer, and
through that channel of industry
enjoy all the pleasures and com,
forts of life, he should surround
himself and family with as many of
the conveniences of life as his
means and industry can command.
He should keep in mind that on his
farm and with his fam lily lie the
best place for contentmsnt and hap
pIness. And the best way to be
happy is to make his family happy
and his home pleasant. Every hour
needlessly spent away from the
home of domestic happiness is just
so much lost in the great sum OF
life's comforts. One life, one home,
one wife, one aim and one end to all
life's struggles and hopes. Without
work is a burthen and
life a failure.

Men Who Win.

1t is not the men OF great talents
often who do the great work Of the
world. 1t is the men who have
trained their working powers the
best. The greatest engineer of En-
gland was man of only medium
talents; but he was giant in prin-
ciples. He gave himself wholly to
it when task was to be done. If a
mountain was to be pierced and a
railway made through it's heart;
if an ''impracticable and impossi-
BILE" bridge was to span a chasm or
valley, he would shut himselfup for
a few days in his room, and scarce
ly eat or sleep while he turned the
matter over and over in his mind.
At the end he would come out
smiling, with his plans clearly laid
and his hand ready to work and
carry them out. Those who wish
to be great men and women, in the
truest sense, must learn to be great
workers, both with brain and hand.
The two must go together, or they
will accomplish nothing of impor-
lance either to themselves or the
world.
Train the working power to its
utmost capacity if you desire to
make your mark in the age in which
you live.

New Variety of Cotton.

The Macon ga Telegraph tells
US of a new variety eff cotton which
is seedless and therefore needs no
ginning. We copy the following
account Of it:
This new cotton is the result of a
long and careful experiment by
Mr.. Amos A. Subers, merchant of
East Macon, a gentleman whose
veracity we cannot call into ques-
ton, who assures us it is all that is
claimed for it. Mr.. Subers says it
was produced by hybridization of
the wild cotton, which grows along
the low lands and banks of the Ca
loosahatchie river, in Florida, with
the common okra of our vegetable
gardens.
The result of hybridization is a
wonderful stride of progress. In
appearance the plant retains the
stalk of the familiar okra, and in
foliage the leaves of the common
cotton plant, but in its fruiting re-
sembles neither. 1t grows to the
height of two feet and has one
beautiful bloom at the top, which
resembles the magnolia flower in ap-
pearance, size and color. The
blooms remain white for two days,
and then beginning with a delicate
pink, gradually change to a dark
red, when they drop off, and then
appears a most wonderful boil. For
week this boil resembles that of
the ordinary cotton, and then con-
tinues TO grow until it reaches the
size of a gallon tin bucket
The lint then begins to grow, but
is held in place by the long okra-
like points. When fully matured
more oft can be picked by com
mon hand in one day than six hands
can pick Of ordinary cotton.
The lint has no SEED, and hence
the ginning is dispensed with. The
bolls produce from one and a half to
two pounds of fine, long staple cot
ton. In the bottom of the boil
from four to six seeds, resembling
persimmon seeds, are found.
The many advantages of such an
cotton are so numerous and Imani
fest that we do not enumerate them.
Mr.. Subers will give any informa-
tiOn concerning his wonderful plant
upon applications containing stamp
for reply.

Treatment of Dipthsria.

The Medical Press says that DIR.
Deuker, who, during twenty -four
years of very extensive practice in
the Children's Hospital, st. Peters
burg, has treated upward of two
thousand cases of diptheria, and
tried all the remedies, both internal
and external, employed in this affec
ton, has obtained the best results
from the following method, which
he has employed for the last ter
years. AS soon as the white spots
appear on the tonsils he gives s
laxative mainly composed of SIENNA
which produces an abundant evacu
I.tion. When the purgative effect
has ceased he gives cold drinks
acidulated with hydrochloric acid
and every two hours a gargle com
posed of lime water and hot milk in
equal parts DR.. Deuker afIirmi
that when this treatment is com
menced it is generally and rapidly
i successful.

Habits, whether good or bad, are
easily formed when one is young,
but when one gets on in years it is
terribly difficult and oftentimes
dangerous to set them aside. There
fore study well, if you would
live long, to be regular in your
habits of life in every way, and let
your regularity have a good ten
dency. 1t was the German physi-
ologist Hoffman who summarized
the means of reaching great age
as follows: avoid excess in ev-
erything; respect old habits, even
bad ones; breathe pure air; adapt
your food to your temperament /;
shun medicine and doctors; keep 8
