An Important Moral Invention.
NY. World.

N. Y. World.
A Charleston moralist has made q
most important discovery, which will
revolntionize some OF the evils of soci-
ETY.. For many years the Church has
arrayed itself against dancing as dan
gerous, demoraliz'ng pastime. The
Charleston moralist has made the dis
covery that the immortality OF dancing
springs from the fact that men have to
catch hold of women when they dance,
and he logically arrives at the conclusion
that il they had something to catch hold
of that was not woman the danger
would all be obviated, and dancing
might be conducted even at vestry meet.
ings and revivals without the slightest
fear OF immortality.
Acting upon this suggestion be has
invented knob or handle, which is sf-
fixed TO the female dancer as it is affixed
to door. She can wear it on q bell
and her partner can seize it without fear
Of coming in contact with her person =
Knobs can be made of brass, nickel, por-
celain or silver, and il KEEP. we'll polished
will add pleasant effect to the person.
The introduction of these useful ap.
pendages into the moral circle OF Charles
ton society is said to have given great
impetus to social intercourse A young
lady can now offer her knob to young
gentleman with no fear of impropriety
and late Improvement by which ar
electric bellis attached enables any one
in society who wishes to chat with her
to announce himself properly,
The statement, made undoubtedly by
Interested parties who have failed to get
patents on knobs, that wherever they
have been introduced dancing as pas
time has declined, is not to be believed
Ole can not give up his faith 10 the pro-
prieties 80 essily as that.

CUT CORN.
How 1t May BE Removed to Make Room
for Another Crop.

How 1t May BE Removed to Make Room
for Another Crop.
It often happens that a farmer would
like to use his corn field the same sea-
son for wheat or rye; or he might pre-
fer to have the cut corn removed from
the ground for the purpose of standing
it in a more convenient place for husk-
ing and taking care Of the slower. But
if he never did such q Job. or if he
once managed it at q disadvantage, he
will be apt to think it so formidable
and expensive an undertaking that he
will let it 90. although the field might
with little more tillage do about as
we'll for the winter grain as would the
u,mmcr fallow which had received the
seasons tillage expressly 10 fit it for
one of them. Nevertheless. good work
men say they can harvest the corn
quite as fast by drawing it off as in the
usual way. 1t car be cut and dropped
into gavels much faster than to carry
and set up each handful in shock.
Moreover. experience proves that corn.
if stood we'll packed up to a straight
fence, making a heavy body of it in a
continuous line, without stopping to
bind it all. will stand. cure and keep
better than when standing in shocks in

fodder, and often such c~orn-stubble. II
the crop received good tillage. will
with a little more cultivating (without

seed-bed again.
10 carry out this plan most econom-
ically l would prefer to have the field
only TWENTY-FIVE or thirty rods wide
with a straight fence along each side
to stand the corn to. Have a truck
wagon with long reach and strong
plank-bottom to draw the corn OF
with. then cut three rows at a time and
drop into a straight row of gavels OF
about the size that a stout hand can
conveniently handle. Have a boy to
drive, and say two men to lit the corn.
place it straight and even across the

the corn-butts toward it; when the
