A rich man of the dude order of dress
and impertinence attended a charity
fair in Providence. At one of the ta-
bles was young lady noted for her
beauty. The dude hung around the
beauty's table, but bought nothing. At
last the young lady asked, "Wnl you

may buy" "well, then, since you in
sist, should like to buy one of your

a pair of scissors, clipped one, and
handed it to the young man, saying,
some hundred dollars'' He paid. But
1t saddsned him, and he was seen at the
fair no more.

Stopped 10 Hear n story.

Two strangers passed Rowland HIPS
church one day, entered, walked up the
aisle, and finding no seat, stood for a
while, and listened to the sermon. Pres
emily they turned to walk out. Before
they reached the door the preacher said
"But I will tell you story"
This, of course, arrested the strangers,
and they paused, turned again and lis.
tened.
"Once there was man." said the
preacher, "who said that II he had all
the axes in the world made into one
great axe, and all the trees in the world
made into one tree, and could WELD the
axe and cut down the tree, he would make
It into one great whip to thrash those
ungodly men who turn their backs on
the gospel and stop to hear a story"

ACTION OF ALCOHOL ON THE HEART
DR.. NIB. Richardson of London, says he
was recently able to convey considerable
amount of conviction to an intelligent
scholar by simple experiment. The
scholar was singing the praises ofthe 'sruddy
bumper" and saying he could not get
through the day without it, when DIR. Rich
ardson said to him: t'Will you be good
enough to feel my pulse as stand here ?''
He did so. 1 said, sCount it carefully;
what does it say?" ''Your pulse says "a. !"
| then sat down in chair, and asked him
to count it again. He did SO, and said,
"Your pulse has gone down to 7O.' then
lay down on the lounge, and "Willy take
it again9" He replied, "Why, it is only a.;
what an extraordinary thingW then said,
ssWhen you lie down at night that is the
way nature gives your heart rest. You
know nothing about it, but that beating
organ is resting to that extent; and if you
cause in lying down the heart is doing ten
strokes less a minute. Multiply that by
sixty, and it is six hundred; multiply it by
eight hours, and within fraction it is five
thousand strokes different; and as the heart
is throwing six ounces of blood at every
stroke, it makes difference of thirty thou
sand ounces of lifting during the night
When lie down at night without any al
cohol, that is the rest my heart gets. But
when you take your wine or grog, you do
not allow that rest, for the influence of al
cohol is to increase the number of strokes,
and instead of getting this rest, you put on
something like fifteen thousand extra
strokes, and the result is, you rise up very
seedy and unfit for the next days work till
you have taken little more of the 'ruddy
bumper which you say is the soul of man
below" 4.st d 4t-. 1ns- .s,sz-

SHEEP ON WORKOUT LANDS.-Sheep
will eat much larger number of plants and
wild herbs than will cattle or horses, and
for this reason the sheep may thrive where
the COW or the horse might grow poor, or
even starve, and we are inclined to look to
this fact in part for an explanation of the
superiority of the sheep as soil renovator
An old, briery, bushy pasture will often
give sheep a pretty good living, and the
constant browsing of the coarse heritage
inclines to keep it down and give the little
grass there may be better chance to
thrive. Briers and many other weeds, both
annual and perennial. are easily destroyed
by close cropping, while grass under the
same treatment may spread and impIoy e.
and especially so when the manure made
from the consumption of the weeds is dis
tributed where it will Go the grass the
greatest possible good. Chemists have
found that ton Of hay or bushel of corn
are worth for manure about the same,
whether consumed by one animal or anoth-
er. Poultry manure is more valuable than
COW manure, not wholly because poultry
can convert q bushel of corn into better
manure than COW can, but because poul-
try are usually fed. upon richer food than
cows are given. Though sheep may grad
ually improve neglected lands by convert
ing coarse heritage into fertilizing material
for better class of plants, yet to improve
such lands rapidly, grain should be fed
both for the improvement of the land and
to increase the profits from the sheep them
selves. As rule there is no profit in keep
ing any animal poor, and to keep sheep
solely for the improvement Of pastures,
when double profit might be obtained by
high feeding, would be folly indeed. -Neac
ERqland Farmer. -.

MALONE AND SHEPPERD.-The Was
ington correspondent Of the Alexandria
Gazette, under date of May 28th, says:
.From a Virginia Mahoneite in the city
to-day it is learned that General Malone
Intends to make the case of Mr.. Shepperd
test case in the matter of confirming the
Presidential appointments that have been
or will be made in Virginia during the re-
cess of the Senate. Mr.. Shepherd will be
charged with the authorship or the publ
cation of the Democrrtic circular issued in
Virginia previous to the Danville riot, and
on that ground the General hopes enough
Republican Senators will vote against Mr..
Shepherds confirmation to defeat it,, and
thus to establish a precedent for rejecting
all the Others But the General will be
more deceived in this than he usually is in
his ideas about the result of elections in
Virginia, for the Republican Senators have
too many personal favors to ask of the adj
ministration to be antagonizing it in the
matter of Virginia appointments" a.sar

The color question has assumed new
phase in Charlotte, North Carolina, where
a colored church is about to be divided on
account of the animosity existing between
the pure negroes and the mulattoes, or
half breeds, who compose the congregation.
The former are proud of their unadulterated
lineage and wish to have no social affilia-
ton with those whose blood is tainted with
that of the white man. Fred. Douglas,
let alone his white wife, would be as
unwelcome worshipper among them as he
appears to be, when accompanied by his
wife, among the white congregation of
