them alone for while, and then, like mud

No charity should be extended to those
who are not as willing to do justice as they
are to receive it.

immigration to the State of MICHIGAN
was so great during the years 1866 that
every public house was filled every night
with travellers wanting lodging. Every
traveller there at that time will remonbcr
the difficulty Of obtaining bed in the
hotels, even if he had two or three strange
bed fellows.


The Rev. Hosea Brown, a Methodist
minister, stopped one night at one of the
hotels in Ann Arbor and inquired if he
could have a room and bed to himself.
The barkeepcr told him he could, unless
they should be SO full as to render it neccs,
sary to put another man in bed with him.
At an early hour the reverend gentleman
went to his room, locked the door and
soon retired to his bed and sunk into a
comfortable sleep.


Along toward midnight he was aroused
from his slumbers by loud knocking at
his door,


Halo! you, thcre!" he cried, "what
do you want there now?'-particular stress
on the last word


You must take another lodger, sir, with
you" said the voice Of the landlord.

Why, yes; there is only one in here is

natural and proper. But the phenome-
ma which we cannot comprehend are
these: The gentleman carries a piece OF
burning tobacco in his mouth, and talks
through his smoke, while the lady has
nothing in her mouth except a set Of
nice teeth and pretty little tongue.

be breath-sweetener for the gentleman,
why not sweeten the lady'sP


Possibly he has bad breath, rotten
teeth, or a foul stomach, that requires to
be kept out of smell, il not out Of sight
There may be something about him that
needs a stronger smudge to conceal.
Then why should she not be so careful
to Keep her offensiveness at home?


Our eyes have never yet witnessed the
spectacle of both parties smoking at the
same time. But why should this not be

of love and tobacco, the adoring lover,

from her mouth, brushes off the ashes,
walks to the spit-box and back a few

And, written where the sun should De-
Translated by the rain TO me,

Where summer breezes used to pass
And in the sound hear the throe

Summed up in the one word-Alas J
And over there upon the hill,


Ben cath a webb Of tangled grass,
A buried form that once was dear,
A fair life blotted with a tear,

Then sleep till I've had sleep enow.

Farmers say this has bean an unusu-
ally favorable winter to them. The
weather was cold, but it was generally
dry, and for long time the ground was
we'll covered with snow. Live stock eat
up their rough feed clean and thrived
upon it. The cold weather gave them
good appetites, and the weather being
dry. no feed was trampled in the mud
and wasted.


The ground has been frozen almost
constantly since the opening Of winter,
and much of the time covered with
snow, SO that the wheat and grass have
been protected from the alternate freez-
ings and thawings which do these i'm
portant crops 80 much harm some win.
ters. We are informed by farmers
whose means of observation are good,
that the wheat crop in the section of
country adjacent to Wheeling, is in the
best possible condition at this time, and
that, if it meets with no misfortune here
after. the yield per acre must be
very satisfactory. The same can
be said of the grass crop
both meadow and pasture. Cattle have
been chesply wintered, and both beef
cattle and milk cows are in good demand
at fair prices. Sheep wlntered we'll, and
the prospects for remunerstiee price
for the wool, this season, are brighter
and Frightening.


The recent rains have been OF great
value to the wheat and grass, and they
have not been so cold as " be very hard
on sheep and cattle. Altogether, the
farmer mas much to encourage him IN
his crop prospects. Attention TO his
business, economy and industry 10 its
management, and all intelligent obser-
vance of the fluctuations of the markets,
taking care to avail himself OF their
most favorable phases, will drive "hsrd
times" from the door of him who tills

VIVA, of the Iruit? That we cannot
tell. We had such an immense crop OF
apples last year that it is hardly ressona-
bic to expect another heavy crop this
YEAR. Few orchards bear full crops
every season. Some suggestions
have been made that the exceeding cold
weather of the winter has killed the trul:
by feezing the bearing twlgs. This may
be the case in some particularly exposed
localities. but We doubt whether it Is
generally so. II is certain that the buds
have not been killed by premature swell
ing this spring, rs was the case last
spring with some varieties Of fruit.


The severe freezing that the ground
has bad this winter and the absence OF
soaking rains, have left the plowlng
ground in the best possible condition.
l: will turn up dry, mesly and kindly, if
We do not have too much rain hereafter.
Altogether we see no reason to doubt
that the year 1877 will be n prosperous

is the prosperity OF the country. He
cannot be prosperous without infusing
prosperity into all other channels OF
trade and business, nor can other trades

THE LAST OF TABLE RoCK.-On the 24th

 ultimo the last of what was known as Ia ble Rock at Niagara, broke off and fell in- to the rIver. The mass weighed nearly six tons, and up to 1876 over four thousand names of visitors had been carved upon it.

 The part which fell on the 25th composed only half the original rock. the rest hay ing fallen in. On Saturday, January l., 1929, surface of the rock supposed to be the size of half an acre, forming the bed of Maiden Walk, broke loose, and was pre- cip-- ltated into the chasm below. The crash was heard for distance of five miles, and the effects ID the immediate neighborhood resembled the shock of an earthquake. The water running under the bank is supposed to have caused the fall of the 24th, and the shock when the rock struck the water was distinctly felt at distance of three miles from the fall. Several of the trees which stood on the rock are now seen standing in the river a3 erect as when in their original places on the rock. Where the rock shelved off from the bank at distance of twenty feet from the top, can be seen the root of tree estimated to be two feet in diameter. It attracts co nsiderable atten' don.-SyrGcuse Standard.

SEARCHING AND IroNNG.-Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher. in the household depart ment of the Christian Union. says that in doing up shirts, wristbands and collars should be starched first, if the collars are sewed on. The starch should be rubbed in thoroughly. taking care that no notes or Jumps adhere to the linen. The starch the bosom in the same way, keeping the starch hot and rubbing it in very careful ly. When perfectly starched. shake out the shlrt and fold evenly, roll it tightly to- gether, wrap it in a towel and let it re- main several hours before ironing. Night dresses and undergarments should be shaken out to prevent creases, which are hard to iron out. Neat and smooth fold ing and tight rolling makes them iron cas- fer as well as better.

 Rubbing the iron over waxed paper adds to the glossy appearance of the linen, and

 prevents starch from adhering. Embroid- cries need to be ironed on the wrong side over flannel. Bosoms and cuffs of shirts will look clearer and better if first ironed under piece of thin old cambrlc. The use of handful of refined borax to ten gallons of water in washing saves nearly half the soap, and does not injure the fin-- est fabrics. Colored musiins and figures should be washed in warm suds made with soft water and the best white soap. For all dark articles requiring starch, coffee starch is the best. It is made by pouring 8 pint of boiling coffee into 8 paste made of two teaspoonfuls of starch and little

 cold water.

 Cattle show.-In answer to the commit nicatlon of.

A revised lis of premiums will appear in few days and be sent to the patrous of the society. The large bills will follow soon after, so that all may see what inducements are offered to attend the next cattle show and fair' to be held September II and 12,1877. Among the many induce. ments offered to add to and increase the number of exhibitors, is giving to the exhi. bltion of stock, in addition to the premiums that may be awarded, a printed certificate showing fully the award of the judges, and the reason for the same. There is no lack of fine stock in the district, and fair deal in the examination will draw it out. In behalf of the officers will say that in so far as they are able to control these mo- tives the ring examination will be found to have played out. It was allowed, I think, that fair horse trot was held last year on the third day, and this year it may be ex- pected to have fair examination of stock on the 1st and 2nd days.

The Ohio Democrats announce that
greenbscks are the best currency ever
known in this country. Laboring men
are well enough satisfied with this pa
per money, and bondholders should be
more than satisfied to receive such
money for the privileged securities
upon which handsome profits have
been made. President Hayes must feel
satisfied that the governments money
is good enough for the redemption of
bonds, but it is distressing fact to
realize that he left the conduct of the
financial question entirely to Secretary
Sherman, who is undoubtedly under
the control of gold brokers and bond
holders, who direct the finances of the
country for their own selfish interests.
This being the case, and it is strongly
asserted in quarters where the best
information can be obtained, the
President should not hesitate to place
some one in harmony with the people
IN charge Of the office now held by
Sherman. The greenbackers begin TO
