HAD MIM THAT TIME.
Here is a good one from the Boston
Post: 0
Rev. Mr. Foster, of New Salem,
Massachusetts, was a facetious man, and
usually ready at a joke and repartee.
He had a parishioner, a carpenter by
trade, pretty well stocked with ready
wit, and withal, somewhat given to boast
ing. One day, while at work for his
minister, hewing a stick of timber, the
carpenter boasted, in his usual style, of
the marvels he could perform. The
pastor to put an extinguisher upon him
said : '
“ Governor, (his nickname) do you
think that you could make a devil?”
“ Make a devil l” responded the
Governor, “why yes; Oh yes! (his
broad-ax moving a little more rapidly.)
“ Here, put up your foot; you want the
least alteration of any man I ever saw."
It was rare that the minister came off
second best in such encounters, but he
did this time.
The congregation of a church were
very much annoyed at the continual in
toxication of the . sexton ; in fact, his
misconduct had reach such a height that
he had been seen to squeeze the hands
of several stout elderly females when
handing them out their carriages, and al
though said females bad failed to make
any complaints, it was deemed expedi
ent that the vestry should called the of
fender to account. Now it so chanced
that the leading man in the vestry was
a certain well-known physician, and he
having undertaken to reprimand the
sexton, animadverted upon his sin with
great severity. The sexton listened
until he got through, and then exclaimed
with great indignation:
“ Sir, I thought that you would have
been the last man alive to be so bard
agin me when I’ve been this many a
year coversng blunders of yours /”
WHAT HE DIED OF.
We overheard once the following
by the combustion of our food wof'the I diac g ue between an Alderman and an
matter of our bodies; the colder the cli

The Five Daughters.—A gentle
man had five daughters, all of whom he
brought up to some respectable occupa
tion in life. These daughters married
one after another, with the consent of
their father. ,The first married a gen
tleman by tbe name ol Poor; the second,
Mr. Little; the third, a Mr. Short ;
the fourth, a Mr. Brown ; and the fifth,
Mr. Hogg. At the wedding of the lat
ter, her sisters, with their husbands were
present. After the .ceremonies of the
wedding were over the old gentleman
said to the guests, ‘I have token great
pains to educate my five daughters/ that
they might act well their part in life,
and from their advantage and improve
ments I fondly hoped that they would
do honor to the family ; and now I find
that all my pains, cares, and expecta
tions have turned out nothing but a
Poo-, Little, Short, Brown, Hogg.'
To Distinguish Good Eggs for
Setting. All those having setting
hens would do well to take notice of
the following remarks and they will
have a chicken for every egg they set.
—Take eggs not more than three or
four days old and having a candle or
lamp hold the egg in one hand ivith the
broad end upwards close to the candle,
place the edge of the other hand on the
top of the egg, and you will immediate
ly perceive the incubation end. Some
people can tell a pullet from a rooster
The mark for a rooster is crosswise and
a pullet lengthwise. Another way is lo
place your tongue on the large end of
the egg and you will find a stronger
heat if fresh and good and the less heat
if old and doubtful. Eggs put by for
hatching should never be put in a damp
cellar as the dampness destroys this
heat.

USEFUL RECEIPTS.
Campuene for Polishinq.—Ladies
are very fond of keeping their door
knobs spoons, plates. &c., in brilliant
■ofrder. Now, if instead of water and
chalk, and such preparations, ladies will
use camphene and rotten stone, a far
brighter, quicker, aud more durable
polish can be obtained than in any other
way. Camphene is the article used ftyr
producing the exquisite polish on de-
guerreotype plates, and nothing has yet-
been found to equal it. So says an ex
change, and it is worthy of a trial.
To keep a Stove Bright by two
Applications a Year.—Make a weak
alum-water, and mix your British Lus--
tre with ii, perhaps two teaspoons full
to a gill of alum water ; let tlie stove be
cold, brush it with the mixture, then -
take a dry brush and rub the stove until
it is perfectly dry. Should any part
before polishing, become so dry as to*
look gray, moisten it with a wet brush
and proceed as before.
To Remove Stains and Mark$
from Books.—A solution of an oxalic
acid, nitric acid, or tartaric ^acid is at
tended with the least risk, and may be
applied upon the paper and prints with
out fear of damage: These acids tak--
ing out the wilting ink, and not touch
ing the priuting, can be used for restor
ing books, where the margins have been
writteii upon, without extracting the’ --
text.
To Clean Oi£ Paint.—The best
thing for cleaning oil paint is a sponge 1
dipped in ammonia which has been copi
ously diluted with water. Soap dis
solves the turpentine as well as the’
linseed oil, and not only destroys the’
smooth and shiny surface, but exposes
also the lead to the influence of the
water and air, and is, therefore not
practical.
An ox’s gall will set any color—silk,
cotton or woollen. I have seen the-
colors of calico, which faded at one
ashing fixed by it. -
A warming pan full of coals or a .
shovel of coals held over varnished
furniture, will take out white spots.—
The place should be rubbed with flan-'
nel while warm.
An ounce of quicksilver, beat up with’
the white of two eggs, and put on with
feather, is the cleanest and surest bed--
bug poison.
Lamps will have a less disagreeable
smell if you dip your wick yarn in
strong hot vinegar and dry it.
Remedy for the Black Knot.—
In conversing with a friend a few days
since, he informed me that he had been
successful in removing the black ex
crescences that have proved so injurious
to plum trees, as follows : Saturate the
knot with spirits of turpentine, and in
time it will dry up and heal over. He •
inks the disease is caused by an insect,
which the spirits’of turpentine destroys,
and thereby remedies the evil. He had
recommended it to his neighbors, apd
in all cases it had proved alike benefi-’
cial. In looking over some of the back
olumes of the Cultivator, I find the
general remedy recommended is exci
sion, and knowing that this sometimes
prores injurious to the tree, I thought
would send you this remedy, simple
and yet so benefi<JiaI,for publication, not
doubting but that I should got some
ideas in return from your correspon
dents.
I see the cherry is- affected in some
sections of the country, with the black
knot, aud I presume the above remedy
will prove iilike beneficial to them.

“ Piling ur the Agony.”—At
trial the other day, at Sherborne, Ser
geant Wilkins called to the jury, in the
most touching terms, by their verdict to
restore the prisoner to the bosom of his
wife and family, and dwelt on the effect
the result of the tri al would have, for
happiness or misery, on those who are
so dear to him. When the learned Ser
geant sat down, wiping his forehead
after his effort, he was a little surprised
to learn this touching allusion to wife

MEDICAL USE OF SALT.
In many cases of diso: dered stomach,-
a a teaspoonful of salt is a certain cure.
In the violent internal aching, termed
cholic, take a teaspoonful of salt and a
pint of cold water—drink it and go to
bed—i’ is one of the speediest remedies
known. The same will revive a person
almost dead ff *m receiving a very heavy
fall, &c.
