What Artemns Ward Snows About
Farming-Bis Connection with “Eli
Perkins.”
We find the following letter embod
ied in a “diesotation” «<n farming by
Eli Perkins in the New York Commer
cial Advertiser of Tuesday.
New York, June 12, 1865.
To the Formers' Club, Cooper's Institute.
Gentlemen : I have been an honest
farmer tor some four years' My farm
is in the interior of Maine. Unfortu
nately my lands are eleven miles Irom
the railroad. Eleven miles is quite a
distance to haul immense quantities of
wheat, corn, rye and oats ; but as 1
havn’t any to haul, I do not, after all,
8uffer much on that account.
Two years ago I tried sheep-raising.
I bought fifty lambs and turned
them loose on my broad and beauti
fu! acres.
It was pleasant on bright mornings
after coming back from lecturing to
stroll leisurely out on to the farm in
my dressing gown with a segar in my
mouth, and watch those innocent little
lambs as they dauced gaily o’er the
hill side.
One day, my gentle shepherd, Mr.
Eli Perkins, [that was me] said,
“We must have some sheperd dogs.”
1 had no very precise idea as to
what sheperd dogs were, but I assum
ed a rather profound look, and said :
“We must, Eli. I spoke to you
about this some time ago •”
I wrote to Boston for two sheperd
dogs, and the dogs came forthwith.—
They were splendid creatures—snuff
colored, hazel eyed, longtailed and
shapely jawed.
We led them proudly to the fields.
“Turn them in, Eli,” I said.
They went in at once, and killed
twenty of my best lambs in about
four minutes and a half.
My friends had made a trifling mis
take in the breed of these dogs.
Eli Perkins was astonished, and ob
served :
“Waal ! did you ever ?”
I certainly never had.
There were pools of blood on the
green sward, and fragments of wool
and raw lamb chops lay round in con
fused heaps.
The dogs would have been sent to
Boston that night, had they not rath
er suddenly died that afternoon of a
throat distember. It wasn’t a swell
ing of the throat. It wasn’t dipthe-
ria. It was a violent opening of the
throat, extending from ear to ear.
Tnis closed their life-stories. Thus
ended their interesting tails.
I failed as a raiser of iambs. As a
sheepist, I was not a success.
Last summer Mr. Perkins said, “I
think we’d better cut some grass this
season, sir.”
We cut some grass.
To me the new mown hay is very
sweet and nice. New mown hay is a
really fine thing. It is good for man
and beast'
We hired four honest farmers to as
sist us, and I led them gaily to the
meadows.
I was going to mow, myself'
I saw the sturdy peasants go round
once ere I dipped by Hashing scythe
into the tall green grass.
“Are you ready ?” said E. Perkins.
“I am here ! ”
“Then follow us !”
I followed them.
Followed them rather too closely,
evidently, for a white-haired old man,
who immediately followed Mr. Per
kins, calltd upon us to halt. Then in
a low, firm voice he said to his son,
who was just ahead of me, “John,
change places with me. I hain’t got
long to live anyhow' Yonder berryin’
ground will soon have these old bones,
and it’s no matter whether I’m carried
there with one leg off and ter’ble
gashes in the other or not! But you
John—you are young.”
The old n an changed places with
his son. A smile of calm resignation
lit up his wrinkled face, as he said,
“Now, sir, I am ready !”
“What mean you, old man ?” I said-
“I mean that if you continue to
bran’ish that blade as you have been
bran’ishin’ it, you’d slash h out
of some of us before we’re a hour ol
der !”
There was some reason mingled with
this white-haired old peasant’s profan
itv- It was true that I had twice es
caped mowing oft his son’s legs, and
his father was perhaps naturally alarm
ed.
I went and sat down under a tree.
“I never know’d a literary man in my
life,” I overheard the old man say,
“that know’d anything.”
Mr. P. rkins was not as valuable to
me this season as I had fancied he
might be. Every afternoon he disap
peared from the field regularly, and
remained about some two hours. He
said it was headache he inherited from
his mother. His mother was often
taken in that way, and suffered a great
deal.
At the end of the two hours Mr-
Perkins would reappear with his head
neatly done up in a large wet rag, and
say he “felt better.”
One afternoon it so happened that
I soou followed the invalid to the
house, and as I neared the porch I
heard a female voice energetically ob
serve, “You stop !” It was the voice
of the hired giil. and she added, “I’ll
holler lor Mr. Brown !’ ’
“Oli no, Nancy,” I heard the inva
lid E, Perkins soothingly say, “Mr.
Brown knows I love you. Mr. Brown
approves of it !”
This was pleasant for Mr. Brown !
I peered cautiously through the kitch
en blinds, and however unnatural it
may appear, the lips of Eli Perkins
and my hired girl were very near to
gether. She said, “You shan’t do so,”
and he do-soed. She also said she
would get right up and go away, and
as an evidence that she was thorough
ly in earnest about it, she remained
where she was.
They aie married now,and Mr. Per
kins is troubled no more with the
headache.
This year we are‘planting corn.—
Mr. Perkins writes me that “on ac
counts of no skare krows bein put up
krows cum and digged lust crop up
but soon got nother one in. Old Bis-
bee who was frade yould cut his sons
leggs ol Ses you bet go in, stan up in
field yourself with dressin gown &
gesses krows will keep way, this made
boys in store larf. No More terday
from Yours respectful
Eli Perkins. |
P. S —Eli has done better since he.
got married. Artumus Ward.
Much curiosity has been felt to
learn the date of the first Euglish
newspaper, and the circumstances
under which it made its first appear
ance; but the origin of what may be
called the English newspaper, as the
phrase is undeistood, is shrouded in
mystery which none of the many ef
forts made with that view have yet
been able to explain. There can be
no doubt that the first printed intelli
gence of importance transmitted by
Government to various parts of the
country, in a form somewhat resem
bling the newspapers of a half cen
tury afterward, was sent to Lord Bur
leigh, then prime minister of Queen
Elizabeth, in the year 1588. The
intelligence related to the fact of the
Spanish armada having made a descent
on the English coast.
A correspondent gives the follow
ing incident of the recent visit to
Washington of “Spotted Tail” and
his Indian braves:
White Thunder, who is really a fine
locking man, with wavy hair, and no
ble expression of feature, seemed to
be the favorite among the ladies, and
in the hotels at Washington complete
ly captivated one of the capitals, fair
est daughters. She received an intro
duction to him, and having secured a
seat beside him, overwhelmed him
with attentions, which he warmly re
turned. Evidently it was a case of
love at first sight, and the pale-faced
maiden and the dusky brave sat hand
m hand in silence. Spotted tail de
tected in their glances evidence of
their affection, and gracefully inquired
if she desired to marry her lover.—
Some one assured him that she did not,
when the chief turned away with the
suggestion that she “ had better let
him alone theu.”

Ayer’s Sarsaparilla,
FOB Pdtimil« TUB BLOOII.
The reputation this ex
cellent medicine enjoys,
is derived from its cures,
many of which are truly
marvellous. Inveterate
cases of Scrofulous dis
ease, where the system
seemed saturated with
corruption, have been
purified and cured by it.
Scrofulous affections aud
disorders,which were ag
gravated by tlie scrofu
lous contamination until
thev were painfully afflicting, have been radically
cured in such great numbers in almost every sec
tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to
be informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive
enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt
tenant of the organism undermines the constitution,
and invites the attack of enfeebling or fatal diseases,
without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again,
it seems to breed infection throughout the body, and
then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop
into one or other of its hideous forms, eithsr on tha
surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tuber,
cies may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or
heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows
its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcer-
>art of the body. Hence the occa-
ottle of this Sarsaparilla is ad
visable, aven when no active symptoms of disease
appear. Persons afflicted with the following com
plaints generally find immediate relief, and, at
length, cure, by the use of this SAR8APARIL-
J.A: St. A nthon y '* Fire, Hone or Erysipelas,
Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm,
Sore Eye*, Sore Ear*, and oilier eruptions o;
visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the
ations on some p;
cional use of a b<
lar and nervous syetems.
SyphUi* or Venereal and Mercurial I)l*ea*e»
are cured by it, though a long time is required for
subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine.
But long continued use of this medicine will cure
the complaint. Lcucorrha-a or Unites, Uterine
Ulceration*, and Female XH*ea*ee, are com
monly soon relieved and ultimatelT cured by ita
purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Direc
tion* for each case are found in our Almanac, sup
plied gratis. Rheumatitm and Gout, whea
caused by accumulations of extraneous matters
in the blood, vield quickly to it, as also Liver
Complaint*, T'orjiidity, CongetllonarInflam
mation of the Liver, and .Jaundice, when arising,
as they often do, from the rankling poison* in the
blood. Thi* SARSAPARILLA is a great re
storer for the strength and vigor of the system.
Those who are I.anrjuid and Listless, Respon
dent, Steeple**, and troubled with Ferrous Ap
prehension* or Fears, or any of the affections
symptomatic of Weakness, will find immediate
relief and convincing evidence of its restorative
power upon trial.

Ayer’s
Hair Vigor,
For restoring Cray Hair to
its natural Vitality and Color.
A dressing which
is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair is soon restored
io its original color
with the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations daDgerous and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.
