A Bridal Party.
BY ROB BURDETTE.
Ah now, look, at it. will you ? It’s a bridal
party ! Tins is the groom, fie wears good
clothes, light kind, and a silk hat. A bride
groom always travels in a silk hat. And the
man who travels oa the railroad in a silk hat
is worthy oMeatli. He rarely knows enough
to live. It won't fit in the rack ; it won’t
May there if he puts it there ; he doesn’t like
to stan 1 it under the seat, and lie can’t ver}'
well sit on it. If he wears it on his head
he bruises her forehead with the hard rim oT
it every time ho—swell. ever}' time he. And
that isn’t pleasant for either of them. So he
holds it in his hands, and can’t do half the
hugging the occasion and society demand
that young married people should do on the
train. And she ? Just look at her, will you?
She wants to look nice now if she ever does.
She wants her husband to think her. and
she wants to loofc, prettier than any other
girl on the train. And at the same time she
wants to save that hat; tlie new hat. So she
swathes it around with a veil. A blue veil;
she wraps it round and round and round and
round and round and round and round and
round and round and round that hat, until
she looks as though she had her head in a
tub. She should he the prettiest, happiest
looking woupin in that car. She is a fright.
The hat, where other women put on all the
crowning touncc of dainty grace and airy
delicacy and beauty, is in her case the
monstrosity that disfigures her. It makes her
look gloomy and savage. You can’t look at
her without thinking of the neuralgia. She
looks like “ Mrs. Wilfer” with the toothache.
Poor girl, if she only kite w what she looks
like, she would want to die. Hut she doesn’t
know it, and the young man sitting at her
side seems to he equally Ignorant. Although
I wonder if lie can help noticing the contrast
between his wife’s head and that of a girl in
a captivating traveling hat, sitting just before
him. I like to see a woman careful of her
hat. Hut when she swathes it up as this
brido does she ought to go down in the cellar
and stay in the dark until she is ready to
damask her head.
My Rules for Living.
I am no doctor or pill vender, yet I have
had a good long life and a happy one. May
I not. therefore, just give my simple rules for
health in the hopes that some traveler on the
up or down hill of life may look at them and
be benelitted by them. I have practiced
them for many years, and they have done me
good ; they may do good to others. They
are inexpensive, and may be easily abandon
ed, if they cause any harm.
I. Keep in the sunlight as much as pos
sible. A plant will not* thrive without the
sunbeam ; much less a man..
H. Hreathe as much fresh air as your bu
siness will permit. This makes fresh blood ;
tmt it is never found in the four walls of your
building. Beneath the open sky, just there,
and on!}’ there, it comes to you.
111. He strictly temperate. You cannot
break organic law, or any other law, with im-
punity.
IV. Keep the feet always warm and the
head cool. Disease and death begin at the
feet more commonly than we think.
V. Eat white bread when you cannot get
brown bread. -•
VI. If out of order, see which of the above
-roles you have not observed, then rub your
vself all over witlVa towel, saturated with salt
water, and well dried, and begin upon the
rules again.
\ll. Look ever on the bright, which is
the heaven side, of life. This is far better
than a medicine.
These seven simple rules, good for the valid
or invalid, if rightly observed, would save, J
apprehend, a deal of pain, prolong life, and
so far as health goes, make it worth the having.
—Boston Traveler.
Is Farming Profitable?
I here are some men who will make mon
ey in almost any kind of farming. They
are shrewd, energetic and industrious. There
is no doubt that such men attain the highest
success, when they adopt the self-sustaining,
mixed system, producing plenty of provis
ions for man and beast, raising stock, with
only so mnelrcotton as may be safely done
without endangering the general success of
the farm. That farming, on the whole, is
profitable, it is only necessary to remark, in
proof, that the world is sustained by it.
Food and clothing for the millions of the
human race are almost exclusively the pro
duct ot the I ake nur own country
alone into consideration, and farming, on
the whole, certainly pays well. The mer
chants, lawyers, speculators, office holders
and railroad men, create, or produce no
wealth—they only absorb the money, which,
in his last analysis, is the sweat of the far
mer and artizan. It a farmer has reason
able seasons, works with energy and industry,
and fails to prosper, the cause may he looked
for in the fact that his mind and energy has
been too much devoted to the production of
those crops which cannot, of themselves,
supply the wants of himself, his family and
his farm animals, but must be exchanged in
market for the necessaries which alone can
minister comfort and happiness. But when
a farmer goes to market with an article (cot
ton) which he cannot use himself, but is
obliged to sell in order to purchase the very
necessaries of life, he is at the mercy of the
market, which is controlled by speculators,
and the profits absorbed by these and other
men.
The truth is, farmers, as a class, do not
spnjoy a fair share of the profits of their own
business, and this failure is very much in
proportion to their neglect of those crops
which alone* can make them independent.
Another truth is, that farmers, from the na
ture of their business, are not able to cope
w >th the professional trader and speculator,
whose business is to get the best of every trade.
A farmer should mil much ami buy little;
always have something to spare of his abun
gdance with which to procure the necessaries
wliice L*e cannot produce on his farm. When
be goes to market ho should have some
thing to sell, or the monby from previous
sales, if he expects to buy. The sura of it
all is* farmere should adopt the strictly cash
system—buying for cash—selling for cash.
Will It Do to Plant ?
The right time to plant is when the soil
is in a proper stateo{ preparation, and the jlate
lias arrived which has been found the best
from long experience; and this regardless
of temperature or the ordinary indications
of approaching spring. This is especially
true of such seeds that require some time to
vegetate. Take corn, for instance : planted
in spring we do not expect the first stalks to
appear above ground in less than 12 to 14
days. In this time the weather may, and
often does, change two or three times ; so
tliat. if the seed be p.anted when the weather
is warm, and apparently settled, we have no
assurance that it will continue so until the
corn comes up. This is a risk that must be
run in any event, unless planting is defered
until April or May. Assume that at any
given latitude, the loth of March has been
found, in the “ long run,” to be the best
time to plant corn. Asa general rule it will
not be safe to plant much before that time,
however pleasant and spring-like the weather
may he; nor wise to postpone planting be
yond that time, because the mornings are
frosty or the ground slightly frozen, provided
the soil is otherwise in good condition. \Ve
have often commenced or continued to plant
corn when the ground was slightly frozen
early in the morning, and had no difficulty
in getting a good stand of healthy plants.
Set the day for commencing to plant, and
when it arrives, and you have everything in
readiness and the ground is not wet, begin
to plant.
In this connection we would remark-that
little faith is to he placed in what are usu
ally considered indications of an “ early
spring,” or a “ late spring.” In fact, these
” indications” of an early spring are often
very deceptive, and the two confident gar
dener or fanner often learns a severe lesson
in following up too closely the retreat of old
Winter.
Early planted corn generally makes the
best crop, provided the spring is not more
than nsnally unfavorable. It sometimes
occurs, when commencing to plant at the
usual time, that we look back upon the
“ beautiful weather” which may have pro
vailed for two weeks past, and wish we had
begun sooner. And perhaps it would have
turned out better if we had ; hut such expe
riences ought not to influence our plans m
the future. There is a “time to plant and a
time to reap.”
One more remark. Avery early variety
of corn ought not to be planted until the
spring has fully opened—unless the soil is
very rich. The reason is this: Corn usu
ally makes in a certain time, or at a certain
age. according to the variety, and without
regard to the size the plants may have at
tained when the time for tasseling and siik
ing arrives Then if a cold, wet, backward
spring occurs, and such a variety has been
planted very early, the stalks will not reach
such a development as to size as will be ne
cessary to secure a good yield.
A somewhat dramatic incident occurred in
a country school house near Seaford, Del., a
few days since. The other pupils were re
quired by the teacher, a certain Samuel Roop,
to write “composition.” A young miss of
sixteen refused to go through with this part
of the school exercises. The teacher notified
her that on the following Monday she would

bad a couple of big brothers, and when they
heard of this peremptory order they conclu
ded to attend school themselves on Monday,
and it the teacher attempted to enforce it, to
give him a thrashing. The teacher was ad
vised of this threat, and put a revolver in his
pocket before lie started for the school-house
on Monday morning. The big brothers were
in attendance. When the hour came for
writing compositions, the teacher laid his re
volver on the desk, and told the refractory
girl to proceed with her task. The big broth
ers kept their seats in mute astonishment
while their sister wrote a composition. A
meeting of the school commission was called,
and they sustained Mr. Roop in his method
of enforcing discipline.
