know of no remedy recommended by the ablest authors
that is so certain and speedy in its effects. On tlieoon
trury they are uncertain in the extreme. My object
in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can
get the medicine directly from yon. If 1 can get it
upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. i tin
aware that the use of such articles is contrary to Ihe
teachings and practice of a great msjority of the 1 ej
ular line of 11. 1).’5, but I see no just cause cr go< and
sense in discarding a remedy wide!, v e know to be ef
ficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its com
bination. Formy part, I shall make it a rule to use all
and any me ms to alleviate suffering hunt nitv which
I may be able to command—not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may have learn
d its effects first, and secured Ihe sole right tc secure
hat knowledge. However, lamby no means an ad

trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all

Timely Restitution.
In twenty-third street, Hew York,
j when the frost of last winter began to
j enhance the price of fuel, lived a poor
widow, whose name we do not feel at
liberty to mention. She w:i3 very,
poor, and for weeks she had been eo
feeble as to be unable to work. She
nad seen bettor days—days of pride
and comfort.—but from one degree to
another of misfortune had she snnk,
until absolute want had invaded her
disnml home. When she first came to
the great city, she had been blessed
with a son who had given her shelter
and protection. Her son went into
the army, and died iu the trenches be
fore York town. A year afterwards
the son's wife died, leaving to the care
of the bereaved woman, a grandchild
three years old.
What with Ihe pension money to
the soldier’s child, and the proceeds of
her own labor, the widow managed, for
a while, to live in comparative comfort;
hut sickness came, and the end of a
year of new misfortune found her still
iu ill health, and homeless and starv
ing. _
Night had come dark and drear.—
On the morrow she must go forth into
the streets. She had seated herself
by the window, when a low knock at
the door aroused her from her reverie.
Ihe child answered the summons, and
a policeman followed the little one into
the room.
“Don’t be alarmed,” said the officer
kindly, as he noticed that the poor wo
man was frightened, ‘What is your
name Y
She told him.
‘We are right, this is the place.’
These words were spoken to some
ono on the landing, and directly after
wards a young man of gentlemanly
appearance came in.
“This is the woman ?” the officer ad
ded, pointing with his hand.
The stranger advanced, and for a
time was perceptibly affected by the
signs of poverty and distress; but his
handsome face brightened as he spoke.
Ho asked the woman for the name of
her husband; for his occupation; and
the date of liis death; and a lew other
plain questions; and when she had an
swered them, he said to her,
“My father was once in your hus
band’s employment as bookkeeper, and
while in this position he appropriated
to his own use two hundred and fifty
dollars belonging to his employer. I
need not stop in this place to tell you
a long story. Suffice it for me to say,
the bookkeeper went to a Western city,
where he married and entered into
business. He prospered beyond his
expectations. As the years passed on,
and his children grew up around him,
he had bitter recolections of that early
sin, and earnestly desired to make res
titution; but his old employer was
dead, and he knew not where to find
any of thcr family. Last spring my
father lay upon his death bed, and to
me he told the story of his crime; and
he solemnly charged me if ever I found
the wife, or a child, or near relative of
the wronged man, that I should return
the sum with ample interest. This
very month—not two weeks ego —
while transacting some business with
the pension agent in this city, I heard
of you. I have searched without ceas
ing ever since, and, thank heaven, I
have found you. I shall think of my
dead father with more of comfort now
that I am able to make this restitution.
The original sum was two hundred
and fifty dollars, and it was taken thir
ty-five years ago. At compound inter
est the amount would now be over two
thousand dollars. I shall make it
twenty-five hundred, trusting that we
may so invest it as to give you peace
and comfort.”
On the morrow the woman and the
child left the poor abode* but not for a
home in the streets. 'I he new found
friend did not leave them until he had
seen them comfortable and happy in a
homefar away from the great American
Babel; and when he finally turned his
steps towards his own home in the
West, it would be hard to tell which
had been blest most in the work of
restitution.
Clct Miar2’lcd Early, Boys.
In nine cases out of ten, the young
man who takes to himself a wife as
soon as he becomes of age, lays a per
manent foundation for future useful
ness and prosperity, besides giving
bond and security to society for his
future good behavior as a citizen. He
acquires good habits, is of some benefit
to those around him, and is generally
more respected and beloved by the
whole community. But never marry
for money, nor repudiate the love of a
pure-minded, loving, virtuous girl,
simply because she lias not got the
stamps. Never say to her:
“I’d offer thee this hand of mine,
If thou but hads’t the dimes;
But purses short and slim as thine
Won’t do for these hard times.
I leave thee in thy wretchedness,
As one too poor to mate;
For love, you know, can only bless,
When based on real estate. - ’
The young man who marries prop
erty hardly ever fails to regret liis
choice. If, on the contrary, he mar
ries a helpmeet instead of a help-eat
the-meat, each can do something to
make home happy in future, the hus
band can earn and the wife can save,
each zealously promoting the interest
of the other, and both eager to see
which can accomplish the most. The
young man who does not surround
himself with domestic enjoyment at
the earliest practical moment, is be
yond all question throwing away the
best years of his life. In early mar
riages are found the greatest enjoy
ments of which life can boast. He
who lias a young, loviDg, affectionate
wife to welcome him at the termina
tion of his day’s labors, may well have
cause to rejoice. He has something
to live for—something to boast of, and
if his is not a happy state of existence,
the fault is entir 1/ his own. It would
be infinitely bettir for tlm world if
young men would many' the moment
that they art capable oi' supporting a
wife.
The excuse too frequently U ’ged bv
young men is that they cannot ass »rd
it, the young ladies are so very expens
ive it is ns much as they can do to
support themselves without having to
settle heavy dry goods bills. The
whole of this is humbug from begin
ning so end. Young ladies dress in
order to appear more attractive in the
eyes ofthe young men of their acquain
tance, and the moment they become
wives they generally conform to the
position their husbands may occupy
in life. The truth of the matter is,
that the money invested by our young
men in whisky, cigars, nice little oys
ter suppers and similar follies, would
cancel nearly, if not nil, the dressmak
ers’ and milliners’ bills in town. A
good wife is the greatest and best treas
ure a man ever had, end there are j
plenty of them to be had iu this city ’
for the asking.

Anecdote of JUlsSaop Blascorn.
Sir. Bascom traveled two years in
the mountainous regions of Kentucky.
The country was rough, and the peo
ple generally poor. But the romantic
wildness of the country was congenial
with his feelings, and ho enjoyed the
rude hospitality of the sincere-hearted
foresters. He used to tell, with much
apparent pleasure, of a dinner he en
joyed with particular satisfaction. He
was preaching on one occasion ia a
cabin, which was once church and
dwelling. The people were listening
with seriousness and deep attention to
the truths of the gospel, when, in the
very midst of his sermon, his host, who
sat near the door, suddenly rose from
bis seat, snatched the gun from two
wooden brackets, upon which it lay
against the joist, went hastily out, fir
ed it off, and returning put the gun
back in its place, and quietly seated
himself to bear the remainder of the
sermon. The whole affair had hardly
consumed as much time as it requires
to read this recount of it, and in a very
few moments all was going on its
smoothly as if no interruption had oc
curred. After service was i nded, Bas
com inquired of the man the meaning
of liis strange conduct.
“Sir,” said he, “we are entirely out
of meat, and I was perplexed to know
what we should give you for your din
ner, and it was preventing me from en
joying the sermon, when the Good One
sent a flock of wild turkeys this way;
I happened to see them, took my gun
and killed two at a shot; my mind felt
earsy, and I enjoyed tlve remainder ot
the sermon with perfect satisfaction.'’
The Quaker Landlord.— A goodsto
"•j is tAdof a Quaker landlord at At
lantic City. An urchin of live or six
years was seen by him drumming nois
ily upon a handsome walnut balus
trade. The Friend remonstrated with
him without effect, and then quietly
took him up bodily and carried him
into the back yard. In a moment the
boy’s angry mother made her appear
ance and opened upon the landlord
with a torrent of invective, concluding
with, “I’ll leave this house instantly.”
The quaker immediately touched a bell
and said to the daik-skinned waiter
who responded to the call, “Leonidas,
go up (oL2 and bring down this friend’s
baggage when she tells thee she is
ready for thee. If she wants thee to
get a carriage for her, or ha3 any com
mands until she is gone, thee will see
them attended to.” The lady sudden
ly began to cool down, apologised, and
asked to be allowed to retain her room,
but only received the reply, “My house
shall never make auy one a liar. My
bookkeeper will settle with thee. Fare
thee well.” Soon afterwards her bag
gage was taken down stairs by the
stout negro to the music of her son’s
voice, caused by her imparting to him,
unexpected caloric with a strip of
shingle.
Can Such Things Be?— A correspon
dent of the Atlanta Constitution, writ
ins: from Greensboro, North Carolina,
O 7
says:
“At this point, I learned from sever
al reliable and pious citizens, of one of
the strangest occurrences that has ev
er happened in that or any other State.
A cow, belonging to a Methodist min
ister, living six miles from Greet boro,
gave birth to a negro baby. The head
uud face, and all the upper part of the
animal, are unmistakably those of a
negro child, and the lower part that of
a calf. The gentleman who iuformed
me of it is a highly responsible citizen,
and he was so deeply disgusted that
lie declined to talk about it. I hope
the disciples of Ariel did not draw any
conclusion from it. I assure you I al
most regret that I ever heard it, and I
have hastened to write you about it.”
It is stated, on English author
ity, that over thirteen him Ired thou
sand Hindoos and three hundred thou
sand Egyptians have perished within
the last live years from starvation, con
sequent upon llie forced cultivation of
cotton instead of bread. If t>u3 be
true, such competition will hardly
prove successful against the South.
A man locked his wife into an up
per room, and not being satisfied with ;
this punishment but wishing to aggra
vate her still further, sent his son up
with a bone. The youth innoeoutly
brought it, and said,* “Mother, father
sent this up, and says there is a bone
for you to pick.” The gentle mother

Old Jethro Tull deserves honor from
this generation for his theory that
thorough mechanical cultivation will
alone maintain the soil fertile, for al
though it has been long exploded, yet
it was very good doctrine to promul
gate in the dawning of scientific agri
culture. It led to underdraining,
deep plowing, and a frequent stirring
of the soil when crops are growing;
it prepared the way for the farmer
who w as to use manure.
Recently, Mrs. Denny, a resident of
Princeton, Kv., purchased a lot of
duck eggs, carried them home, aid,
for convenient use, placed them in her
bureau drawer, where they remained
undisturbed for some days, when at
tention was called to the bureau bv an
unusual noise therein. Upon pulling
out the drawer, to her utter astonish
ment, she found three young ducks
hatched out and scratching around for
freedom.
In connection with the destruction
of the cureulio, all peaches commmenc
ing to rot should be picked from the
tree and destroyed—not thrown on
the ground. This work should be
done daily faithfully when the rot sets
in. Eterm 1 vigilance is the price of
peaches. It is easy for horticultural
writers to undervalue and scout the
efficiency of all this insect fighting, as
ma ny do, but is a more grateful duty
to report its complete success where
tver it has been rigidly carried on.
Mr. Samuel Johnson, the Superin
tendent of the farm at the State Agri
cultural College, informs the editor of
the Maine Farmer, that he found an
application of soapsuds to grass lands
gave more than double the increase
of growth than was produced by any
other fertilizer whatever. Every par
ticle of soap suds is saved, and applied j
at intervals upon grass ground.—
What a source is here for the saving
of fertilizing matter which now so
generally goes to waste.
One great reason why manure nev
er acts vigorously on light sand is, that
the extreme porosity which character
izes it, causes the dung to keep dry,
and consequently to remain inert. A
lump of dry manure is no better iu the
soil than a chip or a stone, and will
produce just the same effect upon the
crop. The clay gives cohesiveness to !
particles, unites them by a sort of £m
j tinous attachment and conjuration,
and while ; t favors the absorption and
i retention of moijuve, ensures the fer
i mentation and ultimate decomposition
jof the dung. In a few years ths soil
J will assume n firnj dark appearance,
resembling anould, and the va-
lion* grrrses will find in it a bed ca
pable of affording expansion to their
roots, and supply a moisture aud .so
luble food commensurable wil h their
wants.

Saltpetei: South in fok Seed Wheat.
—Captain James \V Thillips, a highly
successful wheat-grower near Pedlar
A tills, iu Amherst, Virginia, informs
me that he has found, by repeated ex
periments through a long course of
years on the same and in different
fields, and on several varieties of wheat,
that soaking his: seed wheat over night
in a solution uiude of two jiounds of
saltpetre to eight gallons of water is a
sine preventative of rust. On takjng
his seed out of tire brine he rolls it in
i'reshly-sduked lime if he has it, if not,
in dry ashes, and sows it ihut morning,
plowing and harrowing it in that day.
lie attributes the efficacy of the pre
paration entirely to the saltpetre,
which, he says, also increases the crop
and hastens its maturity a week or
ten days.—An Old Farmer.
