WAR NEWS IN TIIE COUNTRY.
BY “ FRITZ.”
Here, on a sultry summer's eve,
Three Uiousnnd mites across the ocean,
The village stutesmeu tell tlic news,
And every loafer gives his notion.
The war in Europe—which'U whip!
Aud are the Dutch a war-like nation ?
And should they capture Holland, then
Would that affect the situation!
Squire Bilvertooth declares
That every paper lies and wheedles,
But he’ll bedurned if lie believes
. That people go to wnr’wiUi neediest
Then lawyer Sharp takes t’other side —
Rut he's a rather small pointer—
He’s only been a Justls once,
While tlic Squire's been to the Legislater.
Hans Bneidcr, 'cross the way, declares,
“Hefour dis llttcl row is through, sir,

PITTY PAT’S PRAYER.
We’ve a dear little lassie we've named
Fitly Pal:
Blio’s got a wee kitten she calls Kitty Cat.
Now, Fitly Pat sleeps in a gown snowy
white.
While lvitty Cat wears her day-clothing all
night.
But Pitty Pat says she don't like it at all;
And pulling the fur off makes Kitty Cat
squall;
But still she iicreists in undressing her pet,
And falling to do it, quite angry will get,
While Kitty Cat cries at what Pitty Pat docs
To her one'little coatee of silky, soft fuzz.
Then Pitty Pat’s sorry, and asks why she
cries
At being fixed tidy for shutting her eyes,
Nor says, “ Now I lay me,” when going
to bed,
But, curling up, softly sings “purr” iustead.
Bo Pitty Pat tells hor, in solemneat way,
“If you're a bad Kitty Cat, then 1 must
pray.”
“ Ilcr lays her—dear Father—down softly—
in bed—
Her doesn’t—do nuffln —and nuffln —her
said—
'Cept purr-r—and purr-r—and then goes to
sleep-
But nover mind, Father —her little soul
keep!”

FARMER BLACK.
BY O. HOWE GREENE.
Oh, Farmer Black! oh. Farmer 81ack!
Your pigs arc buried 'ncntli a stack;
Your sheep have gorged themselves with
corn; *
Your cows have got the hollow horn.
Run, Farmer Slack! mu for your life!
Run save your children and your wife I
Run! run to save your house on fire —
The fiames arc mounting ever higher!
Oh 1 Farmer Black, yon pay too dear—
Why don’t you keep your chimney clear f
Green wood will make more soot than dry;
Then cut your wood and lay it by.
Why, Fanner 81ack, where is your plow?
Keeled up beside the fence, I trow!
Your rake and reaper both arc out—
Why, Farmer, what are you shout?
Now, Farmer Slack,don’t blame the times;
You can’t expect to make ” the dimes -,
gftifttdlang.
From the Canadian Craftman.^^
Tho Last Morsel.
All that remained of the last loaf
of bread, which widow M could
call her own, was upon the table.
Where tlic next morsel of food was to
come from was a question to which
tho widow herself could not givo a
ready response. Three little children
looked up with love and trust into
hor face, and called her “mother.”
For six months "she had provided, as
best she could, for their many necessi
ties, with her own feoble hands; but
health and strength failed—a severe
pain in the chest prevented her from
working so hard. Add&l to this, but!
little sewing was to be attained, and
for that little the remuneration was
scanty—a pittance. What were iier
and her three fatherless little ones
to do t
It was a bright day. The gladness
of nature was a mockery to her heart.
She placed her children around the
hoard, and leaving her humble abodo,
she hied herself to Greenwood.
Tears streamed down her pallid
checks as she trod the well-worn track
to her husband's last resting-place.
The widow started when she caught
sight of tv white slab, newly erected
at the head of her lbst companion’s
grave. It was an honor she had long
yearned to pay to his memory, but
she lacked the means. Who had ful
filled her wishes so exactly? She
pressed forward and read:
* Bacretl to the Memory
of
S M .
Who Died Greatly Beloved by
All Who Knew Him,
In tho Thirty-third year of
His age.
Near the top was carved a Masonic
emblem. This was the only solution of
tiie mystery. The woman knelt upon
the sod, and blessed the widow’s God
for this token of II is mercy. ‘ Surely,’
site thought, aud murmured half aloud,
‘ those who have been so mindful of
the mouldering ashes of the dead will
not be entirely unmindful of the liv
ing.’ A strong confidence was born
in her heart. Site arose and retraced
her steps.
‘ Mamma,’ said ono of tho little
ones, tottering toward her as she ap
proached the door, 4 a man came here
just now aud left a whole basketful of
nice things, which he says was sent
to us, but he would not say who sent
them. There is meat and bread, and
tea and sugar, and I don’t know what
all! Haven’t we got kind friends
mamma? Now, you won’t look sad
any more.’
Sure enough, the woman found her
pressing necessities relieved, aud sup
plies were sent her from time to time,
and continued to be sent. Who were
her self-constituted guardians? It is
nnueeessary for us to name them ; but
wc vouch for the trutli of the story
from personal knowledge.
How to Get Ilia Crops. —As a rule
farmers are much more ambitious to
get big prices, than big crops. There
arc few farms whose average produc
tion could not be doubled in a very
short time by more capital in farming
than in almost any other business.
Tho credit of the plow is quite as good
as that of the loom and anvil; and the
capital will come, if it is called for.
Use more manure, and get thirty bush
els ol wheat where you now get fifteen,
and eighty bushels of corn where you
now get forty. The quautity of grain
per acre is mainly a question of ma
nure and tillage. A big compost
heap makes a full grain bin. With
high manuring, the soil needs deeper
stirring and a gradual bringing up of
the snb-soil to tho surface. With the
present horse-harrows and cultivators,
nearly all the cultivation can be done
by horse, at a great saving of expense
and great increase of the crops.
The Ark.—-The sermon on the
‘Harp of a thousand strings,’ re
minds a Georgia correspondent of an
incident that occurred in his neigh
borhood, whore two Hard-Shell Bap
tist preachers, on one occasion, hap
pened to be in the same pulpit together.
While one was preaching, he said,
‘ When Abraham built the ark— ’
The one behind him strove to cor
rect his blunder, by saying out aloud,
‘ Abraham wasn’t thar.’
But the speaker pushed on, heedless
of the interruption, and took occas
ion shortly to repeat, still more ',’iecid
edly, 4 1 say, when Abraham built the
ark— 1
4 And I say,’ cried tho otbe.,
1 Abraham wasn’t thar.’
Tho Hard-Shell was too hard to bo
beaten down in this way, and address
ing the people, exclaimed, with great
indignation, 4 1 say, Abraham was
thar, or tharabouts!’
tv It is estimated that over one
hundred young ladles are at present
studying law in this country. Proba
bly they will become mothers-in-law
one of these days.

SturlllnK Effect of a Hymn.
A Hong Kong correspondent of the
Boston News tells an interesting inci
dent. He had boon intrusted with
packages for a young man from his
friends in the United States, ami, after
inquiry, learnod that he might proba
bly be found in a gambling house.
He went thither, but not seeing him,
determined to wait, in tho expectation
that ho might come in. The place
was a bedlam of noises—men getting
angry over their cards and frequently
coming to blows. Near him sat two
men—one young, the other forty years
of age. They were betting and drink
ing in a terrible way, the elder one giv
ing utterances continually to the foul
est profanity. Two games had been
finished, the young man losing each
time. The third game, with fresh
bottles of brandy, had just begun, and
the yonng man sat lazily back in his
chair, while the elder shuffled the
cards. The man was a long time
dealing tho cards; nnd the young man
looking carelessly about the room,
bogan to hum a tunc. He began to
sing the beautiful lines of Phoebe
Cary:
“ Ono sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o’er anil o’er.
I’m nearer to my father's house,
Thau l’vo ever been before.
“ Nearer the bound of life,
Where we lay our burdens down,
Nearer leaving my cross,
Nearer wearing my crown.”
At first, says the writer, these words
in such a vile place* made me shudder.
A Sabbath-school hymn in a gambling
den 1 But while the young man sang,
the elder stopped dealing the cards,
stared at the 6inger a moment, and
throwing the cards on the floor, ex
claimed :
4 Harry, where did you learn that
tune?’
4 What tun«?'
4 Why, the one you have been sin*-
ing.’
Tho young man said he did not
know wliai he had been singing, when
the elder repeated tho words, with
tears in his eyes, and tiie young man
said he had learned them in a Sunday-’
school iti.America.
4 Come,’ said the elder, getting up;
‘come, Harry, here’s what I’ve won
from you; go and use it for some good
purpose. As for me, as God sees me,
I have played my last game and drank
my last bottle. I have missed you,
Harry, and I am sorry. Give me
your hand, iny boy and say that for
old America’s sake, if for no other,
you will quit this infernal business.’
The writer says these two men left
tiie gambling house together, and
walked away arm-in-arm.
Hogs as Snake Exterminators.—A
farmer living on the west side of the river,
in walking aliout his place, discovered a
nest of rattlesnakes in an old log, about
which several large pieces of rock lay
senttcred. Our friend had heard that hogs
were death on snakes of all sorts, and not
earing to attack the nest himself, ho
thought ho would try tiro experiment and
see a tight. lie drove several hogs in the
vicinity of the nest, nnd watched the
result. Tlic lings soon seemed to scent tlic
varmints, and commenced rooting eagerly
about tlic spot. In an instant half a dozen
of the vicious serpents emerged from their
hiding places to attack tlic intruders, who
manifested a zealous disposition to go in.
A snake would rear himself to the height
of the hack of a hog, shake his rutiles, and
plunge his fangs into the animnl with light
ning-like celerity, and then dart away, pur
sued by tlic gronler, who dexterously re
ceived tlic sting upon tiie fleshy part of tlic
jaw. Time and ngain Ibis would lie re
peated, until tiie hog got his fore-foot upon
the snake, when lie would deliberately rip
Mr. Snake in twain, and. then devour him.
This slaughter continued until all tlio
snakes were disposed of, when the hogs
grunted contentedly, and, without any
signs of being disturlicd, waddled off in
search of oilier provender. Tlic eye-wit
ness to this singular contest, which was
not without its exciting features, declares
himself convinced that a pig is impervious
to the poisonous bite of any kind of ser
pent— Columbus (O.) Neu S.

44 You don't seem to belong any

Striking Fats or Guil* Three J
inhabitants of Batch traveled together. 1
They found a treasure, and they di
vided it equally among them. They
continued their journey, and enter- j
tained each other with their different‘
schemes of employing the riches they I
had so suddenly acquired. The pro
visions they had along with them were
consumed. They, therefore, agreed
that one of them should go to a neigh
boring town and buy some, and that
the youngest should execute the com
mission. He accordingly went
As he was upon the road he said to
himself: ‘Now, indeed, I am rich;
but I should havo been richer Jtad I
been alone when the treasure was
found. These two men carried off
two-thirds of my riches. Cannot I
fall upon a way of recovering them ?
That, I think, may be very easy. I
have only to poison the provisions
which I am going to buy, and on my
return say that 1 have dined in town.
My companions will eat without sus
picion and die. I have at present but
one-third of the treasure; I shall thus
have the whole of it.’
In the meantime the other two trav
elers conferred together in these terms:
4 We had little occasion for this
young fellow’s company at such a
juncture. Wc have been obliged to
give him a share of the treasure. His
part of it would have increased ours,
nnd we should have been truly rich.
He will bo back to us soon. Wc havo
good poignards.’
The young man returned with his
provisions. His companions assassi
nated him. They then ate aud died,
and none of tlic three enjoyed the treas
ure.
Borrowing Chickens. —John Bos
ton, a Fifteenth Amendment, was ar
rested in New Orleans, the other day,
for stealing chickens. Ho was very
indignant when arrested, and loudly
proclaimed his innocence. When
brought before tho magistrate he still
reiterated the (bet that ho was wrongly
accused.
‘And you deny having taken the
chickens, John ?’ asked the Court.
4 IIi, boss, sartin. I neber tuk
um.’
‘But the officer says he found
them in your possession.’
4 Bar ?’
4 You lmd them in your hands
when arrested.’
4 Ecs, salt, boss, but I didn’t stoic
um.’
4 How did you come by them ?’
4 1 borrowed um.’
4 The owner says not.’
4 Well, you see, boss, lie was asleep
when I went to borrow dem chickens,
an’ I didn’t like to ’sturb him; so 1
jits tuk ’em, an’ was gwine back do
ncx day to tell him.’
Josu Billings at Long Branch.—
The biggest thing they have got here
for the present iz the pool of water in
front of the hotels. This pool iz sed,
bi good judges, to be threo thousand
miles in length, and in some places
five miles in thickness. Into this pool
every day, at 10 o’clock, the folks all
retire males and females, widders
promiskuss. They dress in flannel
attire, ov many eollors, and look az
nearly like, when they are in the pool,
az a flock ov ducks and drakes. The
water in this pool has stood so long it
lias got salty and ought to be changed.
“ Boy, the corn which you
are hoeing there appears to bo quite
small.”
“Yes, sir, wc planted little corn.”
44 But it looks yellow.”
“Yes, sir, Dad had to go all the
way down to uncle Nat’s to get yal
lcr corn to plant.”
,7t shouldn’t think you would havo
more than half a crop.”
“No sir, we don’t expect but half
a crop—wc plant on shares.”
IT During a fine starlight even
ing lately, a three year old philoso
pher, after a silent and apparently
profound scrutiny of the heavens,
asked his mother abruptly where the
stnrs came from. Mamma replied,
‘1 dpif-t know, Willie.’ ‘Yes, you
do, too.’ ‘No, Willie, I don’t know
where the stars came from.’ 4 Well,
you bet I do. The moon laid 'em.’
This was a ‘settler’ for mamma.

Fodder.—This important foragr
crop now claims attention, as roe
shuck ripens. An exchange reeom
mends that it be tied in small parcels,
as it is stripped, and hung on the
stalk to dry, instead of being laid on
the ground and left until evening
to bind. When about three-fourths
cured, gather, and throw in good;
sized close heaps, in the evening, and
let it go through a heating process
during the night; next day throw
open the heaps—the heat will dissi
pate the remaining cure
the fodder sooner, and give it a tender
ness and flavor much relished by tho
stock. Pains should be taken to giiard
against mould and dust, which make it
injurious, and sometimes fatal to stock.
We cannot too strongly condemn thL
practice of stacking rodder or othet
forage in the field, or open air oropnd
the lot It may be pardonable in a
squatter on anew place, who has not
had time to erect barns, but is shiftless
and wasteful in the extreme, as a set
tled habit. A good farmer should pro
vide ample shelter, both for his stock
and their food, and it will pay to do it.

Clay used to say that there were t|tred
classes of persons with whom it was
never safe to quarrel:
First—Ministers. For the reason
that they had pulpits from which thg»
could denounce me, and I bad none
from which to reply.
Secondly—Editors. For they Jiad

Freckles.— To remove them, wash
the face three or four times a day,-
and every evening before going j*r
bed, with a fluid prepared thus: Take
one ounce of lemon juice, a quarter
of a drachm of powdered borax, anu
a half a drachm of pulverized sugar-
Mix together and let stand in a glass
bottle for a few days; then apply,-
and allow to dry on the skin. 2.
Another way to remove freckles ia to
mix two table-spoonfuls of grated
horse-radish in a tea-cupful of sour
milk, and apply frequently with ts
linen rag.
