AA Stort with a Moral. —A young

iady, met with the following incident du
ring one of his visits:
Being invited into the parlor to await
the lady's appearance, he entertained.bira
•elfasbestbe might for some time, and
waa becoming weary, when a little’ girl
about five years old slipped in and began
to converse with biw.
“I can always tell," she said,“when you
are coming to our bowe.”
“You!" he replied,“and how do you
tell it F
“Why, when you are going to be here
sister begins to sing and get good, and she
gives me cake and pie, and any thing 1
want, and when I speak to her she smiles
so pleasantly. I wish you would stay here
all the while, then I would have a good
time. But when yon go off, aister is not
good. She gets mad, *ttd if I ask her for
anything, she slaps apil'bangs me.about.”
This was a poser for the young man.
“Fools and children tell thfl truth," quo
ted be; and taking** hafobe left and re
iurned no more.

daughters married, should keep their small
children out of the parlor when strangers

Grease The "Wheels. Oil and
black lead is supposed to be the best sub
stance, but we have always found lard and
flour apparently as good. If the wheels are
kept well lubricated, very Iktio difference
will befound between the ease of running
wooden and iron axles in ordinary farm
work. The smaller the axle, the less will
always be the friction, other things being
equal; because the spokes have a grealer
purchase, the friction being the resisting
force, and being nearer the end of the lever
when the axle is small.
Worth Knowing.— A poiaion of any
conceivable description and degree of po
tency, which has been swallowed, inten
tionally or by accident, may be rendered
almost instantly harmless by swallowing
two gilfc of sweot oil. An in dividual with
a very zttong constitution should take
twice the .quantity. This oil will neu
tralize every form of vegetable or mineral
poison with whteh physicians and chemists
are acquainted. —Lynchburg News.
‘That’s a fine strain,’ said one gentleman
to another, alluding to the tones of a sing

said a countryman who aat near, ‘but if he
strains much more lie’ll bast.’
Patience, application, and courage, over
come all difficulties.
