BRUNSWICK ADVERTISER. BRUNSWICK, GEORGIA. TREATING THE GIRLS. AHmibome Young 9bu> Encounter with a Denf Cashier. People have noticed that one of the handsomest young men in Burlington has suddenly grown bald, and dissipa tion i9 attributed as the cause. All, no; he went to a church sociable the other week, took three charming girls out to the refreshment table, let them eat all they wanted, and then found he had left his pocket-book at home, and a deaf man that he had never seen before at the cashier’s desk. The young man with his face aflame, bent down and said softly: “ I am ashamed to say I have no change with ” “ Hev ?” shouted the cashier. “I regret to say,” the young man re peated on a little louder key, “that I nave unfortunately come away without any change to ” n “Change two?” chirped the deaf man. “ Oh, yes, I can change a five if you want it.” “ No,” the young man explained in a terrible pentrating whisper, for half a dozen people were crowding up behind him, impatient to pay their bills and get away. “ I don’t want any change, be cause—” “ Oh, don’t want no change !” the deaf man cried, gleefully. Bleegcd to ye, bleeged to ye. Tain’t often we get such generous donations. Pass over your bill.” “ No, no,” the young man explained, “I have no funds—” “Oh, yes plenty of fun,” the deaf man replied, growing tired of the conversation and noticing the long line of people wait ing with money in their hands; “but I haven’t got time to talk about it now. Please settle and move on. “But,” the young mangnsped out, “I have no money—” “Go Monday?” queried the deaf cashier. “ I don’t care when you go You must pa”’, and let those other peo ple come up.” “I have no money!” the modified young man shouted, ready to sink into the earth, while the people all around him, and especially the three girls he had treated, were giggling and chuckling audibly. “ Owe money?” the cashier said. “ Of course you do; $2.75.” “I can’t pay!” the youth screamed, and by turning his pocket inside out and yelling his poverty to the heavens he finally made the deaf man understand. He then had to shriek liis full name three times, while his ears fairly rang with the halt-stifled laughter that was break ing out all around him; and he had to scream out where he worked, and roar when lie would pay, and lie couldn’t get the deaf man to understand him until some of the church members came up to see what the uproar was, and, recogniz ing their young friend, made it all right with the cashier. And the young man went out into the night and clubbed himself, and shred his locks away until lie was bald as au egg. — Iiurlington 1fair keye. New Styles of Jewelry. Like all other branches of toilet and costume, jewerly is subject to the changes and the vagaries of fashion. The red and dark yellow gold are the most fashionable colors for ladies’ and gentlemen’s wear. The first is made of gold and copper, with a tenth ot silver for working, whilst the second is an alloy of gold, silver and copper. For red or yellow gold. Whilst turquois and blue jewelry will only he worn by blondes and persons of light complexion, coral will be in fine demand and much ‘worn, particularly the light and more delicate shades. Diamonds, as usual, will continue to be worn by the wealthy, there being n6 depreciation in the value of fine stones. In gentlemen’s jewelry the same varieties and combination of gold al.tu.dy mentioned will be fashion able. Watches will be flat eased in led gold with monograms enamel and studs, and chains will be of various styles in either red gold or red gold and platina combined. How to Keep a Subscriber. An indignant farmer recently entered the office of the Elizabeth News and or dered his paper stopped, because he dif fered from its editor in his views regard ing the advantages of subsoiling fence rails. The editor, of course, conceded to the man’s right to stop his paper, but he remarked coolly, looking over his list: “Do you know Jim Soivders, down at Hardscrabble ?” “Very well,” said the man. “Well, he stopped his paper last week because I thought a farmer was a blamed fool who didn’t know that timothy was a good thing to graft on huckleberry bushes, and lie died in four hours.” “Lord, is that so?” said the astonished granger. “Yes, and you know old George Erick son, down on Eagle Creek?” “Well, I’ve heard of him.” “Well,” said the editor, gravely, “he stopped his paper because I said he was the happy father of twins, and congrat ulated him on his success so late in life. He fell dead in twenty-minutes. Thnu are lots of similar cases, hut it don’t matter. I’ll just cross your name off, though you don’t look strong, and there’s a had color on you nose.” “Sec here, Mr. Editor,” said the sub scriber, looking somewhat alarmed, “I believe I’ll just keep on another year; ’cause I always did like your paper, and, come to think about it, you’re a young man, and allowance ought to he made;” and he departed satisfied that lie had made a narrow escape from death. How to Sow Small Seeds with Success. Novices in floriculture make frequent failures with minute seeds, like those of the lobelia, the mimulus, and the cal ceolaria, and even experienced florists do not always succeed with every sowing, as such seeds are very delicate and germin ate only under the most favorable con- Hans Christian Andersen and His Father. Andersen said that his wife was like a beautiful fairy tale, and he was un doubtedly as.happy a man as has lived. His success was so great and so precisely adapted to his desires and temperament that he tasted it all the way down, as his world-wide diocese of young folks would have said. His father was a kind and tender soul, who had such strong poetic susceptibilities himself that he filled his boy’s mind and life with gentle fancies, and preferred to tell him fairy tales, and take him, when he could, to the theater— a delight to which his slender purse was seldom equal—rather than to insist upon tasks and studies. The child is father of the man, and in this instance the man, also, in the same sense, was father of the child. The father was a shoemaker, and his son says lie was not happy in his trade, as the son certainly would not have been. The glimpse that we get of the intercourse and relation of the parent and child is very pleasing, and is just what the poet would have thought the a er relation. And since heaven sends children as it will, and not such as parents might choose, it is easy to im agine the intense delight of the elder Andersen in finding that his own secret dreams and shy fancies were shared by the young, ancl that when he had done stitching and hammering in the shop, lie could stroll boundlessly in fairyland with his child. How strangely the pic ture of the lioy Andersen and his father contrasts with that of John Stuart Mill and his father! AU that either had was left out of the childhood of the other; and the impression of Andersen’s whole life is as sunny and smiling and happy as that of Mill’s is sober and almost sad. SAYINGS AND DOINGS. Science and Farming. One of the principal requirements of the practical farmer is to known the causes as well as the means whereby useful nutritive substances present in the soil, but not in a form available for nutrition, may be rendered diffusible and capable of doing their work. The pres cnee of moisture, a certain degree ofheat and free access of air are the proximate conditions of those changes by which the nutritive substance in chemical com bination are made available for the roots. As the smallest portions of food cannot of themselves leave the spot which they are firmly fixed by the soil, we can understand what influence must be exerted on tiie fertility by its careful mechanical division anti thorough ad mixture. This is the greatest of all the difficulties the agriculturist has to over come. If the field is to produce a crop ditions. Have the soil in the pot, pan or ^ t ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ box, (a shallow box is best,) composed of! corresponding to the full amount of foot! lent mold and clean sand, two parte of | p resen t j n ;t ) the first ancl most impor- thc former to one of the latter, sifted, or \ tant condition for its accomplishment is otherwise made very line. Make the surface even and smooth, and press slightly; then sprinkle it by holding a wet brush over it and drawing the hands across the bristles so as to throw a tine spray upon the soil. On this prepared surface sow the seed, and scatter over it the slightest possible sprinkling of fine clean sand. Now cover the pot or box with a pane of glass, and keep it in the shade, watering when necessary with the spray from a brush as before directed. The soil must not be permitted to get dry, nor must it ever be deluged with water. If the seeds be sown, as is generally the ease, on a loose surface, and then watered from a watering-pot, they arc mostly carried down with the water so deep into the soil that it is impossible for them to ge minate. THE WII.l) GOOSE PLUM AND ITS COUN TERFEITS. The wild goose plum has lost favor in some quarters on account of a host of spurious varieties disseminated under its name. We have frequently spoken of the Wild Goose—we wish it had a better ladies taeteti jewelry math; imo jjeuil-j nuiuc—a« a most desirable plum, and we ’ necklaces will be much j have spoken from experience. We have said also, that, while wo highly ivcunv worn.

The extension of the roots in every di rection must not he obstructed by the cohesion of the soil. Plants with their delicate roots can not grow on a tena cious, heavy soil, even with abundance of mineral food. None of these three important constituents of food (potash, phosphate of lime and ammonia) exists by itself in a soluble form in the ground, and none of the means employed by the agriculturist to make them available to his plants deprives the soil of its power of retaining them, or, if dissolved, of withdrawing them from the solution. The principal end gained hv the means lie employs is only a uniform distribu tion of the food throughout the soil so as to put it within the reach of the roots of his plants.

Thoughtfulness for others, generos ity, modesty, and suif-respect are the qualities which make a real gentleman or lady, as distinguished from the veneered article which commonly goes by that name. A little while the roses bloom. A little while the soft winds blow, A little while the baby laughed. A little while—from hud to snow. But after all the rose is sweet.

If in our thought the rose remains, And winds arc sweet in memory, Why should not then the baby gone Forever be a babe to me? —October Atland:.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS. Pork Cake.—One pound pork, chop ped very fine; two cups sugar, one cup molasses, one pint water, one pound raisins, chopped, not very fine; one tea spoonful of cloves, one nutmeg, one tea spoonful soda. If it is iced, it will keep- some time. Cocoaxut Cakf.—Two cups sugar; half cup butter; cup sweet milk; three and a half cups flour; two egg-; two teaspoonful cream tartar; one teaspoon- ful of soda, put in the milk, stir the cream tartar in the flour; then stir alto gether without beating the eggs. For frosting use the whites of two eggs. Make the cake in six thin layers, putting frost ing ancl cocoanut between. A New Eldorado.—A dispatch from Washington says: People some years ago smiled at the idea of paying $7,001),- 000 for Alaska, upon the ground that the possession was valueless. From recent reports to the treasury department, from the collector at tfitka, it appears that the- possession promises to be a very valuable one—that is, if the recent reports are verified. The most important of the re ports forwarded by the collector is the one made by a practical miner, who has been exploring Alaska. He reports that U> uudeivUL salt, peppersne! b«n*r uour I he has found a very rich silver mining i: J ...... tv m i district—one oi tr.c richest u* the werM natural imiicaium*.

Fowl Stewed with Oysters.—Fill the inside of a young fowl with oysters; put it in ajar or tin pail, tightly closed, and put it m a kettle of water. Boil au hour and a half; there will be a quantity of gravy from the fowl and oysters; add to it a little flour made smooth in a small quantity of water, some butter, season ing to taste, and more oysters, with their liquor. Serve this with the fowl, which will be very white and tender. All the fine flavor lost in ordinary boiling will be preserved. very ample in its details, and gives a most glowing description of the untold wealth of this newly discovered region. The discovery of these mines involves also an international question; as since then some British Canandians have come in and squatted upon the territory, claiming that it lies within the British dominion. The collector of the port at Sitka is decidedly of the opinion that the mines lie in American soil. This latter point has been submitted to the state department for investigation. If the mines are as rich as represented, no doubt there will be a struggle over their possession, as at present British subjects have them in their possession.
