AND A FORCIBLE LESSON AS TO HOW TO CURE HEI!. « “ “Yes, professor, I am afraid l shall have to rent or sell my farm. My wile is so miserable, I cannot carry it on without hiring, and hiring eats up all the best pro fits/' I looked at the speaker sdmir irgly. He was about 60, and as robust as a man of 30. //is whis kers weie neaily trimmed, show ing a full red cheek. He wore a jaunty hat and natty cutaway coat, and below liis vest hung a silk fob and a heavy gold seal. I was proud of hair, lie was such a perfect picture of the New York gentleman from the rural districts that I wanted to impriut his picL lire on my memory. “So your wife is miserable ?” I said. “Yes, kinder droopin,’ with a dry cough and no ambition. She jest kinder drags around the house and looks so peaked aud tcrawney it gives me the blues. L does, I swan:” “Naturally weakly, wasn’t she?” “She. Oh ro When 1 mar ried her she was the smartest girl on the creek. She used to work foi father, and the way she made the work stand took my eye. She was a poor girl, and her industry got her a rich husband.” Heie he carelessly took out a gold watch, looked at the time, put it back, adjusted the silk fob on the from ot bis nicely fi ling trousers. “So »be did well, get bug mar ried on account cf he industry” “Why of course; she was get ting only $2.50 per week, aud she became mistress of a farm.” “Excuse uie, but now much are you woitfi now, confidentially, you know, lam a scientific man, uud will uever use such facts to your injury with lire assessor.” “Web professor, I could crowd $50,000 pretty hard.” “That is good, //ow long have you been married?’’ “Tnirty years next Fourth of July. We went dowu to Albany on a little teeter, aud I proposed the match and faue was willing. “How much do you suppose you have made in these tl irty years?’’ “Hum—urn —lemine see. I got ihe Davis farm the first ten years, then 1 run in debt for the Sim mons place, got war prices for my efieese and squared up both places. Well, I think I have up $30,000 since we spiiyd.” Very good, iudeed. Ank your wife has been a great help all this lime?” “Oh, you bet She was a rat tler. She took care of her baby aud the milk from twenty cows. 1 tell you Bhe made the tiuware flop. Why, we have had four children, and she i.ever hud a hired g rl ov er six months in that time. ’ “Spieudid; and you Have clear.' ed $30,000 in that tune? ’ “Yes, easy.” “Now how much bus your wife made ?’ “b he, why darn it, professor, the is my wife.” “I know it. But what has she made? You say she was poor when you married her. Now what has she made?’ “Why, by gum, you beat all. Why, she is my wile aDd we own it all together.” “Do you? Then she can draw on your bunk account? Then she has ahorse aud a cairiage when soe wants them? Theu she has a servant when bhe wants one? Tien the rides out for her health, and has a watch aud chain of gold as you do? ls that so?’ “Profemor, you must be cra zy, Nobody’s wife is boss in that shape. Who ever beard of such a thing ?’ "Now, look here. You said she did well in marrying rich, and I cannot see it. If she was get ting $2.50 per week whtn you married her, and had srved her wages, she wou d have bad $3,600 If she had iuvensted it she would have had $5,000. Now you tell me she is broAeu down, Übed up and miserable, ai a looks so bud she makes you sick, aud she has no money, no help, and will get probably nothing hut a Sc.o ch granite tombstone when she dies.’ “Professor, if yon were a young er man, I would lick you ' quick er’n a spring lamb can jump a thistle." “What for? lam staring this case fairly, am I not ? Yout wife is no longer young. She is no longer handsome. Her hands are as hard as an editor's cheek, and «he l»as a hump a 1 ir back line a peddler,” sjf j: V “Shut up, will you?” “She raised four children. One of them is at college One is ta king m .sic let-sons at Ilos on. The other two are teaching ichool She is a, heme alone, going around iu a treadmill life which will end in a country funeral.” “Stop that professor, will you?’ ‘While you are still a handsome man, with just enough gray in your whiskers to make you look interesting, no doubt you have been thinking of soma nice young gitl of 18 who would jump at the chance to marry your tfiiity cows and twenty acres of hope.’ ‘P.ofessor, I wont s>ay here if you don’t let up on that.’ ‘And your wife does not look weU in that new Watertown wa 1 - tertown wagon, so you lake your hired man and neighbors’ girls to meeting.

Early made liis great raid on Washington, I was scouting between his advance and the city, and was captured within the city limit* iwenty-fom hours before ins battle-flags appeared in sight. I was dressed in citizen’s cloihes, pretended to be deaf and dum, and claimed to have been driven out of Richmond because I had written threatening letters to Jefferson Davis. ivnad been inside the forufica tiouA for half a day, ard was slows ly working out, when a couple ot young men, both of whom were considerably the worse lor liquor, halted me and wanted to fight. I had a pencil and a block of paper wiili me, and I wiote: ‘Lain deaf and dumb.’ 1 fiat made no difference with them’ iudeed, they declared that it would be quite a novel idea to Jick a deal and dumb man, and one of them gave me a cull on the ear. In those days I weighed 160 pounds and had the muscle of a prize fighter 1 tried to gel away from them without furtbe trouble, but when I hey seemed determined to have a row, I gave them all they wanted, and wasn’t many minutes about ii. A crowd of soldiers and civilians collected, the provost guard caiiie up and the result was as I hud anticipated. 1 was ar rested aud carried off to a guard house. One of the young men, who afterward turned out to be related to a iu«inber of the capi nei, fol owed ui to the office of the provest marshal aud charged me witn being a spy. No one seemed to entertain a boubt that I was deus and dumb, as I claim ed, and my examination was car ried on in writing. 1 was asked my name, ago, where born, and a hundred other quv.s ions, and then searchid. They fouud nothing on mo of a criminating nature, and l reasoned that I would he detain ed until after ihe excitement had passed and then turned loose. After bring detained three days an officer on loved my quarters one morning and bawl to me; ‘Wei l , dummy, you can pack up and get out ’ Tile minute I heard his step outside I waß on tuy guard, hut he spoke in such a natual- ton* thut I cane near giving myself away. On three different occasions dur ing the war I play the part of a deaf and dumb man, and I tell you it takes ah tire nerve and presence of mind a man can ca/l up. I sat facing the door, and, while I heatd his words, I made uo movement. He came clo-er to me and said; ‘Coaie, pack up our iraps; you are to be turned lcoye,’ I looked him straight in the eyes without winking, and after a bit i a look ol chagrin stole over bis face and ho motioned for me to follow him. He took me to the provost marshal’s office, and I was ushered into a private room, where the marshal ana hree or four other officials were sea ed. On tile way to the office, as we cross ed a wide street, tho officer suds deuly exclaimed; ‘There’s a runaway horse—look out!’ If I hadn’t been expectiug such thing on his part I might have betrayed myself. 1 gave do sign, continuing on with my head down, I heard him growling; ‘They think they ve got a suck er, but tiieyTl find out their mis take!’ I eatered the office knowing that every irick would be resorted to breuk me down, aud my nerves were bracked as if to charge a bat tery of artillery. I was left stand ing by the door for a moment, when one of the officials ooked up quietly and said: ‘/'ake a seat,-ir, anil we’il at tend to you in a moment,’ I made no move, but looked around the room in a stupid sort ot way. I was looking out of Hie window on to a roof when the same official said; ‘You may come forward and take this chair ’ I stood like a stone, and be rose up, came over to me, and led me to a chair at tbe table When I was seated one cf the others re marked; ‘Write your name, age and lust place of re?i deuce on a slip of pa per. Tint wai trick number three, aud it failed, as tie others had done. By and by the mar filial wrote on a slip of paper; ‘Who are you and where from?’ I wrote in reply; ‘I am Charles Jones, of liich mon d.’ ‘But you are a Union man,’ aug gostrd ore officer aloud. 1 saw his lips move, but be got no sign from Tbe evaminution continued iu this manner for a full hour, tbe men using every ar tifice lo trap me, but tley fai'ud to score a single point. I knew they would reserve the sharpiest trick (or the last and was there fore nerved up for it. At length ihe marshal pushed hack in his chair, poiuled his finger at my bream and angrily exclaimed: ‘Wheve did that Confederate hutibu come from?’ It was another failure: then he turned toward his cnaipauious and said : ‘Gent eoieD, it’s no use, Uie man is ceituinly deaf and dumb, and a d—d fool besided.’ ‘We Lave wasted our town,’ re pilieJ a second He is not only that he claims to be, but in ybe of gieat service to us. I’d have the officer take him over to the fcjccreiary of War.’ ‘i guess 1 will,’ said the officer, and lie rang a bell and I heard the door open. Thau he turned to me, careless us you please, and said : •Uo with the officer.' It was, their last .shot. 1 uever moved a muscle uniil the office ap ptoacl ed and placed his hand on me. I was taken buck to the guaid fieuse; kept a prisoner for another week, and then the dis gusted marshal turned me loose in Lfin sheet, HE WE.

COGITATIONS ON THE TOP RAIL, The fun of sleighing is more in the jingie of the bells than in the speed of the troiter. Memory fattens er. trouble while the body grows lean. Never 1 uu when walking will an swer the same purpose—it is a useless watte of tis-ue. The grin on the other lelkw’s face is far more aggravating than the fact that he has just whipped you. When a fellow really wants lo fight he does scream for some one to hold him. It is a positive iuxury to have some folks abuse you. If a business man publishes tbe fact that honesty is his motto, the commum yis apt to fight shy of him. A tight shoe is more of a tyrant than either a socialist or a boycot ier. The problem of life will be sol ved when you want nothing and can get nothing. It is always some one else’s let ters we forget t u mail. When a man is painfully annus cent watch him. Imprudence will take you further than timidity and also get you whipped ofteuer —Detroit Free Press. A LEAK ON MANY FARMS.

Our worthy tax collector sent out in January a batch of tax li las. to he collected in the 175th dies trici, aud he has recently received returns of what was done, the affi davit below being a part thereof. The constable called on au old colored rnah and demanded pay ment at once. The darkey said fucugh he had never seen f/eorge Washington, slilt he was too old .o be “taxerable." The officce asked information of the learned Justice of ttat bailiwick as to now to re poit. “Tell him,” said his honor, (lidlo h of course), “he mus: swear to his age—in the absence ol sus picious testimony this will do. Explain to him how he must make an affidavit ’' It appears the constable d'd so; for in a fsw days a son of the old man brought the J P. the paper below, and when asked who bad got up the “docy mont’’ said, “Me and sis fixed up it fur ’em.” The text was as follows: jail 30. 1885, mr wilynm r smiih taxer of wilkes county. mr Hurt moooly ohcwo Lj- tl.« ges is of die peas that on a count of his agiii'y lie uint taxerble and tliair fore lie uint axerlile verry respectfully Hurt mosely GOOD RULES FOR TELLING HORSES’ AGES. The full-grown horse possesses twenty-four back teeth, t hat i s six ill each side oieach jaw ; these are called molars or grinders. He Ims twelve front teeth, that is six in each jaw- Mates have uo tuches. 7’he loai bus either at iia birth, or shortly afterward, eight,milk teeth, that is, four in each jatv ; at about 12 memh two more milk teeth come iu each jaw Tuese remain unchanged till Ira isSyeaisold. The mouth of ihe yearling aud the 2 years old cauuot be con founde. Tbe yearling mouth shows no signs of use, and the corner teeth are shells only ;at 2 years oid these tteiu ure strong aud well gr.wn. and the cornet teeth filled up. A little before 3 year- old tbe two centre teeth of each jaw fall out, aud are replaced by permanent teeth. A lit tie be fore 4 ihe iwo teeth on each side of tne cautre teeth are replaced by permanent ones. A little be fore 5, the two reinainintr teeth are bed, and iu their place come permanent ones. TKe upper milk teeth usually fall out first. Thus the oiomh is complete as to its front tvetli; the corner iooth > however, is but imperfectly devel ed, being a< present a shell enly ; (his shell at 6 years old has tilled up aud is a complete tooth. This is the difference between a 5 aud a 6 year old. The tushes appear bi tween 3| to 4 years old, ard they take nearly two years to ar. rive at their full growth. These teeth, as the horse grows older, get blunter and shorter, and so to au experienced judge are a sure indication of age. Up to 6 years old the mouth is m a distinct and periodical state of slriccural change, 7'here is no difficulty iu determining the age up to tha < date. After that the age must be judged by the shape of the mou/h and ihe appearonce of the teeth called the mark. At 6 years of uge the cups have two centre teeth above, at 7 ibe next!wo above, and at 8 tho outer or corner teeth above. A' 9 the two ceutre /eeffi below lose the cups, at 10 the next iwo below, and at 11 the outer o r corner I6eth Below. The changes that occur are the same in all hors es, of nearly so.
