ONE-HALF WAS BLACK.
A worthless wag was Philo Freer,
A vagabond Rente and queer,
« ho did as uttle as he could
To earn a scanty livelihood.
A laughing, luckless, lazy lout,
" ho hunted, fished and loafed about,
Or ran on errands for his bread—
who never had a cent ahead
A being of that curious kind
The traveler will always find
On coming to a country town.
Before the tavern, sitting down.
Ope day a showman passed that way.
Whose name was Eppanetus Bray-
An easy-going sort of man,
Who travel<si with a “caravan”—
Exhibiting where’er he went,
Beneath a dusky canvas lent,
A two-legged hors , three-legged hen,
A woman with a wondrous wen,
A Tartar girl with fourteen toes,
That balanced bottles on her nose,
A dwarf that danced an Irish jig,
A snake and educated pig;
And otlie things as litre and strange,
By which he shrewdly gained his change—
Great things from little nothings grow,
Like “Bray’s Behemoth Moral Show."
One sultry day, Freer, meeting Bray,
Said to him. in usolemn way;
“ J saw about a month ago
A splendid subject for your show—
A great attraction you’ll admit
Th ■ moment I have told of it;
A man whose face was one-half black.
And 1 can put you on his track.
And will, it you will promptly pay
fc A double Xto me to-day."
* Agreed," the anxious showman cried.
1 hen, follow me,” the rogue replied.
The money paid. Through highways mean,
By by-ways narrow and uncl an—
Freer b <1 the way till Bray began
To wonder where they’d find their man.
At last Freer paused, and, with a leer.
He said to Bray: “ Behold him here!"
1 he showman gazed from where he stood,
M And saw a n .gro sawing wood.
„ Ton see," said Freer, with accent keen,
ilotri halves are. b'a -lc and arc green."

Time.
Human ingenuity cannot make time.
It can only intent niet!::>!s of rneasui
ing the hours nnd minutes as they
pass. When tiie earth was young,
shadows cast by sun-1 earns noted the
passing hours. From these sprang the
sun-dial, which answered while the
sun shone, but failed while the sky was
cl< rd). 1 hen water-clocks, or clepsy
dr.e, as they are technically known,
came into use. By these, Athenian
orators wore wont to time their
speeches two thousand years ago. After
the water-clock came the hour-glass of
running sand, and for three hundred
years this was the common method of
measuring time. Even fifty years ago
it was employed in churches to inform
"the elder’' when he hud preached
enough. Meantime, various rude forms
of clocks had been constructed, hut
none of much use. Not until the in
vention of the pendulum in the middle
of the seventeenth century, and its ap
plication to clocks, did they become re
liable. The clocks and watches of to
day are so numerous and cheap, that
nearly every s;-hooi-bov can atlord to
carry a ‘•time-piece." let all the
<’!<> ks and watches in the wqrld cannot
te'l the time of da;, unless regulated
with the sun. They merely show the
amount of passing time. The sun
shows what time it is, whether morn
ing. noon or night.
Strange mistakes are often made by
relying solely on clock-time. A party
oi travelers, not long ago, were on I heir
Wav west through Arizona. Arriving
at \ uma at eight o’clock, railroad time,
they were surprised to find the dining
room clock indicating an hour earlier.
Still more were they surprised, after
having leisure'y eaten breakfast, to
learn on embarking again, that it was
but si.r o’clock. Strange, the) thought;
arrive at eight: breakfast at seven; and
leave at six! Two hours gain 1 But the

Could a man continually travel around

Lay a Fainting Person Down.
It is surprising how everybody rushes
Rt a fainting person and strives ‘to raise
hint up, and especially to keep his head
erect. 1 here must b- an instinctive
appreheus on that if a person seized
with a fainting or other tit fall into the
recumbent position death is more im
minent. 1 must have driven a mile to
day while a ladv a tiling was held up
right. 1 found her pulseless, white,
and apparently dving.' and 1 believe
that if 1 had delayed ten minutes
longer she would really have died. 1
laid her head down oil a lower level
than her body, and immediately co’or
returned to het lips and cheek-, and she
became conscious. To the excited
group of friends 1 said: Always re
member this fact—namely: fainting is
caused by a want of blood in the brain;
the heart ceases to act with sufficient
force to send the usual amount
of blood to the brain, ;md
hence the person loses consciousness
because the function of the bran
ceases. Restore the blood to the brain
and instantly the person recovers. Now,
though the blood is propelled to all parts
of tlie body by the action of the heart,
vet it is still under the influence of the
laws of gravitation. In the erect posi
tion the blood ascends to the head
agahist gravitation, and the supply to
tlie brain is diminished, as compared
with the recumbent position, the heart's
pulsation being equal. If, then, von
place a person sitting whose heart has
nearly ceased to beat, his brain will fail
to receive blood, while if vou lay him
down, with the head lower than the
heart, blood will run into the brain by
lhe rn. re force of gravity; and. in faint
ing, in sufficient quantity to restore con
sciousness. Indeed, Nature teaches us
how to manage the fainting persons, for
they always fall, and frequently are at
once restored by the recumbent posi
tion into' which they are thrown.—.)/<</.

What Shall Fanners Eat 1
The home departments of the agri
cultural papers have of late been criti
cising the farmers on their manner of
living, and giving them much advice in
regard to what they shall eat, the larg
est portion being a diatribe against fat
pork, till the reader, not acquainted
with farmers, would suppose that this
was their principal living. We do not
propose to enter into any hygienic ar*
guments as to the relative values of va
rious foods for producing strength and
health, but the writer hereof knowing
something of the habits of farmers and
their families, is moved to say that on
their tables will be found, on an average,
food as wholesome and as well pre
pared as on those of any class of people
we have; and there is no occasion for
wasting any sympathy on them, for
they are the healthiest, strongest, and,
statistics show, the longest lived of any
class or occupation considering their
numbers.
'1 he voluntary advisers say that the
farmer’s diet of pork and potatoes and
beans brings dyspepsia and its evils;
which would be very correct if it were
true; fortunately it is not, and from a
large acquaintance with farmers we can
say that this is not what ails them.
One writer sayst Farmers eat too
■much iat meat and too little green food
to sustain the system in a proper condi
tion. (Jive a Frenchman or a German a
head of lettuce, a couple of hard boiled
eggs, with vinegar, salt and pepper, and
a loaf of bread, with a cup of coffee, and
he will fare more sumptuously than an
American upon roast meat of any kind."
Now we know what ails these French
men. Such a combinat ion of oil, salt,
pepper and vinegar is enough to kill
them. Ask any hard-working farmer
how much wheat a man could rake and
bind on such a dinner. Another of
these hygienic writers says “Lettuce
and onions mixed together, with only
i sail, vinegar, pepper and a little sugar,
can be .-eiM'd at any time, with good es
-1 feet upon the health of the family." If
raw on <>ns with salt, vin gar and pep
per will not produce dtspej s a, there is
no need to cal] in tat pork or any other
food found on farmers’ tables. People
should remember that there is much of
Iruth in the adage: “What is one man’s
meat may be another s poison." 'The
farmer, strong, active, hard-working
ami always in the open air, eats meat
and needs it, even fat meat. His di
gestive organ-are strong also, and he
knows nothing of dyspepsia. Long
days and hard work, even in summer,
exhaust the muscular system, and good
substantial food is required to supply
the waste. This light green fodder is
good as an appetizer, but as the main
article of food will not answer, but eaten
extensively will weaken rather than
strengthen the hard worker, while the
condiments are to be used as little as
possible.
hen we see recomendations to
| farmers to eat only light vegetable
food, we are reminded of a story we
once read of a farmer who kept his
hired man on short rations, and going
out one day to the hay field saw him
mowing languidly and singing this re
frain:
■’ Buttermilk and whey; faint all day.”
! 'I he farmer concluded he would
i change his rations and gave him a sub
stantial breakfast the next day. On
■ going out to the field he saw him
I swinging his scythe with great energy,
and this time singing to fast time.
“Hamand eggs; tukccare of yur legs."
And this represents pretty fairly to
the worker the difference in the two
classes of diet.
The horseman who demands the
longest drives and the heaviest work
itoin his teams feeds them on cured hay
and old oats. The groom never feeds
the racer or trotter on new oats, no
matter how fine they are, till they have
been thresh, d for weeks and become
well dried and hard.
Hut the question may be fairly asked:
What shall the farmer eat? VVe will
answer this for ourselves, practically,
not, perhaps, scientifically, or with any
theory as to the probable' effect of this
or that on the system.
The farmer does his hardest work in
ihe summer months. ] n the very heat
of dog days he works hardest, and for
that very reason needs good substantial
food. He cannot afford to waste any
strength in digesting a large quantity
to get a little nutriment; nor is it con
ducive to health. Most hard-working
people need meat; well fattened
nicely cooked fat perk in moderate
quantities will not be hurtful. Mutton
should be used more extensively b\ the
farmer. With the ice box which many
now have, a carcass can be easily kept
till it can be consumed, or neighbors
can exchange with each other and
divide into smaller portions. Well
cured ham—boiled is the best—with
eggs makes a good foundation fora day
in haying. A moderate quantity of
fresh vegetables in variety and also ripe
fruits in their season green, never
cooked or uncooked. Green corn and
that class of food daily if desired in its
season, but always in moderation.
Although many farmers are open
to criticism in lack of product in the
vegetable and fruit garden, both for
summer and winter use, ii is asking too
much to require them to make these
their sole diet.
Ihe farmer who gives his laborers
good substantial food, not trying to
confine them to mush and milk for
breakfast and green salad tor dinner,
will get the best day’s work from them.
The farmer who eats roast beef and
mutton and tat pork, who takes a daily
bath in the summer, and does not over
work in the hot days, may not expect to
reach above threescore and ten, but the
years will be full of labor, and he will
leave behind him a farm well tilled.

What Petrofeum Im.
The casual visitor to the Pennsylvania
oil region, as he views the greasy fluid
gushing from its rich reservoirs, two
thousand feet below the surface, finds
himself involuntarily asking the primal
question, Where does it come from, and
how and where was it formed P A puz
zling question, surely, and, if propound
ed to any competent and thorough
geologist, would only elicit a shake of
the head, and the brief reply that he
didn’t know. But however careful the
scientific man may be about advancing
a theory that the discoveries of to-mor
row may knock higher than a kite, the
average Yankee never allows a conun
drum of this kind to be propounded to
him without making one or more at
tempts at guessing it, The difficult
question of the origin of petroleum has
not seemed to his prolific mind too big
to be grappled with, and at present two
popular theories exist in regard to this
interesting subject, each of which has
its strenuous advocotes.
The first of these theories holds that
the rock in which the oil is now found is
the parent rock in which it originated.
The Pennsylvania oil rocks are a series
of sand rocks of varying thickness, scat
tered somewhat irregularly over the
northwestern part of the State, and
prolific in oil atdepths below the surface
varying from five hundred to two thou
sand feet. Originally they were depos
-1 ited by the action of water, either as
j long stretches of sea-beaoh or immense
sand-bars formed by eddying and
whirling currents. The advocates of
the parent-rock theory maintain that
along with this sand was deposited or
ganic vegetable or animal matter, which,
by the chemical action of the succeeding
ages, has been transformed into oil and
gas, and kept stored in these hermetic
ally-sealed reservoirs until the searching
drill of the enterprising oil-operator
should penetrate its hidden chambers
and bring it forth to light an inquiring
and busy world.
In confirmation of this theory its
advocates point to the coal deposits,
■ which are now generally considered to
have originated from a vast deposit of
i vegetable matter which grew and
decomposed for ages, and then, by the
I combined action of heat and enormous
i pressure, were packed away in solid
| masses to provide the future fuel for
I the world. A chemical analysis of the
i two articles, coal and petroleum, dis
closes the fact that they contain nearly
the same elemental ingredients, in
slightly different proportions, perhaps,
but practically the same, the only real
difference consisting in the fact that
one is now a solid and the
other a fluid. As the oil is
found at a distance of from one thou
sand to two thousand feet below the
: prolific coal measures, and, if deposited
along with the sand rock in which it is
now found, must be many ages older
than the coal deposits, it is argued that
the immensely longer period since its
■ original deposit, and the higher tem
’ perature to which it is subjected by its
I greater depth below the surface, "may
! easily account for the chemical action
necessary to make it a fluid instead of a
s did, as in the case of coal.
The second and more generally ac
cepted theory is that the petroleum : a
formed by the constant distillation of
! gas from the underlying carbonaceous
J shales of the Silurian period, which in
the Pennsylvania oil region are sup
posed to lie at a sufficient depth to be
subjected to a high temperature and to
be constantly generating gases. If this
| theory is accepted, the conditions neces
i sary for the formation of petroleum de
posits are three-fold. First, a geological
horizon deep enough below the surface
to generate gases by the operations of
internal heat; second, a horizon of
proper temperature for the purposes of
condensation, and third, a reservoir for
storing the condensed petroleum. The
advocates of this theory claim that these
lower shales lie at the proper depth to
fill the first of these conditions, and that
the gas thus generated, being very light
and of a peculiarly penetrating nature,
arises through the crevices anil fissures
of the overlying rocks until it reaches
the horizon of condensation, which they
claim, according to developments made
by the drill, varies in distance from five
hundred to two thousand feet below the
surface. The third condition is fulfilled
according to this theory by these sand
rocks, which, lying within the horizon
of condensation and being of a porous
nature, hold the condensed petroleum
as a sponge holds water. These rocks
are hermetically settled at the top b) an
impervious shell, which prevents the
lighter portions of the oil and ga> from
escaping to the surface until this the 1 is
penetrated by the oil-operator’s drill,
when it gushes forth with astonishing
force. If this theory is correct, then in
all probability the process of formation
is constantly in operation, though pro
ceeding at a very slow rate, the immense
deposits lately discovered being the slow
accretion of untold ages.
The advocates of this theory fortify
themselves by the statement 'that the
series of Devonian rocks in which the
nil deposits are now found extend over
a great deal of territory in which the
drill fails to find oil, and that if the
theory of original deposit of the petrol
eum-producing matter along with these
same deposits were true then the oil
should be found wherever the rock is
found. On the contrary, they claim the
rock may exist where there are no under
lying shales to produce the petroleum
ga-es, or the overlying strata may be
I upheaved to such an extent that the
gases may escape to t he surface t hrough
vertical fissures and thus mingle wi h
the atmosphere and ho lost. In proof
of this they cite the fact that no oil has
been discovered eastward of the line
which marks the beginning of the Alle
gheny upheaval, and that the vertical
fissures caused by this upheaval have
rendered the formation of petroleum de
posits impossible in that locality. They
also cite in support of this theory the
further fact that no oil has been dis-
I covered at a depth exceeding five hun
dred feet below sea level, although the
drill has penetrated far greater depths
in many instances and succeeded in
tapping the petroleum gases. They
argue from this that if the gases are
found at great depths, but no oil, then
it follows that oil is the product of con
densation, which can only take place
where a sufficiently low temperature ex-
ists, and this is to be found only within
the limits above described. The in
quiry is full of interest to the inquisitive
mind, and we simply present to the
readers of The Times these two popu
lar theories for what they are worth,

Letters of Introduction.
People who Write letters of introduc
tion should be careful hoW they word
them. A merchant of this City, who
knows more about invoices than elegant
diction, was asked by a wealthy resident
to give him a letter of introduction to a
capitalist stopping over in the city and
with whom the merchant was acquaint
ed. When the missive was ready the
gentleman took it and, instead of send
ing it up to the stranger and waiting
till he was requested to see him, he de
livered it himself, following on the heels
of the servant who ushered him in. He
is a very plain-looking man and his
dress is always a semi-respectable busi
ness suit, and as he unobtrusively
handed the letter to the stranger, who
was reclining at his ease, he waited anx
iously to open the business about which
he had called.
But the letter begat! with the usual
formula, "The bearer of this," and the
capitalist read that far, folded it up, re
turned it, and said, impatiently; "My
good man, I can really do nothing for
you; no doubt it is the old story —large
family—been unfortunate, etc.; but you
must excuse me from giving you any
thing to-day, you really must!"
Explanations ensued, and the two cha
grined men had a good laugh over the
affair, and the capitalist ordered liquid
which cost much more
than the charity would have been which
he didn’t propose to bestow on the un
fortunate stranger.
A more annoying mistake occurred to a
young man, the nephew of a well-known
New York official, who went to a town
in the interior of the State to idle away
a vacation in fishing and hunting. Pre
vious to his departure his uncle remem
bered that the clergyman of the place
was an old college friend, a’nd he gave
the young man a line of introduction,
which he dutifully took, but did not in
intend to present. The clergyman,
however, had a very pretty daughter,
and the young man bethought him of
his letter and armed with it made a raid
on the parsonage where the pretty
daughter entertained him charmingly in
the parlor, while the servant took the
letter to the father. In a few moments
word was sent down that the reverend
gent’eman excused himself from receiv
ing his visitor. The daughter presumed
there was a mistake, and hastened to
her father, only to be informed that his
resolution was inflexible—he had laid
the letter away—and he would give no
further explanation, but the young man
must be peremptorily dismissed, and
the mortification of the visitor at this
unexpected rebuff may be imagined.
He wrote at once to his uncle, but as he
was absent from home for a week did
not get an answer. He occasionally
met the young lady, but received only a
cool bow, and at last the uncle’s letter
came. He was highly indignant at the
slight put on his nephew, and demanded
of his old friend the reason. The bewil
dered theologue read the letter sent for
the. young man, apologized, and said:
“ I suppose it was a joke of your un
cle’s, but I must say it was in extreme
ly bad taste, and—l took it literally—
here is his first note," and he read slow
ly through his glasses these words:
Dear Old Friend.
This letter will Introduce mv nephew. He
is a tramp. Treat him as one! etc.
Yours, etc.
Bat the daughter reached out and
took the paper. "Let me read it; there
must be some mistake; your eyes are
not good, papa," and she read as fol
lows :
Dear Old Friend.
This letter will’ntroduce my nephew, lie
is a trump. Treat him as one I etc.
“Well, well," said the old gentleman,
laughing merrily, "why don’t people
write more plainly, and how was I to
know the difference?”
But the young lady evidently did.—

“Stranger, I take it,” observed an

“Anything else startling that sea-

“That summer of '49? Well, I
