Getting Kid of the Spirit.
When spiritualism first made its apjxa-
rance in the village of old deacon
Isaacs, a wealthy man, who had stood by
the church for nearly three score years,
was exceedingly bitter against all believ
ers in "the devil's work." as he called it,
and denounced spiritualism in no very
genile lanjruagc. Imagine the deacon's
anger, then, when six month's alterwards
he lound it had worked its way into his
own family, and not only were his wife
and daughters believers, but one of them
was a medium, aud possessed full power to
converse with the spirits, of those who had
depaitcd to that 'bourne from which no
traveller returns.'
Deacon Isaacs was mad dreadfully mad
but he had wit enough not to show U,
and he bore the tauuts of the ungodly with
a meek spirit. lie knew it would be use
less to declare open war, for Mrs. Isaacs
alone had always proved more than a
match for him, and be was sure to be de
feated. He roust circumvent the critter,
as he expressed it, and to that eud he set
himself to work. He was a man of sound
judgment, aud his worldly extcrieuce of
fifty years was not thrown away, i rom
the day it first came to his knowledge that
his wife and daughters were spiritualists
he never spoke a word against nor did he
ever allude to it, except in general terms,
in his morning prayers ; but any one could
see it troubled bim, for he was absent
minded, his eyes wandered restlessly, aud
his countenance looked care worn.
The deacou witnessed one or two sittings
at his house, and was satisfied that if he
possessed a little more knowledge he could
get rid of the aunoyauce. bo one morn
ing he etartedjbr the city, determined to
thoroughly investigate the subject betore lie
returned. After visiting two of the most
popular mediums, and paying his mouey,
be returned home satisfied tliat he could
pec through it.
There was a silting at the deacon's house
on the night he returned, and his daughter
Mary the medium invited the deacon to
take a seat at the table, which to her grati
cation, was accepted. The spirits were in
a good tune, and so exceedingly comma
nicative that the deacon was induced to
ask a few questions which were readily an
swered, and his wife and daughters were
in extacies at the thought that the father
would yet be a believer, aud urged the dea
con on in his inquiries.
Has my wife always been true to her
marriage vows ? a6ked the dcacen.
To this question there was no raps in
return, while Mrs. Isaacs sat transfixed
with bolv horror that such a thought
should enter ber husband's mind.
How many years have passed since she
was untrue ?
Answered by single raps. Then came
slowly and solemnly, one, three, four and
no on uutil they reached twenty.
How many who claim to be arc my chil
dren r
Again the spirit rapped one, two.
Mrs. Isaacs looked dumbfounded.
Mcrcy !' said Mary.
Which are they, asked the deacon, who
now seemed so intent on his subject, that
he paid no attention to his companions.
Mary Sarah, rapped the spirits the
names of two daughters, the oldest of whom
was under twenty.
Mrs. Isaacs could stand it no longer.
It's a lie! 1 didn't 1 It's a lie ! she shriek
cd, using from the table; they are your
children, deacon Isaacs, aud God knows it.
But the spirits affirm differently, said the
liieu they he I said his Wife.
But if you balievc in them in everything
else, w by not in this ?
But I don't believe in them at all, it is all
foolery.
Xor I, shouted Mary.
Nor I, added Sarah.
Then, said the Deacon, while a smile il
luminated his countenance, we will Oid
them good-bye, and leave those things
which God has wisely hidden from us to
be revealed in bis time.
Mrs. Isaacs was so glad that none of the
neighbors were present ; but somehow
the story got wind, and so fearful were the
dames of N that they might be caught
in some trap which the deacon had tct,
that spiritualism was driven entirely from
the village.
The following Is an exact copy of an in
dorsement made by a member of Congress
on a claim, last week : "Thereby curtyfy
that I am personally acquainted with the
circumstances of this case and am satisfid
that the services were rendered and moiiy
expended as slated within and am satisfide
that the claim is Just and right and I re
spectfully recommeud the payment."

Drawing Screws. Few thiugs, says
nn exchange, are more vexatious than ob
stinate screws which refuse to move, much
less to be drawn out ; and in the struggle
agaiust screw driver power suffer the less
of their beads, like conscientious martyrs
rather then take a single half turn back
ward from the course they have followed
and from the position they have letn forced
into. Like obstinate children, they must
be coaxed, or rapped pretty hard on the
head, according to circumstances ; in fact,
whoever has a tight, obstinate screw to
draw out,' must keep his temper down
and his resolution up quite as much to the
sticking- point as the screw does. It the
screw is turned into iron, and not very
rusty, it is only necessary to clear the head
with the wedge of the driver, and let a few
drops of oil jienetrate to the threads ; but,
finding that excessive heal or rust has al
most fixed the screws immutable, then
heat, either by placing a piece of hot iron
upon it, or directing the flame of the blow
pipe upon the head, and, after applying a
little oil, turn out gently ; but care must be
taken not to let the tool slip so as to dam
age the notch. If, however, the strew re
fuses to come out, try to force it back with
a biunt chisel, smartly but carefully tapped
with a light hammer ; but if evidently
nothing can dislodge the enemy, it is befet
to cut the head away and drill out the
screw. When an obstinate screw happens
to be iu wood, meiely give it a few taps on
the head ; but failing in that, heat it with
a piece of hot iron, when it may be easily
turned.
An eloquent country editor thus de
scribe a new organ : "The swell died
away in a delicious suffocation, like ouc
ingiuga sweet song under the hed-clothes. "
Tennessee has taken another step for
ward. The Supreme Court of that State
has decided that marriages between whites
and blacks are legal.

learned from evil companions, or at schsol, the
effects of which are nightly felt, even when
hrIpph. and if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and destroys both uiiud and body, should
utmlv immediatelv.
What a pity that a young man, the hope of his
countrv. the darline sf his parents, should be
snatchfi from all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence or deviating irom tne
path of nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Such i crsons mcst before contemplating
leiieei tnnt mocutf flttitf amfbody are the hiosf
neccssarv requisites to promote conuuUial happl
ness. Indeed without these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prosiect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind teconves
thaduwed with despair and mlc.d wun luemeian
choly reflection, that the happiness of another
becomes blighted wun our-own.
a CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure finds that he has imbibed the 6eeds of
this painful disease, it too olten Happens tuai an
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread f discovery,
deters him from applving to those who, from
education and respectability, can alone befriend
him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms ot
this horrid disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, noctural
pains in the head and limbs, dimness of sight
deafness, nodes on the shin bones and arum
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing with frightful rapidity, till at Iart the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
iu, and the victim of this awful disease becomes
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a period to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to " that Undiscovered Country iroin wueuee
no traveller returns."
It is a melancholy fact that thousands DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through Tailing
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son. Mercury, &c, destroy tnc constitution, and
Incapable of curiug, keep the unhappy sufferer
month after month taking their noxious or in
jurious compouuds, and instead of being restores
to a renewal of Life Vigor and Ifcippiuess, iu des
pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore, Dr. Joitnston pledges hiiu,
sclf to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, auil
from his extensive practice and observations in
the greut Hospitals of Europe, and the first ic
this country, viz : England, France, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer

THE OLD, OLD IIOTIE.
When I lonf for saiaUdtiuemorics,
Like angel troops they come,
If I fold my arms to ponder
On the old, old home,
Th heart has many passages
Through which the feeling roam.
But its middle aisle is sacred
To the old, old home.
Where Infancy was sheltered
Like rose-buds from the blast,
Where girlhood's brief elysiuia
In joyousucss was passed ;
To liial sweet spot forever
As to some hallowed dome,
Life's pilgrim bends her vision
'Tis her oid, old home.
A father gat. how proudly,
By that hearthstone's rays,
And told his children stories
Of his early manhood's days ;
And one soft eye was beaming,
From child to child 'twould roam ;
Thus a mother counts her treasures,
In the old, oid home.
The birthday gifts and festivals,
The blended vesper hymn
(Some dear one who was swelling it
Is with the Seraphim)
The foud "good nights" at bed-time,
- How quiet sleep would come,
And fold ns'all together
In the old, old home.
Like a wreath c' scented flowers
Close "intertwine each heart ;
But time aud change in concert
Have blown the wreath apart.
But dear and sainted memories
Like angels ever come,
If I fold my arms and ponder
On the old, old home.

Tomato Cm.TrRE.-iIr. J. Augasti
Spice, of Harford county, has made a r
port ou the profit realized by him from tl
culture, last year, of a patch of tomato
of about one sixth of aa acre in exten
lie selected a saudy kam, 100 yards lot
by eight ia width. This was plowed ear
ia ilay and boned at the rate of 400 pouni
to the acre, harrowed ia thoroughly. C
the 20th of June the rows, five in numbe
were marked out with a one-horse ploi
and the hills, 100 to each row, prepared 1
putting ia each bone at the rate of 2
pounds to the acre and covering to t'
depth of four inches. Plants of the tropl
variety were obtained, and about the 24
of Jane a season was made and set oi
Although the season was a dry one
more watering was done, and only a ft
plants four or five were lost. So raj
was the growth only two cultivations cot
be given them.
Receipts Twenty-two bushels tomato
831 08 ; sixty-six gallons catsup at 75 cen
49 50 ; twenty-four gallons canned ton
toes at 50 cents, 812 ; total $92 58.
Mr. Spicer thinks be applied too mc
bone for field culture, unless trellises w
used to ripen the tomatoes on, which
mines 13 tne oest mode, ine cost or c
tureisnot given, but is not more tl
other crops.
Managing Hogs. Procure a tub
barrel and put fifteen gallons of water i
half bushel of wheat bran in the barn
let it stand till fermentation takes pi?
add one tablespoonful oi madder, teac
ful of copperas, and six grains ot arser
and slops as often as four times per day
much as they will consume, but never f
it to them unless it is thoroughly sour,
the barrel of swill lowers fill up with wi
or kitchen slaps, soap suds, etc., (which
still better than water,) and add one i
ef bran, and also tablespoonful of mad
teacupful of copperas, and six grain?
arsenic, once a week. About three wi
before they are to be slaughtered put tl
iu a smaller enclosure and give them
much corn as they will consume will
wasting it, and continue slopping, arse
The corn will harden their fat. Give tf
a warm, dry, bed, sheltered from the t
ther, and keep them out of the cold
mud as much as possible. Dry bedt
and regularity in feeding are a safegi
against most diseases the family of sv
are beir to. I have managed hogs in
way for a good many years past, and I
always succeeded in having better j
than most of my neighbors, and at
cost. Cor. Rural Messenger.
Pood for Cows. The Practical Far
savs : It is well settled in the opinioi
all our best dairymen that bran greatly
motes the milk secretions in cows, and
fed almost universally. About eqt
mixed with corn meal is the usual pro
tion. This mixture seems to promote 1
quantity and quality of milk. Fromse
sources we hear that buckwheat bran
great producer of milk, and it is being
considerably among our Chester coi
dairymen in about the same proportio
the other. Thos. Gawthrop, near 1
Grove, Chester county, also by repe
trials with his own cows has fully sad
himself that they do as well with corn
cob meal and bran. The amount of a
ment in corn cobs is so very small that
result will have to be explained on tbe
position of the ground cob acting to
mote digestion by distending the atom
The presence of bulky material being
cessary to promote distension and fil
the stomach of ruminating animals be
digestion can be accomplished is freque
last sight of. Hungarian grass is also ft
for milch cows to be rather superior to
ordinary run of bay. Tbe last year oi
Hungarian grass has loomed up wot
fully in the estimation of our dairy fare
aud a very large scope of land will be s
with it the coming season. It mature
cutting in about sixty days, and proc
two to four tons per acre the latte
course on good soils Three pecks to
acre is the usual allowance ot seed.
HOUSEHOLD.
Pvbdlxo Without Eggs. Rice, I
pearl sago, and tapioca are best when
pudding is made without eggs. Sprin
tittle of any one of the above at the bo
of a pudding dish, add a little sugar, -fill
up wiih milk. Stir well before pit
in the oven. To the sago add a small
of cinnamon broken up. The rice -bake
quite four hours, the sago and ta
about three. Skim milk will do if you
not spare the new milk.
Geese and Ducks. Boiling
should be poured all over and inside
goose or duck before preparing it for
ing, to take out the strong oily taste,
lemon that has been carefull pared wi
breaking the thin inner white skin be p
inside a wild duck, and kept there for :
eight hours before cooking, it will re
all trace of a fishy flavor.
Trifle. Cut six sponge cakes ia ha
spread them with jam ; stud them wi
monds ; soak them with three glas'
wine, and cover with custard ; add a
of eggs, and scatter "ten of thous:
over it.
Potato Cakes. Take mashed
toes, flour and a little salt to make
sweet, add a little powdered loaf a
mix with just enough milk to ma)
paste stifl enough to roll ; make i
and thickness of a muffin, and bake
