Slept with his Srcr.sOx. Ynsaid
the old man with a sraile, 1 reroerubtr one
time in particular, while out with an old
friend, about 20 years ajn. We were tra
velling on horseback, and came acrr n
tavern one night about 10 oYWk. liein
very tired and hungry, as soon ag we t
some bupper and something varm to kep
the cold out, we asked to 'r. nhown to our
Mora.
'On looking arour we furili the room
had two beds rA ,nc Gf which was al
ready occupifj fey lwo strangers, who were
snoring U';etiiy. The fact of there being
two x0t i t,e room Jjj ut surprise "us,
j backwood taverns there were fre
VUentlr three beds in a room. We un
dressed and just as I was going to blow out
the light, my friend who got into bed, cs
pied the fot of one of the slrancers stick-
lag through the bedclothes at the foot of
the bed.
Witb a suppressed chuckle, he motioned
to me to bold on a moment ; he got quietly
out of bed, and going to where the stran
ger's boots were, he took oS a huge, sharp,
Mexican opur, and and carefully adjusted
it to the bare heel of the unconscious stran
ger. With another audible chuckle, as he
thought of the consequences that would
follow, he got back into bed, and I blew out
the light and followed him.
'He soon managed to get a long straw
from the bed, and reached over and tickled
the stranger's foot, lie instantly drew his
legs up until his knees almost touched his
chin. In doing this, he drew the spur the
whole length of his bed-fellow's leg, making
a bad scratch. The victim uttered a yell,
and sprang out of bed with a muttered ex
clamatiou that I did not make out, and
then he commenced a wild Iance around
the room, with his uetber garment under
his arm, aud making frantic effort either
to dislocate his neck or to see how badly he
was hurt, all the while making examina
tions that would have made a baggageman
wilt a Saratoga trunk on his slioukkr turn
green with envy.
'The innocent cause of the trouble bad
been awakened at the first yell of tha vic
tim, and iu straightening his legs out,
scratched himself most unmercifully. He
did not yell and say bad words, but he
jumped out of bed and made for bis friend
with the purpose of taking vengeance, I
suppose ; but he bad not taken two steps
before he dabbed the spur into bis leg
again. The landlord then aptwared with
a light, followed by half the boarders in the
house, aud inquired what the matter was.
An examination brought to light the spur,
which explained the matter. The stranger
looked sheepishly at the spur, then at his
scratch, and Dually examined his boots,
aud, with a tickly smile, said : 'Well, boys,
I have lir. d all my lifu aiuoug people who '
wear spurs, but I never before saw a man
who could pull fl his boots and leave his
ppur on bis foot. I'll treat iu the morn.1 "
Johnny as a Scalper. Mr. Fizzle- j
top was iu the habit of romping and play
ing with his eon Jobunv, who had been im
portuning bim to play circus. lie wanted
his pa to play clown, and let himself be
scalped by Johnny, acting as a circus In
dian. On Sunday morning Fizzletop, Sr.,
was walking in the garden, his soul full of
emotions, and absolutely slopping over
with Sunday thoughts, lie had a testa
ment on h;s arm, aud was bending over to
see if the Under vegetation bad been injur
ed by the frost, when Johnny appeared
from behind a rose bubb. His face was
painted, and resembled that of a zebra and
ti.'pr rnmhinrd. In his belt was the kitch
en hatchet, and the largo carving knife,
while his hands were employed in holding
a pitchfork with one prong, in the most ap
proved Comanche style. Like the clown
in the circus. Tizzletop did not suspect lite
approach of the wily savage, so he was
surprised when he beard a j ell that would
have intimidated SanUnta and Big Tree,
liefore he could rise to ask an explanation
Johnny gave another yell, and simultane
ously plauted the prong of the pitchfork
with fearful directness on the identical
place in which the clown was in the habit
of receiving such favors. Now, in order to
carry on the programme Johnny was to
have giveu another yell, make another ho'.e
or so in his parent, then the old gentleman
was to beg for his life, and lay down on
his stomach, while Johnny, alter pounding
bis hfad with the hatchet was to scalp him
with his carving knife. But Fiazletop,Sr.,
placed both hands upon the afflicted part,
jumped op and down a few times, yelled
murder, and utterea some choice piofaui
ty that would have made a stage driver en
vious. As soon as the pitchfork came out,
Johnny wished that the river was between
Uiera and the bridge washed away. The
testament missed Johnny's head, but crip-
t.led the watch-dog. Mackenzie's raid iuto
Mexico was slow compared with the pur
suit of that Comanche. Neighbors living
800 yards oil' say the subsequent proceed
ings sounded like beating a tough beafsleak
with th flat side of the meat axe. Fizzle
top accounts for his peculiar gait by tout
ing at a sinful boil, while Johnny says he
wants to be an angel.
A Hard Bed to Fill. The Junior ed-
iter of tin? Gallatin is uoU-d Tor his mo
desty. When schoolboys he d the wri
ter were inseparable companions, probably
because we both stood in such holy awe ot
'the gals.' A pair of mischievous black
ryes would stampede us quicker than a "big
dog. One day 'Bob' was sent to neighbor
Shaw's to inquire about some straw for fill
ing beds and of course the writer went with
hiro. Mr. Shaw was Ue Jatlier oi six uaie
ful girls that had rather laufch at a fellow
than not, and when we arrived they were
all seated at dinner. I dodged behind the
corner while Bob edged carefully in at the
door and with a scared look stammered.
"Mr. ctraw can you let me have enough
Shaw to fill my bed V -Well, R .' eaid
the old gentleman, glancing around the cir
cle of astonished faces, I suppose so ; here
are six besides the old woman ; but I'd ra
ther you'd leave her if the girls will be en
ough. Take them all and Cod bless you.'
Perfect shrieks of laughter went up Jrom
those mean things and 'R ' took to his
heels, followed by the writer and cries
from the old man to come back and he'd
throw in the old woman too.'
Old Beaver's' Prayer. In the State
of Ohio there resided a family, consisting
or an old man ot the name oi ixiavcr. uu
fcis three sons, all of whom are hard 'pets,'
who had often laughed to scorn the advise
and entreaties of ft pious though very
acentric minister who resided in the same
town. It happened ou of the boys was
bitten by a rattlesnake, and was expected
to die, when the minister was sent for in
Teat haste. Oh his arrival he found the
Jouiig man very penitent, and anxious to
be prayed with. The minister, calling on
the family, knelt down and prayed in this
Oh, Lord ! we thank Thee for rattle
snakes. We thaukThoe because a rattle
snake has bit Jim. We pray Thee send a
rattlesnake to bite John ; send ono to bit
Bill : aend one to bite Sam ; and. On,
Lord ! send the biggest kind of a raltle--nake
to bite the old man ; for nothing but
rattlesnakes will ever bring the Beaver
f,Tjij io repentance.

Vr. J. Walker's California Vine
gar Bitters are a purely Vegetable
preparation, made chiefly from the native
herbs found on the lower ranges of the
Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
tho medicinal properties of which aro
extracted therefrom without the use of
Alcohol. The question is almost daily
asked, " W hat is the cause of the unpar
alleled success of Vinegar Bitters ? '
Our answer is, that they remove the
cause of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health. They are tho great
blood purifier aad a life-giving princi
ple, a perfect Kenovator aiid Inviorator
of the system. Never before in tho his
tory of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of Visega r Bitters in healing
the sick of every disease man is heir to.
They arc a penile Purgative as well as a
Tunic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver and Visceral Organs in Bitioas
Difenaes.
The properties of Dp.- Walker's
Vi.vkoar Hitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritions, Lasative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-Irritant, Sudorific, Altcra
tir". ni"' ";,.kuj.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin
egar Bitters the most wondrful Invigor
ant that ever sustained the sinking system.
Oio Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Bemitlenf, and Inter
mittent FeTers, which are so prev
alent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Eio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many othets, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during the Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so during sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, aro
invariably accompanied by extensive
derangements of the stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influence upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the purpose equal to Db.
J. Walker's Vixecae Bitters, as
they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which the
bowels are loaded, at the same time
stimulating tbe secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of the digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with VrraGAR
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of
a system thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache, rain in the Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness. Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in
the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpitation
of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lnng3,
Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a
hundred other painful symptoms, are
the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle
will prove a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or King's Evil, White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec
tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin,
Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all
other constitutional Diseases. Walker's
Vinegar Bitters have shown theii
great curative powers in the most ob
stinate and intractable cases.
For Inflammatory and Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases
of tbe Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Blad
der, these Bitters have no equal. Such
Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Fersons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters,
and Miners, as they advance in lift?, are
subject to paralysis of tha Bowels. To
guard against this, take a dose of Walk
er's Vinegar Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet
ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spot. Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms,
Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Iliscolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Disease of the Skin of whatever name
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
ont of the system in a short time by the nse
of these Bitters.
Pin, Tape, and other Worms,
larking iu the system of so many thonsands,
are etl'ectnally destroyed and removed. So
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no a
thelmiuitics will free the system from worms
like these Bitters.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the duwn of wo
manhood, or tbe turn of life, these Tonic Bit
ters display so decided an influence that im
provement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when-
!tp yn $nd its impurities bursting through
the skin in rlUl?ies Eruptions, or Sores;
eleanse it when you 6od it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins ; cleiae jt trhen it is
foul ; your feelings will teil you when. Keep
tbe blood pure, aud the htalth of the syntmo
will follow.

Raw ast Advanced Crops. It is estimated
that the annual production of wines In France
amounts to $S48,000,000, from five millions of
acre planted with grape-vines, which Is twice
the value we derive from the entire wheat crop
of the United States in average seasons. The
reason of this difference is that tbe French grape
crop is manufactured into its most advanced
product wine ready for nse while the immense
porportion of our wheat crop i. exported in boik,
not even manufactured into flour ; and so eager
and short-sighted are we in our baste to ship
t hi crop that we invest millions of dollars in
great railroads, grain-elevators, marginal facili
ties for export, piers, docks and steamships,
leaving tbe mo&t of the profit. to the foreigner
who manufacture this grain Into flonr and who
sell tbe flour to consumers. It would be as sen
sible to export iron-ore to England and bring
back tbe manufactured pig-iron. For the grain
we skip to England comes back to us In the
shape of hardware, dry-goods, rails, and fancy
articles of every kind. Our importations of
foreign wines are so large that it Is worthy of
note that California alone bas 8,000,009 acres of
Und adapted to the culture of tbe grape vine,
being three millions more than the grape-culture
covers in France ; but at the present time she
bas not much more than 50,000 acres so plauted ;
the greater part of her agriculture being devoted
to raising wheat for export in bulk to England
by the long and perilous voyage around Cape
Horn. So little profit is made In raising grain for ex
port in bulk, that it is not surprising to flud the
farmers in California and Iu the northwest turn
ing their attention to other pursuits. Thus in
California the grape-culture and the manufac
ture jf wine, the raising of the sugar-beet and
the making of sugar therefrom, the rearing of
cattle ard the export of hides and beef, and tbe
culture of the orange, the lemon, the fig, and
other tropical fruits, are all making headway ;
while in tbe northwest butter and cheese facto
ries are rapidly multiplying, wool flourishes,
rattle and flax receive increased attention, and
i-ome of the vast grain farms are breaking np
Into vegetable or truck gardens. Iu fact the
primitive forms of agriculture yield iusutScieut
profit. The crops require to be put through the
advanced processes before the money-Value be
gins to tell. Nothing eould show this more
forcibly than the amazing contrast between tbe
value of the French wine crop and that of the
American wheat crop. Of the two tbe latter Is
inherently by far tbe more valuable ; and yet we
do not make it so simply because we export tbe
grain in bulk instead of putting P. into more ad
vanced products. Germantom TiUgrmph.
A Corn Stub Eradicator. A writer in the
Germantown TtUgraph says : A very convenient,
simple contrivauce for those who do not scalp
their corn-stubs immediately after cutting their
corn and a great many do not, either from
scarcity of time or because it is severe labor to
do so then is made by taking a plank or slab
from two to four inches thick and eighteen inch
es to two feel broad the wider the better to keep
from turning over and bolting old tire along
one edge of what is to rest on the ground an
iucb past flush will be best. Bore two boles four
inches- from end and three iucbes from ironed
edge, and oue bole in tbe middle of opposite
side. If for one horse six feet is long enough
for plank. Then on some dry day, when tbe
ground is hard frozen, bitch your horse to the
plank by chains directly from end botes to the
harness, and at about five feet distance. A ropo
or chain in tbe middle bole serves as a guide.
Start your horse between two rows, you walking
behind with guide-rope can keep your plauk In a
proper position with ease. If you wish to make
a complete job, run back tbe Mine rows against
what may be bent over ; and If your horse walks
a good gait yon will make your work perfect,
and about as fast as fast as three men would do
it by hand. Your labor is next to nothing except
the walking, aud tbe horse's but light. A longer
plauk may be used if desi.ed, and two horses,
taking three rows. I have seen almost every
kind of contrivance used for tbe purpose, but
nothing at all, except a scalping hoe, to compare
to the one I have described.
Wur Farming Docs Not Pat. In this con
nection it may uot be out of place to allude te
an impression fast gaiuing ground among farm
ers that 'Farming does not pay." Western
farmers lay tbe canse of tbeir trouble at the
door of the railroads and the implement makers,
and the dairymen ot tbe East complain that the
prices for dairy goods are too low. But tbe
question may be asked whether the difficulty
does not lie partly in another channel whether
the extravagant and wasteful style of living
which many farmers of late have adopted is not
the caue of small profit realized from tbe farm?
If fanner spend much of tbeir time away
from home, intrusting farm work to hired labor 1
if they indulge in expressive equipages and en
deavor to make ibe income from a $10,000 or
$20,000 farm pay lor a style of living that is
bardly afforded by those who have accumulated
large wealth, disaster, sooner or later, mn-.t be
expected. I know of several instances of fann--rs
aud dairymen during the past year, who
have been sold out by tbe sheriff, and in every
ease the trouble came from inattention to busi
ness and the indulgence of numerous expendi
tures that the prudent and economical farmer
avoids. Indeed, wastefulness, and tbe "living
beyond oue's means," is a fault ptrvadiug all
classes of society, and this often lead to dissat
isfaction and a waut of faith in one's business.

Spoiling Horsb's Feet. It is almost Impos
sible to get a horse shod without having tbe frog
rut away. All veterinary surgeons, ail horse
men, and all leading blacksmiths agree that the
frog should not be pared one particle, nor even
trimmed uo matter bow pliable and soft tbe
frog is, cut it away smooth on all sides, and in
two days it will be dry and hard as a chip. Toa

A Scrap Boo:. Every farmer should keep a
book in which to paste agricultural scrap.
EverT one, in reading a paper, will see things
which he will a Ish to remember. He will, per
haps, see suggestions, the valne ot which be will
want to be governed by In future operations.
And yet, after reading the paper, he will throvr
it down, and will probably never see it again.
Io such a case all the valuable articles will be
lost. To prevent such a loss, every reader should
clip from tbe paper such articles as he desire
to preserve, and paste them In a scrap-book,
such a book, at the end of a year or two, will be
very interesting and valuable.
Trees, especially young ones, need looking
after, to prevent injury by rabbit and mice.
Fences and gates should be repaired and closed,
to prevent cattle from entering and destroying
the tree. When light snows fall, tread down
around the trees to keep away mice. A mound
of earth around the trees is useful for this pur
pose, as well as to krsep newly set tree In place
during high winds.
Stocks for root-grafting should have been
taken up before freezing weather. If not done,
make nse of the first open spelL Stora in earth
in the cellar, where tbey will be accessible for
grafting during tbe Jrimer.
Cut cions when the trees are not frozen, tie in
mall bundles, and store In sawdust In the cel
lar. Earth will keep them from drying equally
well, but sawdust leaves no grit to dall tha
knife.
PRunrso may be done during mild dajs,.but
for larger limbs It will be better to wait nntil to
wards spring. Cover large wound with gnm
shellac varnish, melted grafting wax, or pahst.
Rabbits are best kept from injuring tree by
sprinkling blood on tbe trunk. A wah of cow
dung, sulphur, and loam is reported a eful.
