Old man Preston was aware of Ibis, and he dropped into tbe saloon one warm day last week and said : '3y crickey, Jim, but this is warm I I havn't been so warm since old Gen. Cass was President of tbe United States.' 'What!' said Jim, 'Gen. Cass never was President of tbe United States. 4 Why, yes be was,' replied Preston, with well feigued aslouisbment. 'I'll bet you the drinks for the bouse he wasn't,' said tbe excited proprietor, 'Done, 'answered tbe old man and he drew forth his pocket-book, unfolded a age of tbe Congressional Globe of 184S-9 and proceeded to read that Presi dent Taylor having died ou Saturday, and Vice-President Fillmore not being at Washington, the President of the Senate, Gen. Cass, became Piesidentof tbe United States until the following Monday pending Fillmore's inauguration. Wheu tbe old man had finished he looked around and said : Come up boys. A little stougblon in mine, Jim. Must excuse ignorance, you know.' Then he rambled out, while Jim rammed tbe bottles back on tbe shelf, soused tbe tumblers in tbe rinse, aud as be wiped up tbe counter be remarked : 'I've seen a good many mean men in my time, but fr a first-class, star beat old Preston can take the money.' Marquette Mining Journal An iudubtrious citizen for Sun Juan arose a few mornings ago, while the fes tive lark was still snoozing, and with a tin bucket under his arm went to the barn to milk tbe family cow. It was dark and rainy, and In fumbling about for old Brindle he cot into the wrong pew and began to pail the off male of his wagon team. He can't remember now which side of tbe roof he weut out at, but his recollection of alight ing on tbe picket fence is very vivid. He expects the bucket down in a few days.

A Ricn and Noble Foreigner, who recently arrived iu Paris, found himself, wheu strolling in the street, followed by an iudividual in all his walks. The first day or two he did not mind, but on tbe third and fourth, finding his steps were still dogged in tbe same fashion, tbe gentleman went to tbe Embassy of bis country, and mude a complaint. One of the attaches told him that be must be a 'suspect,' and that it was probably a spy who was put on bis track. Finally, the Minister of Foreign Affairs was applied to. but tbe Minister declared himself iuuocenl, and indued or dered the fellow who still dogged the for eigner's steps to be apprehended. An ex planation eutued. .'Mr,' said the mail to the Magistrate, 'I found that this gentle man had the habit of smoking the most delicious cigars that I had ever smelt, and tbat be recklessly lluug each away when only half smoked.

At the time of tbe Rebellion he wns seized with military ardor, and, wheu tbe different volunteer corps were forming in Dublin, tbat of tbe lawyers was organized. Meeting with Curran, Mac nally said, 'My dear friend, these are not times to be idle ; I am determined to enter the lawyers' corps, and follow the camp.' 'You follow the camp, my little limb of the law.!' said tbe wit. 'Tut, tut, renounce the idea ;you never can be a disciplinarian. 'And why not, Mr. Curran ?' inquired Macnally. 'For this reason,' said Curran; 'the moment you were ordered to march, you would halL' 'Yes, these are awful haid times,' said a Wall street broker, as he stood on his steps talking to a frieud, last evening. 'Mighty tough, I expect,' was the reply. ' Why,' said tbe broker' I've beco investing and investing for a year back a pile of money, I assure you and I find I've been losing like fun.' 'Indeed ?' 'True's I'm livin If I've lost a cent, I've lost more than 8300,000.' 'No ?' 'Certain,' continued the broker, and what makes me feel tbe worst, is that fully ?150 of it was my own.' A young Manayunk wife left this cote piuned up in tbe house, addressed to her husband : 'Precious : Have gone up to mother's to get something good to eat ; be sure to take the medicine out of the right band tumbler, and don't let the fire go down.

Little Bessie, is the five-year old daughter of a Germantown lady who mar ried a clergymen not long since. When ber father was away, and she was playiug in tbe yard, a stranger came along and in quired if tbe miuister was at home. 'Xo,' she replied, 'but mother is in the house, and she will pray with you, you poor, mis erable sinner.' He was blacker than tbe ace of spades, and old Bob had discharged him off tbe Dove, because tbey could'nt see him at night without the aid of a lantern. He was sitting upon the curb-stone, holding the Commercial up before him sideways and trying to read some adverlisments. He did'nt know anything about tbe goat coming toward him until he saw his bead pop through the paper, and felt it land just about midships. He was the sickest looking darkey for about half an hour we ever saw, and when they got him warm and limber enough to see and breathe, he looked up and said : 'Gera'men, dat'a the third boat dat's bust her hilers, au' sent me ashore. Is I going to git over dis? The goat still lives. Courier Journal.

The "DOMESTIC" is an exceedingly simple machine in all its parts and processes. It is easily understood ; familiarity with its action is very quickly acquired, and it needs hardly any practice of special skill in the operator. The superior advantages obtained in the "Do mestic" are mainly : 1. Light Running. 2. Quietness no Cams or Gear Wheels. 3. Perfect Stitch Double-thread Lock Stitch 4. Durability arUing from Simplicity of Con struction. 5. Absence of all Friction. 6. Great range of Work. 7. Ease of Operation. We do not say that the "Domestic" is the only Machine worthy of public favor. We admit there arc some possessing real and acknow ledged merit : but we do claim, and arc prepared to demonstrate, that the "Domestic" has many excellences that reuder it decidedly tuverior to any other Machine now before the public. Let every woman, therefore, examine for her self into its merits when she buys a machine. This is an important purchase, not to be care lessly made ; one that will Influence her com fort, probably for a long time. With a "Domes tic" iu her possession, she will find her sewing become a pleasant exercise of skill and tnRte, in stead of a slow manual drudgery ; sbc will nave tbe time and strength to add beauty aud elegance to work in which before she has been obliged to content herself with bare utility.

Uses tor Sweet Corti oh the Far. a correspondent writes: The finest fodder la raised from mammoth sweet corn town for tbat purpose, it being of large growth and tuckering freely ou jrood soil. If to be fed during short pasturage in summer it should be wilted at least twenty-four hours before feeding.' If for winter use it should be well cured before storing, a it contains so much sugar that It heats quickly. Our practice has been to wilt it two days, turn ing it on the second day, and then set It up in large stocks aud there let it stand until wanted, load by load. We find it the best and cheapest feed, and on our rich garden lands as profitable as most of our vegetable crops. We sow In fur rows three feet apart, eight or ten kernels to a foot in length. After one or two workings the shade covers the ground.- It can be cut with a' bush book, or what is better, with a stoat reap-' er, and left iu bundles, if yon have two smart men to remove them "lively." Some of our largest pork raisers also grow largely of the earlier sorts to begin laying on fat before the dent corn is ready. It is especially serviceable where elover does not flourish, so as to furnish summer hog feed. As soon as it is fairly in the. milk they begin to reed, cutting up from neat tbe ground. Scarcely a butt is left, while of field corn much of the stock is refused by the hogs. By the time the early sorts are fed out the lame evergreen sorts are ready. Tbts feed induces excellent thrift, prepares hogs nicely fo profitable feeding of tbe main crop, and brings on earlier pork and more of it. I have never known any one to be dissatisfied with tbe result of the practice. Enriching Land bt Clover. From a report of remarks made in the Elmira Farmers' Club, by Col. Brewer, we take the following : 'I beg leave to criticise remarks made by one of your members on the occasion of reading a letter I wrote your club long ago. In treating of this subject of enriching laud by the use of elover, I cited the case of a field too rich for wheat. Some one asked, "Can land be too rich for wheat V I insist that it can ; such land produces too great a growth of straw at the ex pense of the grain. I have brought land to this condition, and there is also the difficulty tbat on such land the crop is apt to lodge, and under the lodged straw the clover seed cannot grow, or If It has made a good start, it gets smothered oat. I had a piece of three acres on which there was raised in one crop 110 bushels of wbea:, bnt about half of the ground had no clover. I seed-" ed tbe bare spots after harvest, scratching the surface slightly, and the next season there vat to difference to be seen between the portions ro. seeded and that which came- from the spring, sowing, except tbat tbe late sowing remained, green and freah later in the season. . Tor many; years I have made it a point to attend to such bare spots after harvest, and with very certain success ia most instances. I have an acquaints a nee, a young farmer in Hector, Tompkins county, who raises four crops ia his course, all good. His clover is cut early for hay, then the second crop for seed, then barley and wheat and clover again. He uses plaster on the elover. IT the wheat ia rather thin it will do to use plaetoi on that. It is my opinion that none of ns sow plaster early enough. PHEVENTrNG Gapes. I havj seen many reme dies recommended, but none better than this : As soon as tbe chickens are batched, put them in some dry place in an out building which ha a board floor, and keep them there a week, with good well water to drink and meal or cracked corn for feed, and about a peck of load dr.: for tuem to dust in. After tbat, take thfiti out doors ; put tbe hen in a coop with a board floor, and let the chickens run at large, giving them wheat screenings all tbe time, for wheat is in; valuable for young chickens. About three, times per day, give cracked corn, wet, Abont twice a week, give two tablespoon fnls of Cayenne pepper, mixed with the feed. Keep the chicken in the coop in wet weather, never allowing them to get wet, nor to have any foul place to peck in or any buttermilk to drink. Always give them plenty of good well water to drink, and do not let them drinit the refuse water about the place. I have always followed np this plan, and never had a chicken get tbe gapes. But if a chicken gets the gapes, it may be cured as follows : Take up tbe chicken in one hand, and with the fore finger and thumb piuch or press as low down as possible on the windpipe, ptnchiug and working' up till the bill is reached. Then feed, as soon as possible, some meal mixed with Cayenne pep per and a small quantity of fresh lard. Covntiy . Gentleman. Reports from fifty poiuts in Michigan in dicate a full three-fourths average wheat crop. HOUSEHOLD. To Stew Corn. Cut tbe corn from the cobs with a sharp knife, before cooking. Put the corn iu a stew-pan with two tablespoon fuls of butter. Be sure and scrape all tbe milk from the eob when yon have cut off tbe kernels. It adds much to tbe richness of the dish. Let it boil from fifteen to twenty minutes. Season with a little salt and pepper. Blackberry Wine. Mash the fruit, and strain through a coarse cloth. To the expressed juice add an equal quantity of water, and to every gallon of the mixture add three pounds best brown sugar. Put it into covered stone jars until the fermentation is over and tbe liquor becomes perfectly clear. It should then be care fully deceiiled from the Ices and bottled. Blagkberrt Wine. Measure your berries and bruise tbem, to every gallon adding one quart of boiling water ; let the mixture stand twenty-four boure, stirring occasionally; then strain the liquor into a cask, to every gallon adding two pounds of sugar ; cork tight and let stand until tbe following October, and yon will have wine ready for use without any further straining or boiling. Another method is to pnt the entire mixture in a kettle and bring it to a boil, skim and when cool fill the keg three fourths full and let it ferment for one week ; then fill np the cask with freshly made liquor, and when done fermenting bung np tight, set away in tbe cellar, when it should remain until February or March, when it should be racked off, the kegs scalded out, and the liquor either returned to the keg to remain permanently or bottled for use. We prefer putting in demijohns instead of bottles. Cordial. Take any convenient quantity of blackberries, and stew in a preserving kettle for half an hour, then strain and boil again for half an hour, adding one pound ot. sugar to every quart of juice, using spices to the taste. When cool, add one gill or more of genuine Cognac brandy to each quart of juice. Then bottle and cork tight. Eldebberrx Branbt. Select the ripest elder berries yon can find, and after picking them from tbe stems, to five quarts of berries add two quarts of water, boil welt ; then mash and strain through a colander. After all the juice is ex tracted, add two quarts of water, half ounce of whole cloves, hair ounce of whole allspice, two grated nutmegs, one Ublespoonful of powdered ginger, oue do. of cinnamon, a littlo lemon aud orange peeling. Boil all well three hours over a slow tire, then add five pounds of sugar ; after cooling strain through a flannel bag, theu add some of the best Monongabela whisky, or good branky according to taste: The above will keep for years, and will be fouud an excellent prescription in bowel and other complaiuts. i Waste Paper. Few housekeepers are aware of the many uses to which waste paper may be pnt. After a stove has been blackened, it may be kept looking well for a long time by rubbing with paper every morning. Rubbing with, paper is a much nicer way of keeping the outside of the tea kettle, coffee pot, and tea pot bright and elean, than the old way of washing tbem in suds. Rubbing with paper is also the oest way of pol- isbing knives and tiuware, after scouring. If a ' little flour be held on the paper, in robbing tin- ' ware and spoons, they shine like new silver. For polisbiug mirrors, windows, lamp chimneys. etc., paper is better than dry cloth. Preserves and pickles keep much better if brown paper in stead of cloth is tied over the Jar. Paper is much better to put under a carpet than straw. It is warmer, thinner and makes less noise when one walks over it. Two thicknesses of paper placed between other covering on the bed are $A , aqulIU
