Humbugging Farmers.
If every farmer in the land could read.
and profit by, the accounts given in the
American .9griculturist during the pa , t
year only, of the various special
upon farmers, it would, in the aggregate
be a saving of hundreds of thousands of
dollars to the farming community. There
is a set of swindlers whose operations are
ESPECIALLY DIRECTED TOWARDS FARMERS.
It is no reflection upon the inteiligencE
of farmers that this is so The rascals
know that all kinds of fish are not to- be
caught with one bait; hence they operate
upon clergymen, doctors, merchants, and
farmers, each in a different manner. It
is safe to predict that there is a new set of
traps ready this spring to catch farmers
Of late years the "agency" dodge has been
played successfully, and it has already
been started thus early in the season.
These swindlers are all afte'r one pattern
A glib-tongued chap No. 1 wishes to
establish an "agency" for some crinkum.
It may be a stump-puller, a machine fur
grinding the knives of mowing machines,
it may be a churn power, or a spring bed.
Whatever it is, chap No. 1, somehow. or
in some way, contrives to get the signatare
of the farmer. Here is where the trouble
begins. We have cautioned and reiterated
the caution :
"FARMERS BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU
but this does not seem to be enough; no
matter how much care is exercised, the
smooth-tongued chap No. 1, is usually too
mach for the farmer. So we say to farm
ers—don't act as agents for anything, but
if you will not heed this, and the terupta
tions as to profit is too great to resist, and
you will disregard warnings, we beg of you
FARMERS, DON'T SIGN ANYTHING
You may be asked to agree to became
an agent, you may be asked to give your
address, so that the sample machine, to be
sent free, will come all right; you may be
asked for merely your post-office address.
Take our advice—which is the same as
Punch's advice to young people about to
marry—DON'T ! DON'T ! I
Don't, do not—pray refrain from sign
ing your name to anything whatever. Ob
serve this and you are safe. Sign your
name on any pretence to anything whatever,
and you open the way for the visit of chap
No. 2. He is not smooth-tongued or per
suasive. He has come to collect his bill.
Yon have ordered so and so. The goods
are at the depot, here is . the bill, and he
wants the money, as he must take next
train. Yon can't say you never ordered
the goods, for there is your signature
You can't deny it, but you signed it as an
agreement to act as agent, or signed it a , -
your address—No. 2, knows nothing about
this—cares nothing about it, but wants
his money. Here we again say. don't.
Don't be bullied into paying it, but let him
do his worst. Show him the door, and
let him appeal to the courts if he dares.
The game has already begun, and hun
dreds of farmers, to avoid trouble wi: l
throw away thousands of dollars the corn_
ing season.
DON'T BE BULLIED
into paying a dollar on any such claim
At the most, it can only go to a jury of
your neighbors to decide, but not one case
in a hundred will ever come to that. One
correspondent in writing from Mosachu
setts, says that some of his neighbors think
that an agricultural paper can teach them
nothing, yet one of these very conceited
farmers had to pay $3O, which he would
have saved, had he read our humbug arti
ties, as the very swindle was exposed here.

How the Farm was Bought.
A young man was very anxious to se
cure a piece of property which was then
for sale, on very advantageous terms. He
went to confer with a friend of his, who
was a banker, about the matter, and to in
quire whether it would be prudent to bor
row the requisite sum, and pay it in regular
installments. He thought he should be
able to manage all but the first installment.
Ile was advised to borrow from the
bank a sum enough larger than he wished
to raise to cover the first payment, lay it
strictly aside, and then go ahead.
"But," said his friend, "you must spend
literally nothing. Yon must live off of
your place. You must make a box, and
drop in it all the money you receive."
The young man and his wife went
bravely to work.. to follow this advice. If
it was necessary to dine off a head of boil
ed cabbage and salt, they did so, and
never grumbled. Every payment was
promptly met. The egg money. aud,th•
butter money, and the corn and wheat
money—all went into the payment box ,
and at the specified time the place wa4
theirs. There was an invisible wealth
about such bard earned possessions that
common observers knew nothing of.
On the day for the last payment the
young man presented himself before his
friend with a smiling face, and with the
money in hand. There were no rags to
be seen, but his clothing was well covered
with darns from head to foot.
"You see, I have followed your advice,"
he raid, casting a glance over himself; "and
my wife looks worse than I do. But I
have earned the farm, and now I know
how to earn another.
Jt is to be hoped he did not set out to
earn another until he had bought himself
and his wife each a new suit, and laid in
a good supply of provisions for another
such campaign. But his axample
points in the right direction. A young
couple who want to buy a home must agree
to be extremely saving. The savings
box must become a regular institution in
the house, and must absorb all the dimes
that commonly slip away on trifles. Where
the two are agreed on the matter it is not
nearly so hard as it looks. The little drop
pings count up faster than you would sup
pose, and the end in view is a very worthy
one. Try the experiment of those young
peiple, in a modified form, for one year,
and see if the result is not most encourag
ing and satisfactory.—Cincinnati Times.

TILE TRACK INSPECTION —Following
i 6 the result of the November track inspec
Lion ou the Pennsylvania Railroad, nuv;
for the first time made public. There are
no returns from the New York Division,
save that it has been pronounced in better
repair than either the Philadelphia,
„Mid
dle. or Pitssbursh Divisions.
The Philadelphia and Pittsburgh Di
visions have the same marks ; no choice
between them; both ahead of the Middle
Division. No premium is given for Su
perintendents'
Best yard between Philadelphia and
Pittsburgh—John C. Philadelphia
Yard.
Best, main line Supervisor, including
yards—John McGraw, Supervisor Divis
ion No. 2.-
Best Supervisor on Middle Divison—
James Cullen, Supervisor Division No. 7.
Best Supervisor of Pittsburgh Division
—F. Ehrenfeld, Supervisor Division No. S.
Best Supervisor on branches—S. Dob
son, Supervisor Division No. 18.
One foreman on each Supervisor's sub
division gets a premium. Foreman
Michael Slattery, Sub division No. 7, at
Cresson ; William Leslie, foreman Sub
division No. 17 at Sang Hollow, and J. C.
Blair, foreman Sub division No. 28, at
Latrolo;_‘, each received premiums for best
track or most improvement of sub divisions
on the respective Supervisor's divisions.
Until the present year J. G Craig,
supervisor Division No 1, Philadelphia
Yard, has had the best track on the entire
main line ; but this year yards were ex
eluded front the competition and placed by
themselves. The marks for yards are
always higher than marks fur the same
condition of track on other divisions.
Mr. McGraw now has the premium for
the best main lineKlivision, including, also,
the best supervisor's division on the Phila
delphia Division. Mr Cullen has always
had the best track on the Midlle Division,
and the division of which Mr. Ehrenfeld is
Supervisor, on the Pittsburgh Division,
has always had the best track. Mr. Good
when Supervisor of this division, had the
premium twice, and Mr Ehrenfeld has
been successful four times. Mr. Hays.
Supervisor of Division No. 9, at New
Florence, has always been close bellind,
but cannot pass Mr. Ehrenfeld. The
average was 7 2-10. Mr. Hays was 7,
showing a very close result.
It may happen that a Supervisor will
have marks higher than others that will get
a premium, and yet nc.ne himself. For
instance, Mr. Varnall, Supervisor of Di
vision No. 11, Pittsburgh Yard, and Mr.
McCully, Supervisor of the Altoona Yard,
have marks higher than any of their com
petitors except Mr. Craig, and yet get no
premium.
Mr. Ehrenfelt and his industrious track
men are to be congratulated on again
achieving a victory. They bad a foewan
worthy of their picks and shovels in Mr.
Hays, however, and must look to their
laurels next year. Mr. Hays' division ex
tends from East Conctnaugh to Latrobe,
and anybody but an al gus eyed inspector,
to whom a pebble seems as big as a noun
Lain, would pronounce the track and road
bed in perfect condition.—Johnstowil

TOUCHING INCIDENT AT AN ALTOOkA
TEMPERANCE MEETING —E:wa2,'s hall
was filled to overflowing again last evenin
at the sixth "Dashaway" temperance meet
log. Mr. Colburii, the President ..f the
club, occupied the :hair. and opened thi
proceedings with prayer, f ;Mowing with a
brief address. 111,,5 , r5. Daniel Black, S
Montgemery, Mrs Boughton. aod Mr
Boughton made speeches. Twenty p,rs
signed the pledge, and about fifty tiamrs
were added to the remonstrance. A touch
ing incident ocintrred during Mr.. Daniel
Black's speech lie observed his son in
the audience and. evidently meaning the
young man, remarked in a feeling matricr
that if a certain 3oung person in the ro..in
would come forward and sign the ple4ge
he (the speaker) would go down upon hi.-
knees on the pLitform and thank G f.r
it "You needn't do that father," called
out the young min, rising. -I'll sign the
Pledge now !" and the son did so, while
the father, true to his promise, fell upon
his knees and offered up a prayer of thanks.
The scene was a very pathetic one, and
there were many wet eyes in the audience
during its enactment. An entertainment

PAPERS, BOOKS, TITLE DEEDS, ETC.,
TURNED OVER.—The Cambria Herald
says the voluntary assignees of William M.
Lloyd & Co., have turned over to the
bankruptcy assignees the papers, books.
title-deeds, etc , in pursuance of the de
cree previously reported. When Mr. Lloyd
wade the voluntary assignment in 1875,
Mrs Lloyd joined in the deed and ac
knowledged it separate and apart from her
husband fir the purpse of barring her
dower This d.ed was made to the volun
tlry assignees and re2orded In the decree
ordering the voluntary assignees to convey
to the bankruptcy assignees, they were re
quired to convey the while estate so full
and entire as they had received it. Th,s
they did and the deed from them to the
bankruptcy assignees was put on record on
the 16th iust. This vested the estate in
the bankruptcy assignees as full and en
tire as the voluntary assignees held it.
When sale of the real estate is made, it
will pass to the purchasers clear and dis
charged of dower, if Mrs. Ll , iyd should
survive her husband.
A MONSTER OF CRUELTY.—The Clear
field Journal speaks thus of one Andy Fit
Tian, who, after being placed under $5OO
bail to appear at Court for cruelty to ani
mals "skipped" and left his surety in the
lurch : "lie seems to have been an adept
in the business of slaying horses and mules
and inflicting unheard-of cruelties on other
animals. He could ride a horse at full gal
lop, beating him at every jump, the animal
having one hoof off and another tied on
with a rope, while the blood streamed out
at every leap ! Heavy clubs, cant hooks,
hand-spikes, crow-bars, stones, and double..
bit axes were his favorite instruments of
torture and doable-distilled cruelty to
horses and mules ; while for other animals
new cruelties and devices were invented.
We have no animosity to heap on the
head of this gentleman (?), nor do we wish
to inflame public sentiment agaiust him
On the contrary, we pity the ungoverna
ble wretch, and for that reason have put
his case mildly—gently, so to speak.

VEGETINE.
lIER OWN WORDS.
BALTIMORE, MD., Feb, 13, 1577.
MR. 11. R. STEVENS—Pear bir,--Since several years nave
got a sore and very painful foot. I had some physicians,
but they couldn't cure me. Now I had heard of your
Vegetine from a lady who was sick for a long time, and
became all well from your Vegetine, and 1 went and
bought me one bottle of Vegetine; and after I had used
one bottle the pains left me, and it began to heal, and
then I bought one other bottle, and 80 I take it yet. I
thank God for this remedy and yourself; and wishing
every sufferer may pay attention to it. It is a blessing
for health. MRS. C. KRABE,
633 West Baltimore Street.
VEGETINE.
SAFE ANT SURE
Ma H. R. STEVENS :—Tn 1872 your Vegetine was recom
mended to me, and, yielding to the persuasions of a friend,
I consented to try it. At the time I was suffering from
general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced
by overwork and irregular habits. Its wonderful
strengthening and curative properties seemed to affect my
debilitated system from the first dose; and under its per
sistent use I rapidly recovered, gaining more than
health and goodleeling. Since then I have not hesitated
to give Vegetine my most unqualified indorsement, as
being a safe, sure and powerful agent in promoting health
and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy,
Vegetine is the only medicine I use , and as long as I live
I never expect to find a better. Yours truly,
W. H. CLARK,
120 Monterey Street, Allegheny, Penn.
VEGETINE.
THE BE SPRING MEDICINE
H. R. STEVENS—Dear Sir:—This is to certify that I have
used your "Blood Preparation" in my family for several
years, and think that for Scrofula or Cankerous Humors
or Rheumatic affections it cannot excelled ; and as a
blood purifier and spring medicine it is the best thing I
have ever used, and I have used almost everything. I
can cheerfully recommend it to any one in need of such
a medicine. Yours respectfully,
MRS. A. A. DINSMORE, 19 Russell Street.

IL it. SyLvENs, Est:l—Dear Sir :—About one year since
I found myself in a feeble condition from general debility.
Vegetine was strorgly recommended to me by a friend
who had been much benetittod by its ua.. I procured
the article, and, after using several bottles, was restored
to health, and discontinued its use. I feel quite confident
that there is no medicine superior to it for those complaints
for which it is especially prepared, and would cheerfully
recommend it to those who feel that they need something
to restore them to perfect health. Respectfully yours,

its worst form for the last ten years, and have taken
hundreds of dollars' worth of niedici es without obtaining
any relief. In September last I commenced taking the
Vegetine, since which time my health has steadily im
proved. My food digests well, and I have gained fifteen
pounds of flesh. There are several others in this place

Smile Whenever You Can.
When things don't go to suit you,
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting,
But drive away that frown
Since life is oft perpleting,
'Tis much the wisest plan
To benr all trials bravery,
And smile whenever you can.
Why should you dread to-morrow,
And thus despoil today ?
For when you borrow trouble,
You must expect to pay ;
:t is a good old maxim,
Which should be often preached—
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached.
You might he spared much sighing
If you would hear in mind
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined ;
There must he something wanting
And though you roll in wealth
You miss from out your casket
That precious Jewel—health.
And though you're strong and sturdy,
Yoa may have an empty purse—
And earth has many trials
Which I consider worse;
But whether joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile whenever you can !
All great works arc done by serving
God With what - we have in hand. Moses
was keeping sheep in Midian ; God sent
him to save Israel, but be shrunk from the
undertaking. We sympathize with
Jethro's herdsman—alone, a strangtr,
owning not a lamb that he watched. He
hid nothing but his shepherd's rod, cut
out of a thicket, the mere crab-stick with
which he guided his sheep. Any day he
might throw it away and cut a better one•
And God said, "What is .that in thine
hand ? With this rod, with this stick,
thou shalt save Israel." And so it proved.
You are a manufacturer, or a merchant,
or a mechanic, or a man of leisure, or a
student, or a sewing woman. God wants
each of you to serve him where you are.
You have your business; use it for God.
Order it in a godly manner. D.) not allow
any wickedness in it. Give godly wages;
preach Jesus to your clerks by being like
him—doing good. Use your profits for
God, feeding the hungry, clothing the
naked, visiting the sick, comfortiug the
wretched, spreading the gospel far and
wide. What a field you have to glorify
God in, just where you are If you have
nothing use your tools for Him; He can
glorify biuself with them easily as He
could with a shepherd's stick, an ox goad
a sling, or two mites.
A poor girl, who had nothing but a
sewing machine, used it to aid a feeble
church. All her earnings above her needs
were given toward building a house of
worship, and in a year she paid more than
others a hundred times richer than she.
So you can do if you will. Think of the
widow with two mites, the woman with
the alabaster box, and Dorcas and her gar
ments. Do as much, and have as great a
reward.
"God's kingdom," says a Christian
writer, "differs wonderftilly from all world
ly kingdom's in one of the great elements
that compose it—peace. how much has
human blood to do with establishing the
government of the world ! Which one of
all the great empires has not at some - peri•
od waded through rivers of blood ? Even
our own country has not escaped this ter
rible baptism. But this kingdom is a
peaceful kingdom. It is true it may be
necessary sometimes for the subjects of it
to engage in dreadful war; but if so, it is
not this kingdom that has produced it.
There is wickedness somewhere always
when there is conflict Somebody is guilty
of murder for every man that falls in bat
tle. The kingdom of Christ does not pro
duce it. Wars come not of the peaceable
fruits of righteousness ai all, but of the
opposite altogether—the worldly, sensual
and devlish lusts of mankind.

"There is no peace in the wicked heart.
An inspired prophet has told us this
'There is no peace,' says he •to the wicked.'
Many people have mistaken this, and be
cause they are entirely indifferent, because
they don't care anything about the future
of their salvation they think they have
peace. That is not peace. If-it is, then
a horse has more peac* than man, and a
rock than a horse. Stupidity is one
thing, and 'the peace of Clod which passeth
all understanding,' is a very different
affair. When the heart 'is conformed to
the image of the heavenly, when the soul
has become the subject of regenerating
grace, this enmity is subdued, and there
flows from the heart to God a peaceful,
happy, blessed me - Ignition, the spirit cry
ing out, "Abba Father !" and there flews
from God to that heart a blessed, pleasing
testimony, the witness of the Spirit with
our spirits that we are the children of God
and along with that, the influence of the
Comforter for the reason that He under
takes, when this great change is wrought
to administer strong, cons dation to His
children."

A cottnEspoNDENT of the Cincinnati
Gazette calls the attention of Mr. Inters )11
to the opinion which Burns, his favorite
poet, expresses concernilig loud-mouthed
infidels like himself. As Ingersoll is a
lecturer—though a poor one—on Burns,
cud lauds him to the skieq, the quotation
is certainly opportune—ani probably no
man ever needed morn thin' he dues to lay
it to heart :

And even the rigid feature.
Yet ne'er with wits profane to range
Be complaisance extended :
An atheist laugh's a poor exchange.
IViien ranting round in pleasure's ring,
Religion may be blinded,
Or if she give a random sing,
It msy be little minded;
But when on life we're tempest driven,
• A conscience but a canker ,
A confidence fixed on heaven •
Is sure a noble anchor."
BALDWIN, of Monroe City, Ind,'
writes under date of Dec. 3d, 1877, that
his wife used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Pre
scription with wonderful results. It
effected her entire cure, after several
physicians had failed. The many similar
letters positively affirming that the Favor
ite Prescription had cured the diseases and
weaknesses peculiar to women, induced Dr.
Pierce to sell it under a guarrantee. Ladies
need no longer submit to useless and pain
ful local treatment, as the Favorite Pre
scription is a safe, sure, and speedy cure.
Hundreds who had been bed-ridden for
years have been restored to perfect he4lth
by its use.
