itittlc .fun jßoir and pen. j Irrefrayeble J'roof.—A Philadelphia j gentleman of festive tastes, who takes a 4 fair shake' at all the obtainable pleasures of the town, last week assis ted at a heavy dinner, took much port able, and did not leave for home until ever so many o'clock. On reaching j his door step and fishing up his night ! key, bo became satisfied that lie was essentially convivialized, and not pre eisely in that condition which a good husband should be to meet a good wife. Cautiously entering tho hall, he stop ped, listened a moment, heard no noise, and congratulated himself that tin family were asleep Quietly he toot off overcoat, drew of! boots, turned oil hall light, slowly ascended stairs to family bed room, hesitated at door, be lieved he was reasonably right, stealth ily entered, found gas turned low, wife apparently asleep; thought she w.- asleep; sat down, listened again, no stir; began to undress; got coat, vest, pants, drawers, stockings, all safely off ; was journeying carefully toward couch, when wife of his bosom quietly asked: l Coming to bed, dear?' 'Yes, love!' 'Well, dear, hadn't you bettei take off your hat?' Sliyhtly Mistaken. The following story is told in relation to the popular per nicious vice of 'fortune-telling': 'lsm many evenings since, it is recorded that a sinner who had escaped hanging for lo! these many years, was in com pany with several ladies. The subject of fortune-telling was introduced. Sev eral of the 'angels' plead guilty to the soft impeachment of having written to Madame This and Madame That to furnish leaves for their future history. Instances of some remarkable develop ments in a certain case hereabouts were mentioned. Old R— was asked for his opinion. He replied, 'So far as I am personally concerned, I know more about myself than I wish to. I don't think any good coines of those things. I had a friend who dressed himself in lady's apparel, and called upon a celebrated prophetess. He did not believe she would discover tho dis guise, but be heard what made him ex ceedingly unhappy ' Here the old rep. robate ceased. A lady who wasmueli interested asked: ' What did she tell him ?' 'She told him he was to marry soon, and become the mother of ten children.' Theatrical. —During Mr. Kean's per iormance of Hi chard 111, some years ago, at the Park Theatre, New York, a green Vermonter, who was a stran ger to the mimic art, never having been at the theatre before, took a seal in tlie pit, near the orchestra, and was observed to watch the performance with absorbing interest. He neither joined in the applause bestowed on the performers, nor in the hisses lavished on the 'supes,' but silently and admir ingly looked on at the play. He beard the drum beat to arms at Bosworth field—heard Bichard's soul stirring ad dress to his army, and that of Rich mond also —he saw the onslaught, and heard the clash of arms —and still did he preserve his silence; but when at length Richard comes reeling in, almost overcome by the loss of blood and the disasters of the day, crying out, at tin top of his voice— * A horse ! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!* the Vermonter rose, and -sung' out, — 'Look here, stranger, I hain't got no horse, but I have a first rate bobtail mare round here at the stable—assure footed a critter as ever cantered; jut hold on there, I'll bo blamed if I don't bring her to you right off!' The Vermonter, as they say r in crit ical parlance, 'brought down the house ' A Roarer. —The followingannecdote is told of a Western Judge. He was once holding court at a place where a temporary jail had been concocted out of a stable. A ease of local interest was brought before him, and the judg ment given excited the intense admi ration of one of tho ' roarer' species present. His delight was too great to be repressed, and lie burst forth with : 'Go it, old Gimlet eye!' 'Who was that?' said the Judge, quickly. ' I'm the boss,' said the man, rising in the expectation of being compli rnented on his perspicuity. 'Constable,' said the Judge, quietly, 'take that horse and put him in the stable 2' Never Kissed a White Girl. —Some time ago a planter a short distance from Memphis gave a party to the young folks in the neighborhood, it was a gay one, and in the course of the evening the boys and girls played for feits. While this was going on, it chanced that the son of the planter, a nice, modest f llow, had to claim a for leitj of some of the girls, hut was over come with diffidence. 'Goahead, John,' said the planter, 'and kiss some of the girls.' John hitched from one foot to the other, blushed, and finally blurted out- ' I—l never kissed a white girl, father.' The laughter that ensued may be imagined. B£B-Tho following Irish conversation was heard in a street in St. Louis: 'Pat, what do you think of President Johnson?' 'Faith, an' he's a good raer cbant.' How so, Pat?' 'Be jabers! hie Sold arms to the Fenians then took the arms back and sold the Fenians.' Powerful Preacher. —'Ah, me,' said a pious lady, ' our minister was a very powerful preacher; for the short time j he ministered among us, he kicked three pulpits to pieces, and banged the! ip'ards out of five Bibles.' BSsi?"A Scotchman asked an Irishman why half farthings were coined in England? Pat's answer was: ' To give Scotchmen an opportunity of sub i scribing to charitable institutions.'

They sew direct from the spools, and require no rewinding of thread. 2. They are more easily understood and used, and less liable to derangement than other machines. .'i. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment,* much greater variety of work than other machines. 4. The stiich made by these machines is much more fiim, elastic, and durable, especially upon articles Iwtuch require to be washed and ironed, than anv I other stitch. 5 This stitch, owing to the manner in which the under thread is inwrought, is tntieh the most plump ; and beautiful in use, anu retains this plumpness and | beauty even upon articles Irequentiy washed and | ironed until they are worn out. t>. The structure of the seam is such that though it j be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches it i will neither open, run, or ravel, hi;, remains firm and ; durable. ; 7. Unlike other machines, these fasten both ends of i the seam by their own operation. 5. With these machines, white silk is used upon the i right or face side of the scant, cotton may be used J upon t'ne other side without lesseuingthe strength or j durability of the seam. This can be done on no othei ; machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stitch ■ cd or made up w itn silk. 9. These machines, in addition to their superior 1 merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of ad justment. eu.-iiy learned and practiced, execute the most beautiful and permanent embroidery and orna mental work.

AGRIC ULT . A Thousand Dollar Cow. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman tells a story of a remarks bio cow owned by a Mr. Sratham of New Hampshire. If the statements aro true, it is probably the most pro. ductive cow in the world. The record runs thus: 'lt is stated, on the an. thority of the Massachusetts Agricul. tural Society, that this cow, in tho tirst year after being bought, and with i ordinary keep, made ISO pounds of butter. The next year she had twelve bushels of corn meal, and then gave GOO pounds of butter. The next year >he had thirty-five bushels, and gave more than 500 pounds. The next year | she had a bushel a week and all her | own milk skimmed, and she then gave | from the sth of April to the 25th of September, 480 pounds, besides suck ling her calf for five weeks. It was an extraordinary yield, but it seeing the Scammon cow takes the load by at least 130 pounds. The cow i-of the Ayrshire breed, of a pale yellow color and was raised by Mr. S. When sho was six years old, an account of butter made from her was kept. The num ber of pounds realized was six hundred and ten, and her milk fourteen thous and live hundred and forty pounds, being almost 40 pounds a day through the year, and nearly twelve pounds of | butter a week through the year.'— That must be the cow the city lady was inquiring for—'the one that gives the buttermilk.' Excellent Whitewash. Whitewash is one of the most valu able articles in the world when prop erly applied. It prevents not only the decay of wood, but conduces greatly to the healthinessofali buildings,wheth er of wood or stone. Outbuildings and fences, when not painted, should he supplied once or twice every year with a good coat of whitewash, which should be prepared in . the following way: Take a clean, water-tight barrel, or other suitable cask, and put into it half a bushel of lime. Slack it by pouring water over it, boiling hot, and in sufficient quantity to cover it five inches deep, and stir it briskly until thoroughly slacked. When the slack has been effected, dissolve it in water, and add two pounds of sulphate of zinc and one of common salt. These will cause the wash to harden, and prevent | its cracking, which gives an unseemly appearance to the work. If desirable, | a beautiful cream color may be com municated to. the above wash by add | ing 3 pounds of yellow ochre; or a 1 good pearl or lead color, by the addi tion of lamp, vine or ivory black.— Turkish or American, the latter is the cheapest, one pound Indian red, and one pound common lampblack. For common stone color add four pounds raw umber and two pounds lampblack. This wash may be applied with a com- I mon brush, and will be found much I superior, both in appearance and dura bility, to common whitewash now in use. Weeds. Jlovv to Dispose of Them. A correspondent of the Rural Amer ican, writing on the subject says: j 'This is the way to dispose of them : Clean out your garden, removing as ! far as possible every weed, root and ' branch, but do not leave them scattered all over the surface of the ground. If j you do they will be very apt to take I root and grow. Besides, if left ex posed to the sun, their fertilizing value i will be wasted, for the greatest part of j their substance will decompose and es j capo by evaporation. The best way is to gather them in heaps, and cover i with a little dirt, and leave them to [decay. This will leaye the ground clean, and it will remain so much lon ger than it otherwise would; and they will assist to improve the soil winch their growth has helped to iuipover ' ish. Save Your Oil —Put the wick into the lamp, and fill the latter about hali | full with coarse salt,-and then putin I about one inch of oil, and it will be j found that great saving will be the re suit. The salt wastes gradually away during the burning, and must therefore be renewed from time to time. The light is purer and moro brillant than without the salt, and the wick needs no snuffing. Labels. —ln writing on wooden labels I or marked sticks, with a common pen cil. if the wood is first wet, the mark will last for two years; if written on dry, one or two rains will wash it all away.
