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.'

1 are superior to all others for the following reasons:
1. 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

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

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.
