A Mlfflfciir of ago, when Mich
s£an was a new ckuntry, in Living-!
gton county, there lived a family by
tlio uanio of Clayton, and one called ;
Perkins also —as well as a great many
others
Pete Clayton was a tall, fine look .
ing follow —a noble specimen of out
back-woodsmen stanking six feet two
inches in his stockings.
Pete had taken a shine to Miss Sally
Perkins, and it was known in fact that
they were engaged, but the day when!
the knot was to be lied had not yeti
been divulged.
In the month of August, 1849, June's
circus came through their town lor the
first time, and in fact it was the first
time, and in fact it was the first circus
that had ever passed that way and
there were a great many people that
had never seen one. When the im
portant day arrived the town was tilled
to overflow with a motley crowd, ot
course, and every young fellow had
his gal. Now, Peto wanted to get
married on the coming Christmas, but
Sally wished to have it put oft till the
next spring. When the ticket wagon
was opened the tent was filled in a
hurry. Peto and Sally had been look
ing through the side shows and they
were late in getting in, and the per
formance had already commenced
They walked around the entire ring
t tying to find a seat, and although they
could seat two thousand people, every
seat was occupied.
'Never mind/ said Sal, 'l'd just as lief
stand up.'
Put the gallant Pete couldn't think
of it, and said, 'wait a min't, I'll get
you a chair/ and off he started, leav
ing Sal all alone.
Just at this moment the clown came
in, crossed in his usual custom, and
dancing around the ring, stopped right
in front of Sal and began to sing :
'Oh Sally is the gal for me.'
This caused Sal to blush, for she
thought that the clown was looking
at her. As she stood near the ring, of
course she hid the view of those on {
the lower seats behind her, and as
usual on such occasions, the clown
cracked his jokes at such offenders
until they take the hint and find a
seat, but she said she would rather
stand up. At this the clown coin
inenced hisjokes, remarking to the ring
master :-
'There's a chance for me now.'
A chance for you V
'Yes, don't 3-011 sec that gal has lost
her beau, and she's looking at me, i
know/ and turning three or four sorn
ersai Its, he stopped in front of Sal and
began to 6ing :
'Oh Sally i. the gal for me,
1 would have no other.
And if Sally died to-morrow night,
I'd marry Sally's mother.'
This was evidentlj* meant for her.
raised Sal's dander, and she burst out
with
'l'm the gal for 30U, am I? Marty
ny mother, would yer? You low
lived spotted scum of the earth. It
103* feller was here he would wallop
you lor that. I wouldn't stu3' here
another minit—nor neither would any
decent people either.'
Saying which she rushed out of the
tent atnid roars of laughter.
Thought lie Had Her.
An old Dutch farmer had a hand
some daughter, named Minnie, who
lately* joined the Methodist church,
against which the old farmer was
somewhat prejudiced. The young min
inter, under whose instrumentality
Miss Minnie was converted, visited her
frequently, and excited his suspicion
that all was not right. Accordingl}*, he
visited the church on Sunday night,
and seated himself, unobserved, among
the congregation.
Soon after taking his scat, the min
ister, who was preaching from Daniel,
sth chapter, 251h verse, repeated in a
loud voice the words of his text, 'Mene.
mene, tekel upharsin,' upon which the
old farmer sprang to his feet, seized
the afrighted girl by the arm and hur
ried her nut of the meeting house
Having reached the church 3-ard, he
gave vent to his feelings in the words:
' I knows dare vassomething wrong,
and now J schwares to 'em.'
' Whv, father, what do 3011 mean?'
replied the bewildered and innocent
girl.
• Did'nt 1/ shouted the old man,
striking his fists together, and stamp
ing with his foot, 'didn't 1 bear de pur
son call out to you, ' Minnie, Minnie,
tickle <le parson ?'
AGHICULTURAIa.
Frcnrh Method of Raising Tomatoes.—
As soon as a cluster of flowers is visi
hie, the stem is topped down to the
cluster, so 1 hat the flowers terminate
the stein. The effect is that the sap
is immediately impelled into the two
buds next below the cluster, which
soon push strongly* and produce anoth
er cluster of flowers each. When these
are visible, the branch to which they
belong is also topped down to their
level; and this is done five times sue
cessively. 113* this means the plants
become stout, dwarf bushes, not above
eighteen inches high. In order to pre
vent their falling over, st ieks or strings
are stretched horizontally along the
rows, so as to keep the plants erect
In addition to this, all the laterals that
have no flowers, and after the fifth top
ping, all laterals whatsoever are nip
ped off. In thiH way tho ripo sap
directed into tho fruit, which acquire
a beauty, size and excellence unatluin
able by other means.
Farm Labor. —Tho price of farm la
hor, as given in the Monthly Report ol
tho Agricultural Department, is: In
the Eastern States, 833.30 per month ;
in the Mi Idle States, 830.07 per month;
in tho Western States, 828.91 ; in the
Southern States, 810.00; in Oregon,
835.75; in California, 845 71 In Mas
sachusetts the price is 838 91 per month
which is higher than any other Stato
1 . BSBW ■■
except California. This is attributed
to the great variety of industry in the
! State, only about one fourth of the peo
! pie being employed in agriculture.—
This makes a ver\* lively demand for
! all farm products. The greater varie
ty of occupations in a State the better
for laborers. There has been an ad
vance in the price of labor of about
! seventy per cent, in the last fort 3* 3'ears,
| notwithstanding an immigration of 5,-
000,000 of people. The greatest want
of the country is labor to develop our
' resources. —.4 m. A;/.
The Ruining Tree. The Island of
Ferro is one of the largest of the Ca
nary group, and it has received its
name on account of its iron bound soil,
through which no river or streams
flow. It lias also hut few wells and
these not very good. But the great
Preserver and Siistainer of all, reme
dies this inconvenience in away so ex
it raordinary that lie gives in this un
deniable demonstration of His won
derful goodness. In the midst of the
island there grows a tree, the loaves ot
which are long and narrow, and con
tinues in constant verdure, wintorand
summer, and the branches are covered
with a cloud which is never dispelled,
but resolvingitsclf'intomoisture,causes
to fall from its leaves a very clear wa
ter, in such abundance that cisterns
| placed at its foot to receive it are never
empty.
JftECXIPJES-
A Pleasant Summer Drink. —To five
gallons of cold water, add 1 quart of
|sound corn and 2 quarts of molasses.
Put into a keg. Shake well, and in
2 or 3 days it will be tit tor use. Bung
tight. It m.-y be flavored with essence
ot spruce 01 lemon. The corn will last
to make sor t> brewings. It it becomes
sour, add more molasses and water. It
is a cheap and simple beer, and is called
very good. A Yankee girl sa3's this.
Moss on Flower Tots. —Ladies who
are fond of cultivating flowers in the
house will find a great benefit to the
plants ly spreading a coating of moss
over the earth in the flower pots This
keeps the water from evaporating, and
temperature more uniform. Tea grounds
are often used for the same purpose.
When a flower pot sets in a saucer,
with a hole in the bottom of the pot,
put a little sand iu the saucer and cover
it with moss. You will then have a
vciy simple and admirable arrange
ment
Housekeepers, farmers, mechanics,
| every body don't care to know how to
stop tiie flow of blood from a cut or
wound. Here's the remed3*: Take
the fine dust of tea and bind it close
to the wound. After tho blood ceases
to flow, laudanum may be advantage
; OUSI3- applied to the wound Due regard
to these instructions in the absence of
medical skill, might save inary lives.
Croup. —Wring a linen cloth—cotton
will do, but linen is preferable—out of
cold water, fold it so as to make several
thicknesses, and place it upon the
child's throat and chest,then foldadrv*
flannel and wrap carefully over it
Waim the child's feet —with hot stones
if necessary—and cover with plenty
of bed clothes, and let it go to sleep;
3-011 cannot percicve when it wakes
that it has even a cold. It acts like a
charm.

Scraps Concerning education.
COLLECTED H¥ 11.
Knowledge and Power.
Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one,
. Have nfi time- no connection. Know edge dwells
i in lie-ads replete with th ughis of other men;
Wisdom, in nmni- attentive to their own.
• Knowledge, a rude, unprofitable mass—
The mere materials with wltieh wisdom builds—
Till smoothed, and squared, and fitted to it- place,
Does but encumber what it seems to enrich!
Knowledge is proud 'hat he has learned so much,
Wisdom is humble that ho knows no more.
—Oowper.
Education onsanotified by religion

ligion unenlightened by education bo
gets superstition and despotism. The
school house without the church pro
duces Chirm; tho church without tho
school house, 11 :tly; the church and tho
school-house, Republican America.
7he School Master. —The test of a
: good school master, is his power of im
proving the class of average btys; the
test of an excellent one is his success
in raising these who are below the
average. And to these he should turn
his attention, on the same principle
I that the economist is advised to take
care of the pence, and leave the pounds
to take care of themselves.
A Good Movement —The b<)3's of tho
I grammar school at New Bedford,
Mass , have o ganized themselves into
u society for the suppression of pro
j Canity and vulgarity in their school.
We know some Mifflin county hoys of
a 'larger growth' who ought to join
i that society.
Ho who, l>3* his principles or prac
, t.ico, corrupts the manners and morals
/of the rising generation will reap a
terrible harvest of woe! Better for
: such a man if he had not been born !

Dr. Arnold, when at Lalehum, lost
all patience with a dull scholar, when
the pupil looked up into bis face and
said, 'Why do you speak angrily, sir '!
Indeed, I am doing the best 1 can.'
Years after the doctor used to teil the
story to bis own children, and say, i
never felt so ashamed of myself in my j
life. That look and that speech I have
never forgotten.' Is not tins a very
suggestive fact for many parents and
teachers, and for masters, too, who are
oftentimes impatient and unreasonable
with youths of this class
Education. —Thewald thought it very
unfair to influence a child's mind by
inculcating any opinion before it should
have come t<> 3" cars of discretion, and
be able to choose for itself. I showed
him my garden, and told him it was
my botanic garden. 'How so/'said
he, 'it is all covered with weeds ' 'Oh,'
I replied, 'that is because it has not yet

j The weeds, you see, have taken the
liberty to grow, and 1 thought it un

Machine Stitches:

ELASTIC STITCn
AND THE
SHUTTLE Oil LOCK STITCH,
THE Grover A Baker Elastie-Stitoh Sewing Machines
are superior to all others for the following reasons:
11. They sew direct from the spools, and require no
rewinding of thread.
'J. They are tnore easily understood and used, and
| less liable to derangement than other machines,
j 3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without
change of adjustment,a much greater variety of work
! than other machines.
| 4. The stitch made by these machines is much more
i fitm, elastic, and dufable, especially upon articles
i winch require to be washed and ironed, than any
I other stueh.
I o. This stiteh. owing to the manner in which the
' under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump
I and beautiful in use. and retains this plumpness ami
beauty even upon articles frequently washed and
ironed until they are worn out.
6. The structure of the seam is such that though it
be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches it
will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and
durable.
7. Unlike other machines, these fasten bothendsof
the seam by their own operation.
8. With these machines, white silk is used upon the
right or face side of the seam, cotton may be used
upon the other side without lessening the strength or
| durability of the seam. '1 ins can be done on noothet
i machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stiteh-
I ed or made up with silk.
; 9. These machines, ill nddition to their superior
merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of ad
; lustment, easily learned and practiced, execute the ;
; most beautiful and permanent embroidery and uriia-;
i mental work.
