LKENSON'S Journal in Hrarth
and llomn ;ivcs sonic rood advice
in a humorous way, about tins necessity
of brining some jilan of action, and ad
hering to it.
"Hut about that matter of decidin' what
to plant, ordecidin' any thii) else it's cx
tr'ordinary how many shilly-islially folksarc
in the world. 1 nev tr want to buy my hay
(if a man that can't juitu make un his
mind whether he can spare it or not
it's I'retty apt to be musty hay. lie's
never qui to siii'.', of a smoky morniii',
whether it's best to begin to cut or wait
over, and he most generally gets his hay
wet.
Old Sol Flunk, who was a good sort o'
man in his way, and had lots o' ible
knowledge he was one o' them kind
that never made up his mind whether
he'd better put in potatoes or corn, til it
got so late he lost his ehaueo at potatoes,
and then along the twenty-fifth o' May
ho began debatin' if he hadn't better keep
a piece for buckwheat ; and it generally
ended with an acre or two left over, which
lie had to plant to cow-horn turnips.
And the funny part of it is that this
sort ' drif'tiu' men arc always fiiidiu' rea
sons, when their chance is gone, to show
that what they did do was just what they
calculated on when they sot out.
Well, old Sol Frin k wa'n't wo'thadum
cent when he died. They do say that
afore he married he used to stand ten
minutes in the cold, of a January mornin'
debatm' whether he'd better put on his
best trousers or his second best; but ar
ter he got married, his wife, who was a
likely woman, put a stop to that business.
.But she couldn't keep him up to taw out
o' doors.
I don't want a man to work for me who
don't know, p'int-blank, of a July morn
ing, whether his scythe is sharp enough,
or whether it ain't.
And it ain't only the men folks that
get sot back with this shilly-shally way.
There's lots o' women that if you put 'em
down in a store o' goods, can't make up
their minds about a frock any more than
Sol Fr'mk could about hayiu'.
I used to say to Jcrushy when she was
younger and she ain't so very old now :
Jerusby, my gal," says I, " you can buy
a new calico gown if you want to, and if
you won't keep the marc stan'in' moro'n
ton minutes to buy it in. But," says 1.
" don't go to bringin' homo samples, and
don't tell the store folks you will call in
ag'in."
That " eallin' ag'in" is ji great feeder
to the do-nothin's. I don't want any
body to " call ag'in," unless they've show
ed they've got some mind o' their own,
the first time they call.
There was Marictty Sprolc, Parson
Holies' first wife's niece a likely girl
handsome a gal lblks took to. Hut she
never quite knew her own mind; she
couldn't buy u ribbon without, hemmin'
and hawin' an amiable creatur' too.
W'apples was courtin her once; but
slio didn't quite know whether she liked
lain or not well enough. Sonic days she
thought she did, and then iig'in soldo
days she thought sho didn't.
AVcll, Wapplesi wa'n't o' them sort; so
one Sunday night he ups and stops a
oomin'. Marietty died afterward; but if it
"had been left to her, she never could ha'
told without a day or two's thinkin'
whether they'd better ha' made the i-lirotnl
o' dimity or onto' good unbleached York
.Mills.
teT" An M. D. writes to an exchange :
A cure for whooping cough may be had
by the following recipe. To one ounce
of the dried leaves of the common chest
nut tree add a quart of boiling water,
and when the infusion is cold give a cup-
f'ul three times a day, th last dose being
given when the patient retires. After
twenty-four or thirty-six hours the pa
tient will be relieved, and then the dose
Jiiay be administered in mnallei quantity.
Bisa'" The Massachusetts Nnrman says
'there h a close and intimate connection
between the nervous and secretory sys
tems of a cow, and this explains the litct
that she will often " hold up her milk,"
:its it is termed. It shows also that every
'milker should strivo to bo on pood terms
"with the cow he is about to milk. If he
is a perfect stranger to her, lie should
take time to gain her cufidence and good
will by handling ler gently and petting
her, or giving er something sho is fond
of to 'cat.

KlS Trees In Ohio.
McC'omb, lluncock 'Co., Ohio,
March 4th, 1870.
PeaiiSir: When visiting my friends
in Ferry county, about a year ago 1 saw
a letter in one of the county papers, from
Philip Kbert, of Crawford county, Ohio,
bragging of the big tree he had just cut.
Some of my friends thought I hardly had
a tree as large on my fafin, though I
thought at the time I had one pretty near
it. Altar my return home I measured
the oak treo that 1 had in view, and found
that four feet from the ground it meas
ured eighteen feet and seven inches in
ein uinl'ercnce; besides this, it is very
tall and carries its thickness well up.
also have several others from four to five
feet in diameter. If any of my Perry
county friends doubt this, let them come
out and see fir themselves, and if the
tree above men tinned is not as large as I
say, I will help them to work it up into
shingles, and give them the forty-acre lot
in which it stands.
A near neighbor of mine named Thom
as, cut a white ash that measured five
feet across the stump from which he cut 5
twelve-foot saw logs, and it may interest
the teamsters to tell them that they were
hauled with one small span of horses.
So you see wo have some large trees in
this section of the country.
Yours truly, Isiiafj. Smith.
The tree mentioned, if I remember correctly,
measured six feet across the, stump and made sev
enteen thousand, .shingles, some, posts and live
curds of wood.
t.ri'F A correspondent sends us the fol
lowing recipe to make grafting wax :
" Take good, clean beeswax, one-third ;
resin, two-thirds; melt together, boil 'one
hour, then pour it into cold water. When
cold enough work it with the hands until
you think it well mixed. It not soft
enough to spread easy add a little more
wax. N. H. Hud your peaches into
plum sprouts. In budding take the
double buds. Graft your grapes into
wild grape roots ; you will have grapes
the next year without fail. One is worth
a dozen of those yon get out of the nur
series. I have had them to grow ten and
a half feet long the first year.
J3?"Sevcrc lingering Coughs are cured by
the use of Dr. Pierce's Alterative Extract
or Golden Medical Discovery in less than
half the time necessary to euro them with
any other medicine. For Hoarseness, Sore
Throat, Laryngit is, Bronchitis and the early
stages of Consumption, it surpasses every
thing before discovered. Ho!d by druggists

IPJTlsT KILLER.
A Cure for D'iptheria!
All interested, please read the follow ing extract
from a loiter from Mrs. Ellen 1!. Mason, wifeot
ltev. Francis Mason, Tounghoo, llinnah:
. . . My son was taken violently sick with dip
thcria, cold chills, burning fever, and sore threat.
I counted, one morning, ten little vescicles in id
throat, very white, and his tongue toward tho
root, looked like a watermelon full of seeds; the re
mainder coated as thick as a knife-blade. So many
children have died around here, I was afraid lo
call a physician, and thought I would try your Pain
Killer for a gargle w ith small doses inwardly. I
did so and found the gargle invariably cut off tha
vescicles, and lie raised them up often covered with
blood. He was taken on Sunday: on AYcdiiesday
his throat was clear and his tongue rapidly clearing
oil'. I also used it as a liniment with castor oH anil
hartshorn, for Ids neck. It seemed to me a won
derful cure, and I can but wish it could he Mm wit
to the many poor mothers In our land who are los
ing so many poor children by this dreadful disease.
I have found your Pain Killer one of the most
vaulable medicines ever used In Hurmah. Once I
wan stung by a very large black scorpion ; th pain
was indescribable. 1 immediately applied the Pain
Killer.(for I never travel w ithout it,) again amt
again, and in half an hour my foot was well.
Dr. Walton writes from Coshocton "Your Palm
Killer cures this new disease Diidheri'i, or
Tlirout that is so alarmingly prevalent here; and
It has not been known to fail in any instance when
used In time. This fact you should make know u to.
the world." (It is used in this disease as a gargle
and lotion as well as a tonic and a stimulant.
la Halifax where this disease prevailed torso
many months in its most malignant form, the nsc
ot Perry J)aiin " Pain Killer" win invariably at
tended with the mosl favorable results, when it was
used ere the disease had made too much progjess
to preclude the use of so powerful a stimulant.
