FARM AND HOUSEHOLD ITEMS Wfl invito oommunlrstlonK from all persons who are jntcrfit'fl in niatton iiroporly UoloiiKiiis- to this de partment. A Country Boy's Achievement. Over fifty year no, a youth, working on a farm, asked his father to give him money enough to buy n gun. The old mau could not spare it, but the boy, uothiug daunted, found on old piece of iron about the plnoe, and in the course of time contrived to make a gun barrel out of it, with tho very meager facilities afforded by acountry blacksmith's shop. lie had not the materials to make a lock and stock, so he walked to tho nearest town and traded for tho necessary attach ments, and was encouraged by the smith for having made so good a shooter ; this gave him tho ambition to mako another, so ho went to cutting out grindstones from the native rock to raise the money for gun ma terials ; in a short tinio there was a consid erable demand for guns of his make. Dur ing the French war with Pruissia, he was called upon to furnish guns for the army, and iu less than eight months he made and delivered to the government of France rifles of a particular pattern, costing Ave millions of dollars, which amount was duly paid. Tho same man furnishes riflcs'now for tho United States, South America, Homo, Bpain, Egypt, and Japan. The fanners boy who wanted a gun is Eliphalct Remington, of Ilion, N. Y. His manufactory covers four acres of ground, and he employs twelvo hun dred men. Not satisiied with this achieve ment, ho has recently completed a sewing machine, which is reported to represent tho latest and most perfect advance in the im provements of this important adjunct of do mestic economy. This is tho type of a boy who, when there is not a way, makes a way for himself. Many a youth would have sat down and pouted, thiuking over what a hard thing it was that he could not get a gun, with hard thoughts against tho father for being so stingy. Not so with young Romington ; he wanted a gun and was determined to have it ; and he got it by his own energy and pluck. - Female Ingenuity. There is a quilt in the Cincinnati Exposi tion which is composed of 24'7S0 pieces of cloth, and nobody knows how long it tOjpk to put them together. There is another quilt mado of silk, and into every figure is elaborately wrought some text of Scripture. There is also a rug of worsted work which required the constant work of three women for mouths. It was made for somo young lady to stand upon at the supreme momeut of her maniagc. It is rcmarkablo to note tho fornix in which tho female ingenuity displays itsolf. The pictures hung around the walla of the ladies department illustrate of some of the peculiarities. First iu number , came tho worsted piotures. There are a great varie ty of subjects of every grado and merit. Then come pictures, somo of them as . im pressive landscapes (at ft distance) as any art hall can furnish, and actually mado of hair. The scene of Hagar in the wildorness is portrayed with bo much skill that it is dijllcult to believe that all the effects ' are worked out sololy from the material of hair. Another curiosity is a picture, or rather a representation of flowers carved out of bilk er's bread and touched up with paint so that it look like careful wax-work. This piece lias retained its features for five years, and unless the rats gut at it, is good for five years more. 1 ' -. ' . s Then come wreaths of (lowers made from seeds. Pumpkin seeds, com, rice, and wheat are the priuclple constituents, and they are so worked up, a to look remarka bly like natural flowers. There are also wreaths and pictures of shell work ; frames and wreaths made of bit of leather ; pic tures and wreaths cnt with wonderful skill in white paper ,; bead work ornaments ; flow ers of fish-scales ; a " snow tree" made ol frayed linen, and a score of other monstros ities which none but a woman's lnaiu could ever have invented. - ' EST The meMnid (' Harvesting corn by cutting the iu iU dose to the ground aod curing the crop in shocks has no injurious effect upon the grain. If cut when the grain is glazed, the corn ripens perfectly, and the value of the fodder it greatly more than when the crop is topped or left until it is dry. t3T The " lock-out" of English farm la borers, which has recently come to an end, lasted 18 weeks, and cost the National La borer' Union 112.1,000,: Two thousand four hundred men wore ' locked out of these 400 have migrated cisewere, 440 have emigrated, and 1,320 have returned to work, leaving 840 still unemployed. ,' .', . ' Pressed Beef. Salt a piece of the thin part of the Hanks, the tops of the ribs, or a piece of the brisket, for five day. Boil until very tender; then place between two boards, with a heavy weight upon the top one, and lot it remain until cold. Berve it as it is, nud garnish it with parsley. A NEW AND COMPLETE Bible Commentary In One Volume, liy Doctor Jamiehon, FAUssrr and Drown, Containing nearly 1C00 Pages, and 200 Handsome Illustrations and Maps. It Is Far In Advance of tho Older Works. It It Critical. ITaclical and Ksilanatnry It it (Jnminllvut atvl ChmprehcnKirt, tn It Charac ter Jt hata Critical. Introduction to each Hook of Rcri)itvrr, and It by far the mint Practical, Niittestirti, Scientific and 1'opulur Work of the kind in the Hnolinh iMnrntaim. It has advantages over any oilier similar work, In tho following Important particulars s 1st. Its TuonouoiiNKss ; 2nd. Its Modkrnness ; Hrd. Its Compactness. TIio work Is pub lished In ono volume which Is a convenience. There are no blank apace, nor is the book till ed up with unnecessary portions of the toxt. It Ib whnt its purports to bo, a Commentary, not a Bible. "It Is literally packed," says Ur. Wiley, "full of good things." 4th. Its Bhkvity. Dr. Smith, Editor Chi cago Standard, says, " I havo in several In stances seen a sermon In ntentcnee." 6th. Its Liup.ual Spirit. It Is more unscc tarian than any other Commentary. Kev. W. I.. Uaffo, of Hartford, says, "The names of the authors are a sufliclcut guarauty against any denominational traits in it." 0th. Its Scriptural References. 7th. Its Illustrations and Maps. Thcso are largor, better, and more numerous than can be found in any other book of this kind ; 8th. Its Cheapness. No Commontnry of Its size and merit was ever sold for anything like the price. The unqualified commendations of this Com mentary, from the highest sources, together with its already extensive and rapidly increas ing sale, have given it a position in tho reli gious world superior to that of any similar work. Wo give a few of tho many testimonials giv en iu praise of this most valuable work : Rev. James McCosh, D. D., President of Princeton College, says: "It Is clear, brief, judicious and eminently fitted tn be useful, alike to pastor and people. Kev. Joseph dimming, D. D. I,. L. I). Pres. Weslcynn University, says : " My first favora ble impressions of tho great merits of your Commentary have been cnnllrmed upon further examinations. It presents in a clear and di rect manner the most authoritative view of the meaning of the Scriptures. Rev. C. D. IIARTUANFT, Pastor of 2d Re formed Church, New Brunswick, N. J., says: " I deem It particularly useful tor the ordinary readerof the Biblo, still more for the Sabbath School Teacher, and it would be a most agreea ble companion in Family Devotional Exercises, that are so often aimless becuuso of the effort to awaken feeling without stimulating knowl edge. A course of ScriptUro reading through this Commentary will promote Interest in, the truth, by promoting the apprehensions of Its meaning." ' Prof. Calvin E. Btowe, D. D., Hartford, Conn., says : " I like it better thau any work of tho kind I have yet seen." Rev. J. C. Bodwrll, Prof. In Hartford The ological Seminary, says: "I have examined carefully, and with constantly increasing sat isfaction, this new and Comprehensive Com mentary. It has been a most pleasant sur prise to me to find in so moderate a compass so largo an amount of scholarship, and of full, sound Interpretation, combined with so much of practical wisdom. Sabbath school teachers will welcome It ns a most vnluublo addition to whatever other Commentaries they may pos sess." Rev. A. W. Decker, Pastor M.E. C, New Bloonifleld,Pa.,says: "I feel fully persuaded in my own miud of Its intrinsic value, it being so concise and cheap, tha- it meets the wants of a greater number, than any Commentary pub lished. it Jnst tlie thing for NuperlnttmUntt and Ttachtrt of Sunday School' and all who wish a correct knowledge of tho Bible." .. Rev. John Edgar, A. M., Pastor Pres. C'h., N. Bloorulleld, says: 'I am often asked to uame a Commentary on the Word of God, more modern and more brief than Scott, Henry, &c, and I always recommend the above, If a Com mentary Is wanted on the whole Bible. Families teachers, and 8. 8. Superintendents, often find lttoomuehto buy separate works on the dif ferent books of Scripture. To such I would say here it a good work on all, combined." Rev. P. Bhkrdkk, Pastor Et. Lutli. Church, New Bloomtlold, says, " So far as my limited knowledge of the Commentary goes, it forces the conviction on my mind that It Is of more than ordinary value. It will be of great bene fit to the minister in his responsible work, and of special interest and benefit tn the family and individuals." The following shows bow tho work Is receiv ed elsewhere. Rev. Sam'l Moore, Pastor of rrcs. unurcn, Tyrone, ra., says i " i sold 35 copies of the Commentary In about two hours' actual work. I sold six copies before rising from chair. People come aud ask for it." . 240 Copies were sold in three small towns in New Jersey) lot) Copies were sold in Milton, Pa.( IK) Copies in Lowisburg, Pa.) 110 Copies In Wlllhimsporlt HM) Copies In Watsontown UVi Copies In Scranton. 4-sfThls Commentary Is sold by subscrip tion una win do onerea 10 me people or ferry County, by Rev.
