FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.. Paid his Tastv. A negro living near Dawson, Georgia having been fortunate enough to accu mulate considerable of this world's goods desired as all loyal subjects do to pay trx es on the same. It being a new business to him, he did not know there vas a proper officer for receiving the tax, and ooncluded all that was necessary to find a roam with a white skin. Ceasequently he hailed the first man he met with ; " Say. boss, I want to pay my tax ; must I gib it to your" On Leing told - it would bo received by the comprehending white gentleman, the negro gave him $25 and asked if that was enough. "I suppose It is," said the whiteman. "Boss, gim me showin' for dat," said the negro. Again the wits of the white man were at work, and he soon handed the negro a slip paper with this inscription "As Moses lifted the serpent out of the wilderness, likewise have I lifted $25 out of this negro's pocket" Not long after this the negro was met By the tax collector proper, "Done, paid it, boss, and here's de rceipt," at the same time handing the piece of paper to the officer. Me read ; "As Moses lifted the serpent out of the wilderness, likewise have I lif ted *25 out of this negro's pocket." "Hold on boss, you read wrong l ejacu lated the astonished darkey, as he snatch ed the paper and carried it to another man, who began to read : "As Moses lift. ed—" Tlere he was interrupted by the negro, who exclaimed "Look a yar; jest gim me dat paper, Pm gwine to lift dat white man out •of his boots, 'fore de Lord I is." A Chapter on Sweeping ——o— It is surprising how few understand this daily necessity, and in consequence, it has become a great dread, not only to housekeepers themselves bat the entire family. Its object is to remove dirt and dust, and not to raise it in the air to settle again over everything. There are vari ous ways for its accomplishment ; many aro good, but of course I can only give mine, which is as follows, choosing the nimily sitting-room for my illustration : I. Protect yonr head from the dust,and your bands with a pair of old gloves. 2. pick up everything that is out of place ; remove table covers ; cover your lounge or sofa with a sheet, and other ar ticles that you can. 3. Take your dust-pan and broom, re -moving the litter round the store, work table and plant-stand. 4. Open at least two windows or doors, - rove all articles from the wall, and after making the corners and edges of your carpets clean, put each article in its place. Then taking up carefully all the dust you have dislodged,and then proceed with the centre of the room. Do not throw your broom high, but let your motions be qui et, as well as thorough. After the dust has well settled, begin to dust, taking your stove, mantles; and most exposed points first ; then remove covers' and with feather duster (mine is a nice wing,) make your window seshes. door mouldings and picture frames tidy. As the finishing is essential, I dampen m broom, by sprinkling with my hand with clear water, and duet my carpet by a few delicate passes over it After many years of experimerit,l have adopted the above for my lionday'S sweep ing, and find, that a little care, the re majader of the week keeps home at least comfortable. Map Your Farm. —o-- Every farmer should. have a complete map of his farm, with each field, pasture, and wood lot,togetber with all the fences, roads and ditches plainly drawn, and ei• ther numbered or named, so they can be readily distinguished; Few farmers can appreciate the real value of one until they have tried the experiment, for with a map of the farm before yon, you can direct your workman to any part of it without the least possibility of making a mistake. Yon can plan Improvements and estimate their cost at your leisure, instead of spending half a day of valua ble, time in surveying the land itself. Any person with a little ingenuity and patience can draw a map of his farm. It should be about two feet square, or larger if desired, and drawn upon thick eard-board to prevent its being torn or defaced. Let our Lamers try the experi ment, and they will soon learn its value. Potato Growing. A Mitgeachtmetts farmer writes : To prepare for a crop of potatoes, I turn ever in July a piece of green sward, %fter taking off the crop of bay. Then apply a liberal dressing of barn-yard manure, which is worked thoroughly into the soil by a pair of horses and a Share's barrow. After getting it fine, mellow and smooth, sow to Hungarian grass, which yields two - orators tons of good fodder to The acre. "Tbe next spring, after applying about five cords of strong barn ogler manure made from cattle which are liberally fed en-good hay and grain, the land is again +lowest cross plowed and harrowed till it is in the very best condition for growing -a crop of potatoes, the old sward being sow entirely rotten.

Max Aldeler, who writes for a Phila delphia paper, has a friend named Slim mer,who deserves pity. He was going up to Reading the otherday,and when reach ing the depot ho happened to look into the ladies' room. A woman sat there with a lot of baggage and three children, and when she saw Slimmer she rushed at him Bung her arms about his neck. nestled her head on his breast, and burst into tears. Slimmer was amazed, indignant confounded ; and ere he could find utter ance for his feelings, she exclaimed: "Oh, Henry. dear Henry! we are united at last. Are you well ?Is aunt Martha still alive ? Haven't you longed to see your own Louisa P And she looked into Slimmer's face and smiled through her tears. "Madhim," said he solemnly, "if I am the person alluded to as Henry, permit me to say that yon have made a mistake. My name is Lemuel, I have no aunt Mar tha, and I don't own a solitary Louisa. Onlige me by letting go my coatat excites mount." Then she buried her bonnet deeper into his waistcoat, and began to cry harder than ever, and said : "Oh, Henry, how, low can you treat me so ? How can you pretend you are not my husband ? "Madame,', screamed Slimmer, if yon do not cease sopping my shirt bosom,and remove your umbrella from my corn, I shall be obliged to call the police. Let me go say. "The children are here," she persisted 'They recognize their father, Don't you children ?" "Yes, yes," they exclaimed, "it's pa, it's .onr dear pa." And then they grappled Slimmer by the trowsers leg and hung to his coat "Woman I" he shrieked. "this is get ting serious. Unhand me, I say." And he tried to disengage himself from her embrace—while all tae brakemen,and the baggage master, and the newsboys stood around, and said his conduct was infamous. In the midst of the struggle a stranger entered with a carpetbag. He looked exactly 'like Slimmer—and when he saw his wife in Slimmers arms he be came excited, and floored Slimmer with the carpetbag, and sat on him,aud smote his nose and caromed on his head, and asked him what he meant. Slimmer was removed on a stretcher, and the enemy went off with his wife and family in a cab. He called next day to apoligize. His wife nail made the mistake because of Slim mer,s likeness to him. And now Slim mer wishes he may soon be kicked in the face by a mule, so that he will resemble no other human being on earth. What did Paul Say t —4)--- Many years since there lived in Virgin ia a Baptist preacher named Though uneducated, he was a sound thinker and eloquent speaker, and no minister had a more devoted flock. It was the custom during the inclement season to hold meetings at the residences of members, and once or twice during the winter at the house of the preacher. for many years it was observed that B. nei ther preached nor conducted the meet ing when held at his house, but secured the services of neighboring ministers,. He was often pressed for an explanation without success; but finally in response to the importunities of some of his flock. gave the following : "When I was younger than now - --in fact, not long after the commencement of my ministration—l held a meeting at my own home. It being customary for ma ny of the congregation to remain for din ner, Mrs. B— sent our negro boy, Tim, to neighbor Paul's for some butter. Tim returned and located himself, standing on one foot at a time, on the outskirts of the congregation. Being well warmed up in my sermon, thinking neither of Tim nor his errand, but only of the most success ful mode of pressing my strongest argu ments, I demanded, with all the energy in my power, 'And what did Paul say ?" "Tim, at the top of his little squeaking voice, exclaimed, as Tim could only have done :• said you conld'f get any more till you paid.for what you'd got !" "This brought down the house. and cut short one of the finest efforts of my early ministry. Since then I have kept my preaching disconnected from my domes tic affairs" HOW A VIRGINIA PREACHER PVT IT.- A correspondent of the Richmcnd Enqui rer tells the following story respecting a Baptist preacher of strong common sense but very rough hewn theology, who was widely known and much liked and re spected in Sonthside, Virginia, many years ago. The old parson was preach ing very earnestly about the certainty and the terrible nature and degree of the mis eries of the damned, and when be bad succeeded in working np himself and his awe struck auditory into terrified admi ration of his harrowing detail of horrors, he capped the climax after this fashion "My friends, you all know Major Clark's furnace ; you have seen it often, how the white hot coeds melt up iron thrown in to it like as it was snow. Well, it you took a sinner out of hell anti threw him into Major Clark's furnace, he'd have an ague in two minutes." A steward on an Ohio river steamer was addressed by an uneasy and excited individual, who wanted him to put some body off the boat. The candidate for a forcible disembarkment was pointed out, bat the steward could see nothing out of the way. "Yon don't, eh ? Don't you see a man sitting there hugging a woman ?" . yes," replied the stewart, "but what of that ? Hasn't a fellow a right to embrace his wife ?" "That's just what I want to run him out for," replied the stranger, dancing around. "That's my wife, and I've stood it so long that I've got mad l" A good story is fold of a gentleman in— well, we will not mention the place—who has been unfortnnate_of late in his finan cial affairs. While walking oat one even ing in% lonely - spot he ivas met by a ruf fin, and told to "stand and deliver.,' We must let the victim tell his own tale never was ea pleased in all my life. The idea that I had anything, and I thanked the fellow for the compliment. It showed that all ecnfidence in me was not- lost, notwithtaanding that little affair in Stocks, and I felt once more with Mr. Micawber that I could look my fellow men in the face. It was very pleasing to know that this gentionaia thought I ba4 money." Somebody having asked Treasurer Spinner if it is true that he swears louder than any one in Washington, that gentle man responds in a long letter explaining the instance which he supposed gave rise to the story. It was after the war, and the occasion was the presentation by a Confederate officer of a check for payment of services as field officer in the army of the United States previous to the war. Gen. Spinner says he reftised to pay it, and the refusal led to an animated con troversy, in which some pretty energetic language was used. When he got through a Presbyterian gentleman who stood by expressed his approval, and an elderly la dy of the Methodist persuasion clasped his hands and said : " Oh, Mr. Spinner, you know bow in my heart I abhor swear ing, but I declare for it that your swear ing sounds to me for all the world like prayers." On trial for Ewa assault some years since a medical witness, in giving his evidence, informed the court that, on examining the prostoution, he found him suffering from a severe contusion of the integu• meat under the left orbit, with great ex• travasation of blood and ecchymosts in the surrounding cellular tissue, winch was in a tumefied state. There was also considerable abrasion of the cuticle.— Judge—" You mean, I suppose, that the man bad a black eye ?" Witness—"yes," Judge—" Then why not say so at once ?" Mbcellaneonz.

Walker's California Vinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal pro parties of which ate extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, "What is the cause of the unparalleled success of VIItEGAB Brr rens? " Our answer is, that they remove the cause of disease, and the patient recov era his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator of the system. Never before in the history of the world has a medicine been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vomoan Dermas in hen tag the sick of every disepe man is heir to. They are a gentle Purgative as well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or In flammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Diseases. -•- • • - -• If men will enjoy good health, let them use Trstosu Burma as a medicine, and avoid the use of alcoholic stiranlante in every form. No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, proviled their bones are not do struyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital orgnna wasted beyond repair, Grateful Thousands proclaim Vrarsoss Brrnms the most wonderful Invigonuat that ever sustained tho sinking aptein.

Colorado, lira son, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, J arn es, and many others, with their vast tributaries, throughout our entire country during the Summer and Au tumn, and remarkably so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Ds. J. Wararsn's Vrixosn Btarx,as, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viscid matter with which the bolels are loaded, at the same time stimulaldng the secretions of the liver, and general* restor ing the healthy functions of the digestive organs.
