Things That I Have Seen.
I have seen a farmer build a house so
large, that the sheriff turned him oat of
doors.
1 have seen a young man sell a good
farm, turn merchantand die in an insane
asylum.
I have seen a farmer travel about so
much, that there was nothing at home
worth looking after.
I have seen a rich man's son begin
where his father left off, and end where
his father began pennyless.
I have seen a young girl marry a young
man of dissolute habits, and repent of it
as long as she lived.
I have seen the extravagance and folly
of children, bring their parents to poverty
and want, and themselves into disgrace.
I have seen a prudent, industrious wife,
retrieve the fortunes of a family, when
her husband pulled at the other end of
the rope.
I have seen a young man who despised
the counsel of the wise and advice of the
good, end his career in provertj and
wretchedness.
I have seen a man spend more in folly
than would support his family in comfort
and independence.
I have seen a man depart from the
truth, when candor and veracity would
have served aim a much better purpose.
I have seen a man engage in a lawsuit
about a trifling affair that cost him more
in the end, than would have roofed all
the buildings on his farm.
A Western paper contains the follow
ing advertisement: "Wants a situation, a
practical printer, who ia competent to take
charge of any department in aprinting and
publishing house. Would accept a pro
fession in any of the academies. Has no
objection to teaching ornamental painting
and penmanship, geometry, trigonometry,
and many other sciences. Is particularly
suited to act as pastor to a small evangel
eal or local preacher. He would have no
objection to from a select class of inter
esting young ladies to instruct in the
branches. To a dentist or a chiropodist
he would be invaluable, as he can do al
most anything. Would cheerfully accept
a position as bass or tenor singer in a
choir. Would board with a family, if
pious. For further particulars inquire at
Brown's Saloon.
An exchange in speaking of absent
mindedness, tells a remarkably tough
story. Of a bachelor friend it says : "He
is in the habit, when he comes to his
room in the evening, of putting his tea
kettle on the stove and himself Ivine
down on the lounge and taking a snooze
until the kettle begins to sing, when he
would get up and make his tea. The
other evening, being a little prostrated on
account of old Simpkinss' daughter 'cut-
4 - w
ting' him on the street, he put the kettle
on the lounge and got upon the stove

himself, and never discovered bis mis
take until he lrfan to $ivg.

A traveler was boasting of tho luxury
off arriving at niirht after a hard dav's
journey, to partake of tl0 enjoyment of a

"Pray, sir, what is the peculiar luxury
of a lift leg?"
"Sjr, to conceive its luxury, you mtjst

that yoq have no light to it."
What's The Matter With That Nose.
Snyder kept a beer saloon some years
ego "over the Rhine." Snyder was a pon
derous lenton, of every irascible temper,
sudden and quick ia quarrel Get mad
in a minute. Nevertheless his saloon was
a great resort for the boys partly be
cause of the excellence of his beer, and
partly because they liked to chafe "old
Snyder" as they called him ; for althrough
his bark was terrific, experience had
had taught them that he wouldn't bite.
One day Snyder was missing, and it
was explained by his "frau," who "jerked
the beer" that day, that he had "gone
out fishing mit tcr boys." The nexi day
one of the boys who was particularly
found of roasting old Snyder, dropped in
to get a glass of beer, and discovered
Snyder's nose, which was a big one at any
time, swollen and blistered by the sun,
until it looked like a dead ripe tomato.
"Why, bnyder, what s the matter with
your nose 7" said the seller.
"I been out fishing imt dcr boys, re
plied Snyder, laying his finger tenderly
against his proboscis, "de sun it pese hot
like ash der tifel, unt I purns my nose.j
Nice nose, dont it?" And Snyder viewed
it with a look of comical sadness in the
little mirror back of his bar. It entered
at once into the head of the mischievous
fellow in front of the bar to play a joke
upon Snyder, so he went out and called
half a dozen of his comrades, with whom
he arranged that they should drop in at
the saloon one after'another and ask Kny-
dcr what's the matter with that nose n
see how Ions he would stand it. The
man who put the job went in first with a
companion, and seating themselves at a
table called for beer, bnyder brought it
to them, and the new comer exclaimed as
he saw him: "Snyder what's the matter
with your nose ?"
"I yust dell you friend here I poen out
fishing mit ter boys, unt de sun he burnt
'em zwi lager den cents all right."
Another boy rushes m. "Hallo, boys,
your'r ahead of me this time," sposo I'm
in though. Here, Snyder, bring me a
glass ot lager and a pret (appears to
oatch a sudden glimpse of bnyder s nose,
looks wonderingly a moment, and then
bursts out laughing) ha ! ha 1 ha ! Why,
Snyder, ha-ha ! whats the matter with
that nose ?"
Snyder, of course, can't see any fun in
having a burnt nose, or having it laugh
ed at, and he says, in a tone sternly em
phatic :
'I've been out fishin mit der poys unt
de sun yust so hot like ash der tifel, unt
I purnt my nose; dat ish all right,"
Another tormenter comes in, insists
on "setting 'cm up" for the whole house.
"Snyder," Eays he, "fill up the boys glas
ses and take a drink yourself ho ! ho !
ho ! ha ! ha ! ha ! Snyder, what's the mat
ter with that nose V
Snyder's brow darkens with wrath by
this time, and his voice grows deeper and
sterner "I peen out fishin mit ter poys
on der Ieetle Miami. The sun pese hot
like as hail, unt I burn my bugle. Now,
dat is more vot I don't got to say : Vot
gindof pesens ? That is all right: I purn my
own nose, don't it ?"
"Burn your nose burn all the hair off
your head for what I care ; you needn't
get mad about it.
It was evident that Snyder wouldn't
stand more than one more tweak at that
nose, for he was tramping about behind
his bar and growling like an xasperatcd old
bear in his cage. Another of his tormen-
ters walked in. borne one sings out to
him, "Have a glass of beer, Billy?"
"Don't carcaboutany beer," says Billy,
"but Snyder, you may give me one of your
best cigars lla-a a ! ha ! ha ! ho ! ho ! he!
he! ha ha-ha! Why why, Snyder,
what's the matter with that nose ?"
Snyder was absolutely fearful to behold
by that time, his face was purple with
rage,all except his nose, which glowed
like a ball of fire. Leaning his pounder
ous figure far over the bar, and raising
his arms aloft to emphasize his word with
it, he fairly roared :
"I've peen out fishin mit ter boys. The
sun it pese hot like as hail tamnation. I
purnt my nose: Now you no like dose
nose, you yust take dasc nose unt wr-wr-
wr-wnng your tarn American
noger
wit
em ! That s the kind of man vot I am I"
And Snyder was right.
DR. FRANKLINS TOAST.
Long after the victories of Washington
over the French and Knglish had made
his name familliar to all Europe, Dr.
Franklin chanced to dine with the Eng
lish and French Ambassadors, when as
nearly as the precise words can be recol
lected, thefollowing tosts were drunk:
England The Sun, whose bright
beams enlighten and fruetify the remotest
corners of the earth.
The French Ambassador filled with na
tional pride, and being too polite to dis
pute the previous toast, drank the follow
inz:
France The Moon, hose mild, steady
and cheering rays are the delight of all
BatiouB, consoling them in darkness
beautiful!.
Dr. Franklin then roe, and, with his
usual dignified simplicity, said :
Qoorga Washington Tho Joshua who
commanded the Sun and Moon to stand
EjJ, ?)d they obeyed him,
Josh Biliingg was not teq miles out of
tbe way when he flung this off "Men
who have a great deal to do with hosses

Interesting from Alaska.
A letter dated St. Paul's Harbor, Rod-
rack s Island for an officer of the U. S. re
venue steamer Wyanada, says : We ex
amined, on our way to this place, all the
harbors of note on the cosat: have found
several places where coal could be mined
at a profit on a small capital. In fact
this country is full of coal, but a great
deal of it of an inferior quality the on
ly good feature that I have seen so far in
Alaska. Upon the whole, I think the
Government has an elephant is this seven
million purchase.
The Indians who inhabit this country
arc a most indolent race, particularly the
southern tribes; but as we advance to the
northward and westward their dispositions
appear to cnange, owing no douot, to
their intercourse with the Russians, as
many of them have been converted to the
Catholic faith. Far as we have gone the
natives seem to be delighted by the
change of Government ; but I fear it will
do them no good, as the traders are in
troducing "rum" among them, which has
proved a curse to all men. During the
winter months the natives are employed
trapping the fur animals, which abound
in this country.
Iho natives live id a most miserable
manner, their principal food belong whale
meat, Beat, and salmon ; their houses are
filthy, and they are filthy in person ; their
clothing consist principally of furs of the
poorest quality as they sell all of the best
skins to the trades. In find but very
few old persons among them, most of them
dying uidcr forty, principally with con
sumption. It is constantly raining
during tie summer mouths, and snowing
during the winter.
At this place, on an island in the har
bor ice is collected to supply the San
Fiancisco and Chiua markets, the only
business that pays in these regions. The
weather, during the summer months, is
anything but pleasant, raining most of
the time, but very little wind ; during
the winter months it is very cold, and
the winds are very severe. I am told by
parties living here it is hardly safe for a
person to venture out during a gale.
We are now awaiting the arrival of our
coal, when we will proceed westward to
Ounnalaska, Bristol Bay, Northern Sound,
and through Behring Straits to the most
northern part of our possessions in the
Arctic Ocean. We are in hopes of get
ting South before the winter sets in, as it
is fearful to think of spending a winter
so near the north pole.
Remedies for Poisons.
Cases of poisoning often occur in which
life might be saved, and hours of agony
averted, if we only knew what to do in
season. If a poison burns the throat and
acts violnehtly, uopn the stomach swallow
halfapintof sweet oil, or melted butter
or lard and, within five minutes, take half
apintof warm water in which has been
stirred a teaspoon ful of ground mustard
and salt. The oil arrests the action of the
poison, and the mustard, and salt causes
vomiting. If the poison swallowed does
not burn the throat and act with instant
violence, but causes sickness stupor or
f&intness, swallow the white of three eggs;
alio a quantity of the strongest coffee it
is possible to make, and a few minutes
take the warm water and mustard and
salt as before mentioned. An eminent
physician says that with prompt use of
oil, and white of eggs and strong coffee,
and the emetio as above directed, the fa
tal result of any poison likely to fall in
the way of man or child, may be always
averted. These remedies are, in them
selves, harmless, and might all be taken
into the stomach at once, in any quaniity
without damage to the system ; and they
are things that we always have at hand.
But while using these things don't fail
to send for a physician. And above all,
and first of all, don't have any poison
around.
A Plain-spoken Western preacher
de-
livercd the following from his desk :
"I would announce to the congregation
that, probably by mistake, there was left
at this meeting house, this morning, a
small cotton umbrella much damaged by
time and wera, and exceeding pale in col
or, in place of which was taken a large
silk umbrella, and of great beauty.
Blunders of this kind, brethercn and
sisters, are gettiug a little too common.
A youngster once happenced to be
playing in a room where his mother and
a lady visitor were conversing. Another
friend called in the meantime, and after
she had left, the two commenced to dis
cuss her peculiarities very freely. Willie
was apparently busy with his toys ; but
after a while, looking up shrewdly he said
to the visitor.
"Mrs Butler, that's the way mamma
will talk about you whew you go away.
"What can I give you for a keepsake,
my dearest John ?" sobbed out a sentimen
tal girl to bcr ecrapegrace lover about to
join his ship.
"Give, my angel I" cried jack, in some
confusion. "Ilem-why-why, you'vo not
got such a thing as five dollar bill, I sup
pose, about you !"

Two Sharpers.
A noted sportsman, taking dinner at
one of our clubs, exhibited a diamond
ring of great beauty and apparent value
on his finger. A gentleman present had
a great passion for diamonds. After din
ner, thj parties met in the cofBce, After
much bantering the owner consented to
barter the ring for the sum of six hund
red dollars. As the buyer left the room,
a suppressed titteriug struck his ear. He
concladed that tho former owner had sold
both the ring and the purchaser. He
said bothing, but called the next day up
on a 'jeweler, where he learned that the
diamond was paste, and the ring was
worth about twenty-five dollars. lie ex
amined some real diamonds, aud found
one closely rcscmbliuz the paste in his
n ring. He hired the diamond for a
few days, pledged twelve hundred dollars,
the price of it, aud gave a hundred dot-
ars for its uso. He went to another
jeweler, had the pa3te removed, and the
real diamond set. His chums, knowing
now he had been imposed upon, impatient-
y waited for his appearanec the next night.
To their astonishment they found him in
high glee. He flourished his ring, boast
ed of his bargain, and said if any gentle
men present had a twelve hundred dol-
ar ring to sell for six hundred dollars,
he knew of a purchaser. When he was
told that the ring was patc, and that he
had been cheated, he laushted at their
oily. Bets were freely offered that the
ring did not contain a real diamond, iwo
men bet $1,000 each. Two $500. All
were taken. Umpires were chosen, ine
money and tbe ring were put into their
hand. They went to a first-class jewel
er, who applied all the tests, and who
said the stone was worth without the set
ting, $1,200. The buyer put the S3,000
which he had won quietly in lm pocket.
He carried the diamoncd back and recall
ed his $1,200, and with his paste ring on
his finger went to hi3 club, lhe man
who sold the ring was waiting for him.
He wanted to get tho ring back ; he at
tempted to turn the whole thins into a
joke. He sold the ring, he said for fun.
He never wore false jewels. He could
tell a real diamond anywhere by its pe
culiar light. He would not bo so mean
as to cheat an old friend. He knew his
friend would let him have the ring again.
But his friend was stubborn said that
the seller thought it was paste, and in
tended to defraud him. At length, on
the payment of 7UU, the ring was re
stored. All parties came to the conclu
sion, i when the whole affairs came out,
that when diamond cuts diamond again
some one less sharp will bo selected.
Matthew JIalc Smith,
Remarkable Petrifaction.
About six years ago Mr. AmosBrough
ton died in Wayne County, in this State,
and was buried there. After his death
his widovr and children moved to Bus
kirk's Budge, in this County, where they
now reside. A few days ago the family
of the deceased resolved to bring the re
mains of the father from Wayne County,
and have ihem deposited in a cemetery near
their present residence. In furtherance
of this purpose the grave was opened and
the coGn exposed, but all ordinary efforts
to lift it from its position proved ineffec
tual. The coSn lid was therefore re
moved, when it was found that the body
was in the most perfect state of petrifac
tion. It was covered with a dry mould,
which, when, removed, revealed a sur
face almost as white and pure as marble.
The body showed not the least particle of
decay. Every feature and lineament was
perfectly preserved, and when stood up
right it presented the appearance of a
finely, chiseled statue. When Mr.
Broughton died he weighed about 200
pounds, while the remains had increased
in weight by petrifaction, to S00 pounds.
Before the body was interred atBuskirk,
it was seen by the family, friends, and
many others there. It is the most per
fect and wonderful instance of petrifac
tion of human remains that has ever come
to our knowledge. Troy Press.
Boston boasts a preacher who does a
square piece of work once in a while.
He told his hearers the other day that
many person attended church "who might
as well not ; who would get mora good
from a stroll in the fields or in some oth
er rational mode of improvement and en
joyment." Others he said went to church
simply from force of habit (it is not a bad
habit, at least), and the observance of a
time honored custom ; others to bo seen
and to sec ; others to be "superficially
enlivened by eloquence," and still others
to "pick flaws and mako trouble." We
thought Boston was more devout than
this description would lead us to believe.
In fact, it sounds exactly like a faithful
description ot a largo class 01 people in
this vicinity.

The Editor-A School Boy's Composlionv.
A Schoolboy's composition on "Th
Editor" ran as follows, in a school not far
from Cincinnati :
"The EditorThe editor is one of tho
happiest animals in the known world.
He ean go to the circus, afteruoon and
evening, without paying a cent ; also to
inquests and hangings. He has free tick
ets to picnics and strawberry festivals,
gets wedding cake sent him and some
times gets a licking, but net often, for ho
can take things back the next issue, which
he generally does. I never knew only,
ono editor to get lickt. His paper bust
ed that day aud he couldn't take nothing
back.
While other folks have to go to bed
early, the editor can sit up late every
night, and see all that's going on. The
boya think it's a big thing to hang out
till ten o'clock. When I am a man
mean to be ai editor, so I can stay out
nights. Then that will be bully. Tho
editor don't have to saw any wood or do any
chopping, except with his scissors. Rail
roads get np excursions for him, know
ing if they didn't he'd make 'em get up
and git. In politics he don't care much,
who be goes for if they are on his side.
If thee ain't he goes for 'cm anyhow, SO"
it amounts to nearly the same thing. .-
There is a great many people trying tc
be editors who caa't and some of them.
have been in the profession for years.
They can't see it though. If I was ask
ed if I had rather have a education or bct-
a circus rider, I would say, let mc gaancU
be au editor."
Boys did you ever think that a potato's'
skin was designed to protect the mealy
part from the action of the atmosphere,
mueh as your own skin protects the morct
sensitive parts from the air, and that you
ought to be about as careful not to break
the skin of a potato as you are to baric
your own knuckles or to bruise your
choice winter apples ? But who cares
for a potato skin ? And so they are
knocked and bruised, and barked, and
people wonder they don't come out mealy
and sound. AT. E. Farmer.
