Mrs. Skinner os Woman's Rights.
Slisi President I am here to-day for the
purpose of discussing woman's rights.
As a success, mau is a failure, aud I
Mess my stars that my mother was a wo
man. I not only maintain these principles, but
maintain a shiftless husband. besides.
They say man was created firsL Sposiu'
he was? Ain't flirt experiments always
failures?
The only decent thing about him was a
rib, and that weut to making something
U;tter.
And theu- they throw it into our face
about Eve taking an apple.
I'll bet five dollars that Adam boosted
her up the tree, and only give her the
core.
Aud what did he do when lie was found
out?
True to his masculine instinct, he sneak
ed behind Eve's Grecian Bend, aud said :
" 'Twan't me 'twas her!" And woman
has to father everything mean since and
mother it, too!
What we want is the ballot; and the bal
lot we are bound to have, if we let down
our back hair and swim in a sea of sau
quinary. Tut up your little daughters to love aud
caress the ballot, and when they are old
and scrawney they will not depart from it.
Teach them that man occupies no posi
tion that woman cannot fill, even to a pair
of pants.
Teach them that without the ballot wo
man is simply a cooking aud washing ma
chine; that with it Mie can just rule her
little roost
Give 'era little ballots to play with.
We have plenty of ballet-girls, but what
we want is ballot women.
The male creature now sitting on this
platform, whom the law compels nie to
call husband, says I have got ballot on the
brain.
He says I sleep with a ballot under my
pillow, and dream that I am commander-in-chief
of a large army of ballots, aud am
cleaning out everything that look liku the
male yex, while the band plays. "Sf the
conquering hero cometh 1"
Such remarks show that mau was created
lower thau the beast of the sea, the carrion
of the air, or the rhinoceros upon the prai
rie. "How do you like the clam soug?" ask
ed an old lady of her daughter as they
stepped into the street after a popular con
cert. "Clam otig!'" exclaimed the young
lady in astonishmeut. "why what do you
refer to. mother?"' "Why, the first song
she sang." "Oh, you mean 'Shells of the
Ocean,' don't you, mother?" "Well, yes,"
.aid the old lady, "I do think that was it;
it was eomethiug about clams, anyhow,
and you know I do like them so well."
As a fashionable young lady, fresh from
boarding school, came to her honest fath
er's breakfast table, instead of speaking
English and saying "Good morning," she
spoke French, and Kiid, "7ViVi'r." "Of
course the bone's yours, if you say so,"
responded the practical man, as lie handed
her ihe ossified portion of the beefsteak.

What relation is a loaf of bread to a lo

bread is a necccssity and a locomalive an

Ad Oliioan sprinkled corumeal on the

Epitaph for the Siamese Twins: "They

Mr.. Sit itu says her husband is like a
tallow candle, because he always will
smoke when he is going out.
A wag having married a girl named
Church, says he has experienced more ha;
piness since he joined the Church than he
ever did before.
The difference in dispositions was
shown in a recent meetiug at a railroad de
pot. Two sisters met after a long absence.
"O, my dear sister." gushingly exclaimed
one, preparing to throw herself into the
arms of her relation. "You've been eat

It was an Irish coroner, who, when ask
ed how he accounted for an extraordinary
mortality in Limerick, replied sadly: "I
cannot tell. There are people dying this
year that never died before."
"What do you feed your pigs?" asked a
neighbor of a Manayunker, who bought
such an animal last November. "Corn,"
ho said. "Do you feed it in the tar?"
"Do you think I am a fool?" said the Man
ayunker, sarcastically.
Two Irishmen were in prison one for
stealing a cow and the other for stealing a
watch. "Hallo, Mike, and what o'clock
is it?" said the cow-stcaler to tlic other:
An' sure, Pat, I haven't my time piece
handy, but think it is about milking time."
Said an Irish justice to an obstreporous
prisoner on trial, "We want nothing but
silence, and but little of that"
WnAT is the difference between a far

Colleges in the United States, and the greater
i.art of whose ife has been spent iu the hosiiitais

soiiietiiues with derangement of mind, were cured
iliitneiliatelv.
TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd
themselves by Improper indulgence and solitary
habits, which ruin both body and mind, unfitting
them l-.ir either business, study, society or mar
riage. 1 iir-r. ar- -ome of Ihe sad and melancholy
effects produced by early habits ot youth, viz:
Weakness of the Hack and Limbs, Pains in the

Who 1:..M' injured th inselves by a certain prac
tice iuiiiilueu in when alone, a habit frequently
learned !ioin evil companions, or at school, the
illeits ,.f which are nightly felt, even wheu
asleep, aiid if not cured, renders marriage impos
sible, and dest roys hoi min t and body, should
apply immediately.
What a pity that a young mau, the hope of his
country, the darling f his parent, should be
Miatch"c frcin all prospects and enjoyments of
life, by the consequence of deviating from the
path oV nature and indulging in a certain secret
habit. Mich persons mi st before contemplating
MARRIAGE,
reflect that a souud mind and body are. the most
necessary requisites to promote connubial happi
ness. Indeed w ithout these, the journey through
life becomes a weary pilgrimage; the prospect
hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes
shadowed with despair aud tilled with the melan
choly reflect ion, that the happim-- of another
becomes blighted with our own.
a CERTAIN DISEASE.
When the misguided and imprudent votary of
pleasure linds that he has imbibed the seeds of
this painful disease, it too often happens that au
ill-timed sense of shame, or dread if discovery,
deters him fiom applying to those who, from
education and respectability, cau alone befriend
him, delaying till Ihe constitutional symptoms ol
this hrriil disease make their appearance, such
as ulcerated sore thioat. diseased nose, mx-tnral
pains ill the head and limbs, diinur of sight,
deafne-i. nodes on the shin bones ami anus,
blotches on the head, face and extremities, pro
gressing Willi frightful rapidity, till at last the
palate of the mouth or the bones of the nose fall
in, and the vietim of this awful disease becoin.;s
a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts
a jierlod to his dreadful suffering, by sending
him to "that I lidise.ivered Country from whence
no traveller returns.''
It is a melancholy fact that thou-.mds DIE
victims to this terrible disease, through falling
into the hands of Ignorant or unskillful PRE
TENDERS, who, by the use of that deadly Poi
son. Mercury, Ac, destroy the constitution, and
incapable of curing, keep the unhappy sufferer
iM.nth aft r month taking their noxious or tu
ji.rioiis compounds, and instead of being restored
Ui a renewal of Life Vigor and Happiness, iu des
pair ieave him ith ruined II. aith to sigh ever
his galling disappointment.
To such, therefore. Dr. Johnston pledges him
self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, arfll
from his extensive practice aud observations in
the great Hospitals of Europe, and the first in
this country, viz: England, Frauce, Philadelphia
and elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer
tain, speedy and tlleetu il remedy in the world
for all diseases of imprudence.

Two Crops at Oxce. There is always
some new idea coming up in the cultiva
tion of the soil, originating frequently by
accident, and quite often by thosa who
Lave not made the work of the farm or
garden the study of their lives. A case of
this kind came under my observation last
week, wherein a gentleman living in the
upper part of New York Island, and culti
vating but a small garden patch behind his
house, discovered that to utilize his small
space he could sow his "Little Gem" peas,
and carrots, beets, or parsnips at the same
time in fact, in the same row, two feet
apart. The peas, of course, came up bold
ly, seemingly leaving the more tardy roots
seed so far behind that they would be no
more seen. Not so, however, for soon as
the peas were matured for use, clustering
among the stems came tbe feeble seedlings
of this second crop. The "straw" of the
pea crop was carefully removed on a cloudy
day, so as not to have the sun burn op the
then unshaded seedlings of the root crop.
A few days' exposure to sun and air, and
they were thinned out to the usual distance
of three or four inches, and by fall the
crops of carrots, beets or parsnips were just
as good as if they had the space entirely
to themselves, or that the first crop of peas
had not been taken. Market gardeners,
who usually occupy valuable land, are
obliged to resort to every possible expe
dient to keep the laud earning something
all the time, and they make it produce two
and often three crops in a year. Peter
Jlcndcrson, in Agriculturist.
Value of tiie Crow.--The very" mild
weather of December and early January in
this part of the country has been providen
tial to the crow. We have rarely seen so
many in the winter season as ' there has
been this year. Some of the fields" were so
thickly studded with their shining black
bodies, that the imagination might almost
liken them to pictures, of terrible battle
fields. Aud wc suppose some would almost as
soon hear tell of military euemies coming,
near them, as to have quartered ou them a
"field" of crows. At least this would
have been the feeling a few years ago,
though the prejudice against these birds is
fast dying away. If we look at them at
this season as they are industriously at
work, we must see that they are of the ut
most benefit. They eat largely of acorns
when they can get them, after that they
visit the old cornfields and make free with
any stray grain that may have been left
lying about. These resources at an end,
they continue on till spring-time at grubs
or worms or whatever of this nature they
can find near the surface.
It is not at all uncommon to see a thou
sand crows in one flock on a single-farm.
What an immense amount of insect ma
terial such an immense quantily must
pick up in a single day! They no doubt
raid on other birds1 eggs aud at some sea
sons do other damage. We are willing to
confess that he is at times a very bad thief;
but the morals of the whole feathered tribe
are none too good in this respect; and
while we recognize the immense benefit of
the crow at this season, let us charitably
ask of other birds to cast the first stone at
his excesses of deficiencies. Gennantotcn

Dwarf Pears. Dr. E. W. Sylvester,
of Wayne county, N. Y., read an essay
lately before the American Institute Far
mers' Club, on dwarf pears. He said
dwarf pear trees are specially valuable on
account of earliness in coming into bear
ing. With a proper selection of varieties,
the amateur can have a succession of fruit
for family use from the Doyenne d'Ete,
which ripens in July, to the Vicar of
Winkfield, which may be kept as late as
March, and all this on a small piece of
ground. He quoted the report ofWm.
Saunders of sixteen years' observation in
raising and selling dwarf pears in Wash
ington City market, wherein Mr. Saunders
claims that dwarf pears are less subject to
blight than standards, will average as much
moucy product per acre, cost no more for
cultivation, and less for pruning and pick
ing fruit, and promise to be as long lived.
Dr. Sylvester advised planting so that the
junction of pear and quince will be about
three inches below the surtace of the
ground.
Resolve to Plast Evergreens.
If any man, with any appreciation of what
is beautiful in his soul, will, as we did the

Relieving Choked Cattle. A cor
respondent of the London (Out;) Farmers7
Advocate says he makes the suffering ani
mal jump over a pair of bars, left up as

whip. He never fails to relieve a case of
choking by this means. Occasionally he

once is usually sufficient.
