I'JI ON THE JUBY. Up in ',ossburgt the other day, a lightmng-r', n&n drove up in front of a haudso stauding in the midst of tr. anj 8i,rubs. and spoke to Mr. SunrCT8 wj,f, wa8 8ittiug ou Vne steps in '.ront. He accosted SuiV-uers as the ner of the resideuce ani said : I see jou have uo lightuiug-ruda ou this house.' 'No,' said SuuVaers.' 'Are you oing to put any on V We)'.,' hadn't thought of it,' replied dinners. 'You ought to. A tall building like this is very much exposed. I'd like to run you up one of uiy rods ; twisted steel, glass fenders, nickel-plated tips everything com plete. May I put up one to show you ? I'll do the job cheap.' 'Certainly you may if you want to. I haveu't the slightest objection, said Suiu ners. During the noxt half hour the man had his ladders up and his assistants at work, and at the end of that time the job was done. He called Sumners out into the yard to admire it. He said to Sumners : Xow, that is all well enough, but if it was my house I'd have another rod up on the other side. There's nothing like being protected thoroughly.' That's true, said Sumners, 'it would be better.' 'I'll put up another, shall I V asked the man. 'Why, of course, if you think it's best,' aid Sumners. Accordingly the man went to woik again aud aooa had the rod in its place. That's a first-rate job,' he said to Sum ners. as ther both stood eveine it. 'I like such a man as you are. Big hearted libe tal. not afraid to put a dollar dowu for a srood thine. There's some pleasure in dea lin with you. I like you so much that I'd put a couple more rods on that house, out on the north end, and one on the south for almost nothin.' 'It would make things safer, I suppose,' said Sumners. Certainly it would. I'd better do it, hadn't I hey ?' 'Just as you think proper, 'said Sumners, So the man ran op two more rods, and then he came down again and said to Sum uers : 'There, that job is done. Now let's set tie up.' Do what ?' Why, that job's finished, and I'll take my money.' 'You .den't expect me to pay you, I hope ?' 'Of course I do. Didn't you tell me to put those rods ou your house ?' 'My honse f shouted Sumners. 'Thun der and lightning I I never ordered you to put these rods up. It would have been ri diculous : Why, man this is the court bouse, and I'm here waiting for the court to assemble. I'm on the jury. You seem ed to be anxious to rush out your rods.and as it was none of my business, I let you go on. Pay for it ! Come, now, that's pretty good.' The Blossburg people say that the man ner in winch that lightning-rod man tore around town and swore was fearful. But when begot his rods off the court-house he left permanently. He don't fancy the place. Health Insurance. A thin cadave rous looking German, about fifty years of are, entered the office of a health insurance company and inquired : 'Ish ter man in vat insures de beoblc's belts ?' The agent answered, 'I attend to that business.' 'Veil, I vants mine belts insured. Yot you sharge ?' 'Different prices,' answered the agent, 'from three to ten dollars a year, and you gel ten dollars a week iu case of sickness. 'Veil,' said Mynheer, 'I vants ten dollars vert' The agent inquired his state of health. 'Veil, I ish sick all de time.. I's shust out of bet two or tree hours a day, and de doctor say he can't do nosiu more goot for me.' 'If that's the state of your health,' returned the agent, 'we can't insure it We only insure per sons who are in good health.' At this Myuheer bristled up in great anger. 'You must tink I's a fooL Vot you tink I come pay you ten dollars for inshure my belt ven I vat veil !' Double Relationship. 'Hullo, bub ! whose horse is that V Dad's,' was the laconic reply. Dad 1 What dad ?' Why, Uncle Geo. Hickman.' ' Uncle 1 I thought you said it was dad's? Is your dad your unci?' 'Wal, I don't know how it is, kersactly. But he tool my dad ; and wheu be married my Aunt Sally for his second wife wal, he must be my uncle now,Bomehow,don't be ?' When the cock and the fox went on board the ark they had no fear of bagg age mashers ; for one had a comb and the other bad a brush, and tliai was all the lug gage they had between them. A LADY had her dress trimmed with bu gles before going to a balL Her little daughter wanted to know if tho bugles would blow when she danced. Oh, no,' said the mother, 'papa will do that when he sees the bill.' A doctor called on a cholera patient, a German. Prescribed. Next day he found patient well. 'Well,' said doctor, 'the me dicine brought you out!" 'No, sir; I didnt take it' 'What did you take ?' 4I ate sour-kraut and turnip sauce.' So the doctor wrote in his memorandum, 'Sauer kraut and turnip sauce good for cholera.' Next week another call, Irishman this time. Prescribed sauerkraut and turnips. Next day called ; found the Irishman dead. So he wrote opposite the old memorandum, 'Sauerkraut and turnip good for a Dutch man, but death to an Irishman.' A distinguished member of the Ken tucky Legislature' is reported in the Lou isville Commercial as having candidly 'ac knowledged the corn.' Reappearing, after an absence from his seat of three days, he had "beeu sick.' 'What's been the matter with you?' be was asked. 'Well, some folks call it nervous chills; others pro nounce it a kind of affection of the heart ; but to be candid, I call it a plain case of old fashioned drunk.' A drunken Irishman was found by bis friends, the other night, lying in the snow, with his heels placed upon the fence, warm ing bs toes by the light of the moon. He was muttering : "What a cold fire you have got, Biddy darliut; heve on some car rysane, or my futs will fraze." One of the readiest replies we have beard lately was made by an Irish laborer. A gentleman traveling on horseback "down East" came upon an Irishman who was K fencing in a most barren and desolate piece of land. 'What are you fencing in that lot for, Pat ?" said be ; "a herd of cattle would starve to death on that land." "And sure, ye re honor, wasnt I fencin' it in to kape the poor bastes out av it ?" An agricultural paper recommends a quart of brandy to cure the staggers. We have thought brandy was the cause of staggers.

The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect' ed Solution of the Protoxide of Iron, is to combined as to havo the character of an aliment, as easily digested and assimilated with the blood as the simplest food. It increases thequantitjf of Nature's Own Vitalizing Agent, Iron in the blood, ana cures "a thousand ills," simply by Toning up, Invigorating and Vitalizing the System. The en riched atul vitalized blood per meates every part of the body, repairing damages and waste, searching out morbid secre tions, and leaving nothing for disease to feed upon. This is the secret of tlie won derful success of this remedy in curing Dyspepsia, Liver Com plaint, Dropsy, Chronic Diar rhoea, Dolls, Nervous Affections, Chills and Fevers, Humors, Tjoss of Constitutional Vigor, Diseases of tho Kidneys and Bladder, Female Complaints, and all diseases originating in a bad state of the blood, or ac companied by debility or a lout state of the system. Being free from Alcohol, in any form, its energizing effects are not foU lowed by corresponding reac tion, but are permanent, infu sing strength, vigor, and neuf life into all parts of the system, and building up an Iron Con stitution. Thousands have been clianged by the use of this remedy, from weak, sickly, suffering crea tures, to strong, healthy, and happy men and women t and invalids cannot reasonably hes itate to give it a trial.

Impotency, Loss of Power, Immediately Cured and full Viiror Restored. This Distressing Affection which renders Life miserable and marriage impossible is the penalty paid by the victims of improper indulgences. Young" persons are too apt to commit excesses from not being aware of the dreadful conseqenCes that may ensue. Now, who that understands the subject will pretend to deny that the power of procreation is lost sooner by those falling into Improper habits man oy mc pruneni i oesiucs being deprived the pleasures of healthy offspring, the most serious and destructive symptoms to both bodv and mind arise.

Persons ruined in health by unlearned preteu ders who keep them trifliue month after month, taking poisonous and injurious compounds, should apply immediately. DR. JOHNSTON, Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon don. Graduated from one of the most eminent Colleges in the United States, and the greater part of whose lie nas ueen spent in tue uospiuus of London, Pris, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, has effected some of the most astonishing cures that were ever known : many troubled with ring ing in the head and ears when asleep, great nervousness, being alarmed at sudden sounds, bash fulness, with frequent blushing, attended sometimes with derangement of tuiud, were cured immediatelv. TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE. Dr. J. addresses all those who have injurrd themselves by improper indulgence and solitary habits, which ruin both body aud mind, unfitting them for either business, study, society or mar riage. These are some of tbe sad and melancholy effects produced by early habits of youth, vix : Weakness of the Back and Limbs, Pains in tha Back and Head, Dimness of Sight, Loss of Mus cular Power, Palpitatiou of the Heart, Dyspepsy, Nervoin Irritability, Derangement of Digestive Functions, General Debility, fciymptoms ot Con cumptiou, Ac. MestaM.T The Tearful effects ou the mind are much to be dreaded Loss of Memory, Con fusion of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil Forebodings. Avc-rsiuu to Society, tielf-Distrust, Love of Solitude, Timidity, .Vc, arc some of the evils produced. TltOl'SASWS of persons of all ages can now judge what is the cause of their decliuiug health, losing their vigor, becoming, weaic, paie, nervous aud emaciated, having a singul.r appearance about tbe eyes, cough aud symptoms of consump tion. YOUNG MEN Who have injured th mselves by a certain prac tice indulged in when alone, a liaiiil irequeutiy learned from evil companions, or at school, the effects of which are nightly felt, even wueu asleep, and if not cured, reuders marriage imios- sible, and destroys bolu mind ana uouy, snouia apply immediately. What a pity that a young man, the hnjicof his countrv. the darling ef his parents, should be snatchci from all prospects and enjoymeuts of life, by the consequence or deviating rrom mc path of nature and indulging In a certain secret habit. Such persons mcst before contemplating MARRIAGE, reflect that a sound mind and body are the most necessary requisites to promote connubial happi ness. Indeed without these, the journey inrougn life becomes a weary pilgrimage ; the prospect hourly darkens to the view ; the mind becomes shadowed with despair aud tilled with the melan choly reflection, that the happiuusj of auother becomes blighted with our own. a CERTAIN DISEASE. When the misguided aud imprudent votary of pleasure liuds that he has imbibed the seeds of this painTul disease, it too often happens mat au ill-timed sense of shame, or dread f discovery, deters him from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him, delaying till the constitutional symptoms of this hurrid disease make their appearauce, such as ulcerated sore throat, diseased nose, uoctural pains in the bead aud limbs, dimness of sight, deafness, nodes on the shiu bones aud arms, blotches ou the head, face aud extremities, pro gressing with frightful rapidity, till at last the palate of the mouth or the boues of the nose fall iu, aud the victim of this awful disease becomes a horrid object of commiseration, till death puts a riod to his dreadful suffering, by sending him to " that Undiscovered Country from whence no traveller returns." It is a melancholy fact that thousands 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, aud iucapable of curing, keep the unhappy sutlcrcr mouth after month taking their noxious or ! jurious compounds, and iustead of being restore! Ui a renewal of Life Vigor and Hippiness, in des pair leave him with ruined Health to sigh over his galling disappointment. To such, therefore, Dr. Joiinst! pledges hiiu self to preserve the most Inviolable Secrecy, aim from bis extensive practice and observations in the great Hospitals r Europe, and the tirst ic this country, vie : England, France, Philadelphia aud elsewhere, is enabled to offer the most cer tain, speedy and effectual remedy iu the world for all diseases of imprudence.

And every leaf that's gently shook, By evening breeze or morning showers, God bless them all ! each tears a gem In Nature's gorgeous diadem. The orchard that in early spring Blush rich in fragrant flowers, And with each antumu surely bring Their wreath of fruits in golden showers Like pomegranate on Aaron's rod, A miracle from Nature's God.

Unvexed by toil and strife for gain, He turns the fertile mould ; Then scatters on the golden grain, And reaps reward a hundred fold ; fie dwells where grace and beauty charm, For God hath blest his home and farm. How to Cube Split Hoof. I had a horse that had both hoofs split from top to bottom. He could not walk without his feet spreading apart. I kept him for three months on straw one foot deep in the sta ble, but all did no good. At last I went to the blacksmith shopand had heavy shoes made, which spread wide at the heels. To these heavy shoes there was welded, at the outside of each heel, a piece made of shoe nail iron. These pieces were made to fit well around the foot an inch below the hair. I let the pieces come together within half an inch each, and turned up about three fourths of an inch. In the turned up part a hole was made to receive a bolt an inch long, with a square head and. screw and nut on the other end. On nailing the shoe on and putting the bolt in and screw ing on the nut the foot was brought to gether. In this way I was enabled to work him every day if I wished. Previoua to this my horse had not walked one mile in three months. Next day after I bad the shoes put on I drove him .in a carriage twenty miles, and I have used him right along. Cor. Cincinnati Gazette. Sootfor Cabbage Fleas. As soon as people begin to work in the garden we shall begin to hear complaints of the injury being done by cabbage and turnip fleas. In time let ns say that a dusting of the plants with soot is not only an excellent preventive of the ravages of these insects, but it also a first-rate method of stimulating growth. Now, when you have occasion to clean out your chimneys, stove pipes or staves, where soot accumulates more or less, save all you can and put. it aside in some dry place for a time of need. Put all your fine, dust-like ashes in with the soot, and in spring sift out all tho lumps adding an equal quantity of dry earth or sand to the pure article. To every barrel of this compound add one pound of powdered sul phur, throughly mixing it through the heap. Keep dry and under cover until wanted for use. This mixture will also be found excellent for dusting over melon and cucumber vines as well as upon cabbage and tomato plants. Excltange. Frosted Feet Remedy. It is recom mended to paint the feet a few nights with tincture of iodine. Another remedy, said to be sure, is : Take mutton suet and rosin, equal parts, stew together and anoint the feet before going to bed. My feet were frosted in ISoS, while steamboating on the Upper Mississippi river. I cured them in the course of a few nights with little pain. Chickes-Raisixo and Eggs. Speak ing about eggs, a friend who has had many years experience in chicken-raising tells us some thiflxs which all may not know. We now that he has always plenty of eggs at this seasen of the year, while his neighbors, who have larger flocks, get none or very few. His explanation refers not to the feed or care of them, but the age ofHhe chickens. He ''sets" half a dozen hens the last week in June to the middle of July, and from these he selects his pullets for winter layers. He Bays many of them commence laying by the middle of January, but all as early as October ; while Spring chickens scarcely ever lay after the first of January until warm weather. He also says that July chickens will lay from four to six dozen more eggs during the year than those hatched in March. Rising Bread. Here is a recipe for making bread which answers a question asked not long since by a correspondent of the Rural New Yorker: Put three teacufs of water, as warm as you can bear your fiDger in a two quart cup or bowl, and and three-fourths of a teaspoonful of salt stir in flour enough to make quite a stifT batter ; this is for the rising, or cmplyings, as some call it. Set the bowl, closely covered, in a kettle, in warm water, as "warm as you can bear your finger in," and keep it as near this temperature as possible. Xotice the time when you "set" your rising ; in three hours stir in two tablespoonfuls of flour, put it back, and in five and one-half hours from the time of setting, it will be within one inch of the top of your bowL It is then light enough, and will make up eight quarts of flour ; make a sponge in the centre of your flour with one quart of water of the same temperature as rising, stir tho rising into it, cover over with a little dry flour, and put it where it will keep very warm, and not scald ; iu three-fourths of an hour mix this into stiff dough ; if water is used be sure it is very warm, and do not work as much as yeast bread ; make the loaves a little larger and keep it warm for another third-quarters of an hour ; it will then be ready to bake. While rising this last time have your oven heating ; it needs a better oven than yeast bread. If these rules are followed, you will havebread as white as suow with a light brown crust, deliciously sweet and tender. Boiled Asparagus. To each half a gallon of water allow one heaped table- spoonful of salt. Asparagus should be dressed as soon as possible after it is cut, although it may be kept for a day or two by putting the stalks into cold water ; yet to be good, like every other vegetable, it cannot be cooked too fresh. Scrape the white part of the stems, beginning from the head, and throw them into cold water ; then tie them into bundles of about twenty each, keeping the heads all one way, and cut the stalks evenly, that they may all be the same length ; put them into boiling water, with salt in the above proportion ; keep them boiling quickly until tender, with tho saucepan uncovered. When the asparagus is done ,dish it upon toast, which should be dipped in the water it was cooked in and leave the white ends outward -each way, with the points meeting in the middle. Serve with a tureen of melted butter.
