J amorous Jpctclic Getting Kid of the Spirit. When spiritualism first made its apjxa- rance in the village of old deacon Isaacs, a wealthy man, who had stood by the church for nearly three score years, was exceedingly bitter against all believ ers in "the devil's work." as he called it, and denounced spiritualism in no very genile lanjruagc. Imagine the deacon's anger, then, when six month's alterwards he lound it had worked its way into his own family, and not only were his wife and daughters believers, but one of them was a medium, aud possessed full power to converse with the spirits, of those who had depaitcd to that 'bourne from which no traveller returns.' Deacon Isaacs was mad dreadfully mad but he had wit enough not to show U, and he bore the tauuts of the ungodly with a meek spirit. lie knew it would be use less to declare open war, for Mrs. Isaacs alone had always proved more than a match for him, and be was sure to be de feated. He roust circumvent the critter, as he expressed it, and to that eud he set himself to work. He was a man of sound judgment, aud his worldly extcrieuce of fifty years was not thrown away, i rom the day it first came to his knowledge that his wife and daughters were spiritualists he never spoke a word against nor did he ever allude to it, except in general terms, in his morning prayers ; but any one could see it troubled bim, for he was absent minded, his eyes wandered restlessly, aud his countenance looked care worn. The deacou witnessed one or two sittings at his house, and was satisfied that if he possessed a little more knowledge he could get rid of the aunoyauce. bo one morn ing he etartedjbr the city, determined to thoroughly investigate the subject betore lie returned. After visiting two of the most popular mediums, and paying his mouey, be returned home satisfied tliat he could pec through it. There was a silting at the deacon's house on the night he returned, and his daughter Mary the medium invited the deacon to take a seat at the table, which to her grati cation, was accepted. The spirits were in a good tune, and so exceedingly comma nicative that the deacon was induced to ask a few questions which were readily an swered, and his wife and daughters were in extacies at the thought that the father would yet be a believer, aud urged the dea con on in his inquiries. Has my wife always been true to her marriage vows ? a6ked the dcacen. To this question there was no raps in return, while Mrs. Isaacs sat transfixed with bolv horror that such a thought should enter ber husband's mind. How many years have passed since she was untrue ? Answered by single raps. Then came slowly and solemnly, one, three, four and no on uutil they reached twenty. How many who claim to be arc my chil dren r Again the spirit rapped one, two. Mrs. Isaacs looked dumbfounded. Mcrcy !' said Mary. Which are they, asked the deacon, who now seemed so intent on his subject, that he paid no attention to his companions. Mary Sarah, rapped the spirits the names of two daughters, the oldest of whom was under twenty. Mrs. Isaacs could stand it no longer. It's a lie! 1 didn't 1 It's a lie ! she shriek cd, using from the table; they are your children, deacon Isaacs, aud God knows it. But the spirits affirm differently, said the liieu they he I said his Wife. But if you balievc in them in everything else, w by not in this ? But I don't believe in them at all, it is all foolery. Xor I, shouted Mary. Nor I, added Sarah. Then, said the Deacon, while a smile il luminated his countenance, we will Oid them good-bye, and leave those things which God has wisely hidden from us to be revealed in bis time. Mrs. Isaacs was so glad that none of the neighbors were present ; but somehow the story got wind, and so fearful were the dames of N that they might be caught in some trap which the deacon had tct, that spiritualism was driven entirely from the village. The following Is an exact copy of an in dorsement made by a member of Congress on a claim, last week : "Thereby curtyfy that I am personally acquainted with the circumstances of this case and am satisfid that the services were rendered and moiiy expended as slated within and am satisfide that the claim is Just and right and I re spectfully recommeud the payment." ,JLJ..L TJL.LJ.IL-.. l J Drawing Screws. Few thiugs, says nn exchange, are more vexatious than ob stinate screws which refuse to move, much less to be drawn out ; and in the struggle agaiust screw driver power suffer the less of their beads, like conscientious martyrs rather then take a single half turn back ward from the course they have followed and from the position they have letn forced into. Like obstinate children, they must be coaxed, or rapped pretty hard on the head, according to circumstances ; in fact, whoever has a tight, obstinate screw to draw out,' must keep his temper down and his resolution up quite as much to the sticking- point as the screw does. It the screw is turned into iron, and not very rusty, it is only necessary to clear the head with the wedge of the driver, and let a few drops of oil jienetrate to the threads ; but, finding that excessive heal or rust has al most fixed the screws immutable, then heat, either by placing a piece of hot iron upon it, or directing the flame of the blow pipe upon the head, and, after applying a little oil, turn out gently ; but care must be taken not to let the tool slip so as to dam age the notch. If, however, the strew re fuses to come out, try to force it back with a biunt chisel, smartly but carefully tapped with a light hammer ; but if evidently nothing can dislodge the enemy, it is befet to cut the head away and drill out the screw. When an obstinate screw happens to be iu wood, meiely give it a few taps on the head ; but failing in that, heat it with a piece of hot iron, when it may be easily turned. An eloquent country editor thus de scribe a new organ : "The swell died away in a delicious suffocation, like ouc ingiuga sweet song under the hed-clothes. " Tennessee has taken another step for ward. The Supreme Court of that State has decided that marriages between whites and blacks are legal.

SCUD STAMP rOH CI1CULAH PARKER BRtfS WEST MERIDEN.CT. THE OLD, OLD IIOTIE. When I lonf for saiaUdtiuemorics, Like angel troops they come, If I fold my arms to ponder On the old, old home, Th heart has many passages Through which the feeling roam. But its middle aisle is sacred To the old, old home. Where Infancy was sheltered Like rose-buds from the blast, Where girlhood's brief elysiuia In joyousucss was passed ; To liial sweet spot forever As to some hallowed dome, Life's pilgrim bends her vision 'Tis her oid, old home. A father gat. how proudly, By that hearthstone's rays, And told his children stories Of his early manhood's days ; And one soft eye was beaming, From child to child 'twould roam ; Thus a mother counts her treasures, In the old, oid home. The birthday gifts and festivals, The blended vesper hymn (Some dear one who was swelling it Is with the Seraphim) The foud "good nights" at bed-time, - How quiet sleep would come, And fold ns'all together In the old, old home. Like a wreath c' scented flowers Close "intertwine each heart ; But time aud change in concert Have blown the wreath apart. But dear and sainted memories Like angels ever come, If I fold my arms and ponder On the old, old home. igrimltnral. Tomato Cm.TrRE.-iIr. J. Augasti Spice, of Harford county, has made a r port ou the profit realized by him from tl culture, last year, of a patch of tomato of about one sixth of aa acre in exten lie selected a saudy kam, 100 yards lot by eight ia width. This was plowed ear ia ilay and boned at the rate of 400 pouni to the acre, harrowed ia thoroughly. C the 20th of June the rows, five in numbe were marked out with a one-horse ploi and the hills, 100 to each row, prepared 1 putting ia each bone at the rate of 2 pounds to the acre and covering to t' depth of four inches. Plants of the tropl variety were obtained, and about the 24 of Jane a season was made and set oi Although the season was a dry one more watering was done, and only a ft plants four or five were lost. So raj was the growth only two cultivations cot be given them. Receipts Twenty-two bushels tomato 831 08 ; sixty-six gallons catsup at 75 cen 49 50 ; twenty-four gallons canned ton toes at 50 cents, 812 ; total $92 58. Mr. Spicer thinks be applied too mc bone for field culture, unless trellises w used to ripen the tomatoes on, which mines 13 tne oest mode, ine cost or c tureisnot given, but is not more tl other crops. Managing Hogs. Procure a tub barrel and put fifteen gallons of water i half bushel of wheat bran in the barn let it stand till fermentation takes pi? add one tablespoonful oi madder, teac ful of copperas, and six grains ot arser and slops as often as four times per day much as they will consume, but never f it to them unless it is thoroughly sour, the barrel of swill lowers fill up with wi or kitchen slaps, soap suds, etc., (which still better than water,) and add one i ef bran, and also tablespoonful of mad teacupful of copperas, and six grain? arsenic, once a week. About three wi before they are to be slaughtered put tl iu a smaller enclosure and give them much corn as they will consume will wasting it, and continue slopping, arse The corn will harden their fat. Give tf a warm, dry, bed, sheltered from the t ther, and keep them out of the cold mud as much as possible. Dry bedt and regularity in feeding are a safegi against most diseases the family of sv are beir to. I have managed hogs in way for a good many years past, and I always succeeded in having better j than most of my neighbors, and at cost. Cor. Rural Messenger. Pood for Cows. The Practical Far savs : It is well settled in the opinioi all our best dairymen that bran greatly motes the milk secretions in cows, and fed almost universally. About eqt mixed with corn meal is the usual pro tion. This mixture seems to promote 1 quantity and quality of milk. Fromse sources we hear that buckwheat bran great producer of milk, and it is being considerably among our Chester coi dairymen in about the same proportio the other. Thos. Gawthrop, near 1 Grove, Chester county, also by repe trials with his own cows has fully sad himself that they do as well with corn cob meal and bran. The amount of a ment in corn cobs is so very small that result will have to be explained on tbe position of the ground cob acting to mote digestion by distending the atom The presence of bulky material being cessary to promote distension and fil the stomach of ruminating animals be digestion can be accomplished is freque last sight of. Hungarian grass is also ft for milch cows to be rather superior to ordinary run of bay. Tbe last year oi Hungarian grass has loomed up wot fully in the estimation of our dairy fare aud a very large scope of land will be s with it the coming season. It mature cutting in about sixty days, and proc two to four tons per acre the latte course on good soils Three pecks to acre is the usual allowance ot seed. HOUSEHOLD. Pvbdlxo Without Eggs. Rice, I pearl sago, and tapioca are best when pudding is made without eggs. Sprin tittle of any one of the above at the bo of a pudding dish, add a little sugar, -fill up wiih milk. Stir well before pit in the oven. To the sago add a small of cinnamon broken up. The rice -bake quite four hours, the sago and ta about three. Skim milk will do if you not spare the new milk. Geese and Ducks. Boiling should be poured all over and inside goose or duck before preparing it for ing, to take out the strong oily taste, lemon that has been carefull pared wi breaking the thin inner white skin be p inside a wild duck, and kept there for : eight hours before cooking, it will re all trace of a fishy flavor. Trifle. Cut six sponge cakes ia ha spread them with jam ; stud them wi monds ; soak them with three glas' wine, and cover with custard ; add a of eggs, and scatter "ten of thous: over it. Potato Cakes. Take mashed toes, flour and a little salt to make sweet, add a little powdered loaf a mix with just enough milk to ma) paste stifl enough to roll ; make i and thickness of a muffin, and bake
