Ottex.tiie Tailor. Not many mouths
ago a gentleman by the name of Owen came
to Pittsburg, and hung out his sijjn as a
fashionable tailor none of the common
cut and try' kind, but a professional cis
tumer and as a consequence every slylish
younp; geut in the city must have a suit
made by the new tailer. Among other cus
tomers was a fancy looking pent whose
brightly polished boots, close lilting kids
and nobby hat denoted a fashionable, if not
6U industrious, youn man, and he, of
course, must have a suit made by the fash
ionable tailor. The suit vras made and ac
cepted, but the young man asked as a par
ticular favor that he would give him credit
for a few days, as his remittances from the
cast were for some unaccountable reason
delayed, and, as the next day was Suuday,
aud the tailor could hardly miss so good au
opportunity to have his work publicly ad
vertised, he graciously consented to break
his rule cf 'no trust' for once, and the
clothes were carried away in triumph by
the stylish young man. Pays came and
went, and weeks, and still the remittance
did not come, and at length the tailor made
bold to call on his stylish customer at his
hotel. He found him tipped back in his
chair, puffing away at a fragrant Ilavaua,
aud greeted him with a smile meant to be
verv cordial aud insinuating, but to his
surprise was greeted with a stare of astou
ishmcnL 'Why, don't you know roe ;
am Owen, the tailor.' -indeed, are you, old
fellow V said his stylish customer, seizing
his hand ; 'are you ? well, good for you 1
clad to meet you ! So am I owe au old
chap down here fr these very rags I've got
on.' 'Yes, and that" just what I meau
I am Oweu. the fashionable tailor.' 'so
you said. How did you manage, old chap
I just shoved my cheek on an old spoony
who thinks he is bharp, but I laid kirn out,
you bet V 'Hut, sir, don't you know me
I am Owen, the fashionable tailor, and you
ought to 'know' any man who can get
ahead of a fashionable tailor ; give us jer
hand again, old fellow, give us ycr baud.'
Completely dumbfounded by the cool im
pudence of his cheeky debtor, the tailor
gave up the case as hopeless, accepted
proffered cigar from his cheeky creditor,
and retired, and so there are two persons
in town who claim to b 'Owen, the tail
or.'
The Court's Motjiek-in-Law.
Amelia Donnerschlog, a young German
lady, brought suit before Justic Hauyon of
Chicago, one day last week, against August
lichrens, for breach of promise, claiming
S200. She would have sued for -more, but
8200 is the limit of the jurisdiction of a
justice. The complainant stated that she
had known the defendant in German, and
had 1ecome engaged to him there. He had
emigrated to this country in order to earn
a home, and she had followed Lim in the
course of a year. The young man admitted
the engagement and added :
When this young lady came over from
Germany she did ask me to marry her,
and I was ready to, ami I told her I was.
Cut she said that her mother must live
with us and keep house for u. I told her
I had watched the ways vf her mother, and
that I was not pleased with them ; that I
loved her very deeply, and was ready to
marry her, but I did not wish to marry her
mother also who was a woman of lordly
and unplctaut habits, and insisted upon
feeding me too much on cabbage, a vegeta
ble I have always had a dislike for. I am
ready, ycir honor, to marry her now, pro
Tiding that the will leave her mother out
iu the cold ; but I will not marry the old
woman. I have made up my iniud to that,
no matter what comes.
The justice asked IJehrens which he
would rather do, pay dowu $ 200 or marry
the young lady aud have her mother live
with them ; aud Uchrens answered firmly,
"I will pay the gJ-xi."' And then, if we
may believe an account in the Chicago
Tiibtmr, Justice Danyon was delivered of
this remarkable language :
"Allow me to shake hands with you ; I
envy your firmness. There was a period
iu the life of this court, Mr. Ikhreus, w hen
it was placed in circumstances somewhat
similar to your own. If it had had the
moral courage which you possess, it would
have been saved about twenty-five years
of unhappiuess. The alternative was pre
sented to this court whether it would marry
a young lady and her mother or whether it
would pay S12.J iu gold. The court was
poor at that time. It was earning an un
satisfactory living at the restaurant busi
ness. It yielded. It took the young woman
and the mother-in-law and kept the $,125.
For a quarter of a century this court re
gretted its hasty action. It is glad to meet
a man who cherishes happiness more than
he does money. The order of the court is
that the defendant stand discharged, and
that the complainant, who has l)eeu trying
to bring a man into slavery to a mother-in-law,
yt fined ten dollars and costs.'
"When you have interfered iu a family
fight, and been knocked down stairs by the
brutal husband, and had a kettle of hot wa
ter poured on your by the ill-treated wife,
console yourself with the reflection that the
memory of noble aud useful acts wrought
in early youth is like the coral islands
green and sunn- amidst the melancholy
ocean. Afler it has happened to you
several times you will decide that you have
laid up memories cuough of that sort.and
will never interfere between man and wife.

was offered the person who should guess

a youug lawyer to invest a dime. The
practitioner replied, 'I'll play you a game
of suclier to see who gets the cake, but I
don't understand the other game.'

Preparing Ground foe Corjt. At a
recent meeting of the Bucks County Agri
cultural Society one of the subjects dis
cussed was iu regard to the preparation of
ground for corn. An essay was read by
David Palmer, in which the opinion was
expressed, based on experience and obser
vation, that late plowing, just before the
planting season, had proved to be best as a
general thius. That fall plowing had the
elluct of destroying insects he thought a
mistake, and the views of Thomas Meehan
were quoted iu bupport of this belief. It
was also a fallacy to su; pose the earth was
mellowed by freeziiig, as it is compacted
again by thawing and heavy rains. The
freshly plowed ground is the most easily
prepared for planting. Iu regard to the
depth of plowing there is much diversity
of opinion. What seemed to him a good
rule was to turn up the earth just the depth
of the soil, unless it is very deep. Should
the soil be thin he would go a little beneath
it, especially if drought was feared. lie
would mark out for the rows so deeply that
the roots of the corn would soon reach the
manure and rotted grass around the field,
in the best possible manner, turning the
furrows flat. Thus he would save time ia
the preparation of the soil, and have less
labor in keeping the grass and weeds ia
subjection.
Tm.-j is the way a famous cantelope cul
tivator gets a Gne start with his plants, and
has early fruit, as early as any in our mar
kets : "I dig holes twelve inches square,
eight or ten inches deep ; fill up with well
rotted horse-manue to the surface. On
this put two inches of soil. Then take a
four-inch flower-pot; set in the centre;
draw the remainder of the soil around the
pot, until the soil is about four inches deep;
then give the pot a twist round, withdraw
it. This leaves a hole four inches deep by
four wide. In this I drop fire or six seeds,
and cover to the depth of three-quarters of
an inch. Over this place a light of six by
eight glass, pressing it lightly to" fit close.
I then give no more attention till tie plants
are touching the "lass. Then go through.
taking a small stone, raise up one end of
the glass with it ; this admits of a circula
tion of air over the plants and hardens
them. In about three days more remove
the glass entirely. By this time they will
be in the rough leaf. I thia out to three
plants in a hill. I draw a little fine soil
around them, up as high as the seed leaf,
and the work is done."
Garden Herbs. Every well-kept garden
should have a due proportion of garden herbs,
but with the exception of lome coarse fellows
which know how to take care of themselves, such
as catnip and chamonile, there are seldom aay to
be found. These of the most popular and use
ful, sage, thyme and parsley, are seldom grown
except by those who make specialties of them for
market.
Of parslej we recently gave some hints. In
substance we stated that it must be sown very
early and on cool, rich ground ; and that if the
seed did not appear for a month, still one shonld
have patience, for it is one of tlioe deliberate
sort of fellows which often take a long time to
decide what they intend to do about it.
In regard to sage, many have it for a year or
so when it disappears. To have sage continu
ous! , it is beet to treat it every second year as
we wonld box-edgings, of which we gave soma
accouut but a few weeks ago. That is, it shonld
be taken up, split apart, and set in the ground
much deeper than it was the year before. Roots
then come out from the vigorous young wood,
and the plants seem better adapted to stand ex
trenics of heat and cold than when the branches
are exposed on long stalks. Sage is not so lia
ble to get killed out in the winter when it is cut
back hard in the fall, as when It is left untouch
cd. Many cut back some of it for drying. Indeet
dried sagu is the form in which it is chiefly used.
When this is done regularly the plants do no
need replanting o ofUn.
Thyme usually manages to live through in thl
part of the world, though nothing be dene to it
but it also is better for being cut back close ever
fall, and for an occasional replanting. GtrnutH
torn Ttlegraj'h.
Stipkino Peas. A correspondent of the Lo
don Field makes the following suggestion ft t
the sticking of peas, which is worthy of trial :
He thinks that to those who have to proem
stakes at a great cost the following method wl
prove advantageous, being very cheap, simp
and easily performed. A few rough staki
should be obtained and driven into the grout
on each side of the row about twelve feet apai
These stakes should be of a corresponding heigl
,to that of the peas, and when the required nni
ber for a line Is iuserted, some tar rope or oth
strong cord may be tied to th end stakes, at
passed along the line of stakes, making a to.
ou each within a few inches of the ground, at
as growth progresses, raise the the next tarn
little higher, advancing in succession, until t
plants attain their full height. These lines beTj
run on at the right time, the tendrils of the pe
wiil clasp firmly round them and support t
plauts quite equal to the well-known plan
slicking. Some imagine an advantage to be a
tained in this way of training, as the lines get
better circulation of air, and pods canbegathi
cd at all times without injuring the haulm.
Eggs rou Setting. An English agticultoi
paper says that eggs intended for setting shot
be stored with the large end down, because t
air-bubble does not spread so much as when I
small end Is down, this preading of the air-bi
ble being known to alfect the freshness ana
tality of the eggs. Eggs stored with the large
down will keep perfectly good for hatching mi
than a month, while the others cannot be
pended on after two weeks. A successful pc
try breeder in Franklin, Mass., has been exp
mcuting with eggs for setting, and declares I
above statement correct, and adds that e,
stored on the large end for a few weeks bef
setting will hatch at once, instead of vary
several hours, as is usually the case with e;
not so prepared.
