CALDWELL'S
Wineandlron Billers!
A Bolt Alwats is Oeder.' Squills
declares Uial his wife is always taking some
kind of mean ad rentage of him. 'The best
woman in the world sir,' sajs Squills, 'but
now and (hen she will act mean, and she
cant help it.1
Last Saturday, at breakfast,' said Squills,
'she was smiling as a bundle of chips.
Are jour chops done to your liking,
Squills, dear ?
Delicious, my lore.'
'I broiled Ihera myself, dear.'
'I knew it was poing to be cold,' said
Squills, 'and when I got into the hall to
leave Mrs. Squiilr was there with my hat
in one hand and my overcoat in the other.'
Squills, dear, Bbe began. .
I thought it time to pitch in here, 'said
Squills,4 so I said, How much, Mrs. Sqills ?
Out with it, my love.'
Mr. Squills.' said sue, 'don't be unmanly,
sir, I beg ; not to say ridiculous. Gunsy
wants a new silk dress to go to church in ;
the poor child really isn't decent 'you are
very sorry ; well, so you ought to be, 'Let
her say her prayers at home.' No, Mr.
Squills, she shan't stay at home, and she
shan't say her prayers ; aud Mr. Squills,
you're enough to aggravate a saint, and
yocr conduct is disgusting, and is enough to
drive a woman to bolt right off to Chicago
and get a divorce.'
I thought this was a good time to fire off
my ptt joke," said Squills ; ho I said,
Mrs. Squills, a bolt is always in order.'
Then I bolted myself, for Mrs. Squills comes
of a fighting family.'
'When I went home at night, Gussy,
dear child, played all my pet Offenbach
music, and I knew I was in for the dress,
only I wanted to hold out till morning, just
for the look of tbe thing.
'For five years after we were married,'
said Squills, 'Mrs. S. would persist in look
ing under the bed for a man. It's the same
nik:'! every woman looks for, I spose, be
cause they all do it. Well, failing to find
the man, Mrs. Squills finally gave him up
in dib'ust, and took to something else, I
spose, said Squills ; 'they all take to some
thing else af.er they can't find the man un
der the bed. Mrs. Squills' weakness is
bolting the door. 'Mr. Squills, have you
bolted the door 1" is always the last thing
at night
This particular night, said Squills,
'Mrs. S. was very digniGed and distant.
'No familiarities, Mr. Squills, if you please;
you wounded my feelings in their tender
est point this morning, and I cannot for
get, though you did, that I am your wife,
sir, and the mother of your children, Mr.
Squills.'
'This was pitching in uncommonly
etroug, you know,' said Squills, 'and I was
about to surrender, when Mrs. Squills
turned off the "as and then coiled herself
up in a pet somewhere on the outside bed
rail. Not even KJood night, Squills.' I
felt pretty hard about it, I can tell you, but
I went to sleep. I don't know how long 1
slept, but some time, when I experienced a
kick iu the back as if a playful mule had
been fanning me. Perhaps it was neces
sary, as I always slept hard.'
'Mr. Squills,' at last I heard Mrs. S. say,
'Mr. Squills, have you bolted the door ?'
'Now, leave it to any man, said Squills,
appealiugly, 'whether this is the correct
thing for a mother of a family to do. Of
course I got up and bolted the infernal
.door, and said: 'Mrs. Squills, why the
deuce didn't you think of bolting the door
before I went to sleep, and not wake up a
man in the middle of a cold night to do it ?'
And what do you suppose the answer was?'
Why, Mr. Squills,' said she, 'I thought
a bolt was always in orde-.'
'What did I say ? What could I say?
And the worst of it all, said Squills, 'I'll
be hanged if she wasn't laughing at me ; I
could feel the bed shaking.' .St. Louix lit
jtubllcan. Stobt or Tom Marshall. Tom Mar
shall at one time indulged in such excesses
that his friends became alarmed, and de
termined to make an effort to reclaim him.
Mr. Mud gum was designated to remonstrate
with the wild Kentuckian, and endeavored
to impress him with a proper sense of bis
position.
'I'll bear anything you have to say,
Mangum, said Marshall, as the Senator
opened the conversation.
Your friends have been greatly concern
ed at the manner in which you have been
conducting yourself.'
Don't wonder at it. Been badly both
ered myself. Sent you here to talk with
me, didn't they ?"
"Yes ; they thought as I sometimes take
a glass myself, my advice would have the
more effect."
"You drink too much, llangum, I've been
thinking of sneaking to you on the subject
But what do you want me to do ?"
"Your friends have the greatest admira
tion for your genius aud talents. They are
confident that with sobriety and applica
tion you might reasonably aspire to the
hiehest place uuder the Government'
'What do you think I could get?'
'I have no doubt you might be made
Chief Justice of the United States.'
, 'There's boeu oue Chief Justice in my
family ; I don't care to follow him.'
; 'You might even hope to become Presi
dent ,
No great credit to follow Captain Ty
ler. But I tell you what I'll do. Mau
gum: you make me President of the
United States, and if I dont make you Se
cretary of State I'll agree to be blanked I
Let's take a drink.' Am Old Stager, in
HarjxrU Magazine for June.
A Massachusetts farmer says : My
rattle will foDow me until I leave the lot,
and on the way up to the barn yard In the
evening stop and call for a lock of hay.
Sraithson says there is nothing at all re
markable about that He went into a barn
yard in the country one day last week,
where he had not the slightest acquaint
ance with the cattle, and an old bull not only
followed him until he left the lot,but took the
gate off the hinges aud raced with hint to
the bouse in the most familiar way possi
ble. Smithson says he has no doubt that
the old fellow would have called for some
thins if he had waited a little while, but
he didn't want to keep the folks waiting
for dinner, so he hung one tail of his coat
and a piece of his paats on the bull's horns
aud went into the house.
WniLE Company N' of the Twenty-
eighth Pennsylvania Volunteers was do
ing picket duty on the Potomac, John Moy,
not many years from old Ireland, was placed
as sentinel, with orders to examine all
passes. During the day a horseman
chanced that way, and being summoned to
halt, banded his pass to Moy, who leisurely
canned it cave it back, and permitted the
horseman to go on. Moy's deliberation
had been noted by Lieutenant P , who
called out,
Was that a proper pass V
Yis.Sur.'
What was on It, John ?'
Divil a bit do I know, Sur, but with all
the readin' and writin' there was on that
pass, it was enough to pass a major-general

Men have grown old in our patronage
Babies on their mothers' breast
To bouncing boys at play ;
And youths by maidens fair caressed,
To stalwart men with cares oppressed,
And old men silver gray.
And among the honored nnd lasting impres
sions of time, and the crash of revolutions in
circumstances, we stand a living monumental
memento of the ingenuity and perseverance ap
pertaining to the identity of progression, plying
our vocation with the highest style of art and
perfection, andaspiring to achieve the highest
reward of merit attainable in our humble capaci

which the presence of superior appliances and es

Always to please
We shave with ease
Cut and comb with taste the hair ;
Shampoo the head with soothing care,
And color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then allow me politely request yoa to stop,
And not go past nor from around our shop.

Snnbnry, Jan. 11, 187TJ.
Ccro Cloves Hat A correspondent of the
Germantown TtUgraph gives the following a
his plan for curing and using clorer hay. He
says : "The most common way ia to salt plenti
fully when putting away, but aa sometimes stock
get too much salt in that way, I prefer two other
ways. The first Is to linu, where bam room ia
not plenty, after hia manner : Put down the
hay over the mow loosely about eighteen inches
in depth, and setter over air-slacked lime, aay
about one-half peek to each ten feet square of
surface. Tramp down while laying ; then an
other eighteen inches, and so until completed.
Clover pnt np In this way requires as much sun
shine as possible, and as little breaking of the
leaves ; but it can be put awny quita aa green by
salting. In feeding oat I neer find any lime
and very little dust.
Where barn room ia plenty I prefer the fol
lowing plan : Cut tbe clever in the morning and
afternoon, lay it loosely over the scaffolds' and
floors two feet or more thick, but never pack
away. If not honied fork It over two ar three
days and mow away. I can put up in my barn
about an acre a day. It Is a slow way in thia
fast age, but when one sees the hay in February
and March he must acknowledge it a good way.
"My way or feeding clover hay ia principally
to niUch cows ; and we can always have good
yellow butter when the cow are fed once a day
on clover hay. I also feed occasionally to calves
and sheep, mors for a change of feed than being
any better for them than other hay. I believe
in changing feed as often aa possible during long
cold times in aur changeable winters. I use
clover for soiling for milch cows as much as
possible, finding it increases the milk and keeps
tbe cow quiet while being milked. Never feed
clover bay to horse.
"Soma of onr farmers are using clover a; a
f II . i 1 ,. . 1 " , -
imuuki uu wuvr imu uaai. i nave no ex
perience in that way but by observation on other
farms. Have seen some good crops of wheat
which were attributed to plowing in clover. For
pasturing hogs I think clover better than any of
the grasses." .
Ccnno potatoes for planting ia a fertile
source of weakness. The potato is a perennial
plant, propagated from the eyes or buds of the
tuber b not a part of the root, but rather of the
top. The whole object of iu formation, aa far
as nature la concerned, ia for the purpose of per
petuating itself. The roots, leaves, stalks, and
all parts of the plant, are there in embryo, and
must inevitably weaken it. That it continues to
grow only proves Iu great natural vigor. Try
this practice upon the apple, peach, pear, plum
or any other fleshy get ma, and see If you can
coutlnue to grow them. The skin of the tuber
ia almost impervious to fluids, and protects the
stored-up food from injury until the plant gets a
surt. Cutting it opens tha way to Injury from
water, and causes the seed to rot, dwarfs the
plant when it does grow, and deprives It of the
materials which nature placed within it for the
sustenance of the plant while young. If w
would restore It, we must cultivate it npon high
lands, cease stimulatiag it with animal manure
and feculent matter to grow large crops, give
it Instead mineral manures, mora room, and
more air. Overgrown tubeis are deficient in
starch, watery, and less nutritious. Few of ns
have ever had the happiness of eating thia food
in iu best estate. Journal of Chemittry.
Food for Pigs. There ia no doubt in our
mind of the benefit from feeding crude carbona
ceous matter to swine, when they are kept in
close pens. The avidity with which hogs eat
rotten wood ia well known. Charcoal ia but an
other form of carbon. Bituminous coal is still
another form. The utility or feeding wood and
coal has long been recognized. We some years
since substituted the ordinary western stone coal
with the best results, where from 300 to 500 hog
were kept in close pens and fed on tbe refuse of
city hotels. Something of tbe kind seems aa ne
cessary to them as salt to strictly herbivorous
animals. We have known them to consume a
pound in tbe coarse of a day, and again they
wonld not seek the coal for some time. Just
what the particalar nae coal la in tha animal
economy, ia not so easy to answer. Swine are
especially liable to sciofulous and inflammatory
diseases. Carbon, in the shape of coal, is aa
antiseptic, and the probability is that it acts ia
thia way in purifying tbe blood. Wtittm SuraL
Raw TcKsirs. Some one writes the Htrmld
of IlenWi : "I have always let my children eat
as many raw turnips aa they like. I heard a
city woman say the other day they were not
healthy, and I believe they don't hart anybody.
Will yon please settle thia dispute for ns?" Tha
editor answers: Generally children are fond of
raw turnips of the fiat,whlte,strap leafed variety,
if taken fresh from the field before very old and
tough. If they are scraped with a knife they
will not harm healthy, active children. If simply
ehewed they are not easily digested. Aa a rale
country children have better appetitea and
stronger powers of digestion than eity children.
They get more fresh air and exercise. There la
mar waste and more want, benea the same rale
will not apply to both classes."
Chicken Choleba. It appears thai a corres
pondent of the Country GtutUtnmn at last found
the remedy for chicken cholera. He says :
I lost some thirty-five the past season out of a
flock of one hundred, before I eoald bring my
mind to try a remedy that had beea suggested.
After trying everything else that I could hear of
without avail, I did try it, and stopped tbe reme
dy at once. This remedy consisted in pouring a
little kerosene oil oa their corn, and then mixing
it through tbe com with the hand. I first tried
It with some that were very sick, and tha next
day they were well. I then fed it to the lock,
and have not lost a chicken since t and they all
look much more brilliant in plumage than be
fore. My flock consists oi white Brkhmas and
Cochins.
What is in tub Bedroom. The importance
f ventilating bedrooms ia a fact in which every
body la vitally interested, and which few proper
ly appreciate. If two men are to occupy a bed
room during a night, let them step npon weighing-scales
as they retire, and then again ia the

Almond Icing: for Cakes To every pound of
finely pounded loaf sugar, allow one pound of
sweet almonds, the whites of fonr eggs, a little
rose-water. Blanch the almonds, and pound
them (a few at a time) in a mortar to a paste,
adding a little rose-water to facilitate tbe opera
tion. Whisk the whites of tbe eggs to a strong
froth ; mix them with the pounded almonds,
stir in the sugar, and beat altogether. When
the cake ia sufficiently baked, lay on tha almond
icing, and put it into the oven to dry. Before
laying this preparation on tbe cake, great care
must lie taken that it is nice and smooth, which
is easily accomplished by well beating the mix
ture.
Ccbbant Di'mpunos. One pound of flour,
six ounces of suet, half a pound or currants,
rather more than hair a pint or water. Chop
the suet finely, mix it with the flour, and add
the currants, which should be nicely washed,
pickee", and dried ; mix the whole to a limp
paste with the water (if wanted very nice, use
milk) ; divide it into seven or eight dumplings ;
tie them in cloths, and boll for an hour and a
quarter. They may be boiled without a cloth ;
they should then be made Into round balls, and
dropped Into hot water, and should be moved
about at first to prevent them from sticking to
the bottom of the saucepan. Serve with a eat
lemon, cold butter, and sifted sugar.
