If cremation comes in, the Philadelphia
Ledger will hare to produce a new style of
obituary Terse. The following hat already
been suggested :
"The boat t of heraldry,
The pomp of power,
And all that beauty.
And all that wealth e'er knew,
Await alike the inevitable hour
The path of glory lead but to the flue
.
And IhU U all that's left of thee
Tboa fairest of earth's daughter ;
Only four rounds of aches whits
Out of a hundred and fourteen and three
quarters.'
Slciciko Him Down. A lady had gone
to Tisit a youDg couple of the better class
of the poor. The husband being a stoker
c a railway, they were about the reach of
want. The visitor thought they might go
to church on Sundays, and she said so to
the young wife.
M ill you please walk in till I show you
something ?' was the woman's answer, and
she conducted her visitor to the little kiich
en, where her husband sat by the fire. lie
had just come home for half an hour to
have his tea. He was, of course, in his
working clothes, and bis face and hands
were of deep oily black, after the manner
of stokers. 'Now, ma'am,' said the wo
man, you see that man. That's my hue.
band ; and I'm bound to do a part by him
ain't I ?'
'Surely,' said the visitor, anxious to up
hold the duties of matrimony.
'Very well, then. I pass my Suudays

ha he to wash himself through the week
out early and late, and half the night too.
and blacker nor any crow all the while.
Well, on Sundays it is fitting and proper
that be should try to look like a Christain
if he can, so he sets me to it after we eat
our breakfast, with a bucketful of soapsuds
and a scrubbiug-brush, and I rubs him off
and on all day, till niv arms ache, and he
ain't much better than be wor ; and then
after we has our tea he says to tue 'Come,
Sally, have another try there's a brave
wench, and 1 goes at him again and sluices
nun aown un you'd tinuit a born uiggt r
'ud come out while, and, if you'd believe
me, ma'am, when I polishes him off with a
dry towel afore be goes to bed, he's only a
light brown after all !'
"Who can belu admiring the Roman
stoicism of the Arkansas judge who said
after one lawyer bad shot another dead in
the court-room, 'Look yeer, if you keep on
a fooling around in this yeer way, I'll com
mit some of you for contempt' Equal to
this in patient suffering was the gentleman
who lives in Coates street, who, when he
entered the basemeut dining-room the
other evening, found no one there, and no
preparations far the evening meal. He
went np to the parlor, aod there he found
his wife tilliu on the sofa with a youn
man by her side, and that young man's
arm about bcr waist
'See here,' said this mild husband,
don't like this kind of thing. Why isn
my supper ready ?'
'Because I didn't like to make it' said
the loving wife.
'What are you sitting there, a letting that
fellow hug you for ?'
'Because I do like it'
I tell you what it is, Annie,' and his
face assumed a fierce look of passion, 'if
this state of things continues much longer
I'll get mad, you bet your life'
We don't think that man will be arrested
for making an unprovoked assault on any
one.
IIeh Bill of Divobck. A few days
since a well-dressed couple, in the prime of
life, stopped at a hotel in a country town,
and sending for a justice of the peace, in
formed that functionary that they wished
to be married.
The justice said "all right,' and inquired
their names.
After being tokl it struck him that he
had erformed the same service for the lady
some years before. Upon inquiring if such
was not the case, she said she bad been
married previously.
'Have you a bill from you former bus
band ?' asked Mr. Justice.
'Yes,' she replied, 'I have a bill.'
This being satisfactory the ceremony, was
performed and the couple were declared
'man and wife.'
As tbey were about departing, the jus
tice, who had never seen a bill of divorce,'
and"baring a strong desire to behold the
the document, thought this an excellent
opportunity to satisfy his curiosity, there
fore said to the lady :
'Have you the bill with you ?'
'Oh yes,' she replied.
'Have you any objection to allowing roe
to see the bill ?' said our friend.
'None whatever,' she replied.
Stepping to the door and calling to a little
boy some three or four years of age, she
said :
'Here, bill, come here quick ; here's i
gentleman that wishes to see you.'
The gentleman wilted.
A Panburt couple of color, affection
ately interested in eacn otber witn a view
to matrimany, and unable to read or write,
have been corresponding through third
parties. . The other day Borneo was listen
ing to a letter from his Juliet, in which
happened the expression, 'reclining in the
arms of Morpheus.' - 'What's dat ? In de
arm ob anudder niggar ! Dat gal kin go
to de debbil I den lub dat secon' ban'
darkey no sah !'
A ragged, forlorn looking urchin entered
the store, and addressing the merchant,
piteously asked, A nickel to get my mother
a loaf of bread, please sir. ' A jovial neigh
bor, also a merchant, with a sly twinkle iu
his eye, thinking to have a joke with the
boy, produced a nickel and said : 'My son,
this nickel I worked for, now, what will
you do for it f ' Quick as thought the boy
went down into bis clothes and producing
a nickel, exclaimed, 'I'll match you, sir 1'
Old BciX was once seeing the sights at
Don ny brook Fair, when he was attracted
by tbe sound of a very loud violin in a tent
He entered and said, 'My good friend, do
you play by note?' 'Tbe deuce a note,
sir.' 'Do you play by ear, then ?' 'JT iver
an ear, yer honor.' How do you play
then ?' 'By main strength, be jabers.'

Sunbury, Jan. 11, 1873.
Education of Farmer's Wives. Farmer's
wives should study economy economy of money,
economy of time and economy o? mind. Meet
all of ns think we know hw to save, but we do
not. It is not economy for farmer's wives and
daughters to stand out In the snow on butcher
ing day, and clean and wash hogs' entrails, just
to save what little fat there ia on them for soap
grease. I have known farmer's wives and
daughters to do tbi when the whole amount
saved would not be worth twenty-five cents, and
their husbands and fathers at that time were
worth $30,000.
I know farmer's wives who are so anxious to
make money that they never allow their children
to have any cream or good, rich milk to eat with
their mush. They give their little ones blue
milk and sour yeast, seven days old (they say It
takes so much fresh bread for a meal they only
bake once a week), and tbe consequence is, the
children are made sick, the doctor is sent for and
hi bills have to be paid, which are often as
much ns all the butter will come to that tbe
mother will sell in six months. Now all such
methods as these are the very reverse of econo
my. When fanner's wives are as intelligent as
they should be, they consider the preservation of
their own health and the health of their families
as the greatest economy that can be practiced ou
the farm. We roust quit this stuffing business ;
we must learn that neither good taste nor good
sense requires ns to prepare fourteen different
dishes every time a neighbor comes to visit ns.
If we would do less of this fixing and fussing,
preparing food that no one dare eat if be hoped to'
have long lifeand put our time in in readino
and thinking-yes, it is absolutely necessary that
we have time to think. We mnst give our"
friends and our families plain, well-cooked food
r.nd then devote some time each day to our own'
improvement. PrarU Farmer.
The Xkw Peach Esemt. We briefly alluded,
last week, says the Denton (Md.) Union, to tbe
new enemy in our midst to the peach tree. The
insect is a small black bug to be found on the
peaeh twig, and near the bud, by the hundreds,
varying in size, when seen through a magnifying
glass, common garden pea. They are found
from the egg state, without apparent life, in afl
stages of development np to the full grown bug.
Almost every remedy has been resorted to by
Mr. J. W. Kerr, in an adjoining town, to save
his young peach stock, but so far without suc
cess. Be has resorted to coal oil, a strong solu
tion of tobacco, carbolic soap and various other
remedies, which are effectual in destroying the
bug. but which also destroy the tender bud of
the peach. These remedies, although provin"
effectual in destroying the bug and at the same
time killing the fruit, were abandoned last week
and a force of workers dispatched to tbe nurse
ries for the collection of the bugs. Tbe day's
labor resulted in capturing one bushel of bugs,
the exact amonut being ascertained by actual
measurement, which were placed in a file and
burnet:. The second day was spent in going
over the same trees a second time, when another
half bushel of bugs were gathered and burned.
Such is their power of reproduction. Mr. Kerr
thinks he had not gone over more than the one
twentieth part of his nursery of 83,000 peach
stock, the largest portion of which he believes to
be entirely destroyed by their depredations
To Destroy Issects. Dot alum water in a
recent suggestion as an insecticide. It will de
stroy red and black ants, cocKroaches, spiders,
chintz bugs, and all the crawling pests which
infest our houses. Take two ponnds of alum
and dissolve it in three or four quarts of boiling
water; let It stand on the fire till the alum di
appears ; then apply it with a brush, while near
ly boiling hot, to every joint aud crevice in your
closets, bedsteads, pantry shelves and tbe like.
Brush the crevices in tbe floor of the skirting or
mop-boards, if yoa suspect that they harbor
vermin. If in white-washing a ceiling plenty of
alum is added to the lime, it will also serve to
keep insects at a distance. Cockroaches will
flee the paint which has been washed in cool
alum water. Sugar barrels and boxes can be
freed from annts by drawing a wide chalk mark
just around the edge of the top of them. The
mark must be unbroken or they will creep over
it, buta continuous chalk mark half an inch in
width will set their depredations at naught.
Powdered alum or borax will keep the chintz
bug at a respectable distance, and travelers
shonld always carry a package of it in their
hand-bags to scatter over and under their pillows
in places where they have reason to suspect the
presence of snch bedfellow. Jntrnal of Chtmit

Canxisg Strawberries. "Daisy Eyebn'gbt"
in the Conntry Gtnilemtsn, gives the following di
rections for canning strawberries, and making
strawberry jelly s
At the commencement of strawberry season
make two or three quarts of white sugar into a
thick syrup by dissolving it in hot water, two
large coffee cupfulls to a quart. Boil and skim
this, and put Into a jug or bottles for future use.
Put your ripe, fresh strawberries Into glass cans.
hand fill np with the cold syrup nearly to the
brim, as the strawberries shrink somewhat.
Place in a kettle of cold water, putting the lids
on the tops of tbe cans first, but not screwing
them down. Let them come to a boil slowly ;
