A Mathematical Person writes to ona of the papers to say that 'If Columbus, when he first came to America, had put away one cent and not disturbed it until to day, it would have amounted to the sum of S007.U8fl.900 7.' If this is true it is a great pity the idea never occurred to Co lumbus, lie might have had a nice little fortune to comfort him in his old age. But is U true V That depends, of course, upon where he would luve put it. Old Stur buckle, of Berks couuty, Peuua., several years aj-o, read iu an almanac that money would double itself by compound interest in eleven years, if it were put away and lelt uutouched. Accordingly, .Starbucklo put g'.KK) iu a tin box and buried it iu his cellar. He permitted it to remaiu there " for eleven years, and then dug it out with the confident expectation that the amount in the box would be 1800. But it wasn't, and Mr. Starbuckle now only considers the science of arithmetic a transparent fraud, but he don't repose any confidence in the almanac when it say .Sunday comes on the first day of the week.-' Max Adcler is re sponsible for the correspondent, aud then gives his own experience as follows : I went into a Philadelphia book store the other day, for the purpose of purchas ing copy of Chriotophcr North's well known 'Xoctes Ambrosianae.' The first person I encountered was a red-haired clerk, to whom I said : 'Have you 'Xoctes Ambrosianae 1" AVh-wh-wh-what d'you say ?' he asked, with mouth and eyes wide ojen. 'I called to ascertain if you have 'N'ocU-s Ambrosianae 1" 'I don't exactly that is, I don't under knocked his wliat d'you say ?' 'I say that I understood that you had 'Xoctes Ambrosianae.' If you haven't, why don't you say so at once V I don't know what you mean. 1 never did such a thing in my life.' 'Perhaps you dou't understand me. I wish to see if you have 'Xoctes Ambrosia nae.' Oh, he has, has he ? He's knocked his, what do you call it, has he ? Well, I don't care a cent if he has. You've come to the wrong shop. You must he crazy. Your mind seems to be wandering, it is unhing ed ; you haven't ' (breaking off sudden ly and addressing a clerk in the rear of the store.) 'Say, Bill, here's a feller that's fooliu' around here wantin' to knock some body. Get a policeman, quick.1 Then I left and hunted np another em porium of learning.' Mr. Cooley' Hat. When Mr. Cooley came into church last Sunday, he placed his new high bat just outside the pew in the aisle. Presently Mrs. Pitman entered, and as she proceeded up the aisle, her abounding skirts Bcooped Cooky's hat and rolled it up nearly to the pulpit. Cooley pursued his hat with feelings of indignation aud when Mrs. Pitt man took her seat, he walked back, brushing the hat with his sleeve. A few moments later Mrs. Hop kins came iu church, and as Cooley had again placed his hat in the aisle, Mrs. Hopkins' skirts struck it and swept italong about twenty feet, aud left it lying on the carpet in a demoralized condition. Cooley was singing a hymn at iht time, and he did'ut miss it. But a moment later, when he looked over the cud of the pew to see if it was safe, be was fuiiout to see that it was gone. He skirmished up the aisle af ter it again, red in the face, and uttering sentences which were horribly out of place in the sanctuary. However, he put his hat down again and determined to keep his eye on it, but just as he had turned his head away for a moment, Mrs. Smiley came in, aud Cooley looked around only in time to watch the hat being gathered in under Mrs. Smiley 's skirts and carried away among them. He started in pursuit, and just as he did so the hat must have rolled against Mrs. Smiley's ankles, for she gave a jump and screamed right out in church. When her husband asked her what was the matter, site said there must be a dog under her dress, and she gave her skins a twist Out rolled Cooley 's hut, and Mr. Smiley, being very near sighted, thought it was a dog, and immediately kicked it so savagely that it flew up into the gallery and lodged upon the top of the organ. Cooley, perfectly frantic with rage, forgot where he was,and,holding his clinch ed fist under Smiley 's nose, he shrieked : "I've half a mind to burst you over the snoot ?" Then he flung down his hymn book and rushed from the church. He went home bareheaded, and the sexton brought his humiliating hat around after dinner. After this Cooley intends to go to Quaker meeting, where he can say his prayers with his hat ou bis head. Max Adder. Magistrates who wish to tako lessons in 'suitable admonitions' will find a few useful hints in the feeling observations ad- ' dressed by a judge in Kansas, to a prisoner the other day, reported in one of the local papers: 'Brumley, you infamous scoun drel, you are an unredeemed villain ! You hain't got a single redeeming trait in your character. Your wife and family wish we had sent you to the Penitentiary. Thjs is the fifth time I have had you before me, and you have put me to more trouble than your neck is worth. I've exhorted and prayed over you long enough you sconn drel I Just go home and take one glimpse of your family and be off iu short order S Don't let's ever bear of you agaiu. The grand jury have found two other iudict ments against you, but I'll discharge you on your own recognizance ; and if I catch you in this neck of woods to-morrow morn ing at daylight, I'll sock you right square iu jail, and bump you off to Jeffersonville in Iom than uo time, you infernal scoun drel ! If ever I catch you crossing your finger at a man, woman or child, white man or nigger, I'll sock you right square into the jug ! Stand up you scoundrel while I pats sentence on you 1' Hard Work. A young mau 'out iu the country,' tried milking a cow, and as he milked lie smoked his cigar. He got on very well, as be believed, until he lowered his liead and touched the cow's flunk with the lighted end of his weed. The next in stant himself and cigar were dreadfully 'put out.' The cow introduced about two tons' weight into one of her legs, and theu passed it under the milker's left jaw. When he ceased whirling around, and my riads of stars had disappeared, be said farming was the hardest work a man could put his hand to. A buy sauntered up to a yard where a woman was scratching the bosom of the earth with a rake, and, leaning ou the fence, said : 'Are you going arouud the back yard after awhile ?? The woman said site didn't know ; may be she would ; why y BecaU!e,' the boy said, 'I just saw the cistern lid drop on the baby's head a micute ago, and thought if you went round you might lift it off.' It is currently re ported that the women went. Why is a coaebmaa like the clouds? Because he holds the reins.

One of the most beautiful sights on a farm Is to see a crop of grain of even size and quality over the whole surface of view, and from one side of the field to the other across its whole extent. But this is what we seldom see ; and especially this sea son it strikes the traveler more we think than usual. It is no uncommon sight, at least in this part of the world, at this particular time, to see rye fields in which the plants will be near three feet high in some parts of it and in others not over a foot. In others they will stand so thick ly on the ground that no earth can be seen, anr! again are large patches with here and there a struggling blade, and the baked aad parched ground everywhere visible. To how much of this sort l culture may be attributed the report of the past ten years, that it is useless to try to grow rye for the grain in this part of the coun try. It is the straw which pays. RyS will yield hereabouts as well as ever, but not under such slovenly treatment as this. One of our cultiva tors near Germantown assures us that for the four years past be has never had less than fif teen bushels per acre of rye, while the straw yielded about three torn, yet we know of many who contend that rye hardly ever pays for threshing ; as in this part of the world where long, clean, straight straw is the great point to aim at, it has all to be threshed by the old-fashioned hand-flail. It Is not that rye or wheat will not pay ; it is rather that slovenly culture U ruinous. The fact that here and there in the tracts under grain that we have referred to, are patches which would do credit to the most particular grower, shows that the trouble is not In the soil or cli mate, but in management. Most of the bare or stunted patches are due to indifference about draining off surface-water ; and some to a ne glect in regard to the uniform depth and "nutri tiveness" to coin a word of the soil. Surface water is, however, the greatest foe to an even stand of grain. It does not seem to hart plants much in winter ; bat as soon as growth begins, if the roots are in earth in which the water does not pass freely away, some of the roots decay, and when the water has finally escaped, the plant is left with less roots than those more favored, and thus cannot progress as fast. Of ten times a few open furrows led through the wettest portions would make all the difference between a first-class aud a poor result. We know the excuse for much of this neglect is that it requires too much labor to do things well. The labor question is always the great frightener. We do not wonder that it Is to in view of quality and price of labor, but the great point in our remarks is that the labor is too often thrown away, as the poor patches do not pay the labor spent on them. Germantotm TtU graph. IIOl.SEIIOLD. nor Beer. Healthy, easily made aud really valuable ; will keep six or eight months ; three months after it is made it is almost equal to ale. This receipt is for fifteen gallons : Twelve ounces hops, six quarts molasses, ten eggs ; put the hops in a bag and boil them fifteen minutes in three pails of water ; put in the molasses while hot, and pour immediately Into a strong ale cask which can be made perfectly air tight and the remainder o( the water cold ; let the mixture stand until cool, and then add the eggs, well beaten. This beer will not ferment In cold weather unless put in quite a warm place. Grape Leap Pickles. The Moravians iu Sa lem, N. C, are said to put up cucumber pickles as follows : Put a layer of sonr, wild grapes with the leaves of the viae in the bottom of a vessel ; then a layer of the cucumbers, and al ternate thus until the vessel is full, or until you have put in as mauy cucumbers as yon desire. Then put in water enough to cover them, and place boards and weights on top to keep them under water. They do not require any further attention, although you may, if yon desire, take them eut and finish them with vinegar. They are are called grape leaf pickle. Felons asd RrsTT Nails. Elder Evans, the Shaker says For the past ten years we have treated felons with hot water, and with unerring success. X cutting, no blistering, no anything, but immersing the fiuger, hand or even the whole arm if necessary, in water as hot a can be borne, until the pain is gone and the core is loosened and drawn from the bone. When rusty nails have produced wounds, the same course has been pursued. If on the hand or foot, keep ii in hot water. Hard Soap. One twenty-five cent box of con centrated lie dissolved in a half gallon of rain water ; pour in a vessel to cool ; melt five pounds clean lard or tallow ; when milk warm pour in yonr lye, very slowly, and stir rapidly ; continue stirring nntil it begins to thicken ; add any per fume desired ; have ready a clean box a foot square; pour in and cover air-tight ; let it re main three or four days, then eut np in cakes. Countay Gentleman. Excellent Johsstcakbs. One enp meal, one of flour, one of sugar, one of milk, one egg, butter the size of an egg, soda and cream tartar; or, another, four lablespoonfuls of corn meal, three tablespoons of flour, one tablespoon of soda, lS of cream tartar, 1 cup roilk, small lump bitter, 2 tablespoons sugar, a little salt. From the Germantown Telegraph. Oca Receipt to Make Ccrkant Wise. For several years we made a ten-gallon keg of cur rant wine, of as good quality as any we have tasted, ana is generally so pronounced by those who have bad an oppoitnnity to judge. The mode of manufacture U simple, and can easily be followed by any family having the currants and the disposition to make the wine. The currants should be folly ripe when picked; put them Into a large tab, in which they should remain a day or two, then crush with the bands, unless yon have a small patent wine press, in which tbey should not be pressed too much, or the stems will be bruised and impart a disagreea ble taste to the j nice. If the hands are used, put the crushed frnit, after the juice has been poured off, in a cloth or sack and press ont the remain ing juice. Put the juice back into the tub after cleansing it. where it should remain about three days, nntil the first stage of fermentation is over, and removing once or twice a day the scum copiously arising to the top. Then put the juice iu a vessal a demijohn, keg or barrel any size to suit the quantity made, and to each quart of juice add three pounds of the best yellow sugar, and soft water sufficient to make a gal Ion. Thus, ten quarts of juice and thirty pounds of uar will give you ten gallons of wine and so on iu that projtortion. Thoe who do not like sweet wiuecan reduce the quantity of sugar to two and a-half ; or who wish it very sweet, raise it to three and a-half pounds per gallou. The vessel mast be full and the bung or stop per left off until fermentation ceases, which will be in twelve or fifteen days. Meanwhile the cask must be filled np daily with currant juice left over, as fermentation throws ont the impure matter. When fermentation ceases rack the wine off carefully, either from the spiggot or by a syphon, and keep it running all the time. Clense the eatk thoroughly with boiling water, then re turn the wine, bnng up tightly and let staud four or five months, when it will he fit to drink aud can be bottled if desired. All the vessels, casks, Ac, should be perfectly sweet, and the whole operation should be done with an eye of cleanliness. In such event, every drop of biandy or other spiritoas liquor added will detract from the flavor of the wine, and will not in the least degree increase its keeping quali ties. Currant wine made in this way will keep for an age. We have some made In l&jft which Is really an excellent article. Stbawbehkies asd Raspbeuries. These ran be preserved for ice-cream or cakes or for tarts, ithout boiling. They should be picked when the fruits is dry, and pat at once Into a deep bowl or pan, and bruise gently. Mix with an equal weight of best "sifted" sugar, and put im mediately into wide-necked bottles ; cork these firmly without delay, and tie bladders over the tops. Keep in a cool place or the fruit will fer ment. This mixture should be stirred softly, and only just sufficient to blend the sugar and the fruit. The bottles must be perfectly dry, and the bladders, after having been cleaned in the nana! way, and allowed to become nearly dry, should be moistened with a little whiskey or alchoal on the side next the cork. I have thus successfully put up both strawberries and rasberries for fu ture nse. Wafer Ckacmrs. One pound of floor, one teaspoonful of salt, half one of soda, even table spoonful of lard. Make .up with tweet milk j heat well,- roll thin and bake quick.
