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

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?

Mcu have grown old in our patronage
Rabies on their mothers' breast
To bouncing boys at play ;
Aud youths by maidens fair caressed,
To stalwart men with cares oppressed,
And old men silver gray.
And anions the honored and lasting impres

circumstances, we stand a living monnmental
memento of the ingenuity and perseverance ap
pertaining to the identity of progression, plying
our vocation with the highest style of art and

which the presence of superior appliances and es
tablishment arc always wont to inspire.
Always to please
Wc shave with ease
Cut and comb with taste the hair ;
Shampoo the head with soothing care,
Aud color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.
Then allow me politely reipiflst you to stop.
And not go past nor from around our shop.
To gel shaved on the basis of ability nor as
some have done for our use of the ballot for prin
ciple sacred and right nor under the common
secret and iuvidious guise of enmity to complex

his skin, ought not to allett his usefulness nor
his qualifications. A fair chance is all that we

Unprofitable Gram CVlture. 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

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.

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.
