Getting a PiioTod-tAU. He was a
very pleasant spoken man nice photo
grapher. He said it was a nice day, and
that we needed a little rain, and that the
Arkansas difficulty was a bad thing, and
that photographs were three dollars per
dozen no orders booked without the cash
in advance. He wanted to know if I want
ed full length, half length, bust, faee, or
what. I told him 'or what,' and he yank
ed his camera around, flung the big serenes
recklessly about, poked the skylight cur
tans this way and that with along stick,
and then he ordered me to sit down.
'There that way 1' he said as lie jerked
my body to the left and nearly broke, my
spine.
I went that way, and he Btepped back,
closed the left eye and squinted at me.
A trifle more !' he said, giving me an
other jerk.
Then he stepiied back and closed the
right eye and squinted again.
'Shulders up !' he taid, as he gave them
a twist which made the blades crack.
Then he went to the left and squinted
and cried 'ah !' and went 10 the right and
" squinted aud shouted 'um !' and he came
back, seized my head and jerked it up un
til I saw stars.
'That's better !' be said, as be walked
back to the camera.
Hut it wasn't. He came back and told
me to twist the right shoulder round up
my back, swell out ciy chest aud look
straight at a butterfly pinned to a corn
starch box, and be as pleasaut as I could.
'Capital 1' he cried as he took a squint
through the camera, on!y
And he rushed back, jerked my head a
little higher, pulled my ears back, brushed
up my hair, and said I'd beltter try to
smila and look natural.
'How t he dev , I began, but he waved
Lis hand, and said I must preserve my
placid demeanor.
'Now sit perfectly still and don't move
a hair,' be whispered, as he threw a black
cloth over the brass bound end of the ca
mera, and made a sudden dive into his lit
tle dark den. As he rattled the glass and
dashed the acids about, I felt a big pain in
my spine, a small pain in my chest, an
other in my neck, nothcr in my, ribs, but
I'd die first, and I kept my gaze on that
butterfly.
Ready now I' he cried, as he jumped out
and put in the glass. My head began to
bob, and the butterfly seemed to grow as
large as a horse, and he whispered :
Ixk out keep perfectly still 1'
I braced for a big effort, and he jerked
down the cloth. I felt as if the fate of a
nation rested on my shoulders, and I stuck
to iL He turned away, and I heard bira
talking softly to himself. After about an
hour ind a half he put up the rag, jerked
out the glass and ran into the den. He
was out in a moment, and as be held the
negative up to the sun he said :
Ah! you bobbed your head ; have to try
it again !'
An Enterprjmno koy. Oue of Bos
ton's well-established physicians, who
scarcely finds rest night or day, had occa
sioa recently to engage an office boy to ojien
and shut the door, run errands, and hold
his horse. The boy was from the country,
and evidently possessed an energetic dis
position, with a keen eye to business. In
order to give information to his patients,
the doctor recently had some cards print
ed, bearing his name, and stating his office
hours, as many callers lost valuable time
while waiting. These cards disappeared
with wonderful rapidity, so much so that
the doctor had his suspicion aroused that
his new boy was using them up in a clan
destine manner. 'Jo,' said the doctor one
morning, 'what has become of those cards
which I placed on the table in the outer
office V 'Cards, sir V repeated the boy,
Yes, cards,' reiterated the doctor. 'I took
'em,' replied the boy, proudly. 'What
have you done with them ?' demanded the
doctor. ' Well my mother told me before I
left home that I must make myself useful
to my employer, and so most every day
when I liadn't. anything else to do, I just
threw them into the horse cars as they pass
the corner.' The scene that followed can
not be dcscrilicd, but after tearing out two
haiidf'uls of his own hair, the doctor took
one grab at the red head of the enterprising
Lad, and nearly scalped him. Thus it was
that the well meant endeavors of the young
roan to promote the interests of his employ
er were rewarded. Burton Journal.
TVjiy IIe Didn't Marry Her. In the
course of a recent case of a breach of prom
ise of marriage, the father of the rejected
young lady made a somewhat amusing dis
closure. He had had a meeting with the
defendent, and while-on his journey he
drew up on the back of a railroad guide
which was produced in court the follow
ing interrogatories which he at the inter
view administered to the erring swain, as
well as tlie latter's answers to them :
Have you ever said anything to Mary of a
change in your feelings towards her ?'
Xo.' 'Has there been anything in her
letters to indicate a change of feeling on her
purl ?' Xo.' Ha anything been said or
0 me by Mary to warrant any change in
your feelings towards ber V '.No.' 'Has
any rumor, report or letter been received
by any of your friends, or anything been
aaid or done by Mary calculated to offend
you or yours 1" 'No.' Has any gossiping
story reached you affecting Mary i" 'Noth
of the kind.' 'Have you made any other
engagementor got into any entanglement ?'
No.' 'What is there to prevent your ful
filling your engagement ?' 'There is one
thing, and that is I have discovered that
aha does not take a sufficiently lively in
terestiocrictet.'

THE MERITS OF THE 'GOLDEN TONGUE.'
BY A NEW JERSEY BARD TO ISEATTY AND PLOTTS,
WASHINGTON, N. J.
'Tis an afro of invention, improvement and skill,
The world's In commotion, ar.d nothing is still ;
And progress in written wherever wo turn
So ! "the ball is kept rolling," and each day we
learn
Of some new achievement iu science or art ;
Each branch of industry in fact claims a part.
So each is awarded a prize from the hands
Of a generons public as merit demands.
So music's department can point, in her pride,
Tq men of true gonitis, whose fame has gone
wide
O'er hills and through valleys, in mansions and
and cots.
Well, due arc snch honors to "Btatly fc riotU,
Whose Golden Tongue organ stands first in the
land
The f 'rut as to merit, and first In demand.
Excelling in sweetness and richness of tone.
Surpassing all others, and standing alone.
Its worth is acknowledged wherever it is known,
As all will bear witness, and cheerfully one
For equal in workmanship, beauty, design,
Or finish, they challenge the best in the line.
Where faces were gloomy, and hearts once wre
sad
What homes arc now cheerful yes, happy and
glad.
Continue thy mission, thy song 'Golden Tongue,'
Hath chains of enchantment for old and for
young.
Bcatty & Plotts' celebrated Golden Tongnc
Parlor Organ is acknowledged by eminent pro
fessors of music to be the best Parlor Organ now
in use. Thousands of testimonials are constant
ly being received in favor of them, which go to
show that onr instrument gives entire satisfac

Thk Best Strawberries. From what we had
heard, we expected in some quarters to find some
newer strawberries brought prominently forward
this year. There has been considerable dullnesa
in the "new variety" market the past few years,
and it is about the usual tlmt for some novelty
to appear. There bare been some comparative
novelties in cultivation, aad it waa rather ex
pected that some of these would have shone
brightly, ut so far as we can learn the best of
the season has been again old kinds, some of
hich has been before the public for many years.
Albany Seedling a variety which nothing but
its heavy productiveness pushed into popular
favsr does not seem to have borne as abundant
ly as usual, while its old competitor, Triomphe
de Gand, has well held its ground. Some of the
other old-fashioned kinds, which were being
gradually let fall, have done o much better us
ual, that even the comparatively newer one we
referred to have had no show, and on the whole
we conclude that for another year more at least,
there is no new one to be Very strongly urged.

Gbousd Bonk as a Makcrx. Onr farmers
are greatly interested in determining which of
the numerous artificial manures now offering in
the market, are most valuable for-fertilizing .
purposes. It is only by experiments faithfully
tried, that satisfactory results can be reached.
Mr. William Chalfant, of TJnionville, this eonn-
ty, dropped into our office on Friday morning
last, and during a conversation upon the crops,
we incidentally learned from him Uuxt some 12
years ago he applied 1000 pounds of ground
bone, to the acre, upon one-half of a field of ten
acres. Upon the other half he applied ordinary
stable manure. For the first two years he saw
no perceptible Improvement In the crop where
the bone was applied, bnt after the lapse of that
period of time, the difference was quite percepti
ble. For the last six years it has constantly im
proved. The field is in with grass this year,
and on that portion where the bone was applied
the yield of hay is far superior to the other,
averaging something over three tons to the acre.
Here is something that is of great value to the
farmer. If the application of ground bone is as
permanent in its results as the experience of Mr.
Chalfant would seem to indicate, although it
commands $50 a ton, it is nevertheless by far
the cheapest manure that can be used. ITsrf

LMi-Rovrxo Seed Wheat. 1 writer in theifa-
ral Xew Yorker, who has been remarkably suc
cessful ia the cultivation of wheat as a farm
crop, says : It has been my practice for the last
eignteen years Jo run my wheat for seed over a .
very coarse seed screen, so as to sow none bnt
the very largest kernels. By so doing I have
improved my wheat so that I have sold nearly
all my wheat at home for setd. But 1871 1 hit
npon a new plan. I had a piece of Treadwcll
wheat that was injured by insects in the previous
fall and killed by freezing in the winter, so that
there were spots not worth cutting. Alter har
vest I observed a scattering heads of unusual
size. It occurred to me that there was wheat
that had withstood the ravages of the insects
and the rigor of the winter. I gathered enough
ts sow one rod square, from which I realized
twenty pounds of wheat, of unusually large,
even berry, which was at the ratio of over fifty
bushels per acre ; last harvest I had twenty
bushels which weighed sixty-six pounds per
bushel. It is my opinion that we realize the
best crops from the best and most perfect seed
in the vegetable as well as the animal kingdom.

Elderberry Bratot. I enclose to you a re
ceipt for making elderberry brandy. It will be
found a valuable remedy in cases of dysentery
and weakness, which so many persons suffer
with during the summer months:
Select the ripest elderberries yon can lad, snd
after picking them from the stems, to five quarts
of berries add two quarts of water, boil well ;
then mash and strain through eolaader. After
all the juice is extracted, add two quarts of Wa
ter, half an ounce of whole cloves, half an ounce
of whole allspice, two grated nutmegs, one table
spooniul of powdered ginger, one do. of cinna
mon, a little lemon and orange peeling. "Boil
ail well three hours over a slow fire, then add
five pounds of sugar; after cooling strain through
a flannel bag, then add two quarts of the best
Monongahela whiskey, or good brandy, accord
to taste.
The above will keep for years, and will be
found a wholesome drink and an excellent medi

C'lxasiso Kid Gloves During the warn
weather kid gloves are easily soiled, particularly
as the prevailing colors are quite light, and as it
costs some time and money to have them cleaned
at the dyer's, we let onr readers into the secret of
cleaning them at home, which ean be done just
as well as if paid for outside. Take a little
sweet milk and a piece of white or brown soap.
Fold a clean towel three or four times, spread it
over, jour dress and spread ont the glove smooth
ly upon It. . Take a large piece of white flannel,
dip it into the milk, then rub it upon the soap
and rub the glove downward toward the fingers,
holding the wrist of it by the left hand. Con
tinue this process until the glove, if white, looks
of a dingy yellow, bnt if colored looks dark and
entirely spoiled. Now let it dry and then put it
on your hand, and it will be soft, smooth, glossy
and clean. Take care, however, to omit no part
of the glove in rubbing it, and see that all the
soiled parts are thoroughly cleaned. This pro
cess sppliss only to white and colored kid gloves.
For black gloves that are soiled, turned white
and otherwise injured, take a teaspoonful of
salad oil, drop a few drops of ink into it, and
rub it all over the gloves with the tip ef a feath
er ; then let them dry in the sun. White kid
boots and slippers can also be cleaned by the
first process to look "as good as new," and
black kid boots and slippers can be restored to
their pristine gloss by the latter method.
