Moses's Wife. As I was paying pas
toral visits some years ngo, hi the State of
Tennessee, a lady said to me, 'I'm very
glad you've corns. I was reading iu the
Uible the other day about Mosus marrying
a nir2r, and I wish you would explain the
matter.'
'I don't ruad that way in the Hibta,' I re
plied : 'it reads that Mjsm married an
Ethiopian woman.'
'Well, doesn't that mean a nigger ?'
- 'I will tell you how it was,' I answered.
'There was a terrible war wac;ed by the
Ethiopians ngaiut the Explains, aud two
great armies sent from Eypl against them
had been destroyed. The Ethiopians were
governed by a magui limit queen, some
thins like SomiramU, who led out her own
armies, and who kuew liow to gain a vic
tory. Hut when Moses was sect with a
third Egyptain army a :iaiut her, he asked
the huipof God, aud managed so wisely that
the queen agreed to surrender her forces to
him, and becomo tributary to Egypt, pro
vided he would marry her.'
Well, said the old lad', ' rt.i tun It

There is current a so'd story of a
Scotch milk boy which may be of interest
in thess d iys of complaint about the adul
eratiou of milk. A boy delivering milk
was stopped the othcr4day by two detective
officers, who asked him if anything was put
into it.
'Ou, ay,' v. as the answer.
Thereupon th officers, thinking th-y had
a clear case, "ilfeied him a jn-nny if he
would tell them what.
Ah,' said be, with a grin, ye wndna
gie's the icuny though I tuli'tyc'
'(), yes, we will,' said the ollicers.
'iies't then,' returned the lad : and the
penny was bauded over with the question :
'Now, what do you put in the milk 'r'
'(),' said the boy, with a cunning look,
'I pit the measure in every lime I tak'
ony ool !'
That youth has a bright future Ix fore
him.
How Sin: it. In thu poliire court
iu the city of Chicago, a few weeks since,
a wife, thus ingeniously explained away
serious charges of harsh treatment of her
poor husband : 'One day when she was
running across the room with a fork in her
hand he jumped in the way and strnck his
wrist against the fork, wrenching it from
her grip by the prongs, which he ran into
his wrist. Tlieu he endeavored to strike
her, but she held up a pan of hot dishwater
between them, and he spilled it all over his
head. Then he got still more angry at this
accident, and started to jump at her, but
his head came against her hand, aud he
fell down, she took li d of his hair to
raise him up, and the hair was moistened
by il.e hot water, so that it came o.'T. Then
she saw it was no uv. to reason with him
any longer, so she left the house.'
The Wnot-K Loaf. A geutleman re
lates : Some years ince I boarded at a
hotel, the proprietor of which was a newly
nyrried man. The maiden name of his
epouse was Crumb. Immediately after
marriage, and when the hotel business
commenced, old lady Crumb, he daughter
Peggy, and her two sous, John Ike, re
gularly domiciled themselves within the
hospitable walls of the inn. The landlord
was a good natured, easy-going sort of a fel
low, Dot quite as smart as some folks ; but
one day he got off the following. Address
ing me, he said, 'Look a hayr, Sam, I'll Udl
you just how it is : when I got married I
thought I was getting a Crumb, but I'll
be hanged if I don't belcive 2 got the hull
loaf.'
At a reeent prayer-meeting of colored
leople at Erie, the decency and good order
of the meetiug being destoryed by a negro,
named Urown, whose prayers in public
were only Incoherent lavings, the pastor
inquired : 'What f ol uigga's dat prayiug'
down dar nea' de do' ?' A dozen people
replied with one voice : 'It am .Erudder
Brown, sab.' 'Den,' replied the pastor,
'Bruddor Erowu subside, au 1 let some
one pray dat's better' quinted wid le

An Odd Taste. 'Aud have you had
no other ion ?' asked a curious lady of a
bronzed old sea captain. 'Oh, yes, madam.
I had one that lived in the South Sea Is
lands for nearly a dozen years.' 'Itcallyl
Was he bred there, and what was his taste
the sea or the land ?' 'No, madam, he
wasn't bread, he was meat leastways the
natives ate hitrf : aud as for his taste the
chief said he tas'.ed of terCaeker."
Some on says if we would show our
selves really ood to our daughters we
'must be generous to them in a truer
sense than that of hunting trinkets on
their necks.' No words could be more
sensible. Xine giris out of ten would
rather have a camel's hair shawl thau a
necklace. Parents should remember this.
A maiikied mau, hearing that the eat
ing of certain kinds of animal food would
aid the same tissues of tlx human body as
for iustauce, calves brains would nourish
the eater' brains, or beefs liver the eater's
liver immediately gave strict orders at his
family market that no more tongue of any
kind be sold to his wid; or niother-iit-law.
A near-mmited and inquistive slander
kicked au ornamental dog on a street stoop
to see if it was olid or hollow. It was not
solely an ornamental dog, however, but
one that was there on business, and the
licui-sight'-d and inquisitive stranger is
now quarantiii'-d at hi hotel for a few
day.
Dakwiv acknowledged himself sold
wjieu his little niece asked him, seriously,
what a cat has that uo other animal bus.
He gave it up, after mature deliberation,
and the sly little puss answered ; 'Littens.'
When a Harrisburg woman chases her
boy with a Lioom, he runs down to the
river and jumps into the water. When he
comes out his face is washed ; his mother
docs not know him, aud he is safe.
.Josh Hillings says. Vu kaut liud con

imaginary place uot settled yet, aud those
reach it soonest who throw away their
compass and go it blind.

Dr. J. Walker's Caliiornia Vine-
par Hitters aro a purely Vegetable
E reparation, made chiefly from the natiro
erbs found on the lower ranges of the
Sierra Nevada mountains of California,
the medicinal properties of which are
extracted therefrom without the ase of
Alcohol. The question is almost daily
asked, " What is the cause of tho unpar
alleled success of YiSECAii Bitteks ? '
Our answer is, that they remove tho
cause of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health. They are the preat
blood purifier and a life-giving princi
ple, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in tho his
tory of the world has a medicine lxon
compounded possessing tho remarkable
qualities of Vixegar Bitteks in healing
the rick of every disease man ia heir to.
They are a pentlo Purgative ns well ns a
Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver and Visceral Organs ia Uilioaa
The properties of Dr. Walker's
Vinegar Hitters are -Apnricnt, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera
tive, and Anti-Bilious.
Grateful Thousands proclaim Vin
egar Bitters the most wondarful Invigor
ant that ever sustained the sinking system.
No Person can take these Bitters
according to directions, and remain long
unwell, provided their bones are not de
stroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and vital organs wasted beyond repair.
Bilious, Remittent, and Inter
mlttent Fevers, which are so prev
alent in the valleys of our great rivers
throughout the United States, especially
those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,
Illinois, Tennessee, Cumberland, Arkan
sas, Red, Colorado, Brazos, Kio Grande,
Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro
anoke, James, and many others, with
their vast tributaries, throughout our
entire country during tho Summer and
Autumn, and remarkably so daring sea
sons of unusual heat and dryness, are
invariably accompanied by extensive
derangements of tho stomach and liver,
and other abdominal viscera. In their
treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow
erful influenco upon these various or
gans, is essentially necessary. There is
no cathartic for the purpose equal to Db.
J. Walker's YrxEGAR Bitters, as
they will speedily remove the dark
colored viscid matter with which the
bowel3 are loaded, at the samo time
stimulating the secretions of the liver,
and generally restoring the healthy
functions of tho digestive organs.
Fortify the body against disease
by purifying all its fluids with Veteoar
Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of
a svstem thus fore-armed.
Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head
ache Fain in tho Shoulders, Coughs,
Tightness of tho Chest, Dizziness, Sour
Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in
the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation
of the Heart, Inflammation of tho Lnngs,
Pain in tho region of tho Kidneys, and a
hundred other painful symptoms, are
the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottlo
will prove a better guarantee of its
merits than a lengthy advertisement.
Scrofula, or King's En), White
Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled
Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous Inflammations,
Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial Affec
tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin,
Sore Eyes, etc., etc. In these, as in all
other constitutional Diseases, Walker's
VrsEGAR Bitters have shown their
great curative powers in tho most ob
stinate and intractable cases.
for Inflammatory ml Chronic
Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit
tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases
of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Blad
der, these Bitters have no equal. Such
Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood.
Mechanical Diseases. Persons en
gaged in Paints and Minerals, such as
Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters,
and Miners, as they advance in life, are
subject to paralysis of tho Bowels. To
guard against this, take a dose of Walk
er's Ytkegar Bitters occasionally.
For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet
ter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches. Spots, Pimples,
Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms,
Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch,
Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, Humors
and Diseases of the Skin of whatever nam
or nature, are literally dug up and carried
out of the system in a short time by the use
of these Bitters. .
Pin, Tape, and other Worms,
lurking in the system of so many thousands,
are effectually destroyed and removed. No
system of medicine, no vermifuges, no an
thehninitics will free the system from worms
like these Bitten.
For Female Complaints, in young
or old, married or single, at the dawn of wo
manhood, or the turn of life, these Tonic Bit
ters display so decided an influence that im
. provement is soon perceptible.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when
ever you find its impurities bursting through
the skin in Pimple?, Eruptions, or Sores;
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish ia the veins ; cleanse it when it is
foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep
the blood pure, and the health of tho system
will follow.

THE MERITS OF TOE 'GOLDEN TONGUE.'
UT A NEW JEI1PET BAUD TO BEATTT ASP PLOTTS,
WASHINGTON, N. i.
'Tis an sisre of invention, improvement and skill,
The world's in commotion, and notbin? is still ;
And progress in written wberever we tnrn
So ! "the ball i3 kept rolling," and each day we
learn
Of sonic new achievement in science or art ;
Each branch of iudnstry in fact claims a part.
So each is awarded a prize from the hands
Of n generous public as merit demands.
So niusiirs department can point, iu her pride,
To men of true genius, whose fame has gone
wide
O'er bi'.ls and through valleys, in mansions and
und cots.
Well, due are such honors to "JSeatly A PlotU,
Whose Golden Tongue organ stands first in the
kind
firxt ns 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 witucss, aud cheerfully one.
For eiual in workmanship, beauty, design,
Or finish, they challenge the best in the line.
Where faces were gloomy, and hearts once were
sad
What homes are uow cheerful yes, happy and
glad.
Continue thy mifsiou, thy song 'Golden Tongne,'
Hath chains of enchantment . for old and for
young.
Beatty & Plotts' celebrated Golden Tongne
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 iu favor of them, which go to
show that our instrument gives entire satisfac

Eably Tomatoes. Every year or to
we have new varieties of tomatoes intro
duced, said to be moch earlier than any
inai ever came before, and one would sun-
pose that withal the new improvements in
tne eariy direction something had really
been gained. "We have a rfcht to exnect
something surely, yewe think that on the
wnoie tne tomato Is no earlier than it ever
was. If there have been varioi.;.
than others, they have died out, and left
us just where we started from. Thirtv or
forty years ago the great effort was to have
tomatoes fit to eat on the fourth of Julv
This was the great particular time, and
any one succeeding in getting a good fair
quantity by this date, was regarded as
w uco Earueuern. rve are not
sure but this was regarded as a good test
, s i ?a . . .
ui ouo b tiuaimcations. At any rate, "will
you have ripe tomatoes by the fourth ?'
was the standing question with the million
in horticulture. And how is it now t Hoir
much earlier than by the fourth can uv
one about here have tomatoes ?' - We know
of none now more than in the time one
by.
One of our friends has made the tomato
question an especial study this season, col
lecting all the varieties he could kl mHv
and late. To his astonishment tha Mrii.f
w www As VO m
was the Trophy, and yet thouah it haa a
good reputation as a superior variety, it
has not been celebrated fot its earliness.
He does not think, however, it will always
be in ad vance. His theory ia that they are
never true on time, that what is the earli
est one seasou may not be at another, and
so on. now this may be we dont know,
but we think it will surprise many that the
Trophy should this year prove an extra
early kind, lie gathered his Trophies on
the twenty-first of July ; not just one or so,
but enough for his family dinner; and al
though this is not the fourth,' it is regard
ed here as pretty good for this particular
season, and pretty good for the Trophy we
buiDa at any rate. If ana one in thia vici
nity has been able to beat this fair and
square in the open ground, and not against
wails or other favored Dlaces. we should
like to know, and also the kind. If there
is really an extra early tomato we should
like to know what it is.
On our own premises, it is true, we ate
our first ripe tomato, only one. on the 19th.
and about every day since. On the 23d
we had a family stew of them. But we had
not a 'mess' until the 23d, aud therefore
cannot compete with our young friend.
Our variety is the Fiiii im Droved" at
least it is so-called. Germantoum Tele-

Clover. There is no crop raised on
the farm which tends more to the improve
ment of the soil than clover, and as a for
age crop it is equal to any other crop
under cultivation. Though it is more dif
ficult to make into hay than timothy or
herds grass, yet if any part is lost in mak
ing and gathering the clover hay, the soil
will receive the enriching deposit. Clover
will grow in almost any soil which is not
too wet, but its favorite is deep sandy
loam, in which the long tap root can pene
trate deep down. It borrows more of its
growth from the atmosphere than most
other crops. The tap root draws most of
its nourishment from the subsoil, and tbe
tops extract largely from the dew and the
atmosphere, thereby greatly enriching the
surface soil for wheat and timothy. A
good crop of clover in full blossom, tops and
roots, will sum np in weight between eight
and ten tons of green vegetable matter per
acre to plow nnder to enrich and mellow
the soil ; and where can be found a cheaper
manure to improve a heavy soil ? Lime
and clover are the cheapest means by which
to enrich the land for the growth of wheat.
Stable manure is decidedly the best, but it
is entirely too dear, and farmers must re
sort to other means to keep up the fertility
of their land.
. I have met with much success in raising
clover among oats, but the ground must be
well-cultivated to ensure a good growth of
clover. After the oats crop is sown and
well-harrowed, next pass over the field
with a draz to crush the clods and level
the ground. Tbe drag to be six feet long
with a block nailed on one of the hind cor
ners underneath, by which every 'bout'
will mark off a land twelve feet wide, which
is the right width to sow clover-seed at two
casts ; and after the clover is sown harrow
the ground to cover the seed.
To sow clover seed on winter-grain,
March is the right time when there is snow
on the ground. Take a span of horses to
a sled and mark the field off in lands of pro
per width to sow by ; then let the sowers
follow the sled. Clover can be sown much
evener on the snow than otherwise, be
cause you can see precisely whether yon
are sowing it even or not. In my opinion
clover is under-estimated by farmers, and
should be much more in cultivation than
is general. A clover lot near tbe pig-pea
can be cut four or live times during the
summer if not left go to blossom, and it
makes the most economical feed for swine ;
and if it is mowed down about the time the
blossom begins to form and slightly wilted
and free from dew and moisture and pack
ed away with sufficient salt, the hogs will
relish it as much in the winter season as
cattle, and it makes good feed for sows and
pigs. Cor. Oemumtoicn Telegraph.
