t IIb Vantd a. Cradle, hot a Cof fik. He came into the office of a West End undertaker yesterday with a look of great care on his honest face. His eyes were heavy and slightly bloodshot, telling of nightly vigils and loss of sleep. His hair was unkempt and shagpy. The soft-hearted man of coflius looked upon Lis visitor with a look full of pity and thankfulness pity for the customer's loss and thankful uess for his patronage. He was so J'1ng to be hurdeued with the loss of a ear oue by death. The manufacturer of briai case6 nodded a sileut ascent aud condoling recognition ; the young map from the country said : How d'ye ? Then ensued a painful si lence broken at length by the man of grave business. Can I do anything for you to-day, Sir ?' 'TTall I recon so, strauger !' Another sileuce. Once more the under taker began by suggesting : Your sh ier ?' The young man stared a moment, then as a light gradually broke upon his per plexed niiud. he smiled a smile more sug gesstive of sorrow than happiness and replied ; Xo my wife." 'Sudden ?' No expected su'thun' of the kind for several mouths. When did it happeu ?' 'Bout 4 o'clock this morning.' 'Looks natural ?' 'Rather.' (Spoken carefully, and ex pressive of some doubt.) 'About what do you want the cost of it to be?' 'Don't care for expense ; get it up kinder nice. I'll treat her handgun), cause she is the first one I ever bad.' Very well my friend ; you'll have it liued with white satin, 1 suppose ?' 'Jest as you say, stranger.' 'Silver headed screws, too, I suppose.' Ta-a-s, I s'pose so. An, stronger jest put a bully top to it.' Oh, of course ; and you'll want a glass in it, also I suppose ?' 'Y-a-a- Oh certainly you bet. Git her up sniptious, you know, old fellow. None of dratted one-horse fixins for me. No Sir'ee.' 'Jnst so. Silver handles, of course ?' j Eh ? What's that you say, strauger 1 silver handles ? Oh duru it, now, won't ; that be pillin' it on hefty like ?' I kin stand silver screws and sich, but there's no use makin' the hull tarnation trap of silver. The thiog has to be moved, and must have handles, but I ain't quite so stuck up $s j mat now not quite, stranger.' 'Very well.' asquiesced the ijwub of oh-1 sequies, 'I'll put ordinary handles to it j then ?' i 'Eggs-actly them's 'cm, mister; dow yor talking Or'nary haudles '11 do,. But, say stranger (reflectively), make the wheels "listen like thunder. Whwh wheels?' j 'Va, wheels.

Don't yer make cra dles for sale ?' 'So, my friend. I am an undertaker.' 'Undertaker of what ?' 'I make coffins.' t 'Oh, Lord, let me ketch the fellar that sent rue here !' And the grief stricken youth crammed his Lat ever his eyes, ran his hand deep down in the pockets of his trowsers, and pounced out on the streets searching for vengeance. Cincinnati Inquirer. A Dog Tiiat was Churned. Down in Burks county, Penn., lately, a good housewife, churning on the green sward in front of the house, went away for a mo ment, impudently leaving off the lid. At that moment the poodle dog, Fouto, hap pened along, and jumping on the top of tlie churn, took an observation of the tempting conteuls. To smell was to taste; to taste was to devour ; to devour was to diminish the quantity in the vessel : until, in his eagerness for just a little more, plump went l'onto down into the churn, there to feed and flounder in the butter milk. Alas ! when the good dame came back she put on the lid without delay, aud began to turn the crank. The most in credulous reader may well believe that things were most lively for that poodle Fouto. It is probable that he acquired a distaste for butter during the fifteen minutes churning to which he was subjected. At the expiration of that time the woman in serted her hand and pulled out Heavens ! What a lump of butter ! But did butter ever 'squirm' in any body's hands before ? It was a mystery ; it was a miracle ; it was a sign aud a token ; and Betz ran off to tell her husband that the butter lump was alive. lie, too, came, and having examin ed, remarked : 'Mine gracious, Betz, sis i forhoilich unsa clay bundle Fonlo I' We don't know what this means : perhaps Ponto, being a Dutch dog, did. We Mem Pojxr. A certain young man in this vicinity serenaded his lady love a few evenings since. He sang, Tis but a Little Faded Flower.' Her father raised the window, and told him to lay it on the doorstep, and she would get it in the morninz. How doth the little pig improve each shining hour, and gather sausages all day from every opening flower t And when Jhe shades of twilight fall, he slumbers in in .'is sty, or sings his pretty evening hymn, 'Jtoot, little pig, or die.' 'PnETTV bad under foot, to-day,' said one citizen to another, as they met in the j-lrcet the other day. ' 'Yes, but it's fine over head,' responded the other. 'True enough,' said the fir9t, 'but then very few are going that way.' A bashful young clergyman recently, ris ing to preach for the first time, made a ter rible mix of it, and annouueed his text in this rrise : 'And immediately the cock weft, and Peter went out aud crew bitter ly.' 'AN Irishman" was once standing before a looking glass with his eyes shut, and on being asked why he stood there, replied : I'm afu-r seeing how I look when I'm aslope.' Somerody has written a book entitled, What Shall My Sou Be ?' Upon which pome one else frankly replies : 'if the boy is us the book the chances are thru lie will lie hanged.' A gentleman who had a scolding wife, in answer to an inquiry after her health, said she was pretty well, only subject at times to a 'breaking out in the mouth.' A minister who came into church dur ing a sudden shower, requested another to preach for him, as he was very wet. No,J said the other, 'preach yourself; you will dry enough in the pulpit.'

Sunbury, Dec. 4,1874. lit!! X oya- .n: tir f v Dr. J. Walker's California Vine gar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs found on the lower ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, the medicinal properties of Tvbich are extracted therefrom without the use of Alcohol. The question is almost daily asked, " What is the cause of the unpar alleled Buccess of Vinegar Bitters i Our answer is, that they remove the' cause of disease, and the patient recov ers his health. They arc the great blood purifier and a life-giving princi ple, a perfect Renovator and Iavigorator of the system. Never before in the his tory of the world lias a mediciue been compounded possessing the remarkable qualities of Vinegar Bitters in healing tie nick of every disease man i.s heir to. They are a pentle Purgative a well as a Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organ in Iiilioas Diseases. Tbe properties of Dr. Walker's Vinegar. JJittebs are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative, .Nutritious, Laxative. Diuretic, Sedative, Counter-irritant. Sudorific, Altera tive, and Anti-IMHou. Gratefal Thousands proclaim Vin egar Bitters the most wondsrful Invigor ant that ever sustained the sinking system. )To 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 mittent 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, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Ro anoke, James, and many others, with their vast tributaries, througholft our entire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of unusual beat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera. In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Db. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy functions of the digestive organs. 4 Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Head ache, Pain in the Shoulders, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation" of the Ueart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofula, or King's Evil, 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' Vinegar Bitters have shown their great curative powers in the most ob stinate and intractable cases. For Inflammatory and 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 the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of Walk er's Vinegar Bitters occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tet ter, Salt-Rbenru, Blotches, Spots. Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-worms, Scald-head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discoloration of the Skin, Humors and Diseases of tho Skin of whatever name or nature, are literally dog tip and carried ont of the system in a short time by the use of these Bitters. Fin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no on thelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters. 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 on influence that im provement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood when ever vou find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eruptions, or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins ; cleanse it when it is foul ; your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. 11. II. JIcDO.VALD ib CO., Drujrirists nud Gen. Ajrts San Francisco, California, and cor. of Wasbinirtun aad fhnrltun St.. N. Y.

A soldier on furlongh, and Just convalescent, Sought a job to supply him with cash for the present. And promised a farmer to dig op a patch Of potatoes with faithfulness, care and dispatch, A bottle of whisky, his tpirft to stir, Was given to Bob as a sort of a spur, Which bottle with many a copious pull, He emptied, and left the potato bills full, W bile he with some difficulty held by a stump, Saluting it oft with a vigorous thump, Some hours bad elapsed ; his employer returned, And said, while his bosom indignantly burned, "You insolent rascal, you slave of the jug, Not a single potato, you sot, have you dug !" "Potatoes!" said Bob, with a stammeringtongne, "If you want your potatoes dug, fetch 'em along Mfst Drain to Sccceed About three-fourths of the complaints that reach us of the misbe havior of fruit trees, and the failure of vegetable crops, and the unsatisfactory blooming of roses and many other things, have one common origin the want of drainage. We see people laboring away at the surface, raising the level by additions of soil, manuriug liberally, remov ing plants that have not prospered, and planting others in hope of better luck ; and we can tell them, when all is done, that until they secure the first essential of success 4 rapid removal of surplus water there can be no success to their efforts, manure and plant as they may. At this time of year you have but to open a hole one spade deep, and in less than ten minutes that bole will be filled with water, which proves that the whole surface soil is saturated, and that any eavity, tunnel, or opening would immediately draw off the surplus water, according to the ca pacity of the opening, and that therefore very simple and inexpensive means would suffice to enable the soil to get rid of the water which is .in excess o( Us power of absorption. A two or three inch pipe, laid nt a regular fall at about three feet beneath the surface, will effectually drain a breadth from twenty to one handred feet' in width, according to tbe nature of the soil aud its relative level. Generally speaking, the diains should be three feet deep and twenty-four feet apart. In districts where there is any apprehen sion of the disturbance of tbe drains by moles, one inch pipe should be used. Ou Very flat land a fall in one of fifty will suffice to keep the water moving ; but a rapid full is preferable if tbe out let is low enough Uf admit of it, as in times of sudden heavy rainfall, a quick removal is very desirable. Of course we can not here enter into the details of the subject ; but as this is a good time to drain land that requires it, we again re mind our readers that good drainage promotes the warmth and fertility of the soil ; aud, on the other hand, a water-logged soil is almost poison ous to every kind of plants that come under tbe care of gardeners. Gardener Magazine. Is-Dooh Ccltctie of Tomatoes. The London Gurdtner Chronicle describes a method of rais ing tomatoes within doors which it says has been successful aud is worthy of general adop tion. The seed is sown about Christmas, and by the first week in March the plants are set out against tbe back wall of the lean-to vineries, in a good compost, with ample root-room. Here they make a rapid and vigorous growth, and In the course of the season attain to a height of from 10 to 13 feet, and produce successional crops of fruit with great profusion until past Christmas. In this manner early and late toma toes are obtained from the same plants. As a matter, of course, tbe plants can hardly be kept too moist, and a good dressing of crushed bones is occasionally given. The border in which tbe tomatoes are planted Is only about 15 inches In width. Tbe plants must be well fed, but the wonderful crops they bear is the best testimony to the advantage of a liberal treatment. The weight of fruit obtained from one plant In a season is something remarkable and many of them attain a great size. Ten Rcles fob Farmers. 1. Take good papers and read them. 2. Keep an account of farm operations. 3. Do not leave implements scattered over the farm, exposed to snow, rain and heat. 4. Repair tools and buildings at a proper time, and do not suffer subsequent three-fold expndi. ture of the same meney. 5. Use money judiciously, and do not attend auction sales to purchase all kinds of trumpery because It is cheap. 6. See that fences are well repaired, and eattle not grazing in the meadows, or grain fields, or orchards. 7. Do not refuse to make experiments, In a small way, of many new things. 8. Plant fruit trees well, care for them, and of course get good crops. 9. Practice economy by giving stock shelter dnring the Winter ; also good food, taking out all that is unsound, half rotten or mouldy. 10. Do not keep tribes of cats aad snarling dogs around tbe premises, which eat more in a. month than they are worth iu a lifetime. Feeding Cattle and Hogs Together. A correspondent of St. Henry, Ohio, in the Wtttrn Sural, replies to the inquiry, "What Ails Our Cattle V as follows : "A farmer near this place had also a queer disease iu bis caitle, and. ae he solved it at last I will tell you what the people think it was. Mr. R-, of this place, bad a lot of cattle, and be also fed them in the turn yani with some bogs, and they (the cattle) died one after another, until an old farmer told Mr. K. . not to feed bis cattle and bogs together iu the same place. Mr. R. separated the hogs and cat tle, and that stopped tbe disease." HOUSEHOLD. Gkiddli Cakes. Scald as much Indian meal as you think sufficient, add salt and stir until smooth, not too stiff to put on with a spoon, though molding wiib wet bands makes the cakes more shapely. Split, butter and serve hot. We sometimes add stewed pumpkin to the batter, and enjoy what we call pumpkin cakes. During tbe cold weather it seems tardly worth while to have much stale bread or biscuit on hand, as most folks want some kind of hot cakes, especially buckwheat for breakfast, and with a little sugar stirred In they brown very nicely. Mush. We sometimes boil mush for supper and put away a good crock full for future use. For breakfast put a generous lump of good but ter in a pan on tbe stove ; when well melted am pretty hot put in some cold, broken-up mush beat rapidly, stirring frequently, and when tho roughly hot serve on a hot disb and you'll find il exceeding good. Do not make tbe mush tot- stiff when boiling it. We prefer it to the frie. slices. Apple-Ptdtosg. One pint of bread crumbs soaked well and soft in a quart of milk, with two or three well-beaten ei;gs and one or two apples chopped fine ; stir all together and bake in buttered pans. Wine dip with it. German tottn Telegraph. To Make Boots Durable. The durability tbe soles of boots and shoes may be greatly it creased by coating them with gum copal varnisl, which also has the effect of making them watei proof. Four or five coats should be given, as lowing each coat of varnish to dry before the succeeding one is applied. Soles thus treated possesses twice the usual durability, and gener ally outlast tbe best uppers. The leather uppeff of boots or shoes may be rendered soft and water proof by rubbing into them while warm befon the fire a mixture composed of four ounces o bog's fat and one ounce of rosin. To Cleanse Carpets. Put four tablespoon fuls of ammonia to one bucketful of water, will soap, scrnbbing-brush and cloth ; scrub and wasl the carpet just as yon would an unpainted floor changing the water frequently. Leave the win dows open and the. carpet will soon dry. I: cities where bituminous coal is used, carpets a scrubbed as regularly as wooden floors, and wr happy effects. Instead of taking up a carr every six weeks during the winter, as some muddy districts think necessary, a careful wipin every week of the caipet, with a mop w run from clean water will remove the dust an brighten the colors. A thorough sweepin should precede tbe wiping up. How to Cum Frostbitten Feet. A writ In the New York Jrwrul says : "While workic in tbe shop I frjie my feet very badly. Before went to bed I bad some much made out of coi meal. 1 then took some tea and poured on bo' iug water just enough to cause the leaves to a fold. After putting the mush on a piece of clot I lay on it the tea leaves, and bound the wbc over the frosted parts. Doing tbis for two nigs the frost was all drawn out."
