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. What's ther matter with !
you, anyhow r? j
'But, who ever beard of wheels to a cof
fin?' j
HJotfin 1' shrieked the dejected-looking j
youuz man. Cofiin I Now who the dick-'
ens 6aid anything about coffins ?' 1
Why, don't you want a coffin ?'
Nc-o 1 I want a cradle a trap to rock
my new baby in.
'And isn't your wife dead ?' .
'Not by a jugful. 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

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

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.'

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.

Cut and comb with taste the hair ;
Shampoo the head with soothing care,
And color the whiskers black or brown,
To suit the people about the town.

And not go past nor from around our shop.
To get shaved on the basis of ability nor as
some have done for our use of the ballot for prin

Digging Potatoes.
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."
