Old Grimes' Still Livks.- -A senUe
man who has aa eye and an car for the
humorous writes from his North Carolina
plantation as follows : Last night a little
incident happend, my wife said I must tell
you all about. It was weighing up the
pickers1 cotton so as to pay them for their
day's work. I had about CO hands at work,
and all cams in quite early except about
twenty. About dusk there came in an 'old
dark and put his banket on the scales. I
was a little mad, being kept so late, so I
said : '.What is your name ?' 'Grimes,
sir; Old Grimes.' 'What,' said I, I
thought Old Grimes was dead Ions' ago.1
'No, child, said he, dat was my fodder,'
fmind you, this old fellow was about feven-ty-five.)
I said, 'any more pickers in tho
fields yet ?' 'Yes sir, some of my children,
dey will be heah directly, child,' so on ibey
came ; I asked each, 'What is your name?'
Each lime it was 'Grimes; dat yar old
man is my fodder.' Eighteen times I g;l
that reply ; then said I, 'Old man are all
these children the fruit of your loins?' 'No,
child,' said he, 'dey don't cat fruit, only
corn bread, and sometimes poke, wheu de
good Lord gives it to us.' You did not
understand me, uncle, I mean are all these
children your own ?' 'Blees you, yes,
honty, and one at the ole woman's bieitst,'
was the ready answer. So you see, after
all, Old Grimes still lives.
Stbanoe 'Cattle.' A few years ago,
when the cattle plague was at its height,
and no cattle could be removed without a
liceuse, a man called upon the clergyman
of his parish, who was privileged to grant
and asked for a license. The minister was
out, but his daughter who officiated in his
absence, weut to the man. There were
several questions that had to he answered
as, "Where was the animal to be taken
loTf Where did it come from, and when?
And what description of beast was it
milch cow, steer, heifer, Ac.?' all of which
the man answered satisfactorily, until the
young lady asked, 'Of what sort U it '
when the fellow began to titter. Much
vexed at what she thought was impudence
oo his part, she said very sharply, I can
not let you have the license uutil you tell
mo of what sort it is.' To het astonish
mcnt he answered, as well as his amuse
ment would allow him, 'Why, it's a wo
man!' The stupid fellow had come for a
marriage certificate, in order to be married
in another parish, not a license, as he
thought such were called.
Sleighing with a Girl. Of all the
joys vouchsafed to man in life's tempestu
ous whirl, there's naught approaches heav
en so near as tleighiug with a girl a rosy,
laughing, buxom girl, a frank, good na
tured, honest girl, a feeling, flirting, dash
ing, doting, emiling. smacking, jolly, jok
ing, jaunting, jovial, poser poking, dear
little duck of a girl. Pile up your wealth
a tuouulain high, you sneering, scoffing
churl 2 I'll laugh as 1 go by with my jing
ling bells and girl the brightest, dearest,
sweetest girl, the trimmest, gayest, neatest
girl, the funniest, fiushicst, frankest, -fairest,
roundest, ripest, roguinhest, rarest,
spunkiest, spiciest, squirmiest, squarest
best of girls, without droopiug lashes, half
concealing, love provoking, amorous lashes
just the girl fur a chsp like me to court,
and love, and marry you see, with rosy
cheeks" clustering curls, the sweetest and
the best of girls.
'Touch Hek East. A youth in Head
ing who had a practical turn for jok
ing, recently tried to impose upon an honest
lager beer vender by leading a mule into his
saloon, and leading him to the bar as if for
a drink. Mynherr looked steadily at the
pair for a few minutes, as if collecting his
stray wits, and then broke out as follows :
'See here, Vjnce, I know vat dis is here
your own brudder but bo is von you call
a minor. lie is too much young to drink
his glass lager ; it is not for de law in no
place, nor in it my saloon. He look like
you ; you may be one family, as you call
it ; but if efl'eryou bring dot young brudder
here again. I will tell you old fader chack
ass of you both. Now you must go out
mil yourself.
AN Inbclted Haiden. The Iowa
Register tells a good story of actual occur
rence, as follows : 'In one of our Walnut
street dry goods houses is employed a
young man of deminutivc stature and
somewhat feminine appearance, although a
tip-top talesman and clerk. One day, uot
long since, a little girl was sent to the store
to make soie purchases, and it fell to the
lot of this young man to attend her. She
was a mere bunch of feminity, uot able to
talk plain. She asked if he had any 'totten
CanneL' He replied that he had, and ask
ed how much she wanted. 'I don't kaow.
was the reply. 'Well, what do you want
it for?' said tho clerk. 'Want to make
papa a shirt.' WcI3,how big is your papa;
is he as big as me ?' 'Big as you ?' said
the maiden, 'I dese he is ; he wouldn't be
much of a papa if he wasn't'
Yestkudat, while some negro steamboat
men were being paid o!T, the clerk inquired
of each one as he came to sign the pay-roll,
'Will you write your name or make au X '"
The Grst one said he could write his name,
and the pcu was handed to him. He look
ed at the pen, scrutinized the pay-roll, and
hesitated so long that the clerk poked him
tip. 'Let me 6ee,' mused the darkey, as he
looked up at the clock; 'it's now tcu o'chx-k,
and as I've got to meet a feller at the City i
Hall at noon I guess I won't write my J
name, but I'll put down an X.' Tktroit
F.-'t Prefjf. I
A MONTANA paper thinks tlitre is an
awful fuss being made over tue Beccher
trial 'Why,' it says,' 'right out here is Hill
Casey. lie went into a family, married
one girl, spoiled "Bother, and h:ts run away
with the third; and yet there is no it ial,
nu statement, no nothing, ouly just the old
tuan with a rifle looking around after Bill.'
A 1TNSV story is to!d of two Vermont
farmer, who are not Grangers. They in
duced their wives to join and rejiort before
thev would commit themselves. Now.
when they will, they can uot. Two black
balla greet every application. Meanwhile
the wives go regularly and triumphantly
to every grange meeting, aud the iwn stay
at home and tend the babies.
Xot a bad story comes from the Savage
Clu Loudon, but it does not eectu clear
who first made (lie joke. A 'Savat' was
standing ou the steps at Evan's Hotel,
Covcnt Garden, whero the club is now lo-
cated, when a geotlemau who catne up to
lilm and asked him If there was a jCntlc -
man with oue eye named Walker' in the
, , (, . . . , , ,o
club. 'I don t know,' renpondcd '.Savage;'
'what was Use name of his other eye ?'
AFTER long suffering 'Our Jim' his
came to Ibo couclusion that he'd rather

Tallow for Gapes. A correspondent of the
Fieid sajs : "One day I noticed a flock of eleven
pure bred Creve-Cojur chickens very bad with
what is called 'gapes.' I remarked tit the man
who bad them in charge that he would not have
many chickens out uf that lot. Oh, never mind,
s;iid he, 'I have got a cure for ti.etn from a
neighboring woman, which is a common half
penny tallow cand e melted and mixed into
About a quart of oat meal stir about.' The reme
dy was reiMirted to and ihe Creve-Coeurs hare
everyone te"vered and grown into finely de
veloped chickens. " I have since tried this cure
with invariable success on Brahmas, Dorkings,
Ac."
IIOIKEIIOLD.
Dio Lewis' Receipt fok a Bed. Of the eight
pounds which a man eats aud drinks la a day it
is thought thai not less than five pound leave
his body through tbe skin. And of these five
pounds a considerable per cent age escapes dur
ing the night while in bed. The larger part f
this is water, but in addition there Is much effete
and poisonous matter. This, being in great part
gaseous in form, permeates every part of the
bed mattress, blankets, as well a sheets soon
become foul and need purification. Thematress
needs this renovation quite as much as sheets.
To allow the sheets to be used without washing
or changing three or six months would be re
garded as bad housekeeping, but I insist, if a
thin sheet ran abtorb enough of these poisonous
excretions of the body to make it unfit for a use
in a few days, a thick mattress, which can ab
sorb and retain a thousand times as much of the
poisonous excretions, peeds to be purified as often
certainly as once in three months. A sheet can
bs washed. A mattress cannot be renovated In
this way. Indeed, there is no other way of
cleaning a mattress but by steaming it or pick- .
in 2 it to pieces, and thus ia fragments exuosiuar
il to the direct rays of the sun. As these pro
cesses are scarcely practicable with any of the
ordinary mattresses, I am decidedly of tbe opin
ion that tbe good, old-fashioned straw bed, which
cau every three mouths be exchanged for fresh
straw, aud the tick washed, is the sweetest and
healthiest of beds. If, in the winter season, the
porousness of the straw bed makes it a little un
comfortable, spread over it a comforter of two
wooleu blaukcts, which should be washed aa
often as every two weeks. With this arrange
ment, if you wash all the bed coverings as often
as once iu one or two weeks, yon will have a de
lightful, healthy bed. Now, if you leave the
bed to air with open windows during the day,
and not make It up for the night before evening, '
you will have added greatly to lha sweetness of
your rest, and in consequence to the tone of your
health. I heartily wish this good change could
be everywhere introduced. Only those who
have thus attended to this important matter can
judge of its influence on the general health and
spirits.
