Wrr and Justice in Missouri. It is
well known tbat some of tlic judges in
Missouri were very reluctant to euforce the
law against the ministers of the gospel for
exercising their profession without having
taken the test oath, and availed themselves
of every pretence to discharge those who
were accused. We tell the following as
told to us, vouching tor nothing :
Three ministers, charged with the crime
of preaching Vthe glorious gospel of the Sou
of God," were arraigned before a certain
judge. They were regular!- indicted, and
it was understood that the proof against
them was very clear.
Are you a preacher ?' said the judge to
one of them.
Yes. sir,' replied the tu'prit.
To what denomination do you belong ?'
I am a Christian, sir.' (With dignity.)
4 A Christian ! What do you mean by
that ? Are not all preachers Christians ?'
'I belong to the sect usually called, but
wrongly called, Canipbcllites.' (Not so
much dignity.)
Ahl Then you believe in baptizing
people, in order that they may be born
again, do you
I do, sir' Defiantly.)
'Mr. Sheriff, discharge that man ! He is
an inuocent man ! He is indicted for
preaching the goiel, and there is not a
word of gospel in the 6tuff he preaches ! It
is only some of Alexander Campbell's non
sense. Discharge the man !'
Exit Carabellite, greatly rejoicing.
Are you a preacher V said the judge ad
dressing ihe second criminal.
'I am, sir,' 6aid the miscreai't.
Of what denomination are you ?'
'I am a Methodist, sir.' (His looks
showed it.)
Do you believe in falling from grace ?'
'I do 6ir.' (Without hesitation.)
41). you believe iu sprinkling people in
stead of baptizing them 1"
'I believe tbat people can be baptized by
sprinkling.' (Much oflended.)
'Do you believo in baptizing babies ?'
It is my opinion, sir, that infants ought
to be baptized,' (Indignautly.)
'Not p. word of Scripture for anything of
the kind, sir !' shouted his Honor. 'Mr.
Sheriff turn that man loose ! He is no
preacher of the gospel ! The gospel is truth,
and there is not a word of truth in what
that man teaches 1 Turn him loose 1 It is
ridiculous to indict men on such frivolous
pretences ! Turn him loose !'
Methodist disappears, not at all hurt in
his feelings by the judicial abuse he had re
ceived. What arc you, sir?' said the judge to
the third felon.
'Some people call roe a preacher, sir.'
(Metkly.)
What is your denomination ?'
I am a Baptist.' (Head up.)
His Honor's countenance fell, and he
looked 4ober and after a pause he said :
'Do you believe in salvation by grace ?'
'I do.' (Firmly.)
Do you teach that immersion only is
baptism ?
'That is my doctrine.' (Earnestly.)
'And you baptize none but those who
believe in Jesus Christ V
That is my faith and practice. (With
emphasis.)
'My friend, I fear it will go hard with
you. I see you are indicted for preaching
the gospel, and it appears to me that by
vour own confession von :'" .
May it please your Honor,' said the
Baptist's counsel, springing to his feet,
'that man never preached the gospel. I
have heard him say a hundred times that
he ouly trlol. I have heard him try my
self.' 'Mr. Sheriff, discharge this man ! He is
not indicted for trying ! There is nothing
said about the mere effort ! Let him go,
sir ! I am astonished that the State's at
torney should annoy the court with frivol
ous indictments !'
Exit Baptist, determined to 'try' again.
Court adjourned for 'licker.1
Two men had a quarrel in a public
house. They adjourned outside to settle
the dispute. The first man seized a stone
and let fly at the head of his opponent, who
dipped, aud the stnue went through an cx-jK-'nsive
plale-ghiM window, doiug much
damage. An Irish magistrate was called
upon next morning to determine which of
the two should pay the cost. The evidence
clearly showed that the aim was a good
ne. Add that if the second man had not
dipjied his head he would have been struck.
Therefore, ' said the .magistrate, 'he must
pay the damages, as it is certain the first
man did'nt intend to injure the window,
aud the window would not have been in
jured if it had not been for the act of the
second t:i:in.'

JK) ou i:it;iiil t. iuLttcMlt your house V j
inquired a U,ot;r lady friend of mine !
w h was building. He was a critical cul
tured 2!W Englatidcr, an exact as witty.
What a droll look cainc over his face as he
aintwered :
My wif.; Bays I tat like au anaconda,
aud I atu bussed with the digestion of an
ostrich ; but, really, rnadaru, I don't think
I could hardly mauage my three-story
brick,'
This makes me think of Leigh Hunt's
reply (not at all inalaprojihy) to a lady who
said to hitu at dinner :
ilr. "JIuut, won't you venture ou an
orange ?'
'I would, most gladly, dear madam, only
I'm atraid I should tumble off.'
Mrs. Partington. --Mrs. Partington
is considered a mythical person 'evolved'
from the brain of Mr. Shillaber, but her
counterparts are often found in real life.
One of these ladies was overheard at an
evening assembly speaking in high praise
of a pretty girl just passing.
'Why, 6he is a perfect paragram, of a
young litdy !' '
'I tbiuk you mean parallelogram ; do you
not?'- suggested the waggish gentleman
addressed.
'I m'kI parallelogram, Mr. exclaim
ed the lady, with a combination of dignity
and indignation impossible to describe.
Cold Courting. Saturday morning at
four o'clock the police fouud a iiors and
cutter comiug iu from the country on the
Tont'iac road, with the driver 60 nearly
frozen that he was lopped over on the seat
unconscious. He was taken to the station
and they thawed him out after an hour or
to. When he could speak he asked :
'Sergeant, will I live?'
Oh, yea, I guess so,' was the answer.
Well, I'm sorry,' mused the young man.
'I wanted to die, so that they could put on
my tombstone, 'Here lies one who was fool
enough to ride twenty-six miles to spark a
red-haired girl !'
'Only eleven cents for the heathen !'
exclaimed a Georgia colored minister;
'give it back, brudder Jones de Lord

KIDNEY COMPLAINT.
Probably there is no complaint that afllicis the
human system, which is so little understood at
the present time, as some of the varied forms of
Kidney Complaints.
There is no disease which causes such acute
pain or more alarming iu its results than when
the kidneys fail to secrete from tlic blood the
uric acid, and oilier posionous substances, which
the blood accumulates in its circulation through
the system.
If from any cause the kidneys fail to perform
the functions devoWiug upon them, the elimina
tions are taken up by the absorbents and the
whole system thrown into a state of disease,
causing great paiu and suffering, and very often
immediate death. Ilenec the importance of
keeping the kidneys and blood in a healthy con
dition, throngh which ail the impurities of the
body must pass.
PAIN IN THE BACK.
There Is no remedy known to medical science
which has proved itself more valuable iu cases
of Kidney Complaints thau the VroETisn. It
acts directly upon the secretions, cleaness aud
pnrifles the blood, ana restores the whole system
to healthy action.
The following extraordinary cure oi great pui
ferers. who had been iriven up by the best phy
sicians as hopeless cases, will epeak for tbem-
sclvcs, end should challeuge tue mosi proiou
oti.iiti.m nf th medical facultv. as well as of
those who arc guttering from Kiduey Complaint.

badly alllieted with Kidney Complaint for ten
years ; have suffered treat pain in my back, hips

which was often, and in very small quantities,
frequently accompanied with blood and excru
tiating pain.
1 1irv f:iithfullv tried most of the popular re
medies recommended for my complaint ; I have
been uuder the treatment of some of the most
skillful physicians in Boston, all of whom pro
mim.rt iiiv cjise incurable. This was my coudi-
dition when I was advised by a friend to try the
Vf.cf.tine, and I could 6ee the good effects from
the tirst dose 1 took, and from that momeut I
kent on improving until I was entirely cured,
taking in all. should think, about six bottles.
It is indeed a valuable medicine aud if 1 should

tained great relief. After using four or Dve bot

rouith, scaly blotches on my body and legs. I
still used Veof.tine and the humorous sores one

Tub California Farmer recommend the rais
ing of fast walking horses, in preference to fast
trotters. A flnt rate fast walking horse, will
p'ow 25 to 33i per cent, more land in a day, and
do it easier than an ordinary bred horse, and
thus such a horse would soon pay his eost ; such
a class of horses would command a very large
price.
Epercise or Asimals. An exprienced farm
er says that in all schemes for feeding animals
in yards and stables, instead of allowing them
to get their own good in woods or pastures,
there is one thing lost sight of, namely, the ne
cessity of physical exercise in order to have the
beet of health. We know how it Is with men and
women who do not exercise enough, and it ia
true of animals. They need something to eat,
and the wise man is he who finds his animals ex
ercise as well as food.
Salt roB Asparagcs. Salt has the power of
rendering soil meister than it otherwise would
be. In dry sandy soils, a moisture loving plant
like Asparagus, is benefitted by its use. In a wet
soil, or in a wet season; there is little good from
it. No great quantity is used, say about a pound
to a square rod. It is surprising that those who
have garden ground in ruther dry places or ex
posed to dry seasons, do not make use of salt as
a manure oftener than they Uo. .
Oksamestaj. Hedqks. We notice In maay
places the mistake which a male In planting
arbor-vit and and hemlock hedges in front
yards, gardens, lawns, fcc, almost side by side
with large spruces, maples and other trees. If
those who indulge in the idea of having a pre
sentable hedge at all by this proximity would
just look around and see the failures on every
hand where this mistake hub been made, they
would see the disappointment in store for them.
It should be remembered that the aibor-vilses
will not thrive where there is much shade ; and
that neither the arbor-vitx nor hemlock spruce
will be successful where tbe substance of the
soil is all eaten up by the roots of lafe trees.
Hemlock spruce likes shade to a moderate ex
tent, with a moist, loose, rich soil ; bat the ar-
bor-vitse must have the latter and ml the sua
possible.
Ia selecting plants of either of these, Bee tbat
they are well-branched from the bottom, as no
new branches ever shoot out after the plants are
large enough to set out. The soil about them,
to the extent of the branches, should be kept
light with careful stirring, and should be mulch
ed for the first two years. These hedge should
never be prened until late lu April, alter all
danger of severe frost b over. Some which
were pruned early last month, before the late
revisitalion of observe are badly hutt, and it
will take them the whole season to recover.
Germantovn Ttlegrajih.
Plastisg Coks. A few years ago almost
every farmer was anxious to get his corn plant
ed the last week in April, or at least the first
week in May. One of the principal reasons for
this was that it was less liable to be injured by
tbe grub and wire-worm on account of its early
growth. Another was that iu case of the seed
rotting or the plant being damaged from any
cause, there would be plenty of time to replant.
A trial of this method has not resulted success
fully'as it ia found that early-planted com is
frequently delayed in sprouting by unfavorable
weather ; and when it does make its appearance
it is yellow and stunted, and sometimes does not
recover. V uereas, ny planting iroin tue team
to the twentieth of May the ground ia sure to
be warm and adapted to early gernianation,
grain starts to sprout at once and comes up
strougand healthy. To combat eneiaies, sis
grains should be placed in each bill, and then,
should the plants escape injury from the grub
aud wire-worm by the use of salt placed around
the hill, after the corn is up, remove the planta
above three. Again, farmers are beginning to
put their bills closer iu the row, and with the
increased number of grains to each hill, they
seldom are disappointed of a good crop, If well
attended to.
We have known a good crop -of Dutton corn
to be realized when planted far in June. One,
indeed, within a-quarter of a mile of this office,
was planted on the 2t)th of tbe mouth, and pro
duced a satisfactory crop, contrary to the antici
pations ot many people who witnessed the plant
ing and watched the growing of the crop. We
do not remember the number of bushels it pro
duced to the acre, but we should have estimated it
between fifty and sixty. Germantovn Telegraph.
Tbi Tais Wat. A beautiful and high-spirited
horse would never allow a shoe to be put on his
feet, or any person to handle hi feet. In at
tempting to shoe such a horse, recently, he re
sisted all atforts, kicked aside everything but an
anvil, and came near killing himself against
that, aud finally was brought back to his stable
unshod. The defect waa just on the eve of con
signing him to the plough, where be might walk
barefoot, when an officer ia our service, lately
returned from Mexico, took a cord, about the
size of a common bedcord, put it in the mouth
of the horse like a bit, and tied it tightly on the
animal's head, passing his left ear under the
string, not painfully tight, but tight enough to
keep the ear down and the cord in place. This
done, he patted the horse gently on the side of
bead and commanded him to follow, aad in
stantly he obeyed, perfectly subdued, and a
gentle and obedient as a dog, suffering his feet
to be lifted with entire impunity, and acting in
ail respects like an old stager.
Coal Asiizs fob Mclcuisg Cckbasts and
Gooseberries. A New York gardener has suc
ceeded in keepiug his currant and gooseberry
bushes free from the currant worm by mulching
heavily with coal ashes. The ashes also have
auother value not expected, viz : keeping the
ground cool and moist, so that even English
gooseberries will bear heavy crops without sign
of mildew. We judge, also, the use of coal asbea
would be good for asters, which need cool soil
also. Rurid Xe Yorker.

The Poo of Psas. The pod of peas, when
young and tender, are au excelleut vegetable,
very lit for being used in soups. There ia a kind
of pea called the sugar pea, tbe pods of which
have only a thin pellicle as an internal lining,
instead of the hard lining found in other kinds,
aud peas of this kind are boiled in the pod, and
used like kidney-beans. The pods of the ordina
ry garden variety are, however, of equally deli
cate flavor, and the only but insuperable objec
tion to their use as a boiled vegetable Is the hard
and unmasticable interior lining.. They may,
however, be used in soups, being, ia the first
place, boiled in a separate vessel until they ean
be easily rubbed to pieces. This is done by
means of a wooden spoon, or similar implement,
aud then the pea-shells are then placed in
drainer haviug wide holes, with the water in
which they were boiled, when the eatable pari
passes through the drainer with the water, and
forms au excellent addition to soups. The
strings and hard linings of the pods remain up
on the drainer.
To Dbt Plcms. Gather the plums when not
too ripe. Pick each one with a darning-needle
in several places. Take half a pound of sugar
to each pound of fruit. Melt tbe sugar with a
little water ; skim it thoroughly ; then add the
plums, aud boil for half an hour. Lift out the
plums, and boil the sugar for twenty minutes
longer, or until it nearly candies, which yon can
tell by taking up a small quantity in a spoou
and letting it drop down until It threads out in
strings. Turn U over the plums, and put them
to dry in a cool oven, stirring them np every few
minutes. When candied, put Into ooxea.
Baked Gooseberry Pudding. Scald a quart
of gooseberries in water until they are salt,
drain, and when cold work them smooth with a
spoon. Add half a pound of powdered loaf-sugar,
four ouuecs of fresh butter, four ounces of
bread crumbs, and the yolks of forr and the
whites of two eggs more eggs may be used if
liked. Beat all together for a quarter of an
hour. Strew sifted sugar over, and serve either
hot or cold.
Green Goosebebrt Jellt. Boil one gallon
of gooseberries In.two quarts of water to a put
strain through a jelly-bag, and to every pint of
juice put one pound of euar. (Boil until a deep
