The Tombstone Agent. Like many
otiicr branches of trades, ageuls for tomb
btone manufactories are quite numerous,
who often find it to their advantage to work
on the feelings a little in order to effect a
eale. The other day one happened to be
in a strange section, and was sent to call
upon a Sirs. Urowu, who had lately lost a
husband. He introduced himself and was
enTited to sit down. He spoke of the wea
ther, and th.'a getting round to business,
said rather tenderly
So you have lost your husbaud V
She wept, and 6aid it had that resein
blancc. v
He said he sympathized with her iu the
hour of her alHictiou ; that the best of j
friends were doomed to isart, and but few
knew auy more whose turn it would be
next.
lie had not the honor of being acquaint
ed with Mr. Brown, but ho had heard hitu
sjKiken of all over the country in the high
est terms of praise, (this was bis usual
style, whether he had or not ;) everybody
considered him an honorable man and au
aft'ectionate husband.and they mourned his
loss with a most earuest and tenderest
affection, and the deceased man deserved
a fitting memory, and as It was the last sad
lite the could do, he begged her to look
over some excellent monumental designs
in Italian and American marble, which he
was prepared to sell at the lowest terms.
'Lookee here, mUler,' said she, you said
he was an honorable man and affectiouatc
husband, wheu you know you lie; he
wasn't no such thiug! It's true I've lost
him, but he ain't dead ; he ain't the kiud
that dies he ran off last Wednesday with
another woman, aud doesn't need a tomb
stone I'm sorry to say and I'd be much
obleeged to you if you'd light out and not
come back here again until you have occa
sion. mister.1
There was a rapid gathering up of pho- j
tographic designs by the poor agent, while
lie savagely growled out, 'sold 1' aud faded j
away from Jlrs. Brown's ou the double I
quick. When last heard from lie was
auxiously hunting up the cuss who sent j
him there to sell a tombstone.
IIOW came you to be a druukard ?' ask-1
cd a friend of Tom Marshall in a conversa
tion with him. 'Weil, I will tell you all
about that,' said Tom. 4I graduated in
law at Lexington, with the celebrated di
vine, Robert J. Breckinridge, and our
friends thought we were the intellectual !
woudtrs of the age, and they advised us, I
by way of taking a high position at ouce,
to attack Henry Clay, then iu the prime of j
his fame aud power, upon the first oppor- i
tunity that presented ilso'.f. That oppor- j
tunity soon came. We were both employ
ed in a case iu opposition to him. Bob
made a speech and I made a speech, and
our friends congratulated us upon our tre
mendous Scechcs, and we were basking in
the sunnhine of coming prosperity, when
the old lion arose, and, with one sweep of
his paw, drove Bob to the Bible and me to
the bottle, where we have been ever 6ince.'
It was at the Aslor house that Webster,
wishing to buy a newspaper one morning,
put his hand into his pocket only to find
it empty. He declared he had not a penny,
whereupon one of his satellites said : 4 You
must be mistaken, Webster ; I saw you
have a $100 bill just as you were going to
bed last nichL aud a6 you haven't been up
half an hour you could hardly have spent
it' 4I rather think that's so,' answered
the God-like Daniel, reflectively. 4I did
have a hundred dollar bill, I am sure ; I
wonder what I could have done with it.
By Jupiter! I must have given it to the
boy who blacked my boots five miuutes
ago.' And that was a fact.
Jimmy Brown came runniDg into Mrs.
Jones' house the other day, saying: 4Oh,
dear, Mrs. Jones ! Such an accident has
happened. Your son John got under a
four-horse wagon load of pig-iron down at
the river, and it ran nnt over his bead.
4Oh, dear !' Boor Mrs. Jones screamed and
nearly fainted, when the little rascal add
ed : Don". cr3 Mrs. Jones, he wasn't hurt
a bit.' 'Why what do you mean ? Itun
over by a four-horse wagon load of pig-iron
and not hurt ?' 'Well, you see, the wagon
was passing over the bridge and lie was
bitting under it fishing,' replied the little
rafcal, shooting out at the opeii door.
'My dear husbaud,' said a devoted wife,
4 why will you not leave off smoking Y It
is such an odious practice, and makes your
breath smell so !' 'Yes,' replied the hus
baud, 'but only consider the time I have
devoted and the money I have sjieut to
ii arn to smoke. If I should leave off now,
i.il that money would Lave been wasted,
d.Mi't you see Y 40, 1 forgot that.'
In the o.lice of one of the Detroit hotels
recently a gentleman snapjted his finger to
it bootblack, aud as he put his foot ou the
box, said : 'You look like a good, smart
ly.' 'See here, mister !' replied the boy

some day V
An old-fashioned clergyman named More
was riding on horseback one stormy day,
t-uvelojicd in a loose cloak of large propor
tions and having a broad scarlet collar.
By the action of the wind the cloak was
tossing about in all directions, when a gen
tleman rode up on a spirited horse, which
shied and almost threw the rider. 'That
cloak of yours would frighten the devil,'
aid the geutleman. 'You don't say so !'
replied Mr. More ; 'why, that's just my
trade.'
A Good Old Democrat of Chicago,
when his beautiful and accomplished
daughters asked him for fifty cents each to
enter for a spelling tournament, in which
they were sure they would win the first
prize a copy of Webster replied emphat
ically : 'No, girls, no. It's a rascally Whig
trick thero is something under this. I
free that Webster once at Washington when
he was in Congress, and I never believed
that they did hang him for murdering Dr.
I'arkman, but that his last words, 'I still
live,' would -yet como true. And they
have, and he's just trying to work off some
of his old spelling-book truck on the market.
No, my dears, your father has traveled,
and is up to these frames, bet your sweet
lives.'
A Vermont paper remarks: 'A resi
dent found something offensive in his last
dozen of eggs, and took the dealer to task.
'What is the matter with them ?' asked
that individual. 'They are not good,' was
the reply. 'Well, that cau't be wondered
jit,' was the appolegetic rejoinder, 'the hens
are drove so now they ain't expected to be
particular as usual.'
A sharp-talking lady was reproved by
her husband, who requested her to keep
her tongue in her mouth. 'My dear,' said
she, 'it' against the law to carry concealed
weapena.

alleled success of Vctegab Bitters ?
Our answer is, that they remove the
causo of disease, and the patient recov
ers his health.' They aro the preat
blood purifier and a life-giving princi
ple, a perfect Renovator and Invigorator
of the system. Never before in the his
tory of the world has a medicine been
compounded possessing the remarkable
qualities of Yixegae Bitters in healing
the sick of every disease man is beir to.
They are a gentle Purgative as well as a
Tonic, relieving Congestion or Inflammation
of the Liver and Visceral Organs in Bilious
Diseases.
The properties of Dr. Walker's
Vikegar Bitters are Aperient, Diaphoretic,
Carminative, Nutritious, Laxative, Diuretic,
Sedative, Counter-irritant, Sudorific, Altera

Feeding Stock j Pasture. Though grass
may be the "natuml' food of cattle, It is none
the lesa true that all improved- farming and
breeding deviation from a state of nature. In
this sense it cannot be doubted that meal and
grain are equally natural food for improved
stock ; at lea6t they always eat heartily enough
to make their food seem natural, and their thrifti
ness and healthfalncss give evidence that sneh
feeding is adapted to their changed condition. I
have little doubt it is the Idea that grass only is
good as summer food which keeps many farmers
from supplementing summer scarcities by grain
and meal. TUey will feed their cows and other
stock liberally during winter ; but the first bite
of grass stops all that, and animals are left to
shift as best they can. Nothing could be worse
policy tbau this. There is no time of year when
a little corn meal can be nsed to better advantage
than in feeding it to milch cows in April, May
aud even into Jane. There may be a time when
Juue grass is at its best when eows will not eat
meal readily ; but as soon as summer drouth
causes a scanty the additional feed will be in
demand and may be profitable given. During
the hottest months, ground oats, screenings, or
shipstuffs are preferable to corn meal, but there
is little time during the summer when some
thing may not be given to advautage.
There is nothing which tends to make the
farm rich so rapidly as liberal feeding, and on
many accounts snmmecais the best season for
this purpose. A quart of corn meal twice a day,
or eight quarts of bran per day, will pay Jn the
increased flow of milk, and fields thus pastured
will grow richer all the time, especially if each
fall over the grass. In August and Septem
ber drilled corn may be given in place of the
grain, or if pastures are entirely dried, it may
take the place of the grass aud meal, or mill
feed added.
Last year I intended to feed thd cows until the
middle of Jane, but not having any eorn ground,
and the teams being too busy to go to mill, I
stopped the allowance for a very few days. The
result was that two new milch cows lost nearly
half in their yield of milk, and more still in
quality. The grass at this time gave a good
"bite," but lacked substance. As soon as tiie
feed was resumed, the flow and richness of milk
increased ; but the cows were not as good all the
season, from less than one week's loss of their
meal ration. I fed the meal on cut cornstalks
aud straw, substituting cnt clover hay for the
stalks late in the spring as the weather become
warm. Cor. Country Ctntletnan.
Dark Brahma Hens. A writer in the Rural
Xew Yorker has this to say for the brahraa hen :
She will rear a brood of chickens which, if
hatched no later than any time during the month
of May or Jane, will bring 40 or 50 cts. a piece
before Thanksgiving day, and will lay twelve ,
dozen of eggs besides, worth from twelve to
twenty-five cents per dozen. They are often
taken advantage of by some of the .farmers'
good wives, who always, after the warm weather
sets in, manage to set two hens at one and the
same time, and afterwards, when the chicks are
hatched give both broods to one hen. In the
course of a few days the robbed hen begins to
lay, and so has the good fortune, after all, of
hatchiug twice the number of chicks of the hen
upon which her first family wa imposed thus
making herself also more profitable to the farmer
than If she had been left to rear her first brood.
This breed is found fault with for wanting to
set too frequently, but that is their natnre, and
a part of their most paying business ; for a
Brahma hen will often hatch and rear a dozen
or more of fine chickens. The Brahinas are
seldom inclined to frequent setting before the
warm weather sets In, when it will pay yoa
four times as well to give a ben a nest full
of eggs, than to break her np, though she
was the best laying hen in the world for at this
season eggs are cheap, though a dozen of them
put under a ben may bring $3 in less than three
months or $5 in less than five months, as this
breed matures, if well fed, at from fonr to five
months.
A Discovert About Corn. A writer in the
Wettern Enrol says : An intelligent and reliable
neighbor of ours, who has for years been making
experiments with corn, his discovered an import
ance and value in replanting eorn, which is quite
novel and worthy ef publication. We have al
ways thought replanted corn was of very little
consequence, bnt this gentleman says "it is of
so much consequence he replants whether it is
needed or not or rather, he plants two or three
weeks after the crop Is planted a hill ever
fifteenth row each way." He says : "If the
weather becomes dry during the filling time, the
silk and tassels both become dry and dead. In
this condition, if it should become seasonable
the silk revives and renews Its growth, bnt the
tassels do not recover. Then , for want of pollen,
the new silk is unable to fill the offlce for which
it was designed. The pollen from the replanted
corn is then ready to supply the silk, and the
filling Is completed." He says nearly all the
abortive cars, so common iu all corn crops, are
caused by the want of pollen, and he has known
ears to double their size in this filling.
HOUSEHOLD.
Visegar Casdt. One cup white sugar, one
half cup vinegar ; boil till it crisps in cold wa
ter. This makes an excellent candy and some
thing benelic!al also, as It is good for colds. If
the vinegar be very strong, take a little less of
it aud some water ; but for ns the strength of
the vinegar bnrts. When done pom on buttered
plates, and either mark off in squares an inch or
two wide as It cools, or else, when cool enough
to handle, draw it until it is nice and white, then
cnt it into sticks.
From GoiUy't Lndy'$ Book.'
Strawberries or Raspberries for Cream ok
Ices, without Boiling. Let the fruit be gather
ed in the middle of a warm day, in very dry
weather ; strip it from the stalks directly, weigh
it, turn It into a bowl oi deep pan, and brnise it
geutiy, mis with an equal weight of line dry
sifted sugi.r, aud put it immediately into small,
wide necked bottles ; cork these firmly without
delay, and tie bladder over the tops. Keep them
In a cool place, or the fruit will ferment. The
mixture should be stirred softly, aud only Just
sufficiently to blend the sngar and the fruit.
The bottles must be perfectly dry. and the blad
ders, after having been cleaned in the usual way,
aud allowed to become nearly so, should be mois
tened with a little spirit on the side which is to
be next to the cork.
Strawberries. To two pounds of fine large
strawberries add two pounds of powdered sugar,
and put them in a preserving-kettle, over a slow
fire, till the sngar Is melted ; then boil them pre
cisely twenty miuutes, as fast as possible ; have
ready a number of email jars, and put the fruit
in boiling hot. Cork and seal the jars imme
diately, and keep them through the summer In a
cold, dry cellar. The jars must be heated before
the hot fruit is poured in, otherwise they will
break.
Raspberries whole. Take five quarts of
raspberries and cull from them about three pints
of the largest and finest, and set them aside ;
put the remainder in the preserving-pan, and put
them on the fire to extract the jnice. When
they are boiled enough, let them cool, and then
strain them through a cloth. While they are
cooling, boil np the sugar in the proportion of
one pouui to one quart of the fruit, and when
you have removed the scum, and it is a good
syrup, throw In yonr whole raspberries ; let them
boil rapidly a few minutes, bnt be careful they
do not lull to pieces or become ragged. Take
them ont with a skimmer fnll of holes, and
spread them over a large dish to cool ; then
throw Into the syrup the juice of those yon have
previously boiled, and let it boll till it ia nearly
a jelly ; throw in again the whole Trull, and give
it a smart boil ; then put it In your jars hot, and
do not cover them till cold.
Gooseberries. Take the rongh-skinned fruit
wheu qnite dry, with rather more than their
weiqht of sugar pounded fine ; lay a layer of
agar till ail are in the pan ; add a teaspoonfnl
or water, and boll the fruit quickly until it ia
clear ; take it out and put it Into jars ; boil np
the syrup until it is thick, then pour it over the
fruit. When cold, cover it closely.
EiiG Toast. Toast fresh but not new bread
qnicklv, without drying; Jip eaeh slice in
melted, not oiled, butter; have ready eggs,
poached soft, cut the slices of bread in the mid
dle ; lay on each piece of toast an egg without
breaking the yelk, dust on very little pepper, and
ppur over each egg a half-teaspoonful of melted
butter ; never allow butter to boil for toast ; it
ruins the whnldih.
