TnE Vacant Seat. Ono moruing a
week or two back a nice young man got
into a car on Ibe Dayton Shore Railroad,
aDd saw to his delight the only vacant seat
was by the eide of a young lady acquaint
ance. He reached for the scat with joyous
strides, and her eyes answered his delighted
looks. But just as he got there an elderly
party from the other end of the car waltzed
up the aisle and dropped into the coveted
seat. The young man approached more
slowly, and accosted the young lady. 'How
is your brother ?' be asked. 'Is he able to
get out ?' 'Oh, yes,' she said. 'Will he be
very badly marked ?' be continued, and
the old gentleman grew suddenly interest
ed. 'Ob, nV said the fair deceiver ; 'with
the exception of a few small pits ou his
forehead, you would uever know he had
it' 'Were you not afraid of taking it?'
the young man went on, while the old geu
tleman broke out in a cold perspiration.
'Not at all,' she replied, 'I have been vac
cinated, you know. The seat was vacated
instantly, two young hearts beat as half a
dozen, and the prattle of 'nice talk' strewed
that part of the car, while a gray-haired old
man scowled upon them from the hard ac
commodation of the wood-box.
It is the custom iu Mexico for the clergy
to require a foreiucr wishing to marry a
native, to bring proof that be is not already
aiarried man. An American about to
marry a Senora of a very good family was
required to furnish the proof of his beiug
a bachelor. Xot liudiug any of his coun
try meu who kuew him sufficiently well to
testify to this fact, he determined to 6up
ply the deficiency with the oath of a na
tive. Meetiug a Mexican in the street, whom
he had never seen before, our countrymau
proposed to him that he should swear to
his being unmarried for the consideration
of live dollars. The senor, after a mo
ment's study, said to the Yankee :
'Get down on your knees and creep
about.'
Xot exactly underslaudiug what he was
ut, our friend obeyed, much to the detri
ment of his unjncntionabks. The other
party then told him that it was ail right ;
that he would 6wcar that the American
had not been married since he knew him,
and that was before the time he crawled.

A story is told of a lady sending her
servant to the cellar to bring up some oys
ters in the shell, giviug him strict charge
to bring up none that were dead. Patrick
brought a tray full, every bivalve upon it
. gaping wide. In reply to the astonished
lowk of the lady, he said : 'Sure they must
be aiive, or how could they keep their
mouths open ?' I5u', Patrick, could
you not tell the difference by the smell V
'And sure, ma'am, I was remarking that
same to meself. ISut mightn't the others
have bad breaths too, if they'd only open
their mouths a bit ? '
Til eke is au old story about a clergyman
leaving his parrot, squirrel and monkey in
a room together, andgumcd to find that
a terrib'.e tripartite light had occurred.
The feathers had been pulled from the back
of the parrot, the monkey had lott pieces
of flesh from various parts of his body, and
the squirrel's tail had been bitten olf. The
parrot was perched disconsolately on the
back of a chair, ind, upon the entrance of
the clergyman, it explained iu a pitiful
tone, 'We've had a hell of a time.' Wasn't
the Beecher-Bowen-Tilton three cornered
fight of somewhat the same sort ? And
couldn't one of them aptly use the words
of the parrot ?
Poor Leech's Last Sketch represent
un Irishman and his wife. The man had
lost bis hat, his hair looked as if it had
lx'cn pulled and twisted in all directions,
his eyes were black and swollen, his noe

than their natural tatters. His wife was
reproaching him for his folly in running
into a tight, aud by way of reply, be says,
'Whisht, Biddy, whisht it's mate aud
drink to me.'
Some travelers were visiting a cavern in
South America. While the party were
within, investigating the gloomy interior,
there was noticed an old negro standing
outside, aud he was asked : 'Say, uucle,
why !on't you go in ?' Ah, de heben,
help us,' said he : 'I see trouble on the top
of earth, and don't want to go into dat hole
searching arler misery. '

'Axd now, Mrs. Sullivau,' said the
counsel, 'will you be kind enough to tell the
jury whether your husband was in the
habit of striking you with impunity ?' 'Wid
what, sir?' 'With impunity ?' 'He was,
sir, now and thin, but he struck me oftener

If there is anything in tins world that
will make a boy sing with 'true iuward

the old man is slicing seed potatoes on the
porch looking out ou the garden.
'It is not our fault,' says a Milwaukee
editor, 'that we are red-headed and small,
and the next time that one of those over
grown rural roosters in a ball room reaches
down for our head and suggests that some
fellow has lost arose bud out of his button
hole, there will be trouble.'
A couple of disputatious neighbors
were contending as to which is the oldest
business in the world, when the wife of one
of them, with her babe in her arms, si
lenced tbem by declaring that the oldest
business in the world is the nursery busi
ness. A very old mau once went to the King
of Sparta, and lamented over the degen
eracy of the times. The King replied,
What yau say is undoubtedly true, for I
remember that, wheu I was a boy, I heard
my graudmother say the same thing.'
Ax angry teacher was whipping a pupil,
and having prolonged the exercise far be

looked up and calmly said, 'Come, sir, you

wrested the whip from the teacher's band.

The Poci,tkt Yakd. The first thing to be
done abont the poultry yard in Spring is to clean
out the places where the fowls have roosted dur
ing Winter. This should be done early, and all
droppings removed aad composted with peat or
some light soil. After cleaning the roosts, they
should be white washed, together with the walla
inside, after which sulphur may be scattered lib
erally into all crevices, over the floor or gronud
underneath. This has been our practice for
years, and we have had no trouble with hen lice
or other vermin which so frequently annoy the
poultry raiser.
Iu setting hens every egg should be marked
with a pencil or otherwise, so that it can be
readily recognized in case other hens should lay
in the same nest. When making up the nest,
clean, fresh hay should be put in, and a table
spoonful of sulphur sprinkled in among it. The
heat from the hen while sitting, will cause gen
tle fumes to arise from the sulphur, destroying
any lice that may be present. Since adopting:
this sulphur cure, more than a dozen years since,
we have never found chicken lice upon a young
brood or upon the mother ; and we are also in
clined to think it has a beneficial effect upon the
health of the fowls in general, as not a case of
chicken cholera or pip has been known among
our poultry in many years. C!eanliness la the
most effective and certain prevention against all
diseases ; but lice are very likely to appear upon
sitting hens and their brood, unless sulphur is
used as directed. This mineral, so destructive
to insect life, is almost harmless to larger ani
mals, unless they iubale the fumes of burning
sulphur, which quickly destroys both animals
and vegetable life. Sulphur is so cheap that it
may be used freely about the barn and other
outbuildings for driving away as well as de
stroying the various insects which Infest them.

Why Cuctmbers aee Regarded U.nwhole
some. A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
says : Cucumbers in the early part ot July are
a luxury, and eaten moderation are not unwhole
some. They should always be picked early in
the morning, when the dew is on them. Gather
ed later in the day, under a broiling sun, they
are wholly unlit to eat. This is, no doubt, one
reason why they are considered unwholesome by
many persons.
Age of Turkeys to Breed From. The Livt
Slock Joiiual replies as follows to the query,
which are most profitable to breed from, turkeys,
one, two or three years old 1 The male turke
does not attain its greatest vigor until the third
oi fonrth year, therfore a cock or three years old
is better than a year old for breeding. But it
is well to change the male every year, which is
believed lo produce healthier and stronger chicks;
and hens two years old and upward arc also best
for breeding.
Tne value of crows may be estimated from an
incident that happened on a Maryland farm last
spring. A number of men who were sent to hoe
a field of potatoes reported after the work was
finished that they saw "millions of potato-bugs,'
and it was supposed the growing crop was surely
destroyed. For several days after, however,
large numbers of crows were seen to alight it the
field, and a second close examination, by the
men who hoed the potatoes, detected but twenty
burgs, the remainder having been eaten by tho
crows. These birds are tond of any kind of in
sect, and are in many ways valuable to the farm
er. .
Radisii Growing. Some of your correspon
dents may have difficulty in growing crisp and
tender radishes free from worms, as most grow
ers advise good rich soil, Ac. To make a suc
cess, go to a sand bank or loam bed and draw
sufficient for a bed, free from weeds and grass ;
drop on top of soil and level off, and sow the
seed, without addition of manure or spading up.
For succession, sow once in three or four weeks
as loug as radishes are wanted. A trial will
convince the most skeptical. Cor. Country Gen

HOUSEHOLD.
From Godey'M Lady' Book.
JAMS.
Raspbeuht. Take equal weights of fruit and
moist sugar ; put them on the Gre together ; keep
stirring and breaking the fruit till the sugar
melts, then boil till it will Jelly on a plate.
Though simple, this will be fonnd a very good
receipt.
Strawberrt. Allow equal weights of pound
ed loaf-sugar and of strawberries ; mash tbem
in the preserving-pan, and mix the sugar well
with it ; stir, skim, and boil it for twenty min
utes. Black Currant. Allow equal weight of
clipped currauts aud of ponnded loaf-sugar;
braise and mash the fruit in a preserving-pan -over
the fire ; add the sugar ; stir it frequently ;
when it boils, 6kim and let it boil for ten min
utes. White or Red Ccrraxt. Pick the fruit very
nicely, and allow an equal quantity of finely
powdered loaf-sugar ; put a layer of each
alternately into a preserving-pan, and boil for
ten minutes ; or they may be boiled the same
time la sugar previously clarified and boiled
candy high.
Cuerrt. Stone four pounds of cherries, and
put them in a preserving-pan with two pounds
of fine white sugar and a pint of red-currant
juice. Boil the whole together rather fast, un
til it stiffius, and then pnt it into pots for use.
Goosecekbt. Stalk and crop six pounds of
the small, red, toitgh boottberry, put them into
a preserving-pan, and, as they warm, stir and
Jruise thera to briug out the juice. Let them
boil for ten minutes, then add four pounds of
sugar, and place it on the fire again ; let it boil,
and continue boiling for two hours longer, stir
ring it all the time to prevent its burning. When
it thickens, and will jelly upon a plate, it is done
enough. Put it into pots, and allow it to remain
a day before it is covered.
MARMALADES.

they will mash ; beat then in a mortar ; take
half their weight in loaf-sugar, and sutEcient
water to dissolve it ; boil ail together, and skim
j until it is clear, aud the syrup thick like tine
i Jelly.
COM POPES OF FRUIT.
Spuing Fruit. (Riiubarb.) Take a pouud
of the stalks after they are pared, aud cut them
into short lengths; have ready a quarter-pint of
water boiled gently for ten minutes with five
ounces of sugar, or with six, should the fruit be
very acid ; put it in, and simmer it ibr about ten
minutes. Some kinds will be teuder in raTer
less time, some will require more. Gor sujrat
iu lumps should be used geueriiy for thestf
dishes, and uheu they are intended for dc-sscit,
the syrup shouid be enriched with an additional
once or two. Lisbon sugar will auswer for them
very well on ordinary occasions, bnt that which
is refined will render them much more delecate.
Gkeen Currkss. Spring water half pint;
sugar, five onnccs ; boiled together ten minutes.
Oue pint of green currants stripped from the
stalks ; simmered three to five minutes.
Gueen Gooskberhies. This Is an excellent
compote if made with fine sugar, and very good
with any kind. Break five ounces into small
lumps and pour on them half a pint of water;
boil these gently for ten minutes, and clear off
all the scum ; then add to them a pint of fresh
gooseberries freed from tha tops and stalks,
washed, and well drained. Simmer them gently
from eight to ten miuutes, and seive them hot
or cold. Increase tho quantity for a large dish.
Red Currants. A quarter-pint of water and
live ounces of sugar : ten minutes. One pint of
ready picked currents to be just simmered in the
syrup from five to six minutes. This receipt
will serve eqnally niized together. Either of
them will be found an admirable accompaniment
batter, custard, bread, ground rice, and various
other kinds of puddiugs, as well as to whoie
rice plainly boiled.
Cherries. Simmer five ounces of sugar with
half a pint of water for ten minutes ; throw into
the syrop a pound of cherriej weighed after
they are stalked, and let them stew gently for
twenty minutes ; it ia a great Improvement to
stouc the fruit, but a larger quantity wilt then be
required for a dish.
Morella Cherries. Boil together for fifteen
minntes, five ounces of sugar with half a pint
of water ; add a ponnd and a quarter of ripe
Morella cherries, and simmer them very sofiiy
from five to seyen minutes ; this Is a delicious
compote.
