t XAsBYS DREAM. The Ex-Potincr of the Corederit X Roads Ha a Pleaoam Dream bat Terrible Awakening. COXFEDEKIT X ROADS (Which IS n the Stale uv Kentucky), June 9. 1SS4. I bed a dreem last nite wich I wish from the bottom uv my heart cood be realized. It wuz a dreem so rich, no full uv everything wich wuz deliteful, that I almost wish I Led dide afore awakenin from it to the cold realities u v a crooel and unsym pathetic world. It wuz a dreem wich extendid over a considerable space uv time. Methawt I wuz a delegate to the Dimekratic Xashnel Convenshun from this deestrik in Kentucky. I wuz entirely happy, for I hed rooms at a fust clas9 hotel and plenty uv money, for I hed promised the man agers uv all uv the candidates to vote for their man, and wuz reseev in money from each. In addishun I hed sold all five uv the tikkits I hed at my disposal to the conven tion to outsiders, and lied turned a handsome penny buyin up from the other delegates, and sellin aein at a higher nrice. All the delegates wuz on the "rrake, only I hed sooperior intelligence. It wuz a deliteful experience, only it wuz in my sleep. Thank heaven for sleep ! All my good times I bev in my dreems. We wuz alout to concentrate on Tilden, Sam'l J., his barl hevin bin tapped at both eends and THE BUNG KNOCKED OUT. The old gentleman hed actooally determined to be a candidate on a reform platform, and wuz a buyin up uv delegates at a rate wich I never dreerned he was capable uv. No matter wat may be sed uv his hon isty, ther ain't no doubt ez to his lib erality or hisakkeritknoilegeuv the make-up of dimekratic convent-huns. I hed sold out to him four times, and so hed the heft uv the delegates, and we got our money every time. Samyooel's managers sed that so sot wuz the old man on the question uv reform that he'd scoop the nomina shun ef he hed to buy every dele gate to the convenshun. Jist ez we hed made npour minds to vote for him and end the matter, we receeved a dispatch from Noo York that the old man hed bin struck with paralysis and his rite Fide wuz completely ded. His man agers were appalled at the terrible intelligence, but not so the delegates. One gentleman from Injeany riz to bis feet and demanded in thunder tones ef be cood still yoose his left band. " le kin !" wuz the reply. " Very cood, then. He kin sign checks with his left hand, and so long ez HE KIN SIGN CHECKS he is a good enuff reform candidate forme. With him ez our standard barer the Dimocrisy uw Injeany will pay cash for likker this Fall any bow." Then the dreem went on. We went into the campane, and I mov ed immegiately to Injeany, bekoz thar ain't no money in bein a Diniy krat in Kentucky. Kentucky is safe enyhow, and whtn I asked Til den for cash contribooshens for the campane I was met with achillin refoosle. The Reform tikkit kin kerry Kentucky anyhow," wuz the chillin response, " and my money must go into the doubtful States." Injeany being a doubtful State, I went over ther, and threw my sole into the work. 1 got the posishen of disburser in a Congressional dees trict, and when the eleckshun come I voted six times, gittin my three dollars per vote with the rest uv em. In my dreem Tilden was elected on the reform ishoo, and then come the millenium. We didn't pay much attenshun to questions uv public polisy, but we did make a cleen sweep uv all the Republikin offis-holders. We spared nothin. One armed soljers was throwd out uv places, ez wellez wimmen wich held small post-oflises. THERE WUZN'T A OITIB, no matter how small, which we couldn't find a Dimekrat willin to take. There wuz wher we com menced the work uv Reform. Uv course I got the post-oflls at the Cernere. The nigger Lubbock, which hed held it since Grant's first inoggerashun wuz relegated to his shoe bench, and I was installed in his place. The salary wuzn't large, but ther wuz perkisits. I didn't have the handlin uv any letters con tainin remittances for noosepapers, so I got no revenoo from that. The Repubiikins in this visinity, ez soon ez I wuz installed, mailed ther letters containin money for noospapers at other offises. becoz, ez they remarkt, they hed been interdoosed to me, and the Dimocrisy don't take no noosepapers. This source uv reve noo wuz cut off entirely. But there wuz other things wich did pay. I reseeved on a average Fix letters a day addressed to the Looseaner and other lotteries, and them I capchered. I believe that games of chance is immoral. Shood I encurridge my people in this wiek ednis ? No, and to cure 'em I opeu ed the letters and didn't let 'em know that I hed the money, hopin that after trying several times for a prize and gettin nothin, they wood desist There is many ways uv SF.RV1N THE LORD, and I bev my pekoolyer way. And it wux with grim eatisfackshen that I opened Bascom's regler remittanc es to No Orleans for lottry tickits, and went over and paid him for his likker in the same. I quit goin to Bascom's almost al together. I preferred to sit in my ofiis, by a open winder, thro wich I cood see the smoke of McPelter's dis tillery risin gracefully to the hevins, ndsend my first assistant out whose 8alery I collected uv the government givin him my doo bill therefor, for my likker. It wuz easier sendin him out for my drinks than to go myself, and much more dignified. Deekin Pogram had got to be col lector vice Pollock, removed, and ez we hed got on appropriashen for elack-waterin Seceshen Crik, with all uv us in the contrat, and like wise an appropriashen for a noo poete-ffis, Bascom wuz reseevin cash for his likker, and the Corners was happy. That wuz my dreem ez I dozed in a chair at Bascom's. Wood that the dreem hed continuod. Bat it did not I WAZ AWAKENED. by the firln uv guns, and from force of habit contraktid when I wuz in the Loosiana Pelikins, the minnit I heerd the sound I instinctively 6tartid to run. Comin to myself, and rememberin that the war" wuz over, I sot down agin. vVat sounds reached mv ears ? It wuz Pollock and Joe Bigler and a hundred niggers on the Square hoorahin for Blaine and Logan ! That wuz no dreem. The Republi kin Convention lied met and did its work, and these disturbers hed got the nooze. And they wuz organizin a Blaine and Logan Club rite under our noses, and cz they bev got too strong to be skeert by shot-guns, it isn't at all onlikely that they may kerry the County. Sadly I asked Bascom for 6Uthin and firmly he refoozed. "I don't bleeve," sed Bascom, " that you will ever git that postofiis, and therefore, henceforth, for you, likker is cash on delivery, or a minnit afore de livery." And just then Lubbock, the nig ger postmaster, past by, and he leered into my face with a four-vears'-more expression onto his face that wnz sickenin. It WUZ Biore than ish. sickenin it wuz feend- Petroleum V. Xasby, (Despondent) Farmer Should Raiwe Turkeys. Let me tell how I raise turkeys. I have six hens and a cock turkey. Throusrh the winter and until they begin to sit, their home is in the hay barn over the floor. I keep a box of oats by them, and they come down daily for water, and when the weather is good and the ground bare they go out and forage as they like. Oats, hay and what they pick up out of the doors make up their living. Oats make strong, lively chicks, and the best provender for breeding birds and beasts that we have. As the tvrkeys have been at borne in the barn all winter, they will be likely to lay there, and if there is not too much noise, the barn is the best pos sible sitting place. They will begin to lay by April 1st, or perhaps soon er. I let them lay, but if I W3nt to raise turkeys I do not set an egg till after May 1st Young turkeys should not come out of the shell in Massa chusetts before the first of June. Turkeys hatched by June 10th will, while the reverse is true with the large breeds. The small breeds make early and quick returns with generous feed and care, while, the large breeds are more tardy in reach ing a marketable condition, when they will weigh very heavy. The early or late profit in eggs varies in the same way. While the small breeds, as a rule, come into laying at six, and at seme instances at four months, the large breeds linger until seven, eight and nine months, according to the keeping, while the greater amount of feed ex pended has a telling effect on the lias a telling eliect on small breeds in the right direction the contrary is observed with the sion, excesses of any kind, and defect large breeds. Judgment must be jVe alimentation are among the more exercised, for neither breed must, be I productive causes of emaciation. A . . 1 . : ii : t i,i stinted or starved, while growing After the growth and feathering are completed, the birds intended for laying should be separated from those that are fattening, and put on small rations of fat-producing food, and large rations of albuminous food, such as buckwheat, wheat, brans and milk. Of this they should have all they will eat, but not with holding corn entirely. When fowls are in confinement it becomes nec essary to exercise judgment in feed ing, as too much stroug feed and too little exercise have a tendency to fatten the birds. When running at large the case is different, for the egg-producing breeds subsist largely on worms and insects obtained by scratching. The large fowls are not so active, consequently must be put on rations. In raising chicks for market early chicks are best They should come out of the shell as early as they can be managed with suc cess. This period varies with the convenience and accommodations. The location must be warm, and front toward the first warm rays of the sun. The north and west side must be sheltered. Very early chicks escape the gapes, for they avoid the dampness of the growiug vegetation. Correspondence Country Gentleman. How a Lost Bracelet M'as Itecovercd. Several weeks ago a lady riding in one of the cars of the Pennsylvania railroad, between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg, had the. misfortune to lose a very valuable bracelet. While putting up the window of the car, it came unclasped and fell out. The loss was reported to the conductor, who took the name and address of the lady, and four days afterward she had the satisfaction of having the bracelet returned to her. How was it done ? By a very simple pro cess. On arriving in Pittsburgh the conductor" telegraphed the loss to the various station-masters near where it occurred ; the station-master of each section placed ihe facts in pos session of the track walkers, and the track-walkers were given orders to keep their eves open on their routes for the bracelet. These men go over the track every day. their business being to see that no obstructions are on the road. In this way one of these wslkers discovered the piece of jewelry. It was returned to the station-master with the report of the track-walker ; then it went to the conductor with a report, and in due time found its way to headquarters, where the various reports were placed on file, and finally returned to the owner, whose receipt therefor closed up the account An Answer Wanted.

A camellia plant growing in a pot will suffer to death without showing it by the leaves flagging. Even to remove a branch and throw it into hot sunshine, the leaves will retain their form and color for days, wholly unlike the actions of most other plants. Another peculiarity of the camellia is, that its flower buds ap pear six or more months before they open. They may usually be seen as early as June, and continue to enlarge during the summer and fall, flowering the following winter. For Half life.

He it is against whom the hand of every man is turned. The great look down upon him and the lowly contemplate his meager proportions with ill-concealed scorn. The indignities to which I'm subjected because of my well, hardly emaciation my lack of rotundity are frightful." "And you travel on your shape, too," sympathetically murmured Casca, who is studying medicine. Xot deigning to notice the well meant remark of Casca, Cassius con tinued. ; "The other day I went into a clothing store in the Via Baxter, near the Senate House, to get a pair of trousers. 'Oh, yes, we can fit you just as good as tailor,' said the mer chan;. So I tried on a pair, and be said that they fitted me like the skin on a bologna, whatever that may be. Fit! By Bacchus, they were big enough "for the Colossus of Rhodes. 'Veil.' said the villainous knave- Che was not of Roman birth, thank the gods for that) dose pants yas shust so 6chmall as anv I haf. You vas too tin.' May I go naked till the stones of the Capitol crumble and decay before I'll buy of that man." A sage, who had been listening to the conversation, approached the party and, addressing Cassius, said : "I will tell you what you need. You must reform. You must give up alcoholic stimulants. Emacia tion, obesity, is often the indication of disease. It should be promptly combated. THE STANDARD OK WEIGHT in proportion to height which is reco gnized by most insurance companies as a basis for calculatina expectancy gives a range of from 120 pounds for a man 5 feet 1 inch in height to ITS pounds for a man 6 feet in height. The ratio of increase is not uniform. A man 5 feet 6 inches, for instance, should weigh 145 pounds; one 5 feet 7 inches, 14S pounds; 5 feet 8 inches, 153 pounds ; 5 feet 9 inches, 1G2 pounds, and so on up. The av erage weight of a healthy woman is about 20 pounds less than- that of a healthy man. There may be and are variations from the figures I have given you even in health, but they are as near the average as can ascertained. "Some people are naturally thin. Others are thin because of their habits of life. These, when detrimental, must te corrected. .Memai uepres man snouiu oe in a measure govern ed in his choice of food by the work in which he is engaged. Muscular labor requires muscle-prod i cing food, mental labor food rich in the nutritive elements that support the brain. Two forces are constantly at work in the human body, one build ing up the other tearing down When the human being reaches that stage where the tearing down is greater than the building up his days are numbered unless the destructive process can be checked. The main tenance of the equilibrium of these forces constitute health. The con structing or building up force must fostered, and here is where diet comes in. First as to appetite. The body may be starved, because there is no hunger for food and because it excites positive disgust, or it may be starved because the tood is not as similated. "Very much more than half the patients we lose,' says Cham bers, die from impertect nitntion, and verv much more than half of those who recover gain that end by chanced or designed restoration of THEIR DIGESTIVE POWERS. "What's all this got to do with mv not getting a pair of pantaloons?" asked Cassius, dreamily. "Wait and see." answered the sage. "Now I will tell you what you must eat "Indian corn in any form is excel lent, and corn-bread, sweetened with New Crleans molasses, is very whole some and palatable. Pork and mut ton are rich in the fat producing ele ment. Potatoes, soups, and stews will be just the thing for some men. and milk is as good as any one arti cle of food which can be eaten. Beer is sometimes recommended, but its value is questionable. The extract of malt will accomplish ful ly as much as an appetizer, and will not produce the bad effects which often follow the use of beer. Pure glycerine, according to Dj'e, is not excelled as a fat producer. He rec ommends that it be taken in tea spoonful to tablespoonful doses, well diluted with water or milk, two or three times a day after meals. The same writer also suggests rubbinz n matters, such as freshened lard', into the pores of the 6km after a warm bath. The bath he says, in creases the absorbent capacity of the skin, and this plan of introducing fatty substances into the body has been tried with the very best results. One advantage it has is its avalibil ity in cases where the stomach will not tolerate oily substances. He recommends also the use of the sim ple vegetable bitters to stimulate a weak appetite, such as gentian, quas sia, and golden seal. Kneading the bowels several times daily and bath ing will assist digestion. "To recapitulate, there is oil, milk, cream, glycerine, soups, Indian corn products, and pork and mutton as fat-producing foods. Vary these with eggs, beans, peas, and beef, which are muscle-makers, and you have a bill of fare composed of wholesome, palatable food, rich in fat and muscle-producing elements and reasonably sure, with attention to habits, to build up the emaciated form. The list is not extensive, but is sufficient to furnish a variety of food suited to most seasons and appliable to most persons." X. Y. Tribune. A Dreadful Disease. Read, ponder and profit thereby.

Large or Small Breed. From 6ix months until the third year is the age of fowls most pro ductive of eggs, although this rule may differ somewhat with different breeds. For the largest amount of eggs the small breeds are best, and in mv experience tne 6mau oreeus have the greatest endurance, and better constitutions, and do not put on superfluous flesh after arriving at maturity. Many suppose that egg producing fowls are not good Mesh makers. In this respect the quality and quantity vary greatly with age. A Leghorn broiled at the age of 10 or 12 weeks is delicious and tender, while a month or so later it could scarcely be identified as the Bame fowl. At the same age in a Cochin or Bramah there are only bones and tendons. Their flesh is not obtained until months later. The small breeds mature early, and even at three weeks the bodies are feathered if well fed, make good birds for Thanksgiving. May turkeys are very uncertain, and I do not try to raise them. June weather is much warmer and voune turkeys take care of themselves then with little loss. After they are hatched I take tbem out into the grass at once ; the old hen takes care of them and they grow rapidly. I like to feed them every night with wheat or cracked corn at first (I never give wet food) and as near as possible to the trees on which I want them to roost. There is a fence under the trees and I entice them to the trees and the fences with their food. They soon learn to roost on the fence, then on the trees and after that they need very little care. I give themall the corn they want every night till Sep tember; after that all they want morning and night till I kill them. I get as good turkeys as can be found in the market I try to have a large cabbage patch near the roost, I feed corn to them in the cabbage patch. They eat all the corn they want, and all the cabbage worms they can find. Cabbage worms are good food for turkeys and it is very good for the cabbages to have the turkeys eat them. A flock of well fed turkeys can range at will on the farm without doing harm of any kind, and are the best of scavengers, living largely on grass hoppers and other noxious insects. A Cure fr Packed Crops. For years I have had hens now and then sick with the following symptoms: They appear stupid, with wings drooping, comb and wattles palei In a few days they died. This winter I undertook to find out the cause and, if possible, a cure. I am now satisfied that generally this condition is caused by the crop be coming packed and hard from some cause so that its contents do not pass into the gizzard, and the fowl actuallv dies from starvation with its crop full. Kxperienced poultry men may doubtless know all about this, but I apprehend that few far mers understand the cause or how to cure it I became satisfied on this point by shutting a hen up with a crop in such a condition where she ceuld not get any food and after she died I found her crop was as full as when I first discovered that she was sick. I also found out by examina tion that in a healthv condition when the crop is full, it is pliable, and the grain in it when it is press ed. will move readily. This in not the case when it is packed, as then it seem3 to be in a solid mass. I found a hen thus affected a short time Eince and cut a small hole into her crop where it projected out Ihe most, and with a small hairpin re moved the entire contents. The passage leading to the gizzard was packed very hard. This I carefully cleaned out and then sewed up the opening which I had made into the crop and also the opening through the skin, with a white silk thread. I sewed up both apertures as closely as possible, and gave her bread soaked in milk for food. Within twelve hours her comb and wattles assumed their natural red color, and the hen became as lively as ever. In a few days the wound healed and she entirely recovered. The contents of the crop, (wheat and corn,) when taken out, smelled badlv. Disciplining a Snake. It is but fair to snakes to state that, though I have often been scar ed by them, they have now and then amused and interested me. To give an instance in their favor : One day I was sitting with a friend in his veranda, when a chattering, hissing mass fell lrom the thatch roof down to the broad patch, so necessary round a dwelling in lands where grass fires are frequent, and would, but for this precaution, be likely to come roaring for admit tance to the threshold. Well, this roll of living matter fell, and nat urally antipathy running through my nervous system like an electric current warned me that a snake, though undistinguishable, was . in this bundle; and, surely, soon a brown one uncoiltd itself and went across the path, much impeded by two valiant little birds, who must have caught him poiching in their nest and turned him out. Now they were seeing him safe off the premises and on his way into the thick rufuge of grass, for which he was hurrying against adverse circumstances, the birds were giving him a piece of their mind in aggravated twitter language. He could not stand and give fight, for the moment he look ed to right an angry beak nipped his left side; on turning to the left he received a peck on his smooth, rippling skin from the infuriated' parent to the right. On and on went the brave birds worrying the snake until the grass was reached, and then they left him.

Readers of Hawthorne's H0u. of Seven Gables " will recall the Pa thos with which poor Clifford Pvn cneon, who had been nnjustiv im prisoned since hia early manhood said, after hia release : 14 H j life gone, and where ia my happine Oh ! give me my happiness But that could be done nly in part as gleams of warm sunshine occasional ly tall across the gloom of a New England autumn day. In a letter to Messrs. Hiecock Jfc Co. Mr. L. II. Titus, of Pennington V J., says : -1 have suffered untold misery trom childhood from chronic disease of the bowels and diurrLu a accompanied by great pain. I goo-hi relict at the hands ot physicians of every school, and used every pai.t and domestic remedv under the sun I have at lust found" in PAUKEIi'S rONIC a complete specific, prevent ive and cure. As your invaluable medicine, which did for me what nothing else could do, i9 entitled to the credit of my happy days I cheerfully and gratefully acknowl edge the fact." Mr. E. S. Wells, who needs no in troduction to the people of Jerv City, adds : "The testimonial of Mr Titus is genuine and voluntary only he does not adequately portray the suffering he has endured for many years. He is my brother-in-law, and I kntiw the case well. He is now perfectly free from his old troubles, and enjov. health and life iting it all to PARKER'S TON IC Lnequaled as au invigorant stimulates all the organs, cures ail ments of the liver, kidneys, and all diseases of the blood. The historic Ghetto of Rome, where so many millions of the exiled children of Judah have lived and died amid squalor and persecution, is at the present moment being lev eled with the ground, in preparation for the grand embankment which is to sweep along the Tiber from end to end of the Eternal Citv. Amonsr other dinsy edifices. th fnmniw house which tradition iointn to aa the one in which St. Paul lodged is doomed to destruction. No tears need be shed over it, any more than over the rest ol the Ghetto. A more disgraceful assemblage of filthy rook tries did not exist in Europe. There was no romance whatever, either in tlie appearance of the quarter itself or in the ragged and disease-marked crowd wiio lived in its polluted atmosphere. The Ghetto of Rome, like so many other things in life, may have;been very romantic to people at a distance, but in reality it was nothing better than a den cf very dirty thieves. Cause and Kffet.'t. At times symptoms of indigestion are present, uneasiness of the stom ach, Ac, a moisture-like perspira tion, producing itching at night, or when one is warm, cause the Piles. The effect ia immediate relief upon the application of Dr. Rosanko's Pile Remedy, which cosU you but 50 cents, and is sold by C. N. Boyd, the Druggist. A remarkable statement was re cently made to one of the editors of the Ma'dicivj Aye with reference to the close application to his business of the treasurer of the Providence and Worcester Railroad Company. This gentleman, it is stated, accom panied a party of otlicials of the road and others who made the inaugural trip on the occasion of the opening of the road in 1877. and, although he has been connected with it dur ing all the years since, has not rid den a mile on its rails from that day to the present. He has not been outside the city limits of Providence for thirty years, and to-day carries a watch which he has carried 50 years and which he has in all that time al lowed to run down but twice. Canse of Failure. Want of confidence accounts for half of the business failures of the day. C. X. Royd, the Druggist, is not liable to fail for the want of con fidence in Dr. Bosanko's Cwugh and Lung Syrup, for he gives away a bottle free to all who are suffering with coughs, colds, asthma, con sumption, and all affections of the throat and lungs. One of the raost popular of West ern revivalists has great quantities ef colored bills posted, circus fashion, on the walls of the towns in which he is to conduct services. Avoid by all means the use of calomel for bilious complaints. Ayer's Cathartic Pills, compounded entirely of vegetable ingredients. have been tested for forty years, and are ackncwledtjed to be tlie best remedy ever deyised for torpidity of the liver, costiveness. and all de rangements of the digestive appa ratus.
