COULDN'T TELL BY HIS DRESS Some years ego a wealthy carriage maker residing in Philadelphia, was very much an noyed by calls of hackmen, coachmen, omni bus drivers, etc , who, under pretense of wishing to purchase would put him to con siderable trouble in showing them all the various vehicles he had on hand and telling them-the difference, the very lowest price of each; aril would leave with the consoling i• des that they would "think of it" and if they concluded to purchase, "why they'd call a gain to-morrow." But it so happened that •they never called again the second time.— The daily inquiry we say, had become so an noying that the owner, in self defence, had resolved, on not paying any attention to a customer, unless he came well dressed.— About this time - the owner was one day standing at his door, when up came a rough• looking man, well bundled up in his over coat, wearing coarse unpolished boots, and carrying in his band a whip, who thus ac costed• him. "Good day sir. lire you the owner of this establishment." "Well, I am," replied the other, with a look which seemed to say," Now you want to try it don't you ?" . • "Have you any fine carriages for sale ?" inquired the stranger, apparently not heed ing the boorishness of the other, "Well, I have." "At what price ?" "Different prices of course." "Ah I yes. Can I look at them ?", "You can do as you please, stranger.— They are in there." The stranger bowed politely, and passed in, examined the vehicles for a few moments, ,returned and said : "There is one I think will answer my pur pose," pointing toward one. "What is the price ?" "Twn hundred dollars, air." "Is that the lowest?" "That is the lowest." "Well, sir, I will call , and give you my de cision to morrow;" and the stranger walked away. "Yes, you'll call to-morrow I 0, yes, cer tainly," replied the owner in a tone of irony, not so low-but that the stranger heard him; bat he kept on his way, taking nel 'outward notice of it. The next day came, and with it came the stranger also. "I have come according oo promise," :said I eeo you have, sir," replied the owner, a little ashamel • "I will take , that carriage, sir, -- " , and to the aitonisbn4ent'ofioe licher, he pulled out -an old wallet.well stuffed with bills, and delib irately counted out two hundred dollars. PmA4lrfron:t-syrk, ,- tti The owner was completely staggered. Here's something new, a cabman with 'so much money! He took the money, looked at p it, and then at . the stranger, eyed him from head to foot and examined his boots attentively. , Then he counted his money o ver and held up each bill to the light to Bee if it was counterfeit. No! all were good.— A .thought struck him. He would find, out his name! "I suppose you would like a receipt!" said he at length to the stranger. • "It may be,as well." "Yes sir. What name?" "Washington Irving." - sr," said — the othery—aetually—starting back with amazement, "did I understand your name was—" 'Washington Irving' replied the other, an almost imperceptible smile hovering" around his mouth. "Washington Irving—sir—my dear eir," stammered the owner, confusedly, —really, sir, beg ten thousand pardons sir, but pardon mel—but I mistook you for a cabman, air! -- r did indeed!" • "No excuse, my friend,' replied Irving. "I am, no better than you took me for. You acted perfectly right" and having at length succeeded in getting his receipt, amid a host of apolo g ies , he politely bade the humble car riage ma ker "good day," and left him to the chagrin that be had mistaken for a cabman a man whose_lofty_genius—had—oommanded the admiration of the whole world. • The friend who related this anecdote, as serted that it was a fact, and told to him by the veritable owner himself. It doubtless proved a lesson to him not to judge men by their dress. An Unseen Witness There is a little machine wade something like a clock, which can be fastened on a car riage, and in some way connected with}he motion of the wheels It is so arranged that it marks off correctly the number of miles that the carriage runs. A stable keep er once had one upon a carriage that he kept for letting, and by these means he could tell just how many miles any one want who hired it of him. Two young men once hired it to go to a town some ten miles distant. Instead of simply going and returning, as they promis ed to do, they rode to another town some five miles further, making the distane they passed over, and coming, some thirty miles. When they returned, the owner of the es .- .. 1 1 1 II ,sing po ale young men, glanced upon the face of, the measuring instrument, and discovered how many miles they had traveled. 'Where have you been?' he .then asked them. 'Where we were going,,' was the answer. Have you not been further than that?' 'O,. no, they answered. 'How many miles have you beef! in all?' 'Twenty.' He touched the.spring the cover opened, and there on the face of the instrument the thirty miles were found recorded. The ydung men were astonished at this unerring testimony of an unseen witness that they had carried with them all the way. Thus has God placed a recording witness in our hearts. Wherever wa go, we carry it with us. He keeps it Wound up and in order Without our thinking of it, it re cords all our acts, all our words, and all our thoughts. "We sometimes seek to deceive our friends but the truth is recorded in our hearts. By and by God will touch the spring, and all that is written there will then be seen.— Many things we do we should not, if we .knew the eye of another person were look ing upon us. ' We always carry a witness with us. 0 . A little boy was urged by an older person to do an act that was wrong. He was told that no one would know of it. "Yes BUM body will," said the little fellow, 'myself will know it.' We cannot dismiss the witness God has fastened it to our minds It is our con science and whatever our lips may deny, it will always tell the truth. If we should at tempt in the great day when God judges the World, to deny our action there, upon our hearts they will appear, written down, when we will not know it, by the unseen witness that God has Made to accompany , us every step in our life. Think daily little readers of that instru ment which we carry with us, out of sight on which is written everything we do sod say. Think how we.will feel when God opens it; that its records may be seen by all the world. . To REMOVE STIIMPS.—A correspondent to the Rural Register states , that Mr. John Barnes, of Baltimore, removed a trouble some stump from near his house on the fol lowing manner: 'Last fall, with an inch auger, he bored a bole in th centre of the stump ten inches deep, and into it put about a half a 'pauud of oil of vitriol, and corked the hole up tight. This spring the whole stump and. roots extending through all their ramifica tions, were so rotten that they were easily eradicated." If true, the above would be a Cheap me thod of removing-stumps. The sulphuric acid can be bought for about ftve cents per pound.

WAYNESBORO', FRANKLIN COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA, FRIDAY MORNING, MAT 11, 1866. e Angel in the Block. is related of Michael Angelo, that w .I,malking with some friends through an obscure street in the city of Florence, be discovered a fine block , of marble, lying ne glected in a yard, and half in dirt and rub blab. Regardless of his holiday attire, he at once fell to work upon it, clearing away its filth, and striving . to lift it from the slime and mire in which it lay.. His companions asked him, in astonishment, what he was doing, and what he wanted of .that worthless piece of rock. Oh, there's an angle in, this stone,' was the answer; 'and I must get it out.' He had it removed to his studio; and ittr-patient-toil-,--wit-h-m: • • let the angel out. What to others was but a rude, unsightly stone, to his educated e • was a buried glory of art,. - andle - discovera at a glance what might be made of it A mason would have put it into a wall; a cart man would have used it in filling in, or to grade the sieets; but he transformed in into a creation of genius, and gave it a value for ages to come. _ And so it is with time: Some see it only as rubbish to be disposed of, Others know no use for but to fill up gaps - of - toil or pleasure; but the trained eye of the devout student of Protidence, sees in it the sleepino , -or-buried angel , and knows that if by the grace of God, he handles it right, he can b rin that_anael-out,—He - carretwfreit - into ev-7 the roims of the angelic service, he can shape ichWa life of holy devotion, till, like that which Theodore Parker admired in the mis sionary Judson, is worth more than 'a -tem— ple like the Parthenon.' Without religion it is almost inevitable that one should be eonbtrained to exclaim at last, like one of the great marshalSof France, 'My life has been a failure.' But with it, time will be transmitted from the rough block into the glorious statue, or rather, the living form. ,Corsecrated aims will make it at once useful and blessed—a patch of light, but a pathway, too, to angelic glories in a higher sphere. =a= Hot Feet—Cold Head Action is life; inaction is death. Life in the human body, is warm. Death is cold. Vigorous bodily action causes the blood to circulate throughout• every part of the body. The want of action causes it, so to speak, to stand still. The blood goes most freely to those parts of the body or brain most exer cised. If we swilla L -theme'- ,Q plac smith, or - climb the ropeslike the sailor, we get large and strong arms and hands. if we-row a boat or swing the scythe, it is the same. But if we use the brain chiefly, to the exclusion of the muscles, we may have more .active minds, but weaker bodies. The better condition in which the entire being, body and brains, is symmetri cally developed, requires the harmonious ex ercise of all parts, in which there will be happy equilibrium with no excesses, no de: fleieney, no hot headache, no cold feet.— Headache is usually caused by a pressure of blood on the brain : .cold feet by a limited circulation of blood in those extremities. There is an old adage which says, "Keep the feet warm and the head cool," which was no doubt intended to counteract a ten dency the other way. Certain it is that those who suffer with hot beads usually have cold feet. One cause of cold feet is wearing tight gaiters which interrupt the free circulation of blood. Another is the wearing of tight stockings and tight shoes. Still another cause is using the lower limbs so little that there is not enough blood in circulation in those parts to keep them warm. Callous Oriental Customs There are many traits of character and customs, in which the Arabs and Turks are our antipodes. They shave the bead, but not the chin, and we the reverse. With us the uncovering of the bead in the presence of another is a mark ,of respect; with them a mark of disrespect When they go into a place of worship they keep on the hat, and take off the shoes and sliprers; we do the opposite. They mount on the right side of a horse, and we on the left. They write from right to left,'and t we from left to write. We show our good breeding by taking the outside when we pass persons on the street; they by passing nearest to the wail. They do the honors of the table by serving them selves first; we by serving ourselves last.— If a friend inquirers after your wife, you re gard it as a compliment; to inquire after theirs is an insult. Their mourning dress is white, our's bla•ok. They finish their wood. en houses from the top downward;• and we from the foundation up. The men wear frocks, and the women pantaloons. We wash the hands by dipping them in water; they by having water poured upon them.—.Buns man's Sinai and Zion. THE SABBATH A NOON.--It seems to me that we put Sabbath keeping generally on too low a ground... We call it duty when, it should be privilege. The Sabbath is a feast, and not a fast. It is less a command than a, boon. It is granted to us, above and beyond being imposed upon us. It is our great rest day, given us that we may not faint from overmuch weariness After a week?s : toil . • body or mind, or both, God in his fatherly love and tender care, presses upon us this great gift that our scuts may live.

Neck-Twisting in Church parson, who was sorely annoyed' by'a habit his people bad acquired. (and which pre vails, by-the-way, in all other churches, even now and hereabouts to some extent) to twist. Ing their necks around every time anybody entered the 'door, and passed up the isle of the meeting house to see what manner of person iemight be. 'Wearied with 'the annoyance, the old man exclaimed, — one Sunday; "Brethren, if you will only cease turning your heads round, whenever the door lens, and will keep your attention on me, I will promise to tell you, as I preach, who it is that comes in." • Accordingly he went on with the services, and presently made a stop as .one of the dea cons entered, saying, "That ,-is Deacon grocery opposite." And thus he announced,.in turn, the ad vent of each individual, proceeding the while with his sermon as composedly as the cir cumstances would admit, when at last a stran ger came i "A little old man in green spectacles, and a drab overcoat—don't know him—you can all turn round and look for yourselves this time." It is hardly necessary to add that the good man carded his point, and there was but little neck-twisting seen in his" congre gation after that day. • WORT/I KNOWING —Last spring I took a small quantity of seed corn and soaked it in a solution of saltpetre, and to test it plant five rows through the middle of a naturally moist piece with seed thus prepared. Now for the result: The five rows planted with corn soaked in the saltpetre yielded more than twenty rows planted the usual way.— The five rows were untouched by the wire worm, while the remainder of the field suf fered badly from their depredations, and I should judge that not &single kernel satura ted with the saltpetre was touched by the worm, while almost every hill in the rest of -the piece suffered more or less. The worms are a little kind of squeamish in regard to eating anything that comes in -their way; hence I wish to lay the fact before the agri- Cultural reader, and hope it will be carefully tested the coming season, ae the cost is com paratively nothing when put alongside of two or three acres of corn nearly ruined by these pests. All moist lands are more or less fill ed with them, and many farmers dare not plant corn on them, for they say the wire worm will spoil their crop; hence they will let it lie unimproved year after year,•When it might be made to produce a bountiful crop. ,Tnflonborough, J L. lIERSiY' Germantown Telegraph What Whiskey Doss.
