First, persist* cnt energy; second, a thorough kndwlcdSo Of the business in all its details, and a fixed determination to keep up with the times. All men w ho engaged in tnerfcantile pursuits, eyen on a small scale, know well the neces sity ot keeping posted in everything pertaining td their trade; and all with scat-bbly all exception, take and care fully I'tJad one or rtiore ioilrnals des voted eibiusiVely td their blanch of business.

In tact, titfel-y profession lino its periodi cals supported by nearly every memo ber of the class which it represents. By merchants and prolcssional men these periodicals dototed to their in terests are considered as indispensa ble But with many farmers is tjhltte hough from the very ndture of things farmers gener ally require a more thorough knowl edge of their sdrrou'ndiUgs than al most any other profession in order to arrive at the maximum of success, vet very many, indeed; take no pains whatever to iriHilliariMO themselves with thfe nature and habits of their most valuable auimuls and plants or of their itlost do-trttctive and foHaent ing enemies, jafld utterly refuse to patronize periodicals devoted to their interests, and intended to throw light upon the dark sides ot every tanner's life.—Many do ujt eicli attempt to familiarize themselves With the most oi'dinary rules of of business, or the the most common fcrms of law— and What is the result? Is It much to be Wondered at that many complain of (he unprofitableness of their profes sion; or that some are victimized by cheats attd sbarjters? Why is It that tbe butter of one dairyman always bungs two, three and five cent* per pound more than that of his neighbor? 11l the house of one you may find dime notels, Comic almanacs and police gazettes;.!u the other carefully read newspapeis aud dairymen's books. Why is it one man always happens to receive the very Highest market price fdt ail bis grain and produce,- while ) his unfortunate neighbor can scarcely receive euougb to pay expenses? Some say "one is luCky," etc. In tbe language of a well known col ege president,- we say. "Pluck is a hero, Luck is s fool —J Exchange. •'Stringer. I waut to leave my dog in this 'ere office till tbe boat starts. I'm afrid some body will steal him." "You cant do it," said tbe clerk; "take bim out." "Well ftr anger, that is cruel; but you're both dis. positioned alike aud he's kinder company for you/' "Tase bim out I' roared tbo clerk.

"Sit down here aqd Watch that fellow sharp/' and taming ou his heal said, "Put bhriont Straus ger, if Ue's ttotfblfe'some." Tbe dog lay there till the boat started watching and growling at every . movement of the clerk who gave him ! the better half of his office. graham, c,y Tuesday* june 26 1877 THE ORIENTAL BUSINESS A g.iod citizen of Grogliani stiefet was reading the other day of a good Persian gentleman who always walked about with a suiile oil llift face; When t'.iis Persian was asked why lie always looked stj ll»pp.y when other men looked so sad, he replied ; "I smile because it may be RUU-. shine tb Soliib poor soul surrounded by Shadttwss'' It ia very nibS ih tho Persian, anJ the Ofogham skieet man attid hb'd be hanged if ho bohldu't dilt smile a Persiah br Anybody else Walking around on two logs: He at once be gan to smile at his *ifei She stood it for a few miduteS; aiid then ob. served: "What's the itlftttetj Willlaths— got the colitf Again?" ,f I sitlile because I want td fchrry sunshine to your darkened soUl," he replied. She wanted him to understand that fifteen minutes at the woodpile would help her more than all the grins he could grin in a streiglit week, and when he went into tho kitchen to smile some surishine at i'le hired girl, the wife followed him and raised a row that put dinner three-quarters of an hour behind hand. However, one can't get the hang of Oriental business in a day, and this man tried it again on the street-car as'he came down town yes* terday. Opposite him sat an old woman with a basket, and he under took to smile the shadow from her heart. She watched him for two or three minutes, growing illad all thb time, and presently she asked : "Do you think you know me, that you are grining across the aisle, like a circus baboon?" "I smile,ttiadam, because—becaueb . ."he stammered, forgetting what the Persian said. I—that I" "I'll notstaud it!" she exclaimed, and hammered hint \Vith tho basket until he escaped off the platform. "Now firin ovef that, will you?" called after him as she shook the basket in the air. "The Petsian who went around smiiing was a fool dud I am his first cousin!" growled tho man, and he quit sniiling and picked a fight with a~ harness maker:— Detroit Fret Press. ■HJIMOROUM. A DEAF MAN EXPLAINS THINGS.— "Augustus Peialto," said His Honor at the Fifty-seventh Street Police Court yesterday,- "you are charged with being intoxicated; what have you to say? Augustus put his hand over his ear and sa'.d "What?" in A loud tone. "You are drunk/' shouted the Court abruptly. tus with great politeness/ "there's my card." "I don't watrt yottr card. How did you happen to get drunk." "Bolognasaid Augustus smil ing. "Bologna 1" said His Honor, that's a new intoxicant. How old are you?" "Eighteen hundred and Osfentys t wo," said Augustus. "Where did you get your Kqaor?" "In Italv, your Honor." "You were taken to tbe station house in a cart, were you not?" "Yes, sir, we had a stormy voyage; it took us fo'ut rteeks/' "Well," said the Oourt wl% a smile, "how long do you think 1 ought to give you on the island for this offence?" "Thirty-two tears, sir.,' f "Sergeant," Said bis Htfbor," send this mart down stairs and get some one to inform him that he is fined $10." As a newly married couple were passing down Ihe aisle of tbe church of a little village near Liverpool, England, the other day, a young woman threw a baby into tbe bride groom's arms, saying that his wife wife would probably take care of hi* progeny in |he future'. fcIIRIWTIAIY RBIDi I [Cincinnati Euquirer.], Let ine sketch for you thb prbtty face of Christian Rcid, whoso )?lba&ant ' books,''Valerie Ay liner;" ''Morton 1 House," and her last novel "After I Many Days," are well known to you ( I saw her a! the races in Baltimore, and ' afterwards had the pleasure of dining ' with her. She is Miss Fishcr.of North 1 Caropna. and spends her winters in 1 Baltimore with lifer aunt and uncle, Jude and Mrs. Hairstonc, who before : —... • * f tho war, were reckoned the richest. 1 people in the Tar State, and even now enjoy the income from a million. Miss Fisher is poor, and deserves more credit and praise than my pen can carry. She aids in every Whj lifer father's family,which is larget Indeed, 1 understand slio is their itialnstay, She is about twenty-two ofmediiini hl^.lit; With a slight graces lul figure;, which she dresses with exquisite taStte. The small, shapely head is Covcfd by a profusion or' wavy tippling brown hair, done up alter a i carelessly artistic fashion. Her teat", itres arc regular small and vety pretty. Her eyes are large and lusir.ous and bf a very uncertain color. "Al the l aces when I saw her in the stable and Wittchad her as with her uncle she passed among thb horses, carressing aud patting tbem, her eyes looked of a lustrioUs black. At dinner she was talking with d well lilcduing but silly man and her eyes Were of it dead gray. | Later ou she foliuti a congenial spirit and her eyes wero ot the most tbnde.* blue. She is gentle, bxtrdmcly grace ful aud very shy; cannot bear tbe least ieVeretice to her writings, on which subject she is painfully sbustive. IlCr voice is like that of all Southern women low-toned and musical. She tillks well and when Warmed up to the subject, grows postively eloquent. She makes but little from her books. There is quitb a demand tor them, but a friend told me that the Apple tons bought out the copyright of each for a low figure, and that was the end ot it. She spends her sum mers ut home; and her ttlntbfS iVitli her uncle and a mil, whd were de voted to her and very proud of her genious. Her new book is now spoken of as tbe happiest of all hei' offone, and lam told tho first edition is already exhausted. God speed this brave woman, and grant her every success. Hoary Clay a>il the Goal. The folbwing story is told ot the mi.'l boy ol the slashes: Wlifen IH Washington once, Mr. Clay observed a knot of street Arab),, ou pk-asnrablc thoughts gath ering round a goat that was dozing in the situ aud f-oliiftg an Old boot like a sweet morsel under his tongue.— '•What's up, boys?" h6 said affably, •'We're agoing to havfe some fun with the goat," replied the urchins. The great Whig statesmau looked up and down the street; no tMib Was in sight, lie loveu fun, hut had tleter enjoyed ftiu connection with a (roat. '*Boys," said he "I believe I will Have' i. fittlft fun with that goat, too; how do you get it otit ot bim?" Grab him by tbe horns," exclaimed a boy; aud with the divine confidence of Robinson Crusoe or a Mason of the tlilrty-tbfrd degree,- MK Clay seized tbe goat.

On the nigllt succeeding the deuth of the lady, and while a number of friends were sitting in the rodm with the corpse, tlid dog came td the cioor, which was shut, and s6iiltchcd and pawed at it until it wal openfcd, Whbn he deliberately walked to tlie place where the body was lying, sniffed at it once or twice, and thou walked out. The next inot'ning the dog was missing, q fact which was so myste rious and unaccountable. owing to tho known donatio Qualities of the animal, that a member of the famHy sfciit to sße if lie had not been taken up and placed in tho city pound. Nolhing more was seen Or beard of the dog until that afternoon, when, as the funetal reached the entrance to Bellpvue Cemetery, he ran out and met it, and then followel with the mourners to the grave, where he kept up a most dismal howling aud whiiri ing while thb last sad rites to hi* de parted miStrbss Wert* being perform ed.

The land was cotcrb'd with the original forest trees, an acre of which lie has cleared, and now cultivates with his own hands. His charity to Hits f loot gdfcs to the idll extent ot his ufcans which, while suf» fieiciit tor his are not at all ample. The purpose of his life seems to he a continued penance. We are told that he weut through an experi ence similar to this in the Rocky ' Mountains, but finding the rigors of that region too severe for him or any other haraan solicitation, aud that the soli was eo sterile as to dehy even Subsistence, he moved eastward and took dp his rfbcfde Wbfere we ntfw find h'm. He is wfeli infohned, has a good library and is singularly reticent, though not odd. The mortification of the flesh, to which he subjects him self is a preparation of eutarnce iuto (he Romish PHtisthood. At certain seasons he declines to speak above a whisper, even to those who may chance to visit him at his cell, #hlcb Is dug out of the mountain sidfc and comfortably provided; Undet no cir cumstances Will life hold a conversa tion with a female.

It la (related of George Clark, the i celebrated negro minstrel, that being examined aa a Witness, be was very severely intrerogated by thA attorney, who wished to break down his evi dence. "You are in the negrp minstrel business, I believe?" inquired the lawyer. "Yea, sir," Was the the prompt re-» ply. "Isn't that rather a low calling?" demanded the lawyer.- - "I don't know b6t *hat it is, sir," replied the mititftfoljf "but it is so much better &afi my lather's that f am rather proud 6f it" "What was yoir father's call ing?" "He Was a' lawyer," replied Clark, ID' a one of regret that pot the an. diencc in a roar. The lawyer let him alone.

This valley bb'uuds Jerusalem on the North, aud He! below Moutii Zion—a scene of liftpctfshrffrte ciatious. Iu this valley Moloch; tbe natural god of tbe Ammonite*/ was worshiped with the horrid and Inhu man rite of aaci ificing cnifdrerf hi tbe fire. Wheu Josiah, In hi! fondest overthrew this idolatry, he poured contempt Upon the illfcrind practice by casting into the valley the boue« of the departed. In tbe estimation of tho "" eld Hebrew the bones of ttiti dead caufced the greatest ot stll polliftfons. \> hatever person; plsceTor thing h£y torched werd fofthwf-fr considered "unclean."

Ffjfh this cirCuUlstance it bos tame a common receptacle for all the' refuse of tbe city of JertisajAn. Herb large quantities of veg. etable matter were constantly thrown. Tbfs putrescent matter generated an abundance of #orma; the worms here' never died. To" prevent the noxious elfiavia, springing from thiß mass of corruption, poisoning the atmosphere and breathing disease apd death into the beaft ff the city, fires were kept farrnfng day and night. This valley,- therefore, was literally a place'-whei'e the worm never died, and where tbe? fire was never quenched," . -VvJ. fi
