IIUMOItOtfS SELECTIONS. a rr-a on rlpiwman nreached a sermon in a billiard saloon last Sun- J day. He made nineteen points. One who wishes the world to know about farming, says that the beat way to raise strawberries is with a spoon. A little girl, once hearing the re mark .that all- people had once been children, artlessly inquired, "Who MM ?tia Ho Mm V A poor family In Green Bay bad to mortgage their six dogs last week to get a Darrel of flour. The case is a pitiable one. "8am, why don't you talk to your master, and tell him to lay up treasure In heaven?" "Wha's de use of layln up treasure dar? He never see um again." Western Editors are becoming polite. One said, recently, of an other that he was prone to im part an unhealthy swelling to the troth." It seems to me I have seen your physiognomy somewhere be fore, but I cannot imagine where." Very likely: I have been the keep er of a prison for. the last twenty years." A father was winding his watch, when he said playfully to his little girl, Let me wind your nose up!" "No." said the child I don't! want my nose wound up, for I don's want it to run all day. " To holdln a postmortitn exami naahnn on a hoss who was after wards recovered, tl.50," was one of the items in a horsedoctors bin paid by an Oregon stock owner. ' .. - Serenading is carried to such an extent in Bloomington, 111., that the old people never think of going to bed without taking a loaded shot gun with' them, and stuffing their ears full of cotton. A Dutch Congressman remarked: Ven I vas -elected I thought I vould find all Solomons down here; but I found dere vas some as pig fools here as I vas mineself." An Indiana editor mildly re marks: Ufyou can't bring us wood. remember us in your, prayers. It is 1 something to know, as we sit and shiver, that we are not forgotten if the stove is cold." Doctor," said a man to Aber nethy, "my daughter had a fit and continued for half an lour without knowledge." 'Oh," replied the doctor, "never mind that, many people continue so all (heir lives !" A few days ago a very handsome lady entered a dry goods house and Inquired for a "beau." The polite clerk threw himself back and re marked that he was at her service. "Yes, but I want a buff, not a green one," was the reply. The young man went on measuring goous im mediately. "What's your business ?" asked a judge oa prisoner at the bar. "Well. I 8'pose you might call me a lock smith." . "When did yon last work at your trade?" "Last night ; when I heard a call for the perlice, I made a bolt for the front door." A Httle four-year-old in Rich mond, very fond of a certain dish, when asked by his mother if he wouldn't like to be an anel with wings, and fly about heaven like his little dead brother, replied. after a pause:" No ma: I'd a heap rather be a hawk, and live on chick en." " Is there any person you would Dartlcularly wish me to marry?" said a widow expectant to her dying a do use who had been somewhat of a tyrant In his day. " Marry the devil If you like 1" was the gruff re ply. " Oh no, my dear, you Know it is not lawful to marry two broth ers, ti Married. On the 5th inst., by Rev. Mr. Jones, H. V. Bee to Miss Susan It. Hive. How busy hath this little Bee Improved life's shining hour; He gathers honey now all day, From one sweet chosen flower, And from this 2ire, If heaven pleases, They'll raise a swarm of little Beeses. If ypu will watch a squad of men who are-standing on a corner, or lounging about a public entrance, you will soon observe one of them carefully put his band In his pocket, keep It there a moment while he sweeps the horizon with an abstract ed glance, and then drawing it forth wipoihis mouth with the cuff. Whed hU hand comes down again a chew of tobacco Is in his mouth, and those about him who have no tobacco are none the wiser. AGIUC UIjTURAI Farming as a Business. It Is a little remarkable that while more persons are engaged in farming j than any other pursuit, it is hard ly looked upon as a business. Men commence and continue arming as a way to make a living, and not as a means to increase capital, au the prominent features of legiti mate business are wanting in the nractice of atrriculture as it Is car ried on. There Is no massing of extensive capital, rarely a partner ship and never to our knowledge, the formation of a stock company, for the Duroose of carrying on farm- Iner. A farmer who keeps a set of books is looked unon as a wonder, or a man who has mistaken his calling for that of a tradesman. The inventory of most farmers ef fects Is taken once in a life time, or ratherjust after the farmers lifetime has expired. We often hear of cap italist taking time to look into va rious branches of manufacturing, trade and transportation, with a view of investing their fortunes, though singular enough, they nev er examine the merits of farming as a business in which to put in a large amount of money. Occasion ally they buy farming land, to get the rise on it, and may improve a portion of It for pastime, or to help pay the taxes on the remain der. Prairie Farmer. Census Truths. In 1870. the farms of Nebraska were worth more , than thirty millions of dollars, but , in i860 they were appraised at less than four millions of dollars. In ten years Nebraska multiplied her agricultural "Values nearly ten times. NO other State in the American Union made such rapid advance Da en t in solid wealth. t The entire orchard products of Nebraska In 1860, amounted to the value of one hundred and twenty five dollars, the oldest orchard, then in the State, beinsrfour vears of ace: but in 1870 the orchard products of Nebraska amounted to nine thou sand nine hundred and thirty and two dollars. And to day, in 1878. we have single orchards which in 1S72, produced seven thousand dol lors worth of fruit. Why should reasonable men fling Jeers in the face of facts like the above, and decry a State which has no equal in all that tends to the de-, velopment of material wealth and prosperity? The value of farm implements used in Nebraska in 1870, was one million five hundred and forty-nine thousand seven hundred and six teen dollars, but in 1860, two hun dred and five thousand doUars cov ered the cost of all the agricultural utensils In the State. Omaha Pio neer. Clover in tlio 8011th. Wherever in North or South Carolina or in Georgia clover has been tried, it has proved a success, wherever it has been seeded in a proper manner. In this section of North Carolina, it is establishing itself as a most remunerative crop. All that is required to produce it in any section of the Stale is a pro- per preparation of the soil. Why it is that Southern farmers will let their lands lie idle and import hay at very high prices, when they can produce more to tbe acre than can those from whom they buy it, and of a superior quality, is beyond our comprehension. There are some fine plots of clover in this and ad joining counties, some of which we expect soon to notice more at length. The season for sowing is not quite past, and wo hope far mers will seed down as extensive ly as they can this spring. Ex change. Information to Horse Own ers. Keep the legs of your horses clean, as dirt is productive of dis ease. To get horses out .of a burning building, harness them as if for their usual work, and they will follow you out as if nothing was the matter. To cure a balky horse, tie his tail to a wiffle tree, just so that when his mate pulls a little, a strain will come on his tail. Instead of beat ing a balky horso, try this simple remedy. Scratches and htel cracks are cured by the following method, wash the feet cleau, then ary thoroughly, and apply carbolic alve at least twice a day. Pursue the same icourse for saddle and collar galls. Hot Water fob Founder. A corresponbent writes to one of our exchanges: I had a horse which was very badly foundered with grain. He could not stand for sev eral days, and was swung with a tackle. I thought his case hopeless, and' considered him not worth a dollar, but concluded to do what I could for his relief. In the first place I physicked him, then I took a tight strong box, got his feet in it and poured boiling hot water into it as high as the hair on 'his feet and in ten or fifteen minutes he was able to stand on his fore legs without the assistance of the tackle. I kept up this treatment for thirty six hours, when he was able to ero aoout ana neip nimseif. In a few days I had his shoes put in less than a fortnight was able to work as well on, and more he as ever. Girdle Trees. About the beat preventative against injury by rab bits in the orchard is to smear the bark with blood, Butcher's offal, fresh beef, or hog's liver. Some hor ticulturists wrap the tree stem with heavy paper and apply over this a coating of tar or rancid oil. Tar or grease, applied directly to the bark, would nrobablv seriously in jure it, if it did not kill the tree. Where the bark has been stripped or gnawed away, an application of iresn cow manure, fastened on with an old cloth, is decidedly the best method of mending the wound and Inducing a fresh growth.

In December, 1872, the Grand Lodge of Masons ordered the opening of an asylum at Oxford, for the protection, training and education of indigent and promising orphans. Several weeks were occupied with necessary preparations, and, in February, 1873, the work began. Some foresaw nothing but failure, and predicted that spontaneous donations would not sustain such an institution. Others determined that so lar as its suc cess depended on them, their whole duty should be performed, j Lodges, churches, benevolent societies and lib eral individuals have supported it by their voluntary contributions, and many helpless and hopeless orphans have been placed where wholesome food, comfortable clothing and faithful instruction will-make them intelligent land useful citizens.. The laws of the land afford but little protection to or phans and the hard hand o( avarice often nolds them in sad and shameful slavery. Legislators disregard their appeals. Orphans cannot vote, their fathers are all dead and the rich seldom espouse the cause of thpir poor relations. " Careful observation has shown that, by close economy, each orphan may be fed, clothed and taught for five dollars a month. In order that different sections of tbe State may be represented, and that the most urgent and most need y applicants may be admitted, about two hundred orphans should be kept in the asylum. Their expenses will amount to twelve tnousana aenars a year. 10 insure the permanence oi me institu tion and the continuance of its work, there ought to be some provision for its support for at least five years. If sixty lodges, churches, benevolent societies or individuals will each pay one hundred dollars every year for five years; if seventy lodges, churches, benevolent societies or individuals will each pay fifty dollars every year for five years ; and it one nunareu joages cnuicnes. benevolent societies or individuals will each pay twenty-five dollars every year for live years, tne people win men ap preciate the value of the work and in some way make it permanent. Thus, for food, clothingand instruction, twelve thousand dollars a year may ie raised and smaller contributions will supply furniture and fixtures. Will the friend of orphans raise this amount? The question is now before them. Direct contributions are earnestly so licited. No countenance should be given to those who wish to grind their axes at the expenses of the orphans, neither should public attention be diverted by new schemes for raising money out of others. When people feel for orphans they should feel in their own pockets and contribute as the Lord has pros pered them. Contributions for this year aDd pledges for future years should be sent to the Superintendent, at Oxford. JOU.N JN1C11ULS, ; Grand Mas tor. J. H. Mills, Superintendent Orphan Asylum. feb 22- If. W.
