Past mos in` lots full of whiteweed and fringed with elder -blows, Gatherin' sweet clover for Susie to put in her eveddin' clo'es ; Latin' blackberries black, as her eyes or raspber- ries red as her lips; Coanti n' chipmunks runnen' an' listenin' to their chipa, And the red wings " Chee-ree !" an' the loud " Bob White" of the quail; Watchin' the cit bird sing, with a sassy flirt of hi stall; - An' a toss of his head like Susie's when she'd said suthin' mean to tease ; Hearin' the yellow -hammer's young ones' cry in the trees, Thinkin' at every bunch of hazel -nuts by the wall, Or meant, or blossomite chestnut, " rn bring her here next fall."

Mrs. Simples—" His name is going to: be William I Want him to be a great poet like Shakespeare. His name was Will- iam,,you know." e —" Is he a young man of braille?" inquired an old. gentleman respecting a swell yeuth. " Well, really, replied his daughter, "I have had no oppor- tunity of judging. I never met him anywhere except in society." 1 —" What do they do when they, in a minister ?" inquired a small boy: "do they put him in a stall and feed him ?" " Not always," said the father : "sometimes.they harnesshim to ;the church and expect him to draw it alone." —Minister (to boy who is digging I for worms)—" Little boy, don't you • kpow that it is wrong to work on Sunday, !ex- cept in cases of necessity ?" Boy (ging on with his digging)—" This is a case of necessity.

Swell No. 2 (equal to the occasion)—" Thanks, my man; got one from the other fellow." , —A woman on a Rock Wand train the other day had a small dog with her, which seemed to be out of sorts about something, and disturbed the passen- gers not a little by its whining. At length a man who sat in the next seat forward faced about and said, "is the little fellow sick ?" "Oh, no," said his mistress; but I think he wants a drink of water." "Then I will get him some," said the gentleman, good-naturedly, as he took a cup from a satchel and started to go to the cooler. "Hold.on !" ex- claimed the woman, with alarm, as she handed him a cup of her own. "Take this, please. I am very particular what cup my dog drinks out of." After watering the pup, the stranger went in- to the smoker and offered the brakeman the news, you know. There is hard- ly anything happens "that I don't hear about." F.—" How nice! Are you going to Mrs. Jones's eilver -wedding ?" F. M. C.—" I guess not. I've got no five dollars to throw away for silver. Mrs. Jones sent a bouquet to my uncle's funeral that I could have bought for twenty-five cents: But I must bid you good -by. Business before pleasure you know. F, "That's so. Good -by.. You must come and see me some evening." F. M. C.—" Yes, I will. Good -by. Oh; by the way, rshould like to get the patter d of that sacque you wore last Sunday." F.—" I'll be very glad to lend it to you. Don't you think that Mary Brown is a perfect fright in that new bonnet of hers ?" F. M. C.—" Oh, don't speak of it. Such a monstrosiiky I never saw before. But she has no taste. So you think my polonaise looks well ?" F.—" I think it's perfectly lovely." F. M. C.—" Well, good -by." F. — " Good -by. Have you heard from your sister Jane lately a F. M. C.—" Oh, yes. Her husband has iot an appointment ae coal shoveler on board of a government scow. Jane is doing well. We expect her on here in a week or tveo." F.—" That'll be pleasant. ' If you could stop a moment, I've got some very pretty trimming, I could ahow you that I bought for my bathing suit." F. M. C.—"I'm so sorry, but I'm afraid I must go. I've delivered only two letters yet, and I've got about three hundred more." •F.—" Well, come down some evening and I'll show it to you." F. M. C. —" Yes, I will. Good -by." F.—"Good by." F. M. C.—" I hope Mamie will be over the measles soon." F.—" Thank you. I guess she'll get along." F. M. C.—" Good -by," Good -by. Don't forget to come and see us." F. M. C.—",I won't. Good -by." F.—" Good -by. You have a hard day before you." F. M. C.—" Oh, I don't mind it much. Good -by." .F.—"Good-by." The same thing is repeated at the houee of the next female acquaintance, and when the carrier returns from her first delivery at ten o'clock at night, she dashes her bag upon the desk and ex- claims :— " There !

Englishman will tell you, though few could say why Rome was chosen as an example, and whether it is more 'neces- sary, when in Rome, to follow the gen- eral lead, than in anywhere else is to us a 'matter of doubt.

"That which cqmes with the flood returns with the ebb." -That " a burnt child dreads the fire," is perfectly true, as every one will admit; our neighbors go further than this, and in choosing a "scalded cat" as the ob- ject of consideration, speak of it as being in fear of " cold " water even; thus exi- pressing the natural distrust of ,the cat, after having once been scalded, as extending even to " cold " water. oney makes the mare go," and "For mbney, dogs dance."—Chambers' Jour- nal. • Good. Quality and Quantity. - Every day the close relation between the stomach and brain, between health and the work accomplished, is more truly recognized. A contributor to "Macmillan's Magazine" says : . "It is clear that with the wise men of old quantity rather than quality was the ruling law: not What a man ate, but how much he ate, was the capital thing ,for him to consider. A tolerably simple diet is advised, though the wise Lessius holds that the ! quality of the food matters little, so that the man be healthy;• but whatever it be, let there be moderation; measure is the one thing needful. 'the difficulty of finding this measure is confessed: 'Lust knows not,' says St. Augustine, 'where ne- cessity ends.' By the time he had reach- ed his thirty-sixth year Corneae had accustomed himself to a daily measure of twelve ounces 1 of food and foutteen of drink—which does not, I own, convey a very exact notion to me, though i take it we Garga,ntuans should find' the measure small. He does not seem to have been particular what he ate, and he did not shun wine. ' I chose that wine,' he says, 'which fitted my tom- 1,1 ach, and in such measure as easily ight be digested,' He found it no labor to • write immediately after meals. Or contrary, his spirits were then so that he had to sing a song to get r his superfluous energies before s' • down to his desk. Lessius is 1 commit himself , to any certain s 'If thou dost usually take so much at meals as thou art thereby made for the duties and offices belongi g to the mind, . . . it is then evident that thou' dost exceed the measure which thou oughtest to hold.' lie tel Is, on ancient authority, some marvelous of how little men have found enou keep body and- soul together; ho throve through a long life on milk how another lived for- twenty years on cheese." Every intelligent person must be a The Power of Cocaine. Dr. Leonard, Corning, of this city,. well-known as a writer on nervous dis- eases, recently read before the State Medical Society, in session at Alb–any, an interesting paper on the cure of neu- ralgia by the use of cocaine. The. method devised by Dr. Corning for in- troducing the, remedy into the skin about the afflicted nerves, and retaining it there, is ingenious. A number of fine needles are projected into the skin by, means of a delicate instrument provided with a spring. This procedure i abso- lutely painless owing to the fineness of the needles and the exceedingly rapid action of the spring, whiche being re- leased instantaneously, propels the for- mer through the outer layer of the skin. Over -the perforated portion .of the skin a sponge satueate4 with a solution of cocaine is placed. This sponge is con- nected with the positive pole of a gal- vanic battery. The electrid circuit is then closed, a procedure which causes the cocaine to enter the part, so that in •about ten minutes the skin is saturated and quite insensitive. Over the -medi- cated portioo of the skirl a piece Of wire gauze is now placed and secured in po- sition by means of an elastic band, which, on being tightened sufficiently, exerts a uniform pressure upon the gauze. . The effect of this procedure is to cause closure of the capillaries be- neath the medicated skin, and as a re- sult the blood, being thus denied access to the part, can not wash out the remedy and distribute it throughout the general circulation. Thus the action of the remedy upon the nerves of the skin niay be indefinitely prolooged.—New YOrk Mail and Express. Pen 'ale Mail Carriers. The Indianapolis Herald thinks it would be well to employ women as mail carriers. We are afraid that women are not adapted to the occupation. A mail carrier must get over the ground expe- ditiously, and this is something a woman could hardly do if she had a female acquaintance on her route. When two female friends meet, they are extremely social and wonderfully effusive. We think the system would operate in, about this way :— Female mail carrier (after ringing door -bell, which is answered by a fe- male friend)—" Good morning. Here's a letter. It has the Portland postmark and must be from John." Friend –"Good morning. Yes, it's , from John. What a beautiful morning!" F. ,M . C.—" Yes ; it's just too awful- ly lovely for anything. Are you all well?" F.—" Pretty well:: as well as can be expected with baby tee -thing and Mamie down with the measles." F. M. C.—" Yes, I heard that Mamie was sick, but it ain't dangerous, I guess, if you keep her from the draughts; as for the baby, yoft must expect that she'll be fusty when she's teething." Oh, I don't complain, but it's a great trouble, you know. ThaVe a handsome polonaise you've got on." F. M. C. (flushing with pleasure)— " Do you think so ?" (Turns around so that her friend may obtain a f all view of it.) Mother says it looks very nice. I made it myself." F.--" I want to know. Ain't you a little late this morning?" F. M. C.—" Yes, I went home for a little while to read over the postal cards, for one don't like to be seen doing it on the street; but la! there ain't anything in 'ern of any account." F.—." I :suppose not. Still, it must be a great comfort to have the oppor- tunity to read.' em. I should think you would be tired tramping around." • F. M. C.—" Oh, no. It ain't so tire- some -as you would think. I hear all Wilbur Voted Aye. Everybody in Dakota knows Wilbur E. Steele. He was a member Of the Legislature from Steele county. There is an iecident in Steele's legislative career fiat goes very far to show his characteristic regard for his wife. Be has one fault, however. He takes no stock in woman. suffrage—except when he is obliged to. On the occasion in question the Woman Suffrage Bill liftitS before the House. Major Pickley was championing the cause of the fair sex in elocient words, when a call was made fer a vote, and the clerk proceeded to call the roll. When Steele's name was reach ed he rose with the dignity of a Demos thenes and commenced: Mr. Speaker, I am sorry that I canno support this bill, but— At that moment a well-dressed lac was seen to bend over the gallery ra I In a loud voice she exelaimed : b -u -r. He glanced upward. It was enoug He turned and said: Mr. Speaker, a vote aye. , The lady was Steele's wife.—Minne- apolis Journal. • French and English Saws. We English seem to have selected the mouse as an emblem in our ":As dumb as a mouse ;" the French have preferted a glass, for they say, "As dumb as a glass." We say " As deaf as a post ;" the French, "As deaf as a pot." As dull as ditch water," nallicized, becomes "As sad as a nightcap." " Doift count your chickens before they are hatched," is changed into "Don't sell the skin of a bear before having killed it," Instead of "Biting off one's nose to spite one's face," a similar useless experiment is illustrated by " Spitting in the air that it may fall on one's nose." The self evi- dent impossibility in the words, "You can't get blood out of a stone," is repre- sented by "One could not comb a thing that has no hair." (This last also "goes without saying," which, as literally translated from the French, now forms a proverb in our own language.) In the proverb, One man may lead a horse to theavater, but a hundred can't make him drink," our _neighbors have not in- appropriately selected an " ass" as the illustrative animal.

SEED BARLEY FOR SALE.—The undersigned has on hand a number of bushels of a new variety of six rowed barley, called the Mansard, which they offer for{ sale It is 'perfectly free from all foul seeds of any kind. We have grown it now for two semions and have thoroughly tested its good qualities and are now in a posi- tion to recommend it to our brother farmers as one of the best varit es of six rowbd barley ever introduced into the county of , Huron. The i points of -imperiorit3. over the common variety are as folloWe : It gr ws longer and coarser straw and in regard to stir ness it is more like wheat straw than that of barley, consequently it stands up splendidly. It has a longer head, a larger grain, and will yield at the lowest calculation 10 bushels per acre moi -e than the common variety of barley, besides it is recommended by the brewers as being equal to the common barley for their purposes. A sample of the said barley will be left at J. 13rownell's grocery store, Sea - forth, for inspection. All orders sent by mail can be addressed to Srucefield or to Seaforth P.
