“ Any important news in railroad circles

into the office and hastily began to scribble 
on a pad. “Yes, there must be a frightful

When one sees one of those muscular,

exasperatingly on the violiit, he cannot help 
thinking how much better it would be for suf¬

gies to cords of wood.— Gorham Moun¬

“Is it true, Angelina,” said a young lady ad¬ 
dressing an acquaintance, “that there has 
been a rupture between you and Clarence De

was the cause?” “He was addicted to the use 
of slang.” “Oh I” “Yes, I begged him to dis¬ 
continue the habit, but he persisted in it.” 
“And the result?” “The result is, he is in the 
soup.”— Boston Courier. 
Mrs. Esthete (in old furniture depot): “I 
am looking for a genuine antique bed-room 
set. The proprietor is out, is he?” New Boy: 
“Yes, boss won’t be back for an hour. We’ve 
got what you want, though.” “Have you? 
Oh I Oh! I’m delighted. But perhaps iUts a 
new set made in imitation of an old?” “No’me; 
it’s genuine, I guess. The boss told me to put 
insect powder on it this morning.”— Tim% 
A Small boy is rather slow in committing 
prayer to memory, and requires a good deal 
of prompting. The other night he began in 
his regular way: “Now—1—lay—me”—-and 
there he stuck fast. “Down,” said his "moth¬ 
er prompting. Whereupon Johnny set off 
again with great alacrity and fluency :.“Down 
came a blackbird and nipped off her nose!” 
This fable teaches that the preference of the 
present generation for secular over sacked 
literature begins at an early age.— Boston 
Transcript. 
Photograph of a Field of Corn raised on Stockbridge by J. B. Grimtlis & Sons, Newmarket, N. H. 
Yield 400 baskets from 2hj acres. 
The introduction of the Stockbridge Corn Manure in 1876, by Prof. Stockbridge of the Mas¬ 
sachusetts Agricultural College, gave a great impetus to New England agriculture, and was the 
means of inducing farmers to raise corn rather than buy it, thereby saving thousands of dollars 
to eastern farmers. Before this fertilizer was introduced, it w&s thought that corn could be 
bought cheaper than it could bo raised ; but farmers soon learned that with the Stockbridge 
Corn Manure and improved tools they could raise it for from 25 to 50 cents per bushel, and that 
the stoker, if properly cured, was worth almost as much as stock hay—at least $8 per ton—and 
that the two or three tons stover raised per acre would pay for the fertilizer the corn remain¬ 
ing to pay for the labor and profit. The staudard of the Stockbridge Corn Manure having 
been kept up to that of 1876, more farmers are using it than ever before.
