What Railroad Do for Farmers
To baul fortj bushels of corn fifty miles
on a wagon would coet at least $12 for
team, drirer and expenses, A railroad
would traeport it at $4 at most. Allowing
anaferage of forty bnshels per acre, tbe
crop would be worth $3 more per aere,
or8 per cent, cn $IC0. Aa tbe relative
adrantpge is about tbe same for other
crops, it is elear that a railroad passing
through a town would add $110 per acre
to the Talne of tbe farms. A town ten
railea square contains $54,000 acres. An
increase of $100 per acre is equal to $6,
400,000, or enough to build 200 miles of
railroad, eren if it cost $52,000 per mile.
But 200 miles of road would extend
through twenty towns ten miles square,
and cost but $10 per acre if taxed upon
the land These figures are given merely
as an illustration. If the farmers had
taxed themselves to build all the railroads
in this country, and given them away to
any companies that would stock and run
them, the present increased value of their
lands would have well repaid all the oat

'Jcst as I Expected." An old Ialy
was one night reading a passage in tbe
Bible which speaks of faith that can re
move mountains. Now there was behind
ber humble dwelling a high hill, which
hid the nearest village from view. She
had often wished this hill might be ta
ken away; so beforo retiring she prayed
that it might be romoved, because she
had faith that it would be done. But in
the mornig when she arose, she lifted her
curtain and 1) ! the mountain was still
there. Then tbe old woman said to her
son . "Jus' as I expected, John, the old
hill stands there yet '
The carrying of weapons is forbidden
in France to persons in civil life, but an
invention has been made which, while
conforming with the law, is a partial aid
as a means of defense against night rob
bers. It consists of a small horn insert
ed in the head of a cane, which contains
an electrio battery and a small lamp with
two powerfnl reflectors. The intensity
of this light, it in said, temporary, blinds
any person at whom it is pointed. The
lamp is kindled it will, by pressing a
small knob at the other end of the stick
which communicates with an electric
wire.
Longfellow says : "The little I have
seen of the world teaches mo to look
upon the errors of others in sorrow, not in
anger. When I take the history of one
poor heart, that has sinned and suffered,
and represent to myself the struggles
and temptations it has passed through,
the brief pulsation of joy, the feverish
inquitude of hope and fear, the Treasure
of want, the desertion of frier ds, I would
la:n leave tbe erring soul of my fellow
man with litm from whose hands it
came."
A gentleman who bad the curiosity to
spend a dime in answering an advertice
ment which promised valuable advise for
that amount, received by mail the fol
lowing answer : "friend, for ten cents
postage, please find enclosed good advice
which might be of great value to you
as many persons are miureJ for weeks
month, and years by the careless use of a
anilo therefore, my advice is, when you
use a KJiie always whittle from you.

Die resemoianc to eacn otner, are in
the habit of shaving at the tame shop
One morning one of them entered the
shop and was shaved by a German
who had been at work for a day or two
About noon another brother came
and underwent a similar operation by
the same barber. In the evening
tbe third one made - his appearance
wnen the barber dropped his razor and
exclaimed: "Veil mien Jiimmell! Da
man has the fastest beard I ever saw.
I shaves him dis morning; I shaves

back mit his beard so as never wa?.

Great applause Las been bestowed
upon Rubens because with on stroke of
his brush, he tvrned a laughing child
into a crying ona, in a painting, but
many a parent has turned a child's ex
pression from joy to grief by a single
without ever getting any credit for it.
A man in Orange county, N. J.,
was found one night climing over an
overshot wheel in a fulling mill. He
was asked what he was doing; He
said he was trying to get up to bed but
somehow or other the stairs would not
hold still.

other, "Sam, does your schoolmaster

I spose he does," was the reply;
he gives me a lickin' every day and
says I merit two."
The Farmer's Cabinet says a pieco of

in this way, they may bo kept laying all
