BAGGAGE TRAIN.

From the American Agriculturist. BLINKS FROM A LANTERN. BY DIOGENES (REDIVIVUS.) i find that my lantern is likely to be in great demand, and that I shall have all the help I want in searching for a farmer. The next day after its light be"an to shine, I had a call from a man who farmed five hundred acres. He seemed to be greatly astonished that an inquiry had been made for a farmer. They were plenty in his region, and if I would call over, I could see one man at least that understood his busines. He had a very slim opinion of gardens and these seven by nine farms. He liked to do up business on a generous scale. The man talked so fluently, and was so courteous that I immediately lighted my lantern, and went to see A LARGE FARM. On my way I pictured to myself a very splendid mansion, large barns, good, substantial stone fences, smooth meadows, large herds of cattle, a sty full of sleek porkers, yards full of fowls, and all the surroundings ot a man of wealth. I found, instead, a two-story dwelling house, but, for its size, might have been mistaken for a packing-box, and all the surroundings of a large owner of real estate, and a very poor cultivator. The barn was built to accommodate about twenty cows, and the pig-sty was simply a rail-fence with a hovel in one corner, used for three months in the year ' when the pigs were put up to fatten. He had carts, ' sleds, wagons, harrows, cultivators, sleighs, carriages, but no particular place for any of them except the carriage. That had a house built for it, and it was usually left there, but is was oftentimes hard crowded with plows, rakes, chains, ox-yokes, and with the mowingmachine, which had just made its advent, and was the special pride of its owner. There was no particular place for anything, and just as we drove up, the colored boy was in a peck of trouble about the pin to the cart-tongue. That useful article, it seems, was made ' to do double service upon the tongue of the sled, the cart and the ox-wagon, and in the change from the sledding to the carting, it had been mislaid, as the owner said, though I was not able to see how a thing could be mislaid, when there was no particular place assigned to lay it. The cart was under the shed and the oxen-yoked ready to put on. The sled was under the apple-tree, turned up side of the wall, where it had been left in the last snow. .The ox-cart was at the ' lower end of the wood pile under the big "ellum-tree," as they loved to call a gigantic elm, that was a real glory to the place, but which the owner did not seem to value much. "What's the oxen stannin' here for all the morning, Jo?" "Can't find the cart-pin, massa!" "Where have you looked for it ?" " "I'se looked for him ebbery where, massa, in de sled, in de cart, in de carriage-house and in de corn-crib. I'se looked for him all de morning, and no find him. Gny, massa, make me tink, for allde world, of de song Aunt Sally sing so much : Goosey, goosey, gander, Where do you wander T I reckon he's lost," "Lost! you blockhead, I saw you crackin' nuts with it last week in the horse-stable." , v "Whew, massa, nebber thought of dat Dis child rek'lects." Jo stirred himself diligently upon this refreshing of his memory, and the lost pin was found, where it was last used, on top of a pile of walnut-shells. The team was put upon the cart-tongue, and Jo went off to his work at ten o'clock in the morning. This little incident, very unimportant in itself, shed a flood of light upon the management of this farm. It had no efficient head; indeed, I could see by the hang of Jo and the other hired men that I fell in with, that the owner did not exactly know whether he was the ' head of the establishment or Jo, or big Mike, who had Eved several years upon the farm, and knew all about the business, unless he was mistaken. It required no . lantern to see that things went easy with the hands, and that nobody felt conscience-stricken, if he was not in the field by seven in the morning. The need of a ten-hour system was not felt here, for the relief of oppressed labor. This five hundred-acre farm was inherited, and the owner had been five years in possession. He also in- . herited some thousands of dollars in bank-stock, and had sufficient capital to make every acre of it pay him handsome dividends. It was naturally good land, and, with a judicious expenditure of money and labor, it could be made a handsome fortune. I looked over the farm, lantern in hand, and found as stock, four horses, six oxen, thirty cows, and a few young cattle and sheep. There were a hundred acres in mowing, fifty in gram and potatoes, fifty in woodland, and three hundred in pasture. The meadows cut but a trifle over a tun of hay to the acre, and the yield of corn was rarely more than thirty-five bushels to the acre. The root crops were not cultivated, with the exception of a few potatoes and turnips for the table. The labor employed was in keeping with the crops. The owner himself did not work much in the field, and had no competent overseer to manage them. It was left pretty much to ; the inspiration of Jo, and the wisdom of big Mike, who staid through the whole year, while the other ' five hands only worked through the summer and fall. I endeavored to show the light of the lantern upon THE BAD ARITHMETIC of the owner. His present number of stock, and much more, could be supported in good condition upon two hundred and fifty acres. One-half of his farm, at least, was ly ing; idle. It was like his cart-pin when Joe could not find it, of no use to anybody. He did not use it, or get any returns from it, because a few cattle roamed over it and grazed the scanty herbage. If the whole farm was worth ten thousand dollars, there were five thousand dollars of dead capital, for which he received no returns. On the contrary, he had to pay taxes on it just as heavy as upon the part of the farm that he used. It was actually a bill of expense to him. But he could not understand this at first, because he was very sanguine in the belief that he did use the whole surface of his farm, perpendicularly and horizontally. A farm has depth as well as area, and he who only . uses the first four inches of the upper crust of his farm as really loses the other half below, as if he cut off onehalf of its superfices. This was a new sum in arithmetic to him, and he confessed himself convinced. . . ; A PEEP AT THE BANK-STOCK. ' This large farmer, as he loved to call himself, had his five thousand dollars in bank-stock, paying him, on an average, seven per cent His farming capital, as lie managed it, did not pay him three per cent. Yet, 1 his neighbor, with only a hundred acres of land, not a whit better, makes his farming capital pay him ten per ' cent. He has no bank-stock, but always keeps a tew hundreds in the bank on deposit, ready to make a good bargain, when he wants to buy stock, or anything else, cheap for cash. He says he can manage his own capital better than anybody else can manage it for him. He plows deep, manures high, drains, and sees to his own business in person. He uses as much labor as the man with five hundred acres, and actually cuts more grass, and gets more grain, using it all upon the farm, and sometimes buying. There is nothing to hinder the large landholder from applying all his capital to his business, and getting like returns for its use. The present account of his capital stands thus : $5,000 in the surface of his farm, half used, three per cent.; $5,000 in the unused subsoil, minus one per cent for taxes and other drawbacks; $5,000 in bank-stock, seven per cent The new account which he will open, when he opens his eyes wide enough, will stand thus $15,000 all invested in his business, and paying ten per cent, with no failure of dividends, by reasons of defaulting cashiers and presidents. Diogenes knows of men, who get twelve per cent for their farming capital, wholly employed in the legitimate business of tilling the soil, and selling its animal and vegetable products, and is still in doubt whether they came up to the true standard of farming. As to this large farm, which is the type of at least one-half the farming in the older States, it vanished under the light of the lantern. It is no farm at all, but a half cultivated waste; an ingenious contrivance to cheat men of fair dividends. Shall I ever find a farmer ? Dad Morton's Minister; or, How Mr. B Became Converted -Dad Morton, in his "onconckus" moments, sometimes perpetrates a joke. The following, relating to the conversion of his pastor, really merits preservation. I give it in Dad's peculiar phraseology:

"The parson cum to our village when I wos a little feller. His first appearance wos flatterin' and his sarmons powerful santhin'. Everybody thought he allers had been a good Christian till' Squire Brazee cum to

live next us. 'ihe Squire was eduicatea in the same school with the parson, down at the academy in , and. of course, knowed all about his carryin'son. He told the folks that the parson was a wonderful bad boy in school, and that them teachers of his'n couldn't do nothin with him. One mornin , dunn prayer time, he stuck a bent pin under Lum Selleck, an' een' a most gin him the lockjaw. Mister B , the schoolmaster, couldn't stand no such actions as them, so he draw'd him tight over his knee, and guv him sech a bastin' with the flat sibe of the ruler that he haint bin able to backslide sence. Arter this story got out, the parson hed to leave, and I b'leeve he's a preechin' now down in York." TAKING THE STARCH OUT. A lot of idlers stood upon the end of a pier which ran out into the Hudson River, in one of the small towns near Albany, N. Y., a few days ago, amusing themselves with throwing stones into the broad stream, each vieing with the other in the endeavor to pitch the missil at the furthest distance from the shore, when a tall, rugged-built Vermonter, just from the Green Hills, suddenly made his appearance in their midst, and for a while remained a quiet observer of their movements. He was a brawny, good-looking Yankee, and was very decently clad. The efforts of the little party had been exhibited over and over again, when the stranger quietly picked up half a brick which lay near him, and gave it a jerk, it fell into the water a long way beyond the line which had as yet been reached by the foremost of the crowd. At the conclusion of this feat a loud bravo went up from half a dozen voices around him. It was a clear day in October, and the men, determined not to be outdone, renewed their attempts; but the Vermonter, without saying a syllable to any one, continued to pitch the pebbles far into the tsream, which seemed to annoy one of them, in a green jacket, the apparent leader of the gang, who declared he wouldn't be beaten by a "feller right straight out o' the woods, no how," and sidling up to the starnger, he determined to make his acquaintance. "Where did you come from, neighbor?" inquired the other. "Me! Wal, I hails from Vermont, just now, friend !" "You hayn't been in these parts long, I reckon?" "Wal, no. Not edzackly yere but up and down, sorter. "Yes so I 'spose." "Yaas," continued the green'un, carelessly; seizing a big billet of wood, he whirled it over his head, and landed it several rods from the shore into the water. "You've a little strength in your arms, neighbor?" "Some pumpkins in them nippers, stranger. Up m our'taown, more'n a month ago, I driv them are knuckles rite strut thru a board, mor"n a ninsh 'half thick!" "Haw, haw!" shouted his hearers, the man in the green 'jacket laughing the loudest. "May be you don't b'live it" t i " Not much," answered the crowd. "We ain't very green down here in York we ain't," said he in the green jacket, "you see." "Wal, jes you look yere, friend," continued the Vermonter in the most plausible manner, "up in aour country we've a purty big river, considering. Inyun River, it's called, and maybe you've heerd on it Wal, I hove a man clean across that river t'other day, and and he cum down fair and square ou the other side." "Ha, ha, ha, !" yelled his auditors. "Wal, now, you may laff, but I can do it again." "Do what?" said the green jacket, quietly. "I can take and heave you across that river yonder, jest like the open and shet." "Bet you ten dollars of it." "Done," said the Yankee; and drawing forth an X (upon a broken Down East bank), he covered the bragger's shin-plaster. 1 "Kin you swim feller ?" "Like a duck," said green jacket; and without further parley the Vermonter seized the knowing Yorker stoutly by the nape of the neck and the seat of the pants, jerked him from his foothold, and with an almost superhuman effort dashed the bully heels over head from the dock, some ten yards into the Hudson. A terrible shout ran through the crowd as he floundered into the water, and amid the jeers and screams of his companions the ducked bully put back to the shore and scrambled up the bank, halt frozen by this involuntary bath. "I'll take that ten spot, if you please," said the shivering loafer, advancing rapidly to the stake-holders. "You took us for greenhorns, eh? We'll show you how to do things down in York," and the fellow claimed the twenty dollars. "Wal, I reck'n yeou wunt take no ten spots jist yit, cap't." Why? You've lost the bet" "Not edzactly. I didn't kalkilate on deuin it the first time, but I tell you I kin deu it;" and in spite of the loafer's utmost efforts to escape him, he seized him by the scruff and seat of his overalls and pitched him three yards farther into the river than upon the first trial! Again the bully returned, amid the shouts of his mates, who enjoyed the sport immensely. "Third time never fails," said the Yankee, stripping off his coat, "I kin du it, I tell ye." ' "Hold on !" said the almost petrified victim. "And I will deu it if I try till to-morrow mornin'." "I give it up!" shouted the sufferer between his teeth, which now chattered like a mad badger's, "take the money." ; ' ' The Vermoter very cooly pocketed the ten spot, and as he turned away, remarked: "We ain't much acquainted with your smart folks daoun here' in York, but we sometimes take the starch out on'em up aour way; and p'raps yeou wunt try it on tu strangers agin. I reck'n yeou wunt," he continued, and puting on a broad grin of good-humor he left the company to their reflections. An Illinois Romance. The Rushville (El.) Citizen of last week contains the following specimen of Illinois romance: "An elderly gentleman had a beautiful daughter, one whom he loved much, in whom all his hopes were centered. Some two years or more ago a young man a stranger came to board with him, and finely to work for him. nis good character, straight-forwardness, genial disposition, amiability and virtue, soon ingratiated him into the good graces of the whole family; so that some eighteen months ago, the old gentleman having some business to be done in Bcardstown, intrusted this young man to do it for him and gave him the use of his team, &c. About the same time, his daughter having business some little shopping, such as girls always have at the same city, and the father's confidence in the youth being so great, he allowed her to accompany him. At night they returned, Safe and sound, the business and the shopping satisfactorily done. "Things went on as usual. The family and the youth mutually attached, and the attachment constantly growing and strengthening, until, indeed, the parents of the girl began to talk about a match between the young folks and to observe with pleasure the growing intimacy and apparent fondness between them. Having such confidence in both, the old folks retired, as in the country they generally do, early, leaving the "lovers," as they hoped, to make their own terms, and fix upon their Own arrangements. "Judge, then, of the father's surprise, when one night, a couple of weeks ago, he woke up about 11 o'clock at night quite sick, and having occasion to leave his own room, caught his young and beautiful daughter, in her night robes, just in the act of taking her place upon the young man's couch ! " Of course a scene followed. The old man wept and scolded and tore his hair. He upbraided his daughter, and poured the vials of his wrath upon the ungrateful youth. "The youth took it cooly calmly, indeed, under the circumstances. So soon as he could get the old gentleman to listen he told him that he need not make such a fuss; that his daughter had a right to share his couch, to sleep in his arms, &c., ' (imagin all the poetry.) "Next morning bright and early, in the language of a destinguished novelist, 'a solitary horseman might have been seen' wending his way toward Beardstown. It was that girl's father. Crossing the river at the ferry, he hurried to the Court House, and by the records of the County Clerk found that the aforesaid young man and woman had been legally joined in marriage just eighteen months before !

AFTER YEARS OF STUDY AND EXPERIMENT, DR. ROBACK, the eminent Swedish Physician, succeeded in producing a medicine from twenty-three different mountain herbs of,liis native Innd, which acta directly upon the causes of disease in the blood, and by restoring the corrupted fountain of life, to a condition of health and purity, expels dis ease from the system, wherever it may be located, or whatever may be its character. Indigestion, nervous complaints, epileptic and other fits, coughs, consumption in its early staees, sore throat, bronchitis, fever and ague, asthma, low spirits sexual incapacity, femenine weakness, pricking of the skin, symptomatic of paralye, rheumatism neuralgia, tumor, cancer, diabetes, lassitude and debility, diarrhea, and all other dis orders of the organs of respiration, the liver, the kidney, the stomach, the nerves, or the muscular fiber, are unerringly cured by this preparation. Histo the materies morbid or seeds of disease, what an alkali is to an acid : it neutralizes them with absolute certainty, while at the same time it regulates the secretions, removes obstructions from the bowels, creates appetite, renews bodily vigor,and regenerates every animal function. Such is the nature, such are the effects of Dr. Roback's famous Scandinavian Blood Purifier, which, if taken in conjunction with his Scandinavian Blood Pills, will not only ob literate the most painful disease, but prevent their recurrence, and lengthen life bevond the ordinary span. In the SCANDINAVIAN VEGETABLE BLOOD PILLS, Dr. Roback presents the result of over twenty years of experience, hard study and experiment as to what a perfect pill should be. No one can doubt their superiority after one single trial. Price of the Scandinavian Blood Purifier, $1 per bottle, or $5 per half dozen; Scandinavian Blood Pills, 25 cents per box, or five for 81. From the Rev. Mr. McMullkn, Pastorof Roberts Chapel : Indianapolis, Oct. 5, (867. Dr. Roback Dear Sir: I have used your Blood Purifier for B nervous affertion, from which I have suffered much at times. While it is pleasant to the taste, it certainly has a happy effect upon the nerves. . Please accept my thanks for your kind re-? gards and believe me, Yours, J. W.T. McMullkn.

LIVER IJNV1GORATOR ! PREPARED by Dr. Sanford, Is a great Scientific Medical Discovery, and is daily working cu res almost too great to believe. It cures as if by inagic, even the Jirtt dote giving benefit and seldom more thun one boitle is required to cure any kind of Liver Complaint, from the worst Jaundice or Dyspepsia to a common beudacue, all of which are the result of a Diseased Liver. The Liver is one of the prin- cipal regulators of tho human body, and when it per-forms its functions well, the powers of the system are fully developed. The stor aeh is aim oat entirely depend- 2 enton a healthy action of the Liver fur the proper perform-l1 iince of its functions. Wheii the stomach is at fault, the ) bowels are at fault, and the whole system suffer a in con- sequence of one organ the Liver having censed to do its duty. For the diseases of that organ, one of the propri L etors has made H his study in a practice of more than 20 years, to find some remedy wherewith to counteract the Smauy derangements to which it is liable. To prove that this remedy is at Inst found, any person troubled with Liver Com-plaint in any of its forms, has but to try a bottle, and con- J) viction is certain. A compound has beon form- ed by dissolving gums, and extracting that part which is rn soluble, for the active virtues of the medicine. These gums remove all morbid or bud matter from the system, sup- aplyingin their pluce a healthy flow of bile, invigorating the sloinacli, pausing food to Jj. gust well, purifying the blood an(J giving tone and health to the whole machinery : retnov-Ing the causes of the disease and effecting a radicul cure fF without any of the disagree' abl aftereffects, felt by using Calomel or Mineral Poison that is usually resorted to. One dose after eating Is sufficient to relieve the stomach and prevent the food from rising and souring. umy oneuose taken before retiring prevents night marc. Onlv rtllM llnan titban at' nigiH jo loosens the bo w e 1 gently, anil cures costive- LzJ ness One dose taken after each meul will cure Dvgpepsla. JO" one dose of two tea-spoonsful will always relieve sick-huadacbe. One bottle taken for female obstruction, removes the cause of the disease and makes a perfect cure. Only one dose ini mediately raaa relieves Cholic, while One dose often repealed Is ' a sure cure for Cholera Morbus, and a preventative of Cholera. One dose taken often will Tf) prevent the recurrence of billious attacks, whilo It re- lieves all painful feelings. JCpOnly one bottle Is needed to throw out of the system th-e effects of medi- L cine after a long sickness. One bottle taken for Jaun- dice removes all yellowness or unnatural color from the skin. One dose taken a short HH time before eating, gives vigor to the appetite and makes 4Kk. food digest well. One idoso often repented cures Chronic Diarrho?a in Its worst forms, whilo summer and bowel complaints yield almost tb the first doe. parts' One or two dorms cures at- tacks caused by worms, while for worms in child run, there is no surer, safer, or speedier remedy in the world, us it never fails. There is no exaggeration in these statements; they are plain sober facts, that we can give evidence to prove, while all who use it are giving their (JJi unanimous testimony lu Its favor. Among the hundreds of Liver Remedies now offered to the public, there are none we can so fully recommend as Dr. Sanford's Invirorator, so generally known throughout the Union. This preparation is truly a Liver Invigorator. producing the most hiippy results on all who use it. Almost innumerable certificates have been given of the great virtue of this medicine by those of the highest standing in society. and we know it to be the best preparation now before the public.
