Jolly Elopement.

The wife of a farmer residing near Buffalo recently became so much enamored of a cow doctor, who went to attend to her husband's cattle, that she proposed to elope with him to a distant State. He informed the husband about the matter, and, much to his surprise, the latter told him to gratify her little whim. It was arranged that he should meet her on the outskirts of the farm on Monday last. In the meantime the husband persuaded him to exchange clothes, and when the time arrrived for the elopemenr, he (the husband) was promptly on hand. In the darkness she mistook him for her lover, and the "joke" was not discovered until their arrival at one of the Buffalo hotels. The cow-doctor was on hand with his own wife, and between the four of them they managed to do justice to an excellent supper arid make away with several bottles of wine. If elopements were usually to have such a jolly termination, the divorce market would soon be obliged to close from lack of business.

Simple Horticnltnre.

A very pretty mantle ornament may be obtained by suspending an acorn, by apiece of thread tied around it, within half an inch of the surface of some water contained in a vase, tumbler or saucer, and allow it to remain undisturbed for several weeks. It will soon burst open, and small roots will seek the water a straight and tapering stem, with beautiful glossy green leaves will shoot upward, and present a very pleasing appearance.

Chestnut trees may be grown in this manner, but their leaves are not so beautiful as those of the oak.

The water should be changed once a month, taking care to supply water of the same warmth. Bits of charcoal added to it will prevent the water from turning sour. If the little leaves turn yellow, add one drop of ammonia into the utensil which holds the water, and it will renew them in all their former luxuriance.

A QUAKER maiden of Indiana, who had reached the age of sixty, accepted a matrimonial offer from a man belonging to the Presbyterian Church and began, to prepare for her wedding. As usual, a delegation of friends waited on her, and remonstrated with her for marrying out of meeting. The bride-elect heard the visitor patiently and said "Look here! I've been waiting just sixty years for the meeting to marry me, and if the meeting don't want me to-marry out of it, why don't the meeting bring along its boys?" The delegation departed in silence.

THE Democratic calculation for the next Congress included a gain of one member of the House from Maine. There has been some mistake about this. The election is over, and the gain has not been announced. But the statisticians of that noble party will either cipher him out, or satisfactorily demonstrate that at the next election for Congress they Will achieve success. This has been the annual and biennial practice ever since the war.

THE New York Express tells of a physician in Maine, who contracted the habit of chewing tobacco forty years ago. He has at various times abstained from its use entirely, from two to six months at a time, but in every instance he has been driven back to the weed by unmistable indications of dropsey of the chest, which usually passes off in a week or two alter the resumption of the habit.
