French Farmer very simple mode Of de-
ssrovinp weeviIs in corn warehouses. Hap
nening to lay in the corner ofthe gTanary,
n which there was large quantity of corn
some sheep skins with the fleece ON, he
WAS not little surprisedt TO find them, few
davs affer. covered with dead wecvils.--t
re repeated the experiment several times, !
and always with the same success. sAtlastf
he ordered his corn. to be stirred up, and
mi ! single weeviI remained in It. u APP
nears therefore, althoughithe cause has not
keen ascertained. that greasy wool whenip5
the neighborhood of weeyils, attracts and
destroys them.

Look Gtt'other Side, Jim.-When boy,
as was one day passing through the mar
ket with my brother Joe, spied beauti-
full orange on the top Of a basket full Of the
same kind Of fruit. Immediately inquir-
ed the price, and was proceeding to buy it,
when my brother exclaimed with shrewd-
ness which / shall never forget-look at
t'other side, Jim. ! looked, and to my as
constituent, it was entirely rotten.
Inpassing through life, / have been fire.
quently benefited by this little admonition.
Vi When hear the tongue Of SANDER lev-
cling its venom against some fault or foible
Of a neighbor, Think, look at s'other side,
Jim. Be moderate; have charity. Per-
haps The fault or foible you talk 50 much
and so loudly Of, is almost the only one in
your neighbours character, and perhaps you
hayo.as great or greater ones in your own.
Itmay be, this is your neighbours weak
side, and except this, he is a good citizen, a
kind neighbor, an affectionate father and
husband, and useful member of society,"
Others may listen to the'story Of cafumny,
but remember they will fear and despise
the calumniator. Learn to overlook fault
in your neighbor. for perhaps you may
some time wish them TO pardon q fault in
you.- West Jersey Gaz.
