Price Of a Wifc.-A gentleman in F0I- land county has in his family young girl, who was bound out to bin, by the town au- ilsoriiies, and whose indenrures have yet Op- wards oi two years 10 run. Now this girl, tt appears, is a good-looking and very. pretty girl, an amiable girl, and withal an accomplished girl--at least we conclude she is all this, for the breilier of her nlaster-in- law has tumbled in love- with her-and moreover she has gone and done likewise, having fallen in love- with him. She is perfectly willing to exchange her tempora- " bonds for the privilege.of binding her. self for life, and he is equally willing to take her for better or worse.' But his brother refuses to part with her, or give up her indenturcs, short of one hundred dol lars, cash down. Although this might not appear very extravagant sum for good wife, yet in these hard times, and taking into consideration the other contingent ex- spenses ofa matrimonial bargain, the gentle- man demurs at the price. 1t is rather a
 hard case-but sthe course of true love never did run smooth.' We think we could raise him the money, and would be willing to take mortgage on the property as se- curity for repayment -Hartford Cow.
 A Mir. Samuel Garrison, of Kentucky, in an article written for the American Far- mer, says:' Having fon many years ob- served that some pumpkin, watermelon, and squash vines ran ten, twelve, and even fifteen feet, before any fruit appeared, and that others would have fruit befnre they had run half that distance, I concluded that there was natural reason for being so. therefore took cucumber and split it lengthwise, and subdivided it into three equal parts across the fruit, and kept the seeds carefully apart. Those on the end near the vine marked butt-seeds; those taken from the centre, middle-seeds; and those from the end on which the bloom grew, top-seeds. These LplanteT sepa- rately, on new ground, well manured. l carefully attended to three hills from each part of the fruit divided as stated above, the hills about twelve feet apart. All the plants were alike dousishing; the vines Som the butt-seeds ran from four to six feet before fruit appeared, and these were small, with neck. The vines from the middle seeds ran from four to six feet be- fore the fruit appeared; tho vines were better, without a neck, and four-fold.-- The vines from the top-seeds produced fruit, large, fine. and in abundance, and the first fruit was on ihe third joint of the vine from the surface of the ground. ! have continued to save seed from the top ar bloom end, and now have cucumbers on. the first and second joints.'

Old Piedy dead; that good old COW;
We ne'er shall see her more
She had pair of legs behind;
A pair Of legs before.
Oh! sha was gentl as dove,
And knew no bad design;
She had two horns her head above,
Like any other kline.
Her beauty hid from public gaze,
She never brought to view;
Nor made noise on rainy days,
AS other cattle do.
In wintef, she was fed on hay,
And fiddler cut up fine,
She gave eight quarts of milk day,
On Sunday, she gave nine.
And iu' Ifeunset ev'ry night,
She ~ home without fail
She n, !, - i.disposed to fight,
An Sick'd DER the pail.
She sought her friends 'mong other cows,
With whom she won esteem;
She never kick d up any reNR,
But always gave &c" R.
Oh! she was generous tt'a' IT.;
Betrayed no idle fears;
She never yet relus'd her salt;
She wore pair of ears.
She much by nature was endow'd,
Tho thorns her path beset;
And all the other cattle how'd
Whene'er her they met
And now she's gone to that long home,
We mourn and ever SHALL
