WEEDS. The season has arrived when farmers
81 ould be on The alert to prevent noXious weeds
from seeding, and thus spreading over the land
1t would undoubtedly be better to eradicate them
thoroughly and at once, but in many cases this
is nearly or quite impossible, and the only thing
that can be done is as far as practicable, to pre-
vent the extension of the evil This may in
most cases, be best Idone by cutting the weeds
before the seed is sufficiently rpened TO propa.
gate the plant; and in no case should this cutting
be omitted Many plants spread entirely from
the seed, and where they do not, cutting them
when in full vigor, serves as severe check up
on them if itdoes not kill them. The Canada
thistle, the Johnswort, the charock, the steink-
root, and the whole catalogue of noxious weeds,
should now be subjected to cxcsion, if the OPP
eralion has not already been performed. Many
farmers who now cut their weeds annually, do
not do it until the seeds so far ripened as to
grow whenever they are buried in the earth, a
result to be most carefully guarded against
In making some excursions about the country,
we perceive that several plants that have not
been generally cassed among the noxous ones,
ly injurious and should place them at once I'M
der the ban of prescription by every farmer.
Among these maybe placed the sweet elder, and
the silk or milk weed. The elder spreads from
both roots and seeds, and when it gets footing
by fence or wall, it rapidly encroaches on adj
joining fields. 1t may not be as had as the
thistle, yet if our farmers allow it to propagate
and SPREAD as they seem likely to do, they will
find it bad enough and troublesome enough in
the end. We much fear that Gen. Dearborn. by
his eulogy on the silk-weed in the Horticultural
Register, may induce some farmer or garde ner,
who is unacquain,ed with the weed to introduce
it into his premises. Should he do so, he will
doubtless rue The day in which it is done, and
not only he but his neighbors will have ample
reason to regret the Il-omened acquisition. If
Boston folks, in the penude of their notions
choose to cultivate the sk-weed for asparagus
and green's why let them, but let the farmer
beware how he copies their example in introIu-
cling or suffering this pest to enter his fields
He will assuredly find it "A troublesome visiter,
injurious on the premises, and one of which it is
exceedingly difficult to get free tennessee

highly Important TO Farmers.
NEWLY INVENTED AND HIGHLY I'M
PROVED PLOUGHS.

VVNHE subscribers give notice that they have COM
Il menced manufacturing and will keep constant
ly on hand at their shop in Barnett the CAST IRON
PLOUGHS invented and improved by John Moore
I'd, and Joseph Mason. The business will be car
red on under the firm of Moore, Mason Gilman
81 Co. The proprietors have furnished themselves
with the best of materials and determined that
their ploughs shall be equal in style and quality to
any made in the country These poughs the sub
scrbers believe TO be in several important respects
decidedly superior to any others now IN use. They
are so constituted as to turn the furrow smoother
ond even without breaking, and will require much
less team than the ploughs in common use. The
share is attached that it can be easily removed
and another put on, by turning one screw. There
is also a shoe the land side of the plough which
when easily be replaced by new one,
which will serve to make the poughs much more
durable. The proprielors not wishing to pay Tor
long advertisements will only add few recommen-
datons from persons who have witnessed the oper-
alton of these ploughs Said ploughs were first pre-
scented to the public at the CALEDONIA County Cat
tie Fair holden at ST. Johnsbury the 18th day of
October 1887, when after fair trial with several
other poughs which were presented the Committee
awarded TO John Moore I'd of Barnet, the premium
for the best plough. Said premium was awarded by
Henry Stevens, President Leonard Harrington
William Shearer and Timothy o. Fuller, Commit
tee on ploughs.
In answer letter written to Lucius Kimball, Esq
st. Johnsbury, he writes as follows
'AgreeabIy to your request cheerfnlly give my
opinion of the breaking up plough made and in
cidedly the best have ever used for breaking up
on an upland farm; it requires less team and does
the work much better. 1t has exceeded my eXpec-
tatlons, and do not hesitate to recommend it to
the farming public

OLIVER TWIST.
THE FOURTEENTH

CHATTER The foIhlFENIh
Mr. BUNDLE sat in the workhouse parlor,
with his eyes moodiIy fixed on the cheerless
CRATE, whence, as it was summer time, no
brighter CLEAN proceeded than the reflection
Of certain sickly rays of the sun, which were
sent back from its cold and shining surface
A paper fy-cage dangled from the ceiling, to
which he occasionally raised his eyes in
gloomy thought; and, as the needless insects
lowered round the gaudy network, Mr. Bum
bic would heave deep sigh, while more
gloomy shadow ovcrspread his countenance.
Mr.. Bundle was meditating, and it might be
that the insects brought to mind some painful
passage in his own past life.
Nor was Mr.. BUNDLES gloom the only
thing calculated to awaken a pleasing melan-
choly in the bosom of spectator. There
were not wanting other appearances, and those
closely connected with his own person, which
announced that a great change had taken
place in the position ofhis affairs. The laced
coat and the cooked hat, where were they :
He still wore knee-breeches and dark cotton
stockings on his neither limbs, but they were
not The breechcs. The coat was wide -skirted,
and in that respect like the coat, but. oh, how
different! The mighty cooked hat was re-
placed by modest round one. Mr.. Bundle
was no longer beadle.
There are some promotions in life which,
independent of the more substantial rewards
they offer, acquire peculiar value and dignity
from the coats and waistcoats connected with
them. A field marshal has his uniform, a
bishop his silk apron, counsellor his silk
gown, beadle his cooked hat. Strip the
bishop of his apron or the beadle ofhi cooked
hat and gold laces, what are they Men
mere men. Dignity, and even holiness too,
sometimes, are more questions OF coat and
waistcoat than some people imagine.
Mr.. Bundle had married Mrs. Corney,
and was master of the workhouse. Another
beadle had come into power, and on him the
cooked hat, gold-laced coat, and staff, had all
three descended.
And tomorrow two months it was done "
said Mr.. Bundle, witha sigh. 81 1t seems a
age"
Mr.. Bundle might have meant that he had
concentrated whole existence Of happiness
into the short space Of eight weeks; but the
sigh-there was a vast deal of meaning in the
sigh.
II sold myself" said Mr.. Bundle, pursu-
ing the same train of reflection, for SIX tea
spoons, pair of sugar-tongs, and milk-pot
with a small quantity Of secondhand furnIter
and twenty pound in money. went very
easonable-cheap, dirt cheap"
"Cheapr' cried shrill voice in MIR. Bum.
ble's ear I" You would have been dear at any
price and dear enough paid for you, Lore
above knows that"

CLUBS.


TURNED UP BY FEMALE HAND.
clubs clubs Part 'em part 'em Clubs club
Ancient Cries Of Londo
or all the modern schemes Of man,
That time has brought TO bear,
plague upon the wicked plan
That parts the welded pair
My female friends they all agree ..
They hardly know their hubs;
And heart and voice unite with me,
"Wc hate the name Of Clubs !"
One selfish course the wretchcs keep;
They come at morning chimes;
To snatch few short hours Of sleep
Observation-Disclosures the Times
Then take their hats, and post away,
Like clerks or city scrubs,
And no one sees them all the day.
They live, eat, drink at clubs
On what they say. and what they do,
They close the club house gates;
But one may guess speech or two,
Though shut from their debates:
"Ihe cooks hasher-nothng more
The children noisy grubs-
A wiie's quiz, homes a bore
Yes, that's the style at clubs
With Rundle, DIR, n, or Glasse,
And such domestic books, ~.
They once put up-but now, alas
It's hey for foreign cooks
"When io,H you dine at home, my dove"
] say to Mister Stubbs,--
When cook can make an omelette, love-
An omelette like the clubs !"
Time was, their hearts were only placed
On snug domestic schemes,
The book for two--united TASTE
And such connubial Dreams
Friends dropping in at close Of day, ..@.
To singles, doubles, rubs,-- .."
A little mnsic--then the tray
And not word OF clubs
But former comforts they condemn;
French kickshaws they discuss,
They take their wine, the wine takes them,
And then they favor US -
From some offence they can't digest,
As cross as bears with cubs,
Or sleepy, dull, and queer, at best
That's how they come from clubs
It's very fine to say, Subscribe
To Andrews'--can't you read !"
When wives, the poor neglected tribe,
Complain how they proceed
lney uetter recommend al once,
Philosophy and tubs
A woman need not be Ounce
To feel the wrong Of clubs.
A set Of savage Gotts and Picts,
Would seek US now and then
They're pretty pattern Bcncdlcts
To guide our single men
Indeed, my daughters both declare
Their beaux shall not be subs,
The Whites, or Blacks, or any where
They've seen enough f.clubs."
They say, "rtthout the marriage ties,
They can devote their hours .
To catechize, or botanize-- .
Shells, Sunday schools, and flowers
Or teach a pretty Poll new words,
Tend Covent- Garden shrubs.
Nurse dogs and chrp little birds
AS wives do since the clubs"
Alas for those departed days .-..
OF social welded life,
When married folks had married wavs,
And lived like man and wife ..
Oh! wedlock then was picked by none
As safe lock as Chubb's
But couples, that should be as one,
Arc now the two of Clubs

They meet with Sights and snubs,
And say, "thoy have no husbands now
