Take six pounds OF sugar 10 one peck (or l6

The Liverpool Mercury describes an amusing
incident which recently occurred at the far-ta-
med town of Redcar. A lady ana gentleman
on visit to the water place, not satisfied with
the restrictions and forms attended on bathing
from machine. started early in the morning
in their phrron to a favorable spot two miles up
the sands the lady provided herself with ba-
thing dress, the gentleman as gentlemen often
do when bathing, declining such ncumbrance.
Af(er undressing on the sand, and placing their
clothing in the carriage, they took TO the wa
ter but had scarcely recovered from the first
dip when to their dismay, they observed the
horse start away at a smart trot with the car
riage, dresses and all-leaving them in the prl-
mitive state of our first parents After some
time it was arranged for the lady to proceed
in her picturesque and scanty costume, 10
Marske, where she arrived barefoot and bare
headed, and after relating the unfortunate but
aughabe account of the horse succeeded in
borrowing a dress for herself and husband,
which was forwarded in all speed to him (; and
he was soon recognized by the messenger, pa
tienty enduring his wotu plight, though up 10

TnE DIFFICULTY WITH FARMERS generally is
that they have too much invested in land, and
not spare capital enough to manage anything
to advantage. Too many think if they can

curing the means Of managing the farm to ad-
vantage. Hence follows the practice Of buy

Grape Vines.

We hope every farmer and every mechanic
who owns as much as six square feet of land
will have at least one grape vine growing on
it--a native vine, we mean, not foreign one
for mere show, but one that will bear fruit
which will ripen without artificial aid.
1t is surprising that so few oconr young men
take any interest in setting grape vines about
the house. 1t is not because they relish not
the fruit, for you will see them traversing the
meadows and woods TO filch what does not be-
long to them and TO make sure of their prey
they will pluck it before it is fit to eat. How
much less labor would it be to take home a
root or cutting and place it where the grapes
might hang on til they were fully ripe.
We have many fine native grapes in our
meadows and by the woodsde which are at
least equal TO the imported kinds. In addition
to the common purple grape, many sorts of
which arc rich and excellent, when they are
permitted to ripen on the vines, we have several
kinds Of reddish grapes that have not the foxy
taste which some dislike in the purple kinds
Then we have variety Uf wild white grapes
In our own garden we have two kinds OF
white, or rather cream.colored grapes. from
vines that we procured from our own fields.
These ripen in the last of August, month
sooner than the Isabella grape. And these, to.
gether with the Isabella and the common pur-
! Pile grape, give us an abundance Of grape fruit
during five or six weeks of every season.
The grape is cultivated with less labor than
any other kind of fruit, and it is a constant
bearer. 1t is less subject to depreciation OF
worms and insects than most kinds Of fruit, and
there is less trouble in having it in ones owl
garden than in going mile to borrow a sup.
| ply from a neghbor's meadow
Young men are informed that grapes can be
propagated from cuttings; that is, by burying
vine cut from a growing one. The latter
part of April is good time to bury the vine.

the other must be kept -Ploug hman.
