Her fun with the Doctor brought the
laugh upon The wrong side.
About a week after the claim was
settled, a letter was received from Doc
tor Carpus, couched in pretty plain but
respectful language, setting forth the
nature and effects Of the practical joke
which the young lady had played of
upon him, and alleging that she had en-
joyed a little fun at his expense. it was
no more than fair that he should pay
off the score in her own coin. In con.
clusion, he referred to.two one hundred
dollar bills which he had enclosed, and
stated that as he had no legal right to
them, he could not retain them. He
had succeeded making the party who
had provoked him to institute a mock.
suit, sensible Of her folly, and there he
was willing to let the matter drop;
trusting, that when next she took il
into her head to have some fun with
the Doctor, she would think twice be-
fore she acted once. And here the
matter ended, leaving Doctor Carpus
and Mary MayAower somewhat wiser

I'll a e.

Haying is usually a driving business
with the farmer, and though it is one
Of the most pleasant operations on the
farm, yet the Importance Of getting the
crop in in season, the desire to have
this work accomplished, as it engros-
ses the time and attention for the time
being, and the ambition to excel in the
dispatch Of this business, which often
runs high among the young, and the
occasional haste to save hay from a
shower or impending storms, renders
the haying seaso more laborious than
any other time in the year.
The labor ofhaying may be tighten
ed by a proper preparation for the work
in having all other work so far as pos
sible out Of the way, that it may not
require attention while at haying, or
call for every hour that can be spared
from this business on account Of rain,
when one would rest a little and be.
come refreshed and ih%vigora,ed. Anc
by beginning early much will b. gain
ed, as there will be a longer time to &C.
complish this work without injury to
the crop, by a part remaining too long
neglected.
In hot weather there is great advan.
tage in commencing work very early
in the morning and working late rest
ing awhile in the hottest part Of the
day. 1t is light enough to see to work
Is hours or more in the "a; deduct n
and ahalf for refreshment. and the same
for incoming and there will be 10 or l3
for labor, which is long enough except
ing in some urgent cases. But few
men will endure dillgent and hard labor
for more hours without injury to their
constitutions. The labor in the cool
of the morning will fatigue but little
compared with that performed in the
extreme heat Of the day.
Boys should have implements suited
to their size and strength, for haying
as we'll as for all other operations on
the farm. The subject is neglected by
many, and boys are urged on to per-
form as much as possible, and they
have 10 use forks and rakes efficiently
heavy and large for men. What would
a farmer say If he found put into his
hands a scythe, rake, fork, or other i'm
plements, twice. thrice, and sometimes
four times as large and heavy as neces-
sary? Almost every one would think
it impossible for him to do anything
with tools that seemed big enough for
a giant of the largest size. With suit
able tools and proper direction, boys
will do much work, but they ought not
to be required TO perform impossibilities,
nor labor under serious disadvantages
and discouragements. Let every boy
see in season whether proper tools are
TO be furnished for him, and i! he is ne
elected, let him respectfully claim the
privilege of having implements accor-
ding to his strength. A modest claim
preferred by the little folks who assist
in the labors of the field, at this busy
season, will induce many farmers to
furnish more suitable tools for the "wee
bit o. workers."
