Darietp,
outwitting Johnny Bull. r

A correspondent cf the N. Y. spirit
Of the Times, tells Of one of our cute
Yankees, with big pretensions who made
his debut in the Upper Province, and
settled in community congenial tn
his taste" Brother Jonathan soon found
himself considerably involved, and Turn
ed his attention TO the "stuys and de-
laws o the law" He discovered that a
certain amount of property could be
held, which was not subject to seizure,
and also the specific articles was there
laid down. Accordingly lie provided
himself with such things as was lawful,
and disposed of all else rs being super
fuons. The extra cash "properly cared
for" Jonathan felt easy quite. lie had
n very fine hog, the proper quantity OF
feed for it, and every thing of use
Something was burning for the
neighbors smelt il, but it was too late.
To outwit the Yankee was now the only
thoughts of Jonathan's creditors. The
hog was zone item o the law" by
which Johnny Bull was to retrieve a
part oil his loss, so he agrees with a
neighbor to have one small shoat pre-
scented 10 the Yankee, and then sieze the
big one. Jonathan chuckled at the idea,
for he heard smell Of things at once.
He told Mr.. Bull TO " bring tho crittur
up next week." Il was accordil ely
brought, Mr.. Bull having the law and
officer at hand to make the seizure, as
soon as Jonathan became proprietor OF
two hogs" Tho p'emy was personally
presented, when Jonathan remarked,
'twas'nt pntchen TO the one he kilt
Yesterday, nor never would be, for it
weighed 600 lbs, neat weight, and he
guessed he'd sell this TO any body that
wanted TO buy one.
Bull felt pain in tho lumbar region
Of his back bone, but not r. fishing the
loss Of both pig and money offered to
buy it.
"Can't sell that for any thing but
cash. replied Jonathan. Times are
mighty hard, that's fact, but il you'll
give me Il dollar in cash, II! trust you
for the balance"
Bull slanted.

Farm Work for September.

Topping corn is a business that form
erly employed us in the first and second
weeks in September, and it is still the
practice of most CT our farmers 10 cut
the tops and pike them before the time
Of cutting at the roots. But another
mode is practlsed TO considerable ex.
tent. The stalks are suffered to stand
till the middle of September, or later,
and then the whole is cut at the roots
and the stalks with the corn on them
are put in shocks TO finish ripening in the
field. The advocates of this practice
think they save the unripo ears from in
jury by frost; they contend too that the
slower is more valuable.
In regard to the saving of labor there
is room for dispute. Laborers who are
not used to the new mode are apt to
make bad work they cannot handle
bundles of corn and stalks in husking so
well as they can single stalks and ears.
Fer ourselves we must say we have new
er saved labor by cutting at the roots
ind shocking the whole mass. In re-
gard TO the value Of the slover it is adj
mltted that something is saved compared
with the old practice OF permitting the
corn 10 stand till the heavy rains of No
vember; bu, corn should not stand out
so late.
Rye may be sown in the first half of
September; but August is better time
when the weather is wet enough, for the
rye gets a better root and stands the
winter better. Grass seed may be sown
with rye even when rye s to be the sue
ceedlng crop; Tor the more grass there
is 10 be turned under the furrow next
August the better for the land. Clover
seed may be scattered over il in Noyem-
Der, when it is too late to vegeia,c, or in
March while snow is on the ground the
spring rains will bury it,
But the first work for September
should be the finishing of the sowing of
grass seed for next years harvest The
sooner this is done where the land is in
proper condition the better will be the
grass next summer. Don't forget 10 fin
ish in season the sowing hat was com
menced in August. Rolling down close
will aid the negotiating process.
If you want bitches now is a good
time 10 dig them. Meadows are usual
ly more dry in September than in any
other mouth. Dig now for winter haul
ing, or for next sumner spreading where
seed is TO be sown.-P ioughnan.

The Indians of MexicO.-.TheirA Affec.
ton for the Americans.

On The Departure of our army from Mexico,
The lndians---who constitute nearly the whole
laborIng population. exhibited iheIr sorrow and
regret IN the most striking and affecting man.
ner. The sojourn of our army in Mexico has
relieved these poor and interesting people of
many expressions and taxes to which they
have long been subjected. They are the pro.
ducers aud indusirlals of The country, and hlth-
erto have contributed, through The Alcabala,
and other taxes 10 support the exl1avaganl gov
ernmeni of Mexico. Intercourse with our SOL
dlers---a knowledge of The kindly dispositions,
as well as of the brave hearts and strong arms
of our counirymen---hsve inspired The desced-
danls of Monlezums with profound respec,
and warm affection for The American people.--
There is one single trait of our .couarymen
which has aroused the liyslies, admiration Of
the poor Indians Ii is their behavior TO f..
males, The lower class of the Mexicans lrea,
their women harshly.. As for the poor Indians,
of both sexes, the Mexicans treat them like
dogs. fls
When they contrasied the kind and polite
consideration of our soldiers towards their wo-
men with the brutal conduct Of the MexIcans,
when they saw an American soldier turning
oul of the way 10 let Mexican woman pass,
they could scarcely understand. much less ex.
press their gratitude for such unexpected kind
ness. AS our army passed ou. of their towns,
crowds of these poor people surrounded our
troops, and threw bouquets and fruit TO the ,sol-
dlers, and many of Them were most pllously,
CRYING ou. ,ha. they had lost their only friends.
