Giving i'm TO His Better Half.

Hey, hey! what's that! where, allow
me to ask, are you going at this time of
night, Mr.. Snippe!' cried a lady, in notes
of ominous sharpness.
Out responded Snippe, with a heart
broken expression, like an afflicted mouse.

know! where's out that you prefer it 10 the
comfortable pleasures of your own fire.

Look TO YOUR Weeds.

There are few farms in the country, and
pity 1t is that this can be said with truth,
on which there are not more or less weeds
that do not require close attention to pre-
vent their seeding, or otherwise spreading
III the course of the summer. There is
the thistle, which should be repeatedly
moved, if in pasture land, or if among
hoed crops, cut 1t with the hoe as often as
makes Its appearance. There is the Johns
Wort, croWding out the valuable grasses,
poisoning sheep, and giving horses chap
ped noses and legs, if they are so unlucky
as to be white; be careful not to let this 90
to seed. There is the sweet elder, that
Is becoming far too common; we do not
require it for distillation or to color wines,
and if we allow the seeds to ripep we are
preparing tribulation for ourselves and
neighbors. There is the life-everlasting,
a worthless intruder, that occupies the
ground exclusively where it spreads, and
that is rapidly, VIXEN it is once allowed a
foothold. See that this weed is effectual-
iy demolished whereverit appears. Look
on your spring sown grain, and if full
OF yellow blossoms you will probably find
that charlock is in your fields, and if it is
not pulled promptly and completely, you
may find business fer years in attempting
Vaniy Its extirpation. The crowfoot of
your meadows, or the daisy of your pas
lures, must be looked to, else lean cattle
may he expected when fat beasts should
be looked for. In short, allow nothing to
be IN your fields that usurPs the place of

A Practical Joke.

Not very long since, small farmer in
a little village in Somersetshire, who prided
himself on his cheeses, in fit of unwon-
ted generosity-forh he was penurious man
sent to her majesty Queen Victoria a
prime cheese. A person giving to practi-
cal jokes knowing this, bought an eighteen
penny gilt chain, and sent in letter, pur-
porting to be from her majesty, appointing
her "well beloved''- mayor of the village,
IN the document exalted into corporate
town, but whereof he, the said mayor,
formed the sole body and whole authori-
ty. The ignorant poor man swallowed
the bait, and called the village together;
gave an OK to be roasted whole, and walk
ed at the head of the invited procession,
wearing his chain of Office; and for several
weeks exhibited the insignia of royal auto
graph at church and at markets.-Black-

Black Lead for Pencils.

The lead from which pc neil points are
made comes from the largest pencil plumba-
go mine in the world, Borrowdale, Cumber-
land, England. 1t is situated in hill,
and instead of being worked constantly,
like other mines, is opened once year,
when sufficient quantity is taken out to
supply the world for the year to come,
when it is again closed with strong doors,
bars and locks until the next annual SUD-
ply is required. From the time of Queen
Elizabeth, it is said, that all the fine pen
cils in the world have been made of the
black lead of this mine.

How Softly on the Bruised Heart.
BY c. D. STEWART

How softly on the bruised heart
a word of kindness falls,
And to the dry and Parched soul
The moistening tear drop calls
Oh, if they knew, who walk the earth
Mid sorrow, grief and pain,
The power word of kindness hath,
'Twere paradise again.
The weakest, and the poorest, may
This simple pittanee give'
And bid delight to wlthered hearts
Return again and live;
o, what is life if love be LOST
IF mans unkind 10 man:
Or what the heaven that waits beyond
This brief but mortal span2
ss stars upon the tranquil sea
In mimic glory shine,
So ds Of kindness in the heart
Bstray their source divine:
., then, be kind, whoe'er thou art,
That breathest mortal breath,
And it shall brighten all thy life,
And sweeten every death.
