THE Striped Bug.

We find in the Vermont Agrlculturlst
the following, recommended as sovereign
remedy for that pest of the melon vines
the striped bug: "Take half peck OF ma
nure from the hen-roosi, put it in an old
tub or box and add four gallons of water.
In twenty. four hours, by stirring 1t two or
three times, it will be ready for use. Put
half pint of this liquid upon hill OF mel
ons or squashes, and the striped bugs will
certainly vanish. At least we have found
it so on repeated trials, for several success
i've seasons The bugs may not every one
vanish on the first trial, and they may re-
appear; but we have never had vine IN
ured after this application. Besides pro-
tecting the vines, this liquid is thevery best
of manure, and the application may be fire.
quently repeated, wetting the leaves if a
stray bug or two should linger on them,
without experimenting any harm. The ma
nure tub will bear to be filled up several
times with fresh water. The only objection
to this plan is made by the olfactory nerves.

Hints to Ladies.

Ifyou dance well-dance but seldom
If you dance ill--never dance at ALL
Ifyou sing we'll make nopuerile excuses.
If you sing indiferenty, hesitate not a
moment when you are asked, for few per
sons are competent judges of singing, but
every one is sensible of desire to please.
If in conversation YOU think a person
wrong, rather hint difference of opinion,
than offer a contradiction.
1t is always in your power to make a
friend by smiles, what folly to make enc
mics by frowns.
When you have an opportunity to praise,
do it with all your heart
When you are forced to blame, do it with
reluaance.
If you are onyious of another woman,
never show it but by allowing her every
good quality and perfection except those
which she really possesses.
If you wish to let the world know you
are in love with particular man, treat him
with formality, and every one else with ease
and freedom
If you are disposed to be pettish or in
solent, it is better to exercise your ill.humor
on your dog, your Cat, or your servant than
your friend.
If you would preserve beauty, rise early.
| If yon would preserve esteem, be gentle.
If you would obtain power, be conde.

Out in the Woods.

The Southern Literary Gazette has the
following good story of the celebrated DR..
Maxcey, President Of South Carolina Coll.
ege This is not the only instance, we be-
lieVe, where people have been completely
bewildered in the woods, nor where they
have found that the fiddler must always be
paid at the close of the dance:
On one occasion, several of the students
Of S. G. College resolved to draw the Doc.
tors carriage into the woods, and fixed up
on night for the performance of the ex-
plot. One Of their number, however. was
troubled with some compunctious visitings,
and managed to convey to the worthy Pres
ident hint that it would be well for him
to secure the door of his carriage house,
Instead Of paying any heed to to this sug-
gestion, the Doctor proceeded on the APP
pointed night to the carriage house, and
ensconded his portly person inside the vehi-
Gle. Unless than an hour, some halEa.doz-
en- young gentlemen came to his retreat,
and cautiously withdrew the carriage into
the road. When they were fairly out of
the College precincts they forgot their re-
serve, and begun to joke freely with each
other by name Oneiof them compIained
of the weight of the carriage another re-
piled by swearing that "itWas heavy enough
to have the old fellow hiaaself in it." For
nearly a mile they proceeded along the
highway, and then struck into the woods,

Turnillg IN C1raeu Crop2.

The stage at which crops turned into the
soil would be Of the greatest value as ma.
nure, is a point Of considerable importance.
Heretofore it has been common opinion
that plants produced the most beneficial
results in this respect, when they had at.
tanned their greatest bulk and weight, and
before there had been any diminution from
drying or ripening. Several experiments
however, seem to show that where a large
t'ssib- of green -vvgUtot,l ,.,attot is ,,IaeeC in
the soil, the sap runs into the acetous fer.
neutrality-suspicious. an acid injurious
to groing crops.
Andrew Nicholas, Danyers Mass, states
to the officers Of the Essex Go. Ag. society,
that he cuts a crop of corn fodder in the
month of September, and had it carefully
buried in the soil by the pillow. The result,
he says, ''was no benefit to the land, the
loss OF the crop plowed in, and half the crop
of corn planted thereon the succeeding
year" lie accounts for these facts on the
following theory: "The stalks had iermen.
ted, and been converted chithey into al
cohol and vinegar-the former flying off by
evaporation, and the latter uniting with the
alkaline or terruginous earhs- forming
salts less fertilizing perhaps, than their ba,
SEES, as they existed in the soil previous to
their uniting with the acid"
We have heard of similar results from
blowing in green clover, buckwhoat and
grass Hence, better effects follow from
allowing the crop to become SO dry before
blowing it in, that the acetous fermentation
will not take place We believe this is the
conclusion now held by some of our best
farmers who arc in the habit of blowing in
clover.
Crows VS.. GRAssHoppERs. Sow peck of
corn over the surface Of your field, and the
crows will not disturb the hills. If allowed
to live near you, they will eat up all the
graSshoppers, and thus save the fall feed
for your cows.

TEHE GREEN MOUNTAIN

! fectuaIly conceal the vehicle Making
themselves equally merry at the Doctors
exeense, and conjectuting how and when he
would find his carriage, they at length
reached tho spot where they had resolved
to leave it. Just as they were about to de-
part, having once more remarked that the
carriage was heavy enough to have the old
Doctor and all his tribe in it, they were
startled by the sudden dropping of one Of
the glass door pannels, and by the well
known voice of the Doctor himself, who
thus addressed them -
80, so, young gentlemen, you are not
going to leave me in the woods, are you
Surely, as you brought me hitler for your
own qualification, you will not refuse to
take me back for mine Come, Messrs'
-and--, buckle to and let's return !;
it is getting late p
There was no appeal for the window
was raised, and the Doctor resumed his
seat. Almost without word, the dlscom-
fitted young gentlemen took their places al
the pole and at the back of the vehicle, and
quite as expedtiously, if with less noise,
did they retrace their steps. In silence
they dragged the carriage into its wonte d
place, and then retreated precipitateIy to
their rooms, to dream of the account they
must render on the morrow. When they
had gone, the Doctor quietly vacated the
carriage and went to his house, where he
related the story to his family with great
glee. He never called the heroes of that
nocturnal expedition to an account, nor was
his carriage ever afterwards dragged at
night into the woods. Journal.

That Pig.

A young lady in a clearinghouse, very
vain of her musical talent, was once enter
tanning the company with song, when a
crusty old bachelor came out of his room
on the next floor and bawled out from the
top of the stairs;
"What are You doing with that pig? Do

"What pig p cried several.
The old bachelor descended the stairs,

Magnetic Telegraph.
BY REV. j. LYONS. 4s#
Along the smooth and slender wires
The se3pless herhlls run,
Fast as the clear and living rays e
Go streaming from the sun.
No peals or flashes heard or seen,
Their won'drous flight betray
And yet their works are quickly felt
Incties far away.
Not summers heat nor winters hail
Can check their rapid course;
They meet unmoved the fierce winds rage,
The rough wave's;sweeplng force
IN the lone night of rain and wrath,
AS in the blaze of day,
They rush, with news Of veal or wo,
To thousands far away.
sN
but faster still than tdings borne
Of that electric chord,
Rise the pure thoughts of him who loves
The Christians life and Lord.
Of him who, taught in smiles and tears,
With fcrvent lips to pray,
Maintains high converse here on earth
With bright worlds far away.
Ay though no outward wish is breathed,
No outward answer given,
The singing Of that humble heart
l., knoyn and felt in heaven
These long, frail wires may bend and break,
Those viewless heralds stay;
But faiths least word shall reach the throne
Of God, though far away.
