Saving Time.-A clergyman, who had consid-
cradle of farm, as was generally the case in our
fathers days, went out to one of his abourers,
who was ploughing in the field, and found him sit
ting upon the plough, resting his team.
''John," said he, '' would it not be good plan
for you to have stub scythe here, and be hub
bing few bushes while the oxen are restmg!"
John, with countenance which might well
have become the clergyman himself, instantly re-
Piled
'Would it not be well, sir, for you to have a
swinging board in the pulpit, and when they are
singing, to swingle little fax!'
The reverend gentleman turned on his heel,
laughed heartily, and said no more about hubbing
bushes.

To-Day and TO-MOrrOw.

To-day, mans dressed in gold and silver bright,
Wrapt in shroud before tomorrow night;
To-day he's feeding on delicious food,
Tomorrow, dead unable to do good.
To-day, he's nice and scorns to feed on crumbs,
Tomorrow, he's himself dish for worms.
To-day, he's honored, and in vast esteem,
Tomorrow, not beggar values him.
To-day, he rises from a velvet bed,
Tomorrow, lies in one that's made oflead
To-day, his house, though large he thinks but small
Tomorrow, no command, no house at ALL
To-day, has twenty servants at his gate,
Tomorrow, scorned, not one of them will wait.
To-day, perfumed as sweet as any rose,
To-morrew, stinks in every body's nose.
To-day, he's grand, majestic, all delight,
Ghastful and pale before to-morruw night.
True as the Scripture says, "Man's lfes span. ~

0EFA beggar applied at the house of a country
friend of his somewhere about Christmas time for
something to eat. According to the hospitable
custom of the neighborhood, he was invited into
the kitchen and pie placed before him. Just as
the good lady of the house was about to cut the
pie the fellow looked up at her with the greatest
assurance in the world, and said in an inquisitiye
tone Is it mncer Upon the lady's informing
him that it was not he Indignantly rose, said he did

This may seem caricature but think it like

my own dwelling, to have actually occurred. A
destitute woman called on my family for something

basket and having small bag or FELLOWSHIP in

would fill it, No ma ann was the indignant re-

Small Mouth one Husband...Larse,
Two.

Old Gov. L, of Vermont, was one of the most
inveterate jokers of the early times, in which he
figured. An anecdote is told of him, which has
never been related in print and never can be, per-
haps, with much effect; but we will try it. One
fall, as he was returning from the Legislature, on
horseback, as usual at that day, he was hailed from
house by garrulous old maid, who had often
annoyed him with questions respecting public af-
fairs
swell, Governor" said she, coming out towards
the road, what new laws have you passed at
Montpelier, this times
"Well one rather singular law, among the rest"
he replied
"Dew tell Now, what is it, Governor! ?" asked
the excited querist.
"Why, that the women in each town who has
the smallest mouth, shall be warranted husband
"Why, whot!" said she, drawing up her mouth
to the smallest possible compass, whot queer GU
rios Tor that is %
"Yes, but we have passed another that beats
that; the woman who has the largest mouth is to
have two husbands -
'Why, wharf! = exclaimed the old maid, instant
ly relaxing her mouth, and stretching it wider at
every syllable, what remarkable law that is; when
does it come in force, Governor ~
At this, the Governor put spurs to his horse and
vanished.-Green Mountain Freeman.

Another whitewasl,.

The editor of the Horticuturist, in answer to the
queries of correspondent gives the following re-
cipe for whitewash. Wehave published good
many recipes for this purpose but believe that We
have never published one exactly like this. He
recommends it as most excellent, as a cheap and
durable wash for wooden fences and buildings
He thinks it owes its durability to the white vitri
which it contains.
Take a barrel and slake bushel freshly burn
ed lime in it, by covering the lime with boiling
water. After it is slaked, add cold water enough
to bring it to the consistency eff good whitewash.
Then disolve in water, and add one pound of white
vitriol (suphate of zinc) and quart of fine salt
To give this wash cream color, add one half pound
of yellow ochre, in powder. To give it a awn
color, add one fourth of pound of Indian red To
To make handsome gray stone color, add one
half pound of French blue, and one-fourth pound
of Indian red. A drab will be made by adding one
half pound of burnt sienna, and one-fourth pound
of Venitian red.
For brick or stone, instead of one bushel of lime
use half bushel oflime and half bushel ofhydrau-
lie cement
These washes are very useful in prereserving
buildings, fences, &C., to which they applied;
and although it may be renewed much oftener than
oil paints, they give very neat appearance to
farms, where they are applied to the buildings,
gates, &C. AS their cost is trfiing, it is strange
that they are not used more often than they are.
