Geoponics.

An old friend Of ours, sick and tired of
the care and hustle Of city life, retired
into the country, and "wen. to farming" as
the saying is. His land, albeit well situated
and commanding sundry romantic prospects,
IS not SO particularly fertile as some we
have seen-requiring scientific culture, and
liberal use Of guano of some sort, TO in
dusc an abundant yield.
Not Ion. since, while on visit 10 the city,
our friend attended an auction sale down
town, and it so happened they were selling
damaged sausages al the time there were
some eight or ten barrels of them, aud they
were 'just going al fifty cents per barrel ?,
when the aucIioneer, with all apparent serl-
BUSINESS, remarked that they were worth
more than that 10 manure laud with. Here
was an idea. "Sixty:twdahd half, said
our friend. "Just going at sixty-two and
half cenis--tbird and last cali--gone %
re:orted the auclioneer "Cash takes them
at sixty-lwo and a half cts per barrel.n
To have them shipped for his country seat
was the immediate work of our friend, and
as il was then plartng time, and the sausa.
ges were 'getting 10 better FAST" 10 have
them safe under ground and out of the way
was his next movemest. He was about to
plant a field Of several acres OF corn-the
soil OF the plney woods species-so, here
was the spot for this new experiment in ag-
riculture, this new wrinkle in the science of
geoponics. One "link" OF sausages being
deemed sufficient, that amount was placed
in each hill, accompanied by the usual num-
Der of kernels of corn and an occasional
pumpkin seed, and all were nicely covered
over IN the usual style,
Now, after promising that several days
have occurred since the corn was planned.
the sequel of the story shall be told in
dialogue between our friend and one of-his
neighbors. uI

BThe Stnbu,y american gives its rea-
ders the benefit of the following translation
"from the Spanish" Exquisite, isn't it,
See the gay Zepher wan,ons Ger thy bowers,
Kissing with fondness the half open flowers.
Soft moonlight lies upon the rivers breast
The Bulbul sings his favorite rose 10 rest,
The oak smiles in the ivy's close embrace,
The fragrant pines their branches interace,
The sky her robe upon the mountain drops
And rests in silence on their rugged tops
Then come TO me, again, my bosoms light
Life of my soul, my heaven of sweet delight;
Pillow my head again upon thy breast,
Near to thy ihrobbiug heart, oh! let Inc rest,
Clasp me more closely in thy milky arms
While mine as close embrace thy witching
[charms,
Turn 10 my gsxc thy eyes enchanting glow,
From thy sweet tongue let tender whispers
[how,
To mine with ferver press thy dewy hp
Whose nectar gods in ecstacy might sip,
Yield TO me every bliss that love can give,
Save me from worse than death and bid me

The Rising Generation.

1t was said by somebody--John Neal, we
believe, for he is always uttering quaint
things from that huge package of brains
planted on his shoulders--that there were
no boys and girls, nowadays, but that they
sprung out of The mothers arms icto men
and women. We confess that, odd as the
idea is, there is a little too much .jact at its
base. The boys are eager TO reach man.
hood, which they are apt 10 think consists in
smoking cigars, chewing tobacco, drinking
todiies, and rolling oa,hs, as sweet morsels
from off their tongues. The girls are equal
ly eager 10 attain the glories of womanhood,
which consists in wearing elegant dresses,
spinning street yarns, going TO parties, and
-apd-shall we say it ?-geiting husbands.
Well, it is out, and, upon the whole, we'll
let it stand, though We incur thereby tho
peril or having our ears pulled.
So the one class are ever in hurry TO cast
their jackets for long tailed coats and their
candy for cigars and the other to step out
from the caterpillar chysalis of pantaletts
and short dresses, into the full blown butter
fly beauty of womandom.
"But, 'the more haste the worse speed -
and we advise'ihe boys and girls TO hold on
10 their bread. and. butter life just as long as
they possibly can. They will never be so
happy as now.
