Work for the Season.

August. Before the close of this month,
the scythe, the sickle and the cradle will
have passed over many fields and shorn them
of their crops. Much of the grandeur aud
beaury that have adorned nature the prevIons
months will be gone. During part of Au-
gust, the farmer has some ittle respite from
his hard labor, yet there is much TO do in Sc
curing the matureG crops, taking care OF
those that are growing, and doing many
things in preparation for the future which
cannot generally be so well done in any 9TH
er season.
Hawng is not yet completed in many
parts of New England, and ,he sooner il is
done the better, as the grass dries up very
fast, after il is fr for the scyIhe, and il soon
loses much OF its good quality. When hay
has many bushes, brakes. aud other weeds
among il, put about half peck of salt TO
each ton, and the cattle will eat up the coarse
part much beiier.
Chfing Grma.-The greater part Of the
wheat harvest comes off in New England
during this month 1t should be- cut soon
after the berry begins to harden, as the straw
is then driving up, and can afford no more
nutrimenl in the grain. BY cutting rather
early, there is often chance TO save il from
a long storm, or a long time OF dull weather
which is often very destructive.
Weeds.-These require considerable at
tenton, and yet they have generally been
neglected during the haying season, and i
not destroyed Immediately, they will seec
the ground plentifuIly. Those that are ma,
turing their seed, should be burned, or pn

A Financial Operation.

We lately heard story illustrative of the
early days of York county-those good old
times when everybody was honest as The
days were long. The parties were two uf
the early settlers in the Western part OF
York (now Adsms) county-both were of
the honest old German stock--one of them

ter, il appears, had increased the size OF his
farm by annexing thereto n small tract ad.
joining, and lacking about a hundred dollars
oi the sum necessary TO pay for the new ac-
QUESTION, he called upon his neighbor George
To borrow the amount. George brought out
an old bread basket, and counted down The
desired number OF 'thalers'-an then, of
course, the Two sat down to two large earth
en- mugs of cider and as many pipes of To-
bacco. After smoking over it for while.
il occurred TO Peter that in similar transac-
tons he had seen or heard of something
like note passing between The borrower
and lender, aud lie suggested as much to
George. The lender assented to the propri
ETY. of the rhing-paPer, pen and ink were
produced-and between the two u document
was concocted, stating that George had loan
ed Peter one hundred dollars, which Peter
would repay 10 George in 'dree mots' Qhree
monIhs.) This Peter signed, and thus far
our two tinanciers had made the thing all
regular and shipshnpe.
But sr This point dilemma presented it.
self They both knew that notes were made
i'm the operation OF borrowing and lending
which they had witnessed-bul neither of
them had observed what disposition was
made OF the document-neilher could tell
whether it was en- regle for the borrower or
the lender 10 take charge of the paper
Here was dilemma. At length bright
idea struck George. You haf de money to

paper, so you can see as you haf 10 pay il y
THIS was cunclusive-the common sense OF
the think was unanswerable, and Peter pock-
eied the money and his own note, $50 as he
could see rs he baf 10 pay un Three
months passed over, and punctunlly to the
day appeared our friend Peter, and paid over
the promised sum 10 George. This being
done, the mugs and pipes were again parad-
ed. Alter putting awhile, Peter produced
the noIe, and handed il TO George, with the
remark, now you must take de note, so as
you can see as tie money haf been paid

PRIVATE CHARACTER OF A LOCOMOTIVE
People who may see locomotive tearing up
and down the land at the gait of forty miles
an hour-making the very earth 9roan be-
meath its giant tread, and the heavens them
selves reverberate with its fearful clater-
soaring nature with It's unearthly din, and
frightening all creation from its propriely al
most-people who only see it its terrible nc.
tivity, have no idea what eminently social
virtues it is endowed with. This is their
public character. Their private one is an.
other affair. Now and then one of these
huge monsters, IN whose iron bowels slum-
bers more than a thousand giant power,
comes up and stands under your window,
and smokes away as the most exemplary
cooking stove, its huge steam pipes singing
a strain as soft and as dulcet as the most
amiable tea-kettle, and its lungs of steel
breathing as sweet!y as an infant in its slum-
bers. But the demon Of power is there
Let any one but pinch its ears, and no ven-
cradle spinster cat will spit more fiercey-
Ie, him grippe those iron hands, and the pipes
which were turned to SO soft strain, send
forth yell as if heaven and earth were COM
ing together, and those lungs which first
breathed SO quietly, cough like volcano
and off it goes, darkening the heavens with

words in Iroquos were the reply, and Susan

words in Iroquois were the reply, and Susan
congratulated herself on having spoken before
unbarring The door. But on listening again,
she distinctly heard the same voice say,
'Quick-9uck and recognized it as the In
dian woman's whom she had nursed The
door was instantly opened, when the squaw
rushed into the hut, seized Susan by the arm,
and made signs to her to come away. She
was too much excited to remember then the
words of English she had picked up when liv-
ing with the white woman. Expressing her
meaning by gestures with clearness peculiar
to the Indians, she dragged rather than led
Susan from the hut. They had just reached
the edge of the forest when the wild wells of
the Indians sounded in their ears. Having
gone little way into the forest, her guide
left her. For nearly four hours she lay there
halfdead with cold and terror, not daring to
move from her place of concealment. She saw
the flames of the dwelling where so many lonely
hours had passed, rising above the trees, and
heard the shril 'whoops' of the retiring Indi-
ans. Nero, who was lying by her side, sud-
denly rose and gave low growl. Silently a
dark figure came gliding among the trees d.
rectly where she lay. She gave herself up
for lost; but it was the Indian woman who
came to her, and dropped at her feet a bag of
money, the remains of her late husbands saw
ings. The grateful creature knew where it
was kept; and while the Indians were busted
examining the rifles and other objects more in
teresting TO them, had carried it off unobserv-
ed. Waving her arm around to show that all
was qnet, she pointed in the direction of Will
tons house, and was again lost among the
trees.
Day was just breaking when Susan reached
the squatter's cabin. Having heard the sad
story, Wilton and his two sons started imme-
diately for the spot. Nothing was to be seen
save heap of ashes. The party had appar-
emily consisted of only three Or fonr Indians :;
but powerful tribe being in the neighbor-
hood, they saw it would be too hazardous to
follow them. From this time Susan lived
with the Wiltons. She was as daughter to
the old man, and sister TO his sons, who often
said That as far as they were concerned,
the Indians never had done a kindlier action
than in burning down Susan Cooper's hut

Custom of Ancient Egyptians.

The Egyptians had funeral tribunal by
which the dead were tried before they could
be buried. After death, every Egyptian was

his ancestors. This was great disgrace 10

into compost and the seed allowed to vege-
tate before the manure is applied 10 the land.
Bushes.-Cm bushes about the middle OF
this month, and they will sprout but little
less than il cut at any other season. On
many farms in New England bushes are nu-
merous, and occupy no small part Of field
and pasture. Their determination would
render the Iarm NOR beautiful, more pleas-
ant 10 work, and greatly increase its profits.
Pruning Trees.-August is one of the
hest, IL not the best month for this operation.
The bark does not readily start from the
wood; and MS the tree is in foliage the ope-
raior can see 10 thin the limbs judcously
But the great advantage in pruning at this

good season for clearing up dirching. plough.
ing, hauling on sand or gravel, manuring,
and sowing wet land 10 grass: and if well
done, good crop of grass will pay no small
share OF the expense another year.
Weaning Lambs. In this month, or early
IN September, according TO their age, lambs
should he weaned, while the feed is sweet
and succulent They bear weaving better
at this season than late in the fall when the
feed is dry, hard and nnulricious; and the
sheep are far better for early weaving, as
they have chance to get in good condition
before winter. See that the lambs have
plenty oil good sweet feed on being separated
from their mothers.
Winter Whent.-Prepare for sowing win

month, or early in next. Large qu antilles

generally with profit. The Blue Stem is a
variety that succeeds well there.
Mdnure-NIud, muck and peat must be
carted from the low lands, and put in the

The Power OF BIRDs.-It seems singular
thai bird can breathe with apparently no
unusual effort, where human being would
die of suffocation. Mont Blanc, the most
elevated mountain of Europe, is not more
than three miles high, and yet on the top,
breathing is extremely difficult; neverthe-
less, the condor of South America, the lar
'gest bird gifted with the power Of flight, will
dart suddenly upwards from the deepest val
ley. 10 a considerable height above the sum-
init OF even the lofty mountain Of Chiinbora-
20, which is one-fourth higher than Mont
Blanc. Humbolt says that he has frequently
seen this enormous bird soaring without an
effort and enjoying itself, at an elevation
much higher than the clouds OF our atmos-
phere. What human eye can gaze upon the
sun? and yet the eagle looketh that mighty
lumlnary in the eye, and flnches not al his
brllllancy. Divine wisdom, for its own good
purposes, has thus singuiarly endowed The
monarch Of birds.
