Daisies and Thistles.

Look out for those daisies. 1t is of no
use now to scold about your predecessor,
or about the occupant who proceeded him.
You may be as careful about your seed as
you please, and study the plants you dis
like as closely, and mark their seeds as dill
ligently, and instruct your children as faith
fully, and urge the Importance Of this
knowledge on your neighbors as continual
ly, and crowd it upon the attention of your
school committees with as much industry
and untiring perseverance as you please, ii
will not eradicate the daisies, and while
they are with you, use them to the best adj
vantage. The man who uses the choicest
grain in such manner as to produce good
returns, is considered deserving Of comen-
dation; much more then is he deserving of
commentator who changes a curse to a
blessing, the beast of fury to a beast ofbur-
den, and makes the tares which the evil one
has sewn for mischief, the harbingers of
good.
The daisy cannot be killed by moving,
but it can, if cut early, be made into hay
of the first quality, and what is deserving
of notice, it very rarely, even when cut
quite early, sends another stock up for
seed the same season.
BY cutting early then, you not only Sc
cure the daisy, but you give better chance
to whatever other grass may be intermixed,
to spread and gain upon the daisy. This,
if you have made your ground rich enough
to bear other grasses, will do Another
advantage, if cut early, will be found in
preserving the seed from being shelled and
scattered. If this done there will be but
little difficulty in destroying the daisy at a
subsequent blowing and filling The root
is easily destroyed but the difficulty is in
the seed left in the ground, and if the crop
is not cut early, large proportion of the
seed will shell, and be left to perpetuate
the stock Cut them early; dry them with
as little exposure to dew and sun as consis-
tent, especially after they are fully wilted.
Thstles, also, if cut while quite green,
will make good fodder. Sheep will pick
thistles thus cut from hay, especially if the
latter grew large and heavy Thistles, also
thus cut, are often destroyed, and as there
is no seed to be scattered, the quantity OF
thistles will always diminish. But if per.
mitted to stand until the woody fibre is de.
veloped, you secure all the prckers and all
the seed, and loose all that is valuable

AWAY WITH CARE
Written for the Album Of an old Schoolmete.

Written for the Album Of an old Schoolmate'
Though childhood's sunny hours are past
And youth is swiftly flying,
Let us away with care and grief,
For what's the use of signing
True, many happy hour has passed,
And so has many sorrow;
Yet who can tell but happier hours
Await us in she morrow
Then let's away with grief and care,
Improve the flying present,
And trust that each succeeding hour
viii prove at least as pleasant.
What if old age Creeps slowly on,
And marks the brow with burrows,
1t cannot steal from us our joys
Nor fill our cup with sorrows
Then let o-day in joy be spent,
Nor tancied trouble borrow;
But look to God with grateful heart,
And hope brighter morrow.

A Shrewd Trick.

The Knickerbocker tells the following cap
ital anecdote on the Improvement of
Time :"
A friend tells US good story of a Yankee
clock peder down south, which, among
other things, may perhaps account for the
peculiar favor with which that class of chew
alters are regarded in that region. He took
with him, in long Connecticut covered
wagon, forty clocks and sold and "put 'em
up" along the country, in one direction,
warranting them to keep "fnst rate time"
lie exhausted his supply with but single
exception; and then, with unparalleled
assurance, he turned about and retraced his
course The last person to whom he had
sold a clock hailed him as he was going
by :-"Looh there, stranger, that clock
you sold me amt worth continental cuss.
'Twont go at all !" "you don't say SO Then
V0u must ha' got it square See, the fact is
| find by my numbers that there was one O
my clocks--I had forty on 'em when fust
sot out-that am a leete afraid on; it was
condemned to hum fore come away but
some how or mother it got put into the
wagon.
What's the number O yonr clock, square?''
Fourteen thousand and one," replied his
victim. "That is Jest blasted thing?" ex-
claimed the peder. "Tll change with yeou
yeou take my last one, and I'll take this hum
The aoOrkS is good guess only want fixir
leetle." The exchange was made; and al
along the road The pedler was similarly
arrested by his dupes, who were similarly
duped in return. He took every successive
bad clock to his next customer, and received
another bad clock for the next.
