Hints to Farmers.

A bare pasture4enriches not the soil. nor
fattens the aninM2s, nor increases the wealth
of the owner
One animal we'll fed is better than two
poorly kept. n
The better animals can be fed, and the
more comfortable they can be kept, the more
profitable they are-and all farmers work
for profit. ~
Ground once we'll plowed is better than
thrice poorly.
Bouhtiful crops are more profitable than
poor ones Make the soil rich, pulverize it
well, and keep it clean, and it will general
ly be productive. ......
Weeds that grow unmolested around the
fences, stumps, and stones, scatter their
seeds over the farm, and are very likely to
grow.
Cows well fed in winter give more milk
in summer. Anox that is in good condition
in the spring will perform more labor, and
stand the heat Of summer>much better than
one that is poor.

Peas with Potatoes.

1t has generally been customary with
most cultivators of the pea, to grow it by
itself, but have been induced to adopt
different course, and to economist some-
what of the expense by scattering few peas
along every row of potatoes, whether the
latter be early or late. The vines are no
detriment to the potatote, nor does their
presence in the least diminish the facility
of wedding either with or without the
plow.
By practising this course, l annually
secure, not only regular succession of
pickings for table use, while the peas re-
main green and succuent but a most album
dant crop for winter use. and a clean article
for the market or seeding, the subsequent
spring. In some instances have sown
them pretty thick with the potatoes but
too many is detrment to hoeing, and as
a general rule, | think half the usual plant
ing quantity enough.
The crop thus produced, is harvested
with ease and is rarely injured by mildew
or the "bug" Try it.-GermantOwn Tel

A Prompt Sentinel.

During the war Of the Revolution some
what ludcrous incident occurred at New
London, Ct, which we do not remember
to have seen recorded. At a certain point
on the outskirts of the town, near the bank
of the Thames, the sentinel on duty was
shot at every night, Two had been killed
apparently by the same person, who land
ed in the dead of night, from small boat,
and, before the sentinel could hail three
times, according to military tactics, fred
his piece and escaped in the darkness.
The exposed post naturally became dreaded
by the soldiers, who had but little taste for
being shot down in cold blood At length
a negro who belonged to the rank and file,
was stationed on the spot one night, and
ordered, if any person appeared, to hail,
"whO goes there?' three times, and if no
answer was returned to fire his musket at
the intruder.
Pompey had never stood sentry, but he
promised to obey the directions. He paced
backward and forward, stealthily, with his
ears open to the slightest sound. At the
accustomed hour the foe appeared, emery
ing from clump of bushes under cover Of
which he had landed. Pompey instantly
leveled his piece and cried,
who go dar once twice tree time p
bang "'-hailing and firing simultaneous
Iy.
The aim taken by Pompey's peeled onion
was true, the interloper fell, and the post
was no longer exposed to danger.

Parting Scene Between two Irish
men.

lR1sHMEN, generally speaking, are not
noted for any great forethought concerning
their temporal welfare, but in anything re-
lating to the spiritual, they exhibit an I'M
usual share of shrewdness, as illustrated in
the following case, which occurred on the
frontier of the State of Maine, between
Jenny MCGEE and Pat McGIarkin. Pat
being called to visit his dying neighbor
Jenny MCGEE. and hear his last words of
farewell before "shutf1ing off this mortal
coil" he donned his best suit of clothes,
and smoothing his usually cheerful phz
into unusual gravity, made his appearance
at the bedside of his old friend. Upon
meeting him Pat exclaimed,
"Well, Jaimy, l understand the doctors
have given ye up
ayes, Pat, it's most over wild me-"
swell, Jaimy," said Pat, after a pause,
eye haven't been great sinner YEN 60 to
the good place"
"Oh, yes, Patio be shure stole bit
Of the government timber"
"Well, farewell to ye," said Pat, taking
Jemmy's hand, and assuming a diplomatic
air, "when ye reaches the good place, tell
them you're ,0eN acquainted wild Pat Nc
GIarkin."
Here Pat started for the door, but as il
suddenly thinking of Jemmys dishonesty
in stealing the government timber, he wheel
ed around to his friend and seriously anC
earnestly exclaimed
"But Jaimy, if anything happens to ye
that ye should go to the other place, just
tell them ye don't knOW a diUcl Of a wOrc

The Disconsolate Lover.
A SKETCH FOR A FAINTER.

Come painter, and picture a lover forlorn,
His heart-striugs all bleeding, discovered and torn
Cast of by his dearest, he's sunk in despair;
His face Is unslaven, and frizzled his hair.
His heart, almost bursting, his wasteoat expands.
And bis ribs in their places are held by his hands,
While signs SO vehement escape from his breast,
That the buttons are torn from his cont and his vest
The length Of his phz, why al least tits a FEET
And his chin and his bo som quite nelghbory meet
His eyes but half open would say that he sleeps,
But yet, If you watch him, youl that he creeps.
At the pace Of a snail he mopes slowly along,
While mutterings solemn escape from his tongue:.
His mouth at the corners draws wofully down,
And Is shaped, for the world, like the half of
His neither lip dropping, seems signing for rest.
And creeping below to repose on his breast;
While his elbows projecting, are coming to Light
Poor mortal was meier in woful plight.
Come paint, and exhibit this picture from life,
Show man his condition in WANT of a wife
Twill set all the girls in a fever for news,
And dlsconsolate lovers twill cure of the blues

How to do It!

THERE is good sound sense in the fol.
lowing advice 10 young men and women,
who are thinking of matrimony. 1t is from
an article by Grant Thorburn, in a late
number Of the Home J0urnal:--
"There is nothing to be gained in dangl'

man, talking unmeaning stuff--words with

and not like blubbering school-boy. She

there are three grains Of common.sense in

KISSING A YANKEE TAILoR's WIRE
William the w., late king of England,
when Prince of Wales, and during his
service off the coast of Canada, made an
excursion into Upper Canada, and crossed
over to the State of Vermont. He entered
a tailor's shop, and on seeing the taIoy's
wife, an exceedingly beautiful woman, he
without ceremony ravished kiss from the
lady, and remarked,
"There, now, tell your countrywomen
that the son of the King of England, has
kissed Yankee tailor's wife"
Unhappily for him, at that moment her
husband, the tailor, appeared from the back
room, and being a stout fellow, gave the
scion of royalty tremendous kick, and
exclaimed,
"There go and tell your countrywomen
that Yankee tailor has kicked the son of
the King of England"

A LADY EDITOR IN Doors, BEAVER AND
TRousEEs.-Mrs. BIoomer, Editor Of the
Lily, periodical published at Seneca Falls,
has discarded long skirts, and adopted short
frock and trousers, habiliments of little girls.
We approve the reform, A sensible cor
respondent Of the Public Ledger says
truly:
"ln winter, women should wear boots,
such as men wear, as high as the calf Of the
leg, trousers of coloured woollen stuff,
reaching to the top of the boot, and skirts
of no greater longitude. In summer, shoes,
no; paper-soled slippers, might take the
place of boots, and muslin of woolen, the
cut remaining the same, leaving the scaven,
gers to sweep the streets throughout the
year"
Such fashion would injure neither beauty
nor morals, but would be highly conductive
to health, and the "weaker sex" would
physically disappear.
