Pleasures Of Matrimony.

l was married for my money. That

He wishes to live in the country, which |

The Farmer.

Drive on, thou sturdy farmer,
Drive cheefully Ger the feds,
The pleasures of farmers life,
No other life can yield.
Thou risest with the morning sun,
To till the fruitful earth,
And when thy daily task is done,
Then seek'st thy peaceful hearth.
Thou lowest not the gaudy town,
With Its tumultuous roar,
Plenty and peace thy fre-side crown,
And thou dost ask no more.
Monarchs in robes with crimson dyed,
Are low compared with thee,
They are pampered sons of pride,
Thou art Gods nobility.
Go on, thou sturdy farmer,
Tread proudly on the sod,
Thy proud and goodly heritage,
Thou chosen son of God.

The Elixir of Life.

In all ages and countries the search fol
an Elixir of Life has consumed the time
of philosophers and impoverished their
wealthiest patrons. And yet few persons
even if they could, would choose to live
forever on earth. Our happiness here is
SO involved with that of others, that he
who survives his family and friends has
little left for which to live. Could mans
existence be protracted to FIVE hundred
years, he would spend at least the last
four hundred years alone in the world,
with no companionship of wife or children
to alleviate care or sweeten pleasure
The legend of the Wandering Jew is re-
garded among all nations as typifying the
most awful penalty which it is possible to
suffer in this world. The desire for an
elixir of life is weak feeling, opposed to
all experience and to all correct reasoning
1t springs from that instructive love of
existence which belongs to the mere ami
NAL nature, and is not sanctioned, in this
its excess, by either the soul or the intel
lect. To live for centuries, yet grow old
at three score and ten, would be purga-
tory on earth. To survive all our friends,
even if we preserved our youth, would be
like living several lives, and enduring all
their griefs, when the sorrows of one life
are enough generally to bear down the
stoutest heart.
The happiest lot, is to fill the usual term
of life, and die in green old age before
we are left entirely alone. Few, however,
do this. But the fault is theirs, not ma
ture's. If all would live according to the
laws of their being, human, life would
nearly always extended to seventy But
we scourge ourselves to death with our
passions, or wear our existence out with
anxietieS about wealth, or consume our
physical powers in the fire of intemper-
ate living; and then, when death draws
nigh, We reproach heaven with not giving
US protracted days. There are some ca
ses, it is true, in which a weakly consti-
tuition is inherited from parents; with this
exception, we all have, as it were, long
or short life at our disposal. A cheerful
mind, methodical habits, and steady oc-
cupation, are nearly certain to produce
long life. But dissipation, excessive am
bition, passionate temper, and all other
causes which wear out the human machine,
inevitably shorten existence.
The true elixir of life is not to be sought
in medicine, therefore, but in the proper
ordering of our days. There is not an
hour, in our whole career, when we may
not do something either to lengthen or
shorten our lives. Yet how rarely do we
reflect on this! How little, when engaged
in the pursuit of pleasure, do we regard
this great truth! How frequently, when
seeking fortune, do We openly violate it!
To live long we must avoid excesses, wheth-
er of body or mind, do our duty to our
fellows, and take air and exercise; and
thus, with a mind at ease and regular
mode oflife, we may boast of having found
true the elixr.-Phila Bulletin.

Worth Knowing.

It's fact, perhaps not generally known
to farmers, and which at this season is i'm
portant, that there are two parts in the
Potato, which if separated and planted
at the same time, one viii produce pota-
toes fit for the table eight or ten days soon
er than the other. The small end of the
potato, which is generally full of eyes is the
part which produces the earliest; the mid
die or body of the potato the late and large
ones.

'Well, here's to thy health, then, De-
monia,' said young Sub lieutenant, OPP
ening one of the skins and preparing for
a draught. But his more prudent COM
mander restrained him.
'One moment. Since this wine is SO
good you will not object to a glass!
'Oh, dear, no as much as you please,
and accepting the3ness glass offered by
the lieutenant, she empted it without hes
itation.
'Huzza! huzzar shouted the soldiers,
delighted at the prospect of intoxication
without danger.
And your child will drink some also
said the hetenant-'he is so pale that it
will do him good
The Spaniard had herself drank with
out hesitation, but on holding the cup to
her infants lips, her hand trembled.-
The motion, however, was unperceived,
and the child also empted the glass
Thereupon the provision soon disappeared
and all partook both food and wine Sud-
denly, however, the infant was observed to
turn livid, its features contracted, and its
mouth conyulsed with agony, gave vent to
hideous shrieks. The mother, too, though
her fortitude suppressed complaint, could
scarcely stand, and her distorted features
betrayed her sufferings.
'Wretchn exclaimed the commander,
thou hast poisoned u.s.
'Yesp said she with a CHASTITY smile,
falling to the ground beside her child, al
ready struggling with the death; yes, I
have poisoned you. [ knew you would
fetch the skins from their hiding place
Was it likely you would leave dying
creature undisturbed in her litter? Yes,
yes!-you will die, die in perdition, while
| shall die and 90 to heaven!'
Her last words were. scarcely audible,
and the soldiers did not at first compre-
hend the full horror of their situation
but as the poison, operated the Spaniard
woman's declaration was legibly transla-
ted in her eonvulsed features No power
could longer restrain them. In vain their
commander interposed They repulsed
him-and dragging their expiring victim
to the torrent, threw her into it, after
lacerating her with more than hundred
sabre strokes. She uttered not a groap.
As for the child, it was the first victim.
Twenty-Five men were destroyed by
this exploit, which cannot call otherwise
than great and heroic. The commander
himself told he that he escaped by
miracle.
