RURAL AxIoMs.-ll Is as cheap to raise
one ton of grass or clover as ton OF bur
docks or pig-weeds.
1t costs no more TO raise hundred BUSH
els Of cider apples, or ten barrels OF VEga-
|lieus or Bar,leus, than the same quantity OF
choke pears.
An axe costing two dollars, with which
IA laborer may cut fifty cords a month, Is a
cheaper tool than sn axe costing but one
dollar, with which he can cut only forty
cords.
A 'cheap pIow" a, five dollars, costing
in one seasrn three dollars 10 repairs, and
three more in los, time 10 teams and men,
and BY re.arding crops, is dearer plow than
one a. ten dollars requiring no repairs.
cow bought for Ten dollars, whose milk
but jus, pays her keeping, affords less profit
than one at thirty dollars, giving twice the
quantity of milk afforded by the former
common dasher-churn at two dollars,
used one hundred times year, is not so
economical purchase as Kendall churn
at four dollars, requiring but halt the labor
TO work it.
A len acre field costing fifty dollars per
acre, and dilched, manured, and improved
at fifty dollars more, so as to glve'" the
crops, is much more valuable than twenty
acres unmproved, costing the same money.
The man who loses half an hour Of Time
worth one shilling, and wears his wagon and
team equal to two shilings more, by going
over long and rough road, to avoid plank
road toll of sixpence, loses just Two and six
pence by the operation.
The laborer who wastes half his strength
in working all day with a dull saw, be-
cause he canno, give shilling or afford an
hour to ge, i. sharpened, will waste d. least
twenty five cents per day, or six or seven
dollars per monlh.-.4lbany Cultiuator.

SENTIMENrALITY.- What is called senli-
mental writings" says Horace Wa pole,
.:lhough i, may be understood 10 appeal sole
ly to the heart, may be the product of bad
one. One would imagine that Sterne had
been man Of very tender heart, yet |
know from ndubi,abIe authority, that his
mother who KEEP, school, having run in debt
on account OF an eXtravagant daughter,
would have rotled in Jail if the parents of
the scholars had not raised subscription
lor her. Her son haG too much sentiment
to have any real feeling. A dead ass was
more important to him than living mother"

FEMALE DELIcACY.-Above every other
feature which adorns The female character
delicacy stands foremost in the province of
good taste. No, that delicacy which is per-
pelually in quest of something TO be asham-
ed of, which makes merit of blush, and
shippers at the false Construction its own in
genuity has put upon an innocent remark !;
this spurious kind of delcacy is as far re-
moved from good feeling and good sense
bu, the high-minded delicacy which main
'ains lis pure and underwriting walk allke
amongst women as in The society of men,
which shrinks from no necessary duty, and
can speak, when required, with seriousness
and kindness Of things a, which it would
BE ashamed 10 smile or bIush-thst delicacy
which knows how TO confer benefi. with
out wonnding the feelings of another, and
understands also how and when 10 conceive
one-lhal delicacy which can give aims
without display, and advice withou, assump-
ton; and which pains not the most suscep-
'ible being in creation.

THE GIRLs.-No. long since marriage
was to be celebrated in the village church.
The minister after making very eloquent
and touching discourse on the duties and
rights of those who were united. suddenly
exclaimed, "Those who wish to be married
will please rise" and Immediately after there
shot up above the seated multitude, the heads
Of crowd of young gifls, who had under
stood the remark which was addressed 10
the contracting parties as a general invita-
lion TO all who were desirous to leave the
selfish state Of single blessedness.

bound one round the letter ] sent him this
morning" Again she sank into silence;
but this time her musings took ssdder
tone. 81 am innocent to him." murmured
she, but no, so, God, before thee. Untrue
to Percy, false TO my royal mistress, how
does The sad patience Of Katherine OF Ara
gon upbraid me now! Vain, frlvolous,-I
have lived for the pomp and pleasures OF
this world, and have now my requIal."
The evening passed on, but every moment
added to the restlessness Of The unfortunate
captive. Hope deferred Is sickness to the
heart; and she was now suffering iha! SICK
ness at its worst. She had that day written
to Henry that touching letter, which history
has preserved, and every moment she eX-
pecled an answer. The suspense was dread
Iful. The least noise sent the color 10 her
temples, which, then receding, left her pale
as death.
At last lhe governor Of the Tower came.
as he did every evening; and the sight OF
human face, and The sound Of human
step, were positive relief. "Well, sir Johnn'
exc aImed she, in the strange mood whose
hys,e,ical excitement so often takes the
have much trouble with nv neck, ,''-snd
she spsnned with her fingers her slender
and snowy throat. The governor was ST.
lent; he lacked the heart to tell her that he
was The bearer Of her death warrant. AT
that moment packer was given in for the
queen. She snatched il eagerly, but her
hand nembled so; iha, she could scarcely
break The seal. A hope deadful so des-
perate, that was almost fear, yet lingering
ed with her. She opened The scroll, and
out rolled the ring, with The ,ruelover's
knot, which she had given her royal suitor.
She read the lines with the camness Of
despair. They were as follows:
"Elenry Tudor returns 10 Anna Boleyn the
ring which Lord Percy gave her"
"lIy fate is sealed - said the queen, with
a sbudder. |. acas sealed indeed, for the
next morning WAS Anna Boeyn beheaded.

SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS AT HAvANA.-Mr
Brooks, one of the editors of the New York
ErpreSs, closes a letter on Sunday amuse-
ments, as follows:
''L"ok now to another picture of Hava-
ma Sunday. Here, open to the view of all,
Is cock-fght, where the cocks are trained
and fed, weighed and measured for their an
iagonlsts. Large sums in ounces of gold
and pounds of silver, depend upon such

result. The cocks crow loud enough over
their victims, but there is louder crackIe

where the skill is to pick out the centre pin

A COLLEGE ANECDoTE.-Our Ben was
member of-College. Some people per-
lnsciously insisted that he was ''sowing his
wild oals'' broadcast, and backed up the as
sertion By the following:
One morning Ben presented himself with
the class in Astronomy al recitation, hav-
ing been out on spree The night before,
and scarcely recovered from a horrid dream
of sherlffs and "Nlane Liquor Laws" The
Professor he'd no mercy for such characters,
and always delighted to ''bore" when he
found subject. The following dialogue
ensued.
Professionalism is Time ;"
"Don't know, sir" was the answer.
"Whal is apparent Time :"
'Don't know, sir," was again slowly
drawled forth.
P-"What is mean Time ,"
Ben's eye sparkled, and the muscles of
his face twitched, as was his wont, when he
was conscious Of having a clincher. Tuck
ing hastily in stray fragment Of shirt, he
almost shouted
FiUe O'Clock IN The morning, sir! and re-
tired amid a roar of laughter, TO indulge in
"a lnlle more-Fourlh Proof. - Yankee
Blade.

A FOND HoUsEKEEPER.-A toy seller
who had recently taken 10 himself wife,
was exceedingly tender to her in epithe'; !;
his frequen, address was, MY lamb" One
day lllle dirty faced boy asked for toy,
and the busy toy seller said, my lamb,
serve that boy, please" The boy was serv-
ed, and went away, but soon returned TO
have his toy changed. The toy seller doubt
ed whether i. was bought al his shop, and
said, "Who served thee :" The lad replied,
SIT wor tlam6, sir" The toy seller blush
ed, exchanged the toy, and, for the future,
addressed his wife as if she were rational
creature.
