BEAUTIFUL S1MTLE-The following is
from one of the discourses of Donne:
The ashes of an oak in the chimney are
no epitaph of that oak, to tell me how high,
or how large that was. Ittells me not what
focks it sheltered while it stood, nor what
men il hurt when il fell. The dust Of great
persons graves is speechless too,-it says
nothing, it distinguishes nothing. AS soon
the dust Of w:etch whom thou wouldst not,
as of prince whom thou couldst not look
upon, would trouble thine eyes, if the wind
blew it thither; and when the whirlwind
hath blown the dust Of a churchyard into the
church and the man sweeps it out the church
into the churchyard, who viii undertake to
sift those dusts again, and to pronounce-this
is the patrician, this is the noble -four and
this the yeomanry-this the pIebeian bran?'

Anecdotes for Farmers.

We have seldom read anything more sensi.
bic or apropos than the following remarks
and anecdotes from that excellent agricultu-
raj journal, The Maine Farmer illustrating
the importance of The proper care Of stock:
We may send to England for Durham
cows, or to Spain and Germany for the
choicest sheep; we may search the world
over for cattle that pleaSes the eye; but un-
less they receive the best care and liberal
feeding, they will most assuredly deteriorate,
and eventually become as worthless and un-
worthy Of propagation as any Of the skeleton
breeds that haunt our rich but neglected pas
.ure lands. We remember an anecdote in
point and will relate il by way of Illustration.
A farmer having purchased COW from a
country abounGing in the richest pasturage,
upon taking her TO his own inferior pasture,
found that she fell short of the yield which
he was informed she was accustomed to give
He complained to the gentleman Of whom
he had purchased that the cow was not the
one he bargained for, or, in other words, that
she was not what she was cracked up to be-
'Why,' said the seller, 4 sold you my
COW, but did not sell you my pasture too
The above, which we cut from an exchange,
reminds US of the reply which a shrewd old
farmer, whom we knew many years ago,
made to one of his neighbors. The latter
had obtained some pigs Of man residing
several miles off, and who, because intelli-
gent, particularly surpassed his neghbors
IN raising. Shortly after, meeting the old
gentleman referred to, he SAYS
'Well Mr.. Sweetser, I'm going to beat
you raising hogs this year; have got some
of J. Ms breed
: 'A-a-h,' drawled ont the old man, would
better get the breed ofhis hog trough!'
Man AND WoMAN.-Man is the creature
of inteaest and ambition. His nature leads
him forth into the struggle and hustle Of the
world. Love ia but the establishment of
his early life, or song piped in the interval
Of the acts. He seeks for fame, for place
: in the worlds thought, and dominion over
, his fellow-men. But wonan's whole life
IS history of the affections The heart is
| her world; it is there her avaiice seeks for
hidden treasures. She sends forth her SYM
l pathies on adventure-she embarks her whole
) soul in the traffic OF affection; and if ship
!; J. wrecked, her case is hopeless for it is bank
ruptcy of the heart.
