HOW TO BE HAPPY.

tilul lessons in life. She. says:-
A boon Of inestimable worth is
calm, thankful heart--a treasure that
few. very few. possess. We once met
an old man, whose face was mixture
Of smiles and sunshine. Wherever he
went, he succeeded in making every

How to Make one Farm Equal to
Three.

G. L. Stewart. ESQ.,, in recent Adj
dress before the Ohio Agricultural So
ciety. TINS speaks on the subject.
Many farmers who are destroying
the productiseness Of their farms BY
shallow work, as they find that their
crnps are diminishing. think only Of
extending their area by adding acres
Of surface. as if they supposed that
their title deeds only gave them right
to six inches depth-ofearth. If they will
take those deeds, study their meaning,
aud apply the lessons to their fields,
thev will soon realise in threezlnld
crops the fact that the law has given
them three farms where they supposed
they had but one-in others that The
subsoil brought up and combined with
the top soil and enriched with the at
inospheric influences. and those other
elements which agricultural science
will increase three-fold the measures
Of its productiveness. To show to
what an extent the fertility Of the soil
can be increased, in the year 1880.
there were nine competitors for the
premium corn crop Of Kentucky, each
of whom cultivated 10 acres. Their
average crop was about l22 bushels per
acre. At that time the crop Of wheat
per acre in the haryests Of Great Bri-
tain, ON a soil cultivated for centuries,
is about double that proposed on the
virgin soil Of Ohio. Why is thiss SIM
ply because British farmers are educat.
ed men, and apply work wisely. They
pay back to the earth what they bor-
row; they endeayor BY every means in
their power, TO enrich their ground and
in return it enriches them. Ii our far
mers, instead Of laboring to double
their acres would endeasor TO double
their crops. they would find it vast
saving Of time and toll, and an increase
Of profits.
Many Of them never think Of digging
ten inches into the soil, unless the,
have dreamed about crock of gold hit
in the earth; but ii they would set abou
The work of digging in earnest, every
man would find his crock of gold with
4 i'm the aid Of dreams and divination.
We have a great advantage over tho
British farmers in the fact that our far
mers nearly all hold the lands whicl
they cultivate, in fee simple, while il
England they are chiefly tenants. hir
ling the lands of the nobility, paying
enormous rents to the proprie.ors, be
sides heavy taxes to government. Tax
Ies here are comparatively light, AM
our farmers are their own landlords
Hence they have been able to pay thre
fold wages for labor to those paid i
Europe, pay the cost of fransporta
tion, and yet under sell the British far
mers in their own market.

AN ELorEuENT.-A young couple, anxious to
assume the responsibilities of conjugal life, left
Cleveland on Friday evening, and arrived at Co.
lumbus on Saturday morning, where they spent
the day. On Sunday morning they took the morn
ing tram for Cincinnati, destined for Aberdeen,
the Gretna Green of the State. In the meantime,
the papas of both lovers discovering their absence
had set out in pursuit OF the runawayS. Passing
through Columbus on Saturday evening without
nnding them, they continued on-the father of the
gentleman stopping AT Xenia, while the parent of
the lady continued on 10 Morrow, where they lay
train at the former place, on Sunday, it thor
oughly searched, but no discovery took plac1-the
pair having adroltly changed garments at Crlum-
bus, and both being thus pretty efectually dis
guiSed. At Morrow, the young lady's papa also
came on board, took look through the cars, shook
his head, and found seat nearly opposite the fu-
gitives.
Things continued in this manner until approach
ing the city, the conductor was making his last
round, collecting the tickets of the passengers
Some little awkwardnesS on the part of the lady,
growing out of her unusual ai.irc, attracted the
observation of the old gentleman opposite. His
suspicious were aroused. A moments observa-
ton convinced him that the lost were found, and
Seizlng the young scapegrace by the shoulder, he
lifted the veil which concealed his glowing fea-
lures. Like an old fogy, he was, he ray ed,
Stormed, and Swore not little. scene of con
fusion, understandable, enSued. The question Of
propiety of the proceeding on the part of the low
erS was argued by a score of voices, pro and con-
Papa was inexorable. The parties were ordered
to exchange garments, which they did, vowing
eternal fidelity, and the young people were brought
to the city, aud taken back this morning, 10 await
another opportunity, which, the chap is pretty
keen, and the lady very pretty and somewhat
terprising, they will not probably be long i'll dis
