most skillful. The counterfeit is quite
unlike the genuine bill.--BOston Trav-

WILD OATs-A crop that is gener-
ally sown between eighteen and twen-
ty-6ve. The harvest sets in about ten
years after, and is commonly found to
foeonsist of a broken constitution, two
Gr'eak legs, a bad cough; and a large
sptrunk with small phials and mercurial
nc preparations. We can hardly say that
to he yield pays for the time and money
fe'xpended in the cultivation.
nr Dobbs says he never interviewed but
fonce, and that was between an Irish
man and his wife, while they were ex-
changing smoothing irons, and the fol-
lowing was what he got: one broken
head, four kicks in the corduroys, and

Noreys was far to deep reasone.
to fall in to the error of modern teach
ers, who suppose that education ca
dispense with labor. No mind be

The cunning never forgive thos
who refuse to be duped by them.
Never believe the world is base;
it were so, no society could hold t.

So vital a necessity to all men
