WORKING OxEN.-When oxen refuse
to work equally well on either side, or
when they pull off against each other
yoke them on the side you wish them to
work, and turn them out to feed in that
way they soon get accustomed to it, and

CONSIDERING that Louis Gaylord CLARK
" has been, for the unexampled period of
twenty years, editor of a leading Literary Mag
azine in this country that his labors mean
while have been constant, arduous and lire
quilted that they have been eminently cred
liable to his abilities and character, and of great
service to his country in developing its intel
lectual resources, several OF his friends met
together last December to devise some suitable
plan for rendering TO him a substantial comPli-
mentary Benefit, in alIresPects appropriate for
the Literary Class to offer, and for him to re-
ceive. The result was a project for publishing
such a work as is above described and upon
submitting the plan to Washington Irving, Will
liam C.. Bryant, Fitz-Henry Halleck, Henry w.
Longfellow and other leading Literary men of
the United States, it received their cordial ap-
prevail so that the committee having the mat
ter in hand are able to announce for the ensu-
ing season 4 Literary Sovenie, beyond all par
allel in the eminencc of its writer's and in me-
chanical execution equal at least to any SINH
lar publication ever issued from the American
press. The collection of portraits of Ameri-
can writers will be far more complete than any
hit erto attempted.

IL Gates are much handler, and
far more economical in the long run, than
bars. At every entrance, set a good
stone post firmly in the soil, and append
thereto a light but strong gate. With
the proper materials and tools, almost
any person can instruct a good and eff
cient gate and hang it. It should also
be protected from the weather by a coat
of paint.
