BoRRowING TooI.s.-It is an old saying
che that goes borrowing, goes sorrowing ~
and still older one, ''thc borrower is a SER
want to the lender" But so far as applies to
farm tools, yankee ingenuity seems to have
reversed these sayings, for one of the greatest
annoyanccs of some neighhorhoods is the ne
cessity of lending tools.-'Wo ont you lend me
your cart o-day e. 81 want to borrow your
crowbar. Cant you let us have your
drag ?'-"Arc You going to use Your old
mare to-day !'-"Fathcr wants to get your
oxen. II want half dozen of your new
bags" &C., are usually followed by long
searches for lost bags, half days spent in get
ting carts and harrows repaired, &C. "Why
father, Mr.. Dumplin said he would pay for
that cart, if you would get it mended" lie
would indeed, would he,--this would cost
him about one fourth of my loss of time in
going to him for it, and taking it to and re-
turning from the blacksmith shop, to say
nothing of three days delay III getting my
work done z" "But father you know that's
great deal better than Mr.. Sugarplum did
when he borrowed your cultivator, for when
he broke it. he swore at you behind your
back, for lending him such II rotten machine,
and wouldn't never pay a cent.
John where's the crowbar q 81 don't
know sir, I've hunted for it good deal for
two OF three days. "llave you looked in
the barn 2" Eyes, hunted all through the
barn, and the carriage house, and the corn
house." "llave you asked Jim g. ''Jim,
haven't you seen the crow-bar nowhere -
"Why, yes, | saw it at Squire Noodles; he
borrowed it one day when you was gone a.
way to pry ups bar-post, and it has been
stickin' there ever since"
Every farmer should have full set of inn
PIGMENTS and tools, and hare a place for every
hing, and everything in its place. If he has
not the means, let him sell Off corner Of his
farm TO procure thcm.-lflb Culiirmor.

EalEcness Of Earth.

EaIscness Of Earth.
Tho storm had past, and nature now
Shonc forth with cheerful glow
And circlng bright on evenings brow,
Bramcd heavens prophetic bow.
While on its bcauteous tints we gazed,
\ child roamcd forth from play,
Aud longcd to grasp and stool amazed,
Then hurried Oh its way.
1t thought Of cllildhood's tabled tale
Oftrcasurc ut its feet,
To catch it. flew far down the vale
With earnest step and fleet.
But soon returning slow ii came
Tears bursting from its eyes,
s'Thc beautcous thing ran to claim
Oh far away it flies"
Thus spake the child, and thoughts to me
Came rushing thick and fast;
How chcated-how deceived are VIC
by phantoms rushing past.
We look ont into earth and see
Lies SNOWY colors glcam,--
We run to grasp them aud they flee,
Things are not what they scem.''
Amongst the tliroug that bear their part
Amid iiic's varied way,
We think to find some honest heart,
To cheer our darksone day.
We trust to it, but soon we find
Ills but "a bruised rced,''
That which We to our hearts would bind
OFT fails in hour Of need.
The earth itself which looks SO fair
Is but the dust OF man;
The ages past have laid him there,
Since first the Earth began.
Since all things thus drlusivc arc,
We look for power to save,
And long to yield this load of care
And lay us i'll the grave.
To lay orr bodies down to rest
From carth's perplcXing woes;
Our souls to fly to Heaven the blcst,
Fearless Of deaths dark thrucs.
For in that other woril above
Deceit can never come,
There with u God Of iru;h and love
Hc'H f"d our Fathcr's home.

CHARCOAL FOR FATTENING TURKEYS "A
correspondent of the Germantown Telegraph,
who had frequently seen charco al recommen-
ded for fattcning animals but who was skep-
teal as to its value, satisfied himself with the
following experiment:
-Four turkeys were confined in pen and
fed on meal, boiled potatoes and oats. Four
others of the same brood, were also at the
same time, confined in another pen, and fed
daily on the same articles, but with onepan of
very finely pulvcrizcd charcoal with their
mixed meal and potatoes. They had also
plentiful supply of charcoal in their pen. Tho
eight were killed on the same day, and there
was a difference Of one and a half pounds each
in favor of the fowls%hich had been supplied
with the charcoal, they being much the fat
est, and the meat greatly superior in point of
tenderness and favor"

SELECT YoUR SEED CoRN.--Now is the time
to select ears of corn for seed. 60 into the
field and pluck of the earliest ears, and such
as arc well filled; and you will gain something
by selecting from stalks that have two cars
on them. It is important that you select in
the field, and before all the ears are hard for
thus you will gain several days in the ripen-
ing next year.
We think it probable that majority Of
our farmers neglect to select their seed cars
till the time Of husking. But then they cam
not determine certainly whether they take
the earliest ears.
Corn is so important a crop, and so much
of tits of,en lost by carly frosts, that it is of
much consequence to plant that which will
ril en- early, Many fa,1ncrs know the impor-
lance of taking for seed what ripcns earliest,
but they are apt to forget and NEGLECT

growing inincdiatcly out thereof, which ought
to have been provided for last year, but which
have been crowded into til, present year
amounting, as will appear from the statements
hcrcinbciorc given, to about 81 400 .00-had
been then levied, it would have required last
year an additional tax Of | | cents in the Sl00
to have raised that additional amount; and
this / cents added TO the G3 cents in the
800, which we have shown WAS tho actual
amount expended, would have made the
county tax for 1853, II cents in the SlDO, or,
| cents in the SlOJ higher than in 1851, the
whole levy counted. But We have shown
that the taxes for the present year, except
for extraordinary charges, would have been
but 80 cents in the so !; or. 50 cents less than
the rate of tax justly chargcablc to 1888.
Thus, fair comparison seems to show L very
considerable difference in favor of 1851.
Induced by the considerations referred to
at the commencement Of this Report, we have
been thus explicit in detailing the causes by
which the heavy taxes Of the present year
have been made necessary. All Of llich is
respectfully submitted.

What world of deep sweetness
There is in the tone
That comes to US kindly
When weary and lone;
Enwreathed with the laurel,
What rest could we find,
Ifloye never cheered us
With words that are kind.
The floating Of music,
When morning is bright,
May fall on the spirit
Like droppings of light.
For oh, they are pleasant
The hymns of those birds
But never, no never,
So sweet as kind words.
I've sat in the shallow
OF twilight's short wing,
And dreamed about angels,
And songs that they sing,
They're lovely-such visions,
BY fancy combined,
But o, how much sweeter
Are words that are kind.
o. thou who art favored
With fortune and friends,
In whose cup of gladness
No bitter drop blends
Wherever the tempter
Is spreading his snare.
Remember, | charge thee

And though all degraded,

Thou yet may'st redeem him
