THE ToMATo.-This vegetable has now
become universal fsvori,e, and is consid-
cred wholesome as we'll as palatable. il
is as hill of potatoes, after the plants are
two or three inches high-but the seeds be-
ing small they require little care to get
them started. They flourish on any soil
where Indian corn will, and require nothing
peculiar in the mode of cultivation. To-
mat oes may be prepared in The Autumn, as
they usually are for the table, then bottled,
corked and sealed with sealing WEEK, end
KEEP, through the year. It's no, absolutely
necessary to 60 to the expense OF lin
cans.
In speaking Of the tomato, the Working
Farmer says This plan. requires short
ening in for early ffuiiing. Ninety per ct.
Of the tomatoes grow within Is inches Of
the ground, end ninety per cent. Of the vine
above that point. As soon as the lower to-
ma,oes are the size OF hens egg the small.
er ones with the upper part Of the plant
should be cut of. This will cause the main
par. Of the crop to swell rapidly and produce
sbundan,ly, while the portion removed is OF
no value, as their ripening would have oc-
CURED late in The season, and if permitted
to remain, would have lessened the amount
of the main crop. $50

ders,ood me so thoroughly, i. will possess
more than an ordinary degree of interest,"
To you, therefore, dedicate the sad record
of strange infa,ua,ion.
This mild October day have been GU,
in the woods, and the old time feeling has
come over me again and awakened .hous-
and sad but pleasant memories. love this
season Of the yesr more than any other.
The hazy atmosphere always seems mel
lower, and the streams murmur more must
cally, Than at any other time, and | can
gaze for hours upon the gorgeous rain
bows woven by the fingers of the Frost
King through the tree tops, and watch with
an Undesirable rapture the scarlet leaves
whirling down from the lofty boughs-
From my earies. boyhood have loved

un.enan,ed chamber Of my heart.
But 10 proceed with my story.
As early as can remember, was of a
quiet and pensive disposition, and my
friends gave me the appella'ion Of ''singu-
lar" because preferred stealing off to some
quiet spot and enjoying my own thoughts
and fancies, to joining the giddy crowd,
and taking share 10 the smusemens of the
social circle. Why i, is never had any
taste for those pursuits which constitute
wha, are called the pleasures of society,
know not. !. may have been owing TO
some defect in my organization, or it may
have been because never INDUCED in them
enough to obtain relish therefor. !! is
said we can become accustomed 10 any
thing, and that usage begets within us a
love for that which is at first repulsive.-
Such, perhaps may be the case bu. never
could be induced TO mingle enough in So
cie.y 10 ascertain whether or no ! should
form liking for it; on the contrary grew
more and more fond Of being alone-of

We don'I like 10 joke a. the expense Of
bachelors, blu. This story told by the Mans
field Herald, is too good to be lost:
"a morning or two since, cries for as
sis.ance were heard to proceed from the
room OF highly respectable old bachel Tor.
On bursting open the door, he was found
frozen fast in tub OF water? Having
been troubled with bad cold, he thought
10 take bath in tub Of warm water, the
nigh. before, and felt SO comfortable, while
sitting IN i. that he dropped to sleep and
did no. awake until morning. He was, Of
course, unable 10 stir, and was compelled
TO call for help. To his grea, horror the
first person who rushed to bis aid was an
old maid who had feIsa partially for him.
She, supposing he intended joke upon
her, broke into the street again, her coun-
tenance filled with indignation and wound
ed vanity, and threw her hands violently a.
bout, exclaming -...
"Oh the hateful william - ....
His continued cries, however, brought
ourfliend speedy assistance, when, by chop
ping him GU. with Ratchet, and turning
him round and round like spit before the
FIRE, he was soon thawed out. He wishes
