HUSBANDS ARE NOT OLD AND TRIED FRIENDS.
A gentleman played off rich joke on his bet
ter half the other day, being something of
an epcure, he took it into his head that he
should like to have first rate dinner. So he
addressed her note politely informing his
wife that - gentlemen of her acquaintance
ar old and true friend, would dine with
her that day" As soon as she received it,
all hands went to work to get everything in
order. Precisely at II o o'clock she was pre-
paced to receive her guest. The house was
as clean as a new pima sumptuous dinner
was on the table, and she was arrayed in her
best attire. A gentle knock was heard, and
she started with palpitatipg heart to the
door. She thought it must be an old friend,
perhaps a brother, from the place whence
they once moved. On opening the door she
saw her husband with smiling coWntenance.
Why, my dear" says she in an anxious
tone, &C WHARF is the gentleman of whom you
spoke in your note?''
Why" replied her husband, complacent-
ly, here he is"
You said gentleman Of my acquaint-
ance-an old and true friend, would dine
with us to-day"
Well" said he, good -humoredly, am
not gentleman OF your acquaintance, an
old and true friend 2
"Oh I" she cried distressingly, " is there
nobody but you?"
Well declare, this is too bad," said his
wifi, in an angry tone.
The husband laughed immoderately his bet
ter half said she felt like giving him tongue
lashing-but finally they sat down costly
together. and for once they had good din
ner without company.

The rents for the best wheat lands, IS per

and for lands for meadows, spring crops, &c,
from 81 to 81 per acre. And the land is ca

"YoU FoRGor ME."-A good joke is told
at the expense of one of our churCh-going
citizens, who is the father of an interesting
family Of children, and among them bright
eyed boy numbering four or five summers,
the pet of the household, and unanimously
voted the drollest little mischief alive.
On Saturday night he had been bribed to
keep peace and retire to bed at an hour earlier
than usual, with the promise that on the NOR
row he might 60 with the family to church.
On Sunday morning it was found inconve-
nient to put the youngest through the regular
course of washing and dressing necessary for
proper appearance at the sanctuary, and the
family slipped off without him. They had
not, however, more than become comfortably
seated in their pew, when in walked the
youngest, with nothing on but night wrap
per and cloth cap.
You forgot me-" said he, in tone loud
enough to be heard all over the church.
The feelings of the parents can be more
easily imagined than described Laf Jour

A QUAKER GENERAL.-Friend Eli Jones,
representatives from China, was elected last
week Major General of the I'd Division of
Maine, on the part of the House. Whereup.
on friend Jones made speech, in which, after
abiding to the wonderful changes that have
taken place in the public sentiment in regard
to temperance and slavery within the past ten
years, he says: "Stll more wonderful, who
would have believed that the State of Maine,
which not few years since gori6ed in an
Aroostook expedition, and was noisy with
military trainings and the din of arms, would
in 1855 exhibit the spectacle of a peaceable
member of the Society of Friends being cleo
ted to the post Of Major General of Divi-
sion of Militia, and that too by the represen.
tatives of the people in legislative capacity"
In case he should accept the honor rendered
him, he goes on to say: "With much pleas
ure would he stand before the Militia of the
second division, and give such orders as he
thought best. The first would be to " Ground
arms" The second would be Right about
face Beat your swords into plowshares and
your spears into pruniug-hooks, and learn war
no more !" and he would then dismiss every
man to his farm and his merchandise, with an
admonition daily read at his Preside the New
Testament, and ponder upon its tidipgs of
Peace on earth and good will to men 7" He
was doubtful, however. whether his election
was not q little ahead of the spirit of the
times, and he should therefore decline the ex-
allied position rendered him by the House.

burn it to ashes, and spread the ashes over
the bed.
I then go to my barn-yard; | take a load
of clean, fresh stable manure, and add thereto
half bushel of hen dung; turning over and
mixing the whole together throughout. This
makes pretty powerful compost. apply
one such load to every twenty feet in length
of my Asparagus beds which are six feet wide.
With strong three-pronged spud or fork, l
dig this dressing under. The whole is now
left for the winter.
In the spring, as early as possible, l turn
the top of the bed over lightly, once more.
Now, as the Asparagus grows naturally on the
side of the ocean and loves salt water, l give
it an unsual supply of its favorite condiment.
I cover the surface of the bed about quar-
ter of an inch thick with fine packing salt I;
it is not too much. As the spring rains come
down, it gradually dissolves. Not weed will
appear during the whole season. Everything
else, pigweed, purslin, all refuse to grow on
top Of my Asparagus beds. But it would do
your eyes good to see the strong, stout, tender
stalks of the plant itself push up through the
surface early in the season. do not at all
streatch point when I say that they are as
large around as my hoe handle, and as tender
and succluent as any Il ever tasted. The same
round of treatment is given to my bed every
year.-Amcrican Agricuiturist.

BURNING MUD FOR CoAL.-Dr. Thomas
Hooker, of New Orleans, has discovered
chemical preparation which, mixed with mud
as brick.layer would mix lime with sand,
makes an excellent coal coal that can be
made and sold in New Orleans market for
thirty cents per barrel, if made by hand, or
ffteen cents, made by machinery. 1t lights
easily; there is no offensive smell emitted;
but little smoke, and but very little dust or
cinders. What little cinders arc left, is good
for cleaning silver, brass or other similar met
ais and the ashes make tolerabe sand pa
per, and is also good for scrubbing floors, &c.

merican Exponent, "that it will not Only

TO RAISE GIANT ASPARAGUS.

A writer in one of the early volumes of the
Hortoculturist, Mr.. Dowing, we belicve,)
tells us how to grow common Asparagus SO
that it will always rival any giant production.
He says
Every one who has seen my beds has begged
me for the seed-thnking it a new sort--but
l have pointed to the manure heap-(the
farmers best bank land told them that the
secret all laid there The sight was only snch
as might be seen in every garden.
About the first of November-as soon as
the frost has well blackened the Asparagus
tops-I take the scythe and NOW all down
close to the surface Of the bed; let it lie a. day
or two, then set fire to the heapof stalks,
