Three Things.


Three things that never become rusty: The
money OF the benevolent, the shoes on .
butchers horse, and a fretiul tongue.
Three thing. easily done: To allay thirs.
with fire, TO dry the vet with water, to please
all in everything that is done.
Three things that ars good as the best -
Brown bread in a famine, wcll-wster in thirst.
and great-coat IN winter.
Three things as good as they arc better,
Dirty water 70 extinguish fre, an Dgiy wife 10
blind man, and wooden sword 10 coward.
Three things that seldom agree: Two eats
over one morse, two scolding wives In one
house, and two lovers Of the same maiden.
Three things of short continuance A boys
love, chip fire, and brooks food.
Three things that ought never to bs from
home. The cat, the chimney and the house

Three things seen in the peacock: The
garb Of an angel, the walk of thief, sad the
voice of the devil.
Three things that are unwise to boast e.
The flavor of thy ale, the beauty of thy wifs.
and the contents OF thy purse.
Three miseries of mans house: A smo-

E'&rmerS.

Adam was farmer while yet in Paradise,
and after his falh commanded to earn bis
bread by the sweat of his brow.
Job, the honest, upright and patient, was
farmer, and his endurance has passed into
prover5.
Socrates was farmer, and yet welded to his
calling the glory of his immortal philosophy.
St. Luke was a farmer, and divides with
Promctheus the honor OF suljecting the OK to
the use of man.
Cincinnatus was farmer, and the noblcss
Roman OF them all.
Burns was farmer, and the muse found him
at the pillow, and filed his soul with poetry.
Washington was farmer, and retired from
the highest earthly station to enjoy the quiet
Of rural life, and present to the world a spec
tacle of human greatness.
To these may be added host of others who
sought peace and repose in the cultivation OF
their mother earth; the enthusiastic Lafayette,
the steadfast Pickering, the scholastic Jeffer-
son, the fiery Randolph, all found an Eldora-
do of consolation from life's cares and troub-
les, in the green and verdant lawns that sur
rounded their homesteads.

Madame La Grange, after accomplishing
her first brilliant success in the concert room,

WAS at Pavis, where her youthful talent COM
pletely eclipsed the reputation of 8 rival song

resentation was az once new triumph TO her,
aud new defeat for the lady who shared with
her the personation or the leading parts. This
overwhelming superiority against which there

Us il proceeds, increases into bitterness, and
is transformed into furious thirst for ven
