there happened to be a son Of Hibernia pres

MY dear fellow, = said the host q make no

Of speaking twice"
"Oh, " returned he, don't be uneasy at

to retain it; but even here, as in everything
else, you English have the advantage over
poor Paddy"
I" How so !' inquired the host.
"Why, you see,'' said the young Hibernian,
with a serious drollery that would have dis
graced Tyrone Power, that an Irishman is

TURKISH LADIES AND TURKISH MODES OF
COSvEYAScE.-The Turkish ladies use two
kinds of carriages-one, the ARABIA, is a long
wagon, without springs, covered with scarlet
wOolen cloth, fringed and tipped with gold,
and the body is usually painted red and high
ly gilded This is drawn by oxen. usually OF
a dove color, which are driven by reins This
carriage is mostly used in making short jour
neys into the country, while the taiika is the
town carriage. This has light body, hung
on springs, and drawn by single horse. Both
carriages without seats, as their occupants sit
on the cushions Of the bottom; neither is there
door, and they are forced to climb over the
side of the carriage by the help Of leader.
There being no roads in Turkey, except near
the capital, these carriages cannot be used,
and the ladies often ride on horseback, sitting
astride like the men.

PREPARATION FOR DEATH.-Wh hen you lie
down at night, compose your spirits as If you
were not to awake till the heaven he no more
And when you awake in the morning consider
that new day as your last, and live according
ly. Surely that night cOmeth, of which you
will never see the morning, or that morning Of
which you will never see the night, but which
of ycur morning or nights will be such, you
know not. Let the mantle of worldly enjoy
ments hang loose about you, that it may be
easily dropped when desth comes TO carry you
saking the ground, it is ready for the sickle,
when the fruit is ripe il falls off the tree east
ly. So when the Christians heart is truly
weaned from the world, he is prepared for
death, and it will be the more easy for him
A heart disengaged from the world il heaven
ly one, and then we are ready for heaven,
when our heart is there before us.-Bosto1.

flaws in his neighbOr's character we have no

who is unduy alarmed, by the results Of the
late elections. In Massachusetts and New
York this was the first year Of the Re5ubl-
can organization, while in New Jersey they
had no organization at all. In Massachu-
SETS Gov. Gardner certainly made splendid
run but 1t should be considered that this is
partly attributable to his "back bone" at Phil
adelphia, and II should also be considered
that the Americans have lost three eighths
Of the popular vote of last year, and instead
of having all the members of the House but
two, they are now in minority. In New
York they have lost more than one third Of
the popular vote which they cast last year.
and IN the Legislature are weaker than the
Republicans. In New Jersey, through the
lack Of united action between the Americans

Mr.. West of Hariland made some remarks
upon planting potatoes, and recommended
the planting of large potatoes.
Mr. Marsh of Clarendon said his expert.
ence had made him in favor Of pla nting
potatoes Of the medium size.
Mr. Field of Newfane, said he had had
some experience in " the small potatoe BUSH
ness" The seed obtained by cutting off
the top or seed end of potatoes would mature
sooner, than from the butt end. BY exper>
ment he had found that he could get pota-
toes ten or twelve days earlier by planting
the top end Of potatoes. To prevent the
rot, he had applied sulphur, aud had kept off
the disease. Mr. Field spoke at some
length in relation to the peculiar adaptation
OF our climate, for raising horses, for grow
ing fine wool and for raising fruit-and upon
that subject he was listened to by the farm
ers with unusual interest.

Secretary Of the U. 5. Agricultural society.
in response 70 call from Mr. Field. gave
the origin and progress Of that socieiy-and
showed eonolusively that 1t had stimulated
the raising of fine horses and sheep, that
they were now sold at much higher price
than they were before the society was organ
lied and that It had much increased the
wealth OF the State Much credit is due
