answer of Curran, the Irish orator, to a

one occasion, when the barrister was ar
guing case before him, had the impu-
dence to reproach Curran for his poverty,
by telling him that he expected "his law

THE WORLD AS TT Is.

~ The world is not SO bad a world
As some would try to make it;
Though. whether good or whether bad,
10 Depends on ho'S We take it.
For five scotland fret all day,
rs From dewy morn kill even,
This world will ne'er afford to man
sic A foretaste here of heaven.
This world in truths as good world
As e'er was known to any
who have not seen another yet,
(And there are very many;)
And If the man and woman too
Have plenty of employment,
Those surely must be hard to please
Who cannot find enjoyment.
This world is quite clever world,
ssa In rain or pleasant weather,
i'm people would but learn to live
10 In harmony together; x
Nor seek to burst the kindly bond
sd BY love and peace .cemented,
And learn that best of lessons yet,
iooSTo always be contented.
Then were the world pleasant world,
$50 And pleasant folks were in it;
The day would pass most pleasantly
To those who thus begin it;
And all the nameless grievances
Brought on by borrowed troubles,
Would prove, as certainly they are,
A mass of empty bubbles.

The eloquence of the celebrated Whit
field it is said was at times irresistible.
The very accomplished skeptic, Chester
field, was present when this popular preach

figure of the blind beggar led by a little
dog. The dog had broken the string
The blind beggar with his staff between
both hands unconsciously CROPPED his way
to the side of precipiee. AS he felt
along with his staff it dropped down the
descent, too deep to send back an echo.
He sought it on the ground, and, bending
forward, took one careful step to recover
it. But he trod Oh vacancy, poised for a
moment, and then fell headlong, Ches-
terfield sprang from his seat, excIaiming:

Proverbs for Planters.

Never keep animals OH short allowance,
you.
Although, in draining land thoroughly,
your purse may be drained, yet the full
crops that follow will soon fill it up again.
Trying to farm without capital, is like
trying to run locomotive without fuel.
Money and wood must both be consumed.
if they arc to move the machine of the
farm or of the rail- ;
Always give the soil the first meal. If
this is well fed with manure, it will feed
all else-plants, animals, and man.
If you wish to give an energetic move-
ment to all yonr farm machinery, and keep.
its hundred wheels in rotation. be sure not
to be without a good rotation of crops.
If you allow your animals to shiver.
your fortune will shiver in consequence;
that is, the farmer who leaves his cattle to.
the winds, will find his profits also given
to the winds.
Heavy carrot crops for cattle will soon
return carats of gold.
Did you ever hear the musical notes
of a starving herd of hogs? Extinguish
by food those notes speedily, if you would
avoid even more annoying notes aftep
payday has passed.
Many farmer, by too sparingfy seed.

alludc to shootia' (By way of paren-
thesis, I have the best gun alive-just
l16 to the pound.) Now shootin' ought
to be encouraged. Who can tell how
soon we may be overrun with Lnyans?
And the horrid Russians and Lnglish and
Dennsqrks are always in the way. So we
ought to know how to shoot straight
And, how plaguey handy in hog KILN

bullet at the right place between the eyes.
I'm in favor of shootin'. But don't
want to talk about shootin' in general,
but the above said sport in particular.
You see it was a nice pint as they say.
The question was how we should make
the thing interestin' and not break the

fined, we didn't like even the appearance
Of gamblin'. So We put our heads to-
gether, me and the rest of them, and after
adeal of thinkin' we figured it out. We
ell said that we wouldn't bet no how, but
we'd make up a purse leach man throwin'
in q dollar) which should be divided into
three purses of different sizes, and when
the shootin' was over, these purses should
Be divided among the three most merito-
rious shooters. And the thing was nearly
Is interestin' as if we had bet. On the
first Saturday that l was there, l had no
merit, but some how the next time the
committee give me Eve dollars-all for
meritorious shootin' n'-enough to keep me
"a liquor three weeks. Oh, l tell you I'm
in nfaYor.of shootin' when merits rewarded.
And all ask is just enough sperrits to
steady the nerves and I'm ready.
II wish you would publish this, Mr..

Poor Farming an Expensive Business.


The truth is, poor farming is an expen>
sive business The cost exceeds the in
come. If from very low grade of far
ming, which must ofcourse be Improbable,
we ascend to better condition Of art,
we shall come to point where is neither
loss nor gain. The income equals the
outgoes; the ends meet; as they say. And
this if we understand these matters, is the
very condition in which nine-tenths of our
farming now is.
The farmer of hundred acres puts onr
his farm, in his own labor, in the labor Of
his wife and children, in taxes, insurances,
&C., $500. And he takes off in some
marketable produce or for home consump-
tion $500. 1.-The ends meet" and If
there is nc better way, he need not com-
plain, for he is working his way through
the world as quietly and easily as most
men for the development of high moral
qualities he has the advantage of most
others; and what is more, he has the best
possible means of training his children to
those habits of industry and frugality
which more than conspire to make them
good men and women, and worthy citi-
zens. Let him not thesefore, complains
We do not believe that farming is neces-
sarily limited to the operation of putting
on $500 and taking off $500, the better
way is to put on 500 and take of $S00.
and then put on 5000 and take of $1,000,
There is doubtless limit beyond which
the income could not be made to increase
above the expenditures; but very few Of
us are in danger of arriving at it,
Onr standard is too low. Men are afraid
to trust their land, least it should not pay
them. 1t is the best pay master in tho
world

Josthem had been thinking over fine
speeches which he meant to utter when
opportunity shoald be given by the with
drawal Of the old folks. But when the

and he twirled his hat more industriously
than ever. But Tibiths Twistleton had
more presence Of mind, and after ENJOYING
his embarrassment for awhile, she opened
her mouth and asked him what made him
SO dumb?
! Upon that hint he spake" Anything
was better than nothing to break the ice;
