PITHY PRovERBs.-By suffering
we may avoid SHINING; but by sin
ningwe cannot avoid suffering.
Honor, like the shadow, follows
those who fee from it, but flies
from those who pursue it.
He who will take no advice, but
be always his own counselor, shall be
sure to have a fool for his client.
Correction does much, but encour-
agement does more. Encourage
ment after censure is as the sun after
a shower.
Laws should be so framed, that
the pnblic would find it more tc
their interest to keep them than tc
disobey them.
Implicit faith proves imbecility;
yet improbable relations should be
slepticalIy received, not positively
denied.
Boosting seldom ornever accom-,
panies sense of real power, When
men feel that they can express them
selves by deeds, they do not otter
care to do so by words.
Secret sorrow is like those de-
structive ingredients which we are
forced to confne and seal up, but
.corrode in the vessels in which they
are contained.

VENTILATION OF STABLEs.--We
have sometimes speculated as to
which stable is most inimical to the
health and comfort Of horses, the one
with an inch between each plank
in the floor, a hole Yin the door, a
clapboard off one side, and a broken
window in the other, with leaky
roof, or a small, tightly built one,
without any means Of ventilation.-
Unfortunately, there are too many
of each class in all sections of the
country. But the number is we
trust, yearly getting less. See to
it however you who have had energy
enough to build a neat, good, sub
stantial barn that from lack Of Judi
cions ventilation your horses are not
as much injured in eyes aud lungs
from the lack Of good air and the
constant eXhalation Of noxious va
pors, as they would be in other res
poets in the tumble-down barn of
your neighbor ShiItless.-[R

our tombs ."-Webster's speech in the Senate, j
ly, 1851
The mould dpon thy memory! No,
Not while one note is rung,
Of those divine, immortal songs,
Milton and Shakespeare sung:--
Not till the night of years enshrouds
The Anglo-Saxon tongue.
No, let the food of time roll on,
And men and empires diet
Genius enthroned on lofty heights,
Can its dread course defy,
And here on earth can claim the gift
OF Immortality.
Can save from that Lethean tide
That sweeps so dark along,
A peoples name--a peoples fame
To future time prolorg,
As Troy still lives and only lives
In Homer's deathless song.
What though to buried Ninevah
The traveller may come,
And roll away the stone that hides
That long forgotten tomb:-
He questions its mute past in vain;
It's oracles are dumb.
What though he stand where Balbcc stood
Gigantic in its pride,
No voice comes DER that silent waste,
Lone, desolate and wide;
They had no bard, no orator,
No state ,man-and they died.
They lived their little span of life,
They lived and died in vain;
They sank inploriously beneath
Oblivion's silent rein
As sank beneath the dead sea wave,
The Cities Of the Plain.
But for those famed immortal lands,
Greece and imperial Rome,
Where Genius left its shining mark,
And found its chosen home,
All eloquent with mind they speak,
Wood, wave and crumbling dome.
The honeyed words of Plato still
Float on the echoing air;
The thunders Of Demosthenes
Egean waters bear.
And the pilgrim TO the Forum hears
The voice Of FULLY there.
Aad thus THY memory shall live,
And thus thy fame resound,
While far-off future ages roll
The solemn cycle round,
And make this wide, this fair New World
An ancient classic ground.
Then with our country's glorious name,
Thine own shall be e~twined;
Within the Senate's pillar'd hall
Thine image shall be shrined;
And on the nations law shall g!eom
Light from thy giant mind.
Our proudest monuments no more
May rise to meet the sky;
Our stately capital o'erthrown,
Low in the dust may lie;
But MIND, sublime upon the wreck,
IMMoRTAI.-cannot die.

FACTS IN AGRIcuLTURE--All
permanent improvement of land must
look to lime for its basis.
Periodical applications of ashes
tend TO keep up the integrity ofthe
soils.
All grain crops should be harvest
ed before the grain is Thoroughly ripe.
To manure wet lapd is to throw
manure lime and labor away.
Clover, as we'll as the grasses in
tended for hay, should be moved
when in bloom.
Shallow ploughing operates to
impovefish the soil, while it decreas-
es production.
Punctuality in engagements is as
necessary to the agriculturist as it
is to the merchant.
Deep ploughing greatly improves
the productive powers Of every soil
that is not wet.
Subsoiling sound land, that is not
wet, is eminently conducive TO in
crease production.
Always provide an equivalent for
the substances carried off the land
TO products grown thereon.
The chopping Or grinding of grain
to be fed to stock, operates as as say
ing of at least % per cent.

To MAKE HENS LAY PERFECT

To MAKE HENS LAY PERFECT
uALLY.-Keep no ROSTERS; give the
hens fresh meat, chopped up like
sausage meat--a very small portion,
say half-an-ounce day to each hen
in winter or from the time insects
disappear in the fall till they appear
again in the spring. Never allow
any eggs to remain in the nest for
what are called nest eggs. When
the roosters do not run with the hens,
and no nest eggs are left in the nest,
the hens will not cease laying per-
petually. If the above plan. were
generally adopted, eggs would be as
plentiful in winter as in summer
One reason why hens do not lay in
winter as in summer, is the want Of
animal food which they get in sum-
mer in abundance in the form ofin-
sects.-English Paper.
