GESTLEHASLY CoSDUCT.-Self-respec is
the safest prevention against 9uarrsiing--
The man who il sure Of lis own position Is
the Slowest TO suspect another OF any de-
sign to question II; and hence the art of
avoiding alterations has generally been
deemed one of the peculiar characteristics
Of a gentleman Never to seem afraid of
being put upon, as the phrase gOss-never
10 argue q question merely, lest people
should think you can't argue it-neyer to
fight simply for fear the lOokerS-on might
.hink you a covard-these are some of the
Ina1ims on which all men Of superior minds
act, habitually and unconscioUsly, and it Is
this habit which gives 10 such men that air
of reposs and seltposscssion before which
fools stand absshed, and dandics are Wild
with envy.
Few men caa have mingled. even in the
slightest degree, IN society, without noticing
that one prominent feature in the character
OF a pdrreHY, is his proneness to take Of
fence. His ankles are sharper, his corns
"more tender than those Of other people.
There is really no knowing where to be safe
with him. The mon-nt you put your finger
on him, his brISties stand out like hedge
hogs The best plan, OF course, is 20 leave
such characters alone. We should do our
best to avoid infringing on their ramified ir-
reliability. II is senselsss to provoke man.
whoever he may be, who has the power TO
be mischievOus. The man who wants to
fight you in the street, because you push
against him, may be a low fellow, but that
will be no consolation if you go home with
black eve. Neither will it much mend the
matter if You give him two in return. On
thu whole, you will consider it very disa-
gree,ole business, and wish dcgoutly you
had never got into it.

How TO make OsE FARH EQUAL TO THREE.
In q recent address before the Ohio State
Agricultural Society, G. T. Steward, Esq,
thus spoke on this subject
MANY farmers ars destroying the pro-
ductivsness of their farms by shallow work
As they find their crops are diminishing,
they think only Of extending their acres ol
surface, as they suppose thsir title deeds
only give them a right to six inches OF EARN.
II they will take their deeds, STUDY usIi
meaning and apply the lesson to their fields,
thcy will soon realize, in three-fold crops,
that the law has given them three farms
where they supposed they had only one; in
other words, that the sub-soil, brought up
and combined with top-soil, and enriched
with the atmospheric influences, and those
other elements which agricultural science
teaches them to apply to their ground, will
Increase threc-fold the measure Of its pro-
ductiveness."
