Spare the QuaiIs.

Every farmer is acquainted with this bird
though few are aware of their usefulness in
ridding the land of noxious plants such as
thistles, docks, DC. During the early sum-
mer, before any grain is matured, this little
bird is to be seen cleaning its food from
among the weeds fast ripening along with
the crops, and which would otherwise prove
source of incalculable annoyance.
When we consider that each full grown
bird consumes a gill of seed day, we can
imagine of how much service they in reality
are. Audubon, the great ornithologist Of
America proves their usefulness to the hus-
bandman. The sportsmen well know that
it is useless to beat for quail in country
overgrown with weeds. How much, then
does it behoove farmers to make some pro-
lection for so useful bird, when they are
unable to provide for themselves, and are be-
set on all sides by the snares and trap-guns
of the rascally pOacher.-American Agri-
culturiSt.

The PECULIAR Infanlr.

One day last week, says the Cleveland
Leader, a fugitive slave passed through Co
lumbus, who was almost as white as any one
in that city, He was about fifteen years Of
age, and was sent off by his own mother
tie daughter Of her naster!-to save him
from being torn from her to be carried south
for market! A father holds his oCR
daughter as slaUe:-this daughter has a
son By her own half brother! and that son
was to be sent to New Orleaus for market,
and sent too, by his own grandfather! How
far below the grade of human nature must
that man be fallen, who boldly advocates
such a monstrous institution. Who is base
enough to shrink from the duty of opposing
the spread of such a system of Slavery, for
fear of being called an Abolitionist.

Simplicity ofnress.

Female loneliness never appears to so
good an advantage as when set off with sim
plicity of dress. No artist ever decks his
angels with towering feathers and gaudy
jewelry; and our dear human angels, ifthey
would make their title good to that name,
should carefully avoid ornaments which
properly belong to Indian squaws and Af-
rican princesses. These tinselries may serve
to give effect on or upon a ball room floor,
but in daily life there is no substitute for
the charm of simplicity. A vulgar taste is
not to be disguised by gold and diamonds.
The absence of true taste and real refine
ment or delicacy cannot be compensated for
by the possession of great beauty or the
most princely fortune.

MASONIC Burial at Sea.

The New Orleans Picayuae gives the
following touching description of the burial
at sea of Mr.. Jos. Waterman, who died on
the steamer Empire City:
The sun was about sinking beneath the
wayc when the body was placed in charge
of such of the fraternity as were on board
to be buried by them with the last sad rites
peculiar to the institution.
The remains which had been covered by
the United tates.fag, were laid upon a
plank at the stern of the steamer, and as
the ships bell began to toll the intervals,
the brethren formed a circle around the
corpse, when the Masonic burial service was
beautifully delivered by Past Master J. E.
Elliott, of New York, who presided as Mas
ter upon this occasion. The ceremony,
beautifully impressive at all times, was re-
markably so upon this occasion; and when
the Worshipful Brother pronounced the
words ave therefore, commit the body Of
our departed brother to the great deep; his
memory shall remain engraven on the tab
lets of our hearts, while his spirit shall re-
turn to God who gave it" single plunge
was heard, and the diseased had gone to
his last long home, accompanied by the
last fond words of "Alas, my brothers" from
those of the Fraternity who formed the bro
ken chain upon the quarterback of the
steamer.

Hay Covers.


A good set of hay covers viii save twice
their cost every season, and with due care
will last dozen years. Two months from
now farmers in the vineity of New York
will be cutting their hay crop, and not one
id ten has such thing as cover for his
hay-coeks by which he can effectually secure
his hay from a sudden shower. Now is
the time to get hay covers ready. Do you
know how? Perhaps not. Then we viii
make this little item worth more to you
than the price Of THE TRIBUNE for whole
year. Buy piece of stout, coarse, brown
cotton sheeting, yard wide or more, and
tack it upon the sunny side Of board fence
or broadside of the barn, and paint it with
the following composition: Linseed oil, 1
gallon; beeswax, 2 pounds-boiled togeth-
en- to which add quart of Japan varnish.
Dry two days and cut the the cloth into
squares, and to each corner attach round
stone of six or eight ounces weight sewed
in BAG, fastened to the cloth by a string
a few inches long, in such manner that the
weights can be easily taken off for eonyen-
ience in packing away the covers out of use.
One of these thrown over q cock of hay
hastily tumbled together, viii keep quite dry
in case of sudden shower A large cover
for wagon-load or unfinished stack Of hay
or grain will be found one of the most use
full implements on the farm. It is surpris-
ing that every man who hauls hay to mar
ket does not keep such useful thing.-M

what a woman Can't have.

In these days women distribute rifles,
make speeches in public meetings, get up
mobs and wear high boots, it is some con
ISOLATION to mankind to know that there are
still a few pleasures left TO his exclusive en-
joyment. One of these is described by a
highly poetical young man in the following
rhapsody:
'She may surpass man IN the accomplish
ments, and be called ''angel," but one at
tainmeut is beyond her -unattaina-
bic, yet her Nemesis-she can't shave =
Never can she know the felicity of that op-
Grafton, nor the satisfactory sensation of be-
ing shaved. Let her have her amorous
haberdasher, and kids, and perfumed eurls,
and sigh by intervals; she can never know
the supreme happiness, the delieiousness of
leaning back in the soft, cushioned chair,
the convenient rest for the feet the snowy
napkin about the throat, a fine white lather
being gently taken of, the cool touch of
the razor, the delicacy of the BARRIERS hand,
the gentle titilation of the zig6matieal mus
eles; these are all feelings she is necessari-
ly stranger to. Woman's rights conven-
tons cannot reach the subject; they may
wear the breeches, but they can't come the
whiskers."
In short, she may always have clean
and beautiful face, but can't sketch the bar

A Gloomy bur Truthful picture.


We love and admire Kentucky. The
natural character Of her people IS frank,
manly and generous. The history Of her
early settlement is a history Of heroism and
manly achievement. The pioneers Of ken
tucky were brave and honest. They hasSs
left to their children an honorable name1
and glorious inheritance. cc1 l
But in an evil hour, they permitted1a few
of their fellow-eitizens to introduee into the
green hills of the West class Of Degraded
and ignorant labOrers, to employ them in
competition with their poorer neighbors. In
a new country labor is scarce. The owner
of slaves could plant more corn and tebae2
co than the man who had only his owai
honest hands to rely upon. Tho farmer
who worded men without paying theIr,a
could undersell the farmer who had to pay
for help. Gradually the poor man bsg
come discouraged and dissatisfied Gradu-
ally the rich man became richer and moro
avsricious. The poor man wanted schools
for his children. Slavery vantedn no schoolsii
He wanted the societyOf his equals. SIaye-j
ry despised him because he owned no slaves.
The Shareholders wife refused to associate
with the laborer's wife. The planters
daughter refused the address of the laborer's
son and the visitSof the laborer's dauehter.s
except in some instances, and then the plan
ter grieved with bitter Iamentatiou and sad
ness to see bis own children fall into the,
arms Of that Ignorance his peculiar institu-i
ton had created. The noble quality Of
early Kentucky life has disappeared So
ciety is divided into classes, with bitter prej-z
udices and opposing interests. The slaves
holder opposes the slave, the slave despises
the poor white man. except where each sees
that the system makes them both slaves to
the same master, the poor white man re-
CARDS both as his. natural enemies-what IS
the consequence of this unhappy and un-l
natural diyisionl 3s

dulating surface of Kentucky, and you be-

There are. indeed professions of negroess

of a bloody and barbarous despotisrn march
southwest to the music of their own chains.
Their feet keep time to the death march
of their withered hopes, of their murdered
Joys, of their despairing memories. Torn
from their families and served forever from.
the scenes of their humble pleasures and
early associations, with hopes of re-union,
they go to the pestiferous swamps and dense
forests of the southwest, to work in gangs
beneath the lash of the brutal overseer, TIL

suferings.

8ow 70 Protect GROWING corn.

The Granite Farmer gives some capital
advice as how to make seed corn come
up-how to make the plants grow-how to
keep the hens from scratching up the seed
how to prevent the crows from pulling
up his plant Hear what TIE Former
says:
''The most SIRE way to have the seed
come up,' and do we'll, is first to manure
and prepare the ground well-plsnt good
seed, clean as it came from the cob. This
never fails with me; all variations from this
hare failed under different circumstances.
"To preUent the seed being destroyed By
the hens.--The pig, with full belly, will
never root around; the hen with full crop,
viii not scratch the ground. Therefore
when my hens are disposed to scratch, I
call them to the barn, and give them as
much corn as they will eat, for which they
always sing to me a merry tune, and lay
whole hatful of eggs.
$40 preUent crol0s from pulling cora
l scatter corn in the field broadcast, which
they feed upon and leave the seed. If I
have too much company for my hberality,
soak the corn in stryehnia and hot water.
Last spring, after scattering half q bushel Of
corn soaked in this way, l picked up forty
two dead crows, and how many more went
off feeling kind o SICK I am not able 70
state.
"W5rs and grub lOoruas are more difficult
customers to deal with--for any poison used
for their destruction, is always absorbed by
the soil which is sure protection to them.
I have never found sure remedy for these
pests; and can only secure my seed BY
planting enough for ther wants and mine
too, and if they get more than their share,
I plant new hills few inches from the old
ones thus destroyed, and thin out at second
hoeing,' -. II.

| know Mr.. Putnam too well to think he
would seek to dishonor you."
"But father, he has no business to make
a servant out of me, and can't stand it,
He owes me an apology"
Ny father was mild, quiet man, and
though kind to his childred, we never dare
disobey him. ] knew by the expression of
his eye that | need not hope for no indul-
gence nor sympathy with my silly pride.
Richard said he, ''you must return to
your place, apologize to Mr.. Pullman, and in
future make up your mind to obey his com
mands, or You arc unworthy to be my son.
1 stepped silently into the carriage, with
all nv Howard dignity and spirit blown to
the four winds. We drove rapidly to the
store, and found Mr.. Putnam had not left,
and that the bundle remained where 1 had
laid it. 1 made my apology while my faith
er stood by, 50 that all was right; and af-
ter bidding him good night, took the pack
age under my arm, delivered it as directed,
and reached my lodging place wiser and
less naughty boy than L left it.
Ny employer took no notice of the affair,
and during the six years l remained with
him as clerk, found me willing and obedi-
ent, and when l reached twenty two, I had
the happiness of seeing, "Putman q How
arc" in conspicuous letters, on the new sign
in front of the store.
81 suppose he made you partner to get
hold of the money Grandma left you" )" said
Charley.
mo, my boy, that money was lost before
l reached twenty, and was left with moth
ing but Howard industry and enterprise to
depend upon"
'If 1 was sure of being as lucky as you
have been l would not mind doing any
thing"
"Well, Charles, that bundle was the cor
ner stone of my fortune. Ny father laid it
when he took down my pride by carrying
me back to my employer. If had been
permitted to have my own way, | should
have become an idle, worthless, purse-proud
boy, and poor man. Asit is, the carrying
Of that bundle was the making of me both
in mind and estate. 1t is contemplate
cowardice, and silly pride, that makes a
boy refuse to use his active limbs in service
becoming his years and knowledge. Instead
of being degraded by carrying bundle, or
being sent on triaing errand, make the
employment respectable by doing it well,
and when you are capable of more respon-
sible business, it will be given you. That
freestone palace was never built by boy
too proud to carry bundle"
"Why, Uncle, how do you know?"
"BeGauseit is owned and inhabited by
"little Bill" the boy who used to sweep Mr..
Putman's store, and that large church was
built by a legacy left by, ,Joe,' the errand
boy. They became rich and honorable,
while many of the proud lads who used to
look upon them with disdain, are living in
poverty, or have received the reward of
idle dissipation.
"Well, we are at home, Charley; tell
your mother if she wants you to be an
honorable or useful man, to send you back
to Mr.. Harley's. Have that Howard spunk'
taken down as quickly as possible, if you
would avoid the fate of too many rich mems

~ A very curious instance of confus-
ion has taken place in a family in Albany
A mother and her daughter were both con
fined on the same day, each having little
son. In the hustle of the moment, both
babies were placed in one cradle, and to
the confusion of the mothers, when the
youngsters were taken from the cradle, they
were unable to tell which was the mothers
and which was the daughters-a matter
which, Of course, must ever remain mys-
terry. The family is in great distress over
the affair. .........
This may bother the mothers now; but
what will the boys do when they grow up
each unable to tell whether he is himself
his uncle or his nephew.
