ORIGIN or rug PESSY posrAGE SYSTEM
A traveller sauntering through the Lake
districts some years ago, arrived alta small
public house just as tho postman stopped to
deliver letter. y young girl came out to
receive it, She took IL in her her hand and
turned it oVcthnd over. and asked the charge
Il was large sum-no less than shilling.
Signing heavily she observed that it came
from her brother, but that she was too poor
to take it in, and she returned it to the
postman accordingly. The traveller was q
man Of kindness rs we'll as observation he
offered to pay the postage himself, and, in
spite Of more reluctance on the girls part
than he could well understand, he did pay
it, and gave her the letter. No sooner
however, was tho postmans back turned
than she confessed that the proceeding had
been concerted between her brother and her
self, that the letter was empty, that certain
signs On the direction conveyed oil that she
wanted to know, anu that US neither of them
could afford to pay postage, they had dc
vlsed this method Of frankins the intelligence
desired. The traveller pursued his journey
and as he ploddcd over the Cumberland falls
he unused upon the badness ofa system which
drove people to such such straits for means
Of correspondence, and defeated its own OBJ
jcct all the time. With most men sucl
musings would have ended before the clos
Of the hour, but I" this mans name wa
Rowland Hill, and It was from this inciden
and these reflections, that the whole schem
of penny postage was derived"

COOPERATION or THE WIFE. There is
much good sense and truth in the remark Of
modern author, that no man ever prosper
ed in the world without the cooperation of
his wife. If shc unitcs in mutual endeavors
or rewards his labor with an cndearing smile
with what confidence will he resort TO his
merchandise or his farm, fly over ,nis, sail
over seas, meet difficulty and encounter dan.
ger, ifhc knows that he is no, spending hi.
strength in vain, but that ms labor will be
rewarded by the sweets Of home. Solitude
aud disappointment enter the history of cv-
cry mans life; and he has but half provided
for his voyage, who finds but an associate
for happy hours, while for months of dark.
ucss and distress no sympathiEins partner is
prepared.

Gas TAR lloRTIcrLruRE. From Galigna-

Is likely to be Of great advantage to agrieul-

SOcicty at Claremont. Francs. a gardiner.
whose frame, and hot house required paint
Ing, decided to make them b'des, as likely
to attract the heat better. and from prln
eiplc OF economy he made use OF gas Tar, in-
stead of black paint. The work was per-
formed during the winter, and ON the ap
prOaeh offspring, the gardiner was ,u;prIsed
tn find that the spid,rs and insccs which
usually infested the place had disappeared
and also that vine, which for the ast two
years had 50 fallen OF that he had intended
to replace it for another, had acquired fresh
force and vigOr, and gave every sign Of pro-
dueiusa large crop Of grapes. lie after

suits All the caterpillers and other insects
completely disappeared. Ii is said that sim.

vineyards in the Giroude, with similar re
suits. We commend these facts to Ameri

DESTROY YOUR Wrrps. II is curious
sight to see farmers 6gh,ing weeds all through
the spring and summer, and then letting oil
that escape go to seed and spread their mis-
chief throughout the fall! Look at any OF
our New England corn fields or potato
patches in September, and 10! what choice
assortment Of pig weeds, beggar lice, and
other of the weed tribe, aaunt their seed
pods to the breeze, ready for any amount Of
mischief in the spring ~.
Even our gardens, wherein, if anywhere,
an ounce Of prevention is worth pound of
cure, are usually left to mature wilderness
OF weeds every season, and not blow struck
to remedy the matter, when blows would be
worth striking 1t is true, some very pru.
dent proprietor may spend an hour or two
pulling up dock OF burdOcks, but instead Of
extcrminating them by fire and iaggots, he
throws them into the highway, where hooi
and wheel thrash them out, and the first
wlnd or rain II sure l. scatter them broad
east over all the region round, and so next
year he has all his work to do over again.
Now, we hold that no good farmer or
gardener will ever let weed go to seed in
his domain. Have them out! hoe them out
out with them ut any cost ! The barn.
yard and muck heap will be glad OF them
and when secured green, they are worth
their weight in any kind of manure, hardly
excepting guano. Bnt when the seeds are
ripe, then nothing but fire should b, their
portion. There is an old story of u race of
beings who were doomed us u punishment,
to pour water in seivc till it should be full.
Let each farmer sec to it, that the selve
through which daily meal comes has no
tares in its bottom.-LiJe Illustrated.
