Planting Peas

As this Is the season when our adv friends
are planting their green peas and Irish DO
tatoes, we give them the following curious
experiment, which we take from the Agricul-
tnral Gazette. The writer says:
Some twelve months since I saw a letter
from a farmer stating the great success that
had attended an experiment the writer had
made in the previous season. 1t consisted in
inserting a pea in each potato set and plant
ing the potato in the usual way. The result,
he stated, was a large yield of peas, and q
splendid crop of potatoes but the most i'm
portant result was the entire freedom of the
potatoes so treated from any disease, while al
those D anted in the usual way in the same
field were extensively deteriorated- | was
led by this statement to try the experiment
on a small scale in my own garden this sea
son. | planted not quite halfa-peck, only
fifty sets, in six ranks, cutting a piece out 0
each, and putting a pea firmly in. The pc;
grew I'D and flourished well, and last weel
7 dug the potatoes. They were perfectly FIRE,
from the slightest faint or speck of disease
and very fine and large while in the sam
he'd close to them was another lot planted ii
the old style, nearly half Of which were rot

OIL the vile Deceivers!

See how the "lords" deceive poor trusting
and betrayed wives, and then brag about it:
P~eppergrass says, that if he stays out late
At night and wishes to avoid a scolding or
curtain lecture from Mrs. P, he generally
waits out till the 1--WE sma' hours ayont the
twal," when the anger Of his better half sub
sides into fears for his personal safety. He
goes out : on business" with a promise to be
home at nine. Half past nine Mrs. P. unea-
sy. ten aggravated, half past ten positively
enraged, and rehearses to herself an address
for P~eppergrass's especial ediication, filed
with cutting reproaches eleven, vague unea-
siness accompanied by ar indefinite fear that
something must have happened" half past
eleven, nervous apprehension-tears take the
place Of whitening glances, twelve o'clock un-
endurable suspense. If she only knew the
worst one O'Clock is completely worked up,
has the "conniptions," and is about going
off the handle, when Peppergrass arrives
throws herself into his arms, overjoyed tc
see him, as she was so fraid som accident
must have happened to him."

Advice 70 Husbands

Most Of the advice" afoat is written for
the benefit Of wives alone, but the following
from the New York Mirror, is to the other
side Of the house, and meets with our hearty
sanction :+s When your wife begins to scold,
let her have It out Put your feet up COST
ly before the fireplace, lOll back in your
chair, light. one Of your best cigars and lei
the storm rage on, say nothing, make no re-
ply 70 anything. Well, a little more advice,
II you please. Having placed yourself in that
position, reflect whether you deserve the thun.
der about your ears, and if SO (which is pro
baby the ease) put your feet gently down
cease your "lOlling," put out your cigar
kiss your little wife, and endeavor to be
better husband"

FlatterY.

This-what shall ! call itf--whether vice
or virtue, 1 shall not decide now, and there
fore leave It nameless-has grown to such
proficiency that it may almost be termed a
science. At least it has as much claim to it
as many other things that are termed "sci
entiic." And though all profess to despise
#, yet none are proof to its soft impeach-
ment. know that my own sex are said to
be especially vulnerable, and are never SO
delighted as when some beau is pouring
the delicious poison into her wellpleased ear.
That they win complacently drink in the full
some adulation, whether it be in the CON-
m~on-place comparisons of roses and lilies"
or in the holder metaphors of "angels and
bright winged cherubic hosts that gladden.
the sabbath Of the skies with seraph muse"
/ will not pretend to deny that Woman is
susceptible to the soft impeachment but If
there is any eUil in it, it belongs to the hol-
low-hearted deceiver, and not to his innocent
victim. But we have never yet seen the
man who was able to rise superior to its
charms, or who did not covet it, in some good
degree. To it many Of the great men of earth
are indebted for all the fame and celebrity
they have in the world. Take away from
many of our would-be Statesmen the soft
coined words Of flattery with which they
have been beslavered by a party press, and
they would at once dwindle into the merest
pigmies imaginable. They feel the necessity
of thus being fattered and bolstered up, and
they court it, too and are as mad as March
Hares" If they do not receive it.
We have never yet seen the man, Cor wo-
man either) whom we believed could speak
truly and say
az would not hatter Neptune for his trident;
Or Jove for his power to thunder"
Truth is, we all love to be praised (call il
Aattery, if you chOOse,) and we recognize the
priaciple-"I tickle you, and you tickle me-"
But is it righFf A certain degree of it is
every day sanctioned by the usages Of socie-
ty, under the euphonious title of politeness.
The laws of hospitality require a certain
amount Of attention to all guests, and that
we like other persons better, is no reason
why we should carry our frankness SO far as
to offend by prOclaiming it aloud Say what
we please about fattery, a certain degree is
necessary to lubricate the jarring wheels Of
society as now organized Spenser asked
long ago,
g Who would care to do brave deed,
Or strive in virtue others to excel,
Hnone should yield him his deserved need,
Due praise, that is the spur of doing we'll"
