THE JOINT-WORM.

We are indebted to intelligent friend for
bringing to our notice the existence of this most
formidable evil in the present wheat crop. Ifyou
will take stalk of wheat and split it open with
knife blade near the second and third joints from
the root, you will fnda yellowish glossy worm
about the fourth of an inch in length, which is
manifestly doing great injury to the wheat. Our
friend says that he has been watching its progress
for month past. At first there were but few,
but these were transformed into small four wing
ed fly and cut their way out through the side OF
the stalk All the wheat that was thus early at
tackled was killed to the very root, which in many
instances will account for the scarceness of the
crop. The worm maggot has multiplied very
rapidly Of late, so that in this vicinity scarcely
stalk can be found without several They are
manifestly doing much injury to the wheat crop,
and it is much to be feared that late wheat will be
cut very short by them.
An account viii be found of this phenomenon
in the Patent Office (AgriculturaD report for the
year 1854, under the name of the Joint-W orm.-

"You have heard" said youth to his sweetheart
who stood,
While hesa on a corn sheaf at daylights decline;
"You have heard of the Danish boys whistle CT

I wish that that Danish boy whistle were mine
"And what would you do with it? tell me, she SAID
While an arch smile played over her beautiful face.
81 would blow it," he answered, "and then my
fair maid
Would fly to my side, and would here take her
place"
s1s that all you wish it for That may be yours,
Without any magic" the fair maiden cried;
ga favor so slight ones good nature secures
And she playfully seated herself by his side
81 would blow it again, said the youth, ''and the
Would work so that not even Modesty's cheek
Would be able to keep from my neck her hne
arm!
She smiled and she laid her soft hands round his
neck.
"Yet once more would blow, and the music divine
Would bring me- the third time, an exquisite bliss
She would lay her fair check to this brown one OF
mine
And her lips, stealing past it, would give me kiss
The maiden laughed out in her innocent glec-
"What fool of yourself with the whistle you'd
make.
For only consider, how foolish 'twOuld be,
To sit there and whistle for-what you might take"

MEASURING HER SHARE.

There is new town in the Northwest called
Barton, CONTRACTED of Bcartown.) At this point
post Office has been established; the route ex-
tends some distance beyond, and there are several
Offices further on. Soon after the establishment
of the Office at Barton, the POstmasters beyond be-
gan to be troubled by strange irregularity in the
mails This week, one thing would be missing;
the next some other package would be non est;
and quite often letters for b. would have to be
sent back; this state of affairs became unendura-
ble and agent Hall sent on to investigate the
matter. Ho went straight to Barton, where he
found the post office III the back room of a little
grocery. 1T was about time for the mail to arrive,
and ne took seat IN the grocery, where a plump
and good natured woman, well IN years and posses
sed ofa "rich brogue,' attended behind the coun-
ter, dealing out small quantities of beer, cheese,
cakes, peanuts etc, to company Of loungers, who
seemed to wait for some event.
Hall bought quantity of peanuts and treated
the crowd TO beer, by which he succeeded in re-
moving all suspicious which his decent garb had
created against him. Soon the stage drove up and
the mail bag was thrown out, and the lady picked
1t up and retreated to the back room, followed by
the crowd-including Hall, the agent
After opening the bag, and turning its contents
on the floor, the postmistress produced box, and
deliberately proceeded to measure out peck of
miscellaneous matter from the pile on the floor
Having done this she commenced returning the
rest, when Hall found his tongue.
"Why, what ere you doing there?" he contrived
TO stammer out
"lndade," said the postmistress, looking up,
otis changing the mails that am"
"But how do You know that you get the right
matter? Why don't you look it over, and select
your own"
"Faith an its FOOLS job you'd be after havin'
me dc" replied her Iadyship. Il can't read niver
blissed bit of ritin', and when my son Jim (he's
had school larnin') isn't here, just measure out
