Coon HUMoR.-Keep in good humor. 1t
is not great calamities that embtter existence;
1t is the petty vexaions, small jeaIousies, the lit
lie dlsaPPointments, the minor mseries, that
make the heart heavy and the temper sour
Don't let them. Anger is pure waste of vi
talty; it is always foolish, and always disgrace
iu, except in some very rare cases, when it is
kindled by seeing wrong done to another; and
even that noble rage seldom mends the matter.
Keep in good humor.
No man does hls best except when be is
cheerful. A light heart makes nimbe hands,
and keeps the mind fair and alert. No misior-
tune is SO great as one that sourS the temper
Until cheerfulness is lost, nothing is lost -
Keep in good humor
The company of good humored man is a
perpetual feast; he is welcomed everywhere
eyes glsten at his approach, aud difficulties
vanish IN his presence. Franklin's indomia-
Die good humor did as much for his country in
the old Congress as Adams ire, or Jefftrson's
wisdom; he clothed wisdom with smiles, and
softPned contentious minds into acquescence.
Keep in good humor!
A good conscience, sound stomach, clear
skin are the elements of good humor! Get
them, and-be sure to keep in good humor

GOLD HUNDRED"

CAN you find tomb in the land where seal

they were grey old men they had heard or
sung "Old Hundred" Sinner and saint have
joined with the endless congregations where it

The dear little children looking with won

sweet young girl, whose tombstone told of six
teen summers, she whose pure innocent face
haunted you with its beauty, loved cold Hun

seemed communlng with the Ianges who were
soon TO claim her. He whose manhood was
devoted to the service Of God, and he who with
the faltering step ascended She pulpit steps with
the white hand over the aborng breast, loved
"Old Hundred
And though sometimes his lips only move,

the holy melody was sounding. The dear white

WE REAR NO wAR-oEFYlNo FLAG.
By R. STORY.

We rear no war-defying flag,
Though armed for battle STILL
The feeble, if he like, may brag-
The powerful never will.
The flag we rear in every breeze,
Float where it may, or when,
Waves forth a signal o'er the seas
Of 'Peace, goodwill to men!''
For arms, we wait across the waves
The fruits of every cline;
For DEATH the truth that cheers and saves;
What mission more sublime
For flames, we send the lights afar
Outllashed from press and peni
And for the slogans used in war,
Cry-"Peace, goodwill to men %
But, are there states who never cease
To hate or envy ours7
And who esteem our wish for peace
As proof Of waning powers
Let them but dare the trial High
Shall wave our war-fag then,
And wo to those who change our cry
OF EPeace, goodwill to menl'

May thou month of rosy beauty
Month when pleasure IS duty;
Month of maids that milk the kline
Bosom rich and breath divine;
Month of bees, and month of flowers;
Month OF blossom-laden bowersi
Month of little hands with daisies,
Lovers love, and poets praises;
Oh, thou merry month complete
Mayl-thy very name is sweet!
May was maid in oIden times,
And is still in Scottish rhymes;
Mays the blooming hawthorn bough;
Mays the month that's laughing now.
l no sooner write the word,
Than it seems as though it heard,
And looks up and laughs at me,
Like sweet face, rosily;
Like an actual color bright,
Flushing from the papers white;
Like bride that knows her power.
Startled in a summer bower.
II the rains that 10 MS wrong,
Come 10 Keep the winter long,
And deny rs thy sweet looks,
can love thee, sweet in books
Love thee in the poets pages,
Where they keep thee green for ages,
Love and read thee, as a lover
Reads his lady's letter over,
Breathing blessings on the art
Which comniagIes those that part.
There is Way II books forever,
May VIII part from Spencer never;
Nays in Milton-May's in Prior
Nays in Chaucer, Thomson, Dyer
Nays in all the Italian books;
She has old and modern hooks,
Where she sleeps with nymphs and elves
in happy places they call shelves,
And viii rise and dress your rooms
With drapery thick with blooms.
Come, ye rains, then, if you viii,
Nays at home, and with me still;
But come, rather thou, good weather!
And find as in the fields together.

CHINESE SUGAR CANE.

a COMMITTEE of the United States Agsicul-
tural Society, who recently met at Washing
ton, made a report upon the subject of Chinese
sugar cane, of which the following is synoP-
sis
1. The soil and geographical range the Chi
nese sugar cane, correspond nearly with those
Of Indian corn. 1t produces the best crop on
dry lands, but the most luxuriantly in rich bot
toms or moist loans.
2. 1T endures cold better than corn, and ex-
periences no autumna frosts. 1t will also with
stand excessive drought. Ripens its seed in
September in dry warm soils, in m any parts of
the New England States; at the extreme south
It may be planted as late as the 20Ih of June.
8. It's cost and culture are about the same as
indian corn.
4. Height of plant when fully grown varies
from six 10 eighteen feet, and stalks vary from
half an inch 10 two inches in diameter. The
weight of the entire crop when fully grown, ia
ken before drying, is from ten to forty tons
OF seed the amount reported from fifteen TO
sixty bushels.
,. During Inc early stages OF It's growth II
makes but little progress, so slow, indeed, as TO
have discouraged many cultivators; but the APP
proach of warm weather inparts 10 it a wonder
ful rapidity. The period of growth varies from
ninety to one hundred and twenty days.
6. The yield of juice was about 80 per cent.
The number of gallons required to make gal
lon of syrup varies from TO 10; in New Bruins
wick 10 10 one; in Indiana and Illinois, TO ].
I. A palatabIe bread was made from The
-four ground from the seed.
s. By accounts from all parts of the country
this plant is universally admitted TO be whole
some food for animals; all parts Of it being greed
lily devoured in green or dried state, by hor-
ses. cattle, sheep and swine, without injurious
effects; the latter, especially, fattening upon it
as we'll as upon corn.
9. Paper Of various qualities has been manu-
factured from the fbrous parts of the stalk, some
of which appears to be fitted Tor special use.

SALT FOR PLUM TREES.

1t is almost impossible TO cultivate any kind
of plums IN thIs climate, unless salt enter lIber
ally as an Ingredient upon the compost applied
TO them. When this article is used in coniunc-
ton with house ashes there appears rarely TO be
much difficulty in producing good and healthy
trees which ultimately prove highly productive
of fair and well developed fruit. When trees
set in situations in which application of
of compost is not feasible, or where it would
subject the operator TO considerable fatigue or
expense, salt, in lis crude state, may be appl-
ed; or it may be dissolved and poured around
the roots.
If plum trees were carefully washed down
once or twice year in whiskey ley and suppli-
ed with two or three quarts each of salt-care
being taken 10 retain the soil around :he roots
light and free from weeds, we should hear far
fewer complaints of want Of success in this de-
partment of pomOlogical enterprise. No fruit
commands ready sale or higher price
in the market. Good plumsareat present soscarce
as TO render them luxury, and those who have
valuable trees in good bearing are realizing q
heavy profit from them. Let those who have
trees profit by the above suggestion, they indi-
cate the only legitimate cures TO be pursued

RIGHT OF INNKEEPERS AND THEIR
GUESTS.

GUESl ..
The London papers report very lhteres.
TING case. which came before the Court OF
Ooeen's Bench, last moth, and which Is as
follows: --.
"The London action was brought by q
puest, against the innkeeper, for forcing him
down stairs, and the defendant pleaded, by
wsy Of justification, that the plaintiff would
not 90 down stairs to another part OF the Inn,
without being forced, and that If he had
not been 80 forced he would have continu-
ed on the stairs, to the annoyance OF other
guests.
The case came before the court, upon
demurrer to plea, and raised question as
to the right of an inpkeeper to use iorce In
removing guest FROM Une part OF his Inn to
another.
Mr.. Metcslf, the counsel on the part OF tho
plaintiff submitted that the allegations ID the
plea we're no justification OF the act complain
ed OF. inssmuch as they did not show that
the plaintiff was requested TO 90 down stairs.
Lord Campbell, without calling upon the
counsel on the other side, said be was OF opln-
ion that the defendant was entitled to Jndg-
ment. A guest was entitled to take his ease
in bis inn" bnt he had no right to any par
ticular chamber. The allegation in the plea
was, that he improperly planted himself on
the stairs, ard would not 60 down without ne
ing forced, and if that were proved, 1t clearly
obviated the necessity for making any re-
Quest to bin to 20 down stairs. MIR. JUS
tice Colerdge said the landlord could not
have turned the guest out Of his house, but
II the guest would not leave the stairs and 90
to the room which was provided Tor hun,
he was perfectly justified in forcing bim
down stairs He therefore thought the Jnsti-
tica,ion quite complete. MIR. Justice Eyre
also considered that guest had no right to
plant himself in any part of an inn be chose
1t was the duty of the inn-keeper TO provide
him with suitable accommodation, and when
be did 50, the guest must not ramhle about
in places which were let to other guests Of
used for other purposes. In his opinion, toe
justification was properly adapted to the
right Of the innkeeper in this particular case
Mr. Justice Crompton concurred with the
rest of the judges. From the form oil the plea
it must be assumed, he thought that tht
plaintiff was requested to 60 down stairs.
Thejudgment was, consequently, rendered
for the defendant; bot 1t will be seen that th'
doctrine that landlord or hotel-keeper MAJ
not arbitrarily turn a guest out of bis house
even when he is we'll, to say nothing OF hi
attempting to do so when be is sick, is entire
" sustained.
