keeping to himshlf the full benefits OF 1t,
the most important elements enter, and do
my crop as much good as they possibly can
his own.
In conclusion we must state that NE heart
lily agree with Mr.. Tally in attributing many
of the blunders into which we have from
time to time fallen, to the Theoretical specu-
lations of those who have written for our edi-
fcation; but We think that he has fallen ln-
to the very error he SO properly conders in
others, and we recommend to him and to all
others, who would confer real benefit on
the farming interest, when they do write,
to be cautious and avoid new theoretical
spcculations and generalization OF principles,
and as far as practicable restrict themselves
to acts founded on experience. The intelli-
gent farmer, if guardful of his interest, will
place but little trust in theory and will be
slow to adopt views, in support of which
sound reason and carefully obtained expert
mental results cannot be adduced Systems
originating in hypothesis, though sublima.
ted and subtilized by sophistry, and clothed
in all the pomp of rhetoric, must sooner or
later, vanish before the radiance of expert
mental science. Yours truly

A HARD SToRY.-There is doctor in the
northwestern part of this consolidated city,
who is especially remarkable for being, as
women term it, "short and crusty." Aweek
or two since he was called to visit patient
who was laboring under severe attack OF
cheap whlskey.
"Well, doctor, I'm down, you sec-conl.
pletely Aoored-Pve got the tremendous de.
lirum, you know.''
"Tremens, you fool; where'd you get
your rum ?" queried the doctor.
GAIL over in spots-broke out promiscu'
ously, doctor"
"served you right. Where did you get
your rum %
"Father died of the same disease; took
hi1n under the short ribs and carried him
off bodily"
"Well, you've got to take something in-
mediately"
"You're trump, Doc-here, wife, I'll
take nip of old rye"
"Lie still, blockhead. Mrs. B., if your
husband should get worse before I return,
which I will in an hour, just give him
dose of that trunk strap, may be that'll fetch
him to sense of his folly"
. The doctor sailed out grandly, and within
an hour sailed in again, and found his friend
of the "tremendous delirium" in a terrible
condition, writhiug and struggling with pain.
His wife, female of the plain but Ignorant
school, came up and laying her hand upon
the doctors arm, said, "Doctor, gave him
the strap as you directed"
"Did you thrash him we'll ~
"Thrash him. exclaimed the astonished
woman; "no, cut the strap into hash and
made him swallow it!
"Oh Lord, DOCTOR" roared the victim, 81
swallowed the leather, but-but-"
"But what!"'
~ swallowed the whole strap, but I'm
dashed if could 60 the buckle"
The doctor administered two bread pills
and evaporated.

PIcKLED PoLL.-We found this anecdote
going about without any credit:
\ certain young lady, who was famous for
making good picked walnuts, and was very
fond of eating them, too, one season dlscov-
cred that her jars were emptied before she
had fairly tasted her favorite pickle. She
called her servants to account, but each one
denied having meddied with the jars, and
the good lady determined, if possible, to
find out the thief So she made another fine
lot of pickles, and placed them on the shelf
in the same store-room, keeping a daily watch
upon them. To her great surprise, she dis
covered no other than her pet parrot to be
the pilferer of her pickle jars. She caught
him hooking out the walnuts with his crook
ed beak, and in her anger, she dashed upon
him a pitcher Of hot water, which she
chanced to have in her hand.
Poor Poll was in sad plight, both il suffer-
ing and appearance his bright feathers all
fell out, and he was long in this naked con-
dition nursed by the pity of his forgiving
mistress. During this period of probation,
venerable friend of the lady, who was quite
bald, one day came to visit her. Poll wad
died quietly into the parlor, and climbing
upon the back of the old gentleman's chair,
seemed for some time to be intently exam
lining his bald head then, growing bolder,
be got upon his shoulder, and with his beak
upon the bald spot, cried:
