Old Governor l., of Vermont, was
one of the most inveterate jokers of the
early times in which he figured. An an
ecdote is told of him, which has never
been related in print, and never can be,
perhaps, with much effect, but we will
try it. One Fall, as he was returning
from the Legislature on horseback, as
usual at that day, he was hailed from a
house by garrulous old maid, who had
often annoyed him with questions respec-
ting public affairs.
"Well, Governor" said she, coming
out towards the road, "what new laws
have you passed at Montpelier, this
time?"
"WeIl, one rather singular law, among
the rest" he replied.
"Dew tell! Now, what is it, Cover
nor?" asked the excited querist.
"Why, that the woman in each town,
who has the smallest mouth, shall be
warranted husband"
"Why, what p said she, drawing up
her mouth to the smallest compass, "what
queer curios Tor that is %
Eyes, but we have passed another that
beats that-the woman who has the lar
gest mouth, is to have two husbands"
"Why, whatP' exclaimed the old
maid, instantly relaxing her mouth. and
stretching it wider at every syllable;
"what a remarkable law that is-when
does it come in force, Governor ?"
At this, the Governor put spurs to his
horse, and vanished.

Hungarian Grass will Kill June Grass.

Eos. PRAIRIE FARMER = About the
first of last June, l plewed up in my
back yard, small patch of june grass,
with common stirring plow, and, as the
grass was Of rank growth, the roots run
ming deep into the ground, l was COM
PEELED to cut the sods from six to eight
inches deep, and could, therefore, only
turn them on edge. l then left the ground
until about the 9Th or 9th Of July, when
/ sowed, as near as could Judge, at the
rate of half bushel to the acre of Hun
garian grass seed. / then narrowed the
ground faithfully, and turned the sods,
grass side down, with hoe, doing no
moro until after it was fully ripe, which
was about the LIST of October, when / ell
it and found not a vcstige of June grass
remaining. Judging from my limited
experience the past season, Hungarian
grass is, for killing june grass. far supe-
rior to anything l ever saw. l would
suggest sowing Immediately after plow-
ing, if the object was to exterminate grass
or weeds. Cattle and horses seem very
fond of the hay, eating it with greediness.
Our hay raised in the field was. from soma
cause, extremely dusty as to its real
value for feeding. when compared with
other hay, is question yet to be settled.
With respect, G. g. HowARD.

Cure FOR BRoxcHrTIs. following,
says the Scientific American. is not the
remedy of a retired physician, whose
sands of life have nearly run out" but
Of one of the cleyerest and most reliable
of our friends, who has tried it himself
and seen it tried on others, and has never
known it to fail in effecting permanent
and radical cure:
Take the common MULLEN leaves, after
having been properly dried, and use them
in clean new pipe, the same as smoking
tobacco. The patient will soon be able
to discover whether it affords relief, and
govern himself accordingly.

FARMER, SPARE THAT OwL.-Some one
writing to the London Times, puts in
sundry proverbial pleas in favor of an
owl. A prejudice exists against this I'M
calmly fowl, more, we fancy, on account
Of its unpleasant vocal characteristics and
dismal personal appearance, than from
any other cause; but when its useful
qualities are known, we are sure its life
will be regarded by agricuIturists as even
more sacred than that of the robin. The
writer in question, speaking of a destruc-
ton Of wheat by mice, which came under
his personal observation, says, "AIice, as
well as young rats, require vegetation and
water. At dusk they come out, and out
at the same time comes the owl. No doubt
owls were created by an an all-wise Pro-
violence, to keep these vermin under, as
the rock is for the destruction of the WIRE
worm, and the toad for slugs. If it were
not so. we should be eaten up. They
know, by instinct, how to go about their
calling, better than we do If the rock
and owl do pilfer little at times, when
pinched by hunger, the laborer must have
his hire and with all our sagacity We
cannot master them as they can.

TGREAT DISCOVERY OF THE AGE
INFORMANT TO
TOBACCO CHEWEUS,
Dr.. GUSTAV LINNARD'S
Taste Restorative TrOCheS,

The Great Substitute for Tobacco.
1t is a well known and incOntroyertable fact
that the use of Tobacco is the promoting cause
of many of the most severe
Mentat and Physical Disorders,
to which the race of man is subject, as careful
analysis and long and painful experience have
clearly proven that il contains certain narcotic
and poisonous properties most dangerous in their
effects, which by entering into the blood, de-
range the functions and operations of the heart,
causing many to suppose that organ to be seri-
ously diseased.
Tobacco affects also the entire nervous sys-
TEN, manifestins itself-as all who have ever
used the noxiOus weed will bear testimony-in
Lassitude, Nervous Irritability, Water Brash,
Dyspepsia, and many disorders of similar
character.
The Taste Restorative Troehts
are designed TO counteract these baneful iniu-
ences, and have proven completly successful in
in multitude OF cases, and wherever used
Being harmless in themselves, they exert ben
efcial effect upon the entire system, restoring
the Taste which has become vitiated or destroy
ed by great indulgence completely removingt the
irritation and tho accompanying tickling sensA-
ton of the Throat-which are always conse-
qucnt upon abstaining from the use of Tobac
CO, and by giving healthy tone to the Stom-
ach, invigorate the whole system.
Persons who are irretrievably undermining
their constitutions and shortening their lives,
should use these TrOches Immediately and throw
off the injurious and unpleasant habit of Tobac-
co Chewing.
These Troches or Lozenges are put up in a
convenient and portable form at the low price

SET OUT Fruit TREEs.-Not a day
should be lost by the farmer in setting
out his fruit trees. The present is the
most propitious time for attending to that
important work. May and June are fire.
quently warm months in Iowa; the sun
making havoc with trees that are set out
late. Several valuable varieties of apple
may be cultivated just as successfully in
Iowa, as in Michigan, Ohio and Nilsson
ri. That fact is established. A sound
discretion should be exercised in locating
the orchard, and in caring for the trees
afterwards; and Iowa will soon raise its
own apples Citizen.

A CHASTITY ExPERNENT.-Spirits Of
wine poured on to a teaspoonful of COM
mon salt in vial, we'll shaken, and then
put either on to lamp cotton or tow, and
ignited, will burn with peculiar colored
fame, giving out purely yellow rays.
This mysterious effect changes the ap-
pearance of all earthly objects. Coral
lips become livid hue; rosy cheeks turn
ghastly pale; red cap ribbons become
black; in fact. every thing appears DIFF
ferent from what it does by the white
light we are, familiar with; and of all
things. the human face undergoes the
greatest change. Very young children
should not be shown this experiment; for
though there will be laughing lips and
dazzling eyes, yet they are of such an
unearthly color, that old friends would
appear with new faces, and child would
scarcely know its own mamma.

MALES AND FExALEs.-The law of ma
ture fixing the numerical relation of the
sexes, is an everlasting testimony against
polygamy. The number of females born
is slightly greater by about four per cent.
than the males, but at twenty years Of
age they are nearly equal; at forty there
are more males than females; and at Sc
venty they are nearly equal again. The
mortality Of females between ten and for
ty is very great, and probably too much
increased by the confined and unnatural
life they lead.

INTERESTING ELECTRICAL EXPERIMENT.
Take sheet of coarse brown paper,
and after holding it before fire until it is
perfectly dry. fold it up in a long strip
of about two inches wide. The magnet
is now complete. To exhibit the attrac-
tive power, cut some strips of writing
paper about three inches long, and about
as wide as one of these lines; place them
upon the table, three or four together.
Now take the magnet, and draw it brisk
ly under the arm two or three times its
electro magnetism is instantly developed,
and becomes apparent when held over the
small strips of writing paper, vertically
by the wings of lightning.

Our friend Jones-the interchangeable

eyes, and talking tender things by moon
light, lately. A few evenings since, he
resolved to escrow his courage to the
sticking point" and make his destiny
secure! Accordingly, he fell on his knees
before the fair dulcinea, and made his
passion known. Much to his surprise,
she refused him. Jumping to his feet,
he informed her, in no choice terms, that
"therc were as good fish in the sea as
ever were caught" Judge of the exas-
peration of our worthy swain, when she
coolly replied" Yes, but they don't bite

SETTING Our CABBAGE PLANTs.-If
you have been provident enough to pro-

them out early this month. In the first
place, select suitable bed of deep loan,
manure it heavily, dig it up nicely to the
full depth Of the spade, being careful to
rake it well as the Spring progresses.
Then set out your plants about two feet
apart each way, keep them clean, and
