The Barrister and the Witness

AT an asszes held during the past
year, both Judge and counsel had a deal
OF trouble TO make the timid witnesses
upon trial speak sufficiently loud to
be heard by the jury and it was posi-.
Die that the temper o: the counsel NAV
thereby have been turned from the even
tenor of its way. After this gentleman
had gone through the various stages of
bar pleading, and had coaxed, threatened
aud even bullied witnesses, there was
called into the box young ostler, who
appeared simplicity personfied.
Now, SIR said the counsel, in a tone
that would at any other time have been
denounced AS vuIgary loud, Il hope we
shall have no difficulty in making YOU
speak out

beloved out by the witness, in tones
which almost shook the building. and
would certainly have alarmed anv timid
or nervous lady.

Please zur, | cant speak any louder
SAID the astonished witness, attemptina
to speak louder than before, evidentlv
thinking the fault to be in his speakipo
too softly.
Pray have you been drinking this

now thoroughly lost the last Iemnant of
his temper.
Yes, znr,' was he reply.

Coffee, zur.'
And what did You have in your coffee,

OF the whole court-excepting only the

Agriculture.

OF all the sciences known to man that

ever, wonderfully changed. Soils and

a trtling cost how to obtain the fullest
advantage from the broad acres which
he tlIIs. This is the age of high farming;
the man who works as his grandfather
did Is laggard IN the race. Success in
agriculture can only now ID attained by
a skilI(ul adaptation of means to ends
Land must be dressed 10y the most eff.

soil sklIlfuiIy garnered. Labor, both
horse and manual, must be ecOnomised
by steam and, above all, as the grand
Key stone Of the arch. manure, carfulIy
selected, must be literally applied. This
question of nrsnuriug is Ear from being
understood even at the present moment
by the bulk Of the practical farmers of
this country; to the majority Of them the
usual ana ysis Of soil and fertilizers are so
many occult Jormuio. 1t is on all hands
admitted that to farm without manure

A Farmers Song.

We envy not the princely man,
In city or in town,
Who wonders whether pumpkin vines
Run up the hill or down;
We care not for his marble halls,
Nor yet his heaps of gold,
We would not own his sordid heart
For all his wealth thrice told.
We are the favored ones Of earth,
We breathe pure air each morn,
We sow-wc reap the golden grain
We gather in the corn;
We toll, we live on that we earn,
Aud more than this We do.
We hear of starving millions round,
And gladly feed them, too.
The lawyer lives on princely fees,
Yet drags weary life,
He never knows a peaceful hour
His atmosphere is strife,
The merchant thumbs his yard stick DER,
Grows haggard at his toll;
He's not the man God meant him for
Why don't he till the soil d!
The doctor plods through storm and cold, +,
Plods at his patients will;
When dead and gone he plods again
To get his lengthy bill.
The printer (bless his noble soul,)
He grnsps the mighty earth,
And stamps i, on our welcome sheet,
To cheer the farmers hearth.
We sing the honor of the plow,
And honor of the press
Two noble instruments of toll.
With each Il power to bless,
The bone and nerve of this fast age.
True wealth of human kind
One til! the ever generous earth,
The other tils the mind
