shoes lying beside of the path, which appear

Lot us have little amusement at his expense,
said the student. "Suppose we hide these
shoes, and conceal ourselves in the bushes to
watch his perpexity when he cannot find them.

the instructor. "You are rich, and suppose
you put a silver dollar in the toe of each shoe
and then we will hide" The poor man fin
shed his work soon, and went to put on his
shoes You can imagine his surprise, when
he stopped down to take out pebble, as he
supposed, from the toe, and found it be a
hard dollar, and then his absolute perplcxity
and astonishment, when he found still anoth-

Children often have strange ideas, and with

TO puzzle the most learned aud orthodox.
little fellow, about four years Of age, whose
parents reside in the western part of the city,
knelt upon a chair yesterday afternoon, dur

his mother with the cry 80, mamma, come

She complied with bis request, and said,
"My son. that is hail.
''Hail;" asked he. "Woll, ma. where does
hail come ir,m;"
From Heaven, replied the mother. God
sends it.
"Well, tell me, ma, sull enquired the pre-
cocious juvenile, where does God get all the

from :"
"oh," replied the mother, "God makes

"Wcll, ma, ! wish he'd quit, don't you ?
said he, in tone that showed the earncstnes,
and heariiness cf hs desire.
The mother found that she could not max

Hun SIDE BARSs. ---Constructing barns
upon side hills is practice which is gaining
favor among the best farmers in this country.
Having cnco become acquainted with the ad-
vantages of such location, we are sure no
farmer would be willing to construct his
barns in any other manner, if this were prac-
tieable. The testimony of the Salley Farmer
on this subject is as follows 1.-The most con
venient arrangement for a stock barn is upon
n side hill, whore the hay and grain may be
carted in upon the upper story, and pitched
into the bays below. This arrangement saves
great amount Of labor in hauling the feed
for the stock. Another advantage of a side
hill barn is, the manure may be deposited in
a cellar below, whore the whole of the LIQUID
portion can be saved, and where the whole
can undergo u degree of fermentation before
it is exposed to the washing rains and the
weather outside. Upon the lower side, too,
the cellar can be approached with the team
and carts, and material added to the manure
heap to absorb the urine and add to the gen
eral stock, or TO render the whole easy OF nc.
cess for hauling away.
A barn thus arranged not only saves grea
amount of labor in hauling the hay, &c, il
stacking and feeding, but the quality is great
ly preserved by being housed at once after i
is cured Add to these advantages the still
more important oonsideration-the comfor
and thrift secured TO the animals in conso
quenee of the protection afforded from III,
storms of winter, and it will be found that n,
more profitable investment can be made con
neoted with the farm than in the construction
of suitable barn "-Homestead.
