LIVE WITHIN YOUR INCoME.

II man wishes to live happily and conten-
tedly, he should make a determination, under
every circumstance, to live within his income
It is not difficult matter to do when once a
strong will is exercised. Half the wretched-
ness and misery me meet with in this world is
occasioned by neglecting this golden rule of
life. How many anxious days and weary
nights have been passed; how many house
holds have been broken up; how many kind
hearts have been changed how many affec-
tionate dispositions have been soured from
men living beyond their means 1t is an old
8dage that wheE want comes in at the door,
love flies out at the window" and we are sor-
ry to say that it is only, in vast majority of
cases, too true. Human nature is not proof
against the sharp stings of ill-fortune. Too
often it changes the affectionate wife into the
household yirago, and the hurband into the
drunken sot. Economy can always be prac-
ticed without meanness, and man who lives
within his income is making for himself bed
of down for his declining years, and setting an
example to his children which will secure their
happiness and prosperity when he is dead and
gone.

Ripaning Tomatoes in Winter.

At a meeting Of the Rockfnrd (ll) Hort
Society last winter, Mr.. Ordway brought q
specimen of tomatoes red and yellow, small
and large, but all perfect, which had been
ripened in his cellar, according to tile follow
ing method:
If any one wishes to know how to keep
them fresh and good all winter, read the fol-
lowing recipe:
PLANT late in the season. and pull up the
vines in the fall, before they are injured by the
frost; fastcn a bag about the stock two inches
above tue root, then hang them up in the eel
lar by chord, tied around the vine above the
bag, and 81 the bag with moist dirt When
the bag is tied over the root, leave small hole
at the top, for the admission of water, which
should be used occasionally TO prevent the
roots becoming dry. The more light in the
cellar, The better. They should be hung clear
from the wall, on every side and where the
sun will strike them from window, if possible
and swing the vines up, with the roots upper
most.

The rennsx.xanls rusien rroises.

The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes:
The scheme proposed by the Democratic
State Committee in Pennsylvania to run an
Electoral ticket with pledges contingent on
the result. is openly rapnliated by the Breck-
inridge organization here, which distinctly re-
fuses all terms of alliance with the Douglas
faction. That proposition started with Messrs.
Bigler, Gilmore and other patriots of that Or
der, who are for any contrivance which promi-
ses the remotcst hope of success. They have
he'd to abandon it, however under threat OF
being prescribed.
The disturbance at the Breckenridge meet
ing at Philadelphia last night, and the indig-
nity offered to Gen Lane by the Douglas
r0wdies have intensified the hostility between
the divisions, so that they denounce each 9th
er in the most unmcasured terms.
Occasional" writes to Forn2y's Press as fol-
lows:
The miserable compromise hatched up by
your Central Committee on Monday last and
teegraphed to Washington, was undoubtedly
the work of Senator Bigier That iinmacu-
late patriot thinks that, by such a process be
may be returned to the United States Senate.
The proposition is received with drrision alike
by the friends Of Douglas and of Breckinridge.
The Douglas men here have already telegraph
ed to Pennsylvania that no such scheme will
be tolerated and Mr. Haldeman, the men,
ber of the National Committee from your
State, will be instructed to ask the Democrat
ic people to assemble in mass Convention TO
sift out the Sccetlers from the Electoral ticket.

Stock Pays all ths Time,

The heading of this article was the remark
of an old farmer the other day, while deploring
the fail of his wheat crop. One year the
wheat fails another year the corn fails, and
another year the oats fail bat, said he,
"Stock pays all the time" He also remarked
further that farmers who give their attention
to stock raising had gone right along, without
set-backs, aud had outstriped the grain-grow-
ers.
There is, no doubt, much truth in the old
mans remarks. Stock is the surest and most
remnnerative. But in thickly settled regions
If is better and safer to divide the interest
among the two. The two assist each other
and improve the farm. The waste straw, and
offal, of the grain crop, viii go far to feed the
stock, while the waste and offal of the stock
will go far toward fertilizing the soil and i'm
proving its capacity for productiveness, and
the strength of the soil is great desideratum
with the farmer. The soil is his mine of
wea' 'th-his treasure-his bank of deposit
He must keep it good, GA his paper is pro-
tested-his reputation as farmer dishonored.
1t is well to keep variety of stock, as well
as rai,e variety of grain crops. Tne gener-
al profits Of each year are thus kept nearly
equal. Farming may be worked c'oier, less
wasted, and more made.--&. LOUIS VaAey
Farmer.
