Adventure of "a COxcOmb ia the

A good story is told at the expense ofa sales

marrying a fortune.
About three weeks ago, the daughter OF a
wealthy farmer, residing short distance back
Of Covington, in little town on the Kentucky
Central railroad came to the city to spend a

had not seen for some time. The girls had

ADVICE TO YoUNG MEN.---A lady wri er who
IS evidently "booked up" gives young men the
following good advice: Don't believe any wo-
man to be an angel. Ifyou feel any symptoms
Of that disease, take dose Of sage tea andygo
to bed--it is as much malady ,as the small
pox, and it is your business to get over it tas
soon as possible. An angel, indeed! If you
don't find out pretty soon that she lacks con
siderably more than the wings. we are mistak-
en-. Don't conclude to marry any creature in a
belt or ribbon or velvet rosettes, without asking
your sisters advice. Depend upon it one wo-
man can read another better in five minutes
than you can in five years. 'aiE st 81 .4.

A Centre Shot.

In late number of the Springfield, (Tenn.) Spectator, we find a very ex- cellent article from which we make the following extract
 "Tbe man whose ancestors for ages past scratched a subsistence out of the soil with the old-fashioned plow. with it's clum- sy wooden mouIdboard. not knowing the superior excellence of the latter styles ol steel blows, contents himself with the same instrument. and by much hard labor for himself and horse succeeds in pro- duclng barely enough to keep starvation at bay PooR RICHARD, whose sage maxilns are regarded with universa favor, has said:
 s' He that by the blow would thrive.
 Must either HOLD himself or DRlvE!"
 But Franklin did not live in an age when horses were guided by lines. and blows were driven by steam and all though he may have extracted the light ming from the storm cloud, and shown himself a philosopher and a statesman, yet the time has come when the verlest child regards the above quoted sentiment as d fossil of StoW age. And yet there are men living to-day in the practice ol systems of agriculture almost as absurd and ridiculous as that which requires one man 10 hold the blow and another to drive the horse.a These old. improbable sys- tems are destined 6nallvto give way be- fore the onward march of improvement ; but without some concerted cooperation, long years must intervene before thls re- sult is accomplished
 !" Agricultural Societies should be form- ed in every county of every State in the Union, where, by unity of action, and n- terchange of thought, and exchange ot experience and observation, those inter- esled in the progress of systems of profit able cultivation of the soIl, can so assist one another that our fertile bills, and plains, and valleys may be made to pro duce a hundred fold more of earth 5 treasures. and even ' the wilderness and solitary places be made to rejoice and blossom as the rose.

 There was Simon Magnus. Simon Barionay and Simon Peter; but of all the Simons in the Scriptures. there is no Si- mon like unto that Simon that lived down by the sea shore, and he was a tanner.N

Art of Milking.

The art of milking IS not taught in a hurry. IL requires long practice to mik properly, and therefore all the young peo- pie on farm oughl to be shown how tue labor should be done. It IS quite impor- ,ant that this branch of the dairy should be particularly attended to, for good milker obtains at least quart more from the same cow than poor mIlker The first lesson to be taugh, to young people is genleness and kindness to tbe COW. They need never be treated harshly in case he business IS properly, commenced Cows that have been careSsed and unl- formly we'll treated are fond oI having milk drawn from the udder al the regular time of milking, for Il gives them relief from the dislension of the mllk ducts, Let young people be put to milking the farrow COWS first, or such as are 10 be soon dried, and there the loss from milking will be less injurious; the hand should extend to the extremity of the teats. for the milk is then drawn easier They should be taught to milk as rapidly as possible. More milk IS always obtained by rapid mixer than slow one. They should, therefore. be taught to think of nothing else while milking and no con versation must be permitted In the milk yard. They should si, close up to the cow, and rest lhe left arm gently agalnst her shank Then If she raises her foot on account of pain occasioned by soreness of the teats, the nearer the mixer sits to her. and the harder he presses his arm agaInst her leg, the less risk will he run of being injured Cows may be taught to give down their milk at once, and they may be taught to hold il long time The best way to mllk is to milk quick, and not use the COW to a long stripping or after stripping.
