A Contented Farmer.

Once upon a time Frederick, King of Pru,
| sia, surnamed odd Fritz took a ride aud es-
pied an old farmer ploughing his acre By the
wayside, cheerily singing his melody.
You must be well off. old man., said the
king. Does this acre belong to you, on whi'h
you SO indusuiously labor?'
No. sir. replied the farmer. who knew not
that it was the king. Il am not so rich as
that plough for wages
How much do you get day?' asked the
king.
Eight groschen.' (about twenty cents. }
said the farmer.
This is not much replied the king. can
you get along with this?'
Get along and have something left
How is thatT
Tie farmer smiled and said:
We'll, if must tell you; two goschen are
for myself and wife; with two pay my old
debts; two lend away; aud two I give away
for the Lords sake
This is mystery which 1 cannot solve
replied the king.
Then Will solvo it for you,' said the far
mer.
Il have two old parents at home, who kept
me when was weak aud needed help. and
now that they are weak and need help, keep
them. This is debt towards which paw
two goschens dag. The third pair Of gos-
chen, which l lend away, spend for my chill
dren, that they may receive a christian in
struction This will come handy to me and
my wife when get old. With the last
two goschen l maintain two sick sisters, whom
l would not De compelled to keep-this give
for the Lords sake
The king, well pleased with the answer,
said:
'Bravely spoken. old man. Now I will
also give you something to guess. Have you
ever seen me beforeT
Never said the farmer
In less than FIVE minutes you shall see me
fifty times. and carry in your pocket ffty of
my hkenesses.'
This is a riddle which 1 cannot unravel,'
said the farmer.
Then will do it for you replied the
king.
Thursting his hand into his pocket and
counting him fifty bran-new gold pieces into
his hand, stamped with his royal likeness, he
said to the astcnished farmer, who knew not
what was coming.
The coin is genuine. for it also comes
from our Lord God. and am his paymaster.

Hints to yeang Ladies.

Don't make Con fdGRte of the first inter
esting young lady you meet. A woman can't
keep secret any more than a sieve can hold
water aud ten TO one she'll tell the whole sta
rv to the sister of the nice young man iD ques
ton. Then you can imagine the consequent
ces.
Don't sit down to your crochet work or EN-
broidery unless you have first mended that
hole in your stocking. No use crowding it
under the heel OF your shoe-rags, ike muir
der, will out; and they speak with terribly
loud voices aud at iuconvenient seasons some
times.
Don't undertake to write skim milk poetry
when you feel a little disposed toward enthu
s,ssm. Go and do kind action, or speak a
kind word to somebody. if the feeling must
have vent Depend up2n it, yo'l be better
satisfied after=sTd- -
Don't pretend to be angry because gentle
men have the audacity to look at you, when
you promenade Broadway in your best bonnet
What do you 60 there for, if not to be seen?
The more you affect Indignation the more Of
Tending wretches won't believe it
Don't pay thirty or forty dollars for the
aforesaid bonnet, and then complain that Pa
is in such narrow circumstances you can't
afford to give twenty five cents in charity.
Don't eat blue aud yellow candies, the
whole time, like mouse nibbling at pine
apple cheese, and then lament because you
haven't any appetite for dinner.
Don't ask beardless boy wha. school he
attends, aud whether he prefers kites or mar
bic, unless you are certain he is neither a
rising young lawyer nor member of the
Legislature.
Don't keep a gentleman waiting half an
hour. when he calls. while you put on lace
and ribbons, and arrange carls; he isn't fool
whatever you may think on the subject, and
probably form his own ideas upon your gi-
nal appearance.
Don't run and hide, like frightened rab-
bit, when gentleman puts his head into the
room where you are sweeping or dustiDg -
If there's anything to be ashamed of in the
business, why DO you do it?
Don't proclaim to the world that you can't
exist without six Paris bonnets in year.
and that life would be burden without au
opera box and dimor6s, and then wonder that
the young mer sheer off,
And above all, when some one does pro-
pose, don't say ne. when you mean yes. he
may take you at your word.
If you follow all these precepts. you may
one day succsed in getting married. and that
you know, is the summit OF all earthly ambi-
ton.

GE An old woman, who was in the habit

The Land Of Dreams.


The land of dreams is brighter
Than this dark land of ours,
Its cloudless> skies are lighter
And fairer are its flowers,
And hearts that earth would ssver.
In union close and sweet,
More fond and true than ever,
May there together meet.
The forms we most have cherished.
That in the cold grave sleep,
The beings that have perished
Rise from their slunber deep,
And joyfully they meet US,
With pleasure beaming eye,
And the voice with which they greet US,
Is the voice of days gone by.
The beggar with his wallet.
Has mine at his command,
And the slave upon his pallet.
Holds scepter in his hand.
In sleep the old man loves to dwell,
He seems boy to be,
The prisoner laugheth in his cell,
For be dreams that he is free.
From realms of cold reality,
How starts the unfettered mind,
Ranging as lawless through the sky
As blows the mountain wind,
Its home Of clay forsaking,
1t journeys wide and far,
Its boundless voyage taking
From distant star to star.

Taking the Census.

| In endeavoring to take the census for the

with such difficulties as well nigh to deprive
them of their own senses. The following col
loquy is said to have taken place in Canal
