A MIDsUMMER MELODY,


Twas night in the dog days,
Aud all through the house,
Night providers were stirring
Fleas, bed.bugs and mouse.
The children, uneasy,
Sqnrmed this way and that
The bed bugs preferred them
Because they were fat.
But at dawn ON each insect
Lyons death powder fell;
Aud the rats and the mice, too,
Succumbcd to his Pill.
Lyons Powder will kill all insects. LYONS
Magnetic Pills are sure death to rats and mice
Sold everywhere. HgDINGroN \ Co Agents,

Words OF visdona.


Words of Wisdom.
There is capital article by Bulwer,
in Blacksoooa for May, on .The Man
agement of Money" It is @'an art" he
says, the first rule of which is-"Hor-
ror of debt
"Easy to keep out of debit Certainly
not. Nothing in life worth an effort is
easy"
Never be argued into beliving that
soul and honor do not run terrible
risk if you limp into life with the load
of a debt on your shoulders"
The next danger is-'Going security
for your friend.
Paste this in your hat:
81. Ncrer borro,1 achere there IS a
chance, holceuer remote, that .you may NOT
be able 10 repay.
"2. Neuer lend uhat you are not pre-
pared TO gire.
SO. Meier guarantee for another what
you cannot fulfil if the other should fail.
'sThen, ''whatever you have, be it lit
tie or much is your own. Rich or poor,
you start as a freeman, resolved to per-
severe. in your freedom, the noblest
condition of your being as a man.

Good Farming.

We are acquainted with farms of
twenty acres where the anual income is
not less than 81, 900 to Sc, 900, and with
farms of 100 acres where the anual cash
income, is scarcely twice as many dol
lars as the number of acres. A man on,
large farm can raise just as much corB
or wheat per acre as man On small
farm He ought not to feel obliged to
cultivate land merely because he owns
it. Herein lies the error. Like the
boy with the oranges, he attempts to
grasp too much, and loses profit or the
whole. Slight manuring and poor cul-
tivation, on an extensive breadth of
land, is like the management of the
merchant who builds large store, and
fills it with rods of shelves upon which
he places only few goods. He must
remain there and superintend it, and at
the call of every customer travel four
times, as far as he ought to, in handing
down the goods wanted; SO that his own
superintendent and the interest on the
capital united in the store and goods
exhaust all the income, and he grows
poorer md poorer, as each year rolls
away. While the farmer practices this
kind of economy, be laughs at the poor
merchant or manufacturer who is daily
oxhausting his means by it. The phrase
has passed into proyerb, "That we
undertake too much for our means,
and still there are few who do not err in
this respect. We forget the actual cost
of travel, blowing, narrowing, seeding,
cultivating, hoeing and harvesting twice
as much land as is necessary for a given
crop, and pursue course which five
minutes investigation will show US is
fatal to our pro6ts.-N e. Farmer.

Correct Speaking.

Correct Speaking.
We advise all young people to ac-
quire in early life the habit of using
good language, both in speaking and
writing, and to abandon, as early as
possible, any use of slang words and
phrases. The longer they live the
more difficult the acquisition of correct
language will be; and if the golden age
of youth, the proper season for the ac-
QUESTION of language, be passed in its
abuse, the unfortunate victim of neg
leeted education is, very properly,
doomed to talk slang for life. Money
is not necessary to procure this educa-
tion. Every man has it in his power.
lie has merely to use the language
which he hears, to form his taste from
the best speakers and poets of the coun-
try; to treasure up choice phrases in his
memory, and habituate himself to their
use, avoiding, at the same time, that
pedantic precision and bombast, which
shows rather the weakness of vain am
bition than the polish of an educated
mind.

A Gallant Exploit,

Mr. Andrew Boyle, of this county re-
Gently purchased forty FIVE head of cat
tie, principally from Mr.. G. w. Gregg,
for the purpose of conveying them to
the Eastern market. He shipped them
over the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
At Martinsburg, Va, he learned that
Gen. Banks was in great need of beef,
and resolved, Notwithstanding the coun
try was infested by guerrilla bands of
rebels, to run the risk of reaching Gen.
Banks encampment. The distance from
Martinsburg to Strasburgh is forty two
miles. Mr.. Boyle accomplished the
distance in double-quick time, and at
great personal and pecuniary hazard,
but safely delivered them to Gen. Banks.
He was rewarded for his daring in a
considerably enhanced price for the cat
tie, and besides, received the thanks OF
the General. Driving cattle to Vir-
ginia, at this time, is an adventure we
would not care to undertake. Circle

Tribute of q Foreigner to President
Lincoln,

Lincoln.
The following incident is told by the
Washington correspt ndent of the New
York Times:
"Three gentlemen were recently en-
gagged in conversation in front of one of
the principal hotels in this city, while
the Presidents carriage was passing
The President was the only occupant
One of the gentlemen, a foreigner OF
distinction aud cultivation, in manner
wholly involuntary, raised his hat and
remained uncovered until the carriage
passed by. You forget that you are
in republican America and not in Rus
sia,' said one referring to the marked
manner in which the person addressed
had saluted the executive. "Not at all,
sir; not at alll'' he replied. There is
the only living ruler [ sincerely reyer-
ence. | could not avoid showing the
feeling of which my heart is full, if /
would. He is patriot, a statesman, a
great hearted, honest man. You Amer :
leans reverence nothing in the present.
Your Washington had his traducers,
and few of his eotemporaries esteemed
him great man. Mr.. Crittenden, one
of your statesmen, says that Mr.. Lincoln
can place himself nearest to Washing
ton in the hearts of the people of this
country. I say to you that not alone
your posterity, but the posterity of all
the people who love honesty and revere
patriotism, will declare that the difficult
part which President Lincoln was
called in these times to perform, re-
quired the exercise eff as noble functions
as the Father of his Country" ever
possessed. 1t is anything but a credit
to you that you do not better appreciate
and honor the man that God has sent in
these perilous times to rule the people
of this republic" / have given nearly
his words, but they fail to show the
earnest and impressive manner in which
they were spoken. The party received
the rebuke in silence; .ne at least Of
them, thought it was merited."

Ripening Pears.

At meeting Of the New York Farm
er's Club, the subject of ssRipening
Pears" was discussed, and while all
agreed that the later sorts should be
removed from the trees when hard. to
be ripened in fruit rooms in their
proper seasprs, some preferred the sum
naer and fall pears when ripened on the
trees. Several admitted that "the
seckle would ripen perfectly on the
tree; but J. W. Hayes, Esq, of Newark
claimed that many, if not all the sum
mer and fall pears, were better when SO
ripened, while DR. Carpenter and many
others stated, that with the exception
of "the Seckle," none of the summer or
fall pears were SO good when not gath
cred in green state; that they became
mealy, losing much of their juice by
evaporation, ETC.; while, if removed
from the tree before losing their hard
ness, and ripened in proper localities,
the pears were more delicious, and ev-
cry way preferable Our experience
comedies with the latter opinion, for we
have found that even the Bartlett is
materially improved IN quality by being
.ripened in the dark after removed from
the tree.
We are anxious for exact information
on this subject, and would thank our
pomological readers if they would
furnish it, and also the proper
dates for ripening each of later kinds
of pears. IF the Duchssse D'Angou-
leme be placed in warm room, and RI
pened at various dates, fifteen days
apart, from Sept. 10Th to Dec. 1st, those
ripened at the latest date will be found
to be far better in quality than those
ripened earlier A perfect list Of the
later pears, with the best dates for RI
pening them, would be very valuable,
and would assist the fruit dealers in i'm
proving the public appreciation of the
finer qualities of fruits.s- Worhing

Large Yield of Corn.

A correspondent of the Baltimore
Weekly Sun writing from Lumberport,
Virginia, says;
81 have known and heard of many
large yields of corn, but none that
would equal piece of my own plant
ing and cultivation. Last season |
grew forty bushels shellcd corn from
thirty square rods Of ground, a yield
equal to two hundred and thirteen and
a half bushels per acre. The character
of the soil is sandy loam. In Feb
ruary I covered this plot with we'll de-
composed stable manure, about three
inches deep, and plowed it under about
eight inches deep. Early in March l
planted it with yellow and white corn
mixed; (corn taken from a granary of a
grist miil) planted in burrows three and
a half feet apart, a part of the rows
even drilled, putting the grains from
six to eight inches apart, and some of
them planted in hills from one to two
and half feet apart with from two to
four grains in hill. After it began to
grow I kept the ground stirred
thoroughly with the plow and hoe,
principally with the hoe. had pillow
in it but twice; first, when it was about
six inches high, and then again when
it commenced tasseling. The corn ma
tured in July, and vas cut up in Au-
gust and put in small shocks. And
notwithstanding the corn in its early
stage was twice cut down by the frost
it produced the quantity above stated.
I ave no recollection of ever seeing
noted anywhere as great yield of corn,

Use of n Barometer In Farming.

John Underwood, Esq, Of Aurelius,
says the Auburn Advertiser, secured his
entire crop Of hay last summer by con-
sulting the barometer. The morning
ON which he began cutting his hay,
looked cloudy and felt like rain, still the
barometer pointed unerringly to dry
weather, and on the strength of that he
sent in his Kirby. The hay was cut,
cured and secured, before any rain made
its appearances: But for the barometer
the hay would have been entirely ruined
Who doubts that the instrument paid
for itself by that one item of informa-
ton? The time is coming when the
farmer will as soon think Of returning
to the scythe as to be without the infal-
lible weather prophet, the barometer.
