ANCIENT HosPITAIITY.-lt was once Il
universal custom to place ale or some strong
liquor in the chamber of an hOnored guest,
to assuage his thirst, should he feel any on
awakening in the night, which considering
that the hospitality of that period often
reached excess, was by no means unlikely.
1t is current story in Tevoitdale, that in
the house of an ancient family of wealth.
much addicted to the Presbyterian cause, n
Bible was always put into the sleeping apart
ment of the guest, along with bottle of
ale. On one occasion there was meeting
of clergymen, in the vicinity of the castle,
all of whom were invited to dinner by the
worthy baronet, and several abode there
that night. According to the fashion of the
times, seven of the reverend guests We're
allotted to one large barrack room, which
was used on such occasions of extended
hospitality. The butler took care that the
divines were presented, according 10, custom,

AGRICULTURAL.
Care of Stock in Spring.

Spring, with its cares and duties, is upon
us. Farmers have much to do at this season
OF the year in the care of their stock. which
needs more careful attention than at any
other time. They should have regular and
plentiful supply OF wholesome food and their
stables kept airy and clean. When these
matters are properly attended to, cattle will
not grow poor, weak and sickly ~ it is too
often the case in spring time. Young cattle
in our climate do not require such close pen
ming as older stock. A warm yard with dry
bottom and sheds sufficient to keep off the
storm is preferable to close pens where the
air does not circulate so freely. TIN should
have liberty to lie down and rise up through
the night as they please. 1t is pleasant to
see what nice care they take of themselves
when they are not confined to stalls and
racks. You will find no filth adherrg to
their sides, for they invariably choose the
dricst and clcanest place on which to lie
that can be found. Old cattle, and particu-
larly cows in milk, tcquire warmer stalls
than Others, and, for the convenience milk
ing, night and morning, il is best to have
their heads fastened to the rack. But in
this our judgement should be exercised so
as not to contine them too closely. unless for
the want of sufficient fresh air they contract
| diseases and perish. Very tight stables
where cattle are tied arc not to be tolerated,
as many farmers have proved to their sorrow
and loss. sleeping apartment may be too
| tight for the sleepcrs, and fevers have proved
fatal for want of air in u sick chamber But
cattle are made to live without fresh air
through the night, in the midst of their drop
pings, where their sides are saturated with
the filth of the stall which they are compcll-
ed to lie down in, or remain upon their feet
throughout the long and tedious night
Cattle have been SO closely Gagged upon Il
ship as to contract what is called ship fever
Such treatment, both ON the score of econ
omy and humanity, should be carefully
| avoided

WIT AND HUMOR.

ABOUT NosEs-Thcre is more meaning in
q nose than many people imagine 1t may
properly be termed the Bishop of the face
on account of the prominent position among
the other features. of which il is the perpet-
ual "overscer." That is the index of the
character, seems probable from its very
shape, and is plausibly urged by Lavatcr
and other physiognomists Many popular
phrases indicate the same doctrine, and
more than hint that the nose is the real
repository of the mind. Ellis nose is out
of joint :" they have 'bridgcd his nose are
common expressions to signify AN intellcc-
tual, and not a material operation. To
"count noscs,n to "tuln up ones nose" to
''put ones nose in other peoples dishes" are
phrases often heard, and mean a good deal
more than their literal import. When we
say a person is mot to lie sneczed at" We
tacitly confess that the nose is feature of
authority--a censor m0rum or an d1bittr Gle
qdRtidruRt casuist or q connoisseur
What is the exact significance of each par
ticular style of nose is not well settled among
rhinologists. A modern poet has discussed
the subject at some length, and with great
plausibiity. We copy n few stanzas:
The Roman nose bctokens manly sense;
The humble SanJ bespeaks the modest man,
But then I will never rise to cminencc
The least aspiring OF the nasal clan,
With but moderate love Of fame or pelf
Owe got they say, snubbish nose myself)
The AgNiijne proclaims the kccnest wit
But full of guile as any hawk-or hawker
The TdyH-ftp nose--as ancient Horace writ
Is everywhere n scCrncr and mocker
Some crooked end it secretly proposes
Don't hang your hat or hopes on turn-up noses
The Bottle nose ia commonly feature
One doesn't from paternal blood inherit
And hence dsclOscs not 30 much the nature
OF mind and soul. ms of some other "spirit -
Its meaning, therefore, il of small avail,
AS in a drouthy time, the ''sign' must fail
The Gimlet nose bctrays an intermedler;
Wiener you see a gimlc-nose before yc,
1t augurs that some new opinion pcdler,
Or especial agent now Intends to bore We,
The very chap who when he pricks your joint.
With hdeous smile, cries don't you the print

GRATING WAX.--A good grating wax
is made thus: Five parts of rosin, one part
becswaX, and one part tallow. These should
be melted over a quick fire and stirred toge-
ther. A little skillet is the best to use for
this purpose, inasmuch rs when the wax
comes to he used, and dissolved again, the
iron vessel remains 50 much longer warm.-
For private use, where but little grating is
done, u common tin cup will do.
In grating, the wax should be applied
carefully SO as to completely exclude the air,
and neatly, so US to look we'll rs job. 1t is
not necessary to "load" graft with the wax.

Timely Hints.

The season has now arrived when garden
operations can be commenced in earnest
This spring has been the most backward, in
Il general sense, that we remember for many
years, and we therefore have good ground
to hope that We shall have Settled weather
earlier than usual, and perhaps fewer late
trosts. The fruit buds never promised more
encouragingly.
If the early crop OF Peas Is not "lrc"dy
planted, it shoulu rc done without delay.
Frost does not injure the peR--ycry moist
weather after planting may. The Early
Frame and Tom Thumb are probably the
two best varieties to start with.
All the early crops may now go in, to wit:
Onions, Horn Carrot, Early Turnip Beet,
Sugar Parsnip. Lettuce, the Early Turnip
and Long Scarlet Radish, Early Dutch Tur-
nip; also Asparagus beds should be made ut
once, and Rhubarb roots and Horse Radish
set out Every strip of the latter having
piece of the crown with it will grow, and
should be set an inch or two below the sur
! face Rhubarb roots can be divided into
several portions, rs the sprouts may indicate,
and set slightly below the surface.
Strawberry beds can he made now at any
| time. AS we have many times repeated, the
varieties possessing strong plants, and which
are robust growers like our White Pine
Apple, or the Triomphc dc Gand Albany,
Longworth's Prolific, &c., should be set
three feet ajart edcd 5Cay, and carefully culti-
waited between, and removing the runners
| Some other varieties. such as liovCy's, Early
Scarlet, &c, and all moderate growers. We
prefer to plant one foot apart and allow them
to run into beds.
Those who wish to renew their GoOsehcrry
and Currant bushes, should now set out the
cuttings just where they wish the same TO
stand. Remember, last years wood must NH
used, which should he inserted not less than
six inches in the ground, and the soil pres, Il
with the foot firmly around them. There IL
no difficulty at all about their growing.
Grating of nearly ell kinds is more certain
if done not before mid April, and may be
safely deferred to the middle OF May or even
later, if the gratis have beer cut at the pro

THE TATLoR's DREAM.-A tailor, who was
dangerously i'll, had a remarkable dream
He saw, tluttering in the air, piece Of cloth
Of a prodigious length, composed of all the
cuJbage he had made, of a rariety of colors.
The angel of death held the piece of patch
work in one Of his hands, and with the other
gave the tailor several strokes with piece
of iron. The tailor, awakening in flight,
made "a vow, that if he recovered he would
cabbage no more. He soon recovered. As
he was very diflident of himself, he ordered
one Of his apprentices to put him in mind of
his dream whenever he cut out new suit
of clothes. The tailor was some time obedi-
ent to the intimations given him by his ap-
prentice But nobleman having sent for
him to make coat out of very rich stuff,
his rirtpG could not resist the temptation.--
His apprentice put him in mind Of the dream,
but to no purpose: Il am tired with your
talk about the dream" said the tailor /;
"thcrc was nothing like this in the whole
piece of patchwork I saw in my dream and
l observed likewise that there was u piece
deficient; that which | am now going to
take will render it complete
