How A QUAkEREss OBTAINED WORLDLY
AMUsEKENT.lGeorge Thompson, the Eng;
Gsh abolitionist, while lecturing in Eng
land, slapped one night with a Quaker
family. The Quakers, it is known, are
too staid to permit music in their sect, be-
Geying it a proftless amusement, indulg-
ed in by the worlds people. Mr.. Thomp-
son is fond of musie, and is something OF
q singer. During the evening he sang
loft in the Silly Night" which was lis
tened to with rapt attention by the fami-
y. In the morning, after Mr.. Thompson
came from his chamber, the matron of the
house appeared quite uneasy. She wished
20 hear the song again. but it would hard
ly do for her, a Quakeress, to request its
repetition. At last, her desires getting
the better of her, she ventured to say
George, will thee repeat the words of
last evening in hy usual manner ?"-Norh-

Out at Columbus, they tell the following
on Gov. Tod:
A pious sedate looking clergyman stop
ped into the Governors office, and after the
usual situations had passed between them,
the Governor, according to his custom, ask
ed the Clergyman 'Ehat can | do for you,
sir?"
The Clergyman replied that he "desired
to be appointed a Chaplain in the army
ITO what regiment do you wish to be ap-
pointed to ." asked the Governor.
The Clergyman replied that it made "no
particular difference to what one-any one
would suit"
But" says the Governor. "you ought
to have q recommendation of the officers of
some particular regiment then 1 would
know to what regiment you should be ap-
pointed
The Clergyman replied that ''no recon
mendations were needed. The Governor
could appoint to what ever regiment he saw
proper"
But" says the Governor, IF | were to
appoint you Chaplain of a regiment with
out the recommendation or consent of the
officers of the regiment, IT WOULD PLAY
ILL"
The Clergymen left without being ap-
pointed a Chaplain in the army.

Culture of Flax.

THERE'S no crop that will give immediate
returns 50 largely, perhaps, as fax. The
fibre and the seed are both cash articles al
ways in demand. FLAX can be produced
on almost any soil capable of yielding a
good crop of Indian corn or wheat. OF
course, the better the soil, the better the
crop" Manure viii not hurt it. 1t is
generally conceded, however, that is an ex-
hausting crop; but if the farmer who rails
es fax, would buy as many pounds of OIL
cake, as he sold of seed, and feed the cake
to his cattle and sheep, he would find that
the value of his pile of manure would iu-
crease faster than his soil would deterio-
rate by the culture of fax.

Quilted

How mysterious is the tie of association
which iuks fond memories with the merest
triAea What a human interest do such re-
collections throw around the commenest OBJ
jects. We thought of this the other day,
when we saw two Of our lady friends por-
ing over a faded quilt as if it were a vol
ume full Of the tenderest thoughts. Each
bit Of patchwork had for them its separate
history. One was a piece of the dress ofa
dear friend long since gone to her rest
Another was worn on an occasion of great
interest, recalled with quivering lip and
moistened eye. A third was an heirloom,
a bit of the dress of some great grand
mother, long since forgotten, but for this
shred once worn by her. To such insig-
~niiicant things do We owe the preservation
Of our memories! Every fragment of the
well worn quilt recalled some fond memory
or forgotten incident of the past. 1t seem
ed Ike reading the history of their lives in
calico.
We were musing on the theme when our
eye fell on the following paragraph in one
of Jenny June's contributions to the New
York Sunday Times. 1t tells the whole
story:
There is a charm about patchwork
quilts for which every has a weak
ness. They are full ofsecret memories, and
incidents, and stories, and associations
which are recorded in every square and
block as clearly as if traced by the pen of
the recording angel. Such contains squares
of everybody's dress. There is the blue
which you wore to school, and which was
made very low in in the neck, and always
looked so pretty and the pink, which was
a present from Aunt Abby and the calico,
which was Worn for the first time to 60 to a

a favorite with-HeighO!

Good One.

Tim Tidwell was a bird. Tins charae.
ter was a book-a mysterious volume
When among the b'hoys he was full of fun
and drollery, and his appearance among
them was the signal for a smile. But
Tim was difident and awkward when in
ladies' company. and it is a debateable
question whether it was real modesty or a
smack Of waggery which seems to have
prevailed his spirit from a boy; but that is
not the material point. Listen to my story f:
In the leafy month of June a party of
us tired of the dust and dullness, incident
al to town life at that season, left the village
f for a short excursion to pic mic
on the banks of a beautiful stream which
meandered through a shady grove a few
miles from town. Tim went, as he said,
more to be a locker on of fun and fishing
than to be quorum pars." But he was not
long permitted to maintain his dignifed 81
lenee. Thinking that something rich was
in him, they were all bent on drawing him
out, and for that purpose a proposition was
made that leach should either tell an anec-
dote or sing a song.
Poor Tim was unfortunately denied the
free use of his tOngue-he suffered awful
lyi He opposed the proposition, but the ma
jority ruled, and the song and joke went
round. till Tim was enthusiastically called
on. Tim stared wildly. He looked in
vacancy and wished he was tn bum
Anon. he scanned the ground as if he
would give worlds for a hole into which he
might craw6sh, but he was evidently not in
luck. At last a bright idea seemed to
strike him, and looking up in manifest re-
lief, be said:
"Llladies and g-gentlemen. I c-can't
tell no anec-d-dote; nor l c-can't sing, but

STRAWBERRIES.
Nothing pays so we'll, for what it costs,
as a bed of good strawberries. If they
have been covered during the winter, re-
move the covering. We prefer not to work
them much in the spring-dO that after
bearing. If thrown up by frost, reset
carefully, or fill up with fresh soil. A
mulching of tan bark, rotten wood, or rot
ten saw dust, will help to keep the weeds
down, and retain the moisture.
If you have not a bed of good varieties,
set one cut Immediately. Inferior varieties
are dearer, as a gift, thar good ones at the
price they sell for. A bushel to the square
rod, is only an ordinary yield, when prop

Truth.

Innocence is the sweetest thing in the
world, and there is more of it than folks
generally imagine. If you want some to
transplant, don't seek it in enclosures of
cant, for it has only counterfeit ones; but
in the garden of truth and of sense. Co
