A Harry WoMAN.-What specta-
Gle more pleasing does the world
afford than happy woman con-
tented in Ter sphere, ready at all
times to benefit her little world by
her exertions, and transforming the
briars and ihornS ollie into roses
OF Paradise by the magic of her
touch =? There are those who are
thus happy because they cannot
help lt--no miStortunes dampen
their sweet smiles, and they diiuSe
a cheerful glow around them as
they pursue the even tenor OF their
way. They have the secret of con.
tentment, whose value is above the
philosophers stone; for without
seeking the baser exchange of gold,
which may buy some sort OF pleas
IRE, they convert everything they
touch into JOY. What their condI-
ton is makes no diference.-They
may be rcl or poor, high or low,
admired or lorsaken by the tickle
world; but the sparkling fountain
of happiness bubbles up in their
hearts and makes them radIantly
beautiful. Though they live in a
log cabin. they make it shine with
a luster which Kings and Queens
may covet. and they make wealth a
fountain CT blessings to the children
Of poverty. Happy women are the
brightest type OF humanity, and We
cannot say how much we owe to
TO them for the progress OF the race.
Would there were enough to 60

FRUIT.

The prospects are that the crop
OF fruit will be at best a moderate
one, and toe greater care should be
taken III picking and marketing
and IN driving and preserving any
not otherwise disposed of. Those
who send fruit to city markets,
ought TO know that il is sold almost
entirely by its appearance. A lot
Of APPLES of Indifferent quality,
carefully picked and picked, viii
sell for more than a greatly superb
or fruit which has been beaten from
the trees, and cores to market
bearing evidence of careleSsness in
its preparation. Where the fruit
runs unevenlY, it is better to assott
it, and make two qualities; a higher
price Tor the whole will be realized.
Let the quality OF the fruit be uni
form throughout the barrels or
baskets. Those who practice the
deception OF topping OIL their pact-
ages with a few selected specimens,
soon establish a bad reputation,
and they get lower price in the
market. Barrels are now mostly
examined through.

Thaer says; Land should be chief
" valued according to its consist
ence; the greater the degree OF this
quality which it possesses, the near
er does it approach to first class
land; but the smaller the proportion
of clay, and the larger the quantity
OF sand which enters into the CON
position, the more rapidly does 1t
iall in value" What say Jersey
and Long Island farmers to that

ing 10 the influence Of air and t'llage
to make them yield their riches to
the cultivltor. Moreover, clay is
very retentive ofall manures applied
to it, while sand soon teaches them
away. How often do we hear the
owners OF sandy farms complain in
this wise; ooh! it is just like put
ting water into a sieyel' Sandy
soils are easier to work, but in the
long run the clays are usually the
most productive. Some very inter
eresting results have been achieved
by dressing sandy soils with clay,
the clay seeming to add positive
fertility, as well as TO increase It's
consistency. But in the question
between clay and sandy land, prob
ably all will agree that the best soil
lies between the two extremes, a
clayey loan being better for all or
binary purposes than either pure clay
or pure sand. II.
There is no doubt that clay
lands, if rightly treated, are the
best, unless entirely made up oil
