sists in not having married quarter Of
century ago. sought refuge from the
heats of August and the loneliness OF
celibacy at one Of the seaside retreats.
Late one evening quite . part5 we're
seated on the piazza. enjoying the fresh
breezcs. and among the rest an affee-
tionate married couple. The wife shan-
ced to step away for . few moments. and
the husband soon followed. Thinking
the coast was clear, our bachelor friend
innocently took possession of the chair
just vacated by the husband. An iu-

A HINT TO FARMERs.-Wer may send
to England for Durham COWS, Or Spain
or Saxony for the finest sheep; We may
search ,he world over for cattle that
please the eye, but unless they receive
the best care and liberal feeding, they
will most assuredly deteriorate, and
eventually become as WORTHLESS and as
unworthy of propagation as any Of tho
skeleton breeds that now haunt our rich
but neglected pasture lands. We re-
member an anecdote 10 point. and will
relate i. by way of illustration. A far
mer having purchased COW from the
country, abouuding in the richest past
urage, upon taking her 10 his own infs-
rior pastures, he found that she fell short
Of the yield which he was informed she
was accustomed to give. He complained
to the gentleman of whom he had pur-
chased. that the COW was not the one he
had bargained for; or in other words.
that she was not what she was cracked
up to be. 'Why.' said the seller, i
sold you my cow. but I did not sell you
my pasture too

FALL OF RocK.-A day or two since
the large table rock, below the suspen-
sion bridge at Clifton. fell, taking with
it large section of the bank. Tho con-
cussion produced by the fall is said to
have shaken the bridge from end to end,
as we'll as the portion Of the land and
tenements in the vicinity, causing many
to imagine that an earthquake had
taken place. Tho rocks and earth have
formed a small island in the river, but
it is expected that the action of the wa
ter will speedily remove it, as the current
is very swift and strong at the spot. OF
late years the rock sliders have been
very frequent to give persons confidence
in their title deeds.-S. Catharine'

HUMAN NATURE. - Some wise man
sagely remarked, "there is good deal
of human nature in man." 1t crops out
occasionally in boys. One ofthe urchins
in the school ship Massachusetts. who
was quite sick, was visited by kind
lady. The little fellow was suffering
.cutely, and his visitor asked him if she
could do anything for him. Eyes," re-
piled the patient, Tread to me-" "WiIl
you have a story?". asked the lady
"No." answered the boy; Tread from
the Bible; read about Lazarus" and the
lady complied. The next day the visit
was repeated, and again the boy asked
the lady to read. 'Shall l read from
the BibleT' she inquired. "Oh. no."
was the reply, "I'm better to-day, read
me lous story."-New Bedford STAN

Tun KENTUCKY TOBACCO CRoP.-From
the best information it is in our power
get, we are satisfied the tobacco crop
in this State has not been materially in
iured by the frost. We have solicited
answers from correspondents and from
farmers, and they all tell us. as far as
we have heard, the injury to the stand
ing crop is by no means SO great as was
at first reported. No doubt the crop is
injured in Indiana and Illinois; the frost
was severer in thoseStates than in ours,
and we havs no doubt that the yield 10
Kentucky will be fully as large IS last
year, if not larger, because Of the large

Beware of the innumerable array Of Alcho-
