"WHAr SHALL Do WIrH M
MoEEY."-A few days ago a farmer
came into our Office to know what be
should do with some money be wished
to invest.
'If you have mortgage on your
farm" we replied. 'pay It up"
/ "My farm is all clear, and I don't
owen cent TO any one."
"Buy another farm, if you can meet
"I have land enough"
"Is there any land on your farm that
needs drsiningT l1fr1
al guess not. 1t is mostly rolling
land"
at may be, and yet need under
draining. There are thousands Of
acres of land in Western New York
that look dry. but which is nevertheless
full Of water" -
Perhaps so, but / do not believe
nay land needs draining" :
'The fact that you have money to
invest would indicate as much. But
when you go home take q spade and
dig few trenches in different parts Of
your farm, three feet deep, and see il
the water viii not remain in them. IF
it does, the land needs draining. And
If so. you had better tile drain at once.
The money invested will pay good
interest, with no danger Of depreciation.
You viii get back interest in specie"
"The banks here don't pay any in
terest."
"But the banks on your farm will, il
the money is properly invested. Is
there no low land that needs ditching--
no old meadow that could be improved,
no land where the reaper and mower
could not be used?"
Eyes. I have an old meadow. that
is too rough to NOW, and the grass in
spots is so coarse that the COWS do not
like it."
"Just the place for your money
Such a field, when drained and i'm
proved, often proves the richest and
most productive land on the farm
You cannot find better investment
certainly not in this city, Genesses

"One Of those leaders told me in

SON G.

In the time of blossoms and of birds,
We wept our WHISPERED farewell words
Those haunting sounds that oft return
To dreaming ears and hearts that mournl
The air was one charmed world of sound;
waste Of eolors seem'd the ground;
Rich was the greensyardIs 3 rainbow'd breast
With flowers by their own sweets oppressed
In the time of blossoms and of birds,
We wept our WHISPERED farewell words;
But Hope still fingered sweeily near,
And charmed away the gathering tear.
Life was one hurrying, burning dream
One chainless and exulting stream
of witeheries. glories, and delights,
Deemed to endure times cankering blightsI
Al fearful was the awakening hour
Fearful its trace Of withering power;
And Memory whispers sadly still
Through al my trembling being thrill

MusHRooNs.-A correspondent Of a
New York paper answers as follows the
inquiry Of another correspondent
touching mushrooms and toadstools:
al observe an inquiry in your paper
Of the 4th inst, for ANY way to tell
mushrooms from the poison fungi.-
Having had considerable experience in
gathering them for my own table, ] am
happy to assure "a constant reader
that he can easily distinguish the
genuine from the unwholesome varie-
ties.

open fields, particularly rich old pas
lures; is rarely, if ever, overtopped by
trees, or growing in the shade in a
wild state. When they first appear
they are known as button mush-
rooms,' have small, round, brownish
white to white head. Of a conical shape,
and short. thick stem filing UP the
whole body Of the cap. On removing
the stem you find the inside OF the cap
or 'gIlls' Of a very delicate pink color.
As they advance in age the cap ex-
pands, the pink deepens, until, when
two or three days old, it becomes
browu-in some cases almost black
In this state the conical shade of the
cap is generally lost, and the mush-
room fiattened SO as to give diameter
on the under side of two to four inches;
the thickness of the stem is almost
preserved. The genuine
mushroom has an aroma that when
once smelt can never be mistaken
The 'toadstools,' to me at least have a
very disagreeabIe sent. The writer
has this year, with very good success
for FIRST attempt, raised mushrooms

TBEKs RoBBIsd.-In September and
October bees are very apt to rob each
other, and many families have been
destroyed in this way The remedy is
10 lower the hives down and give but
one passage way. and that not over two
inches long for the strongest families.
and to be contracted according to the
strength Of families down to a com.
pass that will only admit few bees to
pass IN and out at the same time
This is the preventive remedy. The
popuious hives, well filed with honey
win require but little protection, bui
those. hives that have been left weak by
too much swarming, or from any other
cause, are in danger. Whenever an
unusual hustle is noticed around hive,
with dead bees on the ground in front.
and the occupants Of the hive around
IN squads on the alighting board, with
stranger bees held as prisoners, you
may know that there is danger Num-
bers Of bees will be slowly flying
around on level with the entrance, as
seeking for an upguarded passage,
making louder noise than usual. At
twilight, when all other hives are quiet.
bees will be seen to leave robbed hive
and fly away to their houses. This is
the most sure test. In such a ease.
close the hive entirely for a day, but
give the bees air. You may then open
the passage-vay a very little, SO as to
allow a single bee to pass. Leave it
thus for a day or two when it may be
enlarged if no further trouble is appre-
hended.-Ex.

A STORY OF DANIEL WEBSTER. - Daniel
Webster was once engaged in a case in one of
the Virginia courts, and the opposing counsel
was William Writ, author of the Life of
Patrick Henry" which has been criticised as a
brilliant romance.
In the progress of the case Mr. Webster
produced highly respectable witness, whose
testimony tunless disapproyed or impeached)
settled the case and annihilated Mr.. Wirt's
client. After getting through the testimony
he informed Mr.. Writ with a significant ex-
preston that he was through with the witness,
and he was at his service. Mr.. Writ rose TO
commence the cross-examination, but seemed
for q moment quite perplexed how TO proceed,
but quickly assumed a manner expressive of
his incredibly as to the facts elected, and
cooliy eyeng the witness moment said
"Mr. x, allow me to ask you whether
you have ever read work called Baron Num-
chausen?,
Before the witness had time to reply Mr..
Webster quickly rose and said
II beg your pardon, Mr.. Writ, for the inter-
ruption but there was one question / forgot
TO ask the witness, and il you will allow me
that favor, | promise not to interrupt you
again."
Mr.. Writ in the blandest manner replied,
Eyes, most certainly" when Mr.. Webster, in
the most deliberate and solemn manner said !:
@Sir, have you ever read Wrt's Life of Pat
rick Henry
The effect was so irresistible, that even the
Judge could not control his rigid features.
Mr.. Writ himself joined in the momentafy
laugh, and then turning to Mr.. Webster, said,
Suppose we submit this case to the Jury
without summing ups" which was assented to
and Mr.. Webster's client won the case.
