AN Old Maids Dream,

Some grOcoless scamp, devoid Of all re
spect for those females who have not scen
fit to take upon themselves the responsi-
blites of matrimony, gives tho following
version of what he is pleased to term An
Old Maids Dream Tho old maid sat in
her old arm chair with half closed oycs
and pensive air and without blush on her
maiden face, fell into old morphey's sweet
embrace. She dreamed tha! husband
kind and true, her form TO his side 80
fondly drew, while in accents gentle, clear,
and slow, ho called the dearest name be.
low. A fire was kindled upon the hearth
and its brightness told of joy and mirth,
while the tea kettle sung morrierlay than
il had whistled for many day Now light
was diflused in the old maids heart, and
she felt her loneliness now depart the ta-
BILE was spread all coan and new, with
plates and saucers aud chairs for two.
Here the poet kindly pauscs for tho lauda-
able purpose of prolonging the old critters
bliss. But to resvmel: AT last as the
dusky dim twilight was fast giving place
10 tho shades of night she reached hor
arms for sweet embrace, and alas! alas !
found empty space. AS from her vision OF
bliss sho awoke, and found that her vision
had pcrished and broke, she arose and
said with shuddcring sigh, "0h! would |
had married in days gone by!

QuestioMs ana Answers

A subscriber proposes tho following
questions:
/, Which is considered best ON tho diff
fereut kinds of soil, to cover manure deep
or shallow2
Q. And which is best to cut up corn
by the ground when it is glaaod or to
cut tho top stalks
3. And also what is the best method Of
bringing land known as "run,' i-.to Eng
lish grass
To which we reply:
/. That experience has demonstrated
that upon all soils aud for most crops, the
shallow covering Of manure is productive
of the best results. Common sense also die
tates that in all applications of manure
reference should be had to the peculiar
habits of each particular crop as regards
both the lateral aud downward inclination
of the roots.
2. Farmers arc not Sseeed as to which
is tho best mothod of the two abovo-nam-
ed for harvesting corn. In ordinary sea
sons we prefer to cut it mp at the root, when
well glazed, believing that any loss OF
weight in the grain, which some claim is a
consequence of this method, is more than
made up 10y the increased value of the
stalks for fodder
o. Cut oil tho springs OF tho "run," in
the tall, by ditch next to the high land
and then run bitches at right angles there
to about two rods apart, and deep enough
to tako OF tho water, in tho bottom OF
which construct drain of tiles or stones
and cover all over, Plough in the fall il
you have time, harrow we'll in tho spring
and plant to early potatoes with good
shovel full Of manure in the hill. Seed
down with such grasses as you may prefer
