Female Influence,

Disappointed old bachelors are fond of
asserting that woman are the root of all
evil. The TACT that pretty waiter girls
figure in our bank detalcations, and that
prince Plon-PIon is travelling about with a
mysterious female companion, are cited as
fresh evidences of the truth of the axiom.
These crus'y philosophers mistake the
effect FOR the cause. Men naturally seek in
the panionship and sympathy of woman
relief fran their cares. Had they consulie ed
them previous TO yielding 10 temptation,
they would in nine cases out of ten never
have got into trouble. As il is, the con.
ISOLATION which they afford is precious ia
both saint and sinner. II il costs diamond
ring or slice Of imperial revenue, the donor
no doubt thinks the article cheap at the
price.

The Contents of a Bishops Pocket.

Every one has read Of the Bishop of Bath
and Wells sitting down, after making a
speech, upon his episcopal shovel. hat, but
this is not half so good an adventure as
occurred TO ore of his predecessors, and
which, though founded on acts, is intro.
duced in work of fiction by noble sport
ing writer of the present day. 1t appears
that upon one occasion the bishop referred
TO, diDed with one of his nelghbors about
Christmas time, and among the deicasies
was turkey and sausages. A footman who
had an eye for the latter, removed one or two
links Of them (Which he placed in paper)
as he took the dish through the hall, but
being disturbed, dropped the parcel INTO
the first greatcoat he found. Unable TO
secure his stolen prize, the sausages was
left in the pocket and were not discovered
until the following day, when the bishop
had TO attend school meeting. After adj
dressing the children in pious strain, and
having provided himself with some religious
tracts to dispense among them, he wound
up his address by expatiating upon their
merits; but unfortunately, instead of taking
out the contents of his left pocket, he
brought out those of his right, and exposed
TO the gaze of the children small string
OF pork sausages.

sow WHEAT,

The incessant rains in harvest time did
great damage TO the wheat crop throughout
the West, But little good wheat was bar
vested. Millions of bushels were damaged
or destroyed. This must have grea, effect
upon the price Of. the next crop of wheat.
We think farmers can plant largely Of
wheat and obtain high prices. We know
of no crop that promises better price.
But the land should be prepared in the
best possible manner, so that heavy yield
may be obtained. Be very careful to obtain
good seed. So much wheat has beer
damaged that it will be ficut TO get re-
reliable seed. Cleanse it thoroughly before
sowing Rural World.

FALL FLOWING.

A great advantage is often experienced
by blowing lands in the fall for spring
sowing and planting, owing to the press OF
business that occurs with every farmer in
the spring.
Some soils are considerably benefited by
fall blowing, allowing the action of winter
frosts to destroy many noxious weeds,
besides producing disintegratiOn in those
that are stiff and clayey, and rendering
them more susceptible of sustaining crop
than they would be, if plowed in the spring.
Fall blowing should be confined chiefly
to clayey, and other stiff lands. When
sandy soils are plowed in the fall, they re-
ceive during the winter season a positive
injury, by exposing their soluble; organic,
fertlizing elements to The action of winter
rains, which wash much of them away;
but clayey lands possess a strong affinity
for the gases that exist in the atmos phere,
which are introduced into such soil by the
actions of rains and SHOWS Of winter, and
they retain them for the benefit Of future
crops.
1t is especially advantageous TO pillow
clayey lands in the fall, that are generally
too wet to pillow in the spring, and the most
of such soils can be sowed to oats in the
spring, or planted to corn or potatoes, by
merely mellowing them with harrow.

"Tis sweet to live," is the almost in
voluntary language of the human heart.
From the infant sporting on its mothers
knee, down TO the old, grey,headed man,
life has its charms. The Joyous hearted
child, the aspiring youth, the man of bust.
ness, the seekers after honor, wealth or
pleasure, all feel that life Is sweet, as it
affords opportunities to each to pursue his
favorite phantom; the attainment of which is
his idea of happiness, To those who live
IN the affections and sympa,hies of their
fellow men, loving and beloved, life is
sweet indeed. But this can best be uttered
by those who appreciate life in its true
character as the season which God has
