Farmer SeymOur's Mistake.

The washing must be done to-day,
my dear, said Mrs. Seymour to her
husband, one morning, as he appeared
to be leaving home--'but we have no
water; what shall we do?'
What can You do?' answered her
husband, rather gruflly-'what can
you do? That's more than can tell
Water, water, it's always water when
l am in hurry to go to work.
But, my dear, returned Mrs. s.,
mildly, i mentioned last evening that
we should water this morning, You
know tina, you wish the washing done
on Monday; but | put it off one day
because ! saw you We're too much en-
gagged to fetch any.
Engaged : said the husband. Tn
driven half out Of my senses, and then
the cry is water, or some other want
Why didn't you catch water yester-
day? the rain ran ike a mill-race
We did our best, replied Mrs, S. /;
but the casks were too dry to hold,
and
we did; but you know we have on
ly two, and one of them is quite small.
Our large washing in harvest time
cannot be done with the water of only
two tubs
Was there ever man so plagued ?
Fair weather, grain ripe, grass down,
men and teams all ready, and now
every wheel must stop to get water.
You can't wash with it, if we get it.
My dear. said Mrs s., her eyes
filling at his unkindness, Il regretted
to mention the subject, for | was SEN
sible that you We're quite engaged; but
| did not well know what to do
well, we'll, if we must, we must.
Here, James, stop that team, put the
hogsheads into the cart, and fetch
some water
But James had caught the spirit Of
the master, and stopped the team with
wrathful stroke, over the eyes Of the
hating beasts.
There, stop, will YEP The cask

PuRsuIr or PLEASURE We smile at
the ignorance of the savage who cuts
down the tree in order TO reach its
fruit; but the fact is that blunder
OF this description is made by every
person who Is over eager and impa-
tent in the pursuit of pleasure. To
such, the present moment is every
thing, and the future is nothing; he
borrows, therefore, from the future Mt
a most usurious and ruinous interest;
and the consequence is, that he finds
the tone of his best feelings impaired,
his self-respect diminished, his health
of mind and body destroyed, and life
reduced to its very dregs, at time
when, humanity speaking, the greater
portion of its comforts should be still
before him

WHEN TO PICK APPLES AND Pears. -
Most people let apples and pears be-
come too ripe before they gather them.
They want to see them fully ripe
ready to fall of the tree before they
pick them. This is wrong. II picked
a few days before maturity, they will
keep longer, color more highly and
command a higher price in market.
The precise time to pick is rather
difficult TO determine The best cri-
terion is, to raise the fruit up, and
bend the stem over, and if the stem
parts from the shoot without breaking,
the fruit is ready to pick whether
apples or pears. Pears should be
picked proportionally earlier than APP
pies. The quality Of the fruit is also
improved by early gathering. After
being picked, it should be put in tight
boxes or barrels, and kept few days
in the dark, if Of GUNNER or fall yarie-

agement to the many noble mothers
who have given their sons to the late
glorious contest of saving our country,
we reprint an instance of revolution
AIRY times taken from paper Of Au-
gust, l77G:
A gentleman who lately travelled
through Connecticut met with an old
gentewoman who told him she had
fitted out and sent to Boston five sons
and eleven grandsons, when she heard
of the engagement between the pro-
yincials and regulars. The gentleman
asked her IF she did not shed tear
at parting with them r "No, lsaid
She | never parted from them with
more pleasure" But suppose (said
the gentleman) they had all been
killed" 81 had rather said the noble
matron) that this had been the case,

printed every year, A good medical
authority ascribes to the tomato the
following very important medical quail

liver and other organs5 where calomel
is indicated, it is one of the most
eiiectual and least hurtful medical
agents known to the profession Sec

ToP-DREssrNG WITH MANURE. The ex-
perience of those who have applied
top-dressing on their grass lands Mt
different periods through autumn con-
firms the opinion that the earlier the
application is made the greater is the
benefit received, whether it be for the
present crop or for inyerting the sod
next spring for corn. When applied
late in summer or early in autumn,
the manure becomes more thoroughly
diifused, but gives a larger amount of
vegetable matter, az we'll az loosens
the soil by the increased growth.
Farmers who have manure now on
hand will please remember this fact
and act accordingly.
Another important fact in this con-
nection should be borne in mind. II
is better to apply the manure during a
drouth not only because the manure
when dry can be more evenly spread,
but the soil being like a dry sponge
will readily absorb all the liquid ma
nure which the first rain washes down
into it. Country Gent.

ing successful, won several hundred
dollars. The watchmans tap sound.
ing twelve, the bankers closed Their
game, and the crowd began to dis

THE PUNcTUL MAN.-AIr. Higgins
was a very punctual man in all his
transactions through life. He amassed
a large fortune by untiring industry
and punctuality, and at the advanced
age OF ninety years was resting quietly
on his bed and calmly waiting to be
called away. He had deliberately
made almost every arrangement for
his decease and burial. His pulse
grew fainter, and the light of life
seemed just Pickering in its sockets
when one Of his sous observed:
Father, you will probably live but
Il day or two; is it not well for you to
name your bearers? 2
TO be sure, my son, said the dying
man. ut is well thought of, aud
will do it now
He gave the names of six, the usual
number, and sank back exhausted up
on his pillow.
A CLEAN OF thought passed over his
withered features like ray of light,
and he rallied once more. "AIy son,
read me the list. Is the name of Mr..
Virgins there p
1T is, father"
"Then strike it off" said he, EN-
for he was never punctual
was never anywhere in season, and
he might hinder the procession
whole hour."

Since the publication OF The Bridge
Of Signs by Hood, we have seen moth
inc to equal the following poem in
roint of smooth versifcation, flowing
rbytbm and touching pathos. The
nlaintiye wall of womans lost honor
will bring tears to every sensitive
breast. The author and subject of the
niece was an actress of some reputa-
hou who formerly lived in st. Louis
in great style and magnifcence. She
was connected by marriage with some
Of the first people of the country, and
to those who knew her the poem will
will be doubly attractive; a woman of
treat genius and surprising beauty,
fallen from her proud estate, paints
her own soul and let's the world see
the remorse written upon it in such
terrible letters;
o. the snow. the beautiful snow,
Filing the sky and earth below;
over ths housetops over the street,
over the heads OF the people YOU meet.
Dancing,
Flirting,
skimming along;
B,sutiul snow it can do no wrong,
Flying to kiss a fair ladys check,
Cmrng 20 lips in frohc-ome freak,
Beautiful snow froi the heaven above,
Iurcas an angel, gentle as love.
Oh the snow, the beautiful snow,
How the flakes gather and laugh as they go
Wh-ng about ia the maddening fun,
It plays in its gee with every one.
Chasing,
Laughing,
Hurrying by:
flights on the face and 1t sparkles the eye
And the dogs with bark and bound,
Snap at the crystals that eddy around.
The town Is alive. and its heart in a glow,
To welcome the coming Of beautiful snow
How wild the crowd goes swayng along,
Hating each othor with humor and song
How The gay sedges, like mcicors, dash by,
bright for the moment, then lost 10 the eye;
Ringing,
Swinging,
Dashing they go,
Overt crust Of the beautiful snow:
Snow So pure whenit falls from the sky,
To be trampled in mud by the crowds rushing by,
To be- uampled and tracked by the thousands OF
feet,
lAh blends with the filth in the horrible street.
Once was pure as the snow-but fell
Eel like the snow-hakes from heaven to hell;
Tel TO be trampled as filth Of the street;
Fen TO be -cofed, to be spit on and beat;
Pleading,
Cursing,
Dreading 10 die,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy,
Dealing IN shame for a morsel Of bread,
mating the living and fearing the dead;
Aeredul God have fallen so low
anu yet vas once like the beautiful snow.
Onee was fair as the beautiful snow,
WITH an eye like its crystal, heart like its low
Once was loved for my innocent grace
'@''efed and sought for the charms of my face
