+ Josh Billings favors the world with o
brief essay on dogs. Dogs in the lump, !"
.ays,J Joshua, "are useful, but they are not
always profitable. The Newfoundling.dog
is useful to save children from drowning,
but you have got to have pond ofwater
and children running about careless, or
else the dog amt profitable. There amt
nothing made boarding q Nufounlin dog.
Rat terriers are. useful to ketch rats, but
the rats amt profitable after you have
ketched them. The shepherd dog is use.
full tew drive sheep but if you have to
go and'buy flock of sheep, and pay
more than they are wuth, jest to keepfthe
dog bizzy, the dog amt profitable
much Lap dogs are very useful I; but if
you don't hold them in your lap awl the
time, they amt profitable at all. The
coach dog is one of the most useful NY
dogsI know NV; but yu hayc got to have
coach, (and that amt always pleasant, J

A PLANrER'sJ JoxE.-We recently heard
q good joke says the Montgomery Adver.
tiser, on gentleman from Northern
parts, who, not being posted on Southern
agricultural matters, was taken by PLAN
ter to his horne in the country and initia-
ted, into some of the mysteries of planta-
tion life. A4
Among other curious things, the plan
ter told him thatin one field he had plow
running without either the aid of man or
horse, and of course the stranger could
not think of leaving without witnessing
so wonderful a sight. Although it was
in the middle of a hot August day, the
planter, foot-back, started withhim to sec
50 strange performance, and after going
about two miles: his curiosity was graft
fed by beholdiog q female darkey driving
leisurely along q very lazy mule. lie
asked no questions for a wonder, but ex.
pressed himself eminently sold out.
