Pleasure and sleep.

When William the Fourth was crowned
a gentleman from the country having been
seized with a temporary mania to witness
the coronation procession, purchased q seat
in one of The stands erected in the Palace
Yard for the occasion, and, fearful lest the
crowd should prevent his access to il in the
morning, he took possession oft over night.
Excited expectation, conspiring with the
novelty his position, kept him thorough
" awake till toward noon next day. lie
saw the multitude assemble, the military
take up their posts, and the successive
changes which indicated the near approach
of a gorgeous and solemn ceremonial
But he had drawn too freely upon his physi.
cal strength There is point Of compuI.
sion beyond which nature refuses obedi
ence. The point in this instance was
reached a few minutes before the process
sion started, aud when it passed by ths
stand on which the country gentleman sat,
he was locked in the arms OF sleep that
would not let him go. The incident fairl,
illustrates the position we are aiming atc
establish. There are some things which A,
from you the more resolutely they are court
ed--sleep is one, pleasure is another.

| suppose that coquetry, in its legitimate
form, is among womens charms, and that
there is a legitimate sphere for its employ
ment, for, except In rare natures, it is o
natural thing with your sex. Nature has
ordained that man shall prize most that
which shall cost an effort, and while it has
designed that you shall at some time give
your heart and hand to a worthy man, it
has also provided way for making the
prize he seeks an apparently difficult one
to win. 1t is q simple and beautiful provi-
sion for enhancing your value in his eyes,
SO as to make difficult thing of that which
you know to be unspeakably easy If you
hold yourselves cheaply, and meet all adj
vances with open willingness and gladness,
the natural result will be that your lover
will tire Of you. TO become 3 firt is to
metamorphose into disgusting passion
that which by natural constitutions harm
less and useful instinct This instinct OF
coquetry, which makes woman thing to
be won and which suppose all women are
conscious OF possessing in some degree, is
not a thing to be cultivated or developed
at all.
1t should be left to itself, unstimulated
and unperverted and if, in the formative
stage of your womanhood, by initiating
them, or seeking to make impressions for
the sake Ofsecuring attentions which are
repaid by insult and negligence, you do
violence to your nature, you may make OF

expenditures for Manures.

- Millions OF dollars are annually expended
for manures, that ought be saved, for with
| adequate pains taken, a farm whose stock is
rightly prOportioned to the number of acres
titled, will furnish all the manure necessary
to keep the farm constantly Increasing in
fertility. Barns should be so arranged as
to shelter and save all the manure, both Ii.
squid and solid then, as q load of solid ma
nure isrem0yed from the stable to the Z" or
dure roOm," there should be thrown over it
two or three times its bulk of refuse straw
sods weeds, leaves, bean and pea vines,
mulch, swamp muck tanbark, Sawdust and
shavings, pouring over the heap as much Ii
| quld manure as the compost will absorb
By the constant repetition of this process,
there will be created an enormous amount
OF lermented manure sufficient to supplyall
reasonable demands OF the farm.
III eight or ten hogs are fattened, By
means of the same process, the hog-pen is
made to furnish bountifu1 supply of ma
nure for the garden and large field Of
corn. Any farmmay thus be made to manu-
lacture all the manure forsthe crops grown
upon Il, except potatoes, and those should
have plaster instead Of manure, us the lat
ter increases their tendency to rot. Pota-
toes should he planted on a dry piece Of
lands after buckwheat and the land we'll
sown with plaster into each hill. Ashes
deyery well as a substitute for plaster; pota-
toes are not liable to rot planted with either.
Guapois good, aud valuable for farm
use but every farmer should save fromth
dr0ppings OF the hennery enough for
home use. instead Of buying the imported
articles aPrives should be so constructed
as to readily yield up their accumuations,
either rom tight box, so hung as to ca
silly be moved. or from sliding drawer.
whence the contents should be conveyed
to heap or vat of absorbent refuse.
which should also be the receptacle of
kitchen refuse and bedroom deposits. A
compost heap is thus formed sufficiently to
enrich a gardento the highest degree Of
fertility, and by the use of chloride of lime,
or some other dsinlectaut, all offensiveness
may be AVOIDED
The following deductions, drawn from
years Of observation and experienced are
worthy the attention Of farmers:

Serenading of a Cold Night,

himself miserable in this way few nights
since, and Gancied all the while the object
