Le~r;"e large crops of mustard as we'll as of
wheat, and 10 some instances the owners
might be puzzled to determine which it
would pay best to harvest for. AT the ru'
ing price for mustard seed during the past
few years, there is no doubt it would have
been most profitable to have cultivated mus
tard crops exclusively, on much of the
ground that has been put in wheat; but it
certainly seems worth the inquiry, it some
economical method Of separating and saving
the mustard seed thrtshed with the wheat

the refreshment which the hours Of repose
are designed to impart. Cleanliness Of per.
son is essential to sound aud refreshing
slumber. hence the labor Of keeping ones
person clean is simply repaid by the elastic
ity which follows from nightly ablutions be-
fore retiring TO rest. These are especially
requisite during the hay'ng and harvesting

lhe last census, says the Chicago Times,
contains some facts not very complimentary
to the rigl teous Puritans. Massachusetts,
with population but little less than Illinois,
has about six times as many paupers and
more than ten times as many criminals
oeo!s'" with population about lhe same
AS Massachusetts, has aoo~. nne- fifteenth as
many 1aupers and one twentieth as man,
criminals. Taken together The average pau
perism and crime in New England are about
eight times greater than in any other equal
portion Of the population Of the country -
What the Pulitans lack in this respect they
make up in pretensions. With eight times
more paupers and criminals proporlionaiIy
than the rest Of the country, they pretend to
about eight times more virtue than the re-
,naiuder of lhe human race.

"Io show how the voting was done, we
will instance the result in single district,
which, we are told. is a fair sample Of the
