We cultivate all these varieties of the rasp-
berry, in addition to the Hudson River Ant
werp and the old Purple. We omit the Hud-
son River from our list, and substitute the
Philadelphia. The Hudson River is an ex-
csllent berry, rather better in quality than the
Hornet, which it resembles, though not so
large, but it is not hardy or a good grower,
and unless care is taken will ''run OUT in a
few years. The Catawissa is the two crop
variety, which every one ought to cultivate
for the autumn crop only, by cutting all the
canes clear off to the ground in November
and covering the stools with manure.

Hints on Poor Farming.

Everybody is being posted up in the way
of Improved farming, but not a word of en-
couragement is given to the man who won-
ders how it is that 'his neighbors raise such
fine crops"
Well, we have seen so much of poor
farming, in the region where we took the
sketches, that we are prepared to furnish
hints to all who affect thisstyle of husband
ry. This may seem SuperAuous task, but
we are well persuaded that the road to poor
farming, though much travelled, is not per-
fectly we'll understood We will put up
few landmarks for the benefit of the travel
ers already in the way, and for those who
wish to enter. The motto.
"Plow deep, while suggards Sleep"
is not intended for your style Do not pat
ronize any patent or improved farm inple-
ment. Purchase old, second. hand, worn.
out plows, harrows, sickles, etc. Don't both.
er with manure heap, it is too much trou
BILE for so little gain. Don't put 10 large
crops, for you will only have the more to
tend, harvest and store away. Keep poor
stock of horses, horned cattle, sheep, hogs,
etc., they won't eat bit more than good
breed of cattle would
We would say to the uninitiated, who
wish to excel in poor farming, invest all
your capital in land, and run in debt for
more. Hire money to stock the farm with,
and cramp yourself with few hundred
dollars of interest money, to be paid every
year. Don't attend to business yourself !;
by all means hire an overseer. In this way
you will farm on an independent scale
Your capital, to be sure, will be in an un.
productive state, and you have the unspeak.
able satisfaction of light work in seed time
and light work in harvest, and you won't
want big barns. Five bushels of wheat,
twenty bushels of corn, and a half ton of
hay to the acre will be your average yield.
If you have more capital than you can in
vest in land, put it in bank or railroad
stock, at six per cent. or less. Have as little
faith as possible in your own business, and
listen to all the ravens in your neighbor-
hood, who are continually croaking about
hard times and the unproftableness of farm
ing. Cherish the expectation of selling
out the first good chance, at profit of if.
ty per cent, and of emigratiug to Utah, to
the West, to Ell Dorado, or to some other
paradise.

The two Apprentices.

Two boys we're apprentices in carpenter
shop One determined to make himself a
thorough carpenter the other didn't care" "
One read and studied, and got books that
would help him to understand the principles
of his trade. He spent his evenings at
home, reading The other liked fun best.
He often went with other boys to have
agood game" "Come," he often said to
his shop-mate, "leave your old book; come
with US. What's the use of all this read
ing"
eff l waste these golden moments" an
swered the boy, 81 shall loose what l shall
never make up"
While the boys were still apprentices,
an offer of $4,000 appeared in the newspa,
pers for the best plan for State House, to
be built in one of the Eastern States. The
studious boy saw the advertisement, and
determined to try for it. After careful
study, he drew out his plans, and sent
them to the committee We suppose he
did not really expect to gain the prize; but
still he thought "there is nothing like
trying"
In about week after, gentleman ar
rived at the carpenters shop, and inquired
if an architect by the name of Washington
Wilberforce lived there.
"No," said the carpenter, no architect ;
but I've got an apprentice by that name"
"Let's see him." said the gentleman
The young man was summoned, and in
formed that his plan had been accepted,
and that the two thousand dollars were his.
The gentleman then said the boy must put
up the building; and his employer was SO
proud of his success, that he willingly gave
him bis time and let him 60.
The studious young carpenter became one
of the first architects in the country. He
made fortune, and stands high in the es-
timation of everybody; while his fellow
apprentice can hardly earn food for himself
and family by his daily labor.

FISHING FOR A GoosE.-When Gen.
Hoke's division was on the retreat, through
the country, one of the boys baited hook
with grain of corn and threw it into a
flock of geese that had been driven into a
farmers yard for protection. No sooner on
the ground, than it was seized and swallow.

ship was seen to fly over the fence, and
with his neck extended, and wings spread,
he was following the soldier. The old farm

"Don't strike him, friend, he won't hurt
you" He had not seen the cord, and sup.

THE LAND OF THE SOUTH.

Know We a land where geraniums and roses
In profuson are scattered by Flora's own hand
Where the violet in innocent beauty repcses,
And the orange and lemon their fragrance expand!
IT'S the land OF the cypress, magnolia and pine
Where the beech and the oak In their majesty stand
'Tis the land Of the olive, the myrtle and vine,
IT'S the land of the south, 'ts my own sunny iano.
All yes tis the land where the mocking bird mmics
The varied note songsters, so sweet and so bland:
Where glide the waters the white crested cygnets
And the wild curew from her own native strand
'Tis the land with the sky of the roseate hue,
And plains rich in verdure necessarily famed
By the zephyrs repete with the fragrance they drew
From the flowers that deck my own fair sunny land.
'Tis the land of affection, of honor and truth,
Where sincerely Is offered by friendship her hands
'Tis the land Of fair maidens and generous youth,
Who compose an accomplished and virtuous band
IT'S the land where e'en fairies would love TO dsport
'Twoud require no touch of their magical wand,
To make perfect the for the fairy queens court,
In this land of the SOUTH in this BRIGHT sunny land
IT'S the land where God has been bouneous in giving
To freemen heritage, 50 glorious and grand,
Where death is preferred to ignobe living,
And graves that are honor'd to slavery's brand.
Our star-clrcled banner shall from Mount Vernon
To where in its pride flows the swift Rio Grande;
While $40 trnmphe" will be the proud guerdon,
That shall bless with its peace our own sunny land

CLEvERLY ToLD.-There was a sensa-
tion story ahoat short time ago about a
man in Mobile who, in committing suicide,
cut off his head and bid it SO effectually
that no one has ever been able to find it
The circumstances excited the envy of some
chap out West, who thus tells of horrible
affair which recently occurred out in his
section:
"An Indian there who had lived unhapi,
ly with fifty or sixty squaws, determined
upon suicide. Desiring that no one should
be able to identify any portion of him, be
cut off both his legs and carried them about
FIVE miles into the woods, on foot and alone.
He buried them, and then cut off both his
arms, which he carried some five miles fur
ther and buried. Then cutting out his
tongue, that be might be unable to tell any
one he might meet who he was, he proceed,
ed several miles further, chanting his death
song as he went. He finally cut off his
head, and after amusing himself for some
time kicking it about as football, making
the woods ring with shouts of merriment,
he hid it in the trunk of a tree; and then,
digging grave with his own hands, be
got in, covered himself up, and planted a
very handsome tombstone at the head Of
his grave. Where is your Mobile man now

Duurorous Afapmg.
A Yankee Trade.

A certain farmer, who in the course ol
the year purchased several dollars worth ol
goods and always paid for them, called at
store of village merchant, his regular
place of dealing, with two dozen brooms,
which he offered for sale. The merchant
who, by the way, is fond of a good bargain,
examined his stock and said
"Well, Cyrus, I will give you shilling
piece for these brooms"
Cyrus seemed astonished at the offer, and
quickly replied:
"Oh, no John, can't begin to take that
for 'em, no how; but I'll let you have 'em
for 20 cents apiece, and not cent less"
"Cyrus, you are crazy" replied John.
"Why, see here" showing fine lot Of
brooms, sis an article great deal better
than yours (Which was true) which 1 am
retailing at twelve and half cents apiece" "
(Which was not true by seven and half
cents.)
"Don't care for that" answered Cyrus
"your brooms are cheap enough, but you
can't have mine for less than twenty cents,
any how;" and pretending to be more than
half angry, shouldered his brooms and start
ed for the door.
The merchant, getting nervous over the
loss of good customer, and fearing that he
might 60 to another and never return again :
"See here, Cyrus, hold on awhile. If
give you twenty cents for your brooms you
will not object to take the price of them in
goods?"
"No. 1 don't care if I do," replied Cyrus.
"Well, as you are an old customer, | will
allow you twenty cents apiece for this lot.
Let me see, twenty-four times twenty make
Just four hundred and eighty cents What
kind of goods will you have Cyrus p
"Well, now, John, reckon it don't
make any difference to you what sort of
goods I take does it ?"
"Oh no, not at all - not at all" said the
merchant.
"Well, then, asit does not make any diff
ference, I will take the amount in them
brooms of yours at l2a cents apiece. Let
me see, $3.50 will get 80 brooms and 10
cents over; don't make much difference
John, about the 10 cents, but as you are a
right clever fellow, l believe I'll take the
change in terbaoker."
"When Cyrus went out of the door with
bis brooms and "terbacker" John was seiz.
ed with serious breaking out at the mouth,
during which time he was distictly heard to
violate the third commandment several
times by the bystanders, who, all enjoyed
the joke.
