IRISH VERSION oFANO1DFAR1E.-

IRISH VERSION OF AN OLD FABLE.-Sargent
S. Prentiss used to give an improved Irish YER
sion of an old fable, apropos to an episode in
the Cabinet affairs of Andrew jackson. ''Once
upon a time, - as this version ran, ''the lion
made a fire in his den of mighty bad smell in
tirely, and thin he called in the bastes of the
field to give an opinion of the same. =" And he
says to the bear, says he, ''And Mr.. Bear, how
do you like the smell of me parlor to-day p
And says the honest old bear, says he, 1T
smells bad" '"Take that for yer impedince !"
says the lion, giving the ould bear whack that
knocked the breath out of him intirely,. after
which he ate him up comfortably and called in
the monkey and says he to the money, says he,
And how do we like the smell of me parlor to-
day p The monkey says says he, Eyer honor
it's the most delightful smell ever smelt in all
my life!' '"Take that for lying says the lies,
knocking him down and ateing him up, after
which he called in the fox, and says he, ''Mr.
Fox and how do We like the smell of me parlor
to-day?'' But the fox, when he saw the car
case Of the monkey that the lion had just ate,
lying dead in the corner, he whisked his tail a.
cross his eyes, as much as to say, 'D'ye see
anything green there hinney?' and he says,
says he, ITS me that's got such cowld, l
can smell at all, at all. y Then the lion laugh
ed and told the fox he was clever baste, and
might tread in his footsteps if he could straddle
wide enough"

She who makes her husband and children
happy, who reclaims the one from vice and
trains up the other to virtue, is much great
er character than ladies described in romance,
whose occupation is to mutler mankind with

MoNEY-Men will work for it, fight fer it,
beg for it. steal for it, starve for it, and die for
it. And all the WHILE from the cradle to the
grave, nature and God are laundering in our
ears the solemn question-''What shall it pro-
fit man, if he gain the whole world and lose
his own soul?" This madness for money is the
strongest and lowest of the passions it is the
insatiate Moloch of the human heart, before
whose remorseless altar all the finer attributes
of humanity are sacrificed 1t makes merchan-

FACTS WORTH REMEsIBERING-It is worth
while for all farmers, everywhere, to remember
that thorough culture is better than three mort
cages on their farm. That an offensive war a.
gaipst weeds, is FIVE times less expensive than a
defensive one. That good fences always pay
better than lawsuits with nsighbors That hay
is q great deal cheaper made in the summer
than purchased in the winter That more stock
perish from famine than founder That horse
who lays his ears back and looks lightning when
any one approaches him, is vicious-don't buy
him, That scrimping the feed Of fatting hogs,
is waste of grain. That over-fed fowls won't t
lay eggs That educating children is money
lent at a hundred per cent That one evening
spent at home in study, is more profitable than
ten in lounging about country tayerns.
