HOW TO TELL A FARMER.

In drifting here and there, anywhere
you will, through and across the country,
one keeping an "eye to windward,' as
the sailors say, can always tell farmer
without seeing him-just by driving mod
erately past his premises. Take, for in
stance, raw, cold, clustering day, about
this time of year, and look out, and in too
as far as You can you'll find out who
lives there, without stopping to inquire,
If you find the fences all up and in good
order, gates in repair; and shut, see the
barns, stables, sheds, and all out-houses
newly battened, all tidy and snug about
the yard house banked up with tan bark
and cellar windows barricaded against
FROST not scythe, rake, or hoe, hanging
out on apple-tree limbs, nota wagon, cart,
pillow or implement of any sort unhoushed;
The young choice fruit-trees jacketed
with straw overcoats, sheds Uttered with
clean straw, and sleek cattle underneath,
comfortably sheltered, and costly chewing
their contented cuds seeing these signs,
you may safely say: "Yes-a farmer lives
here"
Whenever you see fences going to ruin,
gates dragging by one hinge, barns, sheds
and stables like Jack Straw's house
neither wind nor water tight-cattle shiv-
ering out in the cold; pinched up pigs
squealing murder; and plows, rakes, reap
ers, carts, and hand -barrows shot about
promiscuously. That's the other sort
lives there. No farmer. Only sloven
-slouch-squatter nobody in two or
three years more. '-'44

RELIEVING GUARD.

Hugh McFarley, son of the Emerald Isle,
who had volunteered, was in regiment OF
infantry, and was stationed on the beach at
Brownsville, Texas, with strict orders to walk
between two points, and to let no one pass
without the countersign, and that to be COM
municated only in whisper. Two hours
afterwards the corporal discovered, by the
moonlight, Hugh up to his waist in water, the
tide having set in since he had been posted.

THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS AT ROME The Ro-
man Catholic bishops who for some time have
been fiocking to Rome from all parts of the
globe, in compliance with the invitation of the
Pope on Thursday, the 9th of June, attended
the public consistory held by the Pope. In
his allocution, the Pope praised the zeal ex-
hibited by the bishops all over the world, and
after referring to the special occasion for their
meeting, the canonization of a number of
martyrs, and the celebration of the eighteenth
centennial of the martyrGom of the Apostle
Peter, he confirmed the condemnation of errors
pronounced by him in the Encyclica, and ex-
pressed a disre to convoke, at an early day,
a Council to repair the evils which oppress the
Church. 1t is asserted that the number of
bishops who have arrived in Rome amounts to
$50, and tina of priests to 10000. Among
them were five American archblshops. and
twenty-five bishops. The American clergy
when received by the Pope presented to him
two hundred thousand dollars in gold. Arch
bishop Spaulding, of Baltimore, and Arch
bishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, are on the COM
mittee to prepare a reply to the Pope's allo-
cution. 1t is expected that the Council refer
red to in the Pope's allocution will meet in
November. -er -l tr r 1-5

The FIRST TWENTY YEARS. Live as
long as you may, the first twenty years
form the greater part of your life. They
appear so when they are passing; they
seem to have been so when we look back
to them, and they take more room in our
memory than ali the years that succeed
them. a a .ses saib
If this be 50, how important that they
should be passed in, planting good princi-

good habits, fleeing all those pleasures

first twenty years of your life, and you
may hope that the last twenty years will

FORGOT HIM.

A certain minister had promised little
boy of his that he should accompany him
to church on the following Sabbath. =
The little fellow, although not quite four
years old, was still old enough to remem-
ber the promise But when church time
came it happened that he was sound
asleep, and his parents went away leaving
him in bed Sometime after he awoke,
and calling to mind the promise given
him, he hurried down stairs only to find
his father and mother gone. Determined
not to be frustrated in this manner, he
made his way into hestreet, and crossing
to where the church stood, entered the
open door. The minister at that moment
was commencing his sermon. Fixing his
eye on his father, the little fellow wad-
died up the isle, in his night clothes, un-
til directly opposite the pulpit, when he
halted, and looking up to him, called out:

SUNDAY.

What blessed day is Sunday? Who
does not join in ascribing praise to the
great author of it for giving us the day ?
Is there any one among our readers on
whose ear the word does not fall like
sweet music? Especially is it a blessed
day to that large class-laboring men,
birds of passage--who come home to roost
and are off in the morning almost before
the little eyes of the household have a
chance to exchange even a salutation with
the head Of it. What would such one
know of his children were it not for this
blessed day? The head weary, the heart
faint, the body jaded with the tolls and
labors Of the weeks, how grateful does
this day, hallowed by sweet, pure home
influence, step into our relief? And
then, too, what would the laboring man
do without the day? In fact everybody
is interested in 1.-THE young and the old,
the parents and the children; the man
Of business and the man of pleasure, the
man of mental as well as of physical labor
all are alike interested or ought to be,
in preserving the sacredness Of. the day.

THE EFFECT OF MARRIAGE.-Doubt-
less you have remarked, with satisfao-
tion, how the little oddities of men who
marry late are pruned away speedily
after marriage. You have found man
who used to be shabbily dressed, with a
Luge shirt collar frayed at the edges, and
a glaring yellow silk pocket -handker-
chief, become a pattern of neatness,-
You have seen man who took snuff cop
iously, and who generally had his breast
covered with snuff, abandon the vile hab-
it. A wife is the grand weilder of the
moral pruning knife. If Johnson's wife
had lived, there would have been no
boarding up of bits of orange peel, no
touching all the posts in walking along
the streets; no eating and drinking with
disgusting voraeity If Oliver Gold
smith had married, he would never have
worn that ridiculous old coat. Whenev-
er you find man, whom you know little
about, oddly dressed, or talking ridicu-
lously, or exhibiting eccentricity of man
ner, you may be sure he is not married
man for the little corners are rounded
off, the little shoots are pruned away in
married men. The wife's advice is the
tiller that keeps the ship steady. They
are like the wholesome, though painful
shears, nipping off the little growths of
self conceit and folly Fraser's Magazine.

Josh Billings on Artemus Ward.

We don't believe, says the Troy Bud

Josh says, modestly, as if an apology

in my style, and if l don't use my style
nobody will thank me for the effort If
man stands on his head once, he has got
to stand on his head the balance of his
days.
We can't put on the cap and ever

misery that fools suffer when they would

A VALUABLE FARM.-Ross Winans, the
great locomotive builder of Maryland, owns
the most productive farm in that State. 1t is
six miles from Baltimore, on the Potapsco
river, and contains about seven hundred acres.
His land cost him $59, 200; he added buildings
at cost Of $50, 900; his fencing cost him S3,-
900, and he mahured at an outlay of S67, 900,
making the total cost of his estate of S140, 600.
During the year ending on the lst of May last,
his sales of milk amounted to S37, $50 II; af
COWS and calves, in same period, he sold $11,-
986 worth, and had fifteen or twenty more
animals on hand than at the commencement of
the year. He however, purchased 9,09S
worth of cows and heifers during the year.
At the close of the year he had on hand two
hundred and twenty tons Of hay, and his total
product of hay for the year was eighteen hun
dred tons-a great average per acre. His sys-
tenn of manuring tends to build up and nourish
his land, and not to impoverish it. His milk
is sold tc dealers in Baltimore at thirty cents
a gallon,

By WILLIAM NICHOLSON, ESQ.,, OF PHILADELPHIA.
Growing the noble hill,
There thou art standing still, a
Church OF the patriot Tennent of old;
Firmly thy sbingled side .I4f
Hath the strong winds defed
More than century over thee rolled.
Watchest thou o'er the dead
Lain in their ancient bed,
Guarded by headmarks declining and gray,
Richly with moss o'ergrown,
vault-top and leaning stone
Hinder as thou dost the march of decay.
Standing as erst thou stood
Mid the old oaken wood,
When cruel royalty fought with our sires,
When shrieking British ball
Shattered the tombstone wall,
Striving to stif1e pure Liberty's fires,
Far spread thy history.
Rich is thy mystery
Ofthe old preacher tranced laid as the dead,
Startling his waking up,
Sealing the joyous hope
Of the young doctor who earnestly plead.
Though storms be rigorous t nass
Fresh, white and vigorous ,sfs
Bloom'st thou in age with the beauty of youth
Though oaks and poplar trees
Yield to the frosty breeze, 9
Firm thou remainest, old mansion of truth.
Praise we our God for thee,
Temple of Liberty!
Thanks for thy shelter to soldiers of old;
Thanks to the living Lord
For the true Gospel Word
In thy old pulpit SO frequently told.
When, in the future day,
(Still be it far away),
Silently crumblest thou into thy bed,
And thy old graceful mound,
Time-honored, hallowed ground
No more is verdant with dust OF the dead,
| Still shall thy olden time,
Sung in the poets rhyme,
| Live in the long living history's page;
| Still shall the curious search
For the Old Tennent Church,
Relic OF ancient long, long ago age.

THE PEACH CRoP.-Some idea of the extent
of the peach crop this season in Delaware may
be obtained from the estimates now being
made by the railroad company which is pre-
pairing TO carry them to market. 1t is thought
that the yield in Kent county alone will be
100000 baskets. This is exclusive of that
portion lying along the bay and creeks, which
has its natural outlet by steamboats, and sail
ing vessels. In 1864, the year noted for its
heavy crops, there was shippe from Smyrna
10000 baskets. This year the railroad COM
pany give the quota of Smyrna at 100000.

r The Wheat Crop this year, it is antici-
pa ted, will be the greatest crop of that grain
ever grown in the United States. careful
analysis of information from all the States
shows that the total acreage in wheat is 10 to
Is per cent. greater than last year. In ma
iority of the States the breadth of winter
wheat is quite as wide as usual, and that of
spring wheat much greater The reports of the
condition of the crop show that lis much bet

aa- Forty thousand wax candles are light
ed instantaneously by Il single match at the
Royal Palace in Berlin. The wicks are pre-
viously connected by thread spun from gun
cotton, on lighting one end of which all the
candles are lighted simultaneously, and thus
the whole of the seven hundred apartments of
the palace are illuminated at once. This
method of lighting by electricity has for some
time been in use in Philadelphia; but only, we
think, in connection with gas-burners.
