Farm hands are difficult to be got,
in many cases, and command very
high prices. Laborers and working

probable that if all the workingmen

they would not begin to supply the

Give Her the Pants.

Once on time, not long ago, not
so far from Millersburg as it might
be, good-hearted man and his long
tongued, style talking wife, attended
o social party. Almost every three
minutes she would check her hus
band thus:
Now, William, don't talk so
loud "
"Come, William, don't lean back
IN the chair that way"
"Now, William, don't get noisy
over there"
Say, William, let the girls alone,
and sit by me-
At last forbearance ceased to be q
virtue, and the husband, who was
really pitied by all in the room, rose
and said:
"I beg the pardon Of the company,
bnt as my wife insists OF being boss
all the time, tits right that she should
have these:'
And he deliberately took Off his
pants, handed them to her, and sal
down in his boots and drawers.
The company was astonished; the
woman burst into tears; tile happy
couple soon went home; but neither
of them wore pants. .I.,I..
How the affair was ended we can
not cell, but the last time we saw
William he had the pants on. We
are inclined to think she will moi

A Philadelphia paper, in the course
of u biographical sketch, related the
following "iittle story "a son was
born TO our professor, and the event
scarcely transpired before the father
announced it to his delighted pu.
pills. Scales were instantly brought
from neighborins s grocer. Into one
dish he placed the babe, into the
other all the weights. The beam
was raised, but the Guild moved not.
The father, emptying his pockets,
threw IN his watch coin, keys, knives,
and lancet, but to no purpose-the
little lero could not be moved. He
conqured every thing! And ut last
while they were adding more and
more weight, the cord supporting
the beam gave way, and broke,
rather than the giant infint would

al Mcclellan was in the hight OF his
prosperity. The country has since
seen the prophetic charm" in this

Notwithstanding the large mum
bers OF foreign immigrants who haye
arrived in this country during the
present year, it is stated that consid
erable numbers are leaving every
week Tor their old European homes
Most of those returning are Irish,
who are unable To find satisfactory
and remunerative employment in the
large cities where they land, and are
unwilling to go into the Interior
The German immigrants are Of bet
ter class and generally have some
money, so that they are able to
take time in looking for a place to
settle. They mostly SEEK the agri
cultural regions ot The far West, and
foreigners who choose to do that will
be under no necessity Of returning
