Better Than Nothing.

We recall to mind the story of good
old Methodist lady very particular and very
pious, who once kept a boarding house in
Boston.
Staunch IN her principles she would take
no one to board who did not hold to the
eternal punishment of large portion of the
race. But the people We're more intent on
carnal comforts t>an spiritual faith SO that
in time her house became empty, much to
her grief and alarm. After some time a
bluff old sea captain knocked at the door,
aud the old lady. prim as puritan, answered
the call.
Servant, MAIN. Can you give me board
for two or three days Got my ship here,
and shall be off as soon as can load"
''W al, don't know, )" said the old lady
hesitatingly.
/ oh, house full, eh?''
en-, but"
"But what, ma amp
pie into my house. What do you believe p
about what''
why, do you believe that anybady will
be damned ~
20 thunder, yes !"
''Do you ?' said the old woman, bright
enug up. ''Well how many souls do you
think will be in fire eternal p
don't know ma am, really; never calcu-
lated that.
Cant You guess?''
Cant say-perhaps fifty thousand !"
'Wal-hem - unused the good woman,
II guess I'll take you fifty thousand is
better than aOtbing."

them. By this means have every year
all the manure made by my fat cattle in a
small space, finely rotted ready to haul out

All manure made at the barn is also
saved, and hauled annually on the ground
