Good Nature.

The first and most important quality of woman, is good nature. Made to. obey being so imperfect as man, often so full of vices, and always so full of defects, she ought to learn betimes to suffer even injustice it is not his, but her own sake, that she ought to be good natured. The ill nature and obstinacy of the wives never do anything but augmenttheir evils and the bad proceed ings of the husbands; they well know that it is not with those arms they ought to conquer. Heaven didnot make them insinuating and persuading, to become peevish; it did not make them weak to become imperious; it did not give them voice so sweet to utter invec- tives; it did not make their features so delicate, to be disfigured by anger When they fly into passion, they for get themselves; they have often reason to complain; but they are always in the wrong to scold. Each ought to ob- serve the decorum of the sex. A virtu- ous woman was entreated by one of her friends to inform her of some se crets she was possessed of to preserve the good graces of her husband. 1t is' said she, 'by doing everything that pleases him, and by suffering patiently from him everything that does not please me-

Doctor waIcott.

The celebrated Peter Pindar, was an eccentric character and had a great many queer notions of his own. A good story is told by one of his con temporaries of the manner in which he once tricked his publisher. The latter wishing to buy the copyright of his works, offered him, by letter, life an- nuity of f200. The Doctor learning that the publisher was very anxious to purchase, demanded f300. In reply, the latter appointed day on which he would call on the Doctor and talk the matter over. At the day assigned the Doctor received him in dressing-gown even to the night cap; and having ag- grayated the sickly look of the natu- rally cadaverous face by purposely ab- staining from the use of razor for some days, he had all the appearance of candidate for quick consumption. Added to this, the crafty Doctor assum- ed hollow and most sepulchral cough such as would excite the pity of even a sheriff's officer, and make Q rich man s heir crazy with joy. The publisher however, refused to give more than f2O0, till suddenly the Doctor broke out into violent fit ofcoughing, which produced an offer of f250. This the Doctor peremptorily refused and was seized almost instantly, with another even more frightful and longer pro- tracted attack, that nearly suffocated him; when the publisher, thinking it impossible that such mau could live long, raised his offer, and closed with him at f300. The old rogue lived some twenty-five or thirty years after- wards

From the American Agriculturist.
 Little things in Farming.

The whole success ofa farmer hinges upon timely attention to little things.- This, mainly, makes tho difference be- tween thrift and poverty. The philoso- phy of success is expressed in that old adage, "For want of nail shoe was lost, for want of a shoe horse was lost for want of a horse a man was lost It is little thing to keep account of the pecuniary transactions upon the farm.- A half hour Saturday evening would enable most farmers to know just how they stand with the world. Yet we sus- pect half the men who cultivate the soil never make an entry in book, and for want of this, the account runs up fear fully at the store, and many articles of luxury are purchased for which they are unable to pay at the end of the year. Debt accumulates, the farm is mort gagged, and finally lost, for want of a little paper and ink. Itisa little thing to put up tool in its place when not in use. Yet many have no tool-house or place of shelter for any implement or vehicle. Things are left where they were last used, the blow in the field, the cart in the yard, the chains in the stable, the harness in the wood house, the ax at the wood-pile and rakes in the corn crib. Many do not even house the expensive implements they have bought, and reapers and thrashers are treated like old blows and harrows. The parts made of iron and steel grow rusty, and the wood de- cays A machine that is good for thirty years, proper care, is used up in five by abuse. It is very little thing to keep horse properly groomed, yet for want of clean tetloeks the skin cracks and the horse is lame, and the owner loses the use of him fer months CT weeks.

Retaliation.

In Charles the Seconds days it was the custom, when gentleman draak a lady's health, as q toast, by way of do- ing her honor, to throw some part oi his dress in the fire, an example which his companions were bound to follow, by consuming the same article of their apparel, whatever it might be. One of his friends perceiving that Sir. Charles Sedley had on very rich lace crayat, when he named his toast committed his cravat to the flames, and Sir Charles and the rest were obliged to do the same. The poet bore his loss with great composure, observing it was a joke, but he would have as good one some other time. He therefore watch his opportunity, when the same party was assembled on subsequent occa- sion, and drinking off 8 bumper to the health of Nell Gwynne, he called the waiter and ordering tooth-drawer into the room, whom he had previous ly brought to the tavern for the pur- pose, made him draw decayed tooth which had long plagued him. The jules of od-fellowship then in force clearly required that every one of the company should have tooth drawn also, but they naturally expressed a hope that Sedley would not be so un- merciful as to enforce the law. Deaf, however to all their remonstrances, persuasions and entreaties, he saw one at time in the hands of the op- orator, and writhing with pain. while he exclaimed: Patience gentlemen, patience; you know you promised that l should have my frolic.
