A woman with child entered pho
tographie gallery, the other day, and pre-
vious to placing it for picture, the wo-
man subjected the young one to a vigo-
rous spanking. The artist interfered,
when he was informed by the woman that
she was only trying to get up fine col
or 10 the child's face, in order that It
might be represented in the picture with
blooming cheeks. She was somewhat
surprised to learn that the matter of col

How Farmers waste Time.

Mr.. Harrison, in one of his papers
called "Walks and talks on the farm,
which have been running for more than
a wear in the American Agriculturalists
has the following capital hit at the waste
Of time by farmers:
at is we'll known fact that dogs wag
their tails, and philosopher once COM
puted the amount of power in the aggre-
gate, lost to the world by this useless hab-
it. and found that it was sufficient to turn
half the grist mills in Europe. If he
should figure up all the power we lose on
the farm in year for the want of little
thought, he would probably tell US that
it would be sufficient to dig in week or
two, all the gold in California, and make
us all rich. But joking apart, If other
manufacturers lost as much time and
power as some farmers do they would
soon be ruined We lose time in every
s:-ay. We take load to the city and
como back empty, and then 60 empty to
the city to bring a load. We lose time
IN scraping dirt on to road, to raise 1t
few inches above the water, while half the
labor in ditching would take the water
three feet below the road. We lose a
great deal of time by being in a hurry.
We have no time to oil the harness: to
keep carriages clean, the nuts tight; to
drive hoop on barrel or a pail when
it gets loose; TO put up tools and imple-
ments; TO plant fruit trees, or take care
of them. We never have time to attend
to the many little things on the farm, and
we loose more BY neglecting them, than
we possfpfe can earn by steady work.

THE VIRTUES OF TAR.


very ingenious 'sell' upon the Royal So
clety OF Great Britain was perpetrated by Sir
Charles Hanbury Williams, wicked wag of the
age, during the furore caused by the discovery
OF the wonderful healing powers of TARI
WATER Sir Charles sent communication toI
the President relating the circumstances OF al
sailors breaking his leg on board of the guard
ship ut Chatham, and its perfect union and cured
by an application of spun oakum soaked in tar.
After the communication had been read and
printed in the Royal Transactions he sent second
letter, stating that he had forgotten to state in
the former correspondence that the leg was al
'cOOdoH one! Although this joke was a sore one]
for the society it did not injure the reputation
Of Tar as a remedy, for its legitimate cures were1
so wonderful that odes were written in its praise
and the celebrated Bishop Berkely published two
yoluminous works describing, endorsing, and3
registering its virtues. From the failure ofI
scientific men, at that period, to extract and
concentrate the curative principle from the
crude tar its nauseousness caused it to fall into
disusc, and its great healing powers were lost toI
mankind until Dr. l.. q. C.. Wishart succeeded
in depTiying the specific of its unpleasant and
crudcr particles, and in his PINE TREE TARl
CORDIAL Offering to the afflicted all that was
valuable while the other parts were elmnatedI
by lis careful preparation. As soon this was
accomplished the remedy was again endorsed by
the faculty, and the cures were such as to con-
vert its enemies and firmly establish it as one o.
the greatest blessings to suffering humanity. Id

THE JEWISH New YEAR.-The Israelites will cele.
brate their "ROsh Ha ShOna," or commencement of
the Jewish Civil Year, \. NJ $500, in two days
tember ., The Sacred Year begins in the spring, its
the Civil ear and answers generally to the moon
of March and April. The origin OF the present New
Year observance is to be found in the 23d chapter OF
Leviticus ;"And the Lord spake unto Moses saying,
In the seventh month"; in the first day of the month,
shall ye have Sabbath memorial of blowing of
trumpets, a holy convocation." The term se0enth
month is used, because from the time of the depar
ture from Egypt the ecclesiastical year was made
10 begin at Nissan, to commemorate the month
wherein their deiverance had been wrought. Itshrt,
although thus counted the seventh month in reli
gous Observances, is nevertheless the first month OF
the year. and the anniversary of the creation of the
world. The cornets or trumpets which were
sounded on the New Year were not those OF silver
which had been made for use in the Tabernacle, but
were made OF rams horns memorial OF the animal
which was offered instead of Isaac, when Jehovah
tested Abrahams faith and the anniversary OF which
event is on the second day OF the New Year. The
day is also called day of memorial because at the
close Of one year and the commencement OF the
next all mankind should bring to mind their actions
of the past, and after solemn review or faults ana
frailties, enter, as 1t were, anew into covenant
with their Maker, the great King OF Kings, Creator,
and Governor of the whole universe. The New Year
also commences the ten days Of penitence, the last
Of which is called ''YO1t Kipur," or Day OF Atone

pressive character, and even the lukeWarm lsraete
