HOW AMASA LOST THE BET.

Not thousand miles from jamaica Plains,
L. L., lived Lem Seaver Bob Emmons and
Amasa May. Lem was fond Of shooting.
could shoot well and was rather proud Of it.
1t happened on Il bright October day that he
had been hunting the cover on the Newton
side of the pond, and came out by The old
barn where Bob Emmons was at work. After
!, little talk, Lem LETT his gun and iNings
standing outside, and went into the barn to
look after the cattle, and finally passed thro'
to the cider-mill, which stood lust beyond,
for a half days tramp in the woods makes a
man dry, you'd better believe. While he
was gone Bob, who was always at the bot
tom of all the deviltry done in the vicinity,
dropped an extra charge of Shot into each
barrel of the gun and stood 10y waiting for
fun. Presently Anlasa came up the road
with new hat on The halt-formed plan
that floated in the brain of Bob was instantly
completed and put INTO action, as follows;
Hailing Amasa, Come, quick y says he,
''let's have some fun with Lem. Well draw
out his shot and bet he can't hit your hat"
Capital, good idea. replied Amasa. Lem
thinks he can shoot; we'll open his eyes hey?'
Bob carefully drew out all the shot he had
just put in, and put the gun back where he
found it. just then Lem came back, having
sucked cider enough to make himself com
Portable, and prepared to 90.
"Hallo! Lem, said Amasa, 'what are YOU
toting that shooting iron about tor?"
"Oh! it's q way | have" replied Lem :
sometimes | get chance to shoot, and then
most always hit'
''Bet you can't hit my hat-six rods ex-
claimed Amasa; ''bet an oyster supper for
the boys to-nightm
Done" said Lem; .set it up"
b.,t a ,I 4
the six rods, almost bursting with suppressed
laughter at the imaginary idea of Lens looks
when he should find that he couldn't hit the
hat at six rods; Bob, also chuclling at the
prospect of success of his plan, and Lem
pleased with the idea of winning the bet
He brought the gun up to his face to fire
Double your bet, and give it both bar
relsr' says Amasa.
.Ayc! aye" replied Lem, and he let drive
right and left in quick succession. Before
the smoke rolled away Amasa jumped for
ward, with a shout and laugh, to show Lem
that he couldn't hit Il hat in broad daylight.
But where was it. Bits of fur here and
there, and miserable, dilapdated wreck of
hat that looked as if all the woodcocks in
Norfolk county had stuck their bills through
it, was the sight to greet his eyes. The sud
den and instaneous change of his counten-
ance told Bob who had lost the wager.

THE FALLEN CASTLE.

Go, summon our luckiest leaders,
Give weapons to willing hands;
In call of our Wariest castle
An alien army stands.
Our note of alarm and defiance
How little the legion heedsi
No sentinels reckon their minutes
How careless captain leads!
All night an occasional drum beat
Rcbuked us over our wine;
His bugles have troubled the morning,
His bayonets lean in line.
All! what if he saw that our bastions
Have never a faithful gun!
Or, what if he knew that our standard
Hath never battle wont
Quick, summon our heartiest captains,
Put weapons in any hands;
For here Mt the gate Of the castle
That alien army stands.
L0 into the castle of Error
A legion carried its light;
The name of it, Truth and Honor,
And the foremost captain, Right.
A thousand like places OF ours,
Great leader, remain to be Won--
But thousand like armies, advancing,
Are favored by star and sun.
'Twere better to level our ramparts
And beckon the conqueror in;
Then lower forever the standard
That will never battle win.

ment to all. All rotted much except two kinds
the Bermuda and Gleason; Early Rose among the
rotters.
Mr.. ingalls,, OF Bangor, said the question Is which
is the best variety TO export. We want quality,
size and durability. Bangor exports annually
100000 bushels. The Jackson our original
market potato the Orono has almost entirely taken
its place, though Western dealers still send for the
former.
In reply 10 Mr.. S. l.. Goodale, several stated that
the Early Rose rotted badly with them.
Mr.. Putnam said he kept his potatoes and yege-
tables fresh the year round by putting them in bar
relS and filling them with sand.
Much discussion was had respecting the Harri-
son. resulting in much disagreement to its quail
y, productiyeness, rotting propensities, &c
Some recommended to put the potatoes in heaps
in the field and cover with earth, to remain till risk
of freezing, then remove to cellar; others to put
them into the cellar at the digging and cover them
with sods there Both were recommended as good
Some of the exhibitors were II. S. Goodale, Mas

New England Fair at Portland; 4. B. Stackpole,

HINTS ON WINTER MANAGEMENT OF
SHEEP

There are a few things very essential in keeping
flock of sheep in thriving condition during the
wiuter season. The first will mention, and by no
means the least in Importance, is comfortable shell
ter. Stock of any kind, subjected to the cold and
storm, require greater amount Of food to keep up
the animal heat, and are much more liable to dis
ease and death than those who have comfortable
quarters; and setting aside the pecuniary interest
to the farmer whose stock is well housed he has the
satisfaction of knowing (when he sits down of an
evening III his easy chair and hears the cold, pierre
ing wind whistling outside) that his animals are
not hudded together under the lee of some fence,
or the run OF stack, being covered by the drifting
snow but are in warm barns or sheds chewing
their cuds. bidding defiance to the wintry blast
without. If we were to estimate the surplus of
feed that is required in wntering stock in the rough
outdoor style, the figures would no doubt astound
many.
Regularity in feeding is quite essential to keep an
animal quiet, and greatly assists in improving the
condition and preserving the health of the same
They will do better on inferior keep if fed with strict
regularity However abundantly provided for when
e flock are foddered sometimes at one hour and
sometimes at another, then again three times day.
and sometimes once, some days grain and others
none, they cannot be made to thrive. One thing,
which is overlooked by many, is in not feeding nc
cOrding to the state Of the weather. the keener the
cold, the more the sheep will eat. The inattentive
feeder will allow hay to accumulate in the racks, to
the detrment of the flock while the judcious feed
er will give no more than will be eaten up WELL A
constant attendant flock of sheep can soon tell
what that flock require In mild or cold weather and
feed accordingly. Many think sheep will do as well
without supply of water, but find they will do
much better with it. Unless they have access to
succulent food or clean snew, water is indispensa
BILE. 1t is well where one can, to have sheepbarn
located in a small-sized lot, with brook or creek
running through it. Extra care taken with sheep
will pay ample returns of heavy feeces, fine SYM
metry of form. and healthy animal to look upon.

NATURAL SCIENCE.

| OXYGEN. This simple element is an invisible
gas ike the air, and takes its name from word
| meaning to make sour; because this gas, uniting
with certain things is the cause of nearly all the
| acids in the world
II is never found in nature by itself, but mixed
with other things for so great is its affinity or like
ness for most Of the other 60 elements that it is Of
ten hard to prevent the union All your contri-
vances to keep metals from rustng, meat from
spelling, cider beer and bread from souring, is on
y to keep the oxygen from entering and effecting
those changes in the things; and when it does thus
unite with any thing the process is called oxidation
and the thing is termed oxide.
You know you get no fire without the free access
Of air to the fuel This is all owing to the oxygen
of the air. ahont Oneffth of it being pure oxygen.
This burning, fire or combustion, as is yarously
called, is all owing to the attraction between the
fuel and the oxygen, heat being set free by the act
of their union; just when lime and water, how
ever cod unite, great heat is evolved. So that
every time o:tygen unites with any thing it is a
true burning. If with substance where the affln-
ty is very great, AS gunpowder, ntro-glyeerine,
&c, you call it an explosion when it is less with
oil. rags, &c, flame; when less STILL as with
wood and con IA fire; when less still, acting by
slow degrees, with ron you call it rust for all
the rusting of metals, the slow decay of animal or
vegetable matters the souring of things is nothing
but slow burning or combustion; simply oxida-
ton. This explains spontaneous ignition or com
bustion. A compound of oil and cotton wool or
rags mas so strong affinity for oxygen, that they
often take fire and consume buildings The same
is true of dry charcoal and wood ashes; many
buildings in this way have been burned, as many
m will he and pyrpDt this Simultaneous
one, been near them. There is great risk of this
in very dry and cold weather. us the oxygen being
then more condensed. all the conditions for this
spontaneous ignition in the same ratio increas
ed And here, think, lies the of ouI
beautiful Indian summer. Each leaf and tender
vegetable thing having by frosts their own matur
ty their affinity for xvgen greatly increased, under
goes slow burning, each sending into the atmos-
phere its little heat the aggregate of which gives
the warm and mellow glow we call =" Indian sum
mer." 1t is the funeral pyre of nature.
And everything on the surface of the globe--the
hardest minerals and rocks all vegetable and ami
nal things--is ever undergoing this oxidation or
burning, the material world is vast furnace for
| furnishing perpetually terrestrial heat; and so
wisely arranged as to mitigate both the heats OF
summer and the rgors of winter for while the
former rarefying the air make the oxygen and SC
the heat less the latter condensing the air augment
both the oxygen and the heat.

LEAVES.

Gather up and save all the leaves possible. If
you have garden and any flowers Or other things
to protect from the cold, nothing equals covering
Of leaves-for this is the blanket nature spreads
over them; and in the spring they are very yalua-
Bile as dressing. If not wanted for this purpose,
they make the very best bedding for stock and ma
nure. In villages and cities thousands now
being driven about by autumn gales, to be lost for
ever unless utilized; in country woodlands they
wait in myriad numbers some industrious hand to
gather and convert them into money.
