MARRIAGE;

Reflect that sound mind and body are the
most necessary requisites to promote cOnnubial
happiness. Indeed, without these the journey
through life becomes a weary pilgrimage; The
prospect hourly darkens to the view; the mind
becomes Swallowed with despair and filed with
the melancholy reelection that the happiness Of
another becomes blighted with our own.

THE COW AND THE CROCODILE.

A COW and a crocodile having met OF
the banks of river, had violent dispute
as to the merits of their respective places
of abode. The cow naturally preferred
the land. 1t was dry, it was solid, it pro
duced abundance of rich grass. The Gro
codile could not sufficiently praise the river
Its waters, though muddy, were deep, ant
pleasant to the touch, and abounded in life
giving properties. The COW quoted many
learned authorities to prove the dry lane
the proper home for animals. The croco
die, on the other hand, quoted as largely
to show the river to be the best and safest
dwelling place.
"But," said the latter, "since you viii
not be convinced by arguments, you woule
better come down into the water and learI
by experiment the truth of my words. If
on making the trial, you should retain YOU
present opinions, I will abandon my views
as erroneous, forsake the water and dwell
with You, henceforth, on the dry land"
The COW, pleased at the candor of tn
crocodile, went down into the river. =
'|What have you to say, now?" said th'
crocodile. '...,
"That am as much convinced as ever,
responded the COW, "that the land is th'
only place where it is possible for me t.
live" .-.......
"You might have said so few moments
ago, with safety to yourself" answered tn
crocodile, "but now the utterance shall cos
you your lfe."
And the COW, not being able to defent
herself in the deep water, came to an un
timely end. .... ...
"Beware," croaked solitary frog, tha
had witnessed the sad scene. ''Beware o
meeting an adversary on grounds selected
by himself. Concede nothing to the wick
ed, even with the hope of reclaiming then
from vice" Paul Pereqrie.

AN EXCELLENT FERTILIZER.

The Journal of Chemistry says that one
of the best fertilizers used upon the farm
for all the cereal grains and root crops may
be made in the following manner
ssTake one barrel of pure, finely ground
bone, and mix with barrel of good wood
ashes; during the mixing add, gradually,
about three pailsful of water. The heap
may be made upon the aoor of an outbuild'
ing, or upon the farm floor; and by the use
of q hoe, the bone and ashes must be thor.
[oughly blended together. The water added,
lis Just sufficient to iberate the caustic aka
lies, potash and soda, and these act upon
the gelatine Of the bone, dissolving the lit.
tie atoms, forming a kind of soap, and fit
ting it for plant aliment. In this way the
most valuable constituents of the bone can
be made immediately available, and the ad.
dition of potash and soda aids in the for.
nation of fertilizer of inestimable value
A gill of this mixture, placed in hill Of
corn will work wonders. 1t is excellent for
garden vegetables and for all kinds of roots
It will be ready for use in week after it is
made"

THE INFIDEL ANSWERED.

At religious meeting recently conduct
ed by the Rev. Newman Hall, free think.
er who happened to be present rose and
said he came to hear about Temperance, but
in his opinion the man who invented gas
has done more to enlighten the world than
all the parsons. Quite disturbance en-
sued, but friend of Mr.. Hall at once beg
ged for fair hearing even for the objector,
and then being himself called up, he said
"Mr. Chairman-I'm for free thought
and free speech and yonder gentleman has
right to speak and think for himself, as
have. Loud cheers from the friends of
the objector.] That gentleman says he
considers the man who invented gas did
more to enlighten the world than all the
parsons. Well, if that is his opinion, he
has a right to hold it and maintain it. But,
whatever our different opinions, there is a
time coming to US all which we call death !;
when most men are somewhat serious, and
like to get advice and comfort respecting
the world they are going to. Now, when
this season comes to our friend, I would re-
commend him to send for the gas-man."
An immense sensation, with tumult Of
applause followed this sally, which, as Mr..
Hall says, was better than sermon, and
not likely to be forgotten. He adds, that
the impudent boys of the neighborhood
where this occurred, still, when at safe dis.
tance, shout to the man round the corner
of the street, "Send for the gas-ftters y

A.lfOTHER's LOVE.
Men talk ofthe giiYer-cord6f friendshi

Men talk Of. the silver cord Of friendship
of the silkentties which bud young low
ers together-offthe pure saections of hus-
band and wife, ss ifit were durable as ada
msnt, and as pure az the bte of angels
But hasty word, thoughtless action, or
a misconstrued expression, may break the
first; slight neglect, some inconsistency,
or triAing favor denied, may sunder the
second and even the last may be destroy
ed, for the green-eyed monster may find
some entrance and blight the fairest flowers
of this sweetest earthly paradise. ,s !, =
But there is a love which neglect cannot
Lweaken-which injury cannot destroY-and
which even jealousy cannot extinguish.
It is the pure, the holy, the enduring
love ofa mother. 1..
It is as gentle as the breezes Of evening.
It is as firm as the oak, and ceases only
when life's last CLEAN goes out in death
During all the vicissitudes Of this changing
world, in sickness or in sorrow-in life or
in death-in childhood's halcyon days-in
youths untroubled hour-or in manhood's s
vigorous prime-the mother clings with the
same unwearied affections to her child. It
is the same amid the SHOWS and frosts of
Siberia, the temperate and joyous regions
of our own fair land, and amid the arid
sands of Africa. Tho anxious cares and
tender attentions, and oft-repeated words
of mothers love, are not without their
happy influence upon the lives and charac:
ters of their sons. The stern rebuke Of a
Justly offended father may check, for sea-
son, the rising and struggling passions of
youth, but the sacred lessons learned from
a mothers lips are engrayen on the heart,
and retain their power though life; in vir-
tues paths, and even in the career Of vice,
they are continually recurring to our mind,
and bring with them, as further indictments
to good, all the hallowed scenes of child
hood and innocence. Hard is the heart
that will not melt at the recollection Of a
mothers prayers ;'and more obdwate still
the heart of him who, bya course of vice,
can willingly wiring her soul with anguish,
and bring down her gray hairs with sorros
to the grave. = ~..r.

THE PERIL OF TEACHING GRAMMAR.

THE PERIL OF TEACHING GRAMMAR
Mr.. Editor-I have been sendin' my dar
ter Nancy to school to school master n
this nsberhood. Last Friday I went ovel
to the school just to see how Nancy wal
gettin' along and sees things 1 didn''
like by no means. The school master wa
larnin' her things entirely out of the lint
of eddycation, and, as think, improper
I set awhile in the scheol-house and heare
one class say their lesson. They was spell
lin, and thot spelled quite exceedingly
Then oum Nancy's turn to say her lesson
She said it very spry. / was shockt ano
determined she should leave that school
I have heerd that gramer was an uncommon
fine study, but I dont't want any more
grarner about my house.
The lesson that Nancy sed was nothin
but the foolishest kind Nv talk, the ridicu.
lest luv talk you ever seed. She got uE
and the first word she sed wus, II love!
Hooked rite at her hard, for doing so i'm
proper, but she went rite on and sed:-
tsThou lowest, he lowest. and I reckon you
never heard such riggermyrole in youl
life-love, love, love, and nothing but love-
She sed one time, 81 did love"
SEE I, 'Who did you lover" Then the
scholars LATED, but I wasn't to be put off,
and sed, 'swho did you love, Nancy? ]
want to know, who did you love?" The
school master, Mr.. McQuillister, put in,
and he said he would explain when Nancy
finished the lesson. This sorter pacyfed
me, and Nancy went on with awful iuv talk.
It got wus and wus every word. She Sed,
81 might, could, or would love-" "
I stopped her agin, and sed / reckon ]
would see about that, and told her to walk
out of that house. The schoolmaster tried
to interfere, but I wouldn't let him say a
word. He sed I was fool, and nockt
him down and made him holler in short or
der. I taukt the strate thing to him. !
told him Pde show him how hede learn my
darter gramer.
I got the nabers together, and we sent
Mr.. McQuillister off in hurry, and / reck.
on that there'n be no more gramer teachin'
in these parts soon. IF you know of any
rather oldish man in your region that don't
teach gramer, we would be glad if you would
send him up. But in the foeter we will be
keerful how we employ men. Young
schoolmasters won't do, especially if they
teaches gramer. It is bad thing for
morils. Yours till death,

er in Illinois, he and the Judge once got tc
bantering one another about trading horses,
and it was agreed that the next morning
at 9 o'clock, they should make trade, the
horses to be unseen up to that hour, and nc
backing out, under forfeit of $25. AT
the hour appointed, the Judge came up,
leading the sorriest looking specimen of q
horse ever seen in those parts. In q few
minutes, Mr.. Lincoln was seen approaching
with a wooden saw horse on his shoulder
Great were the shouts and laughter of the

claimed, 'Well, Judge, this is the first time
ever got the worst of it in horse trade.

TAKING UP TREEs.-The following rela,

accords with the views we have often ex;
pressed, but they cannot be repeated toe
often; they were given at recent meeting
of agriculturists at New Haven.
can enormous amount of money is lost
to tree purchasers from rude and unskillful
taking up. Trees are often torn up by the
roots, as if the trunk and branches were the
one thing necessary, and the roots super,
Auous. The proper way is, to open trench
on each side of the tree with common
spade, keeping the edge towards the tree, sc
as not to cross root. These trenches
should be far enough from the tree to avoid
the main roots, and deep enough to 60 be.
low all except the tap root, which may be
cut off. This being done, the tree may be
pulled up with it's roots entire"

RENovATING WORKOUT LANDs.-What
is the cheapest method of bringing up ex-
hausted lands? In any climate where clo-
yer will flourish, this plant is undoubtedly
the cheapest manure. If you can get
fair crop of clover to start with, your sue
cess is assured. This can be done, in many
cases, by sowing two bushels of plaster to
the acre. IF this does not succeed, bone
dust, Peruvian guano, or fish scrap, in mod
crate quantities, certainly will. The clover
may be turned when little past full bloom,
or be partially fed by cattle that remain on
the field, and ploug he'd in later. Two OF
three crops will prepare the way for grain
