\ CALCULATING BRIpEGROoM I've
known some very mean men in my time.
There was Deacon Overrrach: now he
was 81 mean he always carried hen in
his gig box when he travelled to pick up
the oats his horse wasted in the manag-
er. and lay an egg for his breakfast III
the morning Aud then there was Hugo
Zimmerman. who made his vile di@ po-
tatc- 10 pay tor the marriage license.
mus tell you that story Of Hugo. tor it l.
not "A bad one, and good stories, like
potatoes, amt a. plenty as they used to
be when | Wa, boy. Hugo Is neigh
hor of mine, though considerably older
than he, and 4 mean nei.hbor he Is
too. Well when he was going TO get
married to Gretchen kulp, he goes down
to Parson Rogers, at Digby, TO get a
license.
"rarson," said he, ''whats the price
Of Il license p
''SiN dollars, said he.
"Six dollars " said Hugo, chats 4
dreadful sight Of ot'money. Couldn't you
take less !''
NO" said he, that's what they cost
me at the Sccretary's office at Halifax.
''Well, how much do you Ak for pub
lishin in church, then -
Nothing, said the parson.
"Well, said Hugo, THAT'S 50 cheap
can't expect to get any change back. |
think I'll be published, How long does
il take -
Three Sundays"
''Three Sandys," says Hugo; ''well,
that's long time too. But three Sun
days only make Il fortnight after all two
for the covers and one for the inside Ike
and six dollars is i great amount OF
money ior a poor man TO throw away"
s. off he went, a Jogging toward home
feeling about as mean as new shearel
Ashcep-when ali at once bright thought
come into his head land back he went Us
fast as his horse could carry him.
'Tarson," said he, ''ive changed my
mind. Here's the SIX dollars I'll tie
the knot tonight with my tongue that l
cannot unite with my teeth
"Why, what in natur' is the meaning
of all this ~
why" said Hugo, 'Ive been 'ci-
pherin' it out in my head, and lis cheap
er than publishing after all. You see,
sir, it's potato digsin' time if l wait tc
be called in church, her father will have
her work for nothi =, and as hands are
scarce and wages big, if l marry her TO-
night, she can begin to dig our own TO-
morrow, and that will pay for the license
and just seven shillings over; for there
ant man in all Clements than can iii.
and carry as many bushels in a day a
Gretchen can. And besides, fresh wives
ke fresh servants, work like smoke a
first, but then.they get saucy aud lazy
after while" ."-N0ra Scotia Paper.

But a. twtcc rs many animals may be

income from these extra animals is ali

Inc profit on jhc second COW would be

times that of one And we have no
doubt that the profits ot 4 stock farm by
soiline are, at least, three times that of
the same farm by paslurlng
SoilIug should bc introduced gradually,
by netting fields prepared for it-adding
:, lev, extra animals AT first, and thus
changing easily from one system to the
other. We do not propose to soil an
nual- on very rough and hllly land, nor
upon cheap Western land, (where it is
cheaper TO employ herdsman,) but only
Oh such lands as are readily titled and
valuable. But no man can afford TO
pasture smooth lands that are worth so
per acre. Tins system Is peculiarly
adapted to small truit farms. This IS
the cheapest way Tor these farmers to
obtain most OF their manure. The an
imuls Will pay all their expenses and
leave reasonable profit, besides fur
pi-hing the manure free.
This system, judiciously followed will
settle the veNcd ques:i3n; ''Does farm

sOILING CROPS.

Economy of labor in soiliug requires
the crops to be raised where they are to
be fed. A few acres near the barn should
be made very fertile, and then used in
rotation for the different soiling crops.
Here the labor OF manuring them will be
less, aud the convenience OF feeding much
greater. Winter rye, where it fiourishes,
will furnish the earliest cutting Of green

BY RADICAL FANATICS IN BIoUNr
CouNrY.-On Sunday morning the 9Th
OF May Mr.. Bays hau an appointment
to preach in Logan's chapel. This
becoming known to the Radicals in The
vicinity, they determined that 10 mitia
ter of the God Of Heaven who belonged
to the Southern Methodss should
preach IN Logan's chapel, although that
place Of worship belonged TO tho Metho.
dist Episcopal Church South. &c.
ccrdiDgly, preparations were made To-
prevent Mr.. Bays from preaching.
Early Sunday morning large crowd Of
@htes end blacks collected heeh,se .h...'
church. Having got possession Of tho
keys, they entered, and akng ont the
benches. piled them against the doors
and the windows Of tho church, thus
efectually barricading every way Of
ingress. The crowd was armed with
bludgeona, PISTOLS and knives, the lattey
weapons being carried opened IN thcir
hands. Threats and curses were loudly
uttered to the effect that they would NOT
allow "any damned rebel preacher to
speak in that church," on airy where else
that they could prevent. And they
