A Young Lady Enjoys Herself.

There is nice town, just bolow
Quincy; good town, a growing
town, an entcrprisingr town. Its
name is Hannibal. 1t has mn enter
prising young lady. There was q
patty given thercabouts sometime
ago. The aforesaid young lady
thought she would enjoy the fun to
be derived from passing herself off
for a young man, just arrived from
a strange locality. But the male
portion of the party penetrated the
disguise, and Immediately set their
wits to work to have q little sport
over the affair. Il seems that hor-
sos had been stolen in the neighbor-
hood, and they caused the report to
be whispered about, taking good
care the disguised woman should
hear It. Finally the report that the
thief was probably in the room
went'the rounds. Tho young lady
was pointed out, and the yell was
set up--"Ihere he is now" Revot-
vers werc drawn in an instant. and
the lady presuming they were really.
serious, and not wishing 10 be ex-
posed in company, also fearing that
they would shoot her without ccre-
mony, sprang out Of the room and
ran for home. The pistols were f.
red in the air and the fugitive presu-
ming the next shot might be fatal,
pulled off her cap, let down her hair
and screamed at every jump@rffi Il
woman; don't you SEQ my hair
The boys were SO excited by laugh
ter that they could neither shout
nor longer run. They haulted but
the disguised woman continued to
run, screaming at the top of her
voice;
"Pm womanl don't you see my
hair"

CATs-Wc were never intend
ed for an old maid For we dctest
cats. In fact they are our pet
abomination. We never could un-
derstand why Noah permitted them
to skuIk into the Ark. There were
no old maids in there, and only one
pair Of rats, The feline race ought
to have been overwhelmed in that
great catastrophe, and found a res
ting place in the general cat
acombs. Then we would have had
some peace, Then the-cat-
erwauling OF these feline monsters
would never have disturbed our ro-
sy slumbers, and might be made
hjdcous" The cat call would new
cr have been heard in our places
Of amusement; cat-mint would have
never grown, and we would never
make mistakes when looking for
sweet-mint and straws. If they
could only have been submerged it
would have been a cat-aplasm to
our perturbed spirits, and on that
occasion we would not have been
a cat-abaptist. Why were they
not lost in that cat-aclysm ? But
we will not enter into a catalogue
Of our grievances, else our sensitive
soul might start another deluge. -
Let it " Requics-cat in pace"
Roses require rich, well-drained
soil. For summer blooming, the
Tea and China roses are best, but

bloom in the spring only,arc the
finest. Get them on their own

Rheubarb should be transplanted
every two or three years, or the
stalks produced will be quite small.
The work may be done at almost
any season. 1t is better to do the
work in the spring, before the
plants have started much; but if
not, then any time until the first or
middle of June. Some growers
are in the habit of pulling the rhu-
barb for market, and after the crop
is secured, then transplant for the
next year. This plant must have
very laage amount of manure tc
give the best results.

The Independent Farmer.
When first the rose in robes of green
Unfolds its crimson lining;
And round his cottage porch is seen
The honeysuckle twining;
When hanks Of bloom their swee ness yiol,
To bees that gather honey,
He drives his team across the field,
When skies are soft and sunny.
The bisekbird cluks behind the plow,
The quail pipes loud and clealy'
Yon orchard hides behind its brow
The home he loves so dearly
The gray and old barn doors unfold,
His ample store in measure.
More rich than heaps of boarded gold,
A precious, blessed treasure:
While FOUNDER in the porch there stand
His wife, the lovely charmer
The sweetest rose on all his land -
The Independent Farmer.
To him the spring comes dancingly,
To him the summer bushes,
The autumn smiles with yellow ray,
His sleep old winter bushes.
lie care not how the world may move,
No doubts or fears confound him
His little flock is linked in love,
And household angls round him;
He trusts to God and loves his wife,
Nor grief nor i'll may harm her,
He's nature S nobleman in life -

Low NeCkcd Dresses.

The low nccked dresses Of the la
dies arc made the theme of small Jokes
by certain chaps. In our opinion, il
is with the ladies matter of taste,
which they might be allowed to in
dulgc at their discretion; the wit who
would rdicule them had better look
at home, and as they live in glass
houses, abstain from throwing stones.
If they don't like to see the ladies let
them look another way. There was
grand party at Madame Pa. q short
time ago, and the mass of the ladies
present were extremely lowiy minded
so low were some Of them disposed
to go, that Spindle says to his friend
Shanks
Did you ever see the like"
No." said Shanks, " | noverdid--
at least, not since | was wcoaed.'
This is outrageous; but presently
the chaps met the belle of the evening
"a splendid creature--and Spindle
exclaimed:
"What a galary of beauty
"Well, / declare says Shanks,
"you have the advantage of me. |
thought galaxy included constel-
lation Of beauties"

On they passed, and soon encoun-
tered magnificent woman, with such
frank developments as to leave no
room for doubt as to the quality Of
her charms.
"Thcrc,'' says Spindle, "is the f.
nest woman in the house"
"Fact,' says Shanks, "shc OUT
strips all the rest"

At different times We haycpuh-
lishcd statements detailing the re-
suits Of careful experiments made
with a view to testing the value Of
ashes, lcachcd and dry, as a fertiI-
izer By using It on different crops.
For instance. Mr., Quimby, sta
ted sometime ago in the Massachu-
sctts Plouphman, that the applica-
ton of three hundred bushels Of
leachcd ashes per acre, increased
his wheat crop fully one hundred
per cent. These results, probably,
are exceptional and due in great
measure to very favorable circum-
stances of a local character, but
there can be no doubt that ashes,
both leached and dry are useful,
though there is not an agreement
as to their comparative value. As
a matter of general interest and for
the benefit more especially Of our
readers in other sections, we eX-
tract from an article on the subject
of "Leached Ashes" in the follow
ing statement by an experienced
practical farmer of that State.
Again in the spring of 1866, |
planted six and three-fourh acres
of beans on one field, six Of which
was planted in corn and potatoes
the previous year; the remaining
| three-fourths Of an acre was in
grass, small strip on one side
about four rods wide When |
ploughcd the strip of grass land, |
drove around the outside, conse.
quently ! left clearing up furrow
spread ashes, part leachod and
Tart dry. The other side | spread
manure, the same as on the rest of
the field. sixteen loads per acre.
On fourteen rods of ground, |
spread fourteen bushels dry ashes
one bushel to the square rod; on the
next fourteen rods | put twenty
eight bushel Of leached ashes two
bushel to the rod. Here | will
state that | seeded the whole field
to grass the last time of hoeing, as
| am accustomed to- do. With the
bean crop there was quite a differ
ence in favor of the dry ashes,
With the grass crop the first season
| did not realize much difference.
The second year | did not notice
it at all, | did not think Of it; but
the third time of moving it,Icould
not help noticing it. Where the
leached ashes was put on the grass
was very Lighter as you might say,
all run out, but where the dry ash
es were used, the crop 'yas good,
filed thick with white clover as It
could be. | should think twice the
hoy that there was where the leach
ed ashes were used, and fully
equal to the manure. This is my
experience with leached ashes,
where have used it to seed with
grass in August, as | have done a
number of times. About twoyears
will exhaust them, while dry ones
will show four or five. For flat
turnips | think that leached ashes
will pay as well as any crop you
can put them to.

BELIEVE THE BEsr.--TTe who thinks
better Of his neighbors than they de-
serve, cannot be a bad man, for the
standard by which his judgment is
formed is his own heart. 1t is the
base only who believe all men base,
or, in other words like themselves
Few persons, however, are altogether
evil. Even Nero did good turn to
somebody--for when Rome was re-
ioicine oYer his death, some loving
hand covered his grave with flowers.
Public men are selG1m, or never fair
ly Judged, at least while living
However pure, they cannot escape
calumny; however incorrect, they are
sure to find eulogists. History may
do them justice, but they rarely get it
while living, either from friend or foe.

Aud swiftly hid from me the form
That stood once by my side
win any bid me wait
Hopeful, upon the shore,
Watching for what this wider sea
Upheavng may restore?
iTwere for less vain to seek
The pearl lost that day
Life gives me much to prize, but not
The FREUD | east away.
