GENTLEMAN FARMING.

Very pleasant to talk about. Why don't one hear
OF gentleman printers, gentleman merchants. gen
tlemhn doctors, and gentleman everything else F.:
The great popular mistake of those who talk of
gentlemany farming is, that they suppose tile
practical farmer to be boor OF necessity, and that
his calling is vulgar one. unfit for an educated
mind; yet when sublimatcd by intelligence, cduc;-
ton and refined associations. may be made respect
able "Gentlcman farming" is a rank humbug as
any other profession trade would be- followed
IN the same fashion-that is, by hanging sign,
furnishing the shop store or office with its stock

boys to take of, while the principal goes about

TIE DUTCInIAN's INsURhNCE.-A story is
told of Il German who had taken the precau-
ton to insure the life of his wife for 81, 900.
and his stable for 5000, believing the former
might die and the latter be burnt, and he
could not get along without some compen-
sation for the loss. Both policies had been
taken from the same agent. In Il few months
after the stable had been insured il was de
stroyed by fire. Schmidt quietly notified the
agent, and hintcd to him that he would ex-
pect the 5000 at the earliest possible moment
The agent ut once sent q carpenter to ascer-
tain the cost Of erecting a new stable of the
same dimensions, having ascertained that the
property had been insured for more than it
was worth. The builder reported that he
could replace the stable with new material
for 800, but unfortunately there was an or
dnancc preventing the erection of frame
buildings-thc old stable having been of
wood He was asked to estimate the cost 0t
a brick stable. and reported the amount of
$50, The agent then notified Schmidt that
he would build him q new brick stable in
place of the old frame one, but Schmidt be-
came very indignant at the proposition, say
ing:
II do not understand the insurance bust
ness. | pay you for nine hundred dollars.
and when my stable burn down you make
want nine hundred dollars"
The agent reasoned with Schmidt, but all
to no purpose. When the stable was about
finished, Schmidt went to consult lawyer,
thinking that he could still get the amount
of the policy, besides having the new stable
The lawyer, however, informed him that
the company had u right to make good the
loss by building new stable, and expressed
surprise at bringing suit against them
But" said Schmidt, II insure for nine
hundred dollars, and dis fcllar put up dem
shtable for seven hundred and fitty-G do not
understand the insurance business"
Finding that he could not compel the pay
ment by law he became disguised with the
insurance business altogether. Calling upon
the agent Schmidt said
''Mr. Agent want you to stop dem nsur-
ance on mine trow. do not pay any more
monish dat way; | not understand this insur-
ance business"
Agent Surprised, why, Mr.. Schmidt.
you are doing very foolish thing You
have paid considerable on this policy already,
and if your wife should die you will get

''Yaw, dat ish vat you tell me now" said
Schmidt. "Ncn | pays you on my shtablc
