JOSH BILLINGS ON THE EFFENINATE
MAN.-The effeminate man is weak
poultice. He is cross between a root
beer and ginger-pop with the cork left
out. A fresh-water mermaid found in a
new pasture with his hands filled with
dandelions. He is tea-cupful of sylln-
bub-a kitten in pantalettes-a sick
monkey with % blonde moustnchc He
is vine without any tendrils-n fly
drowned in ola paper kite in dead
calm. He lives like a butterfy-nobody
can tell why. He is rs harmless us n
cents worth of spruce gum, and as use
less as shirt-bosom without hole. He
is as lazy as bread-pill, and has no
more hope than q last years grass hop
per- He goes through life on tip-toes
and dies like cologne-water split over the
ground.

The aurora borealis was recently visi-
BILE in England, and excited great as
tonishment among the more intelligent
classes Of the population. A traveller
who happened to be in Leicestershire at
the time found the Inhabitants of GER
tain village gazing intently at the pho
nomenon. One of these observers said,
"There is France for you" The ira
ge!er vas rather taken aback, but found,
upon inquiry, that the villagers all be-
lieved the red light in the sky to be the
reflection of Paris on fire. It is evident
from this that the news of war in
France has already reached Leicester
shire, which shows how fast news travels
nowadays. One of the villagers said,
Cad. how it burns," and another ex-
claimed, They've a gettin' it hunder
now" But the superiority of intelli-
gence over ignorance was most striking
~ shown in the case Of the schoo ool- master,
who was looking at the sky through o
telescope. As the traveller passed, he
made the following remarkable obser7s.
tion: ''It is rum, and very sublimely 80;
bat, the-asseg, I can't make 'em believe
it is only the Southern Cross" Here is
man or genius going to waste in the
vilds Of Leioestershire, and no one tries
even to send him to Parliament. Yet in
England they pretend to enjoy free insti-
Sasione.

Cause of UnElappiness.

Harsh Judgment, rough words, small
but frequent acts of selfshness and injustice
sometimes quite poison the heart that from
Used to be healthy, and curse the start at
promised to be blessed
There are families that possess every
earthly comfort health, money. and occu-
pation-but are miserable from the jealousy
and quarreling that prevail within them
There are married couples who live in daily
sorrow, not because they arc in want, but
because each thinks the other unkind, arbi-
trary, and considerate.
Young people sometimes marry with their
eyes shut; and thus, instead of being mated
with angels, as they foolishly imagined they
might be, they find out afterwards that they
are only men and women, with the common
work a-day weakness and faults Of their res
pectivc sex. This sham love easily gcts
soured, and then each reproaches the other
for not fulfilling the sentimental prospects,
with which they entered into the marriage
state.
Take any of the relationships of life, and
we should find that far the greater part oil
all our sorrow comes from the same cause
Get any one to tell you honestly what gives
him the most annoyance and disqaietude
he will tell you they come from want o.
kindness sympathy, and fellow feeling
He could tell you that he would bear Other
things if he only met with more considera
ton, support, and encouragem Mt from the
people with whom he has to do.

Gone beyond the darksome river,
Only left us by the way;
Gone beyond the night forever,
Only gone to endless day!
Gone to meet the angel faces,
Where our lovely treasures are;
Gone awhile from cur EN- braces
Gone within the gates ajar.
There's a sister, there's brother,
Where our lovely treasures are;
There's a father, there's a mother,
Gone within the gates ajar.
One by one, they go before us,
They are fading like the dew;
But we know they're watching DER us,
They the good, the fair, the true;
They are waiting for us, only
Where no pain can ever mar,
Little ones who left us lonely,
Watch us through the gates ajar.
Gone where every eye is fearless,
Only gone from earthly care:
o, the waiting, sad and cherries,
Till we meet our loved ones there;
Sweet the rest from all our rowing,
Land of light and hope afar,
Lo! our Fathers hand so loving
Sets the pearly gates aJari

FARMING BY RULE.--If farming is sell
ence and a trade, as we believe, then it
ought to be done by rule. It has system
in principle, and it ought to have in practice.
There is time, place aud way for eve
rything connected with the business-and
the best success is to be found in practcng
the best system. Farming is like house
keeping, or chool-teaching or manufactu-
rlng IN this respect--if it is not done sys-
tematlcally it is done to a great disadvan
tage. There is waste and loss at all ends
and corners-the waste in time is very
great the waste in material is much the
waste in produce is not little
How many farmers there are who do
everything by guess or at random. They
plow all soils alike for all crops; they sow
when shey happen to get ready, whether the
season, the soil or the weather lie rig',t or
not; they have no idea of the size Of their
fields, nor the quantity of seed they put on
the acre. They guess it is about right
They have no system of rotation of crops;
no plan for saving manures or fertilzng
their soil 40 way of draining, or of feeding
to their stock the most good with the least
feed; the road is their COW -yard and pasture
the door-yard is their hog-p pen; rail fence
is their only gate; their fowls are every
where where they ought not to be, destroy
ing and wasting their tools, carriages and
harness are always out Of order, and gener-
ally exposed to the sun and rain their
stock is wandering they know not where;
their fences are fast going down or least
going to ruin upruly horses, hogs and
cattle are often breaking in where they
2ught not to be; fence corners and headlands
are growing up with briars and brush
orchards untrimmed gardens are neglected;
weeds grow; crops fail; stock die, tools
break family gets sick expenses multiply;
profits diminish spirits flag home becomes
unhappy-who can tell what does not follow
that is miserable All this may be avoided
by systemtized farming. Every merchant
knows that if his business is not done in
order and in time he is the loser. The far
mer ought to know it In no business is
system more requisite than in farming. The
farmer has to do with fixed laws-they
must be obeyed or he Or his crops suffer-
Order is heavens first law-so it should be
the farmers.

LET US HELP ONE ANOTHER. The little
sentence should be written on every heart,
stamped on every memory. It should be
the golden rule pra cticed, not only in every
household, but all through the world. BY
helping one another we not only remove
thorns from the pathway, and from the
mind, but We ieel sense of pleasure in our
hearts, knowing we are doing duty to
fellow creature
4 helping hand or encouraging word is
less to us, yet it is benefit to others.
Who has not felt the power of little
sentence? Who has not needed the encour-
agement and aid of kind friend? How
soothing when perplexed with some task that
is mysterious and burdensome, to feel a
gentle hand on the shoulder and to hear a
kind voice whispering ''Do not feel dis
couraged, [ see your troubles-let me help
you" What strength is inspired, what
sweet gratitude is felt. and the great diff
Guilty dissolved as dew beneath the sunshine.
Yes, let US help one another, by endeavor-
ing to strengthen and encourage the weak
and lifting the burden of care fran the weary
and oppressed, that life may glide smoothly
on and the fount of bitterness yield sweet
waters, and he whose willing hand is ever
ready to aid us will reward our humble en-
deavors, and every good deed will be as
''bread cast upon the waters to return after
many days" if not to these we love.
