of their attire and disposition and taste it

"A fellow was onced asked what inference

An opponent OF "Woman's Rights" says
it is great convenience to have women tor

In New jersey town, number of poll
ticians, all of whom were seeking. office under
the government, were seated under tavern
porch, when an old topper named Joel D., a
person who was loquacious when corned, but
exactly the opposite when sober, said that he
would tell them a story. They told him to
"fre away" whereupon he spoke as follows:
A certain king-I don't recollect his name
had philosopher upon whose judgment he al
ways depended. Now it happened that one
day the king took it into his head to 60 hunt
ing, and summoning his mobiles and making the
necessary preparations, he summoned the phil
osopher and asked him if it would rain. The
philosopher told him that it would not, and
they started. While journeying along they
met countryman mounted on a jackass.
He advised them to return, "for," said he,
cit will certainly rain" They smiled con-
temptuously upon him, and then passed on.
Before they had gone many miles, however,
they had reason to regret not having taken the
rustic's advice, as Il shower coming up drench-
ed them to the skin. When they had returned
to the palace, the king reprimanded. the phil
osopher severely.
Il met countryman," said he, "and he
knows great deal more than you. He told me
it would rain, whereas you told me it would
not"
The king then gave him his walking papers,
and sent for the countryman, who soon made
his appearance. >.
"1eil me-" said the king, Chow you knew it
would rain"
"I didn't know" said the rustic, "my jackass
told me So"
"And how, pray, did he tell you?" asked the
king =,
the rustic
The king sent the countrynlan away, and pro-
curing the jackass of him, he placed him (the
jackass) in the Office the philosopher filled.
"And here, observed Joel looking very wise,
"is where the king made great mistake
Chow so?" inquired the auditors.
"Why, ever since that time," said Joel with
q grin on his phiz, "every iackass wants office" :"

GA Word at the Garden Gate.,,

The following gem, from one of Wendell
Phillips speeches, might be read with profit In
every family. Phillips may be erratic, politi-
cally wrong and all o that thing, but it cannot
be denied that as an orator he is unsurpassed.
For instance his Grafton on Daniel O'Connell,
who, like himself was an agitator, but who,
unlike him, failed to bring about political
revolution. Philips has his strong points, his
noble qualities of head and heart, as we'll as
his rashness and radical ideas. He is ever
pleading on the side of the weak and oppressed,
and in this respect, to certain extent, follows
in the footsteps of O'Connell. But read the
following extract, and then form your own
opinion of Wendell Phillips:
A mother, on the green hills of Vermont,
was holding by the right hand son, sixteen
years old, mad with the love of the sea. And
as he stood by the garden gate one morning, she
said:
Edward, they tell me-for never saw the
ocean-that the great temptation of seaman's
life is drink. Promise me, before you quit your
mothers hand, that you will never drink
"And," said, he, for he told the story, II gave
cutta and the Mediterranean, San Francisco
and the Cape of Good Hope, the North Pole
and the South; saw them all in forty years
and never saw a glass of sparkling liquor that
my mothers form by the gate did not rise up
before me, and to-day l am innocent of the
taste of liquor"
Was not that sweet evidence of the power of
single word? Yet that is not half "For,"
said he, yesterday there came into my count
ing-room man of forty years"
7tDo you know me?"
"No."
"Well," said he, '1 was once brought drunk
in your pre- sence on shipboard; you were pas
senger; they kicked me aside; you took me to
your berth and kept me there till had slept
off the intoxication you then asked me if I
had mother. said had never known a
word from her lips. You told me of yours and
the garden gate, and to-day I am master of one
of the finest ships in New York, and came to
ask you to come to see me-"
How far the little candle throws its beams.
That mothers words on the green hills of Yer
montl God be thanked for the mighty power
of single word

STABLE MANURE.-Many of the stables
throughout the country are built OF logs, or
the cheapest kind of framing, without any floor
ing except the hard earth. The manure is usu-
ally thrown out in pile daily, or at least two or
three times week, exposed to rains, and thus
becomes worthless by the time it is carted out
to the field or garden. We would suggest
simple, and at the same time very effective,
method of preserving this manure with all its
enriching qualities Litter the stall well, and
allow everything to remain in the stable. AS
soon as the bedding is tramped down and sat
urated, apply other bedding-straw being pref
erable but if not convenient, leaves answer
good purpose. Very soon the amount of ma
nure is sufficiently thick to absorb all of the
droppings. The stall should be we'll protected
against rains, and an occasional addition OF dry
muck, charcoal, or even pulverized dry clay,
should be made, to prevent the escape OF am
monia. When the beds are renewed once or
twice week, the horse has comfortable stall,
and the amount of TIE very best stable manure
thus collected, even from one animal, would
astonish almost any one. 1t will accumulate
to the depth of two feet frequently, and is
worth five times as much as the same amount
exposed to the sun and rain for weeks and
months. AS this plan requires no outlay OF
money or labor, all our farmers, with nothing
but covered pens for their stock, should try it.
Concentrated stable manure is the best tertili-
ger we can get, either for the field or garden,
and should not be exposed to rain or sun for
even day, but should be plowed in as soon as
removed from the stall. During the season
when but little can be done in the garden, the
manure heap should receive special attention,
and everything added to it that has any enrich
ing properties To save manure successfully,
there should be covered house or even a rail
pen, covered, will llanswer. Build it in some con-
venient location, and into it throw the sweep
ings off the yard, the rakings from the lot and
wood pile, the cleanings from the smoke house,
Over this pour the slops from the bedroom and
soap-suds from the wash tub Thus economic
ing everything that contains the elements of
fertility, small family will soon collect enough
manure to enrich large garden.-7He PIanta-
ton.

as he climbed to his fathers knee and looked

The father leaned his head OH his hand and
was silent. He owned broad acres of land that
was covered with a beautiful produce, his barns
were even now filled with plenty, his buildings
all well covered by insurance but, as if that
would not suffice for the maintenance of his
wife and only child IN case of his dccease, he
had that day taken a life policy for large
amount, yet not one thought had he given TO

Maxims for Beginners in Farming.

The Ouachita (La.) Telegraph gets off the
annexed maxims for the benefit of planters
with call cotton" on the BRAIN
Planters, generally, understand their busi-
ness. AS there may be few, however, who
do not, we offer them little gratuitous advice.
It is well settled maxim that corn grown in
the West, is better than that grown here. 1t
comes further and goes further, grain for grain.
As crop for twelve or thirteen months corn
will not answer at all. Planted in March, you
can't work it safely after June, and you are
bound to get it out of the field in October or
November at the farthest otherwise it will rot.
AS a manure for next years crop, peas or cot
ton is much better.
Corn is Objectionable, because it does not
need any bagging or ties you can't send your
wagons to market fifty or sixty miles, If you
raise corn, and bring back pork, bacon, lard,
etc.
Corn is good provender for stock, but not
so good as cotton seed, and they are just the
thing to make soon pork of pigs.
In the spring, when the weather is not warm,
and the earth loose and dry, as in summer,
corn must necessarily be worked. It will not
watt and go through "June sweat" like cot
ton.
Horses and COWS grow much fatter on cotton
blooms than upon green corn, and roasted
cotton boil is superior, as an article of diet, to
a roasting ear. Little children will cry before
they are out of their little BEDS for roasted cot
ton bolls. Try it.
In the summer, fall and winter, you will have
very little to do, if you plant corn. You will
be compelled to keep your hands employed, to
improve your fences, set out orchards, raise
stock, build out-houses and lots, and do other
wholly unnecessary things, so as to kill time
until the next planting season opens, Or, II
you prefer it, you may reduce your laborlng
force, and curtail your pay roll. This, how
ever is never desirable to a country where
there are no taxes to pay-like ours, "for in
stance
1t is result of growing corn, that the coun,
try always has a surplus stock of poultry, OF
meat and some money to lend at interest, or
to invest in public works. 1t is much better
to buy provisions in the West, for cash, to op-
crate at home upon credit, with one eye on
bankruptcy, and to appeal to foreign capitalists
to build your railroads, etc.
1t is grand thing to have a commission mer-
chant, and to support him liberally-and let
your minister and his old horse starve! =,
"What's the price of cotton?" How could
you ever ask that question, filling your mouth
with the words, if you should make fool OF
yourself by raising good crop of corn? Peo-
pie would laugh at you. And how could you
ever draw draft, and have the thrilling pleas
ure of having your draft "protestedW
"My fathers house." said little boy to
another, "is finer than your fathers, cause it's
rot cupola on it." 'No it amt finer, cause
my fathers house has got a mortgage on itP'
If you raise plenty of corn, you will never get
to the eminence of mortgage on your house,
and YOU will die without big succession for
the lawyers and courts to fight over.

Lise,s Better, Moments.

Life has its moments
Of beauty and bloom;
But they hang like sweet roses
On the edge of the tomb.
Blessings they bring us,
AS lovely as brief,
They meet us when happy,
And leave us in grief.
Hues of the morning,
Tinging the sky,
Come on the sunbeams,
And off with them fly.
Shadows of evening
Hang soft on the shore;
Darkness enwraps them,
We see them no more.
So life's better moments,
In brilliance appear,
Dawning in beauty,
Our journey to cheer.
Round us they linger,
Like shadows of even;
Would that we, like them,
Might meltinto Heaven.
