not particularly fast, but think he will get
me through the Holy Land. His tail has been
chopped off, or else he has set down on it too
hard sometime or other, and has to fight flies
with his heels. This is all very well-but
when he tries to kick fly off the top of bis

SECRETS OF THE STOMACH.-A great many

SOApsUDs -Soapsuds, although generally
deemed only fit for being run off into the COM
mon sewer in the easiest manner possible, are
nevertheless, highly beneficial vegetable feed
ers, as well as useful insect preventatves.
They should never be wasted, especially by
parties having gardens, as their application to
the ground, either III winter or summer, will
show benefcialy, not only on ordinary vegeta-
BILE crops, but also on berry bushes, shrubs,

SQUIRE GREEN IDEAS OF SOME THINGS
If editors and public speakers could say
just as much with half the number of words,
We should know quite as much, and have a
great deal more time to sleep.
Those who deal in Patent Rights are very
apt to find out they have invested in patent
wrongs.
What is every day is common what is once
in a while is a rarity.
Set all your traps: plant corn, potatoes,
beans; sow rye, oats, &c !; keep cattle, sheep,
and hogs. Something will do well; you will
get something somewhere.
No use to write tor agricultural newspapers
and neglect to feed your hogs.
Never say that you have done planting as
long as the bars to the field are not put up.
1t is an old saying that woman can throw
out at the window with a spoon faster than a
man can shovel in at the door. 1t is more

rich or not

and is successful, he will say he was smart !;
but his neighbors will say he was lucky but il
he does not succeed WELL he will say he was
unfortunate but his neighbors will say he wa,

was boiling with her eyes full of tears which
he had wrung from them by some moving
story. While he was listening in rapture to
her singing, she would break off in the middle
of verse to ask him what she should cook
for supper; and he would never forgive her
having once interrupted him while she was
