Conversion to Judaism in Boston.

Prussia, twentyeight years old, called upon the Rev.
DR.. A. Alexander, minister OF the Congregation
Mlshean Israeli in Boston, and desired to

authorized committee, aud, with courage, he went
through the ceremonies and entered IN the covenant

A Yankee Trick.

One of our peculiar slab-sided
gaunt Yankees lately emigrated and
settled down in the West. He was
the picture of mean man; but as
he put himself to work in earnest
to get his house to rights the neigh
bors lent him q hand. After he had
got everything fixed to his notion, "a
thought struck him that he had nc
chickens, and he was powerfully
fond of sncking raw eggs. He was
too honest to steal them, and toe
mean to buy them.
At last a thought struck him
he could borrow. He went to a
neighbor and thus accosted him:
oval, / reckon you hain't got an
old hen, nothin' you'd lend me for
a few weeks, have you, neighbour
II will lend you one with pleas
ure," replied the gentleman,p picking
out the very finest in the coop.
The Yankee took the hen home, and
then went to another nelghbor and
borrowed dozen eggs. He then
set the hen and in due course of
time she Matched out a dozen chick
ems.
The Yankee was again puzzled;
he could return the hen, but how
was he to return the eggs? Another
idea-and whoever saw q live
Yankee without one-he would
keep the hen until she had laid a
dozen eggs.
This he did and then returned
the hen and eggs to their respective
owners, remarking as he did So
"Wall, l reckon I've got as fine a
dozen of chickens as you ever laid
your eyes on, and they didn't cost
me 4 cent nuther.

Preserving Stoves in Summer.

In the Scientific Convention at
New Haven. Prof. Olmstead stated
that resin added to lard gives it a
fiuidity not before possessed by the
lard, and also prevents the latter
from forming those acids which cor
ode metals. Several important
practical applications result from
property. 1t is applicable to sur
faces of sheet iron, He found a
very thin coating, applied with a
brush, sufficient to preserve Russia
iron stoves and CRATES from rusting
during the summer, even in damp
situations. He usually adds to it 4
portion of black lead, and this pre-
paration when applied with brush,
in the thinnest possible film, will be
found a complete protection TO
sheet-iron stoves and pipes.

Reasons Why Married Men
Outlive Bachelors.

DR.. Hall, in his health articles,
gives the following reasons why
married persons live longer than
those who remain single:
Bachelors are always in state of
of unrest; they feel unsettled. If
indoors after supper there is a sense
of solitariness, inducing sadness,
if not settled melancholy, with all
it's influences; and many hours in
the course of the year are spent in
gloomy inactivity, which is adverse
to a good digestion and vigorous
and healthy circulation. His own
chamber or house being so uninvit-
ing, the bachelor is inclined to seek
diversion outside, in suppers with
friends, in clubs which are introduc
tories to intemperance and licen-
tiousness, r,of those more unblush-
ing associations which, under the
cover of darkness, lead to speedy
ruin of health and morals; and
when these are gone, the way down
ward to an untimely grave is rapid
and certain. On the other hand,
marriage lengthens mans life by
making home influences inviting;
by the softening influences which it
has upon the character and the af-
fections; by the cultivation OF the
better feelings of nature ,and in that
proportion saving from vice and
crime. There can be no healthful
development of the physical func
tions of our nature without mar
riage; it is necessary to the perfect
man, for Divinity has announced
thati it was mot good for man to be
alone"
Marriage gives a laudable and
happy object in life, the provision
for wife and children, their present
comfort and future welfare, the en-
ioyment witnessing the happiness,
and the hourly participation in af-
fectionate interchange of thought
and sentiment,and sympathy; these
are the considerations which antag
onize sorrow and tighten the bur-
dens of life; thus strewing flowers
and casting sunshine along its path
way.
Voltaire said:
"The more married men you have
the fewer crimes there will be. Mar
riage makes 4 man more virtuous
and more wise. An unmarried man
is but half a perfect beiDg,and it re-
quires the other half to make things
right and it cannot be expected that
in this imperfect state, he can keep
the straight path of rectitude, any
more than boat with one oar can
keep a straight course. In nine
cases out of ten, when married men
become drunkards, or where they
commit crimes against the peace of
the community, the foundation of
these acts was laid while in single |
state, or where the wife is, as is |
sometimes the case, an unsuitable
mate. Marriage changes the cur
rent of q mans feelings, and gives
him centre for his thoughts, his
and his acts. Here is a
home for the entire man, and the
interest of his better half will keep
him from erratic courses, and from
falling into thousand temptations
to which he would otherwise be ex-
posed. Therefore, the friend to
is the friend to society and
TO his country

Green Grass Makes the Best

There is probably no part of the
farmers labor that requires the ex-
ercise of greater judgement than
this, since upon its successful ac-
complishment depends the condition
and welfare of the stock. There is
no one but has noticed with what
avidity the herd will devour the
richly perfumed, well cured hay,
and with what 4 disrelish they at
tempt to sustain life, perhaps by
eating musty, y,unsavory fodder. Now
is it not a question, whether hay
can be cut too early, from this fact,
that it is generally considered that
the aftermath or rowen is the best
hay that can be given to milk COWS,
increasing the flow of milk consider
ably more than the hay from mature
grass. 1t is said that in some por-
tiOns of Switzerland where the fields
are irrigated las many as six or seven
tons of hay are cut from an acre by
cutting as many times, which is as
soon as the grass has a fair growth,
and long before it even arrives at
the period of blooming. One thing
is certain, that cattle, when left to
roam the pastures and select their
on food, instead of selecting the
more mature portion as their free
choice, invariably choose the young
er and more succulent, so that, in
time the pasture presents the singu-
lar appearance of being covered in
parts with matured hay, and in
others closel " grazed; nor is this
peculiar to cattle alone, since the
same desire pervades the horse and
sheep kind. So, then, the desire of
so far as it can be express
ed, seems to favor 4 young growth.
fact, too, is frequently no.
ticed, in the change from pasture to
the stable and rice refsa, and again
in the fall fattening of stock by
pasture alone, which the most sue
cessful farmer would little think of
doing by feeding of hay. Now all
Of this would seem to point to the
necessity almost, to say nothing of

PAYMENT of Small Bills.

The following from the New York
Journal Of Commerce is well
adapted to every locality: There is
far too much negligence everywhere,
about the payment of small amounts
of money. 1t not unfrequently
happens that men will have a small
account charged, when they have
money sufficient in their pockets to
pay it, and subject the creditor to
the trouble of sending it for collec-
tion when he needs it, taking the
chance of learning the debtor is
away from his place of business, or
from home, and perhaps subjecting
him to the imputation of being in a
needless hurry for payment.
More attention to this point, and
especially by those to whom the
time of payment is immaterial, who
can pay at one time as well as an
other, would be vast improvement
upon the present mode of many per-
sons in doing business.
The prompt payment OF small bills
is a matter of much more import
ance than is generally attached to it.
There are not a few who, in times
when business has been little de-
pressed, and the prospects for the
future seem more than unusually
unsettled, will hold on to their cash
in hand, and tell all the collectors
who wait upon them with overdue
bills to ''call again" while the pay
ment would not give them any seri-
Gus Inconvenience and would great
ly accommodate a large and deserv-
ing class of creditors.
Indeed, we know of nothing that
in a quiet way would go so far to
give life to the markets throughout
the country as the universal pay
ment of these obligations at the first
opportunity. If all the little debts,
for the discharge of which the debt
ors now have the cash in hand, were
paid at once, the wheels of business
would be fabricated, and general
jollity" soon prevail throughout the
land. The first serious effect of
any public excitement comes from
the sudden check of these little
streams. 1t is true that large trans
actions are arrested, but if every
body went to paying these little
debts the check would be but mo-
mentary, as business would be forced
along by the current thus continu
ally renewed. Let every one whose
eyes fall on these lines pay out his
ready money for bills he knows to
be due, and stop not until his pock
ct be emptied. Probably before this
is realized the return current will
reach his pocket too, and he will be
able to fulfill all his obligations;
there is as much money as ever.
Who stops its flow? Let it move on
by prompt payment of all bills now
due, and new business will catch
the inspiration and start off upon
fresh gallon.
