LARGE FARMs.-One of the rocks on
which many fail, is to have too much
land. 1t is much safer to be crowded
for room-to have no room to plant
anything, as is often remarked-than
to be spread out to the extent we COM
monty see. This is true of rented land;
but more particularly SO of ground
which we buy. 1t is q very common
thing for one who has a thousand dol
lars to buy land worth two, mortgage
half; and leaving little spare cash to
work on. The land is but half culti-
waited, and the resulting crops but one
half what they ought to be, while the
labor is double what half the ground
would have called for. Here there is a
four fold waste; and instead of paying
but six or seven per cent. for money, it
brings up the actual cost to near TWEEN
ty, under which one soon fails.
For our part, we ARE rather in favor
of young man starting in life with
but little cash capital, buying a farm
with some mortgages on it, providing
he has determination to pay that
mortgage off as soon as he can turn
round. Thousands of men now own
property who would never have done
so but for the necessity of thus exert
ing themselves. Their earnings would
have went some how away. 1t is hard
to resist family opportunities when ev-
erything is dear; but when there is
something which must be met the dis
position to save receives strong sup
port from the glaring fact Philadel-

B An Irishman was looking about
the ruins of a burnt confectionery es-
tablishment in Nashua, New Hamp-
shire, when he spied a box of lozen-
ges, still in a fair state of preservation.
He picked up the box, but preliminary
to make off with it the bright idea &C.
cured to him to be sure the lozcnges
were worth purloining. He picked out
roll, broke it in two. and crammed
his mouth as full of lozenges rs the
Cranchitts did of spoons. In mo-
mcnt more the box was hurled to the
ground accompanied by the exclama-
ton: "Be CORA, they are hot yet y

Signs BY the Hands.

The person who will carefully study
the wrinkles, burrows, lines and hol
lows of the hands will be able to tell
fortunes as well as any modern gypsy.
If the palm of the hand be long, and
the fingers we'll proportioned, etc, not
soft, but rather hard, it denotes the
person to be ingenious, cl,angeable,
and given to theft and vice.
If the hands be hollow, solid and
we'll knit in tho joints; it predicts
long life; but if overthwarted, then it
denotes short life.
Observe the finger of Mercury-that
is, the middle finger, ifthe end of it ex-
ceeds the joint of the ring finger, such
man will rule in his house; and his
wife will be pleasing and Obedient to
him but if it be short and does not
reach the joint, he will have shrew,
and she will be boss.
Broad nails show the person 10 be
baseful, but of gentle nature.
Narrow nails denote the person to
be inclined to mischief and to do inju-
~ to his neighbors.
Long nails show person to be good
natnred, but distrustful, and loving
reconciliation rather than differences.
Oblique nails signify want ofcourage.
Little round nails denote obstinacy,
anger ard hatred.
Ifthey are crooked at the extremity
they show pride and fierceness.
Round nails show n choleric person
yet soon reconciled, honesty, lover
of secret sciences.
Fleshy nails denote person to bt
mild in temper, idle and lazy.
Pale and black nails denote per.
son to he very deceitful to his neigh.
bors, and subject to many diseases.
Red and marked nails signify {
choleric and martial nature, given t.
cruelty and as many little marks al
there are specks so many evil desires

adversely 10 Watt. Read failed to pay
his rent last summer, and Watt took the
whole wheat crop irJm tho ground. and
was subsequently sued with the result
indicated. Tho landlord was naturally

instead Of diminished. On Thursday

axe was taken from him and his skull
split open from the front. A man named
John Swipborn, who was working not far
from the place, heard the blow and an
accompanying cry Of alarm, fastened to
the spot and is stated to have seen Watt
running away. Pursuit was Immediately y
comm opced. Reads death had been
instantaneous with the striking of the
blow, and tho tragedy occasioned wide
spread horror and Indignation. A large
number Of parties Joined ip the pursuit
Of Watt, who had escaped on his horse
and found refuge in the Oasge hills. HI
