A Rare Copartnership.

One Of the best farms in Franklin
county is owned and managed by two
brothers, whose locks are now silvered
by many years Of honest labor. Their
well-kept lands extend over hundreds
of acres, including some of the most
fertile pastures, where Craze in the
summer seventy-fve or eighty head of
young cattle-One of the best herds Of
Durhams to be found in New England.
Hundreds of acres Of woodland are
covered with a heavy growth Of tim.
Der, aud instead of being pillaged and
robbed by the invading axe, are in
creasing in value every year. Exten-
sive orchards are in the best bearing
condition, and frequently contribute
over thousand dollars to the annual
income. They own Il dairy Of some
twenty cows, and the golden butter
produced is some of the best that finds
its way to the Boston market. Each
Of these brothers has family, and
they reside IN two grand old farm
houses in close proximity, beneath the
spreading branches of magnificent
elins. But what seems little remark
able in this age of greed and seliishness,
is that the relations Of the two fami-
lies are always most friendly and in
perfect harmony. They share every
thing in common, There is no divi-
sion of the proceeds Of their well.pay-
ing farm. Either draws for the wants
Of himself and family, as the occasion
requires, without any particular con
sultation with or permission of the
other. There is confidence and a
reliance upon the Integrity Of each
otner that is as rare as it is beautiful.
II member Of one household is sick,
be or she is cared for as tenderly by
those from the noighboring house as
by those beneath the same roof. There
is no finding Of fault because some
may think they are doing more than
their share Of the common work. As
the wife of one Of the brothers is an
invalid, the management Of the dairy
has fallen to the lot of the other; but
this extra duty is charged as a matter
of course, and is the source Of no un.
pleasantness. Each Of the brothers
has son, and it is probable that the
grand old farm will be transmitted TO
them still undivided, and thnt the
same pleasant family relationship viii!
be continued for another generation.
We doubt if a like instance Of happy
co-partnership can be found in the
country Greenfield (Mass) GG=ette

"How?" queried the listener, He

the conversation drifted into reminis
cences of the war.

CLAY AND THE GoAT.-Formerly Il
very large, well.known, and somewhat
noted billy-goat roamed at large in
the streets of Washington, and the
newspaper boys, boot blacks, and
street imps generally made common
cause against him. Henry Clay new
liked to see dumb animals abused or
worried, and OH one occasion, while
passing down the avenue, a large
crowd of these michievous urchins
we're at their usual sport, Mr.. Clay
with his walking,stick drove them
away. giving them good sound lee
ture ia the meanwhile. AS they scam
pered and scattered in every direction,
Billy, seeing no one but Mr.. Clay
within reach, made a charge on him.
Clay dropped his cane and caught his
goatship by the horns. The goat would
rear up, being nearly as high as the
tall Kentuckian himself, and the lat
ter would pull him lown again. This
sort of thing soon became tiresome,
and he could conceive Of no way by
which he could free himself from the
two horned dilemma, SO in his despera-
tion he sang out to the boys to know
what to do. One of the smallest in
the crowd shouted hack: "Let 60 and
run, you id fool p Clay always
maintained that though he signed the
treaty of peace at Ghent, yet that rag
ged boy knew more than he did.
A facetohs individual not many
miles from Danbury, sought to "draw
his wife out" by pretending to be
found dead, with an empty laudanum
phial by his side. And the lady was
a good deal shocked at first, out hav-
ing read that needle introduced into
the human flesh, would indicate on
its surface whether that flesh was dead,
and being a woman Of eminent prac-
ticability, she at once armed herself
with a polished Instrument Of nearly
two inches growth, and with throhbing
heart and bated breath introduced a
good share of its length into the de-

needle really indicated was not learn

son or thereabouts visited the city on
business, and in the course Of his
pereginations purchased a package Of
Roman candles for the purpose Of
amsing his progeny on his return. His
fireworks were carefully deposited in

thereafter he wended his way to the

ed his left coat tail against the red hot
stnve, and trouble Immediately ensued.
The first rocket narrowly missed the
face of a native who was in n comatuse
condition, caused by much extract of
hop, and, without waiting to inquire
into particulars, he made the door in
two gigantic leaps. All the occupants
of the room Immediately endeavored
to follow his example, and, with a
worthy determination not to be dis.
tanced, the proprietor Of the candies
forced himself into the midst Of tho
thong endeavoring frantically to es-
cape. In the meantime the candles iiz.
zed and popped, giving strength to the
evident impression that the party was
being bombarded with some sort of al
internal machine; and, strange as it
may seem, the innocent cause of all
the trouble was the worst frightened
man in the lot. Not until fearful
holes had been burned in the broadest
portion of his neither garments, and
the epidcrmis looked as though
strong mustard plaster had been pull
ed oil violently, did he discover the
cause Of the panic. Order was finally
restored, though the effects on that
mans coat tails were disastrous and
we are are also informed that his un-
mentionables required immediate
half.soling, The victim was willing
to testify that not one Of the candles
missed fire.

The Value of a Newspaper.

The following is the experience of a
mechanic, concerning the benefits of a
newspaper:
Ten years ago I lived in town in
Indiana. On returning home one night,
for / am carpenter by trade, | saw a
little girl leave my door, and | asked
my wife who she was, She said Mrs.
Harris had sent her after their newspa-
per, which my wife had borrowed. AS
we sat down to tea, my wife said to me
by given name:
II wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper, it is so much comfort to me
when YOU are away from home"
81 would like to do so, said |, but
you know l owe a payment on the
house and lot. 1t will be all | can Do
to meet it.
She replied
"If you will take this paper, I will
sew for the tailor to pay for it"
] subscribed for the paper; it came
in due time to the shop. While rest.
ing one noon, and looking in it, | saw
an advertisement of the county com.
missioners to leta bridge that was to
be built.
| put in bid for the bridge, and the
job was awarded to me; on which |
cleared three hundred dollars, which
enabled me to pay for my house and
lot easily, and for the newspaper. If l
had not subscribed for the newspaper,
would not have known anything about
the contract, and could not have met
my payment on my house and lot, A
mechanic never loses anything by tax
ing a newspaper.

AFTERNOON IN MARCH.

BY II. W. LoNuFELLow.
The day is ending,
The night is descending;
Tho marsh is frozen,
The river dead.
Through clouds like ashes,
The rcd sun flashes
On village windows
The glimmer red.
Tho snow recommences,
The buried fences
Mark no longer
The road DER the plain.
While through the meadows,
Like fearful shadows,
Slowly passes
A funeral train.
The bell is pealing,
And every feeling
Within me responds
To the dismal knoll.
Shadows are trailing,
My heart is bewailing
And toiling withinj
Like Il funeral bell.

An Ingenious Instrument,

Droz, a mechanic Of Geneva, pro.
ducea a clock which cxcelled all Others
in ingenuity. On it were seated a ne
gro, a shepherd and dog. When
the clock struck, the shepherd played
six tunes OH his flute, and the dog APP
preached and tawned upon him. This
wonderful machine was exhibited &c
the King Of Spain, who was greatly
delighted with it
"Tho gentleness of my dog" said
Droz, SIS his least merit. If your
Majesty will touch one of the apples
which you see in the shepherds basket,
you will admire the animals fidelity"
The King took an apple, and the
dog flew at his hand barking so loud
that the Kings dog, which was in the
room, began to bark loudly. At this
the courtiers, not doubling that it was
an affair of witchcraft hastily left thn
room, crossing themselves as they de.
parted. Having desired the Minister
Of Marine (the only one who ventured
to remain) to ask the negro what
o'clock it was, the Minister did so, but
obtained no reply. Droz then observ-
ed that the negro had not yet learned
Spanish, upon which the question was
repeated in French, when the black

prodigy the irmness of the Minister
also forsook him, and he retreated pre-
cipitately, declaring that it must be
the work Of supernatural being.

Mr.. Beeeher does not think it an
evidence Of special Christian grace to
be willing to die. Nor does he think
It natural for the young and those full
of these activities Of life to desire to
die. He says it is better 10 be willing
to live and do the duties of life. When
Paul said 1t was better to depart be
was an old man and in prison. II an
October pippin says it Is ready to
drop, Is that any reason q little green
apple in June should be ready? All
the representations OF the New Testa-
ment about death are full Of cheer and
hope. For Paul TO die was to go to
Christ. Dying is not growing short
of breath and feeble Of pulse; it is fly
ing up to the All-loving Soul of the
Universe. It is going to sweet COM
panionship. We struggle on through
the world, finding little companion
ship, but we 90 to the spirits of just
men made perfect. We 90 where all
the conditions lift US up to q realm OF
nobility. There all is in accord. There
/ Is no selfishness, no hardness and
| crudeness and rudeness of revenge; all
are working up with one sweet i'm
pulse, with one great genial creative
force Of divine love. These thoughts
ring in my soul like the bell of far.
on city drawing me thitherward. Dy-
| ing Is the easiest thing men do. Suf-
feriug Is in life; but, as 8 rule, men
die as easily as q door turns npon its
hinges. Dying is going home; not
to supineness, not to oriental luxury,
but to supreme activity, where every
part is developed and cultivated in
realm of love. Bless God for the privil-
ige Of dying! My brother Charles,
who was always in q dying mood,
once congratulated my father upon
the fact that he couldn't live much
longer. Umph said the old man.
don't thank any Of my boys to talk
to me that way. I don't want to die.

The family Of Dutchman In Iowa
having frequent occasion 70 employ
q physician, the head Of the family be-
came quite familiar with the made Of
writing prescriptions. The doctor
was one OF those mixtures of farmer
stock raiser, and physician, not un-
common in the country; but eXercis
ing very little care in the management
OF his cattle, which told wonderfully
against his pecuniary interests, while
the Dutchman's herd, being well fec
and well housed, was in very fine
condition. The doctor was not slow
in observing the difference, and sug-
gested to the farmer that he thought
something was the matter with his
cattle and requested him to ride over
and tell him what TO do for them.
The farmer very cheerfully promised
to do 80 at q given time, and when
that time arrived be was promptly on
hand. It SO happened that the doc
tor had been called away. The
Dutchman, however, examined the
stock very carefully, and then looked
in all directions for suitable and then
food without finding either. Deduc-
ing the conclusion that hunger and
cold, with lack Of care, were suffering,
he entered the Office Of the doctor and
left the following prescription:
'cR-GoOd shelterum, q s,
Corn mealum, q s,
Pure waternm, q s.
Apply corn mealum in form OF
pOuitice to mucus membrane of the
stomach and renew twice a day.
The prescription worked wonders.
1t pleased the kind hearted doctor, re
stored the stock to good condition, and
paid q very large share of the bill which
had been incurred in doctoring tine
equally good nstured and witty
Dutchman's family.

Here is an anecdote told by one
minister about another. A certain
presiding elder, who was noted for
being seldom up to time, seldom
very animated and seldom very brief,
once kept s congregation waiting q
long time for his appearance, and
when at last he did come be preached
them very prOsy sermon Of usual
length on the text. "Feed my
Lambs" He had not yet finished
when that original old minister
known as "Camp meeting John'i
rose from s seat in the congregation
and said : 'iBrother, I have had some
experience in raising lambs myself,
and have found that the following
rules are absolutely essential to snc-
cessful lamb raising First, give them
their food in season second, give
them little at q time; and third,
give it to them warm"
