HIVE H.OU COT TH.rT DROU.ve

A Yankee walking the streets of Lon
don, looked through a window upon a
group of men writing very rapidly; and
one OF them said in an insulting manner,
"Do you want TO buy some cape seed?"
Passing on a short distance, he met a man
and ask ed him what the business of the
men was in the Office he had just passed.
He was told that they wrote letters dictated
by others, and transcribed all sorts of doc
uments in short they were writers. The
Yankee returned to the office, and inquir-
ed if one of the men would write letter
for him, and was answered in the affi rm-
alive. He asked the price and was told
one dollar. After considerable talk the
bargain was made; one of the conditions
of which was that the scribe should write
just what the Yankee told him to, or he
should receive no pay. The scribe told the
Yankee that he was ready TO heein; and
the latter said:
"Dear marm," and then asked, Have
you got that deo1n?"
"Yes," was the reply, 'go on"
~ went to take ride 'other day; have
you got that deoun?"
"Yes, go on, go on.'
"And | harnessed the old mare into the
wagon; have you got that deoun?"
Eyes, yes; 30 on"
"Why how fast you write And 1 got
into the wagon, and sot deoun, and drew
up the rens, and took the whip in my
right hand; have you got that deoun?"
"Yes; long ago; go on"
"Dear me, how fast you write! never
saw your equal. And 1 said to the old
mare. go long and jerked the reins pret-
ty hard. Have you got all that deoun?"
"Yes; and | am lmpatently waiting for
more. l wish you wouldn't bother me
with your foolish questions. Go on with
your letter."
"Well the old mare wouldn't stir out of
her tracks; and hollered to her, go long.
you old jade go 'longp Have You got
that deoun?"
eyes, indeed, you pestersome fellow go
on"
"And I lick ed her, and licked her, and
licked her." and he continued to repeat
these words as rapidly as he could speak
them, until he was stopped by the scribe,
who told him he had already written two
pages of clicked her." and he wanted the
rest of the letter.
"Well," said the Yankee, land she kick
ed, and she kicked, and she kicked :" and
he continued TO repeat these words until he
was again stopped by the scribe, who told
him that he had already got several pages
of 'she kick ed'' and told him TO proceed
with his letter. The Yankee then employ
ed his tongue in maAing the noise by which
horses are urged to move, and continued
his rapid repetition for some time, when,
seeing the scribe throw aside his pen, he
said, "write it deoun, write it deoun."
"The scribe replied, 81 can't"
"Well, Them" said the Yankee, II won't
pay you"
The scribe gathering up his papers, said,
| "What shall do with all this paper on
which have written your nonsense?"
The Yankee replied, "You may use ii in
doing up your cape seed" and bid the
scribe and his companions good morning.

hold work. When at a marriageable age,
they can talk, sing, play the piano, and are
full OF romance and poetry, but as to the
details of household work, they are totally
ignorant. The making of loaf of good
bread is a formidable, if not an impossible
feat the preparing and roasting of piece
of meat is similar mountain of despair,
and if a servant is employed, there is no
one competent to supervise or direct her,
and waste and failure rule in the kitchen.
Sour bread and poorly cooked food work

WHITEwAsHING.-A farmers journal
gives the following receipt for making a
superior whitewash: Take clean, water
tight barrel, or other suitable cask and put
in it half bushel of lime. Slack it by
pouring water over it, boiling hot, and in
sufficient quantity to cover it five inches
deep, and stir it briskly till thoroughly
slaked. When the shaking has been effect
ed, dissolve it in water, and add a solution
of two pounds of sulphate of zinc, and one
of common salt. AS it is often desirable to
vary the monotony by introducing a varie-
ty of colors upon the premises, it may be
important to know that n beautiful cream
color may be communicated to the above
wash, by adding to it three pounds OF yell
low ochre; or good pearl or lead color by
the addition of lamp, vine, or ivory black.
For fawn color, add four pounds of umber
Turkish or American (the latter is cheap
esD, one pound Indian red, and one
pound lampblack. For common stone
color, add four pounds raw umber, and
two pounds lampblack. The value of the
sulphate of zinc is that it makes the wash
harden better after it is put on. Some also
put in half pound of common alum 9TH
ers substitute the alum for the zinc. There
is no mode of making farm buildings at
tractive so cheaply as with whitewash, and,
at the same time, ofaddng greatly to the
preservation of the wood. The above wash
cannot cost over iiny cents, and ifliberally
used it will add five hundred dollars to the
market value ofa farm. We can conceive
of but few things more beautiful than clean,
white farm buildings and fences in con-
trast with rich green Of budding spring.
