OUR FARM TooLs.-The amount of
machinery which a hundred acre farm
now requires is SO costly that the proper
care of it becomes an item of great i'm
portance. At this time of the year the
farmer needs to set his tools in order,
and put them in condition and in a
place where they will not deterlorate by
keeping until again wanted for use.
The tools, such as the reaper and
mower, and other haying and harvesting
machines, with such ploughs, wagons,
scrapers, harrows, cultivators, rakes, &c.
that will not be wanted again until next
year. should be housed and at the first
leisure time they should be fully over
hauled, cleaned and oiled, to prevent
rusting. In order to properly and eco
nomically care for his tools, the farmer
should have a workshop where the
painting and repairs may be done with
comfort, in cold or stormy weather.
Besides tools for working wood, the
farmers shop should be fitted with a
forge. so he can work iron. By good
care and personal supervision farmer
owning and using a thousand dollars
worth of implements can save yearly in
their wear and repairs more than seven
per cent. interest on their cost. simply
by taking good care of them, and the
saving in time by having them ready for
use when needed, will be as much more.

A MAN WITH SET OF TRETH IN HIS
BowELs.-Two weeks ago, a man named
Charles Pickel, employed in Newark,
New JERSEY, swallowed his upper set of
false teeth. He was attended by DIR.
Cutter, whose efforts to get the teeth
out we're unsuccessful, and he could do
nothing more than direct his patient to
confne his diet to milk, and take each
day about pint of sweet oil. The DIR.
called upon Pickel frequently. expecting
to be called upon, when the teeth should
lodge at some impossible point in the
bowels to perform one of the most dan
gerous and painful operations known to
the profession. 1t was generally sup
posed among physicians that the void
ance of the teeth, attached as they were
to plate weighing 100 grains, was an
impossible event hence the astonishment
of DIR. Cutter few days since, when he
learned that his patient no longer need
ed his services. The gold plate was con-
siderably tarnished, owing to the action
of the acids of the stomach, but other
wise it seemed none the worse for its
progress through forty feet of intestines.

THE LITTLE GRAVE.

ats only little grave" they said;
"Only just a child that's dead"
And so they carelessly turned away
From the mound the spade had dmade that day.
All they did not know how deep shade
That little grave in our home had made.
know the coffin was narrow and small
One yard would have served for an ample pail
And one man in his arms could have borne ava
The rosebud and its freight of clay.
But l know that darling hopes were hid
Beneath that little coffin lid.
know that mother had stood that day
With folded hands by that form Of clay;
know that burning tears were hid
''N ath the dropping lash and aching lid:
And know her lip, and cheek, and brow,
Were almost as white as her baby's now.
know that some things are hid away
The crimson frock and wrapping gay,
The little sock and halfworn shoe,
The cap with its plumes and tassels blue,
An empty crib with its covers spread,
AS white as the face Of the sinless dead.
'Tis little grave; but O.! beware
For worldwide hopes are buried there;
And yc, perhaps, in coming years,
May see, like her, through binding tears,
How much of light, how mnch of joy,
Is buried with an only boy

HOME AND FRIENDS.

o, there's power to make each hour
AS sweet as heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it.
We seek too high for things close by,
And lose what nature found us;
For life hath here no friends so dear
AS home and friends around US.
We oft destroy the present joy
For future hOpes-and praise them,
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
If we'd but stoop to raise them,
For things afar still sweeter are,
When youths bright spell hath bound US;
But soon we're taught that earth hath naugh
Like home and friends around us.
The friends that speed in times of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
Do show US still that come what WILL
We are not quite forsaken.
Though all were night, if but the light
From friendships altar crowned u.s.
'Twould prove the bliss if earth was this:
Our home and friends around us.

According to the census of 1870 the
wealth of the fifteen states washed by
the Ohio, Mississippi and Missouri rivers
aggregates S1O,819,170,914, and the
population of these states reaches nearly
100000. giving them 129 of the
292 members of the lower House of
Congress. Ohio, Illinois and Indiana
are the three wealthiest states of the
western division. The growth of the
states washed by the rivers mentioned is
illustrative of the power and resources
Of our country. In thirty years, accor-
ding to existing ratios, the United States
will have 1O7. 100000 inhabitants
The Report of the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, shows that there are
four persons in Vermont engaged in the

And is this all? Where were these

in other sections is anywhere in
proportion to the number we have heard

one in the woods upon Walden noun

of in this county. Portable ''stills" are

The rate at which the few leading
