The Model Negro Farmer.

The model negro farmer buys an
old mule or blind horse on a credit,
rents land either for a part Of the
crop or so many bales of cotton,
procures tools as best he can. buys
corn, bacon, etc., for which he gives
a lien on his crop. And then, about
April, he commences to prepare tor
planting corn, either breaking or
laying off in rows, to break out the
middIes after the corn is up. Corn
planting over, he proceeds, some
time in May, to prepare for cotton;
"Cufee, gwine to use any Juanner!
No, bless your life, Pse not gwine
to buy juanDer to put on other folks
LAM" Well, after dinner, some
sultry evening, he saanters from his
hut, and, after surveying his pros
poets, he says: ''Whew! sun gitten
hot; time Use plantin' my cotton"
Hitchcs up his mule to his one
horse cart, and off he goes to hunt
cotton seed. Well, after cotton
planting, then for a fish and hunt.
Some June Monday morning he
wakes up about one or two hours
by the sun, and, after breakfast, he
bitches up his mule to run round
his corn; after treating his cotton
in somewhat the same way, he pro-
ceeds to chopping. Then for an
other big frolic, to say nothing
about going to his meetings and to
town every Saturday. After this
fashion he gets through the year.
lie then takes what little cotton to
market he makes and sells it tor
provision bills, returns his mule TO
its former owner, and goes home
broke, consoling himself by saying
"If 7 didn't gi: any money, Use
had a heap of freedom" lie takes
down his plank and fire coal, and
figures thus:
@ is naught, 5 is o figure,
All for de account, none for de niger.
lie lays his plank back up in the
crack, and while reaching out for
the poker to pull out his potatoes
from the fire, he breaks out whist
ling his favorite song
Niger work hard all de year,
White man tote de money, etc.

"7herefore, be 1t resolred, That

A BEARDED WoMAN's PASSION

has been nightly visitor at the
"Chatelet." Each evening she at.
tended the theatre in the garb of a
man, always occupying the same
seat. She called forth not a little
attention, her long black hair and
beard rendering her an object Of
especial interest. About two months
ago she appeared in an elegant wo'
mans attire, her face closely shaved.
Notwithstanding the change OF
dress, she was instantly recognized
by the gallery, and greeted in a
conspicuous but not satisfactory
manner. From that she was seen
no more, and it was soon rumored
that she was i'll; also that said ILL.,
ness was the result of a violent and
hopeless love for the leading actor
of the Chatclet. On her death-bed
the unfortunate Jacqueline' wrote a
letter to the Commissioner of Po-
lice acknowledging her passion,
which the physicians actually state
was the cause of her death.

Dress Of Our Extremities.

During the damp and cold season,
says Dlo Lewis, deficient dress Of
the feet and legs is fruitful source
OF disease. The head, throat and
liver are perhaps the most frequent
sufferers. The legs and feet are r. fal
m from the central part of the BODY
They are not in great mass, like the
trunk, but extended and developeG
by the atmosphere. Besides, the1
are near the damp, cold earth. Fol
these and other reasons, they re.
qulre extra covering. If we would
secure the highest physiological
conditions, we must give our ex.
tremities more dress than the body.
We wear upon ourl legs in the cold.
est season but two thicknesses o1
cloth. The body has at least six.
Women put on them tour thick.
nesses under the shawl, which, with
the various doublings, furnishes
several more, then, over all, thick.
padded furs; while their legs have
one thickness of cotton, under a
balloon. They constantly come to
me about their headache, palpita-
ton of the heart, and congestion Of
the liver. Recently, one said to
mr., Cali my blood is in my head
and chest. My head goes bumpety-
bump, my chest goes bumpety-
bump"
I asked, GLOW are your feet ?''
"Chunks Of ice," she rel piled. I said
to her: eff you so dress your legs
and feet that the blood can't get
down to them, where eau it go? 1t
can't go out visiting; it must stay
in the system somewhere. OF
course the chest and head must
have an excessive quantity. So they
go "bumpety-bump,' and so they
must go, until you dress your legs
and feet in such a way that they
shall get their share of blood" In
the coldest season Of the year I
leave Boston for a bit ofta tour be-
fore the lyceums-going as far as
Philadelphia, and riding much in
the night, without an overcoat; !;
but I give my legs two or three
times their usual dress. During
the coldest weather, men may wear,
in addition to their usual drawers,
a pair of chamois-skin drawers with
great advantage, When we ride in
sleigh, or in the cars, where do
we suffer? In our legs, Of course.
Give me warm legs and feet, and
I'll hardly thank you for an over
coat.
My dear madam, have you a
headache, a sore throat, palpitation
of the heart, congestion of the liv-
er, or Indigestion? Wear one, two
or three pairs of warm, woolen
stockings, and thick, warm shoes
with more or less reduction in the
amount of dress about your body,
and you will obtain the same relief
permanently that you would derive
temporarily from a warm foot-bath.
Imust not forget to say that a
thin layer of India-rubber cement
upon the boot-sole will do much to
keep the feet dry and warm.

Farm, Garden and Household.

A good many years ago awealthy
farmer owning several hundred
acres Of land remarked to a neigh
Dor that he wished he could hire,
one or two acres for a buckwheat.
patch. That incident shows the
regard in which the crop has been
held by the best farmers. The good
mans soul yearned for buckwheAt
cakes, but he could not make him
self willing to use his own we'll
titled and productive acres on which
to grow the raw material. IF he
did he could not well SOW spring
grain the following season, and un-
less he sowed buckwheat without
interruption he must some time
lose a crop before the patch could
be again seeded. !Buckwheat IS
popularly considered the poormar's
crop. tits almost always got IN On
the least productive land, ,oftenonly
half prepared, and at the last may
be cut OFT by an untlmely frost.

How TO CURE HAMs,-The hams
of Maryland and Virginia hare
long enjoyed high reputation.
Premiums for these hams were
awarded by a late meeting Of the
Maryland Agricultural Society.
Those who had opportunities ofex-
amining the hams report that they
were Of excellent quality. Thecfol
lowing is the receipt after which
those were packed down which re-
ceived the first premium. For one
hundred pounds of pork take eight
pounds Of pulverized alum, two
ounces of saltpetre, two pounds Of
brown sugar, one and a. half OUNCES
of potash, and four gallons Of wa
ter. Mix the above ingredients and
pour them upon the meat, after it
has lain about two days in the tnb.
Let the hams lea oout six weeksin
pickle, and let them dry off q few
days before smoking them. | gen
orally rub the meat with fine salt
when l pack it down. The meat
should be quite cold before lit is
packed in tubs.
PLANTING ORcHARDs.-H it is de.
signed to plant out an orchard this
fall, preparations for it should begin
as soon as possible. The land should
be we'll and deeply ploughed, and,
if possible, subsoiled. If necessity
imposes the choosing of a location
which is not a favorable one, from
the character of the soil as regards
fertility, some pains should be taken
to improve it. To do this well, rot
ted compost or bone dust may be
used, OF all or either Of these, with
such additional supplies of ashes as
may be procurable. Plow under,
and mingle as well with the top soil
as possible. Do not use fresh green
manure. If you have no other, it
will be preferable to plant your
trees and use the manure as Q top
dressing afterwards. Decide upon
the varieties and the proportions
you intend planting, send your or
ders in time to the nursery, and 90
not depend upon any tree-peddler
to take your order. These are not
the proper persons to buy from,
much less to make selections, OF
kinds for you, even if they send
you what they profess:

A Song for the Harvest.
JOHN w. CHADWICK,

Come list to d song for the harvest;
Thanksgiving and honor and praise
For all that the bountiful Giver
Hath given to gladden. our days.
For the grain and the corn in thei
plenty,
For the grapes that were gathered will
song,
For pumpkins so brave with their vel
low,
They had lived upon suhbeams Sc
long.
For cranberries down in the meadow,
And the buckwhcut that famed OF
the hill,
And bluebcrres tempting the children
TO wander and pick them at will. .1I
For the peaches that blush through
their pallor,
Or glow like pretty quadroon,
As they dream of the sun in the morn
ing,
Or welcome his kisses at noon,
For the sweet smelling hay and the
clover,
That sweeten the breath Of the kline
And the apples that fingered, as dieads
Ing
The air and the light to resign.
And not for the fruit harvest only
We offer our thanks and our praise;
Not less have the leaves and the BIOS
SONS
Made brighter and better the days.
The leaves that delightwith their green
That soften the heat with their shade,
And nestle so crisply in Autumn.
To startle the lover and the maid.
For the blossoms that whiten the May
The ground, as with snow, as they
fall;
For the 'f1owrets that whisper their
meanings
In cottage and hovel and hall.
Ave. thanks for the harvest Of beauty
For that which the hand cannot hold
The harvest ewes only can gather,
Which only our hearts can en1olo!
We have reaped it on mountain ana
moorland;
We have cleaned it from meadow ana
lee; -,
We have gathered it in from the cloud
land; =,
We have bound it in shcavcs from the
sea,

WEARING FLANNELs.-The value
of flannel next the skin caunot be
ovcrrated, says Dio Lewis: 1t is
invaluable to persons Of both sexes,
and all ages, in all countries, in all
climates, at every season OF the
year, for the sick and the well-ln
brief, I cannot conceive OF any cir
cumstances in which flannel next
the skin is not a comfort and a
source of health. It should not be
changed from thick to thin before
the settled hot weather of the sum-
mcr, which in the Northern States
is not much before The middle OF
June. and often not before the first
of July. And the hannels for the
SIMMER must not be three-quarters
cotton, but they must be all woolen,
if you would have the best protec-
ton.
In the British army and navy
thcy make the wearing of flannel a
point of discipline. During the rot
season the ships doctor makes a
daily examination of the men at
unexpected hours to make sure that
thev have not left off their flanncls.

"if the price of cotton is low when
