The following beautiful lines were written b,
The Hon Richard Henry Wilde, who was
member of Congress from the State of Georgi,
about thirty years ago. Some Of our readers
may remember his brilliant speeches in tn,
House of Representatives; and all of them, W,
think, will admire these stanzas
My Life Is Like the Summer Rose.
My life ia like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky.
And ere the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground to die;
Yet on that roses humble bed
The softest dews of night are shed
AS though she wept such waste to see
But none shall drop one tear for me.
My life is like the autumn leaf
Which trCmbles in the moons pale ray
Its hold is frail, its date is brief,
Restlcss;-and soon to pass away;
Yet when that leaf shall fall and fade
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The wind bcmoan the cailess tree,
But none shall breathe u sigh for me
My life is like the print, which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat
Their trace will vanish from the sand;
Yet, rs if gricving to cfface
All vcstigc Of the human race,
On that lone shore load means the sea,
But none shall thus lament for me-

4 C.GnTATN CURE FOR THE AGUE.-A
man down in Delaware, who has been en-
ioying the chils and fever for month"; read
in the paper the other day that if person
afflicted thus would crawl down q flight of
stairs head foremost, just as the chill is
coming on, it would get disguised and
leave incontinently. The Delaware man
tried it, but for want of practice or some
thing, he came down more rapidly than
was necessary-much morc-clearing four
steps at time, and executing pair of adj
mirable fiip-haps before reaching the foot
Of the stairs. He has had his nose half
soled, and court-plaster map of Boston's
burnt district laid out on his left cheek
and side of the head, and still has no faith
in the efficacy of that ague cure.

A TALE OF LOVE.-One quiet day in
leafy June, when bees and birds were all
in tune, two lovers walked beneath the
moon. The night was fair, so was the
maid; they walked and talked beneath
the shade, with none to harm or make
afraid.
Her name was Sal, and his was jim,
and he was fatand she was slim he took
to her, and she took to him.
Says Jim to Sal, "By all the snakes
that squirm among the brush and brakes,
love you better'n buckwheat cakes.n
Says she to Jim, "Since you've begun
it, and been and done it, love you next
to a new bonnet"
Says jim to Sal, "My heart you've
ed.n
Says Sal to Jim, "Iwill be true; if you
love, me as [ love you, no knife can cut
our love in two"
Says Jim to Sal, "Through thick and
thin, for your true lover count me in, I'll
court no other gal agin.n
Jim leaned to Sal, Sal leaned to Jim,
his nose just touched above her chin
| four lips ent-ahem-ahem! And
then-and then-and then. Oh, gals!
beware of men in June, and underneath
the silyery moon, when frogs and June
bugs are in tune, lest you getyour names

A, Western editor remarks that he is
glad to receive marriage notices, but re-
quests that they be sent soon after the
ceremony, and before the divorce is ap-
piled for. He has had several notices
spoilt in this way. Another Western
editor says that the editor of a rival
sheet was skating recently and broke
through the ice. He went in up to his
ears, but the hole was not large enough
to let them through. While he was
waiting for some one to take him out his
ears froae, and they have since been am
putated and are used for door mats.

In a rural town not fifty miles from
Providence, an elderly gentleman died
and left a somewhat eccentric wife. The
parish clergyman, in pursuance of his
duty, called on the bereaved wife shortly
after her husbands decease, and among
other remaks said that the deceased was
now freed from all the ills that flesh is
heir TO-" " ymph," replied the sorrow
ing wife, there wasn't much flesh to
him-all skin and bone!"

Hints for the Farmer,

First. A knowledge of what his land
will produce, is necessary to the farmer
that he may know what expense NAV
be allowed in cultivation, etc. This he
must learn by trying his land-he may
THINK he knows by what others have
done. This is well enough, if he is sure
he can do as others do.
Second. A great many unsuccessful
farmers get in the grass, and fail to
keep up with their work, but YOU will
hardly ever find one that has not an ex-
ctlse; 1t was too wet or too dry, or the
hands failed to work, OF something pre-
vented the work being done in the
proper way and at the proper time
when the real cause was bad MANAGE
neht. And the reason why thev don't
learn to manage better is, they don't
ATTRIBUTE the results to their true cause,
II they would say failed, instead of
the seasons, etc, they might learn to
Third. A farmer should know what
his means will admit of his doing-hoW
many hanqs, mules, ETC., it will take to
do the work he proposes to have done
In certain time. This perhaps requires
the incest of all calculations. and AS man
by nature wants to do more than he can
do, 1t would be well for him to guard
against laying off more work than he is
aole to DO. The only rule that | can
give that will be sure to guard him
against thlS great error, is to calculate
last. 0''1 y "''''' 'i0 ''l''
Fourfh' A great many good men, and
especlally farmers, are careless or indO-

great deal next year, but wait until II is
too late to begin. The way to avoid This,
| IS to commence at once, and never stOD,
