Decay Of Literary Reputation.

A contemporary, remarking on the
waning of the popularity of most, if not
all, OF the American humorists, includ-
ing even Mark Twain and Bret Harte,
asks IT these writers have exhausted
their fund of humor, or if their reputa-
ton suffers because the public are tickle.
We suspect that the humorists have lost
their popularity from dearth of ideas,
rather than from a lack of taste on the
part OF the public to appreciate genuine
humor. Almost the entire mass of these
so-called humorous works is made up of
droll expressions and verbal buffoonerv
rather than that fruitful invention and
originality OF thought which distinguish
the writings of the humorists of the
Old World, whose place in classic litera-
ture has been sanctioned and confirmed
by time. Cervantes, Fielding, and Boo
caccio have something greater and better
than ludicrous language and whimsical
situations. Their mirth is often plant
which springs mp in freshness close by
the fountain of tears.
There is a profound purpose often in
their writings, and valuable thought,
the fruit of an original genius, would
remain even if their language were
changed. English readers admire Don
Quixote and the Decameron, even in the
medium of faulty translations, but what
sort of reading would "Roughing it, ,"
or even the ludicrous Innocents
Abroad" make translated into French
or German? If authors content them
selves with being merely droll, they
must be content with the fate of the
clown in the pantomime they may raise
loud laughter and reap rich pecuniary
rewards but they must not be disap-
pointed if the world, after all, reserves
It's chaplet of lasting fame for those
who dig new gems from the mines of
thought. Courier-Jouraai.

A Silent Game.

Scene in a restaurant at Brussels
Two persons sitting at table, face to
face each with mug of beer before
him, each with face resting on his hand,
intently watching the table in profound
silence. Fifteen minutes passed, when
suddenly one of the parties remarked,
4" / have won p and the other handed
over to him piece of money. The 81
lence and attention were resumed. when
after ten or fifteen minutes the same par
ty made the same exclamation, and
there was another transfer of money
and so on for more then an hour. An
impulsive Frenchman was looking on
and wondering. At last, unable to re-
strain himself, he rushed to the proprie-
tor to know what those two silent peo-
pie were doing. cit would seem that
they are playing some game, but what ?
there is absolutely nothing on the table
but the two mugs-no card, no dice
what are they doing?" "They are play
ing very popular game here" was the
reply. 90 Each has put drop of beer on
the table, and that drop which first at
tracts a fly, wins. The one who gets
slyly little powdered sugar on his drop
is winning all the others money"

To Prevent Rust.

Manufacturers of farm tools usually
apply varnish to prevent rusting, but the
cost and difficulty of removing it make it
unsuitable for home use. White lead is
effectual in keeping off rust, but with
this the same difficulty of removing is
met. The best thing we have tried
and where the recipe was first given has
escaped us-is whiting thinned with
kerosene to the consistency of paint, and
applied with a small brush or cloth
This readily rubs off, but will prevent
rust for months. We keep it ready
mixed, and when hoes, spades, or plows
are laid aside, if only for few days, a
coat of this preparation is given. The
London Lancet says the medical officers
of the British navy preserve their surgi-
cal instruments from rust by mixture
of carbolic acid and olive oil, in equal
parts, smeared over them.

How to Improve.

The Pacific Rural Press says Look
around among those who say that "farm-
ing don't pay" and you Will find them
of that class who think that money paid
for an agricultural paper is only thrown
away, and that to devote few hours to
studying the nature of the soil they pro-
fess to till is so much time lost; because.
say they, the ideas and suggestions of
books and papers are only theorecti-
cal, and cannot be put in practice. To
all those farmers whose ideas are so con-
tracted, whose reasoning powers are so
rusted, we would say, you can make it
profitable to cultivate your minds as well
as your fields, for in so doing you can
cultivate your fields all the better YOU
will find true worldly wisdom in it, for it
will enable you to conduct your farm
more systematically and proftably; be-
come members of farmers clubs, take
part in the discussions, or if only listen
ing to the opinions OF others you will
find it a source of interest and profit,
that will eventually make your farming
profitable.

POOR FARMER JOHN.
BY MRS. NJ. NJ. B. GOODWIN.

Old Farmer john is sore perplexed-
Nay, GARNER John is really vexed;
He lsbors early, labors late,
Yet ever talks of adverse fate;
For all his tollings scarce suffice,
OF longed-for lands to pay the price.
The summers come, the summers go,
The spring showers waste the winters snow
The while, from dawn till close of day,
Receiving naught but frowns for pay;
His good wife tolls :; and anxious care
Has faded lip and cheek and hair.
Acres on acres stretch away
OF woodland, corn, of wheat and hay;
His cattle roam DER many hill,
HIS brooklet turns the groaning mill:
Yet still he signs, and groans for more,
And grumbles e'er that he is poor.
Four sturdy sons, four daughters fair,
Claimed at his hands fathers care.
He gave them labor without end,
And strove their souls, like his, to bend
Into the narrowing groove OF thought;
Gold to be earned, land to be bought.
Yes, Farmer John is growing poor
You feel it as you pass his door.
His old brown house is small and mean,
The roof is warped by crack and seam;
Inc leaning bars, the half-hlnged door,
Proclaim Old John is uery poor.
No books, nc pictures on the wall;
Carpetless rooms and dreary nall.
Why think it strange such farmers boys
Should seek the city's pomp and noise?
Should learn to loathe the sight of home,
Where naught of joy or grace may come?
Why think it strange his poor old wife,
Who coined for him her very life,
Should pause at last, despite his frown,
And lay her weary burden down
In joy, to walk the streets of heaven,
Who're naught is sold, but all is given?
Go where you will, search earth around,
The poorest man that can be found
Is he who tolls through life to gain
Widest extent of hill and plain;
Forgetting all his souls best needs,
In counting DER his title deeds.

Mulchinx Strawberries.

A correspondent to an exchange says
The snow fell before I had chance to
cover my strawberry beds. Will it do
any good to put on mulch now? It an
swers The snow is an excellent mulch,
and answers all purposes, if it would re-
main on the ground until April Put ON
the mulch by all means on the top of the
snow, and as the latter disappears the
hay or straw will settle down on the
plants and protect them from the bad
effects of alternate freezing and thawing,
which on wet or clay ground will 'hease'
the stock.

THE LITTLE GLASS SHOE.
A NoRTaLASD FAIRY TALE.

no no! ha ha what is it view ?".
dohn Wilde, the plowman cried,
AS ne mt his foot on little glass shoe
~ l hat lay on the mountain side:
Some fay has lost it, there's never doubt.
ana all ! how lucky for me:
me 1 owner Will soon be roaming about
10 md where his shoe may be.
And SO, said John, an carry IT horna
Ihat's Just what III do, = -
And ne will pay me pretty SIM,
VINO buys this little glass shoot,
AI1 ne spread the story far and near.
For many a mile around ~
That the fairy might surely hear
Who the little glass shoe had found
And soon to John merchant came.
Who said he had heard the news.
Ana would the plowman sell the same
To a dealer in little glass shoes?
And he offered John a pretty price
For the shoe that ne had found:
But John replied it was much too nice
To go for hundred pound:
Then the merchant offered hundred more.
But the plowman still said 90 Nay:
The man who buys my shoe,r ne swore
Viii dearly have to pay
Ihere's not so pretty shoe on earth
To cover lady's toes;
And then happen to know its worth
Far better than you suppose.
That shoe is one of wondrous price,
(Ihat nobody can deny,)
ana yet, perchance, there's some device
May serve the shoe to buy
II you are able to show me, now,
When am blowing my field
That every furrow behind nv plow
shining ducat may yield
Why, then, to you the shoe III give,
Else will keep it myself
For an ornament, as long as 1 live
10 grace my mantel shelf"
And SO it was the fairy bought
CIwas he in merchants guise y
his own glass shoe and, quick as thought,
Away to his home he HES.
And of went John, with much delight,
As fast as he could CO.
By trial to prove that very night
If the charm would work or no.
And he found the fairy's word was true,
As he promised in the trade;
For shining ducat came te view
In every furrow he made
And again next morning of he went
Nor scarce to eat could stop
To plow again-he was go intent
To gather his golden crop.
And so he plowed, and plowed, and plowed,
And scarce for slumber ceased;
No wonder John was growing proud,
SO fast his wealth increased
And still he plowed by day and night,
When none were looking on
I'LL he seemed, indeed, sorry wight
He grew so lean and wand,
And still, when none his work might view,
He plowed by night and day;
And still the more his riches grew,
The more he pinned away,
UNTIL at last, his work was stopt
And the plowman, where was he:
Down in the furrow, alas he dropt,
As dead as dead could be.
MORAL
Though good is gold, to have and hold,
My story makes it clear,
Who sells himself for sordid pelf
Has bought it much too dear
John G. Sd1e
