"Take 1t Out as Yen Did Before.v

A certain quasi commercial "gent,'
travelling in the north O. England, stopped
at commercial house. He ordered din
ner, and enjoyed himself after the usual
fashion of the craft--th pint of port" not
being omitted. When he was about to
depart, he called up miro host and grave
ly informed him that he vas very sorry he
had no money to pay the bill, burt that, if
allowed to live in peact, ne would one day
return and square up. Now the landlord
had been victimized il this way before,
and was irate. He sale lie would take it
out of his customer by sicking him down
the steps of the hote., and he did so.
Ssme time afterward, to the landlords
intense establishment, de Commercial"

he bore no malice he Sid, and he should
be glad if mine host WCnd favor him on
this improved occasion With his company
at dinner. The victuallcr was taken aback'';
he felt that on the pre- vious occasion he
had been harsh and hut .riSjadged his GUS
toner, and with proflse apologies he con-
sented to dine with the ntu he had before
violently elected from the house. The
Commercial" ordered capital dinner, a
bottle or so of the best VINE in the cellar,
and it was altogether remarkably pleas

lily till the good thing were exhausted
Then the dinner giver ros-, and in the cool
est manner possible addressed the landlord
as follows:

tainment ; but as to the bill, l am afraid
you will have to take that out as you did
before!"

In South America even the weakest may
be, not uncommonly, seen plNcking the
fruit at the tree tops. If the bark is SO
smooth and slippery that they cannot go
climbing, they use either means. They
make hoop of wild vines, and putting
their feet inside, they u.c it as a support
in climbing. The negro Of the West Coast
ofAfrica makes large hoop round the trees
and gets Inside off and jerks it up the trunk
with his hands, little nj IL time, drawing
his legs up after it. The Tahitian boys
tic their feet together, four or five inches
apart, with piece of palm bark, and with
the aid of this ietter 90 up the cocoa

chop holes with Ratchet; then one

as will 60 round it, puts her hatchet on
her cropped head, and, placing her feet
against fhe tree and grasping the rope
with her hands, she bitches it up by jerks,
and pulls herself up the enormous trunk

HAyRE DE GRACE, Seutember 18th, 1874
Mr.. EDITOR: 1t was the good fortune of your
correspondent to meet one the School Com
missioHers of Hartford on his way to visit the
new High School in Havre dc Grace. Prompt.
| ly accepting an invitation 10 accompany him,
we were soon ushersd into the buildhg-about
which word just here may not be amiss.-
1t is substantial brick building, capable of ac-
eommodating between three and four hundred
pupils, and is an enduring monument Of the
| lberality and public spirit Of the good people
of this place. Erected at al expense Of not less
than fourteen thousand dollars by the citizens,
| 1t has been leased to the School Commissioners
| at nominal rent of one Hundred and thirty
dollars. Knowing that there is no more eff.
cient method of adding to t'e prosperity of any
locality than by supplying proper facilities for
education, the School Commissioners wisely
determined to establish irst class school in
this already fourishing town. DR.. w. ". Vir-
din, our School Commissioner for this end of
the county, has succeeded, al er several years of
determined effort, and secured the services Of
Prof. Geo. Jackson, of New Y ork State--a distin-
guished educator, of twenty years experience
whom we found actively engaged in organizing
the first High School of Hartford county. The
Professor Informed us that it was his intention
to gradually introduce the higher branches Of
good scholastic course. including the higher
mathematics and the classics, and we have no
doubt from what we personally observed that
those who enter the school under the supervis-
ion of Professor jackson will have advantages
not to be obtained outside OF Baltimore or Phil
adelphia. Commissioner Virdn assured us that
everything in the shape q apparatus or books
| required by the Professor 10 properly equip the
High School department would be promptly
forthcoming. The school 10 intended for the
children throughout the county, and will be Of
incalculable advantage to those who have hith-
erto been deprived of the opportunity of getting
| more than mere common school training. From
| our knowledge of the commissioner VIC venture
to predict that he will etaud by the Havrc dc
Grace High School untilit becomes the bright.
est jewel in his civic crown. Old Hartford has
| reason to be proud of such citizens and will
not be slow in awarding the need of public
spirit by placing him where he can be Of still
more use to his constituents.
We had formed an erroneous idea in regard
to the health of this place, which we here beg
| leave to correct. We supposed that it was the
centre of a malarisus region and that fever and
ague was indigenous hercabouts but on ques-
tioning the physicians, they pronounce it 'ds-
tressingly" healthy and as sure us that it is as
| salubrious as any place of The size in Maryland.
In conclusion we congratulat the good people
of Havre de Grace in their new High School,
and wish them abundant success in their indus.

When to Sell Wheat.

When to sell the crop of wheat is, per-
haps, more difficult to decide than when
to thresh. We have known farmers who
for series of years were obliged to sell
their wheat as soon as possible after hary-
est to meet debts, and again others who
were able to hold for the highest prices,
and we were satisfied from years of obser-
satlon, that those who were compelled to
sell early realized, taking one year with
another, the highest prices for their grain.
we notice that when from any cause what
ever there was sudden rise in wheat, they
who were able to hold were resolved not
to sell till it had reached the top price,
and frequently, just before it reached that
price, it suddenly fell far below the point
from which it started on its spasmodic ad
vance.
If farmers could always know with ac-
curacy just the amount of the old grain
and flour left over, and the true condition
of the crops all over the world, so that
they might be able to judge of the ratio
OF supply to demand. they would be pre-
pared to decide whether the early mar.
ket Is what it ought to be or not but so
long as there are grain-speculators all over
the world trying to bear the market by ex
aggerated statements of the amount of the
old crop left over in the great grain cen4
tres of the world, and with over-estima&
OF the new crop, they are left withoud
reliable guide.
Perhaps we may lay it down rs u gei
al rule, that when the last years crop X
been, generally, a short one, and the pf.
ent one is abundant, the early market
be the best; but when the last one
abundant, and the current one is short
the latter market will be higher. Weba

MEMORY.

BY Z. HYDE.
Why, o, memory! dost thou picture
To my heart the past,
With its wild, wild dreams of pleasure.
Dreams which could not lasty
Ay to night come long gone voices,
OF the loved of earth;
Like to ripple of soft music,
When the soul hath dearth.
But the mockery of gladness
Der my soul doth swell,
Making only bitter sadness
In my heart to dwell.
Memory brings to heart so weary
Words of hope and love,
And Of fond, false VOWS too dearly
Trusted-but to prove
False Q memory, hush thy plcadings!
Lest l once more clasp
Form best loved of earth,
And wildly break the spell at last.
Is it not enough We parted,
And another claims
All the love l dreamed mine only?
Twas not only dreams.
Do not shrink, will but chide
For thy false words given,
When In thee l fondly trusted
Hark that trust was riven.
Once for me the days were glorious,
Nights were moonlight ever
And the future pictured joyous,
What is sadness ever.
Memory! torture me no longer,
Hush! that hooking voice;
In the gloom which settled DER me
Bid me not rejoice.
Back, sad tears, will not shed them
Drink of Lethe's deep river
And forget, no grief should win thee
To her side forever.
See yon cloud is lined with silver,
And pale bright star above
Softly whispers-in that Heaven
All is perfect love.
Perfect love, there comes no shadows
Marring sunlight's CLEAN,
Weary ones forget their sadness
Drinking of that stream.
Those who bear q cross too heavy
Wear the lightest crown
And it may be they sit nearer
Round the shining throne.
