ENTER MARCH.

Arrayed in dusty, rusty drab,
With rusty, dusty beard AMI hair,
Here comes old March, red as crab
And rugged as a bear
AS chisel cold his nose is sharp,
Than fishing-hooks his nails are sharper
Cracked is his voice like frozen harp
Touched by heshless harper.
Oh, weary are his tickle ways!
To-day benign, tomorrow bitter;
In pleasant mood he seldom stays,
The testy old hair-spitter.
The only birds his praise that sing
Are cawing crows and geese that gabble
To call him the first month of spring
Is naught but idle babble.
His footsteps ever followed are
By parching drought and dusty breezes,
By watery eyes and dire catarrh,
And stunning coughs and sneezes.
Delusive March speed on speed on,
Make way for better months a-coming
That blooming flowers will bring anon,
With bees about them humming.

The Wheat Trade.

Old Davis, OF Ossipca-the we'll known
shlngle and clapboard autocrat of thirty
years ago-had dog named Watch The
dog had become old and nuisance.
Davis had threatened often to kill the
brute. and had as often reIented. One
day Sim Brown, the Concord peddler,
drove up to Davis store, but Davis did
not want to buy anything.
Can't | sell you clock -? I've got
EN- cheap as dirt, and real good ones
i haven't got the money.
'Drat the money. I'll tuke fair ex-
change of anything
Davis scratched his head, whereat
Brown continued :.
Come, we'll have trade somehow.
You've got to have one of my clocks.
What have you got to exchange for it2
I've got nothing but a watch
'Eh Ia watch 2" cried the peddler
Frightening up. What kind of watch?'
'Tain't, of course, a very good one, OF
I wouldn't want to trade it off"
What kind of cases I?
4 can't say much for the cases, but the
insdes are in good order, and it runs
well. It'll let you know when eatin' time
comes. sartn.'
How II you trade p
III give my watch for one of your
clocks, and call it bargain without auy

Done ! said Brown, and he selected
steePle topped Connecticut clock, and
brought it into the store. There's your
clock aud good one. Now where's Jour
watch
Davis went to the door, and whistled
and called Watch Watch Here old
fellow, you re wauted!'
The wretehed old dog came in with a
bound.
That's the watch Brown You'll
find his n'ards perfect, aud he eau run
like Sancho, and when it comes meal
time if he don't let you know it, I'm
mistaken in him.
The peddler gasped and staggered, and
he said something not quite proper to ears
polite but he did not back down. He
only said as he hitched the dog to the
axle tree Of his wagon, and prepared 20
drive off:
'Somebody'll pay ME for that clock be-

And | opine that there are hundreds
of people to day in that section of New

Legal Fence,

A ease involving the question, "What
is sufficient fence to afford protection
against live stock p was recently tried
before Judge Elwell, in Wyoming coun-
ty. Tie plaintiff sought to recover dam
ages alleged to have been done his corn
crop in 1870 by the stock of the defend
ant The Judge in charging the jury
made the following remarks: It is max
i'm Of law that every man must so use
and take care Of his own as not to iDjure
his neighbo-'s. At common law the
owner Of the cattle was liable for the
damage done although the had had not
been fenced This was understood to be
the law of the States until decision of
the Supreme Courts, in which the Act of
Assembly was construed to change tie
common law. BY this decision, if the
owner Of improved land has no fences
around it, he connot recover for injuries
Judge Addison, seventy five years since.
it was held that if fence, though not law
full, be what is called neig bOrly and
sufficient to restrain ordinary cattle that
trespass will lie for injury by The cattle
Of another. This view is substantially
correct. II, therefore, the fence was such
as farmers of practical knowledge and ex-
perieuce would consider a sufficient pro-
lection against ordinary cattle, then the
plaintiff would be entitled to recover,
though the fence was not of any given
height. or composed Of any particular
material

CORRECT SPEAKING.-W would advise
all young people to acquire in early life,
the habit of speaking and writing corr
rectly, and to abandon as early as posi-.
bic, any use of slang words and phrases.
The longer you live, the more difficult
correct language will be; and If the gold.
en- age ofyouth, the proper season for
the acquisition of language, be passed in
its abuse, the unfortunate victim, if neg
lected, is very probably doomed to talk
slang for life. Money is not necessary
to procure this education. Every man
has it in his power. He has merely to
use the language which he reads, instead
Of the slang which he hears, to form his
taste from the best speakers and poets in
the country; to treasure up choice
phrases in his memory, and habituatc
himself to their use, avoiding at the same
time that pedantc precision and bombast
which show the weakness Of vain ambi.
ton rather than the polish Of an eduea
ted man,

Plain Talk to the Temperance Women

The Louisville Courier Journal, while
offering its sympathy to any scheme
which will destroy the evils OF ntem
perance, thinks that the assault on mid
die men must fail, and offers the follow
ing advice:
"The points of attack, then, lady lead
ers in this movement, are very simple ::
Either stop the manufacture ofintoxicat
ing liquors, or direct your efforts against
the consumer, and bring the whole
weight of your moral force to bear
against that unnatural appetite which is
the root of the whole evil. Destroy this,
and neither distilers nor dram sellers
will need your furtner attention. Do
YOU ask how this can be accomplished
We can tell you readily how it cannot be
accomplished This curse is not to be
removed by declaiming against it in pub
lie and tolerating it in private. Treat
the gentlemen as they treat you; measure
them by the standards by which you are
measured by them, and the accssslons to
the ranks of temperance will surpass the
most sanguine expectations.
"Ifa woman is addicted to the cXces
sive use Of ardent spirits, are men still
ready to take her to their bosoms with
merely a sigh ofpity? No; the sentence
is more stern and severe, and-shall we
add-more just. She is banisied from
respectable society, and her character
considered wrecked. Have you not sut
ficient nerve and moral force to exact q 5
! high standard Of virtue from them
Instead Of boiling over in public and be-
ING lukewarm in private, boil ifyou wish
to, but try the effect of freezing. You
! ladies who are unmarried would acquire
sufficient dignity and strength of charac
ter to refuse to associate with drunkards,
even if they have sober intervals. Let
young men understand that if they love
ardent spirits better than they do you,
you consider them already welded to a
more alluring mistress, and are not dis
posed to become bgamist Is this
asking too much of you? Then go on
in your crusade against the rumsellers,
| pour out the vials Of wrath upon the ac-
cursed traffic, and compel the vender to
close his (front) doors Then in the
] evening rest your head upon the bosom
of his sodden patron, and, while you are
inhalng the sweet fragrance of Bourbon
and lager, ies your mind repose under
the consciousness Of duty well done.
