Thrift.

In passing through the country why is
it that we see only few farms that seem
to be well fenced. and on which the
dwellings and other farm buildings are
in good repair. These few farms are
always free from weeds, aud invariably
yield good crops of all kinds. The own
ers of these premises attend to their bus
iness. They make business OF farming.
They get their crops in at the proper
season, and harvest them when they are
properly matured. Their cash account
is always in their favor, the balance be-
ing on the right side. They have no
time to waste at the taverns or groceries.
If they have spare time, it is devoted to
selfculture. They always subscribe and
pay for their local paper first, and others
are not discarded. They and their fam
lilies are well informed upon the current
topics of the day. Their children are
educated, well clad and we'll bred. These
men are the substantial and influential
men of the town. They keep it respect
able. They support the schools and the
churches. These are the men to whom
the country ever looks in time of need.
They always have opinions upon subjects
and their views are never in market.
Ever open to conviction, never to cor
ruption, they may sometimes be little
exclusive, but they are ever ready to
assist taeir less favored neighbors to rise
to the same plane upon which they stand.
They are reserved but true, cautious but
sure, and they constitute the hope and
safety of our republic.

What Name, Sir.

An exercise on the Vux Humana re.
Gently occurred at the Boston Post Office
that was little more amusing than mu.
sical.
An individual stepped up to the gen.
eral delivery window, and in a somewhat
subdued tone asked
"Any letters for me ?"
What name, sir !? (" said the clerk in
attendance.
Watt" replied the applicant.
What name ?" repeated the clerk
in a still louder tone.
"Watt, sir"
"What name? ?" shouted the clerk
still louder, growing red in the face iu
his efforts.
Watt, sir, is my name, now shouted
the applicant in return.
Yes," responded the man of letters,
putting in all the power Of lungs he pos
sessed, and shouting like new adiutant
at the head of raw regiment
What is your name, sir Z"
Yes, / know it is, now screamed the
other, red and excited. "Do you mean
to keep me yelling at you all day in this
manner? Give me my letters"
BY this time two or three clerks inside
the window had come to the rescue of
their comrade, and small crowd had
gathered round the excited letter seeker
outside, who was shaking his fist, and
denouncing the Post Office department
for placing deaf man at the delivery
window.
What do you mean by calling me
deaf? " said the clerk, who overheard the
last remark.
Why, you are deaf, amt you ="
asked his customer.
"Not bit of it," said the clerk but
you are amt you? 2"
"No, sir. l can hear whisper a
mile off"
"Then why did you keep saying
What? when | asked your name ?"
Because Watt is my name-James
Watt"
"Oh! | thought you said What all
he time"
So / did, WA ,T-T-Watt."
At this fellow clerk suggested that
they had better give old Watts s-his-name
his letters, which was done, and the
crowd, including several disappointed
individuals who were in anticipation OF
fight, instead of laugh, dispersed.

LOVE OF Fun IN ANIMAIs.-Iti is well
known that lambs hold regular sports
apart from their dams, who only look on
composedly at little distance to watch,
and perhaps enjoy their proceedings.
Monkeys act in the same manner and so
do dogs, the fri.kiness of which resemble
children. Leigh Hunt said he had OBJ
served young spider sporting about its
parent, running up to and away from it
in playful manner. He also watched
kitten amusing itself by running along
past its mother, to whom she always gave
a little pat on the cheek as she passed.
The elder cat endured the pats TRANQUILITY
for while, but at length becoming irri-
tated, she took an opportunity to hit her
offspring blow on the side of the head,
which sent the little creature spinning to
the other side of the room. An irritated
human being would have acted in pre-
cisely the same manner.
