The Farmer Feedeth All.

BY CHARLES G. LELAND.
My lord rides through his palace gate;
My lady sweeps along i'll state;
The sage thinks lcng on many thing.
And the maiden muses. on marrying:
The minstrel harpeth merrily;
The sailor ploughs the foaming sea:
The huntsman kills the good red deer,
And the soldier wars without cen fear.
But fall to each whate'er befall
The farmer he must feed them all.
Smith hammereth cherry red the sword:
Pnesf preacheth pure the Holy Word;
Dame Alice worketh broidery well;
Clerk Richard tales of love can tell:
The tap-wife sells her foaming beer:
Dan Fisher fisheth in the mere:
And courtiers rutfle, strut and shine.
While pages bring the gascon wine:
But fall to each whate'er befall
The farmer he must feed the1a all.
Man builds his castles fair and high.
Wherever river runneth by:
Great cities rise in every land;
Great churches show the builders hand;
Great arches, monuments and towers;
Fair palaces and pleasing bowers;
Great work is done, be it here or there;
And well man worketh everywhere;
But work or rest, whate'er hefal
Tie farmer he must feed them all

THE DIVORCE BILL,

introduced and engineered by Mr..
Pinney, in the Assembly, was very
properly killed by vote of 80 to y.
The bill provided that if either party to
Il marriage contract becomes incurably
insane, and remains in that condition
for three years, divorce shall be gran
ted, with alimony for the insane party.
There are doubtless many who would
take advantage of the act, were 1t to be
come a law, to rid themselves Of their
unfortunate consorts, the windows OF
whose souls had become darkened, oc-
casioned, perhaps, from neglect and i'll
treatment by the very ones who,
through the agency of the law, sought
to east them off in ali their helpless
ness. The bill, as | before remarked,
was very properly Strangled, as its pres
ence III our statute book would be q
standing disgrace to the State.

Singular Story of jealousy.

A singular story of jealousy and re-
venge comes to rs from Sicily. A beau
tiful young girl named Florina, who
was the belle of a travelling cirrus, in
which she figured as the lion tanner,
had been for some time receiving the
attentions of al athlete belonging to
the same troupe. BY some means she
ascertained that he was not faithful to
her, but had another lady love. No
signs, however, of her painful discov-
cry were allowed to ESCAPE. She still
smiled sweetly upon him, but respond
ed cOldly to his ardent caresses. In her
own bosom she planned a terrible re
yenge. One evening recently when
the performance had been unu-
sually briliant-after Florina had
whipped the lions and forced them to
lie at her feet-she called her recreant
lover aside and said to him: ''Do you
still love me :" "Always," he an
swered "Do you know that / should
die if you should devote yourself to
another woman?" "What an idea :"
responded the young man. But |
should first kill YOU" said Florina.
''And how would you do that ?"
'"Thus," cried the girl, at the same in
stont pushing him violently into the
cage of the lions. They attacked the
unfortunate man at once AMI tore him
to pieces, while Florida urged them on
with blows of her whip.

CALKINS' BONANZA.

Col. Calkins made his annual appear

settlement of his old printing contract
The gallant Colonel seems to have
struck a regular bonanza" in that con
tract, and is working it with commend
able, if not gratifying energy. His
accounts with the state have been
finally settled, [ believe, three times
already, and the general opinion seems
to prevail that his efforts as lobbyist
have not resulted in the state getting
much the better of the bargain on
either occasion. Calkins is a dapper
little cuss of marvellous ability in but
ton-hOhng and wire-pulling, and when
once his ''eye is sot" on job of this
kind the victory is already half gained.

the fact that it has always been con-

have been compelled to use manure

over their fields as far as possible,
