THE N1sKAYUNE sHAKEREsS.

1t was a gentle Shakeress
just in from Niskayune,
Five miles beyond the turnpike gate,
One PLEASANT afternoon.
Aloft upon the wagon box,
She satin virgin state;
The spirit moved me TO draw near
And hold her with debate.
I asked of her the price of eggs;
She raised her eyes, and then
"If brother Jesse were bat her,

She raised her eyes once more, at

And saw myself in Shaker garb, put

The way they manage farm laborers In
Wales Is worthy Of note. The man hav-
Ing family l. provided with a cottage
and three acres and cow, or with six
acres and two cows nor Il the land poor.
but as good M any on the farm, and all Of
which rents for $50 10 S75 a year. Mean
while the laborer works ON the farm the
usual hours at 81 IS week, which
amounts 10 about $50 per annum. and de-
Quoting the rent, leaves him with $40 az
the years end. But the dairy allotment
Is worth rs much as 500 year, or, in
good hands, $500, or even more. So well
established is this method of provid ne for
laborers that, in ease "A COW goes dry for
several months, a new one Is furnished for
the interim. SO that with one COW giving
milk the year round the value OF the butter
made must be equal to 500. while the
garden, kept fertile, will furnish large
supply of vegetables. and a couple OF pigs
can be fattened. Add to this the poultry
chickens, ducks, and geese, and you have
handsome little revenue; and there Is
no doubt that the greater part OF the work
and all the little chores are performed by
the wife and her children, leaving the hus-
band TO labor steadily on the proprietor's
farm. The laborer also gets his board
during havest-time. When so placed he
Is said To be anchored to COW he re-
mains for life without desiring to change,
and emigrant agents and other tempters
call to him in vain.
This plan is of great Importance to both
parties. To the proprietors, the cottage,
land. and small wages have less value
than the board and wages of single man.
while the work performed Is of higher
grade, melted as ii is by self-interest, and
II is always 10 be depended upon. 1t
seems to embrace all the best features of
the old ieudal system. without an obliga-
ton TO do military service, and 1t partakes
largely OF the patriarchal or family ar
rangement. The laborer himself Is much
better of than the single man, because he
may receive more according as he and his
family manage, and he becomes in man
ner proprietor, while he is debarred from
entering into speculation and losing pos
session. Ii Is an important question wheth-
er this system might not be established TO
great advantage In many parts OF the Unit
ed States. There are thousands of men
who have farms who are industrious, but
who seem to have no ability TO make
progress, for the reason that they are in
tellectually incapable OF managing real
estate; but they will do well if under wise
direction. and II they are limited In their
efforts. Then there is large class, men
on the frontier, who always rent and never
own land. However. such vassalage Is
contrary TO our woskingmen's ideas but
nothing Is to prevent our large farmers
from making a trial with the right kind
of laoorers.-N. y. Tribune.

Some More Observations by Master Ben
Spinner.

The reason why the 4th of July is so
short is because they signed the Declare
ton of Independence all in one day. III
they only had went slow. and been three
or four days about it, then we would have
had long pull at the fireworks, and
plenty Of time to make things lively most
all the week.
When your mother sends you TO the
grocery, with a basket, for two dozen
eggs. in a hurry. and you get into "A soft
game of marbles on the way. and win
good many. and don't come home for two
hours. that's forgetfulness. But your
mother don't forget you when you come
back.
Thereisa boy lives in the Fourth Ward
has got feet so egregious big that he can't
play hopscotch. but then no hair-pin can
throw him i'm a fair rassel. and a hard
wind could never blow him over in a
storm.
When YOU slide down on the long ban
nisters of the front hall stairs, and go on
down TO the bottom so fast that il burns
you clean through your trousers, that's
friction.
Some Saturday when you are in the
kitchen, and the hired girl has just shined
up the knives, when she turns her back
you mustn't dip them one at the time In
the vinegar jug. because IL you do the
chemistry will turn 'em black. and then
you will have to 90 carelessly down to the
back fence to get out Of the way of some
hot water or something.
When you see boy with splinter new
overcoat as fits him. and l. real tailor
made, and you haven't got any overcoat
yourself, and it's a awful cold day, and
you want his'n, that's envy. But you
can't help ii when you amt Christian.
Your father would never spend $l2 for
a big dictionary for you In a hundred
years, but ifyou was to win one in a hard
spelling match, he would make you study
il nights till you nearly went crazy.
That's always the way.
When your mother is frying doughnuts.
and you're hungry. il don't make any diff
ference how her hair IL combed. or II IL Is
combed at all or not: just tell her that you
think she looks so han some with her hair
done up in that way. and she will feed you
on hot doughnuis till you sw, II up like
toad.
When sack of peanuts gets busted on
a dray and split out on the street. and
your pockets don't hold many, because
they're nearly full Of other things, then
daily newspaper would be good thing to
have, and would be useful.
Why IL the world like your father? This
Is a hard conundrum, which you might as
well give IL up. Because the world Is
round always, like ball; but your father
Is round only of a Saturday afternoon
early, just when you don't want him, and
when the circus in the stable has only just
commenced. -Louisriii Courier-Journdt.
