THE PINT OF ALE.-A Manchester calico printer was on his wedding day asked by his wife to allow her two half pint of ale day as her share of extra comforts. He made the bargain, but not cheerfully, for though drinker himself, (fancing, no doubt,t that he could not we'll do without ) he would have preferred perfectly sober wife, but he could not break away from his old associates at the ale-house, and when not in the factory or at his meals he was with his boon companions. His wife made his small allowance meet her house. keeping expenses keeping her cot neat and tidy. and he could not complain that she insisted on her pint of ale, while he very likely drank two or three quarts Once in a while the wife succeeded, by gentle, loving artiice, in drawing her husband home an hour or two earlier than usual, and very rarely she persuaded him to spend whole evening in her company. They had been married year, and on the morning of their welded anniversary John looked with real pride upon the neat and comedy person of his wife, and with @ touch of remorse in his look and tone, he said:
 "Mary, wen had no holiday since we were wed, and only that havn't a penny i tn world we'd take a jaunt to the viii lage to see thee mother"
 "Would like to go, John?" she asked.
 There was a tear with her smile, for It touched her heart to hear him speak ten derly as in the old times.
 ''If thee'd like to go, John. I'll stand treat"
 "Thou stand treat, Mary Hast thou got fortin' left thee?"
 May. but I'm gotten the pint O. ale, ,' she added. n@ 1g,*s
 "Gotten what, wife?'

 And thereupon she went to the hearth, and from beneath one of the stone flags drew forthsa stocking, from which she poured upon the table three-pences- Ills. Sd.-exclaiming: m D

 ''Mary, hasn't thee had any share ? Then I'll ha' no more fro this day"

DoEs CONNECTICUT FARMING PAY "A man averse to farm labor, rejecting the discipline of the farm. returns from war campaigning at its close, and buys fifty acre farm, farm merely in name, paying part i'll money but more in promises and securities (notes and mortgages), and starts farming for profit. His wife is a New York woman who doesn't know the difference except by texture-between ''cheese and gilt-edged" butter, but she churns out the handsomest butter that is put on any table, public or private, in this city, which is engaged in advance by one of our most exacting hotels, which takes 1t at price above that of the general market. When the retired soldier takes the place 1t is hardly more than q pasture, supporting only one horse and two cows. the fences down, the barns Il wreck, and the dwelling hardly better, as d shelter, than Shanty. In eleven years he makes the place support family of six, nine COWS, two. hoses, three cnives, four hogs, and plenty Of fowls. From these nine cows-Alderney and grade T ,50O pounds of butter have been made and sold ar used at home this season. Of the tifty- acre farm seven are woodland, eight ara ble, and the rest pasture. This is the ex- perlence of an amateur farmer in BIoom- field. Ees'd all this, the house has been made comfortable, the barns repaired the increasing family supported, all lis help hired and paid, and the man says his ex- pertinent of eleven years proves that farm ing is profitable.
