the shape Of a mess Of cucumbers and as
paragus from his garden. Charley is one

their season.. There is no cholera or chole-
ra-morbus in Charley's eucumbers.
Butter is becoming a pretty slow arti-
c,e in the market, and ranging at a low fig
ure. Some Of the dealers in the county who
shipped earlier in the season, fail to get re-
turns, and as now held, hardly warrants
a net of more than a shilling, being con
siderably below the price paid, and the
price which some Of our home dealers are
paying.

The Senior is here again, from some
thing less than weeks survey of the Cen
tenniaiH show. The strongest impression
upon the mind Of the stranger in behold
ing this great show, is its magnitude and
vastness. The superficial area is such as to
tax endurance to its utmost. Thsre is am
pie scope for all the physical ability and
vital energy that can be brought into exer-
else, even with the best provision that can
be made. in these particulars, wearisome-
ness and The seEerest tax Of the powers of
endurance are inevitable. Beside these
the weather is hot and exertion puts the
body into a powerful ooze. When we add

heat admitted by the glass roofing, and the
anxiety and impotence to master situa-
alton beyond onr ken, the visitor catches
some idea Of the difficulty and trials
that beset him upon the start. Composure
and qjhetAess Of mind, and freedom. from
the care Of others, or business, and a con-
sciOusness Of the possession, not only Of
abundant time, but a somewhat plethorie
purse, will enable one 10 enter upon the
work OF doing the Centennial with the best
hope Of satisfactory success. If we can
get hold Of these ideas in advance, and
deliberately set to work to accommodate
ourselves to them, much viii be accom-
piished, and much vexation and WEAKNESS
avoided. Theseonsiderations here aIludedto
