SALEM !" HURRYGRAPHS.'
/ The era Of springs work is over, ant
the carefully cultivated fields bearing
the impress of many days hard Wofb
are now. committed to the omnipotent
hand for the beautiful and mysterious
unfolding Of the harvest But during
1.-THE interval between seed time and
harvest the farmer enjoys no respite
from his labors. Each day is crowded
with work which must necessarily be
done in order to insure him the slight
est degree of success. Yet this fact is
no disparagement to farm-llfe. Every
vocation, however inviting, has its work
1 and yexations, and Of the many, which
one affords a more happy independent
life than farming? And the farm Ell
too, may justly assert bis nobility as

! tramp, who it seems is Q worthless
genus from the city, where III too
many instances he was too proud, lndo-
lent. or thriftless to tie himself down to
trade and the attendant hard work.
THE resultTWe ali know. Though pride,
/ Incidence, and an ainlless, instructed
life he has degenerated into o trouble
some parasite to society.
1t will be observed that this spring
has been a remarkable season for house
cleaning. Every town III the county
has q had a renOvating Time. Tie
houses have undergone q thorough
cleaning from garnet to foundatiOn,and
SO permeated were the rooms with the
'odor of paint, turpentine and Varnish,
it seems proyidential that the county
has escaped an epidemic OF painters
collie. Our folks strongly predisposed
to cleanliness Of course had the house
cleaning mania. And the wear and
tear OF several days. severe work at it
was quite too much for their endurance,
so for the first time I was drafted into
the whiteWash service. / am grieved
to say my withdrawing resembles

receiving their usual compliment We're
the recipient Of drop OF Wh1teWash,
which | think gave me areallzlng sense
Of SIMPSONS suffering when those hor-
rid Philistines were picking out his

convert my head into respectable nod
Of mortar was the proportionate guam

like the rest Of the family, was eX-
hausted, and looked and felt as old as
the Telegraph.
Now [ think Of it, for the ladies edi-
fication, will just mention our looking
glass ornament which / designed my
self. & naturally is very designing.) Ii
is made of birds eggs and peacock's
feathers / pierced the eggs with a
darning needle, the. contents Of. which
I blew into a tea-oup and then strung
the shells on No. SO Coats thread. The
next morning the hired girl utilized the
meat Of the bird's-eggs for settling cot
fee, for you know we farmers have to
practice rigid economy, fQrego style,
land we cannot possibly be troubled
with tranaps any more ii we expect eyer
to get very rich Having prepared my
materials for the ornament ] arranged
them in the following manner. | took
the feathers, the string Of shells, and
some mucilage and. Well now you
will excuse me, really ! can't tell how
I did arrange them. But any way, all
my friends pronounce the ornament q
miracle of taste and beauty as it hangs
Wreath-like over the looking-glass.
| Salem, my native town, is unusually
calm, and in furnishing condition for
news. *
