Coon ADVICE In the pocket book
of the Hon. Stephen Allen, who was
drowned when the Henry Clay was
burned on the Hudson several years
since, was found printed slip. appar-
sutly cut from newspaper, of which
the following is copy. 1t is worthy
to be engraved on every young mans
heart: "Make few promises. Always
speak the truth Never speak evil Of
any one. Keep good company or none
Live up to your engagements Never
play game Of chance. Drink no kind
of intoxicating liquors Good charac-
ter is above all things else. Keep your
own secrets, if you have any Never
borrow if you can possibly help it, Do
net marry until you are able to support
wife. Keep yourself innocent if you
would be happy. When you speak to
a person, look him in the face. Make
no haste to be rich, if you wsuld pros
per. Ever live (misfortune excepted)
within your income Save when you
are young to spend when you are old.
Avoid temptation, through fear you
may not Withstand it. Never run into
debt unless you see a way to get out
again. Small and steady gains give
competency, with tranquil mind
Good company and good conversation
are the sinews of virtue. Your char
acter cannot be essentially injured, ex-
cept by your own acts. If any one
speak evil of you, let your life be SO
that no one will believe him. When
you retire to bed, think over what you
have been doing during the day. Never
be idle; if your hands can't be employ
ed usefully, attend to the cultivation of
your mind Read over the above max
inns carefully and thOughtfully at least

A SAFE BUSINESS. "A young man
from the country who had recently
come into possession of few thousand
dollars, visited an uncle in the city, an
old merchant, to get his advice about
investing his capital in business go
back to the country, young man, /" said
the merchant, "and invest your money
in land Buy farm, settle down on
it and do a safe business I have been
in business here nearly forty years, and
have accumulated fortune, but it has
been done by fearful risk. heavy res
possibility, constant toll and worrying
anxieties. A dozen times / have been
on the verge of bankruptcy, and twice
I have been sorely tempted to take my
own life OF ten men who commenced
business here when I did, only one be-
side myself succeeded. The rest all
failed, one after another, some dragging
their families down to poverty and dis
grace. Take my advice Keep away
from the city aud its delusive business
avenues. Quiet contentment on a mod
crate competency in the country is the
best fortune l could wish you" This
advice, from one who had made trade a
success. ought to have weighty iufu-
ence on young men who contemplate
abandoning the farm for a business life
in town. 1t ought to have much greater
influence than similar advice from one
who had failed of success, for obvious
reasons. The old merchants conclu-
sions are corroborated by the expert
ence of thousands, and by facts obtained
by investigation A recent statement
in an eastern paper says that out of
every one thousand traders. but seven
succeed Of one thousand one hundred
and twelve bankrupts who took the
benefit Of the bankrupt law in Massa-
chusetts, only fourteen were farmers,
and of two thousand five hundred and
fifty in New York, only forty-six were
farmers That is, less than two per
cent of all bankrupts were farmers. and
over ninety-eight per cent. we're traders
The difference is largely increased when
the large excess of the farming popula-
tion over that Of trade is considered.

To raise melons successfully the most
important things to be taken into con-
sideration are the selection Of soil, its
preparation, the distance between the
hills, the time of planting and the after
civilizations.
And irst, rich sandy loan is nm
doubtedly the most suitable soil in
which to grow them, although a still
gray soil will produce them perhaps
as sweet, if not SO early; but if too
thin; the more manure will be requir-
ed. that from the hog pen being con
sidered best.
In preparing the ground it should
be deeply plowed the fall or winter pre-
vious. or as early in the spring as pos
sible, and in either case reploWed and
finely pulverized at the time of making
the hills, which should be done some
two or three weeks before planting.
To make the hills. the land, if for wa
termelons, should be first checked off
at distances about eight feet apart
each way, running the plow once up
and down the furroW to make it as deep
as possible. Then at each intersection
of the burrows scrape out with s weed
ing hoe hole about foot deep and
some two or three feet in diameter,
into which throw as much as peck or
more well rotted manure, and draw
thereon as much of the surrounding
soil as will form a goodsized hill.
In the Middle States the most suita-
Bile time for planting is the first of May,
replanting the hills as often as occa-
sion may require until a good stand is
obtained. On going to plant the hills
should be first chopped down, the
earth and manure thoroughly mixed,
the hills reformed, and five or six seed
planted in each hill. As soon as the
plants are fairly up the one-horse bar
share plow should be introduced, and
the plants sided" both ways, BY
running the bar side Of the plants and
throwing the earth away from them,
following the same with hoes to brush
round, and thin out the plants to three
or four. In the meantime a sharp
lookout should be kept for the striped
bugs, the only efectual way of guard
against the depredations of which is
to visit the vines early in the mornings
and destroy them by hand.
After the siding" is completed and
the plats brushed around with the hoes
and thiuned, the furrow should be re-
the dirt thrown towards the
plants, and the whole space between
the bills plOwed out, repeating the lat
ter operation every eight or ten days
until the vines have attained such
growth as to interfere with the further
use Of the plow.
The cultivation Of the canteleup is
similar to that Of the watermelon, ex-
,ept that the distance between the hills
md quantity of manure need not be so
great.
If hog manure is not accessible the
nexe best thing is compost made of
table manure, woods, earth and ashes
two parts earth, and one part ashes, :.
% which add = sprinkling Of plaster.
mixing the same well together and al
owing it to stand in heap for a
week or two before applying in the
ill.
After all, the production Of good
Melons will depend on the seed. It
will not do merely to save seed from
rood melons. but it is also necessary
hat the good melons should have grown
where no other variety grew.

REvERsEs OF FoRTUNE-How many

life, have been reduced to the necessity
of sxerting their talents to gain sub
sistencel You are all, probably, ac-
quainted with some such you may,
perhaps, have heard it remarked of
them, that their trials have rendered
their characters more interesting and
valuable, by throwing them upon their

enjoy prosperity may have no fear that
your situations will ever change you
may not conceive the possibility Of suf-
fering those reverses which you have
witnessed in others. But riches are

may wreck the freighted vessel, on
which families may depend for wealth
fire may consume property; the failures
of others may involve the channels of
trade may be turned manufacturing
interests may decline, or landed estates
may sink in value upon these, and

PLANTING CoRN IN Drills. s.-Among
the experiments of the Kansas Agricul-
tulral College last year was one having
for its object to ascertain the relative
values Of the two methods Of planting
corn--in hills and in drills. -Four plaEs
were laid of across a portion of the
field very uniform as to the character
Of its SOIL Each plat contained four
rows ofcorn, the rows being three and
half feet apart. In the first plat the
corn was planted in drill, in the second
in hills. after the common fashion; again.
the third was planted in drills and the
fourth in hills. When the corn was
about six inches the drilled plats were
thinned out leaving the stalks as nearly
as possible ten inches apart in the rows;
the plats in hills we're likewise thinned
out, leaving the same number of stalks
in every plat throughout the expert
ment. In cultivating the plats care
was taken to give each tho same treat
ment, and beyond thinning, hoeing
once and cultivating twice, no special
treatment was given the plats. The
corn. was husked November IL, and
the weighings showed for the drilled
plats a yield of seventy-ons bushels per
acre for the plats in bills sixty-tWo
and half bushels per acre-an advantage
in favor of the method of planting in
drills of eight and a half bushels per
acre. By the "bushel'' Of corn men
toned in these experiments it is to be
understood in every case seveuty-twO
pounds of ears.

He's gone but then what do care,
Like other men, he'll find,
That when woman says she will,
Man must her wishes mind.
His last words fell upon my ear;
pll never more return
And really now, am in fear,
HIS love, to hate, will turn.
And if it should well don't care,
I'll independent be,
There re other faces just as fair,
And men as good as he.
Oh stupid Ounce, l was indeed,
In having my own way,
Ifhe we're here, now would plead,
Forgiveness, and obey.
mol I'll not crafty him so,
And in submission bow;
I'd never ask forgiveness no
Not then, would not now.
And yet love him far more dear,
Than all the world beside,
But still l want it to appear
That love, has long since died.
IT'S not woman's turn of mind,
Or disposition pray,
To own her faults when in the wrong,
If she can have her way.
Perchance my fault it might have been,
In driving him away;
But, if he fingers till call,
He'll ever from me stay.
