INDIGNANT POLLY WOG.

INDIGNANT POLLY WOG.
A tree.toad, dressed in apple-green,
Sat on a messy log
Beside pond, and shrilly sang,
"Come forth, my Polly Wog-
My POl-my Ly-my WOg,
My pretty Polly Wog;
I've something very sweet to say,
My slender Polly Wog
1.-THE air is molst-the moon is hid
Behind heavy fog.
No stars are ont to wink and blink
At you, my Polly Wog-
My Pol my Ly-my Wog,
My graceful Polly Wog;
oh, tarry not, beloved one
Ny precions Polly Wogl"
Just then away went Clouds and there
A.sitting on the log
The other end mean-the moon
Showed angry Polly WOg.
Her small eyes flashed-she swellcd until
She looked almost frog;
I" How dare VOW call me, sir" she asked
"Your precious Polly Wog"
Why, one would think your life was spent
In some low, muddy bog;
Ia have you know, to strange young toads
My name is Mary Wog"
One wild, wild laugh that Uce-toad gave,
And tumbled off the log,
And on the ground he kicked and screamed,
sob Mary, Mary WogI
Oh Mal-Oh Ry Oh Wog!
Oh proud Miss Mary WOg
Oh goodness gracious what jokel
Hulrah for Mary Wogl"

How TO MAKE MONEY AT FARMING
Every cultivator wants to know primari-
ly how to make money. He follows his
calling us merchant pursues his bust
ness. 1t is not merely that he farms to
live and be comfortable. lie wants to dc
all that, but he would like to make ga
pile," as people in other walks of life try
to do.
Every now and then the newspapers try
to tell him how to get rich; and it is gen
orally by planting this Or that, by trying
upland rice" or some such article now
sure to be in demand; and above all "ad-
verlise in our columns" Or perhaps he
will be told TO 90 here, or settle there,
where land is cheap and no manure need
cd, or where in some way there is to be
some especial advantage which no other
man but himself, or at least few other
men, are to possess.
We have been struck with passage in
one of the obituary notices of Vanderbilt,
with which the newspapers of late have
been so profuse. He died worth, it is
said, over fifty millions. When asked
how he brought this all about he replied,
by having a business you like, trying to
understand it, and then stick to it and to
no other. People thought he was a spec
ulator, but he was no such thing. What
ever he bought or sold had an immediate
relation to The exact business he had in
hand. lie despised speculation; and it is
well to let our farmers boys, who think
that it is SO easy to get II living by the
chances of city speculations, know this.
He loved his business and labored ut it,
but it was not till half his life had passed
away that he was worth twenty thousand
dollars. 1t was not till comparatively old
age that he became rich. Had Wander
bilt died at fifty, as 50 many do, his obitua-
ries would have been very short and COM
monplace. Time was quite us favorable
to his great fortune as any other element
that entered into it. Still, as he tells us,
the foundation was in sticking to his bust
ness; and this is just the lesson we are
always trying to teach. There is not
farmer in I'LL this wide land but if he had
IL genuine love for his business, Il deter
mination to stick to it through thick and
thin, and with good saving habits and or
binary business prudence, but may in
time become rich. 1t needs no outside
speculations, no ventures on new patents
OF new plants. He need not go from this
part Of the world to another lie should
Of course use some little discrimination at
first, choosing healthy locations, fair
markets, good neighbors, intelligent So
ciety, and so on. But having once made
up ones mind where to locate, stick to it.
There is no more certain way to make
money in the wide world than at farming
or gardening .-GermantO0n Telegraph.

EARLY ToMAToEs.-A lady in Ypsilanti
Mich, thus describes her method Of get
ting early tomatoes: 81 take old oyster
cans. or tin fruit cans, us many rs you
desire for early plants; put few pieces
of coal, brick and leaves or other rubbish
in the lotion, fill up with good mellow
soil, place few seeds in each, of some
good variety, as Early Smooth Red, or
Hathaway's Excelsior" When they
come up pull out all but two, or as they
grow, take out one more. | should have
said set the cans after sowing the seed
along the window sill where the sun shines
keep moist When it comes cool weather
set them ont of doors so as to harden SLOW
ly, when you wish to set out When
danger from frost has past, lay the cans
down on the side in the sun for n day, I'M
til the lump of soil becomes loose. Have
your border prepared for them in warm,
good place, not too rich; turn them out
without breaking. Set about three feet
apart; keep wet for few days and they
will not be disturbed. As they grow pruno
and treIis.'
