Woman's Faith in Glue.

1t is the firm belief of woman
that everything can be mended with
glue, or By some other adhesive
mixture. There is no possible
breakage which furniture can I'M
dergo which she will not boldly at
tempt to repair with whatever
sticky material happens to be at
hand. There is nothing more beau
tiful and pathetic than the unfalter-
ing trust placed by a pure, good
woman in mucilage. A man may
become hardened by long years of
vice and wickedness, but when he
sees a woman try to fasten a bro
ken leg to the dining room table
with mucilage, he is melted to
tears. 1t is certainly strange that
this faith in mucIlage should not he
in the least degree shaken by n
thousand failures. Experience, like
argument, has no effect in leading a
woman to doubt the efficacy of that
feeble ana pretentious gum, and she
will go on trying TO stick together
broken pianos and wrecked bed
steads, though she has never known
mucilagc to stick anything together
with any permanence, except the
hair of troublesome children.
With the cruel and heartless pur-
pose of playing upon the hottest
emotions of the female heart, Ger
tain depraved persons have from
time TO time put upon the market
bottles of alleged glue, which they
have represented to be capable OF
sticking anything together, from
two halves of lead pencil up TO
the broken pieces of steamer $
shaft. Millions OF money have been
paid out for these deluslve bottles
by trusting women, but the mixture
which they contained was found to
be as iaithless as muoilage. Doubt
less there were many things which
it could mend, but for any OF
the capital operations, such rs the
gluing of tue back of an up
right chair 30 It's seat, or the fasten-
ing of a loose door knob to the
Interpretations in which women
take peculiar delight was use
less. It's power for evil is, how
ever, nearly gone, for most women
have lost all faith ia it, and have re
turned to mucilage with more conf
dcnce than ever.

To Young Men on Marriage.

The true girl has to be sought
out. She does not parade herself
as show goods. Generally she is
not rich. But oh, what heart she
has when you find her-so pure, so
wamanly. If you gain her love,
your two thousand are a million.
She will not ask you for q carriage
or a first-class house. She will
wear simple dresses and will turn
them when necessary, with no vul
gar maglficat to trown upon her
economy. She will keep everything
neat and nice in your sky parlor,
and give you SUCH a welcome when
you return home at night that you
will think your parlor higher than
ever. She will entertain true
friends on dollar, and will aston
ish you with new thought,
how very little of real happiness
depends on money. She will make
you love home, (if you don't you
are a brute) and teach you how to
pity, while you scorn a poor fash
ionable society which thinks itself
rich, and vainly tries to think itself
happy. Now do not, | pray you,
say any more, 81 can't afford to
marry" Go find the true woman,
and you can. Throw away the CT
gar, burn up that switch cane, be
sensible yourself, and seek your
wife in a sensible way Exchange.

Enriching Worn-out Soil.

l have some experience in buying
and enriching WORKOUT soil. 1t
makes great deal of difference
whether you buy worn-out farm
to start on, or buy one that is loca-
ted adjoining your own rich farm.
If you have rich, productive farm
upon which you can raise heavy
crops of grass, wheat, oats and
corn, SO as TO enable you 70 keep a
heavy stock of sheep, cattle, etc.,
you can in few years enrich your
farm of poor land by seeding it
down to grass, applying your ma
nure where most needed, and rang
ing your stock upon it. By this
treatment you will have rich and
fertile piece OF land in a very few
years. If you buy a farm Of poor
land and have no other you will
have to go slower. In the first
place you will have to plow your
land and SOW grain IN order to get
it to grass. Use all the manure you
can gather on the surface when you
seed it to grass. Farm as little as
you can for several years. Keep
all the stock you can winter and
save every shovel full of manure.
Plow we'll and deep, and in a few
years your farm will show marked
signs of Improvement You will
soon be able to pillow more, raise
more grain, and keep more stock,
the manure OF which will soon en-
rich your farm to high state of
fertility. Never.buy fertilizers, but
always manage TO make them your
self, on your farm, thus saving the
money, much OF which is thrown
away at best N. r. Harris.

True Words.

An agricultural exchange says
THE argument that would restrict
the product of grain and provisions
on account of low prices is falla-
cious. Nothing is so sallable to day,
either at home or abroad, as food
for man or beast. The most sue
cessfpl farmer will be he who stud
dies the markets and produces such
crops as are most in demand, he
who secures the greatest yield at
the least cost, he who strives by
close economics of labor and eX-
penditure to restrict his OUTLAWS
within his income; and finally sue
cess will attend those who deter
mine to be masters of their calling,
who call to their aid the advanced
thought, method and investigation
Of the times and who bring system
and intelligence to bear upon every
branch of husbendry. The farm
ing of the future must be conduct
ed on business principles, with a
thorough knowledge of cost and
market value while the profits
must be derived not so much from
increased prices as from enlarged
production and improved quality,
with diminished cost"

AUTUMN.

Let people talk Of how'ry Spring,
OF April's gentle showers;
Of sweet toned birds that como and sing
To while away the hours
And let them talk of budding trees,
And scented flowers Ia May,
Of balmy June and busy bees,
And megds with new mown hay
l know tits sweet when Winters DER
To feel that he il past;
That we shall feel his breath no more
While Spring and summer last;
And then It's very sweet TO see
The birds and lowers and trees;
But there are hours which seem to me
To be as bright as these.
They are the hours when scorching rays,
OF August's sun are gone;
When silently yon sunburnt maize
Stands waving in the sun.
W hon forest leaves are turned TO brown
And many calored hue,
And one by one come whirling down
To kiss the brooklet blue.
The scenes which in those days are rife
With beauty claim my eye;.
] then contrast with human life
The life of leaves that die;
And wish that when this life shall close,
That l when death IL near,
Shall sweetly sink to my rePose,
As does the dying year.
Yes, let them talk of lovely Spring,
And April's gentle showers;
Ofblooming flowers, and birds that sing
Through all the golden hours.
Though Spring with all her winning ways
May always seem so dear;
Give ME ''The melancholy days,
The saddest of the year"

AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Farming.

When the Legislature meets it is
hoped that farning-the great in
{ terest of our State-will be looked
after. and that laws will be enacted
/ that will give 1T n stimulus. Laws
are needed in regard to our public
roads; protection should he extend
ed to sheep; in fact there are 9th
er provisions requisite for the we'll
doing of the farmer This paper
will refer to these matters at anoth
er time Who does not recognize
the Importance of agriculture?
Who does not admire it's beauties?
Lord John Russell not only confess
ed to its importance, but wrote also
on its advantages in a moral point
OF view. swift thought that who
ever could make Two ears of corn
OF two blades of grass grow upon "a
spot OF ground where only one grew
before would deserve better of man
kind, and do more essential service
to his country than the whole race
of politicians put together" Lord
Chatham thought trade increases
the wealth and glory of a country,
but its real strength and stamina
are to be looked for among the cul-
tivators of the Iahd,' and our own
poet, Whittier, says:
Give fools their gold, and knaves their power,
Let fortane's bubbles rise and fall;
Who sows a field, or trains flower,
Or plants a tree, is more than all.
Farming is business just as are
commercial matters, manufactures,
or any other trades. Members of
the Legislature are ever ready TO
look after merchants and manufac
turers, and advance their interest
We trust that as agriculture sup
plies much of the life OF our State,
it may meet with much considera

Nevada's Female Hermit.

Old Mother Dildine, the female
hermit, who lives in the mountains
about fifteen miles south of town,
says the Sutro Independent. made
her semi-annual visit to Sutro last
Wednesday to sell few eggs and
lay in a scanty supply of groceries
and other provisions. In converse
ton she seemed quite self-pOssessed
and intelligent. She says she will
be sixty years old next October; that
she has lived alone in the mountains
now for twelve years, and that she
is perfectly happy in living seclu-
ded from the outside world. Her
only support is that which she is
able to derive from two hundred
and sixty AngOra goats and eight
hens. She says she is seldom visit
ed by the witches, and prefers new
er to see one about her premises,
for in nearly every instance they
tease her about her mode of living,
and after their departure she wor
ries over their conduct toward her.
She likes the Piutes, and even seeks
their companionship? They have
never yet seen her in need but that
they would shoot some rabbits or
kill few birds for her relief, and in
cold weather they shared the
warmth of their blankets with her.
In height this singular woman is
about five feet six inches, and in ac-
tions sprIghtly. Her dark auburn
hair lies in wavelets about her fore
head, and hangs about her head in
long curls. Her dress is neat and
in no way conforms with that she
is reported to wear in the noun
tains.
She is a native of Massachusetts,,
and has two brothers living in West
port, in that State, and a sister Inv
ing in Lowell Her living a recluse
was brought about by domestic
troubles In her married life yearsago.

1t will be well for farmers to re-
member the extraordinary yields
which have been obtained from
very small plots of land. It's some
thing worth examining into, to
count up the cost OF getting five
bales of cotton from one acre OF
land or getting them from fifteen
or twenty acres. The Planter
Grange has recently referred to a
fact, already widely known, that. of
five bales of cotton having been OBJ
tanned by Mr.. Warthen, of Wash
ington county, Georgia, from a sin
gle acre; also to the fact that an
Alabama farmer has succeeded in
obtaining 225 bushels of corn from
an acre, while instances are numer-
Gus Of from 100 to $50 bushels from
the same area. Mr.. Rose of Epson
county it is stated gathered 225
bushels of oats from one acre and IA
fraction.
