IHE QUESTION orwEEDs.-Every good farm
er Knows that TO Insure satisfactory crops hls
land must be cultivated in the best manner,
aud II it is so cultivated few weeds will be
found upon it. Sometimes, even upon well man
aged farms, field here and there, owing TO
adverse weather, 8 shortness Of hands, or a
rush OF work generally. may be neglected for q
few days and the weeds may get a start: bu,
this happens rarely, and an observing nan can
always judge OF the character OF a farmer by
s'anc'ns his eve over his premises. II the
weeds are not to be regularly and systematic
ally destroyed, the idea OF conducting agrlcul-
tural operations proftably may as well be aban-
doned, for the one is Incompatible with the
other. And even this is more pointedly so with
the garden. Weeds and garden crop are as
antagonstic as life and death. They cannot
stand upon the same platform, One must ibe
master, and 1t is for the owner TO say which. If
garden is systematically worked,-and with
out system no garden is worth haying,-the
labor OF keeping down the weeds ia reduced
one-half. But let them once get ahead. and
they may be fought all summer and prove VIC
torious in the end. Again, let 10 weeds 90 to
seed; and do not throw into the public high
way such as do, to be washed down upon the
land OF your neighbors.- Germl ntown Tele--

PLEASANT TRAVELLING CoMPANIoNs.-The pas

to Berlin were aroused from sleep by the shrieks
OF lady who insisted that she was being stab
bed with sharp instruments in several places.
She would not submit to examination, and the
guard was at his Wits end what to do, when a
stout gentleman roared out that he, too, was
being pricked CT Jelly in various parts Of the
thigh. Fortunately the am was near station
at which the guard gave orders to have it stop
ped, and the lady and gentleman were handed
out their companions following them, with no
small curiosity into the waiting room. The
gentleman was promptly searched, and six
colossal leeches were discovered to be feasting
themselves upon bis leg. The lady swooned
fom fright and weakness, and had to be left
behind in the care OF local doctor. II appears
that one OF the passengers I'd brought an
