AN Iowa ENoCu ARDEN.-Enoch
Arden has been outdonc in Council Bluffs,
Iowa. Some time prior to the war yours
couple met and loved. After short court
ship they were married and lived happily
together. When the war broke out the
husband shouldcrcd musket in dcftusc of
his country. Letters came regularly for
time, and then ceased. Word was sent
home that he had been taken prisoner, and
soon after, the dread news came that he
was dead. Tie news was considered so
authentic that the government allowed the
widow and her children pension. After
a reasonable time she listened to the plead
ings of another suitor and married him.
The second husband proved to be a worth
less drunkard, and she got divorce on the
ground of intemp rance. Not content with
her bad luck. sh concluded to marry again,
her third being even a worse failure than
her second husband. After the third had
abandoned his home, the first husband un,
cxpcctcdy turned up and resumed his re-
sponsbilitics.

ADAM AN AMERICAN.- This is indeed Il
progressive age. The astonishing diScov-
cry has been made by an c..inent philologist
of Europe, DR.. Rudolph Falk, that the
proScnitor Of the human race, father Adam
was an American, and he has really commu.
nicatcd the result Of his researches to Il
newspaper Of Vienna. Rev Joseph vii
der, ID. d., pastor Of the Union Congrcga
'ional Church, Brooklyn, says he can sec
no reason why Adam should net have been
an American. The question whether Adam
was a Yankee or Il Southcrncr seems not t.
be definitely settled, tho the hypothesis
alleged to be, is in favor Of his being Il
Southern man. DR.. Falk says that he has
always argued that Noah's Ark was built
in South America, and that it floatcd away
from West to East, ABOUT six thousand
miles; and that Charleston is in IL direct
line with Mount Arrarat, a Jortio'I Adam
may have been placed in the garden of
Eden on the American continent. How

A CAT AS a MEDIUM-Somo of our
readers may already have seen the following,
but it is SO good we connot resist giving it !:
a bashiul young peasant was greatly capti-
waited by the charms of pretty girl in his
own station of life. He was exceedingly
anxious to ask her to marry him, and had
often resolved to do SO, but So far his cour-
age had always failed him when the oppor-
tunity arrived. However, one night he
resolved to hear his fate in spite of
his modesty, so he started off to spend
the evening with her. When he ar
rived to his JOY her parents were from
home, and she was seated knitting ut the
kitchen fire, with large grey cat lying at
her feet. Jamie sat down beside her, but
not word could he say till at the end of
half an hour he inwa7dly resolved to "fnish
his business y SO acting on "happy
thought" he placed the cat upon his knee,
and stamered out:
PUSSY, ask Lizzie will she marry me ?"
Lizzie bushcd and smiled, but managed
to say:
"pussy. tell Jamie III take him."

VARIETY OF CRors.-Thcrc is perhaps
nothing that would tend more to advance
our agriculture than a general disposition
among farmers to diversity their industry by
enlarsing tho soc:S, of their crops. There
d,feGtioh, and it is always easy to add to the
assortment of farm products, either by in.
Producing commodities that are entirely
new, or by rcvivinS and improving the cui-
ture Of some that have been comparatively
neglected. Every new commodity that far
mcrs can successfully raise and proftably
sell, tends to diminish the uncertainty of
their business, and to increase the average
profit. 1t also dimnishcs the liability to
injurious competition, and by adding to the
resources of the farm makes the owner a
more Independent man. Mixed husbandry
is undoubtedly, as a rule, the surcst and
safest system to follow, and in the long run
the most profitable. Special farming is
always more or less hazardous, as the in
creased risk involved in it is usually out Of
all proportion to the prospective gain The
great point Of difference between the two
systems may be very briefly stated. Special
farming is game of chance mixed hus.
bandry is game Of skill. The man who
devotes his acres mainly to one or two crops,
runs thcgauntlct ofso many chances that he
becomes rather speculator than farmer
But nc who pursues intclliScntly q system
OF general farming, including q varied as
sortmcnt OF products, plants his business on
broad foundation, and has tie chances Of
success nearly all in his favor
Among the products Of agriculture can
nI Ixyn, hn I'll,
and value that are only occasionally raised
by farmers, but which, if the market price
were little higher, or the cost Of produc-
ing them little less, could be at once
widely and prDitably cultivated, and farm
crs would gladly avail themselves of the
opportunities if prices were matter in their
control. Now, in reference to such articles
of production as these, although it may be
true enough that the producer cannot al.
ways determine the market price. yet it is
equally true, and even more important, that
he can in many cases do what is perhaps
still better, he can reduce the cost of pro.
Iuction, and this, in the end. is gain for
the public as well as for the farmer If. 10y
thus reducing the cost, he succeeds in Sc.
curing for his new product fair and rcmu.
ncrativc profit at current prices, he rises at
once to the position Of successful man
and public bcncfactor, for he establishes a
new line Of industry, and extends the
boundaries Of his vocation
Again, whenever a new and important
use is discovered for any Of the regular pro-
ducts Of the farm sufficient to materially in
crease the demand for it in the general
market, this gives at once an additional
