A Successful Little Farmer.

A very successful amateur farmer has got in
his crops at Westfield, Mass. His name is
Thos. Webster Hays; his age is five years. Ear
ly in the season the ground was made ready,
the cabbages were set and the corn and pota-
toes planted by his grandfather. Every morn
ing since they were large enough, this little fe-
low has given them thorough hoeing, and
it is surprising what constant stirring of the
soil will do. Some of his cabbages will
weigh at least twenty pounds; one of his
potatoes weighed nineteen ounces, and his
corn is very much larger and better than his
grandfather's which was planted at the same
time. He offers to plant for the old gentle
man next season.

THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN.-A man in
want of load of wood visited one of the
markets to make choice. Finding load
that suited, he asked the owner if there was
cord on the wagon.
81 think there is" was the reply.
"Do you know that there is"
"My son loaded it up, and he said there
was cord"
swell, what do you say" asked the citizen.
"And my other son, helped to load it up,
and he said there was cord"
"Do you say sop"
sand my neighbor came and he said there
was cord ?"
II don't believe there is"
"And my wife stood at the gate as / came
away, and she said there was q cord" con-
tinued the farmer.
"There may be three-quarters," said the
citizen.
"And as l came Though the toll-gate the
keeper said he would eat it if it wasn't cord
and half"
"He did ?"
"And the policeman stopped me, and want.
ed to know how much wanted for that cord
and three quarters of beautiful wood"
The citizen took it before the wood could
swell any more,

Salt the Old Pastures.

A few years since had an old pasture that
patched with moss. mixed a few barrels
of salt and wood ashes, and applied about
two barrels of the mixture per acre, covering
about half the lot The result surprised me-
Before fall the moss had nearly all disappear
ed, and the weeds were rapidly following suit
while the grass came in thick. assuming
dark green color, and made fine pasturage
The balance ofthe lot remained as unproduct-
i've as before, but the following year was

The True Mother.

D'Alembert was the son of celebrated
lady of high rank, who to conceal her indis-
erection, caused him to be exposed on the
steps of the church of St. Roce. He was
found by poor woman, who earned a liveli-
hood by her needle. She adopted him, main
tanned him by the produce of her labor and
placed him in the College of Montaigu The
young man protited by the instruction he re-
ceived, so that, like Pascal, he made new dis
coveries in Geometry in his fifteenth year.
His name soon became known all over Eu-
rope, and the learned courted the society of
the young student of Montaigu. Such was
the fame acquired by his early talents, that
the lady at last began to be proud of having
given birth to such son. His fostcr-mother
had been watched and consequently, the real
mother had obtained information concerning
the fate of the child, but without contributing
towards his subsistence. Panity brought
about what the voice of nature was incapa-
BILE of effecting. She one day repaired to the
college, and requested to see the youth. He
came. She began a long harangue on the
tyranny of prejudice, on the pain she felt at
being obliged to forsake him, and so forth II
am your mother" said she.
"You my mother, madam. You are mis-
taken, have no mother, but her who took
care of me in my infancy"
He turned his back on her and never saw
her more, but continued the affectionate and
dutiful son of the seamstress, and repaid her
with interest in her old age for the care she
had bestowed on his childhood.
