Josh Billings Philosophy.

Kindness IL never wholly wasted, but when
you are dealing with mules, alwuss keep
yure eye on their heels.
Sum mems humor IL like dried apples
Answer in our next.
Almost every boldly haz hobby of sum
kind to ride. There IL nothing so easy to
mount, and Outlines there IL nothing that
unmounts much easier.
Give me honesty fust, and after that, en-
nything yu pleaze.
Most NY the literary kriticks NV the day
are thoze who hav failed in writing them
sells, therefore they hak, and stab, and MUIR
der without mercy.
Fanaticks sedum undertake to prove their
beleaf they are satisfied to assert it.
Men ov genius don't depend upon their
memory; it IL eazier for them to kreate new
idea than to recall an old one.
There il much the same difference between
honor and honesty that there IL between no.
toriety and reputashun.
Honest poverty has this advantage. All
it owes, it owes to heaven.
All the vices are relations, none more re-
mote than first couzins.
To be great man it IL not necessary that
man should be unlike others, but that he
should always be like himself
Industry, without economy, is like bag
with hole at the bottom ov it.
God haz made but few things impossible,
certainly none that ought to be possible
The unthrifty are not only born so, but are
fated to die so.
beleave there IL such a thing as dishon-
est diffidence, also such thing as an honest
impudence
The man whe acts from impulse generally
acts right
observe that those who know the most
beleave the most; it don't take but few
brains to doubt and differ.

Hadn't Got the Hang Of the School

A Democrat who heard something awful
good in the City Hall yesterday morning,
started for Woodward avenue with his hat

he swung his tile and called out:
"We've met emp

"And won glorious victory"

"How-why? Amt she glorious?"

Where and How to Apply Fertilizers.

1t is often difficult to decide-for barn
yard or stable manure, or for any artificial
fertilzer-whether to put it in the hill or
broadcast it and whether to apply it on the
surface, or bury it deeply. Here is hint or
two. If not strong enough to injure the first
tender roots, a little manure near at hand
gives the plant good send off, like nourish-
ing food to the young calf or other animal !;
the aftergrowth is much better if the young
animal or plant is not dwarfed by imperfect
and insufficient diet. Therefore, drilling in
nocuous hand fertilizers in with the seed is
useful as is putting some well-rotted manure
or leached ashes into hills of corn, potatoes,
indeed with all planted seeds. But there
are good reasons for distributing most of the
manures or fertilizers all through the soil, and
as deeply as the plant roots can possibly
penetrate The growth and vigor ofall plants
or crops depend chiefly upon good supply
of strong roots that stretch out far, and thus
gather food over the widest extent of SOIL If
a flouriShing stalk Of corn, grain, or grass, be
| carefully washed, so as to leave all its roots
or rootlets attached, there will be found a
| wonderful mass of hundreds and even thous-
| ands of roots to any plant, and they extend
off u long distance, frequently several feet
| the farther the better, to collect more food
| and moisture. Put some manure or fertilizer
Il in place two feet away from corn or potato
| hill, or from almost any plant, and large
mass of roots will go out in that direction
| So if we mix manures or fertilizers well
| through the whole soil, they attract these food
seeking roots to greater distance, and they
thus come in contact with more Of the food
already in the soil, and hnd more moisture
in dry weather. A deeply stirred soil, will
manure at the bottom, develops water-pump
ing roots below the reach of any ordinary
drouth, and the crops keep right on growing
all the more rapidly on account of the
helpful suns rays that would scorch plan
not reaching a deep moisture.

THE CLOSING YEAR.

Faster than petals fall on windy days
From ruined roses,
Hope after hope falls nuttering, and decays,
Ere the year closes.
For little hopes, that open but to die,
And little pleasures,
Divide the long, sad year, that labors by,
Into short measures.
Yea let them go our day-lived hopes arc not
The life we cherish;
Love lives, till dsappointments are forgot
And sorrows perish.
On withered boughs where still the old leaf clngs
New leaves come never:
And in the heart, where hope hangs faded
springs
No new cndeavOr.

Christmas Holidays in Olden Times

In former times the Christmas festivities
lasted until Twelfth Day. One day more
ST. Distaf's-was allowed before resuming
the daily toll.
Partly work and partly play,
Ye must on st. Distaf's day
At Candlemas the garlands were taken down
in the churches and dwellings although they
are now often left hanging until Lent. But,
as each year goes by, some quaint, familiar
custom drops away, and is lost to sight:
feast, many an innocent sport, and many q
wilder revel, which once ushered in the
merry Christmas has passed into oblivion
But never we may venture to say, will Christ
mas itself, the birthday of Christ, cease to be
remembered and joyfully celebrated. And as
time rolls ON, who can help wishing in his
heart that each succeeding Christmas may
be still merrier than the lastP

Col. c. G. Rogers, a graduate of

mathematicians in the country and
he endowed his son with a natural
taste and talent that have taken
him, even young as he is, further in

magnitudes and sections than his
tsther himself. We are glad to see
Lieutenant Rogers in such fine

sibility of effort" which philoso
piers delight to expatiate upon.
