Things u Farmer should Not Do.

A farmer should not break up more
land than he can cultivate thoroughly !;
half-tilled land is always growing poor.
er, while well titled land is constantly
improving. A thrifty and prudent far
mer will not devote his sole attention to
the improvement of certain fields on his
farm. because the land is "easy to work
at, and let other portions Of his premi-
ses go uncultivated, and grow nothing
but brush, bogs, briers and stones.
A farmer should never have more cat
tie, hcrses or other animal stock than he
can keep in good order. An animal in
good order at the beginning of winter is
already half wintered.
Nor should he allow his cattle
endure the chilling storms of winter in
an open yard or field, while a few dol
lars expended in the way of making
comfortable stables would amply repay
him in say ng fodder, and afford q great
er amount Of milk.
A farmer should never depend too
much on his neighbors for what he can
by careful management produce on his
own land. He should not make it. a
common practice to either buy or beg
fruit while he can plant trees and culti-
yate them on his own ground-nor an
noy his neighbors by borrowing tools to
work while he can make or buy them.
'rhe borrower is servant to the lender
A farmer should never be so INNER
sed in political matters as to neglect do
ing his various kinds of work in due
season, and to snug up matters and
things for winter nor should he be so
inattentive to politics as to remainigno-
rant Of those great questions Of national
and State policy which vii! always agi-
tate more or less free people.

it was 90 cents for fixing the weights

scale, and 30 cents for moving the adj
juster.
A member Of tn" firm said yesterday
that while Trey wanted their scales and
weights to be correct in every partic'l-
lar, and were willing to pay whatever
was right for having them adjusted,
they considered the so cents eXacted for
moving the adjuster an nncalled for

the rain OF the previous night, the ad-
juster had tC be moved, as the scale was
about 10 pounds heavy, and yesterday
afternoon after the large wooden plat
form, which Is exposed to the weather,
had become dried by the sun, the
regulator had to be moved again.

years has been one of the weightmasters
of this city, when the following con-

CHINESE MAGIC.

Agentleman who has lived among
the Chinese tells, as an illustration
of their abilities as magicians, an
incident that took place under his
own eye, and in his own room,
where apparently there was no
chance for deception.
The magician was naked from
the waist upward, and his only
magical instrument seemed to be
strip Of white cloth twisted aboue
his loins. Taking a dish of IN.
cooked rice the juggler covered il
with his mysterious girdle, squat
ted before it and began his incan.
tations. During this process his
bare arms were passing to and fro
beneath the cloth, and this was all
the gentleman saw him do. At
last the linen was removed, and 10 !
there were six plates filed with
cooked edibles of various kinds,
while a dish of boiled rice had re-
placed the one containing raw
rice.
Another gentleman, describing
how he was deluded, says:
GA iuggler in the open street
seized a boy five or six years of age,
dragged him struggling into the
circle, threw him on his back, and
in spite of the boys agonized cries
and the remonstrances of the peo
pie, apparently nearly decapitated
him. The victim gradually be
came motionless, while the blood
streamed from the wound. Finally
the magician removed the Knife,
muttered few words, called aloud
to the child, who soon showed
signs of life, and at last raised him
to his feet, when the boy appeared
unharmed. Both actors in this
strange scene were literally re,
warded by the crowd, and the boy
ran of. to play with his wondering
companions

a color to the room. He was a quiet,

that would make the wan face light
up with JOY at his return. He never
said to living soul that ne loved
that boy so much. Still he went
on patiently loving him. And by
and-bye he moved that whole shop
into positively real, but unconscious,
fellowship with him. The workmen
made curious little jars and cups
upon wheels, and painted diminu-
tive pictures down their sides be-

of the kiln at burning time. One
brought some fruit in the bulge of
his apron, and another engravings
in rude scrap-book. Not one of
them whispered a word, for this
solemn thing was not to be talked
about. They put them in the old

Miss Carrie Ives looked pleas

of fchagrin as he pushed toward her a
big volume of some abstruse work
and turned the fy-leaf.
Thereon had been sketched an
inimitable portrait of himself, sit

attitude in his leathern chair before
his library table-an inelegant
study gown hanging ungracefully
from his large shoulders-and the
hand that supported a Websterian
head clutching an untidy shock of
hair. 1t was too consummate re-
