A Scotch Lad S Wit.

A Scotch lad was on one occasion ac-
cused of stealing some articles from q
doctors shop. The judge was much
struck with his respectable appearance,
and asked him why he was guilty Of
such contemplate act.
"Weel. We see, replied the prisoner.
II had bit pain in my side, and my
mther tauld me tae gang tae the doc

"Oh, yesr' said the Judge. But
surely she didn't tell you to 60 and take
an eight-day clock"
The prisoner was evidently nom
pusSed, but it was only for m"ment.
Turning to the Judge bright smile of
humor stealing over his countcnance,
he reioined quietly; There's an auld

Propagate from the Best.

1t is great error, and one far too
prevalent among our agricultural
brethren at the present day to select the
best and most valuable animals, seeds,
roots, etc, for the market, instead OF
retaining them to propagate from. In
this they disregard future advantages in
the pursuits of immediate profits, In
stead of reserving those animals which
arc decidedly superior in size and SYM
metrical development, to transmit the
eXccllences to coming times and through
successive generations, which practice,
if systematically adhered to, would in
sure a gradual but constantly progress
sive improvement, they are so easily
fascinated with the hopes of gain that
they willingly part with the very means
which alone can secure its acquisition,
and entail upon themselves evils from
which it is impossible for them to es.

LIVING IN PEACE.

How Uncle Jerry Managed to Get Along
With the NeighbOrs.
Down in the Maine woods half-a-
dozen miles away from any other hab-
itation, there is a cluster of three rather
fertile farms. A down-country man,
who for some reason wished to go to
farming, was negotiating for the pur-
chase OF one of these farms, which lie
all in a row; and nc asked the people
who were trying to sell to him what
SORT Of neigADors he would have next
door.
If I'm to live away out here" said
he, ''its important TO me to know what
sort Of folks I'm going to live among"
well, " said the other, ''yOu can ask
old Uncle Jerry Jones, who lives on the
third farm, over beyond them, how he
Gets along. He's man that never tells
any thing but the truth.
The intending purchaser went over
TO Uncle Jerry, and asked him how he
got along with his neXt-door neigh
Oors. "
"First-rate," said he.
Ever have any trouble with tTem?"
No any"
This was enough, and the down.
country man bought the farm.
He began to be friendly with his next
neighbofs, but found them very quar-
rclSome. Their boys got into trouble
with his; they complained about his
line-fence, and set their dog on his
hens Whenever he went near then
they began to abuse him.
Finally he went to Uncle Jerry ant

How Bob Burdette Succeeded in Getting

Along with Colored Servant.
II doesn't lie in some people to get
along with servants. They have no
tact, no knack of managing. There i;
a great deal in managing a servant in
such q way that the minion isn't aware
of it Butsome people don't know how
to do this, and consequently servant

household is utterly useless in my

American Missionary Union, asking

Congo out-s.ations between my barn

thing else, induced me to part with Al

THE BEKLEM MING.
Curious. Landed Interest Existing in a
Small Province of Holland.

Curious Landed Interest Existing in .
Small Province of Holland.
There is a small province in Holland
which has been called by travellers the
peasants paradise. Peasants are the
kings and masters of the country, but
they do not own the soil. They own
only the right to till the soil, and the
crops it produces. This peculiar hold
ing of the soil is known as the Bebien,-
ming and nothing Just ike it is known
outside the province of Groningen. A
very similar leaSehold was formerly
common in Lombardy, and still later in
Portugal. An scrount of this institu-
ton by NJ. Hazard will interest many
persons, at time when the relations
between land and labor are under dis.
cussiOn.
The BeElcmmieg constitutes to some
e>tent, a proprietorship over and above
the original freehold. 1t is the right Of
working the estate, and is Il valu that
can be inherited or bought, and in the
contract for which the original propri.
etor has no right to interfere, and fol-
which he can exact nothing beyond /
fixed and unvarying rental, as cons der.
alton for tire holding of his property
under certain conditions.
In order perfectly to understand the
working of such an institution, il is nee
essary to 90 back to its origin. At thai
time two men appeared upon the scene
the original proprietor and the cultiva
tor.
The soil is of no value" said tho
