Man, in his best estate, is but a
bundle of incongruities, y heterogeneous
commingling of good and evil, joys and
rheumatism, sorrows and phosphorus,
with bunions on his toes, tartar on his
teeth and dandruff on his coat collar.
Mans chief delight is found in eat
ing what is not good for him, and
drinking what he knows will make him
sick, and then seeking, with agony on
his countenance and two dollars in his
hand, for a remedy that will undo
the wrong he has accomplished and set
him on his taps again.
Man begins his earthly career with
out a tooth in his head. This is wise,
for his occupation during the first year
of his existence needs no such appur-
tenances. They would not only be of
no use to him, but q great source of
pain and annoyance to those in charge
of the toothless mortal.-DamriHe

The Month Of August.

This is the great month for sowing
Iurnip and Ruta Baga seeds, and too
much attention cannot be bestowed up-
on the Importance of this crop. It is
invaluable. supplying nutritious food
for both mar and beast, during the Fall
and Winter months, with little or no
care, after one preparing the ground
and sowing the seed. But an impor-
tant feature is to secure pure seed,
as the market has been flooded the
past two Or three years with a very
inferior quality of Turnip seed, pro-
duced without the expensive process
of transplanting and selecting the
roots. Seed grown in this manner pro-
duces knotty and degenerated bulbs,
having a disagreeable, strong flavor.
10 guard against any such disoppoint-
ment, purchase your seed at Thibo-
deaux Pharmacy, just received from
BUST, who is the largest and most
successful Turnip-seed grower in this
country (who grows every grain of
seed from transplanted and selected
roots on his farms near P~hiladelphia).
and you will grow roots of unsurpass-
ed quality.
