1t seems an impossible circumstance that
a stalwart young giant standing over six
feet in his stockings, his own master, able
to do what he liked and go where he chose,
should be in abject thraldom to plain lit

compelling him to marry her daughter.
"And feel as if I should be made to do it,

into his last corner by the congratulations
of all Lady James friends, to say nothing
of those horrid paragraphs in those horrid
papers, some of which had gone SO far as
to mention an early date being fixed 'sfor
the marriage of a lovely debmaate of this
season and young Earl recently Of age,
whose ancestors came over with the Con-

envy the shopmen, the cab-drivers, the
crossing-sweepers-to envy any one not
singled out by Lady Jane Magnus to be

For the Democratic Advocate.
Farmers, Clean Your Wheat.

MEssRs. EDITORS In perusing the col
umns of your valuable paper | have been
particularly interested in the descriptions of
the various business interests OF our county
A year or two ago the farmers of the county
received good share of these weekly notices,
which were read with interest and profit by
great majority of your subscribers. For some
time past we have been treated each week
with description of some public business
interest Of your city, and among the rest the
mills and warehouses, their facilities for
handling grain, &C. received their share of
notice. Now, the proprietors of these estab-
lshments are known to be men of business
capacity and fair dealing, and have every
reason to believe that they are interested in
the advancement of agriculture in this county;
but there is difference existing between the
farmer and grain dealer that can only be adj
iusted by proper understanding of the cause,
and the remedy will by necessity follow. The
millers and grain dealers are loud in their
complaints of the filthy wheat the farmers
bring to them for sale, and to see it as it comes
from their wagons it is no wonder that they
complain. The question that naturally pre-
sents itself to their minds is, why don't the
farmers clean their wheat hetter2 Now let
US propcqnd this question 10 the farmer, and
see whether he has not been figuring a little
on It. Mr.. Farmer, you have a fine farm and
seem to take pride in your business, having
everything about your premises neat and in
order; why is it that you are so careless about
your wheat crop? There is rye and cheat
and cookie and all manner of filth in it,
Well, sir, do take q pride in farming, and
the time Eas when was just rs careful about
cleaning my wheat as anything else ahont my
farm, but when ! learned that my neighhor
could get just as much for sixty pounds of
wheat with all manner of filth in 1t as could
for sixty pounds of clean wheat, he received
the premium and | quit cleaning my wheat
The only remedy aud the right one in this
ease, is that if the dealers will pay the top
price for good, clean wheat, and the very
lowest price for filthy, bad wheat, they viii
get an article they can handle proftably in
very short time. OBSERVER,

A standard rose, said to have been plant
ed by Charlemagne, is one of the great Gu
riosities of the ancient city of Hildesheim,
in Hanover. This rose bush is gnarled
and rugged, as becomes its extreme age,
and in some places the principal stem is as
thick as mans body. 1t grows at the
eastern side of the apse of the cathedral,
and this year the venerable and venerated
object has put forth several new and thrifty
shoots. Fears have been entertained for a
long time past that, after its life of thou
sand years, the plant was losing its vitality.
But now it is taking new lease Of life,
and there is joy Hildesheim. The garden
er in charge is strictly forbidden to give
away cutting, and its flowers, the very
sweetest of their kind, are jealousy guard
ed from vandal hands.
