The coin crop is ahead of the grass and
is doing reasonably we'll. But oh tIe
oat crop is almost a failure. / had a
patch Of oats that was sown early on
fresh land, and was as fine as 1 ever saw;
but when the weather went wet they fell
down and tangled 80 they can't be era
died. My main crop of oats got stinted
by the dry weather so badly that they
can't be Graded. If oats are harvested
this year it will have to be done with
moving blnde or sheep shears, and shall
have no use for my old cradle unless I
can lend 1t to some kind neighbOr who
will break it up for me.
see that correspondents have much to
say about young ladies and their accom-
plishments and beauty. But was so old
and ungallant as to have nothing to say
to them il my last letter about their beau
ty and accomplishments or their visits to
many places and in all directions. will
now say to all visiting young ladies
whether beautiful, accomplished, loved OF
beloved or in love, wise or otherwise, in
the language of my old friend, Gen.
Brad bury, don't stay too long in one
place nor tell all you know; but make
your business as short as common polite
ness will permit and make a polite ex-
cuse' that you have business at home.
The landlady will of course accompany
you to the gate and express much sorrow
that you can't stay longer. Sorry as she
may be, if you will notice you will see no
sign of tears in her eyes. No, she is in a
jolly, laughing, kissing good humor, and
when she gets back into the house 1 i'm
agine the first thing she says is al am

they have been hindrance to everything
on the place since they have been here. ="
Now. run along home girls and make
yourselves useful; help your mother and
the house keeper to put the house in OIL

these days. then show your independence
| by putting on an old ten cent calico dress
rolling up your sleeves and pitching into
the wash tub and dol ng your own wash
ing. If any young gentleman happens to
come along and catch you washing, don't
be alarmed, for pledge you my eighty
years experience that it will give you no
backset in the estimation CT any sensi-
bic young man, who has been properly
trained himself. True some dudish chap

And now to visiting young gentlemen
