 man was angry with his wife, as was often the case, either because she talked too much or contradicted him, or for some other reason; in short, he was out of humor with her, and resolved not to speak single word to her for long, long time. He kept his resolution for a few days very strictly. One evening he is lying in bed and wishes to sleep, he draws his nightcap over his ears, and his wife may say what she will, he hears nothing of it. The wife then takes a candle, and carries it into every hole and corner; she removes stools, and chairs, and tables, and looks carefully behind them. The husband sets up in bed, and gazes inquiringly at her movements; he thinks that the din must have an end at last. But he is mistaken. His wife keeps on looking and searching. The husband loses patience, and cries:
 What are you looking for?''
 "For your tongue" |" she answers, land now that 1 have found it, tell me why you are angry"
 Hereupon they became good friends again.

FARMERS BOYS.

There is wholesome change going on in public sentiment, which promises to do much for the improvement of the country, and the condition of the people. We mean the change which is taking place among the young in relation to the great work of tilling the soil. A few years ago, and the young men left their fathers farms as soon as they could get away from them-and the farmers them selves not unfrequently encouraged them in it. A hard hand and sun burnt face were deemed poor recommendations in life; and more genteel modes of getting living were sought by the young. But they are beginning to look at the matter in different light. The dull times through which we have passed have opened their eyes to the fact, that after all there is nothing like farmer to stand through all times, as they are quite content to stay at home. The re- suit will be, that our farms will be, to a very great extent, better cultivated, and produce more-that large farms, which are not half cultivated, will be divided, and well husbanded, and that we shall have large and virtuous population scattered all over our fertile hills.

Ireland's Sacred Oak.

In years gone by Ireland had q
sacred oak dedicated to St Columbian,
one of the peculiarities of the tree
being that whoever carried a small bit
of the wood or bark in his mouth
would never meet with violent
death, it being especially efficacious in
saving Christian martyrs from the
block. 1t was known throughout the
British Isles as the Holy Oak of Ken
mare. After the lapse of many cen
turtles this sacred oak was uprooted
by storm, after which it was said to
be guarded by angels to keep herctics
from gathering the wood for fuel At
last wicked tanner ''barked' one of
its largest limbs and tanned some
leather, which he made into shoes for
himself, imagining that such relics
would bring him wealth and power.
He wore them but once, however, but
taat one time was enough to make him
an incurable leper,-N. Y. Times.
