TriK curliest society for the promotion of agriculture in the Unitcl States was established in Philadelphia in 1785. The Massachusetts society was the second institution of the kind, and was incorporated in 1792.
MAY is a busy month in the vegetable and flower garden. If you expect large and fragrant flowers, keep the soil frequently stirred: never let it get packed down and dried. If drought comes, the more you stir the land the better. Soil stirred after four o'clock p.m. will absorb the dew almost equal to the elFect of a small shower.
HEALTH and thrift oftener go together than most persons arc aware of. It is a blessed thing to feel that to-morrow is certainly and abundantly provided for, irrespective of the efforts and profits of to-day in other words, to be a little forehanded, to have a little spare money always on hand.

Tin POOH FARMER.—A writer who has no sort of respect tor shiftless farmers says: "The poor farmer, whose hens roost in trees during the storms of winter, complains that thev lav no eggs. His cows shiver by the side of the fence, and he complains that the children eat too much butter. He goes to the grocery with a stone in one end of the sack' and a jug in the other, and he wipes hisi nose with his coat sleeve. He thinks those far mors who take agricultural. papers, and who read works on farming, are
stuck-up
farmers. He is down,on-
all book learning. He never has a paper in the house that is of value/ Those that are found there belong to the trashy school: In the sprihg his sheep flock is seen in pelts hanging on the fence, ..Reader, have you anj farmers of this character in your vicinity If so, try and buy them out, and send them away, as they are a drawback and a disgrace to any neigh borhood."
Who arc ChriHtiRnuT From Beecher's Sermons.
Ah, friends! do you know that when persons wish to compare themselves with professors of religion, in order to excuse themselves, in order to find some justification for their own torpidity and their own indifference, they never pick very wisely They do not come into church and pick out the persons that are really Christians. They always pick out the scapegraces. If there is a man that ought not to be in the church, they know it as quick as a crow knows where carrion is, and they will take that man and hold him up, and say, ''That is your Christian, is it I do not need to become a Christian. I am as good as that man already." You will find that they will select, if not such ones as these, then, men that are in the midst of battle—for I consider a man that is doing business in New York to be just like a man that is in contest on the battle-field. In the whirl and din of a battle-lield, a man does not always step in the best piaces, nor with the most graceful postures and gestures. It is a strife for life to him. and no matter what he does in the hour of conflict. Wo do not look for the best aspects of a man in that moment when he is striviug for his own life. And so it is when men are
powerful temptations when they are being swung and whirled through the whirlpools that are sucking down so many. Here is a man that may be a very good man. but that is cornered by circumstances which are so strong that he is twisted this way and that, until, when he comes out. lie is disheveled and people stand back and look on him, and say, "Do you know that man He is a deacon They lie in wait I have known men that watched after professors of religion. 1 have a cat in the country, that, knowing that there is a rat in the drain, will lie crouched in the grass for six hours together, waiting for that rat to come out.

POTATOJ S.—Plant only in good soil if it be rich, fresh manure will cause the crop to rot more or less. If the soil be poor, a lack of manure will often produce the same effect by lack of vigor in the plants to resist disease. It is best to plant as soon as the soil is warm—cutting the seed into pieces of two or three eyes, and letting them dry a little before planting. Plant deep under light ridges, so that the field may be harrowed. The sets may be cut smaller later in the season.

Left, when her husband died, a widow, in extreme poverty, she determines, by the love she bore him, as well as by the love she bears them, that they shall grow up to intelligence and education and through toiling pain, as much as martyrs feel at the stake, by day and by night, willingly, in long months— oh! how long the year is to misery —she has given herself to these children. And now, one by one, as they have come upon the stage, in answer to her heroic efforts, they arc prospered. But the sands are running out. She has used herself up. And at that time when woman should be come matron, and. after all her suffering and shattering, should begin to b(fserene aud happy, her forces arc failing and in poverty she is dying.
