Twenty Years Ago, I met a girl the other day, Some twelve years old, or w, The image of a nymph I loved Some twenty years ago. The blushing cheek, the sparkling eye. The hair of raven flow— Ah, how they set my heart ablaze Some twenty years ago! I spoke—her answers did not much Os wit or wisdom show— But thus the lovely Mary talked Boms twenty years ago. What! could a shallow girl like this My heart in tumult throw? 1 must have been a little green Borne twenty years ago! I re met the lovely Mary since— Her charms have vanished though— Her wit and wisdom are—ihe same As twenty years ago! 1 look upon her faded cheek. Until my feelings glow; And thank her that she scorn'd my love Some twenty years ago! Fond boy! whonow would’st gladly die To please some simpering miss— God knows what thou wilt think of her Some twenty years from this. Wit, Wm, Josh Billings shrewdly remarks : A man runnin for ofis puts me in mind uv a dorg that’s lost—he smells of everybody he meets and wags bisself all over. “You saved my life at the battle of Waterloo,” said a beggar to a captain. “Saved your life! how?” “I served under you, and when you run away— l followed I" “Mother may I go and have my daguerreotype taken ?” “No, I guess its not worth while.” “Well then, you might let me go and have a tooth pulled, I never go anywhere. The show-window of a certain corset-maker exhibits a singular instance of illiterate diction. On a card appears the following sentence : “All kinds of ladies stays here.” ' Legal—Why is a lawyer the most ill-used man in our social system ? Because, though he may drive his own carriage, he must draw the conveyances of other people.

A lady, seeing her lover running 1 in great haste to meet her, observ- 1 cd to him that he must be in a verygreat hurry to run so fast. “Madam,” replied the lover, “I was following my inclination.” A miserly old farmer who had 1 lost .one of his best hands in the midst of hay-making, remarked to the sexton, as he was filling up the grave: “It's a sad thing to lose ' a good mower at a time like this ; ' but, after all, poor Tom was a ' great eater.” Arabian Courtship.—An Ara- ( hian having brought a blush to a maiden’s check by the earnestness of his gaze, said to her, “My looks ’ have planted roses in your cheeks; why forbid me to gather them ? 'rhe law permits him who sows to reap a harvest.” A young lady asked a gentleman the meaning of the word “surrogate,” and he explained it to her as “a gate through which parties go to get married.” “Then I imagine,” said the lady, “that it is a corruption of the word sorrow gate.” “You are right,” said he “as woman is an abbreviation of woe to man.” An Irish boy, trying hard to get a place, denied that he was Irish. “I don’t know what you mean by not being an Irishman,” said the gentleman who was about to hire him; “but this I do know—that you were born in Ireland.” “Och! your honor, if that’s all, small blame that. Suppose your old cat had kittens in the oven, would they be loaves of bread?” The boy got the place. Value of Fame.—A good story was told by Thackery, who while traveling, staid at an inn, and it soon became known to the rest of the company who he was, in consecuence he was frequently pointed oit by those who recognized him to those who did not. Upon one occasion he heard the waiter say t o a visitor ; “That’s the great Thackeray.” “Is it ?” said the visitor, “what ha s he done ?” -Blessed if I know.” said the wifitcr. • -

Wonderful Ruins in SlamGcneal Perrin, a Frenchman of the third class, commanding the land forces of the King in Siam writes to a French paper as follows : ‘For six day’s journey of an elephant, I have traversed the ruins of Ancor-Kiat, only penetrating them at intervals, where explorers had been before. What I had seen of monuments, temples, palaces, columns, staircaser and piles of marble, cannot be told. They would not believe me. The people of the country say that the ruins are spread over a circle of from ten ten to twelve leagues in diameter. What was the city that existed there, and of what empire was it the capitol ? I have seen temples in a good state of preservation. (except the vegetation that had sprung up in them)which measured not less than a league around. There are forests of marble columns ; everything is of marble. Although some may have disappeared beneath the soil, what remains is far above what we see at Versailles or elsewhere. In some places they are as solid as if built but yesterday. But for the undergrowth and the effect of lightning, these monuments, which the people say are from, four to five thousand years old might be to-day in complete preservation. I regret that I had no photographic apparatus, I assure you, and believe me or not, that the most celebrated monuments of ancient or modern Europe are as mere baracks compared with these, while our palaces and basilicas, the Vatican and Coliseum are little better than dog-kennels in comparison. I wished to ascend to a temple which appeared to be in a good state of preservation. There were eleven stair-cases, of I know not how many steps, which must be ascended to arrive at the first of the five perisyles. I commencd my upward journey at half past six in the morning; at half past seven I had scarcely entered the lower halls. Fearing that I might have to decend the steps in the heat of the day I was compelled to shorten my visit. The walls are in every 7 part sculptured and ornamented. The first effect which the sight of these monuments produced upon me was one of amazement. lam no amateur to go into ecstacies over small things. The next morning I climbed the winding staircase of an im. mensc tower, situated on an iminence. Arrived at the summit I enjoyed the sight of the ruins. There are, in localities where I haVcnot yet penetrated, palaces of a height and grandeur truly colossal. With a field glass I examined the details. Their architectural richness is unrivaled, and they extend into the territory of Cambodia, a distance of ten or twelve leagues.—Picture to yourself how Paris would appear in ruins. A few rough stones scattered over a diameter of two or three leagues at the utmost. Here they are on the ground, and below its surface, marble already hewn in sufficient quantities to build, even as the giants have built here all the citties of the universe. I have seen the leg of a statue, the great toe of which was eleven times the length of my hunting rifle. It is in marble like the rest, in fact, there is no other stone near except the pieces of colored marble used for borders, and for the eye of the statues. There arc pedestals of steps.; rest of their statues which are more lofty and larger than Saint GermainT Auxerrois. Think of octagonal pyramids cut off at the middle, and all in marble. Who has done these things ? If it was some illustrious dynasty, they can have but little satisfaction with the oblivion that bas enveloped their magnificent monuments. The people of the country 7 have no real conception of the builders, although their litera- ; ture extends back into the centu- " ries much farther than ours. Tn the course of a few years, every titled Frenchman will have an English or American wife, and ' as for the French diplomatic corps, they are already provided. with them. The French Ambask sadors to Rome and Lisbon have American wives, the Ambassadors to Berlin, Vienna and Denmark have English ’'■ires.

Making a Ball Use fill. A correspondent of the Country Gentleman gives an account of his training a bull to useful work He says: “I am the fortunate possessor of a copy of a book on dog-breaking, by Gen. Hutchinson—that Rarey of dog-training—which in practice has taught me such marvels respecting the education of animals, that I undertook to teach my bull with as much confidence as I would feel in training a Newfoundland dog to fetch a stick out of the water. I have one of Emery’s endless chain powers to drive my hay-cut-ter. My bull is an Alderney, two years old, weighing a little over 900 pounds. I put on the brake and had him led into the power, where he had as mall feed of oats given him. While he ate these he was groomed and caressed. This was repeated two or three days in succession. Then, while he was eating, the brake was slacked a little, and as the floor moved down, (slowly, so as not to alarm him,) he stepped up to keep his muzzle at the oats. At the fourth lesson he walked an hour, and cut hay enough to last my stock—some 18 head in all—two or three days. We have not the slightest trouble, and so much does he seem to like the exercise, and the pleasant remembrance of the reward of good behavior, that I shall not be surprised of, when he happens to find the door open, he should go in and “run the machine ” on his own account. I intend to put up a circular saw and let him cut my fire wood. Now for the advantages. The pampering and confinment which makes a horse run away, will in time make a bull devilish. The work I give him requires no harnessing; it is only an hour’s walk up a hill of 23 deg. elevation. It gives him an outlet for his superfluous spirits, it keeps him “in hand” and gentle, it wears away 7 the growth of his hoofs develops his muscle, and improves his health. Have I not a right to expect my herd to be benefited by such mangement ? It cut all my hay, stalks and straw for cattle and horses. It saves fully onethird.

Doves as a Farm Stock. In many portions of France it is said to be the practice of the landholders to make it a condition in their leases to tenants that they shall provide a pidgeon house, or dove cot, and keep it well stocked with these birds. The reason for the condition is that these birds do a great amount of good in eating up tire seeds of noxious plants, such as chess, cockle, and the like. They do not live on well grown grain when they can find that which is shriveled, as well as the seeds of weeds and grasses. They are busy workers among the offal of the barnyard, but do not, like the barnyard fowls, scratch up gardens, and play the mischief generally. It is a general remark among the French fanners, that in districts where the pidgeon is most abundant, there the wheat fields are cleanest and the crops the most prolific. The Country Gentleman says many otherwise good apple orchards are allowed to become defaced, as well as seriously injured, by permitting of suckers to grow at the base of the trunks. Attempts are sometimes made to get rid of them by cutting them off down by the surface of the ground, and leaving considerable portions below in the form of short stumps. These sprout again, and they soon become as bad as ever. A better way is to wait until they are in leaf, at which time they are loosened more readily, and taking each sprout separately in the hands, and placing a thick boot upon it near the tree, they are quickly separated. If done at this time of the years they will not be likely to sprout again. Do everything to make and save manure, and use it to the best advantage. Manure is the soul of successful fanning. It is exceedingly bad husbandry to harrow up the feelings of your • wife.
