©fee f oet’is Corner. Dickens’ Cradle Song of the Poor. Hush, I cannot bear to see thee Stretch thy tiny hands in vain; I have got no bread to give thee— Nothing, child, to ease thy pain. When God sent you first to bless me, Proud and thankful too, vraa I; Now, my darling, I thy mother, Almost long to see the die. Sleep, my darling— thou art weary; God is good, but life is dreary, I have seen thy beauty fading, And thy strength sink day by day— Soon I know will want and fever Waste thy little life away. Famine m ikes thy mother reckless, Hope and joy are gone from me; I could suffer all, my baby. Sleep, my darling—thou art weary; God is good, but life is dreary. I am wasted, dear, with hunger, And my brain is sore oppressed, I have scarcely strength to press thee, Wan and feeble to my breast. Patience, baby, God will help us, Death will come to thee and me; He will take us to his Heaven, Where no want or pain can be. Sleep, my darling—thou art weary; God is good, but life is dreary. Wit, Wtedm, Nature benevolently guards the rose with thorns, and woman with pins. Why is President Johnson like Chimborazo ? Because he is the greatest of all the Andies. The woman who rushed to a soldier’s “arms” has been sent to prison for having Government property in her possession. An Irishman, applying for relief, being told to work for his living, replied, “If I had all the work in the world I couldn't do it” If you cannot have what you like it is best, in a finite world, to like what you have, says a wise and witty divine in the July number of the Atlantic Monthly. A Kentucky dentist extracted eighty-four grinders from the jaws of twenty-seven patients on a recent court day. That is what Mrs. Partington might call a distracting story. Schell, the artist, is likewise a punster. When with some of his brethren out sketching, one of the club proposes to remain and sketch another landscape. “Oh, no,” says Schell, “let’s ketch the cars.” “Susan,” said an Irishman to his fellow-servant, what are the bells ringing for ?” “In honor of the Princess's birth day,” was the reply. “Be easy, jewel,” rejoined Pat, “none of your tricks upon traveller’s; ’twas the Prince of Wales’s on the 9th, and how can it be his sister's twelve days after, unless, indade, they are twins ?” “Say, Bill, what have you done with that sorrill mare of yourn ?” “Sold her,” said William with a smile of satisfaction. “Wad’t you get?” “Bund’d and fifty dollars, cash down.” “How! Bund’d and fifty dollars for that old kickin’, spaven, critter ? Who’d you sell her to ?” “Sold her to mother.”

A young gentleman or an elderly one, we disremember which, after haring paid his addresses to a lady for some time, “popped the question.” The lady, in a frightened manner said, “You scare me, sir.” The gentleman did not wish to frighten the lady, and consequently remained quiet for some time, when ■he exclaimed, “scare me again.” We did not learn how affairs turned out, but should think that it was pretty near his turn to be scared. A New Hampshire bachelor, after several unsuccessful attempts to enter the Benedictine ranks finally persuaded an old maid to mar ry him, the consideration being a fifteen dollar watch. The ceremony over, he urged an immediate return home. “Home!” exclaimed the bride, who had been married in her father's house, “home! this is my father’s home, and you had better go to your’n. I agreed to marry you for the watch, but I wouldn’t live with you for th© town clock.— Exchange.

gtgrinilturaL Training ths Tomato.—lt does not pay to let tire tomato vines trail on the ground. The fruit decays and does not ripen. Brush, cut fine aud placed under the plants before they lop over, is a clean, cheap and excellent support The vines may be tied to a single stake, if pains are taken to pinch off the side branches and lead up a central shoot This is a French method, and is said to be successful. Trellises of various forms will suggest themselves to every tomato grower. A pile of stone laid around the plant would be excellent for it would keep the fruit and also radiate a good deal of heat to the plant The tomato is a native of torrid climes and requiees heat The stone-pile would admit of the plant taking a natural growth. Grass, straw, or beards will answer—at any rate put something under the vines to preserve the fruit. A small shrub, having many limbs, may be struck into the ground by the side of a plant, and it will afford a good support— Farmer's Home Journal. Liming Hay.—Some persons have met with success in the use of air-slacked lime on new hay.— They say that whereas clover, or any grass, loses much of its nutritive properties by being cured overmuch, or left exposed to dew and rain; it may be housed with perfect safety, applying about a peck of air-slacked lime to the ton of hay, sprinkling each layer as it is being put into the mow. The hay will come out bright and green, and all stock will eat it greedily, and thrive upon it, and there is no bad result from the lime to the health of the animals. The hay is also much freer from dust.— Such is the experience of numerous farmers who have tried it; and it would be well for those who have not, to make the experiment now. Any method by which the curing and preserving of hay is simplified cannot but be advantageous. Salt is used by many; but the objection to salt is, that it creates moisture; while on the other hand lime absorbs it. Fruit trees, says a writer, should be allowed to shoot their branches near the ground, protecting the trunk and the soil from changes of temperature and loss of moisture. He has seen the experiment tried, and it has been found that apple trees, especially, bear better when the top branches are cut away, and the limbs permitted to grow lower down on the trunk. The consumption of live stock in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia is now upwards of three million head per annum. This supply of live stock is mainly drawn from the Western States.— The great supply of live stock must always be from the region of broad prairie, cheap forage and cheap grain.

If you want a safe horse, avoid one that is dishfaced. If you want one that will never give out, don’t t>uy an over-grown one. A black lorse cannot stand heat, nor a white one cold. If you want a gentle horse, get one with more or less white about the head. So says a correspondent of the Country Gentleman. In England there are many farmers who more than support themselves and large families on the product of six acres, besides paying heavy rents. Agriculturists in Germany, who are proprietors of five acres, support themselves on two, and layup money on the product of the remainder. Cucumber and melon vines, as well as tomato plants, will mature earlier and better fruit by stopping the ends of the vines or shoots about one joint beyond the blossom or young fruit. The laterals or side branches should be stopped in, just the same as the lead- - ■ers’— —-—■■ —--■■ ■■-.- New Southern Flour.—The first consignment of this season’s flour, made from Georgia wheat, was received, in New York, by the steamer Herman Livingston, week before last. The flour is of superior quality, and manufactured in ■ Augusta, Georgia.

The Paelflc Wheat Product. There were sent from San Francisco, of last year’s product to the different parts of the world, not less than 7,500,000 bushels of wheat—and no better grain is produced by any soil in the world— This season, so far, is propitious. The most intelligent estimate is that the July harvest will frilly reach 22,000,000 bushels, not including some 2,000,000 bushels, of Oregon wheat California wheat, it is to be understood, is, owing to the peculiarity of the climate, the best in the world, and is produced at relatively less expense than elsewhere. The soil is very prolific, and thirty to forty bushels per acre is not a large yield. It is the climate, however, which facilites the work of the farmer. The rains set in the latter part of October and continue till April, from which time to the first of July the grain gets no water. It results that the grain ripening in the midst of drouth becomes very hard and free from moisture. It is then cut and left in the field without danger of any rain until October. It is gradually harvesttime and sent in sacks. Owing to its dry nature it never heats, never requires re-handling, nor does it reduire to be sheltered, thus saving a great expense to the farmer. The way to Select Flour. First, look to the color. If it is white, with a yellowish or strawcolored tint, buy it If it is white with a bluish cast, or with white, specks in it, refuse it Second, examine its adhesiveness : wet and knead a little of it between your fingers; if it works soft and sticky it is poor. Third, throw a little lump of dry flour against a smooth surface; if it falls like powder it is bad. Fourth, squeeze some of the flour in your hand; if it retains the shape given by the pressure, that, too is a good sign. Flour that will stand all these tests it is safe to buy. These modes are given by old flour dealers, and they pertain to a matter that concerns everybody —the staff of life.

Horses Over- reaching—Rem edy.—A correspondent says: “Make the shoe its natural length or a trifle longer, with the toe calk of the forward shoe high and the heel calk low. The hoof will then stand farther forward, and more removed from the stride of the hind foot, which, being shod with a low toe calk and high heel calk, will strike the ground before it reaches the fore foot. An interfering horse usually strikes with the inside of the hoof, about two inches from the toe; therefore, make the shoe straighter on the inside and rasp the hoof' accordingly.” Good family advice: Let all troublesome topics be avoided at meals. Do not dwell upon the difficulties of business, the delinquencies, of domestics, or discipline the children at the dinner table, for a cheerful spirit not j only gives relish for food, but a good, start at digesting the same. Potato Bugs.—One of our correspondents writes that if farmers will plant their potatoes near the house or barn, where the hens and young chickens can have free access to them, they will keep the bugs off. He says he has tried this plan for two years—last year and this—and has not been troubled with “varmints.” To FATTEn geese, the Irish Farmers Gazette says, put up three or four into a darkened room, and give each bird one pound of oats daily, thrown on a pan of water.— In fourteen days they will be found almost too fat. Never shut up less than two together, as they pine if left alone. Exercise your Horses.—Farmers should not neglect to give their horses proper exercise. Do not suffer the horses to stand the whole week in the stable, but give at least twice a week, and throw a lump of rock salt in the manger. A writer in the New England Farmer says that when tomatoes are growing near an apple tree the borers will not trouble the tree.— He plants tomatoes by the trees to prevent them.
