&he Corner. tHetocsg widow. Bhe is cunning—somslimes witty, Free and easy, but not bold; Like an apple, ripe and mellow, Not too young, and not tjo old; Ralf-inviting, half-repellent, Now advancing, and now ihy: There is mischeif in her laughter, There ii danger in her eye. She has studied human nature; She is schooled in every art, She has taken her diploma, As the mistress of the heart! She can tell the very moment When to sigh and, when to smile Ob, a toaid is sometimes charming, But a widow all the while! Are you sad? oh, then how serious Will her pretty face become! You are angry; she is wretched, Saddened, friendless, tearful, dumbAre yon mirthful? how her laughter, Silver-sounding, will ring out! She can lure, and catch, and play you, Al an angler doos a trout! Ah! ''old fossils,'’ nearly fifty, Who are plotting, deep, and wise; Ye “Adonises,” of twenty, With the love-light in her eyes! You may practice all the lessons Taught by Cupid since the fall But I know a little widow Who can win and fool you all! Wit, -“That’s a pretty go,” said the husband when his beautiful wife ran away from him. -•‘What is the difference twixt a watch and a fedder bed, Sam ?” “Dunno—gin it up.” “Because de ticken of de watch is on the inside, and the ticken of the bed is on de outside.” -Jones and Brown met at the post-office. Jones complains of a bad smell about the office, and asks Brown what it can be. Brown doesn't know, unless it may be the large number of dead letters. -An Irish girl, who plumed hereelf upon being employed in a “genteel family,” was asked a definition of the term. “Where they have two or three kinds of wine, and the gentleman swear,” was the highly satisfactory reply. -A countryman going to market with a load of pork, was met by a young girl who very genteely made him a low courtesy, when he exclaimed: “What! do you make a courtesey to dead hogs?” “No, sir,” answered the girl, “to a live one.” Said Master —— to us the other day: “What is tbs difference between a tall colored man, and one who is still taller ?” We confessed our inability to solve the puzzle. “Why,” said the laughing lad, “one is a big nigger, and the other is a nig bigger.” -An excellent turn was made at dinner-table by Judge Hoar, of Massachusetts, too good to be lost. A gentleman remarked , who used to be given to sharp practice, was getting more circumspect.— “Yes,” replied Hoar, “he has reached the superlative of life—he began bj* seeking to get on, then he sought to get honor, and now he is trying to get honest.” -There is a place near Boston usually regarded as in a rather decaying condition. A gentleman spending the summer there recently said to a visitor: “I don’t know what people mean by calling II a slow town. I hire this house of a man who has gone west on a wedding tour. He is eighty seven years old, and his bride is the second wife he has had since he was eighty.”

-In a school, recently, a teacher took occasion to relate an anecdote of the little girl who tried to “overcome evil with good” by giving a New Testament to a boy who had ill-treated her. The story was appreciated, for, a few minutes afterward, one boy struck another, and, on being asked the reason, said he was “trying to get a Testament.” This was a practical bearing altogether unexpected. -Dr. Dwight once riding on horseback was overtaken by another horseman, alone, who ad dressed him with, “Good morning, Mr. Priest.” The Doctor replied, “Good morning, Mr. Democrat.” He then said, “How did you know I was a priest:” “By your dress; how did you know I was a Democrat?” “By your ad dress.” The Rev. Doctor and Judge S. soon be came pleasant companion!.

Who Are Rcbelal The radical journals think it is a very smart thing to speak of the forty or fifty thousand Democrats and conservatives who have just voted against Radicalism in Kentucky as the the “rebel” majority, but they may rest assured the day is gone by when that silly display of partisan malice will deceive anybody. The truth is, there are no rebels is this country now except the radicals. Jeff. Davis never was a worse rebel at heart than, for example, the members of the Rump Congress who voted the other day to exclude Kentucky members of Congress from their seats. The rebels in arms, fought to dissolve the Union, but they did their work open and aboveboard—not in the sneaking hypocritical way affected by the radical rebels, who with eulogies of the Union eternally upon their lips, arc exerting all their energies to keep that Union divided. Then there is the Tribune's pet, Parson Brownlow—what bigger or meaner rebel than he ever lived ? Devoting years and years of his ill-spent life, before the war, to the execration of the “Yankees,” and the “Yankee abolitionists,” when the conflict which he helped to provoke commenced, he changed his coat, came over into the rebel camp, and, like all apostates, he soon became a more furious opponent of his former (secession) friends than the Yankees themselves. Living and trading for a while on Northern sympathy, he has now managed to juggle himself for the second time into the Governorship of the State of Tennesnessee, by a series of frauds and subterfuges, and acts of petty despotism which the worst rebel that ever breathed might seek to emulate in vain. No such man as Brownlow, and no such party as that which is supporting Brownlow, can be the friends of free Government. They are a disgrace to the very name of republicanism.— At heart, we repeat it, they are rebels and very mean rebels at that. —A”. Y. Express.

Hospitality Anions Uons. “I have been assured 1 ” says Chenier in his “Present State of Morocco,” that a Brebe who went out to hunt the lion, having proceeded far into the forest, happened to meet with two lion’s whelps that came to caress him. The hunter stopped with the little animals, and, waiting for the coming of the sire or the dam, took out his breakfast and gave them a part. The lioness arrived unperceived by the huntsman, so that he had not time or perhaps wanted the courage, to take to his gun. After having for some time looked at the man who was thus feasting her young, the lioness went away, and soon after returned, bearing a sheep, which she came and laid at the huntsman's feet. The Brebe, thus become one of the family, took this ocasion of making a good meal, skinned the sheep, made a fire and roasted a part, giving the entrails to the young. The lion came also; and, as if respecting the rights of hospitality, showed no tokens of ferocity. Their guest the next day having finished his provisions, returned, and cam* to the resolution never more to kill those animals the noble generosity of which he had so fully proved, lie carassed the whelps at taking leave of them, and sire accompanied him till he was safely out of the forest. Pxtrolium as Fuel.—Some interesting experiments are now in progress at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for the purpose of testing the relative value of petroleum and coal as fuel. The apparatus in use is exceedingly simple, and apparently effective. No retort is used. The crude oil is projected from a series of small nozzles, resembling gas burners, ranged in the front part of the fire-box, each nozzle being surrounded by the open end of a steam-pipe, leading from the boiler, so that each stream of oil is projected into the middle of an annular jet of steam, which breaks it into a fine spray, and mingles the two vapors thoroughly. The result is a very clear, strong, and intensely hot flame, the volume and intensity of which is entirely un- ; der control by simply regulating j the supply of oil.

The Increasing’ Tse of Mutton. In our boyhood mutton was an unpopular meat, and avoided by the city and country as much as the meat of the most offensive animal. To-day, in all the large cities of the country and among the people east of the Mississippi, the best of mutton and lamb commands the highest price of any meat All nations as they advance in civilization abandon the grosser and semi-barbarous kinds of food, and substitute for it the luxuries of the garden and nutritious mutton for the grosser pork, which is far more expensive to produce. The consumption of mutton by a people has been said to be an index of their civilization and refinement. There are some curious facts illustrative of the immensely increased demand for mutton. Within our recollection tens of thousands of sheep have been slaughtered for their hides and tallow, and their meat pressed for swine feed. To-day take the year round, butchers complain that it takes more time to obtain a meager supply of mutton and lamb than all other meats. At Brighton, on the day before Christmas, 1839, two men held all the sheep (only 400 in all at Brighton), yet this monopoly did not raise the sluggish market one-half cent per pound. In 1859 there was in this market, the day before Christmas, 5400 sheep all sold, while the average weekly supply in 1866 was over 800, and on some market days over 16,000, and not much heard yet of cheap mutton. Another fact is worthy of notice, that while common fine wooled sheep sold for from 81-50 to $4.50, the large long wooled sheep sold for sll. This fact points the direction which our farmers should take in sheep husbandry in order to meet the wants and realize the greatest profits of to-day. The fleeces and the lambs of the long Leicester wooled sheep are larger than those of the fine wooled sheep, their mutton better, and all command higher prices. These sheep, first quality, sold in 1866 for $lO to 816. — The Homestead. A Couple of Hint*. Those who arc fond of green corn during the winter do not all know that it may be preserved by packing it in casks or barrels and covering it with brine strong enough to keep cucumbers. The com should be taken with the husks on. Cora thus predared, if kept covered with brine, will keep in good order for a year or more, and will be sufficiently fresh for the tablewhen boiled. If you are troubled with rats, put some tar in the entrance of their dwellings, so that they cannot get in or out without coming in contact with it and my word for it they will not trouble you long I have found that stumps covered with subsoil will decay much sooner than those left exposed. — Germantown Telegraph. The most important work for August is the preparation of the ground for fall seeding. Summer fallows are to be worked, and stubble grounds plowed; the latter should be turned over as soon as possible after being cleared of grain . Time is wanted for weeds to start defore the final working preceding the sowing, and it is better to let the soil receive the good effects of the air, sun and rain, and become light and pulverized before the seed is deposited in it. At least the stubble should be well harrowed or gang-blowed early, to start the weeds. — - o —I It has been frequently asserted that properly underdrained subsoiled lands never suffer from drouth. Who cannot name many farmers who lose their crops from drouth, at least once in ten years, and still have never experimented to know whether they can underdrain and subsoil their land, for one-tenth the value of their erops, or whether such subsoiling and underdraining will save them from drouth entirely ? And those who donbtthis fact, should they not make the experiment, or visit the farms of those who have, to knqw of its truth?
