Hope’s kindly light should banish night And point us to God’s morrow: Before we yield on lifts' s rough field To fickle fortune’s sway lot us bo gay, tho’ from griefs 'cup We quaff from day to day. —The last “rows” of Summer—the final Regatta of the season. -“Which way do yon travel from ?’ Asked a wag of a crook-ed-back gentleman. “I came •traight from Wheeling, “was the reply, “Did you ?” said the other; then you must have been shockingly warped by the railroad." -Jonathan presented himself and his intended to the minister for the purpose of being married. Being questioned if they had been published. “Oh, I guess so, for I bold it to Uncle Ben, and he told his wife more’n • week ago.” -Under the head “Positvely the last of the long skirts of the season,” Punch gives the following: “Hostess—“Oh, how tiresome! Somebody must be standing on my dress 1 Would you just run down stairs, and see who it is, Mr. Brown ?' -A four year old urchin at South Hadley Falls, greeted a cousin who had come from New York to observe the country through the medium of a pair of eye-glasses, with the remark, “Cousin Will, your spectacles haven't got any shafts to them.”

-During the war, a lady passing from cot to cot through the wards of a hospital, was shocked to hear one fellow laugh at her. She stopped to reprove the wretdied patient iJ’Why, madam, says he, “you have given me a tract on the sin of dancing, when I have got both legs shot off.” -A gentleman who entered a barber’s shop to get shaved, was recommended by the operator to raise a moustache. “Is it possible,” replied the gentleman. “Oh, no,” insisted the tonsorial artist “Oh, no! lam certain, sir, you could raise a moustache—a light Summer moustache I” SitiwG THE Sum at Midmigrt. —ln July, 1865, Hon. J. 11. Campbell, United States Minister to Norway, with a party of American gentlemen, went far enough north to see the sun at midnight. It was in 69 degrees north latitude, and they ascended a cliff 1,000 feet high above the Arctic sea. The •cene is thus described: “It was late, but still sunlight The Arctic ocean stretched away in silent vastness at our feet; the sound of its wsves scarcely reached our airy lookout; away in the north the huge old sun swung low along the horizon like a slow beat of the pendulum in the tall clock in our grandfather's parlor corner. We •11 stood silent looking at our watches. When both hands came together at 12, midnight, the frill round orb hung triumphantly above the wave—a bridge of gold running due north spangled the waters between ns and him. There he shone in silent majesty which knew no setting. We involuntarily took off our hats—no word was said. Combine, if you can, the most brilliant sunset and sunrise you ever saw, and its beauties will pale before the gorgeous coloring which now lit up the ocean, heaven and mountain. In half an hour the sun had swung up perceptibly on its beat, the colors changed to those of morning, a fresh breeze rippled over the florid sea, one songster after another piped up in the grove behind us—we bad slid into another day.”

Cows should always be milked regularly and clean. Strawberry beds should now receive attention; be cleaned of all weeds and thinned out Keep a good lookout among the bee-hives, and be sure that there is honey enough stored for winter feed. As they ripen, save seed of all choice kinds of vegetables, being careful to select from the earliest and best kinds for the purpose. Monthly roses now begin to show their beauty; and, if in a good soil and location, they will not fail to afford flowers until frost comes. In order to have the largest and best specimens of all kinds of fruit, it is necessary to thin it out, to some extent, where the crop is ample. The smallest and poorest fruits should be removed. Surface tillage alone will not produce the best results in growth, especially in a dry season; and, whether damp or dry, that implement which will best pulverise the soil is what the farmer and gardener most need. The farmers of Long Island are suffering this season from the potato rot The losses from disase last year are renewed this season on a much larger scale. In some places fields embracing many acres are wholly blasted. The Mercer variety appears to be the most affected.

Jellies are always acceptable, and a great ornament to the table. Quinces, crab apples and fall pippins, make the very best Currant jelly should be made when thejlraf ripens. After straining the juice, boil gently half an hour before adding the sugar, after which it needs little more. Cool a small quantity in a dish before taking up, to see if it thickens. To grow the walnut, gather the nuts in the fall, soon after they drop. Dig off threo or four inches of earth on well-drained ground, spread the nuts one or two inches deep in the bed thus prepared and cover with two or three inches of earth, sawdust, or anything that will preserve the natural moisture. Plant two or three inches deep, ns soon as the ground is in good order, in spring, where the trees are to stand permanently, as they do not bear transplanting, like most trees.

The benefit derived from frequent stirring of the surface soil in dry weather, especially if it be of a compact nature, is derived from the admission of air containing moisture. Many cultivators think that all that is required of them is to keep the weeds from growing among their plants, and they never stir the soil except for this purpose; but our best cultivators have learned that frequent mowing of the soil is very beneficial to all crops, especially in time of drouth, This is the time when weeds ripen, if left to themselves. A day’s work now, if properly directed, may save a half a dozen days’ work next season. Clear out the weeds from the corn and potato fields, therefore, cost what it will, and it will save expense in the end; of all slovenly practices, by far too common among us, that of letting the weeds overtop the potatos and ripen, and shed their seeds on the land, is the worst You may mark the good and the bad farmer by it as certainly as in any other way. After haying comes a period of comparative leisure on most farms. There is a time for a little draining, ditching, cutting bushes and other similar improvements. Many a awamp or wet meadow may now be taken in hand and brought into cultivation, and a lot of material for the compost heap, or cow-yard, thrown out, and be put in of preparation for use. No thrifty farmer will neglect to provide the proper material for adding to the fertillity of his land. •If muck is perfectly dried, it will hold about nine-tenths of its own weight of liquid manure. —Coal Tar is denounced by some who have tried it, as of no value for roofing, nor as an application to board fences and posts when exposed to the air.
