SUt $ Cmer. Mew England Monulaclurersto their Western Subjects. Ho! all ye Western Savings, Who live on corn and pork, Come up and buy our Yankee goods And keep our mills at work. Cone up—we’ve got the tariff fixed— You c.in't buy any cheaper. The “moral party'rules thejland, And Were its conscience-keeper. The pesky South, that always kicked Against our just protection, We've got her safe—there's not a vote Fro it all ilia! hated sections. And while they're out it gives us all A most convenient season To line our nesis—and so we say They've lost their votes by Treason. Yo ir Western corn, and pork and rye Are first-rate things to t:>x,on. And so we lay the duties high Y’our b ?oad andburly backs on: Youlike it too—your Western men In Congress—House and Senate; Stand ready by to tax As fast as we can pen it. We tax your coats, we tax your hats, We tax your bread and butter, We tax your boots yout socks you.- shirts, And don’t you dare to mutter: And while wo bind you round and round With strong and tvippje ties The ,‘tax on wool'" we deft’y pull Across your sleepy eyes. Wit, &£ -A young lady who gives herself away, loses her self-posses-sion.

-Meat it is !—An Irishman who has heard it stated that all flesh is grass, wishes to know whether hay is beef «-Ze-»nowed. -There is a story told of an Indian, who, having seen a gentleman with wig and spectacles, exclaimed in amazement, '-Him two scalp, four eyes, by golly !" —The 3fetk.odist says: “Supposing all the trails worn this summer at the fashionable watering I places were cut off even with the , ankles, how many poor children ; would they clothe? How much would women rise in the estimation of men?” An innocent exchange remarks: “Suppose your aunt was your uncle, what then ?” -The Pella says : “a Chicago “Runner” recently left a shirt at one of the Oskaloosa Hotels, and wrote to the chambermaid to forward it tp him at this place, upon which she wrote to him the following reply; ‘I hope dear sir, you'll not feel hurt, I’ll frankly tell you all about it; I've made a shift with your old shirt and you must make a shift without it. - ’ -Judge a man by his actions, a poet by his eye, an idler by his linger. a lawyer by his leer, a player by his strut, a boxer by his sinews, on Irishman by his swager, an Englishman by his rotundity, a Scotchman b\ his shrug,, a justice by his frown, a great man by his modesty, an editor by his coat, a tailor by his agility, a fiiddler by his elbow, and a woman by her neatness. -Somebody says that the bes\ way to get rid of weeds is to always put your c gar-case and its contents at the service of vour friends, Jones says that the most effective means he ever tried was by squeezing the hand of a plump young bereaved in black*. The next day she was in half mourning and a second kindly pressure resulted in a pink bonnet. Farmers, please notice. -“Old Fritz,” who raised pigs and cabbage in jSnpa county, California, appeared before Judge II as a witness, says an exchange : Question.— “ What is your name?” Answer.—“V ell, I calls myself Fred, but may-be so—l don’t know —it is Yawcup. You see, Shudge mine modder she have two leetle boys; one ofem vas me and one lasiny brother, —or one vas my brother and t’other vas me I don’t know vich; and I vas shust so old as my brodder vas young, or my brodder vas shust so old as me, I don t know vich, and mine modder she don’t; and one of us vas named I* red and t’oder Yawcup, or one named Y'awcup and t’oder Fred, I don’t know vich, and one of us got died, —but mine modder she never could tell whedderit was me or mine brodder vat got died; so Shudge, I does not know whedder I is Fred or Yawcup,—and mine modder she don’t know.

gpicuhuraL Underdraining Land.—Experiments in undenlrainmg land were made in Scotland last year for the puipose of determining the effect on the temperature of the soil, compared with that in the same vicinity which was not drained. The result was that the draining raised the temperature 1.5 degrees, equal to a removal of the land from one hundred to one hundred and fifty miles south. This is an important consideration connected with the compact, heavy soils, whose retentiveness of water renders them cold and comparatively inert with respect to vegetation. Draining land involves considerable expense, but its increased productiveness soon repays this, besides increased profits for the future.— Ex. The Pollution of Streams. — At the Salmon Fishery Congress, recently held at Kensington, England, the secretary of the river Dee Fishery Board testified that since the establishment of a petroleum refinery on the banks of that river, every fish in the entirelenghth of the stream, from salmon of 20 pounds downward, has been kilied by a poisonous refuse matter which floats out from the refinery. The water supply for the town of Chester had been drawn from this river, but a skillful analyst has examined the fluid and declares that no filtration can purify water polluted by a poison so subtle and powerful as this.

Pickling Beans. —Pick them before they have any strings, soak in weak salt water for twenty-four hours; prepare vinegar with spices as for other pickles, pour it hot on the beaus, and then after three or four days pour it off and re-scald it. A little alum hardens them, but is not desirable, nor is the poisonous verdigris from the brass kettle that gives such a beautiful green to the pickles cooked in that metal. It is much better to have pickles of any kind wholesome, rather than make them attractive to the eye by injurious additions. Red Cedar. —A correspondent of the Country (.leutlcman asserts that red cedar twigs bound around the bodies of fruit trees, butts upward, will effectually protect the trees from insects. And if fruit trees, why not shade trees ? Col. Bewey. of Hartford, writes to the Horticulturist that in his vineyard, grapes trained upon red cedar posts and trellises are free from mildew and insects, and those growing closest to the posts have the most healthful appearance and are the most productive. Points of a Good Milker.— In selecting a milker, look well to the udder. Before milking it should be wide and broad, not hanging down like a sack; and hai-d and shiny, nearly destitute of hair, and what there is should be fine, short and bright. After milking, the udder should be soft, and apparently a skin bag. If, after milking, the udder is hard and full, it shows that it is flesh, not milk, that distends it” Tomato Wink. —Take small ripe tomatoes, pick off the stems, put them in a basket or tub, wash clean, then smash well and strain through a linen rag; a bushel will make five gallons pure, then add two and a half to three pounds of good brown sugar to each gallon. then put it into a cask and let it torment as for raspberry wine. If two gallons of water be added to each bushel of tomatoes the wine will be as good.

Hen Manure— Look well after your hen manure. A good plan is to put boards about two feet below the roosting poles, v upon which they deposit all the manure. Then, once or twice a week, have it well scraped and put in barrels. You will then have, in the course ofayear ,the very best manure you could possibly use for your corn and other crops. Ihe best bank ever konwn is a bank of earth; it never refused to discount to honest labor. And the best share is the ploughshare: on which dividends are always liberal.
