She gtotfs Corner. fT— — ■ ■ ■ ■■■ ■ . — ■■--- ... One More Insane One. One more insane one Ruined for life, The reason a plain one, — He's taken a wife. Loving him tenderly, This widow so fair Trim and so slenderly, Took him in snare. Where was his father? Where was his mother? Whore was his sister? Where was his brother? Or was there no sharper one Still than another? For the bleak winds of March. lie cares not a st aver, But his wife’s “frowning arch” Makes him tremble and shiver. .Once he looked boldly, No matter how coldly, Life's currents ran; The girls he could wink at them. Smile at and think of them, Like a gay single man; Ilis miseries now shrink at them— Be wise! Wise when you can. Wit, Wbtlom, R'T— ■ - - ■ . ■ ■ ■■ ■ ■ — ■ -To learn the value of money, try to borrow. -“Pride goeth before a fall,” and many a waterfall. -Some fisherman use cotton for bait; so do some women. -Why is life the greatest riddle ? Because all must give it up. -These are loving times, when everything is as dear as can be. -How sweet to recline in the lapse of ages—say about eighteen. —Woe to him that smiles not over a cradle, and weeps not over a tomb. -Where do people begin on the practical alphabet of lo .e ? At the ba-be. -What is the largest room in tlie world ? The room for improvement. -In prosperity, prepare for a change. In adversity, hope for one. -When you see a small waist, remember the great waste of health it costs. -When is a blow from a lady welcome? Wheu she strikes you agreeably.

-Waste of wealth may be retrieved ; waste of’ health rarely! waste of time never. -Be charitable to personal deformity, for the diamond is-fbund in an unsightly stone. -Why is a selfish friend like the letter P ? Because, though first in pity, he is the last in help. -It is hard to live without a wife —no gentle heart to get up cold mornings and build the fire. -A young woman's fancy is like the moon, which changes continually, but always has a man in it. -Men of the noblest disposition think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them. -If sulphur baths are as salutary as their advocates claim, some sinners will have excellent health i) the next world. -Let not every pain send thee to the doctor, every, quarrel to the lawyer,, nor every thirst to the dram-shop. —A man set his son to studying law, because he said he was such a tricky little rascal, and he wanted to humor his chief talent. -Too many men no more carry their religion into their business than they would wear a life-pre-server in the parlor. —Mankind has been learning for six thousand years, and yet how few have learned that their fellowbeings are as good as themselves. -A physician told a lady that if women were admitted to paradise, their tongues would make a hell of it. “And if some doctors practised there,” she said, “they would soon make a desert of it.”

-A good story is told of Campmeeting John Allen. At a social gathering of ministers of different denominations, a Baptist brother made a display of objection to the Methodist polity, because, as he said, there was “too much machinery to it.” “Yes,” responded Brother Allen, “there is a good deal of machinery, but it don't take so much wrfterto run it as theßapJist docs.”

“How Doth the Little.”— Within the almost boundless sphere of natural history, perhaps there is no one subject more interesting and instructive than that within such a small body as that of the bee there should be contained apparatus for converting the “virtuous sweets” which it collects into one kind of nourishment for itself, another for the common brood, another for the royal, glue for its carpentry, wax for its cells poison for its enemies, honey for its master; with in its several parts telescopic in its mode of action; with a string so infinitely sharp that, were it magnified by the same glass which makes a needle’s point seem a quarter of an inch, it would yet itself be invisible, and this, too, a hollow tube; that these varied operations and contrivances should be enclosed within half an inch in length and two grains of matter, while in the same small room the large heart of at least thirty distinct insects is contained is surely amazing in an extraordinary degree.—American Bee Journal. ■— I O - — 111 Wheat Flour—This matter of making flour of the whole, wheat is well understood and approved by every school physicians, and through their recommendation to their patients, and the teachings of health journals, its use is becoming somewhat common, and wheat flour, as it is called, is a staple article in the markets. Strong as the prejudice may be at first against the brown, plebian-looking loaf, it will vanish, in most cases at the first taste, if the bread is well made from well ground wheat of a good quality—the sweet, fragrant, nutty flavor commending itself to every taste not wholly vitiated. With wheat flour the complaints of heavy, sour and insiped bread would vanish forever, as it is so light, owing to the feathery particles of the hull which prevade it, that no yeast or alkali is necessary to raise it, but it is, when mixed with pure cold water alone absolutely self-rising to a greater extent than fine flour can be rendered by yeast. — American Farmer.

Corn and Hogs.—The N. Y. Independent says, from carefully conducted experiments by different persons, it has been ascertained that one bushel of corn will make a little over 10| pounds of pork—gross. Taking the result as a basis, the following deductions are made which all our farmers would do well to lay by for a convenient reference—that: When corn sells for 12| cents per bushel, pork costs Ij cents per pound. -v When corn costs 17 cents per bushel, pork costs 2 cents per pound. When corn costs 25 cents per bushel, pork costs 3 cents per pound. When corn costs 36 cents per bushel, pork costs 4 cents per pound. When corn costs 50 cents per bushel, pork costs 5 cents per pound.

The Best Butter.—lt has been proved that cows make the richest butter when they first go out to pasture in the spring; that they produce the hardest butter when fed on dry food; that butter made during the fall is best for keeping. The town of Rennes, in Brittany, is noted for its peculiar butter; the milk of the previous evening is mixed with the warm morning’s milk, and the mixture allowed to stand for two or three hours, when the whole is churned. Those who practise this plan claim that they thereby obtain a large amount of butter of a more delicate flavor. Ohio was, by the census of 1866 the third State iu the Union, having a population of 3,339,501 or 7,43 per cent of the whole. The State now gives more attention to the production of wool, having the largest number of sheep of any State, viz : 6,568,053, out of 32, 695,797 in the United States. The live stock in the State was valued, in 1866, at $151,000,000, which exceeds that of any State except New York, being $170,552,506.
