fytw, PRECEPT A-VD PHAOTICIL The world is rife with nobler thought, Than trembles on the tongue; The world is full of melody, ■.Unwritten and unsung. The music of a inarch is sweet, But action is sublime; And each may live a nobler verse Than e’er was told in rhyme. Sweep from my eight these foolish books, They vex my very brain, And I will sit at nature’s feet— Her open page the plain— And read a pleasan In every blade that grows; A lyric in the lilly’s leaf, An epic in the rose! Let tinkling of the tongue or pen To love-sick girls belong—* The musiesof a well spent life Is sweeter far than song, It likes me not this waste of words— Our world were not so bad, If maids and men would cease to write, And live their verse instead! Wit, WiMm, -Sense and judgment are mare desirable than beauty and loveliness. -Life., to the young, is a fairy tale just ended; to the old, it is a tale read through. f : - -Artemus Ward said that the , man who wrote “I am saddest when I sing” was a fool to sing much. -Value the friendship of him , who stands by you in the storiA: j swarms of insects will surround j you in the sunshine. ( -A little boy, seeing a man pros- i trate before the door of a £zro<reery, opened the door and said to 1 the proprietor, “See here, sir, yoiir < sign has fallen down.” ] -Pat is hard to beat at a repartee. Near the depot were several Irishmen. Thinking to quiz them, ' a gentleman shouted to one:— . “Has the railroad got in?” “One ind of it has, sur,” was the prompt reply. I -“Bridget,” said a mistress to < her Irish servant, “where's the , gridiron ?” • “An share, ma’am, ] I'se just afther givin’ it to my sis- ] ter’s own cousin, O’Flaherty; the ( thing’s so full o’ holes, it’s no - good at all.” , -George Selwyn once affirmed that no lady ever wrote a letter without a postscript. “My next letter shall refute you," said lady G. Selwyn soon after received a letter from her ladyship, •wherein, after her .signature, stood, “P. S. Who is rightnow; youorj?” -A lady had the very bad tajte to enter the Castle drawing-room in such ultra dress, or rather undress, that more bust than barege was visible. “Did you ever see anything so unblushing?” whispered a custodian of the Great Seal, whose sense of decorum was outraged by the exhibition. “Never since I was weaned,” replied Dr. Whafoley, -Adolphus (admired for his sentiment)—“Good night, belovedmay the drowsy God soon wrap that beauteous form in golden slumber—may delicious dreams hover o’er thy coach !’.’ Emily (his betrothed, somewhat matter offact) —“Good night. Be sure to I turn the gas off, put your boots ' out. and—don’t snore. Adolphus i never tried it “no more.” -Waggs went to the depot of one ' of our rail ways the other evening, and fin-.ling the best car full, jiaFd in a ioud tone: “This car isn’t going! Gt course, these words caused a general stampede, .ami j Waggs took the best seat. The cars soon rpoved off. In the midst of the imljgnation, Waggs was questioned: “You said this car wash t goingr ’ "Well, it wasn’t then : ft is now. - ’ -“Will you have a daily ?’’ eaid a newsboy to Mrs. Partington “Will 1 have a daily son?" “Whv, you little scapegrace ? How dare you insinuate against a lone worn- I an ? No. indeed—l guess I won’t i ha\e a daily son. 31 v dear pom i husband used to complain awfullv when I presented him with a year- ; ly son. A daily son. indeed! Be- ■ gone, you litt.e upstart imp!" I And the old lady called for the i turkey wing tan to keep from swooning. -Two darkies in the West went out to hunt possums, and by cident found a large cave with a very small entrance. Peepingin, they discovered three young bear whelps in the interior. “Look heah. Sam,” said one; “while I go in dah an gits de young bars, you jest watch heah for de old bar." Sam fell asleep in the sun. when, opening his eyes, he saw the old bear making her way into the eave. Quick as a winkle he caught her by the tail, and hold on like death. “Hello, dar. Sam. what dark de hole dar ’ asked the darker in the cave. “Lor, bless you. jumbo, eave yourself, honey! If dis j tail comes out. you’ll,find out what; dark de hole ” ’

. & gwiijirfjelii; •How to Plant Fruit Trees.— W. H. Fletcher, of Quincy, 111., writes- to the Western Farmer as fallows on this subject: * J “I herewith submit my mode of planting dwarf and standard fruit trees, as the time for planting out fruit trees is near at hand. I plow my ground deep where I Intend to I place my row of trees, then open with a spade a good-sized hole of sufficient depth for the tree. Set the tree, open out all the fine roots throw on the best top soil, press down with foot, then fill with sawdust three to four inches in depth, cover with top soil and press slightly. I then top dress with sawdust to the depth of four inches (if the sawdust is new it should not be placed tooTrear the tree,) or short straw or long manure from the stable. This is the mode I have adopted the past year on my prairie farm, with the following results : I planted 400 dwarf and standard pears, and some 250 apple trees, without any loss. I planted on the same ground 300 apple, and 250 peach trees the old way of planting taking the usual care, and I lost one-fourth of my trees by the drouth during August and September, while those planted as above made a growth of two to three feet. When to Sow Seeds. —In planting seeds for the vegetable garden, farmers often make a great mistake by sowing all kinds of seeds, hardy and tender, without regard to temperature or season. They sow their luttuce and plant Lima beans, cabbage and tomatoes, onions and cucumbers, ail the same day and expect them all to flourish alike. To hold them we name below the common vegetables of the garden, and the time of sowing or planting. Vegetable seeds that may be -sown in this latitude from the middle of March to tiie end of April: Beets, carrot, cabbage, celery, lettuce, onions. parsnip, peas, potatoes, cress, culiflower, endive, kale parsley, radish, turnip, spinach. Vegetable seeds that may be sown from the 10th of May to the middle of June : Bush beans, Lima beans, Cranberry pole, and Scarlet runner bqans. Sweet corn, cucumber, Muskmellon, Watermellon, Pumkin, Potatoes, Nasturtium, Squash, ‘Tomato, o Akra.—Western Farmer. Plowing.—An item of impor tance in plowing is to see before beginning if there is any defect in surface of the ground that can be modified or corrected. In the commonly adopted course of plowing round and round, we produce a rise on the outer edge and a depression in the centre, which in many cases lays the. foundation of a ruinous “wash,” and in pieces of line level land we see deep depressions created that hold the surface water, making a “mire” that drowns out the seed sown there. Starting in the centre and plowing “back furrows,” is an ample and simple remedy for this, which, from mere thoughtlessness is seldom done. In fin ishing otf the field, leave a strip on the sides equal to thy width of the “turn rows" or “head lands,” and plow round tiie. entire field, and it will have a clean, m at, finished ap I pearance.” In eases where this | course was impossible, we have i seen potatoes put in, or clover I seed sown, which often came in [ well for a “green bite" ia summer during the hard work. Work for bad Weather.—lt is well always to suit the work to the | weather. Few can endure to work j out in rain or snow, and if thought be given there can always be found plenty to do inside when it is uni pleasant or stormy out of doors —work also that will save many an hour when the hurry and of Spring comes; mending lights, making boxes, for melons, etc., ■ cleaning crocks, painting tools, and si thousand other thiugs, which If done will enable a man to drive his work, instead of the work I driving him.— Ilorticttltd-rist. Worth Knowing.—ls people in i planting orchards would give strict i orders to mark the north side of I trees with chalk before taken up. and when set out to have them put in the ground with the north ; side to.the north, in their natural I position, a large proportion would live and thrive. Ignoring this law of nature is one cause of so many transplanted trees dying. If . the north side is exposed to the south the heat of the spn is too great for that side of the tree to bear, aud therefore it drys np and decays. j To Wash Calicoes.—Put wheat bran in a bag. boil and take half the water to wash in, half to rinse : in ; use no soap. This will cleanse them without fading and Htiffbn i them without starch. Iron on the ™ng side and they will look as if just out of thy store Fill your cord oil lamps half full |T»f salt, and ace how much better ; light and saving of oil is thereby j obtained
