fwJ's Csrntr. SPKIVGAXDSLM.nER. Spring is growing u’p r Is not it a pity? lA’*” She wasf such a little, thing, And so very pretty! Summer is extremely grand, We must pay her duty. (But it is to little Spring ■That she owes her beauty.) All the buds are blown, Trees are dark and shady. (It was Sring who dressed them, tho’, Such a little lady!) And the birds sing loud and sweet Their enchanting hist’ries. (It was Spriag who taught them, tho', Such a 'singing mistress!) From the glowing sky Summer shines above us; Sring was such a little dear, But will Summer love us? She is very beautiful With her grow-up bliss, Summei - we must bow before; Spring we coax'd with kisses! Spring is;growing up, Leaving us so lonely, In the place of little Spring We have Summer only! Summer, with her lofty airs, And her stately paces, In the place of little Spring. And her childish graces!

Small talk—the prattle of children. -Steam—water in a high perspiration. -There are two tilings which you should not borrow—trouble and a newspaper. -Why is a prudent roan like a pin? Because his head prevents him from going too far. -Men of the noblest dispositions think themselves happiest when others share their happiness with them. -No matter how much liquors may advance in price, it is an unfortunate fact that they are always going down. -What is the difference between a mother and a barber? The latter has razors to shave, and the former, has shavers to raise. -Fowl culture is receiving at tention in New Jersey. “I’ve got a henery,” lately said a great lady to her Cousin. “Dear me,” said the cousin, 1 thought his name was Charles !” -At a colored party, Sambo aske I Dinah if lie could help her to some ofthe ISreast. “Now ain't you shamed Sambo, to say breast before these ladies? 11l take a piece ob de turkey bosom.” -A Miss Joy wa A present ata party recently, and in the course of the evening some one used the quotation, “A tiling of beauty is a joy forever.’’ when she exclaimed. “I'm glad I'm not a beauty, for 1 should not like to a Joy for ever.” -“Will you show ine some cher-ry-colored silks ?” “Yes, ma’am,” answers facetious clerk, taking down some sable silks, which he. laid before the lady. “But I asked for cherry-color.’’ “Yes, ma’am, an<l those arc cherry-color-black cherry.”

-Mr«. Partington rfa'llng an «e count of a railroad accident, was .! much surprised to learn that the engine had been driven off the track by one of the switches. “I 1 should not have thought,” said ; she, “that the great iron horse would mind such a thing ns a little switch.” "Yes, but yon must reremember mnmnla." said Ikegravely, "“the loeoinotive has a tender behind.” -In a certain family, not long since, a pair of twins intuit* their appearance, and, as a matter of course, were shown to their little sister of four years. Now. it so happened that, whenever a rather prolific cat of the household had kittens, one of them, of course the prettiest, was saved, and the rest drowned. \V hen the twins were shown the child by their happy father, little M .’looked at them long, and earnestly, and at length putting the little fingertip on fjje cheek of one of them, looked up and said, with all the seriousness possible, “Papa. I think we'll tace this one."

-A Yankee having told an Englishman that he shot on one particular oecaeion, 999 snipe, his interlocutor asked him why he didn’t make it a thousand at once. “No,” said he. “it's not likely I'm going to tell a lie for one snipe.” Where upon the Englishman, determined not to be outdone, began to tell a story of a man having swam from Liverpool to Boston. “Did you seediim yourself ?” asked the Yankee, suddenly; “did you see him yourself?” “Whr. ve<. of course 1 did; 1 was coming across, and our vessel passed him a mile out of Boston Harlmr.” “Well, Im glad ye saw him stranger, *coz yer a witness that I did it That wue!". _ - r

gam & gtrnMA Sheep Raising.—Lieut. Gov. Stanton, of Ohio, says in regard to sheep raising in England : One thing that struck me very forcibly was, that all farmers testified that sheep raising was absolutely indispensable to successful farmihg; that their manure was necessary to preserve the fertility of the soil: and that without them the whole kingdom would in a few years, be reduced to barrenness and sterility. It is in this view that I regard sheep raising in this country as more important to the ultimate and permanent prosperity of the country, than on account of their profits. Whatever else nlayhappen, we cannot permit the virgin soil and these beautiful fields of ours to be reduced to barrenness by the time they pass into the hands of our children and grand children. Their fertility murt be preserved at all hazards, even at the expense of present profit.

Management of Poultry.—Solon Robinson, in his book, Facts for Farmers, says; “Ifyou don’t want hens in mischief, feed them ; and at times when it is really necessary shut them in a poultry yard and feed them; and adopt this simple rule for feeding fowls, known to most houswives in the country who have charge of poultry, but it may be useful to amateurs, and as it is very short we print it. Here it is :—Don't feed too much. That is all: though we may add that food should never be given to fowls unless they are hungry enough to ‘run crazy’ after it; and just as soon as they stop running crazy, you stop throwing feed, and never—no, never—leave feed lying by your fowls ‘for them to cat at leisure.' This same rule does pretty well for all other domestic animals—children included.” Limbing Fruit Trees. —F. K. Phoenix, Bloomington, 111., writes to the Horticulturist as follows: “A neighbor amateur has this year grown about a bushel of most delicious Inperial Gage plums on tree, passed to him some three years since by a brother, who sail, /No use forjiim to try to grow ( plums!’ After it was planted out; one year the family wood pile was f corded up under and about it. and , after the fruit had set. and so long! as any fears of enrculio were entertained, a plentiful supply of airslacked lime dust was scattered over the top every week, or twice a week. Last year it had a peck, and this year a bushel or so—and i here you have the whole story.” The writer says he is a profound believer in the. efficacy of a similar course of treatment, so far as 1 dusting with lime, Ac., not j I merely for curculio. but for the! whole herd of inserts, mil lew, and fungi generally.

Nests and Roosts for I’oVETitr. ! —Poultrymen will find it to their' advantage to use movable neats, placed on -bits or shelves. When a hen has done laying or setting, J remove the box. nest and allset' fire to the straw and hurft it out;; white-wash and return the nest to I its place, clean and free from ver- I rnir. It i< of advantage to have the roosts movab'. >. :t< you “can then take them dow i, white wash an around, and return to their place.— Cor. Uouwtrtl Gentleman. Give breeding cows a good -belter from the cold storms. Don’t; work the breed mares too severely. Care for the breeding ewes and the lambs. K -ep books—a complete record of costs and profits. Know just what will pay you and what will not. Keep n<-counts with every field you cultivate, and you will be gratified at the results at the end of the season. Brown Bread - Everybody likes good brown bread, ami I send, a sure recipe for making it good : One pint rye meal and one of corn meal, half cup of yeast, a small tea cup of molasses, one teaspoonful of salt; mix with warm water! and have it sq spfl it will pour out easily and settle readily to place. Steam five minutes.—Cor. Western Hural.

The Kansas legislature has enacted that an Osage Orange hedge, one year old and over, the plants set not more than one. foot abort, and some 'other conditions complied with, shall lie n lawful fence, and the owner can have a lieu on any animal doing damage to hedge or crop.

. Watery . Potatoes.—ln the spring, potatoes are apt to U-wa-tery. but if; when you boil them, you iuto the water a bit of lime as large as a w.dugf, it will render them mealy and white.— Brxfern Hural. Worms in flower pots may Im? destroyed by using common lime water, made by slacking lime in water. The solution must Im* weak ; an ordinary sized lump of lime will be sufficient for six gallons of water
