Wit f THE OEI> MAli>< BTORY. Two maids were wa Ikiffg in the grove (They both were growingold,) The one to tell a tale of love, The other to be told. h “He is not rich,” the elder said, ’ ’ e“Nor handsome, nor high-born; The man whom I propose to wed Most other girls would scorn.” "What is he then? You make mo fear.” (The maiden’s tears fell fast.) “He was the first to offer, dear, And he may be the last!”

“ t, Sim &t. ___________ 2 -Why did Job always sleep cold ? Because he had such miserable comforters. -Why is a loafer in a printing office like a shade tree ? Because we are glad when he leaves. -He who brings ridicule to bear against truth, finds in bis hands a blade without a hilt—more likely to cut himself than anybody else. -To catch mice—on going to bed put crumbs of cheese into your mouth and lie with it open, and when a mouse’s whiskers tickle your throat —bite. 1 -What is the difference between a railway train and a suspending bank? In one case the brake causes the stoppage, in the other the stoppage causes the break. -The latest Hibernianism we have heard is the question of a hired girl the other day : "How long does it take to get a photograph after you lave yer misnre ?” -A Radical paper says the niggers in the Alabama convention were in excellent spirits, and closed their services by singing “We’re goin’ to Heben a reelin’ and a rockin’.” i -"Nasby” remarks in a private note; "There is a good deal of oratory in me; but I don't do as well as I can in any one place, out of respect to the memory of Patrick Henry.” -A lady was urged by her friends to marry a widower, n>id guuient they spoke of his two beautiful children. “Children/’ replied the lady, “are like toothpicks. A person wants her own. -Jealous Wise —"What did that young lady observe that passed us just now, William?” Unfeeling' Husband —"Why, my love,she observed rather a good looking man walking with an elderly female.”

Frank was taught thatev-■ ery one was madepf dust. Oneday lie was watching the dust in the j street, ns the wind was whirling it < in eddies. “What are you think-; ingof?" asked his mother. “Oh,” i said Frank, with a serious face, “I thought the dust looked as though ’ there was going to be another lit tie boy.” -A tavern keeper in one of the | small towns of Wisconsin employed an honest old German bhtek smith to do a certain job, for which he paid the cash at once. Afterward,, a neighbor got a similar job clone on credit, Tur a less price.— Upon being asked the reason, the blacksmith replied : “You zee, I have zo much tduirge on my book, aud I zometinies lose eni; ami so, ven I have good cash.customer, I shargegood price: but ven I puts it on my book, I do not like to sharge zo much ; zo, if I never gets ein, I no lose zo much.”

-A man newly married, being a bout to leave home, said to his wife; ‘Now Julia, you . may do anything yon please except ride Jowler the house dog.” “Ride Jowler, what do you mean ? ‘Never mind, only I warn yon not to ri<le Jowler.’ When the husband i came home Julia had a black eye! and an arm in a sling. “Why, Julia, what’s th? matter?’ “Weil, you told me not to rule Jowler, and I thought it must be some thing very nice or you woulden’t have told me not to *<lo it, so 1 got on his back and he threw me down stairs.’

Valuable Suggestions. New milch cows should be carded daily. They like it, and it pays. The potato is a great absorber of Therefore wood ashes are a good manure for it. Put a few live fish into wells, if angle worms infest them. If the roots of trees are dipped into water just before planting, the earth that sticks to them will give immediate support to the small fibres. John Johnson says that farmers must give special attention to sheep and cattle keeping, if they want to make growing most profitable. Calcined plaster is as good a fertilizer as the uncalcined, but it ia usually wasted after its use in the arts. " . Some one says if salt kept before a horse in the stable he will not gnaw his manger. Trial will tell. Root crops not grain are the things for yoilng orchards. They du not steal so much tree food. Toads are capital helpers to take care of vine patches. Lay boards between the rows to shel- i ter them in the day time, and they will make a carnival of the bugs at night. Experiments seem toprove that fence posts set up the reverse way from which they grow, will last much longer.. It is difficult to tell colic from botfs in a horse, but a tablespoonfull of chloroform, in twice as much mucilage, is a good remedy for cither. Rich milk is not the best for calves. A butter cow is not a good stock cow. Look out for morals as well as muscle in hiring farm hands. They may ruin the boys by their vicious examples. Carrots are recommended for horses to aid digestion, and toma toes for cows to imporve and increase the milk. Feed stock regularly, and cut and cook food as much as is possi-' ble. Few farmers ilo it. Mangers should be low, and stables well ventilated and well lighted. Many horses arc made blind bv b.dng kept in the dark. Insects do not infest very late sown peas as they do early ones. Stewed pumpkin as a poultice has been found of great value in reducing inflamatory rheumatism. Pork and beans are the most nutritious food for the money that can be found. Three cents worth will given hearty meal. Smoke from rags, dry wood or (jormcobs is better than from tobacco in pacifying bees to remove honey, etc. Nine tenths of the diseases which happep to the Jioafs and ankles of horses are occasioned by standing on the dry plank floors of the stable. Keep no more stock than yon can feed and care for in the best manner, and make choice of the best stock.

Hint* to Poultry Breeders. Be sure the fowls have vegeta ble and shells, and the shells half burnt are Better than raw. One hundred fowls will consume . a ■ peck a week. ! Feed meat, if possible, it being, ! very natural. Choose perfect eggs > ; for brooding purposes. Let your hands be free from i grease while handling eggs to be set. An egg besmeared with broken yelk will not h itch. • Put a newspaper in the bottom i of the nest designated for setting 1 eggs, chaff or fine straw on top. i Brahma chickens need bat little' care, Dorkins more; Bolton or, Creole most. I Smear the sides and breast of the I old mother with oil, composed of half whale and half petroleum ; do this the first night after leaving the nc.-t. This is a prevention for ■ all the ills that chickens are heir ■ lv ' . ' Give clean water and small sized i grain (excepting rye.) Feed your grain or vegtable hdt. © A farmer in Vermont, who has planted Norway oats, reports that they grow larger than the cotnon kind ; they are much heavier, yield-; i ing at the rate of two hundred ' bushels to one of seed ; they arc fully as early as the ordinary variety, and they are preferable, because i they are ten or twelve pounds , heavier to the bushel.

Peter of the great market gardeners in New Jersey, states that horse radish is considered one of the surest and easiest crops to grow. It is planted in the spring and dug in the fall; sent to market in barrels, and sold by weight ' The sales are from 8500 to 8800 per acre. A correspondent of the Northwestern Farmer says sheep should have a greater variety of food than other domestic animals, and says that Linmeus found sheep refbsed only 1-41 species of plants out of 517 offered them. He thinks the first thing in the morning should be good soft hay.
