World notices, among the multitude of -i tbiuga tbatare new to bis eye, tbe gath»ViW wing of agricultural populations into villages. lie hns "been accustomed in his own country to see them dlstribff uted upon the farms they cultivate. tf. '•I"' Tbe isolated farm-lifo,so universal here, oitber does not exist at all in the greator part of continental Europe, or It oxlets as a comparatively modern instltu--1 tion. The old populations, of callings and professions, clustered together lor 2 self-defense, and bnilt walls around themselves. Out from these walls, for miles around, went tbe tillers of tbe soli In the morning, and back into the gates they thronged at nigbt. Cottages were cluste reu around feudal castles, and grew into towns and so 15urope for many centuries was cultivated mainly by people who lived In villages tuid cities, many of which were walletl. and all of which posessed appointments ofdetense. The early settlers in our own country took the same means to & defend themselves from the treacherous Indian. The towns of lladley, Hatfield, Northfleld and Deerrteld, on the

Oonnetticut river, are notable cmtnpies of this klud or building and to this day tbev remain villaues of agrlculturlsts. 'That this Is tho way in which farmers ought to live wo have 4 no question, and wo wish to say a few ,1'y words about it. **'m? Thorelssome reason for tho gonoral disposition o| American men and women to shun agricultural pursuits which the observers and philosophers have been slow to find. We see young men pushing everywhere Into trade, win-* into mochaniual pursuits, into the learnod professions, Into slgnlticaul clerkships, into salaried positions of o\'ery sort that will tako them into towns and

support and hold them there, it impossible to drive poor people from tho cities with tho threat of starvation, or to coax them with tho promise of better pay and choapor fare. There they stay, and 11 irye, and sicken, and sink.

PUp UmpPECULA TI0N3. Apropolh-of Mr. Daniel Diew'a eontrict with Duncsn, ttberaiaoA &>. to deliver to them five tnilliona of dollars of Erie stock duriug tbe year 1872 at 55, we have this anecdote of that eminent speculator: ,*fct aU#* ha mefca Methodist clergyman ln Xew Jersey, and rather a fancy for him, asked him if he wouldn't like to make a little money. The minister replied that be never speculated nor gambled in stocks, not believing it to be right besides, he was only worth some tllteen thousand dollars, and could not afford to poril it. Mr. Drew, after some further chat, said be could suggest souti thing that would be Iperfectlylcg tin ate, and proposed, if tbe parson would act upon his suggestion, to guarantee him against loss, wblle tbe prospect for a handsome profit was quite promising. Tbe arrangement wua accor-i lgly made. Some weeka later the aivine came over to New York and callcd at Mr. Drews'soffice to ascertain the result.

Well," said Uncle Daniel, "the fact is. that thing I told you about has busted but I promised to guarantee you against loss, and I will keep my promise."

So, figuring up tbe amount invested, with simple interest, Mr. Drew handed over a check, and the pastor congratulated himselt upon the result. "But," said he—and where Uncle Daniel's joke comes in—"but, Mr. Drew, I told one of my elders what you had agreed to do with me, and he went aud bought a little stock."

Did be?" said Uncle Daniel.

Why, they must bavo lost considerable money—must bavo protty much cleaned 'em out. They oughtn't to've done It. buyin'stocks you don't know notbin' about is mighty risky business. You tell 'em that." "But Mr. Drew, they're nearly ruined." "Shou'du't woud'.r and I'm truly sorry."

The good parson returned to his flock, most or whom had already ascertained the true conr.ii ion of things. Somebody bad "unloaded" to thu country brethren. Piobably it was not Uncle Dan'l. —[Editor's Drawer in Harper's Magr.7.ine lor uue.

At the colony, every kind of bodily punlshmont is prohibited. Mechanical preventives are tbe utmost that are evor tried. Two boys, as an instnnco, played at marbles during work hours. At afternoon they came up to join tho laboring boys, but were refused. A dor.rn marbles wore given them and they were ordered to play during the rest of the day. They entreated for work, but It was denied. Their fondness for marbles was cured.

Agnio, two boys shammed sickness uniUiad Ibcli1 breakfasts brought from the kitchen against rules. It wr»s reported to tbe Director. They happened to be draughtsmen. Two cups and saucers were, therefore, brought from the dining-room, and they* wero requested to employ thomselves during Uie day In copying these objects. When night came, they handed In their work,saying, "We understand you, sir: it shall never happen again."

Three boys stole away to a neighboring farm, plucked some cherries, and broke a branch off the tree. No sooner was this reported, than soino ot the boys said to the three, "This is wrong to us It give* Met tray a b.\d name: eight di»vs will be required to make up our minds." These bovs were thereupon left alone. Nobotly talked, shook hands, or said Joocf morning" to them This proved unbearable. IJeroro the eight days had elapsed, they went to the Director, and said: "Sir, we are wrong we have done a great evil: p.irdon us. One of us has a little money: we will go to tbe farmer and pay the damage."—From "The Netherland Met tray," in Overland Monthly for June.

&TYLKS IN OLD TIMES. In 1872, says the Boston Traveller, Ooverner Hancock received his guests in a red vclv«t cap, within which was on* of fine linen turned up over the edge or tho velvet one two inches. He wore a blue damask gown, lined with silk, a white sal In einnroidered waistcoat, black satin small clothes, white silk stocking, and red moiooco slippers.

The Judgee of the Supreme rourt of Massachusetts^ as late as ln-t, wore robes of scarlet, faced with black velvof and in summer black silk gowns: gentleman wore coats of every variety At color, generally tbe uape and color of velvet of a different color from the cost. In 17SWHGeneral Washington arrived in New York from Mount vernon, to assume the duties of the Presidency. He was dreswd In a lull suit of kouieeptin. On his visit to Europe he wore tbe old Continental uulfonr., exception theSabfeub when he appeared in black.

John Adama, when Vic President, wore a sword, aud walked about the etreeis witb bis hat under bis arm. At bis levees In Philadelphia, President Washington was clad lit black velvet, bis hair powered and gathered behind in a silk bag yellow gloves, knee and shoe buckles he held In bis band a cooked hat ornamented with a cockade, fringed about an inch deep with black feathers, along swo.il in a white scabbard- with a polished steal hilt, hung at bU hip..

I was maintaining that nins persons out often beld

superstition, when

a gentleman Insisted npon It ttet he hadn't a single one. I laid in wait for him, and at last eaught him. He didn't like to count the carriages at a funeral!

"O, I don't know." A su

perstition, Mr. Blsnk. Many wait until a whole funeral proceasion has gone by, rather than go between theearriagea across the road.

A lady assured me she hadn't a single superstition. One day her little girl 'ook up her mother's hat, which was black crape, and was going to put it on her head. "Minnie," exclaim*! her mother, "don't put that on." "Why?" asked the child. "Because I would not." Tben turning to ine hht ssid, sotto voce, "Somehow or other I never do like to have the children put on

black crape thlugs." Supersti

tion, Vlrs. Blank. Then if a dog bowls at nigbt, how many turn palel "Some one In the nigbborhood is going to die, sure." I must say I was astonished one evening to see a pious old Methodist lady deliberately take off her slipper and turn It wrong side up on the rug. "Why, Mrs. Meekandmild, what is that for?" "O, they .-ay if you bear a dog howl you must take off your slipper Mnd turn it up." "Well, will your slipper be enough to save the lives in this bouse, or must each one of us follow suit?" "Isn't it ridiculous?" she said, but 1 noticed she allowed the slipper to reinaiu there until she was quite sure tbe dog hxd taken himself ot! out of hearing. Even the Dutchman believed in that superstition, for be told a friend' "De tog bowl tredful last, nigbt, and veil I dukes up mine paper die morning, vot you dink^? Souiepody die in Pbiladelpby!"

Then, bow many believe that if the scissors, a knile, or any sharp thing falls to tbe floor and stands up straight, souio visitor is coming! Why, I've seen young ladies in the morning put dowu their sewing and take the critnps out of their hair an hour earlier than usual, just because tbe scissors tell otT the lap aud stuck up straight.

If a ulue bottle comes suddenly Into tbo room and whizzes around pretty industriously, they say "A stranger ia coming." (I should s:iy a stranger bad co mo.)

One lady told me that she was not superstitious at all. "But," she added, "there is one thing that I do not like to do, and that is to break a looking glass." "Well, I don't suppose any of us would occupy ourselves with that little pei formance just for amusement." "O, but," she went on to say, "I never yet broke a glass, or know of any one else breaking one, that the person breaking it, or some relative, didn't die."

Soino won't sing before breakfast for fear they will cry oofore night. Others won't give a knife or pair of scissors to a friend without making him give a [enny, or some amount of money for .t, lest It should "cut love." A gentleman once asked me if I bad three cents about ine. I said, "Yes, and I mean to keep tbem." "No you won't—you'll give them to mo for this knife" a silver mounted beauty, and very cheap for the money—so I purchased the Knife, and we remainod very good friends.

I was walking witb a lady the other day, and "stubbed" my toe against a stone. She turned and asked me with which foot I had stumbled. Wonderingly, I asked her what possible difference it made. She smiled, but insisted upon knowing so I told her it was the right foot "Then you will be welcome where you nro going."

I ouce handed "a gentleman and a scholar" a cup of tea. He seized tbe teaspoon, skimmed off the bubbles on surface of the tea, saying, exultingly. "Ob! look!" and hastily popped them

Into his mouth. "Weir." said I. "what of "Money!" said he. Now do yon suppose that that man thought that swallowing those bubblerfwould bring him any good luck in tho money line? or course he didn't aud ir he should see this in print be would be shocked to think I could imagine him serious In the matter, but tako my word for It, he would never allow hl.« tea bubbles to escape hlni for lack or diligence on bis part to catch them.

I have boen on tho lookout, lately, for the superstitions or those about ine, and could give you hundreds or others, but these u-o samples of those remnants. •.

THE STRENGTH OF THE LA IT. You have thousand or readers (writes a correspondent at Nashville. Tennos see) wbo appreciate a good thing at the exponso even or that "bulwark of our liberties," the trial by Jury. The Hon. N 11 for many years before the war, and at present, our highly respected circuit judge, while perhaps as good a

AMI

pviu-i judge as has ever worn the judicial ermine, is at the same lime one of the most genial of men. No one enjoys or can tell a good story better than he. This ono I think well worthy preservation in your treasury of go**i things, tbo Editor's Drawer. Not many vnarsago tbe judge says, a man was on trial at Waynesborough, in this State, on a charge of murder. The evidence for tbe Slate In—of itself fatally defective—the defendant on bis oart, by the testimony of s«vrr. 1 ut npwchab'.e witness, established a perfect "alibi." Tbe judge aud every one else supposed tbe prosecuting attorney would thereupon give up the case. Hut no he was ait obstinate fellow, whom tbe defendant's counsel had made mad, aud, moreover, he "had no uae tor" the defendant any wav, and argue the case he would. (*urt adjourned till the next morning. Meanwhile our attorneygeneral spent a good portion of the night in ransacking the books for "blomly cases," more especially those In which tbe judgos bad Indulged in a vast deal nf rhetoric In their descriptions of the horrible natnre of the oriuie of murder. These extracts he rettd to tbo jonr in his speech the next morning, quoting also freely from the Old TwUairnt as to t&e proper disposition to he made of the murderer, and closed up In a perfect conflagration uf English adjectives In giving his own notions as to the iadtmeribaMi' heimsm^' of the crime of murder. The Court tben charged the Jury briefly, who, after a few moments* retirement, brought in a verdict of "Clullty of murder In tbe first degree!" Of course a new trial was at once ^granted.

MmetAiM More Thrilling than 8*ork*jf'* Fate.

A few miles west of Omaha, a miry, sluggish stream runs into the Platte, and this stream es called the "Raw Hide." It is said that soon after discovery of gold in California, a young man belonged to a party who started from "the State" and crossed the plains in seacrh [sic] of gold, made a foolish boast before starting from home to the effect that he would shoot the first Indian he saw. The party crossed the Missouri river, and soon found themselves in the great valley of the Platte.

Passing up the valley they encamped one evening on the banks the stream spoken of, which at that time was nameless. As the train was about to move out the next morning, a small party of young Indians, who had come across the river from the opposite side, approached the encampment. These were the first Indians the party had seen, and the young man who had said that he intended to shoot the first Indian he saw, was reminded of his boast, and he immediately picked up his rifle, took aim at a young squaw and shot her dead.

The news was carried to the village at once, and the party of whites were surrounded by exasperated Indians and the young man who had done the shooting was seized, stripped, tied to a wagon wheel and skinned alive, the poor fellow begging of both enemies and friends to shoot him and thus end his horrible sufferings.

The remainder of his party were compelled to stand by and witness the torture without being able to render him any assistance. Tbe unfortunate man survived the operation but a few moments, and the emigrants were then allowed to move on. Since then the stream upon whose banks the horrible affair occurred has been known us "The Raw Hide.'" -----

PRESENTLY.

Never say you will do presently whnt your conscience tells you should be done now. .No man ever shaped bis own destiny, or tbe destiny of others, wistly and well, who dealt much in presentlies. Look at Nature she never postpones. Whcu tbe time arrives for the bud9 to open, they open—for the leaves to fall, tbey fall. Look upward the shining worlds never put off their rising or settiugs. Tbo cornets, eyen, erratic as they are, keep their appointments, and eclipses are punctual to th- minute. There are no delays in .be movements ol the universe which have been predetermined by the absolute fiat of the Creator. Procrastination among the stars might involve tbe destruction of innumerable systems procrastination in the operations of nature on this earth might result in famine, pestilence, and tbo blotting out of the human race.

Man, however, being a free agent, can postpone the performance of his duty —and be does so, too, frequently to bis own destruction. Tbe drafts drawn by indolence upon the future are pretty sure to be dishonored. Make Now "your banker. Do not. say yon will economize presently, for presently yon may be bankrupt nor that you will repent or make atonement presently, fjr presently you may be judged. Bear in mind the great tact, taught alike by the history of nation*, rulers and private individuals, that at least three times out of five, prosently is too late.

Senerous,

A TRUE WIFE.

D.iVifel Webster once said: There ia nothing upon this earth that can compare with the faithfnl attachment of a wife no cruature who, lor the object of her love, is so indomitable, so pers'eveting, so ready to suffer and die. Under the most depressing circumstances, woman's weakness bccomos a mighty power, her timidity become* fearless courage, all ber shiinkinjr and sinking passes away, and spirit acquires tbe firmness of marble—adamantine firmnew—when circumstance* drive ber to put forth all her energies under tne iu*pir\tion of her affection. It is the bubb!in»i«crea which flows gently,the little livulet bich runs along day and nlglit by the farm-house that Is useful, rather ban tbe swollen flood or cataract. Niagara excite* our wonder, and we stand amazed at the power and greatness of Uod there, aa It pours from tbe hollow of His hand. But one Niagara is enough for a cOMtiuent or the world, while the same world requires thousands and tens of thousands of silver fountains and flowing, rivulets, that water every farm and meadow and garden, and that shall flow on every day and igbt with their gentle quiet beauty. So with the act* of our live*. It is not by great deeds, like the itiar^rrs, that good Is to be done, but by the daily and quiet virtues of our life, tbe Christian's temper, tbe good qualities of relatives and friends.

1 EXTEMPORE PREACHING. The preacher, by putting aside his sermon book, may gain in warmth, •which wo don't want, but lose in reasou, which we do. If I were a defender of the faith, I would Issue an ordeito all priests and deacons to take to the book again weighing well, before tbey uttered it, every word they proposed tnsav upon so great a subject as that of religion and mistrusting that dangerous .facility given by active jaws and a hot imagination. Reverend divines have adopted this habit, snd keep us for an hour listening to what might well be told in ten inTnutos. They uro wondrously fluent, considering all things and though 1 have heard many a sentence begun whereof tbe speaker evidently did not know the conclusion yet, somehow or other be alwus managed to got through the paragraph hiatus, oxcept, perhaps, In the sense. As far ns I can remark, it is not calm, plain, downright preuoliors wbo preserve the extemporaneous system for the most part, but pompous orators, indulging in all the cheap graces of rliotorlo—exaggerating words and feelings to make eUeet, nnd dealing In pious caricature. Church-goors become excited by this loud talk and captivating .manner, and can't go back afterwards to a sober discourse read out of a gravo old sermon book, appealing to the rosson and gentle feelings, instead of tbe passions and the imagination. Beware of too inuch talk, O parsons.

Tho girl fell Into a profound sleep almost? immediately, and her motiier, upoi^ trying to awaken her in season for supper was surprised to find her efforts unavailing. After the family had eaten supper, they again iried to awaken the girl, but still without avail. Tho famibecoining seriously alarmed, tho neighbors wero called in, but they conld not suggest unv method by which the fair sleeper could be aroused. A physic-Inn* WHS also Bummdned, and he called iu three other m-dlcal men, who, among other methods, sat tho girl in a cliairand poured water from a few feetabo\o, upon her head and shoulders, but even this failed, ifnd the still sleeping girl was put to bed again.
