TEItERANCE FABLE. The rats once assembled in a large cellar to devise some method of safety in geuing the bait from a small trap which lay near, having seen numbers of their friends and relations snatched from them by Its tnercllesa jaws. ^Afier many long speeches, and the proposal of many eluborate but fruitless plans, a happy wit, standing erect, said, It is my opinion that, if with one paw we can keep down the spring, we can safely take the food from the trap with the other.5' All the rats present loudly squeeled assent, and slapped their tails in applause. The meeting adjourned, and the rats retired to their homes, but the devastations of the trap being by no means diminished, the rats were forced to call another*44 convention." The elders just assembled, had commenced their deliberations, when all were startled by a faint voice, and a poor rat with only three regs, limping into the ring, stood up to speak.— All were instantly silent, when stretching out the bleeding remains of his leg, he said:
44
My friends, I have tried the
method you proposed, and you see the resultl Now let me suggest a plan to escape the trap—'Do not touch it!'"
A FOX STORY.
Any body who has heard Rory O' More's famous story of the fox, in Lover's amusing play of that name, will confess that it is not quite equal to the following, which is taken from the St. Johnsbury Caledonian, a Vermont paper:
44Last
week, in the town of Newbury,
a fox-hunter, with two hounds, got upon the track of a poor fox, which was pursued until towards the close of ihe day. Fox found matters were drawing to a desperate crisis with him—and just at this time the whistle of the railroad train was heard, when he struck off in the direction, and approached the track just as the train carne up, and leaped it immediately preceding the engine, a»d the two hounds close in pursuit. Each hound was caught by the wheels of the engine—the foremost lost about a foot of his tail, and the one in the rear was cut off just behind his hips—and off went fox alone in his glory.' However improbable this may appear, we are assured by a director of the road that it is a fact.
A Fair Bet Fairly Won.
Said Bill to Richard the other day, "Did you ever hear how tough hided I am?" "I never did," replied Dick, "tougher than common folks?"
t4I
reckon 'tis a few—why I'll bet you a drink, Dick, that you may take a cow hide and lay it on my bare skin as hard and as long as you like, and I won't even flinch." "Done—I'll take that bet. If I don make you squirm like a half skinned eel the first cut, I'm sadly mistaken." "You take the bet then?" "I do." •'Well, wait till I go up stairs and bring down my bear skin, and—*' "O, ho! your bear skin No, no, 1
riionn-
It's
fair bet fairly one. My bear skin is my bear skin, and nothing £fee." "I will give in," said Richard looking foolish and flabergasted "let's adjourn to tho pewter mug, and say no more about it."
Coming Gradually to tho Pure Element. The S. C. Advocate relates on amusing ancedote which occurred between a couple of Dutchmen, one of whom was devoted to "schnaps." Mis friend was eloquently persuading him to "jine der dempranch," and to obviate the terrors of'coming to pure water "all of a sudden," suggested tho following expedient:—Vel,den, Hannes, I doll you how you do. You go and buy un parrel viskey, and take it homo, put a foshet in it and vhenefer you vant un schnap, go and draw it, and shustso much viskey ash you draw offier foshet, shust so much vateryou pour into der parrel don you see you haf alvays a full parrel viskey, only d'rectly after a vile, it come vcaker and veaker, and at laslu vou haf noting put un parrel of vater den you vant no more use for viskey, and you jine der dempranch."
Piling up the Agony.
"Well, Anne, have you consented yet to bo the wife of Mr. White?" "No, Sally, I didn't quite consent." "Why not I think he loves you." "Yes, but he didn't pile up the agony high enough When I give my hand to a wooer, I want him to call upon the gods to witness his deop devotion to mo. I want him to knoel at my feet, take one of my hands between both of his, and with a look that would melt an adamantine rock to pity, to beg of me to take compassion on his dreadful sufferings and then I want him to end by sweariug to blow his brains out on the spot if I do not compassionate hia miseries."
A PITXKTJR.
We find the following in an exchange with a request to know what theduce it means:
A lady requosted of a gentleman his cypher, and he sent her tho following
You 0*0 bat I 0 thee— O 0 no 0 but O 0 me— Then l«t my 0 tby 0 be, And give 0 0 I 0 theft.
We think we can translato the stanza. Pmr example:
Ton nfA.&r ry*T, b«t 1 sight# thee O! sighfor no eyher, bat O! sigh for me Then let my cypher thy ryftbrt be, And give sighjbr 1 thee.
Mrs. Partington wonders why it is that every body is complaining of the males. To be sure, she savs, they sometimes get obstropulous and don't come when they're wanted but bless their fault-find-ing souls, how do they reckon she got along during the revolutionary war, when there wasn't one male to a whole neighborhood! Really such complaints .are shocking to more*dusty.
Laudanum drinking is almost as common among tho poorer classes in the English country towns as opium eating in China. The Newcastle JmmaJsavs,|and that in many towns in Durham, the chemists prepare a large pitcher of laud* anumand water, which they deal in pennyworths or more, and which is swallowed with as much gusto as a drain.
WORK IN THE GARDEN. %farch is a month in which the labors in the Garden may be said to commence for unless the Spring be singularly pro-, tracted, there is scarcely any work that may not seasonably be done now.
Early Potatoes.-—These should be planted so soon as the frost is out of the ground, and a bed can he prepared for them. .Early Turnips.—This is a vegetable, which every family should grow in their garden, but which most farmers neglect, never dreaming of anything but a patch for fall and winter use. A bed, 20 by 40 feet, would grow a supply for table use even for a very large family, and assuch is the case they should not be neglected.
Rhubarb or Pie Plant.—The plants of this vegetable should be set out early this month—where there are no plants to be had. the seed may be sown, the earlier the better. "'Fruit Trees of all kinds, shrubbery, grape-vines, raspberries, goosberries, should be planted out early this pionth,—so also should they be pruned as early as possible. If you should, perchance, have none of these in your garden, conclude at once that you have been thus far in error, and make up your mind to remedy that error forthwith, by getting some of each and planting them out, for you may rest assured that a garden in which they are not to be found, is but a mockery of the thing it would seem to be.
Asparagus Be/Is.—These should be dressed with a compost made of 7 parts well-rotted manure, and 1 part ashes.— Incorporate these well together then spread the compost about 2 inches thick between the alleys, taking care not to injure the crowns of the roots in the manure. This done, rake smooth, and sow over the bed, at the rate of a gallon of salt to every 80 squarefeet By pursuing this course you will have fine large, early Asparagus.
If you have not a bed of asparagus, now is the time to make up for that deficiency, by sowing the seed.
Carrots, Parsnips and Beets.—For early use these fine table roots cannot be got in too early this month. Therefore as soon as your ground will admit of it, prepare a bed for the reception of your seed.
GRAIN FIELDS OF THE WEST. The Cincinnati Gazette furnishes the following paragraphs, which give some idea of the grain producing ability of the great West, and of the extent to which that ability is carried:
John Davis, of Waverly, Ross county, Ohio, cultivates 1800 acres exclusively in Indian Corn, and has this winter a corn crib filled which is three miles long, ten feet high and six feet wide. We presume this is one of the largest corn fields in the world, owned by a single individual.
On the Great Miami Bottom, adjoinawrenceburgh, Indiana, about 25
mrws below Cincinnati, there is one field seven miles long by three miles broad, extending in fact to Aurora, which has been regularly planted down to corn for nearly half a century. It is not cut up by fences, although belonging to about a dozen owners, all of the family of Ilayes, Guards, and Millers. Although corn is one of the most exhausting crops, no manure is ever used and the soil is as deep, strong and fertile as ever.
The Wabash Valley is also remarkable for the extent of its corn fields. Between Terre Haute and Lafayette, the road maybe said to wind through a continuous corn field one field being certainly ten miles long.
In the northern part of Indiana, wheat is more generally cultivated,and between Laporte and Michigan City, the road runs for ten miles through a magnificent wheat field without a single division fence, though owned by several individuals.
TIIE SUN FLOWER.
For fattening purposes, this is one of the cheapest and best plants that can be raised. The yield is about fifty bushels per acre, which will yield fifty gallons of oil, and fifteen hundred pounds of oil cakc. They arc especially adapted to fattening beeves, hogs, fowls, dsc.
In planting, the ground should be well ploughed and harrowed, and laid off in rows twelve inches each way, the seed being dropped in the angles. The necessary quantity of seed is from four to five pounds per acre. They should be planted in April. The plants require no after culture. So soon as the seed turn black, the heads should be removed, when the whole aro gaihered the seed are easily Hailed out. The stalks of one acre of ground will yield ono thousand pounds of potash, for which purpose they can be burns and used in making com post. If possible, they should bo grown upon swamp-land well drained this is necessary as they rapidly exhaust the land of potash. The seed can be bruis ed in a common cider-mi 11, and, if the oil be wanted, pressed in the cider-press The oil bums with a brilliant flame and fragrant odor. Most farmers would find this to afford the cheapest and best light The leaves, while green, afford most ex celient food for stock.—Amer. Far.
The Bat Pasta re*
Those who desire a quick and pcrm anent pasture, will find it to their inter est to put a half bushel of blue grass to same quantity of red top, a half gallon of timothy and half gallon of clover seed on each acre of land.v The clover and timothy will furnish pretty good grazing the first year tto second, ail will afford a rich bite, and the third year the blue grass will have gotten the ascendancy and wilt prove the best pasture. But every kind will have paid quadruple/or seed and labor. 7T.. 0
To Make Yeast.
To two middling sixed boiled potatoes, add a pint of boiling water and two table spoonfuls of brown sugar. One pint of hot water should be applied to every half pint of the compound. Hot water is better in warm weather. This yeast, •being made with flour, will keen longer. is said to he much better tnan any previously in u«e.

Respected Sir and Friend
have always been subject to that dreadful complaint, Rheumatism, but I never knew what agony tuinan being could suffer, till I joined the Army. I was emrvrcd in all of GENERAL TAYLOR'S buttles, am! was at Cerro Gordo with GENERAL SCOTT. During a portion of the Campaign we were much exposed to the night air in damp situations, and I soon perceived that thU favored my old complaint, Tho firit attack of the enemy (I mean Rheumatism) I had in Mexico, was in the right shoulder then my whole arm got stiff and 1 could scarcely hold my musket—and one morning in the month of .March last, after sleeping under the Chaparral, I could scarcely raise myself. I fairly shrieked with agony. I was soon after placed in the surgeon's hands, but I continued to get worse and worse. The pains extended all over my body, in my head, and even in my ankles and toes. At San Angelo I got my discharge, and when I arrived in Boston, I was helpless, hopeless and perfectly miserable. I would take no more medicine, for I had taken too much already but reading your advertisement, indticed me to send to your Agent, Mrs. E. KIDDER, Court street, and got a

THIS
Machine, on which LETTERS PATENT were granted on the first of May, 1847, is one of the most important improvements of the age.
It will dress rived Staves in the most perfect manner, and challenges competition with any other Machine yet put in use, or even the drawing knife of the Cooper. It possesses the advantage, of following the grain of the wood, so as to leave the full strength ol the timber, on winding and crooked, as well as the straight inspected Stave, and runs at the rate of 540 per hour— which is as fust as an expert workman can examine and properly place a stave in a machine—-ma-king good work of every stave that should properly he worked into a barrel, reducing all to a uniform thickness.
The DRESSERis accompanied by a JOINTER of an entire new construction, which produces a most perfect joint, preparing staves without any refitting, of sixes varying from a half barrel to a hogshead, that when set up will be found perfectly air-tight..
This Machinery Is recommended with confidence to the attention of all persons engaged in tbe Cooperage business, either for their own mills, or in tbe manufacture of cooperage-ware for the market.
The Machinery is in urn in most of our large seaport cities also at St Louis, (Mo.) and Urbana, Ohio, and driven by water or steam power.— Where the latter ia used, with boiler properly set, the ahavings will afford more fuel than an engine of a 15 horse power will require.
