I declare I should think the} poor creetur would be completely exas- perated with fatigue; and I’m certain he hasn't eat a blessed mouthful of anything all the while. Captain, do call the poor eretur down, or Natur can’t stand it.” There was a tremor in her voice as ir- dignant humanity found utterance, ‘* It ain't Christain—it is more like the treat- ment of Hottenpots or heathen !” ‘The captain went on deck, and a sud- den lurch of the vessel sent the old lady, on her beam-ends among some boxes, re- | covering from which forgetfulness of “Hardy Lee” ensued, and this tack brought her to the wharf. | | | | | | | Suockine Joxr.—'1 see,” suid old} Roger to a farmer topping corn, ** that” to one branch of your industry you are, its worst enemy.” | “Why ?” asked the farmer. | “Because,” replied he, ‘you are! the harness in the wood-house, the axe always raising shocks for the corn-| market.” | ** Yes," quietly replied the farmer, “but the market is always saying, * lend us your cars.’ ” : | Old Roger and the farmer smiled at each other as they parted. ‘1 like to tend weddings,” said Mrs. | Partington, as she came back froma) neighbouring church, where one had been ; celebrated, and hung up her shawl, and replaced the black bonnet in the long- preserved bandbox. ‘+ Ilike to see young people come together with the promise to love, cherish, and nourish each other. But it isa solemn thing, is matrimony,— a very solemn thing,—where the pasture | comes into the chancery, with his surplus | on, and goes through with the cerement) of making "em man and wife, It ought) to be husband and wife ; for it a’n't every | husband that turns a man. I declare 1 shall never forget how I felt when ~ had) the nuptial ring put on my finger when, Paul said ‘* Wi.h my goods 1 t'iee endow.” | He used to keep a dry goods store then, | and I thought he was going to give me all that was in it. I was young and simple and did not know till arterwards that it) only meant one calico gound a year. It) . is alovely sight to see young people plighting their trough, and coming up to consume their vows. Precocrovs.—Three little gigls were | playing among the sage-brush in the; back yard. ‘Iwo of them were ‘* making | believe keep house,” a few yards distant from each other—neighbours as it were. One of them says to the third: ** There now, Nelly, you go to Sarah’s house, and stop a little while and talk, and then come back and tell me what she says about me; and then I'll talk about, her; and you go and tell her all I say, and then we'll get mad and won't speak to each other, just like our mothers do, you know. Oh, thattll be such fun.” Bills make people billious in proportion | as they beer a signature. ‘The simple, presence or absence of a name makes all the difference in the world. An unreceipt- ed bit of paper has the proportions and stature of a mountain. Attach a few) letters of the right sort and it becomes a! mere scrap of'vellum. With them aman may sleep like a pig; without them he may be as restless as a ship in astorm. Trountes.—To get rid of your trou- | bles, stop thinking of them, Whether you are as lively as a cricket or as dull as rain depends less on the size of your pocket-book than on the condition of your mind. Low spirits are always produced by want of exercise and oxygin. A brisk walk will kill the blues in less time than you can slaughter a bobtailed fly with a flat-iron. A profound observer remarks ‘1 have often observed at public entertainments that when there is anything to be seen, everybody wants particularly to see it, every-body immmediately stands up and cifectually prevents anybody from seeing anything. Great talent for conversation should be accompanied with great politeness. He who eclipses others owes them civilities; and, whatever mistaken vanity may tell us, it is betterto please in conversation than to shine in it. I sot ne down, in thought profound, This maxim wise I drew; It is easier for to love a gal Than to make a gal love you. Ifa man sells his watch for $50 and buys it back for $40 then sells it for $45° how much does he gain in the transaction? Tt looks as if he made $15 but he didn’t. Boy, can you tell me how much? There is nothing that our young friends can cultivate with more profit than neat- ness, Strive to be neat and order]; in all your ways, and after a while neatness itself will become a habit. The only way for a man to escape be- ing found out is to pass for what he is. A famous judge came late to cout one day in busy seasons, whereat his clerk, ir great surprise, inquired of him the reason. ‘* Achild was born,” his honor said, ‘‘and I'm the happy sire.” **An infant judge ?’—*‘Oh, no,” said he, ‘‘as yet he’s but a crier,” A countryman who was charged with ten gallons of whiskey, though the pub- lican had sent him only an eight gallon keg, said he ‘didn't mind the money overcharged so much as the strain on the keg.” A young woman being asked by a politican what party she was most in favor of, replied that she preferred a Diteulinrnl.

Yet, many have no tool house or place of shelter for any implement or vehicle, Things are left where they were lust use:l, the plow in the field, the cart in the yard, the chains in the stable, in the wood-pile, and the rakes in the corn-crib. Many do not house even the expensive implements they have bought and reapers and thrashers are treated like old plows andharrows. ‘The parts made of iron and stcel grow rusty, and the wood decays.
