A Nizui'rivi; Ai’r‘mxri'rivic. —- .\Ir. Timms. a farmer up in the country, had: 3 habit of putting in “Yes yes, yes ycs,"‘- at every pause in his speaking. which‘. sometimes had a ludicrous cll'cct. The; old fellow owned a line horse. which he} was very careful of. and would never Itnd‘ or hire him to the most particular of hisi friends. A youngster of the vill.ige,who wished the horse for a Sunday ride, went over to the old man's house. to hire the. animal. if possible.

yes yes, yes yes." said Timms? “ mid you say you'll rid.- him gently.= yes yes. yes yes; and rub him down well when you get where you are going.= yes yes. yes yes; and will give me a dollar in“ the use ofbim? yes yes. yes yes. \Vcll upon the whole, you can‘t. have him,’ yes yes. yes yes."

The young man left sorrowing.

So there‘s been a rupture of Mount Vo- ciferous I ” said Mrs. I’artington. as she read in the Journal an account of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. and she put

down the pap3r and put up her SPCCS.‘

The paper tells all about the burning lather running down the mountain, but it don't tell us how it got atirc. I won- der it it was set tire to. people full wicked enough to do it. or’ perhaps it was caused by children play- ing with frictions matches. I wish they! had sent for our firemen—they would! soon have put a stop to the ragin' ail— ment; and I dnrcjsay Mr. II—~—-and all of 'em would have gone, for they arcl what I call real civil engineers." ‘

There was a whole broadside of com-l mendation of the tire companv in theI impressive gesture accompanying licrl

words. “ Time and space" for a moment} became annihilated. and iniaginalion‘

figured the city cngiuc pouring its sub-E duing stream upon the flames of Vesuvi-V‘ us, and “ Hold on seving I" “ llrcak‘ her down twelve I" rising above the vain‘ roarings of the smothering crater.

“ I haven’t got any money." said Mrs. Partingtou. as the box came round at thel close of a charity lecture; “ but here's a couple of elegant sausages l have brought that you can give the poor cretnrs l" The. box-holder looked confounded—the peo- ’ ple smiled. With her view of charity. she saw nothing wrong in the act. Illcss thee. Mrs. l’artingtnn! angels shall rc- cord the deed on the credit side of thy account. and where hearts are judged shall thy simple gift weigh like gold in the day of award.

“ I keep the best bread," said a cer- tain baker the other day to a poor fellow who complained of the inferior quality of the article he had purchased of him the day before. “ I do not doubt it." replied the customer. “Then why do you corn- plain?” asked the baker. " llecuuse I

would suggest that you sell the best‘

and keep the bad." was the reply.

During the recent session of the Equal Rights Convention, a strongvmindcd female entered a crowded street-railroad car. An old gent rose to give her a seat but asked, “lie you one of those women's fighters?" “I be."—-Yon believe a wom- an should have all the rights of a man?" “Yes. I do." Then stand up and enjoy them like a man." And stand up she had to do.

The remains of the bachelor who burst into tears on reading,r a description of masried life, have been found, and secured by a set of hoops.

“ Sec there," exclaimed a returned Irish soldier to a gaping crowd. as be exhibited with some pride bis tall but with a bullet hole in it. “Look at that; hole, will you? You see that ifit had been a low crowncd hat. I should have been killed outright.

The most rcccnt ease of absence of mind is that of an editor who recently copied from a hostile paper one of his' own articles and headed it, “ \\'rctched attempt at nit."

If a girl thinks more of her heels than her head. depend upon it. she will never amount to lunch. Brains which settle in the shoes never get above them.— Young gentlcmcn will pleasc put this down.

a may be. it has been a successful protec- tion to the fruit during my three years' experiment. It may be well to remem- ber that I always gave my trees a thorough smoking; I doubt the success of Homeopathy treatment in such cases.

quri‘xrius —It is of great importance to Iiave good seeds of good kinds. Do no; delay getting at once all that may be riccdful.

DRAKE—Plant bush sorts as soon as danger of frost is past. Limas shuzdd be left until the ground is warm.

Ilizi xx n C.\unn'rs‘———Sow early sorts in drills u footapart. or in two-foot drills with radisth between.

CHESS. on l’cr-rnnouiss. — Sow a small quantity every ten days to keep up the supply. Dust the young plants with air-slakcd Iinic, if insects trouble them. i

I’uxs.~—-The distance will depend up- on the height the variety grows. Dwarfs will do a foot or 13 inches apart. while hose requiring brush will need to be 3 r 4 feet or muc distant.

Plant in rows. as far as possible. as this is much more convenientin working than the old fashioned way of dividing up the garden into small beds.

Seed-beds will be needed by those who do not use glass for starting their plants, and for plants for later crops. The soil should be rich and light, of a nature that will not become compacted or caked. Many failures with seeds are due to the inability of the delicate plant to force its way through the heavy baked soil. Sow here all plants that are to be transplanted. such as cabbagcs, cclery, sweet herbs. etc.
