A little nonsense now and then, Is relished by the wisest men.

A writer says that “Napoleon lost “'aterloo because he was sleepy." \Ve always thought that it was \Vellington who took 11. “ little nap" about that time.

“Tell me,’ said one French child to another, ” which would you rather lose, your father or your mother?" “ I don't know." “I do. I would rather lose malnma, because it's papa who makes all the money."

‘I say, Mister, I don't suppose you don't know of nobody who don't want to hire nobody to do notllin', don‘t you ii The answer was, ' Yes, I don't.‘

Too Thou—The man who is awfully .urbane to his wife before strangers, is generally “ hcr bane" behind their backs.

Man may be a worm ; but a glance at the duudies proves that he is not the -wurm that never dyes.

Bacheloric exclamation -— “ a lass! Maidcnly exclan1atio1.~-h ah men 3"

()u a certain occasion an officer of the royal army was introduced to a party of ladies having the rather singular name of Captain Silk; whereupon one of them saucin remarked. “ You have a queer name for a soldier, sir." “ The very best in the world," he replied, “ for sill: can never be worsted.”

” How well he plays for one so young," said Mrs. l’artington, as the organ boy performed with a monkey near the door; and how much his little brother looks like him, to be sure."

“ Have you ever broken a horse ?" in- quired a horse-jockey. “ No, not ex- actly, but I_ have broken two or three wagons," replied Simon.

A German wrote an obituary on the death of his wife, of which the following is'a copy :—" If mine wife had lived un- til next Friday shu would have been dead shust two Wt‘ChS. Nothing is possible with the Almighty. As the tree falls so must it stain .”

What's the difference between a wo- man hawlting around embryo salmon, and a Charlottetown news boy? (Inc is trying to sell her salmon Eggs, and the other to sell L'ggsxaminer.

Miscellaneous.

Sun NEVER Leaves Hun—Look at the career ofa man as he passes through the world; at man visited byn1isfortunc I; Ilow often is he left by his fellow-men to 1 sink under the weight of his afl‘lictions,; unhccded and alone ! One friend of his“ own scx forgets him, another abandons him, a third, perhaps, betrays him ‘, but woman, faithful woman, follows him in his ufl‘lictions with unshaken affection ; braves the changes of feeling, of his tem- per, embittered by the disappointments of the world, with the highest of all virtue ; in resigned patience ministers to his wants, even when her own are hard and pressing: she weeps with him, tour for tear, in his distresses, and is the first to catch and reflect a ray ofjoy, should but one light up his countenance in the midst of his sufferings; and she never leaves him in his misery while there re- mains one act of love, duty or compass- ion to be performed. And at last, when life and sorrow come to an end, she fol- lows him to the tomb with an ardor of affection which death its elf cannot des- troy.

THE ORDER on'rnn GAB’I‘ER —Quccn Victoria, with herown hands, lately hung the ribbons of the garter on the neck of the Sultan—There can be but twenty- five Knights companions, though there may be ‘ Extra Knights,’ like his Majesty the Sultan. and among other famous per- sonagcs, like Henri Quatre, Christian the Fourth of Denmark, and Gustavus Adol- phus. Sometimes the garter is made rc- splcndcur with jewels. That worn by Charles the First on the scaffold contain- ed four hundred and twelve diamonds, 'and was bought by Ireton for $10,250 ; but the normal type of the decoration is a strip of dark blue velvet, edged with gold, and having also a gold pendant and buckle.

PARENTAL Inrr.u1:xon.——I’arents should always be aware that their conduct be- fore a child in word or deed, forms a part of its education. They create the moral atmosphere for good or evil their little once must breathe. It is common to find ,thc public and private life of public men very different. The explanation is that a man's public life is what his public ed- ucation has made it, and his private life has been formed by the influences and associations that have clustered around him in the home of his childhood. Ex- ample is the best ofall teachers, or the worst, as the home may be the best, or worst, of all schools. \Vhen they are the former, keep your chilcrcn at home ; when they are the latter, reform them, or pack your boys and girls off to boarding "schools.

Wu: wn-u ENGLAND—\VHAT 1T l‘IEANS, ——Tl1o New York Commercial Advertiser ‘cnquires—“ Do any of these writers, who .talk so easily about war with England, know what it means? ,If they do, they .must ho aware that any loose talk of this kind is injurious, and even wicked. If they do not. and yet wish for their own purposes to loment a needless war with that country, we will tell them what it does mean. ltmcans a struggle which England :nmst regard as one for lilc or death. and in vwhich it will be prodit'al of life and trca- euro, both to ho expended with more deter- mination tluln‘il. showed in the long war ‘wilh tho Ilrst Napoleon. It means a Wll in which uni-strength would be fully taxed. and from which, with the sea for 0111' bat~ tle-field, wu should emerge with untold (Inllt, po matter what the resultot the con- flict. And it means an absolute severance of tho two great nations that speak the language and use tho institutions that art- dcsliucd logovcrn the world. and we trust, for lhe world's benclit. "this 1.9 neces— _snry, we will do our part in it like men with 11 clear knowledge of consequences; but, il'it is not necessary. we will refuse to ,bo bounded on it, even it the voice bo that of ,p charmer."

anttulturr.

' Snxs'o. following extract 0le letter froln afriend, contains a sug- gestion or two that may be beneficial to some of our readers :—

“Thc Winter though rather long, has been very favorable for farmers generally, suflicicnt snow to make good sleighing .for visiting one's friends, and good sledd- ing for getting out fire wood, saw-logs to the mills, and poles for fencing; all of which, evcryprudenl farmer has ofcourse attended to. It will soon be time tolook after fences, repair and fix up where neces- sary, undgct them all in order before the Spring work commences; to have yrlutl fences should be the aim and pride of every farmer, it enables him to feel pretty certain that he can keep his cattle in his own pastures; and his neighbours’ cattle from running over his pasture and fields, thereby saving much valuable time, and often angry words and ill feel- ing, which between neighbors, ought always to be avoided."

Old currant bushes are among the most unpromisiag things with which man has to deal ; their tangled and 1111ssl1apcn stalks present a puzzle to the novice, Whatever is done should be undertaken during the first mild spell, as the currant pushes very early. The bush will prob- ably have numerous shoots starting from below ground, or near the surface; cut out all but four or six ofthese, according to the size ofthe plant, leaving only the most healthy looking ones, and taking care to have these as equally distant as possible. The fruit is borne on wood two or more years old. One-year-old wood is distinguished by its different color and small buds. Cut out all weak shoots of this kind, and shorten the stronger ones two-thirds or one—half. Manure around the bushes, and when dry weather ap- proaches, mulch. Make the old bushes du'thcir best, and start a new plantation which will come into bearing in two years.

T111: IIIANAGEMISNT or HOT—mans.— The making of'a hot-bed is a very easy matter; when it is done, it has to be cared for, and here is where many fail. The plants in the bed, naturally tender from the manner in which they have been raised, are in a confined space, with a heating medium below them which gives the air in which they are enclosed as high a temperature as they can well on- dure. If now this already heated space he made still hotter by the direct rays of the sun, the tender and succulent plants at once perish. As soon as the plants are up, the bed must have not only daily attention, but at least twicedaily—morn- ing and afternoon. In the morning, about nine o' clock, the upper edge ofthe sash must be raised by means of a wedge- shaped block, the opening being more or less, according to the interior temperature and the heat of the sun. This operation is termed “airing” and by proper attent- ion to it, injury from overheating may be avoided. In guarding against danger from heat, that from the opposite extreme should not be incurred. The sashes are to be closed in the afternoon whcn the force of the sun has abated, and on cold days opened very slightly, or not at all. Watering, when required, is to be done, from a watering—pot with a very fine rose, so as to compact the earth as little as possible. \Vccds are sometimes trouble- some in hot-beds, and they shonld never be allowed to get a stub—American r’lgricullurisl.

Sowmo Cmvnn Sump—Test the seed, unless it is known to be good. To do this, take a saucer half full of sand, pat it level, sprinkle on a known number of seeds, lay a piece ofmuslin over them, and put a light layer of sand upon it; keep all moist, and after a few days, see how many sccdsgcrminate. Before sow- ing clover, practice taking a pinch for a cost between the thumb and two fingers, doing it many times, until the same quantity is taken each time. The chief advantage of sowing upon alight fall of snow is, that the evenness and regularity of the casts may be seen. To sow well requires practice. The field should be paced, the amount ofsced estimated, then measured out, and divided, for a begin- ner. into as many equal parcels as he will need to test the accuracy of his sowing. It is best for a very raw hand to sow half the entire lotofsced, making it cover the whole field, and then, going at right angles, to sow the other half. A good way is, to wait until the seed starts and shows spots which have too little and then scatter on some additional seed, so as to remedy the defect.

\Vrsn S.\v1nos.—VVe have gathered a few sayings from excellent authority. They are worth reading, remembering and preserving.

Buy 11. form wagon before a fine car- riagc.

Don't become security for him who waits for the sheriff.

Don’t buy a piano for your daughters while your sons need a plow.

Don't leave to memory what should be written ;it makes law-suits.

Don't let your horses be seen standing much at the beer saloon; it don't look right,

Don't give the merchant 11. chance to dun you. Prompt payment masz inde- pendent men.

Keep good fences, especially line; they promote good feelings between neighbors.

If you have 11 yoke of oxen, don't be ashamed of them and give your note for a span ofhorscs.

A decent, substantial clothing for your children, makes them think better of themselves, and keeps the doctors away.

When the labors of the day are part, let good books and newspapers invite the youngsters to the sitting room.

The Spring work has now fairly com- menced. Several Farmers are ploughing already. We will endeavor to devote a column of our paper to Agricultural items each. We would invite our far- mers 11nd farmer's sons to send us an

articc on this important subject occa- sionnlly. ltwill do them and us good.
