Contentment.

Once upon a time an old red hen,

Went strutting round witbpompous clucks For she had little babies ten,

A part of which were tiny ducks ‘ "Tis very rare that hens,” said she,

‘Have baby ducks as wellas chicks— But | possess, as you Can see,

Ot chickens four and ducklings six!”

A season later, this old hen

Appeared, still cackling of her luck, For, though she boasted babies ten,

Not ove among them was a duck!

Tis well, she murmured, brooding o'er

The little chicks of fleecy down—- ‘My babies now will stay ashore,

And, consequently cannot drown !’’

The following spring, the old red hen Clucked just as proudly as of yore— Bntlo! her babes were ducklings ten, lustead of chickens, as betore ! -« "Tis better,’ said the old rea hen, As she surveyed her waddling brood : “A little water now and then Wilt surely do my darlings good !"’

Bot oh, alas, how very sed!

When genile spring rolled round again The eggs evacuated bad,

And childless was the old red hen! Yet patiently she bore her woe

Aud still she wore a cheerful air, And said ; “Tis best things are so,

For babies are a dreadful care !"’

[ half suspect that mavy men, And many, Many women, too, Conld learn a lesson from the hen With toliage of vermillion hue; She ne’er presumed to take offence | At any fate that might befall, But meekly bowed to Providence— She was coniented—tbat was all.

Preparing Produce for Market. |

It isfor the interest of every far-| mer, who has produce to sell, to estab-| lish for himself a reputation for fair and | honest dealings, to secure which re | quires that all articles put up in pack- ages, should prove to be exactly as_ re- | presented. There is no real advantage | gained in an endeavor to play a sharp | practice by making a good show of the} exposed poriions of a package of pro-| duce, while the inuer portions are tilled | witb an inferior article. ‘The first time | weare cheated by a person, the person | is to blame; but the second time we are | cheated by the same perscen, the blame | is transferred to us. The same rule) applies to all business transactions. f a dealer in truit makes a purchase | of apples in barrels, which at the head | appears to be first-class, but which, on | going deeper into the barrel prove to be | of a second quality, or a much lower grade than was represented, the person | selliog will be marked, and will bardly | be able to sell at the same place a second | time, There has never been any abate | ment of the force of the old adage} that “Honesty is the best policy.”

In putting up any product for the} market let the quality be uniform no} matter what the grade. If out of ten} barrels of apples only five can be called | extra quality, let the five be assorted from the others, and those of a second or third quality be placed by them- selves, and the amount realized will be more satisfactory. In the case of fruits or vegetables, it takes but very few of an inierior quality to greatly injure the whole lot when mixed with what would otherwise pass as first quality. Another point to be considered is, there is al- ways a ready sale for a really nice and | meritorious article; when for an inferior article, there is hardly any sale at all. Again, produce put up in an attractive manner will usually find a more ready sale, than when put up ina slowvenly manber.

This was recently illustrated in the sale of a basket of tomatoes. They had been carefully picked up, and nicely arranged in a basket, the top of which was ornamented with a pleasing ar rangement of leaves. On going to mar- ke!, inanswerto the inquiry if any tomatoes were wanted, the reply was, “No, we have more than we know what to do with now.” “But you will look at them, won’t you?” was asked, and the result was, that upon examine tion the verdict was, **Yes, we will take those, for we can sell them.” And so they were disposed of, a littie in ad- vance of the regular price, though real- ly no better, but put up in an attractive manner.

This case~fully illustrates what would be the case in nearly every in- stance if farmers would only practice a similar course. Farmers must learo to actior their best interests if they would sneceed. — Germantown Tele-

Boiled Green Peas.

To each 3 gallon of water small teaspoonful of moist sugar 1 heaped tablespoonful of salt. This delicious vegetable, to be eaten ia per-

fection, should be young, and not gathered or shelled long before it is dressed. Sheli the peas, wash them

well in cold water, and drain them; then put them into a saucespan with pienty of fast boiling water, to which salt and moist sugar have been added in the ubove proportion ; let them boil quickly overa brisk fire with the lid of the saucepan uncovered, and be careful that the smoke does not drawin. When tender, pour them into a cullender ; put them into a hot vegetable-dish, and quite in the centre of the peas, place a piece of butter, the size of a walnnt. Many cooks boil a small bunch of mint, with the peas, or garnish them with it, by boiling a few sprigs in a saucespan by themselves, Should the poas be very old, and difficult to boil a good color, a Very ‘ay piece of soda may be thrown in (he watcr, previous to putting them in;
