"A Little Land Well Tillod." Farmers are liable to err in cultivating too much land. They make their calcu lations to sow and plant so many acres, without taking into account the quantity of manure they have to apply, or the amount of labor they can bestow. 'T1his not only subjects them to much haste and inconvenience, but their crops are not cultivated as they otherwise would be, and the land is not left in so good a condition when it is laid down to grass. There is still greater folly 66 the part of some, in the desi- increase their estates by the p noe- Iind, when their sys idilion should admonish had better sell than buy. orth doing is worth doing ,hould be the motto of far -formance, of all their work. .'weli cultivated, is better a half cultivated.

Brown bread is the best' occasional food at breakfast that can be taken; nature never intended that glorious husk, which envelopes the wheaten grain, to be thrown 'here M~acbeth wisely recommends phy sto. be sent.-Laugh as loud as you caand as frequently as possible. De pression of spirits, besides its immediate effect on the nervous system, deranges the respiration, and mar-s the proper oxy genation and circulation of the blood, causing diminished vitality, arnd leading to consumption. Avoid all aurticles of food when decomposcd; a love for putrid game is the vilest instance of morbid tastes.

IRISH MACHINE POETA-Y. Jemn Dolgb married old Judy Rouse Och she was a charming young bride; With turf he then built a brick house, And the front door was on the back side. The roof it was tiled with straw, The clar was on the first floor, And the chimiey, in order to draw, Was built just outside the door. A beggar was Teddy Malone, Ilis sister was his only brother! le had nothing at all of his own, Except what belonged to his mother. One night Teddy says to the squire, I'm so cold, give me something to eat, I'm so dry, let me set by the fire, And sohungry, I must warm my feet. "Och! honey," 'one day says Pat Twigg, For he was a scandalous glutton, " To-morrow I'll kill myfat pig, For I'msuie he'll naakb ilegant mutton." So then he'gocs into thoh6~v41, And hangs the pig up ly the heel, So nate out his throat with a shovel, Saying this is the way to dress veal! One day Paddy Mulligan swore He had sealted his mouth to a blister, While at dinnei the morning before "And what was it wid ?" asked his sister. Says Paddy, "just thry for to guess!"

The boy took his siation, and the man mounted and rode along; but when he came op posite the corner; and the boy jumped out' and cried "booh 1" the colt threw hini off.

If you won't then there'(noe harm done, added the other, reluctantly pulling the bottle of water from his pock. et and handing it over, it was quickly emptiedl into the cask. There wasn't much harm done to the lhndlord, that's a fact, for although rummey had had tlis bottle of gin, the same niumber of pints werue drawn from the cask.

" Yes," replied the thief, "and I sup pose you'd stay up there and see me break my back lifting, before you would offer to come down and help me?'

There once lived 'in .a small town in Massachusetts an oldIndian woman. Somehow or other the old woman had accumulated quite a desirable little pro. perty. Yet she was.*z-iIndian, and was treated with cool'cont6npt by her neigh. bors. She had not set in the social cir cle, received no attention from those around her, occupied a back pew in the church, and down towards the grave she travelled, without fiend or comforter. Old Nance had but one relative living that she know of, and he a wild, grace less son. He was the terror of the vil lage, and spent his time in any thig. a respectable way. At last the vaga1 so worried the forbearance of his mother, that in a hasty moment she re solved to disinherit him and leave her mon ey to the church. Accordingly she started for the house of one of the deacons, and made a clean breast of her troubles, and acquaipi~l' him with her determination. The deacon grew from a cool to a very amiable mood as she proceeded, and at least became profuse in his expressions of gratitude. 'Tlin'wili,':thiiougli the agency of the deacon, sva awn ; but the old woman, feeling a litleOmpunction had a clause inserted which should make it void, pro 'vided the son should totally-reform his habits. 'Secrecy was enjoined upon the deacon, who -of - drse tod1'nobody but his wife;who'ofcourse said.n6thing about it save to ond -'r two'fiiends,' who of course sproiad it allor t he illage in the space o re.gay.

This is a somewhat curious circumstance, and the following~ instance in point which oc curred recentlyin Philadelphia, shows off, to a certiniegree, the success of'liose who pursue this course for a liveliho'od: A shabby-genteel dandyfied looking individual, stepping' into a hotel, a few evenings ago, where was congregated a tolerable crowvd, of. loungers, called for a plate of stewed oysters. Boniface replied that he had none stewed, but if the geni leman would wait, lhe would soon pre pare some. "Oh, no," answered the individual, "PIll take 'em raw." Accordingly the critters was placed upon a dish before him, and after cooly helping himself to about half a pound of crackers and a like abundance of the seasoning ingredients, lie proceeded to devour the oysters with a hearty gusto. Sarcely, however, had he commenced his onslaught, wvhen a huge rat came bound ing along the counter, kicking the vine gar from the plate in its passage, into the faee of mine host, and bespattering the bosom of our hero with the same sour comn mdity. Away leaped the frightened lit tle creature off the opposite end of the counter, effecting its egress through a back door, and away flew the landlord and loafers in hot pursuit,'leaving the un known customer alone in the bar-room, to discuss the remainder of his crackers and oysters. But after a temporary absence they returned, each one boasting of the prximity of the fugitive rat, but none claiming the honor ,of having 'actually hamed it. They had' scarcely seated themselves before out rushed another large specimen of th at family, f..om the snmn i rrein. ind off rushed.the.assembled crowd again, determined not to be frustrated this time.
