Iflfitf John Thompson's Daughter. The following clever parody ouCainpbell's ballad of "Lord Ullin's Daughter," is taken from a Virginia paper: A fellow near Kentucky clime, Cries, " Boatman, do not tarry, And I'll give thee a silver dime, To row us o'er the ferry." 44 Now who would cross the Ohio, This dark and storinv water ?" 441 am this young lady's beau, And tin's John Thompson's daughter. 44 We're fled before her father's spite With great preeipitation, And should lie fnid us here to-night, I'd lose inv reputation. ' They've missed the girl and puree beside, His horsemen bard have pressed me; And who will cheer my honney bride, If yet they shall arrest mc?" Out spoke the boatman then in time, "You shall not fail, don't fear it; I'll go, not for your silver dime, But lbr your manly spirit. 4' And by my word, the honney bird. In danger shall not tarry, For though a storm is coining on, ril row you o'er the lorry." lly thi.s the wind more fiercely rose, The bout was :it Hie landing. And with the drenching rain their clothes (hew wet where they were standing. But still, as wilder rose the wind, And as the night grew diveivr, Just back n piece came the police, Their tramping sounded nearer. "O haste thee, haste!" the lady cries, " It's anything hut funny ; I'll leave the light of loving eyes, But not my father's money!" And still they hurried in the face, Of wind and rain unsparing; John Thompso n reached the landing place, IBs wrath was turned to swearing. For by the lightning's angry flash, Ilis child he did discover ; One lovely hand held all his cash. And one was round her lover! '"Coinc back, come hack," he cried in woe, Across the stormy water : "But leave the purse! and you may go, My laughter, O my daughter." "l'was vain ; they reached the other shore, (Such dooms the Futes assign us,) The gold he'd piled went with his child, And he was left there minus. 'iVtit Mil Jkuiur. From the Portland (Maine) Advertiser Courtship. After my sleigh-ride last winter, and the slippery triek I was served liy J'alt) Bean, nobody would suspect mo ot'hankering jitter the women again in n hurry. To hear me curse anil swear, and rail out against the whole feminine gender, you would have taken it for granted that I should never as much as look at one of them again to all eternity. '>, hut I was wicked. Darn and blast their eyefj says T. Blaine their skins; torment their hearts, and darn them to dsrnation.? Finally 1 took an oath, and swore that if I ever meddled or had any dealings with them again,(in the sparking time I mean,) I wished I might be hung and clioaked. But swearing off from women, and then going into a meeting-house, chock full of gals, all shining and glistening in their Siindav clothes. ami cloini fiicsa is lit-.. swearing oft' from liquor and going into a grog shop. It's all smoke. I held out, and kept firm to luy ontli for three whole Sundays. * Forenoons, afternoons and intermissions complete.? On the fourth, there*were strong symptoms of ? change of weather! A chap, about my size,was seen 011 the way to the meetinghouse, with a new patent hat on; his head hung l>y the ears upon a shirt collar; his cravet had a peddling in it,and branched out in frout, into a double bow knot. lie carried a straight back and stiff neck, as a man ought to when he has bis host clothes on; and every time ho spit, he sprung body forward, like a jack knife, in order to shoot clear of the ruftles. Squire Jones' pew is next but two to mine, and when 1 stand up to prayers,and take my coat-tail under my arm, and turn my back to til? minister, Inatnrjtlly look right straight at Sally Jones. Now Sally has got a lace not to bo grinned at in a fog. Indeed, as regards beauty, some folks think sho cau pull au even yoke with Patty Bean. For iny part, I think there is not much boot between tlieii. Any how they are so nigh matched that they Iiuve hated and despised cncli other, like rank poison, ever |lnc0 tliey were school girls. Squire Jones had got his evening fire on, and set himself down ta reading the great bible, when he beard a rap at his door. "Walk in?Well, John, iiow der dol 'Wit out I*on)j>cy.

Being roused from a doase by the bustle and racket, he opened both h;.s eyes at first w ith wonder and astonishI incut. At last he began to halloo so load, ; that you might hear liitn for a mile, for ho takes it for granted that every hotly is l just exactly as deaf as ho is. "Who is it f I say, who iu the world is | it ?" Mrs. Jones, going close to his ear, I streamed out, "it's Johnny Boodle." "JIo, | Johnny Ueotlle. 1 remember he was one summer at the siege of Boston.*' "No, no, father, bless your heart, that was bis j grandfather, that's been dead and gone these twenty years." "Ho, but where | does lie come from 1" " Down toawn." | "Ho, and what docs he follow for a livin'f" And he did not stop making questions af tor this sort till all the particulars of the Bccdle family were published and proclaimed in Mrs. Jones' last screech. He then sank back into bis doze again. The dog stretched himself before one andiron ; the cat squat down before the i other. Silence eanio on by degreoc, like ! a calm snow storm, till nothing was beard 1 but a cricket uudcr the hearth, keeping I tune with a sappy yellow birch forestiek. Sally sat up priin, as if she were pinned to the chair back ; her bands crossed genI teelly upon lier lap, and licr eyes looking 1 straight into the lire. Mammy Jones tried : to straighten herself too, and laid Iter bands across in her lap. Hut they would not lay still. It was full twenty-four hours since they had done an\ work, and they ! were out of all patience with keeping i Sunday. Po what she would io keep . them quiet, they would bounce up now and then, and go through the motions, in spite of the fourth commandment. For i my part, I sat looking very much like a ! fool. The more 1 tried to say something, i the more my tongue stuck fast. 1 put my I right leg over the left and said "hem." j Then I changed, and put the left over the | right. It was no use; the silence kept i coming on thicker and thicker. The j drops of sweat began to erawl all over me. I got my eye upon my hat, hanging on a peg, on the road to the door, and then I eyed the door. At this moment the old Captain all at once sung out "Johnny Hoodie!" It sounded like a clap of thunder, aud I started right up end. "Johnny lUodle, you'll never handle sich a drumstick as your father did, if yer live to the ago of Methusnler. Ho would toss up his drumstick, and while it was whirlin' in the air, take of a gill er rum, and t^,uu Votd* it It 001*10 iic?*ii out loosin' a strok in the tune.

Say, now, d'ye j want to marry, or only to court This was what 1 called a chonker.? , Poor Sally made but one jump, and lamb ' od in the middle of the kitchen: and then j she skulked in the dark corner, till the old ' man after laughing himself into u whooping COHgh, was put to bed. j Then came apples and cider, and, the I ice being broke, plenty chat with mammy J Jones about the minister and the Gannon.' II agreed with her to a nicety, upon all the ) points of doctrine: but I bad forgot tbe text and all the heads of the discourse Lot six. Then sin1 teased and tormented nie, | to toll who I accounted the best singer in the gallery that day. Hut mum; there was no getting that out of nie. "Praise 1 to the face is olten disgrace," says I, throwI ing a My squint at Sally. At last, Mrs. Jones lighted t'other can' die, and after charging Sally to look well to the lire, she led the way to lied and the I squire gathered up his shoes and stockings, ' and followed. 1 Sailv :ind T wpiv left slUinur & iwm/1 i-ur/1 j e> "B~?J I apart, honest measure. For fear of getting tongue-tied again I set right in with 1 a steady stream of talk. I told her all the particulars about the weather that was past; and also inado some pretty cute guesses at what it was like to l>o in future. At first, I gavo a hitch up with my chair at every full stop. Then growing saucy, 1 repeated it at every comma, and semicolin; at last it was hitch, hitch, hitch, and planted myself fast by the side of her. j "I rwow, Sally, you looked so plageuy i handsome to-day, that I wanted to cat you up." "l'shaw, git along you," sayssho. My hand had crept along, somehow, upon its fingers,and I began to scrape acquaintance with hor's. She sent it home again, with a desperate jerk. 41 Try it again ;" no better luck. "Why Miss Jones, you're gotten' upstro|*ilous?a little old maid ish J guess." "Hands off, is fair play, Mr. Ueedlo." i It is a good sign to find a girl sulky. 1 knew where the shoe pinched. It was ! tiiut nri?

ISho fetched mo a slap in the face that inadcjne see stars and my cars rung like a brass kettle for a quarter of an hour. T was forced to laugh at the joko though out of the wrong side of my mouth, which gave my face something the look of a gridiron. The battle now began in the regular way. "Ah, Sally, give mo a kiss, and ha' done with it now." u I wont, so there' ! nor tech to." "I'll take it,whether or no." "Do if you dare." And at it we wont, rough and tumblo. An odd destruction of starch now commenced. The bow ot my cravet was squat up in a half a shako. At the next hour, smash wont shirt collar, j and at the same time, some of the head | fastenings gave way, and down came Sally's hair in a flood, like a null-dam broke loose, carrying away half a dozen combs, t )ne dig of Sally's elbow, and my blooming rallies wilted down to a dish-cloth. 13lit she had no time to boast. Soon her necktackling began t'? shiver. It parted at i the throat, and whorali, came n whole | school of blue and white beads, scamper; ing and running races every way about the floor.

She fought fail however, I must own, and neither tried to : bite nor scratch ; and when she could i light 110 longer, for want of breath, she yielded handsomely, ller arms fell down by her sides, her head back over her chair, | her eyes closed, and there lay her little plump mouth, nil in the air.

After the heap has lain a month or two, it must bo carenilly turned and mixed. "For the Apple, no better compost than the abovo can be found, adding to every cart-load a bushel of liino when ashes alone are used. For the Pear add a bushel of broken bones nncl a bushel of ashes.

In a late nninher of tho Cultivator 1 I 1 notice a letter asking for advice with regard li to what kind of food may be substituted j . j ill tho place of corn, for hors?--?, which . | inquiry I will proceed to answer. Last j (! year being an unfavorable year for corn in oursoction, our crops were shorter than j ' they had been for years, in consequence of ' which, this present year I have had to , resort to other food to feed mv horses on. ; Oats is tho best food for horses that 1 have over tried, corn not excepted. 1 have been j ' feeding inv mules on them for three i j weeks, without any com or fodder, and I , expect to continue feeding in that w ay I , until I gather mv corn. My mules do . actually improve on them; they arc in j better order than they were before my corn ^ give out. The way L manage with my * oats is this : I cut them before they are full ripe, whenlhey begin to turn yellow. I then lot them euro in tin1 field, ami i afterwards haul them in, and liavo large boxes in my lot, which 1 fill with them, but previous to filling,! have them cut in fine pieces, straw and brads together.
