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.

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. "IVtfy u.ll 1

, me iu mind that I liad been off soundings
several times, iu tho long maddylane;
i aim 111 v l>wu> ?crc 111 a sweet pickle.
ll was now old Captain Jones' turn, the
' grandfather. 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

die; you're a'terour Sal. 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.

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

without opposition, but mannged to slip

no satisfying mo, so I must go to poking
out my li]>s alter a buss. 1 guess 1 rued
it. 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.
I 11 y the hokev, if Sally .Tones is'nt real
grit, there's no snakes. 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. Lord ! did
i ye ever see a hawk pounce upon a robin \
?a bumble-bee upon a clover-top ? 1 say
nothing.
Consarn it, how a buss will crack,of n
j still, frosty night! Mrs. Jones was about
halt way between asleep ami awake:
i "There goes my yeast bottle," sai<l she tc
herself, "burst into twenty hundred
; pieces, and my bread is all dough again.''
! The upshot of the matter is, 1 fell in love
with Sally Jones, head over ears. Keen
! Sunday night, rain or shine, finds mo rap

times have 1 becu within a hair's breadth
of popping the question. I'ut now I have
made a final resolve; and if 1 live until

Tho Orchard.?Our friend Thomas
' Affleck, Esq., a distinguished hortieultu,
rist of Washington, Miss., gives tho folt
lowing excellent directions for the making
laud application of sjwcial manures to frui!
trees:
"In preparing composts for fruit trees,
the swamp muck or leaf maid may be dug
, out, and laid up in oblong beds, alternating
a foot in depth of muck or tnonld, with
: a layer of half an inch of wood ashes; or,
! near the sai-eoiisl mWiliilinw alx.1i I
burnt on a log heap, bo ha to include a
share of ashes, and slaking the shells by a
liberal soaking with salt water. If inten(loci
for very poor sandy land, a few inches
of manuro may lie added to each layer
| with advantage; if poor, and at some time
a clayey soil, add more manure. 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. For the Plain and Qninet, add I
to tliecart load, if none was included be- 11
fdre, half a bushel of lime and a peek of *
salt. For tlio CrujK vine, half a bushel of lime,
a bushel of ashes, and n half bushel ]
of plaster. For the Peach, Nectar in and
Cheery, add to every cart load ol the
compost, a bushel of fresh or two bushels
of leached ashes. For the Fiy and the
Orat'.yc, a bushel of broken^bones, and
two of crushed charcoal. These last, tho
bones and the charcoal, arc excellent for
all fruit trees. For the Plum, in sandy

of couq>ost should be mixed an equal quantity
of strong loam or clay. And this }

with advantage?adding a dressing of
sharp sand to stiff soil, and of clay or stiff
loam to sandy land. On the sea-coast,
supplies of fish and of sea-weed can

Food for Horses?Oats vs. Corn.
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.
