Hard of Hearing. C A Young Jonthan once courted the daughter of sm old man who lived "down east," who professed to be de(#oent in bearing, as the sequel a will- show. It was a stormy night in the Ides, r bF March, if I mistake not, when lightning and loud peals of thunder answering thunder, that Jonathan sat by theoOld man's fireside, discussing with the old lady (his intended moth. er in law) on the expediency of ask ing the old man's permission to mar ry Sal. Jonathan rceolved to "pop it" to the old man the next day. Night passes, and by the dawn of another day the old man was found in the barn lot feeding his pigs, and Jona than resolved to ask for Sal. Scarce a minute elapsed after Jpn athan made his resolution ere be bid the old man good morning. Now Jonathan's heart beat; now he scrat ched his head, and ever and anon gave birth to a pensive yawn. Jona than declared that he had as lief take thii-ty nine stripes as to ask him. But, said he aloud to himself, how ever, here goes it, a faint heart nev er won a fair girl and addressed the old man thus. I say, old man, I want to marry your daughter. Old man-You want to borrow my balter. I would loan it to you, Jon tban, but my son has taken it and one off to the mill. Jonathan--putting his mointh close to the old man's car, and speaking in deafening tone-I have got five hundred pounds of money. Old nman-S:epping back, as if greatly alarmed, and exclaiming in a voice of surprise-You have got live hiundred pounds of honey, Jona- L thai Whby it is more than t he w hole nieighborhood has use for. Jonathan.-not yet the victim of despair, and putting his mouth close to the old man's ear, bawled out-I've got gold. Old man-so have I, Jonathan, and its the worst cold I ever had in my1 life. So say ing ho sneezed a "wash up." By this time the old lady came up and observing Jonat han's unfortu nte luck, she put her mouth to the old man's ear and screamed like a wounded Yahoo: Daddy, 1 say daddy, you don't un de stand. lie want's to marry our daugh ter'. Old man-I told him our' calf halt er wvas gone. Old lady-WVby, daddy, you don't understand; he's got gold-ho's rich. Old man-lIIe's got a cold and the itch, eb? Whbat is lhe doing here with the itqb, So saying the old man aimed a blow at Joniothan's head with his cane-but happily for Jonathan, he dodged it. Nor did the rage of the old man stop at this, but with angry countenance, he made after Jonathan whbo look to his heels. Nor did his ill luck stop here. lie had not got ouit of the barnyard, nor far from the o2 inan, ere ho stubbed his too and fell to the ground, and before the old man could "take up" lie stumbled over Jonathanii and fell sprawling in a muud hole. Jonathan sp)run)g to his heels, and with the speed of John Gilpin, cleared himself. Poor Sal! she died a nun. Never had no husband. Disinherited and Imprisoned. The Rev. Mr. Murp)hy, pastor of the old Mariners' Church, at Cather ine and Oliver streets, relates this story: A poor sailor wvas drunk in the stree recently. A woman mis sionary of the chuch induced him to accompany her to the Mariners' church, where a prayer raeeting was in p)rogress. Uie took a seat near the door. The missionary said that lhe was drunk, but she w ished him to be permitted to remain. The services seemed to sober him, and he wept. 'The woman talked arid p)rayed with him, and he was converted, lHe then said that be was the son of a German count, and had deserted from the Gersnan army, su bsequently sinking to the position of a dissolute sailor. A'ter ble conversion he wrote to his finther, *buo in reply told him to come hioeand all should be forgiven. He wont back ta Germany. IIis,narenta velcomed bit and proposed a ballip elebration Wf -his Ourn. 11e, told ls father that he had become a )hristian and disapproved of dancing lie parents were displeased by that, n1d told, lin thatbe inust reuonou is religion or be disenherited. He aplied then that he would give up myting but tbat. The father there ore had him arrested as a deserter rom the trmy, and he is now Im )risoned near lierlin., Spring 04. It fall sown oats have been killed )ut by cold, sow over again, or, if you did not sow enough then, put in more now. Don't sow spring oats on poor land-tnless you are willing to manure them well. A good ap plication of stable manure, or cotton seed meal, or the crushed seed (500 pounds per acre,) will iure a fair crop-so will 100 pounds nitrate soda applied as a top dressing the latter part of March. It any of the phos phates are used, the most highly ammoniated will he best-but none of them are as highly ammoniated as thoy ought to he for a grain crop they are arranged to suit the wants >f cotton, not gi ain. Peruvian gn ina and cotton seed are much better idapted to the latter. CLOVER AND GRASS. From the 15th February to the [5th March, is the time to sow clov 'Ir and winter grasses, whether upon mall grain or by themselves. We repeat advice often given, sow plenty A seed-clover 15 pounds per acre, )rchard grass two bushels, Hords and i1ue grass one bushei each. Clover md orchard arass make a good COM )ilation, as they are ready to mow t the same time. Elegant pastures f blue grass can bo made at the outh, by thinning out the pmes ni old fields, w~here the soil is natur1 illy strong and stiff, burning off, saw ing seed and lightly aa'rrou ing them in. It may be done either in spring r fall. None of the cultivated gras ses grow well on poor land-they te. quire a soil as rich as that required to make good wheat. A Rhode Island man has written a lecture entitled, " Whomn Shall 1 Marry?" It is a fine work, but so tar as we are able to see, holds to the old opinion that, after all, there is n)othing' better tha a woman for a man to marry. Some of' the Connecticut farmers report tho ground full or fat looking potato bugs a few inches below the CRISTAD)ORO'S HAIR DYE. Cristadoro's Hair Dye is the SAFEST and BEST; it acts Instantaneously, producing the most naturi shades of Black or Brown; does NOT STAIN the SKIN, and is easily applied. [t, is a standard preparation, and a favorite upon every wvell appointed Toilet for Lady or G~entleman. Sold by Druggists. J. CISTADORtO, P. O. Box, 1538. New York.

L877 NEW YORK. 1877 The different editions of TIE SUN during the next. year will be the same as during the year that. has passed. The daily edition will )n week days be a sheet of four pages, and on Sundays a sheet ot eight pages, or 66 broad :olumns; while the weekly edition will be a sleet of eight pages of the same dimensions ind character that 4ro already familiar to our "riends. The Sun will continue to be the strenuous ldvocate of reform and retrenchment, and of the subs1itution of statesmanship, wisdom, Ind integrity for hollow pretence, imbecility, rind fraud in the adlminstration of public af, fairs. It will contendl for the government of thie people by the people and for the people, Sisrosed to government by frauds in the ballot box and in the counting of votes, en, 'orced by military violence. It will endeavor to supply its readers-a body now not far from a million of souls-withI the most care ful, complete, and t trustworty accounts of cur. rent events, and will employ for this purpose a numerous and carefully selected staff of re port ers and correspondents. its reports from Washington, especially, will be full, accurate, and fearless; and it will doubtless continue to deserve and enjoy the hatred o.f those who thrive by plundlering the Treasury or by usurping what. the law does not give them, while it. wdil endeavor to merit the confidence of the public hy elefending the rig hts of the p)eople against the encroachmients of unjust i tied power. The price of the daily Sun will be 55 cents a month or $6~ 50 a year, post paid, or with the Sunday edition $7 70 a year. The Sundaiy edition alone, eight pages, $1 20 a year, post paidl. The Weekly Sun, eight pages of 56 broad columns will be furnished during 1877 at the rate of 31 a ycar, post paid. The benctit of this large reduction from the previous rate for The Weekly can be enjoyed by individual subscribers without the neces sity of making up clubs. At the same time, if any of our friends choose to aid in extend ing our circulat ion, we shall be grateful to them, and every such person who sends us ten or more subscribers from one place will be entitled to one copy of the paper for himself without charge. At one dollar a year, post age paid, the expenses of paper and printing are barely repaid; and, considering the size of the sheet and the quality of its contents, we are confident the people will consider The Weekly Sun the cheapest newspaper publish.. ed in the world, and we trust also one of the very best.
