Variety op Chops.?There is perhaps nothing that would tend more to advance our agriculture than a general disposition among farmers to diversify their industry by enlarging th? N>f their crops. There ^ | ( '^1 ~I ? 1* ^ u r u J-I..4 , 1 direction,* anditis a Twins" easy to adil to tlu assortment of farm nroduets. either hv in. trodueing commodities that arc entirely new, or by reviving and improving the cul turo of some that have been comparative!) neglected. Every new commodity that far mers can successfully raise and prufitabl) sell, tends to diminish the uncertainty ol their business, and to increase the average profit. It also diminishes the liability to injurious competition, and by adding to the rcsoprccs of the farm makes the owner a more independent man. Mixed husbandry is undoubtedly, as a rule, the surest and safest system to follow, and in the long run the most profitable. Special farming is always more or less hazardous, as the increased risk involved in it is usually out of all proportion to the prospective gain. The great point of difference between the two systems may be very briefly stated. Speeia) farming is a game ot chance ; mixed husbandry is a game of skill. The man who devotes his acres mainly to one or two crops, runs thcgauntlet of so many chances that he becomes rather a speculator than a farmer. Hut he who pursues intelligently a system of general farming, including a varied assortment ol products, plants his business oil a broad foundation, and has the chances of success nearly all in his favor. Among the products of agriculture can always be found various articles of utility and value that are only occasionally raised by farmers, but which, if the market price were a little higher, or the cost of producing them a little less, could be at once widely and prjfitably cultivated, and farmers would gladly avail themselves of the opportunities if p.icjs were a matter in their control. Now, in reference to such articles of production as these, although it may bo true enough that the pftduccr cannot always determine the market price, yet it is equally true, and even more important, that In; can ill mane pnsna ilo vvliiii ic still better, ho can reduce the cost of production, oiul this, in the end. is a gain lor the public as well as fur the farmer. If, by thus reducing the cost, he suceeo Is in securing for his new product a fair and remunerative profit at current prices, he rises at once to the position of a successful man and a public benefactor, for lie establishes a new line of industry, and extends the boundaries of his vocation. Again, whenever a new and important use is discovered for any id' the regular produets of the farm sufficient to materially increase the demand for it in the general market, this gives at once an additional value to such commodity, and adds another source of profit to the regular business of the I'arui.? Station Record. - A distressing accident is thus chronicled in a Wisconsin journal : "A sad accident happened to the family of John Kldcrkiu, on Main street, yesterday. One of his children was run over by a market wagon three years old with sore eyes and pantalets on that never spoke afterwards." - Sow Oats.?Spring Oats put in by the middle of this month will save much corn. Philadelphia's 11.vt-Killku.--A grny-haired little uian, a dug ol' no particular breed and less beauty, savo in the amiable wag of bis tail, and a box strapped across the little man's back?these three items filled the bill of a rat-catching concern that slowly coursed its way down Columbia avenue on Saturday. lie had followed rat-catching for many years, the old man said?how many he didn't then recall?and he had been successful in his work. In the stables -at Seventh and Washington avenue he had cleaned out 1117 rats in ouo day. It was a common occurrence for hiui to get seventy-live out ol a house, and olleu he had captured over a hundred in stores, drain stores arc especially proliGc of rats. The box containing ferrets and the dog that trotted so demure ly behind were important adjuncts of the business. There were fuur ferrets in the box.? Those he had owued several years, having obtained them from the captain of a schooner sailing between this country and Liverpool. A peep into an opening made for ventilation satisfied the reporter as to what kind of "varmint" a ferret is. Ho has a long body, which is thin and supple, as though boneless. The neck is long, and tapers down to a head with a very sharp snout. The. eyes are small and red, hence the expression, "As ted as a ferret's eyes." The owner said that these had become so well domesticated that they could be bandied without fear. "How do I goto work?" Well, I examine a house, carefully ascertaining where the rat holes are 'L'Kou ow.i ntl but too ot these I place a net with small meshes. The ferret is put into a hole, and that is iuitnetll'ifolv (biUiU'ibl wif It ? iinf T llwiti cf of inn discriminated instinctively between tlie wandering reprobate, whose presence in the neighborhood was disagreeable, it' not dangerous, and the substantial citizen out for a walk or a drive.

Although kindly treated by a relative of his former owner, he grew moping and despondent, lie would sometimes run down the road to meet an approaching team, and look up anxiously at those in it, as if expecting to see a wellj known face. When spoken to in a pitying ono, or patted and caressed, lie would turn up his mild eyes with a mute appealing glance, and his tail would wag in a hopeless, forlorn way. At length it became evident that the dog's brain was affected. Was he crazed by grief, or was be in the imbecility of old ago '! The writer is inclined to the former opinion. At any rate it was judged host to kill him, and a single bullet put an | end to the life and the wretche iikv>s of poor I l.e It.? I Vorii/i iii'f /oitrmtf.

It is strange that one can read the advertisement and not see the ca'ch. It gives a j cut of a fine large llible, and it also doI scribes one worth 1 and then states : "In order to introduce our llibles, we agree, upon the receipt of 7.") cents, to pay the postage and other expenses, to send any reader of this paper a copy of the Holy j j l>iblc."

Whatever else might bo effected by the resolution was secondary aud merely incidental to this one cardinal object.? found prosperity must rest upon a sound basis, and real money is Mumj currency. To rcsutno by the existing system is as idle as to bail water by a sieve. Pupor notes are an essential auxiliary to coin, but they arc not coin, not money, but swstitutcs for it. Their acceptance must ob fcmutd on their credit aud on their conveoicncc, aud must always bo voluntary in order to be safe. When au evidence of debt is made _ i ? i,._ ? ?r i tuni|?uiauijf iuiiuui hi |mjuiuiii u? utui, the great law of honesty and of money, that value is to be given for value, is broken.? Senator Bayard then referred to the moneypower, of which so much fear is expressed by the opponents of the resolution and to the great accumulation of property, and said that unequal distribution of property is attributable more to the use of inconvertible paper money than to anything else.? Jefferson said : uTho breaking up of the m :asuro of value makes a lottery of all private property." It was a fruitful source of demagogism. Iu referring to judicial decisions as to greenbacks, he said that he considered the construction of tbo Constitution by the Supreme Court, resting the power to issno logal-tendcr notes upon the existence of some great cuiergrbcj^r which Congress is the judge, to bo alarming aud dangerous. It made the Constitution weakest where it should be strongest iu the hour of danger. lie saw no guarantee that greenbacks would not from time to time be inflated in tbo future as they had been in the past. He combated Senator Cole's argument that to withdraw the legal-tender power from greenbacks was to question the validity of the public debt, and said tlie notes never were anything but an evidence of debt. To offer to pay the debt was a novel way of questioning its validity.

While it is dormant lie would end its existence. The present prosperous time is favorable for permanent resumption.. Unless the present measure is adopte 1. the financial law, that bad money will drive out good money, will operate to the extent of the amount of our paper circulation by arresting the .absorption of imported gold into our currency.? The withdrawal of the legal tender power could injure no man, nor lessen the value of the notes in the hands of any holder, because an equivalent lor the face value is offered in gold and silver coin in case any creditor refuses to accept the notes, lie showed that the endowment of government notes with legal tender power had never prevented their depreciation ./hen natural causes tended to produce it. In this connection he spoke of the Weaver bill as one commentary on the foregoing remark, and said if it were just to pay soldicrsthc difference in value between United States notes and coin, it was just to pay it to every one who bad been obliged to take them. This would require an incredible issue of paper. The present Congress might not yield to these solicitations, but on the threshold we l Mimuu meet aim defeat all such and fatal schemes. Whether Hie Senate would now concur 111 ins views ITT; know not, for measures like this hud never been and never would be made by him the subject of party caucus or personal canvass for votes, but he believed that the good sense of the people would support his views. Skvkuk PltormtTS.?An interesting record is that of severe droughts as far back as the landing of the Pilgrims. "IIow many thousand times arc observations made like the following; "Such a cold season!" "Such a hot season !" "Such dry weather!" or "such wet weather !" Such high winds or caluis !" etc. All those that think the dry spell we had last spring was the longest ever known, will do ypll to read the following : In the summer of 1G21, 21 days in succession without rain.

A ? iicii OIUVIVII myself with the dog at the only hole left open. I am armed with a club, which takes heavy part in tho business should the rats become too numerous for the dog. It is hurd'y more than five minutes before a rat bounces out of tho uncovered hole, and tho dog receives him in his mouth. Tho ferret, after having been through the house, works out himself, and leaves hardly any rats behind. "I never use tho same ferret twice in succession," ho explained, "and that is the reason I carry lour of them. They become tired, and, if used too often, stop to rest, and. therefore, time is lost." He did nut know what became of the rats, as ho never took them himself. It seemed remarkable, but a rat had never been ' known to turn on a ferret, the rat seeming to recognize the ferret as his enemy and al, ways getting out of the way just as fast as possible. Contests in close quarters between i a rat and ferret had invariably resulted in a victory for the ferret, for with all the uirnbleness of the rat, the ferret is the most active and takes the rodent by the throat.before ho is aware of such a near approach. While the old man talked he thrust his hand in the box and cmoinr his nets with o ^ r# out the slightest fear of being bitten by tlieni, and said to the reporter that in his own room h 2 gave the little ycllow-coatcd fellows perfect freedom. "It is not," he stated, "an unusual occurence for persons to have them about the house, and is a matter of some surprise to him that such was not more frequently the rule, as it was a certain preventive against rats and mice. The ferret is fond of blood, and it is this thirst that gives him such an excellent /.est in the hunt for rats. If any one should owu a male ihoI ' '""n uv,uiiv niPy are tnc possessors of a large 1 number. They are well known lor their fecundity, producing as many as two litters in one year. They eat raw meat, and the fresher it is the better they like it, having an excellent relish for the taste of blood.? So strong is this developed in them that ' care has to be taken not to let them get among chickens, for they would kill and suck the blood from a dozen chickens in a night." The little old man, who gives this information, has been able to make a comfoitable living by following the calling of a ratcatcher, and when not otherwise employed it keeps him busy dividing his attention, as equally as possible, between the dog and ferrets, for there is intense jealousy between these members of-that household.?J'/tif. 1!> cunt. ? . ? . . ?

Dash was not ugly in disposition, and he - * * * A Cat as a Mkdium.?Some of our readers may already have seen the following, but it is so good we con not resist giving it: A bashful young peasant was greatly captivated by the charms of a pretty girl in his own station of life, llo was exceedingly anxious to ask her to uiarry him, and had a often resolved to do so, but so far his courage had always failed him when tin opportunity arrived. However, one night lie resolved* to hear his fate in spite of his modesty, so ho started oft' to spend the evening with her. Wlicu he arrived to his joy her parents were from home, and she was seated knitting ut the kitchcu lire, with a large grey cat lying at her feet. Jamie sat down beside her, but not a word could he say till at the end of half an hour he inwardly resolved to "finish his business so acting on a "happy thought," he placed the cat upon his knee, and stauicrcd out: "l'ussy, ask Lizzie will she marry uao?" Lizzie blushed and smiled, but managed to say : "Pussy, tell Jamie Pll take hiui." - An Iowa Enoch Akokn.?Enoch Ardeu has been outdone in Council lllulls, Iowa. Some time prior to the war a young couple met and loved. After a short courtship they were married and lived happily together. When the war broko out the husband shouldered a uiusket in defense of his country. Letters cauio regularly lor a lime, and then ceased. Wora was sent home that he had been taken prisoner, and soon after, the dread news came that he was dead. The news was considered so authentic that the government allowed the widow aud her children a pension. After a reasonable time she listened to the pleadings of another suitor and married him.? The second husband proved to be a worthless drunkard, and she got a divorce 011 the ground of intemp ranee. Not content with her bad luck, sh ; concluded to marry again, her third being even a worse failure than her second husband. After the third had abandoned his home, the first husband unexpectedly turned up aud resumed his responsibilities. MoiiAr.rrv not Kkmwiox.?llev.

The astonishing discovery has Been made by an e ..incut philologist of Hitrope, Dr. lludolph Falk, that the Progenitor of the human race, lather Adam, was an American, and he has really communicated the result of his researches to a newspaper of Vienna, llev. Joseph Wilder, 1). 1)., pastor of the L'nion Congregational Church, Brooklyn, says he can secno reason why Adam should tut have been an American. Thc<|uestion whether Adam was a Vankee or a Southerner seems not to be definitely settled, llio' the hypothesis alleged to be, is in favor of his being a Southern man. Dr. Fall; says that he lias always argued that Noah's Ark was built in South America, and that it floated away from West to Fast, about six thousand miles; and that Charleston is in a direct line with Mount Arrarat,u fortiori Adam may have been placed in the garden of Ivleu on the American continent. How vain are the speculations of finite mortals ! Tiik Cost of Papkk.? It may not be uninteresting to neyvspaper readers to learn that the price of print paper lias advanced nearly lilty per cent, in the last two months. This item of expense in getting out a n -\vspaper is a very large one, and with the advance in price, alluded to, added, the cost to the publisher of each paper issued is probably as much as it sells for. Newspaper readers and patrons need nut expect publishers, under these circumstances, to continue to furnish papers at the low prices that now exist. Prices of subscription must advance, which is the proper way ot meeting the situation ; and in case they do patrons should not grumble. .V merchant may increase or lower the prices on his goi ds to meet a rising or falling market.? .Newspaper publishers hardly ever increase Llieir prices to patrons, hut when such a ma erial rise in the cost of paper takes place is that now in existence we do not see how hey can help (loin;.1; so.?Athtnhi J\>st.
