TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN.
BY AU()L'S?.TS B. KN-,WLTON .
It was in 1790.
Among the operas which at that time
were Ihu rage in Franco, Germany and
England, was Duni's ''Laitiero," or
Milkmaid.
This little play bears throughout the
stump of extravagant uuivctc: every
thing in it and about it is naive, hycr
nuive?tho milkmaid, who builds uir
c.'.sties upon ltcr itilk-puil, und then, in
a imune tit of abstraction, permits the
foundation of her hopes to (all from her
head?the enamored huntsman, who
withes for nothing more than s>nic day
to shoot a heir, whoso skin, he is eon
viuocd, will insure to hiin a future, care
and sorrow free?and the bear, who,
to crown the wishes of the lovers, liu
ally permits ffrimoll' to be disposed of,
without rcalstanco. The huntsman
shoots?tho boat falls to tho gV-uud ?
the victor seats himself upon the b.idy
of li.j victim and Slugs :
'?Hurrah, hurrah! how glorious cuds the
fray?
Tue bear has lost?the hunter's wen ti.o
day!"
Etc., etc , etc.
The "Milkmaid" was at last brought
out iu London, a.id had soon outlive 1 a
dozen representations. The eharmrug
music, till) naive couplets; were iu every
body's mouth.
Uuo nioruing the tupe who had tin
honor of playing the boar, was called
upon by a young gcutluiiiuu clad iu the
height of the fashion.
"You are Mr. Top pic ton ?" in-tuired
the visitor.
'?At your service, sir."
"You j lay the Lear in this evening's
opera
?I do. sir."
"Mr. TopplelOU, 1 have a faV >r t.. ask

"I .-hull bo happy to oblige ym '." -
"Will you resign ^luir role to mo for

?'Yo.t wish tu??"
'?I wish to uiaUo my debut i:: your

((iu that case, sir, you t;iu>: present
your demand to the manager."
"That is just what I wish to avoid,
and thuruforo I have, come directly to
you."
jryu ivu.h oo aware, sir, thai 1 !
cannot resign my rule to a stranger with
out the couscut of tho manager. Reside,
I don't know whether?"
"Whether I aui com potent to under
take the part, you wore about to observe.
As to ti nt, you may bo sure that I shall
not disgrace either yo irsclf or the
"Bear." 1 have seven times SCeti you

Prize Ess.ty on Leaks on a Farm,
nud iluw to 3to<> Them.
"In presenting tj your consideration
Leaks on a rann. I find thorn so nutlie- |
rous that I shall only point out those
that are most to be dreaded by the
Farmer, and, in so doing, shall condense
my I s iv as much as possible.
The first leak is that of impel I ? I
horses and mules, (such as are unfit for
n thorough preparation of the soil, as
turning, subsoiling and cultivation,)
with such in making ono crop the Farm
or will make an alarming Leak. Again,
pair oif the sorr)' stock, including yokes
ol oxen, and attach them by pairs to
hoiisaml pou nils to each team, an j wTHit
a Leak ih'v will make even in twelve
months, compared with a tsum drawing
e. 1 hi , u Ii and red pounds,
lo stop the above leaks care should
be takeu i.: making selections of stock ?
pay 11 i ? difference between toe good and
th ? sorry?and there will not be any
trouble in getting the difference hack in
making one crop.
Another Leak is caused by kccp'ng
bad and scrubby breeds id' stock. A
few uf tin- results L will allude to. For
instance ttie differcuce bet ween tho rnilk
iug of .t eow giving four gallons oi milk
per day. ao.l one only giving u galluu
aud a hall". Think, also, of a hog at
lilt"' a m uths old weithin;: three hun
dred ami fifty pounds. And yet tho
stock may have the same food and treat
An '.. r Leak is caused by tho farm
er 11 ?'. raising his own btock. If the
Farm r buys all of his horses and mules,
eat. !-- and meal?to say nothing of other
stock ?it will produce a heavy drain
1 j a his surplus lu ds.
To j ri'vent this Leak, wo should pre
pare ? .0 ?ws lor horses, -cattle and
