Erasing Jltafrmg. J6T" Stopping for a day or two at a village a short way from Boston, Jeems went to a barber's shop to get shaved. On entering, and casting his eyes about the room, he perceived that the barber drove a double trade, of tonsor and small grocer. "Shave, sir?" said the barber to the customer, whose face sufficiently indicated the object of his visit. Jecmes made no reply, but drawing himself up to a lofty height, proceeded, in his attorney fashion, to interrogate the barber as follows: "Sir, are you the barber?" "Vcs, sir; have a shave ?" " Aud do you also keep this oyster cellar ?" "Yes, sir; have aDy oysters?" "Well, sir, this occupation of yours, gives rise to the most horrible suspicions. It is a serious thing, sir, to submit one's head to the manipulation of a stranger; but if you can answer a couple of questions to my satisfaction, I should like to be shaved." The barber said he would try. - ? 1_ ..K "Well, sir," said Jeems, soiemniy, "uu you shave with your oyster knife ?" "No, sir," said the barber, smiling. "One question more," continued the interrogate^ "and remember that you are under oath, or rather recollect that this is a serious business?[the barber started]?one qucstiou more : do you ever open oysters with your razor ?" "No, sir!" exclaimed the barber indignantly, amid a roar of laughter from the bystanders. "Then shave me," said Jeemes, throwing himself into the chair, and untying his neck cloth with the air of a man who has unshaken confidence in human nature. The True Mahomedan Spirit.?Acertain good natured old Vermont farmer, preserved his constant good nature, let what would turn up. One day, while the black tongne prevailed in that State, one of his men came in, bringing the news that one of his red oxen was dead. "Ishe?" said the old man ; "well, he always was a breechy cuss. Take off bis hide and carry it down to Fletcher's, it will bring the cash." An hour or two afterwards, the man came back with the news, that "line back" and his mate were both dead. "Are they?" said the old man ; well, I took them from B to save a bad debt, that I never expected to get. It is lucky that it aint the brindles. Take the hides down to Fletcher's, they will biingthe cash ?" After the lapse of an hour, the man carac back again, to inform him that the nigh brindle was dead. "Is he?" said the old man, "well, he was a very old ox. Take off his hide, and take it down to Fletcher's ; it is worth more than any two of the others." Hereupon, his wife, who was a very pious soul, taking upon herself the office of Eliphaz, reprimanded her husband severely, and asked him if he was not aware that his loss was a judgment from heaven, upon his wickedness. "Is it ?" said the old fellow; "well if they take judgment in cattle, it is the easiest way I can pay them." No Use for Trowsers.?On the morning of the meteoric shower in 1833, old Peyton Roberts, who intended making an early start to his work, got up in the midst of the display. On going to his door, he saw with amazement, the sky lighted up with the falling meteors, and he concluded at once the world was on fire, and that the day of judgment had come. He stood for a moment gazing in speechless terror at the scene, and lion tpifli a roll nf horror snrnnor out of the door into the yard, right into the midst of the falling stars, and there in his efforts to dodge them he commenced a series of ground tumbling, that would have done honor to a ropo dancer. His wife being awakened in the meantime, and seeing old Peyton jumping aud skippingabout the yard called out to him to know what in the name of sense, he was doin' out thar dancin' round without his clothes. But Peyton heard not?the judement and long back account he would have to settle, made him heedless of all terrestrial things, and his wife by this time becoming alarmed at his behavior, sprang out of bed, and running to the door shrieked at the top of her lungs? 'Peyton, I say, Peyton, what do you mean, jumpin' about out that ? Come in and put your trowsers on.' 'Trowsers, Peggy, what the h?H's the use of trowsers when the world's a fire ?" An old negro preacher in Alabama, of the Methodist persuasion, had cherished the bitterest dislike for Mississippi ever since it repudiated its debts. On one bright Sabbath morniog, when addressing a large cbonv audience in Alabama, he showed, by the following exhortation, that in spite of his devotional appearance, he was subject to the influence of worldly passions. Having under consideration that portion ot .Scripture promising that the Gospel shall be preached to all the nations of the earth, he said : "My beluved bruthrio, now is the cicepted time!

The Reason for Lioiit Silk Dresses. ?'Maria,' said a lady to her colored chambermaid, 'that is the third silk dress you have worn since you came to me ; pray how many do you own?' 'Only seven, miss; but I's savin my wages to buy anoder.'? 'Seven ! Why, /don't own so many as that.' 'Spects not, Miss,' said the smiling darkey, 'you doesn't need 'em so much as I does. You see you quality white folks everybody is quality; but we better-most kind ob cullud pussens has to dress smart to 'stinguish ourselves from common niggers.' So, critics, who denounce the present extravagant style of dress, be lenient! And, when the paraphcrnilia of hoops and flounces, silks, velvets and laces is very astounding, think: Well, poor things! they must do something to 'stinguish themselves from common folks. .4?*Doesticks, the unique, amusing contributor to the Detroit Advertiser, has invented a new medicine. It is called, "-Doestick's j Patent Self-Acting Four Horse Power Bal- j sam." He says it is designed to cure all | diseases of the mind, body or estate, to give ; | strength to the weak, money to the poor, boots | l to the bare footed, decency to blackguards, j common sense to Know Nothings, and white wash to Black Republicans. It acts philo! sophically, morally, mentally, psychologically, and it is calculated to make our sublunary sphere a blissful paradise. How the Devil Lost.?The following is too good to be lost. We clip it from an exchange paper, and respectly call attention to it of certain persons who feel disposed to spread in the newspaper line: A youog man who ardently desired wealth was visited by the Satanic majesty, who tempted him to promise his soul for eternity, ; if he could be supplied on this earth with all the money he could use. The bargain was concluded, the devil was to supply the money 1 - 1 iL - | and was at last to nave tne soui, ume-s mc I young man could spend more money than : the devil could furnish. Years passed away i ?the man married, was extravagant in his i living, built palaces, speculated widely? lost and gave away fortunes, and yet bis coffers were always full. He turned politician, and bribed his way to power and fame, without reducing his "pile" of gold. He became a "filibuster," and fitted out ships and armies, but bis banker honored all his drafts. He went to St. Paul to live, and paid the usual rates of interest for all the money he could borrow, but though the devil made wry faces when he came to pay the bills, yet they were all paid. One expedient after another failed?the devil counted the time, only two years that he must wait for the soul, and mocked the efforts of the despairing man. One more trial was resolved upon?the man started a newspaper ! The devil growled at the bills at the end of the first quarter, was savage in six months, melancholy in nine, and broke, "dead broke" at the end of the year. So the newspaper went down, and the soul was saved. Do as I Did ?The other morning a celebrated fast man from the West end, entered a refreshment saloon, where some fifteen or twenty of his friends are in the habit of congregating, about eleven o'clock. He, with his usual heartiness and generosity, J tasked the crowd to smile '; they, nottnug loth, stepped up. "Youmustall do as I do," said the liberal friend. -'Oh certainly, certainly," was the universal response, "what is your's going to be ?" "I shall take brandy and water for mine." "Very well, we'll all take braody and water," they cried The party drank, and the waggish inviter laid tlowu his fip upon the counter, and immediately retired, whispering in his softest tones. "Do as T do, gentlemen." The party looked at each other a a moment, with a most comic expression of face, when one, who felt the full force of the idea creeping powerfully through his hair, exclaimed, "Sold I" "Here," he added turning to the bar-keeper, "take my pocket book, and treat freely for the next twenty minutes." An old woman who lived near the frontier during the last war with Great Britain, and possessed a marvelous propensity to learn the news, used frequently to make inquiries of soldiers. On one occassion she called to one of those defenders of our rights, whom she had frequently saluted before. " What's the news?" "Why, good woman," said he, "the Indians have fixed a crowbar under Lake Erie, and are going to turn it over and drown the world?" "Oh, mercy, what shall I do?" and away she ran to tell the neighbors of the danger, aDd inquire of her minister how such a calamity might be averted. "Why," said he, "you need not be alarmed?we have our Maker's promise that he will not again destroy the world by wa ter." " I know that," returned the old lady hastily, "but he's nothing to do with it, its those plaguy Indians." Flesh is Grass.?Bishop Hughes, in a sermon to his parishoners, repeated the quotation, that "All flesh is grass.'? The seasou was Lent, and a few days afterwards he encountered Terrence O'Collins, who appeared to have something on his mind. "The top of the mornin' to your riverence," said Terrence, "did I fairly under stand your riverence to say, 'All flesh is grass,' last Sunday ?" "To be sure you did," replied the bishop, and you are a heretic if you doubt." "Oh devil o' bit do I doubt anything your riverence says," said the wily Terrence; "but, if your riverence plases, I wish to know whether in this Lent time I could not be after having a piece of bafe, by the way j of a salad ?" Extraordinary Scientific Experiment}?The reporter of the Boston Traveler, while on his way to the Scientific Convention at Montreal, witnessed an experiment by one of the learned members of that body, which he describes thus: "We had a larcre body ? <sa\\ms' 0*1 the train; learned mi, wuo, iliough modest, could not cover the seicntific habit beneath av.; cl' of small I ;.w o;.e hirge, rcd-faced, burly gentleman perform an adro" J experiment at White river junction.

Peninsula, of the 5th, under the head "Accident," relates that "on Monday, of j thisweek, while Capt. Parkhil! was returning to his camp, from this place, the horse his ; servant (a strapping negro man) was riding, j took fright and threw the rider. The head j of the negro in his descent, struck the leg of , Capt. Parkhill's horse, breaking it, when it j (the negro's head) glanced and struck a tree , on the side of the road, peeling off the bark , for several feet. The negro was stupefied for 1 an instant, but received no injury! Fair Play.?Patrick went out to shoot an owl, but returned minus the bird "Why didn't you shoot him, Pat?" "Faix, how cud I ? Ivery time I'd go to slip up behind him, his eyes 'ud follow and niver a hit cud I git to his back. The snaik take the baste; I believe his eyes go clean through his head like glass windys !"

ADVICE TO YOUNG FARMERS. When the farm is located, before a blow j 1 is struck or any labor performed, it should j i be laid off into fields, of convenient size and i form, and if possible these fields should be ( separated by good fences. The first work j on the farm should be done by system, that | it be not lost, nor badly done. In dividing I the farm, care should be taken to observe all the natural divisions, such as high and | low ground, wet and dry, clay and loatn soils, I &c., where such exist. If the soil is all alike, then the division should be for conveA 1 a-tt ipot nionn UlUUL't; <1 LIU ^uuu uuituiu. ax nvu of ground, adjoining one high and dry, j ought to be separated from it, so the two j can be cultivated according to the require- | raents of each, so that the stock can be kept I on one when it is improper that it should go on the other. One of the objects of a proper division of the farm is, convenience. Any field can be used for pasture or meadow which may be chosen. Or stock can be kept for any length of time and then taken out. Any field can be fed early or late. The fall feed can be given to the stock or let rot upon the ground. Stock can be separated, the old from the youug, horses from cattle, sheep from allA change of pasture is often desirable. A j particular field should not be pastured too , long. There should be rotation in pastures s as well as rotation in crops. In broken j countries, where much of the land can be ? used only for pasturing, such a rotation can < not well be practiced; but in much of the , West every part of the farm is tillable, and ( a change of pasture becomes one part of good , farming. The fields should be arranged so ( as to be convenient to get from the.house ( and barn, as well as from some road. So far < as possible, it is desirable to have water in , every field, and gates or bars to make them , easy of ingress or egress. I The second object on a division of the ( farm is to facilitate tjootlfunnincj. To farm ( with no respect to the principle of rotation , of crups, is to farm at random. To plant j one piece of ground every year to corn; to j sow another as regularly to wheat; a third ( i.i oars; to use a fourth as meadow; a fifth to pasture, and so on to the end of the chap- t icr of crops, is one of the best ways to spoil { a farm nud have poor crops. So it is one of j the most successful ways to degrade agricul- , *"MA /?nf ottioll nrAfito Tf l'o Vinwf fn LUIC UUU u OlUUli pi'JUlO. XU ? WVCW vv y change crops every year. No matter if the | aoi! will produce the same crop for several ? year?. You arc weakening its productive , qualities. You are exhausting some of its ( elements. You are killiug when you ought , to be vitalizing it. If the young farmer will f begin right he will not only save, but im . prove his farm ; not only cultivate ir well, , but cultivate himself. Good farming re- j fleets back on the fanner. It does him good. | It affords a sort of school in which his pow- j ers ef mind may be trained. It is one of . the best schools of life, and always has and ( alway will turn out a class of noble uien. j A third object of the division of a farm, is, s it* value It increases the value of the farm. , It adds to its beauty and utility, makes it ( easier to cultivate and in many ways enhan- \ ces its value. The number of fields should t be as much as six or eight, besides the garden and orchard, which should be fenced by themselves. If all cannot be fenced at once, let the divisions be properly made and fence as fast as may be, one or two fields a year t till the work is completed It is best to be- f gin well. As Crocket says, "be sure you're f right then go ahead." c Glass Milk Pans.?A farmer in Ak- ^ roD.Ohio, has been experimenting with milk in glass pans. He says : 'I took the milk of the same cow, milked at the same time j and divided it equally, putting half in a glass pan, and half in a tin pan, and placed ^ theru side by side. In the first twenty-four hours, were two thunder showers; and at the ' end of that time, the milk in the tin pan was sour: that in the glass pan was sweet j and good. At the end of twelve hours more that in the tin pan was thick clabber, and that in the glass began to tur . From this y I believe glass pans will preserve milk one- t third longer than tin pans.' We believe r farmers are beginning to find this out, as we have heard of a number who were introducing glass instead of tin. We have referred y to tue superiority ot giass over tin ior ciairy j purposes, several times within the last year t or two. D Cure for Bots in Horses.?Drew's Rural Intelligencer says, an intelligent gentlemen of our acquaintance, who has for years been largely concerned in the manage- , mcnt of horses, called at the Rural office a . few weeks ago, to say that he knew by expc- ' rieticc, of a remedy for bots in horses, which P is sure to expel them from any one of the ^ race afflicted with those dangerous insects.

I saw a lifr!o girl With half uncovceed form And wondered why she wandered thu-\ Amid the winter storn ; Thev said her mother drank What took her sense away, And so she let her children go Hungry and cold all day. I saw them lead a man To prison for a crime, Where solitude and punishment And toil divide the time: And as they forced him through the gate, Unwillingly along, They told me 'twas Intemperance That made him d? the wrong. I saw a woman weep As if her heart would break? They said her husband drank too much Of what be slioul not take. I saw an unfrequented mound, Where weeds and brambles wane; They said no tear had fallen there; It was a drunkard's grave. They said these wore not all The risks that intemperate run, For there was danger lest the soul Be evermore undone. Water is very pure and sweet, And beautiful to her; And since it cannot do us harm, It is the drink for me. Infant Education. THE LIQUOR DEALERS.

"Will Mr. Frank Hamilton please honoi he company with a sentiment ?"?said th( air bride to one of the guests at her nuptia east, tyho was known to be astern opponeni >f wine drinking. She thought his gallantrj vould compel him to respond and drink tc he health of the lovely bride and her guests, "With pleasure," said Frank, fixing his sye upon the charmer, and holding it there, le said?"With true heart, I pledge you : lot in the fiery draught which guilt prepare? or folly, which biteth like a serpent and tingeth like an adder;?but in that bever D ' ge pure, which comcth down from heaven o bless and beautify?in bright, clear, spark' ing water." The effect was electric, and the temptress [uailed for a moment in her efforts to cause lim to taste the ruby wine, and thus open he way to its introduction at the festival.? 3ut recovering, she said; "Perhapsyou can't relish wine ?" "You are mistaken ; I do relish it; but 1 lave seen so many bad consequences resultng from its use, that on every occasion I tn o say, what I now say?"Get thee behind ae, Satan." "But just taste it?I'm sure it can do you I \J 11U1 Uii "So have thought many," said Frank, "who re at this moment writhing under its cruelies?who are weeping while you are laughig over it?who arc cursing while you are raisiug it."
