Iptttflfflus gtpjtawat. A-GOOD ANECDOTE. Judge , of Baltimore, is an able and a pious man. He knows for what the island of Jamaica is chiefly celebrated, and thinks with Lord Byron, tnat "the two things most consolatory to fallen men are rum and true religion." Disdaining to imbibe perpendicularly in bar-rooms, he keeps a demijohn of concealed Otard in his office, and there slakes his thirst as inclination prompts. The judge has a son who knows his father's habits, and emulates them with filial assiduity. On a Sunday morning the judge would say : "Well, Rufus, going to the'First Presbyterian with me this morning ?" "No, father, I reckon I'll go down to the Second Methodist." But on his way to that edifice, Rufus uniformly stopped at the office, unlocked the old gentleman's private closet, and indulged himself with pleasant fluid. Every Sunday morning the Judge repeated his laudable inquiry, but Rufus preferred the Second Methodist. The Judge flnnn hp wan to notice a marked diminution in the contents of the demijohn, and rightly suspected who was the culprit. The Judge OQ&ptied the remaining liquid into another vessel and placed it in a secluded place. Next Sunday morning came the usual interrogatory. "Going with me this morning, Rufus?" "No father, I reckon I'll stick to the Second Methodist." On reaching the office and taking hold of the demijon, he not only saw with disgust the empty jug, but noticed a small piece of white paper attached to the handle, on which was legibly inscribed these words: "Second Methodist closed for repairs!" After church father and son met, and looking curiously at each other, smiled a little smile, but said nothing. The "repairs" on that Methodist building have not yet been completed. So Rufus avers. A Joke on "the Court."?A short time ago, a lawyer, who rejoices in a large share of work-house patronage, came into the city court drunk. His Honor addressed him thus: "Sir, I am sorry to see you in that situation. It is a disgrace to yourself and the profession to whicn you belong." "Did your Honor speak to me ?" "Yes, sir. I said that in my opinion you are a disgrace to yourself and your profession." "May it please your Honor, I have practiced in this court ever since you have pro temporized in that seat: and permit me to say, your Honor, this is the first correct (pinion I ever knew you to give." , In less than an hour from that time, ; Airman was nickincr rocks at the corpora r o * tion nursery. A dutchman who in a fit of passion was swearing terribly, was reproved by a church deacon, who chanced to overhear him. ""Why do you swear so, Hans?" said the deacon; "don't you know that it is very wicked ?" "Yaw, I know it pese wicked." "Do you know," said the deacon, anxious to sound the depth of his religious teaching, "do you know who died to save sinners?" "Yaw," said Hans, "Cot died to save em. "Hot God, exactly, Hans, but the Son of God." "So!" exclaimed Hans, a new light breaking in upon him, "vos it one of de poys ? I tinks all the vile it was do old man." California Style.?Not. long since a German was riding along Sansome street, near Sacramento, when he heard a pistol shot behind him, and heard the whizzing of a ball near him, and felt his hat shake. He turned and saw a man with?a revolver in his hand, and took off his hat and found a fresh-bullet hole in it. "Did you shoot at me ?" asked the German. "Yes," replied the other party, "that's my horse; it was stoknfrom me recently." "You must be mistaken," said the German ; I have owned the horse for three traara " J " "Well," said the other, "when I come to look at him, I believe I am mistaken. Excuse me, sir; won't you take a drink?" J?"* A native of the Green Isle of Erin called at a chemist's with a prescription, the preparatioq of which he watched with considerable curiosity. . "What's that, any way ?" finally asked the customer. "This," said the obliging apothecary, "is tincture cemicitage racemosa, and liniment of saponis. cantharides and opii." A look of bewilderment changed to one of grave concern, as the Irishman made the inquiry: "And what is the price ?" "Sixpence," was the reply. "Be jabers," said Pat, much relieved, "I thought two such names as that would cost me at least five shillings." Dan Rice's Last.?Dan Rice remitted, in settlement of an account with a newspaper out West, a three-dollar bill which was returned endorsed, "This note is counterfeit : please send another." It was two months before Dan replied, when he apologized for the delay, saying he had Been unable until now^. "to get another counterfeit three-dollar bill," but he hoped the one he now enclosed would suit, professing, at the same time, his inability to discover what the objection was to the other, which he A1 A t- A- ?

Didn't Want It.?The following is the only instance on record where a mem, ber of the profession was known to decline the acceptance of a fee in hand: "I have nothing but my heart to give you," said a spinster to a lawyer who had concluded a suit for her. "Well," said the lawyer, gruffly, "go to my clerk?he takes the fees." JKgT* Little Jimmie, only about ten years old, was standing on the steps of his father's store, smoking a cigar. A gentleman passing, asked him with surprise : "Why, Jim, when did you learn to smoke?" "Oh," said the child coolly, taking the cigar between his fingers, "when I was a little feller." fiST* A chap out West, who had been severely afflicted with the palpitation of the heart, says he found instant relief by the application of another palpitating heart to the part affected. * / got tbc flamr (jJMr. THE BIRD OF TWO SONG8. I was standing in the garden with a stranger one cloudy, chilly, unsummer-like afternoon in June. Near us was a large clump of lilac bushes, into which ye saw a bird of a dingy, faded, black color fly. Presently she broke out into what, perhaps she called a song; but it was in reality, just like the flat squalling of an old cat. "Yaah ? yaah!" she continued to cry. "Pray," said the stranger, "what bird is that making such a horrible noise ?" "That, sir, is the cat-bird." "I should think so, and a burnt cat, too ! I thought it was homely enough to the eye, but the color is nothing to this screech." "I can't say much at present to defend the poor bird, for looks and voice are against her. Put I am confident you will think better of her ere long." The next morning I found my friend standing in the piazza, listening to the notes of a bird in a thick sugar-maple near by. The song was that of a mocking-bird, pot so wonderful as the notes of the real mocking-bird, nor even so sweet as that of the thrush^ yet they were round and full and often exquisite. She seemed to repeat the note of every bird with which she was acquainted, robin, sparrow, oriole, and the like, and with surprising accuracy. The morning was fair, the air still, and the bird seemed to be swallowed up in song. % "Pray tell me," said my stranger friend, "what bird is that which sings so delightfully ? It is not quite the thrush." "That, sir, is our cat-bird." * "You must bo making fun of me. You don't pretend to say that the homely, squalling bird we heard yesterday, and this singer are the same ?" : "I do truly, and to convince you I will throw a stone into the tree and drive her i out, and you sKh.ll see it is the same bird." With that I threw the stone, and out : popped Mrs. Cat-bird, making directly for the lilacs, where she began again to scream, ' "Yaah ! yaah !" < The gentleman looked on in amazement. <4This bird," said I, "is very much like some i people. In those lilacs she has her nest, ' and that is her home; but there she never utters a pleasant note. I should think her husband would avoid her, and her little ' ones tremble at the sound of her voice. But when she gets away from home up in the i lofty tree, you see her agreeable as she can i be, and how sweetly she sings. We know ] many people just like her. When away ; they are full of smiles and gentle ways, i and they seem among the most agreeable i people in tne world. JBut see tnem at nome : j and the cat-bird's notes are theirs. They < contrive to make home just as unpleasant 1 as possible?-to themselves, to their children, ) and to every body that happens to see them 1 at home." { "0, yes," said the stranger, "I know 1 scores of such people, some fathers and \ mothers, so easily pleased, smiling and < pleasant away from home, but the moment 1 they enter their own doors, every ray of < cheeerfulness fades out, and they are cold, 1 silent and repulsive. And some young la- < dies, I am sorry to say, are so lively, ? cheerful, obliging, and happy when away < from home, that one would think they were i uncommonly lovely; while at home they are discontented, disrepectful to parents, coarse, and unlovely. So with children I know many like our cat-bird with her two songs, lively, cheerful, and well-bred among strangers; but the moment they get home, they are rude, disobedient, rough and ill-tempered. What is the reason why people do so ?" BELIEVING, BUT NCTT UNDERSTANDING. "I will not believe anything but what I understand," said a self-confident young man in a hotel one day. "Nor will I," said another. "Neither will I" chimed in a third. "Gentlemen," said one well known to me, who was on a journey, and who sat close by, "do 1 understand you correctly, that .you will not believe anything that you don't understand!" "I will not," said one, and so said each one of the trio. "Well," said the stranger, "in my ride this morning I saw some geese in a field eating grass ; do you believe that ?" "Certainly," said the three unbelievers. "I also see the pigs eating grass ; do you believe that ?" Ck/^iP " rtrti/1 \Jl UUUIOU) oaiu. tuv; iui^? "And I also saw sheep and cows eating grass; do you believe that ?" "Of course," was again replied. "Well, but the grass which they had formerly eaten had, by digestion, turned to feathers on the backs of the geese, to bristles on the backs of the swine, to wool on the sheep, and on the cows it had turned to hair; do you believe that, gentlemen ?" "Certainly," they replied. "Yes, you believe it," he rejoined, "but do you undrstand it ?" They were confounded and silent, and evidently ashamed, as they well might be. PEACE IN A FAMILY. Peace is essential to the welfare, character and happiness of the family. It is, therefore important, that every member should know how to secure it. We give a few counsels on the subject: 1. Remember that our will is likely to be crossed every day, so prepare for it. 2. Every body in the house has an evil nature, as well as ourselves, and, therefore, we are not to expect too much. 3. Look on every member of the family, as one for whom we should have a care. 4. When any good happens to any one, rejoice in it. 5. When inclined to give an angry answer, "overcome evil with good." 6. If from sickness, pain or infirmity, we feel irritable, keep a strict watch over ourselves. 7. Observe when others are suffering, and drop a word of kindness and sympathy suited to them. 8. Watch the little opportunities of pleasing, and put little annoyances out of the way. OSumility.?See how in the fanning of 3 wheat, the fullest and greatest grains lie ever the lowest; and the lightest take up the highest place. It is not otherwise in morality.; those which are most humble are fullest of grace; and oftimcs those are the most conspicuous which have the least substance. To affect obscurity or submission, is base and suspicious; but the man whose modesty presents him mean to his own eyes, and lowly to others, is commonly, secretly rich in virtue. Give me rather a lto fullness, than an empty advancement. ?fLeighton. j Agricultural frpartmrnt. CULTIVATE A LITTLE WELL. Dr. George B. Loring, the popular Presi- ( dent of the New England Agricultural So- < ciety, made some pointed remarks in a re- J cent agricultural address. On the subjeot j of small farms, the Doctor said: "I have an idea that the business of , farming in the next generation, will be i brought under as accurate laws sa the business of running an engine or woolen mill, or making steam engines, or carrying on j any of the mechanical arts with which we t are acquainted. I am satisfied that the ) loose system of agriculture will be abolished before the youngest man in this room j dies. I am satisfied that the business of farming will be systematised so that every ' man will f#??l he has something behind him I besides accident, to guide him in the business of carrying on his farm. Iiet us see; * there are men here in this roora who are s owners of large farms, two hundred, three , hundred or five hundred acres of land, who e are carrying them on for the purpose of ( getting a living and endeavoring to reap ] from the soil, from these large tracts of land, a competency for themselves and their families. They are proceeding in their business of farming just as their fathers did. They raise a little corn and a few potatoes, ' own a cow or two, and now and then a few cattle, raise considerable grass, make some > butter, a little cheese, now and then sell a can of milk, and a few apples with a little cider thrown in perhaps. That its the oldfashioned business of New England farming. Take a farm of five hundred acres of that description and what is the percentage upon the general average cost of the land here in New England ? It given a man's family a good living, clothes his children; there is a school within his neighborhood and he sends them to it; he carries himself well through the community, is elected a representative, or selectman, or town clerk, ' and he is a good citizen any way, because he owns land and can't help being a good citizen, pays his taxes, does well, has a good farm house; everybody says,'There is a good farm and a respectable farmer lives on it.' "The other side illustrates that nice careful business of New England farming to which I have alluded. I know a man in lUnoan/ikncata mlin in 1 RR/i Knncrllf. t.WPTlf.V LUaDOUVUUOVVOj nuv ?u avs/v ??| VM?^ icres of land. He has applied to it all the iccurate knowledge of farming he could ^ possibly get. There is no montli in the pear that something does not bloom on his farm ; but through the snows of January ! and the suns of August there is something . green there, and he always from the first ' of January to the last day of December, has some crop to send to market. Twenty acres of land is all he has, and you walk through it, and you find his alternate orops growing in rows just as accurately as the iveb and warp of a cotton mill goes through the loom?carefully, accurately and properly?what is the result? From 1835 until this time, that man has made #250,000 off of his farm of 20 acres. He has saved his money and invested it carefully ; he has educated his boys well, kept himself in good condition, has made his #250,000, and has done it by that careful, accurate, systematic farming of which I have spoken. His land happened to be in a good locality, near a ' market, but he might have devoted himself l to just the same farming that a man does J on 500 acres, could he not ? Don't you h know many a little farm house in Is'ew Eng- 1 land, surrounded by twenty acres of land t and a few apple trees, or two or three hard a looking peach trees, with a few starved j cabbages in one corner of the grouod, with c a cow coming up to be milked with, a small c bag ? That man could have done so with s his twenty acres just as easy as with 500 6 acres. Ho didn't choose to do it, but he 1 applied^ himself with care and system and accuracy, and has made just as real a fortune off his land, as the man who has made 85,000,000 out of a cotton mill in the last five years. That is the business of New England farming. There is no illegal farming, no illegitimate farming, no careless farming that will apply to New England. You cannot conceive of such a thing." Salt in Fattening Swine.?A corres- ! pondent states some interesting experiments to test the use of salt in fattening ] swine. He selected two pairs of barrow hogs weighing one hundred pounds each, j One pair received with their daily allow- J ance of feed two ounces of salt, the other 1 pair similarly fed, none. In the course of < a week, it was easily seen that the salted pair had a much stronger appetite than the others, and after a fortnight, it was increased two ounces each. After four months, J the. weight of the salted hogs was three i hundred and fifty pounds each, while that of the unsalted, five weeks later, reached , only three hundred pounds. The experiment ] was repeated with almost the same result. ] A correspondent feeds young pigs accor- ] ding to their age, a quarter of an ounce daily ; to breeding sows, very little during pregnancy; and in the heat of summer, withholds it in a degree from all, as it induces thirst and liability to disease.?Exchange. 1 Tiie Milch Cow.?So far from trying j to see how little food we can subsist a milch cow on, the object should be to see how ' much we can make her eat. The cow should ( be regarded as a machine for the manufac- i ture of milk. Feed, therefore, so as to ] sharpen the appetite and induce the animal , to cat freely. If you have a long row to feed, put a small forkful before the first, and so cn to each as you go along. By the time you get to the end, the first may have eaten all up clean, and be waiting for more. Begin the same way and go around again, and again if necessary. Put a large feeding before a cow at once, and it would not be eaten with half the relish, and some of it might be left.?Massachusetts Ploughman. Southern Agriculture.?Under the old plantation system in the Southern States, there was little improvement in agriculture, and very few agricultural societies existed. Since the war terminated, and free labor is encouraged, the people are advising the establishment of these societies to meet the changed conditions in the system of labor. If the South depends on her agriculture, as she will to a large extent, there must be more science and intelligence applied to the cultivation of the soil. Under the old system, the land became poorer and poorer; and, as Governor Wise said, "they had to to chase stub-tailed steers . over fields of broom-sedge for a tougli beef- f steak." a - ?

The solvency S( iof of the Company is certified to by the Court Ofn- w rn cere of Nelson county, Virginia, and is commend- n 2. ed to those who desire to support a "Home Instior tution. J. A. McLEAN, At the store of J. A E. B. Stowe. J5 THE OBJECT ai Of this Company is to insure Lira?not indeed y f ' to Drolonar life?but bv navine a certain sum to the d beneficiaries of a policy when you die?thereby to o: ai continue the exertions, investments and benefits at of your life to your dependent*, after your life is er terminated. However yvell prepared a man may be in asplritual point of view to meet tho "king of terrors," ? ? if he be possessed of a thonghtfol mind and a feel- -P ing heart, he can bat look with sad forebodings to n that finale of his earthly career which is to deprive J a his fond wife and helpless children of thatsupport 9 and festering care which his arm has funusned. b He shudders as his mental gaze looks within the gloomy portals of the grave and leaves behind those whom he loved, as vagrants roamingthe , friendless, thorny paths of public charity! Yet, ? alas! how many ao it!! when a small present out- ? j toy would gild their troublous road with ease and a Si comfort, if spent in a Life Insurance Policy. Reader, are yon not liable to this sad death-bed reflection of the unseen trials you bequeath those you 2 leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection " which we now urge upon you? If your mind j were easy on this subject; irypu could feel when 113 you "shuffle off this mortal oofl" your fhmily P1 . were provided for. you would be relieved of the " L car king anxiety that fills every worthy mind at 7 such fcarp; you would be better- prepared to pursue your?avocation with mental composure and ? zeal. We do not mean to assert that money canflU ry the place of a fond fether, yet we do assert, what you know to be true?money will prove their best c earthly friend when you are gone; and yon can _ L leave them this certain friend now while you are rj ' living. -7 J Can you?will you refuse it ? " Businessmen are considered rather improvident 9 who do not insure their goods and booses against ^ flro. Now, your house may never be burned?it may stand a hundred years; but your life cannot j* ? last so long?your "lamp of life " must bum out some day. You argue It is prudent to insure a- * gainst uncertain misfortunes to your property t and ~ yet neglect a certain event which vriU ana must ?! come to your body. Is this consistent wisdom and ? . prudence? We admit and assert the prudence of f ^ the first, but assort the greater wisdom and neees- u sily for the last. Ask yourself the question, are a you doing right to neglect this opportunity to pro- a vide effectually for your family in case of^our * death, while you have it in your power? And ? bear in mind,?now, this moment may be yonr last ? S, chance?death is after yon! When once his "rug- M 5 ged scythe shall clip tho brittle thread, of life," the p ghastly panorama of want and suffering will be o. pehed to tho sighing hearts you took care qf while n you lived. Remember! only while in health?be- * fore age, with attendant diseases come upon you? T. before yon begin to loiter in sad sickness on. the ? J j verge of the grave?only while living?mentally ? ana physically living?can you obtain a Life Insu- D ranee Policy. Life Is a vast battle-field?death is f always the final victor?and while we do not urge 11 ? tliis process will disarm him of his sting, (Ibr reu- ? gion only can do that) yet it will soothe your, heav- ? fng bosom to know you have provided for yonr family before that trying hour oomes. By having ? your life insured you "disarm the stjng" ofpover- t ) ty and want to them.
