One day^ when tbe post-office was full, awaiting the distribution of the mail, a half-witted fellow stepped up to him in the crowd, and said: "Mr. S., I am told you have come here to practice law." "Yes, I have." "Well, you'll find it a first rate location. I hadn't lived here four months before I .was sued ten times."

I j should think a man of your learning would know enough to put it m a hog-trough, and then you could bore it easily." A hog trough being at hand the parson put the j mallet in it and bored it through with little . trouble.

OWKK ASfp TIGHT BABK9* " A Vermont farmer gives Bis* experience on tlMmtier.. H^sawtBe boiUift .common barn in 1840, finishing it with unseasoned hoards^ pot oh singly, and consequently the barn had many ventilators, as the cracks were neither small nor few. He soon learned that the hay mnst be Well cored before patting it into the barn, or it would heat, mould and sometimes spoil in die centre of the mow, while near the walls of the bun the hay was bright and good. He also learned that in leaving the barn doors open daring the hay season, as many fanners do, the hay next to the floor, especially near the door, looked like hay which had taken the storm and been badly washed. Another fact he learned from old farmers, that hay intended for the stack most be thoroughly cared, even more so than for the barn. * This same farmer built another barn in 1850, and made the walls tight as common doable boarding wonld make them. Now hear the resnlt. He says: "I have not, daring the sixteen years I have used this bam, had a panicle of mouldy or burnt hay exoept it was wet by storms and pat in before dry. 1 cart my hay much greener than formerly. I do hot hesitate to cart English hay that is sufficiently ripe, as soon as I can after it is cut, providea there is no dew or wet apon it when mowed.? My hay is relished better by the stock than that which is all dried np. If the grass is very green, or stout clover, I would prefer to let it stand in the cart over night bat think too mach drying injures the hav." He has often cat clover and herdsgrass that yielded more than two tons per acre in the forenoon and carted to the barn in the afternoon of the sameday, and itcame oat nice and bright in the spring. With the knowledge thus gained from his experience he comes to the conclusion that the less the air circulates through the mows, or the less exposed the hay is to the weather, the better for the hay, and the less liable it is to heat. He thinks that by cloa .1 J sine all cracks or avenues, trom toe wmas ana storms, what heat there may be in the bay is-equally disseminated, through the entire mass without injury to the hay; but if the hay be forced from the outside surface to the centre, the outside hay will be bright while the centre will be more or less [mured,?sometimes burnt and mouldy;? Maine State Pre**. WHEN TO BUY A FARM. Very few persons seem to know that the months of July and August are the best in the year in which to look for or purchase a farm. At this season one can judge whether the land can or does produce good crops, For if it is rich the waving grass and grain (nil be occular demonstration of the fact; md if there is, according to the sterotyped wsertion, "an abundance of choice fruit, it Mtn be seen at this time to the best advantage. The low lands will show whether they are really dry enough for pastures in Summer, and the upland its capacity for withstanding a dr9ught. Summer is also a very good time to view the never-failing spring and the trout pond lear by, and a draught from the one and a unch from the other are attractions which those who possess them seldom fail to bestow upon those who are likely to become purchasers. Even the weeds on a farm will assist a man in determining its value, "or if nothing but stunted ragweed and fiveinger are to be seen, then the land may be put down as poor indeed; but if burdocks ind catnip abound, it shows strength to to produce crops of a high order. The pasture and meadow, orchard and garden, all show what they are and what nay be expected of them in these months; >ut earlier or later the aspect of things nay change. In the Spring the trees have lot shown leaves, flowers or fruit; the roads ire muddy, if ever, and the distance from the railroad station to the farm appears nuch greater than it actually is, especially to a stranger. In Autumn the leaves are nminiT vpllnw. the errain has been erather "I O?# M O *d, ana the dry stable is all that remains, md the fruits are nearly gone, stilt the air s fresh and the landscape glowing with iutumn tints; but the valuable products of i farm, which are its products, are mainly >ut of sight, being stored in the barn or in ;he proprietor's pocket. Two Valuable Recipes.?Editor# Southern Cultivator:?Allow me to give you two aecipes that should be printed in letters of jold, and given to the public: Recipe for Cholic or Scours in Horses.? jive a half tumbler of spirits of camphor n a pint of warm water (cold will do); if lot relieved in 15 minutes repeat the dose, jive nothing else. I have never known it ail in a practice of 20 years. No after )ad effects. Hail in the Foot.?To relieve from the ;errible effects of running a nail in the foot >f man or horse, take peach leaves, bruise ;hem, apply to the wound, confine with mndage, and the cure is as if by magic. Henew the application twice a day, if necessary ; but one application usually does the work. I have cured both man and horse in i few hours, when they were apparently on cbe point of having the lock jaw. These recipes, remembered and practiced, will save many valuable lives. G. D. ' How to Grow Large Vegetables.? [t is hard for cultivators in general to save 3eed from their earliest berries or vegetables ; yet a vast increase of food may be obtained by managing judiciously, and jystematically carrying out for a time the principle of saving the earliest and best of ?ach crop. Take, for instance, a pea, plant it in rery rich ground; allow it to bear the first pear say a half a dozen pods only, remove ill others; save the largest single pea of these, sow it the next year, and retain of the produce three pods only; sow the largest on the following year, and retain a pod; select the largest again, and next jrear. The sort will by this time have trebled its size and weight. Ever afterward sow the largest seed; and by these means you will get peas, or anything else, of a size you could formerly have had no inception of. Weevils in Barns.?I have had the misfortune to be where weevils infested two barns. You could gather a quart measure of them in cleaning fifty bushels of wheat. They may be exterminated by thoroughly cleansing the barn out, sweeping off the joists and sprinkling good fresh lime plentifully all around. Correspondence Country Gentlemen. flit Circle. AT A TURNING POINT. As Thomas Bent was walking along the street one day, he saw a gentleman drop a purse upon the walk. Thomas quickly picked it up, slipped it very slyly into his pocket, ana walked on, saying to himself, "I'm a lucky fellow! This purse feels as if there was a good lot of money in it. Hurrah for Tom Bent!" Just then, the boy's conscience woke up" and whispered, "What are you going.to do with that purse I It is not yours. If you keep it, you will be a thief. Bemember the eighth commandment?'Thou shalt not steal.'" Thomas paused a moment to think. Then, with flashing eyes, he ran after the gentleman, and handing him the parse, said;' "If you please, sir, you dropped your purse. Here it is." "You are an honest hoy," Said the man, I as he took the parse, and smiling pleasant ly, handed him five shillings. rt Thomas walked home, deling happy indeed, as he had good reasdn to do. He had escaped a great danger. When he picked up that purse he was standing at a point where two roads met?one was the path of the thief, the other of the honest man. If he had kept the purse he would have entered the first path, and most likely have landed at last in prison ; by restoring it he entered the way of honesty and right. So ' yon see, he was at a turning point in his life, and he turned it safely. Happy Thos. Bent. Children, you now see what a.turning point is. Whenever you are mep by a strong temptation to do a wrong aot, you are at a turning point. Let the temptation conquer you, and you will find your selves in the wrong .road. Conquer the temptation, and your feet will stand in the right way. Look out for turning points. ONWARD AND UPWARD! Like the Roman braggart who sailed from Ostia to subjugate Britain, and re turned with no other trophies than a few shells gathered on its coast, many young men start in life with a great show of energy and a professed determination to conquer fortune, only to make a failure that contrasts ridiculously with their previous vaunts. - The world abounds with such shell-gatherer on the rocky shores that hedge in Persistent Effort's Dorado. Perseverance is what they lack. Their energy is short-winded: They climb a little way, and finding the ascent rough, fall back hishear tened. We recommend such weakhanded men to read the "Pilgrim's Progress," and lay its noble lessons to heart. It is, in most cases, as impossible to achieve wordly success as spiritual salvation without a vig orous, determined, and prolonged struggle for it. Buny&n's glorious allegory includes a useful temporal lesson in its religious one. "Whatever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might," whether it be to acquire a competence on earth, or to lay up treasures in heaven. The great fault of the young men of our day?and it has been the same in all other days we presume?is a want of capacity, or rather of inclination, , for continuous exertion. They are ener- , getic by spurts. When they meet withinexpected difficulties in one pursuit, they , are too apt to abandon it and try another. { This is impolitic as well as umanly. The last man to succeed in anything is the waverer. Christian was a persevering youth^ , Neither sloughs, nor wild beasts, nor gi- ( ants, nor fiends could drive him from the { path he had chosen. He had made up his mind to reach the City Beautiful, and he reached it? He did not stop to deliberate ( at Castle Dangerous; he defied Giant Des- , pair. Let the pilgrim of worldly indepen- , dence make that heaven-scaling youth his exemplar and guide. MABR1AGE MAXIMS. A good wife is the greatest earthly blessing. A man is what a wife makes him. It is the mother who moulds the character and destiny of the child. Make marriage a matter of moral judg- 1 ment. Marry intb a family which you have long known. Never talk at one another either alone J or in company. . ' Never both manifest anger at once. Never speak loud to one another, unless the house is on fire. 1 Never reflect on a past action, which was ( dnnA with a frood motive and with the best judgment at the time. Let each one strive to yield oftenest to ' the wishes of the other. ( Let self-obligation be the daily aim and ! effort of each. The very nearest-approach to domestic ' felicity on earth is in the mutual cultivation of an absolute unselfishness. ' Never find fault, unless it is perfectly certain that a fault has been committed; . and even then preclude it with a kiss and 1 lovingly. _ _ 1 Never taunt with a past mistake. Neglect the whole world besides, rather 1 than one another. ' Never allow a request to be repeated. ] "I forgot" is never an acceptable excuse. Never make a remark at the expense of the other. It is meanness. Never part for a day without loving words to thiftk of during absence; besides, it may be, that you will not meet again in life. ? ? Spare Moments and Little Things.? ] Great men learn very little of what the ; world admires them for knowing, during * what is called their "educational course." , They are men who are constantly observing little things and great things passing around them, and they remember what they observe. They take advantage, too, of , spare moments to pick up information from any books which happen within reach. This , being constantly on the alert wherever yon may be, constantly exercising the mind and the memory, is the secret of success in this direction. Direct and laborious study, if one has time, is of course essential; but it , is the constant accumulation of little things and small parts of great things which give the grandest results. ? jftiqy- Whenever we find out temper ruffled towards a parent, a wife, a sister," or a brother, we should pause and think that in a few months or years they will be in the spirit land, watching over us ; or, perchance, we shall be there, watching over those left 1 behind. - *. > j I?"

I demanded security for a prompt settlement of the note he offered for itThe said: Neagle. went off and returned in a few days and gare me his note for the amount, with the name of E. M.

M. Farris knew nothing of this having been done, and says that the proceedings were without his knowledge or authority, and pronounces it a forgery.... Said Neagle, when afterwards charged with forgery by T?orj-ic nlpRfl and reauested j r- o?7-^> x that nothing more be said of the occurrence, promising to settle the note himself without delay. After this Neagle applied to Farris for a certificate to the effect that the matter had been finally settled, which Farris refused to give. He further states that the District Solicitor of Gaston County had the case in- hand, and was only prevented from prosecuting it on account of the note having been lifted and placed out of the way by Neagle. He further says that he has never signed a note as security for Neagle to Dettcr. E. M. FARRIS. 't _ State of North Carolina, Gaston County.?The above certificate of E. M.

Although the New England States, with the single exception of Connecticut, have for the last ten years uniformly given majorities for the Republican ticket, the Presidential campaign in the East has opened with considerable vigor. Maine.?In the State of Maine the issue is fairly divided on the Gubernatorial ticket. The Democrats are so hopelessly in the minority in the Congressional Districts that little or no contest will be made by them there, with the exception, possibly, of the Portland District, which they carried in 1864, electing Hon. L. D. M. Sweat, but which the Jtepublicans retrieved in 1866 by 8958 majority. Nominations have thus far been made but in three of the Maine Districts for Congress. The State election is held the first week in September, and both parties are straining every nerve to win the day. The Democrats are not very confident of electing their candidate, but are working to reduce the Republican majority. In the Presidential election of 1864 Mr. Lincoln's majority was 24,504, and in the preceeding September the Republican vote for Governor was but a trifle less. In SOptemhferi 1867, it was reduced to 11,614. .The Republicans, however, are making a most thorough canvass this month to bring their majority to the old standard. New Hampshire.?In Hew Hampshire no election precedes the Presidential one in : November, but both parties are already in the field, and ratification meetings have been held in Concord, Portsmouth and [ Manchester. The nominations for the 41st ; Congress do not take place until next winter. In the Presidential campaign of 1860, Mr. Lincoln's majority in this State was 9115; in 1864 it was 8651; in 1865 the Republican majority for Gogernor was 6127; in 1866 it was 4656; in 1867 it was 8147, and in March, 1868, 2517. The ' majorities show considerable change in 8 years, increasing one year and decreasing the next. Vermont.?A State election is held in Vermont in September, and the Republicans will undoubtedly carry the State. In 1867 the Republican majority was 20,162, " and in 1864 the State gave Mr. Lincoln i 29,098. The - intermediate years do not i show much change, and the record of figures is of but little use in a State which has voted but one way for twenty years. Massachusetts.?No election is held in 1 Massachusetts before November, and not a single Congressional nomination has been made. The present members of the Fori tieth Congress will all be renominated for the Forty-first, unless General Twitchell i declines to run again in the Third District. ; Although his majority in 1866 was 8488, i the Democrats prior to that year came very near carrying the District several times, and, it is understood, intend to make a spirited contest over it this falL The largest majority in any district in the State is: S'ven to Hon. W. B. Washburne in the inth, who last year reoeived 10,127, and i the smallest to General Twitchell, of the ; Third, which, as stated, was 3488. In the ' Fifth District an effort is to be made by ' some parties to defeat Genereral Butler. General Schouler, at present a member of the Legislature, and a Conservative Re, publican in politics, is to be run as an ini dependent candidate for Congress, while the Democrats will put up Mr. Northend, of Salem, or Mr. Spofford, of Newburyport, in the hope of giving General Schouler a plurality. In 1866 General Butler's ' majority was 6183. In the State election last fall Governor Bullock had, over John Quincy Adams, 27,946; bat in the previ? ? ? th a DAMttkliAnn mAiAnUv we a _ UUB JfCUI 111C ikcpuunvau luajuiitj nao uu(209. Ia 1864 Mr. Lincoln had over McClellan- 77,977. The Democrats are about to opeer The campaign with a mass meeting at Fanueil Hall. Rhode Island and Connecticut.?In Rhode Island the campaign will prove to be a spiritless affair. The Republican majority is so large that the Democrats do not make much of a fight to reduce it. But in Connecticut the reverse is the case. No State in the Union will witness a more hotly contested campaign. The Democrats have already the control of a portion of the State government, while the New York ticket is more acceptable to the Connecticut Democracy than, perhaps, to any other section. Each party has the State thoroughly organized, and each is confident of a final triumph in November. In 1864 Mr. Lincoln'8 majority was 2406. In 1865 the Republicans carried the State by 11,085; in 1866 by 541; but in 1867 the Democrats elected Governor English by 976, and in 1868 by over 1700 majority. Ibt fjwMlr tfnpfeer.
