I recollect the time when I Rode father's horse to mill. Arams Hie meWnw rwt and field And up and down the hill; And when "our folks" were out at work (It never made me thinner), I jumped upon a horse, hare back, Ana carried them their dinner. De^melj^oun^ JtaudAea nowadays To think of riding all atone In wagon, chaise, tor sleigh: And as for giving "pa" his meals, Or helping "ma" to bake, Oh dear! 'twould spoil their lillv hands, Though sometimes they make cake. When winter came, the maiden's heart Began to beat ana flutter; Bach bean would take his sweetheart cut Sleigh-riding in a cutter. Or, if the storm was bleak and oold, The girls and beaux together Would meet and have the best of fun, And "never mind the weather!" Bat now, indeed, it grieves me muah The circumstance to mention, However kind the young man's heart, And honest his intention, He never asks the girls to ride, But such a man is caged; And if be seee her onoe.a week, Why, surely, "they're engaged!" fUttWTOUS lltMftlfttBi. tT TTV V VT(v * IT VV " " TTTTTW T THE PERIL OF TEACHING GRAMMAR. Mr. Editor?I have been sendin' my darter Nancy to school to a school master in this naberhood. Last Friday I went over to the school just to see how Nancy was gettin' along and I see's things I didn't like by no means. The school master was larnin' her things entirely oat of the line of eddycstion, and, as I think, improper. I set awhile in the school-house and heard one class say their lesson. They was spelling and I thot spelled quite exceedingly.! Then com Nancy's turn to say her lesson. She said it very spry. I was shockt! and determined she should leave that school. I have heerd that gramer was an uncommon fine study, but I dont't want any more gramer about my house. The lesson that Nancv sed was nothin' but the foolishest kind uv*talk, the ridiculest luv talk you ever seed. She got up and the first word she sed wus, "I love!' I looked rite at her hard, for doing so improper, but she went rite on and sed:? "Thou love&t, he lovest," and I reckon you never heard such a rigeermyrole in yoor life?love, love, love, ana nothing but love. She sed one time, "I did love." N Sez I, "Who did you love?" Then the schollars laffed, but I wasn't to be put off, and I sed, 4twho did you love, Nancy ? I want to know, who did you love?" The school master, Mr. McQuillister, put in, and he said he would explain when Nancy finished the lesson. This sorter pacyfied me, and Nancy went on with awful luv talk. It got wus and wus every word. She sed, "I might, could, or would love." I stopped her agin, and sed I reckon I would see about that, and told her to walk out of that house. The schoolmaster tried to interfere, but I wouldn't let him say a ?^ i IT -word, lie sea 1 was a 1001, ana i noose him down and made him holler in short order. I tankt the strate thing to him. I told him I'de show him how heae learn my darter gramer. I got the nabers together, and we sent Mr. McQuillister off in a hurry, and I reckon that there'll be no more gramer teachin' in these parts soon. If you know of any rather oldish man in your region that don't teach gramer, we would be glad if you would send him up. But in the footer we will be keerful how we employ men. Young school-masters won't do, especially if they teaches gramer. It is a bad thing for morils. Yours till death, Thomas Jefferson Sole. A Hindoo Story.?A poor Hindoo, having been released from the cares of this world, and from a scurvy wife, presented himself at the gate of Brahma's paradise. "Have you been through purgatory ?" asked the god. "No! but I have been married," he replied, seriously. "Come in then; it's all the same." At this moment arrived another man, just defunct, who begged of Brahma to be permitted to go in also. "Softly, softly! have you been through purgatory?" "No .'but what of that?? . Did you not admit, a moment ago, one who had not been there any more than I ?"? "Certainly; ?but he has been married." "Married ! Who are you talking to ? I have been married twice." "Oh, pshaw !" replied Brahma, "get away ! Paradise is not for fools." jg?ga> When Abraham Lincoln was a lawer in Illinois, he and the Judge once got to ' bantering one another about trading horses, and it was agreed that the next morning at 9 o'clock, they should make a trade, the horses to be unseen up to that hour, and no backing out, under a forfeit of $25. At the hour appointed, the Judge came up, leading the sorriest looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts. In a few minutes, Mr. Lincoln was seen approaching with a wooden saw horse on his shoulder. Great were the shouts and laughter of the crowd, and both were greatly increased, when Mr. Lincoln, on surveying the Judge's animal, set down his saw horse, and exclaimed, "Well, Judge, this is the first time I ever got the worst of it in a horse trade." " TTAtnon jp0r~ iurhi , a uax u nuiuug nvuiuuj one day, undertook to flog her boy Johnny, a stout chap of some fifteen summers, for something he had done or omitted. She laid it on quite smartly for a minute or two, till Johnny, thinking he had borne about enough, suddenly turned and struck the old lady a good smart blow on the side of the cheek. Dropping her stick in utter amazement, she exclaimed: "Well, well! did I ever think it would come to this? my own boy, Johnny, strike his mother ?" "Well, who begun it, I'd like to know? who begun it?" was the filial answer. Had all he Wanted.?"John! John! you flap-eared young scoundrel, what are you crying about ? What do you want ? asked an indignant father of his young hopeful, who was making day hideous with his howls. "I've got the beller-ache, that's what I want." 8??

To put a horse in the best looking condition jit: sale, he should be fed on grain or Corn which nas heen soakedin watet about < 48 hours and then kept upon a floor till ft 1 has Bpronted; it should lie about six inches i thick, and be turned every four or five ] hours, being watered sometimes to keep it t moist?in short, treated just the same as 1 malsters treat barley prior to its being put < on the kiln to drJ; barley is the best grain ? for a horse when SDronted. Mix one pound < of sulpher, one pound of rosin and two t pounds of fenugreek, and give two table- ( spoonfulls every secohd <5f third night, by snaking it among the feed or giving it in, ,y any mash the horse is fond of. Four oun- y ces of antimony mixed with the above, and giving one tablespoonful, will give an in- 1 creased lustre to tne skin and will improve the very worst looking brute in existenoe. The exercise ehould be chiefly walking?no y violent sweating and no long journeys. ] To keep horses m condition for farm y work, and for any work where the pace j does not exceed five or six miles per hour, , they can be turned on grass in Summer, ' bat should have oats morning, noon and f evening, and a little hay too at noon; the j quantity of oats to be given will depend a < good deal on the state of the grass the hor- ( ses live on, and also on the nature of the ? work. Regular, steady work is best; for, ( though one rest day is very well, when a < number of idle days come together the hor- ] ses sweat extra, and lose more off the first \ day at work again, than they gained by the j prolonged rest. When in the stable on dry f food entirely, some farmers commend clover y hay, made from clover cut when the seed j begins to shed, but this is very wrong; for { that kind of hay is woody in the stems, and 1 it-has not only greatly injured the land by \ standing till it was so old, but it has a de- , oidedly injurious effect on the horses?pro- t ducing coughing, heaves, swelled heels and } legs, and often inflamation in the eyes. \ The only way it can be given without dire r results, is by cutting it into chaff and wet- t ting it; served thus, and some meal mixed ( with it, there are those in the country who ? will call it <4the perfection of hay." Hay t made from young grass will cause horses to dung rather looser, but when it is kept to be old hay it ceases to have that effect, and in England hay kept over till the second t year alwayB commands a higher price than e new. In that country where grain does c not ripen till a month later than in Ameri- t ca, the grass is out earlier by a month than <; it is here. For farm work, and any other c slow work, it is not at all essential that any ] great importance be attached to any par- . ticular method of feeding or to any partio- ? ular character of food. Old, dry-stemmed j grass, when made into hay, is doubtless t best to be cut up and wetted to aid the di- ? gestion ; and meal, which has rather a sour- t ing tendency, may help to carry of humors which would otherwise be engendered; but when good, nutrious hay and oats are fed, the horse should eat them dry, for the saliva is the natural moisture to go into the stomach with the food, and it is sure to be much better masticated in that state. A little good chaff mixed with the oats will, if not wetted, cause horses to grind the oats closer, so that few will pass through whole. AN EXCELLENT FERTILIZER. The Journal of Chemistry says that otfe of the best fertilizers used upon the farm for all the cereal grains and root crops may be made in the following manner: "Take one barrel of pure, finely ground bone, and mix with a barrel of good wood ashes; during the mixing add, gradually, about three pailsful of water. The heap may be made upon the floor of an outbuilding, or upon the farm floor; and by the use of a hoe, the bone and ashes must be thoroughly blended together. The water added, is just sufficient to liberate the caustic alkalies, potash and soda, and these act upon the gelatine of the bone, dissolving the little atoms, forming a kind of soap, and fitting it for plant aliment. In this way the ' ** i- f it. 1 c most vaiaaoie constituents 01 me uuue cau * be made immediately available, and the ad- f dition of potash and soda aids in the formation of a fertilizer of inestimable value. A gill of this mixture, placed in a hill of oorn will work wonders. It is excellent for garden vegetables and for all kinds of roots. It will be ready for use in a week after it is ? made." J Taking up Trees.?The following rela- a tive to taking up trees for transplanting, s accords with the views we have often ex- ^ pressed, but they cannot be repeated too a often; they were given at a recent meeting of agriculturists at New Haven. a "An enormous amount of money is lost fl tn tree nnrchasers from rude and unskillful 1 taking up. Trees are often torn up by the roots, as if the trunk and branches were the one thing necessary, and the roots superfluous. The proper way is, to open a trench on each side of the tree with a common spade, keeping the edge towards the tree, so as not to cross a root. These trenohes should be far enough from the tree to avoid the main roots, and deep enough to go below all except the tap root, which may be cut off. Tins being done, the tree may be pulled up with its roots entire." Renovating Worn-Out Lands.?What is the cheapest method of bringing up ex- ? hausted lands ? In any climate where clo- ' ver will flourish, this plant is undoutedly 1 the cheapest manure. If you can get a * fair crop of clover to start with, your sue- y cess is assured. This can be done, in many * cases, by sowing two bushels of plaster to c the acre. If this does not succeed, bone dust, Peruvian guano, or fish scrap, in moderate quantities, certainly will. The clover y may be turned when a little past full bloom, 1 or be partially fed by cattle that remain on ' the field, and ploughed in later. Two or ' three crops will prepare the way for grain. ' ?American Agriculturist. ' . ] To do Shirt Bosoms.?Take two ounces 1 of fine white gum arabic powder, put it into I a pitcher, and pour on a pint or more of 1 water?and then having covered it, let it ^ stand all night. In the morning, pour it ^ carefully from the dregs into a clean bot- ( tie, cork it and keep it for use. A table- i spoonful of gum water, stirred in a pint of ' starch made in the usual manner, will give ^ to lawns, either white or printed, a look of 1 newness, when nothing else can restore \ them, after they have been washed. Check-Bbin.?Always loosen the oheck-' rein before giving water to a horse. Even if the pail is held so high that the rein is, not ] drawn tight, the position is an unnatural < one in which to drink. j gat tfte ?fom* ?ifcte. AMOTH?R'SLOVE. Men talk of the s3ver-cord of' friendship ?of the silkentjes which hind young lovjrs together?of4he pure affections of hus3and and wif^jts if it were durable as adanant, and as pure as tine lore of angels.? But a hasty word, a thoughtless action, or i misconstrued expression, may break the irst; a slight negieet, some inconsistency, >r a trifling favor denied, may sunder the lecond; and even the last may be destroyid, for the green-eyecl monster may find lome entrance and blighithe fairest flowers )f this sweetest earthly paradise. But there is a love which neglect cannot ireaken?which injury cannot destroy?and vhich even jealousy cannot extinguish. It is the pure, the holy, the enduring A ove or a mower. It' is as gentle as the breezes of evening. It is as firm as the oak, and ceases only irben life's last gleam goes out in death.? Daring all the vicissitades of this changing rrorld, in sickness or in sorrow?in life or n death?in childhood's halcyon days?in youth's untroubled hour?or in manhood's vigorous prime?the mother clings with the )ame unwearied affections to her child. It s the same amid the snows and frosts of Siberia, the temperate and joyous regions )f our own fair land, and amid the arid i&nds of Africa. Tho anxious cares and lender attentions, and oft-repeated words >f a mother's love, are not without their lappy influence upon the lives and charac;ers of their sons. The stern rebuke of a ustly offended father may check, for a seaion, the rising and struggling passions of fouth, but the sacred lessons learned from i mother's lips are engraven on the heart, md retain their power though life ; in rirlue's paths, and even in the caree" of vice, ;hey are continually recurring to our mind, ind bring with them, as further incitements ;o good, all the hallowed scenes of childiood and innocence. Hard is the heart hat will not melt "at the recollection of a nother's prayers; and more obdurate still ;he heart of him who, by a course of vice, :an willingly wring her soul with anguish, md bring down her gray hairs with sorrow o tfie grave. THE COW AND THE CROCODILE. A cow and a crocodile having met on he banks of a river, had a violent dispute is to the merits of their respective places >f abode. The cow naturally preferred he land. It was dry, it was solid, it proluced abundance of rich grass. The crolodile could not sufficiently praise the river, .ts waters, though muddy, were deep, and >leasant to the touch, and abounded in lifejiving properties. The cow quoted many earned authorities to prove the dry land he proper home for animals. The crocolile, on the other hand, quoted as largely o show the river to be the best and safest (welling place. "But," said the latter, "since you will 101 be convinced by arguments, you would tetter come down into the water and learn ?y experiment the truth of my words. If, ?n making the trial, you should retain your tresent opinions, I will abandon my views ,s erroneous, forsake the water and dwell vith you, henceforth, on the dry land." The cow, pleased at the candor of tie :rocodile, went down into the river. "What have you to say,now?" said the ;rocodile. "That I am as much convinced as ever," esponded the cow, "that the land is the inly place where it is possible for me to ive." "You might have said so a few moments igo, with safety to yourself," answered the irocodile, "but now the utterance shall cost rou your lfe." And the cow, not being able to defend lerself in the deep water, came to an unimely ?nd. "Beware," oroaked a solitary frog, that lad witnessed the sad scene.. "Beware of neeting an adversary on grounds selected >y himself. Concede nothing to the wickid, even with the hope of reclaiming them rom vice."?Paul Peregrie.THE INFIDEL ANS WERED.

Newman Hall, a free thinkir who happened to be present rose and aid he came to hear about'temperance, but n bin nnininn the man who invented pas ***** T ~? - ? a ias done more to enlighten the world than ill the parsons. Quite a disturbance enlued, but a friend of Mr. Hall at once begged for a fair hearing even for the objector, md then being himself called up, he said : "Mr. Chairman?I'm for free thought md free speech; and yonder gentleman has i, right to speak and think for himself^ as ! have. [Loud cheers from the friends of he objector.] That gentleman says he lonsiders the man who invented gas did uore to enlighten the world than all the >arsons.

Now, when his season comes to our friend, I would rejommend him to send for the gas-man." An immense sensation, with a tumult of ipplause followed this sally, which, as Mr. Tail says, was better than a sermon, and lot likely to be forgotten. He adds, that he impudent boys of the neighborhood rhere this occurred, still, when at safe dis,ance, shout to the man round the corner >f the street, "Send for the gas-fitters !"

KEROSENE--ITS MANAGEMENT. Scarcely a day passes but we read ac- J counts of frightful accidents from kerosene ( lamps exploding and burning to death wo men and children* A simple knowledge of i the imflammable nature of the fluid would probably put a stop to nearly all the acci- j dents. As the oil burns down in the lamp, a highly inflammable gas gathers over its surface, and as the oil decreases the gas in- i creases. When the oil is nearly consumed 1 a slight jar will often inflame the gas, and c an explosion is sure to follow, dealing death ] and destruction. A bombshell is not more t to be dreaded. Now, if the lamp is never f allowed to burn more than half way down, such accidents are impossible. Always fill c your lamps every morning, then you never s need fear an explosion. s Great economy can be practiced in re- 8 gard to the wires. There is usually one 8 third of a wick wasted- By sewing one 1 wick to this unburn t end, and inserting the \ same, i. e., the small piece, into the lamp i tube, you can burn much more of it; but 1 be sure to take it but before the uart that joins the wiek enters the tube. Now turn the wicks on the other edge and burn down to the joined edges. Thus a saving on both wicks is secured. To be sure the saving is tl 1 . ?T VI t . x LA A small,, dm ine okl aaage is very true: ~jx penny saved is a penny earned." Half a teaspoonfol of salt added to the oil of a lamp'which holds a pint wiH take away the disagreeable odor sometimes apparent, and is is said to prevent the formation of that dangerous gas. It is a simple remedy, easily applied. It is also asserted that the salt makes the oil last longer, hut we have only hearsay evidence concerning it. Kerosene is the best antidote for a severe burn or scald Immerse the injured part in cold water for a moment; dry with a soft cloth, taking care not to rub at all. Then bathe in kerosene, and the terrible i pain soon ceases. Railway Statistics.?There are in dailly use on 87,000 miles of railway in the United States, not less than 1,250,000 truck and car wheels, under 8500 locomotives, 6500 passenger cars, 2700 baggage . and express cars and 160,000 freight cars. . The available statistics show that passenger cars make an annual mileage of 28,400 miles, or 75-100 miles per day of 320 days per annum; the average load borne on each car wheel to be 3$ tons- With this load the average life of a wheel is 45,000 miles, ' or 1 58-100 years. On. trains running at expresB speeds, the average life does not ex???J "1 A n/t ilA mVinnla nn/lnn I UCCU xv/ uiuuiiio oci viv/c, nuuc nucuo uuuui tender tmoks have a life of 18 months. Under freight service in the state of New York, with an annual train mileage of 11,483,123 miles, transporting 75.5 tons of freight per train, the annual mileage per car was 14,649 miles, eaph wheel bearing > an average load of 1.47 tons, which gives j 3-8 years as the life of a freight wheel, cor- | responding with the experience of one of g the principal roads of the State. But as- s suming that the average life of car wheels, under all kinds of service, as being five 1 years, the total number of wheels worn out \ annually in the United States will not be a less than 250,000. At an average cost of * $18 per wheel, allowing one half of their value for the old wheel, the annual loss may be stated at two and a quarter million of < dollars. j A Lecture on Hogs.?Some folks accuse pigs of being filthy in their habits, and negligent in their personal appearance. But whether food is best eaten off the , ground, or from china plates, is, it seems to ] me, merely a matter of taste and conve- * nience, about which pigs and men may hon- 1 estly differ. They ought, then to be judged ] charitably. At any rate, pigs are not filthy ? enough to chew tobacco, nor to poison their ? breath by drinking whiskey. And as to their personal appearace, you don't catch a pig playing the dandy, nor the females among them picking their way up the mod- i dy street of the village, after a rain, in kid ( stoppers. Notwithstanding their heterodox notions, hogs have some excellent traits of character. If one chances to wallow a little deeper in some mire-hole than his fellows, and carries off and comes in possession of more of this earth than his brethren, he never assumes an extra importance on that account ; neither are nis brethren stupid enough to worship him for it. Their only j question seems to be, is he still a hog ? If he is, treat him as such. And when a hog has no merits of his own, he never puts on airs, nor claims any particular respect on account of his family relations ; and yet some Hogs have descended . from very ancient families. They under- ' stand full well the common sense maxim, "Every tub must stand on its own bottom." Loss of Children.?Those who have ( never passed through this fiery furnace, which tries the inmost heart, cannot sympathise with bereaved parents whose hearts j bleed over their children dead. To describe the anguish which rends their hearts * as they gaze upon the loved forms on whom their fondest hopes and aspirations had rested so firmly, now cold and lifeless in their j coffin-home, would require a pen dipped in " tlm vow AOAAnoo of the sublimest sorrow itself. None but the parents can feel it, and none but those who have mourned like them, can sympathize with those who mourn I the death of their children. The loss no power on earth can bring back and place them again beneath their parent's loving gaze and fond care. From earth they have taken their final departure, never, never to return. The little chair they occupied, the j little plate and knife and fork they used, will he to them of service no more?but j merely lonely mementoes of their existence. The patter of their little feet upon the floor, and the music of their sweet voices, will greet the parent's ear never again on earth. All will be a recurrence of all that is dreary and dismal. But hope, plumed by relig- J ion, points to a happy meeting in another * and better world. ? ? * g I am rich enough, says Pope to 1 Swift, and can afford to give away a hun- ? dred pounds a year. I would not crawl , upon the earth without doing good. I will enjoy the pleasure of what I give by giving ( it alive, and seeing another enjoying it.? ? When I die I should be ashamed to leave ^ enough for a monument, if a wanting friend t is above ground. That speech of Pope is sufficient to immortalize him independently of his philosophical verses.
