? _ Emnoromi gepartoieat PUT HIM THROUGH. Not long since a brace of lovers from the interior entered an up-town photograph saloon, and wanted their pietnree taken.? The lady gave precedence to her swain who, she said, "nad to be tack fast and real natural." He brushed up his hair, gave his necktie a twist or two, asked his girl if his color was 0. K., and placed himself in the operator's chair, where he assumed the physiognomical characteristics of a poor mortal in the dentist's hands, and about to part with one of his teeth. "Now look party," begged the lady, casting one of her languishing faces. The picture was taken. When produced, it reminded the girl, as she expressed it, "just how - Josh looked when he got over the measles"; and as this was not an era in her lover's history particularly worthy of commemoration she insisted that "he i ll ..i. _ ? snouiu sec snuu. He obeyea and she attended him to the chair.. "Josh," said she, "jost lute kinder smilin', and kinder don't." The poor fellow tried to follow the indefinite injunction. "La!" said she, "you look kinder all puckered up." One direction followed another, but with as little success. At last, growing impatient and desperate, she resolved to try an experiment, which she considered infallible, avAlolma/1 ! auu ^aviouuwvi "I don't keer if there is folks 'round." She enjoined the operator to stand ready at the camera. She then set in her fellow's lap, and, throwing her arms around his neck, managed to cast a shower of flaxen ringlets as,a screen between the artists and the proceedings, which were betrayed by sounds which revealed what was taking place. When the billing and cooing had lasted long enough to produce the desired effect, the cunning girl leaped from Josh's lap, clapped her hands, and cried to the astonished artist: 4 "Now you've got him?put him through." Watching One's Self.?"When I was a boy," said an old man, we had a schoolmaster who had an odd way of catching idle boys. One day he called out to us: I "Boys, I must have closer attention to your books. The first one of you that sees a bov idle, I want you to inform me, and I will attend to the case." "Ah, thought I, there is Joe Simmons that I don't like. I'll watch him, and if I see him look off his book I will tell. It was not long before I saw Joe look off his hook, and immediately I informed the master." "Indeed," said he, "how did you know he was idle?" "I saw him," said I. "You did; and were your eyes on your book when you saw him ?" I was caught, and never watched for idle boys again. If we are sufficiently watchful over our own conduct we will have no time to find fault with the conduct of others. ' How Much Marm ??We clip the following from an exchange. We advise nightly visitors of dry goods clerks to be-, ware: "A clerk in a dry goods store retired one night, having for his bed-fellow an acquaintance dating back to school days. Our informant slept in the next room adjoining, the door of which was partly open. In the middle of the night he says he was awakened from sleep by hearing the clerk, in a loud voice, exclaim, "How many yards did you say you wanted, marm ? Three yards enough ?" and the next thing heard a tearing noise, and the hed-fellow of the clerk shoutiner out, "What are you doing ? you have torn my shirt from top to bottom." The poor dreamer imagined himself in his store, waiting on a laay customer, who wanted three yards of calico. The shouts of merriment which the event created, can well be imagined. Had Him There.?It is stated that an Irishman called upon a disciple of Esculapius and informed him that his wife was sick and required medical aid. The M. D. was willing to give his attention to the case but desired the man to pay in advance, or enter into an agreement to pay when his * services were no longer needed. "An' it'll be kill or cure for twenty dollars ?" said Pat, "Yes." Pat was satisfied, and left the M. D. to perform the contract. The woman died and in due time he presented the bill. ? Pat looked at it a moment and then asked: "An' did yez cure her ?" "No," answered the physician. "An' did yez kill her ?" This was a poser, and the M. D. discovered that Pat had caught him. The bill, at last accounts, had. not been settled. A negro at Natchez, Mississippi, bought bis goods at the store of a Jacobin, and purchased, among other things, ten pounds of sugar, because it was sold one cent per pound less than at other stores. He afterwards boasted how cheap he had bought the sugar to another merchant, who asked him to bring him the ten pounds of sugar, which being done, it was found to weigh scant eight pounds, whereupon the crowd commenced to laugh at the negro for allowing himself to be cheated. The old fellow studied for a moment, and then said: "Guess he didn't cheat dis child much, for while he was getting de sugar, I stole two pair of dese shoes," and he brought them forth from his pocket. ? "I never knowed anything gained by being in too much of a hurry," said Mrs. Partington. "When me and my dear Paul was married, he was in such participation, that he came near marrying one of the bridesmaids instead of me. And he was such a queer man," she continued; "why he joined the fire-wood brigade, and one night in his hurry he put his boots on hind part before, and as he ran along everybody behind him got tripped up. The papers was full of crowner's quests on broken legs and limbs for a week afterwards, "and she relapsed into an abstraction on the ups and downs of life. jOne very cold night, a jolly old fellow, who had been drinking too freely at a tavern, started for home in a gig, and on the way was upset and left by the side oi the road. Some persons, passing a short time after, discovered him holding his feet up to the moon, and ejaculating to some invisible person, "Pile on the wood; it's a miserable cold fire." From the American Fanner. HORTICULTURAL SECRETS. There ean be no doubt that whatever is worth knowing in horticulture is pretty sure to be known, more or less, among the whole fraternity of horticulturist?and those who pretend to have great secrets, by which they are able to command a much greater success than their neighbors, may be set down as self-deceived or very desirous of deceiving others. From being favorably suited as to condition of soil, climate, protection from cold east and northern storms, or some other natural advantage, they are not unfrequently misled themselves, or would deceive others into the belief that their success is entirely owing to some smartness which none but themselves have been able to discover. This class of people our young horticulturists should shUn. They can tell nothing worth knowing, and are generally ignorant of the first principles on which the most ordinary horticultural operations are nerformed. and more than that, are igno X # w rant of their own ignorance. In the various mechanical arts there are Becrets which it is profitable to conceal, and through which fortunes have been amassed but this is scarcely possible where nature is not only the motive but the ruling power, and must be implicitly obeyed. So far as we understand it, nothing is more simple than 'this obedience to the laws of nature, bo essential to all successful horticultural operations. That nature has many secrets is well known, but she never conceals them save from those who do not inquire for them. Those who do inquire, find her as willing to teach them as they are to learn, and in ho place throughout the glorious creation is this more evident than in the field and garden. Unfortunately there are people, and particularly amateur gardeners, who, when they see an extra sized bunch of grapes or a dish of extra fine strawberries, think there must be some secret in the art of pro ducing them, and thus give the professed j horticulturist credit for a great' amount of wfttrnv rkAOOnaoh^ Ar I pi'SVllUiU Jviiumcu^c UC lltiu j/voovaobu VI laid claim to, and for keeping a secret which never existed. We are aware that discipline (perhaps severe) and a perfect submission to certain natural laws, are essential to the successful cultivation of eve-j ry kind of plant. But that does not appear to enter the minds of the inquirers. They attribute success to a very different cause?some peculiar secret, which the practical horticulturist knows nothing of. Our aim is not to "keep secrets," and to those who fall into the mistaken notion that we do, I would suggest that it wouid be well for them to consider that all kinds of plants and trees with which the horticulturists have to deal, are possessed of vitality, and cannot be tampered with; and to be successful in all the various operations in horticulture, agriculture, o* floriculture, there must be no deviation from the laws which govern vegetable growth. If so^ it will soon show its unwished for results. From those, therefore, who profess to know and keep great secrets, turn away ; follow not in their footsteps. Nature and good common sense will teach all the secrets in horticulture worth knowing. D. B. THIRSTING FOR MORE LAND. One of the most grievous errors of the past and present generation of American farmers, is the almost insatiable thirst for more land. Not one in a thousand, though possessed of five times as many acres as he can profitably or successfully till, is satisfied. While this is perfectly natural, it is at the same time very unwise. The farmer recognizes his wealth in the multiplication of his broad acres, just as the merchant or banker does his in the accumulation of greenbacks; but the difference between the two is that the farmer may add acre to acre, without the ability to render the in* vestment productive, while the merchant or banker has no difficulty in finding profitable investments for his greenbacks. It is always bad policy to buy more land, and give manure in homoepathic doses to that already in possession. The safe and sure guide for the farmer is to attempt the cultivation of no more acres than he can keep in perfect good heart, and every day's experience demonstrates the fact that, with occasional exceptions, a little farm well tilled ismore profitable in the end than a large one indifferently cultivated. We once read a story of a Frenchman who had two daughters. One of them married and received one half of the paternal vineyard as her dowry. To the old man's surprise, the half he had reserved, receiving as much cultivation as he formerly bestowed upon the whole, yielded as much as the whole had. The second married, and he gave her one half of what he had left, and still had as many grapes from his remaining fourth, as he used to get from the whole. There is a whole volume of practical truth in this little anecdote. Its moral is, attempt the cultivation of no more land than you can cultivate well.?Journal of the Farm. PROTECTION FROM VINE BUGS. "For years past the bugs have destroyed thousands on thousands of dollars' worth of cucumber, squash, melon and pumpkin vines, and have had things largely their own way. At last a remedy has been discovered that every test has proved effectual. A prominent and leading agriculturist of a neighboring State, in whose integrity I have unlimited confidence, in giving me the secret, states that for several years past he has applied his test to all his different vines, in the garden and in the field, with the same result. In the field where the ? 1 ? ? ?? AII A MAnvn r\F mn An pumpKiiis were piaiiLeu, tuc runs ui vmcc to which he applied the remedy were unmolested and gave a bountiful yield, while the rows adjoining were utterly ruined. His neighbor, too, last year tried eight 1 rows in the centre of his corn field, at his suggestion, and were not injured and brought forth abundantly, while on each 1 side the vines were all destroyed. This great, yet simple remedy, is to pre pare the hill by hollowing it out, then put 1 in a pint or so of hen manure, cover it with ! earth, and thereon plant your seed. The 1 explanation seems to be that the fumes of its decomposition, while they do not destroy the plant, add to its vigor and growth, and at the same time so impregnate the vine as to make it entirely unpalatable for . the bugs." ; Spent Tan Bark.?Those who have i used this material for mulching strawberries, pronounce it excellent; it formed a handi some path up and down between the rows, perfectly clean and free from weeds. ?he &nquiw.
