Pmmvm* frpartottnt. A SNAKE IN A BALL ROOM. A very interesting and exciting scene occurred at a ball not many miles from this place once upon a time. Among the persons present was a young lady who had a great horror of snakes, and imagined?no matter what the season?if she experienced any unusual alarm, a snake was supposed to be the cause. After dancing awhile, she was greatly distressed by feeling a sensation as though a serpent had fixed itself beneath the folds of her dress. Grasping the head of the monster tightly, she screamed aloud for assistance. A hasty consultation among the gamest of the ladies was held, when it was decided that a young disciple of ASscuIapius,- who was present, should be called to their assistance. He was quickly on the spot, and, "being a man of' uncommon courage, was not many moments in the circle of half-fainting females, before he caught the tail of the snake and wound it firmly around his hand, telling Miss M. that she must let go the moment he jerked, and to make the act as instantaneous as possible, told her that he would pronounce the words, one, two, three, and that at the moment he pronounced the last word, she must let go her hold, and that he doubted not that he could withdraw the wake before it would have time to strike. All stood in breathless horror, awaiting the act of life or death, and the moment the words were pronounced the doctor jerked out the longest and most diabolical looking bustle that ever was seen. The whole affair was soon explained; the fastening of the machine had become loose during the dancing, and it had shifted its position in such a way that it dangled about and induced the belief that it was a snake with an enormous head. The doctor fell down in his tracks, and couldn't be induced to undertake die capture of another snake on any conditions. Crawled Up.?Once upon a time a gentleman found in his hen-roost a ?imple-minded soul in the vicinity, who lived without visible means of support "What are you doing here, you rascal, stealing my chickens ?" "No, sir," was the response] "I ain't thought of doin' nothin' of the sort" It unfortunately happened that the simpleminded individual wore a high, straw hat, of the dimensions of a bee-hive, and the crown thereof was dilapidated to a serious extent Just as he had put in his denial, the head of a half-grown pullet was seen to protrude from the aperture. "S6e there," said the gentleman; how did that chicken get in your hat?" "Well!" exclaimed the simple-minded individual, with an air, of honest surprise and embarrasment, "that is the strangest thing that ever happened to me. I suppose the darned critter must have crawled up my trowsers leg 1" Anecdote of Wellington.?One morning, not long before the battle of Waterloo, a contractor called upon him in great haste and trepidation to complain that Lord xfill threatened to hang him if he did not supply the army with beef cattle at the time he had contracted to deliver them?a thing, he added, which it was impossible to do; and he begged the Duke's interference to save his neck. "Did Hill really say," asked Wellington, "that he would hang you if you didn't have the cattle ready?" "He did, your grace." "Ahem! Then you had better have them on the spot Hill is a man of his vxrrd /" Sam Smith's "Hare."?The Bryan (Texas) Appeal, of the 27th ult., tells the following : On yesterday, a freedman calling himself Bill Jackson applied to the Board for registration. With due formality he presented to Lieutenant Wesendorf his "'tincate," as he called it The document read "Sam Smith." Said the Lieutenant "Is your name Smith?"?frcctlman, "my name is Bill Jackson, but you see, massa1 Sam Smith he died and I married his wider, and come to all his 'state, and you see dis here 'tificate was 'mongst his property, and I fell hare to it" WST An inveterate stammerer, one day, upon a journey, stopped to dine at a hotel. On attempting to nelp himself to ,pepj)er at the dinner, he found, after a violent shaking, that there was no pepper to be had. He turned round, and, beckoning to the waiter, commenced : "Wa-wa-wa-wa-wa-waiter! this pep-pep-pep-pep-pep-pep-p-p-p-pepper-box is som-som-som-som-somethinglike me." "Why so, sir ?" said the waiter. ''Bo-po-po-po-po-popo-po-p-p-p-p-poor delivery !" lhat pepperbox was soon filled. An English preacher in South London recently delivered the following ant piece of advice as to the best means of avoiding temptation : "When you see a dog coming down the atreet, if you pick up a stone, and pretend to throw it, he'll cut and run?he'll understand 'stone-^logyjust the same if you see the devil coming down the street, drop 011 your knees, and he'll cut and run?he'll understand knee-ology." - ? 1fir One of Mark Twain's farmers bought some Bartlett pear trees and the next season he took some of the fruit to the tree dealer: "What kind of pears do you call these?" "Well, I don't know ; Button pears, perhaps." "But they grew on one of the trees you sold me for a Bartlett!" "Are you such a fool," was the dealer's convincing rejoinder, "as to suppose that a tree is going to bear Bartlett pears the first year ?" ? ?iSF*An absenbraiuded professor, in going out of the gate-way of his college, ran against a cow. In the confusion of the moment he raised his hat and exclaimed: "I beg your pardon, madam." Soon after, he stumbled against a lady in the street; in sudden recol- j lection of his former mishap, he called out: j "Is that you again, you bruto?" - At a school in the north of England, j luring a lesson on the animal kingdom, the j teacher put the following question: "Can any boy name an animal of the order of Dento ta?th&t is a front-toothless animal ?" A boy, wKose face beamed with pleasure at the prospect of a good mark, replied : "I can." "Well, what is the animal ?" "My grand-1 mother," replied the boy, in great glee. I J?" A young buck of the soap-lock order, j who wore an unshaven face, and hair parted in the middle, because, as he said, "it looked foreign," lately accosted a Yankee as follows: "I say, fellow, some individuals think I am 1 a Frenchman, and some take me for an Etal- \ yean; now what do you think I am ?" "Waal, I think vou are a darned fool," re i>lied Jonathan. M&'An urchin of seven years went into a j barber-shop in Racine, "Wisconsin, and order-! ed the barber to cut his hair a* close as shears could do it. He was asked if his mother or- j dered it that way. "No," said he; "but] school commences next week, and we've got a j school ma'am that pulls hair." I?" A young man in Lafayette, Indiana, is humility personified. The other day he asked t a young lady if he "might be allowed the ' privilege of going home with her," and was indignantly refused ; whereupon be inquired j very humbly, if he mightsit on the fence and ! see her go by." "I'm terribly distressed," said a clergy-, man of indifferent reputation for sincerity, to a rough neighbor, "to hear you swear so." "Oh, donT let that distress you," said the neighbor, "I swear a great deal and you pray ' a great deal, but neither of us mean anything by it" J The landlord of a hotel said to a boarder : "Look o' here! I want you to pay your bill, and you must ? I have asked you often 1 enough for it, and I tell you now that you don't leave the house until you huve paid it." "Good!" said the lodger. "I'll stay with you | Las long as I live." gepitttment. RECREATION FOR FARMERS. "Humph," I hear some farmer say, "what does he mean by recreation for farmers ?" I will try to tell you what I mean. At the present day it is found that all classes and conditions of men are greatly advantaged by an occasional relaxation from their daily round of duty, whatever its name or nature. Nbne seem to be exempt from this law of our I being. None can ignore it without serious loss to person or purse. The loss to person grows out of the fact that we cannot continue one set of muscles in work, to the neglect of others, without sooner ! or later overworking the one, and impairing ; or enervating the other. Persisting in this course tends to deteriorate the whole system. This is, in all probability, less true of farmers than of people in most any other occupation. Their necessary labor brings about all their muscular system into use. The extent of the use in their case is just where the evil comes j in. Unceasing toil tells upon them to such i an extent as to bring on premature old age. I We .see them bowed over in what should he j the prime of life. They lose the buoyancy 1 and elasticity of mind; they become taciturn j in their homes. A sombre sadness seems to ' pervade all around; The wife is too often overworked and par takes of the same spirit. The children growing up in such an atmosphere lose interest in home?if they ever had any interest in it? and look forward with longing eyes to the time when they can escape to the city, the West, or the sea. Too much of the emigration from our farms has its cause iust here. I know of individual cases in which this is true. The homes are not pleasant to them by reason of unceasing work and the* want of cheerfulness in the family circle. ' v i The remedy, I think, in a measure, is to be found in formers finding out that they can accomplish more, year by year, if they devote a portion of their time to recuperate their powers by relaxation. After a season of relaxation we bring new energy into all we have to do. Work is done with a will. More of cheerfulness accompanies it. Disappointments foil to depress as formerly. Old things have passed away. The future wears a new aspect. "We have renewed our youth as the eagle." I am aware that most formers will say: "This is all very well, but we caunot possibly bring it round." Just here is where tne trouble lies, I am ready to admit. At the same time I would urge you to seek for some way to accomplish it. Take vour wife into your counsel, and also the children, You will find that they will enter into a solution of the difficulties with a will. Your combined wisdom will be sure to triumph in the end, because your interest is involved in it. When once the matter has been put to the test, no fear of its ever being dropped. Much of seeming discontent and hardship will disappear. Try it.?New England Farmer. HOW TO PLANT A TREE. In transplanting trees much depends upon the knowledge and skill exercised. Thousands of fine trees are lost every year through the ignorance and carelessness of transplanters. In taking up a tree or a "shrub for transplanting, be careful to injure the roots as little as possible. But in all cases the roots will be mainied more or less. The feeding power of ; the tree is to the same extent decreased, and it will not be able to sustain the draft made upon it by the stem and leaves. These must be diminished correspondingly by heading back or shortening. In preparing a place for the reception of the tree, avoid, if possible, the sites of the old trees. Dig a hole considerably larger than the clump of the tree's roots, ?Jid from fifteen to twenty inches deep, placing the sods, if in sward land, in one j neap, the soil in another, and the subsoil in a *ture of the soil, su^soilf ank^nc^i, Ij/aek1 loam, and a little well-rotted compost manure, containing wood ashes and lime, to the height where it is proper to place the tree, which should be no deeper than it grew iu the nursery. With the hand or spade shape the soil for the roots into the form of a little cone, on which to set the hollow in the centre of the clump of roots. If this is done some weeks, or even months, before setting the tree, it will be all the better. Avoid stable manure at the time of planting. If the ground be dry, or if the roots have been much exposed to the air since the tree was taken up, soak the roots and the lower part of the trunk in water twelve or twentyfour hours. Cut off all bruised and broken ends of roots smootlily with a knife, and shorten in the longest, so that the clump of roots may have a SfjpQwhat circular form. Incutting a root, always enter the knife upon the under side, and bring it out with a slope, to the upper side, so that the fibres which may shoot out from the edges of the cut shall strike downward into the ground, instead of upward,! as they would, were the cut made as it com-1 monly is. With good rich soil fill up under, among, nrrmnH nnrt ahnve t.hfi roots, straightening WMV> ^ ' O O them out 'with the fingers, and placing them in a fan-like and natural position, being very cautious not to leave any, even small, hollow places, among tliem. If the root is one-sided, | make the most you can of the weaker part | At this stage of tlie process, a bucket of water is desirable to pour about the roots; but the watering, if the roots be fresh, is not essential, except in the case of evergreens. Next, put in a little more earth, pressing it around the tree with the foot. After this, throw oh an inch or so of loose earth, and the work is done.?Rural Carolinian. 4^4 The Pea Bean as a Farm Crop.?Edit- j or Rural Carolinian: Last season I planted, i as an experiment, an acre of the small round i white bean, known in some parts of the country as the Pea Bean and in others as the Navy Bean. The land was sandy and so poor that I feared it would not produce corn enough to pay for working it, as the only manure I had to put on it was a few loads of j chip manure and three barrels of wood ashes, i For that reason I made up my mind to try the beans. I broke, up the land as for corn and laid it off in deep drills three feet apart. Having thoroughly mixed the chip manure and ashes, I scattered the mixture into these drills. It j made but a light dressing. The beans were 1 dropped one foot apart, about five beans to the i hill. I think it took about twelve quarts to plant the acre, but am not sure, as I made ' no note of the quantity at the time. I covered, with a hoe, about one and a half inches ! deep, the hills being considerably below the j general surface. The crops suffered some * ? * f>\i s\ s\4~* /I nnr? nlan^inn Kni 1 num iiiuugiib, in ojinu vi \iggji juuuiiii^, unt recovered in part when the rains came on. I j gave the crop two thorough workings, leaving the ground nearly smooth. My crop was i fourteen bushels, worth in town four dollars i a bushel. I am convinced that the yield of: corn on the land, with the same manuring,! would not have exceeded ten bushels, worth ! one dollar a bushel. I am told, and can readily believe, (from j the results of this experiment) that at least1 twenty bushels to the acre can easily be pro- j duced on moderately fertile soil and with light manuring. Prices for this crop are always high, and the markets never glutted. Could , not this be made a profitable crop in our middle country ? FABIUS. ft#" Sir Kobert Peel once presented a farm-!' ers's club in England with two iron plows of the best build. On his next visit, he found the old plows, with wooden mould-boards, again at work. "Sir," said a member of the ' club, "we tried the iron, and we be all of one mind that they do make the weeds grow." ; Good plows will make corn grow, and weeds too. - , < S&-" Chesnut makes more coal to the cord j than any common wood, oak a little less, wal-' < nut a little less, and so on down through elm,1 willow, ash and birch, to pine, which makes < only two-thirds as much to the cord as chesnut. * fat i&t jftflM; CONDUCTED BY REV. ROBERT IyATHAN. [Original.] RESURRECTION. So far as we know, there has never been any serious controversies amongst Christians respecting the doctrine of the resurrection. It is so plainly taught in the Scriptures that a denial of it would be an open attack upon the truth of the Bible; but whilst the doctrine of the resurrection is plainly taught in the Bible, it is taught no place else in any of God's works. Some fanciful divines attempt. to prove the doctrine of the resurrection by the reanimating of nature in Spring; but there is not the slightest resemblance between the two tilings. ' The life?&f the rose is not extinct during Winter. It is only suspended. When the soul and bodv are separated by death, the body decays and absolutely returns to dust. It retains none of that vitality which it had when united with the soul. If the vegetable kingdom absolutely died on the approach of Winter, and absolutely became alive again on the return of Spring, there would be some resemblance between the work of Spring and the resurrection, but it would still be only a resemblance. If the power of Spring upon the vegetable kingdom was such as to reanimate the rotten and decayed grass and weeds, and cause them to grow and flourish'in all the beauty and vigor of the past year, then the works of creation and providence would af ford an illustration of tlie doctrine 01 ine resurrection as taught in the Bible. . Some individuals soaring on the wings of the muses, see in the butterfly crawling out of its chrysalis state, a perfect demonstration of the resurrection of the body. Nothing, to say the least of it, could be more puerile. As well might we say that the eaglet making its way from its mother's egg, proves that our bodies will be resurrected. * That the resurrection of the body is only taught by the Bible, is demonstrated by the fact that none of the wise men of this world ever thought of such a thing. Socrates and Cicero had some idea of the immortality of the soul. Socrates said that Crito confounded him with his body and said he would die; and Cicero said if the immortality of the soul was a dream, "let me dream on." But the idea never entered the minds of either of these great men, that the bodies of the human family would be resurrected. How could they know it ? It was impossible for them to think it out as the Mathematician thinks out abstruse problems, and nature gatfe them no intimation of such a thing. It is not wondeVful that Pagan phylosophers did not know any thing about the doctrine of the resurrection. They had no means of knowing anything about it. God never designed that the human mind, unassisted by revelation, should make the discovery. Adam before his fall knew nothing of the doctrine. But so soon as the revelation was made to him of deliverance through Jesus Christ, the resurrection i>f the body became a part of Adam's creed. TV,q rtn/itn'no nf fVip rpsnrrentinn ir one of JL JL1V/ UVV/V1 AAAl/ V4 W**V ? V-- -- ? ? the most important taught in the Bible. Paul makes a formal argument to prove that it is not impossible, in the fifteenth chapter of his first Epistle to the Church at Corinth. The object of the Apostle is to prove that reason confirms the teachings of the Scriptures on this subject, although it is not able to make the discovery itself. Some individuals have entertained very strange notions concerning the resurrection, and have instituted wild and fanciful inquiries respecting it. As an instance of these vagaries, it is believed by some persons that the bodies of the righteous only will be raised from the slumbers of the grave. But it is not likely that many persons, who have any knowledge whatever of the teaching of the Bible, will embrace this opinion. It is so often, both directly and inferentially taught in the New Testament, (hat "thar^ will Jidjt resurrection Tjoth of the just and the unjust," (Acts, 24: 15,) that it is a matter of wonder that any one ever attempted to promulgate such a notion. Dr. Macknight, a very learned Scotch divine, and extensive writer and commentator, teaches in his commentary on the First Epistle to the Thessalonians, that the bodies of both the righteous and the wicked will be raised from the dead, but .that the bodies of the wicked will be annihilated soop after. If this strage notion was taught iu the Bible, Christians ought to believe it, although they could not understand it; but as the very reverse seems to be plainly taught in the Scripture, it will not be attended by any good to follow the learned Scotchman in his vagaries. . An interesting subject connected with the doctrine of the resurrection is, as to whether our bodies will be identically the same after the resurrection, that they were whilst we were living, that is, will our resurrected bodies be composed of the same atoms that are contained iu our present bodies, or will our resurrected bodies be such as only to secure our identity. Our bodies arc subject to continual attritions which literally wear them away. This fact lias led some to speculate about what atoms will be in our resurrected bodies. The safest, and therefore the best conclusion ul'o pon nnmn with rpsnpc.t to t.hlS subject, is that our identity will be preserved. This has been the case with men during all their pilgrimage here, and we need have no fears that it will not be the case through eternity. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the strongest proofs of His divine origin. It was made by Him, the test of his being the true Messiah. He by his own power resurrected his body, and thus gave a proof of his divinity, and that He was the true Saviour. That Jesus Christ did rise from the dead, can not be doubted by any one who believes the testimony of the Bible. Nothing can be more plainly taught than the New Testament teaches the resurrection of our Saviour. To quote the passages in which it is stated would fill pages. From the relationship which exists between Christ and his people, we are safe in concluding that the bodies of Christ's people will be similar to his body. Such as His body is, such will our resurrected bodies be. [Original.] PUBLIC PRAYERS. It seems like invading hallowed ground to make any strictures upon the prayers of any one, but there are some things which are so foreign to the primary idea of prayer in the public petitions of some men, that it does appear they ought to be apprised of the fact. Some preachers have learned the art of praying when they are preaching, and preaching when they are praying. Nothing can be more out of taste than to deliver a lecture on some Theological dogma, under the name of a'prayer. Yet it is a thing of no rare occurrence. How silly it is for one to go to the throne of grace, in the attitude of a supplicant, and deliver a long harangue on justification or any other Bible taught doctrine. Some individuals in their prayers seem to be delivering a homily or exegesis on some mooted point to God. Others explain the principles of political economy; and others again lampoon those who are worshiping with them. All this is extremely foolish and heinously wicked. God needs not instruction in Theology, and prayer never was designed to be the vehicle of satire. How supremely absurd to go to the throne of grace as a supplicant, and assume the character of an expositor of Scripture. Sonic men, and not a few, have un unhallowed and most wicked ambition to be regarded "fluent in prayer." The prayers of such men are gotten up in the best rhetorical style. The words are well chosen, and the periods are round and smooth. There is no sin in praying in good English, but when the words of a prayer are so chosen and arranged that the supplicant may receive praise of men and be called "able in prayer," the whole affair becomes farcical, and the petitioner a Pharisee of the hypocritical type. There are certain features which should characterize every public prayer. 1st. It diould be the desire of our hearts. To ask God for what we do not want, is to insult Hin most egregiously. 2nd. It should be simph in words and thought, and easily understooc by all present To ask God for what we want and yet in language that is not readily un derstood, is to insult our fellow-worshipers 3rd. As a general rule thfey should be snort There is more danger of a prayer beingjrft long than of a sermon. We may be initrtict ed on this point by the Lord's prayer. I contains many petitions, but in few words 4th. Public prayers should be eharucterisec by great propriety. We should be very cure ful neither to insult God nor our fellow-wor shiperB. ?fce f mtfewlTc (Srnquim.
