Yes, John and Henry, 'tis clear to me, Great men in this world are sure to be ; Hut Tom he's little.above a fool? So John and Henry went to school. "Now, real'.y, wife," quoth Farmer Brown, As he sets his mug of cider down, "Tom does more work in a day for me Than both of his brothers do iu three. Book learnin' will never plant beans or corn, Nor hoe potatoes, sure as you are born? Nor mend a rod of broken fence; For my part give me common sense." But his wife the roast was bound to rule, And so "the boys" were sent to school; While Tom. of course, was left behind. For his mother said he had no mind. Five years at school the students spent, Then each one into busin&ss went. John learned to play the flute and fiddle. And parted his hair (of course in the middle;) i Though his brother looked rather higher than he, And hung out his shingle?"H. Brown, M. D." Meanwhile, at home, their brother Tom Had taken a "notion" into his head, i Though he said not a word, but trimmed his trees, And hoed his corn and sowed his peas; But somehow, either by "hook or crook," He managed to read full many a book. Well, the war broke, out, and "Captain Tom," 1 To battle a hundred soldiers led ; And when the enemy's flag went down, , ( Came marching home as "General Brown." But he went to work on the farm again, Planted his corn and sowed his grain, 1 Repaired the house and broken fence, And people said he had "common sense." Now common sense was rather rare, And the State House needed a portion there; So our "family dunce" moved into town, , And they called him "Governor Browu ;" And his brothers, that went to the city to school, . Came home to live with "mother's fool." huiihjmus gfjrartwcttt. A GOOD TEMPERANCE TALE. 1 From Ohio comes a capital temperance story. Judge Quay, the temperance lec- 1 turer, in one of his efforts there, got off the 1 following: L- : .L .:? ? koklf I "All 01 inose WIIU IU JUUUI SCIJUUC a naun of drinking whisky, at forty years will be total abstainers or drunkards. No one can use whisky for years in moderation. If there is a person in the audience before rae whose experience disputes this, let him make it known. I will account for it, or acknowledge that I am mistaken." A tall, large man arose, and folding his arms in a dignified manner across his breast, said : "I offer myself as one whose own experience contradicts your statemeut." "Are you a moderate drinker?" asked : the Judge. "I am." "How long have you drank in moderation ?" "Forty years." "And you were never intoxicated ?" "Never." "Well," remarked the Judge, scanning his subject close from head to foot, "yours is a singular case, yet I think it is easily accounted for. I am reminded of it by a little story. A colored man, with a loaf of bread and a flask of whisky, sat down to dine by the bank of a clear stream. In breaking the bread, some of the crumbs dropped into the water. These were eagerly seized and eaten by the fish. That circumstance suggested to the colored man, the idea of dipping the bread in the whisky and feeding it to them. He tried it; it worked well. Some of the fish ate it, became drunk and lay helpless on the water. By this stroke of strategy he caught a great number. But in the stream was a lanre fish very unlike the rest. He partook | freely of the bread and whisky, but with no ' perceptible effect; he was shy of every effort 1 of the colored man to take it. 1 "He resolved to have it at all hazards, that ' he might learn its name and nature. He pro- 1 cured a net, and after much effort caught it, 1 carried it to a neighbor, and asked his opinion of the matter. The other surveyed the wonder for a moment, and then said, 'I un- ' derstand this case. That fish is a mullet ' head ; it hasn't got any brains.' ' "In other words," added the judge, "alco- ' hoi affects only the brain, and, of course, ' those having none may drink without in- 1 jury!" I The storm of laughter that followed drove 1 the moderate drinker suddenly from the * house. 1 ? ? i Didn't See Him Hung.?The disappoint- \ ment of the colored folks in Goldsboro, on last Friday, because Stephen Darden's (the colored boy) sentence was commuted to life ' imprisonment, was deep, intense and out- ' spoken. An aged negress walked twenty miles, from the lower edge of Greene county, to see him 1 hung. "Well, Auntie," said a bystander, "your 1 cakes are all dough ; the hanging won't come 1 off." # i "Does yertell me, honey, dey isn't gwine to 1 hang nobody? An' I walked all dis dis- 1 tance in wain? It's too bad." "Yes, Auntie, the Governor has respited ( him?or rather commuted him." "Yes, he jus' done it to spite an old nig- ] ger. Dey is alius mutin' and spitin' us. We ( poor niggers ain't got no rights, and a cullud ' pusson ain't 'spected no how. Well, I'm 1 gwine home to die 'thout seeing nobody 1 hung.? Tarboro Southerner. 1 JBaf "I wouldn't a' minded 'bout losing them three fingers by that 'ere buzz saw," said the * man, sadly, "but since that time I've kinder 1 grown reckless, and goue on drinkin' and ] drinkin' bv the wholesale and never knowiu' ' wheu ter stop." "But what had the losiDg 1 of the fingers to do with your becoming a ' drunkard?" broke in the stranger. "Why, you see," responded the inebriate, in explanation, "them three fingers as I lost was the same ones as I alius used to gauge my whisky with, and when they was gone I was 1 gone, too!" 1 + flSf An American girl was playing croquet | in England, "What a horrid scratch !" she 1 said indignantly, when her mallet failed its j i duty, and she missed her shot. "Oh ! ray dear," said the English cousin, "you should not use i such slang expressions," "What should I I have said ?" asked the American. "You ,i might have said," replied the English maiden, j after canvassing her vocabulary for a perfect- j ]y unexceptional phrase, "you might have said, What a beastly fluke !" "How was the sermon this morning, my : darling?" asked a fond mother of her daughter. "Oh ! it was horrid, stupid, and dull, j ma,?something about?let me see?'Thou [ shalt have no idols'?I don't remember exact-; ly, for I was so put out by that silly flirt, Belle Hindsaw, coming into the next pew with fourteen buttou kids when I only had twelve, that I couldn't keep ray thoughts collected." ^ ^ , tSkif Three Irishmen, who had drank, pretty freely of whisky at a tavern iu Dublin, were loud in their praise of its virtues as they reeled along the banks of the Liffey. One of them had just declared that "whisky was i' meat and drink to a man," when his foot slipped and he fell into the river. "There, ; Pat," said one of his friends, "you are fully i provided for ; you had meat and drink, and i now you have washing and lodging." ftST A little miss, taken to church for the j first time, was duly impressed with the ueces-1 sity that she should keep "as still as a mouse." j She behaved herself uutil the preacher became warmed up in his work, aud then she ; raised her finger, and, looking straight at him, cried: "See here, don't you make so much noise." fifes"* A Detroit firm advertised a sure cure for bad dreams on receipt of sixty cents, and | a youthful Michigander, who enclosed the | desired sum, was surprised at the simplicity j of the instructions, "Don't go to sleep !" <farm and fireside. MANURING FRUIT TREES. It may not be supposed that it is necessary to tell people they ought to manure their fruit trees, for ours and other agricultural papers have often urged this upon them. The experience of all is that orchards are almost uni- j versally neglected, and experience equally ! universal shows that it is only by calling re- j peated atteution to these matters that people ' will do better. We do so now because this is a particularly good time to attend to such work. When the trees are small and crops are cultivated and manured amoug them, they j ?? t I. A rvrtwhAtt r\ f t )ia fart 11. I UttlGU tlic ucucub uuiu a put i?iuii \jt biiv (vimi i izers; but when the trees grow so that the 1 branches meet, crops canuot be grown to ad- I vantage any more, and then, too often, tuauu-! ring in the orchard stops forever, and the trees ' commence to go backward ever afterward ; the leaves get yellow, the fruit poor and knotty, and much falls off before half maturing, and the worms take possession of the trees and hold on till one by one the trees die out, and farmers wonder why their trees are not as thrifty as their neighbor's who looks after and manures his trees every season. Dirt hauled from proper draiuiug and ditchiDg of your roads ; from around stumps, fence corners, deposits of washings, ashes from the bouse?especially cob ashes?soapsuds, rotten leaves and chips, will make good dress ings for your trees, aud you will see the advantage, from year to year, to repay you for all your attention, labor and expense upon your trees.? Our Home Journal. A Great Farmer's Maxims.?The successful life of Mr. Jacob Strawu, the prince of American farmers, is attributed to the close observation of the following maxims, originated by himself: Be sure to get your hands to bed by seven o'clock?they will rise early by force of circumstances. Pay a hand, if he is a poor hand, all you promise him ; if he is a good one, pay him a little more ; it will encourage him to do still ' better. , Always feed your hands as well as you feed yourself, for the laboring meu are the bone ind sinew of the land, and ought to be well ;reated. I am satisfied that getting up early, indus? ? ? .L. i?i 1 ;ry ana regular naoits, are me uesi lucuiemcs prescribed for health. ( When bad, rainy weather comes, so you jan't work out of doors, cut, split and haul pour wood, make your racks, fix your fences )r gates, and patch the roof of your barn or 1 30u86. Study your own interests closely, and do not spend your time in electing Presidents, Sovernors or other smaller officers, or talk of bard times and spend your time in whittling ?tore boxes. Take your time and make calculations ; do ! things iu a hurry, but do them at the proper time, and keep your mind as well as your body employed. . ? Chufas.?The planting and raising of chufas gains more favor with our farmers, as they find it is not an expensive crop, and are , found to be valuable for hogs and chickens. They fitten hogs and cause hens to lay. What more is needed ? Plant the seed in a ihallow drill, some two feet apart, dropping them about ten or twelve inches apart, covering them with a plow. They spread rapidly , ander the surface,sending up new shoots, and produce astonishingly. Some farmers have ;xperimeuted with the tops for hay, and find it answers very well. Some, after the tops are lead, have a portable pen which they move ibout the field, keeping their hogs in it, and moving about as the chufas are rooted up. A.fter trying them, chickens eat them with xvidity. Chufac require but little eultiva don. Chicken Cholera?A Cure.?The following i3 said to be an infallible remedy for :he so-called chicken cholera: Make a mix- , mre of two ounces each of red pepper, alum, ( rosin and flour of sulphur, and put it in their food in proportions of one table-spoonful to ( :hree pints of scalded meal. In severe cases, jive about one third of a teaspoonful in a ( meal pellet once a day to each fowl, putting > i small lump of alum in their drinking wa- ( :er. The writer says: "I have tried the , ibove ingredients with marked success; have , :ured fowls in the last stage of the disease. ( [ make it a practice now to give my fowls lome of it once or twice a week, and there ire no symptoms of any disease among . diem." Mending With Plaster.?If the wall ] :rack in any part of the house, get five cents j worth of Plaster of Paris, wet with cold water ( and rub into the cracks with the finger. Rub < till it is smooth. Bad nail holes in the wall , may be filled in the same way, and look just j as well as if a plasterer had been sent for and a bill had to be paid. , If the top of a lamp becomes loose; take it jff with soap and water, wash the glass also j to remove all the grease, then spread the wet , plaster around the glass; put the brass top on | quickly before the plaster has time to harden; ( let it stand till quite firm, and it will he ready for use. Kerosene softens the plaster, and j therefore, lamps should not be filled quite full. s fiST* A Rochester, N. Y., lady correspondent j jays: "If any one desires to keep putty for my length of time, they can do so by simply placing it in an old jar or tin of water. I | have never seen this in print, and as far as I im concerned it originated with me. How- j ;ver, it is an excellent thing to kuow, since j putty is a very useful article to have near at , hand, which could not always be the case un- , less care was used in preserving it. Last j March I put a large lump into a paiut can md covered it witti water, i nave just neeu < to look at it, aud it is as soft, pliable and , ready for use as the day I put it there." I ? I tS&F If grass seed is sown by itself in the , spring, it will generally get so good a start j that no ordinary dry or hot weather in the j summer will injure the crop. When seeding ( laud in this way, a sufficient quantity of seed , should be sown, so that, if it all grows, the i laud will all be occupied with grass, thus pre- < venting the growth of weeds; also giving a | larger yield with a better quality of grass, ; < while forming a thicker turf to be turned j under for the enrichment of the soil when the i land is again plowed. , Jfcaj'-No horse should be worked or driven : on the road longer than five hours without food. The stomach of the horse Is small, com- i pared with the cow or ox, and he digests his ! food in three or four hours. Consequently his stomach is empty at the expiration of that, < time, after feeding, and a rapid exhaustion of I strength follows an empty stomach. Therefore, feed after working or driving five hours, < and let the horse rest one hour after feeding. 1 ( 5?" The dairy-house should be within reas-1 onable distance of the place of milking, since j milk which is carried far, or so as to be much < agitated, and cooled before it is put into pans to settle for cream, never throws up so much, j : nor such rich cream, as if the same milk had been put into pans immediately after it was milked. j < To Cleanse a Hair brush.?Take a basin j of cold suds, add a spoonful of spirits of ammonia, put in the brush, and draw a coarse comb through the bristles as many times as necessary. A cloth, too, may be used to help the cleansing. Finally rinse in clear water. To Cure Warts.?The oil of cinnamon dropped on warts, three or four times a day, ! will cause their disappearance, however hard, large or dense they may be. The application gives no pain, nor causes suppuration. fpattllawmts fading. THE CHILDREN. IJY CHARLES DICKENS. When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And the school for the day is dismissed, And the littleoi.es gatheraround me To hid me good night and be kissed, Oh, the little white arms that encircle My neck in a tender embrace! Oh, the smiles that are halos of Heaven, Shedding sunshine of love on my face. And when they are gone, I sit dreaming Of my childhood, too lovely to last; Of love that my heart will remember, When it wakes to the pulse of the past, Ere the world and its wickedness made me A partner of sorrow and sin ; When the glory of God was about ine, And the glory of gladness within. Oh. my heart grows weak as a woman's, And the fountains of feeling will flow, As I think of the paths steep and stony, Where the feet of the dear ones must go ; Of the mountains of sin hanging o'er them, Of the tempest of fate blowing wild! Oh, there is nothing on earth half so holy As the innocent heart of a child ! The twig is so easily bended, 1 have banished the rule and the rod, I have taught them the goodness of knowledge, They have taught me the goodness of God. My heart is a dungeon of darkness Where I shut them from breaking a rule, My frown is sufficient correction, My love is the law of the school. I shall leave the old house in the autumn, To traverse its thresh hold no more; Ah ! how I shall sigh for the dear ones That meet me each morn at the door. I shall miss the good nights and the kisses, And the gush of their innocent glee, The group on the green, and the flowers That are brought every morning to me. I shall miss them at noon and at eve, Their song in the school and the street; I shall miss the low hum of their voices, Aud the tramp of their delicate feet. When the lessons and tasks are all ended, And Death says, "The school is dismissed," May the little ones gather around me To bid me good night "and be kissed." + ? ? JOSH BILLINGS' NEW PROVERBS. "Thi9 life is like a game of cards. Wc must play the hands dealt to us, and the credit is not so much in winning, as in playing a poor hand well." "When I hear a man brat?i/in2 about what he did last year and what he's going to do next year, I can tell pretty near what he's Joing now." "Don't despise your poor relations. They might get rich some time, and then it would be so hard to explain things." "The reputation a man gets from his ancestors, wants about as much altering to fit him as their clothes would." "There is no woman stationed on the face jf the earth who tries so hard to do right and fails oftener, than the average mother-in-law." "An enthusiast is an individual who be lieves about four times as much as he can prove, and can prove four times as much as anybody else will believe." "Falling in love is like falling down stairs; it's hard work to find out just how the thing is done." "A man who has been waiting for the last fifteen years for something to turu, up is still in the same business." "A poodle is a woman's pet, and I have seen some I would like to swap livings with." "Love is like the measles, you can't have it but once, and the later in life we have it the tougher it goes with us," "Great thinkers are not apt to be great whistlers. When a man can't think of anything he begins to whistle." "The man who you can have to work on a farm for nothing and board himself, just about earns his wages." "Neatness, in my opinion, is one of the virtues.

STORY ABOU'TMR. LINCOLN. The death of Mr. Benton, of Delaware county, Iowa, recalls a st iry he used to tell. In the early days of the Illinois Central Railway the line was not fenced, and one day, two cows belonging to a Methodist clergyman, were killed. Being sued for damages, the sompany resolved to make a test case of it. The President of the road directed Mr. Dentou to take $500 in gold and go to Springfield and retain Abraham Lincoln, whom he knew well, for the company. Mr. Lincoln replied to his request: "I am sorry you didn't come yesterday, Nick, fori have been retained by thepreaohsr and his friends." Dentou explained fully the importance of the case to the company, and then, pulling two buckskin bags filled with gold out of his pockets, he put them down on the table before the lawyer with a startling clink, saying, 'Mr. Lincoln, the President of the company authorizes me to hand you this retainer of 5500 to take our case." Mr. Lincoln jumped to his feet, flushed with anger. "Nick Denton," he said, "I have given my promise to that preacher and his friends, and the Illinois Central hasn't money enough to buy me away from his side. I don't know that I shall ever get a dollar from him?but I'll do my best to make your company pay for those cows." Denton said that he never felt so mean and small in his life as he did at that moment. And he used to say that Lincoln was the noblest and best man in America.

January was mild, as was also February, with the exception of a few days. The greater part of March was cold and boisterous. April opened warm, but grew cold as it advanced, ending with snow and ice, and winter cold. In May ice formed half an inch thick, buds and flowers were frozen and corn was killed. Frost, ice and snow were common in June. Almost every green thing was killed, and fruit was nearly all destroyed. Snow fell to the depth of three inches in New York and Massachusetts, and ten inches in Maine. July was accompanied with frost and ice. On the 5th ice formed of the thickness of window glass in New York, New England and parts of Pennsylvania, and corn was nearly all destroyed in certaiu sections. In August ice formed half an inch thick. Corn was so frozen that a great deal was cut down and dried for fodder. Very little ripened in the New England and Middle States. Farmers were obliged to pay four or five dollars a bushel for corn in 1817 for seed for the next spring's planting. The first two weeks of September were mild; the balance of the month was cold with frost, and ice formed a quarter of an inch thick. October was more than usually cold, with frost and ice. No vember was cold and blustering with snow Bnough for good sleighing. December was quite mild and comfortable.? Windermere iCt.) Weekly Forum. The town of Griffin is the rendezvous of the Texas buffalo hunters. Men who make it a business do not pursue the animal as do sportsmen. They use the needle-gun with telescopic sight, and the firing is done by one or two men only, who usually kill a drove of forty or fifty buffalo on one or two acres of ground. As soon as one is killed the whole herd, smelling the blood, collect around the dead body, snuffing and pawing. The hunters contiuue to shoot them until the last one bites the dust. As long as the men remain concealed and the buffalo do not get their scent, the game is not frightened, for it pays no attention to the report of the weapon. Cracks in stoves may be effectually stopped by a paste made of sifted wood ashes, common salt and clay mixed with water, and applied when the stove is cold.
