=_,, . .; . ;. The Devil ?na Ute Lawyer*. Tbo devil came up to the earth ono dav, And into a court noose he .wended his way, . ; Jost as an attornoy, with very gravo faco, . , Was proceeding to ar-^ue the point? in a caso. Now. a lawyer his majesty never ha4 seen, ?'or to his domlbions none ever had been, And he folt very carious the reason to know, Why nono had boen sent to the regions belo*. Twas tb.iv fault of his agents, his majesty thought, Whs* nono cf thoso lawyers bad ever boon . op.ugbt, And for his own pleasuro ho had. a desire To come to tho earth, and tho reason to in? quire." Well, tho lawyor who rose with a visage so grave, liado out bis opponent a cousummato knavo, And the devil was really greatly amused, To hear the attornoy so greatly abused. As soon as the speaker had come.to a close, The counsel opposing then fiercely arose, An heaped such abuse on the head of tho first, And made him a villain, of all men tho worst. Thus they quarrelled, contended and argued so long, .Twas hard to determine the ono that was wrong. And concluding ho'd hoard quito enough of tho "fuss." Old Nick turned away, and .soliloquized thus: "If all they have said of eaoh other be true, The devil has surely boen robbed of his duo; I'm satisfied now, 'tis all very well, For these lawyers wonld ruin tho morals bf hell "They have puzzled tho court with the villain? ous cavil, And I'm free to confess, they havo puzzled tho devil; . My agents are right to lot lawyers alone; If I had them they'd awindle me out of my throne," [.ExcAansre. -:- -? ? ?-! Agricultural Rhymes. When books and papers wore scarce, people read to remember, and rhyme was a great assistance to the memory. Thus many of Franklin's "Poor Rich? ard's Maxims," handed down from father to son, have become household words. The following is a collection of some of the most popular pertaining to agricul? tural pursuits: If butter churned in morning air Is kept in a cool placo vith care, The taste is nice; Bat that whioh shows the buttermilk Don't sell to those who dress in silk For any price. To be in debt Brings out the sweat. No half-cooked meat Is fit to eat. A woman who sneezes Ought not to make cheeses; Put her hands in a muff, . . Or ever take snuff. When the wind is East and the turkics gobble, It :s no time a horse to hobble; Lat let him range to catch the breeze Should he be troubled with the heaves. An ox with broad horns and short, glos? sy hair, Is good for a Lo.im, the market, or fair. Ono white foot ia bad, and two are too many; That horse ia best that does not haye ' '? ?ny. A farmer without hogs, But an army of dogs, Will have more puppies than pork; For the swill will be lost, To tho husbandman's coat Dogs good for nothing to work. The slackest farmer, strango to say, Is known for being out of hay. It does not pay in any way To milk a cow three times a day. When chickens roost above the mow, It spoils the hay for horse or cow. The well-bred daughter for a farmer, A prudent help-meet and a charmer. It is no place to set poles Where moles or mice have dug theil holes. Gobs make no food for kine to eut, Bat they are good for smoking meat. Pork and heaas make m?seles strong Something farmers seek; It is a dish to make lifo long, When cfibked but once a week. A slovenly dress, a shabby .pate, The feuces down, a broken-gate. Pigs in the garden, weeds very high, Children unwashed-no bacon to fry Lots of great dogs and yawning tom cats, Windows repaired with a dozen old hats, An empty barn-not a spear of hay, Gows in the clover, horse run away, Things Bold by guess, without beinf weighed, Bills coming in and taxes unpaid Pipes and tobacco-whiskey-neglect, Drag in their train, os all might expect, All sorts of trouble to fret away life But worse of tho whole, an unhappy wife. Many estates are lost in the getting, Since men havo forsaken hewing ant splitting, And women their sewing and knitting. A mackerel sky- ._, The wind wiltoo high; Then bring in tho grain, Glose by there is rain. If yon would thrive, Be up by five; For there is health And certain wealth When at the plow, Or milking oow. A farmer at home should be found And often looking at his ground Inspecting fields, repairing fence For dollars como by saving pence. Clear the soil from molos and slugs Prune the trees-keep off the bugs: Then fruits and melons, rich and fair, Will recompense for all your care. Rutabaga, carrots and beets Improve the character of meats; They make good beef, and quicker toe Than any other feed will do. At the farmer's cost Is an early frost. Exercise reason Harvest in season. Of all the crops a farmer raises, Or capital employs, NODO brings such comforts and sue praises, As a crop of girls and boys. A. Biter Bitte?--A Married Lot bur ls ] Get? Into Trouble. ? very-amusing litt?? incident recently occurring in our city is being whispered ?round ?by parties seemingly .well ad i?cfl_in tho premises. It appears that at one of oiir fashionable places of amuse? ment, last winter, a very fascinating and ?retty soubrette had a snort'engagement. I t. was sufficiently long, however, to j completely enlist the admiration of ? gentleman engaged in commercial pur? suits, and not a great while from a North? ern latitude. By Borne mears the par-1 ties beoamo acquainted, and as the days fled along, mutual sympathy mellowed into love. The lady, a little coy nt first, finally lent a listening ear to the entrea? ties of her adorer, and after a brief en? gagement, thoy were married. Of course, it is not the intention of the reporter to recito tho rosy dreams of tho honey? moon; how each adored tho other, and happiness, radiunt as poesy itself, be? witched tho hours into visions of de? light. Weeks sped along, and months had measured their length on time's dial. But nt last a cirenmstanco ocenrred which put au eud to billing and cooing, and re? vealed a domestic imbroglio not at all in harmony with tho felicity that preceded it. ' One day the husband entered his wife's apartment with the declaration that, deeply as ho regretted such nn event, they must part. "Part-you don't mean to leave me?" exclaimed the lady. "Deeply as I regret tho circumstance, such is the case!" was the reply. "But why? "What have I done-whnt wrong have I committed?" "Nothing." "And yet you leave me?" "My dear, in the haste of our mar? riage I forgot to mention a little fact, which, in the mind of casuists, might have formed an objection to it. I have another wife living!" "Impossible!" "It is true, my dear." The lady was silent for a moment, and then, assuming her most bewitching smile, replied: "My dear, I must oonfess that I sus? pected something of the sort, and to guard against any futuro trouble, I had a little paper prepared by my attorney, which yon remember to havo signed in the justice's office the day wo were mar? ried. You supposed it to bo merely a certificate of marriage; hut it was merely an article of agreement, in which you promise to allow me, in oaso of separa? tion, an annuity of $2,GOO. Under the peculiar circumstances of tho case, I shall have to exact tho fulfilment of this agreement, or havo you arrested for bigamv!" "Tho devil!" "True, my dear; boro is a copy-the justice has tho original." "This is a swindle!" "Oh, no, my dear; only a business transaction." Tliore was some-further protest-a lit? tle angry recrimination; but it is need? less to. say tho conditions of the bond were finally complied with, and on this comfortable allowance, tho lady . enter? tains serions thoughts of forsaking tho buskin.-New Orleans Picayune. The Cockroach. hr JOSH BhXlRGS. Tito cockroach is a bug at largo. He is one of the luxuries of civili? zation. He is easy to domestikate, yielding gracefully to ordinary kindness, and never deserting those who show him proper acts of courtesy. Wo are led to believe, upon a close ex? amination ov tho outward crust of these fashionable iusekts, that they are highly successful in intermarriage between tho bnrnetto pissmire and tho" 'artikiltis hero,' or common American grasshopper. He don't leavo tho placo he was born at upon tho slightest provocation, like tho giddy and vagraut flea, or tho fe? rocious bed-bugg; and until death (or some vile power, the invenshun of mau,)' knocks at his front door, ho and his bro? thers and sisters may be seen with tho naked eye over and anon calmly climbing tho white sugar bowl, or running foot? races between the butter plates. .Tho cockroach ia born on tho inst ov May and the fust of November, semi? annually, and is reddy for use in fifteen days from date. They aro born from an egg-fonr from each egg-and consequently they aro all of them twins. There is no such thing in tho anuals ov nature as a singlo cock? roach. The material bug don't sett upon tho egg as the goose doth, but loaves them Ho a round loose, like a pint of spilt mus? tard seed, and don't soem to caro a darn whether they get ripe or not. But I never knew a cockroach egg fail tow put in appearance. They are 08 sure tew hatch put and run as Kaunda thistles, or a bad kold. The cockroach is of two colors, sorrel and black. They aro always on the iriove, an kan trot, I should say, on a good track, and a good day, cluss to three minitts. ' Their food seems to consist not so much in what they eat os what tv,.ey travel, and often finding them dead in my soup at the boarding house, I havo enm to the conclusion that a cockroach can't swim, but they can float. Naturalists hav abo declared that thc cockroach have no doublo tenth. This is an important fackt, nod ought to bo introduced iu all tho primary school books of Amerika. But the most interesting feature of this remarkable bugg is tho iovelynesfl of their natures. They can't bito nor sting, nor evon jack buck. They aro so amia? ble that I havo oven known them tow get stuck in tho butter, and lay there all day, and not holler for help, and actually die at lost with a broken heart. 20 Wine Bottles.
