mm # ^mr ita, ANBSfrsi WhatDreases and Segars cost AnnuallyThe old and somewhat famous correnpon^ dent of the Baltimore Sun, says: "I believo there are iu the United States some 000,000 ladies spending annually, on an average, $250 apeice for foreign dry goods. This is a moderate estimate, sinoo their are toilets that cost from 2,000 to $10,000 a year, and since even white servants spend on an average from 20 to $80 a year in the same manner. Takjng the above 000,000 ladies alono into consideration, we have an indebtedness of $125,000,000 a year to England and France; sufficient in two or three years to produce a commercial crisis. The importation of these foreign 'dry goods is far rnqro injurious than the importation of foreign emigrants. The latter help to produce, and consumes in turn ; tho dry ffoods morel v nrndiir.o tiuialf A littio more saving in dry goods?especially silks and laco, it i3 believed, would do more to restore the balanco of trade than all tinkering legislation on the tariff, without producing either want, or destroying the happiness of those exouisite creatures who have been created for tlie especial purpose of civilizing and subduing men. A cultivation of time, tasto of music, painting, literature,' <fcc., whilo it produces infinitely more real happiness, is, at the same time, a great savlngin dry goods. * \ Having said so much about the Rnving of ladies, allow me to remark to the gentlemen that segars have risen nearly one hundred percent, compared with former years; that there hns not been a good vintage since 1851, and that, consequently, an enormous additional expense is entailed* on them if they do not mend their habits. Tho best way to do this and to avoid cards is to seek the so ciety of ladies, or to cultivate at homo those I domestic virtues which alone secure substan-! tial happiness. To all new-married couples, just setting out in life, I would say that the most economical way of housekeeping is still productive of more real comfort, and of the cheerful feeling of home, than living in the most fashionable boarding-house or hotel nnd that hotel life is a most terrible wasto of dry goods, to say nothing of the drying up of all truly generous sentiments." "Beautiful talmas," sweet" mantillas, bo witching silks, and "loves" of bonnets, have caused more cold dinners, dish water suppers, and bankrupt husbands than all the "segara" in Cuba. A "Little Cloud." Li.ovd'b Weekly paper?one of the oldest of the English publications, and associated essentially with the commercial interests of Great Britain?gives expression to sentiments respecting this country which, wo imagine, are those of a large part of the enlightened classes for which it speaks. We make the following selection from one of its arti cies, as germane to tlic times. It says: "The little cloud is growing. ]>ay by day wc see the two great Anglo-Saxon States stand further apart; and causes of complaint iire being multiplied?we grieve to say it? on this side the Atlantic with the groat republic. Is this the fruit of our Austrian Hnd French alliance? American hatred and distrust of Austria are as tierce as a passion; .and whenever wo conclude a defective nlli.anco which shall give us a new friend at Vienna, wo must reckon on findihg a new enemy at Washington. This is in the course of "things. Our Austrian leanings nil along have turned us the hearts of our cousins.? But now we aro to sutler for tho quarrels of the French Emperor. Three or four weeks ago, official papers began to abuse tbe Americans. Within the last few days Mr. Soule, an American ambassador in l'aris, is about to demand his passports aud withdraw ; and rumor designates the winter duty of tho Baltic fleet as a cruise across the Atlantic!

If the fleet go out, blood will he shed, and in a cause not ours?the blood of men who speak our language and obey our laws, the blood of brothers. Aro the stories false! Or are our ministers gone made ? llave they not enough upon their hands ? Wo tell thern, EngLnd will tell them, that tho first wish of all hearts is peace, friendliness, concord iu our own family?that no alliance, however splendid can bo welcome to us that involves the alienation of the United States. "Its Offence is Rank." 'Why is it, my son, that when you drop your bread and butter, it is always the buttered side down?' 'I don't know. It hadn't ougliter, had it ?

In wet weather it is of gtoat advantage to be able to fodder utider shelter. ' I have , abandoned the practice of salting my hay, except when compelled by stress of weather, to house it before it is thoroughly cured.? My sheep are salted about once a week the year round, and instead of giving them tar as recommended by some persons, I occasionally strew the yard with pine boughs, of which they are fond. I regard tho fall management of lambs one of the most important branches of sheep, husbandry. They should be seperated from their dams about the firet of September, and with a few old sheep, that requires nursing, turned to the best pasture. Care should be taken that they are not stiuted till removed to winter quarters, when they should have a small allowance of grain or oil-meal in addition to a plentiful supply of good hay. As soon as the pasture begins to fail, the ration of grain should be supplied. Ily neglecting to provido suitable pastures for a lot of upwards of 100 very superior lambs one season, I lost the greater part of them the ensuing winter. My utmost efforts, after I discovered tho error, were of no avail. I gave them a comfortable shed, plenty of litter, good hay and a regular allowance of meal, and t'reo access to water; but they never rccovoi ed, and the greater part died before spring. My bucks and ewes are put together about the first of December. The flock which I keep at my home barn, under my own eye, and from which I raise bucks for the supply of rav own, and many of my neighbor s flocks, is managed in this way. The ewes in lots of'20 to .15 are placed in scperate pens, and a select buck is turned into each pen, where .they are kept together 15 or 20 days. The ewes in each pen aie marked with aietter in tar and lampblack to indicate what buck they were served by. At shearing time the best buck lambs arc selected, aud receive* a mark to denote their origin. In my judgement, water is as essential to sheep, as it is to any other animal. They will go through the winter on snow instead of water, and so would man or a horse, if compelled by necessity to do so; but either would prefer to havo it thawed before using it,- rather than perform that office in his bowels. When my sheep run in large flocks without shelter thev were occasionally affected with the scab, hut since I have provided corn foi table sheds for them, they have been troubled with no serious disease. This climate is well suited to sheen.?K. Kirb//, Jeff. Co., iV. in MorrelPi 3fi<p\rrd. (DZJD* Likk anl> Nor Ltkk.?A lawyer at Poughkeepsei was applied to, one time by an indigent neighl>or, for liis opinion on a point of law in which the interests of the latter were materially involved. The lawyer gave his advice, and charged the poor fellow $3 for it., "There is the money said his client, "it is all the money I have in the world and my family has been a long time without pork. "Thank God," replied she lawyer, "my wife never knew the want of pork since we were married." "Nor she never will," rejoined the countryman tartly, "so long as she has such a hog as you are." The lawyer was so pleased'with the smartness of the repartee, that he forgavo the poor fellow and immediately returned him his money. We believe all but the last part. "I didn't say Brtstlrs."?The Louisville Journal relates the following anecdote : We remember that some years ago, Iloger M. Sherman and Perry Smith were opposed to each other us advocates in an important case before a court of justice. Smith opened the case with a violent tirade against Slier-! man's political character. Sherman arose and very coini>o?edly remarked: "I shall not discuss politics with Mr. Smith before the Court, but I am perfectly willing to argue questions of law, to chop logic, or even to split hairs with him." "Split that then," said Smith, at the same time pulling a short rough looking hair from his own head, and handing it over towards Sherman. "May it please the honorable court," retorted Sherman, "I didn't say bristles." "What have you done to further human progress f' asked a sententious philosopher, one day, of Jenkins. Jenkins reply was clear and decisive, "I've produced seven lioVB and two girls, sir." ' The philosopher departed, and, for the first tiiuo in his life?thought.

A country-paper can't understand how the young men of New York City make a living. Out of every 24 hours, 10 are said to be devoted to the fire engine, and the other 8 to "targetshoots."
