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! Where are we drifting? Jon??i,??
i;i,? T.a? i.:~u ?> ?
nuiou, IIB.C, IIUUII, in IllgU iwm IllUlUCSUIUtf.?
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 ?
The strongest ought to be uppermost, hadn't
it ma ? and this yere is the strongest butter
I ever seed 1'
'Hush up; it's somo of your aunt's churnino-?
**o*
'Did she churn it! The great lazy thing!'
'What your aunt!'
'No; this yere butter! To make that
poor old woman churn it, when it is strong
enough to churn itself!'
'Be still, Zibal It only wants working
over.'
Well marra, fies you, when I did it, I'd
put in lots o' molasses !'
'You good for-notliing! I've ate a great

'Well, people o' rank ought to eat it!'
' 4 Why people o' rank!'
'Cause it's rank butter.'
'You vermin you! What makes you talk

Winter Management of Sheep.
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.,

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.
"Twtnb, by the powers 1" cried the
horrorstruck Irishman, as the nurse
approached, bearing a new pledge oT
aticction from his fruitful helpmate."?

that makes ye see double this morning!"

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."

A bakpfr in Vermont is reported
to hay? four wonderful razors :?The
first is so sharp that it goes alone; the
second cuts backwards ; the third cuts
about a quarter of an inch before the
edge; but the fourth is the most curious,
being ground atggWQ miles tinder

them.
Talk about the enjoyment of wealth

abuhdance of money is a heap

and three children, ought to be well

Why it is that mankind?and more pnrtic- ,

ages, is a problem which has never yet been
solved. Speaking of this a few days ?inef? '
a gentleman related, in Course of conversation,
the following anecdote?
Major Ben Russell and Benjamin Bussy,
Esq. met in a barber's shop, towards the
close of their lives.
'Ah, how do you do, old Ben Russell Y
said Mr. Bussy*
'Come, now," replied Major Ben, 'I like
that?especially from you, who arc about
my age,'?which was a truth.
'Upon my word,'replied Mr. Bussy, you're
my senior, by ten year*.'
'Oh, no,'replied Mr. Russell, who after a
moment's thought, as if seeking for a test,
asked?
'What is the first thing you can recollect?'
'The first thing I can recollect,'replied Mr.
