This Ls._ a mistake. Wish beaus, as wi?h?otfcer plants, -poor soil brings poor .crops. Any good, mellow soii, in good heart, will raise a profitable crop of b?a?s.

The impor? tant point in raising a profitable crop of beans is thorgugh ccltrvation. Those who try Jo Taise a crop df weeds and a crop o? -beana on the same land, find - that it ches not pay. At-harvest time ii ft iHSkait to pull Che beans from amesg the weeds. A common method 4s to mark oct the land two feet apart each way and drop four er fire beans at paco check er bril. Ethers, on good - land, plant closer, making the drills eighteen inches apart, and dropping the seeds singly, every six -or eight inches in the drill. The soil being right, and a goad stan** secured, the crop depends upon thorough enervation and weeding. It is well known, that Reworking of the beans 'while the plants wre wet with dew er rain, has an unfavorable effect, cans ?cg the leaves; to rast. The variety to be sown wHl depend upon the market to be sapplied. As -a rale the White : Marrow is the most profitable crop. F Shis 4s excellent for the table when ??helled green, and near a market a por? tion of the crop may be profitably dis? posed of in this state. The average . <rop is twenty to thirty bushels of shell? ed beaus to thc acre, and under favora? ble conditions, forty bushels have been harvested. In most Northern ioca?ities, ? if sown fey the 20th of Jo Be, beans will ' perfect a crop.-American A-gri&altu rist. Children's Feet aad Small Shoes.

Ia England, one day, a farmer at work, io his Gelds saw a party of hunts? men riding over his farm. He had a field in which the wheat was jost coming up, and he was anxious that the gentle? men should not go into that, as the trampling of the horses and dogs would spoil the crop. So he sent one of his farmhands, a bright young boy, to shot the gate of that field and to keep guard over it. He told him that he must on oo account permit the gate to be open eat Sc&rely Bid the*Bby fetfefred the f?nlijtirifl nlnr-iith^ifjf ph rn J li ir lr ifh tere come?aUoning ajTAjtfd^fr bjnf?rto open it. This the boy lechnedLto do. "Master," said he, "hasiordered me to permit no one to pasa through this gate, and I can neither open it myself nor allow any ooe else to do so." First one gentleman threatened to thrash him if he did not opeo it ; then another offered him a sovereign ; but all to no effect. The brave boy was I neither to be frightened nor bribed. I Then a graod and stately gentleman came forward and said. t4My boy, do you not know me ? I am the Duke of Wellington-one not accustomed to be disobeyed ; and I command you to open that gate, that ?I and my friends may pass." -The boy took off his hat to the great man whom all England delighted to honor, aod answered : "I am sure the Duke of Wellington would oot wish me to disobey orders. I most keep this gate shut, nor permit any ene to pass without my master's express permis? sion." The brave old warrior was greatly pleased at the boy's answer, and lifting his own hat, he said : "I honor the man or the boy who can neither be bribed nor frightened into doing wrong. With an army of such soldiers, I could conquer, not only the French, but .the whole world.'" The ?party then ^galloped "away ; and the boy ran off to his work, shouting at the top of, his voice, Hurrah ! burrah for the Dake of Wellington. Now, childr?n "the very first duty of love is to-be true. Before you are kind, be sure you are true. From your lips, speak the truth ! In your minds, think the troth ! in your hearts, love the truth ! In your lives, live the truth !" aod all will be well with yoo. Presbyterians.
