BSW EMM saw tits Klephant. T!wre was a great excitement among tbe boys at Eastwood, for a circus was coming to town that mornlug, and ev ery boy who could possibly raise twen ty Ave cents, and get permission, was going. Tbey had talked nothing else for a week, and It nad seemed to them that the day would never coune. But it bad, and at an early hour the boys trooped oft to High street, to see the wagons and hear the music, aud get glimpse* whenever they could of the animals In cages. The old elephant could not be hidden in a cage, and the boys all voted him the greatest wonder of all, with his big flapping ears and swinging trunk. Oue little fellow in Eastwood could not go—little Hans a German boy. He had heard such stories from the big boys that he was nearly wild to see an elephant. But Hans's mother thougnt he was too small to go without her, and she could not leave her work; so, after a few very salt tears, the little boy brightened up and concluded to make the best of It. He almost forgot his disappointment after dinner, for his mother gave him a pretzel and let him borrow her big wooden spoon. So he sallied forth into the street in front of the house aud be. gan to dig a well He had just begun to eat his pretzel when he spied two tuuible-busrs coming up out of a hole close by. Breaking oft' a bit of his lunch, lie dropped it right in their pAth, and they at once seized it aud began to roil it home. Hans laid down the spoon and cake to watch them. He sat down flat on the ground, seeing how one bug would roll the load almost oyer ®*ith his front leer, and then, turning round, would push with his hind ones till he was tired, when the other would take his turn. Hans thought it was very funny,and watched them till. Just as they were ready for one last push, which would send their load down into the hole, and he was holding his breath to see It plunge, a black cloud seeuied to pass over the sun, and looking up, the terri fied child saw not a cloud, but a great creature with flapping ears, standing right over him! With one scream and two bounds, he landed on the top of a high board fence. It *a the greatest wonder he did not drop to the ground in fright, for there stood Mr. Elephaut looking gravely at him. Hans did not have time to ask him whether he came to watch tumble-bugs or let a little boy have a look at him who could not go to the circus, for just then two men came along with red caps on their heads and long spears in their hands. Mr. Elephant was acquainted with them, so, without wai'ing to say good bye to the little boy perched on the fence, he picked up the rest of the pretzel with the end of his trunk (I pre sume he found it a tough morsel), aud was off in a burry. It was of no use. In a few minutes he was captured, and with one man on his back and the otner leading him, aud a tioop ot boys following him at a safe distance, he was marched back to the circus tent again to finish the per formance. Haas's mother, quietly sewing la her kitchen, was not a little astonished when her son burst in with, "O moder! the ejtant came to see me, he did ; and he shtept on one of mine bugs, and pick up mine pretzel mit his tail. Can 1 have anuder * And this Is the true story of 'How Hans saw the Elephant.' An Eccentric Dake. The "Great Duke of Bridgewater— the epithet was given him for originat ing canals in England—was careless in his dress. He used to carry a large quantity of snuff loose in his waistcoat pocket, whence he would pull out huge pinches and thrust it up his nose. He had no love for the ornamental, and would allow no flower-gardens on his estate. Once, on his return trom a long visit, he found some flowers which had been planted during his absence. Whipping off their heads, he ordered them to be rooted up immediately. He was economical, sometimes parsimo nious, yet when Pitt calied upon the country for contributions to carry on the war against Napoleon, the Duke subscribed one hundred thousand pounds. His kindness to his miners and to others who served him exhibited itself in providing them with comfort able houses, schools for their children, and shops and markets where they might purchase at reasonable rates. Oae of the orders to the superintend ent of hie coal mi tie was, that when ever the supply was deficient, those who came with wheelbarrows, baskets, and aprons, should be served. The buyers with carts and wagons roust wait until the supply became abundant. On one occasion, the Duke, while standing at the ooal-yard. was accosted by a man who hail just filled his sack with coals: "Heigh! mester!" said the man, come, gi'e tne a lift ur' this sack o' coal on my shoulder." Without hesitating, the Duke gave the "lift*" and the man trudged off. "Don' yo know who's that you've been speaking tull?" asked a friend running up to him. "Saw; who is he?" "Why it's the Duke his sen." "The Duke!" exclaimed the man, dropping the ooals. "Hey! what'U he destine? Maun a goo an'ax his par don?" The man started back, but the Duke bad disappeared. 2 ? !^L rtp,<,lv J**™* *>y a •s'sJua'aKtss: sags AGRICULTURE. BEES AND HONET PLANTS.—I had two hundred colonies of hybrid l>ees last autumn, aud L have not lost mora man six. i'h winter having been unusually cool, bees have not been out as much as usual aud consequently los ses have been less. Our bee season commences in February aud continues till near December, giving us a long working season, when we take care to keep a succession of flowers for pastur age. lu September we usually have the greatest drought ot the season and nearly all our wild flowers aie dried up. During this dry season if nothing is prepared by cultivation for pasturage, the bees get scarcely euough to subsist upou. Our lucerne meadows give great help, but generally as soon as the plants get well in blossom, the mower spoils all tbe prospects of honey from that source. In all my experience with bees, 1 And Mignonette the most valua ble tor bee pasturage. This 1 announ ced through tho bee journals several years ago, and coutiuued experience has strengthened that conclusion. That plant bloouis early and continues to blossom till nipped by frost. 1 have not a shade of doubt but that a well cultivated acre ol this plant would give abundant employment for 600 colonies. Sweet clover comes next to Miguouettee in value for bees. There is little doubt but that this p.ant will yield honey faster than Miguouette, but being a perennial, it costs double what the oth er does that blossoms annually and is self-seeding alter having oiice been started. There is still another very valuable plant fot bees, known AS the "American bee plant" that was intro duced Into the east in 1858. it grows in sand. Is a wonderful bloomer and honey-produccr, but the honey from it lacks tiie line flavor of that collected from the first-named plants. BARNYARD AND ARTIFICIAL FERTILI ZERS. —lu a recent address iu England n ouemlatrv iu its relations to agricul ture, Mr. J*. B J.awes submitted the following general conclusions arrived at by experiments. That a mineral superphosphate of lime has given a considerable increase in each crop of a rotation, although used without any other manure lor a period of thirty years. That in consequence ol grains containing large quantities of nitrogen and phosphoric acid and small quanti ties of potash, mauurea containing sol uble phosphoric acid and soluble nitro gen, as ammonia or nitro acid, are es pecially applicable to these crops. Thai where crops containing large quantities of potash, such as roots, potatoes, ami hay, are sold off the farm, manures containing potash, such as purchased dungs, appear to be more suitable. That although potash, phosphoiic acid, and nitrogen are tiie ohlei manure in gredients in farmyard dung, in the manure from artificial loods, and iu artificial manures, still the differences iu form in which these substances are met with greatly affect their value; the present method of analyzing manure does not properly recognize these dis tinctions, and the valuations founded upon these analyses are altogether false and erroneous. CULTURE or CABBAGE. —Since the ad vent of the cabbage worm almost every one has been at a loss to know w hat to do .o raise a few cabbages. Sorue have tried oue thing and some have tried another, and mostly to no purpose. Last year 1 set about three hu nil rod and thirty-five plants, and picked oft' the worms by hand as they came, for about two weeks which took some two hours each day. This seeuied to be too much work, aud as 1 have a well of soft water near by, I took a five-pail, kettle, set it near the well, put into it a pint of soft soap and the same of salt, and then fill ed it up with water. I let this stand till the water was warmed by the sun, and then Miter stirring it up well, 1 took my wuter-pot and applied it at the rate ol about a gallon to forty heads, putting it in the center, i did this every day and the result was 1 had the iiicest aud hardest cabbages that were ever raised. 1 had no trouble to get ten cents per head although cabbage was very cheap here. Some make a practice of buying their plants, but I wonid not give one cent per hundred unless I knew what 1 was gettiug. SOME yeors ago I was detained in re turning home by a bread in the railroad, requiring a detour of some twenty miles. In order to make this 1 hired a buggy and driver. But the horse proved a most aggravating balker. He balked when there was no possible rea son or occasion for it. When we were at a certain point striving in vain to set the beast going, either by the argument of persuasion or blows, an Adams ex press wagon came along. The driver jumped off his seat, took the whip and gently touched the animal under the belly, back and near the foreleg, and immediately the horse went on his way. We tried it repeatedly afterwards, and always with success. To DESTROY BURDOCKS. —The bur dock is a biennial and produces seed the second summer, after which the plant dies, Allow tliem to make a full grow'h, getting nearly ripe; then cut, gather together before the seed is dry enough to shell out in handling and burn. If cut before fully developed, cheated nature persistently exerts her self in the reproduction of burdocks, throwing out shoots as often as destroy ed and will set with seed until frost ends the struggle; whereas if allowed to mature the tirst crop they die easily. This plan, if followed two years, w ill leave but few plants. "PICKLED" BEED-CORN.—It cannot be too widely known that seed-corn can be effectually 'pickled' without risk to rooks and other birds, and witli sav ing to the farmer. The following is the recipe: For a sack of corn (four bushels) take half a pint of gas tar, one pound of vitrol, and one gallon of hot water; pour the liquid well mixed, over the seed with a common watering pot twelve tiours before sowing. If seed-corn of any kind is thus treated rooks will not touch it, for they, as well as other birds, appear to have a great dislike to the tar. The expense of crow keepers is also by this plan avoided. PASTURE IN SPRING. Great care should be exercised in making the change from hay to grass diet. A good plan is to turn cattle into a home pas ture for a few hours a day for two or three weeks, feeding also hay; they will thus be prepared for living on grass alone, and having become accus tomed by moderate exercise to walking, they will drive more readily.

CABBAGE WORMS. —Hot water thrown upon the plants will kill the cabbage worm. Be careful that It 1s not hot enough to scald the cabbages. A mar ket gardener who grows cabbage on a large scale recommends a mixture of twenty parts of superphosphate of lime, one part of carbolic powder and time parts of fresh air slaked lime, a small handful of which should be scattered over each head. TREATMENT OK BOlLS. —Boils should be brought to a head by warm poultices of Camomile flowers or boiled white lily root, or onion root by fomentation with hot water, or by stimulating plas ters. When ripe they should be de stroyed by.a needle ora lancet, but this should not be attempted until they are full}' proved.

A Teutonic Iriend of ours, whose wife had just died, went to the undertaker's to get the necessary colli n. "How much is dem coffin dings .'"in quired the man from Germany. "Two hundred dollars," said the un dertaker. "Two hundred tollars!" repeated the Dutchman. "Dot's more as I've got." "Well, that's my price," said the un dertaker. "You don't got some second-handed coffins, aint it?" asked the Teuton. The man of coffins explained it to him that he never used them over again. "What! never?" said our friend. •♦Well hardly ever," exclaimed_the undertaker. •♦What! never? well hardly never most never seldom always. "What kind of language is dose?" said the Dutchman in a rage, and then he added, "I guess I vait dill dimes get a leedle petter," and he departed with out his coffin. HUMOROUS. DIDN'T HAVE A PAIR.— Two of the 4porting fraternity, recently became engaged In a game of poker with a big, raw-boned, green-looking stranger, and, as sometime* will happen when professionals are playing, the stranger found himself looking at four oueens, while Smith had lour kings and Jones calmly regarded four aces—the best hand. The betting was pretty lively, and Hnally the stranger called for a "sight," ai> all his money was up, and said he had four queeus. Smith said, "No good—l've got four kings." "The thunder you have I" yelled the strauger, and let fly his right tint, about the size of a peck of walnuts, plump between Smith's eyes, knocking him across the room. "What have you got?" sneered the stranger to Jones. With a glance at that big fist, Jones hastened to reply, "Oil, I haven't got anything: I was only bluttlng," and the stranger raked in the "pot," and, as he departed, he was heard to mutter : "You can't wring in any cold decks on me!" HONORED AND RLKSSKD.— When a board of emineut physicians and chem ists announced the discovery that bv combining some well known valuable remedies, the most wonderlul medicine was produced, which would cpre such a wide range of diseases that most all other remedies could be dispensed with, many were sceptical; but proof of its merits by actual trial has dispelled all doubt, and to-day the discoverers of that yreat medicine.

Isn't that a lovely rose? Just admire it's beautiful color," said she. "And am 1 not admiring its beautiful culler?" and as his arm quietly crept around her waist, there was the rosiest hue flushed across her face, and—well, you would have been next to ecstasy if you had been a look er-on. A GENTLEMAN having mounted, for the flrst time, a pair of eye-glasses, an old friend remarked; "So you have come to eye-glasses at last?" "Well, yes I put them on occasionally,", was the reply. "Eyes beginning to fail you, eh?" "No, not at all. My eves are just as good as they were when 1 was a boy, but 1 dou't think the light is quite as good." A MAN Intruded into an Irishman's shanty some lime ago. "What do you want?" asked Pat. "Nothing," was tiie visitor's reply. "Then you'll fltnl It in the jug bey ant where the whisky was." AN old miser having listened to a powerful discourse on charity, said: "That sermon so strongly proves the necessity of almsgiving, that I've al most a mind to beg."

EVEN children bear arms—when they are vaccinated. Safety from Lightning. It is never too soou to go into the house when a storm is rising. When the clouds are fully charged with elec tricity they are most dangerous, and this fluid obeys a subtle attraction which acts at great distances and in all directions. A woinun a told me of a bolt which came down her mother's chim ney from a rising cloud when the sun was shining overhead. N. P. Wltlis writes of a young girl killed while pass ing under a telegraph wire on the brow of a hill, while she was hurrying home before a storm. People should not be foolhardy about sitting on porches or by open windows, whether the storm is hard or not. Mild showers often carry a single charge which falls with deadly effect. It may or it may not be fatal to stay out; It is safe to be in the house with the windows and doors shut. The dry air in a house is a read ier conductor of lightning than the damp air outside, and a draught of air invites it. A hot fire in a chimney at tracts it, so to speak, and it is prudent for tho who would be sure of safety to use erosene or gas stoves in summer and avoid heating the chimneys of the house. People are very ignorant or reckless about lightning. 1 have seen a girl of eighteen crying with fear of lightning, and running every other moment to the window to see if the storm was not abating, unconscious that she was putting herself in danger. If every one would hurry to shelter as soon as a storm cloud was half way up the sky, when certain it was coming nearer, if they would shut the doors and windows, and keep away from theiri atterward, and from bell wires, stovepipes, mantels, chimney breasts, heaters and mirrors, with their silvered backs which carry electricity, and keep away from lightning rods and their vicinity, and from metal water spouts with good rods on their houses, they might dismiss the fear of lightning from their minds, so far as it U a thing of reason and not of impression. —There were 103 earthquakes in 1878, thirty-nine of which occurred in Win ter, and twenty-six in Autumn.
