told* aboi't rcEi The season is at hZZ -hen the fuel ques tion will be of importance to the farmer. Those who with forethought and labor pro vided at the proper season for such work a sufficiency, are in good condition to look white winter in the face : but if jour fuel lor the ensuing six months is yet standing in the forest, his grim countenance utsy be stigges tive of snowy work and sputtering fires thai go out on a road which is hard tor yon to travel. Some dry wood can he glean. J by gathering the dead poles and trees before deep snow fall. and there is one comfort in this work, which is that yon are thereby effecting a sat ing of more valuable timber ttud bringing your forest into a better state of culture. Af ter this you can select the best kinds of wood for burning green : probably hickory stands foremost, then maple and bcecli ; oak is per haps the voret of all common wood for burn ing iu an unseasoned state, yet when well seasoned under cover, is one ot the very best, ranking next to hickory. It the time is short iu which to season the fuel, -phi it tine and pile it out of doors in a sit: aliori well exposed to sun and wind. It is best to put only one ot at most, two tiers in a place, as this gives the wind better action ou the wood, ily timely and efficient action in the matter, with some aid from the stove oven to dry the morning supply, Otic con gol aloug nutl ll'Jl SUflftjr HC riously from lack of dry wood. Often there is a partial supply of the latter on hand, in which case it is best to eke it out by mixing green with it, but in any case make and keep one good resolution, namely, to provide this winter plenty of cut fuel to last one year. Ax ou> Farmer's Slatk.— Writing about improvements reminds me that a farmer does not always think of what is needful and mai .be done when leisure time occurs, aud it re calls to my mind the practice of a large and successful farmer, who at his death left his affairs in a prosperous condition, and his premises in complete order. His neighbors often wondered at the ease with which he conducted his operations; he never hur ried, but the right thing was always done ai the right time and his work never lagged. Much of the improvement he made was in odd spells when the routine of regular farm work was broken by rainy weather, or after finish ing the work on a crop, and while waiting for another to get to the proper stage. He kept a large slate hanging iu the kitchen where all his workmen could see it, and whenever a job occurred to hira it was noted on the slate. For instance some of his entries ran thus, — '• Make a gate for the brook lot; " " Clean out the open ditch in the wheat field; " " Lay a new floor on the serffold over the barn floor ;" " Bury the large stone in the middle lot;" "Get some whitewood trees to mill for making garden fence pickets;" " I'lantshade trees along the road side " Dig the alders out of the fence corners and look after the wild mustard that came up where the thrash ing machine stood in the field last year." In this way his slate was filled, aud if a leisure half day occurred his men all had plenty of work; and if the master bappend to be absent the slate told the workmen what to do. After a time it was his custom to lay out the day's work on the slate each eveninar previous, aud when a job was finished the record was erased. To get the slate clean was the ambition of the workmen. A shocking thing to think of—a gal vanic j battery. . I VICE stings even in pleasure, but virtue coti eoles even in our pain. IF a man's wife is well bred, he never wants any but-her. True goodness is iike the glowworm ; it shines most when no eyes except those of heaven are upon it. Some one says that going to law is mighty cold business ; for ail you ever gel is but just ice, and sometimes you don't get that. AT a recent railroad celebration, the follow ing sentiment was given : " Our motherB — the only faithful tenders who never misplaced a switch." " The only liberty cap," says a clever and witty author, *' is a night-cap ; in it men visi one-third of their lives, the land of sleep— the only land where tbey are always free and iequal." A LAWYER, who from a very humble station bad risen to become a peer of the realm, be ng asked why bis arms were not emblazoned on the panels of his carriages, replied, "Be cause my carriages are older than my nobili ty." A LADY who bad espoused an old and ill-tempered husband, who was extremely rich, used to say; "Whenever I find my temper giving way. I console myself by re tiring from the presence of my husband, and reading the marriage settlement." A WEALTHY bishop congratulated a poor curate on the good air he breatheed in his parish—to which the latter replied: "Yes, my lord, the air would be good enough if I could only live on it." AMONG the patents granted lately, was one to a jersey man for "improved composi tion for sausages." We have heard of a mixture of dog, red flannel and turnips as a composition for sausage, but it is not likely that it was ever patented. What the improve ment may be we are at loss to imagine. SOME years ago a clergyman was preaching to a large audience in a wild pnrt of Illinois and announced for his text: "In my Father's house are many man sions." He had hardly read the words when an eld coon stood np and said! " I tell you folks, that's a lie! I know bis father well. He lives fifteen miles from Old Kentuck, in an old log cabin, and there ain't & t one room in the house." NOT many years since, in West Plymouth, t used to be the custom for the school, master to" board round" among the families of his pupils so as to save expense. Sometimes of course, the days did not come out quite even-there would be eight days and a half at one place and nine at another. One man, who was notorious for his meanness, just before the schoolmaster begau his dinner. said to him, " Mr. , I sup pose by rights j your time is up just about half way through ! this dinner. That s as near as I kin calcu late, and I have calculated pretty close. But I don t wish to be small about it, and you kin eat just about as much ag you would do for ordinary." % fpl llotirf.

The inte-est on there bonds is paid by the United State.- government, which also pays the com pat r one-half the amount of its bibs in money for trans porting its freight, troops, mails, Ac. The re maining half of these bills is placed to the com pany's credit, and forms a sinking fund which uiay finally discharge toe whole amount of this lien.

Active inquiry has already been made for a porti n of these lands, and arrangem- nf- arem w proposed to offer a part of them for sale. While their whole value will not be available for some years to come, they will remain a very important source of revenue to the Company. The lands of the Illinois Central Railroad Company are sel ling at from $1 to sl2 p'Cr acre, and other land grant companies in the West are receiving equal prices for similar properties. FUTURE BUSINESS. The most skeptical have never expressed a doubt that when the 1 ti. -n Pacific Railroad is finished the immense business that must flow over it. a- the only railroad connecting the two grand divisions of the North American continent, will be one of the wonders of railway transportation: and as ic will have no competitor it can always charge remunerated rates.
