DON'T LEAVE THE FARM.
Como boys, I hare something to tell yon.
Come near, X would whisper it low—
You are thinking of leaving the homestead,
Don't be in a hurry to go.
The city has many attractions,
But think of the vices and sins,
When once in the vortex of fashion,
How soon the course downward begins.
You talk of the mines of Australia,
They're wealthy in gold, without doubt,
But ah ! there is geld on the farm, boys,
If only you'll shovel it out,
The mercantile life is a hazard,
The goods are first high, and then low,
Better risk the old farm a while longer,
Don't be in a hurry to go.
The great busy West bas inducements,
And so has the busiest mart.
But wealth is not made in a day, boys,
Don't be in a hurry to start. m
The bankers Bud brokers are wealthy,
They take in the thousands or so,
Ah ! tbiuk of the fraud and deceptions.
Don't be in a hurry to go !
The farm is the safest and surest,
The orchards are loaded to-day,
You're free as the air of the mountains,
And monarch of all yon survey.
Better stay on the farm a while longer.
Tbongh profits should come rather slow.
Remember you've nothing to risk, boys,
Don't be in a hurry to go.
PLANTJN'G OUTSTRAWBERRJKS.
We have no time to answer individual in
quiries in relation to garden crops. We try
to inform all, so tar as we are able to do so,
how we manage things successfully, aud they
can follow us if they see proper.
As to planting out strawberries, about
which we have many inquirers, there are sev
eral ways. Of course the ground must be
dug a good depth, and pulverized carefully,
having applied a liberal quantity of barnyard
manure. The beds can be marked out three
feet wide and made as long as may be desired.
Let the foot-paths between the beds be eigb
teen inches apart and remove from them all
the runners as fast as they encroach. Set
the plants firmly in the ground, one foot
apart each way. Get the Trioraphe de Gand
which is ot mixed sexes and Hovey's Seed
ling, which is a pistillate, aud plant them in
alternate beds, but do not let them mix, which
they will do if the vines are allowed to cross
the paths. Some persons may prefer Rus
sell's Prolific, which is an excellent variety,
or Jucnnda. which cannot well be beaten.
Either of these can be substituted tor Triom
phe, if Hovey is retained, which we would
advise, as there is no berry more certain to
give a crop, or which is handsomer in ap
pearance, which will bear as many years
without renewing the bed, or which is much
superior.
Many persons prefer the hill system of
planting out strawberries, and with some very
strong-growing varieties it may possibly be
the best. But from our own experience we
prefer the broadcast planting. It has several
advantages. The plants keep the ground
moister, it requires less labor, and the beds
last twice as long by producing new bearing
plants every year. In the hills the old plants
are fruited year after year, and as a conse
quence the berries yearly get smaller.
One thing must be particularly borne in
mind: the beds must be kept clear of weeds,
for if they are allowed to get headway they
will seriously damage the crop. Late in au
tumn the beds should be covered with light
manure, and in the spring the coarsest
portion should either be removed or carefully
placed about the plants.
There is no more trouble to cultivate a bed
of strawberries than there is abed of onions
or cabbage, and this we wish all those who
do not raise the delicious fruit to remember.

MARCH is the great month for all sorts of I
work, preparatory to the great results of the ;
year. Make haste with every thing that can j
be done this month, but do not plow clav j
lauds when wet; they had better not be plowed
at all. Get in oats as early as possible, and do I
not fail to sow clover seed after the oats arc
harrowed in.
W KILE ten men watch for chances, one i
man makes chances ; while ten men wait for |
something to turn up, one turns something !
up; so while ten fail, one succeeds and is j
called a man of lnc'i, the favorite of fortune.
1 here is no luck like, pluck, and fortune ■
most favors those who are most indifferent to i
fortune.
TIIE property of the country is enhanced j
in value by improved roads. From field to ;
market there should be the fewest hills, no j
loose stones or needless sand.
THE square form in building gives the
cheapest inside room. Too many little ■
structures are a great tax on the owner.
A HARXESS is stronger, and more comfort- |
able, aid lasts better, when kept soil and j
pliable with neats-foot oil.
HOSPITALITY provides a good tie-post with I
chain and spring hook, where the guest may ;
safely fasten his steed.
IHE stomach of ih Q swine resembles the
human; therefore his need f or warm , cooked
food.
Ix planting trees set them no lower in the
ground than they stood in the nursery.
GRAFTING is to be done when the buds on
the stock show signs of starting.
WE are all Adam's children but silk makes
the difference.
WHAT nation produces marriage? Why,
Fascination.
How sweet to recline in the laps of ages —
say about eighteen.
A WASTE of raw material—two young la
dies kissing each other.
Some fishermen use cotton for bait; so do
some women.
"Charley, what makes you so sweet?" "1
dess when Dod made me of dust, he put a
little thugar in."
PI.EASIRE is seldom found where it is
sought. Our brightest blazes of gladness are
commonly kindled by unexpected sparks.
Isn't a woman wet enough with a cataract
in her eye, a watterfall on her head, a creek
in her back, forty springs in her skirts, high
tied shoes, and a notion in her head?
SOUR one speaking of a highly ornamented
house, whose propietor was not particularly
hospitable, said, "I like to see less gilding
and more earring."
As urchin suffering from the application of
the birch said: "Forty rods are said to be a
furlong. 1 know belter. Let anybody get
sueli a licking as I have had, and he 11 iitid
out that one rod make 3 an acher."
A LOVER vainly trying to explain some
scientific theory to his fair inamorata, said,
"The question is difficult and 1 don't see
what I can do to make it clear." "Suppose
you pop it." whispered the blushing dam
sel.
A MAX who had filed a petition for di
vorce was informed by his counsel that his
wife had filed a "cross petition," ns luw
yers call it. "A cross petition," exclaimed
the husband, "that's just like her. She never
did a good natured thing in her life."
'I say, boy is there anything to shoot about
here?' inquired a sportsman of a boy lie met.
'Well,' replied the boy, 'nothingjust about
here, but our schoolmaster is just over the hill
there cutting birch rods; you might walk up
and pop him over.'
"Well, Jim, how did you make it down
South?" First-rate. Made pleutvofmoney."
"Whatdid you do with it?" "Laid it out in
houses andlots." "Where?" "Everyplace
f have been where there were any." "What
kind of houses and lots?'- "Coffee houses
and lots of Whiskey."
A YANKEE made a bet with a Dutchman
that he could swallow him. The Dutchman
lay down on a table, and the Yankee, taking
his big toe in his mouth, nipped it severely. !
"Oh, you are biting me," roared the Dutch
man.
"Why, you idiot," said the Yankee, "did
you think I was going to swallow you whole."
A BERKSHIRE Paper says that a fellow in
that vicinity went courting his girl on Monday
evening, and wishing to be conversational,
obsarved : The thermomokron is twenty de
grees below zelon this evenin," "Yes," in
nocently replied the maiden, "such kind of
birds do fly higher somo seasons of the year
than others."
A WESTERN' Hoosier called on a boat cap
tain to sell him a saddle of mutton :
'Says, Captain, don't you want to buy a
nice saddle of mutton to-day ?'
'No I would as soon eat dirt,' replied the
Captain.
'Well,' said the Hoosier, 'tis according to
how a man has been raised. -Vote I would
rather eat mutton /'
A XATCBAI.IST wanted to take a monkey with
him in a railway carriage from Southampton
to London, but the guard of the train insisted
that the monkey was a dog, and must go up
in the dog van. The naturalist, in high irri
tation, took a tortoise out of his coat pocket,
and demanded ifthat too Were a dog. Where
upon the guard, like a true Briton, slowly but
| firmly replied, "No, sir, them's all right; them
be hinsex.
MR. PHI pes, the well known teacher of
Middlesex county, relates a little conversation
at one of our State normal schools, with an
English snob who was admiring the versatile
young ladies. "Pray tell me," said he, "are
these privileges confined to the wealthy clas
ses, or do the lowly poor share them?" "All
share alike," was the reply. "Pray, then,"
returned the English inquirer, "what do you
do for servants?" "Oh, we import them
from England!" It was enough.
THE earliest French professional fool on
j record seems to have been named Jean, at
j the eourt of Charles the Simple, of whom I)r.
Doran tells us some anecdote. The good
fellow's influence was so great that Charles
j once remarked tp him he thought they had
| better change places. As Jean did not look
| well pleased at the proposal, Charles asked
him if he was not content at the idea of be
ing a king. "Yes, content enough," was the
reply, "but I should be exceedingly ashamed
jat having such a fool." '
| A SMALL boy out west was assisting his
• father to mark sheep with paint and brush.
J The father would catch asheep and say to the
boy, "Mark that. After the job was done,
| the boy started for his home, which was some
I distance, and was overtaken by a minister on
! horseback, who seeing the boy barfoot, invit
led him to ride behind him. After the boy
. was seated he began to catechise him thus:
| "My lad, do you attend the Sabbath School?"
j "No!" was the reply.
"You should attend the Sabbath School,
i mark that? All good children should attend
both church and Sabbath School, mark that!"
| After many more remarks of this kind the
j boy replied;
"I have marked your back all over now,
and it looks like thunder."
The reverend gentleman was somewhat as
j tonished, when be examined his coat.
