Away from cities and populous places it Is impossible to keep up the fertility ol the land to make it pay un less the produce is chiefly consumed by the live stock and converted into meat, milk, wool, or animals for use by other people, as payment to the farmer for his time and cap ital, and transmuted into manure as a reward to the land, without which return no farm can be kept in condition good enough to pay fur cultivation. This is the first secret of success full farming away from places where it an swers to send to market bay, straw, garden stuff, Ac., but there are others which unfold themselves in the course of raising and feed ing. The next in importance is to manage so that no time may be lost in the growth of the young, and to house and feed in such a manner as to carry on the improvement wrought in summer through the Autumn, Winter and Spring: after which the grand secret is to breed and raise such animals only as command the highest market price, which is as easily done as to continue breeding an unthrifty and unprofitable race. If a fanner has a useful common grade stock, healthy and good breeders, milkers, Ac., but the progeny never selling for more than barely sufficient to enable him to pay his way, just reckon the difference it would make to him if he went to a good breeder, say of Short-Horn for instance, and bought a bull, minding when purchasing to sou tho dam of the animal he selects, for if he wants milk as well** meat, he must sea that she gives some; then when his bull's stock comes into the herd, taking the place of the old ones, he will reap an advantage every w:ty. It will be the same with sheep: the laying out of something extra for a ram or rams from a first-rate flock, will add to his wool and mut ton, as also cause his future young ones to come to maturity earlier, and. waat will be of great consequence to the farmers of this coun try for years to come, these better bred ani mals can be brought out fat at that season of the year when all common stock is low in flesh, and all varieties of meat sell for 20 or 30 per cent, more than at other times. Live stock and plenty of it. is the great preven tive to a farm running out. and to the owner becoming poor; it will brighten the faculties of a bad farmer, and draw out the latent pow ers of mind which have been rusting fcryears, for with a heavy stock of all rinds of cattle and sheep, he has to forecast for each day, week, month and year: aye, and for more than a year.— Country Gentleman. THE FARM Farming is a profession, not to say a science. If any one doubts this statement let him leave bis city home—for no one bred in the country will doubt it—and undertake to cultivate even a garden of half an acre for the summer. He will then find that knowledge U as essential to the right use of the spade as of the pen, and there is as great a difference between the scientific fanning of Flanders, where literally not a weed is to be seen, and that of many of our farmers, the wealth of whose soil is ahont equally divided between fruits and weeds, as between the trade of a modern commercial city and the barter of a back-woods settlement. It is true that agri cultnre has been iast to receive the impetus of modern science. It is true that many eg ricnlturists are content to go on in the ways of their fathers, because experiments are costly. But it is also true that they are una ble to compete with thoee who umleretwrul the use of new instruments, methods, and fer tilizers. Agricu'tare is also becoming in this country a popular recreation. Many a get: tleman is content to spend on his country seat money which he makes in the connting room. The practical farmer is thus able to get the benefit of experiments without paying for them. This change in agriculture, which has converted it fiom drudgery to an art. ha? created a demand f>r ac-responding litera ture. "Fifty years ago a stable agricultural periodical did not exist on the American Continent." Now every considerable dis trict bas one. while almost every weekly pa per, secular or religious, liasits agricultural department: and it will nut be long before something of a library will be a part of the furniture of every well-ordered turru. — Har per's Magazine. THE CULTURE OF FLOWERS. It has been said that few things tends to express the character and fortunes of indi viduals more thau the appearance of the win dow blinds, and the brightness and rlean!.- ness of the windows of their dwellings. Nothing can be more true; and we cannot but feel, when tbis is admitted, that the same line of reasoning will be allowed with regard to flowers. If we pass by a house, even though it be in a narrow, confined thorugh fare, and sec upon its window sills bright rows of pots filled with gay geraniums aud bell-formed fuschias, we suppose that surely in that house tbere must live some one whose mind is not wholly choked up aud deadened with the dust of the city—one to whom the liuks are not yet entirely severed, which bind the heart to the loveliness of nature, and who still appreciates with a tender care the sweet est and most beautiful of hSr creation. Or, perhaps, our thoughts taking a sudden turn, mey imagine that some lone hearted creature, who may have been lettered to his chamber tor months or years by lingering maladies, flies trom his own racking pains and thoughts, and seeks among those very flowers which seem so gay and indicative of youth and bap py hearts to us, solace and delight, which simple things like these 'often render to the wretched hearted and weary. Wherever flowers are seen carefully tended, we may be sure there will be found people of a refined mind. No one who has not a gentle and a tender heart can truly love flowers j and any one who really does so. worships, it may be unconsciously, the Eternal One who formed them. SHEEP SKIN MATS.—The following is for two skins, and if the directions are faithfully followed wiil make something nice : Make strong soap-suds, using hot water, and let it stand till cold; then wash the skins in it, carefully squeezing the dirt from among the wool: then wash tbeni in cold water till the soap is oat. Next dissolve baif a pound each of salt and alum in a little hot water, and put into a tub of cold water sufficient to cover the skins, and let them soak twelve hours, then hang over a pole to draiu. When well J trained stretch carefully ou a hoard to dry. S.retch several times while drying. Before they get entirely dry sprinkle on the flesh side one ounce each of finely pulverized alum and salt pet re, rubbing it in well; then lay the flesh sides together and bang in the shade for two or three , nrtli tJjem over ttll perfectly dry. Finish by scraping the flesh side with a blunt knife, to remove any remaining scraps Of flesh, and then rub the flesh side with pumice or rotten stone aud the hands. Very beautiful mittens can be made of lamb skins tanned as above. CLOSE ROOMS.—People should not sleep io close rooms at any season of" the year, but more particularly at this set son. Those who fear the night air should remember that there is no air but night air at night, whether it comes in by the window or any other place.

'"YorR bachelors ought to be taxed,"' said a lady to a resolute evader of the nooso mat rimonial. 'T agree with you madam," was the retdy ; "bachelorism is a great luxury."

"What's that?" "Why, she washes my face every morn ing." A yousg fellow eating some Cheshire cheese, full of skippers, at a tavern one night, exclaimed: "Now I have doue as much as Sampson, fur 1 have slain my thousands and tens of thousands." "Yes," retorted anoth er, "and with a jaw bone of an ass." A sTi vp speaker exclaimed: "I know no North, no South, no East, no West, fellow citizens!"

"how evil communications corrupt good manners. I have been surrounded by tumb lers all evening, and now I am a tumbler my self."

Want ing to go on a visit to a small town a short distance from the city, she thought she would try one of the pesky things. She went to the ticket office, carrying her reticule on cne arm and an old-fashioned rocking chair ou the other. She bought her ticket, walked out on the platform, put down her rockiDg chair, sat down in it, took out her knitting' and went to work dilligently. Steadily she rocked ami worked, trains coming in or leav* ing as the car time came around. The old lady made no attempt to get on the cars, but kept kuitting. The day drew to a close, and night came on. The last train was about starting, when the depot master went up and asken her if she was going out. '•Yes, sir, 1 ' replied the lady. Hadn't you better go on board and secure a seat!" said the depot master. Thank you, sir, I'm very comfortable," replied the elderly dame. The train left. The master came around again. "Madam, I shall have to disturb you ; it is late ; the trains have all left, and we must close the depot, shall I send you to a ho tel f '•Well ' exclaimed the old lady, dropping her knitting and holding up her hands, "ain't Use thing going to move ?

For two months previous to Feb. 25th, last, 1 was suffering intensely with pain so severe, that during all that time I had not one night of comfortable sleep. I could not put my hands to my face, could not comb my own hair, nor feed myself: but after having the Pain Cure applied once, I found relief enough to give me comfortable sleep, and with its steady use, I con tinued to get better, and now at the end of ten weec.s from its first application, I have compara tively free use of my bands, sleep well and can attend to business.

Probably never before in the whole history of medicine, hat anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through along series of years, and among most of the races of men it has risen higher aad higher in their estimation, as it baa become better known. Its uniform character and power to cure the vari ous affections of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder forms of disease and to young children, it is at the same timo the most effectual remedy that can be given for incipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the throat and lungs. As a provision, against sudden attacks of Croup, ir should be kept on hand in ev ery family, and indeed as all are sometimes sub. ject to coids and coughs, all should be provided with this antidote for them. Although settled consumption is thought incur able, still great numbers of cases where the dis ease seemed settiea, have been completely cured and the patient restored to sound health "by the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery over tho disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. When nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral they subside and disappear. Singers and public speakers find great protec tion fiom it. Asthma is always relieved and oflcn wholly cured by it. Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses. So generally are its virtues knowt. that we need not publish the eertificates of them here, or do more than assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained. AYER S AGUE CURE. For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague, Period ical or Bilious Fever, Ac., and indeed all the affections which arise from mala rious, marsh, or miasmatic poisons. As its name implies, it does CURE, and doe, not fail. Containing neither Arsenic, Quinines Bismuth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poison ous substance whatever, it in nowise injures ay patient. The number and importance of its cures in the ague districts, are literally beyond account and we believe without a parallel in the history of Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowledgments we receive of the radieal cures effected in obstinate cases, and where other reme dies had wholly failed. I'nacclimated persons, either resident in, or travelling through miasmatic localities, will be protected by taking the AGUE CURE daily.
