No one need be told at this day that good land is cheaper than poor—that tbe former may be bought more cheaply thau it can be made. Yet this, like most troths, may be given undue emphasis. It should be consid ered in the light of the less obvious truth that every farmer may make advantageous use of SOME poor land. The smallest farm should have its atrip or bell of forest; the larger should have an abundance aud variety of trees; and sterile, stony land grows many if not roost trees thriftily. Even at the risk of aronsing Western prejudice, I mairtaia that New England, and ail broken, billy rocky countries, have a decided advantage (abun dantly counter balanced, no doubt) over re gions of great fertility and nearly uniform facility, in that human stupidity end mole eyed greed can never wholly divest them ot forest—that their sterile crags and steep ac clivities mast mainly be left to wood forever. Avarice tnay strip them of their covering of to day; but, defying tbe plow and tbe spade, they cannot be so denuded that they will not be speedily reclothed with trees and foilage. 1 am not a believer that "Five Acres" or "Ten Acres" suffice for a farm. I know where money is made on even fewer than five acres; but they who do it are few, and men of ex ceptional capacity and diligence. Their acbievmer.ts ai*e necessarily confined to the vicinage of cities or manufacturing villages. The great majority of all who live by Agri culture want room to turn upon want to grow grass and keep stock,—and, for such, no mere garden or potato patch will answer. They want genuine farms. Yet go where you may in this country, you will hear a farmer saying ot his neighbor. "He has too much laud," even where the crit icism might justly be reciprocated. We can not all be mistaken on this head. There are men whocaneach manage thou sands of acres of tillage, just as there are those who can skillfully wield an Brmy of a hundred thousand men. Napoleon raid there were two of this class in Europe of bis day. There are others who cannot handle a hundred acres, so that nothing is lost through neglect or oversight. Rules must be adapted to aver age capacities and circumstances. He who expects to live by ea'tle rearing needs many more acres than he who is intent on grain growing; while he who contemplates vegeta ble, root, and fruit culture, needs fewer acres still. As to the direction of his efforts, each will be a law unto himself. If I were asked by a young matt intent on farming to indicate the proper area for him. I would say. Iluy jusi so large a farm, as half your means, wilt pay for. In other words, "If you are worth $20,000, invest half ot it in land, the residue in slock, tools, Ac., and observe tbe same rule of proportion, whether you arc worth $1,000,000 or SI,OOO. If you are worth just nothing at all, I would invest in land the half of that, and no more. In other words, I would either wait to earn SSOO over, or push Westward till I found land that costs practically nothing. This, then, I take to be the gist of the popu lar criticism on our farmers as having unduly enlarged their borders : They have more land than they hare capital to stock and till to the best advantage. He who ba3 but fifty acres has too much if he lets part of his land lie idle and unproductive for lack of teams or hands to till it efficiently; while he who has a thousand acres has none too much if he has the means and talents wherewith to make the best of it all. I have said that I consider ihe soil of New England as cheap, all things considered, for him who is able to buy and work it, as that of Minnesota or Arkansas —that I urge migra tion to the West only upon those who cannot pay for farms in the old States. I dqubt whether the farmers of any other section have, in the average, done better, through out the last ten years, than ,l e butter makers of Vermont, the cheese-uairyman of this Slate. And yet there is, in the ridgey, reeky, patchy character of most of onr Eastern farms, an insuperable barrier to the most economic, effective cultivation. If the tidges were further apart —if each rocky or gravelly knoll were not in close j.r- ximiiy to a strip of bog or morass —it would be different. But the gpuius of our ap points unmistakably to cultivation by st< ..LU or some other mechani cal application of power: and tfiis requires spacious fieids, with few or no obstacles to the equable progress of the plow, I appre hend that, for this reason, the growth of bread-corn eastward of the Hudson can never more be considerable extended, so long as .the boundless, fertile prairies can so easily pour their exhaustless supplies upct: us. Fruits, Vegetables, Roots and Grass, we must continue to grow, probably in ever increas ing abundance; but we of the East will buy out bread-corn largely if not mainly from the West. He therefore who buys land in the Eastern States should regard primarily its capacity to produce those crops in which the East can never be supplanted—Grass, Fruits Vegeta bles, Timber. If a farm will also produce good corn or Wheat, that is a recommendation; but let hint place a higher value on those ea parities which will be more generally requit ed and drawn upon. In the West the case is different; for. though wheat-culture still recedes before the footsteps of advancing population and Minnesota may soon cease togrow for others, as western New Vork, Ohio, Indiana and Northern Illinois have already done, yet In dian corn being the basis of both Beef and Pork, will long hold its own in the valley of the Ohio and in that of ihe upper Mississippi. As it recedes slowly Westward, Clover, and Timothy, Butter and Cheese, will press closely on its footsteps. Good neighbors, good roads, good schools. go::d mechanics at band, and a good church within reach, wiil always be valued aud sought: few farmers are likely to disregard them. Let whoever buys a farm whereon to live resolve to buy once for all, and lot him not forget that health is not only wealth but happiness - that an eligible location aud beau- Ufu! prospec' are elements of enjoyment not only for ourselves hut our friends: let him not fancy that all the land will soon be gobbled up and held at exorbitant prices, but believe that money will almost always com mand money's worth of whatever may be needed, so that be need not embarrass him. self to-day through fear that he may not be able to find sellers to morrow, and he can hardly fail to buy judiciously and thus escape that worst species of home-sickness—sick ness of home. IMPORTED INSECT AND WEED PESTS It is slated as a remarkable and vcy inter esting fact, that nearly all of the worst insect foes ot the American farmer and fruit grower, have been inq orted frolTt the other side of the Atlantic. Ibo Hessian fly, 80 destructive to our wheat crops, was introduced some ninety years since; the bee moth at the begin ning of the present century; the wheal midge forty five years ago, and the codlirg motb. the house fly, the cabbage plant louse, the grain weevil, the cockroach, tbe different car p -t. clothes, and fur moths, together with many other of these destructive pests, were in roduced into this country at periods not definitely fixed. Of ninety nine noxious ■weeds classified by Dr. William Darliogt. n, tf t) est Chester, Pennsylvania, wo are in- debted to cither countries for so J?ss than forty-three; amongst wbich are St. John's j wort, oxeyed daisy, burdock, plant in, mullen, toad flax, Jamestown or Jimson weed, the notorious cheat or chess, Canada thistle, the dread of farmers, common thistle, field gar lic, etc. Notwithstanding the fact that Amer icans are proverbial for their readiness to re- , ciproeate favors, it is shown that we have not made a very large return for the host of uox ious insects and weeds with which we have been so abundantly favored by our trans at lantic brethren. Very few American insects have become naturalized in Europe. The American pea bug is found in some parts of France and England, but uot to an injurious extent. The only two American weeds that have become so firmly established in Europe as to be a positive nuisance, is a common aquatic plant (Anacbaris canaden sis), wbich has so multiplied its growth there as to completely choke up many of the Eng lish canals, and the American Horse weed or Mare's tail, which has spread nearly over the entire world. These facts would seem to demonstrate conclusively that American plants and insects do ml become naturalized as readily in tbe Old World as the insects and plants of the Old World do with us. So far as noxious insects ar.d weeds are concern ed, this is uothing to boast of, to be sure, but that dees not remove the fact. Perhaps, if the subject were more closely investigated, the results would show that the great increase and spread of these animal and vegetable pests in America is due mainly to the fact that our larmers and fruit-growers have not been as careful to eradicate them as have those of Europe.

A Bbicut Idea.—"Begorra, but there has i been such a number of bnrgleries lately that I'll jist bolt the door, and then take the bolt out to make sure." A uenti.emax who bos been struck by a young lady's beauty has determined to follow the injunction and ' 'kiss the rod that smote him." A little ciut, after returning from church, where she saw a collet'ion taken up for the first time, related what took place; and among other things she said, with her childish inno cence, "that a man passed around a plate that bad some mouey on it, but I didn't take any." RHYMING. —A line in one of Moore's songs reads thus: "Our couch shall be roses bespangled with dew." To which a sensible girl rev lied: "'Twould give me the rheumatiz, and so it would you." "Pouter," avked au old lady of an Irish railway porter, "when does the nine o'clock train leave?" "Sixty minutes past eight, mutn,'" was the reply. Two little boys were met after dark by a fellow who demanded their money. Said one of them "I have no money." This might have been a sufficient answer; but the other made assurance doubly sure by adding, "Ana I haven't any pocket to pnt money in." They have a rich joke on Dr. Egau, a grea laud operator as welt as a most successfu physician. The Doctor prescribed some pills for a lady. He was asked how they were to be taken. "A quarter down," said the Doctor, "and the balance in one, two, and three years." 'Where is the hoe, Sambo?' 'Wid de rake, massaV 'Well, where is tbe rake V 'Why, wid de hoe.' 'Well, well—where are they both?' 'Why, both togedder, massa—you 'pears to be berry 'ticular dis mornin 1' A somew hat conceited clergyman, who was more celebra'ed for the length of bis sermons than for their eloquence or iheory, once ask ; td the \ cnerable Arcb-deacori liale what he ; th night of one just preached, j "Well, Sir," replied the brusque Doctor, | "I liked one passage extremely well." "Indeed. Doctor! Pardon ine for asking yon which passage yon refer to. lam really nappy to meet with your approval even in one instance." " 'A ell, my dear Sir," replied the Archdea i con, "the passage I refer to was that fi oat the pulpit lu the vestry room." It was in a Massachusetts village that an old scissors-grinder, calling on a minister, made the usual query, 'Any scissors togriud?' Receiving a negative answer, it was the minister's turn, which he took by asking, 'Are you a man of God?" 'I do not understand yon.' 'Are you prepared to die?' The question struck home. Gathering up his kit and scrambling for the door, he ex claimed, terror stricken : '0 Lord ! O Lord ! yon ain't goiug to kill tne, are you ?' Ax ice-house laborer being killed fcy a lump of ice falling on his head, the verdict was, "Died of hard drink." A boy in Chautauqua County struck a dog. The owner of the dog, hearing of the out rage, went two miles on tbe double-quick af ter the boy, and having found him, inquired, in slern tones, 'Are you the boy that struck my dog ?' 'I am, Sir,' said the lad. 'Will, was the reply, 'all I've got to say is, that it was well for you I wasn't there.' Having indicted this fearful punishment, the indignant map walked proudly away, and reached his home safely. The lad is not se riously injured. Tue Paris shop-keepers know how to deal with kleptomaniacs. Not long since an elegantly-dressed lady entered a fashionable lace store, and asked to look at Valencien nes laces. The patterns shown appeared to her too coarse and heavy, and she left with out purchasing, but not without carrying any thing away. The vigilant eye of the . cl rk detected her slipping a pice of lae<- under her cloak. She had scarcely returned home when a messenger arrived with a little package and the fo lowing note: "Madam, —We are afraid that the twelve ya-ds of lace you selected to day in our store will not be enough to tiicu your dress and therefore take the liberty of sending : you another piece of the same pastern, with ! the bill for both. Please send word by the t bearer whether you will take it." i It is needless to add that the lady took the I ice and paid the bill, only u o happy •t having to deal with a man of sense. gftiurdlimnrais.

S rfUlous nffetions and disorders, which were aggravated by the scrofulous contamination until they were pninf"lly afflicting,have been radically cured in ► ucb great numbers in almost every sec tion of the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous poison is one ot the most destruc tive enernb sof our race. Ofren, this unseen and j unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the con stitution, and invites the attack of enfeebling cr fatal diseases, without exciting a suspic on of its j presence. Again, it seems to breed infection j through the body, and then, on souie favorable occasion, rapidly develop Into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or am >ngihe vitals. In tbe latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed iu the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part ot the body. Hence tbe occasional use of & bottle of this SARSAFARILLA is advisable, even wh*n no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following compia nts generally find immediate r lief. and. at length, cuce, Hy the use of this SARSAPA RILL A: St. Anthony a Fire, Rose or Erysipelas. Tetter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes, Sore Earn, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous disease. Also in the more concealed forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Dilate, Fit*. Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous affections of tbe muscular and nervous systems. Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by it, though a long time is required for subduing these obstinate maladies by any med icine- But long continued use of this medicine will cure the complaint. Leucorrhcea or White*, Uterini Ulcerations. and Female Diseases, are commonlv soon relieved and ultima ely cured by its purifying and invigorating effect. Minute Di rections for each ca>e are found in our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when cau>ed by accumulations of extraneous matters in the bt-ood. yitdd quickly to it, as also Licer Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or !flan,mu tton ol tbe Liver, and Jaundice, when arising as they often dt, from the rankling poisons in the blood. I his SA RS APA RIL LA is a great resto rer for tbe strength and vig t #r ol tin system. Those who are Lauguid and Listless. I)e.-poii dent. Sleepless, and troubled with Nervous Apprehen sions or Fears, or any of tbe affections symptom atic of Weak a ess, will find immediate relict and convincing evidence of its restorative power upon trial. 1 Prepared by Dr. J.
