4? arm, 6s*Ar & TASTK IN FARMING. There is one thing iu which farmers, take ..he country through, have been sadly defi cient, and that is, in a regard for, and a cul tivation of the beautiful, as well a- th" useful. There are some, tand these are general 1} farmers from the city) whose ideas all run in this direction: who have entered upon life in the country, and upon the care of their farms, as if they were flower gardens, to he worked not for the sake ot producing anything that shall be useful, so much as to gratify the eve. Or if they undertake to produce anythi ig, it is something that shall either please the fane) or gratify a luxurious appetite or make them conspicuous among the neighboring larmers. They do not regard their occupation as one of practical utility. Farming is with them an ornamental branch, very much like worsted work or embroidery among the ladies ot the household. This is one extreme. Such far mers have done a great amount ol good: but they have overstrained an incidental part < t the matter. (In the other hand those who have depend iii on farming for a living, have too often overlooked this part of the subject. Some have a perfect contempt for flowers, and shrubbery, and shade trees, and nil that would be regarded as belonging to the ornamental. They have no plans for beautifying their homesteads. Their houses, and yards, and gardens are all laid out for mere utility. Net a dollar is spent on anything that will not give one dollar or more in return. It is all labor ami profit with them. This is the other ex treme. We do not see how any man who entertains ucli views, uinl works his farm on such prin ciples, can open his eyes without feeling re buked. He cannot look out "upon the world, unless he is devoid of reflection, without be ing constantly reminded that he is setting at naught the great lessons which the Being who made the earth, and who rolls around the seasons, and produces the crops by His rain, and sunshine, and the excercise of His ?1- ruiglity power, is continually teaching, it is the teaching of Scripture, "He hath made everything beautiful in his time," and it is the teaching of every day's observation aud experience. There is not a crop produced by the earth in which there is not as much - laid out on beauty a- on utility, and even more. The crops of grain, in their growth, and even when they wave in golden color for for the harvest, are almost enough to stir the soul of a statue with admiration. The orchards, before they ever produce an apple or a peach, or any other fruit, are gorgeously 'locked out with beauty. The God of Nature has given us an exam ple which we ought not to disregard. It is not a mere fancy, it is a duty to pay some atten tion to the appearance of things. The farmer who leaves his house or his grounds in a slov enly state, who pays no attention to beautify ing his farm, is doing violence to one impor tant element of his nature. It is very easy to do something toward the cultivation of taste in farming. A vine around the door way: a bed of weli-seleeted and well-tended flowers: a few shade trees and an arbor for vines; a well arranged and well kept garden: a li*tie care in cutting down the weeds bj tlie roadside; a little attention to the appearance of the outbuildings and fences: a plan in the laving out of one's fields, Ac., would add largely to the enjoyments of farm life, and they would add largely to its profits too. A farm that is properly taken care of, and which exhibits taste as well as close culture, will have a higher pecuniary value than one which is used merely for making the most money ! out of it for the season. Taste in farming is nothing to be ashamed of, as many seem to regard it. I'he man who exhibits it and who cultivates it is a wiser man, a better man, than the one who despi -cs it. He is cultivating part of his own na ture. which the other man suffers to run to waste and to be covered with briars and thorns. He is engaged in a work of benevo lence also. He is doing good to others. He contributes to the enjoyment of every one who sees and admires the evidence of his taste ir. the improvement and beautifying of his grounds. If "o kkui E ol Ocauij 1= a Joy forever," (which has now become a proverb,) the farmer who makes his own place attrac tive to the eyes of others becomes a public and a lasting benefactor. He blesses not merely his own family and his neighbors, but every traveller who passes his homestead: while he who makes it his only object to dig out of the earth what he can turn to immedi ate profit in money, is living altogether for himself.— Xetc York Observer. TIMBER AND BAIN FA 1.1 . According to Kentesch, a German author ity, the proportion of forest or woodland re quired for an agricultural country, in order to secure it a regular and sufficient rainfall with out violent storms, is twenty-three per cent, in interior regions, and twenty per cent, near the coast. The estimate relates to Germany, f he same writer estimates that five per ccr.t. of timber is sufficient for England. An ling lish authority, Sir Henry James, regards this last estimate too high for England, deeming "J."> per cent, of timber sufficient. It is prob able that the percentage of timber required in Germany is less than would be nece--ary in the level regions of our own section, as mountains exert an important influence upon the amount of rainfall. The following interesting account of the influence of timber upon rainfall and springs is taken from Boussingault's Rural Economy: " The Wolf-spring in the Comniuftc ot Sou bey. Fran eg, furnishes a remarkable instance of the influence of woods upon fountains. A few years ago this spring did not exist. At the place where it now rises, a small thread of water was observed, after very long rains, but the stream disappeared with the rain. I he spot is in the middle of aver. steep pas ture, inclining to the South. Eighty years ago the owner of the land perceiving that some-firs were shooting up in the upper part of it, determined to let them grow, and they soon formed a flourishing grove. As soon as thev Win- \*-o!l crown n finn cot-ino , ' iu the place of an occasional rill, and furnish ed abundant water in the longest drought. For torty or fifty years this spring was con sidered the best in Clos du-Doubs. A few years since, the grove was felled, and the ground turned again to pasture. The sprit," ' disappeared with the wood, and is now asdiy as it was ninety years ago." Awm-np DOLiAB GBOTER A !

A wag being asked why they locked the stove, coolly re plied that "it was to prevent the lire from go ing out." , A i YNicAi. journalist says the reason so - many marriages occur immediately after a t great war is, that bachelors become so accus -0 tomed to strife that they learn to like it, and e after the return of peace they enlist in matri -1 uiony as the next thing to war.

A LAKY on one occasion, traveling in a rail way carriage, was much annoyed by a cock ney com],anion continually embellishing his t conversation with 'This 'ere' and 'That air.' In a few minutes afterwards she quietly re quested him to close the window, remarking, •This ear is affected by that air.' A GENTLEMAN riding through Sydenham saw a board with "This Cottage for Sail." . painted on it. As he was always ready for a pleasant joke, and seeing a woman in fiont of the house, be stopped and ask*d her very politely, w hen the cottage was to sail?" "Just as soon as the man comes along who can raise the wind." was the quiet reply. AN amusing story is told of a cunuing ex hibitor at a recent agricultural fair in Connec ticut. who divided a bushel of peaches, and entered one half in his own name, and anoth er in the name of au influential man in a neighboring town. The big man got the prize, and the other contribution, although off the same tree, was not mentioned. "I'A. didn't you whip me for biting Tom my?' ' "Yes. my child: you hurt him very much.'' "Well, then, pa: you ought to whip mam ma's music teacher, too, for he bit mamma right in the mouth, and I know it hurt, be cause she put her arms around his neck and and tried to choke liim." A NK YORK officer who was up before the Police Commissioners the other day on a charge of drunkenness, made the following rather lame defence: "I had been out all night: 1 was wet and tired: I took one single hot whisky netore l went into the ranks: 1 had also had my hair c-ut that day, and wheth c-r it iva- the whiskey or my having had my hair cut that made me act so queer, I don't know." DIIIING a steain voyage, on a sudden stop page of the maeninery, considerable alarm took place, especially among the female pas sengers. What is the matter? What is the matter? For heaven's sake tell me the worst?" exclaimed one more anxious than the rest. After a short pause a hoarse voice from the deck replied: "Nothing, madam, nothing, only In- bottom of the vessel and the top of the earth arc stuck together.'" "HEHK'S TO YE, JEMMY."— An Irishman had been sick for a long time, and while in thia stale would occasionally cease breathing, and life be apparently extinct for some time, when lie would again revive.

"FSi' KI N I couldn't drive a trade with you. Squire," said a genuine specimen of the Yan- j kec peiller. as he stood at the door of a mer- ' chant in St. Louis.

"Wall, now, look here, Squire. Fil bet ' you twenty-five dollars that if you make me | an oiler for them ere straps, we'll have a trade yet." "Done," said the merchant, and he staked the,, nionev.

"You're not so bad a chap after all," said he. "Here are your strops: give me the money." ' "There it is." said the Yankee, as he took the .-trops and handed back the sixpence.
