Naturally the farmer la an ungol flth man. HI Inborn nro mostly out of door. His oallinr; takes him much broad, find ant-bira him to mlngl con eldorably with this world. Yet, look ing at tho very large proportion of tho population embraced in his purault, and the important Influence exorcised by it ever all out affair , it is a subject of com mon romarV, oven by all agriculturists thomstlvoB, that their social Intercourse should bo so much restricted. There la no other cause for tho sccluslYoness on tho part of farmers, that we can see, than the " treading in tho footsteps of their prodocossora." Bo this ts it may, there are othor causes operating which appear to bo changing this for tho bet ter. County folrs, bringing agricultur ists together from districts sufficiently near to each other to niako acquaintan ces pleasant and lasting, and putting them In friendly emulation In matters and tilings involving their agrestic skill And success, are clearly working to form more closo companionship between those whoso domostic comforts and fam By snjoyments must bo greatly pro moted in future. Littlo clubs among the farmers .of a. neighborhood, to meet dace a Week to "discuss or talk over tho innumerable subjects connected with the intelligent prosecution of tholr noblo profession, produce a decidedly frater nizing and socialising effect. While these local associations should not be too formal and restricted, they should have an official organization as better calculated to causo punctuality at tho meetings, as well as to add to their per manency. On these occasions the wives and daughters of families should al ways accompany their husbands, fathers, or brothers, not to participate, of course, In the proceedings that may take place, but to Increaso tho agrecabillty of tho moetings, and to sharo in tho pleasure of theso delightful interchanges of good neighborhoods. Indeed, if the truth must bo spokon and we are ready to do It upon all occasions, especially upon Buch a ono as this there is very little social enjoyment In tho world which is not refined and made doubly enjoyable by the presence of woman. German town Telegraph. T Prevent Peace roils from netting. I wisn to call tho attention of farm ers to coal-tar as a paint. It is probably generally known that the tnr produced In coal gas-works Is extensively used in England for painting fences, etc., and is being introduced in this country also. Ono or two good coats will last for many years, as it never alters by exposure to the weather, and it is tho cheapest and best black paint that can bo used.. If Its advantages were fully known, I be lieve It would bo generally used through out the United States. Not long slnco I read thatr the brick used in building me lort at Tnrog'a Neck were soaked In this tar, which renderod them imnor- vious to water. ' Posts painted with this tar aro protected from rot when in the ground as effectually ns If thoy had been charred. Tho only objection to it ns n paint above ground is its offensive amoll from tho heat of tho sun. No persons .should allow themsolves to sot a slnglo post without its application It is doubly important to railroad com panics from tho fact that theso roads run through tho most level portions of a country, and consequently the most Bwampy and wot ; thoroforo frnco poits nro tho moat liablo to rot. The modo of application, which is given by n gen tloman well posted, is as follows : ' ' Ilavo a largo iron kettle so arranged that you can mako and keep tho tar hot ; then alter having removed tho bark, If any, Bet the end of tho post into the tar. and If tho tar is not sufficiently deep to take the post lnto.lt as far as you wish to tar It, have a swab of cloth, tied upon a broom-hatidloor other stick, and swab it up at least six to ten inches nbovo tho ground llne.whon the post is sot 5 then lift up tho post, letting it drip a mo ment, laying It away upon rails or poles placed for that purpose, not nllowlng them to touch each othor until dry." Two men will tar about Ave hundred posts In ono day, and one barrol of tnr will bo sufflcUnt for that number. Ex change, Sheep, It'shoepora Ju poor condition now, they must bo gradually brought up; feed oats in tho slio&f, a fow dally, and somooate and good hay. When grass falls, hemlock boughs once or twlco a week are good. Lot all have the rango of dry yards or fields, and warm shods well ventilated. The. period of gesta tion in owos is about flvo months, and a flock In good order is rarely served in Jpss than threo to &xo weeks. If sheep put up to fat at this leason sell in Feb ruary, March, or April for enough to iay their present value, and for all the grain fed to them, there is no loss. Their .manure will be full pay for the attention. Or Too Much Haste. Oeohoi: Summers was a bravo lad. llo was twelvo years old, nnd well grown for his age. Ho b'o'iI high In his classes, and was regarded by his teacher ns tho most promising boy lu the school. Uo wits a truthful lad, loo, and his teacher was proud of him 011 this account. He knew ho could always depend on Qcorgo for n fair and candid statement of whatever happened. Ono day tho teacher placed In his desk nn unusually fine orange. Ho had bought it on his way to the school, nnd intended to carry it home to his wife, who was sick. During tho recess ho left tho room to attend to something on tho grounds, and when he returned ho found Georgo Bummers just closing tho lid of his desk. " What aro you doing thero, Georgo ?" he asked, noticing tho flush on the lad's face. " I wa3 looking to seo what mark you gftvo mo to-day, sir," replied tho boy, In somo confusion. " You should not havo dono so with out my permission," said tho teacher gravely. " I know I did not do right, sir," said George, " but I was very anxious to seo if I would loso my place in my class, as it is the first time I havo failed to bo porfect in my Latin." " Don't do so again, but como to mo when you want any such information," said tho teacher. Taking his su.it, ho opened his desk to look for something, whon he uttered nn exclamation of sur prlso, and called Georgo Summers; but tho boy had left tho room by this time. Going to tho door, tho teacher called him back. " Where is my orange, Georgo ?" lie asked. " I have not got it, sir," replied tho boy. " Tho orango was In tho desk whon I left tho room," said tho teacher. " On my return I found you at my desk, and my orango gono. Tell tho truth,Georgc. What did you do with tho fruit?" " I did not know that you had nn or ange," said tho boy, looking him frank ly in the face. " I did not soo nny In your desk, and indeed, sir, I have not taken it." Tho teachor said nothing more, but rang the boll for tho ro-asscmbllng of school. When all tho boys wore lu their places, he told thorn that ho had brought an orango to school with him, but that somo ono had taken it from his desk. Then taking tho roll, he called over tho names, asking each boy if he took tho orange, or if he know anything nbout It. Each ono nnswered "no." Whon ho came to George Summers, the lad re turned the same answer to tho first question, but when askod if he knew anything about it, he wits silent, and then ho said he'd rather not toll, as it might bring some of his companions into troublo, and after all ho was not certain. The. teacher looked at him sternly for a while, and then said soverely : " I don't mind tho loss of tho orange, but I am very sorry to Hud that I havo a thief lu school, nnd that that thief is ono whom I havo always regarded 'as my best pupil. I mean you, Georgo, for I am satisfied now that you took the orango. If you will confess it, I will try to overlook your fault, but if you do not do so, I shall punish you severe ly after school." When the exercUos of tho day woro over Qcorgo was called to tho teacher's desk, and tho questions repented. He reiterated tho denial, and tho teacher whipped him severely. Tho boy did not flinch or murmur. He stood proud nnd silont while the degrading punish ment was being inflicted, never betray ing, by the slightest movement, any emotion. The boyB looked on In aston ishment, and at last the teacher paused, and said : "lam sorry to see you so hardened, uoorge, 1 thought you a better boy." " I am not hardened," replied George indignantly. " You havo chargod mo with dishonesty, and whippod me for it without any proof. You never knew mo to toll a lie, but refuse to believe mo, and treat me so now merely upon suspi cion." Tho teacher thought thero was some force in what tho boy said, nnd that ho might havo been too hasty; but the cause seemed to him so plain that ho could not seo how thoro could be a doubt about it. " You can go home now, Georgo," ho said. " I hopo you will bo In a bettor framo of mind when you como back to morrow." "I shall not como back again, sir," said Georgo firmly. " You have treat ed mo too badly for mo to want to stay horo. I shall tell my father all about this, and ask him to take mo away." " I will boo your father to-night, my self," said tho teacher, and ho dismissed tho school. " After tho boys woro gono tho teach er sat for a long tlmo thinking over tho occurrence. Somehow ho could not help feeling reproochod forhlshasto. George had always been tho best, tho most truthful boy In tho school, and it was very strango that ho should do so moan a thing; nnd, after all, tho ovldonco against him was not conclusive when it enrao to bo sifted carefully. As ho sat thero a lucky thought enter ed tho teacher's mind, nnd rising, ho ex amined closely every desk in tho school room. Ills search was almost ended when he discovered in n remote corner of a desk n couplo of orango seeds, and a pleco of fresh rind. Thoownorof this desk was a bad boy, and ono who had given him agreat deal of trouble. What If this boy should provotho real thlof?" Without delay tho teacher proceoded to tho houso of tho lad, Jim Grocnidgo by name. Arriving there, nnd asking for tho boy's father, ho told him tho whole story. Mr. aroenldge. with slinmo and mortification, called his son into tho room, and asked him whero ho got tho orango ho had at school that day. As tho boy taw his toacher his face grow deathly pale, and he replied I In n frlghteuod tono that ho did not havo an orango at school. Tho teacher thou produced tho bits of rind nnd seeds ho had found, nnd nsked how thoy came to bo in liis desk. Tho boy saw that thero was no cscapo for him, and yield ing to tho coninuinds and threats of his father, confessed that ho had taken tho orango, and that ho had boon afraid to confess it. Having dlsc6vorod tho mistake ho hud made, tho teacher now took his way to tho resldoiico of Mr. Summers, to do what ho could toward repairing tho damngo ho hnd done. He was received with cold polltonoss by tho boy's father Upon hearing what tho teacher had to say, Mr. Summer's called Georgo into tho room, nnd tho teacher told him how ho hnd discovered his Innocence. " Did you suspect Jim Grccnldgo of taking the oraugo?" asked tho teachor. "Yes, sir," repllod Georgo. "I saw him coming from your dek ns I went up to It, and I noticed a guilty look on his face." " Then why did you not toll this to mo?" " Because," said tho boy proudly, " I would not do so mean a thing as to ac cuse ono of my companions simply on suspicion." Tho teacher winced, for It was a homo thrust. Ho was silent for a moment, and then said : "I am sorry this has happened, Georgo, and I hope you will forget It and forgivo It, and como back to school ngnln to-morrow." " Let nio speak for my son," said Mr. Summers. " That ho will forgivo you for tho wrong you have dono him, I am sure. But I cannot permit him to go back to your school, and ho docs not desiro to Jo so. You wero very wrong to accuse n boy of an Infamous offenco merely upon suspicion, whon you had always known him to bo honorable nnd upright, nnd to inflict upon him n de grading punishment upon no stronger evidence. I cauuot placo my boy in such danger again. Goorge sustains my decision, and it is final. Tills ought to teach you a lesson, nnd I hopo you will profit by it." Tho teacher departed in silence, n wiser nnd an humbler man. Tho next day ho proclaimed Gcorgo's Innocence, and expelled Jim Greeuldgo. He did profit by his lesson, nnd never- again permitted himself to act in haste or upon mere suspicion in matters in which his pupils wero concornod. JOSEPH S.
