BRIGHTLY BEANS THE SUMNER SKY.
0, brightly beams the summer sky,
And rarely blooms the clover ;
But the little pond will soon be dry—
The summer soon be over
0, light and soft the west wind blows,
The flower-bells gently ringing ;
But blight will fall upon the rose,
Where now the bee is swinging
A smile is on the silver stream—
A blush is on the flowers ;
But the cloud that wears a golden gleam
Will waste itself in showers!
0, little hearts with gladness rife,
Among the wavy grasses !
A deeper shade will fold your life
Than o'er the meadow passes!
O, maiden lips ! 0, lips of bloom !
Unburdened save by singing !
Pale Gr ler shall leave his seal of gloom,
Where kisses now are clinging !
O, hope is sweet! 0, youth is near!
And love is sweeter, nearer.!
0, life is sweet, and life is dear,
But death is often dearer 1
0, shield the little hearts from wrong,
While childhood's laugh is ringing !
And kiss the lips that sing the song,
Before they cease their singing !
0, crown with joy the brows of youtlx,"
Before those brows are older !
0, touch with love the lips of truth,
Before they cease their singi4l
For the little pool will soon be dry—
The summer soon be over ;

HOW TO HA HE HOAR HAPPY.
Do riot jest with your wife upon a subject
in which there is danger of wounding her
feelings. Remember that she treasures every
word your utter, though you never think of it
again. Do not speak of some virtue in an
other man's wife, to remind your own ,of
fault. Do not reproach your wife with per
sonal defects ; if she has sensibility, you inflict
a wound difficult to head. Do not treat. your
wife with inattention in company. Do not
upbraid her in the presence cif.' third person,
nor entertain her with praising the beauty and,
accomplishments of other worms. If you
would have a pleasant home and a cheerful
wife, pass your evening under your own root
Do not be stern and silent in your own house,
and remember to be sociable elsewhere. Re
member that your wife has as much need ofre
creation as yourself, and devote a portion at
least of your leisure hours to such society and
aniusementa as she inay join. By so doing
you will secure her :smiles and incretuse her
affection. Do not, *being too exact in' pe
cuniary matters, make your wife feel her de
pendence upod your bounty. It tends to les

Rev. Samuel Kilpin,l a Baptist, gives the
folloiring account of his Son :
"On one occasion.when be had offended
me, I deemed it right to 'manifest displeasure ;
and when he asked a (Ideation about the busi
ness of the day, I was abort and reserved in
my answer to him. Anhour or more elapsed.
The time had nearly arrived when he was to.
repeat his lessons. He came into my study,
and said: "Papa, I cannot learn my lessons
except you are reconciled; I am sorry I have
offended you ; I hope ypn will forgive me ;
think I shall never offend you again."
I replied, "All I want is to make you eexusi
ble to your fault ; when you acknowledge it,
you know I am easily reconciled with you."
"Then papa," said lac, "give me the token
of reconciliation, and seal' it with a kins;"—
The hand was given, and the seal most heartily
exchanged on each side.
"Now," exclaimed the dear boy, "I will
learn Greek and ,Latin; with anybody ;" and
was hastening to his study.
"Stop, Stop," I called after him ; "have you
not a Heavenly Father 7 If what you have
done has been evil, He is displeased, and you
must apply to him for forgiveness."
With tears staking in his eyes, he said :
"Papag went to him first ; I knew that ex r
cept he was reconciled I could do nothing."
As the tears fast rolled down his cheek, he
added ; "I hope he has forgiven me ; and
now lam happy!" I have never had occa
sion to speak to him again in tones of disap
probation: •
An Sums= Wonerc.—There is a person
whose harmonious voice gives to her conver
sation a charm found equally in her manners.
She knows how to 'Teak and how to keep
silent; how delicately;to engtge herself with
you, and use only proper subjects of conversa
tion. Her words are happily chosen ; her
language is pure; her raillery, caresses;
and her criticism does inot wound. Far from
contradicting with ignorant assurance of a
fool, she seems to seek in your company good
sense or truth. She indulges in dissertations
as little as she does in; disputes ; she delights
to lead a discussion Which she stops when
she pleases.
Of an equable temper, her hair is effable
and gay. Her politeness has nothing forced
in it; her welcome is not servile; she re
duces respect to nothing more than a delicate
shade; she never tires4ou, and leaves her
satisfied with her and yourself.
Attracted to her sphere by an inexplicable
power, you find her alit and grace impressed
upon the things withvihich she surrounds her
self ; everything there pleases the sight, and!
while there, you seem to breath the fresh air
of the country.
In intimacy this peison seduces by a tone
of fresh simplicity. She is natural. She
never makes an effort at luxury—at display.
Her sentences are simply rendered because
they are true. She is Frank, without offending
any one's self love. She accepts men as God
has made them, pardoning their faults and
ridiculous qualities ; comprehending all ages,
and vexing herself about nothing, she has
enough to forsee everything. She obliges
rather than consoles ; she is tender and gay ;
therefore you will love her;irresistibly. You
will tyke her for a type, and vow to worship
her. '
Wiumrsro.—Naxt to laughing, whistling is
one of the most philooophical things in which
a fellow of good spirits can ladulge. 'MAW
ling is a popular prescription for keeping up
the courage—it might better be said good
spirit's. Some genial philosopher has well
said on this subject. "Whistling is a great
institution. It oils the wheels of care, sup
plies, the place of sunshine. A man who
whistles has a good heart under his shirt-front.
Such, a man not only works more willingly,
but he works more constantly. A whistling
cobler will earn as Much money again as a
cordwainer who gives way to low spirits and
indigestion. Mean or avaricious men never
whistle. The man who attacks whistling
throws a stone at the head of hilarity, and
if he could, would rob . June of its roses—
August of its meadow larks."
WHAT A. GOOD NEwspAritu MAY Do.--Show

Have you ever thought off• the innumerable

with which, thus early, our children become

Thriasosses.—The moment a friend or
even a mere acqualhtance is dead, how surely
there starts up befoke us each instance of un
kindness of which we have been guilty to
wards him. an fact, many an act or word
which, while he mai in life did not seem to us to

A PRACTICAL JOWL
On the shores of Canandaigua Lake, New
York, there is &lunatic asylum kept by Dr.
Cook, who also Seceives many inebriates.—,
The Sentinel otrseedom tells the following
as having occurred at the asylum :
One morning, three years since, Cook en
tered the breakfast-room, where some conva
lescents from insanity and a number of re
forming inebriates were chatting cosily over
their eggs and coffee, and told them to be in
readiness for visitors, as a "Teacher's Insti
tute" would be up from the town during the
morning to study the treatment of the insane.
As the doctor left the room, an inebriate,
whom we will call Smith, said—
"Now, Cook will come in here with a long
string of pedagogues and achoolm'ams behind
him, and tell them that we are perfectly harm
less, and that they will not see any dangerous
patients. ru show him to the contrary."
Smith had been in the service of the North
west Fur Company, and when the doctor
came in and made the expected assurance of
safety, Smith, who was watching from a crev
ice in his door, dashed out of his room clad in
complete Indian costume, face painted, hair
flying and tomahawk in hand, giving a tre
mendous war whoop as he plunged at the
head man of the "Institute." The scene was
indescrible. The teachers went flying out of
the doors and windows, Smith chasing them
through the grounds, the poor doctor half
mad at the annoyance and half killed wi
laughter, and the breakfast-table party, w
were in the secret, all in convulsions of de
light. Explanation was impossible. The
doctor bore his sorrows like a man ; the 'ln
stitute" passed resolutions of censure ; and
the jolly Smith reViced in the success of his
practical joke, calling it the beat spree of his
lifetime. But we hope nobody will go to an
Inebriate asylum for the fun of it.
TErsAnticAL.--During Mr. Kean's perform
ance of Richard 111, some years ago, at the.
Park Theatre, New York, a green Vermont
er, who was a stranger to the mimic art, nev
er having been at the theatre before, took a
seat in the pit, pretty near the orchestra, and
was observed to watch thetperformance with
absorbing interest. He neither joined in the
applause bestowed on the performers, nor in
the hisses lavished on the "snpes," but silent
ly and admiringly looked on at the play. He
heard the drums beat to arms at Bosworth
field—heard Richard's soul-stirring address to
his army, and that of Richmond also—he saw
the onslaught, and heard the clash of arms
and still did he preserve his silence, but when
at length Richard comes reeling in, over
come almost by the loss of blood and the dis
asters of the day, crying out, at the top of his
voice—
"A horse ! s horse ! my kingdom for a horse!"
the Vermonter rose and "sung" out,—
"Look here, stranger, I hain't got no horse,
but I have a first-rate bob-tail mare round
here at, the stable—as sure footed a critter as ev
erzy, cantered; just hold on there, rut be blamed
if I don't bring her to you right off!"
The Vermonter, as they say in critical par
lance, "brought down the house."
AN AMTSING TV:MIL INClDENT.—Doubtless
the tunnel on the Eastern Railroad, just east
of the depot, in Salem, has been the scene of
numerous amusing incidents, but we doubt if
anything of a more ludicrous character has
ever taken place in it than the following: It '
seems that a few days since a lady and her
sister, and a grotiotrtip son of the latter, took
the cars at Boston for tjae East, the sisters oc
cupying a seat together and the young man
the one behind with another petson. Upon
entering the tunnel, the aunt, to have a little
fun, rose up carefully, reached over to the
seat the young man had been occupying, seiz
ed some one by the oilier, shook him sound
ly, and then resumed her seat.
The sister, surprised at her vigorous move
ments, asked what she had been doing, and
was informed by the other that she had been
attempting to frighten her nephew. Her feel
ings can be imagined when the mother made
her acquainted with the fact that the young
pan left the train at Salem, and that she had
been "shaking up the wrong passenger."
When the train emerged from the tunnel the
person who had been mistaken for the son
was observed adjusting his neck-tie and col
lar, and remarked that:he did not know what
the matter was with the ladies in front of him,
but thought one of them must be insane, for
she had given him a severe shaking, torn off
hit neck-tie, scratched his face and disarran
ged his hair, and he was at t loss to give any
other account for the sudden attack that had
been made upon him.
Som. Suoormo BErwirss Coe:fut.—At a
county court held not a hundred miles from
this city, a distinguished member of the bar,
in appearing to the court for the discharge of
his client, wound up with the statement that
if the court sent him on for further trial, a
stain would be left on his character teat could
not be washed off "byall the waters'of the blue
ocean, and all the soap that could be manufac
tured from the ponderous carcass of the Com
monwealth's Attorney." To this the ponder
ous attorney promptly replied, that while he
"deemed it foreign to the case at the bar, he
desired' to advise the court if they thought it
advisable to boil his body into soap, that they
should look to the opposite counsel for the
concentrated lye out of which to make it!"
' Court, bar and speCtators exploded, and our
informant knoweth nothing more even now.—

Ox Thursday evening, a lady of Troy, sit
ting in her room, was instantaneously op
pressed with the conviction that her little son
had fallen from the window in his sleeping
apartment to the ground below. She repelled
the thought as an impossibility. In a few
moments more it flashed across her mind with
such force that she could not resist it. She
hurried up to the bedside of her son, and
there, to her intense horror, she discovered
the lad sleeping on the window-sill, the win ,
dow open, his head projecting outside—be was
on the very point of falling .to the pavement
below! Who can explain this phenomena,
which is unquestionably true?

FAST WITH THE WORD FAST.—Richard
Grant White, Mr. Gould, or some other writer
who is accustomed to play upon "words and
their uses," might write an interesting chapter
on the changes which are r♦g upon many
English words. These changes terribly p'.r
plex foreigners, who are never sure when they
get hold of the right meaning of a word. For
instance, a puzzled Frenchman with the word
a :
"Zis horse, sair, he go queek, what you
say 2"
"Yes, he is.afast horse-"
"Ah! pardon, monsieur, but your friend
say he make fast his horse, and he tie him to
a post so he not go at all."
"Very true, he is made fast by being tied."
"Ah, zat cannot be ; he cannot go fast ; but
what you call a man zat keeps fast ?"
"Oh, he is a good man who does not eat on
fast days."
- "But I have seen one bon vivant who eat
and drink and ride, and do every sing. Ze
people say he is a bad man—he is vere fast."
"True, that is called living a fast life."
"Ah, certainment ; zen all ze days of his life
moost be fast days."
"Certainly they are."
"Eh Bien! Does he eat every day?"
"Certainly he does."
"Zen how can he keep fast ?"
"Why,—he keeps going, to be sure."
"3lais, tenet! You tell me to stand fait
when you want me to keep still, and go fast
when you wish me to run,—how shall I know
what is it you mean by ze fast."
Tea STOLEC WATOH, — OI I e. of the best
stories we remember referring to.a stolen watch
comes from a French source. In the pit of
the old French opera, one of the audience
suddenly discovered that his watch was gone.
The envening's entertainment had, not com
menced, and the owner of the property mount
ed a bench, stated the loss, which could not
have occured above twoor three minutes, and
begged those around him to remain perfectly
quiet, as his watch struck the hours like a
,clock, and, it then being on the stroke of
seven, the watch would soon indicate into
whose possession it had fallen. There was a
ri i i,
dead silence ; but the eye o the proprietor
detected an individual who trying to edge
away from the vicinity, an he immediately
denounced the skulker as the thief. The lat
ter was seized, and the watch found upon
him ; and as the owner quietly put it in his
pocket, he remarked, "The watch does not
strike the hours, but I thought my assertion
that it did would enable me to strike out the
thief." ~
"Does your watch go well ?" asked a by
stander of the happy owner.
"It both goes well and returns well," replied
the latter.
Wno ARE THE BEST Boys. — A man once
advertised for a boy to assist in the work of
the shop and to go errands, etc. A. few hours
after the morning's papers announced - that
such a boy wits wanted, hit shop was thronged
with appli '
al
is for the situation. Boys of
every grade f m the neatly dressed intelligent
youth, down the ill-bred clumsy boor, came
either in ho of a situation or to see if an op
portnnity offenad for a speculation.
The man, at a loss to decide among so
many, determined to dismiss them all and
adopt a plan which he thought might lesson
the number and aid him in his difficult deci
sion.
On the morning following an advertisement
appeared in the papers, to this effect :
"Wanted to assist in a shop, a boy who obeys
his mother." Now, my little friends, how
many boys, think you, came to enquire for
the situation after this advertisement ap
peared ? If lam rightly informed, among all
the lads of the great city, who were wanting
the means of earning a living or getting a
knowledge of business, there were but two who
could fearlessly come forward and say, "I
obey my mother."
DAxorso.—An English lady at the Court o f ,
Vienna, with whom an "Imperial Highness' ,
danced three times on the same evening, flat
tered by his dttention, frankly expressed her
gratifitiation at the compliment. "I did not
intend it as a compliment," was the answer.
"Then," said the lady, "your Highness must
be very fond of dancing," "I detest dancing,' ,
was the unsatisfactory response. "What,
then, may I ask, can be your Imperial High
ness' motive for dancing?" "Madam," wis
the exalted personage's curt reply, "my med
ical attendant advises me to perspire."
"Is there any person whom you partic
uhuiy wish me to marry ?" said a widow ex
pectant to her dying spouse, who had been
somewhat of a tyrant in his day. "Marry the
devil, if yon like," was the gruff reply. "Oh,
no, my dear, you know it is not lawful to marry
two brothers."
"Heys yon the 'Exile ofErin' here ?" asked
a lady, a few days since, of a clerk in a book
store. "No ma'am," was the answer;
"hain't got no egg's ile ; we've got a prime arti

A Prea's PiAK miner, writing to a Minne

Linux any SMALL KIIMILLI ron 8111 D. —We
have heretofore called attention to the impor
tance of selecting the largest and bed variety
of corn for seed. Every farmer should select
his seed from his own crop, when he is gather
ing the'corn, and not depend upon any other
portion of the country for a supply. Cora
that has been acclimated will yield much the
largest crop. A correspondent gives his ex
perience in raising corn as follows :
"Some ten years ago I planted an ear of corn
to test the difference between the product of
the kernels of both ends and the middle of the
sate ear, and will give yon the result. The
soil was just alike, the cultivation the same,
and the crop very different. I planted the
first two rows from the large end of the ea;
the next twd rows from the middle, and the
last two rows from the tip or small end; and
planted all the same morning.t The law end
produced fair.sized ears, with irregular rows,
much as you will find them at the end of the
ear.
The middle kernels produced large ears,
mostly straight rowed and fair. The tips brought
forth nubbins only ; there was not a fair ear
on the two rows of corn. I have raised corn.
more or less, for forty years ; and now plant
only about half, or at most two-thirds of the
kernels on each ears of corn, and generally
raise good crops: Save your seed corn and
hang up in the fall.
CmISG HAY EARLY.—It is now better un
derstood than formerly that some kinds of bay
should be cut early, especially for cows. But
in the declaration of new doctrines we are dis
posed to go to the extreme. Because some
grass cut in June or early July makes better
hay, it is not to be assumed that granfall
Clover, orchard grass, timothy, attain their
growth and mature rapidly and early, and very
soon, if not cut, loose their good qualify ; and
this is so also of some other kinds of grass
growing on rich and warm uplands, and on
any highly cultivated land. But there is a
great deal t f meadow which affords a very
superior quality of hay, though cut late in
August. This is the case with much , of the
bottom lands, or river meadows, where the
grass does not attain half its growth by the
fourth ofJtily, and, if cut so early, would want
its superior quality. It dries up rapidly, the
juices being only partially developed, and it
lacks nutriment. Any one who has had oc
casion to mow a strip of such bi the early part
of July, and to cut the grass
... adjoining this
strip four weeks latter, will be Wrack with ob
serving the difference, not finly in quality.
but in quantity of two cuttings, There is
also a great deal of upland meadow, where
grass is of slow growth and late, and "where
the quality of it for hay improves nearly as
long as it continues to grow, retaining its good
color and rich aroma quite late in the season.
In seasons of low temperature, such ineadows
will furnish an excellent quality of hay, cnt
as late as the tirst of September.—Country
k Gentleman.
FEEDING NIECE Cows.—We do not, as a
general rule, feed liberally enough. We do
not use a sufficient variety of food for ooss in
milk, nor is the quantity anything like What
might be fed to advantage, either in 'summer
or winter: Many farmers seem to act as if
the food consumed was so much to be. added
to the cost of keeping rather than so much
raw material used in the manufacture of milk.
If they owned a mill they would feed Into it
all the grain it would grind ; try to keep it
running at full speed, and furnish the largest
amount of its products of which it were ame
bic, taking into account, of course the wear
and tear of machinery. They would try to
get the largest yield consistent with-economy
and good management.
The same rule ought to be adopted in feed
ing cows. Instead of being content with small
or even ordinary yield, we should so filed as '
to get ali we can consistently with a proper
regard to the health and protracted usefulness
of the animal. They have carried the matter
of feeding to a far higher state of perfection In
Europe than we have in this country. It may
almost be said to be reduced to a science, so
minute and careful hive many of the experi
ments and systems oilfeedin,g become.
LIQUID ltlemuce.-IJtirte diluted with five
or six waters, or house-sewage, which is bet
ter, as InAnding the drehutge item sinks and
water closets, is excellent for flower beds, and
especially for roses, and may be applied 'lithe
period of growth from early Spring to late Au
tumn. Soot, properly diluted, maybe
ly applied. Guano is as good for the purpose
as home sewage, but not better. Bone dust
is good, pointed into the surface of the soil.—
Sheep's dung makes good liquid mature, but
is not so powerful as either house sewage or
guano. If the sinks and water closet' lq com
municate with the liquid manure well, it will
need no diluting ; at least we never mix with
it any water. In conclusion we will add the
expression of our conviction, that, for the gen
erality of soils and crops, there is no liquid
manure equal to house sewage.' For potted
plants, especially if soft-wooded, we use it
much weakened with water, and not oftener
than once a week. A knowledge of the soil,
and of the plant and its health, la needed he
fore any one can say what manure can pro
bably be most suitable.—American Journal
of Agriculture.
LAND Msescas.—Every farmer should have
a rod measure—a light, stiff pole—jmit 161-s
feet long, lbr measuring land. By a little
practice he can learn to step a rod at live pa
•ces, which will answer very waft ordinary
farm work. Ascertaining the number of rods
in width and length of a lot you wish to meas
ure, multiply one into the other, arid divide
by 160, and you have the number of acres, as
160 square rods makes a square acre.
