I once startled a young man, without at all

It It doubtless desirable that there should be
good lawyers—honest, capable, judicious—
rind such lawyers may achieve honor and
wealth as worthily and usefully as tho' they
grew corn or shod horses ; and yet, the de

are popularly designated "the professions."—
A boy who has mastered.the quantum of math
tondos, with the "little Latin and leer Greek,"
'which secure him a college diploma, general
•ly feels that his learning (?) would be wasted
on a farm or in any mechanical or manufac
turing pursuit—that he might as well have
saved his time and money, unless he shall az
pile to become a Doctor of Law, Physic, or
Divinity. Hence, "the professions" are en
ormously overcrowded, and their votaries too
often unemployed or underpaid. There are
New England townships of no more than four
hundred families, few or none of them wealthy,
which have six to eight distinct religious so
cieties, each of them requiring its separate
house of worship and clergyman. And the
newest village of twenty to forty cabins, on the
western verge of civilization bears concurrent
testimony, In the plethora of its lawyers and
doctors, to the overcrowding, throughout our
country, of - "the professkms." We are not a
learned nor yet a cultivated community ; yet
the proportion of our entire population which
is diverted from productive industry to the so
called intellectual vocations, is exceeded in
Italy alone.
. • We ,cannot all be fanners ; nor is it desirable
that we should be. There Is a more urgent
need in our country of "captains of industry"
In other departments, especially those of manu
facturing and mining. If there were to-day
one hundred thousand young men in the Union
thoroughly qualified to direct operations in
these departments—to convert wool, cotton,
flax, etc., into serviceable fabrics at the small
est cost of labor, and to detect, 'trace, value,
open and work mineral veins and others de
,posits with the accuracy of Science and the
prescience of Genius, there ;would very soon
be room and work for all. While, therefore,
judge the farmer's life, on the whole, prefer
able to any other,. as affording the surest pro
mise of competence, comfort, and freedom
from torturing anxiety, I do not urge nor wish
ell my readers to become farmers. An en-

And thinks of many a lonely morrow
No one can share the 'might of grief
That bows the form of all who bear it,
No sigh or tears cap give relief,

No comfort can a Mend import
In words, however. kindly spoken;
No hands can dry the tears that start
From the chilled knintains of the heart,

But from each calmer, holier thought
Can we alone our comfort borrow,
We find It soonest when untaught;
Joy comes to us again unsought,
And we forget our silent sorrow.
THE CHAMELEON AND PORCUPINE.
A 'PAHL&
A chameleon once met a porcupine, and
complained that he had taken great pains to
make friends with everybody, but, strange to
say, he had entirely failed, and could not now
be earn that he had a friend in the world.
"And by what means," said the porcupine,
"have you sought to make friends?"
"By flattery," said the chameleon. "I have
adapted myself to all I met ; humo ed the fol
lies and foibles of every one. In order to
make people believe that I like them I have
imitated their manners, as if I considered them
models of perfection. So far have I gone in
this that if has become . a habit with me, and
nOw my very skin takes the hue and complex
ion of the thing that happens to be nearest.—
Yet all this has been in vain, for everybody
calls me a turn-coat, and I am genera* con
sidered selfish, hypocoritical, and base."
"And no doubt yon deserve all this," said
the porcupine. "I have taken a different
course, but I must confess that I have as few
friends as you. I adopted the rule to resent
every injury, nay, every encroachment . upon
my dignity. I would allow no one even to
touch me without sticking into him one or
more of my sharp quills. I determined to take
care of number one ; and the result has been,
that while I have vindicatedtey rights, I have
created a universal dislike. lam called old
Touch-me-not, and if JIM not as much de
spised, I am even more disliked than you, Sir
Chameleon."
A FACT NOT Gitsmor.tr.m . ICSOWN.—The or
igin of the portrait for the Goddess of Liberty
upon our coins is of great interest. Mr. Spen
cer, the inventor of Spencer's lathe, used by
the American Bank Note Company, was the
artist'who cut the first die for' our American
coin. He cut an exact medallion of Mrs.
Washington,the wife of General Washington,
and the first few coins were struck with her
portrait. When General Washington saw
them he was displeased, and requested the
figure to be =moved. Mr. Spencer altered
the features a title, and putting a cap upon its
head, called it the Goddess of Liberty. If fu
ture Vista will bear this in mind, they will
always take Mrs. Washington's portrait for
their guide when wishing to produce the god
dess.
trstraiss Mossy.—A witticism by a distin
guished member of the bar, Sergeant 8., is
going the rounds of the London clubs. 'Ser
geant IL and Sergeant N. met in the robing
room of Westminster, when the letter bitter
ly complained of the amount of work which
he was saddled with, declaring that it was
killing him. "Why, then," said 8., "do you
work so hard.? Give up some of your prac
tice—you have made a lot of money, you
know ?" "Yes," replied X, "but I have got
into a groove and cannot get out of it." "A
groove !" retorted B, ; "yes a groove of love
of money. But, remember, M., you cannot
take your money with you when you die, and
if you could,in your case, it would be useless,
for it would be melted in a minute or two."
CEI:EI=I
Or Old Gov. stuyvesant, some years after
the British took posession of New York, ap
peared before the Governnr, (Carteret,) with
complaint that he was annoyed by men and
boys bathing in front of his house in a nude
state. Gor. Carteret assured him it should
be stopped; but happening to , recollect, said :
"Why, Governor, your house is at some dis
tance from the river, how can it incommode
the ladles of your family ?' , lry, you see,"
said old Peter, shaking his cane, "mine gals

"John," says the publisher to the book
keeper, "how stands the cash account ?"
"Small balance on hand, sir."
"Let's see," rejoined the publisher, "how

John begins to figure arithmetically ; so
much due to Potkins, so much to Typos, so
much to Grubble, and so on, through a dozen
dittOs. The publisher stands aghast.
"Here is not money enough, by a jugful."
"No, eir ; and, besides, there is the devil
to pay."

a long time in hi g service—" John, you have

A few.xtbontins after the breaking out of the
War in 1881, tr toasty of fear ladies and four
gentlemen were dining together at Delmoni
co's in New York. During the , dinner, In
talking over the national. affairs, the gentle
men,oste and all, solentnly• agreed to volun
teer and serve 'during the war. The ladies
were very enthusiastic, and promised to do
all in their power to help the Cause. They
then aigned a document, agreeing, if they liv
ed through the struggle, to meet at the house
of one of the ladies on a certain day, /tour and
year, anil.there relate their several experien
ces. The arty namedliirthe re-union was that
14th of Jane, 1867, when they all assembled
together once more. Two of the gentlemen
had been, promoted ou the field for bravery ;
one was a colonel, and the other a major.—
The remaining two had both been wounded,
one having lost, a leg, and the other an arm.—
As for the ladles, one was married to the gal
lant soldier who lost his leg, he having fallen
in love with her while she was nursing the
wounded in the hospital ; another was enga
ged to the Colonel, and the third to the gen
tleman whO lost his arm. The fourth young'
lady and the Major assured the rest that they
bad arranged to live single the remainder of
their lives. The evening was delightfu t •
passed in listening to the many thrilling and
a few amusing adventures each had.
HOLLOW-HEARTED BRITTLE ENTALIBIL—The
following incident shows the difference be
tween practical beneficence and maudlin se . nti
mentalism :
Eugene Sue used to visit, ahnost daily, one
of the most ashionable ladies of Paris, Mad
ame de , and hold forth, In her richly
furnished boudoir, on the 'condition of the
poor.
"Do you ever relieve their distress ?" asked
Madame de—, at the close of one of these
harangues.
"To a trifling extent," answered Sue ; "but
though my gifts are always small, they are
always cheerfully bestowed. I give one
fourth of my income in alsa - . 1 "
That afternoon, as he 10, the Cafe de Pa r
ift, where he had been eating a costly disner,
an apparently old woman, clad in rags,
prayed for charity.
"Go away," was ate stern reply.
"Bat I am starving—give me a single cop
per to Purchase bread with."
"I will give you in charge to a police offi
cer, if you bus annoy me."
"You will ?" said the beggar; "and yet,
Monsieur Eugene Sue, you are the man who
writes about the misery of the poor—you are
the workingman's champion—you are—"
"Who are you?" exclaimed Sae.
"Madame de---" was the reply, and the
disguised lady left the novelist to his reflec
tions.
'Bill' Ross is a great temperance lecturer,
end at Rushville, was preaching to the
young on his favorite theme. He said : "Now,
boys, when I ask you a question you must
not be afraid to speak right out and answer
me. When you look around and see all these
fine houseb, farms, and cattle,
.do you ever
think who own them all now ? Your fathers
own them, do they not ?' "Yes, sir," shouted
a hundred voices. "Well ; where will your &-
there be in twenty years from now ?" "Dead t"
shouted the boys, "That's right. And who
win ownsll tllTtk pileparty then ?" "We will.
"Right." "No*me,did you ever, in go
ing along the street, notice the drunkards
lounging about the saloon doors, waiting for
somebody to treat them?' "Yes, sir, lots of
them." "Well, where will they be in twen
ty years front now ?" "Dead !" exclaimed the
boys. "And who will be the drunkards then ?"
"Us boys !" Billy was thunderstruck.
gar John tells a story of Thompson and
Rogers, two married bucks inNew York,who
wandering horde late one night, stopped at
what Thompson supposed was his residence,
but which his companion insisted was his
own house.
Thompson rang the bell lustily, when the
window opened and a lady inquired what was
wanting.
"Madam," inquired Mr. TA, "isn't this Mr.
T-Thompson's house ?"
"No," replied the lady, "this is the resi
dence of Mr. Rogers."
"Well," ex‘laimed Thompson, "Mrs. T-
Thompson—beg your pardon—Mrs. Rogers,
won't you please step down to the door and
pick out Rogers, for T-Thompson wants to
go home."
("Or one occasion, as the Rev. - Matthew
Wilkes, a celebrated London preacher, was
on his way to a meeting of Ministers, he got
caught in a shower in the place called Bil
lingsgate, where there were a large number of
women dealing in fish, who were using most
profane and vulgar language. As he stepped
tinder a shed in the midst of them,he felt call
ed upon to give at least his testimony against
their wickedness.
"Don't you think," said he, speaking with
the greatest deliberation and solemnity, "I
shall appear as a swift witness against you in
the day ofjudgment ?"
"I presume sb," said one, "for the biggest
rogue always turns state's evidence !"
GrTwo old gentlemen of our acquaintance
were complimenting each other on their hab
its of temperance.
"Did yob ever, neighbor," said one, "see
me with more than I could carry ?"
"No, indeed," was the reply, "not ,I. But
I have seen you when I thought you had bet

A voLow coming out of a tavern one fros

the best canned maize we can find has as

re so.
I ;horned faithfully, anti abiays.meatilftw
t4ritY, at cont ealii . ling, through fotwinsion
Wore coining to a result that in the least Sat=
lOed me. But at length I stumbled hi the.
tlifrli upon a plan by which I have been ena
lbrto can corn successitilly with one hour's
ling, and bring it out after ohe year I know
—fit, I believe, with very near all the flavor
otifresh gathered green corn.
Orat, boil the corn previously Ilt)een min
utes, on the ear. This hardens the outside of
the grains so that they are readily Awned.—
Tlien.the grain Is dried in pans for an hourin
th; warm sunshine. ' Next move is to salt it
ju t so much as will season it for the table,
fil., tin cans with it, leaving a half inch of
sppee, put a gill or so of water Into each can,
seal up, leaving only an aperture the of a
large pin for the escape of gas. ,
Ilhus prepared, I place the cane riia Bat
towed kettle, havingin it mon water to
.
eh within half an inch of the pof the
cake. Then boil moderately bkree quarters of
vehour, and with a drop of solder seal up the
t in each can as it is taken from the kettle.
OM prepared and banned in this manner
attl set away in a cool place, I believe will
k9ep perfectly sweet and good as long as It is
required to keep it.
pur western savages have a method by
which they preserve green corn on the cob
through the winter perfectly sweet and fresh.
I have not quite reached the Indians' corn se
cret : but by the aid and advice of "Coma,"
who has been so much among the Wyandota,
Ottawas, Sacks, Foxes, Chippewas, Pawnees,
and Fetons of the Burnt Wood, that ke is
hituielf half a barbarian, I have got so near
tol the savage practice that I think 'I can ves
ture to say that green corn on the ear may be
k4pt in good condition through the whiter,
d the next spring and summer, till corn
c '.. es again, by observing the following
oes :
c .er the ears when the grains are fully
tloped, before they begin to glaze. First
them half an hour in a saltsickle made
stiong enough to float an egg. Then rinse
4in clean, cold water, and lay the ears in
wirm, clear weather on board; out in the sun,
orl, as well, inAloors, over a steady heat from
a itove, drying gradually for ten days, until
the l grains are shrivelled like auger corn, and
all the moisture is dried out of the cob. Then
al! that is required is to pack in-woodeit box
ed, and place where there is no dampness, and
bnt alight atmospheric change.
Wen wanted for use, soak ten or twelve
boars in tepid water, when the grains will be
fiSd, fairly filled out, and you may have
gSeewboiled corn on the cob almost equal to
that but an hour from the field.
,VA.LCABLY HINTS FOE THY SEASON.-1.. As
the pastures become short and dry, your stock
wll betray symptoms of uneasiness. Some
w i ll pine, some will be ill-tempered, and,
some will become unruly. The way to rem
edy this is to increase the supply of food.—
This may be effected indirectly by selling off
a part of your stock ; it may be effected di
reh..tly by putting the animals into fresh pas
ture, or by feeding extra foal, in vegetables,
Fain or meal, or by all these means combined.
There will be a great amount of food for
stock this fall. This may tempt many to try
tti keep too much stock. Be on your guard
against this.
It. Be very careful to preserve specimens of
al your ripening.fruits, especially from young
trees. We know some persons who have had
orchards bearing several years, and Who, af
ter all, have discovered this year, for the first
time, how valuable some kinds of - their fruit
were. A little attention to this matter now
will enable you to add to your number of fruit
trees judiciously.
3. Repair all leaky places in roofs; nail up
all open spots in the sides of barns and sheds,
and provide good shelter for stock before the
heavyaututnn storms occur.
4. The autumn is the be. 4 time far painting
all wood that needs this protection. Paint,
therefore, soon, all fences, posts, gates, sheds
and buildings that need painting, whether
new or old.
15. A. few days since we saw a hay rack,
several plows, a harrow, a cart, some ox
yokes and a one-horse wagon lying out of
dbors. They were baking in the sun, and
cracking open with exposure. Near by them
Was plenty of room to keep them all under
good shelter. We won't tell the man's
rime, but we hope that when he reada►thla,
he, and all others who have done the same
thing, will put all such implements under
cover. .
G. Of weeds we have had an extra number
and a most luxurious growth during the pres
ent year. Some weeks ago we solicited at
tention to this fact, and tp the necessity grow
ing out of it for extra 'exertions to subdue
them and prevent them from going to seed.-
1!•s a large proportion of farmers are very
citreless in regard to the eradication of weeds,
acid as such carelessness will be more produc
tive of mischief this yeai than it is usually,
it may not be it work of sapererogation to
call attention to the subject once more.—
Thong , _ t .• • late, it is not yet tat, late to mow
lown . lull up these pests, and to place
them in piles either for burning or forferment-
