Z Jul tie #un Jloir Hi Jhcn. A Mlfflfciir of ago, when Mich s£an was a new ckuntry, in Living-! gton county, there lived a family by tlio uanio of Clayton, and one called ; Perkins also —as well as a great many others Pete Clayton was a tall, fine look . ing follow —a noble specimen of out back-woodsmen stanking six feet two inches in his stockings. Pete had taken a shine to Miss Sally Perkins, and it was known in fact that they were engaged, but the day when! the knot was to be lied had not yeti been divulged. In the month of August, 1849, June's circus came through their town lor the first time, and in fact it was the first time, and in fact it was the first circus that had ever passed that way and there were a great many people that had never seen one. When the im portant day arrived the town was tilled to overflow with a motley crowd, ot course, and every young fellow had his gal. Now, Peto wanted to get married on the coming Christmas, but Sally wished to have it put oft till the next spring. When the ticket wagon was opened the tent was filled in a hurry. Peto and Sally had been look ing through the side shows and they were late in getting in, and the per formance had already commenced They walked around the entire ring t tying to find a seat, and although they could seat two thousand people, every seat was occupied. 'Never mind/ said Sal, 'l'd just as lief stand up.' Put the gallant Pete couldn't think of it, and said, 'wait a min't, I'll get you a chair/ and off he started, leav ing Sal all alone. Just at this moment the clown came in, crossed in his usual custom, and dancing around the ring, stopped right in front of Sal and began to sing : 'Oh Sally is the gal for me.' This caused Sal to blush, for she thought that the clown was looking at her. As she stood near the ring, of course she hid the view of those on { the lower seats behind her, and as usual on such occasions, the clown cracked his jokes at such offenders until they take the hint and find a seat, but she said she would rather stand up. At this the clown coin inenced hisjokes, remarking to the ring master :- 'There's a chance for me now.' A chance for you V 'Yes, don't 3-011 sec that gal has lost her beau, and she's looking at me, i know/ and turning three or four sorn ersai Its, he stopped in front of Sal and began to 6ing : 'Oh Sally i. the gal for me, 1 would have no other. And if Sally died to-morrow night, I'd marry Sally's mother.' This was evidentlj* meant for her. raised Sal's dander, and she burst out with 'l'm the gal for 30U, am I? Marty ny mother, would yer? You low lived spotted scum of the earth. It 103* feller was here he would wallop you lor that. I wouldn't stu3' here another minit—nor neither would any decent people either.' Saying which she rushed out of the tent atnid roars of laughter. Thought lie Had Her. An old Dutch farmer had a hand some daughter, named Minnie, who lately* joined the Methodist church, against which the old farmer was somewhat prejudiced. The young min inter, under whose instrumentality Miss Minnie was converted, visited her frequently, and excited his suspicion that all was not right. Accordingl}*, he visited the church on Sunday night, and seated himself, unobserved, among the congregation. Soon after taking his scat, the min ister, who was preaching from Daniel, sth chapter, 251h verse, repeated in a loud voice the words of his text, 'Mene. mene, tekel upharsin,' upon which the old farmer sprang to his feet, seized the afrighted girl by the arm and hur ried her nut of the meeting house Having reached the church 3-ard, he gave vent to his feelings in the words: ' I knows dare vassomething wrong, and now J schwares to 'em.' ' Whv, father, what do 3011 mean?' replied the bewildered and innocent girl. • Did'nt 1/ shouted the old man, striking his fists together, and stamp ing with his foot, 'didn't 1 bear de pur son call out to you, ' Minnie, Minnie, tickle <le parson ?' AGHICULTURAIa. Frcnrh Method of Raising Tomatoes.— As soon as a cluster of flowers is visi hie, the stem is topped down to the cluster, so 1 hat the flowers terminate the stein. The effect is that the sap is immediately impelled into the two buds next below the cluster, which soon push strongly* and produce anoth er cluster of flowers each. When these are visible, the branch to which they belong is also topped down to their level; and this is done five times sue cessively. 113* this means the plants become stout, dwarf bushes, not above eighteen inches high. In order to pre vent their falling over, st ieks or strings are stretched horizontally along the rows, so as to keep the plants erect In addition to this, all the laterals that have no flowers, and after the fifth top ping, all laterals whatsoever are nip ped off. In thiH way tho ripo sap directed into tho fruit, which acquire a beauty, size and excellence unatluin able by other means. Farm Labor. —Tho price of farm la hor, as given in the Monthly Report ol tho Agricultural Department, is: In the Eastern States, 833.30 per month ; in the Mi Idle States, 830.07 per month; in tho Western States, 828.91 ; in the Southern States, 810.00; in Oregon, 835.75; in California, 845 71 In Mas sachusetts the price is 838 91 per month which is higher than any other Stato 1 . BSBW ■■ except California. This is attributed to the great variety of industry in the ! State, only about one fourth of the peo ! pie being employed in agriculture.— This makes a ver\* lively demand for ! all farm products. The greater varie ty of occupations in a State the better for laborers. There has been an ad vance in the price of labor of about ! seventy per cent, in the last fort 3* 3'ears, | notwithstanding an immigration of 5,- 000,000 of people. The greatest want of the country is labor to develop our ' resources. —.4 m. A;/. The Ruining Tree. The Island of Ferro is one of the largest of the Ca nary group, and it has received its name on account of its iron bound soil, through which no river or streams flow. It lias also hut few wells and these not very good. But the great Preserver and Siistainer of all, reme dies this inconvenience in away so ex it raordinary that lie gives in this un deniable demonstration of His won derful goodness. In the midst of the island there grows a tree, the loaves ot which are long and narrow, and con tinues in constant verdure, wintorand summer, and the branches are covered with a cloud which is never dispelled, but resolvingitsclf'intomoisture,causes to fall from its leaves a very clear wa ter, in such abundance that cisterns | placed at its foot to receive it are never empty.

Moss on Flower Tots. —Ladies who are fond of cultivating flowers in the house will find a great benefit to the plants ly spreading a coating of moss over the earth in the flower pots This keeps the water from evaporating, and temperature more uniform. Tea grounds are often used for the same purpose. When a flower pot sets in a saucer, with a hole in the bottom of the pot, put a little sand iu the saucer and cover it with moss. You will then have a vciy simple and admirable arrange ment Housekeepers, farmers, mechanics, | every body don't care to know how to stop tiie flow of blood from a cut or wound. Here's the remed3*: Take the fine dust of tea and bind it close to the wound. After tho blood ceases to flow, laudanum may be advantage ; OUSI3- applied to the wound Due regard to these instructions in the absence of medical skill, might save inary lives.

They sew direct from the spools, and require no rewinding of thread. 'J. They are tnore easily understood and used, and | less liable to derangement than other machines, j 3. They are capable of executing perfectly, without change of adjustment,a much greater variety of work ! than other machines. | 4. The stitch made by these machines is much more i fitm, elastic, and dufable, especially upon articles i winch require to be washed and ironed, than any I other stueh. I o. This stiteh. owing to the manner in which the ' under thread is inwrought, is much the most plump I and beautiful in use. and retains this plumpness ami beauty even upon articles frequently washed and ironed until they are worn out. 6. The structure of the seam is such that though it be cut or broken at intervals of only a few stitches it will neither open, run, or ravel, but remains firm and durable. 7. Unlike other machines, these fasten bothendsof the seam by their own operation. 8. With these machines, white silk is used upon the right or face side of the seam, cotton may be used upon the other side without lessening the strength or | durability of the seam. '1 ins can be done on noothet i machine, and is a great saving upon all articles stiteh- I ed or made up with silk. ; 9. These machines, ill nddition to their superior merits as instruments for sewing, by a change of ad ; lustment, easily learned and practiced, execute the ; ; most beautiful and permanent embroidery and uriia-; i mental work.
