A few Sabbaths ago I listened to the. - discourse Of a . elergYinatrwhose corporal characteristics maybe deEicribed fol-' lows "head, , . and, broad ; nedk; short, and tlitilig'-the 'shedders in a ban ' net strongly 'suggestive of the trunk of an oak tree; chest,' sufficiently capacious , - tor any emergency of headit* neck ; ab dominal viscera; correspondinkly propor tionate; extremities, inall re!ipects atlap ,itcd to wield sudeessfully the entire mus cular torso matrufactured by the above -mentioned— machinery ;,,,,weight of this lgtru%nious whole," 'two hundred pon~its.

Ile took off his nrged baits and shook the snow out of them, then went to a corner dupboard and returning with a book, sad down to dry his feet. ' - Supper was soon ready, but the other members of the family bad scarcely more thrig. commenced their. meal, when this • boy left the *le - and sat down by the . tire, holding lifs bOok in one hand .and a • piece;nr bread iu the other, intent upon reading while be ate. I naturally found myself in an.iuquifing state of mind,, and my interrogations ran thus " What book are you reading, my bong" "Irving'sgo was the reply. "Do you at tend school?" "I have not since I was ten years old." "Do you read many . books?" "I cannot many such books as I like. Mr. B— lends me-his, but- be is poor and can't buy Many." ; " What bo,iks do you like ?" History, biogra - pity. and travel's." The next -evening at 'sundown I was .Standing on a street. corner, .in a small,. business-like town, when a stout, robust looking boy, of 'perhaps twelve years, with his forehead-wearing a large purple spot, and one eye badly swollen, passed me. At-the same moment, two gentle , men (?) , whom I leirned were school di rectors, 'met a. third .at a crosiipg nedr where I — Stood." "Ali, hey ! Snlith," said one of the two to'the third, j"'it's a pity that the ruler you broke liver that boy's bead ,hadn't4zi - ett-a plebe of oak ,plank.; berhaps 'twould have 'knocked a '"W" brains -into it." "By jolly ! thety's ono. thing certain, it • could not have knocked any out,l'Or the fool-hasn't any," replied Stuitli , .• " Tha'es the,. way cto. - do it," -responded the second . 4s(the iwo gen _ th-nteu i l i ef;n:e mentioned, "maintain your 'au 'ority and never mind the fuss they're making, about it—we'll sland by you."'- "That hoy's a 'perfect •devil, besides tieing Mae, fool," rejoined, . whereupon the trio simultaneously e ; jet,lt.elLa small pool of tobacco juice upon .f..elp,t;c l eittent, and after exchanging sonic furtheti 'conversation, which 1 did not • - hear separated fVitha coarse haw, haw, . haw ! on the part of Smith"; The fancied reverberations of that laugh annoyed mit :Meditations for half an hour afterward= meditations upon the mistakes of uals and society iu general. .

Therefore in all,humanity I hasten to fall back upon my former position, that •of a passenger instead Of an engineer, and con tent myself.

And perhaps • ' the Mistakes or parenti in selecting occu patrons or positions for, their children ire as numerous and also as injurious to the • . children, aswelfaii to society; as any other class of-mistakes of which I might write. I . hnow. a boy; nine years of age, who • seems sometimes, 'completely fascinated with machinery, and has taken apart ev _ crything'on his father's premises that has • wheel, bolt, or screw,. from the - crank - of the grindstone and the clock on the mantelpiece, to the reaper and - cewing machine, for the sake of seeing, -as he ~ says, " how it goes together.'' At school the teacher wonders how this boy can be , so dull in arithmetic, since* he iSoonstant ly buoy with slate and book ; but the teacher does misee the sketches oche wa.shing-machin ,' . fanning-mill, . to - "t, , • pump, and steam engine that he rubs off each day befo the hour of recitation. . This boy has brother _ Tom, two • years 22(). • . younger thati himself, whose only' regret is that ho was born withoit wings i and who is distinguished for his persistence in following in 'the oppogite directions of :digging and climbing, He has been safe . ly taken down sb many times from the 'wind-mill, the liberty-.pole, and the stee ple of the barn, that his Mother has ceas ed saying, "He'll get his peck broke yet -, • --:-'l know he - Will."

'At Troy the:pupils of the graded school made a fine display of maps, while , R. C. Kendall exhibited a valuable cabinet of foreign minerals and 'curiosities. At Le- Roy the educational department em-• braced school apparatus, mechanical' drawing, maps, geological charts, pen manship, a cabinet of fossils and minerals belongg to the Chemung, Catskill and Carboniferous periods, Indian relics, it collection of school books nearly a centu ry old, and many curiosities. The educa tional department- at ToWanda was under the immediate charge of 'Superintendent Ryan, who.spared no pains to have all who visited the educational building both edified and profited. 'The, specimens of map-drawing from the -Susquehanna Col legiate Institute, Troy Graded School, and the graded schools of.Towinda, Ath ens, and Other parts of the county, were.. veryfine :Ind almost innumerable. The display of fine apparatus,from the TciVt'anS: da diuded School and the Collegiate In stitute, attracted the attention of many. Some of the young men, from the Towan da GlVed School were active in . giving experiments„shcrwing the uses of the ap paratus. . There-were two collections of minerals and fossils on exhibition, one from the Collegiate Institute and the oth er from Leßoy. It required the whole at tention of one aisistant to give explana tions coneefning them. The interest man- iiested in thd different : divisions of the ed ucational department, though greater than expected, might be made Still greater by having still'greater premiums. Great credit should be given to the . County Su perintendent for his zeal in making his department one of the most attractive on the.grounds. GEOLOGY is attracting the attention of many of our teachers and other friends of education, as may be attested by the many inquiries made concerning ,the fos sils and minerals shown at the education .l department at Leßoy and Towanda. IT is a noticeable fact that:the teachers Of the county have made rapid progress during the past year in 'the use df diacri tical marks as given in school readers and spelling -books, but still there is great de ficiency in pronunciation. IdAr.Drawing has received its full share of attention in many Rlaces, the proof of which was shown-at the fairs. Wiscefianeouo. GREAT BARGAINS! J.

Hints far the Work of the Month. Amertcag Alirdaultairlst. Corn.-43tanding corn is injured by every day'adeltty In cutting. Thelod der loses value by rain and frost, and the grainis apt to become damaged. One of the marks of a poor farmer— poor iribhth meanings of the word.— is thatAis work is always behind; this means always lois of material, and, therefore ofponey. Corn Husking 4 --Corn is a crop that needs to be' inally disposed of .in 'the field. Itcanuot well be stored ' in stacks or barns as the other grain, because the ears and husks Cannot be dried perfectly. As delay in the field will not dry the dars thoroughly, there is no need to wait for the husk ing. Two weeks' exposure is sufil cent to 'prepare, .tye crop forlinsk ing, and in the pleasant October days it may be husked with less inconven ience than later. A Saving of Labor may be effected by taking the wagon to the field, ana asa - "basket of corn is kusked, throw ing it into the box. When the crop. of corn is large c two wagons may be used, one to lie loaded while the other is unloaded. This- saves the labor of handling the corn the sec ond time. 'A sufficient number of briskets should be' providedfor gath ering the corn: Two .wagons and a pair of horses, will keep twenty ordi- nary huskers employed, and two or three hinders will be'kept busy in following them. • Cora Cribs.—Tbe- loss caused by damage to corn by rats' and s mjce, is very great. It- is doubtless one per cent of the, crop, and probably four or five times as much. If but one per cent, it equals 12i million bushels, or About four million dol lars' w orth each year. If every farm of 20 acres or over 'has a corn crib, there are about three million. To make every crib permanently rat proof, would not cost more than the amount 'of the' annual loss, and enough money would he , saved, to give every farmer in the whole coun try a copy of s good agricultural paper, through which he could 'learn how many times the above sum of money could-he saved each year. Baying ' Corn Stalks.—Tbere ' is no necessity to milke r , stacks of stalks, as they keep 'better -in small ones. Many farmeri in„Abe Eastern I and Middle, States; nue-them up in large shocks in thOeld, or ;s.lot, near the barn, binding them welt', especially at the top, and the, fodder keeps bright and -green in this way. This is little trouble, and the plan might be followt.4l\elscaherwith I profit.. , • Corn Smut.-L-The're is no, doubt of the hurtful character of corn smut, and cattle should be prevented from , davouring stalks affected' with it. Where the cattle are worth more 'than the labor of saving them, this may be done by throwing.out smuty stalks by themselves, and burning them. Fertilizers for .Wheat.—Any ferti lizers to be used for wheat, should be applied without delay. As a good growth as possible ought to'be made before winter. ' Superphosphate of Lime; Nitrate of Soda, On small quantities however at this season-on account of its solnbility),,,fine Bone flour - Peruvian Guano; Salt and Plaster can each be used with benefit according to circumstances.. •., , A Farmer should. know his own Farm,.—A farmer cannot work his farm safely, without knowing all abontjiiii soil. Every field should be studied as to the effects of certain methods with fertiliZers upon_ it. Then the owner can act with reason able certaintY. The' plan of experi menting with -4- tertilizers; suggeste i : heretofore in the American Agri -, urist, is hilt ;toe for a year ,thy, but should be followed' up in :ucces. sive years, until the charac •r of the field is known. This is t best sea- 1 son to experiment up& All crops, and no time should osif, it - is to be done; a year-wi thus be'saved. Root Crops.— sngels and - beets are not' hardy,• nd should be put away safely b ore-Severe frosts. In pitting thes roots, it is well, to re membert tto prevent heating; they j i should put into the piles pilehen dry ; t e pits should not be too-high or lege, but may be - -as long as de al • $ , and a ventilator will be,neces : ry at every 6 feet. It is safest toil finish the pit at first4although' the full. coating of earth Aynot be put I on until cold weather-arrives. In Gathering' late Potatoes, all that I are dug should :be put away safely' before night. At this •season - it will not be safe to leave this.tender tuber ' exposed over night, DO slight frost I may spoil tow. Take Care of the Potato. Tops:— It is useful to let the pigs glean the, potato fields. But now - that Paris Green is generally „used,. the tops should be gathered. and )4died be-. 1 fore the pigs are turned: .in. Long acquaintance with this deadly - poison should not lead to. careleiness with it. Neither is it safe to throw.' the; tops into the yards 'where the pigs 1 are kePt. ~,„. .- . 1 Horses.— fie, season is too far nd- vgnced for turning horses • Out at night. .A cold rain • coming on sudi denly, may do much harm.- If lies I are Caught in the rain and thorough ly drenched, it will be well to rub them dry, and then blanket them as soon as they reach home.,. But the 1 blankets should never be put on un- UT the horses are thoroughly dry. Harness that has been soaked with water, will dry harkuuless it is dreis ed while damp with some kind of non-drying. oil. First wipe off the I harness with's sponge, and - then with a cloth kept for this purpose, you can .apply the oil Or dressing tho,r oughly.- A coating of water-plot dressing 'given now will be useful, but the harness 'should be thorough ly washed and made : perfectly . clean. Economy:—The value of eve - r 34 thing a farmer buys, will probably increase considerably before long, if the increase has not already begun. Whether agricultural =products ad; ranee in value in propOrtion or not, a rigid economy in expenditures will be prudent. The experience of,„the past few years' ought not to be soon forgotten. Every tool,, - implement,- machine, or appliance about the premise!) - should be used and pre serve -with care; and before any. thing is purchased, it may well be con sidered if it cannot -tie produeed or made at hogs. Then •the money may be doubly;saved, for the needed ankle may be :had without, much cost,' and the money it would have .required will be still in the pocket, Coics.—lf .
