IVMistake,Viiccording to some antbors .
-4 , ...wneaus, "to takti.wrong,' a deOnitiO
which well ?ppliett to the mistakes -4
which I purpose to write, viz., the mis s:
takeii of taking wroni , occuOations or
wrong pompons in life.
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 ,

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.
Nbiy, this minister w)/O believes God
calla his ministe:ZeS}and-gires them the.
.;_
words liscishes, them !tio'ittpeak," and
who re0149 . s wtitten sermons and mod
. .ern - theolegh r "gave out " the text, "Ile
that bath eats to hear, let him hear," and
discoursed IT an- hour and it q uarter
oti-Ihti7it''tlittial 'deafness or - iiinnkind in
.stamped the doer with a
_ , wceglity foot ; he pounded the
:Po.vver‘ j i ttl fists, and be made
•
(ti - otrlet) his
.andielfce hear at least"one
accePtable word, the'Arnen ! .
4.;few evenings later I' saw a youth Of
sixteen come into a house at about eight
o'.glock in the evening.; heliad gone out
. before daStight tba,V - moriritig, and bad
• been all dai hauling wood with an old,
slow team - of oxen, 'and the weather was
very cold. 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.
. "Mistakes everywhere !" I said. "And
• it I only held the reins of goVernment of
- this - world for a few. days, I'd - stop some
- of 'ern—rd send schoolmaster Smith to
the lock -up to be dosed oh bread and wa
ter for ninety days, .and those two direr
' tors to the insane asylum till they should
'give decided indications of mental Sound.
MSS. Then rd . start out that oaLc-necked,
* iron -fisted, brazen.lunged clirgYman of
- last Sabbath tO haul Wood with the slow
•
_ yoke oi: - . (Wei - r, and I'd send that slender
boy with the history 'Columbus to zcd

_ . • ._
And so /have made a mistake; a greAt
...„.
mistake, ire the presumption of even a
- • thong lit'ol : ventitringmy weakness among
the compleKito of this world's machinery.
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. With pointing out some of the
mistakes of life as./ see them, hoping all
, • the while that sonic philosopher' will be
, kind• enough to point out to the world a
remedy' for such mistakes. And perhaps

patrons or positions for, their children ire

class of-mistakes of which I might write.

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

THE Agricultural Fairs recently held'in
our county have been successful in many
ways, but the educational feature design='
ed more especially for the paPila and
teachers of our schools, has fa exceeded
the expecations of tha most sanguine.
'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.

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 . 'any inducement was
ever needed for-skillful mangement
of cows, the presenVlow price of milk
and dairy produelta.xould offer one.

possible way, is a-. - neCessity for
