Mrs. Bromblo took the whip, And went to follow the plough, plough ; Mr. Bromble took the pail, And went to milk the cow, cow. The cow she crooked and reeled, And rumpled with her nose, now ; She kicked old Bromble against the alilna The blood ran down bis toes, tors.

We copy the following interesting gos sip about a large, distinct, and peculiar class of men, from the Troy Times. It says: The recent terrible catastrophe at New Hamburgh has called public attention to this class in a manner which suggests a brief allusion to its various elements. When any one enters this branch of ser vice he will soon find that he is a mem ber of a very interesting community one having its opinions, its rules and its customs peculiar to itself. Even the water-boy may feel his pre-eminence over other youth, and so can the book boy or news-agent, who in good times can make his $10 or even $ 13 per week. Then there is the brakeman, of whom there is one to every pair of coaches, or in other words, half a man to each coach. To him there is no music like the steam whistle at one time the long and distressing shriek blowing for a sta tion, and then the short puff or signal for braking. This brimgs him to his lever, and with a wrench that throws his body into all manner of contortions he fetches the roaring train to a halt. These fellows have all the dignity of a craft They are known as " Jack," or Bill," or " Charley," and when passing at full speed they will greet each other on different trains by a gesture peculiar to themselves, being a gentle motion of the hand like one beating time. The brakemen formerly received only $20 Eer month, but of late years their pay as been raised to $40. This they in crease by running on extra trains, by means of which they often make $10. A good brakeman may hope in time for promotion, and if not here he may go nest, where they often are put into im portant positions. The risks of this em ployment are very considerable, but not withstanding this there is always a rush for every vacancy. The great misfor tune of this class is its temptation to dis sipation. Brakemen could save money if they chose, and indeed I knew one young man in the employ of the Central a few years ago who by strict economy laid the foundation of a handsome prop erty. THE CONDUCTOR. The importance of this officer is not to be expressed by mere words. On the daily twenty trains which traverse the Hudson River and Central, each conduc tor holds a trust of life and death im portance. He is, like the captain of a ship, the supreme commander of his train, and from the time he takes charge of it, either at Buffalo or Syra cuse, or at Troy or New York, his word is law until he brings it to its destina tion. During this time he is required to maintain incessant vigilance, and at every station he can be notified by tele graph of any change or dangers on the line. He is held responsible to a certain degree for all accidents, and must on such occasions vindicate himself or lose his place. To illustrate, I may state that a train was delayed by various de tentions, and before reaching Albany a slight accident occurred. It was said that the conductor had fallen asleep, and on that charge he was dismissed. An other illustration is that of a conductor of a train bound from Syracuse to Al bany, who was desirous of making' a speedy trip to Troy, and consequently left the train at Schenectady in charge of the baggageman and took the . Troy Express. This took place at 4 o!clock in the morning, when it might escape notice, but it was discovered by the su perintendent, and a dismissal followed. Freight conductors are allowed to sleep, because their duties are more tedious, but they are held responsible for many cas ualties. Some time ago an expensive carriage was sent on a platform car to its destination, but a severe gale of wind blew it off, and as this took place at night, it was not noticed until a long time after it occurred. This was also the ground of a dismissal. The conduc tors of passenger trains are the means by which the company comes in contact with the travelling public. On this ac count each one is expected to exhibit good dress And polite manners, and this he must maintain under all circum stances. His position would be a pleas ant one were it not for the frequent at tempts at imposition to which.be is sub jected. One class of impostors are those who beg their passage, or who attempt in any other way to evade payment a class much more abundant than the reader may suppose. A conductor al lows no one to ride free unless he has a pass regularly issued by some authorized officer of the road, the violation of this rule being a just ground for dismissal. It is often very unpleasant to put a man off, but it is inevitable, and that is the conclusion of the matter. However, there is a very great difference in the manners of railway conductors, some of whom are repulsive, wnue otnert are courteous and kind-hearted. One of the most agreeable and gentlemanly of this class is Nicholas Witbeck, of West Troy, who has in this manner won a host of friends among the travelling public, j ! LAWS OP RAILWAY LIFE. i I have referred to these, and may again speak of them as rigid in the extreme, ouch is the grade of subordination from the President, Oeneral Superintendent, Division Superintendent, station agents, etc., that all orders must be obeyed without question. There is but one law for all, and that is obedienoe ; and there is one penalty, discharge. The railroad man is therefore tinder a daily risk of losing his berth, and what in others might be a trifling neglect, becomes in his case unpardonable, since it may cost human life. It is a rule, closely ad hered to, that no man shall commit a blunder a second time, or in other words, the opportunity will not be permitted him. This rule admits of no ameliora tion, and hence, while no man is dis charged without eniiM, yet the oldest man on the road may be removed at any time with eavtf, and without hope of restora tion. This rule, like the sword of Damocles, is always overhanging them. AFFINITIES ASD FRIENDSHIPS. There are very strong ties uniting this class, and they have a peculiar enpirit du crop, which shows itself on all suitable occasions. Whenever business slackens so that a smaller number of men can perform tho daily sorvice, instead of waiting to be discharged they mutually abate their time, and sometimes each man will lay off for a week. A general loss is submitted to rather than to have its whole weight inflicted on one of the fraternity. Whenever one of their num ber dies, a badge of mourning is worn by the whole as a token of respect for at least thirty days. The same spirit is also exhibited by many kind offices shown each other, and this fooling is very much to their credit. RAILROAD r.EXKl IT 80CIETY. The Central and Hudson River con solidated roads have a very useful society of a mutual character, whoso title is given above. The terms of union are two dollars entrance foe, and then an assessment of one dollar on the death of any member, for the benefit his family. When Major Priest's brother, who was freight agent at Little Falls, died, his widow received $5S0 from this society. "Doc." Simmons was also a member, and as the number has increased, his widow will receive about $300. It has been a matter of surprise that Simmons did not jump from his engine. To this it may be replied that a hrst-class loco motive is of such strength as to dash to pieces many powerful obstacles, and in several instances engineers have knocked off and overrode impediments which they did not discover in time to stop. Simmons was a man of great nerve, and thought that perhaps he migh dash through in safety. In addition to this it must be remembered that to leap from an express train under full speed is ex ceedingly dangerous, especially at night. Hence it is a wonder how the fireman es caped. Railway men generally agree that it is unsafe to leap from a train whose speed exceeds fifteen miles per hour, but when danger threatens they must take their chance. In that case the leap should be forward, starting from the lowest step, and should be made so as to strike on the heels. RAILWAY CREWS. A railway train has a fixed crew (as it is called,) the conductor being the cap tain. Add to this an engineer, a fireman, and two brakemen, and the number is complete, unless you have an extraord inarily long train. There are eighty-five crews in the freight business on the Cen tral, and about ninety in the passenger business. Having referred to the rates of pay enjoyed by these men, I would add that each one can increase his earn ings one-third by running " extras," as it is termed. That is to say, the regular stint affords them sufficient overtime for overwork. This is a source of much en couragement to railroad boys, and with out it there would be little inducement to incur the incessant danger which at tends this mode of life. RATES OF 1'AY. Conductors of passenger trains receive $90, while freight conductors are paid $65 per month. Engineers earn $100, and firemen $65. Baggagemen's wages are $60, and brakemen we have referred to. Station agents receive from $00 to $100, and ticket sellers about the same figure, although the latter in some instances add to this the earnings of a telegraph operator. Among the oldest in point of service in the Central are E. S. Foster, of Albany, and Major Priest, Assistant Superintendent of the Eastern Division. The Major has worked his way up from the lowest rank, and has learned almost every duty up to his pres ent station. He may be considered one of the leading men of Little Falls, where he lives, and he has been for several years Superintendent of the Baptist Sabbath-school in that place. Another of the oldest employees on the road is O. T. B. Fonda, station agent at Fonda Depot, a position which he has held since the road opened. Railroad men are a class that live by the rules laid down. They take the time-bill and the printed instructions as their daily chart. The impositions prac ticed on them by rogues oblige them at times to appear rough and stern, but all who show the signs of good-breeding will be treated respectfully. They are trained by their method of life to look duty sternly in the face, and it is no small honor in such a class to have pro duced a man Hke " Doc." Simmons, of the Pacifio Express, the hero of New Hamburg. It was a concentration in one nlan of 'the charge of six hundred," and the act was worthy of a muse equal to that of Tennyson. ' A Sleeping Car Story. .Two members of the West Virginia Legislature lately took the sleeping cars to go to Grafton. The cars were crowd ed, and the two had to sleep together. One was fat ; the other was lean ; the fat man snored, and the lean man therefore lay awake. At about midnight the in somnio legislator could no longer tand the stentorous breathing of his mate, and arose and sat by the fire. An old lady entered, and wanted a place to sleep. ' Go to my berth," said the sar donio lean one, HI left my little boy asleep there. I shall sit up. I must think of legislative things." So the lady went to the berth, disposed of useless clothing, and lay down. Pres ently the " boy" kicked. Then the lady patted him on the back and said, " Lie still, sonny ; pa said I might sleep along with you." " Oh, ho 1" roared the bison a boy no more but a bison. " Thunder 1 who are you? I ain't a boy, I'm a member of the West Virginia Legisla ture.' The lady went into a swoon, nor could she be aroused till the fat man promised her that he would have the lean one impeached. FARM AND IIOUSEliOLD. Successful Bee-Keefixo m a Nut shell. The following paper was read before the American Bee-Keepers' Con vention, by Elisha Gallup : Tha rf-iu 4- aonfint in n nnnoaf i1 Vinn. I keeping consists in knowing how to keep an stocKS strong, so mat at tne oom hiencement of the honey harvest they tnay have brood in all stages, nursing bees, and enough outside laborers. To illustrate this, A and B both have the same resources in their respective locali ties, or we will say that both reside in the same locality, and their honey har vest commences on' the first of June. During the last half of July, and first half of August, there is no forage for bees. June and the first half of Julv are good, and the last half of August and the month of September are good. A commences in spring to stimulate, equalize, etc., and replaces all old queens, or queens that do not come up to the standard of fertility, with young prolific queens and allows but little increase, that is Drovidinir surnlus honev in t.ha object. Here I will remark that with young proline queens, and abundance of room, there is but very little danger of increase. On the first day of June, when the harvest commences, he has every stock completely filled with comb brood in all stages, nursing bees in abundance, less than sixteen days old, and honey gatherers over this age, and they are in the very best possible condition to com mence storing honey immediately. Then during the scarce time, in the latter part of July and first of August, he stimu lates and keeps up the fertility of the queens until the harvest again commen ces in the middle of August. His bees are then ready to commence storing sur plus again as soon as the harvest com mences, loo consequence will Do taut A receives a profit in surplus honey and pronounces the season a good one. In tact meets every one with a smiling countenance, and is well satisfied that bee-keeping pays. On the other hand, B commences with the same number of stocks, in the spring. He lets them manage themselves, and on the first day of June they are not in condition to store surplus, or at least but very few of them, and those few he allows to swarm themselves to death, or what amounts to about the same thing. When the honey harvest comes in, his stocks commence breeding very rapidly, and by the time they get in condition to store honey, the harvest is done, or near ly so, for it takes twenty-one days to hatch out workers, and about sixteen days more, before they commence labor ing outside. Now the scarce time comes on again, and B has got no surplus hon ey, but perhaps has a number of extra swarms. The queens stop breeding, es pecially if the forage is entirely dried up, or cut on. Now when the honey harvest commences in the middle of Au gust, his stocks, instead of being in con dition to commence storing, have to go to raising brood again to replenish tneir workers, for the brood hatched in Juno and July is very soon used up with old age. as the lifetime of a worker bee is only from six to eight weeks during the working season. Now you can readily see that B's stocks are expending all their force and energy to replenish their numbers again, and by the time they are ready to commence storing, the harvest is past, and when he comes to sum up the season's operations, he finds he has received no surplus honey, and nis sur plus stocks, or a large proportion of them, have either to be fed or doubled up, in order to winter them, and the consequence is, his face is somewhat elongated, and his conclusion is that the season has been a poor one for bees. He has certainly had bad luck, and he is ready to attribute it to anything but his own neglect or carelessness. For exam ple, the season has been a poor one tor bees, or his climate is not adapted to bee-keeping, etc., etc. A, with his man agement, in the same locality, mind you, has had " good luck," as it is called. His Btocks are all in excellent condition for wintering, no doubling up or feeding in winter, etc., for he has fed at the proper season, for I hold it to be a fixed- fact that the summer and spring is the prop er time to feed. Keep your bees in the right condition to store honey, and when the harvest comes they will store it. There may be seasons and localities where bees have to be fed in winter. But I have never seen such when they were properly taken care of in the Bum mer. The whole secret of successful bee-keeping is contained in the above nutshell, and should be the very first knowledge sought by the beginner in apiculture. Dwarf Trees. The following de scription of the manner in which the Chinese make dwarf trees is an intima tion of their painstaking in horticulture : "We have known from childhood how the Chinese cramp their women's feet, and so manage to make them ' keepers at home;' but how they contrive to grow miniature pines and oaks in nower-pots tor halt a century has always been much of a secret. It is the product chiefly of skillful, long continued root pruning. They begin at the beginning. Taking a young plant (say a seedling or a cutting of a cedar) when only two or three inches high, they cut off its tap root as soon as it has other rootlets enough to live upon, and replant in a shallow pot or pan. The end of the tap root is generally made to rest upon the bottom of the pan, or on a flat stone within it. Alluvial clay is then put into the pot, much of it in bits the size of beans, and jutt enough in kind and quantity to furnish a scanty nourish ment to the plant. Water tnougu is given to keep it in growth, but not enough is given to excite a vigorous habit. So likewise in the application of light and heat. Then, too, the top and roots, being within easy reach of the gardener, are shortened by his pruning knife, or seared with his hot iron. So, the little tree, finding itself headed on every bide, gives up the idea of strong growth, asking only for life, and just growth enough to live and look well. Accordingly, each new set of leaves be come more and more stunted, the buds and rootlets are diminished in propor tion, and at length a balance is estab lished between every part of the tree, making it a dwarf in all respects. In some kinds of trees this end is reached in three or four years; in others ten or fifteen years are necessary." Disadvantage of Large Farms. One of the rocks on which many fall, is to have too much land. It is much safer to be crowded for roomto have no room to plant anything, as is often remarked than to be spread out to the extent we commonly see. This is true of rented land : but more particularly so of ground which we buy. It is a very common thing for one who Has a thous and dollars to buy land worth two. mortgaging half, and leaving little spare cash to work on. The land is but half cultivated, and the resulting crops but one-half what they out to be, while the labor is double what half the ground would have called for. Here there is a fourfold waste ; and instead of paying but six or seven per cent, for money, it brings up the actual coBt to nearly twenty, under which one soon fulls. l or our part, we are rawer in lavor ot vounff man starting lite with but little cash capital, buying a farm with some mortgage on it, providing be has a de termination to pay that mortgage off as soon as he can turn ronnd. Thousands of men now own property who never would have done so but for the necessity of thus exerting themselves. Their earnings would nave went some how away, xt is uaru w icdidv mmur im portunities when everything is dear; but when there is something which must be met, the disposition to Baye receives strong support from the glaring fact. Forney $ I'm. Kicking Cows have raised and broken many heifers to milk, but have not had a kicker for years. I keep only gentle cows, and always accustoming my young stocic to niucn careiui auu kind handling, they seldom kick when I commence to milk them, and gener ally stop it altogether after a few milk ings. I bought a heifer, however, some years ago, which persisted in kicking tor two or three weeks, kindness paving no effect upon her, and I was obliged to resort to severe treatment, whipping her until she was entirely subdued, and she never kicked after. I once had a cow left for me to milk a few weeks, which was the worst kicker I ever knew, being vicious to the last degree, and the only cow I was ever afraid to milk. Whipping and kind ness were alike of no avail, and strap ping up the foreleg did no good, for she would kick just as well standing on three legs as on four. We were at lat-t told to buckle a circingle tight about the body, just in front of the bag and over the hips and we found we had her, for though she could lump up ana down she could not kick. To put it on we secured her head in the stanchions, and passing the strap round her body, just back ot the torelegs, slipped it back to its place, and then quickly tightened, and she would soon submit to be milked for that time. Cor. of Exchange. Best Way to Sell Hogs. I wish to state to you that in selling my hogs this vear, I thought I would try which was the best way of selling, gross or net. Before weighing gross, the hogs were without teed or water tor twenty. four hours. They were eighty-eight in number, and their average weight was ioi lbs. gross. After butchering they averaged 384 lbs. They were weighed, gross, J muary , and on account of the warm weather were not butchered until the 13th, dur ing which time they only had two feeds. They were sold to Suuiire & Cathman, of Quincy, 111. The difference between gross and net weight was about 15 per cent. I was offered $5 90 grcss, and $7.10 net. Farmers can make their cal culation from this, whether it is any benefit to them. If I had to do it over again, I should sell gross, to get rid of all other trouble, although if my hogs had been butchered immediately the result would have been in favor of tho net weight. They were slaughtered and weighed, and I was well pleased with the way they were handled ; but when it came to weighing net, I was not entirely satisfied. Cor. oj Prairie Farmer. from Hit Texan Xeto Yorker for October, 1870. Dr. Walker'a California Vinegar Bitten An old Scotch physician once said to one of his patients : " Keep your feet warm, your head cool, and your bowels open, and there's little ' ilse ' can harm ye. There is certainly more truth than poetry in the above aphorism. Something over one year ago we in troduced the proprietors of the above named Bitters to the Texas trade, through the columns of that well-known and justly popular journal, the San Antonio Herald, and tne result nas been tnat now there is scarcely a city or town in the State of Texas where this article of medicine is not sold and used. Texas is undoubtedly one of the most lovely and salubrious climates in the world. But we have never yet heard of a place so healthy but that some types of disease exhibited and some forms of Bickness would prevail as the result of over-eating, over-working, or dissipa tion in some of its numerous shapes. We can moreover aver, without the fear of successful contradiction, that af ter one year's experience in the use of Vinegar Bittehs in our own house hold, buying and paying one dollar for each bottle used, we have never found any medicine which so completely reme died nearly all human ills. One of the great levers which this medicine brings to bear upon the system is, it attacks and that vigorously the irregularities of the stomach. It pitches into the liver, end perfectly astonishes that vital organ, which in some people is so lazy. It sets it to work with vigor. A good appetite and digestion iouow. Food assimilates, and the whole man is at once made new. His blood, which is the life of the flesh, rushes through the arteries, imparting a tone to the system which is easier felt than described. This subject may seem of little im portance to some of our readers. But it is not so. Good health is more pre cious than fine gold. Anything which will secure it is above price. He who discovers or invents remedies which en able us to overcome our indiscretions, is a philosopher and a benefactor of his race. Please read the advertisement of It. H. McDonald 61 Co., and see what they have said, beyond what we have said. We believe it will prove a blessing to thousands. LITERARY NOTICES.
