    WIT AND HUMOR.
Anoi'T Nosks. Tlicro Is more meaning in
noso than many people imagine. It may
properly bo termed tlm llishop of the face
on account of the prominent position among
the other features, of which it is tlic perpct
val "nvemcr." That is tho index of tin;
rlmriK'trr, seems probable from its very
shape, and is plausibly urged by Lnvntcr
and otluT physiognomists. Many pojiiilur
phrases indicate the Kiimo doctrine, mid
more thnn hint Hint the nose is the real
repository of the mind. "His now i out
of joint ;" thry hnve '"bridged his nose,'' are
common expressions to signify nn Intellcc
tuid, nnd not ft material operation. To
"count rfoses," to "turn up one's nose," to
"put one's nose in other people's dishes," nro
phrases often henrd. mid mean a good deal
more than their literal import. When wc
say n person is "not to he sneezed at.'' we
tacitly confess that the nose is a fcttturo of
authority n tfur tnonim, or tin aibitir th
rrnntitirum ; a casuist or a connoisseur.
What is the exact significance of each par
ticular stylo of nose in not well set tied among
rhinologists. A modern poet has discussed
the subicct nt some length, and with gi'eut
plausibility. -We copy n few stanzas :
The Ixomtn noso betoken nutiily sense ;
Tho humble ub iM'speuka the nioilcet tnnn,
Hut then 't will never rise to eminence,
Tho least aspiring of the tiHSiil elnn,
IVilh but a niodernle lovp of fame or pelf
(I've gut they ai), a snubbish uose myself.)
Tho Aijitilinc proclaims tho Vccnest wit.
Itut. full of guile h any bnwk or hawker !
The Tiirn'vp noso as ancient Hornce writ
Is everywhere a accruer ami h Mocker i
Some crooked cud it secretly projiose
Don't hang your hat or hones on turn-up nose !
Tho Buttle nose is commonly a feature
One doesn't from lmtvnuii blood iuheril ;
And henev discloses not 90 luuch the nature
Of mind and soul, as of some other "soilit !"
Its meniiiiijx, Iliereliiro. isnfsninll avail.
As in b druuthy time, tho ''sign" must fail.
The Gimlet nose betrays n Intennedler ;
YVhen'er you see a (cnnlet-nose before ye,
It augurs that some new opinion pedler.
Or "urtoeial agent now iuteuds to bore ye.
The very cbnp w ho w hen be prieks your joint.
Villi hideous eniile. cries "don't you see the print ?"
Anciknt Hospitality. It was once a
universal custom to place ale or some strong
liquor in the chamber of an honored gutst,
to assuage his thirst, should lie feel anv on
awakening in the night, which considering
that the hospitality of that period often
repelled excess, was by no means unlikely
it is a current story m levoitdule. that in
the house of tin ancient family of wealth
much addicted to the l'reshvterian cause, a
Ilible was always put into the sleeping apart
ment of the guest, along with a liottle of
tile. On one occasion there was a met ting
of clergymen, in the vicinity of the castle,
nil ot whom were invited to (tmtur bv the
worthy baronet, and several abode there
that night. According to the fashion of the
times, seven of the reverend guests were
allotted to one large barrack room, which
was used on such occasions of extended
hospitality. The butler took care that the
divines were presented, according to custom,
ciieti with a Ilible ...i - uMiie in ale. But
.,r .. mile consultation among themselves,
they are said to have recalled the domestic
just as he was leaving the upnrtment. "My
friend," said one of the venerable guests,
"you must know that when we meet togeth
er, the youngest minister reads aloud a por
tion of tho scriptures to the rest ; only one
Ilible, therefore is necessary ; take away the
other six, and in their place bring tAx
bottles of ale. Sir Wither .l-".
Tirn Taii.oii's Diieam. A tailor, who was
dangerously ill, had a remarkable dream,
lie saw. fluttering in the air, a piece of cloth
of a prodigious length, composed of all the
euM'iHje he had made, of a tnruty of colors.
Tho angel of death held the piece of patch
work in one of hi hands, nnd with the other
pave the tailor several strokes with a niece
of iron. The tailor, awakening in a fl ight,
made a vow, that if he recovered he would
cabbage no more. He soon recovered. As
he was very diilidetit of himself, he ordered
one of his apprentices to put him in mind of
his dream whenever he cut out a new suit
of chillies. The tailor was some time obedi
ent to the intimations given him by his ap
prentice. Hut a nobleman having sent for
Jiiiii to make a coat out of a very rich stuff,
his virtue could not roist the temptation.
Hi apprentice put him in mind of the dream,
but to no purpose : ! nm tired w ith your
taik about the dream," said (ho tailor;
"there was nothing like 'this' in the whole
iiiece of patch-work I saw in my dream ; und
observed likewise that there was a piece
deficient ; that which I am now goiujj to
take will render it complete."
"(1001) Monsiso, .Mr. Iicnpcck, have you

The following dix hipsion of a good
w ife is told by a down-caster: ''She hadn't
no eirfr music, Sunt, but she had a capital
eye for dirt, and with poor folks that is much
better. Xo man ever seed as much dirt in
mtv house as a fly could brush oil with his
wings. 15iton girls may boast of their
spinnet or guitars, and their cvetalian nits
and their utrstor m vxie : but eive me the
gal with an eye for dirt; that's the gnl for
my money.
A t.oon One. Pat was helping Mr. "Slunk
to get a safe in his otKce, one day and not
being acquainted with tho article, imiuircd
what it was tor.
"lo prevent papers and other articles
which are placed in it from being burnt in

"An' sure, will nothing ever burn that is

"No.''
"Well, thin, yer honor, ye'd better be nfler

Mr. Blank "wilted."
A minister, appointed chaplain in an
Ohio regiment, lately wrote the following
note to a brother preacher : "Dear brothir,
if you can get a comniishun as chaplain, it
will pay you lOty a month and a livin
beside. The cuuse of krist kneads you in
his army.
If yon want a pair of boots to last four

A niKTiNorisnKO nivise. on a certain oc
rasiou, while preaching with his usual elo
quence and power, said: "lirethcrn, 1
sometimes illustrate my subject in this man
ner;" ami putting his handkerchief to his
nose, blew a blast loud enough to wake the
seven sl.fpcrs. That was not the intended
illustration, but some of his hearers thought
it was. '.
It is told of a Connecticut field officer,
better acquainted with farming than soldier
ing, that when circumstances placed him in
('ouiiniind of his regiment at llatteras, he
wished to oblique his column in marching,
and gave the order, "Haw around the uiud
puddle." In u pool across a road in the country of
Tlpporary, Ireland, is stuck up a pole, having

The aafust thing in hud tiro as, where people have

It is certainly one of the most extensive fortilo
tracts, in no almost level position, nud suiinble con
dition tor plcnsant farming that wo know of this side
of the w estern prairies. Wo found some ot the oldest
farms apparently just nn profitably productive ns
when fust cleared of forest lifty or a bund rod yenrs
ago.
Tho geologist would soon discover the cprt' of this
continued fortuity. Tho whole com""'' i' a marine
donosil. and all thronih the fc-n we found evidence
of calcareous sulwtaiices. generally in tho form of
indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct
forms of ancient shells, of the tertiajv formation ; nnd
this marly Buhftuncc is scattered nil through (lie soil,
in a very 'comminuted form, nnd in thu exact condi
tion mo't ensily ns-dmilntcd by such pbuiti as the
fanner desires to cultivate.
Marl, in all its forms, haa boon used to fertiliio
crops in Knul.ind, from ibo time 11 won occupied by
the liomans ; and in Vranoe and tlcrinany a mnrl bed
t ominted on ns a valuahlu hod ot iiiamire. mat can
be dug nnd carted nnd spread over the field. How
much more valuablo, then, it must be. when found
already mixed through the soil, where new partielee
will be turned up and exposed, and transformed to
the owner's use every time he stirs the earth.
Having then saiistied our minds nf Iho cbuso. they
will not bo excited with wonder -eing indubitable
evidence of fertility -wl,"'h "1 oilier siluu

intion. A few words nliout the quality nnd value of this
land for cultivation, of which w e haru some strong
I rmd'.
Our first v'nit was to William D. Wilson. Franklin
township, (ilouccslcr county, who purchased Homo
eight miles north of Millville, alsnit three years ago,
for the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to work
up the timber into lumber, to send oft" by thu new
railroad, as well an the firewood nnd coal, 'for which
ho built u branch track a mile ami a half long. Ho
also furnished sixteen miles of the rondwith ties, und
has no doubt made the mill profitable, though his
maiii object was to open a farm, having become 0011
v inccd that the soil was valuable for cultivation, in
this ho has not boon disappointed, as some of his
crops prove. For instance, last year, thesecoiidtimu
of cropping. Soil biishelsof potatoes nnoncaerc. worth
60 cents a bushel iu the field. This year, si venacres.
without manure, produced 3jd bushels of oats. In
ono field, the first crop was potatoes, planted among
tho ruo ts. and yielded 75 bushels. The potatoes were
dug and wheat suiwi, and yielded lit bushels; and
the stubble turned under and sown to buckwheat,
which yielded Xli bushels ; anil then the ground was
sown to clover aud tiiuuthy, which gavu tu a first crop
2i tons per acre.
Tho fertilizers applied to those crops were, first,
ashes from clearings ; second. 22. js.uu.ls of super
phosphate of lime ; third. 2MI ,uuds Peruviau
guano ; then ,Ho bushels of sbtkt d lime has been
spread upon tho clover since it wus mowed, und
turned in for w heut.
Mr. Wilson's growing croju. mi l the wheat stubble
of the present season, till indicate i.is laud us produc
tive ns any part of thu Stuto.
At Mary liurroH s, an old stylo Jersey woman
farmer, several miles south of Mr" Wilson s. we were
so particularly siruck with the fine appciirnucc of a
field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hired
man how it was produced. We found that the bind
had been tho year but one before in wheat, sownwilh
clover, nnd this cut one season, nnd last spring plow ed
once, with one "pour old nag," aud planted with
corn.
"Yes, but you manured high, we suppose ?"' wc
said interrogatively, and got Ibis reply :
"Wnal, you see, we couldn't udune'that ; cause we
hndn't but forty one-hosre loads altogether, for 2.'1
acres, and we wanted tho most ou t for the struck.''
The truck consisted of beets, carrots, cabbage, cu
cumbers, melons, As., and a very productive patch
nf Lima beuns, grown for marketing. So wo wero
satirlicd that Iho soil was not infertile, even unaided
by clover, which had fed thcoorii, because thu "truck
patch" had not been clovered, and hud been in cul
tivation long enough to obliterate, ull signs of thu
forest.
Our next visit was to the farm of Andrew Sharp,
fivu miles north of .Millville, from halfto n mile en't
of the railroad, und just about in the ccutre of Vine-bind-
Mr. Sh.-up commenced work here in licocm
ber, ISO, upon 270 acres. In loss thnu three years,
he hns got 2-!l acres cleared and in crops this suaon,
all well euclo-ed and divided iutoscveral fields, with
cedar rail or polo fence ; hay built a two story dwell
ing, about ot! Vy 10 feel, and a smaller house for farm
laborers, and a stable aud graiiury aud some other
oui-otiiiiiings.
Considerable part of the land was cleared for the
plow ut '.) an nere. and on some of it the first crop
was buckwheat, limed with ill bushels iu powder per
acre. This crop may be put iu July 4th, to20lh.niid
yields 2il to 30 bushels per aero, bnrvest.el iu Novem
ber ; when tho land bciiiK sowed with loll lbs. of
Peruvian guano 111. d seeded with rye. yielded 12 to
15 bushels per aero and $11) worth of straw. The rye
stubble turned, alter knocking offa lariro growth of
oak Sjirouts, ami dressed again wilhguaiiound seeded
to wheat, gave 15 or Id bushels. The crop w hich he
was threshing while we wero there promised more,
of a ver.' plump grain, and the straw is very heavy.
Wo went over tho slublile and fouud tlio clover
and timothy, from seed sowed last spring, on the wheat,
without harrowing, bsiking ae well as we ever saw it
Uun any old cultivated farm, and with a little work
done iu the wiuter to eleur nlf some roots and rotten
siumis. und setting stakes to mark periunueut ones,
be w ill be able to cut the crop the next venr w ith a
mowing machine, and we will guarantee two tons per
acre, 11 no win give uie overplus 11 11 overruns tne
estimate.
I'm I of the land was tdanted w ith wotntoci for a
first crop, which yielded 120 bushels per acre. It
was then limed with jo bmhcls per acre, and seeded
with wheat and clover, yielding an avorago of over
15 bushels per acre, and the clover uuw looks beauti
ful. Other portions have been planted with corn as a
nrst crop, wuicn yielded M) bushels of yellow flint

lu other eases, the corn crop of lust year was fol
lowed, w ith oat this season, not yet threshed, but
will average probably 40 to SO bushels. Sweet pota
toes, bcaus, niulona. and. in fact, all garden vegetable,
aa well as young pouch and other fruit trees plauted
this year, show very ph.lnly that Ibis loug-negloeted
tract of laud should reuiaiu so uo longer, and there is
now a stroug probability that it will not ; for, under
Iho auspices of Mr. Laudia, it will be divided into
mall lots, with roads located to aooommodate all

Cars of Stock In Sprinj?.
Sprinp, w ith its cures nnd duties, i lijum
n. urnu'i'R have nnti li to do nt tins wnann
of the year in the rnrc of their etoek. which
needs more 'urcfnl ottrntion than nt any
other time. They hIiohIiI have a reo;tilnr nnd
plentiful supply of wlmh"itincfood nnd their
titlile kept airy and clenn. When thine
matters arc projierly attended tx, Mttlo will
not prow poor, wnk nnd aiekly, t it is too
often the case In spring time. Young cattle
In our climate tlo not requiro such clom- pen
ning as older stock. A warm yard with dry
bottom nnd sheds sufficient to keep off tho
storm is preferable to close pens Mitre tho
air does not circulate so lively. 1 li - should
have lilierty to lie down nnd rise up through
the night us they please. It is plt'itsunt to
sec w lint nice cure they tnke of thi'iiiHtlves
when thev are nut confined to Mulls nnd
rar.ks. You will find no filth ndlieriiier to
their sides, for they inviiriulily choose the
driest and clcnnewt plnce on which to lie
that can be found. Old cuttle, and particu
larly cows in milk, rcfiuire warmer "lulls
thnu others, nnd, for the convenience of milk
ing, night and morning, it is IxFt to hnvo
their heads fastened to the rack, lint in
this our judgement should be excercised so
as not to confine them too closelv, unless for
the want of sufficient fresh air they contract
diseases and icrih. Verv titdit stable
where, cattle ate tied arc not to lie tolerated,
as many farmers have proved to their sorrow
and loss. A sleeping apartment may le ton
tight for the sleepers, and fevers have proved
fatal for wnnt ol air in a sick cliuiulier. Uut
cattle are made to live without fresh air
