WIT AND HUMOR,
" A Vonkoo Wedding in Now York. j
Chancing to visit (lie office of Alderman
, a few years since, we witnessed nn
hymeneal ceremony tbut will bear narra
ting. Tlic bridegroom was a weather-beaten
countryman, a pert'ert picture of good na
ture, but so tall that in entering tlio portals
of the ofliee an involuntary obeisance was
necessary, while tlie artificial hollyhock on
the summit of the bride's bonnet just touch
ed the elbow of her expected lord, Their
entrance was preceded by an urchin with
dilapidated garments who'claimcd and nicci
ved three coppers as his fee for guiding them
to the spot.
"What can I do for vou, my good friends ?" '
asked the urbane Alderman, asTf in utter
ignorance of the object of their visit. 'Tray
be seated, madam."
''Well, Squire," answered (he groom, with
a complacent, glance ut the filagree breastpin
that Listened a dashing ribbon around the
lady's neck, "old Jlr.i, l'ctlibone down t
Lynch you've hearu tell about her, 1
reckon V
"Well, really, I think I hardly know 1
guess not."
"Not. heard tell of her! why she makes
about the best punkin saas you ever put in
your stummik, I reckon ; slips down jist as
sleek as a greased cat cruwliu' threw a jint
of stove pike."
"Very happy to be introduced to her,
sir ; but don't let me interrupt you. Pray
2roeeud."'
"Jcs' so, jes'so. Well, old Mrs. TMtihonc
gin me Iianthy, here to get spliced to.
She's a wiilder woman, and old Deacon I'ct
tihone made ropes of money in the shoe peg
business when he was alive and I larnt the
business with him; so yc diskiver that
nat'rally I liked the gal, and the old lady
gin consent ; so ef you'll pronounce the cer
emony the money's ready."
"So you wish to be married, eh J" queried
the Alderman, willing to spend a few mo
ment's leisure in conversation. ".May I
venture to ask what induced you to break
through a bachelor's life ?"
'Martin, 'Squire ; sartin. Vou sec it's
r.at'ral. Who ever heard tell of a bachelor
chippin' bird or a bachelor bob-o-link ? I
reckon nobody has. And then ain't ihi'iWn
kinder nat'ral '? Ain't double roses and
double mornin' glories and double pincys
the pootiest, and don't everybody like 'cm
better than single ones. The amount on it
is, naler teaches it. 'Squire, clear through
the programmy, beginning with the robins
and leaving off with the apple blossoms."
"Very true, my good sir; a. very philo
sophical view of the subject. (Turning to
the lady.) And you, madam, have yon given
this subject the attention it merits :"
"Never mind her, 'Squire, jUt let me set
tic that air business; 'taint no kinder use to
trouble your bowels about Dianthy. Just
you fetch out your books and fire away."
The ceremony was soon performed." Our
"Reform" Alderman has carried improve
ment even into that department of his duties
and a two dollar bill was duly placed in
bis palm by thencw lv made husband. After
he had congratulated the pair and wished
them success, Jonathan exclaimed,
"'Squire you're a regular trump, you are ;
anil it you ever come to J-ynn you 11 find a
stoppin' place with rac and n rousin' wel
come. Dut, 'Squire," and Jonathan faceti
ously inserted his fore-linger into the region
of the Alderman's ribs, "I'm done w ith vne
hor.ie bedstead, I nm. C!ood-byc, 'Squire !"
A Lawyer Hoprinianded.
A story is told of a very t'liiiiient lawyer
in New York receiving n, severe rejirinmud
from a witness ou the stand whom lie was
trying to browbeat. It was nn important
issue, and in order to save his rausc from
defeat, it was necessary tlint Mr. A
impeach the w itness. He endeavored to do
it on the ground of age. The following
dialogue ensued :
Lawyer "I low old arc you ?"'
"Witness Seventy-two years."
Lawyer ' Your memory, of course, is not
as lirilliant and vivid as it was twenty years
ago, is it '"'
Witness "I do not know but it is."
Lawyer "State some circumstances which
occurred twenty years ago, and we shall be
able so see how well you can rc-mcmU r."
Witness "1 appeal to your honor if I
am to be interrogated in this manner : it is
insolent."
Judge- "You had better answer the ques
tion." Lawyi r "Yea, sir, state it '."
Witness "Well, sir, if you compel mc to
do it I will. About twelve years ago you
studied in Judge B 's olliec did vou
nut V
Lawyer "Yes."
Witness "Well, sir, I remember jour
father coming into my ollice and saying to
me, .Mr. 1) , my son is to be examined
to-morrow, and I wish you would lend mc
f.i'lecn dollars to buy him a new suit of
clothes. I remember, also sir, that from
that day to this he has never paid me that
sum. That sir, I remember as though it
were yesterday."
Lawyer (considerably ashamed) "That
w ill do sir."
Witness "I presume it will."'
Woman's Foxu C'onckai.imi. A poet
semis us the following back -handed compli

We're sinner's in tobacco-juice we know ;
Hut woman tenderly would hido the slain
For, see the dirt the dnrliiiirs mider-go,
To eweepthe sidewalks with their flowing train !
How I In Liked Thf.m. Dr. Francis was
a wag, and once w hen early peas were on the
table, he emptied the contents of his snuff
box over them. "Francis 1 Francis!" ex
claimed a friend, "what are you about ?" "I
like them that way," was the answer. lie
of course, had the dish to himself; when he
had concluded, he exclaimed : "You thought
it wits smiir, did you Nothing but Hack
popper."
An elderly lady who was handling a pair
of artificial plates in a dental otlico, and ad
miring the fluency with which the dentist
described them, asked him : "Can a body
cat ith these things " "My dear ma'am,
mastication can be performed wilh a facility
scarcely excelled by nature herself," respon
ded the dentist. "Yes I know ; but can u
body cut with 'em ?" replied the woman.
The rewtird of vidians is various : some
of them ure hung, others cropped und brand
fd others elected to oiiice.
The ancient Creeks buried their dead in
jars. Hence the ori-iu of tho txpn s: ion,
"He's gone to pot."
Hy ft .disgusted Keeesh : "Floyd and

they run."
It is too bud. Folks nrc getting to call
tho Confederate armies the Con-ytW-crate

A wag says of a woman :- "To her virtues
we give love to her beauty, our admiration
to her hoops, tho whole pavement.
It is no niisfortuno for u nice young lady
to lose her good name if a nice jouiig gen
tleman given her a better.
It is impossible to look ut the sleepers in

Advantages of Farming near home Vineland
liemaiks uwn Mart i?'oi7, its great Fertility
The Cause of Fertility Amu a at of Crops
Produced Practical hvidence.
It is certainly ono of tho most extensive fertile
tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable con
dition for pleasant farming that we know of this side
of tho western prairies. We found some ot the oldest
farms apparently just as, profitably productive as
when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years
ago.
The geologist would soon discover the cause of this
continued fertility. Tho whole country is a marine
deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences
of calcareous substances, generally in tho form of
indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct
forms of ancient shells, of the tcrtiujv formation ; and
this marly substance is scattered ull through the soil
in a very comminuted form, and iu the exact condi
tion most easily assimilated by such plunts as the
farmer desires to cultivate.
Marl, in nil its forms, has been used to fertilize
crops iu England, from the time it was occupied by
the Romans ; and in France and Uermany a marl bed
is counted on its a valuable bed of manure, that can
be due and called ami spread over the field. How
much more valuable, then, it must be, when found
already mixed through the soil, where new imrticlc
will be turned up und exswed, and transformed to
the owner s use every time lie stirs the earth.
Having then sntUfied our minds of the cause, they
will not oe exeue i witn wonder at seeing inilutiitnbli
evidence of fertility in a soil which iu other situa
tions, having the aninc general characteristics or nt
least appearances, is entirely uiiremuuerative, except

A few words about the quality nnd value of this
land for cultivation, of which we have some strong
pronr.
Our firsl visit was to William D. Wilson, Franklin
township, tlloucester county, who purchased some
eight miles norm oi iiiiuviiic, about three year. airo.
fur the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to work
up the timber into lumber, to send off by the new
ruilronii, as wen us i lie nrewoou und com, tor wui
ho built a branch track a mile nnd a half long. Ho
also furnished sixteen miles of tlio road wilh ties, and
has no doubt made the mill profitable, though his
main orjicoi was lo open a larm, Having bocnuio con
viuced that tho soil was valuable for cultivation. In
this ho has not been disappointed, us some of his
criq prove. For instance, last year, thesecond timo
of cropping, Soli bushelsof potatoes on one acre, worth
00 cents u bushel in the held. 1 Ins vcar. seven acres.
without manure, produced .SoO bushels of outs. In
one field, the first crop was potatoes, planted among
tho roots, uud yielded i'j bushels. The potatoes were
dug ami w heat sown, and yielded I'J bushels ; and
the stubble turned under und sown to buckwheat.
which yielded K bushels ; and then the ground was
sow n to clover and timothy, which gave no u first crop
ions per uere.
Tho fertilizers npplied to theso crops were, first
afhes from clearings ; second, 225 pounds, of super
phosphate of lime ; third, 200 pound. Peruvian
guiuio ; then ;0 bushels of slukcd lime bus been
spread upou the clover since it was mowed, and
turned in tor wheat.
Mr. Wilson's growing crops, and the w heat stubble
of tho present season, ull indicutc his lund us produc
tive us any pert ot the State.
At Mary llarrow s, nn old style Jersey woman
tanner, several miles south ot .Mr. Hson s. we were
so purticularly strie'k with the tine appearance of
field of corn, that wo stopped to inquire of tho hire
man how it was produced. We fouuil (hut the lund
had been the year but one before in wheat, sown with
clover, and this cut one seiwon, uud last spring plow ed
once, w ith one -poor old nag," uud planted w ith
corn.
"ies, nm you manureu Ingn, we suppose : ' we
sunt interrogatively, und got this reply :
vt uui, you sec, we couuln t a done that ; causewe
hadn't but forty one-hosro louds altogether, for 23
acres, und wo wanted the most on t for the struck.'
The truck consisted id' beets, curruts, cabbage, cu
cumbers, melons, Ac, und u very productive patch
of Limn beans, grown for marketing. So wo were
satisfied that the soil was not infertile, even unaided
by clover, which had fedthecorn, because the "truck
on tell" bad nut been clovered, und had been in cul
tivation long enough to obliterate ull signs ef the
loresi.
Our next visit was to tho farm of Andrew Sharp,
five miles north of Millville, from half to a mile east
of tho railroad, and just about in the centre of Vine-
land. Jlr. Miujii commenced work hero in Decern
her, 1S5.H, iivm 270 acres. In less than three years,
he ha. got 2'(4 acres cleared Hud in crops this season,

cedur rail or polo fence ; has built u twe .tory dwell

We went over tho stubble and found tlie clover

with wheat and clover, yioldiug an average of over

Other portions have been planted with corn as a

AGRICULTURAL.
Facta koh Toon FAnMnnn. -"Tlioso frit
mere who have moat difficulty to make ends
meet, always plow most and keep most stock.
Now, these men take tlie true plan to keep
themselves always poor and bring little."
So writes John Johnston to the Secretary of
the New-York State Roclety, and he thus
illustrates his statement : "It is good profit
to raise 800 bushels of wheat from ten acres ;
but when It takes thirty acres to raise that
amount, it is raised at a loss. Bo it is with
rattle and sheep. You will see the thinking
farmer making four-year-old steers worth
from $00 to $80 each, and his neighbor's at,
the same "nge, not worth over f'-J.to $10."'
His advice to the latter is, "if this land is
exhausted, he should plow no more than he
can thoroughly manure. Seed with clover
and grass, let it rest, and that field will not
only pny for tillage, but it will furnish ma
nure (if rightly managed.) to make another
field of the same size rich also. And then
keep it rich ; do not run it wilh grain nitil
again exhausted, or the latter end of that
lund will be worse than the first.
The Corn Guru. The corn crop has several
formidable enemies to contend with, and
among them is the grub, which sometimes
literally destroys whole fit-Ids, or damages
the crop seriously. One of the best and mot
convenient remedies perhaps the very best
ever suggested is the application of w!t ns
soon as the plant makes it apearance above
ground, prepared and used in this way :
Take one pun common salt and three part
plaster of gypsum, and apply about a table
spoonful around each hill. It will be found
to be a surejn-otection. Themixture should
not come in contact with the young jilnnts,
as it may destroy them. This method has
been tried over and over trgaiu by some of
the best farmers, of l'cnnsvlvania. iH-lawure
and Jersey, and when properly applied, has
never failed to be perfectly stieeessful. We
hope our farmers, who have reason to fear
the depredation of the grub, the present sea
son, will try this mixture, leaving a few al
ternate row s of corn without the salt, ami
communicate to us the result.-- d rmitntoirn

GitAPK C'l niNOH. It is a very simple
operation to plant grape-cuttings. Those
who have not much time to spare, should
use cuttings with two hints, leaving an half
inch of wood at each end. Throw out the
dirt to the full depth of thecutling; plant
so that the upper end of the cutting is visi
ble ; till the dirt in with a garden trowel or
small hand-fork, and prexlown firmly wilh
the foot. The ground should be kept moder
ately moist, mid in hot w cnther well mulched
with grass. Most varicticsof grape are easi
ly grown in this way.
Pfttiso oct UiiEs. Much care should be
used in putting bees out in spring. For that
purpose select a day that is still and cloud
less, when the snow is hurd ; if the snow is
soft the bees will become buiied in it aud
perish. When the sun shines warm mid
there is no w ind, a large portion of the bet a
that fall will rise and return to the hive.
Open the hive so that the bees can leave
without hindrance. While they are flying,
clean out all the dead bees und chips. If
there is nothing the bees can gather,
they should be returned to their winter
quarters.

Tbf. Applk-Tkke Hoiif.u. The editor of
the Gttrdaitr' Monthly recently visited a
friend who is famous for the abundance of
his apple crop, and who informed him that
hia entire snreess depended upon lerjdoy out
the Rortr. This he accomplishes by merely
keeping the soil scraped away from the trunk
down to the bear roots all tlie year round,
summer aud winter. Surely this is plain and
simple, enough for any body to understand,
aud we trust who wih to raise a crop of
apples will try it. (fa-iiuthtoten TiU'jrojdi.
