Nothing helps a farmer so mueh as to have a full relief from being "driv en'" at this reason of the year.

A'! this the man who lets Wis work drive him instead of leading it along Las to lose; and no one can calculate the gnat Joss every year from all these Utile things added togothcr. We do not know that we could sug gest a. better subject for a farm win ter stuily than how to avoid being "driven" with work or 'pinched' for money. Whenever one gets to this rendition here is assuredly something wrong which needs righting; and which must be righted before much money can be made. The lazy man never mals money; but the one who "never has any time " or wli j is "all behind with his work," is in about as bad a fix, if not worse, for very often he is uo better off than the lazy fellow, with the sad reflection included that his labor has bee n spent in vain. If there is anything iu which the beauty and the wisdom of knowing when "to leave off is manifested, it is in behavior; and Low rare is beauti ful behavior, greatly by reason of the want of due proportion in the char acters and objects of most persons, and from their want of some percep tion of the whole of things! Let any man run over in Lis mind the circle of Lis friends acd acquaintan ces, and of those he Las become ac quainted with in history and biogra phy; and lie will own how few are or have been persons of beautiful be havior, or real greatness of mind. Observe the calmness of great men, noting by tie way that real great ness belongs to no station and no set of circumstances. This calmness is the cause of their beautiful behavior. Vanity, injustice, intemperance, are all smallnesses arising from a blind ness to proportion in the vain, the unjust, the intemperate. Whereas no one thing, unless it be the love of God, has such a continuous hold on a crreat mind as to seem ail in all to it. Arthur Jleljis. Wasting lira. A KoodThlRCta Know. If it e.iuld become a fashion for girls, upon leaving school, to take regular lessons in cookery, and to know how the plainer food of every day life should be prepared, and also Low a quarter of a sheep should be cut up and divided, so as to make tidy joints, without waste of any kind, they would have gone several steps towards providing a comforta ble household, eiiher for their parents T themselves.

We have something still to ell of the intrenuitv of rats. A fam ily in a country house in Hertford shire had a fancy for rearing ducks, but could not well do so on account of rats, which systematically got hold of and carried away the young ducklings, even from close to their mother. With a view to circumvent the rats, the maternal duck and her young were housed for the night un der a coop, which admitted of no opening lor the furtive intruders. I he rats were not to be so easily cheated out of their prey. On discov ering that the mother duck and her family were closely shrouded from ! intrusion, they devised a pretty plan j of engineering, which was eminently successful. In the course of a sin gle night they excavated a tunnel going below the outer edge of the coop to its interior, and thus very neatly, without producing an)' alarm, stole every duckling under the guardianship of the mother. Two rats of the same colony preferred a feat quite as ingenious. A trap, which was bated for their capture was habitually plundered without securing a single rat They had ev idently invented some plan for safely ftealing away the bate, and what the plan was, could only be learned by setting a watch on the trap. We shall explain how the theft was ef fected. The trap was of the kind which is some times employed for catching mice. Itl was a box with a sliding door, which was sus tained by mechanism connected with the bate. On the bate being nibbled at, the door descends and makes the mouse a prisoner. The two rats saw through the device, and resorted to the following very simple but ef fectual mothed to take away the bait, which was a piece of toasted cheese, and vet escape imprisonment. One of them placed itself under the door, so that it might fall on its back, while the other crept in and success fully carried off the morsel of cheese. The first rat then drew itself from un der the door, and joined its compan ion. This demonstration of rat intel ligence, like the preceeding'fncident, is of recent occurrence. . i A -ot1 Wedding Tear. handed her out, - i i couiuianueu imn inJ tb robber at I !

The express agents state that nothing in the box had been disturbed, and that the robber realized no money by bis daring exploit."

Chinese husbands can procure di vorces from their wives by simply proving that they talk too much What if such an excuse held good in America i otnen, in lact, are thought little of in China. If you ask a Chinese woman howjmany children sue nas, sne will rive only the num- ! bcr of bovs. She has to be a-ked the second time how many girls she has, as they are thought so little of that in many cases they are killed as soon as born. One of these women told an European friend that her first child was a little girl, and described how she loued the little one. "My husband went out," she said, "and brought in a tub of water. I begged him to spare its life, but he took the little one and put its head in the water, and held it there till it was dead. My second babe was a daughter, and it was served the same as the first ; the third child was a boy; he lived until he was about four years old, when the gods got angry and killed him. 1 hen my husband died; and if I cat anything that is nice, and if I wear good clothes, my relatives become angry and treat me harshly." Even in onr christian churches in China the wo men arc not allowed in the same room with the men, but are parti tioned off in a lattice-work room. One of the street characters of Loudon is dead. Visitors to the English capital may not have forgot ten the numerous evidences of ai tis- tic skill in chalk which met the eve on a more than usual clear bit of pavement opposite the Duke of Dev onshire's house in Piccadilly.

Mr. Newbury, of Davenport, Iowa, like Burns of Gottysburg,is a practic al man, under which guise he won the heart of Miss Zamic Serverance, a brilliant lady and deservidly popu lar school teacher, and about five weeks ago they were made man and wife. It had been the custom of Mr. Newbury to take an annual barge trip to New Orleans, and he conceiv ed the novel and romantic idcaof mak ing a wedding tour in the same way. The subject was broached to his friends, and also to the friends of the bride, and as it met with much favor on all sides he decided to carry the plan out. A barge was aeeordinyly Gtted up in sumptuous style and everything made in shipshape order for the newly married couple. In addition to the luxuries of life a car go of onions aud potatoes were stow- vd away in the hold, to be disposed of on arrival at New Orleans. In this manner was profit combined with pleasure a"nd com mon sense with romance. In addition to Mr. and Mrs. New bury, the craft carried fourteen pas sengers, three of whom were ladies. Mr. II all, an experienced Mississippi navigator, piloted the barge and commanded a crew of four men, all told. The balance of the party was composed of ambitious followers of Nimrod, who had pledged themselves to keep the cuisine well supplied with wild game. Immediately after the ceremony had been pcrlormcd the bridal party aud their retainers were escorted to the barge, which was pushed into the stream, and slowly lloatcd past the citj' on its way to the (Julf. The only steam on board was J that which issued from the mouth of the teakettle, and hence dreams of boiler explosions did not haunt the slumbers of the voyageur. Alter a highly enjoyable trip of four weeks' duration, the barge, with its novel cargo of onions and bride reached St. Louis on Saturday night As the journey was only continued by day light the length of time cousumed was longer than anticipated, but it passed ouly too quickly for the happy passengers. W hen game was sight ed a landing was effected, and the hunters of the party were given a chance to amuse themselves. The animated Floaters spent three or four days in the city, calling on their friends and visiting places of amusement. On Wednesday thev continued their voyage, and expect to reach New Orleans in about two months. They propose to remain there a week, and also a week in Memphis. The vessel's log will be an interesting document to peruse when the trip ia completed, and Mr. and Mrs. Newbury will doubtless car ry it back to Davenport with them on their return next spring. Taking all circumstances into con sideration, this wedding tour can be safely classed as the roost practically romantic one on record. Prospectns for 1871. Seventh Year.
