When it is said tbat Le wears a Hue
necktie, ia elaborate r-tyie, aad re
joices in a mustache whose careful
cultivation has awakened his most
prayerful solicitude the list of his
faci'natior.s are complete. The young
lady is all your imagination can paint
her; lovely, bewitching tmd divine.
Such a befnjr, indeed, as the inter
esting Adonis we Lave described
could alone make Lis dulcina. But
it appears that her father did not
possess the Fame confidence in her
lover as did the fair Amanda. Learn
ing of the engagement he locked her
tip, and forbade the youth the bouse.
Lest ehe should evade Lis vigilance
her 8pparel was removed and the
gentle Amanda was left in the rcca
gcrest dishabille to brood in maiden
meditation over the trite but opposite
conclusica "that the course cf true
love sever did run smooth." But
it is equally opposite and true that
love laughs at locks and bolts.' The
lover found out Lis mistress and con
cocted an elopement.
About nine o'clock last night two
visitors at the residence of a well
known sinister on Tine streets claim
ed instant audience cf the divine. In
the dim light of the parlor tho good
man, only discovered the figures of a
boy and "a man, and inquired bow Le
could serve them.
'We want to get married, sir,' re
plied the oldest stranger.
'Indeed; one of you appears rather

'What ladies?'

'Bless my soul ! You don't tell roe'
and adjusted Lis spectacles with an
energy that showed how deeply the
incident had disturbed his clerical
equanimity.
And the youth thereupon related
to Lira the romance of their love the
cruel parent, the disguise and flight,
and again importuned Lini to marry
them at once. Delay might be fatal.
Even now the cruel father might

them.
'But are you sure it's a girl !' again
demanded the causious minister.
'Sir, I'm sure of it.'
'Because the marriage wouldn't be
legal if she wasn't.'
'I'll chance it anyway,' cried the
youth, impatient and uneasy at a de
lay that might co?t him dearly.
So the ceremony was said, and the
couple strode awar, satisfied and con-
touted with the pleasing visions of
the future that hog so rosily around
them.

Ia China, where locusts arc wont
to ravage the country, the local au
thorities, whether civil or military,
arc held responsible lor the stamping
out c' these insects as soon as their
appearance has been reported. They
are required to summon a large body
of men, and at ence surround and
destroy the locusts, the expenses of
the maintenance of the men and com-1
pensation for the crops troden down
duriug the chase being supplied by
the Provincial Treasury. Should
the local authorities succeed in stamp
ing out the locusts within a limited
time, their services are favorably
reported to the Emperor ; but should
they fail, and the locusts spread and
do damage, they are liable to be de
prived of ti e ir posts, trrested and
hai.ded over to the proper board for
puL'ishment. A certain sum per
bushel is paid to peasants bringing in
unwinged locusts, and half that sum
when the 1 custs are able to fly,
while compensation is given for crops
tn dden down in the chase. The lo
custs are swept with besoms into
trenches dug at the sides of the corn
fields, in which a vigorous fire is4cept
up. The best time to capture locusts
is when thev are feeding at dawn of
d.n", when their bodies being heavv
with dew and their wings are wtt,
th" are unable to jump or fly.
Kolon for Handling- Can.
Never handle a gun unless vou

Always handle your gun as if it

ought always to follow.
Now half-cock your gun, draw the
hammer back nearly to full cock and
let it fail. It will stop at the half
cock notch, and no blow is given. So
always carry your pun at half-cock.
If you cock it expecting to get & tbot

cock back to half-cock.
If you know of no other way of as

inclined to draw the csp, retire to a

The numerous Shows, now soon to
bo held in all parts of the country,
give farmers an opportunity of com
paring the different breeds of hogs.
In most neighborhoods, the introduc
ion of one or more thoroughbr is
would add materiallv to the value of
the hog product in that locality.
Just what breed would be most pro
fitable must, be decided by the breed
ers of each locality; but in order to
assist any of our readers who may
be in some doubt, we condense the
following advice from the American
Iiural Home.
"It does not pay to breed or to feed
poor hogs. The hug is a voracious
animal, and unless Lis voracity can
be turned to profitable account it is
better to Lave nothing to do with
him. The great majority of farmers
who breed pigs do so without definite
aim towards producing a profitable
animal. Most of them have got a
nondescript sort of stock of no par
ticular breed, and remarkable only
for combining a.s many of the bad
qualities and as few of the good
points as it is possible a hog can have.
Having come to them as it were as a!
legacy, they look upon it as being a
bounden duty to perpetuate the race, i
Yet as bad as these hog3 are they
have two redeeming points. Ia the
first place they are hardy, and Lave
good constitutions; and in the second
place they are capable of being rapid
ly improved at small cost, by cross
ing them with the modern improved
breeds cf pure-blooded sorts. Use
what breed you will to begin the im
provement, if it is only persevered in
by those who understand the business,
it must result profitably. A good
thoroughbred boar costs money. We
will say twenty-five to fifty dollars
for a really first class young one,
three to six months old. But one
is enough for a whole neigborhood,
and if several will club together to
purchase and keep one among thera,
or agree to pay a moderate sum for
each sow they may get served, the
cost will be small to each."
"As to what breed is best to origin
ate the improvement from, much will
depend upon circumstances. If medium-sized
Logs, ready to fatten at
eight or twelve months old, are de
sired, use the Suffolk and Essex.
Those who have the so-called Chester
Whites, or pcrfcr white pizs, can
greatly improve them by crossing
with the Suffolk. Those who do not
object to black or spotted pigs will
find most profit in crossing with the
Lsscx. Ibe renuiae fcuColk, ia its
puritv, is however scarce and
care must be taken to secure a boar
only from a known and reliable
breeder. The same isny be said of
the Essex; but it is so marked a
breed, from being uniqe in its color,
a r;ch black, inclining sometimes to
bluish, without a white hair about it,
that it is difficult to substitute any
other kind in its place."
For those who want large hogs,
iv.ng from three to six hundred
rounds when fattened, and are wil
regards uair anu markings, taat tncre

there is no question of the blood. We
have bred and fed then) for years,
and could not tell that those with
white spots on their bodies were any
war inferior as regards, feeding jiro-
! perties to those having the new ts-
tablished
rctrulation marks about
them, and what is more, we have
rarely seen a sow of that breed, how
ever well marked, bring a litter that
would show the fame markings.
These fancy markings will doubtless
in time be so impressed upon the
breed ns to become typ:cal, but at
present those animals without them
can be purchased at low prices from
Crst-class breeders, and will answer
the purpose of improving the common
stock equally as well.
"One great source of loss to farm
ers on their heer production is that
thev keep the animels they breed too
long, and feed them too little ix
they were better fed they would come
to maturity earlier, and produce bet
ter park at a les3 cost. An animal
kept ia full flesh from its earliest day
isreadv to fatten, and docs so quickly
at small cost, and at an early age
and will have a fair proportion of
well mixed fat and lean. An animal
put np to fatten from a starvation
point will take a long time to get fat
and when it does so, most of the fat
will belaid on snperficially, much of
it in thc hog going into lard rather
than pork."

The Farmers Lnxnrles.
A correspondent of the Counlry
Genlkmj.il writing from Elmira, New
York, draws the following pleasant
picture of farm life.
"One great reason why complaint
is so often made that, 'farming don't
pav,' is that we do not credit the con-
VCllltULt.3 aUU IU.ULtti3 LU " ---
affords us, at their full value. I can
see no more reason why luxuries are
worthless to the weary, Lard working
farmer, than thev ere to tho city
gentleman. 1 say tuiunc., uaiu
he proper worJ. lure -tweei imi
and butter, fresh and perfectly ripened
fruit, ' horses and carriages, roomy,
door-yards, the lovely society of birds,
pure air and the quiet and retirement
of country life, are looked upon as
luxuries by every class of people ex
pfnt farmers, who accent them as a
matter of course, and forget to fcelj
tV-or-l-fnl f.ir tli.m I think one rca -
son why discontent is so common
among larraers, is that we allow dis
tance to lend enchantment to our
view. We forget that thousands of
our city neighbors are envying us
the peculiar blestings which we enjoy,
while we in tarn envy them because
their ledgers show better balances
than our own. The food, shelter,
and conveniences which make life
tolerable have precise value of their
own; ana tu;s value 1 tae same
when enjoyed by a farmer, ns by a
manufacturer or merchant. We are
looking at matters from a wrong
standpoint, if we fail to acknowledge
these facts.
It is evident that persuits that
yield only money, must give larger
cash returns than those which produce
much that contributes directly to our
sustenance. The farm, therefore,
should not be expected to yield thc
same percentage that thc merchant's
business does. I believe, that as a
rule, the farmer knows far less of the
anxieties that attend getting n living,
then most business men of equ;d
property. His capital, ca'j neither
burn tip, nor be stolen from him; and
though Lis income is dependent upon
wind and weather, statistics prove
that there are much less disastrous
than the contingencies of comirerce
and finance.
There is a class of farmers whonre
living only to grasp more acres.
Their farms can never be large
cnou;rh, nor can their workmen nor
themselves ever do quite enough
work. They cannot be saiibfied with
the income of a farm, nor could they
be with that of any other business.
But tffose, who understand tbat the
highest ol ject of labor is not simply 1
to make money, but to provide the
largest amount of the means A im
provement and innocent enjoyment
that tbe world affords, can make the
pursuit of agriculture furnih more
luxuries that really contribute to ouri
wel:-being,than any ttaer cmploymeLt
requiring an equal amount of capital.
Their farms are not so largo so as to
make slaves of themselves and sons,
and their wives od daughters arc
not worn out with incessant drudge
ry. Their door-yards bloosora with
flowers, their tables are supplied with
many varieties of welbgry wn and
delicious fruit, their houses are made
cheerful by the infiuenceof books and
music, and a taste for the pure and
innocent enjoyment cf life is develop
ed iu their children. Here and there
a farmer exemplifies all the content
ment and happiness possible to a race
doomed to labor and disappointment,
though 'few end far between,' they
prove that V"ashisgtn was correct
who he said:"'
"Agriculture is the most useful, the
most healthful, and the most noble
employment cf man."
