Once upon a time, having a bit ot mouey ieft me by my uncle, I found mvf-tlf better off than I had ever been Itf'fore, and a thought came to me to ids Le wjfcflf better off still. "Feggy," says I. to my wile, "what do you tbiuk of buying a cuacb aod a nair of horses, and setting up on my own account? There's a lot of mon- y to be made by a smart roan, w ith people goiag borne Iroin balls and theatres, and rainy Sundays at fash ionable churches," when the ladies come without umbrellas. f you say so, I'eggy, I'll spend my windfall on coach and horses." Says Tcggy : Jo, Simon ; it's a graai idea." So I did. I w ent out tbe neat day and began to look for m hat I wanted. I'd been examining a fine pair of hor), aod waa Dearly ready to make a bargain, u Lea a tail gentleman, with the bol lowest checks and most miserable countenance I crer saw touched me co the arm. i 'My man," said he, "are you look-' iog for a coach aod horses t" Yes, sir, 1 am," I said. j "I can show vou what you want, i if vou'll come with me." be said. 1 looked at hiiu a momnt. Hi (ace was such a face as I'd never seen before. I couldn't help it. But be w as sulendidlr dressed, and bad a diamond on his finger ; a rich man, I frbould bare judged. "I'm looking for a coach and horses, orh as a poor man ran afford to drive for a living " said I. It's fur mfdt, sir." "les, yes," said be, waikiug oo in a Lurry, ' yes, yes; but you don't ob ject to a handsome carriage ana Dors es that are something to be proud .f." "I might object to tbe price, sir," I said. "Look here, mv uaa,waai4 he, not looking at me, but away at nothicg as it seemed, "now aad then a man of eieaua a wan considered rich by bis friends wants ready mooey. In that case he'd rather have it at once iban wait lor more. Haggling with dealers don't suit me. l i rather make a private, quiet tort of sale and if you don't make a talk about it, why, you shall have the horses at your own price the carriage, too. You know I don't want my sellitg them talked over." "I see sir," said I. ( And 1 thought i did. "AH ia oot gold that glitters," said I to myself. "Here's a swell in diffi culties." And by teat time we were at the door oC a handsome house, and be opened it with a latch key, aod took me through a ball to bis garden out of which opened a stable aod carriage Louse. Well, be Lad a pair of the best steppers I evar saw, and tbe carriage, that was a beauty, I can tell you. "There's a stain on one of the cush ions," said he. "We broke a botlie of port wine there tbe other day. You wont mind that much, I dare say ; aad bow name your price and take your bargain." It was a bargain for I named much less than they were worth ; and I paid my mooey, aad be gave me a re ceipt and I drove awsy as proud as a peacock. That night I went to a rail ray to wait for passengers, ami picked p a young clergyman with a lot of bag gage, who wanted to go to II He got in, and I drove away, and oolbiog happened on th road ; but Leo be allighted at tbe place be was goiag to, be said, very gravely : "I made no objection, on account of i;s being a lady, coachman, but persons do not osually expect other passengers if they pay full price." "Other passengers, sir f " said I, "I do not understand you." "The young woman," said be, "who is asleep in the coach." "tube's got in unbeknown to me," tya L. "IH see aboot it." "No disturbance oo my accouut," eaid he. And the Louse door opened, and Lis friends eame cut. "I beg you'll not consider that I objected," he said. And the Louse d or closed. It was quite dark, and I could not e any one ia tbe carriage when 1 pot my bead in. Tbeo I struck a watch. There was no one inside. "Is ibis bis joke," said I to myself, "or is Le a lunatic ?" Tbeo I banged the door to, mount ed aod drove off. AU next day I drove mj coach aod made a good tbiog by it, aod at night I weut to tbe station again. This time I took up two ladies iiL br;i aod bundles, who were in a hur ry. ' So I drove fast. We'd rose a good way, when I felt a signal to stop, and 1 pulled op. "We'll, ma'am ?" eaid I, looking into tbe coacb. t "Ob !" said ooe of the ladies to a faint voice, "Ob, I'm so glad you've heard at last. We've been pulliog and calling ever so long. We're frightened to death. What is tbe matter with this lady ?" "What lady f" said I. "Why, this one," eaid ahe. "Ho do we know but its something catch ing sbe's so ill." "If she's ill yon'd better get ber Lome to Ler friends," said I. "She looked well enough when yon got In." ; "Maybe it's a faint," she eaid.

The next day all waa right, and at nigbt I took some people to a ball a carriage full of them, and back the Fame wav. Tbe next night a gentle man and lady engaged the carriage, and when we bad gone some distance, the gentleman stopped me. "Driver," said he, getting out, "I want to speak to you. Why did you admit a lady to our carriage?" "Sir," said I, "I had no right with out vour permission, and I did not." "We found one there," said be; "sud naturally my wife don't like it. We've spoken to Ler and she doesn't answer, perhaps she's ijl." ' Meanwhile tbe lady alighted. I looked in. "There's no one there," said I; "no one at all." "I see there is not," paid the gea tlenaan, "but" "Oh, Jaices, don't g-t in again." eaid the lady. . "We're oa'y a littla way to walk ww." And they paid their fire and walk ed away. "This is getting queer," said I to myself. And again I did aot ttll I'eggy, though I wished to. liut what should happen next ev ening, but, that, coming home, 1 saw my own wife walking on the pave ment. She'd been out to spnad the evening at her mother's. "Take me home, Simon," says i-Le. "Jump in," says I, and away we drove when suddenly I'eggy called to me; "Simon, fcimoo ,'' "Well V says I. "Let me out, Simoa,' savs she. "Why ?" says I. "I'll tell you," says Bhe. Then I lighted down and opeued the door for her. "I ain't goine to ride with such characters as that," says she. Be side?, fcer looks scare me; sbe's white as a corpse." "Characters?' said I. ''Why didn't rot; tell s;e tad a passenger?" said the. "Cause I hadn't," said I. "There's a woman there," said she, "such a strange-looking woman. No good iu her, I'm sure. And when I said- 'incuse me ma'am, I didn't know there was a passenger in my husband's coach when I asked Lim to .i I i , ! . r- thing." "I tell you there ain't anybody ther," said I.

Cotopaxi, which has not been in eruption siuce 1851, was so violeutly exercised on tbe 2 Mb of June last thatccording to a letter received from Quito, Ecuador, for several days the air in the city was obscured by constant showers of ashes and stones. Tbe people had to use lanterns in waikiug about tbe street ; aod the low er classes, who interpreted tbe calam ity as a visitation of divine anger against tbe government, proceeded to rise up ia arms, aad to besiege the public building. The troops were called out, and tbe insorrection was partly suppressed. The government bad offended the priests, and the priee-ts had inflamed the passions of the fanatical masses, who assembled in the streets with flags and pictures of the Yirgin, with concealed weap ons, and with cries cf "Viva la Relig ion."

Af ter turning a furrow as deep as the crop to be planted or sown requires, then another team follows with a subsoil plow, and loosens tbe lower soil six to eight inehea deep, and thus leaves it ; and tho two teams contin ue to plow till the Geld is finished. What advantage is subsojling? is the question I bear askjd. Twenty five years ago the agricultural thfO rists contended that farmers would have to subsoil for every cr . p, or soon be behind the times, but now we hear but liule on the subject. Tbe fact is, it does not pay to subsoil land, and that settles tbc question, as f jw farmers can afford to employ two teams od tho same land, and plow in a dar onlv as much as one team can do. There 13, however, some advaa -tae in some seasons by bqd?o ling, , ,. . . . . . -rnnj, will with stand a revere drouth better on sab- soiled land, than on that which is not subsoiled. Tuis is about all that can be said in favor of the system, and tbe r econd yea' the land is about as hard and compact below as it was before tbe subsoil plow was used. Io brief, I do not advise any farmer to subsoil bis land in any cise. Here is what a man said who tried it: There is this about subsoiling, which I think is not usually understood, that, like surface plowing, it should be done for every crop. Tbe loosen ing of tbe ground below, where it bad laid unstirred perhaps for ages, it may be thought, will benefit it for years" Such is not my experience and observation. Made mellow, it will settle and pack, except under certain e nditions, and becomes aa hard, if not harder, in a year or two, as before. Oae of tbe exceptions is wbore manure is mixed with it, par ticularly uegetable or barn yard ma nure, the roots cf clover, or golher plants, that penetrate and fill tbe soil well, will meet this requirement; grass and grain ouly to a slight ex teat. I claim that in all cases sur face plowing cao be so done, deep or shallow, as the crop may require, and tbe land admit to advantage, to produce all the crop that tho laad.is susceptible of growing; yet if one can afford the expense, it would be well to try suboifipj a little as an experi ment, bubioil plovs VP made for subsoiling only; they turn no furrows.

The British consul at Nicolaieff, Russia, is said to have discovered that petroleum is the greatest of all hair invigorators. In a report to his government he says that a servant formerly in Lis employ was prema turely bald. The scrvant.wasengag- eJ to trim 1 .pais, and had a habit of wiping bis petroleum besmeared bands in his scanty locks. Three months of this lamp trimming and dirty habit procured for him a much Gner bead of black, glossy nair than he possessed before bis baldness. The consul tried the remedy on two Spaniards who had become suddeuly bald, and met with tbe sanje wonder ful succcs.'. lie then suggested his petroleum cure to the owners of some biaik cattle which bad become bald, and to tbe possessors of horses which had lost their maoes and tails. Tbe remedy not only prevented the spread of the disease from which the ani mal suffered, but also effected a quick and radical cure. The petroleum he says, should be of the most refiaed American quality. It is to be rub bed jo vigorously and quickly, with the palm of tbe Land, cod applied at intervals of three days, six or seven times in all, except in the case of hor ses that have lost tails and manes, when more applications may be req uisite. The expeiiment will be w ho ly a oe oce in I his country. It was remarked, however, that a msjority of tie people wio went into the oil regions when petrtjeum speculations were at tbe highest, came out bald beaded aod with a tirod appearance.

A few writers are advc,cat;tjg ma king burns as near air tight a p ssi ble for preserving hay. Oae of them says: The general opinion among farmers ic, that barog with air spaces between the boarding are better adapted to care and preserve bay than barns with very tight boarding and a tight bottom. But this opin ion is founded upon tbe snppoed fact that free access of air wil' assist in carrying off surplus moisture, and prevent beatjng aod fermentation, wbicb supposed fact is not a fapt all, when applied o a body of uncored hay. When this nccuted grass is spread iu thin layers on tbe field and exposed to tbe air, the moisture is carried off so rapidly as not to permit any beating or fermentation, but when placed in a thick body io a mow, tbe beat, with access of air, causes rapid fermentation. Tbe oxy gen of tbe air feeds the fermentation, and thus becemes tbe active cause of its destruction. This principle is familiar to a good housewife who preserves her fruit in an air-tight jar. We tri?d an experiment some years ago, wiiich applied the priociplo to keeping green cloyer. We took a large linseed oil cask, uubeadud one eod, Oiled it with green !eorer Just Ia blossom, containing all the san, ram med io solid, replaced the head, drove the hoops, and then stopped all air spaces with white lead and paint.

Remarkable Karape of Eminent ljin Some yefcj sago a young maa, hold ing a subordinate position in tbe East India Company's service, twice attempted to doprive himself of life by snapping a loaded pistol at his head.
