The model Clerk, Mr. Blo*'er, a Boston merchant, being in want of a clerk, took the readiest means to obtain one, i. p., he advertised. On ih*- morning succeeding the appearance of liis advertisement, he was seated in his office, when a knock was heard at the door, nod in answer to his invitation to "come in,” a young gentleman dressed in the extreme of fashion, with bis hat* turned jauntingly on ono side, a delicate cane swinging from his right hand, and an eye-glass sitting astride his nose, made his appearance. “What is your business, sir?" inquired Mr. 8., with some curiosity, for be was not accustomed to such visitors. ‘•I believe, sir," said the young gentle man, “you advertised Ibr a-aw-a secretary.” i “A clerk—yes, sir.” “Aw, all the same thing. 'Well, sir—aw —if we can agree upon terms, I should be —aw —flattered to proffer my services.” “Ah, indeed!" “Yes sir.' You will be pleased to learn th-it all my connections—aw—move in the first circles.” “Undoubtedly that is extremely gratifying. But you mentioned terms. May 1 ask you what you expect?” “Well, sir, perhaps a cduple of thousand or so. Then, sir, I should make certain stip ulations—aw—as to the time I’m employed.” “Go on.” - “For example, I never get up very early. 1 think il injures the health, burcould man age I think to get to the office by ten o’clock tevery day. I suppose there wouldn’t be any Difficulty about that ?” “Oh, no; air. It’s exceedingly reasona ble.” “Then I should want—aw—to have Wednesday and Saturday afternoons at my disposal. I always go to the Rehearsals—so many pretty girls there.” “Well, sir, proceed.” “Then 1 should not be willing to work later than five o'clock in the" afternoon.— Excessive labor is injurious to the health.” “Anything more?” “Well, no. Oh, yes. I should expect to have a vacation of six or eight weeks in the summer to go to the springs,” “Is that all ?” “Yes, sir, I believe so. What do you say ?’’ “Simply that on these terms I will become your clerk, if you will guarantee their fulfil ment. As to myself, 1 really must try to find somebody who can get along without the springs, rehearsals, etc., and who .does not set quite so high a value on his services.” The young gentleman left in visible dis-' gust, protesting that Mr. Blotter was “deci ■dedly behind the time.” —Yankee Blade. Potatoes. —The next in importance which requires attention at this Reason is that of the potato. There is no farmer we suppose, but plants at least a small crop, and in the aggregate il is of great value to the commu nity. It should be planted and tended with more care than it usually receives. Soil. —The potato adapts itself to every variety of soil.' It yields most abundantly on rather heavy and moist soils, but a light free soil makes them of a better quality.— They should by all means be planted on snd land, the richer the better. The crop would be more likely to be exempt from the fatal rot, if it were always on turf rich enough to produce a full crop without the direct appli cation of manures. Mancebs. —Unless the ground fae rich, an abundant supply of manure should be ap plied. The most economical method of ap plying it as regards the crop, is in the diill. Stable or barn yard manure should be planted immediately over the potato plantings, before covering. The advantage of so applying ii is that it preserves a uniform moisture, about the rootlets, a point of especial importance in the dry season to the potato. The coarsest litter and manure may be thus used advanta geously for this crop. Should the manure not be rich in quality, it is advisable to give besides two or three hundred pounds of mixed guano, or of Peruvian mixed with one fourth its bulk in plaster. Ashes and plaster mixed in equal quantities make an excellent top-dressing, dropped upon the plants after they come up. ISodest Resolutions. Peleg Gllapod, a correspondent of the Mar shall £Mich.)

Editors, reporters, primers, and telegraph operators, need no sleep at all. Lawyers can sleep as much as they choose, and thusr keep out of mischief. Clergymen can sleep twenty-four hours, and put their parish to sleep once a week. A colored woman was called to testify in a court in Worcester, Mass., recently in a trial of damages by a collision of two car riages on a highway. To the question whether one of the parlies was intoxicated, she answered that she did not know, but “he went as though he had a bill of sale on both sides of the road.’’ Dr. Franklin used to say that rich widows was the only piece of second-hand goods that is sold nt prime cost.

The farmers (and they really ought to have as much as anybody, for they are to our country what a main spring is to a watch,) wants a little more for their wheal, buckwheat, rye, corn, oats, potatoes, &c., than the purchaser feels able and willing to pay.

Report of the Committee appointed to superintend the Burning of the Iron at Reading , Feh. “The undersigned, members of the committee, do respectfully report, that we; saw the two Safes origi nally agreed upon by Farrels & Herring and Evans & Watson, placed side by; side in a iornace, viz: The Sale in use by the Paymaster of the Philadel phia and Reading Railroad Company, in his office at Reading, manufactured* by Farrels & Herring, and the safe in use by H.

The Safes were then cooled bffl with water, after which they were opened and thej books and [papers taken out bv the Committee and sent to H. A.
