SATURDAY NIGHT T..DE WITT TALMAGE We read Ruskin in the art-gallery ; we read Longfelloullsby the sea; we read Ike Marvel under the trees ; we read hearth and Home on Saturday night. When the week is past, and we gather at the evening stand, with the world put off, and our slippers put on, give us n good family newspaper. It is the hardest thing In the world to make. Family newspapers only a few years ago were dolorous things. The columns were full of accounts of boys and girls who alWays sat Up straight, and kept their faces clean, and wiped their feet on the door-mat. The theol ogy was cast-iron, and the story wooden, with a long moral, not growing out but tagged on ; so that the children took the moral with a wry face for the sake of getting the story, just as they swallowed the calomel with the promise : " There, now, you shall have a sugar plum !" The world has learned that a thing is not necessarily good because it is dry. There Is no religion in chips. We never could see any sanctity in husks. The donkey bath no hila rity in his voice, and no nonsense in the twitch of his ear. Ile never was known to dance— yet lie never gets higher than his feed-box. While the robin and the lark, front the tip of bill to tip of claw, all life and joy and merri ment, with their wings brush the door-latch of heaven. I will like it the inure if the editor dips his pen In the dew to tell me of the morn ing, and In roseate to describe the sunset, and into the purple vats to suggest the vineyards ; and if then he fasten his sheets together with a blue band, torn from the forehead of heaven. There is yet to be such a thing as holiness on the bells of the horses ; and when Religion shall hate completed the conquest of the earth, I expect to see all the diamonds of the universe flashing in the rim of her tiara. The fancily newspaper must have a touch of romance. Alas for this day of naked facts I We deplore this unromancing of every thing. We have a rail-track to the top of Mount Washington. The trees under which Henry Clay walked arc cut up into walking-sticks. They have turned Passaic Falls into a mill race. Be not surprised if Independence Hall gets to be an oyster-cellar. Dear old Santa Claus lies been pushed off the top of the chimney and had his neck broken. Facts I Facts I Facts I Give us in our family newspaper a little ro mance. It will do no harm to hear of moon light and ramble, and sail on the lake with only two in the boat ; and while you despise elope ments as unwise and dangerous, do not fear to tell ns of the father who wanted his daughter to marry sonic rich old Disagreeable, while the young titan was ready with hard bands and loving heart to earn for her a home in the cottage. I ant glad that the ladder did not break, and that Timothy Barnet won the prlzeM Give us moro spice in our family newspaper. We meet in our daily walks so much that is depressing, give us in our family newspaper whole bundles of spice : jokes that you can understand without laborious explanation, conundrums, quips and quirks, harmless satire, caricatures of the world's foibles, and looking glasses in which to see our failings. Yes, give place occasionally to the much abused pun. Those only despise the pun who cannot make one. Take the quill, and after you have made the split In it, sharpen it down until the point I is keen enough to puncture the toughest in consistency. Let the sheet be fresh and healthy,in it a smell of-cedar and new cut grass. Let us bear in the rhythm of some of the sen tences the moan of an untravelled wood, and the sweep of a wing of a partridge. Instead of the artificial dye of stale imagery, crush against the printed leaf a bunch of huckleber ries and sumac. We are tired out with all this about the nightingale ; for pity's sake, catch for us a brown-thresher, and let us hear a hen cluck. Instead of riding Buceplialus to death, halter that sorrel colt. Talk not so much to us about frankincense to 'the neglect of penny. royal and brookmint. Get out • with your commonplace remark about " solitary horse man coming over the bill." Instead of talk ing so Much about the "Bulls of Bashan," drive up the Bridle and Durham. This is a grand old world if you would only let us see it as it is. The bookworm who sits down to write. having learned only of trees, tEas mninitalns, anti waters tram only nun.), knows nothing about them. You have to put on your high-top-boots, and wade right out up to your waist and pluck a water-lily, If you would see it to the best advantage. 1 had been with many a picnic party to see " But termilk Falls," but not until the other day when I went alone, and had a stolen inter view with that cascade, did I really see her perfect beauty, as, shoving aside her ribbons of rainbow, she told me all about her tragical leap front the rocks. On Saturday night, as we open the family ' paper, let us catch the odor of pine, and the glance of an autumnal leaf dropping like the spark from Et forge. Let some geranium leaf overpower the smell of printer's ink. Tell us of home. Let rut know how tk o iveinught to be attentive to their husbands, and how husbands —but never mind that. Come, 0 Hearth and Home! into the front door with a blessing. Our week's work done, and notes paid, and accounts squared, and the hurry over, and the Sabbath near, speak you a cheerful word to the desponding, a chiding word to the per plexed ; and help the ten thousand of the weary and the foot-sore, and the hardy be side, by the still camp-tires of life's great bat tle field, to thank God that the seven days' march is over, and it is Saturday night. 13e fore long our pens, and needles, and towels, andyardsticks and saws and pickaxes will be still. With , i our hand n the hands of.some loved one, we will be waiting .for a brighter Sunday morning than earth saw ever. Others call that Waiting—Death. I call it Saturday Night.—Hearth and Home. A REV 0 LT3 T lON IN TEL GRAPII I NG A complete revolution is shortly to take place In the system of telegraphing, the rapidity and cheapness of transmission enabling such a reduction In the price that it will ultimately monopolize the business correspondence of the the country, even if it should remain in pri vate hands. The patentee of this new system claims the power to transmit messages ten thnes as rapidly as an expert penman can write, and to do as much business over one wire as can be done over ten wires by the Morse sys tens of transmission. The rates of charges cententnlated by the patentees of this new sys tete are one cent per word for all distances, the cheapness of which could not fail to draw from the mails all business correspondence, as well as much of a private character that cannot afford to wait the comparatively slow postal transmission. We had been frequently urged by the in• ventor, and his friends, to visit New York and witness the operation of the new instrument, .and delayed doing se until a few weeks since, when it was thoroughly tested in our presence. The letters transmitted were the Morse alphabet, and, what is most singular is, that the transmission is done without any know ledge on the part of either the receiver or the sender, as to the contents of the dispatch. It is an automaton process, and requires no skill ed operators, the preparing of the despatches being done by another instrument, ten of which, presided over by girls, being required to keep one wire in steady operation. Any one who can read menus ript, can work these instruments, as oven a knowledge of the Morse alphabet is not essential. The transmitting Instruments, as well as the copy machines, are worked by magnetism, and the rapidity and smoothness with which they move, shows that the new motive power is essential to the suc cess of the invention. We watched the oper ation in every particular, and found that our experience in telegraphing could not suggest one obstacle that bad not been provided for by the ingenious and skillful inventor, who has himself bad-great experience in telegraphing, both in this country and Europe. We watched the working of the reception instrument with great interest, believing it im possible to clearly transmit letters with such rapidity. The result, however, proved that the formation of the letters was more clear and I distinct than we have over seen them by the Morse instrument, the record being made by the magnetic fluid on 'chemically prepared paper, the dots and dashes being as clear and distinct as if made by a pen. But even the rapidity of transmission then attaided, we are assured, was not to the extent to which the inventor believed he could ultimately reach. The system of transmission is only limited by the rapidity with which the receiving and transmitting instruments can, be run with safety, and the inventor is confident in the be lief that from fifteen hundred to two thousand letters per minute can be transmitted, with all the correctness 'and clearness that the nine hundred were passed through the Instruments in our presenee. Those experienced in tele graphing will at once exclaim that this might be done with two instruments in the same room, but when tested over long distances, with the accompanying atmospherie retarda tion, a ,failure would be inevitable.

PRACTICAL FARMING If you take my advice you won't practice agriculture for a living. This thing of being a farmer is all very nice to read about, you know, but if you get in the business yon will wish you had been born in an orphan asylum, and died in your second summer. I don't want to obtrude my private airs on the public, but I am like an awful example In a temperance lecture, you understand, and if I can save any other man from my fate, why lam going to do it. My advice to tell men is, be an honorable organ grinder, or an ex- President, or a Gorilla, or go into the cold victual business, or peddle matches, but don't agric ooaght a small farm in New Jersey, and became a husbandman. I stocked the estate with all the apparatus, and as I didn't know anything more about farming than n goose does about four dollars a week, I engaged a mall named Stoddles as my constitutioinil ad viser. Stoddles professed to be up to all the herbolie dodges, but I must confess that al't'er eighteen months I considered Stoddles a trend. As an absolute failure he is a pbrfect suee4s. In the first place there was not a drop of water on the premises, and Stoddles said he would advise me as a friend, to dig a well. So I got a lot of tools and begun. We hadn't dug more than six feet before we struck solid rock. I wanted to slant her off to one side, but Steadies observed that that was the rock on which the State of New Jersey was founded and we would have to blast her. So we blasted her and got one of the finest earthquakes you ever saw in all your born days. It shook down two chimneys and a lightning rod, And Stoddles was struck on the head with a falling brick. We dug in that well for a week, and, we struck everything but water. I could have got coal, oil, marble, gold, marl, or anything else out of that excavation, but I was looking for cold water just then, and I would not touch anything else. Stoddles took me aside at the end of the week, and confidently advised me to stick nt it; "for," said he,'' " you know if you can't get water at first, if you keel) on you're bound to strike water on the outside, and then you have a sure thing of It ; you have got it all in your own hands, you understand." Stoddles put me in mind of a man who grew his carrots so long that the Chinese pulled them through by the roots front the opposite side of the globe before he got a chance at t My oxen were singular oxen. They both seemed to have St. Vitus dance in their fails, for they could never keep them Still. It an noyed use, for I was afrnid every minute they would work loose, and no decent (firmer, you know, wants to be wandering round with bobdalled oxen. So I tied on a stone to the end of each tail to keep them down, and this worked well enough until one morning when the flies were bad, and the near ox got his brush up, stone ,and all, and like to have brained my oldest boy. I've got the tail tied to his off hind leg now, and if lie wants to switch it he's got to lift himself off of the ground. And it's the same way with the hens. I bought a lot of liens on purpose to lay eggs, but they're not on that lay. Every one I've got seems to feel that she is out of her normal sphere if she is not setting. That old speckled hen of mine has been thrown up in iu the air, soused in cold water, put under a barrel, and had all the inducements held out toiler to knock too, but she has a good deal of firmness of character, and she is now trying to hatch a door knob and a grindstone handle, and I think she'll succeed. I planted some onions some time ago, and I waited all Summer to see them bear. lint they didn't. After they bad gone to seed, Mr. Stoddles said that onions grow under ground and I ought to have dug them out. Next year I plagted some tomatoes, and as non as they came I began digging for them. Mr. Stoddles said that I had ruined all the plants, for tomatoes grew on top. Why don't they nave mese wings taxl arm., - • • What's the use of one growing In the ground and the other out of it ? Why there ain't any. I planted potatoes last year, but they didn't seem to grow. "Never you mind," said Mr. Stoddles, "then, all is right." But I was naturally impatient, and so after waiting seven mouths, I went out and dug for one, and there it was, in the very spot where I put it, looking so familiar and natural that I sat down mind cried like a baby. Thep I, dug them all up, they had kept first rate. There don't seem to be much pr.4lt in it. Mr. Stoddles remarked that they w re not a prolific variety, and I don't think they were myself. Don't ever keep bees. I have sonic, but Stoddles accidently sat down one day, :toil lie made such a howl about it that the whole hive swarmed on me and scared me out of ny senses. I like a sociable bee, but there is such a thing as overdoing cordiality. flow are you on parsnips Y I advise on not to cultivate them. A man gave nie tkine seeds which lie said were a good variety. I planted one to try it. It was a double-rooted kind—straddled out like a fork in the road. \Viten it got ripe I thought I would take it tip, but it wouldn't come. I tackled that parsnip with a monkey wrench, a crowbar:and a cross cut saw, but it never budged an inch. Simi dles said it was on account of them roots, and I had better have them extracted with gas. Ile said Ile thought "very likely them two roots ran around the globe, like the equator, and clinched on the other side." So we got out a yoke of oxen, and hitched them on, and the old vegetable came along with half a tun of rock in his grip', and then it was so tough that you couldn't make any im pression on it with a . cold-chisel. I suppose you are not bothered ally with crows. Well, I am. The crow is a viva cious and sagacious bird. Our crows combined the acute intelligence of the human condo. I sowed a patch of corn last spring, and went to tea at night feeling sweetly and calmly happy. The crows held a'caucus that evening and tell in for grub on my corn. There wasn't a grain left in the morning. I sowed some more, and harrowed It in; you know what a harrow is—an exaggerated cur rycomb. Well, strange to relate, the crows missed just Seven grains of that corn, and pre cisely that number of stalks came up, and probably I should have got In a crop of two or three ears to the acre, Utile cows hadn't broke the fence and atiLit before it came to anything. Mr. Stoddles 5115-s corn is a poor crop. I should think it was. As I couldn't got water from the well, I concluded to take it from the river. So Id down a mile and a half of pipe, and set a hy draulic rain to force the water along. It worked first-rate, but the trouble is 1 can't stop the ram. After I got enough water in the tank, the ram kept on pumping, and the water overflowed and drenched the house, and flooded the kitchen, and finally arranged itself into a first-class cascade out of the gar ret window. It is going yet, anti I sleep in lie barn. If you hear of anybody advertising or a magnificent waterfall let me know, will you Y And then as to horses. I know that man whose horse went so fast that when he stopped him suddenly it turned the hair the wrong way, but that la not the forte of my horse. My horse's weakness is backing. As a backer 1 never saw his equal. Lie would back front here to KIMPAIS if you'd let hint. Ile seems to think that the way nature intended him to go. I always hitch him up with his head over the dash board of the wagon, and he trots along first rate. - That is, he used to. For last Wednesday I tied 111111 to a tree, and begot one-of his fits on him, and backed clear out of his hide, which he left hitched to the tree while he pranced his old carcass over the asparagus bed, and died. But as he had the glanders, and' was worried with the bets, and bothered with the blind staggers, besides having the heaven, and being sprung in the knees, it was perhaps just as well. Mr. Stoddles says that it is the best day's job he ever did, I concluded to raise turnips this season. Stoddles brought me some seed out of a tur nip wnich he says took the prize at the show. I planted one, and it sprouted in an hour and a half. The next day the turnip wee nine feet in diameter. Mr. Stoddles says he never saw such a turnip for growing in the whole course of his life, and Stoddles has had expe rience. In a week it covered half an acre. Day before yesterday It covered the whole field. You know them earthquakes which nbetohas a obtained taxis to stop have been around y Well I think this is st f o o p r It is all on account of this turnip and it is still spreading.
