Reasons for Risibility.
BY OLOYER WENDELL HOLMES.
Sweet coz! I'm happy when I can,
I'm merry while 1 may.
For life's at most a narrow span,
At best a winter's day.
If care could make the sunbeam wear
A brighter, warmer hue,
The evening star shine out more fair,
The blue sky look more blue,
Then I should bo a graver man
But tince 'tis not the way,
Sweet coz! I'm happy when I can,
And merry when I may!
If sighs could make us sin tho less,
l?et chance I were not glad
If mourning were the sage's dress,
My garb should then be sad.
Eut since the angels' wings are white,
And e'en the young saints smile
Since virtue wears a brow of light,
And vice a robe of guile
Since laughter is not under ban,
Nor gladness clad in gray
Sweet coz! I'm happy when 1 can,
And merry when I may!
I've seen a bishop danco and reel.
And a sinner fast and pray,
A knave at the top of Fortune's wheel,
And a good man cast away!
Wino 1 have seen your grave ones quaff,
Might set our fleet afloat;
But I never heard a hearty laugh
From out a villain's throat;
And I never knew a mirthful man
Make sd a young maid's day
So, coz! I'm happy when I can,
And merry when 1 may!
Move On!
The march of Life should never slay
All things should onward tend;
Man should not clog progression's way,
But strive to move and mend.
The waters move in depth of ocean,
The streams along the dales,
And rivulets, with onward motion,
Through sweet and verdant vales,
Move on!
The clouds move gently through the sky,
The earth rolls ever on;
Time swiftly in its course runs by,
And years pass one by one.
Man, too should strive to follow them,
In this their onward way,
rermilting nought the tide to stem,
But ever, day by day,
Move on!
Men may be wiser, if they strive
More virtuous, if they will;
And who, within the world, would thrive,
Must aim at higher still.
Let bigots stand by doctrines old,
Tho wiso may pass them by;
Weak minds will cling with subtle hold,
But strong ones, valiantly,
Moro on'.
lake water rolling to tho accan,
Down mountains fil'd on high--Like
clouds forever In commotion,
Th at move across the sky
Will wc forever onward press,
Tnus fetterless and free;
And deeming virtue happiness,
Our watch-word ever be:
Move on!
A Gentleman. Show me the man
who can quit the brilliant society of the
young, to listen to the kindly voice of age
who can hold cheerful converse with
one whom years have deprived of charms
show mo the man who is willing to
help the deformed who stand in need of
help, as if the blush of Helen mantle on
her cheek show me the man who would
no more look rudely at the poor girl in
the village than at the elegant and well
dressed lady of the saloon show me the
man who treats unprotected maidenhood
as he would the heiress, surrounded by
the powerful protection of rank, riches,
and family show me the man who ab
hors the libertine's guile, who shuns a
blasphemer, the traducer of his mother's
sex who scorns as ho would a coward,
the ridiculcr of woman's foibles, or the
cxposer of womanly reputation show
me that man who never forgets for an in
stant the delicacy, the respect that is due
to woman as woman in any condition or
class show me such a man and you show
me a gentleman.
On Pshaw. A good joke is told of a
young couple riding home from church
after their marriage. The day had been
cloudy, and the young man seeing the
clouds break away, said -I hope wc shall
soon have a little sun.' The young wife
replica very honestly, 4As for me, I should
rather have a little daughter!'
Douglas
Jcrrold says: The
women
arc all alike. When they are maids,
they're mild as milk; once make" them
wives, and they lean their backs against
their marriage certificate and defy you.'
dfGen. Guy on. an Irish soldier, is the
last leader ot the Hungarian foices who

not large, but he is swron not to surrender

Above bis Easiness
It is a serious evil that many a young
man has fallen into, to be above his busi
ness. A person learns a trade, but he is
too proud to work at it, and must go to
shop-keeping, or street-loafing, or turn
politician. Fool! If he cannot make a
livino- at his trade, we are sure he cannot
in any other way. And then young men
brought up to shop-keeping, must buy
farms or houses, or some other foolish
things they know nothing about, and what
is the result? Head over heels in debt,
and certain failure. Multitudes have been
ruined by being above tneir business, and
branching out into what they know noth
ing about.
There is no trouble about young men
who do not feel their importance, and who
arc willing to work at their trades or pro
fessions till they get a little beforehand.-
With a small capital to fall back upon,
they can feel like venturing into other bu
siness and by this time they will have
formed habits that will be likely lio keep
them straight. Those who succeed best
in life, are men who stick to their busi
ness and make money, before they buy
farms, and houses, and commence specu
lating. Look at our successful men, and
you will see where lies the secret of their
success. l ou will find that they were
never above their business, and never paid
for the doing of a job, which thev could
tust as well do themselves. We know a
man worth from thirty to forty thousand
dollars, and no laborer in the city works
harder than he. He never hesitates to
take off his coat to do any kind of work
about his premises. Such a man is not
above his business; but we think he is
too far in the other extreme. Of this we
arc sure: if all men will be prompt and
punctual stick to their business and not
be too proud they will eventually sue
ceed, and become independent. Boston

Americanisms.
A correspondent of the Boston Chrono
type, writing from Georgia, gives the fol
lowing description of the modes which
prevail in different parts of the country, of
butchering: the kinb s enfflish.
The Buckeye and the Georgian both
reckon where the Yankee guesses, but
while the Buckeye tells you perhaps, that
his neighbor, who has been sufferinff a
long time with the 'chills and fever, is
powerful week, the Georgian would speak
ot the same person as being mighty on
iccu: ut another he misrut sav 'he is
mighty lazy,' or 'he is a. mighty coward.'
The Buckeye reckons that there are right
smart of cat-fish m the Muskingum, or the
Sciota, as the case may be, but the Ten-
ncsseean allows that there is a right smart
chance of deer amonj the mountains of
the Blue Ridge, or a mighty heap of bars
(bears) among: the Cumberland hills.
The New Englander says of an event 'it's
;artin as preachin The Southerner
would say, 'it's sure as shoot in. 9 The
up country Georgian never raises or caus
es to be produced, a crop of corn; but he
makes a crap of corn. He does not car
ry anything, he totes it. He does not
say I have already done so and so; but I
have done done,' so and so. 'Study your
lesson thar Jeems, says the pedagogue
'ljiave none got it, sir, replies the young
cracker. Ihe cracker never say sun-rise
but talks ot sun-up as well as sun-down
Iledoes not promise to meet his friend at
the village tavern an hour before sun-set,
but, ' hour by sun.1 An intelligent child

The Southerner knows no such a word
as stone. If a pig or a cow or a man is
pelted with 'miniature boulders' he is said
to be rocked; unless the incident happens
in Arkansas, where they throw or fire
dornicks at one! The word dornick, of
which 1 do not know the derivation, su
percedes both stone and rock. You may
remember the closing stanza of that pa
thetic balled 'Rosin the Bow,' which reads
thus:
Then fetch me a couple of dornicks,
riaco one at my head and my toe.
And do not forget to writo on it,
The name of old Rosin the Dow.
I allow that's enough for the first chap
ter of my 'Dictionary of Southerisms' and
I reckon I'll say no more now."

About six years ago, Mr. Augustine
Kennedy, the City Collector of St. Louis
was charged with being a defaulter to the
amount of $8000. He protested his inno
cence, said it must be owing to an error in
auditing his accounts, and requested that a
committee of Councils should examine his
books. This was done, but no error de
tected leaving it manifest that he was a
defaulter. Disgrace and ruin, Mr. K. was
dismissed from office.
Yesterday, the present Auditor had oc
casion to overhaul the old day-book where
he lound that $10,000 was marked posted
though no posting was made This was
the error which the committee and Mr. K.
were unable to ferret out. Thus it will
be seen that instead of Mr. Kenncrlv be
ing a defaulter, the city owes him $2,000
. i
dollars, witn six years interest, which is
but a poor recompense for his blighted
reputation, though it it must be indeed a
gratification to him to make his honesty
manifest, even at this late day.
Do you know Mr. ?' asked one
friend of another, referring to an old gen
tlcman who was famous for his fondness
for the extract)f hops.
Yes sir, I know him very well.'
What kind of a man is he?'
Why. in the morning when ho gets
up, he is a beer barrel, and in the even
ing when he goes to bed he is a barrel of
jeer.

Keep the Premises Clean.
Every cultivator should keep his pre
mises as clean as possible, lor the impor
tant purposes ot saving manure and pro
moting health. Some discerning persons
remark thnt in the hot summer, while ve
getation is in a flourishing condition, it is
more healthy in the country than in the
city, but the reverse is the case in Septem
ber, and October, as at this season many
vegetable productions have come to matu
rity and are decaying, filling the air with
noxious gases and odors; hence arise le
vers, dysentary, and other complaints
which arc more common in the country
early in fall. We give this view of the
subject, which some have presented, and
we will make a few remarks on subjects
that claim the particular attention of every
cultivator, whether this view be correct or
not.
Keep the premises, particularly around
the dwelling, perfectly free from every
substance that will taint the air. Every
decaying vegetable of animal substance
should be removed a good distance, and
then covered in earth, for the purpose of
manure.
The pig-pen, though at a respectable
distance, should be supplied with loam to
absorb all liquid matter. All manure m
the barn-yard should be covered with
loam, sand, or mud, to save it from waste,
and to keep the air pure, as, in changes so
common to the wind, the air is likely to
be wafted from the barn to the house.
Cellars should be made as clean as pos
sible, particularly as they communicate
directly with the dwelling above, and any
foul air produced in them is very liable to
pass into the house. All vegetables in the
cellar that are tending to decay should be
removed immediately. It is best to ven
tilate cellars thoroughly by opening doors
and windows, and to keep the door open
as little as possible that communicates with
the rooms.
Ground plaster, and freshly burnt char
coal, set in vessels or strewed around in
cellars, or other places where foul air ex
ists, or is liable to be produced, has a very
healthy effect by absorbing gases.
Necessaries often produce a foul atmos
phere around them; and as the dwelling is
I - ' 4. Cf
near, the offensive air is often wafted to it,
and even when not perceptable it is often
operating injuriously. Some prepare these
conveniences and cover with loam or oth
er substances all night soil, so as to do
away entirely with all unpleasant and un
wholesome effects. When this is not the
case, charcoal, plaster, chloride of lime, or
other disinfectants, should be thrown into
the vault, to absorb all noxious odors.
Water from the sink should be absorbed
in loam &c, for manure, instead of rising
in foul gases and being blown into the
house. There are some cases ot maiig
nant and fatal disorder going through a
family, while all the rest of the neighbor
hood are in rood health. This is often
owinar to some local cause, some foul pud
die, pool, or stagnant pond, near the dwel
ling, or a general negligence as to keeping
the premises clean.
Decaying weeds, grass, potatoes affect
ed with the rot, potato tops, pumpkin and
other vines, and various productions, are
underffoinor decomposition m the tall; and
in the ajrarrefrate the amount is large, and
filhner the air with pestilential gases. Far
mers may do much good to themselves
and the community by burying all such
substances, and converting them into ma
nure. JUaKe mem into a cuiupui iitup
well covered with loam, to absorb the ga

Flics on Horses.
Flics arc a ercat trouble to horses at
this season. Tbey will cat all the sfcm
" ... . . .
nfT thfi inside of their ears, and then feed
upon the flesh, producing a great deal o
pain and uneasiness, i nis evu may oe
prevented by rubbing upon the inside of

their ears a little grease or ou, wnicn
should be repeated occasionally. Every
merciful man who has a horse, will be
merciful to his beast,' and prevent this
injury.
Azricultnre the Leading Interest
It is supposed that three-fourths of the
population of the country are employed in
ao-riculture; the other quarter Deing uiviueu
among all other employments and proles
sions. Besides, the mechanic, the manu
turcr. the merchant, and the professional
man, are all mainly dependent upou the
farmer for patronage and support. When
the farmers as a class are prosperous, al
others participate in their prosperity.
From this it follows that whatever benefits
fhp nnrrieultural class, directly benefits
three-fourths of the people, and indirectly
benefits the other fourth.
Surely, then, the farmers nave a ri zht
tn demand of the rrovernment the means
to sustain their agricultural societies, and
to collect and disseminate the important
information relative to their calling. Let
the light of science and education be brought
to the aid of agriculture. Let our resour
ces be developed, and the skill and indus
try of the husbandmen be directed into
their proper channels, and that would, soon
be obtained in which not only the farmer
would reioice, but the whole community
with him. Maine Farmer.
Such facts as the above cannot be loo
widely disseminated; and if our editorial
brethern will only press the attachment of
"a bureau oi agncunure iu me -
. - i . . nauiitT.i Arm.
ed home department of the general gov
ernment, we may hope for a channel
through which agricultural improvements
may be made known. Is it not ridiculous
that the interests of three-quarters of the
whole community should be left as secon
dary in importance to those of one quarter?
We admire the practice of the society of
Friends, 'to pay due deference to the wish
es of a respectable minority,' but cannot
consent that our politeness should so for
interfere with our interests as to permit
the minority alone to be fostered by gov
ernment patronage. Mape's American
Farmer.
CThere is an even-tide in human life,
a season when the eve becomes dim, and
the strength decays, when the winter of
age begins to shed upon the human head
its prophetic snows. It is the season of
life to which the autumn is most analagous,
and which it becomes, and much it would
profit you my elder brethren, to mark the
instruction which the season brings. The
spring and summer of your days are gone,
and with them are gone also, not only the
joys they knew, but many of the friends
who gave them. You have entered upon
the autumn of your being and whatever
may have been the profusion of your spring,
or the warm temperament of your sum
mer, there is a season of stillness or soli
tude, w hich the beneficence of Heaven af
fords you, in which you may meditate up
on the past and future, and prepare your
self for the mighty change which you may
soon underjro. It is now that you may
understand the magnificent language of
Heaven it mingles its voice of revela
tion it summons you to those hours when
the leave s fall, and the winter is gathering,
to that evening study which the mercy of
Heaven has provided in the book of salva
tion. And while the shadowy vally opens
which leads to the abode of death, it speaks
of that love which can comfort and save,
and which conducts to those green pastures
and those still waters, where there is an
eternal spring for the children of God.
. A Noble Sister
The York Sun gives the particulars of
the noble conduct of a sister, which de
serves general publicity. It apppers a
young man named Uradly, who had lelt
Gardiner Me., many years before, and
gone to sca,was last winter attacked with
paralysis, and was taken to one ot our pub
ic institutions, where alter a time he par
tially recovered, but when he essayed to
walk, he fell and broke both his shoulder
and his thigh in such a manner that it is
not likely he will ever get well. His rel
atives knew nothing ot his condition, but
by some means a litde sister, who is an
assistant teacher in a school in Charleston
Mass., heard of the accident that had be-
allen him, and at once came on to this
city, ishe was a poor girl, but she lound
kind friends who assisted her to take her
brother on to Charleston, where she in
tends to support him and herself by her
daily toil. A girl who so bravely takes
charge of a brother who will be a tax up
on her for life, is no ordinary girl.
Deacon Havens. Kingly tells a very
good story about Deacon Havens. It ap
pears that, at last harvest time, tho dea
con had a "mowing bee," and among tho
party was two interesting sons of Belial,
who were more inclined to cut capers
than clover. One of their tricks on the
old man consisted of filling the tin horn
with soft soap; and then slightly stop
ping the orifice with cotton. When 12
o'clock came, our venerable friend seized
the loaded instrument, and cave a blast
which scattered the contents far and near.
To say that the deacon was displeased,
would but slightly describe his feelings.
He was enraged; for the first time in his
life, he became excited. Says he:
"Gentlemen, I am an old man I am the
head of the Sunday School, and haVia
preached the gospel for five and thirty
lonsr years but I'll be d d if I can't
lick the man who soft soaped that tru m
pet!" Albany Dutchman.
Ain't you afraid you will break, while
falling so! said a chap in the pit of a cir
cus to the clown.
'Why so?' asked the latter.
'Because you are a tumbler,1 replied the
wag. I he clown fainted.
