i, -i AVIT AND SEXTDIEXT. CIot a Baby. "A well spring of jov"has been opened in the liouse of j u dear friend and correspondent, and the consequence is he is so de liy;hted, he don't know which end he is standing on. J ust listen at him : "Last Thursday evening, to us a child was born, and a son was given. We feel proud of our baby, it is so pretty and sweet, so our better halt tavs. It is a bov, of course, our wife wanted a boy so we gave up to her the times being to hard too split the difference, and have a boy and girl both at once. Our time will come next see if it don't. Our baby weighs eight pounds, and all the la dies say it is stieli a pretty little cher ub, and looks just like its papa. Of course it is pretty under those cir cumstances. It has black eyes, dark hair and the sweetest, latest little face, and the way it can cry is a cau tion to a Calliope but then its little voice is so charming producing such harmony of sweet sounds. It was the first time we ever heard our ba by's voice, and what a thrill of happi ness did that little voice send thro' our bosom. But we are too happy to express our feelings. We are at least two feet taller than we were before our baby was born, and think our selves good enough to become a preacher. We pity everybody that hasn't iiot a babv, and as for old bach elors, we entertain a sovereign con tempt for them, and intend to lam the first one that presumes to have the effrofjjy to speak to us. i'oor old maids, from the bottom of our heart we feel sorry for them. Oh, that they could realize the happiness of a young mother with her first born. Young men and young ladies, too, our advice to them is, '(Jo thou and do likewise" it would make them so happy to have a baby. We have warned everybody not to in tuit us, for we feel big enough- and ttronij enough to join the Fenians and whip old England, and all the j European powers thrown in. We are-going to call it Andy Johnson, because we want him to be a noble follower in his footsteps." Excessive HoXESTY.Sitting in the Peoria House barber shop, one evening last winter, we were much amused at a conversation which took place between a well-known forwarding airent and a certain rail road freight agent: "There's swind ling in all trades but oxirs." "That's to with us," replied Charlie. "Oh, yes !" said Henry, "railroads never swindle. Their officers never steal anything that's otit of their reach,'" and with a few side remarks the sub ject was dropped, until another well known railroad man entered. "K," taid Charlie, "Henry says that rail road men never steal anvthing that is out of their reach." "Welf," re plied K., "river men have an advan tage in that line, by using a long pike pole with a hook on it. O, yes ! river men are honest; the smallest business they ever do is to break open a box of oranges, steal a dozen, and then charge 'cooperage' for nail ing up the box !"' The Illinois river man owned up beat, and soon be came a man of few words. Xo Roots ok 15ihes ix IIe.vvex. That eccentric Jlethodiist preach er, Lorenzo Dow, of whom po many anecdotes are rile in the South and "West, was once stopping at a hotel in New York, kept by a man named liu-jh. Among the guests was a gen eral Hoot. They occasionally made themselves merry at Lorenzo's ex pense. One day Gen. Hoot began upon him thus : "Mr. Dow, you tell us a great deal about Heaven. Xow, I want you to tell me plainly what hort of a place Heaven is." "With imperturable gravity, the preacher replied: "Heaven, gentlemen, is a smooth, rich, fertile country ; there isn't a root or bush in it, and there never will be' That Hoot and liush subsided, and Mr. Dow wasn't farther troubled. Boy Bames. Mrs. Senator Kate Chase Sprague, following the exam ple of more common people, has a baby, a boy about five weeks old. Mrs. Sprague's mother-in-law pre sented her with 500, 000 for having a boy, and settled 8100,000 on the iorrunate lime stranger, i no scrip ture says "the laborer is worthy of his hire," but isn't half a million rather extravagant pay for such a rformanee, especially with milk at ten cents a quart. FARMER'S COLUMN. Analysis of Soils. Most people suppose that if the analysis of two different soils are alike, the ground will be equally productive for any kind of crops. This is correct in theory, but does not hold good in practice. Judge French writes: ' 'A poor soil, chemically speaking, may give as good crop as a rich one. Coemists usually give their results in per centages, aud call a soil more or less fertile, as it contains a great er or less per cent, of plant food. A heavy, rich loam, may often be rendered more productive by the addition of an equal bulk of pure sand, which would add no element of plant food, and would reduce the mass fifty per cent, in its apparent value, as chemicallv tested. Trees. Nothing is so attractive to the traveller as fine country resi dences; and how much might be added to the appearance of many, indeed most of our farms, if proper attention were paid to the planting of shade trees in their appropriate places. They are something for the eye to feast upon; they please the imagination, cheer the heart, and bring with them all the associa tions of happiness. Sociality, re finement, and learning follow in the train of rural improvement. Noth ing contributes, in our estimation, so much to the pleasantness of a place as the presence of trees; and surely no luxury of half their value can be procured for the same price. LiuiNi;. This operation can be done through the months of June and July. Those who neglected to have their grafting done this spring can resort to budding, as there is entire safety in performing the lat ter operation yet, where the grafts have been properly preserved. We prefer grafting to budding, as a rule, but sometimes the latter is the best, as in the case of peaches and cher ries. From our experience with the two we think grafting makes more wood the first year, comes into bearing earlier, and we know it makes a handsomer tree. Valuable to Farmeks. Leaves of the alder, if strewn among corn or other grain when it is put into the bin, will effectually preserve it from the ravages of the weevil. The juice will also kill bedbugs and maggots. Insects never touch alder bushes. The leaves of the alder scattered over cabbages, cucumbers and other plants subject to the rav ages of insects, will eifectually shield them. The plum and other fruits may be saved by placing on the branches and among them bunches of alder leaves. Scab ix Sheep. To cure "scab"' after shearing, dip in a strong de coction of tobacco, keep the sheep in from one to two minutes. Hold the nose out at first, then immerse entirely. A little sulphur, say twen ty pounds to the hundred sheep, may be added to the decoction of tobacco, with good effect. The first night after dipping, put the sheep asleep in a close shed. Then move to a new pasture and herd in new Yards. Gkease the Wheels. Oil and black lead is supposed to be the best substance, but we have always found lard and flour apparently as good. If the wheels are kept well lubricated very little difference will be found between the ease of run ning wooden and iron axles in or dinary frame work. The smaller the action the less will be the fric tion, other things being equal, be cause the spokes have a greater pur chase, the friction being the resist ing force, and being nearer the end of the level when the axle is small. Oxe pound of green copperas, dissolved in one quart of water, and poured down a sink drain, will ef fectually destroy the foulest smells. For water-closets about hotels and other public places there is nothing so nice to cleanse as simple green copperas. Sucking Cows. The best way to cure sucking cows, is to put on on old bridle, with the bit in tl j animal's mouth. This is said 1 le to be the least injurious to the cow, and at the same time the most ef fectual preventive. A kiss is the receipt given for paying addresses. PRICES REDUCED.
