Row TO-SAVE CORN FODDER.—lltuelt of the value•of corn fodder is destroyed , by careless handling, even in the dis tricts where they . store it for seed.— This is especially, true of the corn the t is cut up by the ground, and put in shocks to cure. curing process goeS on safely while it remains lr;+ tla shock, but the husking begins while the stalks are yet green at the bottom, and the fodder is immediately stacked or carried' to the barn and stored in bulk. It soon heats and moulds. If, after httsking, the stalks are bound immedi ately in byndles, of convenient size for handling, and put into large shocks of thirty or forty bundles, set up end Wise, and capped with straw they will cure With - out moulding, and make excellent fodder. ,Or the bundles may 'be taken directly to the barn, or an open shed, and stored in the same way. ,The air has free circulation through the luster stices of the bundles, and the moisture is carried off. Well cured corn fodder is nearly equal in value to_ hay, and the extra labor of making it into bundles pay. -;--,4m., Agriculturist, -TIMELY - HINTS ON THE USF, OF COAL.t —The practice of putting ashes ou tIW -top of a fire to keep it, is very produek, lire of clinkers, althoughlt answers tw, purposp - very well in other respectpi 'screenings are bolter, and may be economically burned in this manner, Ha coal fire gets very low, the quickest way to extinguish it is to rake it, at the bottom. Te preserve fire under such circumstances, a little coal should be placed on the fire, and when it has eauilit, more may be added and the ;raking deferred until it has got well; ignited. ‘Vben the fire bricks have become burdened with olinkers which have fused and adhered, they may be cleaned by throwing oyster or clam shells into the fire' box when the &els hot, and allowing the fire to go out.

' When my regiment was mustered out of service, bade adieu to my old comrades, and to the army, and opened an 'office in theflotirishing town of L—. As I was starting for the supper ta ble, on the evening of the third day af ter my arrival, the office bell rang'vi olently, and soon the boy came in and said that a man wanted to see the doc tor. The visitor was standing by the fire When entered: 'Be Was a tall, pow erful perfect giant compared to wy ' Alio foot six. ;' and his great bead and busby black bair=were well fitted to the aionstrouS form. If you are at liberty; doctor, please come with me. It is. bet a few steps, and you. will not need a carriage.' I put on my coat and hat and fol lowed him. It was my drat call in L-4-, and .1 fondly hoped it was the forerunner of many others. The man strode on a pace ahead of mead the time, notwithstanding my endeavors -to keep at his side, and he spoke ; no‘.v. , worti„not even answering my questions. . idtopping before it substantial looking residence on one of the • priucipai streets, he applied the. latch-key, and led me into a pleasant little room on elle second floor, Cit study, I thought It,) hung about with good paintings and elegant chromos, and lined with books of every name. `Take a seat, doctor; - I will step out a moment: Take this chair by the fire. It is a bitter cold night. The chair.was a; great utrwield thing, but exceedingly comfortable. I threw my feet upon the fender, and leaned back on the cushion, very well satisfied to :warm a little before seeing the pa tient. I heard the man approach the door, which was directly baelt of where lent, and heard the door open and close again. I supposed he had gone out, but, did not look around to see. Indeed, I had no time, for a stout cord vyas thrown over my wrists and across my breast; and a handkerchief bound over my mouth so quickly that I could make no move to prevent it. When. I was perfectly secure, my con ductor steppe in ftput of me and looked with much interest at my vain attempts to free myself, Good stout cord, isn't it?' he asked. hirs never been broken, and many a stouter man than you has tried it.-- There, now, be quiet a while and I will tell you what want.' He went to a cabinet that stood in the corner of the room, and taking a long, wicked-looking knife .from one of the drawers, ran his thumb over the edge, and felt of the point, all the while c„ thw 'nest common place manner iniagitiable. I have studied the art of guessing, for years,' said lie. ' I can, guess any thing ; that is my guessing chair that you are sitting in now ;• and 1 take great pleasure in imparting - JOT knowledge t;ci others. This is what I want of you tO• night. I did intend to make you guess that, but I have thought of something better.' He had hCCOMC satisfied with edge and point of his knife, and was pacin up and down the room, giving me ft full history of the world, interspersed with facts relative to the .art of guesF•ing, rat which dines he always stepped in front of me. ' Did you' ever study it, doctor? know you haven't. lum the only one that ever reduced it to a science. Since I left my noble veterans, I have devo ted my whole time to it; and now I am about to initiate you into its mys teries, if you are worthy.' lie was standing before me so very calin,'thatl did not think that be in tended to harm Me; but when I looked into his eyes, burning -with the Ore of insanity, I felt my situation was des• perute indeed. I must test you," he said. I must see whether you are ;naturally gifted or not, bolero I waste: much time with you, 'lf I remove the handkerchiel, will you answer my questions?' I nodded an aliirmative, anti be re moved it. 'Now, my dear doctor, you are an entire stlanger to use. Without doubt you have often heard of me, but it viii be a hard task to disciniulsh nem:. from all other great' men of the time.-- You way guess it, doctor. What is it? . he had brOught his face so near Ito mine Out I could feel his hot breath, and I fancied that I could feel the heat of those terrible eyes. The long keen blade he was holding , over me—for what? To take my life if I failed. guess l guess l' he bereurned. 'I t you fail, it will be your last guebs in'the world.' I dared not cry out; the knife was too near; I could not escape, for tho strong cords bound we to that chair could not lilt, and I could not lie there, and lose my life. What could I do? 'ltls a hard guess, and I will give you three minuts, to answer it,' he said. I summoned all my courage, which had never,yet failed me—even in the awful hour of battle--and looking him steadily in the eye, said: ' I know you, sir • so where is the use of guessing? I Kaye seen you om, the battle field marshalling your bostti to victory. I have seen you cut down a score of nidti with your own single arm. I have seen you put to flight a whole battallion. I know you—every body knows you. Your name is iri'my mouth.' I remembered what ho had said about leaving his veterans, and 'had tried this harangue to divert his atten tion. I paused to mark the effect. Yes !—yes, doctor .But what is it,' he screamed again. 'Thirty seconds!' Great God! What would I not have given for a clue to that madman's fan cy ! Thirty seconds, and how short a second is! The knife was raised high er, that it. might gain momentum by the distance. Ills body was braced for the stroke, and MS - eyes upon the Mark. ' Ten see . ohilks more I There was only one hope for me, and that was to guess. 1 felt that he con sidered himself some great man; as he had spoken of veterans, some great military chieftain. 1 thought of our own heroes and the names of many of them were upon my lips, but I dared not utter them. It was the greatest chance game that I had ever played.— Ay life depended on the guessing of a name, I thought of all the European generals, but cast them aside again and eanid back to our Own side,of the wa ter. ' t'two second's?' screamed the lunatic. Without a thought, almost without a volition, I spoke a name, breathing a prayer that it might be the right one: - Nop °lcon Bonaparte - 1' Right!' said the madman, throw ing aside Ids knife and undoing the cords that held me'. I was mistaken' in you, doctor. You have, true genins't this is your first lesson; come' zet this hour every evening and, I will teach you the beautiful art—the way to im mortal fame.' As I arose froth the chair, Weak and trembling, the door opened softly and four, strong men entered - and secured the maniac. I started for home well pleased that I had got through with - my first guessing lesson, and fervently hoping I should never he called, upon to take another. It is one of the oddest points of dif ference between man and woman that woman has no first love. The long al phabet of her affections is without any distinct end or beginning; she mounts _by insensible gradations from dolls and kittens and pet brothers, to the zenith of passion, to descend by the same in sensible gradation from - the zenith 2•6 f passion through pet brothers to tabby cats. There is no such event as a first kiss forms In a boy's life to mark for womitti the translation from girlhood to the sudden maturity of passion ; she has been kissing and purring and fv dling and petting from her cradle, aid shk will pet and fondle and purr and kill to her grave. Love, in the teclini-s cahsenso of the word, is with her litti:. more than an ilensifylng of her ordinary life. There is no new picture, but the colors are for the while a little height cued and the tone raised. Presently the, vividness of color will fade 'again, and the cool grays lower the tone, anti the: passion of life will have died away. Int there will be no definite movement at Which ono could fairly says that lOvn ea e or went. A girl who is not.whis pering in a lover's ear will always Pk. trankly enough that she never knev• what it was not to be in. love. There is one obvious deduction which she forgets to draw—that therd neve, can be a time when she can know what is to be in love. Hero and there, ol course, a woman may be colder, orlate: in development, or more self-conscious, and may divide.by.morerigidly marked lines the phases of her life. But even then, if she be a woman at all, she can have no first love. Feeling,, with wo man, has no past, as it' has no fdturts 4 . Every phase of her life begins with and act of oblivion.

George was a character considerably deaf especially when he did not want to hear. Itatlying him one day on his ability to hear or not to hear, he told me, under promise ofnever telling, the'following story: " When a young man, lie worked on a farm for a stingy old - farmer In an ad joining town. On leaving him a bpd mice of two dollars was due George for wages, Having called repeatedly for hie money, the old man had some ex cuse for not paying. —A sow of the old inan'ti had-a litter of pigs consisting of f o ,r ; one of them whick is generafly the case being a small runt, as they call them. George told the old man thathe would take a pig for the money ; the - old man said he might have the small one. George jurnped-into the pen and seized the largest! pig. The old - man shouted "Take the small one! -- • Let him 4 squeal," said George; "1 can liold ! ! Old man, excited : " Take the small one !" " I'll risk his biting," replied George. Old man, desperate, and as loud as he' ' could ."Take the small one:" "Let Win squeal; I can hold hini," answered George. " Take him along, you deaf Ms; I can't make you hear anything." George carried elf his pig In triumph. A regular reader who has lost his oat, requests the tinder to keep it for his honesty.
