Yankee tales and not a little ludicrous : "Tho other day a gentleman called on a friend of ours, who lites on the outskirts of the village, on :1 little mattu‘ of business. As the visitor (Mr. S ) left, the gentleman of the house (Mr. E.) also came out to go down town, and find- ing s horse and buggy at his gate, in- quired of his visitor, ‘Arc you going down town '1” ‘Yes,’ was the reply.â€" On the memory how it lingers, Like the touch of fniry fingers ; Like the sound of joyful singing, When thE‘Obristmna bells no ringingt-a Good-ni {ht !

Both jumped in, and ‘ Mr. E., handing the lines to the suppos~ ed owner, received in reply, ‘No, you drive.’ They drove down town, and when at a certain corner, Mr. S. said, ‘I get out here.’ ‘Very Well,’ said Mr. 15., and jumping out was about to leave, when Mr. S. said, with surprise, ‘Do you leave your horse in the street with- out tying, like this 1’ ‘Do you leave your horse without tying?’ asked Mr. E. in reply. ‘My horse?‘ ‘I thought it was yours.’ ‘And Iâ€"Iâ€"supposed l was driving your horse,‘ said the astonish- ed Mr. E.

Smith, the auctioneer, is a popular man, a wit, and a gentleman. No person is offended at what he says and many a ' hearty laugh has been provoked by his sayings. He was recently engaged in the sale of venerable household furniture and fixings. He had just got to “going, going, and a half, going,” when he saw a smiling countenance, on agricultural shoulders, wink at him. A wink is as good as a nod to a blind horse or a sharp sighted auctioneer, so Smith winked,and the man winked and Smith kept “going, going,” with a lot of stove pipes, glass- ware, carpets, pots and perfumery, and finally this lot was knocked down. “To whom ?” said Smith, gazing at the smil- ing stranger. "Who ? Golly !” said the stranger, “I don’t know who.” “Why, you sir.” “Who, me ?” “Yes; you i bid on the lot,” said Smith. “Me ? hang me if I did!” insisted the stranger.â€" “Why, did you not wink and keep wink- ’ ing ?” asked Smith. “\Vinking? well I did, and so did you at- me. Ithought you was winking as much as to say, ‘keep dark; I’ll stick somebody on this lot of stufl',’ and I winked as much as to say, ‘I’ll be hanged if you don’t mister.’ ”â€"Dayton Herald. Don’t Wink at an Auctioneer. The farmer who devotes all of his land to two or three leading crops, will certainly make money when the seasons are propitious, and the demand is active for the products. But it often happens that one or more of these conditions are lacking, and then the labor and means upended , during the year are measur. ably lostâ€"or, negatively stated, the pro-’ fit is not .sufiieient to compensate the outlay. - By the system of mixed hus- bandry the farmer may' not, it is true, be able to derive immense profits from single craps, but it seldom happens that all of the crops will fail, and the profits accruing from the ’difi'erent sales will not repay thisâ€"especially when it is considered that if he has additional labor, he is safe from the weight of care and a sxiety that oppress those hopes that are , all dependent on the success oftheir wheat or corn, or other single crops.

I hope when the milleninm dawns, dish washing will he struck out of the catalogue of the day’s doings. It is a vexation men know nothing about. They enjoy their dinners, loll hat-11in their chairs, and feel goodnatnred and thank- ful, and perhaps enthusiastic. If they had visions of the dish-pan before their eyes meantime, it would detract largely from their enjoyment of eating. It will :he I day of joy to all womankind when ‘ selenee Shall'hav‘e discovered such simple ‘ and cheap comhinations for tahle “china“ that we will not have to mind about washing dishes. The process will he very simple. Take up the four corners of the table cloth and give the whole a fling into the hack yard! Then we can enjoy an “hour’s nooning” without grief or hurry. But so long as dish washing is one of l the ills to which woman flesh is heir, it ' is the wisest philosophy to make the best ‘ of it and do it in the best way. In the ' manner of clearing away the table, dis posing of what is left, and in gathering together the various articles of use there is much to be learned by many who do such work. Some women, of girls, gather up the knives and forks and spoons together, when spoons and all isilver articles should form a seperate division. The pieces of butter left on the plates should be put by themselves on a small, clean plate, to be used in cooking, or, if not massed, they may be molded into shape for the table again. The butter-dish presents a more tidy and inviting appearance it washed after every meal. A daubed butter-plate is any- thing bnt wholesome-looking. The same; rule holds good with regard to Vegetable and meat dishes. A practice that pre- rails with some housekeepers of warm- ing over meats and vegetables in the same dishes in which they are served at table, is in very bad taste. Let the dishes that come to the table be fresh and clean, and not burnt and cracked and soaked with vegetable or meat juices. Here :1 core for the table cloth in; picking up the cutlery. Do not lay knives, forks or spoons on it. If grease has fallen on it, carefully remove it with a knife. Ladies who tulle special care of their table linen, remote the crumbs carefully with a crumb knife, which is a bread bladed knife with a dull edge, and then mind the folding of the cloth, observing the former folds; Dish water should always he soft, plentiful and well heated. Making exception for special cases, a woman who will keep house without a well regu- lated cistern, or supply of soft water, deserves all the inconvenience and un- cleanliness that comes from a lack of it. For I aver that soft water is requisite to cleanliness. Next to the dish water, in importance, are drying towels and wash cloth, which oughtto be of linen, and always kept sweet and clean. This 1 can only be affected by frequent wash- 1 ing and boiling, and thorough drying. Soap is always necessary in washing dishes, as well as rinsing water for the china. Very hot water should never be poured over dishes, especially those. with enameled. surfaces; as it cracks them. Dishes so washed, in warm suds, well rinsed and wiped with a clean, dry towel, have a glossy look, are free from grimy streaks and patches of moisture, and are a delight to use. In washing cutlery do not throw knives and forks inthe water, handles and all, if you wish to‘preserve the beauty, as well as adhesiveneas, of the handles. A receptacle for cutlery and spoons is a decided convenience. Bislrets with handles and compartments lined with flannel for silverware are sold at the sheps. But a square box, with a par-J tition put through the middle, and each 3 compartment lined with flannel, does? nicely for the silver in use in most families, and can be made without cost. In cleaning np'the dishes, etc., do not overlook the caster; keep it free from ivcrdigris; keep the bottles clean and bright. Do not allow the mustard cruet to beg for charity. In selecting a-mus- tard cruet choose a small shallow one, and prepare but a little at a time. A musty mustard jar is first-cousin to dirty-looking salt in a-dirty saltcellar. Cleaning “pots and kettles” 'is an. other high kitchen artthat is a branch of dish washing, and the same rule for the one holds good for the other. Pots and kettles. demand a shelf or table for their special accommodation, for the preservation of their own’ purity and that of the calico that peramhnlates in their neighborhood. Tnelting them away behind doors on the floor, under shelves or. benches, leaving themâ€"about the stove, or having no particular, proper place fir them, is indicative of aloven- ,lineee and had management. ' l for shrine timo'to cone.” Washing Dishes. The legend of the Cherokee rose, says an exchange, is as pretty as the flower itself. An Indian chief of the Sew. inole tribe, taken prisoner of war by his enemies, the Cherokees, and doomed to torture, fell so eerlouflly lll that it became necessary to wait for his renter-3 ation to health before commiting him to: ‘rthe fire. And as he lay prostrated by disease In the cabin of the Cherokee warrior, the daughter of the latter, a young dark-faced maid, was the nurse. She fell in love with the young chief- tain, and wishing to save his life, urged him to escape ; but he would not do so unless she would flee with him. She consented. Yet before they had gone far, impelled by soft regret M leaving home, she asked leave of her lover to return for the purpose of hear- ing away some memento of it. So, retracing her foosteps, she broke a sprig‘ of the white rose which was climbing up the. poles of her father’s tent and preserving it during her flight through the wilderness, planted it by the door of her new home among the Seminoles. And from that day this beautiful flower has always been known, between the capes of Florida and throughout the Smthern States, by the name of the Cherokee Rose. ‘ A correspondent of the NewEngland 1 Farmer, who has been engaged in . collecting birds and eggs for twenty-five 1 years and has made the habits of crows a study, writes that journal :â€"“ I know ‘ that they destroy some insects in the spring, but mostly water insects that do no damage, but many of which prey on other species thdt are injurious. But I do also know that crows live almost entirely on the eggs and the young of smaller birds, from the middle of May : to the first of August, and that they I feed their young on the Same, and 'searcely anything else. I have no doubt ~that a nest of four young crowsâ€"there are sometimes five-é-will eat two quarts of young birds or eggs in one day. ‘ That they distroy two-thirds of all the eggs and young of small birds I know ‘to be a fact, in some sections. Of some species I have known them to destroy ,four nests out of five, and that before ltlie young were a week old. “Now i think that. one small bird will destroy more noxious insects in one season than fifty crows And this is not all. They often spoil large fields of corn when too late in the season to re. plant. If every crow, jay, hawk and owl could be fed to insects, I thinl: it Would he a blessing to the farmer and to the small birds, and I hope no law will be passed to protect crows or jays, for I see them daily hunting for the heats of small birds.” To relieve the terrible effects of run- ning a nail in the foot of man or horse take peach leaves, bruise them, apply to the wound, and confine with a band- age. They cure as if by magic. Renew the application twice a day if necessary but one application usually does the work. ' A minister in New England, re- ceiving a salary of 8409 a year, wears an overcoat. made from a cloak he wore in 1834. His wife has one cloak only, and it is thirty-fin) yeaao old.

That. grain should be r sown earlier than it Welly“; that it should be harvested ea‘lie‘r than it is done; that grass should be cut-when in blossom, and never when ripe, unless for seed That our soil is not sufficiently worked, especially in hood crops; that stirring the soul and keeping it we}! pulverized, is a partial guard w drouth.
