AT IHE GARDEN GATE. Somebody came to the garden gate, While a soft hand trimmed the flowers; And a blackbird piped to his listening mate, In a language as rich as ours. Somebody blushed at the garden gate™ A blush it was fair to see; And the sly sun peered as he fain would wait, And the blackbird paused on the tree. Somebody spoke at the garden gate, As the shadows began to fall; And the rose looked up, thong-h the hour was late, And the peach blushed pink on the wall. A sweet head fell at the garden gate, On an arm that was strong and true; And a chirrup of lips was heard to state What words refused to dVr. REASONING DOVES. Hon. John C. Park, of Boston, tells the following in a note to the Christian Union: “A friend had given me six pairs of beau tiful Calcutta doves, all pure white. I was anxious to increase my flock, and placing them in a commodious dove-cote, with a row of pigeon holes about four feet from the floor, awaited the result. Soon two pairs deposited eggs, and hatched each two squads in nests about five holes apart v One afternoon I found that a little one had fallen out and was killed. The next morn ing in looking from my chamber window I observed doves carrying up in their beaks material for a new nest; but, seeeing the unusual size of the twigs selected. I went out to see how things progressed. To my astonishment I found' that the doves, which had their two squabs both safe in their nests, had erected, during the morning hours, a harrier of twigs about an inch and a half high along the front of their pigeon hole, thus guarding against the catastrophe which had happened to their neighbors. Was not this the result of a progress of ’ reasoning! Would all reasoning human beings be as wise ? ” HIN. 8 ABOUT WORK. Modern farming demands energetic work. We cannot pbxl along in the old beaten i track. We must have our wits about us; all o r faculties must be bright and active. We must work hard; but our work need not be for any great length of time of the back-breaking, muscle-straining order. This kind of work should not be left to those who cannot do anything better. A farmer should study himself. He should knew his own strength. He cannot do but a certain amount of work, and should be very careful not to waste his power. The coming farmer will require more sleep and bet'er food than some of the Old School philosophers recommended. He will use more coffee and less tobacco and whiskey. Energy is what a farmer needs. He must put more force, spirit, pluck and life into his work. He must be wide awake, and wake, up those who work for him. Ixx>k ahead. Let the work of to-day be well and promptly done; but at the same time, lay plans for to-morrow. Harvest the ci ops now on the ground, but make such preparations as will insure better crops next year. Winter wheat needs better culture. We must make the land better and richer, cleaner and mellower.—American Agricul turist. FASHIONS AND FOLLIES. In this enlightened “nineteenth century” fashions have assmedly become follies, and pride and petty vanities usurp the good, old-fashioned friendly sociability of by-gone days Pop calls of five minutes, and a stiff interchange of words or affected volu bility, have taken the place of social, happy evenings and quiet gatherings around the tea table, where conversation, pleasant, merry and unaffected, made the unceremo nious visit a delight. Neat, pretty and becoming dresses have been cast aside, and in their stead are costly robes, furbelowed and befrilled, containing twenty-five or more yards of material. Hair, hitherto ar ranged in smooth folds and classic bands, is now tortured and twisted into fiendish shapes, and mingled with all sorts of ar ticles; huge bustles deform figures that once looked graceful; and the tall, waving hats and bonnets, with gew-gaws and nod ding plumes, would startle the old grand mothers could they mingle with the crowds of to-day. There is p ide it home and abroad, and even in the house of God, where simple and appropriate apparel should surely be worn. But, alas, along the solemn and sacred aisles sweep long trained dresses of costly f .brica, jewels flash in the “ dim and holy light, ” and haughty faces and cold looks often frighten the poor away from the place wb re all should worship God in humility and love. We are not inditing this for the fair sex | alone, fur men have their vanities and ' follies, too, but we cannot refrain ftom I giving a word or two of wholesome advice i t.» the dear you g girls. Leave off ane or ' two of those flounces, deny yourself that ' expensive lace, buy fewer gloves, ribbons, t bon-bons and nonsense, and with the money ' saved, help some poor widow to pay her rents and buy wood for the winter; help suffering and distneacd Memphis and the | afflicted town* along Red river, and with a spare do'lar or so buy enough calico to i make a half dozen large aprons, don them for a time each day and go into the kitchen i to assist mother or the cook. Learn all you j can about boua keeping, about bcantyfying ■ and arranging rooms, and in all thing* strive to be true-hearted women. All girls ! cannot marry rich men—a few may; hut i the generality of *oraen will mate with f young men ol small salaries— men who ! need wives knowing something of industry and economy; and remember, girls, that the pa lit of woman is usually thorny, i Many hard trials are in f w the wife ami mother, ami every woman sho-’kl stu.ly to iuetcas? her usefulness, strengthen b<r I constitution, and cultivate assiduously every I rinciple that ii caJctdah A to make Iwunes I h »rr> HaHre, rtttren.

There is nothing of more importance to the youth of our country, than a sound practical education. Indeed it is a mat ter of first consideration, and In order that the foundation for an education may be laid in the shortest time and at the leastexpense it is necessary to have teach ers—those who, from experience, have shown an aptness for imparting instruc tion.
