But the New Yorker only smiled and laughed withal, telling us to give reasons for our answers.

We find the following humorous yarn in Col. McCrea’s Lost Amid the Fog: A New York gentleman at dinner on board a Cunard steamer laid a wager with the captain that he could not give him a correct an swer, within a minute, to the fol lowing question:—“A Yankee rushed into a bootmaker’s store, in Broadway. “ Here, look sharp l 1 cried he, ‘just off for California— ship sails in half an hour—want a pair of boots—look alive!’ Down tumbled the boots off tbe shelves; from which he was soon fitted. ‘IIow much?’ ‘Five dollars.’ ‘ Give me change for this fifty-dollar bill—sharp— quick.’ The boot maker, not having change, rushed to a money-changer. “ Quick, give me change for this fifty-dollar bill —passenger just of!’ to California !’ and in a few minutes away ran the Yankee with his boots and his change—off to California, of course. Id about an hour afterward the money changer came down to the bootmaker. ‘ Halloa! see,’ quoth he,’ ‘ this is n bad bill; pay me down fifty dollars at once; which the poor fellow, much disgusted, had to do. Now, how much did the bootmaker lose?” “ Come. Captain, answer, quick —no thinking about it. Eh, sir. How much did he lose?” “ Why, one hundred dollars, of course.” There was a shout of laughter round the table, and cries of “right,” “wrong," in all direct ions. •‘ Why, you forget,” cried one, “ that the boots were paid for.” “ What's that to do with it?’’ said another; “ didn't the Yankee carry them oft', and wasn’t the bill bad?’ “ Of course it was, said his neigh bor, “ the Captain’s right.” “ Bet you a sovereign he’swrong.” “Done; what do you say it is?” “Why, fifty dollars anti the boots. Am I right, sir?” But the New Yorker only laugh ed, and the chorus with him be came louder. The question spread from table to table right down, round the stern, and up the port side, •* What did the boot-maker lose?” until our ears were deafened with the answers and bets. At length it reached a great big Boston man, who had setup among us as a sort of oracle, for he wore long, straight black clothes of a clerical cut, and above his grey head and huge fiappiugears a mon strous shovel hat We had all taken him for a superannuated bishop, until his friends let out that he bad been at the head of a great insurance office all bis life, deep in all the mysteries of policy and pre mium ; so that verily it was thought assurance indeed, when a pert en sign said, “ Now, I’ll tell you what, old buck, bet you that you don’t tell right off—What did the boots maker lose ?’’, “ Sir,” said the big man with much gravity, “ I decline the bet, but I shall be happy to answer your question if you will put it.” So he was told, and then the pert ensign said again, “ Now tell us quick, old boy. What did the boot maker lose ?” “ What did he lose, sir? Why, he lost, of course, fifty dollara.on the one hand, which he returned to the money-changer, and i lie loriy-five which he gave the rogue—lie lost, sir, of course, ninety- five dollars and the boots.” But, alas for the bishop-looking brother, a ludicrous shout of derision from some one who had found it out greeted his reply, upon which he rose with a heavy frown and went on deck. Then again rose the ciy, “ What did the boot maker lose ?” from all parts of the table. “ Fifty- five dollars,” cried a venturesome guess. “ Forty-five,” cried another, Perhaps you may laugh, but, nevertheless, it is perfectly true; and this is how it happened. As you may be quite sure, being only nineteen, I was most tremens dously anxious to get my commiss sion, and when at last I was gazet ted to the 204th Foot, I did not give my tailor much rest till my uniform and the paraphernalia of my outfit were sent home. I dare say, to the old and sage, it is very ridiculous; but to me it was glorious, that first putting on of military garments. The bedroom door was locked: I was quite alone. There was a tall cheval glass by the bedside, and what was there to pre vent me from strutting about, as scarlet in the face almost as my tightly buttoned tunic ? It did not fit ine perfectly, I knew ; but hav ing it altered would necessitate its being taken away, and that idea was insupportable. So I kept my things just as they were, and in the hot stage of scarlet fever in which I then was, the fact of my regiment being ordered out to China did not give me much uneasiness; for even in a Chinese war there did not seem much cause for discomfort, since I believed that the Briti-h could chase tho barbarians by the thou sand. I will not trouble you with the account of our long journey out, and our lauding in the Celestial Empire. Let it suffice when I tell you that upon our arrival it was to find hostilities in full progress, and, boy as I was, I had to take my turn with the rest, smelt powder, heard the whiz of bullets, and saw my smart uniform soiled with mud and filth. shuttered, and presented the most were our enemies yelling and shout- blank of aspects, and though we ing in full pursuit.

Numerous invitations were extended to the leading citizens and their femilies to be present at the feast. In the evening the house of Mrs. York,-the bride’s mother, wa? thrown open, and about nineo’clock no less than two hundred ladies and gentlemen sat down to partake of the elegant repast which bad bteu prepared. The affair proceeded pleasantly tili shortly after ten o'clock, when some of the visitors were taken ill quite suddenly and had to be removed. Others were similarly affected in rapid succes sion, and presently the horrible suspicion flashed across the minds of all that they had been poisoned The bride and groom became ill, and were taken to thpir room. Every physician in the city was summoned, but as many of these were at tbe feast, they were also ill, and unable to even properly attend to themselves. The victims were removed to their homes, and groans and moaning were heard in almost every household. The pain and sickness are almost beyond descrip tion. Up to Saturday at noon 147 persons had undergone agonies worse almost than death, and a number of others were becoming ill. Dr. Greason, a physician, after having done all in his power to res 1ieve forty of the sufferers, was taken down himself. The effects were certainly those of poison. In many cases the suftereiswere afflict ed, with temporary paralysis, losing all power oyer their limb-. Almost all of them underwent a. relt from which some may never re cover. Various theories as to the cause of the poisoning are afloat. The most probable theory is that- the cause was the ice cream. The cream was secured by Mia. York, and given to a confectioner to freeze In performing the work the con fectioner had no idea, probably, that the refrigerator had not been properly cleaned, for he partook of the ice cream himself, and became sick.—Dubuque (Lo.)

There is a continual demand on the soil for those ingredients which are necessary to build up the vari ous crops which are raised in it, and unless a compensation, in the shape of manure, is made, the soil will become exhausted and inqx>v- erished, and unable to produce a crop of any kind. Everything cal culated to sustain tbe fertility of tbe soil should be collected and applied to it No inanurial liquid or solid should be allowed to go to waste. Muck and mar! and rotted turf, when piled for some time, and thoroughly mixed, furnish a com post which is very beneficial to the soil. Weeds rob the ground of the ingredients which are required for the crops; they should be'collected and added to the heap to be turned into manure. The best time for tqjjlpnjg.inanure of weecj$ is. before the plant? have blossomed, for then tbei$ is no danger of the seeds be coming ripe and mixing with the manure. Every shovelful of man ure that can be scraped together from the stables, byres, sbeepsbeds, hog pens, or any part of the barn yard, should be collected and put out for root crops. Every farmer should have a liquid manure tank in which all the inanurial liquids from the dwelling-house and barn yard should be collected and made available for saturating mack, moistening dry barnyard manure, or applying directly to grass or root crops.
