Initiating an outsider~A Know Nothing
Yarn.. ■—
BY JACK HUMtIIICIES.
All creation ;ui<i the balance of mankind, were,
earlv one morning; aroused from the dullness
usually pervading the pious, prim, and peaceful
town of East Nutmeg, by the cry of—
“ What’s it all about 1” “When did they!
come ?” “llow inativ tire they 3” “ W hat do
they look like ■* “ 1 ‘id yon see ’em ’ Are
they human critters 3” “\\ hat are they going
to do ?”
“ Who?” “ What 1”
“ The Know-Nothings I”
“ Know-Nothings 3” says a native.
“ Know-Nothings.”
“ Well, I’d give a fo’p'mec to know,” cotitin j
ued the native, •* what in sin it’s ail about I”
“O, you hav’nt seen ’em, eh 3” says a jolly; 1
round visaged, bright-eyed individual, who with j
other strangers and natives ot East Nptmeg, were !
gathered ill a knot about the depot, discussing
the topic which had in a single night, came,
saw, and took the town. “ Ilav’nt seen ’em 3’
“ Seen who ?” says the native.
“The Know-Nothings”
“ jfmwg-Wuthin'a 1 -Well, I kinder cal’late I
have,Afew.” j ■’
“ 0,-you arc one of ’em, eh.”
“ Look a here, squire, if you don’t want to be
squattin’ cross-legged in yon heap o’ sand, I 1
cal’late yeou’d better not say tny edecalioii lias j
been neglected in any sicli a way.”
“ Not at nil, my dear friend ; I only predicted ‘
that you were a—that is, hang it—l mean do
you kuow what’s out ?”
“ Yees; I’ll tell vcou whai’s out, squire.”
“Good; wlmt is it 3”
“ A writ agin Josh Prtuien for braken’ the
Sabbath all tew flinders, play in keards in Dea
con Dinkle’s barn.”
“ Pshaw, !” said the jolly man, “ I don’t mean
that sort of work. I suppose you are like the rest
of these Know-Nothings, too sly, eh !—to be
caught P
“Squire, do you chaw ?”
“Yes,” said the jolly looking man.
“ Hand us out veour tobacco, then.”
_ ** Yes I don't chaw.”
“ Git eout! gettin kinder sharp-set too I cal’-
late. Now look a here, squire, I giu tew expect
you at e from York.”
“ I ‘spect you are correct in your remarks.”
“ Wall, I knew yeon was; can tell yeou fel

“Ah, that’s what I was comin at. Now they j

something that’s bound to get Christendom into
an uproar; how is it?”
“Eh, yes ; when they goin to begin it, squire?”
“0, you gat out, sly dog, ain’t you one of

“ What! them fellows that’s goin to raise sin,
and break things!”
“I don’t know; I only ask you” — continued
Um squire, “ I only ask for information, you see.”
“ Wall, naow, look a here, a feller never made
much by dod-rotted ignorance in this land of
universal liberty and gincral edication; and a
feller hates to come right daown and confess he
don’t know nothing, that’s a fact; but squire,

“Well, sir; now you just follow me over to

now 111 give you the secret. You see this is a I

“ P!h, yes.”
“And the greatest secrecy is to be adhered

j “ Yeou don’t say so!”
! “Yes, sir; now we have some mysterious |

will he a crowd near the depot, about dark ;
when the crowd moves you follow ; they will
take you to the secret chamber where you will

“ Eh, yes;” and Nutmeg left.
He had just got into the street when a verita
ble sign met his eyes. A< long-legged, double
fisted fellow, with but one eve in his head, stood
gaping around with his hands in his breeches; up
goes Nutmeg shuts his eye, and pokes his thumb
between his molars. The man with the closed
eye, looked daggers with the other, and by the
twitching of his lips seemed to be speaking, or
doing something like it, inwardly.
“ Nix a wool in cully,” said Nutmeg, advanc
! ing.
j “ What in yaller thunder d’yo mean 3 say !”
’ says the one-eyed man.
“ Nit Sh—stag his nibs, cully, how’s nibs?”
j continued Nutmeg, advancing, and placing liis
! finger upon his long, sharp nose, and grabbing
at the stranger, who, mistrusting the move meant
no good, draws off, and puts in such a “soult
paw,” that Nutmeg doubled up and went down
all iu a heap— cobijf !
“ Goll darn you, aint you one of ’em 3 Why
didn’t you say so?” bawls Nutmeg, travelling
into the hotel to find the professor of Know-
Nothingness and settle his hash ! But Profes
sor Pete Morris had suddenly left for parts un
known ! Nutmeg has been looking for Pete
for'some time. — Boston Yankee Privateer.
Vanitt of Life. —The following, from a late
speech of Mr. Benton, is a touching exhibition of
the vanity of political ambition.
“I have gone through a contest for which I had
no heart, and into which I was forced by a combi
nation against life and honor, and from which I
gladly escape. What is ase at in Congress to

FARMER'S DEPARTMENT.
Work for July.
Our advice for crop-making is once more
drawing rapidly toa close. We are now depend
cut upon a kind providence for the consummation ’
of a work soon to pass‘from our hands. But it
will be found that the reward will Ik* most like- ‘
lv to fall out in the largest measure, to those]
who have most faithfully acted their part in !
proper culture.
.It is a wicked presumption in man to cast’
the blame for his failures, on God, when he has
failed to do his part, for though we know, that
if is in vain that we lise up earlv, or sit up late
in the prosecution of our schemes, unless the
blessings of God lie our labors; yet wo
know full well, that iiiifeb which is charged up
on adverse seasons, should be put down for noth
ing more or I- ss, than hud work or neglected
opportunities. Blit all our moralizing* upon tbn’
I past.,, cannot cure it* errors now, and wo there-!
] fore turn to the future. There yet remains Some j
’ thing fiUTm "doiieTii ttitTT’oti omrrup: • The work-:
is now mostly light. All remaining bunches of ■
■ grass in tlie drill, must In: removed by the hoe, j
and the middles oftiie row should be kept soft and
clean by repeated shallow plowing*. \Ve think the
work in cotton ought to be continued late, not }
- alone for t lie neatness of tin- thing itself, or for the ;
i benefits of the picking season, hut for the in- 1
i creased yield of the crop. Our observation has I
all ten-led to establish the conclusion, that late
-continued working of cotton does materially
■ a-Id to its production, This we think may be
properly continued as long as the plow can bo
i passed through the rows, or until the cotton is
i nearly ready to commence opening.
I Fodder pulling willcoiite off in forward corn j
; before i.ur next is-ue, and xve lberefore*offer a few
] thoughts o:i that subjeet. Our first is, to cau-|
! ti-iii against the stripping of the blades before
i the corn in tho ear is promptly matured. Much
] danger may result from an effort to make the sod
! der crop a primary object therefore let the
• grain of the corn be well shrunken In-foro be
: ginning to ]ull off.the bla-hw. It is better to
! sacrifice a portion of the fodder than to create
! a l<ws in .the weight nf-tho corn, worth more
; than all the fcKldcr after it is saver]. Any de l
] ticicncy in this department mav he easily made
! up by a few day’s work in saving the hay from
j the erab or crowfoot grass in your fields. To
make good fodder, it is iudispcnsitite that it is
’ never wet by raiii, and we therefore advise that
| it lie bundled ami stacked after a half a day’s
‘sunning rather than submit to a wetting. When
! put up with so little time for etirring, it must bo
thrown open for an airing ns it become* hot in
the stack after which it may be put up with per
fect safety, and • guarantee of better nod more
acceptable food than could be had by a longer ex
posure to the sun, if it had been caught in tbe
rain. When the weather will permit, it ought
to be cured before stacking, or packing in bulk.
If the fodder is in good condition let it be put
up in targe double or tribble stack*, aa it will
he much better secured from loss by exposure to
] the weather.
Saving llay.—As we have suggested a con
i version of a portion of the crab grass into hay,
! we will now give some directions on that sub
j ject. The proper time for mowing is, when the
; grass is in bloom. Most of the failures to make
sweet rich liny, hits resulted from the postpone
ment of this work, uutil the grass is too old, and
from too much exposure to the sun. Boon after
it i* well wilted, let it be raked into small heap
or cocks, au<l when it is a little more cured and
dried, increase the size of the rick, and when the
process of curiug is complete, let it be removed
to the barn, or be put into large stacks. We are
very much inclined to think when well tried, the
advantages will befonnd to be in favor of the
hay making, on the score of economy, as well
as in the better character of tbe provender. If
the horse could make out hie bill of complainte,
we imagine that lid would charge to tbe use of
bad fodder, many “of the complaints'peculiar to
this noble animal. Wwahdve little doubt, that
many of the eonghs and wheezes so frequent,
among our boMSare superinduced by the dry
fodder which they eat, and
featMedWHßtoX-t might be avoided, by the nee
of well toved hay.—Soil of the South.
