HOPSON & CO., Have received this day a choice variety of the Latest styles of LADIES’, MISSES’ AND CHkDREN’S SUITS. Stick to Your Bush- Mr. Morgan was rich, and also a good man. The people of the town respected him, sent him lo Congress anti seldom undertook anything without asking his advice. If school-house was to build, the plan had to be talked over with him Widow P asked him what she should plant in her field ; farmer S always got his advice in buy ing cattle, and Mrs. R con suiting bi n about bringing up her boys. W hen asked how he was so sue cesstul, Mr. Morgan said, I will tell you how it was. One day when I was a lad, a party of boys and girls were going to a pasture lo pick blackberries. I wanted to go with them, buL was afraid rny father would not let me.—When I told him what was going on, he at once gave me permission to go with them. I could hardly contain myself for joy, and rushed into the kitchen, got a big basket, and asked mother for a luncheon. I had the basket on my arm and wasjust going out of the gale, when my farther called me back. He look hold of my hand, and said, in a very gentle voice: ‘Joseph, what are you going for, to pick berries or to play?’ ‘To pick berries,’ I replied.—‘Then, Joseph, I want lo tell you one thing.’ It is this: When you find a pretty good bush, do not leave it for a belter one. The other boys and girls will run about, picking a liitie here and there, wasting a great deal of time and not getting many berries. If you do as they do, you will come home with your basket empty, if you want berries, stick to your bush.’ “I went with the party, and we had a capital tunc. But it wasjust as my father said. No sooner had one found a good bush than he call ed ah the rest, and they left their several places lo run off to the new found treasure. Not content more than a minute or two in one place, they rambled over the whole pas ture, got very tired, and at night had but few berries. My father’s words kept ringing in my ears, and I tuck to my bush.” When night came 1 had a large basket of nice berries, more than all the others put together, and was not halfso tired as they were. I went home happy. But when I entered the house, I found that my father had taken very ill. He looked at my basket full of ripe black-berries and said: “Weil done, Joseph, Was it not just as I told you? Always slick to your bush.’ He died a lew days after, and 1 had lo make my way in the world as best I could. But my father’s words sunk deep into my mind, and I have never forgotten the experience of the hlack-berry party; I stuck to my bush.—When I had a fair place, •ed was doing tolerably well, I did not leave it and spend weeks and months in trying to find one that was belter. When the other young men said: ‘Come with us, and we will make fortunes in a few weeks,’ I shook my head and stuck lo my bush. Presently my employers of fered to take me into business with them. 1 stayed with the old house until the principals died, and then I had everything 1 wanted. The habit of sticking to my business led people to trust me, and gave a char acter. I owe all I have and atn to thi3 motto: ‘Stick lo your bush.’ ” ALSO SWISS OVERSKIRTS, DRESSING CORSET COVERS, PIQUE ALSO A COMPLETE ASSORTMENT OF SKIRTS, WRAPPERS, Ladies 5 Undergarments.

Hard Times for Farmers.—A farmer in debt always will have hard times, such as those who own land and have a comfortable home, free from all encumbrance cannot fully compre hend. Mr. Beecher knows the cost of farming, perhaps, belter than its profits, says candidly: ‘ No blister draws sharper than interest does. Of all industries, none is comparable to that of inter est, which works all day and night in fair weather and foul. It has no sound in its footsteps but travels last, h gnaws at a man’s substance with invisible teeth. It hinds indus try with its film as a fly is bound in a spider’s web. Debt rolls a man over and over, binding him hand and toot and letting him hang upon the fatal mesh until the long-legged interest devours him. There is but one thing on a (arm like it, and that is the Canada thistle, which swarms new plants every lime you break its roots, whose blossoms are prolific and every flower the father of a mil lion seeds, every plant like a platoon of bayonets, and a field of them like an armed host. The whole plant is a torment and vegetable curse— and yet a farmer had belter make his bed of Canada thistle than at tempt to rest at ease upon inter est.” The woman that maketh a good pudding in silence is better than one that maketh a tart reply. Shad in the Hudson, The propagation of shad, says the Rochester Union, in the Hudson river lias been prosecuted under the Commissioners of Fisheries thi year with energy and success. The number of young shad brought forth and turned into the river mav be counted by millions. The season has now closed. The temperature of the water has risen abovet-ighiy. and put an end lo the halching operations. The place selecied for operations was Mull’s Fishery, some leu miles below Albany. To that place the agents employed with the requisite apparaius repaiied and en camped about the middle of May and remained till the 6th of July. Owing to the increase of shad by the work of former years, there was less difficulty in obtaining the parent fish for propagation. The. catching ol the shad and the manipulation is all done in the night—generally be tween the hours of nine and two. A arge proportion of the shad taken were unripe or unfit (or produc tion. Mr. A. Green, who has given his personal attention to the operations at Mull’s, reports that on the night of May 15, he caught forty shad, ol which only three were ripe, and from these be took 60,000 spawn. The temperatureo! the water ranged from 60°lo6S°. On the 20th he look seven ripe shad which produced 140,000 spawn. Oil several occasions over 300,000 spawn were taken in a single night. On the 5th of July, the water was above S0°, and no shad were taken. Above 210,000 young shud were turned loose, and this closed operations on the Hudson tor the season. The total of spawn taken was 8,335,000, from which 7,823, 000 shad were produced and turned into the river. Three years from this spring these shad will be large enough for market, at that time the catch in the Hudson will be so+arge that shad will be sold at very low figures. Enough has been done in the way ol shad culture on ihe Hud son in the past two seasons to make marked difference in the yield in j the two succeeding seasons. Th practical result- offish culture ma now be realized. The Girls.—Bics- the dear girls! love them all; (I could not help ii f I would;) I love the short. I love the tall; (I wouldn’t help it if 1 could.) I love the girls with sunny hair, with bright or laughing clear blue eyes, with skin transparent, white and tail, and cheeks that with the red rose vies. And then I love the dark brunette, with glossy curls like raven’s wing; with teeth like jet—I love to hear their laughter ring. Oh! yes, the dark bruneites will bring our hearts into our throats; they laugh at all our woes; but yet I say—bless all the petticoats. Oh! Woman, what would this world he without thy kind and gen tle sway? for all we have we owe to thee; how can we e’er thy love re pay? for don’t you sew our buttons on and darn our socks aad mend our clothes, and spend our stamps till they’re all gone, but can’t tell how the money goes. Oh! yes, 1 love all womankind; they’re gemle, loving, good, and true; some may not just suit my mind, but what is that to me or you? I love the darling, loving girls; love them as hard as e’er I can; that is a general way you know—for bless you—I’m a married man. Female Health.—Men prize more than the fair sex are always aware, the health-beaming countenance, the elastic step, and all these demon strations of domestic order in which unbroken activiiy delights. They love to see a woman equal to her own duties, and performing them with pleasure. They do not like to have the principal theme of domes tic conversation a detail of physical ills, or to he expected to question like a physician into the variety of symptoms which have supervened since their departure. Or it this may occasionally be done with good grace, where ill-health is supposed to be temporary, yet ihe saddening effecsofan enfeebled constitution cannot always be resisted by him who expected to find in a wife a “yoke fellow,” able to endure the rough roads and sharp ascents of life. A nature possessing great ca pacities of sympathy and tendering, may doubtless be softened by the exercise of those capacities. Still, the good gained is only from the patient, perhaps the Christian en durance, of a disappointment. But where those capacifies do riot exist, and where religious principles are absent, the perpetual influence of a sickly and mournful wife is a blight on those prospects which allure to matrimony’. Folly, moroseness, and lapses into vice may be traced to these causes which rob home in gloom. A Serf's Lore. Some years ago, a Russian noble man was traveling on special busi ness in the interior of Russia. It was the beginning of winter, but the frost had set in early. His carriage rolled up to an inn, and he demanded a re lay of horses to carry him on lo the nexi station, where he intended to spend the night. The inn-keejier entreated him not lo proceed, say ing there was danger in traveling so late—the wolves were out. But the nobleman concluded that the man wanted to keep him as a guest, re plied that it was too early, and or dered the horses to be pul to. He then drove off with his wife and on ly daughter, who were in the car riage with him. On the box was a serf who had been raised on the no bleman's estate, to whom he was much attached, and who loved his master as he loved his own life. They rolled over the hardened snow, and there seemed no sign of danger. The moon shed her pale light, and brought into burnished silver the road which they were traveling. At length the little girl said to her fa ther : “What was that strange noise that l just heard ?” “Oh, nothing but the wind sighing through the forest trees,” replied the father. The child shut her eyes and was quiet. But soon she said again— “Listen, father, it is not like wind, I think.” The father listened, and far, far away, through the clear, cold, frosty air, he heard a noise which he knew too well the meaning of. He then put down the window and spoke to the servant: “The wolves, 1 fear, are after us; make haste. Tell the man to drive faster, and gel our pis tols ready.” The postillion drove l ister. Bu the same mournful sound which the child had heard approach ed nearer and nearer. It was quite clear that a pack of wolves had scented them out. The nobleman tried lo calm the anxious fears of his wife and child. At last the baying of the pack was distinctly heard. .So he said to his servant — “When they come up with us, do you single out one, and fire, and I nil! single out another; and while ihe rest are ievouring therr, we shall get on.” As soon as he had pulled down the window, he saw the puck «n full cry K hind, the large wolf at their head. Two shots were fired, and two of the wolves fell. The others immediately set upon them and de- \oured th^m; and meanwhile the carriage gained ground. But the taste ot blood made them more tu- rious, and they were soon up with the carriage again. Again two shots were fired, and two more fell and were devoured. But the carriage was speedily overtaken, and the post house was yet far distant. The nobleman then ordered the postilion to loose one of his leaders, that they might gain a little time. This was done, and the poor horse plunged frantically into the forest and the wolves afler him, and was torn to pieces. Then another horse was sent off to share the same fate. The carriage labored on as fast as possi ble with the remaining horses, hut the post-house was.still in the dis tance. At length the servant said to his master, “I have served you ever since I was a child; I love you as well as my own self. Nothing now can save you but one thing. Let me save you. I ask you only to look after my wife and little ones.” The nobleman remonstrated, but in vain. When the wolves next came up, he threw himself between them and the carriage. The pant ing horses galloped on with the ve hicle, and the gates of the post-house just closed in upon it, as the fearful pack were on the point of making the last attack. But the travelers were safe. Next morning they went out and saw the place where the faithful servant had been pulled down by the wolves. His bones were only there. And on the spot the noble- ' man erected a wooden pillar on which is—- “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his file for his friend, but God commendeth His love for us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” A widower was recently rejected by a damsel who didn’t want af fections that had been “warmed- over.” Whether old age is to be respec ted depends very much whether it applies to men and women or poul try. Never owe any man more than you are able to pay, and allow no man to owe you more than you are able to lose. The happiest age for young wo men—marriage; at least, so they think.
