The Power of Poesy.
Sweet William went to see his “own true love,”
About a week or two ago,
And took with him a book of Tuppev’i poems,
To while away an hour or bo.
Sweet William read poem after poem to her—
So much he loved the gentle hard—
Until the maiden very drowsy grew,
And twice did yawn white off her guard.
At last, in deep distress, she said: ‘‘l know
A sweeter poem than those, n>y dear !
And then Sweet William asked her what it was,
••Recite it, love, and let me hear 1 ’
“’Tis one 1 learned when vory young,” she said;
"Pathetic, too. yet do not woep;
T'Jl only aay the opening line, my dear ;
’Tis now 1 lay me down to sleep.”
(Confusion of Sweet William.)

Points in Corn Culture
A corn grower in the corn Slaton of
Ilinoia makes the following points :
1. In the fall and winter the giound
slionld be plowed from eight to ten
inches deep, but in the spring from tour
to six leches is deep enough. It docs
not pay to go down in scroll of anew
form at that time of the year.
2 It does not pay to plow corn stalks
under in the spring, unless the land i g
wet or liable to b: kc.
3. Corn drilled one stalk in a hill, does
not grow so strong at first, and is harder
to keep clean than if planted two or
more together.
4. Corn cheeked and plowed both
ways is injured more by storm than if
drilled.
5. Two stalks every two feet has prov
ed the best with me.
6, Corn (tint is well harrowed and
then plowed twice will be cleaner and
grow better than if plowed three times
without being harrowed.
A clean glove often hides a dirty
band.
A contented mind is a continued
least.
A faithful friend is a strong de
fence.
Bear your misfortunes with forti
tude,
Be just, but trust not every one.
Betray no trust; divulge no secret.
Better to be alone than in bad campa
vy, .
Ccnnnand your temper lest it will
command you.
Command nothing so much as strict
virture.
Complacency is more persuasive than
anger.
Comply cheerfully where necessity
enjoins.
Study to be usetpl rather than divert
ling.
Such as the tree is, such will be the
fruit.
Take lieed will surely speed.
That is geld which is worth gold.
Undertake no more than you can per
form.
Uukmd expression wound sensitive
ni'nds.
Uuso time as though you knew its
value.
Use with religious awe God’s sacred
name.
Who is bad to his own is bad to him-,
self,
Youth is the season for improve
ment.
Zeno, of all virtnres, inado his choice
of silence.
A passionate and revengeful temper
renders a man unfit tor advice, deprives
him of his reason, and robs him of all
that is great and noble in his nature.
A Marina woman is so cleanly that
she uses two rolling pins, one for the pio
crust and the other for her husband's
head.
A clergyman in Northern Indiana as
cended the pulpit the other Sunday and
said ; ‘No mau can serve tho Lord while
he i has the jumping toothache. 1
therefore disstuiss the congregation.'
A Philadelphia shoe merchant wrote
to his wife that he had beoomc a convert
to cremation, and she said: Go ahead;
have your ashes returned C. O. D.
Why is a negro with an extinguished

Why are murders frequent ? Because
people are permitted to slay sleigh) with
impunity.
Why is the love of a mother for her
child like the smooth surface of the sea ?
Because it U un-wave-ring.
Why should we pity a traveller when

Josh Billings says: ‘When a young

An Irishman who had blistered his
