THE UEOISTEU. J CONYRRS.GA., TIIL’KSDAXI* ED 8, lh/7 - -i ■ - ■ ■■ ' 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 eye like remains otau ancient city t Be cause he exhibibits the mins of Poxipcy eye. 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 about to put up at an inn ? Because he is inn disposed. > ■ —■■ ■" ■ Josh Billings says: ‘When a young man ain’t good for anything else, I like tew see him carry a gold-headed cane. If he can't buy a cane, let h’m part his hair in the middle. Politeness to a man is what beauty f and modesty is to a woman. A coquette is a rose lVoiu whojn every lover plucks a leaT; the thorn remains jor the future husband. Anthem ol the Louisiana Returning Board : ■\\ bile the lamp holds out to burn, The vilofit sinner mny tetum. When alone, we should watch our thoughts ; In our families, out tempera ; ] and in society, our tongues. ‘Dar now,’ said tlio negro preacher as the deacon left the meeting in a pet. ‘l)ar now, dat'd just what do Bible says, ope wicked inn when nobody’s after him.” An Irishman who had blistered his fingers in trying to put on a | air of new bools, cxcHmcd aloud : “1 believe I shall never get them on until I wear cm a day or two.’ Why is a man going bo- hanged like the Now Haven rail road? Because he looods to providence for suppoit. (,) r VAN OX CAIt ns 15 stylus with name lOctg /wO postpaid. J. It. Hustod, Nuusua ltc-ns Cos.
