THE K \TY-DID.
Ttw other dsy 1 pns«ed slonjr,
Bcnctilh the fti*an>»o<>d shade,
And listened to the merry song
01 turd* in dell and p’sde—
Hut while I roved thus pleasantly,
Where inclination bid,
A little warbler qnirk flew by,
And twittered Katy-did.
Did what! I asked with sudden s ar*,
Of romance quickly rid,
Hbe surely did not take my heart f
It atill sang, Katy did.
1 look’d within, Whore I had thought
That it was safely hid—
The bird looked roo, but seeing naught.
Sung loader, Kuty-did.
Aghast I stood—it still kept on,
And wiuked its saucy lid ;
And then, as if to mock my pain,
Bunt out with Katy-did.
•• You naughty tell tale," said a voice,
The bushes de p airid ;
The bird flew < fT, but os it pissed,
Cried out that Katy did.
1 ran up to the spot, sad lo I
The blushing thief was hid—
Give me my heart, I cried, and show
Why thus sly Katy did.
She slowly raised her downcast eye,
" I’rsy, take ray own instead
The witch my heart did Uke, and I
Rejoice that Katy-did.
LOST AT SEA.
Not even a slost to mark his grave I
Down in the fathomlesa deep he lies;
Above him toss the restless wave,
And columns of sorgo to his memory rise j
Unknown lo all, yet h.s aleep is as aouud
As if he were buried in holy ground.
So marble scroll ol Ida tume to tell—
His name that was—but recks he now ?
It move* him nut; ’lit* over, aud well;
There is tumult above, bul there’s peace below.
No souad comes there its peso.* to break—
Can he ever wake, can he ever wake f
He waa lulled to rest ’mid the tempest's roar,
His death couch under the eurt of the fum ,
Tho billows his dirge chant evermore—
A dirge of death, yet s welcome home;
The sea his sepulchre, let him sleep
At reel 'mid the throes of the restless deep.
And many a merry bark mar go.
And birds glide merrily over the spi t.
Nor less will the flih-twarm dance bolow-

CAPITAL GHtiST STORY.
DEDICATED IN AN ESPECIAL MANNER TO
ALL NEWBFAFRIl HEADERS.
That apparitions do not always wan
der without sufficient cause, is proved by
tho well attested fact which wo give be
low :
hast Tuesday fortnight, as Mrs. ,
a lady of rather literary taste and studi
ous habit, silt reading in llio drawing
room; the clock on the mantle struck
twelve; as the last stroke revet berated
through the apartments, tho door was
thing w ide open ! In tho act of raising
hot head to repel tho intrusion (tinning
for) of her servant, her eve roB’edon tho
form of her late husband ! She scream
ed und fell senseless on the carpet. This
brought up such members of the family
ns had not retired to rest; restoratives
were administered, and when Mrs.
had regained her suspended faculties,
and being a woman of strong mind nnd
highly cultivated in'ellect, she felt dis
posed to consider tho whole distress she
laid undergone us the result of certain
associations between the inelancholly
tale she had been perusing nnd her late
loss, operating on a partly deranged ner
vous system. Bite, however, considered
it advisable .that Iter maid servant should
repost! iu her chamber, lost any return
of what kIio considered a nervous affec
tion should distress herself und alarm
tho family. Last Tuesday night, feeling
stronger nnd in hotter spirits than sho
had been for several months passed,
Mrs. dispens’d with tho presence
of her attendant, retiring ttlono to her
chumber, went to bed a little beforo ten
o’clock. Exactly as the clock struck
twelve Bho was awakened from her
sleep, and distinctly behold tlio appari
tion hbe had before soon, advancing from
tho table, on which stood her night lamp,
till it stood opposite to und drew aside
tho curtains of her bod. (She describes
her very blood retreating with icy dull
ness to her heart from every vein. The
countenance of her beloved in life wore
not its benevolent Aspect; the eyes once
beaming with affection, wore now filled
with stern regard on the trembling, hall

of desperation, thus adjured him,—

THE TOOMBS OF BYRON AND NAPOLEON.
Hymn's Tomb.—Mr. Doran writes to
an English paper to describe the lament
able condition of Hud;nail Tpskard
Church', in whiqh lie buried the bodies of
Lord *Hyron, bis mother, nnd “Ada, solo
daughter of my hnuso and heart.” The
church was used by Cromwell's troop
ers ns a stable, but no farmer with any
regard for Ills horses would think of
placing them there now. Should a show
er of rain come on during thn service, a
portion of tho scanty congregation has
to niigrnto from one part of the oliureji
to nnotbor. Mr. Doran asks if English
men will not restore tho resting pluco of
their groat poet from nuch sharmlful nog-
loot. If they will not ho propones to ap
peal to tho Greeks—rat!iop a hopeless
Idea, wo fear, though IJyron did diu iu
their behalf at Missolonght.

AVERY HARD CAFE.
1 had been soirto months in America,
poet promised fmuh joy and a happiness
to the newly married couple. About]
•von o’clock tlio company dispersed,
aving the gentle “sir” hud his fair lady
[to the blissful enjoyment of retirement.
About three o’clock the slumberers were
aroused by the barking of dogs, and tho
sound of horses feet were distinctly
heard in tho distance. On approaching
nearer tho house, it was discovered that
two brothers and a relative had come on
some mission. They demanded tho im
mediate delivornneo of tho young man
and liisbrido: tho landlord expostula

TRUK LOVE INDEPENDENT OF Pl.ItSONAL
BEAUTY.
Should not n defijrmod woman, jvho
appears graceful ip her husband's eyes;
a lame one, whoso defect a man would
u t wish remedied, or an elderly one, who
still seems young to tho fond gaze of
love, bo reckoned tho happiest of tlio lo-
male sexV Can human pasjjon go bu-
y«und ibis? It is ti woman’s great glo
ry to pftBsess such nn influence over a
lover, that he nhould'ndnro her for that
which the world generally looks upon ns
a blemish. To forget that the Inmo can
not walk straight, may proceed from tho
fascination of the moment; but to lovo
her becauso she limps, is like deifying
her for her defect. Perhaps tlio follow
ing benutitudo mny be justly inscribed
in the gospel of women—“Ulessod nro
the imperfect for the kingdom uf love is
tlioir heritage.”
And righdy considered, llio perfection
of bounty is rather a misfortune than
:>tliorwiuo, for a woman. Its trnnelent
bloom enters too much into the substance
of the passion she inspires, and she is
loved much fur it in tlio snino way as a
rich heiress iH loved for hermonoy. Hut
that lovo which is excited by a female
disinherited of these fleeting graces
which the children of Adam run after,
is tho real nnd true lovo, mysterious nnd
unknown to tho world, an ardent inter
change of soul und sentiment, w hose
day of disenchantment never comes.—
Such a creature possesses graces inde
pendent of, and uncontrolled by tho cn-
prieecs of society. Tho flower of her
beauty is always in season; nnd tho ex
quisite pleasure of making Iter imporfoo-
tiona fcrgQitcii m ioo intense not to in
spire her with nn unconquerable desire
of pleasing. Tlio most memorable lovo
stories in histoiv recount tlio devoted at
tachments inspired by* women whom the
vulgar herd thought plain. Cluopotra,
Jcitnno of Naples, Diana of Poitiers,
Mndomnisello de la Nalleiro. Madame
do Mnintonon, and, in short, tnfa greater
part oi those females who ImVo been
made famous bv tho pnsaiou they inspir
ed in kjngB and heroes, were all disfig
ured by Homo pcriomil blemish or infirm
ity ; while the majority of those whoso
benuty has boon extolled us faultless nnd
consummate, found only disappointments
iu their love, or wituoaaed its mulnuohol*
ly entustropho. This iqipnreui iuoousia-
toncy must have a cause ; nnd, perhaps,
man lives more on sentiment than actual
onjoymont; perhaps tlio many physical
cfiurma of tho ull-porfoot Imvo their lim
it,’while the essentially morul attractions
of an ordinary woman nro infinite. Had
Henry tho Eighth’s wives’ been ugly,
thfty might have dofiod thonxo, nnd hnvo
ovurcomo tho inconstancy of tlioir royril
in aster.
place. I could not help recalling
Mrs. Hrowniu’s beautiful |)oem, “Cro.wn-
rs gave lu r a severe chastise- tM * /md'Huried.” “Sinco ho hud tho
alter which sho wus confined to E«niUB to lie loved, let him hnvo tho jus

THE INFLUENCE OF NEWSFAFERB.
Occasionally, nn individual says to ns,
“Times nro so hard with me, 1 must stop
iny paper,” or, as in some instances, “my
wife thinks wo otn diupdtito with the pa-
pet now, unti l, mint stop it.” Thus it
is; stop tlio paper tho first tiling ns n
useless oxpeuso, yvilljquk thinking of tlio
actual waste of money for tho many
things drank, etc , smoked or chewed,
w ltiqli car, do tho system no good, or
rather Ijtfnn.
The newspaper can or should bo re
garded ns a benefit to every liouseliolj.
It imparts UHofnl information; ti furbish

it mhis a oharm to Hooial intercoriree; it

To he without a mivv«p:qrcr otto migiit

ciety, hoars other folks talk about cur

cal or general inletest, ho cun tiiky no
part iu these llibigs, ueunuso ho is not

And iu tho family circle wlmt an influ
ence tho newspaper has! Tho children
rend it, und gain knowledge; tlHorvOB to
occupy tlioir leisure hours; to keup
them from frivolous amusements, and
gives iip attraction to home. (Surely,
then, no wise parent would go without a
newspaper in liin family—and a local
newspaper, too. lie may think fm can
get along without il, becauso ho is out
in tho world and can linvo tH<i reading
of it frtVm his neighbor’s slid]') hr store,
or can learn what is going on from oth

Men ought to be independent. They
ought to read for’lhfeinselveH. If, how

FIELD AID GAlDEH..
A FIVE FIELD SYSTEM.
“Notwithstanding wlmt wo Imvo said
of the profitnblu oxperionco of those who
have practiced thu four field system with
dlovor, wo should be tempted to guard
nguinst risk ofultinmtfl failure by a
ohnngo In ono point. Wo should niako
tho four fields five, and sowing timothy
seed with the clover, take n crop of tim
othy buy, when wo now tnko wheat, and
have this follow immoJiutoly niter the
timothy. Tho your devoted to clover
might, in this case, lie a year or pastur
age, and thus allow a very considerable’
audition to the stock. This stock would
advantageously f consumo the largo quan
tity of straw and corn fodder otherwise
entirely lost except for immure, nnd thus
bring a largo extra item of profit. If to
this stock tho corn be fed ns it should
be, ibis manure would bo greatly in
creased in Tulin-, nnd tlio fertility of the
soil proportionality improved.
The only objection thnt could bo made
to this change would bo that the addition
al year given to grass might,allow tho
native grasses to multiply to the preju
dice ol tho clovyr, nnd that so old a sod
might bo unsuitable to tlio growth of
who-t. There would bo very muturinl
objections should they ho realized in
pruetieo. The whole profit, of llio sys
tern is based upon the sucross of tlio clo
ver, and tliut must bofrtndo socuro nt
any rate; amt tho wheat crop on tho clo
ver fallow is the chief money crop, und
deserves to bo especially regarded. ,
As to tho effect upop thu cjovyr, we
think that a Well Sul sod of clover any
timothy would dining two venn*, bo com
pletely hold possession of tho ground ns
lo exclude entirely nil intruders, aud
that tho intcriuodiuto.workings (butwcon
these nnd tho next sowing would bo suf
ficient to put thu ground in a good state
of preparation. As regards tlio wlioilt,
nMuming, ns said above, that tho ulovor
und timothy will uxe.ludo native grasses
which might provo hurtful to it; and be
ing well assured th/it tho sod of timothy
which would prevail when wo break tho
ground for wheat, 1s *very congenial to
that oroy, wo apprehend nothing on this
score. It is Bind, indeed, to uiuku n
preparation for wheat, only inferior to
clover, and, in this case, thu good effects
of tho clover growing of tho previous
year nro added to tlio good qualities or
thy timothy sod. Huch u sod.it Inis
peon assorted, is especially, udvnntnguous
on llmds liable to heaving under the influ
ence of frost. Wheat'is said to bo, un
der no circumstances, so secure against
‘‘winter-killing.’’ No soil iu tho world
is bo uncertain as tliut of tho prairie on
account of winter-killing. Yet tlio oarly
sottler Vaises wheat < n tl o original tough
sward with vory uniform siiccoha, ; so it
is mauitninod that tho sod ol timothy is,
in this rouped, yury favorable to wheat.
Under tho .influence of those opinioup, wo
should he tempted to pevk Um advan
tages offered liy tho extra grass crop,
and malm nt least t» fair trial of five fields
iustoud of four."—American Farmer.
