Should yob inert farmer John in the city* You’d call him a country greenhorn, Yon might look upon him with pity, Or perhaps with a feelingof scorn. His great heavy boots, minus blacking, Ills straw hat with wide,ample brim, With gloves and necktie both lacking. And his bronzed fare puzzled and grigs. The fops step aside tie he passes. And glatbce at their dainty pinched feet. And lisp their disgtl% to the lasses, They happen to meet in the street. *>! come from the dust of the city, Leave palace, and steeple and dome, l’nt by both your scorn and your pity, 4 Till you see good farmer John’s home. Far back from town’s noise and bustle., Where meadows and pastures are wide, Where loaves on the tipple trees rustle. And comfort and pleasure abide. 'Where acres with beauty lie teeming, And promise large produce to bring, A pleasant white farmhouse is gleaming \ml farmer John reigns as ils King. How eliaiT'ed i* liis lace as he nears it, l-’rom that which he wore in the tow n; A broad smile breaks over and clears it, From puzzled expression and frown. ! lis good wife stands ready to greet him Witha smile that thrills hi* through heart, And all are so happy to meet him. Though only a bright day apart. Ills deep voice grows sweet and lower, As baby- lips press his brown cheeks, He is happy, he asks for no more; lie is loved—w hat more need he ask y His hoys and his girls are so merry, The table so full and so white, And all are so happy and cherry, lie envies no ruler his might. HI ye, with city notions, Thert’is something more precious and sweet, Thau gm-eful and elegant motions, In walking tlie'clo-c,’dusty street. Facts about Life. It is singular how much meth od has been discovered in the ■seeming irregularities of life. Thin gs that appear the most pas mil occur with wonderful order when the aggregate is taken into account. Take, far instance;- the height of man. What influence lias it on longevity ? How ‘tan we know whether we are fortu nate or unfortunate in this re spect? Facts show that one's height does affects one's days, and*tall men live longer than short ones. Marriage, too, affects longevi ty. Favorably? Yes; married men live longer than single men. One's profession has an impor tant relation to life. Thus, out of one hundred of each of t he fol lowing professions, the number of those who attain their seven tieth year is ; among clergymen, 12; farmers, 40; traders and manufacturers, 33 ; soldiers and clerks, 32; lawyers. 20; artists, 28; professors, 27; physicians, 24. Thus it appears that those who heal us kill themselves more rap idly than others. The average duration of life is 33 years. One fourth of the born die before tliey reach (he age of 7 years, and the half before the 17tli year. Out of 100 persons only i reach the the age of 30 years, and only 1 in 1,000 reaches the age of 100 years. Out of 500 only 1 attains 80 years. Out of 1,000,000,000 living persons, 330,000,000 die annually. 01,000 daily, 3.730 every hour, and CO every minute; ami still the pop ulation of the earth increases. Tito known tongues which men speak amount to 3,004. It seems from these facts that the two great events of life are being bom and dying. After the turmoil, rest. A lesson in Politeness. •• A friend of Dean Swift’s one day sent him a turbot as a preb ent, by a servant lad who had frequently been on similar er lands but bad never received anything from the dean for his trouble. Having gained admis sion, he opened the study-door and, putting down the fish on the floor, cried out rudely, ‘Master has sent you a turbot!’" Young man,’ aid the dean, ri-diiu from hi- easv-chair, i* that the way you deliver a message?] Lei me teach you better manners. Sit down in my chair, we will change places, and I will show you howto behave in future. “'Hie boy sal down, and the dean going out, came up to the door, and making a low how.said. ‘Sir, master presents his kind compliments, hopes your are well and requests your acceptance of a small present.’” ** • Does he ?’ replied the boy. ‘Return him my best thanks, and there’s half a crown for yourself." “The dean, thus caught f-y VV I own trap, laughed heartily*-. ,vu ; gave the boy a crown for ready wit.” The teacher as well to 4H| | scholar received a lesson *lJ,>rtH| j time. That boy certainly , u . o j* j enough to make his way tl, s a( n— , the world. The dean was r< fun’ and we have no doubt i-nfl ed the boy’s coolness. Home Manners. Good manners are not learned ly arbitrary teaching so much as ac qiiiretl from habit. They grow upon us by use. We must be courteous, agreeable, civil, kind, gentlemanly and womanly at home, and then it will soon lo t I come a kind of second nature \di Ihe so everywhere. A course, I rough nature at home begets a I habit of roughness which wo can ! not lay off, if we try, when we go ! among strangers. The most a ! grceablo people we have ever j met in company are those who j are perfcctfully agreeable at | home. Home is the seltool for jail the best things, especially i good manners. .

In part J. of the Series of lec tures on this “acoustical marvel of the century” the endeavor was made to explain ils mechan ism and operation and to point out t he delicate complexity of its effects in a way to awaken an interest in the laws of acoustics, and in the onward march of science. The present paper will treat of the future of this wonder ful ventriloquist, for so, in a eei tain sense it is, being able to ;,r rest and fix all kinds of sound; to preserve them as long as met als may hold their properties, and to give them forth again in all their original qualities. Regarded from a scientific point, of view there are subtile questions about it that only trained physicists can appreciate. Mr. Edison, by this invention has done for sound what .M. Daguerre did for light, made it possible to fix and retain the most fleeting impressions. The fact, though, is established and must lie made the most of A machine a- sim plo as a coffee mill hears L?; a speech or a song and give* it back, inufiled and mumified (is true, it being an iron tongue which speaks, but its intonation-, inflections, pauses and quality, are rendered with such astonish ing fidelity that a listener cm hardly believe his senses, or es cape from the suspicion that there is some ventriloquist hocus poctis about it or some little Hop ’o my Thumb concealed some where. We have studied and learned touch about the marvel ous properties of cold iron, mag netism. and electric wire, and here we have the lesson repeated with still greater emphasis, that we must - raise out estimate j ot the powers and potencies of “mere dead matter.” One of our enterprising gro ceis seeming to thin! flial the Phonograph may have something to do with Now • irleans cabbages and Tennessee butter asks: ••Bit' bow can this wonderful inventim be applied so hto be of any service?"

The utterances of great speakers and singers will there he kepi for a thousand years. In these galleries, spoken languages will he preserved from century (o century with all the peculiarities of pronoiinciation, dialect, and brogue. What if a cient Rome or Athens had pro duced an Edison ? There would have been iio difficulty in repro ducing the grand orations of Cicero or Demosthenes delivered with unsurpassed eloquence. The musical tones of Homer would again he heard singing the prais es of heroes. As we now go to see sferopticon, we shall go to public halls to hear treasures of speech and opera brought out a* loud or even louder than when first uttered by the truly great ones of earth. This will be a truly great stimulus to ambition; for life, being but a span,excellence will be striven for in order that posterity may hear and know u*. In public exhibitions, also, we shall have reproductions of the sounds of nature, of voices famil iar and unfamiliar. Nothing will be easier than to catch the soiind of the waves on the beach, the roar of Niagara, tin- hum and di* cord of the streets, the warbling of mocking bird or the chant of the nightingale and the rolling of the thunder either of /• us or of the battlefield. The conditions for increasing the sound are so simple tlial there can be iio doubt of any desirable extension in dial direction. I'm I* f oyonat frjHtH. Any dairyman troubled with cows having sore teats should use plenty of linseed oil before and after milking. He will find hut few, if any, sores about his cows’ teats if this be done.
