Travelling a long distance into the West some few years aga we journeyed in the sumo car with a woman of two seats, and we heard her tell four seat- seekera that her extra seat was "en- gaged for a blend," batt the friend must have been a "gamier ier friend, for he never pot hi: an at"11e.it auee and the lady occupied the two seats until the find of the jouruey.

When Maine was�a district of Massa- ct.usetts, Ezekiel Whitman was chosen to represent the District in the Massa- chusetts Legislature. He wan an eccen- tric man, and one of the best lawyers or his time. lie owned a farm, and. slid touch work on his land ; and when the tznie came for Trim to go to Boston his beet suit of elothea was a hit of homespun. His wife objected to his going in that garb, but tie did not care, "I wilt i;et a nice alit mode as aeon as I reacts Bostcon," ho said. Reaching hie deeet,ltt'iat', Whitaten f.nnd rest at Di:,littt,r's City Tavern. Let it bo n„dereto•-rd, that he was a graduate of 1:1 Lrvard, and at this tavern he was at holne, As ha entered the parlor of the house he found several ladies and gentlemen aliflembIed, and heard the follntuiug remark from one of them. "Alt, here came a country- man of the real homespun genius. Here's fun." Whitman stared at the cotllpany and then sat down. ".Say, my friend, are yon from the oonntry, ' remarked one of the gentle- men. en. ' Ya.as," answered Ezekiel, with a Indict -one twist of the face. ".And what do you think of our city?" asked one of the ladies. "*It's a pooty thickly settled place anyhow, it's got a sweeping sight of houses in it." "And a good many people, too ?" ""Ys -es I should giwse "Many people where yin come Pram r "Well, soma" "Plenty of laadiee. I Rupp rya ?" "Yuen.% a fair spriulrlin'." "And I don't doubt that you are quite a bean among thew ?" "Y%.rts, I beaus' 'em home tory meet - in', and l:tngin' Alielwi." "Perhaps the gentleman from the country will t sire a , lase of wine r "Thanit ea". Dann Iter if I do." The wino was brnnght. "Yon mart drinit a toast." "0, git out 1 i eat toast; never heard' of arch a thing as drinkin' it. But I can give you a sentiment." The tadiee clapped their hand•, ; b11 what was their aurpri:le when the stranger rising, spoke calmly and clear- ly ae. i,ilInws "Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to wish you health and happiness, with every blessing earth can afford ; and may you grew better and wiper in a t- vancing veers, bearing even in mind that outward appearances are decei f 11. Yon mistook me, from my dress, for a country booby, while I from the snore superficial cause thought you were la- dies and gentlemen. The mistake has been mutual." lie bad just finished when Caleb Strong, Governor of the State, entered and inquired for Whitman. "Ah, here I am, Governor. Glad to see you." Then turning to the dumb- tounded company, he -said : "I wish you a very good evening." TILE HoUsi;liOLD. Posrron Itrter1T..

Virden INDIAN PUDDING. —Mix a cof- fee cup of meal smooth with a teacup- ful of molassess, then stir in a quilt of boiling milk a little salt and a tea- spoonful of butter ; put in a pudding dish, pour iu the mixture and set it aside for two hours to thicken ; just be- fore putting it in the oven pour in half a pint or more of milk, but do not stir it in as this forms the jelly. Bake threw hours in a slow oven. Genas FOR SHIRT Bosons.—A laun- drette gives the following receipt for doing up shirt bosoms : Take two ounces of fine white gumarabin pow- der, put it into a pitcher, and pour on a pint or more of water, and then hay- ing covered it, let it stand all night. In the morning pour it carefully from the dregs into a clean bottle, errrk it, and keep it for use. A teaspoonful in a ;hint of starch made in the usual manner will also give to lawns either white or pink, a look of newness, when nothing else can restore them, after they have been wuslled. KILLING CANADA THISTLES. I had on my farm a four acre field t.• covered with Canada thistles. I say "had" because I am convinced the present season's treatment bas made it too hot for them and I shall seeno snore of them. The land was strong --"it makes good land to raise good thistles." One half of the field was seeded immediately after ploughing ,and a thorough working with a two horse cultivator, with soiling corn. Tbis was put in drills, thirty inches apart, with a large one horse seed drill— about three' and a half bushels per acre. By the frequent use of the cultivator the space between the rows was kept Olean, and directly in the rote the few that have stuck up their heads look Very yellow and sickly shaded by the dense growth df corn. The remainder of the field. was heavily: seeded with• Hungarian grass. • Titr.ely showers have made the season favorable for this crop, and it has grown :rapidly, smothering the disagreeable former occupants of the soil. I do not consider this so success= .ful a mode of"treatrnent: asnthe former; because 'Hungarian itrase grows so a Exeter North Hensall FLOUR =WRIST MILL, Being in good working order gtyes every accoma dation possible in gristii.g and Aourwg.

TholliihPricoofrlou CHEERFUL WOMEN. In marrying, men should seek happy women. They make a terrible mistake when they marry for beauty, orfortal- ent, or for style. The sweetest wives are those who possess the magic secret of being happy under any and all cir- cumstances. Rich or pour, high or low it makes no difference, the' bright little fountain bubbles up just as music- ally iu their hearts. Nothing ever goes wrong with them—no trouble is too serious for thein "to make the best of it." Was ever the stream of calamity so dark and deep that the sunlight of a happy face failing a rose its turbid tides would not wake au answering gleam ? Why, then, joyous tempered people don't know half the good t hey do. No matter how cross and cr,rbbed you feel, no matter if your brain is full of meditation, our "afflicting dispense - hens," and your stomach with medi- cines, pills and tonics ; just set one of those cheerful little women talking to you, and we are not afraid to wager anything she can cure you.
