SIR, —When one knows something :that he knows will _be the . -means _Of benefitting his neighbors without injei r- ing anyone, and that -the material frena whioh this gain may be derived is allowed. to pin waste, there is a etrong dtspcisi- tion to tell everybody about it, especial- ly those whose duty is to, stop the _ . leak and. utilize the waste substance. - Whitt is theenotiv6.which has _dictated the following remake :.-Many farmers inthis part .of the country, 'if we may judge of theory by practice, seem not to think that the incessant eitine; though not the best thing in the world to make good roads, are sources of .fertility to the farm, and when properly used, can be advantageously..applied to renovate worn-out, and retain the volatile ,ele- ments of new and fertile fields. From the continual presence of tenacious mud and flooded fields during the .past few seasons, people seem to have ace quired an instinctive •dislike .to wet , weather and water in general, and are devising every mans, by -Acts of Par- liament and otherwise, to hurry- it .off the premises, . somewhat .like what is told of some original settlers, who,when Manure had collected too much round the bane, rather than spread it on the - field, moved the building to a clean site.' Water is injurious to soil only when al- • lowed to remain stagnant, when the or - gamic elements are decomposed and fly off in noxious vapors and. air excluded from the soil by its volurne. Rice, one of our most nutritious grains,- grows in. and derives its nourishment from water, and_ we know that the first bite of fresh grass in spring is always to be found . where water has flowed during the win- ter a.nd early spring mouths. Every- one must havenoticed that water 'al- lowed to stand .a coneiderableetime in a • tub or -other vessel,. dining warm weather,emits a disagreeable odor from the ' decomposition of vegetableplant food contained in it. Though it is im- prudent to it . water be stagnant on soil, it is -ruinous to let it rush into un- derground. drains and drive its thateld: wealth to the oceans, While thousands of acres of worn-out land are gaping for. the nourishrtieut which IA borne away to- enrich the deep pea pastures of other climes. By the analysis of the Most . eminent chemists, 'spring, water has been found to contain traces of all the rnetaloid and organic acids, lime, mag- nesia, iron and silica in solution, chlor- ine and the alkalies—every element that enters the compositiori • of food - bearing plants for mp,u and beast, while riverwater and that which:has washed. • streets and. roadsides contains a greater quantity of plant food,. a Vast amount of whioh may be need by the farmer, by a good system of dramege and irri- gation- We CSIIELO. afford , to lose ',arty manurial element when our average is decreasing constantly,. when we , .are - forced to compete -with agi.gantic neigh- bor with ten _times our population and double- our resources, who do nothing by chance, but study all their interests and conduct their agricultural operations by the laws of science,- whieb. are carefully studied and applied; where almost every county has its agricultural paper,which is considered as necessaryto . the suc cessful farteer as the shovel ..or lioe, theDominion of Camas eould -not efford a single weekly devoted to our leading industry, until about nine weeks ago. There, as here, tillage is • fleet, and the -chemist, the profetsor; the State geologist, the L'occupant of every chair of science who can exp).ain a law, propound - a theory whioh will aid to tha fertility of the soil, the ag- gregate yield, or theenation's wealth, willingly does so, either by .lecture or through the agriceittiral .papers. The result is that they have changed the balance of trade from $116,000,000 against them, tb 261,000„000 in 'their favot, di rin.g the pest three years. Canada, is Waking -up to her duty at last.: We have eyery reason to believe that she will. -make rapid strides and overtake her greatcousin. across the lakes in A few years, when we have a weekly paper, not three months old, equal to •their best -weekly; an.d two clever literary gentlemen out on a air - edit lecturing on agriculture, in theory and practice, during the present Winter. On thewhole, the prospects.for the fu- tureof our country look bright. . The industriesof a country are soclosely in- terwoven that no one eau suffer with- out injury to all, thus the . unfortunate butter industry of the pest summer, though -a direct loss. to ,rnerchants who purchased it, is now felt by everyone in the community, by the toss of thou- sands of dollars which should be in dir- ealation that never OEM reach our shore for that commodity.

Or take the item of waste -paper, and the same inerease of revenue is noted—infin- itesimal as it may be yet telling in the leng-run-eby those Who allow the thick and eoarse brown papers to be used for ' es and ether purposes, and save the 1 ewspapers and all white wrappings, .e en to the envelopes of letters, for the s me purchaser.

There need be no fear that ser- vants will think ill of the saving that pbecuree them the utensils they desire, an.d that otherwise, they might not have at all -; and as for feeling one's self to 1•.3 small and mean in the matter; it is 04- c3rding to our way of thinking, a trtle nbbility, because a true faithfulness' to stewardship, to make the most of evert, - thing. Poor Richard's maxim of .taking "1care of the pennies, and the pounds Ft-0AI take care of themselves," applies nbwhere much: better than it does to tiliese very matters of the rag -bag, as the refnl housewife who saves tits for her p tohwork out of sthat wonderful recep- t cle is well aware. Some people there who laugh at patchwork, and talk the time wasted upon it, when in oth, time is -the .only thing they 1;ate waste. It remains,for all their 1 tighter, that if in the odd moments en they would be doing nothing else t ey.do not run the squares of calibco.to- , ther, or let the children take the...r fitst needle lessons on such material, when they must Make new "comfort - ales," wadding and tufting them for the winter beds, if they have not this greet s eet of prepared patChwork, they mu t b4ty the calico by theyard.

There is a world of waste in the house- holds of Our civilizetion, much of which is in trifles that 'seem ahnost too trifling to mention, but ;yet -which can not be too-frequentiy brought to notice. It is true that on these Western shoresplenty has for long beeu close at hand, and the habits of thought following our system of government have given people euch sense of independenee and of right to enjoy,. that pro.digelity has been the rule rather than parsimony, as economy Miehtbe thought to do by those who de not look into the .eources of things. There is as -great a differeece between economyend parsimony- is there is. be- tween right. and wrong, for the fermer is the right using of money • and material without waste,and with a regard to the *ants and needs .end capabilities of others, a,nd: the latter is a selfish hosed - frig to selfish ends, sometimewithout regard to the needs of ourselves, and to- tally without regard to the feet that our.; property is Our ONVI1 only as a charge, as • i an estate to administer, since we hold it at the best but for life, and when we go can not take it with us. . • a But there are many people who; while • - • • economio a1 i nthe main, nd with the, heavier portion of domestic Matters, forget the part that the snaaller thiugs can play—the smeller things which, now that the great days of plenty of the srst half of the century are past, few • amities can afford. to overlook. It is in the very smallest of things that some of these righteous economies • can be practiced. Take, for iustauce, • the rag bag, a usual appendage of every house; all those who ba.ve one for white rags, and. another for colored rags, and a, third for woolens, know the difference It makes in their reeeipts from what the receipts would be were they all mixed together in one common receptacle when al.° ragman comes along, and they re- . p• Bread naturally ceetains a large quantity of water, or from thirty-sixi• to forty per cent., but it is frequently' made to contain greater amounts by the use of rice flour or potato starch, either 9f which will absorb more water than .. wheat flour.. Another way to increase the quantity of water in bread is, after leiving incorporated as much water in the dotigh as possible, to put in an oven, which causes the crust to form speedily, and thus the escape of water is prevented. This seine object is in a measure attained by throwing 9a,cks ;over the loaves ;when removed from the 'oven, thus preventing evaporation, although thepcarurtst thereby of the 1 •THE pUE1011 EX.POSITQR.

It was just the close of day. ,Th west shone in scarlet splendor, an dimpled cloud -ships lay serenely • clust eeed, in sun-kiired argosies over th peaceful vale, Where all was swee tranquillity. The robin was chantin his vesper song, and the roses droppe indolently in the balmy breeze, an and.seemed wafted to a realm. of de licions visions. At this heaven-fraugh hour I wandered d.own wood-lan avenue With a girl whose beauty wa beyond description. Her large blac eyes looked fondly into mine as we sa on a fallen. tree. Her soft jewelle fingers- lay in mine. Oh, heavenl moment! I could feel herwarm breat on my eheek, for. our lips almost .touch ed. She askedme, in faltering' accents, " Were you ever in love?" "Never till now," I replied. A71 then she looked at _me most lovingly and I drew her close to my bosom, an was just kissing her for the second time when the vision broke, and I paid th dentist and left. • It was my first experience witl • nitrous oxide gas. A Turkey Loses his Clothes While Drunk. gentleman farmer 'visited hi matket toivn recently, and among othe things purchased some rice and a pin of whiskey. Fearing that the bottl might get broken on the way home, h placed it in the box containing the rice When he reached home and took th box from th.e pung he found that th stopple had. got out of the b,attle, an rice and Whiskey were thoroughl mixed. He dumped the content of the box behind the barn and. in a short time a huge turke came along, and, as he was not as par ticular as the farmer, he gobbled up th medicated rice. Shoetly after this th farmer was greatly surprised to fin the turkey lying out behind, the bar. "dead as a door -nail," and vowing yen gance on the m lin who sold him -whisky rank enough to kill a turkey, he merle the bird into the house. The farme was soon after seen carrying the nalte bird—as every feather was gone with the exception of wings and tails out -behind 'the stable, where he left i on the snow. The next morning when he entered the stable, it being hardl light he detected what he thought Wa the ghost of that intemperate turkey and could almost feel his hair rise; but he made tip his mind to investigate the matter and boldly, advanced. Imagine his surprise on getting nearer, to dis- cover the bird ehivering on the , roost, and looking at him with reproachful eyes for hewing stolen his clothes while helplessly, drunk. At last accounts the isurkey *rs doing as well as. could be expected, during that zero weather. A Considerate Neighbour. In the . village of le there lived a certain woman who was very fond of a wee drap. On one occasion, when the drought was strong , and the funds low, she applied to TarrimaS, her 'next doer neighbour, for the Ten' o' a sa,xpence, but not being successful, she sat -down and wondered what she would try next. At length she jumped up and exclaimed, "Dash it, I hae it noo, fricht it oot o' him." S9, takipg up the gtillie,she walked boldly intoTammets and said, ":r. are sick tired- o' my life, leeving among sic unfeeling, hard- hearted folk. I hear ye aye yelping eboot some ate ye ca' the People's • Friend, but ne'er was a friend to me, so guid bye wi' ye." "Hoots, havers, Nannie," says Tainmas, " ye diuna mead tae harm yersel'." " dam it. Tammas, I'm a desperate woman, mind ye." " Guidness, Nannie, this 'ill never dae," said Tammas, jumping up and taking the key of his drawer, " Gie me the knife, Nannie, for ony sake." After, a show of resistance Nannie at length gave it up, and had the satis- faction of seeing the drawer opened; but to her horror, instead .of the.sax- pence, Tammas brings forth a setstone and proceeds to sharpen the gullie. Having got it to his mind, he handed it to her, and said, "Here Nannie, lass, the first sneg, noo, will send your head rolling alang the floor like a nauckle turnip, mutch an' a'." —Quite an excitement waS caused in. the township.of Hibbert the other vveek on the occasion of the nuptial of Mr. Wm. Murray, of Downie, to Miss Eliza Jane White, daughter of John White, Esq.,. of Hibbert. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Mr. Fisher, Canada Methodist Minister, in White's church, between 11 and 12 o'clock A. M., after which the company adjourned for din- .ner, which. was prepared with Mrs. White's usual good taste and liberality. In the afternoon the happy couple, with a few of their more intimate .friends, started to Mitchell for a drive, putting up at the Hicks House, where every at- tention was shown by the gentlemanly and obliging proprietor. After spending a couple of hours in. a social manner, the entire party then proceeded on the return journey, which was accomplish- ed without mishap. Supper was then disposed of with that alacrity which whetted appetites and good cheer do so much to iuduce. Dancing was next in order, and was kept up until the "wee f31118.! hours" of morning. The only thing which tended to mar the complete harmony of the affair was the presence FOR 15 JD A "Y" S 15 RETAIL WINE AND SPIRIT MERCHANTS.
