Wishing to keep posted as to the con- ) dition of the crops and to ascertain the enact amount of damage.' dents by the recent flood a reporter of the Ledger started out the other morning on an in- terviewing expedition. He was fortun- ate enough to encounter s farmer at the edge of the town bringing a haul of hay tato the city. Burning with enthusiasm the reporter hailed him. lie hinted and t ie following colloquy took place "How arts you friend Y" 'Tired '' "What's hay now f" "Same u it always was...

" "What are you doing now r "sitting out here in the sun and may- be missing a chance to tell this hay, Come up here if you want to talk." The reporter scrambled up to the side of his new -made acquaintance, and as they jolted on he again produced his note -book and continued: "What did the farmers do last spring?" "Ran everything in the ground, as usual." "Did your wheat do anything i" "Yes." "What "Sprouted... ".Can you race any tobacco now 1" "Yes. Do you want a chew !" "How are potatoes ?" "Under the weather eorewhat, tut s'ele to be out.," Becoming just the least bit diecuur aged, the reporter asked timidly: "Will you bring many beets to the city this year r. "Gut a good load now, was the re- joinder, u he checked his horses and 'laid: "Guess you'd better plant what I've told you, and see what it will yield. Here's where you get off."

The last half may be a oover, the cruet side up, or it may be turned and coyered with fruit like the others. If served hot leave it in the oven from five to ten minutes. Remembering that it was just about time to report at the ottice, the baffled search- er after news climbed down the side of the wagon, and, thinking that a soft answer turneth away wrath, he calmly Acid: "That's nice hay, my friend: where did it come from 1" CHERRYSwEETMEATS.

Or it may stand in a cool place several hours, even over night; when stewed un- til tender take the cherries from the syrup in a little strainer and put them in cans placed on a board in boiling water. Boil the syrup until thick and then till the cans and fasten the covers. STRAWBERRY ACID. —Dissolved five ounces of tartaric acid in two quarts of water and pour it upon the twelve pounds of 'strawberries in a porcelain kettle. Let it simmer forty-eight hour.

When I was a boy, my father one day day called me to him, that he might teach nie how to know what o'clock it was. He told me the use of the minute finger and the hour hand, and described to one the figures on the dial -plate, until I was pretty perfect in my part. No sooner h%d I gained this additional knowledge, than I set off scampering to join my companions, but my father called me back again. Stop, Humphrey said he, "I have something else to say to ybu." Bak again I went, wondering what else -I had to learn, for it seethed to me that I knew all about the clock quite as well as my father did. "Humphrey," said he "I have taught you to know the time of the day; I must now teach you to find out the time of your life." All this was Dutch to me; so I waited rather impatiently to hear how my father would explain it, for I wanted sadly to go to my marbles. "The bible." said he, elescribes the years of a man to he threescore and ten. or fourscore years. If we divide the fourscore years i f an -old man's life into twelve parts like the dial „f the clock, it will allow almoseven eeveryr figure. ena boy s seven yeas old, then, it is one o'clock of his life, and this is the case with you; when you arrive at fourteen years. it will be two o'clock with you: and then at twenty- one years, it will be three o'ciock, Should it please God thus to spare your life. In this manner, you may always know the time of your life; and your looking at the clock may perhaps remind you ,if it.

Let theta drain and dry for a few moments undisturbed, then hull them, handling as lightly as possi- ble. Put the sugar over them. It draws out the juice and changes the character of the fruit. If they are not to be eaten for an hour or more, hang the barket in the refrigerator and do not hull them till the last moment. Brussels. MIRACULOUS.—A man named Jas. Thomvon, residing in the township of t Morris, fell from a window in the third story of McKinney's Hotel, last Friday night, striking the sidewalk with great force, dislocating his shoulder, and re- ceiving other injuries.
