IVORK FOR APRIL.
OJr THE FARM.
Lit( ERSE.—Those who desire to make an experiment of this productive grass, should try an acre during this month. The soil id which it most delights, is a deep fertile sandy Joam, which should also be well manured.— The best way to cultivate it, is in drills; but if the ground "be plowed twice, sobsoiled deeply, and manured after the first plowing, it may be grown advantageously by broadcast culture. The soil must be thoroughly har¬ rowed, so as to bring it into fine tilth—ihe seed to be lightly harrowed in—if lime be not present in the soil, 10 bushels of lirae, per acre, should be sown upon iho land. 15 lbs. seed, per acre, when drilled, and 20 when sown broadcast, are the quantities. In fertile loamy land, well manured. Lucerne may be cut from three to four times in a season, it is (1110 of Ihe most nourishing grasses grown, and is relished by all kind."; of stock. As a soiling iiras.', il ha.s no equal, being the earli¬ est ill .spring, and latest in the fall—it pro- moles Iho secretion of milk, and imparts a rich and delicale flavor lo butter. As a dairy grass, il slands pRerless and alone, o'er-top- piiig all other grasse.'i full a head and shonld- eis.
<Uts.—Wherever Ihis crop may not have been gotten in the laat month, all possible e.verlions should be made lo sow them as early this monlh as possible, as early sowing always promotes the yield ol the grain.—- This Irnlh may be relied npon, that a large prodnct cannoi be evpecled from poor land. He that commil.s his oat-.seed to such land, wilh such hope, will be disappointed; he however, may improve his chances nf suc¬ cess, by sowing over every acre of his field a bushel of plaster, 5 bu.shels of ashes, or lime, well mi.iced togelher.
The land shouldbe well prepared, by faith¬ ful plowing, harro«\ing, and rolling. Wheth¬ er ihe oats Le plowed or harrowed in, the earth sliould be compressed by a heavy roller in Older lo bring it into immediate contact with the seed, to promote germination, tintl give stability to the roots of the plants. The seed too, would be better of being soaked in .salt brine of slrenglh lo bear an egg, and dried in a mixture made of equal quantities of ash- 0.-* and plaster. Great benefit would result to the crop of oats from sowing two busheU of salt per acre over the field. The salt would act in a three-fold way—it would kill the grubs—convert Ihem into food for plants, and attract moisture from the atmosphere. Less than two bushels of seed,per acre, should not be sown.
I f the ground be in a state of fertility, Clo¬ ver may be sown upon the oats, at the rate of, 12 lbs. per acre, to be lightly harrowed in and finished by rolling.
B.iiiLEY.—This grain should be sown early this month, at the rate of two bushels per acre. It delights in a good fertile loamy soil. Grass seeds may be sown with it. If Clover, 12 lbs. per acre—if timothy, 1 peck of seed per acre—if Orchard Grass, two busliels per acre.
Spuing Whkat.—This grain may still be .sown, but the earlier the better. It requires like winter wheat, a good soil, and like it, should be steeped in salt brine, and dried in lime, as it is parlicularly subject to the smut. From our experience iu ils growih, we look upon it, this side of the Delaware, as a very uncertain crop. We have grown 22 bu;ihels to the acre, and we have obiained only 7; so that we have ceased long since to sanction its being sown e.vcept in cases of necessity— where the winter sown wheat may have failed, it may be resoried to, as was Hob- son's choice in the case of the horse—not otherwise, in the regions hereabouts. All lands in which the cereal grains are raised, should have lime and polash in them—and where Ihey may not be naturally presenl, ihey shonld be artificially applied.
Meadow.';.—Meadows that are hide-bound, may be greatly improved by having the har¬ row passed over them, and 5 bushels of ashes per acre sown thereon antl rolled.
Peu.ma.nkxt l'ASTUit>;s.—Uolh thc qnality and quantity of the gra.sses on permanent pas- litres, may be greally improved, by submil- litig such pastures to similar treatment as that recommended for meadows.
Fk.vtf.s.—As nothing is more vexatious Ihatj bad fences—as noihing is more apt than such fences to lead to difficulties between neighbors—we would recommend yon, if you have not already done so, to make a thorough examination of every panel of fence ou your farm, and have all repairs made that may be ii;quired, without further delay.
Bra.mbi.ks, BaiAits akd Bushes—While re¬ pairing your fences, lake care to have every bramble, briar atul bush cut up, so that they may ne longer remain lo excite the insidious remarks of the traveller, who is loo prone to speak disparagingly of the farmer who per¬ mits his fences to be lined wilh all sorts of bushes and briars. As yon cut ihem down put them in piles, and when sufficiently dry bum them—or if you have gullies, have them placed there to arrest the further washings of the rains.
Hauli.vg-out Manuke.—Let nothing pre¬ vent your attention to this duty—the job is a heavy one, and the sooTier completed, the sooner will your mind be relieved, and you able lo direct your attention to something else of imporiance.   Your manure once in place, you will feel imbued -with a new spirit—arm¬ ed with renewed ewirgy.   While preparing to haul it out, if you ^vill mix a bushel of plas¬ ter with every 20 do'uble-horse cart loads of it you will greatly increase the value, of your ¦manure for present as well as future pur¬ poses.
Hr..Mi> AND Flax.—It is full lime that these crops were gotten in.
Tobacco Beds—If the plants in your to¬ bacco beds be attacked with the fly, or mani¬ fest a sickly hue, try the efficacy of a solution or soot and sulphur in a bag, place it in a bar¬ rel or tub, pour boiling water over it, and when cool, water wilh the solution, l lb. of sul¬ phur to a quart of soot and two gallons of wa¬ ter—this will bear being filled up several .  times.
Poultry Houses.—If not already done these should be thoroughly cleaned out, nests and every other fixtures. That done let them be whitewashed, inside and out, not forgetting the roosts. For the management of the fowls and the treatment of the young, we refer you to our more extended notice of last monlh, wherein we think you will find such instruc¬
tions as will enable you to command success. ROOT CULTURE. As the potato crop has so generally failed within the last few years—as the cause of the malady which has produced this failure, yet remains hidden fromthe ken of man-and the remedy is as far removed from us now as it was when the disease first made its appear¬ ance—prudence would seem to dictate, that the farmer should diversify his root culture, in order that he may not have to rely upon a single root for his winter supply—and the more especially in thii course enjoined upon him by the stern necessity of the case, aris¬ ing out of the precarious nature of the degree certainty which attaches to the culture of the potato—a root heretofore looked to by the husbandman as his winter vegetable reliance. Independently, however, of the above con¬ siderations which point so unerringly—so forcibly—to the extension, as lo families, of root-culture, there is another consideration, whioh presents ilself to our mind wilh unmis¬ takable signs of propriety, for the course we recommend. We desire lo see every farmer paying more allention in providing winier lood for his milch cows—we desire lo see those generous creatures so fed, as to place it be¬ yond all doubl, that they wiil yield hbe|ally to the milk pails, and enable the good hcmse- wife, in the winter as well as spring and sum¬ mer, to have her dairy well supplied with ricli butter and cream—a condition lo which to many nf Ihem have long been strangers. And why ? Why, simpl}'. because their hus-. bands have failed in their duly, lo provide succulent food for iheir cows. Dry H.i}', straw, and fodder, when fed liberally, will keep the .inimais in tolerable condition; bul when fed dry, docs not stimulate the milk vessels to the secretion of milk, and hence it is, that most farm cows, yield, in stinted mea¬ sures, from tho li.iie that the pastures are frost killed in the fall, unlil Ihey are warmetl into verdure by the rays of the spring sun. Cows can be, and have from the earliest period, subsisted upon such prorender—but ihey deserve beller treatment than is meted out lo them through that system of feeding, which condemns them to dry food Irom De¬ cember until May, year in and year out, and from which there is no escape, until consign¬ ed to the mercies of the butcher knife. In order, iherefore, '.o bring about a better stale of alfairs in farm-economy, we here seize the occasion lo urge upon every owner of a home, to undertake the culture of an acre or two of Parsnips, Carrots and Mangel Wurlzel. The same amount of labor that will secure a heavy crop of corn, will enable the grower to raise from 5 lo 800 bushels of either of these roots to the acre—they require about the same quantity of manure, aud it may be affirmed, wilh truth, that an acre of eiiher can be rais¬ ed as cheaply as can an acre of corn. Then as such is the case, why should the husband %vho loves his family, hesitate a moment iu making up his mind as lo the quesiion of duty. No man who has a good wife—and if she be not good the fault is with himself, for all woman are naturally kind, amiable, and confiding—no man who may have a family of daughters in whom his affeciions are bound up—but must feel his heart bound in joy at being able to gratify their ambition, aud the more so, when that ambition prompts ihem to multiply the comforts of the household, at the same time they husband and promote a just and enlightened economy, and advance their parent's pecuniary welfare. Ah! but says Ihe anti-rootist, " 1 can't spare tlie manure from my com crop! An acre of corn ¦unil yield more food for my cows than will an acre of roots /" We say he can spare the manure if he is so willed—if he has been as provident as he ought to have been in making il. And further, we ask, do the cows get any portion of the corn so prolifioally grown on that nota¬ ble acre 1 Let the milkless udders ot these poor creatures answer our question, when, amidst snow and sleet, they may be shivering in some fence corner, and consuming their stinted allowances of straw and husks lo keep themselves from freezing.
Having thus manifested our desire to see milch covi's, in which the ladies of your fami¬ ly so justly lake so much pride, beller provi¬ ded with winter food, let ua talk a little about the kind of roots you should sow during the present month.    First we have
Parsnips.—This is the root on which the farmers of the Island of Guernsey feed their Alderney cows, whose celebrity, as the yield- ers of rich milk and cream and delicions nutty flavored butler, are known the christian world over. That is an excellent root for the winter feeding of cattle no one who ever ate of it, and noticed its surgary flavor, can doubt.
Soil.—The Parsnip delights most in a deep light loam, although it will grow in any loam. Preparation of the soil.—The ground would be the beller of being subsoiled; but if that should be too much trouble, plough as deep as a slrong team can sink your plough into the ground, harrow it well, then put on 1.5 double-horse cart loads of well rotted manure, and cross plough it in from 5 lo 6 inches deep. Your ploughing being done, harrow well and roll. Your land ia now fit for drilling in the seed, which can be done "by a drilling ma¬ chine, so contrived as to make the drill, sow the seed, cover them, and roll at the same time.
If you have not a drilling machine, draw drills with the corner ofa/loe, north and south, 2 inches deep, the drUls to be 18 or 20 inches apart. We have found a bottle convenient to sow with. We prepared the seed thus: We poured hot-water over them, and let them soak over-night. In the morning we pour¬ ed ofi' the water, and mixed as much soot plaster and ashes wilh the seed as separated them, we then mixed 2 parts sand with one of seed, put the whole in the bottle, which we kept well shaken as we sowed the seed from its mouth—we took pains to sow the seed as thinly as possible, and to bow over them a compost made of 6 parts mould, 1 part ashes, and 1 part plaster. This compost we sowed over them with a free hand, and covering with the rake, pressing the earth down with the back of the rake as the work progressed. Age of tlie seed and qiuintity ptr acre.-Par¬ snip seed if more ihan 1 year old is uot cer¬ lain of coming up". From 2 tb 3 lbs. is the quantity per acre.
Culture.—When the plants are sufficiently high, to allow of it, they ahould be thinned out, BO as to staud 4 in. asunder in the rows, be hand-weeded around the plants, and the ground stirred with the hoe, between the rows. In 2 weeks from this working, pass a cultiva¬ tor through the middlsB, and use the hoa to remove all weeds and grass from around the
plants. Repeat these workings twice more, and you may safely lay by your paisnip crop, with the well grounded hope, if you have ma¬ nured and prepared your ground as we have directed, that you will gather in autumn, ac¬ cording to the season, from 500 to 1000 bush¬ els of fine nulricious roots fronifei acre.
Carrots.—The soil, preparation ofthe Boil, quality and quantity of manure, the-same for carrots as for parsnips. The preparation of the seed is a little diflferent-before putting them in the soak, they should be mixed with Sand and rubbed between the hands—other¬ wise they are difficult to be sown wilh preci¬ sion.
The quantity of seed per acre the same as
for parsnips.
In thinning ihe plants, they slioukl be so thinned as to stand 3 inclie.s apart in the rows, which should be of the same width as for parsnips, and their mode of culture precisely the same.
Mas(;el Wurtzel.—This root should be managed like the two preceding ones,—ilde- liglils in the same kind of soil,—should have the same sort and quaniily of manure. The rows.should be/h»7/i(,-)-apajf, say 27 inches, and the plants be thinned ont to stand 12 inc. from each other. The culture is the same, -with this difi'erence, that the plants show two crowns—one of which musl be pinched off, or the roots will fork. In good deep loamy soil, well ploughed, and well tended, mangel-wurl- zel is a most prolific root. From about An¬ gus! you may gather leaves from them lo feed yonr milch cows, and repeat the gallioriiig every 2 weeks, provided you leavo the crown and upper serie.'? of leave.^ tintounked. They condnce lo llie secretion of milk, increase ils richness, and as a necessary consequence, in¬ crease the quantity of good rich finely flavor¬ ed buUer. Three ¦pounds of seed tn be sown per acre.
A pock of parsnips, carrots, or mangel- wurlzfil, cut into convenient size, and fed to each cow, night and morning Ihrough the winter, in addition to her usual quantity of hay or (odder, will keep her to her milk, and ena¬ ble yonr excelleni lady always to havo good rich butler for the table or for market—a con¬ dition of things during winter which never fails lo exact pleasurable emotions in -the bosoms of those who take pride about the economy and comforts of the household.
Sugar Beets are cultivated precisely as are mangel-wurlzel, nnd answer every pur¬ pose of that e.vcellent root, with this addiiion, the sugar beet is an excellent table vegetable, having much less of the flavor of the earlh than the ordinary gaiden beets.
For field culture the .A.Uringham, Long Or¬ ange, and Belgium or While Carrots are the best kinds—and of parsnips, the large Dutch. As TO the time ok sowing.—^So soon in this monlh as you can prepare your ground, by manuring and giving it two ploughings, thorough harrowings and rolling, is the time when you should sow your parsnips, carrot and beet seeds, though it will answer to do so up to the 10th of May—the earlier, however, you get them in this month, the betler, as when got in early they yield the most.
E.uiLY Pot.itoes.—For the management of these, we refer to our remarks last month, and will dismiss the subject by the remark—that the early crop stands the best chance of escap¬ ing the rot.
Stock, ofail kinds, should receive increased food and care—not omitting to give them salt at least thrice a week—or what isa verj' ex¬ cellent subslilule, a mixture of equal quanti¬ ties of salt, slacked lime and ashes—a hand¬ ful to each animal.
Al this season ol the year horses are the beller being bled and physicked. Alter bleed¬ ing, if each horse was In be given a pint of molasses, and a pint of fresh warm milk on a fasting slomach, and, in two hours thereafter, had 4 a pound of glanber salts, dissolved, ad¬ ministered lo him, he would be greally bene¬ fitted. After bleeding and physicking, he should be fed for a day or two on soft messes of bran, cut straw, and chopt food. After be¬ ing given the salts, the horse should be kepi gently moving until it operates.
Thus we close our memoranda ol the labors on the farm, and wilt seize the occasion to say, that he who wishes to do juslice toothers, and have justice done to himself, must pcr- snnnlly oversee, (though ho may not help) every oper.ition on his farm. Direct all, and be present to see that what he directs is faith¬ fully executed —as the best security we have ever known to make one's hands industrious and careful, is the presence of the master or employer—such presence is a wonderful slrenglhener of the nerves and resolution of the employed—a most admirable antidote against that prevalent disease called timc- killina.—American Farmer.
THERE'S SOMETHING GOOD IN EVERY HEART.
BY THEODOKE A. GOULD-
Woiild'st win the orime-slained wanderer back
From Vice's dark and hideous track—
Let not a frown diy brow deform,
'Twill add but fierceness to the storm :
Deal kindly—in that bosom dark.
Still lingers Virtue's glimmering spark:
Plead with him—'tis the nobler iiart— There's something goqd in every hear 1
Bring to his mind the early time Ere sin had stained his soul with Crime j When found affection blest his hours And strewed his joyous path with flowers ; When sportive jest and harmless gled Bespoke a spirit pure and freo :
Plead with h;m—'tis the nobler part— There's something good in every heart!
There was a time that head did rest Close to a mother's yearning breast—     . A time his car tho precepts caught A kind and virtuous father taught. It matters not what treacherous ray First hired his steps from Virtue's way— Enough to know thou yet may'st save That soul from Sin's engulphing wave : Plead with him—act the nobler part— There's something good in every heart 1 .
Spring Succeeding Winter.—When \ye observe the earlh gradually e.xchanging ils winter robes for a mantle of the liveliest green, the flowers springing up in fresh luxu¬ riance at our feet, and every shrub and tree putting forth its buds, which are soon lo be beautifully expanded into blossomsand leaves, our first feeling are those of wonder and de¬ light at the marvellous change producedin the general aspect of nature ; and we then natur¬ ally seek to contemplate the causes of such a universal transition. By what agency, we ask, does the vegeiable world suddenly start from apparent dealh into all the beauty and exuber¬ ance of anoiher spring? What cause, under the direclions of thu Great Ruler of the year, works the magnificent effeci ?
The means by which this sudden bnrst of vegelalion js produced, are, like most of the other great agencies of natnre, extremely sim¬ ple. It is merely the increased temperature of the earlh and atmosphere, assisting the natural tendency of the plants lo awake from the lethargic stale into which they are thrown during winter. The progress of the earth in its orbit towards its aphelion, or greaiest dis¬ tance from ihe sun, causes that luminary to ascend higher iu the heavens, and longer above the horizon, and thus produces longer and warmer days.
It is a well known physical fact, formerly noticed, that, the more perpendicularly the sun's rays fall on the surlace of the earth, Ihe greater is the heat they excite. Hence, as the sun, in his northward progress in the eclip¬ tic, daily ascends higher above the horizon, and consequently darts his rays upon our hem¬ isphere in a more perpendicular (jireclion, the temperature oflhe earth and air gradually in¬ creases, and milder and more genial wealher ensues. The eflect upon the economy or veg¬ etables is raore or less less rapid, accordiiig to their different structures; but in no long pe¬ riod the increased and increasing heat produ¬ ces a universal developemen! of foliage and flowers. Tho earlh opens, as it were, her bo¬ som 10 the sun; all her veins feel the genial influence : and a vilal energy moves and works in all her blossoms, buds, and leaves. Whal was lately bar lenness becomes fertility; irom desolation and dealh start up life and va¬ ried beauty, as if benealh the reviving fool- steps of a present Deity. Hence result all the amazing and beautiful phenomena of spring. —Sacred Philosophy ofthe Seasons.
Fe.male Education.—A large class has sprung up in the community who decry ex¬ alted scholaiship, and who advocate doctrines which strike to the very foundation of social existence. This class wonld suffer the com¬ mon school to exist, but would break down the university. In their ideas of female ed¬ ucation, they probably agree wilh the Earl of Pembroke, who despoiled the Abbess of Wil¬ ton Abbey of her property, and who said lo her—" Go spin, you jade!—go spin." They have no idea that the female should step onl of the uniform dead level, and think it of vast¬ ly more consequence to woman to undersland how 10 make apple tar's, brown bread, mend old coats, and set the table genleely for din¬ ner, than it is to enlighten her understanding. Bul these views are nol new. Mrs. Malaprop, in the comedy of the Rivals, advances pre¬ cisely simdar notions. Mrs. Malaprop would have made a most excellent presiding genius over a modern boarding school; and her daugh¬ ter, insli.icled as she ilesired she shouldbe, a capilal foreman of the Grand Jury, which, recently' in the Athens of America, locaied Mexico in South America. The temple of learning should be shut to women, as was the temple of Hercules in Rome, which was for¬ bidden lo both women and pigs.—/'. VV. Chandler, Boston.
Look at the Bright Side.—Why nol 1— ' Oh,' says one, ' if we do this we can never be prepared for difficulty.' Is the ship less able to meet the storm when with all sails set it gaily yields to the s,ummer breeze, and, wilh every stitch of canvass, makes the most of it? A bright confiding spirit is the very power to lift up—to buoy man up.amid surging troubles and threatningdisa.oter. Never think of yield¬ ing. No malter what the danger or difficulty —look up—see some sign of fair weather— catch the smallest patch in the Heavens—and feel, know, from the first that you can breast the storm, let it break upon, or over you, ever so furiously. Its strong arm may shatter ship and tear up old and deep rooted forest trees; but it has not the strength to damp or dash a cheerful, trusting, courageous spirit; Look, then, at the bright side. Aye- Look at llic bright siilo !   The sun's jroUen rays
Al! nature jlliiinc.':, and the heart of man cheereth, Why wilt Ihou turn so perversely to ga/.c On that dark- cloud which now in  llic dislance  ap- pearelh? Irfink at the bright side !   Recount all thy joys;
Speak nf tlie mercies which richly'surround thee. Muse uol forever ou lliat whicli alinuyi;
Shut not lliine eyes lo beaulies arouud thee. Look at the brighl side \   .Mankind II is true, Have their fajltiigs, nor should  Uiey  be spoken of lighlly '. Biil'%vliy oil their faults concentrate Illy view,
Forgetting ihcir virlues which shine forth so brighllyt- Look al thc brighl side!   And il shall imparl
.Sweet peaci* aud ronleuluieiil, and grnlci^iil cinolion, Retiectiiig ils own brilliant lines on llie hearl.
As the sunbeams that mirror Uicmselves in the ocean. Look at Ihe bright side!—nor yield to diapair ;
If some friends forsake, yet others still love thee; And when the world seems mournful colors lo -wear. Oh, look from liie dark earth Io heaven above thee.
Driven to Desperation.—A widow wo¬ man, wilh six children, attempted to commit suicide in New York, on Friday night, by swallowing laudanum, but assistance was im¬ mediately rendered, and her life was saved. The poor woman was in the most destitute circumslances, and having made unsuccess¬ ful application for work that day, came home and put her two youngest children to bed, wilhout food, and then went out and returned with the laudanum; but her eldest daughier suspecting somelhing wrong, gave the alarm. The family was supplied with articles of com¬ fort by some charitable persons.

A Goose Story.—At the Hour mills of Tub- berakeena, near Clonmel, whilo  in the pos¬ session of the late Mrs. Newbold, there was a goose which by some accident was left solita¬ ry, without mate  or offspring, gander or gos¬ lings.   Now, it happened, as is common, that the mdler's wife  had set a number of duck eggs under a hen, which in due course were incubated; and of course the ducklings, as soon as they came forth, ran with natural in¬ stinct to the  water, and the hen was in a sad pucker—her maternity urging her to  follow the brood, and her selfishness disposing her to keep on dry land.   In the meanwhile, up sailed the goose, and   with a noisy gabble, whioh certainly (being interpreted) meant, leave thom  to my care, she  swam  up and down with the ducklings; and when they were tired wilh their aquatic excursions, she con¬ signed them to the care of the hen.    The next ¦morning, down came again the ducklings lo the pond, and there was the goose waiting foi them, and  there slood the  hen in her great flustration.    On  this occasion, we are not at all sure that the goose invited the hen, obser¬ ving her maternal trouble, but it is :¦. fact, that she being near the shore, the hen jumped on her back, and there sat, the ducklings swim¬ ming, and the goose and hen after them, up and down the pond.   And this was not a soli¬ tary event.   Day after day, the hen was seen on board the goose, attending the ducklings up and down, in perfect conlentedness and good humor, numbers of people coming to wit¬ ness the circumstance, which continued until the ducklings, coming to days of discretion, required no longer the joint guardianship of the goose and  hen-—Rev. C. Ottway's In¬ tellectuality of Dumb Animals.

MnRDER OF A Child by a Lunatic—On the iOlh instant, a lunatic in Aberdeen, Ohio, nam¬ ed Keed, took advantage of the absence of a Mrs. Evansj with whom he boarded, and as she went out to visit a neighbor, laid down a bible he had been reading by the fire, went to the cradle where lay the landlady's beauti¬ ful little daughter, only three years old, and jerking it out by its arm with 9uch force as to dislocate it, threw it on the floor. He then went to the yard and got a board and -a broad axe, and laying the infant upon the plank, de¬ liberately chopped it apart in five different places.
All kor thp. Best.—Blessed are the^f that are blind j for Ihey shall see no ghosts.
Blessed are they that are deafj for they never need to lend money, nor listen to tedi¬ ous stories.
Blessed are they that are afraid of thunder; for they shall hesitate about getting married— and keep away from political meetings.
Blessed are they that are lean; for there is a chance to grow fat.
Blessed are they that get no office under goverunient, for five hundred and fifty-two reasons—not given on account of the short¬ ness of the days.
Blessed are they that are ignorant; for they are happy in thinking that they know every thing.
¦Blessed is he that is ugly in form and fea¬ tures; for the girls shan't molest him.
Blessed is she that would gel married bul can't; for the consolations of the gospel are hers.
Blessed are the orphan children; for they have no mothers to spank them.
' True Hospitality.—I pray you, 0, excel¬ lent wife, cumber not yourself and me to get a curiously rich dinner for thia man or woman who has alighted at our gates; nor a bed¬ chamber at loo great a cost; these things, if they are curious in them, ihey can get for a few shillings inany village; but ralher let this stranger see, if he will, in your looks, accents and behavior, your hearl and earnestness, your thought and will, which he cannot buy at any price ic any city, and which he may weil tra¬ vel twenty miles, and dine sparely and sleep hardly to behold. Let not the emphasis of hospitality lie in bed and board; but truth, and love, and honor, and courtesy, flow in all thy deeaa.—[Ralph Waldo Emerson.
