I <*id not take the temporary editor­ ship of an agricultural paper without misgivings. Neither would a landsman take command of a ship without misgiv­ ings, Bat I was in circumstances that made the salary an object. The regular editor of the paper was going off for a holiday, and I accepted the terms he of­ fered, and took his place. The sensation of being at work again was luxurious, and I wrought all the week with unflagging pleasure. We went to press-, and I waited a day with some solicitude to see whether my effort was going to attract any notice. As I leftrthe offioe, toward sundown, a group of men and boys at the foot of the stairs dispersed with one impulse, and gave me passage way, and I heard one or two of them say : " That's him !" I was naturally pleased by this incident. The next morning £ found a similar group at the foot of the stairs, and scattering couples and individuals standing here and there in the street and over the way watching me with interest. The group separated and fell back as I approached, and I heard a man say : " Look at his eye!" I pretended not to observe the notice I was attracting, but secretly I was pleased with it, and was purposing to write an account of it to my aunt. I went up the short flight of stairs, and heard cheery voices and a ringing laugh as I drew near the door, which I opened and caught a gliuipse of two young rural-looking men, whose faces blauclied and lengthened when they saw me, and then they both plunged through the window with a great crash. I was sur­ prised. In aboni h<uf as bom* an old gentle- man, with a flowing beard and a fine but rather austere face, entered, and sat down at my invitation. He seemed to have something ou his mind. He took off his hat and set it on the floor, and got out of it a red silk handkerchief and a copy of our paper. He put the paper on his lap, and, while he polished nia spectacles with his handkerchief, he said: " Are you thenerw editor f"r n ** "I said I was. • : " Have you ever edited an agricult­ ural paper before?" "No," I said; "this Is my first at­ tempt" "Very likely. Have -yon had any experience in agriculture, practically? " No, I believe I have not." " Some instinct told me so," said the old gentleman, putting on hfe specta­ cle and looking over them at me with asperity, while he folded his paper into a convenient shape. " I wish to read yon what mast have made me have that instinct. It was this editorial. Listen, and see if it was you that wrote it: "' Turnips should never be pulled--it 1'ures them. It is much better to send oy up and let him shake the tree.' " NoV, what do you think of that-- for I suppose you wrote it Z" "Think of it? Why, I think it is rood. I think it is sense. 2 have no ioubt that, every year, millions and millions of bushels of turnips are spoiled in this township alone by being pulled in a half-ripe ooiiditiou, when, if they had sent a boy up to shake the tree-- " Shake your grandmothers ! Turnips don't grow on trees 1" " Oh, they don't, don't they ? Well, who said they d d ? The language was intended to be figurative, wholly figura­ tive. Anybody that knows anything will know that I meant that the boy should shake the vine." Then this old person got up and tore his paper all into small shreds, and stamped on them, and broKfe several things with his cane, and said I did not know as much as a cow, and then went out and banged the door after him, and, in short, acti d in such a way that I fan­ cied he was displeased alxmt something. But, not knowing what the trouble was, I could not be any help to him. Pretty soon after this a long, cadaver­ ous creature, with la iky locks hanging down to his shoulders and a week's stubble bristling from the hills and val­ leys of his face, darted within the door ami halted, motionless, with finger on lip, and head and body bent in listening attitude. No souud was heard. Still be listened. No saund. Then he turned^ the key in the door, and came elaborate­ ly tip- toeing toward me till he was with­ in long-reaching distance of me, when he stopped, and, after scanning my face with intense interest for awhile, drew a folded copy of our paper from his bosom, and said: ' ° There--you wrote thi&t. " Head it ttt EHt 0 quick! Believe me--I suffer.'* 1 read as follows--and as the sentence fell from my lips I could see the relief come--I could see the drawn muscles relax, and the anxiety go out of the face, and rest and peace steal over the features like the mericiful moonlight over a desolate landscape : 'The guano is a fine bird, but great care is necessary in rearing it. It should not be imported earlier than June, nor later than September. In the winter it should be kept in a warm place, where it can hatch out its young. " It is evident that we are to have a backward season for grain. Therefore, it will be well for the farmer to begin setting out his cornstalks and planting I his buckwheat cakes in July instead of August "Concerning the pumpkin. This berry is a favorite with the natives of the interior of New England, who prefer it to the gooseberry tor the making of fruit cake, and who likewise give it the I preference over the raspberry for feed­ ing cows, as being more tilling and fully fsa satisfying. The pumpkin is the only Vescnlent of the orange family that win thrive in the North, except the gourd and one or two varieties of the squash. But the custom pi planting it iu the front yard with the slirublK^ry is fast go­ ing out of vo>rne, for it is now generally oonoeded that the pumpkin as a dude tree is failure. "Now, as the warm weather ap- proaohea, and the gandeaa begin to spawn--" The excited listener sprang toward me, to shake hand*, and said : " There, there--that will do ! I know I am all right now, because you have read it just avl did, word for word. But, stranger, when I first read it this morning I said to myself I never, never believed it before, notwithstanding my friends kept me under watch so strict, but now I betteve I am crazy, and with that I fetched a howl that you might have heard two miles, and started out to kill somebody, because, you know, I knew it would come to that sooner or later, and so I might as well begin. I read one of those paragraphs over and over aga>n, so as to be certain, and then I burned my house down and started. "I have crippled several people, and have got one fellow up a tree, where I can get him if i want him. But I thought I would call in here as I went along, and make the tiling perfectly certain; and now it is certain, and I tell yon it is luoky for the chap in the tree. I should have killed him, sure, as I went back. Good-by, sir; good-by. You have taken a great load off my mind. My reason has stood the strain of one* of your agricultural articles, and I know that nothing can ever unseat it now. Good- by, sir." I fait a little uncomfortable about the cripplings and arsons this person had been entertaining himself with, for I could not help feeling remotelv acces­ sory to them; but these thoughts were quickly banished, for the regular editor walked in ! [£ thought to myself, " Now if you had gone to Egypt, as I recom­ mended you, I might have had a chanoe to get my hand in, but you would not do it, and here you are. I sort of expected you."l " This is a sad business--a very sad business. There is the mucilage bottle broken and six panes of glass and a spit­ toon and two canulestieks. But that is not the worst The reputation of the paper is injured, and permanently, I fear. True, there never was such a call for the paper before, and* it never sold such a large edition, or soared to such celebrity ; but does one want to be famous for lunacy, or prosper upon the infirmities of* his mind ? My friend, as I am an honest man, the street out here is full of people, and others are roosting on the fences, waiting to get a glimpse at you, because they tiiink you are crazy. And well they might, after reading your editorials. Why, what put it into your head that you could edit a paper of this nature ? You do not seem to know the first rudiments of agriculture. You speak cf furrow and harrow as being the same thing ; you talk of the moulting season for cows, and you recommend the domestication of the poleoat on account of its playfulness and it* excellence as a ratter. " Your remark that clams will lie quiet if music be played to them Was su­ perfluous--entirely superfluous. Noth­ ing disturbs clams. Clams always lie quiet. Clams care nothing whatever about music. Ah, heavens and earth, friend, if you had made the acquiriugof ignorance the study of your life you could not have graduated with higher honor than you oould to-day.

I want no more holiday--I could not enjoy it if I had it Certainly not with you in the chair. I would always stand in dread of what you might be going to recommend next. It makes me lose all patience every time I think of your discussing oyster beds un­ der the head of ' Landscape Gardening.' I want you to go. Nothing on earth could persuade me to take another holi­ day. O, why didn't you tell me you didn't know anything about agriculture?" "Tell you. you cornstalk, you cab- bage, you son of a cauliflower ! It's the first time I ever heard such an un­ feeling remark. I tell you I have been in the editorial business going on four­ teen years, and it is the first time I ever heard of a man's having to know any­ thing in order to edit a newspaper. You turnip ! Who write the dramatic crit­ iques for tbe second-rate papers ? Why, a parcel of promoted shoemakers and apprentice apothecaries, who know just as much about good acting as I do about good farming, and no more. Who re­ view the books ? People who never wrote one. Who do up the leaders on financed Parties who have had the largest opportunities lor knowing noth­ ing about it. Who criticise the Indian campaigns? Gentlemen who do not know a war-whoop from a wigwam, and who never had to run a foot race with a tomahawk or pluck arrows out of the several members of their families to build the evening camp tire with. Who write the temperance apptials and clamor about the flowing bowl ? Folks who will never draw auother sober breath till they do it in the grave. Who edit the agricultural papers, you--yam ? Men, as a general thing, who fail in the poetry line, yellow-covered novel line, sensation line, city editor line, and final­ ly fall back on agriculture as a tempo­ rary reprieve from the poor-house. * " You try to tell me anything about the newspaper business! Sir, I have been through it from Alpha to Omega, and tell you tiat the less a man knows the larger noise he makes and the high­ er the salary he commands. Heaven knows if I had been but ignorant instead of cultivated, and impudent instead of diffident, I could have made a name for m* s If iu this oold, selfish world. I take my leave, sir ! Since I have been treated as you have treated me, I am perfectly willing to go. But I have done my duty. I have fulfilled my contract, as far as I was permitted to do it I said I jcould make your paper of interest to a 1 elapses, and I have. I said I could nin> your circulation up to twenty thousand copies, and if I had had two more weeks I'd have done it And I'd have g:ven you the best claps of readers that ever an agricultural paper had--not a farmer in it, nor a solitary individual who could tell a watermelon from a peach vine to save his life.

THERE is a fairy mythology, similar to that of Europe, among the native tribes of America, which embraces ev&n the superstition of the changelings. IN the reign of Titus 3,000 men were compelled to fight as gladiators, and 10,- 000 daring the reign of Trajan. Both Emperors were noted for their clemency.

IN THEIR general bearing toward so­ ciety and in the nature and minuteness of their scruples the early Cliriatains bore a greater resemblance to Quakers than to any other existing sect THERE was a question among the early Christians as to the propriety of wearing, in military festivals, laurel wreaths, because laurel was cahed after Daphne, the lover of Apollo, the heathen god. IN 1596, David Black, a Protestant miuister in Scotland, delivered a sermon in which he said that, as to the Queen of Scotland, they might as well pray for her because it was the fashion to do so, but no good would ever come of it As a consequence he was thrown into prison.

ONE method used by the Anglo- Saxons for ascertaining the intentions of fate was to take slips of wood from some fruit-bearing tree, mark them, and after a solemn prayer, shake them together I and throw them into a white garment- spread for the purpose.

IN438H Nicholas Lillington, Abbot of Westminster, then nearly seventy years old, prepared himself with two of his monks to go armed to the sea coast, to assist in repelling a threatened invasion of the French.

Three men, two of them blind, were drinking together one night, in the room of a public house, and as is too often the result of such convivial meetings, one of the blind men quarreled aua came to Ldows with the man that could see. Here was likely to be a battle not by any means on equal terms. But the other blind man was equal to the occasion. That the man who could see should have no undue advantage over his less fortu­ nate opponent, up jumped the blind friend and turned off the gas, and so they pommeled each other in a harmless way tor a time. We have given an il­ lustration of the warlike passion. As an offset we could give many illustra- trations of the gentler passion, love, for the blind are eminent disciples of Cupid and Hymen. As a rule a respectable blind man has no difficulty in getting a seeing wife, and very often with good looks to boot And when we consider the delicacy of touch in the finger-tips of the blind, the latter is not to be wondered at. Blind men, however, do uot always marry wives who see. We kuow of finally instances in which both husband nnd wife are blind, and have managed to rear families - without the occurrence of any serious mishap either to themselves or the children. And the cases are rare in which the latter are dc - fective in sight. Only lately the marriage took place of a blind couple somewhat advanced iu years, she l>eing his second wife, and he*her third blind husband The marriage was not wanting iu the- elements of romance, for in their young dags they had courted, and parted, blind in a double sense. We will conclude with a courtship, but ih this case will not vouch fur its truth. A blind man lifri several occasions met a widow, who was not, however, like himself, blind, atld' latterly concluded that she would mate him a good wife. He resolved that he would "pop the question" without loss of time. Accordingly, one evening found hime in the widow's house for that pur­ pose, when his suit was entirely success­ ful. But so elated was he with his suc­ cess that, on leaving her door, he forgot he was up a flight of stairs. The stair­ case window being very low, and hap­ pening to be open, he felt the air on hia heated brow, and at once stepped out without thinking where he was, and so fell into the court below. The widow, hearing the nqjse. ran down, greatly alarmed, but was fu ly teassured that rto bones were broken by his remark: " Maggie, ye hae a big step to your door !"--Chamfjcrs' Journal. Zealots in Love. Beaconsfield wrote : " Instead of love being the occasion of all the misery of this world, as is sung by fantastic bands, 1 believe that the misery is occasioned by there not being love enough. What a myetery it is ! All the necessities and habits of our life sink be!ore it. Food and sleep, that seem to divide our being rs day and night divide time, lose all influence over the lover. He is a spirit­ ualized being, fit only to iive on am­ brosia, and slumber in an imaginary para­ dise. The cares of the world do not touch him; revolutions, earthquakes, the change of Governments, the fall of empires are to them but chidish games, distasteful to a mauly spirit Men love in the plague, and forget the pest, though it rages about them. They bear a charmed life, and think not of destruc­ tion until it touches their idol, and thee they die without a pang, like zealots for their persecuted creed. > A man in low wanders in the world as a somnambulist, with eyes that seem open to watch him, yet, in fact, view nothing but their own inward fancies."
