Quilp and his wife had a bit of contention the other day. “ I own you have more brilliancy than I,” said the woman, “ but A I have the better judgment.”â€" ‘ “Yes,” said Quilp, “our choice x in marriage shows that.” Qni.I p "was informed that he was a brute. WITTY PERVERSION.â€"-Dr. Wil- liamson had a quarrel 'wi'th one of his parishioners by the name of Hardy, who showed consider- able resentment. On the sud- ceeding Sunday the doctor preached from the following text, which he pronounced with great emphasis, and with a sig- nificant look at Hardy, who was present: “ There is no fool like the fool-Hardy.” Oflentimes the “fastest ” young women are the most ea- sily overtaken by the galloping consumption. Young Dawkins married a la- dy for her money, but cannot touch it till she dies, and he treats her very badly on account of what he calls her“unjustifiable longevity.” The other day, Mrs. Dawkins finding herselfill, sent for a doctor, and declared her belief that she was poisoned, and that Dawliinsfhad done it. “ I didn’t do it,” shouted Dawk- ins; “it’s all gammon--she isn’t poisoned ! Prove it, doctor; 0p- en her upon the spotâ€"ql’m'wil- ling. Why are presidents like vaga- bonds '!-â€"Because they are asso- ciated with vices.

Fish, at least, if no other ani- ‘mals, have cause to believe that ..:it is a bad practice to think of ‘ ‘rising in life upon somebodyi ’else’s hook. Ayoung gentleman who had just manied a little undersized beauty says she would have been taller, but she is made of such precious materials that Na- ture could not afford it. ‘ ‘Sir,’ said a little blustering man to a religious Opponent, ‘ to what sect do you sappose I be- long ’l ” “ Well, I don’t exactly know,” replied the other, “ but to judge from your appearance, and the buzz you are making, .I should think you belong to the class called in-sects.” We have heard of asking for bread and receiving a stone; butagentleman may be con- sidered as still worse treated when he asks for a lady’s hand and receives her father’s foot. It is said that the acknowled- ged right of an editor to kiss a pretty girl on sight, is a part of the “liberty of the press.” In these days of crinoline the world of fashion is truly “ a wide wide world.” The open foe’s an honest afan Who hates and lets you know it; 'lhe faithless friend’s a. paltry knave‘ Who hates, but dares not .show it.

Hence we see the wisdom ofa practice common among nurserymen, of removing the central branches of young apple trees. This bending down of' the branches‘ should be done in June or July, while the shoots are most flexi- ble. Training the branches to a wall or trellis, is another meth- od. The slight compression of the ligatures, and the bending of the branches, causes a check of the flow of sap, and so induc- es fruitfulness. ‘ To Promote Fertility in Fruit Trees. Every orehardist must have observed that some fruit trees of superior quality and of luxuriant growth, are yet slow in coming into a bearing state, and are af- terwards inconstant. 'lhis is the case espe'ciél’lj with the pear tree. Let us 15913 down some of the methods ptbposed. for rem- edying this evil: linuabund'ant and rapid £10va1 of sap tends to the growth of! new wood and leaves, rather: . . 1 than to the formation of fruit-: buds. Whatever checks this} flow, will excite the production; of flower-buds For example,‘i select a vigorous evergreen; which has thus far shown no cones, and transplant it, and: next year it will be covered1 with seed-vessels. So it is often} with fruit trees. The check' thereby given to the growth of roots and branches, causes the organizable sap to accumulate in the branches, and directs it to the formation of fruit. Hence it is, that formal root pruning is sometimes practised. As this process is described in nearly all fruit manuals, we will only re- mind the reader that it should be practised only in the fall or winter. Mr. Rivers of England, as nearly everybody knows, no sooner catches any of his dwarf pears napping, than he lifts them from the ground and sets them back again. Fruit bearing is sure to follow. Ringing the branches is an- other method. This consists in taking out a circular section of bark, about an inch wide, on several branches of the tree.â€" The effect ofthis is to prevent the return of elaborated sap from- the torus of the branches to the roots and limbs below, and almost always produces the for- mation of fruit-buds. This prac- tice is not to be generally com- mended : it robs the lower por- tions of the tree of the prOper food, and renders the girdled branches useless afterwards. Bending the branches down- ward, is another and better method. This impedes both the ascent and descent of sap, and causes its accumulation all along the branches in the form of fruit buds. Who has not ob- served that a crooked apple-tree often bears better than a perfect- ly straight one ’! And one with From the American Agriculturist. Agriculture, ’scful Receipts.

The geographical position of the City of Hamilton, with its superior Railway con nection, affords great facility for the speedy trans mission of the Daily Spectator to the numerous thriving towns and villages between the Niagara and Detroit Rivers,â€"-â€"an advantage of which th. proprietors have not failed to avail themselves The Semi-Weekly and Weeklu editions (made up from the reading matter in the Daily) containing a great amount of news, at an extremely low price, enjoy a large and extended circulation among the agricultural classes, and those not immediately engrossed with the cares of politics or commerce, to whom the stimulus of a daily paper is not a. necessity. The Spectator (Daily,Semi-chkly and Weekly) is therefore an excellent medium for advertising: The rates charged are the same as the published rate, generally adopted by the Canadian press, except for the weekly edition, for which double the usual rate is charged, on account of its large circulation being confined almost exclusively to the farming community, thereby admitting only the profitable publication, in its columns, of ad- vertisements suited to this particular class. 233’ Terms of Application, and all necessary in- formation to be had on applying to Elf?

The success of the clubbing system as a means of supplying the public with CHEAP NEWS has already been tested by the Spectator.

THE CASH SYSTEM In announcing to the public the adoption of the Cash System as applied to subscriptions, the pro- prietors of the Spectator may remark, that it has already been approved by all, and adopted by many Canadian newspapers, with mutual profit to ' the publishers and the public. The Credit System, lhowever advantageous in other departments of I business, has nothing to recommend its application to Ncwwapers, for While the individual Subscripâ€" tions are so trifling that neither hardship or diffi- culty can result from payment in advance, the aggregate amount is a matter of serious Conse- quence to the publisher, and the eXpense of collee~ tion and losses form a heavy item which he is compelled to levy on the honest subscriber who. takes the benefit of the credit; hence the public can understand why newspapers cost 20 or 25 per cent. more at the end than at the beginning of the year. The abolition of such a system will no . doubt meet. With the approval of the public, and while ue will give every subscriber now in our books reasonable time to pay 11p arrearages. we Pshall not in future receive any subscribers but lthose who pay in advance.
