I huvo b. e.i i r milit to that way of thinking by two plia s of exister.ee. which I liave recent iy b -eu iti vestigating. The first is, that, ia th warm weather thtt fjllow at ii-tenFely cold winter, th3 marriage notices iu tho daily pepers, h jw a vat ittcreaso over thosj i'oiluwiiig a mild wiuter. This ha-i boon brought forcibly to my notice by the action of Jonas, my fi inner boio:u bachelor friend.' lat winter. J one was coiiiir.u iliy lojki.ig us blue, as a s'ck codiiih, aiii was cotit'nua-lly coui- plainuig ot a cold ojcK. H e.I, sj.riiig came, and Jones forsook my tlumoriy much Fought for r.oeiety. I saw him now and then, but he ai.vays was kocuiu-p-anied by a f'cmd j iVicu-i; and so I com menced to lo'.-k .udpiciojjjiy at the '"unr- iage liats" of all th? papers published around cur p ace. Then it was that tile greatnr-ss of their number, as compared with the warm weather that had Mmcced ed a mild winter, a certain mild winter, struck me. I remember that fiet, Horn having pored over the li'ts, to .see v. heth er a fair wearer of criocline on whom I had been ewret, but who had yune oil with another fellow because the three hairs of his jr.utache were llie color of her chignoa, had her name chronicled therein. One day I psw the name of Jones yes Jones and lirowr; anl following this: "at the residence of the bride's la ther, Ibib Jones and S'rmiuthy Urown, both of thi. fity. The !tev. I'ineha?. Longprayer oiueiated, and the bride and groom looked like turtle doves. ".Ao Cards.' I f'JI bick stunned, but after a while recovered aud determined to watch Jones. I did s. There wrs a marked change in las eiterior. Ilia coat was brushed, his hair was bruihed, his teeth were brushed, his boots were brushed in fict he was brushed all over. AH very well said I, but I'll wait until winter come?. I waited. This morning I met him. I looked for the blue codfish look, he was as fiech as a morning glory, and as fre?h as a sun ripened peach. "How's your back, Jene:-?" tsaid I. ".Never better, never lietter," said he, "feels like that cf a healthy young pchool boy." Does she sleep behind? Or is there a magnetic influence in hav ing a female comforter as a bedfellow, that routes Old Jack Frost, worse than I (or.kcr muted the Kebs on the top of Lookout Mountain? That's what I want to know. So hero is a ftllow that ac cepts the firpt blushing damsel that throws her charms at him- sfter the firt of January; next year Icing Leap year and proposals from the ladias in fashion. As for any other study that will keep until to-morrow, and this i enough for now. Ilere's a true tale of woe, nil about a beautiful and abandoned wifo in this city. She married a wretch who loved her mony not wisely, but too well. When he got the isoney he loved some body else, and depnrted for the "rolling prairies of the mighty West." ids earthly posses-ions were burnt up in the Chicago fire, and then he came back to New York, and put up at the Ator House, without a. cent in his pocket. Ilemorse seized him (it must have been remorse), nnd ascertaining the addres of his lawful partner, he thas wrote her: "I am here and penniless. Forgive the past and come to my arms again." This ii what sdie wrote back: . "I'll come as eoon as I can. Excuse delay. I've gone to have a loaded head put on the cane you left." He didn't wait! Ketnorse seized him attain, and carried him off.

New York Observer. Ee:ictlir;iK' rarnsji. Great progress has been made within the last twenty five years among the farmers of the country, not only making their farms more pro.luc.Tve. hut in milk ing them more attractive. This, in large mea-ure, is the result of pio.-;crous farming. Th.-e who had debts to pay did rot feel able to expend much in orn amenting their places; Ltr since they have freed them: -elves from this burden, ihc5' have been more disposed to attend to the appearance of things. There has bee;:, also, an advance in taste. There are not so many now as formerly, who decry a!! utt'-niion to the ornamental as a wa-to of time and mo ney. This race t-f i:iggr.rd;y and boor ish men is fist dying out. Increasing inteliiger.ee;, the circubticn of agricultu ral reading, the formation of agricultur al societies, the infusion of a larger cle ment of cd tcate.d ani cultivated men in to the profession, have hud a powerful influence in securing more attention to the esthetics of farming, instead of hav ing every thing expended for mere pec uniary returns. And this is a great ad vance. It ennobles the pursuit of the farmer. Man is a creature of taste, and not a mere grub; and he who neglects to cukici.tJ and to gratify this element in h:s nature degrades himself. A: y one may form a pretty correct estimate cf the intellectual, if not the moral state of his neighbors, by simply looking over their farms. The one who allows his bui!dii:gs and lands to lie in a slovenly itate, when h? basilic means of improv ing them, may be a moucy loving, but he will also bo a sljvtnly uau with no elevating instincts. It is a great mistake that money spent in reasonably improving the nppearancj of a p'ace is thrown away. It m:.y be doubted whether there is ar.y more di rect method of increasing its pecuniary value. Certainly its market value will depend very much upon its outward up Cearanco. Tasteful and well painted uildinjrs, well arranged yards an J gard ens with neat fences, t-hade trees pro;) erly disposed, good farm fences a: d clean'y kept fields, willset off a farm to great advantage and make an amazing difference when it comes to be sold. And even if it be net sold, these things will add amazingly to the enjoyment of it by its possessor, if tie be not blind to everything but the dollar. Every man," too, owes it to ;h? commu nity in which he is living to contribute to general reputation and to public en joyment, by making all Ids surroundings as attraciive as possible. There is such a thing hs pat ing too much attention to the out ide and shew; but -there is r-won in all thing--, and a m?a-ure of time and attention and exppns-e shoul l be devoted by every one to making his farm and h.s home more and more attractive crcry year that he lives.
