P 0 1 ? X (TA S . from the Fayetteiille Observer. YES OB NO. When a man I ask a question, I wish he'd answer, yes or no ; Not stop to make some smooth evasion, And only tell me, may be so. "When of a friend I wish to borrow A little cash to hear him say I've none to day, but on to morrow ; It's worse than if he'd told me nay. I from my soul despise all quibbling ; I'll use it not with friend or foe. But when they ask, without dissembling I'll plainly answer, yes or no. But when I ask the trembling question, Will you be mine, my dearest Miss ; Then may there be no hesitation, But say emthatieally, yes, sir, yes ! " SINGLE MAN.

First with a kiss he stopped my breath, And softly said, sweet creature, why ? And tho' he stjueez'd me most to death, I could not help it; no, not I. Well, what do you think at hist I said ? I never shall forget, no ne'er; "I tell you plain, I'll never wed, So tease me now then if you dare."

A little boy called upon one of our citizens last week, and ottered some raspberries for sale. "Well, my son," says the citizen, -arc there not w orms in "them?"

When it is neci-s -ary to feed infants artificially, and Cows' iniik is used, it should be first boiled, and skimmed then sweetened a little with BQgr, and next a little salt added, not enough to give it a saltish taste; milk thus prepared will not only prevent the indigestion and consequent acidity, flatulence, col e, diarrhoea, kc, from which sucking children suffer so much, but will actually cure them ; so says Hall's Journal of Health. A hearty infant will swallow, during the first year of its life, fourteen hundred pounds of milk, in which are twenty -one pounds of cheese, thirty po lads of butter, and a huudred and twelve pounds oi sugar. At six cents a quart, with the necessa ry sweeting, each "dear" little creature costs, for food alone, fifty dollars for the first year. The farmer whose pigs were so lean, that it took two of them to make a shadow, has been beat by another who had several so thin that they could crawl out through the craks in their pen.

"Before Jove," says Virgil, ' no husbandman tilled the ground; the earth of itself produced everything; now harrows i break the sluggish clods, and the hinds pray to i the gods for moist summers and serene winters." j Those who use harrows for such purposes are right. ; They who consider them only wanted for covering ' the seed are mistaken. So convinced was the en ' thusi.ntio. Tull. with whom commenced a new era I in icuw. of. StSt mold, in euitivauou, mat, ucuciw j such means entirely dispense with manures. The germinating seed requires something more than merely to be covered: it wants a loose ami nienuw r .... i , .1 itaal. soil, in which it may spread out the little spon- gioles of its roots for nourishment without inter ruption, and find its earthly constituents finely com minuted in abundance. To effect such purposes, the harrow should be light and strong, and made to embrace as much of the ground as possible; and for the purpose f making it lie close, it is of im portance to have it jointed. In a well plowed field the objects of harrowing are not obtained by weight, but by a repetition of light strokes. NtVM 'T'airkt Off" but Once.
