We have eeen mcay days of joy, but vre remember do such exhilaration as that felt by us on the day when we mounted our first pair of boots. To appreciate such an era in life, we must n3eds have been brought up in the country. Boys in town come to this crisis before they can appreciate the height and depth of such an acquisi- tion 1 he boot period is the dividing line between babyhood and boyhood Ueloro the boots, one is trampled up on by comrades, and stuck with pins, ana we waiK witn an air ot apology tor mo laut, luat we were uuru at, au. io- uubi, scuooi-ietiows strise us across tne cneeK, and when we turn toward them, ti vtri i.i- .-Jul .jr, uu are you loosing an oi wua.. .a woibo umu auy possioie in- suit, nave someoody chuck us under the emn, and ca.l us Uub." .Before the viiBio ui uuuns, me country uoy carries no handkerchief. This keeps him in a state of constant humiliation. Whati ever crisis may conic in the boy's his tory no handkerchief. This is the I very unpopular period of snuffles. Lut ac last the age of boots dawns upou pon a boy. Henceforth, instead of always having to get out of the way, he wnl make others get out of his way. lie will sometimes get the Scripture lesson confused," and when smitten on the right cheek, will turn and give it to his opponent on the left cheek also. Indeed, we do not think that there is any regulation, human or divine, de- manuicg that a boy submit to the school- 1,, T.1", 1. Dutiy. luimK we should teach our boy to avoid all quarrel and srife ; but, nevertheless, to take care of himself. Wo remember with deep satisfaction how that, after Jim Johnson had knocked our hat in the mud, and spit in our face, and torn our new coat, we felt called upon to viudicate the majes- ty of our new boots. That, however, was before we had any idea of ever be- coming a unuisier. jmu wnen tne tine spoken of in a boy s hta comes. look out now you can mm " jsuo. lie parts hiti hair on the side, has the end , 11." . T ... T T of his white handkerchief sticking out the top of his side pocket as if it were acciieotaliy arranged so, hits a digni- bed and taamv mode ot expectoration, and waits down the road with lotg strides, as much as to say : Clear the trays for ray boots I AVe ha', o seen imposing men, but uone have so thoroughly impressed us as the F.hnetnaker who, with waxy hand, delivered into our possession our first pedal adornments. As he put the awl through the leather, and then inserted the two bristles iuto the hole, and drew them through it, and then, bending over the lap stone, grasped the threads with Lard grip, ar.d brought them up with a jerk that made the shop shake, we said to curself : " Here is gracefuluess for you aud power !" It w3 fcabbath-tiav when we broke tnem in. Uh ! the rapture of that mo incut when we lay hold the straps at me end, and, with our bier brother pushing at the other, the boot went on! YV e lear that we cot but little advan- tae that day from the services. All the pulpit admonition about worldliness and pride struck the toe of our boots, and fell back. We trampled under our fuet all good counsels. e have to repent that, while some trust in horses and some in chariots, tee put too much stress upon leather. 1 hough our pur chase was so tight in the instep that, son as we got to the woods, we went 111111)102 on our way what boot9 it? e felt that in such a cause it was no ble to suffer. For some reason, boots are not what they used to be. You pay a big Drice, and vcu might walk all day without heariui? once from them : but the ori ginal pair of which I tell spake out for themselves.

How Much W heat for a Bar rel of Flour ? The Question. " How much wheat does it take to make a hirrpl of fionr ?" is often asked, and the answer is of a general character, "Five bushels are allowed." At the annual ftiir nf the Dubunue Countv Asricultuaal Society in 1866, a premi cm of 830 was off-red for the best bar- rel of flour made from winter wheat, and also the same made from spring wheat. A firm entered one barrel of each, accompanied with the statement that sixteen bushels of Winter wheat yielded three barrels and one hundred and three pounds of floura the rate of four bushels" and fifteen pounds of wheat to the barrel. Of spring, fifty bushels yielded eleven barrels of flour being four bushels and thirty-two pounds to the barrel. The wheat was a fair quality and no more. Michigan Farmer. NUMBER 51. Cables and Kittens. Sidney Smith somewhere says that no house is perfect that does not con tain a buby and a kitten. With this I rather agree. There is a wonderful kind or cheenness in a house that counts these amongst its treasures ; and underlying each, there is much that is hidden. A baby implies much expec tation, mingled hopes and lears, anx ious guesses, joyous castle-building, di ligent preparation. Then there is the joy when it arrives, the thankfulness that all is well, the new arrangements to be made in the household, the queer mistakes if it be the first the ups and downs in the frail, early life of the lit tle creature. On this follows the strange linking in that helpless being into all the life of the parents How wond- rously does it expand the heart, and pu- riiy and raise the affections, and add new motives of action to the life ! And as the baby grows out of babyhood, .... . J ' suJi how the babyhood time is kept in memory, and its little nameless inci dents cherished in the family traditions. There seems still to be a baby, where the living fact no longer is found. And a grand story lingers round the kitten of the family. Perhaps it is found some day in the garden, a poor stray waif. Perhaps it is born on the premises, and one day appears, to the perfect wonderment of the familv. Then, how many pleasures quickly sur- round it and of what future hopes does it soon become the centre in the nurse ry : Uut around this anxieties cluster Kittens do not come singly. Most pa rents object to the whole brood being kept. Then arises the difficulty ; what is to be done with those not wanted : It is a moment the father looks to with dread, but one which ho has to face.- It requires a good share of moral courage. At length he proposes that three out of the four should be drown ed. He knows how this proposal will be met. He shrinks from the reproach- ful looks from the muttered surprise, from thjeiow" esteem in which his character for kindness must sink for the time. He can realize the hesita tion of the child as she pointed at last to tiie twins in the cradle, and picked out the nn wnnl.I HL-p to Iia L-Pr.r. l?nt at last it is over, and the kitten spared so absorbs the attention and love of the 1 Jren that all the sad past is for gotten, and the father rises to his usual place in their eyes. Th graceful gambols, the winning ways, the pretty tricks of the kitten, these make glad- nees by the happy fire-side. Yes, baby and kitten arc grand institutions in a house. The Papary. A Paris paper, La Liberie, gives a curious sketch of the individuals who have filled the Holy See sioce its in auguration by St. Peter. No throne in hurope iurnishes so many violent and bloody deaths. From St. Peter to Pius IX. there have been 293 Pones. Of these 31 are considered anti-Popes, or usurpers, in the same sense r.s the Bourbons regard Napoleon as an intruder. Of the 262 legitimate Popes, 29 met violent deaths under circumstances that entitled tlitxa to the rcpnte of martyrs , the other 35 also met violent deaths; IS poisoned, 4 assassinated and IS by various means Stephen was strangled ; Leo III. aud John XI v. were mutilated, and the latter starved to death, as also Gregory XIV. ; Luke was stoned ; Gregory VIII. was confined in au iron cage ; Celestin V. was ended by a nail driven into Lis temple ; Boniface VIII. com-, mitted suicide ; Clement V. was burnt on his sick bed; Urban VI. was killed by a fall from his horse ; Pius IV. died from erotic excess. Sixty-four Popes then died by ex traordinary means, without counting 20 others who died suddenly, from chagrin caused by reverses. Twenty six Pops have been deposed or exiled, besides- the Popes at Avig non. Thirty-five Popes were heretics. I The first 13 did not believe in the Di- er in his doctrines. Many have been accused of murder. Leo V. was a wo man. Twenty-eight Popes invoked foreign aid to keep them eu their throne. To sum up, 153 Popes of the 293 were adjudged unworthy of their posi tion. " What Dynasty (asks the Li bcrte) has such a history ? And yet the actual Pope has called a council, which is going to declare him anfalh ble . Exit Blondes Brunettes the Fashlonaiic Rage. From the New York World It is intimated that the blondes are not to have it all their own way this winter, as they have had for -everal years past. The brunettes, instead of dying their hair a dingy yellow, and daubing their skins until their com plexion looked like raw starch, have wisely determined to stick to tncir own brilliant and natural attractions, and - fight it out upon that line. They have discovered that their utmost efforts on- ly succeeded in producing a hideous sort of jreueral resemblances to the blondes, who were thus left masters of the field, superior to competition or ri valrv. - This supremacy received a great blow, however, a lew weeks ago, at a grand wedding which was considered as inau- gurating the fashionable season. The beautiful bride, though not btrictly a brunette, was not at sll a blonde, but the four bridesuiaids, all exceedingly lovely, were all decided brunettes, and wore'in their dark tresses only the scarlet flower3 of the sweet-scented geianium Their dresses were triumphs of ars and taste. They consisted of white tulle, louillonne, trimmed with white eatia paniers. The bouquets of scarlet flowers were p!ociJ cn tho left of the bodifc Ihe Tarboro' Southerner.

My gun was a single-barreled shot-gun, and the old man carried an old Queen Anne mus ket that weighed a ton, tnade a report like a thunder clap, and kicked like a mule. The old man wanted me to shoot the musket sometimes, but I was afraid. One day, though, I got her down, and so 1 took her to the hired man, and asked him how to load her, because it was out in the field. ' Hi ram,' said he, 4 do you eee these marks on the stock, an X and a V on each side of the Queen's crown ? Well, that means ten balls and five slugs that's her load.' " ' But, hfw much powder ?' " 'Oh,' he says, 'itdou't matter; put in three or four handfuls.' " So I loaded her up that way, and it was an awful charge I had sense enough to see that and started out. I leveled her on a good many blackbirds, but every time I went to pull the trigs ger I shut my eyes and winked. I was afraid of her kick. Towards sundown I fetched up at the house, and there was the old man resting on the porch. " ' Been out hunting, have ye 2" " ' Yes, sir,' says I. " ' What did you kill V " ' Didn't kill anything, sir didn't shoot her off was afraid she would kick,' (I knew blamed well she would.) "'Gimme the gun!' the old man said, as mad as sin. " And he took aim at a sapling 6a the other side of the road, and I began t ) drop back out of danger. And the next moment I heard the Queen Anne whirling end over end in the air, and the old man spinning around on one heel with one leg up and both hands on his jaw, and the bark was torn oil from that sapling like a hail Storm. The old man's shoulder whs set back three inches and his jaw turned black and blue, and he had to lay up for three days. Cholera nor nothing elsa can scare me the way I was scared that time." Klarriage 1 La Jlode la 1769. It may interest our""joung readers, and especially such as are revolving, matrimonial designs, to read following description, which we take from one of our exchanges, of the costumes worn by the bride and bridegroom, on the ofe ca;icB of a fashionable marriage in the year of grace, 1769 : To begin with the lady : Her locks were strained upward over an immeusa cushion that sat like an incubus on her head, and plastered over with pomatum, and then sprinkled over with a shower of white powder. The height of this tower was somewhat over a fobt. One single white rosebud lay on its top like an eagle on a haystack. Over her neck and busoru was folded a lace handker chief, fastened in frcnt by a bosom pin rather larger than a cent, containing , her grandfather s miniature set in vir gin gold. Her airy form was braoed up in a satin dress, the sleeves as tight as the natural skin of the aem, frith a waist formed by a bodice, worn outside4 whence the skirt flowed off, and was distended at the fop of an arcplo hood. Shoes of white kid, with peaked toes", and heels of two or three iuches cleva tion, inclosed her feet, and glittered with spangles, as her little pedal mem befs peeped out- Now for ihe swain-; his hair was sleeked back and plentiful ly beflowered, while his queue project ed like a handle of a skillet. His coat was a sky-blue silk, lined with yellow ; his long vest of white satin, embroide red with gold lace ; his breeches of same material, and tied at the knees with pink ribbon. White silk stockings and pumps with laces, completed his gay and unique attire. m m Selections for !fcwspapfrs Most people think the selection of suitable matter for a newspaper the easiest part of the business. How great an error To look over an! over fifty exchange papers daily, from which, to select enough for one, especially when the qtfecticn is not what shall, but what shall not be selected, is no very easy task. If every person who reads a newspaper could have edited it, wo should have less complaint. Not un-. frcquently it is the case that an editor looks over all his exchange papcr9 for something and finds absolutely nothing. Every paper is drier than a contri bution-box ; and yet something muit be had his paper must be out with something in it, and ho does the best he can. To an editor who has the least care in what he selects, the writ ing he has to do is the easiest part of his labor. Every subscriber thinks the paper ii printed for his'own benefit and if there is nothing to suit him, it must be it is, good for nothing. As many subscribers as an editor has, so many tastes he has to consult. One wants something very smart and some thing sound. One likes anecdotes, fun and frolic, and his next door neighbor wonders that a maa of sense will put such stuff in his paper. Something spicy comes out aud the editor is a blackguard. Next comes something argumentative and the editor is a dull fool. Aud so between them all tha poor fellow gets the worst of it They never reflect what rfocs not please them will please the next man; but they in sist that if the p iper does not suit thnm it, is good for nothing, and stop taking it i n jicdiately.
