THE PLEASURES OF FARMING.
—o — A Danbury young’man, who was once a clerk, lately went on to a farm to wot k. The first night in his new positiiin ho was detailed to remove a calf from the, apartment of its parents to another shed, and while engaged, as thousands have been before him, in shoving the contrary beast along, the mother reached under the tai's of his coat with her horns, and suddenly lifted him- up against the roof'of the building with a force that threatened to shatter every hone in his body. The first thing he did on returning to earth was to rub himself, the next thing was to throw up his place. He said that he didn't doubt that agriculture was a noble pursuit, and that the farmer needed an assistant in the discharge jof his multifarious duties, hut he didn’t believe he was designed for making skylights in cowsheds.
