A five-year-old city, boy told his mother how to make butter:—"You just take a lom; stick with a cross at the end of it; then you get a big |tub ; and then you borrow a cow." An old farmer said to his sons. " Boys, don't you ever speckerlate, or wait for surnmat to turn up. You might just as well-go an' sit down on a in the middle of a meddar, with a pail atwixt your legs, an' wait for a cow to back iip to be milked." A Boston minister says he once preached on the recognition of friends in. the future world, and he was told after service by a hearer that it would be more to the point to preach about the recognition of friends here, as he had been in the church twenty years and did not know any of its members' It is related that when Beecher was in the country last summer he lost his hat, but found it in about a week in a barn where he had left it, but with four eggs m it. This is-w, it should be. Beecher had just written a eulogy on thehen ; and why shouldn't the'-Hen-re-ward Beecher ? A Connecticut farmer has named a rooster Robinson, because he crew so.
