 are anxious to get their seed directly from the grower, and I 

 therefore offer free to every man and woman in the tjuiied 

 States who cultivates a farm, tills a vegetable garden, or 

 plants a flower garden, my large Illustrated Catalogue of 

 Vegetable and Flower Seeds for 1876; it contains, in addi- 

 tion to the choicest kinds produced in Europe, oiic hundred 

 and fifty varieties of vegetable seed grown on mi/fmtrserd 

 farmxif. Customers of last season need not write for it. As 

 the original introducer of the Hubbard, Marblehead and 

 Butman Squashes, Phinney's Melon, the Marblehead Cab- 

 bages, and a score of othra" new vegetables, I soiicit your 

 patronage . All seed sold under three warrants. A hundred 

 thousand catalogues will be issued and sent out the first of 

 January.

Wedding Anniversaries. 



A contributor to the Clilcaeo Fvening Journal,

In this connection, says the Journal, our corre-

 '■ fresh list of wedding anniversaries," which we find 

 in the New York f'uniintrfial Aflrertiner : 



A fresh list of weddings is called for, so how are

 suite.

 glass. 



Silver wedding — Marrying a gray-beard. 



Golden wedding — When the groom is a minor and 

 the bride a little vain.

 large. 



And here are some others:

Silver wedding — An end of " spooning."

WISDOM. 

 '* All tlies are very wise. 

 No one ever knows. 

 As he sits in a doze, 

 How much a fly knows 

 That alights on his nose, 

 'Till he levels his blows. 

 When away the tly goes." 



A RATIONAL QI ERY. 



Mrs. Meetington wants to know why it is that sea 

 captains do not make a record of the weight of their 

 anchors, -once for all, instead of weighing them every 

 time they leave Port. 



A VALUABLE DISCOVERT. 



Smithers has discovered a shoe belonging to the 

 foot of the Allegheny mountain. He found it in Tom 

 Thumb's waistcoat pocket. 



Ode to Autumn. 



The grasshopper creaks in the leary gloom, And 

 the bumble bee bumbleth the live-long day. But 

 where have they gone with the bran new broom ? And 

 what has been done to the buzz saw's play? 



Oh, its little he thinks of the cold mince pie, And 

 its little he reeks of the raw ice cream, For the dying 

 year with its tremulous sigh Shall waken the linger- 

 ing loon from his dream. 



0, list ! for the cricket now far and near, Shril- 

 fully singeth his roundelay; And the negligent noodle 

 his noisy cheer, And where the doodlebug eats the 

 hay. 



Oh, the buzz saw so busily buzzes the stick, .\nd 

 bumbling the bumble bee bumbleth his tune ; While 

 the crickets crickingly down at the creek. And the 

 Doodle calls noisily out, " It is noon I " 



The dog fennel sighs, " She is here ! she is here ! " 

 And the smart-weed saysdream'ly, " Give us a rest ! " 

 The hop vine speaks tenderly, "(Jive us a tieer," And 

 the jimson-wced hollers, " Oil, pull down your vest." 

 — Burlington Ilau-kcye. 



Young folks grow most when in love. It increases 

 their sighs wonderfully. 



It makes a great ditference whether glasses are 

 used over or under the nose. 



Anvbody can build a castle in the air, but it takes 

 more teau a genius to live in one. 



A Yankee editor, in his tinancial article, eays : 

 "Money is close, but not close enough to reach." 



First Irate Friend : " I'd hate to be In your 

 shoes." Second ditto : " You couldn't get in them." 



The fool seeketh to pick a fly from a mule's hind 

 leg — the wise man letteth the job out to the lowest 

 bidder. 



In New York, if a young man cheats at croquet, 

 the young ladies caress the flange of his ear with a 

 mallet.
