Caution. — "Let everyone lake heed to his ways ; 

 for a man may gel a broken head innre ways than one." 



So said a respuctable looking farmer, that passed along 

 jown Beacon Street. Ho had just picked liimself up, 

 [having slipped down upon the side-walk,) and was 

 Tudging along with his goad-stick in his hand, when 

 lown came a load of snow from the house top, and laid 

 lim flat agiiin ! " Things seem to be falling," he ex- 

 daimed again, as he shook himself and turned away. 



Aberkethvs Advice to a Yankek. — " I never saw 

 I Vankee that did'nt holt his food whole like a boacon- 

 Irictor. How can you expect to digest food that you do 

 lot lake the trouble to masticate.'' It's no wonder you 

 ose your teeth, for you never use them ; nor your di- 

 ;eslion, for you overload it; nor 3'our saliva, for you 

 xpend it on the carpels instead of your food. You Yan- 

 ees load your stomachs as a Devonshire man does his 

 art, as full as it can hold, and as fast as he can pilch it 

 1 with a dung-fork, and drive off', and then you corn- 

 lain that such a load of compost is too licnvy for you. 

 '11 tell you whal, take half the lime Ift eai, that you do 

 ) drawl, chew your food half as much as you do your 

 Ithy tobacco, and you 'II be well in a month." 



Api'Les to Keep — When there is a frost all that you 

 avo to do is to keep the apples in a stale of perfect 

 iirknes's until a thaw h:is taken place. }f they ihaw in 

 arkness, they not only do not rol, but lose very little 

 "their original flavor. — Ohio paper.
