Easss^aaSiAiiMii' 



(From the London MelropoIinnO 

 COMFORT. 

 I'd like to have a little farm, 



And leave such scenes as these, 

 Where I could live without a care, 



Completely at my ease, 

 I'd like to have a pleasant house 



Upon my little farm. 

 Airy and cool in summer time ^ 



In winter close and warm. 



I'd like to have a little wife — 



I reckon I know who, 

 I'd like to have a little son -^ 



A little daughti r too ; 

 And when they 'd climb up on my knee 



I 'd like a little toy 

 To give my pretty little ajirl — 



Another to my boy. 



I 'd like to have a little chaise 



That we might take a ride, 

 I 'd like a little pony for 



My boy to jog beside. 

 I 'd lilfe to hnve a little cash, 



And owe no little debts; 

 There 's nothing in the world so much 



An easy temper frets. 



I should not like my wife to shake 



A broomstick at my head — 

 For then I might begin to think 



She did not love her Ned ; 

 But I should always like to see 



Her gentle as a dove ; 

 I should not like to have her scold — 



But be all joy and love. 



If I had these I would not ask 



For anything beside ; 

 I 'd be content thus smoothly through 



The tedious world to glide. 

 My little wife and I would then 



No earthly trouble see — 

 Surrounded by our little ones, 



How happy we would be ! 



Origin of Butterflies When Jupiter antl 



Juno's wedding was solemnized of old, the gods 

 were all invited to the feast, and many noblemen 

 besides. Among the rest caiiie Crysalii.s, a Peisian 

 prince bravely attired and rich in golden attires, in 

 gay robes, with majestical presence, — but other- 

 wise an ass. The gods seeing him come in stirh 

 I onip and state, rose up to give him place ; but 

 Jupiter, perceiving that he was a light, fantastic, 

 idle, fellow, turned him and his proud foIlQwers 

 into butterflies ; and so they continue, still, (for 

 aught I know to the contrary) roving about in 

 pied coats, and are called Cbrysaudes by the 

 wisesort of man — that is, golden outsides, drones, 

 flies, and of no worth. — Burlmi's Anatomy of 

 Melancholy. 



The Hartford Silk Factory flourishes., lb era 

 are about 100 looms, 60 of which are occupied by 

 pretty Yankee girls. The labor is light, the profits 

 of the company great, and the fair hand maiden 

 cheerful and contented. Success to the American 

 silk manufactories. — Conn. Aurora. 



Omnibus Ology, or a Utile advice. — 1. Never | 

 hail a galloping omnibus. Depend upon it tbe 

 driver would have no sort of objection to break 

 your neck, if lie could do it without detriment to 

 himself; and by emiloyiiig him you not only put 

 your neck in jeopardy, but you encourage cruelty 

 and ruffianism. 



2. Never hail an omnibus from the opposite side 

 of a crowded street ; inasmuch as by so doing you 

 cause him to cross through at least two lines of 

 other vehicles, to the great danger of life and 

 limb ; but place yourself on the left hand side of 

 the way in which yon want to go ; hail the omni- 

 bus which ison the same side, and yoii will be ta- 

 ken up in a tenth part of the time, an d without 

 risk to any body. 



3. When you have once got your bead inside 

 follow your nose steadily, (treading on as few 

 corns as possible in your progress) until you come 

 opposite the first vacant seat, into which let your- 

 self down gently and carefully ; instead of coming 

 down with a heavy squelch, as some great fat fog- 

 eys will do, to the exceeding great detriment of 

 all slight stitchery in X\\e costume of their neigh- 

 bors. 



4. Being safely seated, keep your feel off tbe 

 seats; even if there should be plenty of room for 

 them. People who ride in omnibuses don't like 

 to sit upon the floor mats, whatever the company 

 at the dress circles at the theatres may do. 



5. Never stare the women out of countenance; 

 or put a girl to the blush merely because she can- 

 not get out of the way of your stu[iid gaze. If you 

 must stare, stare at a man; and then if he don't 

 like it be can take hold of the handle of your face 

 and turn it another way. 



6. If you bring a dog with yoti, let him be of 

 the smallest possible dimensions; keep him tight- 

 ly between your own knees; and hold his nose 

 fast. It is a fact tlint many people have a decid- 

 ed objection to dying of hydrophobia. 



7. However fond you may he of poking your 

 rose through a window, don't open that at the 

 front of an omnibus, lest while you are airing your 

 .•nose you give each of your neighbors a ''crick in 

 the neck." A " crick in the neck " often ends 

 in sore throat, and a sore throat in death ; and 

 death sometimes produces dismal consequen- 

 ces. 



8. Never turn up your nose at your fellow-pas- 

 sengers; but whenever you feel your gorge rising 

 at their humble condition, recollect that they pay the 

 same fare as you do, and that all of you are trav- 

 elling at the humble price of one penny per mile. 



9. Don't spit upon the straw — it is a nasty 

 trick ; and take care never to blow your nose 

 with such energy as to startle your fellow travel- 

 lers. From the energy employed in the opera- 

 tion they might draw unfavorable inferences as to 

 its cx)nditjon, 



10. When you are about to alight have your 

 money ready in the exact coin ; the conductor is 

 not a hanker that he should giv ; you change. 

 Have your money ready bctwi.\t your thumb and 

 finger ; for it is unreasonable to keep ten or 

 twelve persons waiting whilst you are rummaging 

 every po.ssible pocket about you for a little expe- 

 rience. 



11. In alighting get off the steps as soon as 

 you can, lest they should go away from un- 

 der you and throw your nose in the mud afore- 

 said.

COCOONS AND RA'W SILK. 



The Northampton Silk Company, will p.ny Cash for Cocoor : 

 and liaw^lilk ai their Establishment at Ihe Oil Mill Place al 

 Northampton. 



The Cocoons should be sirpped of the flrss, and placed in 

 the suH three or four days in succession, to destroy the < 'hrys- 

 ahs, a-id should not be packed for transportation till they have 

 been gathered ^^lree weeks. If ihey are put up bolore well 

 cured, the damp ness from the dead Chrysalis wil. caiiyc tliem 

 to heat and render them useless. They should be carefully 

 packed in dry boxes or barrels — not pressed but shaken down. 

 The Company will contract for any quantity to U'.OOO bushels, 

 to be delivered in good order at ISorthamfiiiin The price 

 will be regulated according to quality. Cultivators should be 

 aware that a loss of fifty per cent is often made, by want of 

 attention in feeding. Consequently the price will vary — from 

 g2 50 to g6 00 per bushel wil/ be paid. It is tbe intention ol 

 the conipany, that this shall be a permanent market for Co- 

 coons and Raw Silk. Cocoons will be purchased by the 

 pound, as soon as the necessary experiments have been made, 

 lo regulate the price according to the age ot the Cocoons, as 

 it is well known, that they become gradually lighter .'or several 

 months, tillall moisture is evaporated. Cultivators in Ver- 

 mont and New Hampshire will find it convenient to forward 

 Cocoons by the River Boats.
