those who have choice stock or other farm products 
for sale, as an advertising medium, is shown in the 
fact that all of its spare room is occupied the entire 
year, and yet its publishers claim never to solicit 
advertisements by circular or otliei wise. Its readers 
are among the most intelligent of our farmers in all 
sections of the country. $2.50 a year, weekly. 
“Our Deportment” is the title of a splendidly 
bound and printed volume of 424 pages, published 
by W. C. King & Co., Springfield, Mass. It treats 
upon all our social relations to our friends, families, 
and society in general, with articles upon manners, 
conduct, dress, conversation, education, &c. It also 
contains a short treatise upon letter writing as re¬ 
quired in the ordinary business of life, and includes 
forms of Notes and Invitations of all kinds as used in 
the best society. The author, Prof. John H. Yourig, 
has shown commendable wisdom in this compilation, 
and has made a book of more than ordinary value 
as compared with most books on etiquette, and 
worthy to be placed in the hands of boys and girls 
as well as older people. We are under obligations to 
Mr. Win. Brown, Agt. of Westfield, Mass., for a copy. 
A loving wife in Danbury, Conn., on the 
decease of her husband sent the following 
thrilling telegram to a distant friend: “Dear 
John is dead. Loss fully covered by in¬ 
surance.” 
We are told “the evening wore on,” but 
we are never told what the evening wore 
on that occasion. Was it the close of a 
summer’s sun? 
The best recipe for going through life 
with beautiful manners, is to feel that 
everybody, no matter how rich or how 
poor, needs all the kindness he can get from 
others in this world.”
