Ji-XiMyr' The other day Tom's father called uj)ot! the school committee, looking much like an injured and prosecuted man. Mark this: If a boy hVs every dny worse than Ananias and Sapprira, especially if it is about the school, his mother will believe every word of it.and And if his mother beli.ves it, of course his father will. So in comes Mr. Skinner, the injured father ''My son has been turned out of school, sir.' 'For what.?' 'Nothing in the world but missing a word. 'Indeed How do you ascertain ht 'lie t»a_vs so, and all the other child r.-n say so. 'All the other children' were two or three smaller ones, who had to bet Tom's echoes under penalty of stand ing inverted. 'Now, Mr. Skinner, I know a littk of Tom's antecedent probability. I was in the school two days ago, andometimes he didn't spell but one word right, and that one he guessed at. He won't study, and he sel lorn answers a ques tw rightly, except by accident.' 'Why, sir, he says he's got through most of his books.' 'Yes, sir, he gets through his books as a worm gets through an apple, or a rat g»ts through a meal-chest. lit digs through with his jack-knife.' 'Well, I an't unreasonable* I'm willing Tom should be punished bulhim, his mother don't want him turned out of school. We want him to have a good edieation. The teacher can whip him if it is necessary.' 'You seem to think, sir, it must be a great privilege to whip your boy.— It strikes me that that is asking a eood deal of a young lady, ami that such little jobs as those you ought to do yourself. Parents are bound to sen«» their children to the school-room in such condition that they will neither kick nor bite and if they neglectthe this duty they ought to forfeit their privileges.'

The Regularly Lttte. This gentleman may be expected to make his appearance jtt the door of the Sunday school, from five to tenquiries, minutes after tho exercises have com in, as if he had come on an important errand, which raliieh must bo attended to in great haste. He bounces into his seat, and salutes his scholars who are present which adds to the disturbance, he hasWe already made. He thtnKS it no matter whether lie comes late or early. It would put him to some extra trouble to arrive always in season. He thinks that his work does not suffer by his tar diness. He says he does'the best he can. If he is rebuked for his bad habit, he says that we are all sinners, that he will settle this matter with his God. He thinks it very unreason able in the Superintendent to begin the very minute the clock strikes.& A few minutes, grace should be allowed for the accommodation of ose who prefer to c»mo late. It is still more unreasonable for any body to find fault with him, or to suggest that he might break himself of this objectionable liabi:. lU can not see why those who suggest and find fault should not mind their own buisness, and let him alone.

[From the Chicago Tribune.] The numerous juquirics now bring made upon the subject of flax culture show that more general attention »|.«au.n SOIL. Flax prefers a rich sandy soil bnt will do well On any ground that is suit able for wheat or corn. The rolling prairies of the west are well adapted to it, and in ordinary dry seasons it does finely even on our flat prairies, though when such a wet season as the last occurs, it will prove a failure on them unless the land is un-the derdrained. Experience shows that the lands within forty miles of Chicago produce large crops of both seed and straw, numerous fields having yielded from fourteen to eighteen bushels the last year. The rolling country around Champaign, Decatur, Bloomington, Wilmington and almost the Western Northwest portion of this State, as also large tracts in Wisconsin, Minne sota and Iowa afford the best soil for flax. PRRP. RATION OP SOJL. All experienced farmers unite in in growing flax—i. e. thorough prep of the ground by plowing and harrowing." In most European coun tries it is sown as the first or fallow crop, where a system of rotation is adopted, and always followed by wheat. When this is done the land should be plowed the summer previous and then re-plowed as early in the spring as the weather will permit, and well harrowed before sowing, f. If heavy manuring is to be done, it will be better to put on cornfirst,and" then follow that with flax, in which case the land should be deeply plowed in the fall. In answer to our inquiries on this point a large majority of farm ers say, let il follow cern," and butw.H one objection is urged to it, which is, that the old roots and stalks of corn in with the close working of a machine in cutting it. If those are carefully removed, we should advise, in the language of our replies, it tollow corn,' with deep fall plowing, and then harrowing before sowing until the surface is thorough/.pulveriz ed aud made as smooth as possible. 80WIXG. As to the time of sowing, it will, of course, vary with the latitude and lo-worthless cality, but the general rule may becountry stated in the precise language of sev eral farmers—" as soon as the ground will admit of it In the .southern part of the State most of trie seed is sown as early as March in. the c.ntral counties about the first of April while in our northern Having prepared the ground as be fore stated, «ov broadcast, taking pains to distribute the seed as evenly AS possible.

COSTLY GENERALS. IT seems from a statement'.'famished, on request, by the Secreary of War, tp the Senate, that there are now five, major Qen erals and seventeen Brigadier Generals who are assigned to no duty and are doing noth ing. The five Major Generalsare, McCieilan Fremont, McDowell, Buell, and Cassius M. Clay. To'this list, we suppose may be added Gen. Busier and Gen Pope making seven Major Generals. The total monthly pay of these officera is $3,115, or $3r,380 per annum. The aggregate monthly pay the Brigadier Generals out of serviceis $5 091. 50, or £61,099 per annum. Grand total per annum $98 478. Of the Brigadier Generals mentioned by Mr. Stanton, Gen. Harney haa not been on duty since June, 1861—a loss to the Government of over $5,000 money. in addition to all this, if we should calculate t,me that has been wasted and lost away from duty, by general officers uot enumer ated by Secretary Stanton, it would ab pew that the publ.c strong box paysforau infinite deal ofservice due by the Military which is not rendered.
