One evening it was on lmanl the English ateamar Solent a nephew of my old friend was sitting by my side.

" UIa.1614, nring'tbe great war- in France, M. Jean Bernard hasrjrachcabhis fiflceiith jearo He was livhigin Kaney with' his mother. His fath er, had. been killed in Leipsir, .and Jiia eldest brother, a captain in tbe young guards, was oue ofthe7T),000 heroes w ho disputed, step by step, the march of the allies on the soil of France, w hose success lay in their numbers alone. It was a rainy day, at tho end of February. The Prussians, lx-aten the night before by Xiiki leon, fled toward Nancy, ami traversed hastily the almost deserted stieetsof the town. Wnrii out aud covered with mud, they formed on the. Sublic place in front ef the Hotel tie Ville. Sull enly, there, was heard the, gallon of ajworeif horsepahiers,'Jlui3ing 90flluttupiin. Ilieir heads to" look back, loaded tlieir.guns. They felt that they were punned Wv the terrible cui rassiers who bad passed their lines on the night before. ' "They are afraid!" ensd a young boy, who was one of tbe small crowd of citizenslooking on. -A-burly captain, with a grizzly moustache aud an athletic form, heard the remark, looked, the boy in the face, and advanced toward him. My , pld friend the young boy I mean turned very ' pale, but doubled np his fists and awaited his coming. The colossal Prussian stepped np, seiz ed the boy by tbe throat, slapped his face and threw' him to the ground. This revenge accom plished, he lengthened out hia step to regain his already retreating company. Tha young Frenchman jnmped quickly to his fet livid, breathless, mad with rage threw himself upon one of the retreating grenadiers vrith an effort to disarm him. lie was quickly thrown to tbe grouud, trampled under foot, and wonnded in the breast with a sabre. The enri- pus crowd that bad-gathered fled in a state of consternation wnen tne irouoie oegan, ana me enemy was already out of town when young Ber nard, fn his paroxysm of rage, was still fighting jn his own blood with an imaginary foe. He was picked np and carried borne. A brain fever placed his days and bis reason in danger, and it took all a mother's care to bring him back to life- He never sjioke of this adventure, which he seemed to have forgotten, and everybody was careful not to recall it. Hi character was visi bly affected; from frankness ant joyousuess he had become taciturn, and when he was particu larly happy, he contented himself with simply smiling.. After the year 1815, Jean Bernard was placed in a bank, while his brother renounced the pro fession of arms, and bought 'him a farm in the neighborhood of Mulun. Ill There was a heavy storm in Mayence on the 21st of November, 1822, raining from 6 o'clock in the morning npttl midnight. Toward 8 o'clock in tbe evening of that day, Major Hasner, of the Prussian army, was dancing his little girl upon his knee, giving her his mopstaebe to pull, and listening to-the recital of her prayers. After re ceiving several of those big, childlike kisses that resounded to charminclr. he laid 'her down in her little cradle. As soon as M'lle, Charlotte had j closed her eyes, her mother, rocking her, and . Muging softly one of those little Inllabies that can be traced eveu to the savages, the officer went into the parlor, where his mother sat wait ing for him. He kissed her forehead in sincere filial affection, then walked np and dawn the long room several times, baiting finally before a window, to look out upon tbe gleam of light that stretched from the parlor candles upon the wet sidewalk. A graceful yonng woman, one finger on her lips, and stepping lightly ont f the room where her little girl had fallen asleep, approached the dreamer, who, thongh he had just been promot ed to a majority, still wore hiscaptaiu's uniform. "What are yon dreaming of, Frederick," she asked, as she leaned her bead against her hus band's shoulder. "Of yon, Martha," he answered, as he reached ont his arm to draw her toward bim. "Is it the rain that makes you feel so sadt" "No; but tbe prospect of pa-wlng my evening at tbe inn, when it would lie so much pleai-anter for me to stay at home with yon." " "Then, why do yon go f" "You forget, my dear, that my old friends, Weisch and Boggier, have offered me a punch for to-night, n huh we are. to drink iu honor of niv promotion." "Can't I ro with von!'-' "No," answered flm major, who couldn't keep from laughingat the idea of seeing hisMartha en ter the bar room of an inn. "Then they don't allow women in yonr miser able old tavem!" "It is they who refuse to come- At least, that was tbe way of it when I was lieutenant. Since then, Martha, I ha ve7 been with jou so mnuh, that I don't know whether tbere'has been any change or not." "Theii go quick, ro that yon can come liark all the sooner," said the .umng wife, as she disen gager herself from her husband's arms." Major Hasner, who bad now reached his thirty-fourth year, was one of the most promising officers of the Prussian army. His character was mild, and his regular features carried an expres sion that was rather melaiicholy than otherwise. He threw his great army coat almnt him, button ed it up, looked out of the window, and then came b.uk and sat dtin u opNMito bis mother and beside his wife. Martha li.nl in her hand one of M'lle. Charlotte's little ribbons, which that young lady was probably dreaming of at that lllolllellt. " Come, go on, now, and let mn have this sofa all alone," said his wife, who saw bis hesitation, and wished to help him out of it. .She received another kiss, aud the major, af ter having traversed the room threeor four times with measured tread, bade his mother "good night." With a sigh he stopied a nn ment Ik-fore the door of the lied-chamber, to hear the regular breathing of his child, aud then went away. There was still a fine drizzling rain outside. It was quite a distance lietweeii the major's bouse and the cafe Anx Amies de Ilraudenburg, vvbiih was situated near the cathedral. " Dev il take Ilnggler and Weisch for breaking in iihii my habitsiu such weather as this," mut tered the officer, as he felt the rain iu bis face. There was a time when the rain would not hare made milch difference to bim; and then bn would have been equally indifferent bow late he remained at the. tat cm. lint that was when he was a lieutenant, when he was in France, when his mother was far uuay, and before he knew Martha. Tbe major was late in arriving, and bis ap pearance was received with the most respectful salutation from his subordinates, and a hearty thake of tho hand of his friends. - The veteran Huggler, who had lieen the first to arrive, had taken the largest table in the mom. He broke out iu hnrr&hs when he. saw his companion eiiterthe room. Hasuer had serv ed under his command, and he was delighted at his promotion. AstoWeiMh, be arose, spread out his mouth, nudhisgie.it porcelain pipe vi brated iu the air as it hung for a moment be tween bis teeth, a post it never left except to Is. lillvd agaiu. IV. Although Mayence in 1822 contained a federal garrison, thn cafe Anx Amies de Brandengnrg was frequented only by Prussian officers. The jokes of his two friends aud tie congratulations of evervbisly soon drove away the major's bad humor. They all went back tothe battle field. The recollections of the past were revived, while the piimh was brewing under the personal su perintendence of the captain, who had very wil lingly taken charge of this feature of tbe even ings entertainment. Suddenly the door opened as if it bad leeu hurst iu by the wind, and a gnst of damp air ag itated the dense clouds of smoke frtnu the pipes and made the lamps flicker. A jouug man, vv rapped in a rloak, entered the. room. His eyes, of a soliergray, took a rapid sweep of all around him. He seemed to hesitate as to where be should sit down first went townnl twoold mous taches that were engaged in a game of chess, then by a sudden change of rctsilutioii, took his place at the table where Major Hastier was. The citizens of Mav elico v ery rarely visited the cafe Aux Amies de Brandenburg ituless accom panied by ail officer. There was a silence at all the tables for tho purptise of inspecting the new comer, who threw bnik the wet collar of his cloak and let it fall upon the chair. Light-com-plexioned, pale, and with a new-born mustache covering hisupier lip, he saidcurtly to the wait er who asked linn what be would have: " Brand.v , lieer, anything yon like." The conversation, thus interrupted for n mo ment, was taken up again, aud the waiter placed a glas before the stranger. Gentlemen, aid tbe latter, as he turned to the officers who were watching the process of the punch, "which of ,v on speaks French f" i-I know something of tbo language," answer ed Major Hasner, as he arose; "in what way can I Im of service toyouf" Tbe young man looked into the calm face be fore him for a moment, then shut his eyes and pressed one of his hands to his breast, as if be were iu pain. "I beg yonr pardon," he added, in a trembling voice, a moment after, "bnt are not these" and 1m pointed to tbe epaulettes on thn major's shoul ders "are not these the insignia of a captain iu Ihe Prussian array I" Hasuer bad scarcely answered in the affirma tive, when, having noticed the rapid movement of the mau's arm, he felt a blow in the face All tbe officers jnniped up at once and snrronn tied the Frenchman, who held himself at bay against tbe wall. Hasner was about to fall nit on bim, when his friends Weisch and Boggier seized him aud hld him off. Then a bottle was hurled at the head of the stranger by one of tbe officers, and broke with a crash against the wall. "Hold, gen tlemeu," cried Hasner: "thia affair is mine." He then stepped in front of tbe man. who had insnlted him, as if be feared that the latter was going to run away. " 1 do not know yon," he said, after looking at the Frenchman a moment. "Six years ago," replied the other, "one of yonr countrymen, a captain like yon, slapped my face ou the public square of my native town. I tried to avenge myself, and I was thrown to the ground, beaten and wounded by his soldiers. I always felt that blow until a moment ago, and I only awaited the death of mother to demand sat isfaction for it. I arrived in this town this even ing, and I addnissed myself to yon that is, to a man, not a child. A murmur arose among the officers, but the major suppressed it. "lam innocent of the ont rage that was com mitted upon yon, monsieur," he said, raising his head sadly; "I would not hare struck a child any more than yon, believe me. Yon have no mother so much the lietter, far yon have placed me under tho necessity of killing you. My friends," added the major, tuning to Weiech and Baggier, ''I leave the arrangement of every thing to you." The next day, abont 8 o'clock in the morning, a post chaise earned M. Jean Bernard on his wav back to France. At the same boar Weisch and Buggler carried to Martha the inanimate corpse of her husband killed without having bad tin ever to pnton hia major's anifarm." "My oacle," continued the yonng man who had told me this sad story, "whose good heart and fair dealings yon know as well aa soy ene, learned only too late that be whom he had in snlted had mother, a wife, a child, and was no longer a captain. He has never ceased to think of the orphan. And now you know why he nev er laughs. . gtercltou. U1.T9 DOC TRAY. The morn of life i, put.

A Pittsburgh paper says that for the past four months the prisoners con linn I iu the jail at Un iontown have contended that that institution was hantitcd; that peculiar sounds have been beard every night, after the lights had been ex tinguished, and the prisoners were all locked np in their cells. Tbo inmates declare that when the town clock strikes twelveaghost commences its nightly rounds through tbe jail. First they will hear something like a person walking over the iron grating that extends over the entire inside of the jail over the cells. The ghost drags a chain over this grating, making a peculiar noise. They then will hear one end of it drop to the pavement beneath, ami hear the ghost fasten the other end of it to the iron bars above. When fastened, it descends the chain, rattling it terrif ically after it gets down. It then walks around the jail outside where the prisoners are permit ted to exercise themselves ill the daytime. The floor of the jail is composed entirely of iron. The ghost drags a chain over the floor and rattles it furiously. After making soeroing thorough inspec tion of this matter, the ghost unlocks the door and enters the inside of the grating that sur rounds the cells. First it goes up the iron stairs to tbe upper tier of cells, dragging the chains after it. It goes to every cell that contains a prisoner, takes bold of the bars and rattles the dour furiously. After making the rounds of tbe upper cells, it descends to tbe lower tier and goes through the same actions, always dragging the cliain after it. The prisoners nil being interro gated by the sheriff or his deputies, declare that il is not imagination, but that a ghost docs reallv visit them every night just after the town clock strikes twelve. It stajs just long enough to go through the actions spoken of above; then it gis?s to lh cliain suspended from the iron bars above the floor, rattling it furiously, ascends, draws the chain up, walks over the bars, and nothing more is heard of it till twelve the next uiirht. The prisoners confined iu theircells have often spoken to It. but reueivtd no answers to?. tlitiir questions, i ins state ot attaint lias created a great deal of excitement about the court house. Sheriff Messmore and his deputies bavo kept the thing quiet for a long time, thinking that it was a story gotten np by the prisoners in tinier to have a light kept burning in the jail nil night. But burning a light iu the jail did not have the effect to stop the ghostly visits. It made its nightly visits regularly, and although the pris oners could not see any person w ho would pre sent themselves before their cell door, the ghost would come, rattling hischains more furious than ever, go to the cell tlnors and rattle them as thotish he would tear them from their fastenings, and then depart aa usual. The thing is getting to lie quite a serious matter, bnt we have not heard j et w hat action the sheriff will take to get rid of this ghostly visitor. iai WauuaiattOB's Malary. We published a day or two since, says the Washington Chronicle, a quotation from Wash ington's inaugural address. Its import was mis understood or perverted by the Chicago Timet. The records of the Treasury show what General Washington did in the matter of compensation. He was sworn in on the 30th of April, 1789, and it is presumed delivered the inaugural address, of which the almvo formed a portion, on that oc casion. No mouey could be drawn from the Treasury to pay his salary during the Summer ofl7s9, ("or there was no Treasnry in existence, and no appropriation acts had been passed. The Treasury Department was created bv an act of the 2d of September, 179. On the 24th of September (Jeorge Washington approved an act which gave him $25,000 aud the Nice-President $.',000 tier annum. Cn the Vo'th of the same month he received from the Treasury, by war rant No. 75, $1,000, and this money was the first ever paid to any erson by tbe present Govern ment of the United States. He continued to draw his salary with the praiseworthy punctual ity which was so remarkable a feature of his character. T oto December 27, 1791, he received $72,150. On Hie 7th of March, 1797, he settled np his salary account, and tbe following entry ou tbe Treasury lxioks closed it: " Cin7 firpartmat. "For warrant No. 6,951, in favor of George Washington, President of the United States, be ing tbe balance due him for compensation to the 3d of Mnrrh, 1797, agreeably to a certificate of tho Comptroller of the Treasnry, $5." AH warrants drawn previous to warrant No. 75, mentioned above, were drawn to pay mem Iters and Senators of Congress, bnt they did not get their money until three days after the Presi dent was paid. AFrozkx Wasp. The question, "will wasps freeze I" has been decided by a Peoria man, who found one in a frozen nest one day last week, ami took the insect to the house, and held it by the tail while be wanned its ears over a gas jet. Yon wonhln't believe it, bnt tbo Peoria natural ist says its tail thawed out first, and while its lirad was so stiff and icy it eonldu't wink, its "probe" worked with inconceivable rapidity, to tbe great distress of the minister who was pres ent, who wan dreadfully distressed by the hide ous profanity consequent on each and every movement of the probe aforesaid. Oxe Hcxdred years ago there were in all America only two Methodists, Philip Embury and Barbara Heck. They were the founders of Methodism in this country. Now, there are twenty bishops, seventeen thousand ministers, twenty-seven thonsantl local preachers, Sunday school teachers, tfcc, two million communicants, nineteen thnnsand churches, two hundred colle ges and academies, and twenty book stores. These figures show to what a mighty power Methodism has grown in one hnntlred years. Is the year 1100 lived in Kent, England, Eliza and Mary Cnlkhnrst, who were joined together after tbe manner of the Siamese twins. Their will ordered that the income given by tbe lands of which they died possessed should be perpetu ally applied to tbe distribution of an annual dole of cakes and cheese. A few days ago the church wardens of tbe parish -made tbe distribution for this year. The cakes are made of flour and wa ter, and bear tbe date 1100, together with tbe imprinted effigies ofhe sisters.

The year 1842 was marked by the sndden rise, and 1843 by the fall of the Millerites, a sect who had been deluded with tbe notion that the Lord Jesus Christ wonhl come in visible person on a certain day in the latter jear to receive his saints, to destroy his enemies, and establish his throne on the earth. They took their name from William Miller, a Baptist minister in the north ern part ofthis State, who bad studied the proph ecies until he knew nothing about them, ami by a process in arithmetic peculiar to himself had hit upon the ) ear when the final catastrophe was to occur to the confusion of the wicked and the glorification of all who were fon ml waiting for the coming of the Eord. It was wonderful with what avidity this delusion waa received. Its dupes nnmbered thoauttJs. They were not of the more intelligent eIassrY indeed very few ed ucated people were led astray; bnt of serions minded and unlettered multitudes who eomHsed the great mass of the community at that time. The sndden converts to Millerism were many. One reason that opperated rapidly upon this sort of ieopIe was the shortness of time allowed them to make np their minds. They were told that the end was at hand. First tbe yrar was fixed; then the month and the day. And to make a sure thing of it, they thought the safest course was to Mine, and if the crash came at the ap)oiufcil time they wonld If all right, and if it did not they would be no vv orse nff than. Is-forti on t.e eonnt of their faith iu the figures of Miller. Aud I am inclined to think that Miller's name having an apparent analogy to Milleiiariaism helped to faith in his ralcnl itions. Thousands of excellent Christian men, nliolars, divines some of them men or wide repute for learning anil leligiou ure Millenarians; believing in the future personal reign uf Jesus Christ upon tho earth, and iu bis speedy coining to set up bis throne. But they tin not set tbe time. Stum writers of this school have found ill the figures of Ihe Prophet Daniel it starting point and a period, ami hive.lheri-l'ore. venturetl to nx the year when tile King liuglit ins t expected to apiear ill bis glory; but mull siitb cases the march of time has eompcll.fi them to ' find errors in their calculations by which the! great event was necessarily HstHtiieiI. I Bnt in the Milleriteyear the delusion took the ! e.. .. ..e- :a : .. ..-..: ft... i t..- ..e.i... I nil ill ui mi t-joui-noi ! iiiiiic. a lie ii-iioris in loo sect perambulated country with immense teuis in which to hold public meetings, and these were crowded fordajs ami nights iu succession by ex cited congregations, whose prayrrs and songs and cries bordered ou the delirious. Many did become deranged. Lunatic asvjums resirted this delu sion as tho cause sf insanity iu many cases. One night, very late, a man came to me vvitli a message from God that I must believe in tbe speedy Advent, and teach it to the people. He would uut be nut off. with the excuse that it was nearly midnight, and I could not listen to his dis cnurse at such an unseasonable hour. He said that nothing was so imHtrtan as the revelation be had come to make, and that it was high time I heard it. Then ho began with bis figures. He added, subtracted and divided, liiletl np dates from history and prophecy, told of the "abomina tion of desolation" that was to be set up and that was set up, and started off from that date and calculated tho downfall of the tinman Empire and the death of Napoleon, ami brought out 1813 as neatly as the most a curate mathematician could desire. Out of breath at tbu end of his com putation, and triumphing in the result, he de manded my assent to his conclusion. I looked up at bim and quietly asked, "And what do you make of the tno sticks f" "Pticl.-ivwl.at slicksf IJfsaid. "Well, sir," I replied, "if yon are an expositor of the prophecies, and do not know the two sticks of which the prophet speaks, yon must excuse me from receiving an v messages from you as com ing from heaven." He soon left me to my fate. Some of the societies were so sure the end was at hand, that they put their individual osscs sions, which were usually very slender, into joint stock, in imitation of tbe early Christians who had "all things common." Iu Oncdia County, N. Y., a well to-do fanner beta" converted to their doc trine, came to join their church, and, on being told of this rule, said he would think of it aw bile, and pray over it. He weut away sorrowful, for he was very rich. At the next meeting he appear ed, and upon being called upon for his answer, he said he had received a message from heaveu and was prepared to obey. "While engaged iu prayer for divine direction," said be, "I have had one passage of the Bible so powerfully impressed upon my mind that I know it is from God, and I shall do as I am commanded." The brethren aud sisters 'were in breathless ex pectation of the trcuiendoii sacrifice he was about to make. The elder bade him be of good courage, and declare the message. And the rich man said: "The passage that came to my mind, and which I am resolved to obey, was iu these words, 'Occurr tili. I Comk.'" And when tbe appointed time arrived, thou sands of them were ready, as far as their white raiment conld lie regarded as readiness for such an event. So purely carnal and earthly were all their views of this great spiritual change, that they made liuen garments called "Ascension robes," with which tbcynrrayed themselves. Some of them, iu cities, took their seats niton tho edge of the honse-tops. Others, in thn country, ascend ed hills, or cliuibcd into trees, ami sat as patient ly as possible, while their locks were wet with the dews f the night. They thought they would see tbe Lord descending from the sky, and that they would rise to meet bim in the air. It was easy to believe that a mistake of a day, or even of a month, had bveu niado in recoiling thousands of years, and many, therefore thought the advent was still at baud, though they had not hit npou the identical day. Others gave up to wild ties pair. Many were made faithless in Scripture, when they found they hail been duped by false teachers. I never heard that any were made more charitable, more patient, humble Christians. Tho prominent trait of character in the Millerites was their censorious and deuueiatory spirit to ward those who would unt adopt their arithme tic. Bnt their end came when they thought the world was coming to au end. Tbe awful day came. Tbe snn rose, shone aa usual, and jnst aa it was in the habit of doing.

Ex-Governor Donnelly, of Minnesota, recently delivered a v igoraus address before a "grange" of husbandmen at Hastings. He told them truths v hich onght to lie known and understood of all men who are going daily lower on the downhill side of prosperity, as the victims of the laws made to enriih and "protect" pirates aud piracy. He read a paper signed by the principal merch ants iu Hastings, iu which they stated that "the amount of purchases made by farmers has fallen off during the last five years from one-third to our half; that is to say, the farmers are evident ly economizing in every way, making smaller bills, and billing only the necessaries of life." This, of course, is one of tho proofs and conse quences of steady, declining prosperity. What it the cause of it f The speakersaid, with no less triiiii man lorce: " unjust laws nave driven tbo farmers of the whole country to the wall, and diminished their means of existence one-third or one-half. This, of i-onrse, signifies a shrinkage ef tbo entire business of Ihe country to the same extent. The laws of thecoiiutry and the monop oly power they create and protect, have been bent to iniMiverish the people, ami now they be gin to feel that they have killed tbe goose that laid the golden eggs." When will our farmers begin to consider the operation of these new slave laws? Here area lew sign ill cant tacts: A sewing machine costs for the work antl ma terial $12. We pay $70 for it. The same ma chines are exported to Europe and sold for $3.!, after paying freight across the Atlantic. I found in the Belfast -Yeirs, of December 4. Ie73, the ad vertisement of the Singer Sewing machine for 71 10s, ultout $32.50 of our enrrency. We pay the difference, of nearly $40, under our patent laws, for being the most patient and gullible fools that ever pretended to a capacity of self-gsvernment. McConuiek gave evidence ill a law-suit, recent ly, that his reapers cost $50 to manufacture. We pay nearly $-JW for them. The threshing machines, fur which we pay$700, could, 1 am informed, lie built fur $100. And su of ul I other implements. Ill part," this is the effect of our nnjntt patent laws; in part, it is the effect of the purchasing mvv er of wraith amassed by means of those laws tipoii venal congressmen; and, in part, it is tbe effect of that robber device called a protective t.inir, which binds men hand ami foot in this "land of liberty" in tho power of tbe ptotectetl niniiojHiIist. The Englishman b.-ls free traV, be, therefore ran buy an American Sewing Machine for $.12, while the Ameriran living next door to the "protected" manufacture, must pay inure than double that sum. What is ro hinder the American from ordering his American made sew ing machine from Belfast, and after paying freight on it tw ice across the Atlantic ocean, get ting it for one-half the1 price which he would bo compelled to pay to his neighbor tbe manufact urer! Why should American laws thus place American citizens at a disadvantage to Her Maj esty's subjects in an American market f Who can say there is justice in such laws to enslave Americans in their owu country T So, too, of reaping machines. Art Illinois far mer could seud to England, bny a McCormick's reaper, and have it shipped across the Atlantic and half way serosa the continent to his farm, for half the money ho must pay to BossMcCor mick fur tbe same machine lint for whatf Why, but for the fact that onr blessed Father at Wash ington deems it necessary to "protect" poor, straggling, jKiverty-stricken Boss McCormick. Such are the artificial profits which the "pro tected" nionowIists enjoys under the parental care of our Great Father. Where are the farm er's artificial profits! His produce is as low aa before tbe war, while everything he bnys aud every expense be innst meet are at war prices, thanks to the blessed "protective system." Sajs au Iowa paper: . "A farmer would cheerfully self hia pork at $2.75 or $3 per hundred, if cotton aud woolen gotiQs, salt and other articles which he buys were at proportionate rates; bnt they are not. So a farmer comes to town and pnts two loads of potatoes on his feet in the shape ot his winter boots. If he stays, all night he will eat a load of oats. His wife wears five acres of wheat, and the children each ten acres of corn, and are not very warmly clad then. For an overcoat he wears n good four-year-old steer, and if he sports a Sunday suit it is iu the shape of at least twen ty fat bogs. And. on top of that, bis farm wears a mortgage that is worse than bard-pan to the soil, ami tbe auuual tax rota iuto his roof worse than rain." Another journal says: " Iu driving through this County, we see ma ny farms that are unoccupied, uncultivated, and apparently going to rnin; many others occupied by tenants whose gineral sqnalulness indicates a close scramble with the necessity of existence; some of them occupying houses which are even nnlit for the shelter of cattle during the storms of Winter. If yon inquire who owns this farm, yon wilLbeanswrrctl: Such a man did own it, tint he has gone ont West. When he came to this country from tbe East he had sufficient money to buy aud almost stock his farm, but he either Imugbt a machine or borrowed a little money to buy a span of horses. All he could make fnun bis farm would not pay the interest on tbe smu Imrrowed, aud keep his family." -ea-osBi m Calaail J. lacarieX. auMl Wkm ttm JHase aalla UlUlake.

A recent circolarof the lumbermen of Pennsyl vania estimate tbe nomtier of railroad ties in present use in the' United States at 150,000,000. A cut of 200 ties to the acre is above rather than tinder the average, and it therefore ha required tbe product of 750,000 acre of well-timbered land to furnish thw suawly. Railroad ties last abont five years, comequently 30,000,000 ties are used aunnally forrepaira, taking the timber from 150,000 acres. The" manufacture of rolling stock dispose of tho satire yield of 350,000 aero, and full supply of nearly 500,000 acres more every year. It appears, then, that onr railroads are tripping tbe country at the rata of 1,080,000 acres .per, anaa m, ml tsrirrirmaaal aaa masaily increasing. A competent anthority estimates that the se lect timber from ISO acres i employed every dsy, or at tbe rate of (15,000 acres per anunm, in ship building, iuclnding steaaiboat-building. A it Is well understood that the advancing price of coal is causing a revival of wooden ship-building, tbia demand must also increase. The circular above referred to makes a careful calculation of the area of timber lands antl the average yield per acre, and cornea to tbe alarm ing conclusion that'three years' stocking at the present rate will entirely exhaust tbe lumber now standing in Pennsylvania. A similar state of things may be shown ill all the forest districts heretofore furnishiug lumber, except tbst the re moter regions of Maine aud Michigan will bold out a few years longer. Far-sighted lninbernran are already looking with anxious interest to the last two belts of primeval forest within our bor ders, which are of sufficient extent to bo consid ered as national sources of supply. These are the magnificent pineries of the Upper Mississip pi, lying mainly in Minnesota, and tbe immense growth of our North Pacific coast, iu Wasbiugtou Territory. The lumber trade of Minnesota now amannta to 3,000,000,000 feet per anuuai; bnt as even this enormous cutting is supposed only to keep pace witb tbe annual growth, this vast reserve may be said to be almost virtnally intact. These Mis sissippi pineries extend from the headwaters of the great river, easrward to tbe Meutreal River in Wisconsin, occupying nearly all of Northeast ern Minnesota and iart of North western Wiscon sin, and covering an area of abont 30,000 square miles. Here will undoubtedly be the seat of our domestic lumber trade for tbe next fifty years. Onr sbip builders lunst, and indeed already do, depend largely on Ihe timber of Washington Ter ritory. The giganlie pines, firs, and cedars of that region are becoming known tbe world over, and vessels from every qnarter sf the globe load iu Pnget Sound. The following, from the pen of the Hon. William A. Howard. Land Commission er of tbe Northern Pacific Railroad, gives a des cription of the mighty tree fonnd abont the wa ters where tne western teruiiuns of the read will be located: "There is more lumber around Pnget Sound than ever I saw before. There is oue channel, called Hood's canal, that seems to run from Port Townsend, sixty or seventy miles towanl the Columbia River, and perhaps not averaging aver half a mile wide, and if one-half of what the peo ple said about the timber growing there was true, and it was here in the market, it wonld build the northern Pacific road. The timber is fir and pine. There are three kinds, tbe white, yellow, and the red, the red predominating. It ban a coarse grain, morelike hemlock, but is free from knots, and the wood between the seams, that separates tbe layers, is of a red color, and soft. "This kind of tree grew to an enormous size. Indeed, all that the timber-thieve there think of, and exert their ingenuity for, is to find traes small enough to handle to advantage, not liking to grapple with big ones. We went through a portion ofthis forest when we went toOlympia by stage, and it waa very rare to find a tree as small as three feet through at the butt. They were from five to six, seven; eight, and some times nine or ten feet through at the butt, and marveloiisly tall, some 250 feet high. "What would yon say instated that I saw a tree that would make an amount oflnmber more than the average for five acres in Michigan! Every one that ktiowapine lumber lands in Mich igan know that 10,060 feet I more than an aver age; taking the whole of the pine lands of the 8tate, perhaps 8,000 would be the fair average. At 10,000, five acres would hare 0,600 feet. "Now, suppose ws take a tree 10 feet through that onght to square 6 feet. Apiece ofsqoare timber 1 foot iu length would contain 36 cubic feet, or of board measure 433 feet. Suppose yon went on in that way nntil you had worked np 200 feet, yon wonld have 200 times 4X2 feet, that is, 86,400 feet, and. then yon have 70 or SO feet beyond that left. I saw there trees 10 feet through st the butt, sound aa they conld be, straight as an arrow, more than 250 feet high. It does not make very good finishing lumber, aa it is coarse. But all over there are enormous white cedars, which even grow on the islands, and which make very fine finishing lumber. I was told at Olvmpia that this white cedar brought 40 per l',000 feet at Portland." Washington Territory, west of the Cascade Mountains, eontstns sn area of 20,000 square miles, and mora than three-fourths of thia ia cov ered with such growth of timber as is here des cribed. The latterl Casajwrtlsi eaTTsmaa. Venn, which baa been so brilliant an evening star during tbe winter and spring months, reach ed, on tbe 8th insC, her inferior conjunction with the snn. She will pas between ns and tbe son, becoming invisible a the moon does at the time of the new moon; for her unenlightened side is turned toward ns in some manner. She will re appear on tbe Western side of the snn, and after a few day may be seen, for a short time before lunrise, as tbe morning star, taking on tbe form of a slender cresent when examined through the telescope. It i not, however, strictly tree tbst ah will Cass directly betweea a and tbe sua, as her or it is not on tbe same plane with that of the earth. During one-half of her coarse her orbit lies abont three degrees above the earth's orbit, and during the other half, aa far belew it. There fore, nnless her inferior conjunction takes place when she ia at or near one of her nodes, she will pass above or below the sun, and leave no sign of herpntgreaa, ss in the conjunction whieb tskes place to-day. Bnt after her nexKlofenor con junction, on tbe 8 of December, 1874, abo will be at her ascending node, and will theu appear to pass aa a black spot across tbe disk of the sun. This great astronomical phenomenon is called a transit of Venn.

CaHAPKB TBA!WBYAT9rr, The question of cheaper transportation fnvoivc a good many conditions wBich are not apparent ou the surface.

New England manufacturers see more than this in thi struggle. They note with some alarm that the gralu-prodneing West ia buying less and less of their manufactured good. and wares, and doing more manufacturing itself. By reason of tbe engulfing railway charges, com amf wheat are worth so little that tbe trainers mnst nerds economize. So they make tbeic own shoes, spin their own yarn, weave their own cloth, knit their own stockings, wear home-made caps instead of bnving hats; and thtrsy traronjgh the avarice of the Eastern railroads, the tranVoC the West I slowly but 'surely deserting New England. The farmers of the West cannot place their products in tbe hands of the Eastern cou snmera wilh any profit to themselves; thejr therefore decide that these mannfactnriitg cn sumers mnst come to the product or q,nlt more, nfreturing and go ta producing for themselves.
