No time for Reading. Go into the houses
of some of our farmers, and you find no
newspaper, no periodical of any kind. and
hardly a book. Ask such men 10 subscribe
for paper. and they will tell you that they
have no time TO read one. But who is SO
constantly employed as TO find no leisure for
the employment Of his mind Not the far,
mer for the long winter evenings afford
him a few hours every day. which he might
devote TO reading. Not the mechanic for
instances are frequent where the industrious
ar;izaus have attained an emiBence in the
sciences, merely by giving their leisure TO
study.
One Of the most eminent oriental scholars
of the age, is professor Lee, Of one of the En-
glish Universities, and yet all his education
was acquired during the moments OF leisure
which he found while employed as jour-
neyman carpenter.

THE MANY-IEADED wnEAr-The ma
ny-hcaded wheat is an indigenous plant OF
California; six heads of which was pro-
cured by Major Spering, from man in
the Usage nation of Indians, whohad been
trading in the Pacific ocean.
The six heads produced six hundred
grains, which were planted by Mr.. Al
pheus Baker, Abbeville, s. c., the pro-
duction of which was ten thousand heads.
The ground on which the wheat grew
was measured by an accurate surveyor
the heads counted and one head shelled
out, and the grain weighed, calculation
was then made, the result of which was,
that the wheat produced at the rate of
two hundred and thirty bushels to the
acre. 1t was planted about the last Of
January, and cut on the Goth of June.
The land on which it grew is poor and
sandy, was unassisted by manura.-

exposition so clear and complete, and SO
thoroughly sustained by evidence, PLAIN
and unqnestionable, would seem almost
impossible. The delivery, too, was n'Sh-
ly felicitous and effective, and especially
indicative of honesty and sincerity in the
speaker; and though the address occupied
the entire sitting, Of about three hours or
upward, we have never seen one more al
,entircly listened to, or heartily apPl auded.
Indeed The interest, so far from tagging,
at anv moment, became continually stron-
ger, to the conclusion, when the general
exchange Of congratulations among the
hearers, evinced the highest qualification.

Land Side.at Ncw Orleans.-On the al
1ernoon of the 22d, large amount OF the
levee in the first municipality Sid into the
river. The Picayune says-"The land
sunk with sudden impetuosity, heavlng
fish into the air, and rocking such water
crafts as were in tho vicinity with all the
violence Of an ocean surge. The Bayou
Sara Wharf is completely swept away,
and all the timbers OF it, no twn Of which
remain together, and arc now moorcd in a
floating raft close up in the gap of the
broken levee. The damage extends along
the landing places two or three hundred
yards, and several other wharycs are
more or less Injured, some Of them rem
dered utterly useless. Deep cracks in the
Garth are seen nearly half way between
the former edge Of The lercc and the store
doors. No further danger, however, need
be apprehended, and though an Immense
expense will be required for the repairs,
the lcvec hereafter will no doubt be more
substantial than ever"

Extraordinary Luu CaSe.-Some

Extraordinary Lau Case.-Some 26
years ago, an Irishman married young
woman, his junior by Is years, in Liver
pool, England, and set up a tavern on a
large scale. A fine looking brawny fel-
low, fresh from the Green Isle," became
a lodger, and, in short time, made love
to the hostess, and prevailed upon her 10
elope to America. The lady, being the
fuctotum of the hotel, converted every
thing she could conveniently into cash,
and with her louer, and all the tangbles
that were portable, set sail for America,
leaving her husband with the empty house,
and, as she says, "to take charge of its
contents" The elopcmcnt was SO well
planned and executed, that her "whcrc-
abouts" was unknown for nearly Is years,
when her forsakcn lord obtained news Of
her arrival and marriage in this country
to her lover. A few days ago he arrived
here, and in a short time sought and found
his long lost wife. She Immediately drop
ped on her knees and renewed her allcgi-
ancc, and sworc that she would be his
again. Accordingly, she packed up her
goods, took several hundred dollars,
which her last husband had in the house,
and clopcd with her first husband. When
The last husband found out his position,
he commenced suit in the Supreme
Court last Saturday, and had the first
husband arrested for Grim. con. and Sc
duction.. The defendant was thrown IN
10 jail, and yesterday morning the parties
had friendly conference, quietly COM
pared notes, balanced accounts, discon-
1inued the suit, released the true husband,
and went into tippling hole and made
made mcrry-it being mutually agreed
that the first husband should have prece-
dence.--N. J. Sun,
