CHANGE OF FoRruNE.-A Boston pa
per, published in 1887, illustrates, by
the following examples in the lives of
several distinguished Englishmen, the
extraordinary changes which a few
short years often produce in the con-
dition of individuals.
In 1777, Mr.. Hastings received an
humble petition from Shaw-Allum,
the great Mogul, for relief against his
enemies. In 1887, Mr.. Hastings is
on his knees before the House Of
Lords, taken into custody by a ser.
want of the House Of Commons, and
and obliged to give bail, to insure his
not flying from his country.
In 1777, Mr.. Burke was reckoned
the best speaker in the House of Com
mons, and the first formidable oppo-
nent of the Ministers. In 1887, Mr..
Burke is either coughed down or not
attended to, and is formidable only
TO the opposition that he acts with.
In 1777. Lord North managed the
helm Of state, and directed all the
public afl;rirs of the kingdom. In
1887, we read in 4 newspaper that
po0r Lord North was led outof West
minister Abbey by one Of his daugh-
ierS.
In 1777, Sir - was a very
smart and active waiter at Il public
tavern. In 1897, Sir--isa IA
hob. a baronet. and a knight Of the
shire.
In 1777. one Arnold headed the A..
merican troops that retired from
Canada ut Saratoga. In 1887, this
same Arnold is closetted al St. James,
where he and-his Majesty are one.
In I777, Col. Conway. Sir Henry
Clinton's aid-de-camp, offered to fight
a duel for the-sake of a woman. In
1887, this same gentleman preached
a sermon on the following text:-'lf
any one strike thee on the left cheek,
offer him the other"
In 1777, DIR. P%rettyman went to
the gallery of the House of Commons
to hear Mr.. Pitts speech. and was
turned out. In 1887, DR.. Prettyman
rose in his seat in the House Of Peers,
and made a short speech in favor of
n dravman committed, while Mr.. Pitt
stood below the bar to hear him.
Such are the changes that may
happen in ten years!

DANIEL BooNE.-The Louisville
Advertiser SAYS: "Some weeks since,
an acquaintance of ours made an ex-
cursion through what is called Poplar
Level, some three miles south Of this
CITY, in quest of woodcocks. Being
faligued and thirsty, he sat down b.
the side ola small spring that dubbed
from the roots ola Beech-and whilst
ENJOYING the shady rsffeshment, de-
tected at some thirty feet distant
from his seat, the dim outline Of let
tiers on a Beech tree, barely dlscerna.
bic at the distance he was from them.
Approaching the tree. and carefully
removing the moss which covered
this inscription. he found the full name
Of the cid forester, Daniel Boone,
carved in large au1 rude characters
above the date. IVA. The tree was
some four feet in circumference and
the letters, after their trenches were
cleared Of mould, distinct at the dis
lance of fifty PAGES. This is the on.
" memorial Of old Boone we have
ever heard of as extant in this region,
and from all the evidences of antiqui-
ty that surrounded it, no doubt can
be entertained of its being the genu-
inc work Of the solitary autogra-
phist."

ference which a little more expert
ence will speedily overcome.
In this important matter w rejoice
that the great founder of the Ameri,
can System has taken the lead. He
has ever been the advocate OF what.
ever may lessen the dependence Of
our country on all others--and OF
whatever might benefit her CONNER
cial, manufacturing or agricultural in
terests--and we now see him setting
an example of usefulness and enter
prise which will doubtless be follow
ed up with the best results.
As a further proof of the estima-
ton in which American Hemp is held.
we are glad to be able to state that a
mercantile firm Of this city,-undoubl-
ed Judges Of its excelIence,-are a
bout to rig a vessel just built by them
entirely with cordage made Of Anne
rican Hemp, and in compliment to
the grower have determined 10 name

Things to be RENE mbered.

Horses should never be put to Sc
we're work on a full stomach. More
horses are hurt By hard driving after
a full feed, than by a full feed after
hard driving.
If the farmer wishes to have his
pork barrel and meal ches, hold out.
let him look well to his kitchen gar
den. Plenty of vegetables conduce
not more to health than to profit.
In laying in 4 stock of winter fod-
der for animals. let it not be forgot
ten thata little too much is Just e.
nough. Starving animals at any time
is miserable policy.
As YOU treat your land so it will
trea. YOU. Feed it with manurcs lib
orally. and it will yield you bread
bounlifullv.
Avoid debt as You would the lep-
rosy. II Won are ever tempted to
purchase on credit put it off for three
DAYS. You need time for reflection.
Never BEG fruit or any thing else
YOU can produce by the expenditure
Of a little time or labor. it is as rea-
sonablc to expect 4 man TO give l.
way the products of his wheat field
as Of his orchard or fruit garden.
If YOU keep your sheep and cattle
in your meadows until July, don't
complain next winter because YOU
are compelled TO purchase hay for
your stock.
The mar who uses good seed. has
a good soil and works it in good sea,
son. rarely fails Of having 4 good

LOTTERY VENDING IN MIssoURl.-
We copy the following from the ST.
Louis New Era Of the o9th ult:
"We understand that two Of the
persons indicted for the sale of lotte-
ry tickets, in violation Of the law OF
the last Legislature, were yesterday
put upon their trials. and verdict
rendered against them in each case.
The defendants (Mr. Freligh and Mr..
Manning) were sentenced TO pay n
fine of $1,000 each, and to be impris-
oned for six months in the county jail.
SIN one of the cases, an appeal
was taken to the supreme court, and
bond required and given in the sum
of $4,000. The parties were taken
into custody as soon as the verdicts
were rendered. The recognizance in
the case OF Mr.. Marshall, indicted
for the same offence, was fo~rfeited.--
These prompt proceedings will, it is
hoped, put 4 stop TO the sale Of lotte-
nv tickets in this State"

Youthful MStructiOn.-It is relat-
ed of Ben SYRIA, that when a child, he
begged his preceptor to instruct him

saving that he was as yet too young

But masler,' said the boy, 81 have

LIFE DEYoND THE GRAvE.-Among
all the fine and beautiful figures and
modes of reasoning that the universe
in which we dwell has offered for the
illustration Of the bright hope that is
within us of a life beyond the tomb.
there is none more beautiful or ex-
quisite that ! know of, than that
which is derived from the change Of
the seasons-from the second life that
bursts forth in spring in objects ap-
parentIy dead; and from the shadow
ing forth, in the renovation Of every
thing around US, of thatdestiny which
Divine revelation calls upon cur faith
to believe shall vet be ours. The
trees that have faded and remained
dark and gray through the long drea-
rv lapse of winter. clothe themselves
again with green in the spring sun
shine, and every hue speaks of life.
The buds that were trampled down
and faded. burst forth once mor in
freshness and in beauty; the streams
brelk from the icy chains that held
them, and the glorious sun himself
comes wandering fromhis far Journey,
giving summer, and warmth, and fer
iiiiry, and magnifcence to every thing
around. All that we e breathes
the same hope, and every thing we
see rekindles into life.--James.

To Messrs. r. Garrett & Sons, Bait


To Messrs. r. Garrett & Sons, Bait.
We make the following extract
from the answer to the above:
ave procured for the hack!edhemp
the highest price that an article OF
American growth has commanded in
this market. The manufacturers in
form us that your belief is correct,
that YOUR water rolted hemp, when
properly prepared, is equal to the best
Russia. They state that in bright,
hess and strength this parcel has
proved fully equal ii not superior to
prime Russia. For m article similar
to the II. c. II. perfectly cleaned.
we feel assured from the present test
that the full price of Russia, can be
realized. This lot has proved more
satisfactory in manufacturing. and
we are advised is the best American
hemp thathas ever appeared in this
market"
The specimen alluded TO above was
sold in parcels Of one to two tons
each to several of our principal manu-
~Eaciurers, who all concur in giving il
the highest commentator, the only
complaint being that it was not quite
so well cleaned as it might have been.
| A portion of it has been used in the
manufacture Of such articles of cor
dage as ordinarily require the best
Russia, and the result has been en-
tireIv satisfactory. The price OBJ
tanned for the Hemp. 81 cents per Ii.
or Sl9I % per ton. falls only Il tTac'
ton below that of the imported artI-
Gle. and is strong evidence that with
hut a little more care in cleaning, the
full price of Russia may he realized.
The unqualified character of the ar
ticle for its brightness and strength
as given by those who have used 1t
authorizes the hope that the day Is
not far distant when this country vii
be able successfully to compete with
anv orther in this branch Of business.
In addition to the foregoing VIC finc
the following testimony in behalf o
American Hemp Ivy an English gen.
tleman now travelling in this country
in a recent New York paper. Com
inc as this does. from Il source which
would not be likely togive more cred
it to the United States than candol
compels, it certainly is not without
its due weight.
81 saw the States Navy 1arc
stores, and engines and machinery
for spinning or twisting cables, which
is far superior to anything Of the
kind ] have seen in England. The
Americans are growing their owr
hemp on the Mississippi; and the fore
man of the rope walk says that 1t i
much superior and will stand a muct
higher test than the Russian hemp
and that the cables they make are
much better and stronger than tho
best they can get from England"

And pleasure never dies

AMERICAN IIEMr.-We publish be-
low correspondence between Mr..
Clay and highly respectable mer-
camille house in this city on the very
important subject of American Hemp.
Our readers will recoilect that for
some time past the attentions of the
Government has been directed to the
production of this article for the use
of the Navy. and a. the last session
Of Congress various propositions were
introduced. having for their object
the encouragement of its growth and
preparation. One of these was the
establishment of agencies in severa!
of the Western States, authorized TO
purchase the best samples for the
Government to be used in rigging the
national vessels. The propriety OF
some measure of the kind was gener-
ally admitted, and one or two agents
have been recently appointed for the
purpose. The extract from the let
ter which we publish below proves
conclusively our independence OF
Russia in the article of Hemp, and it
also shows the ability of the Western
States TO produce it Of the best quail
ty. The price of the best Russia
