n. M. question did PROFOUND,
Which walked the Sentinel three times roun6
Yet no Surveyor could be found,
To tell the quantity Of ground,
Nor length Of lire that would divide
Each portion to the rivers side, -
Or show the plat, in shape or form,
Until truant from Woodlawn,
Skulked off from school and scudding sly,
Couched from the Tutors watching eye,
Of fexile rods wrought out frame,
Exact the lengths n. NJ did name,
One hundred and twenty seven showed,
The river made of plant wood;
Two and one hundred was the chord
That joined its ends to poiish'd boards,
The straight lines bounding on the tract,
Made in proportions quite exact,
The mansion then stood out to view,
Upon a curve just cut in two;
Also, to show it more ambiguous,
Two curves, and mansion, all contiguous,
These bound by chord of fifty one,
Show'd that the Plat was nicely done:
Degrees the angles did not show,
Its shape, therefore, no man could kno,c.
Ten thousand forms it easily took,
If Daedalus his structure shook,
Since Bullgine's days, did not appear,
A figure that was half SO queer.

THAT BEAN VINE-once more.

Querist is at a distance great,
In Mississippi's balmy stale,
Nor knows Eliza's troubled mind
About that vine he left behind.
But see, ElIza's lover come,
And views the green around her home,
But learns her anxi'ty Of mind,
Toknow the length that did unwind
That vine, up to the columns head.
"Ill try" the gallant lover said,
'And if find the length complete
You measured by your graceful feet,
As round and round you took your way,
Your hand. for all my toll, shall pay"
The length in feet he did affix,
Was fourteen hundred, eighty six.
Shall loved Eliza be his bride?
Dear /. K. H., pray do decide.

they are pleased to term the rangling

They tell the people that "the party"
is divided into as many factions as there
are interests in the country; and when
ever an important election is about to
be held, they ego to- with a most
commendable zeal, to prove to the
Democracy" that they are divided,
and that they will therefore be defeat
ed. And when, after such elections,
the Harmonious come off victors,
they will declare, that nothing can Sc

they may differ upon public measures.

HONEY IN A FLUE,


The St. Louis American tells a Gu.
rious bee story. A lady il, that city
rented house few weeks since and
shortly after she moved into it, she
saw honey bees crawling over the floor.
AT length she found that they came
down the chimney. After having.
made fire, humm'ng noise was
heard in hue which ran parallel with
the one from her room, the Fireplace
of which is below. They examined
the top of the chimney, and 10 their Ut
ter establishment found the fue Sled
with honey TO within a few inches Of
the top of the chimney. From the
SQUAD of the bees below, the honey
must extend to the depth of twenty
feet. Whenever the family wish to
enjoy delicious repast, they have on
" to send up to the chimaey-blow a
little tobacco smoke in the fue, which
drives the bees below, and with knife
cut off as much honey comb as they
wish, and that of the incest kind. The
flue of the chimney in which he honey
is, extends to the basement and has
never been used Saturday Post.
Blind Brides. "A writer in an &C.
rlcultural journal condemns the use Of
blind brides. He says that IF tbs
Creator had intended the eyes ofhor-
ses to have been blinded, that appen-
dage would have been provided IN Tia

more fatal thing to the eyes of horses.

ENGLAND AND CALIFORNIA

The N. Y. Courier contains Letter
from G. Gushing, Esq, IN relation 10
the interest of British holders of Next
can bonds in the territory Of California.
After citing various articles upon the.
subject, Mr.. C. gives the following 4
extract from an English workNon Cas-, ss,s
fornia, published in 1889:
s'This (the transfer of California to
the English creditors} would be wise
measure Oh the par: Of Mexico, if the
Government could be brought to Law
aside the vanity Of retaining large pos,
sessions. The eession fsueh Dis
jointed part of the Republic as Califor.
MIA would be an advantage. In no
case can it ever be profitable to the
Mexican Republic, nor can it possibly
remain united to 1t for any length -
time. Therefore, by giving up this
territory for the debt, would be getting
rio of the last for nothing
If California were ceded for the Englisl,
debt, the creditors might be formed III
10 company, with the difference that
they should have sort of sovereignty
over the territory, someaohat in the
manner ofthe East India Company.'
But the N. Y. Courier, has no idea
of allowing England or any other pow
erto take possession of California. Il
employs the following strong language
which certainly squints at annexation
Where sleep the thunders of The Ma.
tional lntelligencer, N. Y. Tribune
and other enemies to the extension of
our institutions: Eve lay it down as
an axum-to be defended by war e
necessary-that when Mexico ceases
to own California, it mast constitute an
integral part Of the United States y.
