FrightGlI Appetite.

While the st. Louis Legion was on its
passage from New Orleans to the Brazos,
saws an exchange, an officer Of the Ma
tive American Rangers very much as
tonlshed the steward of the vessel by his
appetite so much so that the latter look
ed upon him with feeling Of dread
Directly beneath the cabin table, at which
the officers dined, was an opening in the
deck for ventilating the steerage of the
vessel, in which were quartered portion
of the privates of the legion Several of
these hosted companion up to-the sad
opening, while the officers were atthe
table, and he catching the Lieutenant OF
the Hangers by the legs, asked him very
politely to pass down a share of any thing
good there might be upon the table
\ Certainly, boys said the sub, aud
reaching for plate of fresh biscuit, down
1t went. Steward said he, .hand me
them eggs. and down went the eggs
Pass Inc some fresh biscuit was his
next request, and the steward, in aston
lshment, looked round for the heaped-uy
plate he had furnished but few mo-
ments beiore-it had disappeared A
mother was placed upon the table, and
the steward had hardly turned his back
before it was cleared, and the contents
passing round below. A few more eggs,
said the Liestenant f; the steward gazed
at the cleared plates, aud burst into a
free flood of perspiration. More eggs
were passed along, and where they dts
appeared, or how so small man as the
sub. could swallow so rapidly, appeared
to be 4 subject of dreadful mystery to the
table purveyor. At length the meal was
over, and the alarmed steward took the
first opportunity of mentioning the cause
to the Captain.

Getting Poor on Rich Land, and
Rich on Poor Land.

A close observer of men and things
told us the following little story, which
we hope will plow very deeply into the
attention of all who plow very shallow
into their soils -
Two brothers settled together in
county. One of them on a cold, ugly,
clay soil, covered with black jack oak,
not one Of which was large enough to
make half dozen rails. This man
would never drive any but large, power
iul Conestoga horses, some seventeen
hands high. He always put three horses
to large plow and plunged it in some
ten inches deep. This deep plowing he
invariably practised and cultivated thor
oughly afterwards lie raised his seven
ty bushels of corn to the acre.
This man had a brother about six
miles off settled on a rich White river
bottom farm, and while black jack clay
soil yielded seventy bushels to the acre,
this fine bottom land would not average
fifty. One brother was steadily growing
rich on poor land and the other steadily
growing poor on rich land.
One day the bottom land brother came
down to see the black jack oak farmer
and they began to talk about their crops
and farms, as farmers are very apt to do.
How is it, said the first, that you man
age on this poor soil to beat me in crops 2
The reply was 'oork my land.'-I
That was it exactly. Some men have
such rich land, that they wont cork it
and they never get step beyond where
they began. They rely OH the soil, and
and on labor, or skill or care. Some
men expect their LANDS to work, and
some men expect to nOrk their iands,
and that is Just the difference between
the good and bad farmer.
When we had written thus far, and
read it to our informant, he said three
years ago travelled again through that
section, and the only farm saw, was the
very one of which we have just written.
All the others were desolate, fences
down, cabins abandoned. the owners had
become discouraged, and moved Off /

hanging by one hinge that used TO dis

Victoria.

There has been one, and we believe
only one sovereign of this name, before
the accession of the Queen Of Great
Britain to the throne. and she was the
sovereign of a great portion Of the west
ern division of the Roman Empire. She
is thus spoken of by Gibbon
"After the murder offs many valiant
princes, il is somewhat remarkable that a
female for a long time controlled the
fierce legions of Gaul. The arts ami
treasure of Victoria enabled her to place
successively Marius aud Tertms on the
throne. and to r'ign with manly vigor,
under the namc of those dependent en-

party who first adopted this fantastic mode o

planted hickory poles first, and we'll do we
remember the time when Tammany Hall
