In China, the tomb of Confucus has been
made in small miniature, no larger than anut,
but wonderfully composed Of precious met
ais, and adorned with a protuslon OF gems, but
its value consists of the labor expended on Its
execution. It's landscapes, dragons, Angels
animals, and human figures, would require
several pages of description, which after all
would, without u view Of the model, prove te-
dious and uniltelligible.
Chrrles the Fifth of Spain, had a watch
which was confined in the jewel OF his ring,
and a matchmaker in London presented
George the Third with one set in the same
manner. It's size was something less than
silver two-pence, and it contained one hum
bred and twenty-five different parts, and
weighed altogether no more than five penny
weights and seven grains
The Tomb of Raphael, executed by an l.
Italian named ItacCava!a, is indeed wonder
1t is only twelve inches in height and from
an inch to four inches in diameter 1t is a.
dorned with various architectural ornaments
in the richest style of Gothic, and also figures
of the Virgin and Child. The work is said
10 be ofunrivalled merit and beauty. The
model is contained in a case Of wrought gold,
and is itself of lockwood. The general de-
sign may be regarded as architectural, embel-
lishcd with several compartments OF sculp-
ture or of carving, consisting OF various
groups of figures. These display different
events in the life of Christ. Some OF the tig-
ures are less than quarter Of an inch IN
height, but though thus minute, are all nm
ished with the greatest precision and Skill
and what renders this execution still more Gu
rious and admirable, is the dclcacy and beau
ty with which the back and distant iAures are
executed

RECIPE. Many of our farmers now keep
bees, and as the comb as well as the honey, is
from various reasons, valuable article, and
as the labor of separating the latter is often
attended with considerable trouble, we APP
pend the following recipe -,
Tie the comb in a linen or wooden bag ;
place it in kettle filed with cold water, and
suspend it over a slow fire, As the water be-
comes heated, the wax will melt, and rise to
the surtace-the extraneous matter, or impu-
rites, remaining il the bag This is cheap
and eGectual method,--in fact, superior to any
we have ever tried.-Jfaiae Farmer

"SMALL PorAToEs." This term is so
generally reproachful that the person or thing
to which it is applied is placed in the lowest
attitude But even small potatoes should not
be despised, as the following facts, which
we're related to us by one of our townsmen
who derived most profit from the proceeding,
fully illustrates.
Some years ago gentleman visiting
farmer in Tolland, Connecticut, took from his
pocket small intruder which somehow got
in there at home. 1t was thrown out with
smile, and the farmer taking it in his hand to
look at it, curious little boy of twelve at his
elbow, asked what it was. Oh, nothing but
potatoe, my boy,-take and plant it-and
YOU shall have all you can raise from it till
YOU are free. The lad took it, and the farmer
thought no more about it at that time The
boy, however, not despising small potatoes,
carefully divided it into as many pieces as he
could fnd eyes, and put them into the ground
The product was carefully put aside in the
fall, and seed for several hills was obtain
ed for the next spring The product was
all kept for seed, until in the fourth year,
the yield being good, the actual product was
four hundred bushels! The farmer, seeing
the prospect that the potatoe field would by
another year cover his whole farm, asked TO
be released from his promise.
With the same calculation, prudence, and
industry, how many who are disposed to re-
card the trihing things on which fortunes are
built as too small potatoes to receive their at
tentiou, would have been in independent cir
cumstances, if they had husbanded small adj
vantages "Small potatoes" should not be
Gespised, even though there be at first but "a
few in hill" Portsmouth Journal

KEEPING FARM ACCOUNTS. Let any
farmer make the experiment, and he will
find it as interesting as it is useful, to known
from year to year the actual produce OF his
farm Let everything, therefore, which can,
he measured and weighed land let that which
cannot be brought to an exact standard, be
estimated as if he himself we're about to sell
Or purchase it. Let him likewise, as near as
possible, measure the ground which he uses,
and the manner in which he applies it. The
labor of doing this is nothing compared with
the satisfaction of having done it and the ben
fits which must arise from it. Conjecture, in
these cases, is perfectly wild and uncertain,
varying often with diAerenti individuals, almost
hunirel per cent. Exactness enables a
man to form conclusions, which may most
essentially, and in innnmerable ways avail to
his advantage. 1t is that alone which can give
any value to his experience. It's, that which
will make his experience the sure basis OF
Improvement; it will put it in his power tc
give safe counsel to his friends, and it is the
the only ground on which he can securely
place confidence himsclf.-No'rjs,oVn Her
