tincty seen with the eye. Fish ponds and
traps are frequent, and some of them are
very large, and contain large quantities Of
fish which are always on hand to supply the
market, when the heavy gales which last
sometimes many days, prevent the fisher
men from taking the usual supply.

PoTATo CURE.-A perfect cure for the
Potato Disease has at last been discovered
and applied to the crop in Germany. DR..
KIotsch of Berlin, has received reward Of
l,4OO dollars from the Prussian Govern
ment for the discovery. The same manner
of preventing the disease was discovered
nearly at the same time by the celebrated
Prof Liebig, but DR.. Klotsch has tested it
for three years successfully and on large
scale. The plan is to pinch off about half
an inch of the top of the plant when it has
reached the height of six to nine inches, and
to repeat the same operation 10 TO l weeks
after the time of planting, on all the stems
of the plant.

THE "HULKSn OF BERMUDA.

II may be interesting TO some Of your rea-
ders to know something about the place
where the Irish Patriot, Mitchell, is con-
demned to linger out his days in confinement,
on board Of prison ship. They are truly
named "Hulks," and would add loathsome
Aulks, too. was once prisoner of war,
and confined on board Of them, and have a
most vivid recollection of those floating
castles.
The Bermuda, or Somers' Islands, are a
small group, situated about half way be-
tween Nova Scotia and the Antilles, and
about 600 miles from the American coast, or
from Cape Halleras. During the war OF
1912, it was the headquarters for the British
army and navy on the American station. 1t
was frs >m the Bermudas that the army under
Gen. r oss sailed for the Chesapeake, and
ir6Jhe attack on Baltimore. 1t was also

leans, de ,parted, under the com nn New or-
keene- the division under Gen. Gibbs el''

These Is lands are about IS miles in leno,h
and abou 20 broad, and are divided into ..
bout 40 stands, the sea running ,bronoh
them in very direction, forming bays and
-inle,s on almost every side. One Of The
rhulks, the "Goree," an old African ship, is
situated at the head of St. Georges harbor.
and is used as receiving ship. The "Ar-
dent "a, was situated in the bay, abou, 4
miles from t. he navy yard at Hamilton, and 3
miles from Il le tanks, at the head of long
and dangerot IS reef of rocks which extends
from the east ern end of these Islands for A.

THE CONSENT.
Take her, she hath learned to love thee,
Take fathers dearest pride;
Fond and faithful may she prove thee,
She is now thy chosen bride.
Take my casket's brightest treasure,
Take the sunshine of my days;
Now thy will may be her pleasure,
Guardian of her future ways.
Thou hast culled the first sweet blossom
Sent to deck my marriage bower;
Place her in thy sheltering bosom,
Cherish well thy fav'rite flower.
Weep not love, l do not chide thee,
Though shed the parting tear;
Now may Heavens good angels guide thee,
Go-your husbands heart to cheer.
But receive fathers blessing,
Ere in distant home you dwell;
Mutual love and peace possessing,
Co. children, fare-ye-wel!

PROSPERITY AND Y-Adversity
is bitter, but precious medicine. In pros
perity we feel too independent When we
walk by daylight, we think little of the sun
that gives it. 1t is when we stumble in dark
and difficult ways beneath staress skies,
that we feel and acknowledge the blessings
of light. He who sails over smooth " alters,
gives not a thought TO the pilot who is stand
ing unmarked at the helm; but when+tlie
storm RACES and the seas are rough, how
thankfully does be then recognize the hand
whose care guides him in safety past the
threatening rock and lands him in security
in the unexpected haven. Our sorrows, too,
teach US not only the worse; but sometimes
also the better qualities Of our fellows, and
many who. in our days of wealth, we deem
ed but hearsless churls, have in our distress,
shown themselves friends. ....

The man deserving that name, is one
whose thoughts and exerions are for Others,
rather than himself-whose high purpose is
adopted on just principles and never aban-
doned while heaven or earth affords means
of accomplishing it. He is one who will
neither seek an indirect advantage by spe-
cions road, nor take an evil path to gain
real good purpose. Such a man were one
for whom woman's heart should beat con-
slant while he brealhes and break when he
|dies-Peueru of The Peak. ..r-.

SELLING DoG.-Dick Lazybones was
the owner Of large dog, which it cost as
much TO keep as it would two pigs; and the
dog besides was utterly useless. Nay, he
was worse than useless, for in addition to
the expense of keeping, he took up the
house room, and greatly annoyed Dicks
vile.
"Plague take the dogr'said she, ssMr. La
zybones, wish yo would sell him, or kill
him, or Go something or other with him
He is more plague than his rotten neck is
worth-always lying in the chimney cor.
ner, and eating more than it would take te
maintain three children. wonder you keer
such useless animal"
"WeII, we'll, my dear,' said Dick, "say no
more about it. will get rid of him one oil
these days.'
This was intended as mere get of, on
the part of Dick, but as his wife kept daily
dinging in his ears about the dog, he was a,
length compelled to take some order on the
subject.
"WeIl. wife," said he one day as he came
in, "I've sold Jowler.'
"Have you, indeed?" says she, brighten
ing up at the good news-''l'm dreadful glad
of IT'D
"How much did you sell him for?"
"Fifty dollars"
"Fify dollars!--what, fifty dollars for
one dog? How glad am. Thal'alI almost
buy us good horse. But where's the mo-
ney, my love?"
"Money," said Dick, shifting long nine
lazily to the corner of his month, 81 didn't
get any money! took two puppies, a.
twenty-five dollars piece"

CULTIVATION OF THE MIND.

Cultivate the power to fix the mind on
any subjec. you please.
Fix in the mind the elementary principles
of all that pertains to life; such as the
principles of science, of business, Of politics,
Of government, laws and religion.
Obtain the power of using language, and
defining what you mean by such terms
as are in common use when we speak OF
think
| Fill the mind with thematerials of thought;
such as the facts which we read, observe
and hear.
Teach the mind where to 60 for informa-
ton; that is, from what source to draw.
Teach the mind how to take up sub
Iject, investigate it, and draw conclusions on
which you may rel y.
Cultivate the judgment as to what facts
are worth preserving, and what are appli-
cable in proving or illustrating particular
subject.
Cultivate the memory, SO that the mate
rails which you gather may not be dissipa-
led and lost, as fast as gathered.
You will think, perhaps, that have laid
out the work life here, and so | have in
tended to do; but if you will read these OBJ
ects over again, believe that you will say
no one Of these can be omitted in culivaline
the mind in proper manner. You will
not of course have all these objects special
ly before the mind whenever you exercise
it; but they are to be the points to which
you are to bring the mind in all is wan
behring's, and in a cultivated mind these
several points will unconsciously receive
attention.
Perhaps this is not the place, but it can
not be much out of place, to say that in nv
estimation, all this only looks to a far high.
er and nobler ohjec,-whch is, to prepare
that mind 10 be the receptacle Of light anc
knowledge, the image of God, and the IN
seen glories of an eternal state. In all m,
conlemp Ialions of the mind, look upon il
as an immortal existence, and that it is fol
that state of immortality il is now to be dis
ciplined and prepared.
Education does not mean going to schoo
in your boyhood, or going to college ir
your youth but it means the power te
take your mind and make it an inslrumen
of conveying knowledge and good i'm.
pressions upon other minds, as well as be-
ing itself made happy. To cultivate the
mind, then, does not mean to read much
or little, to converse and to observe; bu
to discipline it in all ways in your power
Y on must not have narrow views on thi.
subject, or else lose all nv labor. do no
expecllha. every one will discipline his mine
so that he can observe and think as we'll a:
franklin but what then? Is this reaso,
why you should not do what you can >
Neither could Franklin reason like Isaac
Newton, and bring the universe at hi:
feet. What thea? Was this a reason why
he should not do all that he could ?-I'odd';

DISCOVERY OF MUMmIEs At DURANGO

DISCOVERY OF MUMMIEs At DURANGO
IN MExIco.-The Texas Star says that a
million Of mummies have been discovered
on the environs Of Durango, in Mexico
They are in sitting posture, but have the
same wrappIngs, bands, and ornaments as
the Egyptians. Among them was found poig-
nard of flint, with sculptured head, cha plets,
necklaces, &C., of alternated coored beads,
fragments of bones polished like ivory, fine
worked elastic TISSUES, (probably our mo-
dern india rubber cloth) mocasins worked
like those OF our Indians, to-day, bones of
v'pers, sc. ltremains to continue these in
leresIlng researches, and America will be-
come another Egypt to anliquaries, and her
ruins will 60 back to the oldest period OF
the world, showing doubtless that the an
cestors of the Monteznmas lived on the
Nile, and that the luxurious civilization
was broken, and over,hrown by the har-
dy hordes Of Asiatic Tdrtars, who came
down from Behring's Straits and Rocky
Mountains. The scenes of A,llla and Ala
ric in Rome and Greece, were rehearsed a,
an earlier day on the shores of California
and the plains of Mexico. 1t is unknown
OF the mummies above mentioned what kind
OF embalment used, or whether it was nj
.rons dispositions in the caves where they
are found; a fact of importance is stated
that the shells and the necklaces are of a
marine animal found at Zacatekas, on the
Pacific, where the Columbus of their fore
fathers probably landed from the Malay
Hindoston or Chinese coast, or from some
islands on the Indian Ocean.

THREE POETS IN A PUzzLE.-Ile led the
horse 10 the stable, when fresh perplexity
arose. ! removed the harness without
difficulty, but, after many strenuous attempts,
could not remove the collar. In despair,
called for assistance when aid soon drew
near. Mr.. Wordsworth brought his ingenui-
ty into exercise, but, after several unsuccess-
ful efforts, he relinquished the achievement,
as thing altogether impracticable. Mr..
Coleridge now tried his hand, but showed
no more grooming skill than his predeces-
sors; for, after twisting the horses neck,
almost to strangulalion, and the great dan.
ger of his eyes, he gave up the useless task,
pronouncing that the horses head must
have swollen from govt or dropsy, since
the collar was put on; for he said it was
downright impossiblity for such huge os
fronts 10 pass through so narrow collar !!
Just at this instant,a servant girl came near
and understanding the cause of our conster.
nation, "La, MASTER" said she "you don't GO
about the work in the right way. You
should do like this; when turning the COL
lar completely upside down, she slipped il
of in moment, to our great humiliation
and wonderment each satisfied afresh, tina,
there were heights of knowledge in the
world to which we had not at.ained.-Life

1t is just so throughout all the gradalions
of Society, the highest are indebted to the

latter, for the former is an artificial no.
beman, and the latter one of natures no.

Shooting HoRsEs.-At a meeting of the
Royal Agricultural Society of England, some
time since, Professor SeweII remarked that
he had found old horses shod with layer
of leather, forming an artificial sole between
the shoe and the hoof, recover from the severe
affections causing injury to the hoof; such,
for'ns'ance, as conlractions, brillleness, sand
cracks, or even disease of the foot itself, as
lhrushes, canker, corns, &c. and perfectly
regain It's original elasticity and 6rmness.-
The mode in question had been prac.ced
by Prof Sewell for the last thirty years.
