Good and Bad MANAGEMENT.

During ride in cur county not many
weeks ago, | could but notice a noble
looking orchard of hundred trees. nlan.
ted more than twenty years ago, by the
man who now lives upon il. Yet that
orchard hardly produces good fruit e.
nough to supply the family of the owner.
and The sour dwarfed fruit is of no .par.
tlcular value for swim OR cider. His
neighbor not far off has an orchard some
hVe years younger, of about half the
size, anu In more uniavorable location:
yet he supplies himself and mauy of his
nelghbors and sells enough of his noble
pippins and greetings TO paw his hired
men and keep his bill for family groceries
from accumulating. The secret of all
The differences Is, the latter man actually
expended 50 in grating that orchard and
has occasionally expended an hours la
Dor in pruning and cuItiva;ing those
trees. tag H.# auoEl sir =. #.s
h During that ride. saw 4 man feeding
ten long, lank, lean swine, which will
hardly furnish his family with pork, ba-
con, and lard for twelve month. Be.
fore | had travelled five miles further. 7
saw another man with seven, about the
same age. and he will probably have
nearly a. tone of pork to sell. ..'.-...--
Another mans fences, oulbuiluings,
and gardens were a disgrace to the man,
disgrace to the neighborhood, and to
the county; while another as greatly
honored himself in them all; thus making
1t apparent to my mind that a man can
as slgnally honor or dishonor himself
on piece of ground only large enough
ior garden as on farm of 100 or 500
acres.-R. g. Purdee's address,. ,.sf

The city Of Barcelona, in Spain. pos +.
sesses peculiar pawnbroking establish
ment-where loans are made without in
terest to necessitous persons on the de-
posite of any articles. Two-thirds OF
the value, of the deposite are at once ad-
vanced. and the loan, is made for six
mon,hs and a day; bur if at the expira-
tion of that period the depositor should
declare himself unable to redeem it, an
other period of six months is allowed.
AT the end Of the second six months the
pledges are sold, but if they yield more
than the amount advanced, the difference
is given to the original owner. The
Marquis de Lilo is president Of this char
liable establishment, and he has just ad-
dressed a letter to the clergy Of the do
ces, praying them to make its advantages
known. Il bears the name Of the Pown-
broking Establishment Of Our Lady Of
Hope. In the year ls49, $3.50 persons
availed themselves Of its generosity.

Ascent Of Mount Blanc.

On the 29lh ultimo the pinnacle of
Mount Blanc was surmounted bytwo
gentlemen from Ireland--Mr. Grafton,
late 9th Fusiliers, and DIR. Richards, ol
the county of Wexford, Ireland, with "a
party of the brave mountaineers of Cha
mount. The enterprise was considered
so dangerous that the guides left their
watches and little yaluables behind, and
the TWO gentlemen made their wills, and
prepared for the worst. The ascent is
always accompanied with great peril, as
steps have to be cut up the sloping banks
of the ice; one Of the largest glaciers
has to be passed, where one false step
entails certain death, as the unfortunate
falls into a crevice of almost unknown
depth, from which no human hand could
extricate him. A night has to be passed
on the cold rock amidst the thunders of
the avalanche, and spots have to be pass
ed where no word can be spoken, lest
thousands of tons Of snow should be set
in motion, and thus hurl the party into
eternity, as was the case some years back,
when similar attemp. was made.

Hints TO Farmers BOYS.

There is one thing would like to i'm
press upon the minds of the Farmers ol
this country. TO all Of you who have
ooys that can write, get each one mem
orandum book, a few sheets of paper
will do il nothing better can be had, and
in that have each one keep an account
of every days work done in the year;
The kind Of work employed in, and the
lay OF the year. al5gsa p Il ~o.a
If il is sowing time. mention the kind
OF grain, and the amount of seed per
acre. The time of planting and OF reap
ing. In fact | should have them note
all the passing events of The farm; and
as they grow older they will find more
of importance TO note. 49,. -..-. ... cd.
Six cents will buy book that will
last one year TO commence with. My
word for ii, if the farmers will adopt
this course, the sons will be much better
farmers than their fathers. 7a sr-
u may seem like dry bushes 10 COM
mence with the first day oil January,
but as the spring opens the green grass
appears. and bright prospects are in our
paths, tie task will be more pleasing
every day until the close of the year.
Who would not give twice what the
paper and ink would cost, could they
obtain a memorandum book written by
grandfather one hundred years ago. Of
Try farmers, young and old, keep a
journal OF every day, and you will be-
come race of scientific hook farmers
not to be imposed upon. George Wash
ington one of The best farmers of Amer
lea, kept journal of the farm. es s :.
Much might be written TO prove the
benefit OF such course, if adopted, but
l leave ii for the present, hoping some
one more capable will write upon the
subject hereafter. r.--Dollar NeUspaper.

About two years ago, an excellent
work, entitled elements of Literature,
or an Introduction to the study of rheto-
ric and belles-letters," appeared in Phil
adelphia. 1t was from the pen of Pro-
fessor Ansley, of ST. Mary's College,
Wilmington, young man of high at
tainments, and in all respects qualified
to hold a distinguished position among
the lights of literature on this side OF
the Atlantis. On Monday last, this fine
scholar and accomplished gentleman was
found with his limbs frozen, in an OBJ
scure hovel in Philadelphia. BY his
side lay the foe of his life, and The cx-
tinguisher of all the bright hopes which
clustered around his early pathway-Q
bottle of spirits! lie died shortly after
being discovered. ltis unnecessary to
moralize on an event like this. The
text, short as it is, is more forcible than
any homily we could preach from IT.

thus been sell-ex,inguished,e should be

New YORK, Feb. l5--S p. M.
The Africa is below with Liverpool
dates to the first inst. She brings intel
ligence of the safety of the Atlantic.
The Atlantic was nine days out, when
she broke both her shafts-for six days
afterwards she tried to beat to the west
ward; she then returned and reached
Cork on the 22d of January. The
Cambria had been chartered to bring
her passengers, and was to sail for New
York on the 4th of February. The
vessel sustained no damage beyond that
above stated. The crew and passengers
were all well. ....-.. -.
A card was published at Cork by the
passengers, bearing high testimony Of
the ships contending for nine days a.
galnst an almost uninterrupted western
gale OF great severity, and her admira-
BILE conduct under sails in returning eigh-
teen hundred miles. They award high
praise TO Capt West for his great exer-
tions, more particularly as his first officer,
j. w. Sherfelt, was sick at the time; al
so to Mr.. Rogers, chief engineer. They
also, in their card, render thanks to Capt. =
West for his kindness aud attention.
The Cambria left Liverpool for Cork
on the 9th of January.
1t is feared it will take months to re-
pair the damages done to the Atlanlic's
machinery. Her mail came by the At
rlca, as also her passengers. st,.e -.,

b Many persons do not know the origin
OF this phrase. Ii is peculiarly the Ian
guage of the lrishmen, who cannot be
beat at an anthema, nor at the humor sat-
ire that obnoxious conduct calls forth. -
The French is the language of love-the
English OF business-but commend us 10
the Irish for many things in few words,
which the Anglo-Irish initiate pretty
well. But to our subject:
Some years ago, an Irishman of large
estate entered London coffee house.
His brogue arrested the attention OF a
fnely-scented foppish sprig of the aris-
tocracy, who relying on his superior ac-
cent resolved to set crowd of civilians at
the lrishman. '!'he latter called for cof-
tee--so did the dandy, then for toast-so
did the other-milk, sugar, cakes &C.,
were severally called for by the Irish
gentleman, and echoed by the dandy,
who with his friends, enjoyed the sport
IN side box, and laughing loud at the
supposed embarrassment OF the paddy
who at last with great composure, anG
IN the very riches, bfogue, rose, shut and
locked the door, and called to the land
lord "pistols and coffee for two" The
testers echo silenced, and the laughing
company cried out for mercy. The
laugh of derision was on the other side,
and the puppies were allowed TO sneak
out doors, one at time, with a kick
from the waiter.--jthesling Rrgus. II
