Instruction in Agriculture.

Tn the kingdom of Prussia there are five
Agricultural Colleges, aud sixth is about
to be opened; in these are taught by both
theory and practice, the highest branches
of science connected with the culture aud
improvement of the soil of Agricultural
Schools Of more elementary order there
are ten there are also seven schools devot-
ed TO instruction in the culture of flax; two
specially devoted 10 instruction in the man-
agement of meadow lands one for instruc-
ton in the management Of sheep; and
there are also forty-ive model farms intend
ed to serve in introducing better modes Of
agriculture in ali seventy-one public es-
Establishments for agricultural education, not
TO mention others Of kindred nature, or
those private schools where the art and
science of good farming are taught.
PRUSSIA is a monarchy, with fifteen mil
lions ot,people. New York is a republic
with three millions, and a territory which,
though not quite half as large, is richer and
bett situated, with means of transporta-
ton lncomparably superior. Prussia has
seventy-oe public establishments to instruct
her people in farming, the science of scien-
ces, and The art of arts. New York has
not one; and the proposition to establish a
single Agricultural College has again and
again been voted down in her Legislature
Ought so shameful contrast to exist be-
tween that monarchy and this republic 2

In time Of Peace prepare for War.

A young lady ofweathy parentage, hedg-
ling from one of our most tashslonaole
boarding schools, type of modern excell-
ence, was recently united by the sllken tie
of matrimony, to a gem of a beau. The
mamas and papas on both sides surrounded
by all the concomitants of luxury, and the
many little agreeable paraphernalla be-
speaking the possession of the "dust," deter
mined 10 get fine establishment for the
young people, and they were accordingly
"fxed" in splendid mansion in Walnut
street.
A few days after this, a school companion
Of our heroine called upon her, and was SUR
Dr;sed to find so many servants about the
house.
"Why, Mary" said she, "what in the
name ofsense have you SO many people about
for 7"
ooh p replied Madam, "we haven't any
more than we want. There is but one cook,
one chambermaid, two house girls, one house
keeper and a childs nurse Pm sure there
are not too many"
"Ha ha p said her friend, "what do you
want with a childs nurse Oh that is
funny"
"Well, we haven't any immediate use for
her, but when we were married, Charles said
that we would want one, and you know it's
not always best to let things be until the last
moment"

Curiosities of Water,

Nor is the hastone less soluble in earth than
weight of lime, it gradually melts and disap-
pears and there reuains four parts, instead of
three of perfectly dry earth under the glass;
Of plaster Of Paris statue, weighing pounds,
more than one good pound is solicited water
Even the precious opal is but mass of flint
and water, combined in the proportion of nine
grains Of the earthly ingredient to one of the
fluid. Of an acre of clay land iool deep,
weighing about one thousand two hundred tons,
of the great mountain chains with which the
globe is ribbed, many millions of tons are water
solicited in earth.
Water indeed, exists around US to an extent,
and under conditions which escape the notice of
cursory observers. When the dyer buys of the
dry salteI one hundred pounds each of alum,
carbonate of soda, and SOAP he obtains, in ex-
change for his money, no less than forty
pounds of water in the first lot,sixty-four POUNDS
in the second, and variable quantity, some
times amounting to seventy-three and a half
pounds, in the third. Even the transparent air
we breathe, contains, in ordinary weather about
five grains of water diffused through each cubic
foot of its bulk, and this rarifed water no more
vets the air than the solldiied water vets the

Gould MT Cure Him.

A good story is told in an eastern paper,
of the treatment of drunken husband, by
his amiabe spouse, After trying various
expedients, all to cure drunkenness, she at
last bethought herself Of another plan of
making a reformed drunkard Of herlord.
She engaged waterman, for stipula.
ted reward to carry Philander to the watch
house, while yet in a state of insensibility,
and to frghten him little when he recoy-
cred In consequence Of this arrangement,
Phllander woke up about IL o'clock at
night, and found himself lying on pine
bench, in a strange and dim apartment
Raising himself up on his elbow, he looked
around until his eyes rested on a man seat
Ell by a stove smoking a cigar
"Where am ?" said PhlIander to the
smoker.
"In a medical college," said the cigar
smoker
What a doing there 2"
"Going to be cut up!
How comes that 2"
"Why, you died yesterday, while you
were drunk, and we bought your body to
make 'natomy."
It's lie-Im not dead"
mo matter-we bought your carcass
from your wife, who had rig hit to sell it,
for it S all the good she could ever make
of you II you re not dead, that S no fault
of the doctors, and they cutyou up, dead
or alive"
{, You will do it, ell 2" coolly asked the
old sot.
"Aye, to be sure we will, now, directly"
was the resolute answer.
WEI, can t you let as hare something
to drink before you begin 2"
The last speech satisfied the Waterman
tina Philander was a hopeless case; and,
as bis reward was contingent on his sue
cesshI treatment of the patient, he was
not little chagrined at the result so with
no gentle handling, he tumbled the ire
formabe inebriate out of the watch-house.

In the Juvenile Wesleyan--but wether
original there or not, can scarcely tell
there appears story of an adventure with a
bear, which, while it furnishes some mate
riaIs for a good round laugh, illustrates the
desirabeness of union among members of
the same family.
At the first settlement of Vermont-so
the story goes-three young men left their
homes in Massachusetts, with rifles in hand,
and each bought tract of land side by side
in the wilderness. They erected log hut,
and agreed to live together, and work first
one. and then on the others farm alternately.
After few months harmonious action,
one of them became dissatisfied, and wonld
no longer work only on his own farm. Thus
they continued some time without anything
to interrupt their course.
One day, The two who were at work to-
gether were surprised at the outcries Of the
one at work by himself They grasped their
rifles, and flew to the relief of their COM
rade but when they came in sight of him,
such a udlcrous scene presented itself to
their gaze, that it was some time before they
could restrain from laughing sufficiently to
hold their rifles with a steady hand. This
man was at work, having placed his rifle a.
gainst tree some little distance off, when a
large bear came between him and his rifle,
and attacked him. Finding there no time
to lose, he sprang for the nearest sapling
that the bear could not climb, and was soon
up into it but the sapling was to slender to
bear up his weight, and it bent over like a
bow, and brought him in such a position that
he had to hold on with both his feet and
hands, and the bent part of his body, which
was coverd with his buckskin, hung down
within reach of tho bear when he stood on
his hind legs, and with a stroke of his fore
paw set him in a swinging motion. The
bear very patiently set on his launches till he
became more steady, and then would give
him another blow and the same result fol-
lowed but his claws did not penetrate the
buckskin, and the flesh was mol torn Alter
the two had induIdged in hearty laugh,
they drew up their rifles and stretched poor
Bruln upon the ground They united again
and worked together afterwards.

Screw VS.. Paddle.

An interesting experiment took place recently
at Copenhagen, between two steam vessels of
equal size, 800 tons and 26O horse power Each
vessels engines were made by MaudsIev. of
London The Holgerdenser paddle J CARVING
two 60 Founders and six GAS; and the Thor
(screw,) carrying fourteen 32's, were lasbed
stern to stern, when the Thor towed the paddle
at the rate of 2S.lOths knots per hour through
the water, in spite of her full power applied to
her paddles. Being disconnected thew were
then tried against strong breeze, when the
screw again had the advantage over the paddle .
but when they were put before the wind tno
sails set the paddle had the advantage of the
screw to the same extent. Both vessels were
OF similar model, the paddle being little longer
narrower, and sharper than the other. Both had
their ornaments, as above, and a. full connie.

MltstElloneous.
Why should any one Swear?

| can conceive no reason why he should, but
ten reasons why he should not.
l. 1t is mean. A man of high moral standing
would almost as soon steal sheep as swear.
2. 1t is vulgar; altogether too low for de-
cent man.
3. 1t is cowardly; implying fear either of
not being believed Or obeyed.
a. 1t is ungentlemanly A gentleman, we'll
bred, refined. Such one will no more swear
than go into the street to throw mud with
loafer.
S. 1t is indecent offensive TO dellcacy, and
extremely unfit for human ear.
6. 1t n foolish. "Want of decency is want
Of sense"
Z. 1t is abusive--to the mind which contains
the oath, to The tongue which utters it, and to
the person to whom it is aimed.
g. 1t is venemous showing mans heart TO
be a nest Of vipers, and every time he swears'
one Of them sticks out his head.
8. 1t is contemptublr-- the respect
of all the wise and good
10. 1t is wicked-violating the divine law and
provoking the dispIeasure of Him who will not
hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain

An Incident.

A difficulty occurred, and difficulties will
occur, between preacher and the choir of
his church, which for a considerable time
deprived the congregation of the benefit Of
the service of the orchestra. The deln-
quents at length relenled, and appeared in
full numbers at the usual time of service. The
parson assembled the pulpit as usual, looked
about on the congregation, paying partic-
ular attention to the unexpected accession
to his hearers, and when the time arrived
for reading the hymn, he arose, and with a
very significant tone, look and, with his eyes
fixed on the recent absentees, began
"Are ye wrelches yet alive,
And do ye yet rebeli"

FOT TTIt TTUUNTdII'
An Autumnal Dirge'

Now the somber hues of Autumn
over Natures face are cast,
Telling US, in language solemn,
Another year is almost past.
Mark We, now, the dying foliage
Slowly to the earth descend,
While, above, the naked branches,
Signing to the breez9s bend.
One by one, the lovely flowers
Sink to earth and disaI pear,
Leaving nature cl thed in sadness,
Mourning for the dying year.
Now, no more, the warblng songsters
Hail, with joy, the opening days
Vainly, mid the deep'ning twilight,
List we for their evening lay.
Silence reigneth universal,
Broken only by the breeze,
That, the diving year bemoaning,
Walls amid the forest trees.
Or perchance the noisy cascade
In the course of yonder rill,
Bursts in showers Of sparkling diamonds
Down the brow of every hill.
Strains Of music, gay and joyous
Floating DER the fowery glade,
Seem but melancholy meanings,
Mid the gloom Of Autumn's shade.
Rill and zephyr gently breathing
Solemn strains iunereal, swell;
While the forests deep recesses
Echo back the sad farewell.
Fen old Time himself confesses
That his race is nearly run,
Soon he'll shake his snowy tresses
And sigh d" Farewell, my work is done.
I've clothed thee, Earth, in vernal howors,
Watched DER thee through summers heat,
Seen thee droop, mid autumn's showers,
Wrapped thee in thy winding sheet.
Faretheewell, yet not in sorrow
Have seen thy beauties die,
For the coming of the morrow
Brings again the vernal sky.
Brings again the yernal showers,
Wakes the warbers on the lea,
Wakes to life the lovely flowers,
Emblens of mortality.
Thus shall man repose in sorrow,
(Nght must end the brightest day.
But, upon a brighter morrow,
Wake to Immortality" T. P. II.

A French Juggler came near falling
sacrifice to the superstition and ignorance
of some of the peasantry of France. On
the occasion of a grand ball given upon his
estate he lighted the colored lamps with
which his park was decorated with a piece
of ice Some time afterwards, as some work.
men were blasting rocks near his chateau,
he exploded one mile distant with the aid
of wire and an electric spark. OF course
it was soon believed far and wide, that he
was in league with tho Evil One. And when,
few days afterwards, the cholera appeared
in the locality, it was unanimously attributed
to the devils emissary. His chateau was
about to be mobbed, when he ran of to Par
