THE MAMMOTH CAvE-ITs CosT.-In one
of Mr.. Willis recent letters to the Home
Journal, we find the following paragraph re-
ating to the original purchase of, and the
amount paid for, the Mammoth Cave in
Kentucky.
"Coloncl Croghan, to whose family it be-
longs, was a resident of Louisville. He went
to Europe some twenty years ago, and, as an
American, found himself frequently question:
ed of the wonders of the Mammoth Cave
Il place he had never visited, and of which,
at home, though living within ninety miles
of it, he had heard very little. He went there
Immediately on his return, and the idea struck
him to purchase and make it a family inheri-
tancc. In fifteen minutes bargaining, he
bought it for $4,000, though shortly after
he was offered 100000 for his purchase. In
his will he tied it up in such way that it
must remain in his family for two generations,
thus appending it, celebrity to his NAME
There are nineteen hundred acres in the cs-
tate three square miles above ground
though the cave probably runs under the
property of great number of other land
owners. For fear of those who might dig
down and establish an entrance to the cave
on their own property, "a mans farm extend
ing up to the zenith down to the nadir,) great
vigilance is exercised to prevent such subter-
ranean surveys and measurements rs would
enable them to sink n shaft with any certain
ty. The cave extends ten or twelve miles in
several directions, and there is probably many
n backwoodsman sitting in his log hut with
in ten miles Of the cave, quite unconscious
that the most fashionable ladies and gentle
men of Europe and America are walking,
without leave, under his corn and potatoes.

JOHN ADAMS ON TEMPERAYcE.-The fol-
lowing passage occurs in an address of the
venerable Ex-President:
sin the ardor of your zeal for moral reform,
forget not the rights Of personal freedom.
Seit-government is the foundation of all our
political social institutions, and it is by self
government alone that the laws of temper
ancc can be enforced. In the effort to re-
cover your brother from treading the prim-
rose path of daiance with the Crcean cup,
allure him by kindness, rather than repel him
pie than preccpt. Seek not to force upon
him by Legislative enactment, that virtue
which he Possesses only by the dictates Of
his own conscience, and the energy of his
own will. Let no tncture of party politics
be mingled with the pure stream from the
pure fountain Of temperance. May the watch
word Of moral reform be the inscription upon
your banners, and may the standard Of your
spiritual and anti-spiritual warfare, in concert
with those congenlal armies be borne alOft in
triumph, till the cause Of temperance shall
spread con1ucrinr and to conquer, from sea
to sea, and from the rivers to the ends of the
carth.'"

RHYMES FOR TIE TIMES.
The world is very fanciiu,
And changes all the time,
And some are fond of politics,
And some are fond of rhyme.
Patterns are some of picty,
OF wickedness are some;
One lectures on sobriety,
Another treats on rum.
Some are the soul Of honor
A blessing where one lives;
Some Con the wholc) have little souls,
Except what money gives.
Some will rcbuke you rudely,
Yet be your friend the while;
While some will smile before your face,
And stab you while they smile.

Some are in love with girls;
Some hide their talents in the earth,
Some cast to swine their pearls.
