Alexander Dumas is writing his Memoirs for
the Presse in Paris. A Critic says of him:
Having mixed famiiarly with all descriptions
of society from that of crowned heads and princes
Blood down to the strolling players-having
been behind the scenes of the political, the lit
erary, the theatrical, the artistic, the financial,
and the trading world-having risen, unaided,
from the humble position of a subordinate clerk
III the office of Louis Phillipe's accountant, to
that of the most popular of living romancers in
all Europe-having found an immense fortunein
his inkstand, and squandered it (ike genius or
a fool)-having rioted in more than princely
luxury, and been reduced to the sore strait of
wondering where he could get credit for his din
ner-having wandered far and wide, taking his
life as it came-now dining with King, anon
sleeping with brigand-one day killing lions
in the Sahara and the next, according to his
OWN account,) being dcvourcd by bear in the
Pyrences-having edited a daily newspaper and
managed a theatre, and failed in both-havlng
built magnificent chateau, and had it sold by
aucton-having commanded in the National
Guard, and done fierce battles with bailltts and
duns-having been decorated by almost every
potcntate in Europe, so that the breast of his
coat is more variegatcd with ribbons than the
rainbow with color-havng published more than
any man living and perhaps than any man dead
having fought duels innumerabe, and having
been more quizzed, ca,icatured, and lampooned'
and satirized, and abused and slandered and ad-
mired, and envied, than any human being now
existing, Dumas must have an immensely to TELL
and we fear that it will be mixed up with a vast
deal of imagination"

1t is amusing to see two jostlers dancing before
each other at cross purposes, right and left, beg
ging pardon each time for the unfortunate III
terruption they occasion each other.
The step accidental is when you have been
walking, say ala wriggle, tip-toe, or hold up
and suddenly meet crony, who tells you, with
a shining face, pincbed eyes, and an atfectionate
twang of speech, how "handsome your gold
chain is" or what "a devilish good orator you
proved yourself at the club last hight" On
parting, the step accidental is sure to convey
your person to its destination with swinging
of the body, nodding the head, humnning "lal
lal lal lal," and staggering with the feet.
The step delicate, one would imagine, belong
ed only to lovers and ladies' 1t is not so. There
is such a creature in the fashionable world as a
dandy thing of perfume and nonsense, which
can step as delicately as a tortose-shell tabby.
A ball room suit and pumps are the life and
soul of this very pretty step.
The step pompous is that of a man who has
written noisy article in paper or magazine,
who has made public speech, said some silly
good thing, or struck hard driven bargain in
business You are led to imagine their bodies
have acquired actual ponderosity by the trans
action. Such heaving up of each side, such
parade with the legs and such action in the
very placing of stick or umbrella under the
arm is highly diverting to every peripatetic phi
losopher
The dead march is very unique species OF
walking; the head, body, and arms are held
deathly still, the eyes stare straight forward, and
the creature advances his corpse by the action of
the legs only.
The JFot iron step is produced by kind of
marching step, laying the foot to the ground, toe
and heel at the self-same time.
The one leggers, never-before described tribe
of odd,fellows, who appear to walk on one side,
just as if they were beside themselves. They
are no cripples, but as they choose to act the
part of such by using one leg for ~alhing; the
other for pushing"

SEED PLANTER-Wew were shown on last Mon
dav, by the inventor, Mr.. Carter, new machine
for planting seed, especially cotton seed, which
exceeds nything Of the kind we have ever seen .
or heard OF. 1t drops from 5 to 10 seedin a hill,
at such distances as is desired, and is so con-
structed as to open the hill, drop the seed and
cover them at the same time, thus saving seed
and the labor of one horse and hands; as it
usually takes hands to drop after one plough,
and one to cover. Iu other words one horse and
one hand with this machine performs the labor
of eight hands and two horses in planting crops.
From what the ingenious inventor told us OF its
operation, having planted his entire crop with it
this year. it is destined to come into general Hse
1t can also be made to drop corn and peas at the
same time with much more accuracy than 1t can
be done by hand
The inventor in'"nds applying for patent,
and therefore minute description of 1t might
be improper. Mr. Carter is native OF LauIens
district, and we wish him every success, and that
his ingenuity may be rewarded, not only with
fame, l,ut with something more "nater,al"

ECONOMY IN A FANILY.-Thcre is nothing
which goes so far towards placing young people
beyond the reach of poverty, as economy III the
management of their domestic affairs. 1t mat
ters not whether man furnishes little or much
for his family if there is continual leakage in his
kitchen or in the paror; it runs away he knows
not how, and the demon, Waste, cries, ''more !"
like the horse-eech's daughter, until he that pro-
vided has no more to give. 1t is the husbands
duty to bring into the house, and it is the duty
of the wife to see that none goes wrongtully out
of it-not the least article however unimportant
in ITSELF for it establishes precedent-nor un-
der any pretence for it opens the door for ruin
to stalk in, and he seldom leaves an opportunity
unimproved A man gets a wife to look after
his affairs, and to assist him through lite-to
educate and prepare his children for proper
station in life, and not to dissipatc his property.
The husbands interest should be the wie's care,
and her greatest ambition carry her no further
than his welfare and happiness, together with
that of her children. This should be her sole
aim, and the theatre of her exploits isin the bosom
of her family, where she may Go as much to-
wards making fortune as he casF casRF in the count
ing room Of the workshop. 1t is not the money
earned that makes man wealthy; it is what he
saves from his earnings. A good and prudent
husband makes deposit of the fruits of his Ia
Dor with his best friend, and if that friend be
not true TO him, what has he to hope? If he
dares not to place confidence in the companion
of his bosom, where is he to place it? A wife
acts not for herself only, but she is the agent Of
many she loves and she is bound to act for their
rood, and not for her own qualification. Hel
Rosband's good is the end to which she should
aim-his appreciation is her reward.

Walking.

The following extracts from chapter on
Walking, may amuse some of our friends, and
at the same time convey lesson to the rising
penel alton At time, like the present, when
the sidewalks of the town are pretty clear OF
distractions, in the way Of customers to the
stores or visitors to the town, fair field for ex-
hibition NAV be afforded to all who chose to
practice the fashionable steps. Here follows
description Of them:
"The hp-toes: so called from the pretty arti-
fee of mncing on the toes, with step lndlca-
tive of this earth being too impure to receive the
impress of their feet. 1t eminently distinguishes
a great swell, boarding miss in her teens,
or stiff.starched old maid.
The spinqers: most unpleasant breed to
walk with arm in arm. Their manner is to adj
vance first one shoulder then the other, with two
long arms pendulous and keeping time to the
strides of couple of stiff legs, moving as grace
fully as the extended legs of mathematlclan,s
compasses, or the timber understandings OF
Chelsea pensioner.
The bob5ers: one might suppose them desl-
rous of aiding digestion by shaking and churning
themselves in their rambles. Their heads can
be compared only to fishers float bobbing up
anu COVu III IHc "dIei, "hShSo eANJ A'''N ~
less, taken their name.
The dandlcrs walk as though they were
purely out of conccit with themselves; now all
on one side, then all on the other; crooked,
straight, long steps, short steps, toes sometimes
in, sometimes out. Except on bad road, on
hot dav, in a tight pair Of shoes, and with hun
grv belly, this style is quite unpardonablee;;
The ssippity-hinpity-hop step is usually met
with among halfbred, sunday-dree:sssed bucks. 1t
is sinking, Hppity-!!:rrPPiiy motion A mer-
GERS apprentice, or tailors clerk, in his holiday
cear, may not unfrequenty be seen cutting this
sidiculour figure. r..
The striders require no minute description. 1t
is customary with them to race along, in seven
league boots, so that it is, under all crcumstan-
ces, far more desirable to ride than to wdlk with
these gentry, the striders.
The jostlers are a quick, Independent, hey
day, miscellaneous walkers, despisng all rule, all
order. They may be seen in crowded streets
nlaying hide and seek before every passenger
thew meet; even in open ways they thread every
street as if it were too narrow, or had too
many lamp posts; nay, if the welfare of the ma
t;on were at their fingers ends, they could not
affect more Importance of carriage and motion.

Strawberries.

The secret growing Strawberries six months
in the year, continuously, has been discovered
and practiced by Charles F. Peabody of Colum-
bus, Georgia. one OF the editors ofthe Soil Of the
South for several years. not as theory, mere ex-
pertinent, nor accidental production, but as
science study of time successfully carried ou
for profit: for he sends his market wagon into
the city, loaded with this luxury, from March till
September, and last year his vines continued to
ripen fruit until Christmas
What is the secret! our fair readers eyclam.-
What new variety? No other than Hovey's
seeding, impregnated by early scarlet and never
manured but kept continually moist by artificial
watering; for which purpose he uses garden en-
gine.
For four years, Mr. P. cultivated the same
variety in rich garden mould, manuring liber-
ally every year, and at any time during summer
could have moved heavy swathe ofgreen uxu-
RANT vines, which have made very good hay
but that was not what he wished to grow
Failing to get fruit by garden culture, he COM
mencedthe experiment. which for SIX years has
proved so eminently successful. He cleared OF
strip of low land along little rirulet, the SOIL
of which is coarse sand loose gravel, intermixed
with clay lightly and of course, covered with
forest mould, digging out the roots of thick
growth of bushes sufficiently prepared the land
The vines were then set in rows, six OF Hovcy
and one of scarlet, and the surface has never
been disturbed since, by spade or hoe, except so
far as going over the ground once or twice wear
to cut here and there a decaying vine or branch
of GRASS or weeds. few Of which however. in con-
sequence of using no manure, ever made their ap-
pearance, neither do the plants run to vines,
Spreading all over the surface every year as they
did in the garden The whole strength seems to
be exerted for the production of large rich berries
to such degree that the ground is red with
fruit-not green with leaves: and this not upon
little plat but over a field of five acres.
And does he never manure them! Is undM'bt-
cdlv asked by every tyro III the business OF
growing strawberry vines. Mr.. P. grows roots
stems and fruit. l repeat he never manur1s
never digs the ground nor turns under the od
roots to give place to new ones In autumn, egves
light dressing of the surface soil OF the forest
and covers the ground with leaves; these remain
until decaved, and serve to keep the berries
clean during the long bearing season. This, and
the watering every hot day when it does not ram
is the great secret of growing Strawberries, not
only six months but last year he actually had
them upon his table every month but two-Jan-
uarv ands February. Of course at the North,
the bearing seasons could not be of equal dura-
ton, butt may be greatly extended by the same
course of cultivation.-Scotts Weekly paper
