RATHER FoRGETFUL-A Connecticut lady
who was in the habit of always leaving some
thing or other behind her, whenever she went
on journey, was not long since promised BY
her husband, the present of handsome shawl
if, on the occasion of her leaving home the
next day, she carried everything she wanted
with her. The lady of course exerted her
self to the utmost, and the pair set off towards
the place of destination. They had not pro-
cceded a mile, however, when the lady exhib-
tied symptoms of fdgetiness, as usual, and on
her husbands inquiring as to the cause, she

The SunAower,

A writer in the Agricultural Gazette speaks
as follows of this plant The Sunfower (He-
lianthus annus) is propagated by seed, which
sown in the spring produces seed again in the
autumn. 1t grows rapidly and exhausts The
soil like tobacco or any other drawing crop,
and is particularly suited for woodland or rich
alluvial land newly broken up, which generally
renders the growth of wheat, &C., too iuxuri-
ant for the production of seed. The plant
grows large, and 10 lbs. of seed are required
for an acre Of land, which it is stated will pro-
duce l 3 ton of seed, 2 tons Of stems and
branches, which when stripped will yield l l2
ton silky fibre, and 1-2 ton of coarse fibre, and
9 tons Of leaves. The ton and half of seed
husked will produce $40 lbs, or SO gallons of
oil fit for table use or for lamps, as well as for
machinery and manufacturing purposes. The
oil is so pure and free from aqueous particles
that ii is particularly suited for watch-makers
and all the finer parts of the machinery. The
seeds are also valuable as an article of food ma
king, when ground into -four, excellent bread
pastry and biscnis. The fine fiber of the
stems is suited for making all descriptions of
paper, and the coarse for the manufacture of
ropes, mats, cordage, and canvas. The leaves
are superior green food for cattle, and the cake
remaining after the oil is pressed from the
seeds and husks, is valuable for fattening them.
Any part of the plant not required for any of
the above purposes, yields by burning excellent
potash for manufactures or for manure

A YANKEE on the THRoNE.-When Friend
Hopper visited the House of Lords, he asked
the sergean,-at-arms if he might sit upon the
throne. lie replied,
No sir. No one but his Majesty sits there.
Wherein does his Majesty differ from 9th
er men 7 inquired he. Ii his head were
cut oil, wouldn't he die .
Certainly he would replied the officer.
So would an American rejoined Friend
Hopper. As he spoke, he stepped up 10 the
gilded railing that surrounded the throne, and
tried TO open the gate. The officer told him il
was locked Well, won't the same key thai
locked it unlock it = inquired he. Is this
the key hanging here!'
Being informed that il was, he took it down
and unlocked lie gate. He removed the satin
covering from the throne, carefully dusting the
railing with his handkerchief, before he hung
the satin over it and then seated himself in
the royal chair Well,' said he,' - do look
anything like his Majestyl'
The man seemed embarrassed, but smiled as
he answered, Why, sir, you certainly fill the
throne very respocrably.'
There were several noblemen in the room
who seemed 10 be extremely amused by these
unusual proceedings.

Nearly twenty thousand vessels are now an

Its receipts from customs are four and a half
million pounds sterling. The Liverpool docks

large proportion of which space is devoted to
American vessels. This leading English
commercial city owes its enormous growth
and business prosperity almost entire to Amer
ican trade.
