GOLD An CONN.

We have rarely met n more truly elo-
quent and beautiful extract than this ad-
mirable contrast between the gold of Cali
fornia and the gold of Agriculture, taken
from the speech Of the Hon, Elwrrd Ever
EFT. at the National Agricultural Fair, at
Boston October 26th:
The g%rainso of the California gold arc
dead, Inorganic masses. How they got
into the gravel; between what mountain
millstones, whirlel by elementary storm
winds on the bosom of oceanic torrents
The aurilerous lodges were ground to pow
der; by what Titanic hands tho coveted
grains were sown broadcast in the placers,
human science can not family Conjecture
We only knowthat those grains have with.
in them no principle of growth or repro.
duction, and that when that crop was to be
put in, Chaos must have broken up the
soil. How different the grains of our At
lantic gold, sown by the prudent hand Of
man. in the kindly alienation OF seed time
and harvest;each curiously organized; hard
horny seeming liCelIss on the outside, but
wrapping up in the interior n seminal
germ. a liqing principle. Drop agrain of
California gold into the ground and there
it will lie unchanged TO the end Of time,
the clods on which it falls not moro cold
aud l~ifeloss. Dropa grain of our goll. Of
our blessed gold, in the ground; and 10 u
mystery. In a few days it s%oftens, il
sTells, il shoots upwards, it is a living
thing. 1t is yellow itself, but it sends up
a delicate spire. which comes peeping, EN-.
erald green, through the soil; il expands
TO vigorous stalk, revels in the air and
sunshine, it arrays itself more glorious than
Solomon 10 its broad huttering ,leafy robes
whose sound. as the west wind Whispers
through them, falls as pleasantly on the
husbandman's ear, as the rustic Of his
swect-hearts garment; still towers aloft,
spins Its yerlant skeins of veget be floss,
displays its dancing %t1ssels, surcharged
with fertiizing dus! an at last riIe IS into
two or three magnificent batous like hi,
Ian ear Of Indian corn) each OF which i
studied with hundreds of grains Of gold
every one possessing the same wonderful
prophecies as the parent grain, every or,
instinct with the same marvellous repro
ductiye powers. There are 720 grains o
the ear which ! hold in my hand. An
now, | say sir, Of this trans en- liant gol
tofourss the yield this year will be Mt lea
tener fifteen times that Of California.
