a PARAGRAPH on interest from Henry
Ward Beecher's pen:--
No blister draws sharper than interest
does. OF all industries none is comparable
to That Of interest. II works day and night,
in fair weather and foul II has no sound
in its footsteps, bat travels fast. IL gnaw'
at a mans substance with invisible teeth
It binds industry with its film. rs fly i
bound upon spiders web. Debt rolls
man over and over, binding him hand and
loot, and letting him hang upon the iata
mesh until tho long.legscd interest devour'
him. There is no crop that can afford t
pay iuterss. money on iarm. Tsere is bu
one thing raised on farm like it, and tha
is the Canada thistle, which swarms new
plants every time you break IT'S root who's
blossoms are very prolific, and every Howe
father Of a million seeds. Every leaf is al
awl, every single plan, il like platoon Q
bayoncis, and Geld full Of them is like a'
armed host. The whole plant is o tormen
and a vegetable curse. And yet farme
had better make his bed Of Canada thistle
than TO lie at ease upon interest.

BaoILED MAcKEREL. The following good
story Is told OF member Of Congress from
Ohio: THE venerable Gen. H----was
for several consecutive years returned to
Congress and the hotels and boarding hou.
ses in Washington City, In those days, were
all on par, or other below par the mem.
bers were in tho habit Of occupying, year
after year, the sime rooms. The table OF
Gen. ll's boarding house, (Which was kept
by q widow lady and her two daughtcrs,l
was regularly furnished with stereotypcd
dinners, and ut one end of tho table always
appeared q broiled mackercl. Gen. H.,
whose seat is near the fish, had gazed so
frequently upon it-(or it was never touched
only by the cook-that no knew il all by
heart Now, f the distinguished repres.
entative had any one particular virtue, 1t
was an aff,ctionats desire to make every
person and creature happy. In the course
of time Congress adjournd, and Gen. H.,
paid his bill to the widow, and got ready to
start hone. The stage stopped at the door,
and the old gentleman, showing the good
ness Of his heart, took the widow by the
hand and pressing It bade her farewell then
kissing the daughters, said he would like to
see them in Ohio. AMI furnish them with
good husbands &c., but even this was not
all. The black boys, who stood along the
walls, were not forgotten, and grinncd us he
handed each silver dollar. AS he passed
around the breakfast table, which was not
yet cleared off, he saw the old friend the
mackerel. The tears came into his eyes,
and raised it by the tail with his thumb and
finger, parted with it, saying; Well, good
by, good by, my old boy; you and have
served long campaign together but, (wip-
ing his cyes,) suppose we shall meet again
next winter. Good The old gentleman
rapidly left the house, and jumping into the
stage, ratified or and fortunately for his
ears, the widow never saw him again."
