A bARM TO READ ABoUT.--The Ohio State
Journal gives the following description of the
farm of Gen. Worthington. near Chicothe.
While in Chillicothe, few days since. we
availed ourselves of an opportunity of visiting
the fine farm of Gen. Worthington, which is
located about two miles north of the city. upon
the high grounds that overlook the beautiful
valley of the Scioto
This farm contains about seven or eight
hundred acres of the best land in the garden
of Ohio, well supplied with the purest water.

orchards, for there are several. while the grape

Figs from the land of Smyrna, frijoles from
the plains of Mexico. and peas from the semi
civilized country of Japan. flourish in his well
cultivated gardens, objects Of curiosity to the
stranger. and of pride and qualification TO the
well cultivated taste of the General. A largo
stone mansion built for durability, comfort and
convenience by his ancestor. the late Gov
Worthington. stands upon the bluff, from the
top of which may be seen country all up
and down the winding Scioto, that. in our
humble opinion. surpasseth anything that can
be seen this side of Jordan.
Fronting the farm on the east. at the foot

containing about 3 acres. which is now
stocked with various kind of fishes, that await
his pleasure whenever he may choose to have

Seth, because know he's honest.
The widow was glad. for it was time for
kim 10 be earning something, and she thought
it would be quite lift in the world to have
him go in with Mr.. Train, and she knew that
he would suit Mr.. Train, for Seth did well
everywhere.
When Seth came home from school, he was
almost as much pleased with his good fortune
as his mother was. Neither mother nor son
knew anything about Mr.. Trains Store; it was
in the lower part of the town, but his family
lived near the widows in fine style. Seth
was TO 90 the next Monday morning; and at
the time he was punctual at his new post
The week passed away. When he came
home to dinner or supper. his mother would
ask him how he liked it. At first he said,
pretty well, and then, he didn't exactly know.
then, not very well; and Saturday he told his
mother plumply that he didn't like it at all.
and wasn't going TO stay.
Why, Seth. exclaimed his mother, grieved
and mortified at the change are you diff
cult to suit as all this comes 10? Do you know
how important it is to stick to your business?
What viii Mr.. Train say
Mother, answered the boy. the shop is a
gfOg Shop, ana cannon stay tnere!
The mothers mouth was stopped; indeed.
after that she had no wish TO have him remain
but she was very sorry that the case was so
When Mr.. Train paid the boy on Saturday
night, Seth told him he could not stay.
The shopkeeper was surprised! How is
this, said he; haven't l done well by you,
this week?
Yes. sir answered the boy; | never expect
To find "A kinder master.
Do you find fault with the pay?
No, sir, answered seth, it is good pay.
Well, what's the difficulty, then?
The poor boy hesitated TO give his reason
Perhaps the man guessed what it was. for he
said:
"Come, come, Seth, you won't leave me,
know; I'll raise your wages.
o, sir, answered the brave boy, respectful
ly, you are very good to me, very good. sir;

of lie wages--for l cannot forget that the
Bible says, the wages of sin is death.
Seth left: the man afterward said 1t was the
greatest sermon he ever had preached to him
and it set him seriously to thinking abou-
giving up the business; but he did not. and
bis own family bore awful testimony to the
Bible declaration. A few years afterwards.
he died the miserable death Of drunkard,
and within six months his son, in tit of in

WASHING SILvER.-A correspondent of the
Germantown Telegraph says: Some thirty
years since. was informed by the proprietor
of one of the largest and Oldest silver esab-
lishments in the city of Philadelphia. that
"housekeepers ruined their silver by washing
ii in soap-suds; it makes it look ike pewter.
never put particle of soap about your silver.
then it will retain its original lustre: when it
wants polishing take piece of soft leather
and whiting. and rub it hard" l had for
merly seen silver washed in water with the
addition of little soap and rinsed in clear
water. l adhered strictly TO his advice. and
found great difference in the appearance of

Yankee Flax Cotton

The Baltimore Patriot Of July 3oth says
Some years ago Claussen's patent. for convert
ing fax into cotton, created quite a sensation
in England. Considerable sums were en-
barked in the manufacture; but, after a fair
test Of ability to compete with the American
staple. the experiment was abandoned. In
New Jersey. also, the attempt to Manufacture
fax Gotten proved failure. owing to "a defect
in the invention, which necessitated the use
of powerful acid in cottoning the flax; thus
rendering it worthless, or comparatively so
for manufacture" But what the ingenious
Frenchmen did not succeed in accom- plishng,
has been effected. it is said by an eterprising
Yankee. who has produced, at a small ex pense,
An article which the editor of the New York
Mirror pronounces very fine. whether by it
self, or compared with the best real cotton"
The modus operandi is, If course. a secret;
but the Mirror editor has been permitted 10
witness the process, and he says:
I'm just twenty minutes of time, saw we a
wisp of second rate flax. not more than half
cleaned of the 'shive, transformed Presto
Change into white, curly, and, as il struck
US. beautiful cotton. All that was done was
to place the fax in bowl Of fluid, com pound
ed of two cheap, simple materials, dissolved
IN Croton. and instanter the explosion Of the
fibre and the bleaching began, and as before
said. in twenty minutes the cotton was made
All that is done with the flax is to thoroughly
explode all its kbres and bleach it-that is the
whole process, and there is no apparatus or
material required that is not easily and cheap
ly accessible to any farmer in the land, and
the conversion can be done in thmble, hold
ing 'scruple, or vat. holding ton Of flax
As to the manufacture of the article, it applies
to any cotton, wooden or worsted machinery"
1t is claimed for the Yankee cotton flax
that 1t can be manufactured cheaper than the
real cotton, that it is finer softer, aud strong
er material; that it will serve every purpose for
which cotton is used that in delaine fabrics
it will take fast colors, and the flax can be
grown any and everywhe If these claims
are borne out by subsequent results, our cot
ton growers destined to meet with serious
competition in field which they have hitler
