THE BEST TINE TO TAKE PHOTOGRAPH
At present no observation or experience has
suficed to determine the state of atmosphere in
which the Photographic spirits are most propi-
tous; no rule or order seems to guide their pro-
ceedings You 60 out on a beautifully clear
day, not a breath stirring, chemicals in ORDER
and lights and shadows in perfection but some
thing In the air is absent, or present, or iDdo-
lent, or restless, and you return in the evening
only to develop set of blanks. The next day
is cloudy and breezy, your chemicals are ne
elected, yourself disheartened, hope is gone,
and with it the needful care; but here again
some thing in the air is favorable, and in the ST.
lence and darkness of your chamber pictures
are summoned from the vasty deep which at
once obiiterate all thought of failure. Happy
the photographer who knows what is his enemy,
or what is his friend but in either case it is too
often something" he can't tell what and all
the certainty that the best of experience attains
is, that you are dealing with one of those subtle
agencies which, though Brial-like, it will serve
you bravely, will never be taught implicitly to
obey.
As respects the time of the day, however, one
law seems to be thoroughly established. 1t
has been observed by Daguerre, and subsequent
photographers, that the sun is far more active,
in Photographic sense, for the two hours be-
fore, than for the two hours after il has passed
the meridian. As general rule, too, however
numerous the exceptions, the cloudy day is
better than the sunny one. Contrary, indeed,
to all preconceived ideas, experience proves
that the brighter the sky that shines above the
c'mera, the more tardy the action within it.
Italy and Malta do their work slower than
Paris. Under the brilliant Light Of a Mexican
sun, half an hour is required to produce effects
hich in England would occupy but minute.
In the burning atmosphere Of India, though
photographically the year round, the process is
comparatively slow and dificult to manage
while in the clear, beautiful, and, moreover,
cool light Of the higher Alps of Europe, it has
oeen proved that the production of q picture
re eluires many more minutes, even with the
most sensitive preparations than in the murky
atmosphere OF London.-Qnarteriv Reviep.

measure arrested, partly in consideration of the
prospective wants of the railroad and ship
builder, and the process of restoration has been
commenced, by replanting many acres with
young trees After speaking Of trees as an Or
nament, and the many classical memories
which they servo to perpetuate, as the "rugged
yew-treesn where Gray lies buried-to "Mil-
reviewer speaks Of trees as productive property,
as follows: -l.. ~
1t can be demonstrated that the best use for
the larger pari of the cleared land of New Eng
land would be to plant forests upon it, There
is-except in the rich gardens close around the
cities-no land so profitable, no land which
pays so good an interest on its cost as wood
land. In some parts of Massachusetts,, q man
who owns hundred acres of pasture is little
better than q bankrupt while he who owns a
hundred acres Of forest is independently rich.
The first must pay taxes on what does not pay
for its culture, while the second can cut off
enough to meet the annual interest, yet have
more at the end than at the beginning.
We once heard an eccentric genius maintain
that his woodland, about fifty acres in all.
though he had bought it and paid for it good
round sum some thirty years before, had in
reality never cost him cent; "for," said he,
" L have cut of wood enough to pay not only
the original outlay, but to meet all the worth
OF the money at compound interest, and to
cover all charges, and now have more wood
than 1 found there at the beginning" 1t was
a rational logic enough.
We are confident that, at the present prices
of timber and fuel, the profits of woodland to
our New England farmers are Mt least three
times as great as the profits of the land which
they cultivate with so much labor. The ex-
pertinent of planting locusts on Long Island
has proved that lands, before considered value
less, may become the most precious possession
Of their owners. Thousands Of acres now lying
waste might, with very small outlay, be made
to yield very great returns. The length of
time that must pass before the profit of these
artificial forests can be tested undoubtedly de-
ters many from planting them. Very few men
like to make an investment of which the re-
turns begin to come only after twenty or thirty
years But every man knows that whatever
raises the value of his land is as sure profit as
that which actually puts cash into mis- pocket.
There seems to be less promise in an acre of
young locusts than PIN an acre of thriving tur-
nips; but in twenty years the value Of all the
annual turnips will not begin to reach the value
Of the trees. The longer the planter is willing
to wait, the greater will be his ratio Of gain

MARRIED IN SPITE OF THENSELvES.-Old
Gov. Saltonstall, of COnnee tieut, who iourished
Some fifty years since, was man of some hu-
NOR, as well as perseverance in efecting the
ends he desired. Among other anecdotes told
of him by New London people, the place where
he resided, is the following:
Of the various sects which havc dOurished for
their day and then ceased to exist, was one
one known as the Rogersites, 30 called from
their founder John or Tom or some other
Rogers--who settled not far from the goodly
town aforesaid.
The distinguished tenet of the sect was the
denial of the propriety and scrtptnraiity of the
form Of marriage. :" 1t is not good for man to
be alone" This they believed and also that
one wife only should cleave to her husband"
but then this should be a matter Of agreement
merely, and the couple should come together
and live as man and wife, dispensing with all
forms Of the marriage covenant. The old gov
ernor used frequently to call upon Rogers and
talk the matter over with him. and endeavor to
convince him Of the improperly Of living with
Sarah as he did. But neither John nor Sarah
would z We up the argument.
1t was matter of conscience with them
they were very happy together as they we're
of what use then could mere matter Of form
be? Suppose they would thereby escape scan.

He was in the neighborhood Of John one day,
and meeting with him, accepted an invitation
to dine with him. The cOnveI sation, as usual,
turned upon the old subject. ,.l lo ~.
"Now, john" says the governor after a
long pause, "why will you MOI marry Sarah
Have you not taken her to be your welded
wife %
Yes, certainly" replied John, " but my
conscience will not permit me to marry me, In
the form Of the worlds people"
Very we'll But you love her."
" Yes"
"And cherish her, as bone of your bone, and
flesh of your fesh? .....
eyes, certainly do.''
Z" And you, Sarah, love him, and obey him,
and respect him, and cherish him?
Then, cried the Governor, rising, " In the
name of the laws of God and Of the Common
wealth of Connecticut pronounce you to be
husband and wife,
The rawlings and rage of John and Sarah
were Of no ayail-the knot was tied by the
