THE MAN IN THE RESERVOIR.
A NIGHT ADVENTURE.

NIGHT ADVENTURE.
By THE LATE CHARLES FENNo HOFFMAN.
You may see some of the best society in
New York on the top of the distributing re-
servoir, any of these fine October mornings,
There were two or three carriages in wait
ing, and half dozen senatorial mothers
with their young children pacing the para
pet as we basked there the other day in the
sunshine-now watching the pickerel that
glide along the lucid edges of the black pool
within, and now looking off upon the scene
of rich and wonderous variety that spreads
along the two rivers on either side.
Well, you have seen the notice forbiding
any one to fish in the reservoir. Now when
read that warning the spirit of the thing
struck me at once as infering nothing more
than that one should sully the temperance
potations of our citizens by sleeping bait in
it of any kind. But you probably know
the common way of taking pike, with slip
moose, of delicate wire [ was determined
to have a touch at the fellows with this kind
of tackle.
[ chose moonlight night, and an hour
before the edifce was closed to visitors Sc
creted myself within the walls, determined
to pass the night on the top. All went as
Icould wish it. The night proved cloudy,
but it was only variable drift of broken
clouds which obscured the moon. [ had a
walking cane rod with me which would reach
to the margin Of the water, and several feet
beyond if necessary. TO this was attached
the wire, about fifteen inches in length,
I prowled along the parapet for consid-
cradle time but not single fish could see
The clouds made Pickering light and shade
that wholly foiled my steadfast gaze. I
was convinced that should they come up
thicker, my whole nights adventure would
be thrown away. ''Why should I not de-
scend the sloping wall and get nearer on a
level with the fish, for thus alone can [ hope
to see one ?" The question had hardly
shaped itself in my mind before [ had one
leg over the iron railing.
fyou look around you will see now that
there are some half dozen weeds growing
here and there, amid the fsures on solid
masonry. In one Of the assures from whence
these spring 1 planted foot and began my
descent. The reservoir was fuller than it
is now and a few strides would have carried
me to the margin of the water. Holding
on the cleft above, felt round with one foot
for place to plant it below me.

WORK FOR THE MONTH-JULY.

AS this month is the harvest month in
most ne 9f the great wheat producing States.
gave such hints as we believed would prove
conducive of good to the agricultural inte-
rest; we did SO then, to afford time to per-
feet all the preliminary arrangements, and
having done SO we respectfully refer our
readers to our last number for the sugges-
tions we then made upon harvesting, and
shall now direct attention to such matters as
we deem connected with the labors of the
month. 80 -,
HAY HARVEST. The most eligible time
for cutting grass for hay, is when it is in full
bloom. Many let their timothy remain un-
cut until the leaves become dried up, and
when, in fact, there is little else remaining
but the stalks and seed heads. But we think
this is mistaken policy. Whilst the stems
and leaves are growing and green they con-
tain considerable quantities of gum and sac
charine matter, which on ripening are con-
verted, to great extent, into. indigestible
woody fibre: the residue goes into the seeds.
Now, as observant farmers. know, large
quantities Of hay seeds are shattered out and
lost, SO that their nutrimental value is but of
little avail to the stock and, therefore,
grass should not be permitted to remain un-
cut much beyond the period when it comes
into bloom: Timothy hay, if cut when the
seeds are ripe, as is indicated by analysis,
contains more nitrogen than when cut at an
earlier period, viz when in bloom; but
then, we should take these facts into consi-
deration Il. The leaves wither and die be-
fore the seeds are ripe. q. The main stems
becomes transformed into wood-like substan-
ces, are coarse and comparatively indigesti-
ble 8. Grass cut when in bloom does not
exhaust the soil so much, as it does when
cut at the time the seed is ripe; the hay
when cured from grass cut when in bloom,
is not so coarse as is the former, is more
easily masticated. by stock, is more easily
digested, and infinitely more acceptable to
their appetites; and for the reasons that we
have stated, we believe that the hay is in
reality more nutritive.' s. ---.' r
MILLEr.-The loss of cattle by actual STAR
uation during the past season make us par
ticularly anxious to see provision made now,
to protect domestic animals from similar dis
asters the next winter and spring and hence
we call upon all agriculturists who may an
ticipate short supply of long provender, to
seize the present occasion, and put in some
acres in millet to make up their contempla-
ted deficiency. Millet may be sown. up to
the 10th of this month, and will be ready to
be cut for hay by the middle of next month,
or at least by the Goth. ,.-.-s, ,r~ e..
The time Of cutting is, when the seed first
begin to turn yellow at the top of the head,
The quantity of seed to be sown per acre for
hay is three pecks. Of the quantity of ma
mure it may be briefly said, he who wishes a
luxuriant crop of millet, must be bountiful
in his supply Of nutriment- the organic
supply of manure be Of whatever kind it may.
Millet is a hearty eater, and, when we'll fed,

The BIBLE.-One of the most remarka-
BILE results Of modern research is the confr-
nation of the accuracy of the historical books
of the Old Testament. The ruins Of Baby
Ion and Nineveh shed light on those books
which no scepticism can invalidate. The
thing which surprises us most is their mar
vellous accuracy in minute details, which
are now substantiated by recent discoveries.
The fact seems to be that when writing was
laboriously performed on stone, men had an
almost superstitious conscientiousness in
making their records true, and had not learn
ed the modern indifference to truth which
our facile modes of communicating thought
have encouraged. A statement to be CHS
eled on, rock must be correct; a statement
which can be written in five minutes is like
ly to embody only first impressions, which
may be amended in five minutes hereafter.
Hence it comes to pass that we know more
exactly many things which took place in the
wars between Sennacherib and Hezekiah,
than we know what is the precise truth with
regard to some of the occurrences in the
battle Of Bunker Hill: Sir Henry Rawlin-
son, speaking of his researches at Babylon,
states that the name and situation of every
town of note in ancient Assyria mentioned
in the Bible, can be substantiated by the
ruins of that city. The visit of the Queen
of Sheba to Solomon is perfectly verified.
The prosecution of these researches will be
regarded with great interest as corroborat-
ing the truth of Scripture

Moose, however standing upon the

manner, as I flung that pound pickerel over
the iron railing upon the top Of the parapet.
The rod: as T have told you, barely reached
from the railing to the water. It was a
heavy strong bass rod, which I had borrow
edAn stlfe Spirit Of the Times Office; and
when Idiscovered that the fish at the end of
the wire made strong knot to prevent me
from drawing my tackle away from the rail-
ing, around which it twined itself as threw

little difficulty in making my way up the
face Of the wall with such assistance. The
ladder which attracted your notice, is, as
you see, laslred to the iron railing in the
spot where thus made my escape;
and for fear of similar accidents, they have
placed another one in the corresponding
corneref the other compartment of the tank,
ever since my remarkable nights adventure

l have two precious jewels,
For dearer unto me,
Than all the wealth that lies concealed
Beneath the deep blue sea.
Two treasured pearls that are to me,
OF more exceeding worth
Than millions of Golconda's gems,
Or heaps Of yellow earth.
Our cottage is their casket;
There they shine brighter far
Unto mine eyes, than sun or moon
And every silvery star;
For. if the glittering host above
Were blotted from my sight,
Could they remain within my heart
Would shine constant light.
o! full to Overlooking
Would be affections cup,
If He who watches DER my gems
Should bid me give them up.
Then Peace and Joy would spread their wings
And from my bosom fly;
And Loves bright flowers, oppressed by grief
Would fade and droop and die.

To send Thy angels down.
To bear aloft these Jewels rare
And place them in Thy crown

Beside thy dladem,

BEE MOTHS Look to the bees and set
your moth traps, by raising the hives and
resting the corners, On fiat bits of wood,
followed out on the bottom, so the moths
can go under and spin their winding sheets,
and you can raise their cover every few
days, and do the job for them. Be faith
full in this work now, and you will save the
propagation of thousands to trouble the
hives in the fall. Also, see that you have
the spare hives ready to house the new
swarms, when they come. We have seen
a good many patent hives and palaces, but
we do not knew of better hive for farmers
than clean plank box, with hole in the
top for extra caps, to take off surplus ho-
ney.

BRIGHT Hours AND GLooMY-Ah, this
beautiful world indeed I know not what to
think of it. Sometimes it is all gladness
and sunshine. and heaven itself lies not far
off; and then it suddenly changes, and is
dark and sorrowful, and the clouds shut out
the day. In the lives Of the sadest of US
there are bright days like this, when we
feel as if we could take the great world in
our arms. Then. come gloomy hours, when
the fire will not burn on our hearths, and
all is dismal, cold and dark. Believe me,
every heart has its secret SORROWS, which
the world knows not, and oftentimes we call
a man cold, when he is only sad.-Long-

MORAL INFLUENcE.-Away among the
Alleghenies there is spring, so small that
ia single OK, in a summers day, could drain
it dry. It steals its unobtrusive way among
the hills, till it spreads out in the beautiful
Ohio Thence it stretches away thousand
miles, leaving on its banks more than hun
dred villages and cities, and many thousand
cultivated farms, and bearing on its bosom
more than half thousand steamboats,
Then joining the Mississippi, it stretches
away and away some twelve hundred miles
more, till it falls into the great emblem Of
eternity. It is one Of the great tributaries
of the ocean, which, obedient only to God,
shall roll and roar till the angel. with one
foot on the sea and the ether On the land,
shall lift up his hand to heaven, and swear
that time shall be no longer. So with NOR

er-an ocean, boundless and fathomless as
