REMARKABLE FOUNTAIN IN FIoRIDA.-
Taking narrow path, I crossed through
some dense underwood, and all at once stood
on the banks of the Wakulla Spring. There
was basin Of water one hundred yards in
diameter, almost circular. The thick bushes
were almost growing to the waters edge, and
bowling their heads under the unIippled sur
face. F. stepped into skitf and pushed off,
Some immense fishes attracted my attention,
and seized spear to strike them. The boat
men laughed, and asked me how far below
the surface supposed they were! an
sw cred about four feet. lie assured me they
were at least twenty from me, and it was SO.
The water is of the most marvellous transpa-
rency. dropped an ordniry pin in the
water, forty feet deep, and saw its head with
perfect distinctness as it lay on the bottom.
AS we approached the center, noticed a
jaggish, craving limestone rock beneath us,
pierced with holes one seemed to look into
unfathomable depths The boat moved
slowly on, and now we hung trembling over
the edge of the sunked cliff. and far below il
lay dark, yawning, unfa,homable abyss -
From its gorge forth, with immense velocity

EFFECT OF THE HUMAN VOICE. No sound,
however loud, whether produced by cannon
or fowling- piece, causes the same amount
Of terror among wild ANIMALS and wild birds,
as the human voice. We have always known
more grouse to be sprung by sportsmen
speaking to their dogs, or to each other on
the mountains, in the shooting season, than
by any other cause and it is rule with
srortsmen only to make use of the whistle
and signs to their dogs such as taking off the
hat, etc.. and a wicked and cross look has
often more good effect upon dog than a
whipping. So, likewise, in snipc- shooting,
one word spoken springs more birds than
twenty shots. If you so to rabbit burrow
to ferret, you may bang away all day with
your gun, and the rabbits will still bolt but
commence speaking, and your sport is over,
the ferret lies in, apd the rabbits submit ia
certain death sooner than move towards your
voice. Partridges are so much accustomed
to the loud voices of farmers and laborers
that generally speaking, you may talk as
much as you like in pursuit Of them. Moth.
ing proves the power Of man over the brute
creation more than his voice. Even in the
thickest jaUgles, wild beasts will skulk away
if they bear him speak.

Geographic Origin OF Cereal Grains.

Geographic Origin OF Cereal Grains
| The London Friend gives the following as
the origin Of several of the cereal grains -
The culture of Wheat 1'riticum 1Hl3orc
doubtless mounts up to the date when 1t was
ordained that man should cam bis bread by
the sweat of his brow. In China, NJ. Stanis
las Julien has shown that it was grown %, p
years before the Christian era. and many pas
| sagcS of Holy Writ show that it was known
long before this 10 Egypt and Palestine In
CHINA It's introduction is attributed to thu
Emperor Chinnong. In the eighth chapter OF
Deuteronomy, Moses speaks Of the land OF
promise as a land Of wheat and barley and
although the plant has not been met with III
an indispntably indigenous condition, his
torlc and lngui tic testimony point alike to
the Western and Central Asia as the region
where it had its origin. In Western Asia.
and among the Egyptians, Barley may lay
Claim to cultivation as ancient as that Of
wheat. Of the three species which are
commonly used, that with six ranks Horde
I'm herastichoH) seems to have been the eari-
est employed: but all three were known to
the Greeks, and are spoken of by Theophra-
tns. The tworanked plant (Hordeum dis
tichon) has been found lately in q clearly
aboriginal condition on the shores of the Cas-
plan sea and we cannot doubt that barley,
also, has had its home in Western Asia.
The Rye (SccQle cereole) has no Sanscrt
name, and was unknown to the ancient
Egyptians. 1t is spoken of by Greek au.
thors as grain grown in Thracc and Mace
donna. and by Pliny as used by the Taurino.
tribe located at the foot of the Alps. Lin
guistic data point out an extensive culture,
at an ealy era, in the region that lies be-
tween the Back Sea and the Alps aud
from the indications Of the authors of the
floras of the different provinces of Austria
it seems to have been originally Spontaneous
in That part of the world. Allied species
inhabit Sicily, the Caucasus, and the islands
of the Grecian Archipelago.
The Dat (Arena sm,ua) was not cultiva-
ted by the Egyptians Hebrews, Greeks or
Romans, and has no Sanscrit' name. By
Pliny it is mentioned as used for bread by
the German tribes. The multiplicity of its
primitive name in the language of the Sclayo-
mic stock, and testimony of botanical authors
alike point to an origin. as in the case Of
the rye, i'll the western parts Of temperate
Europe, where, as well as in Siberia, several
allied species are to be met with
The Rice plant (Orl-a sotirG) is native Of
India, and its culture there mounts up to a
very remote antiquity. 1t is said to have
been introduced to China by the emperor

has been di!tuSed for long time in the east
crn part Of Africa. In the time Of S;rabo it

and Syria. By the Mlhometans it was spread
round the basin of the Mediterranean and by
the moderns imported to the Western hclAis-
phcre.

SMALL TALK. OF all the experiments to
make the heart lean, the brain gauzy, and to
thin life down into consistency Of cambria
kcrchief, the most successful is the little
talk and tattle which, in some charmed cir
clcs, is courageously styled conversation.
How human beings can live on such meagre
lare-how continued existence in such IA
mine of topics on such short allowance of
sense-is great question, if philosophy
could only search it ont. All we know is
that such men and women there are, who
will go on from fifteen TO foursco:c, and
never hint on their tonbstones, that they
died at last of consumption of the head and
marasmus of the heart. The whole universe
of God, spreading out its splendors and ter
rors pleading for their attention, and they
wonder = where Mrs. Somebody got that d.
vine ribbon to her bonnetm The whole
world Of literature, through its thousand
trumps of fame, adjuring them to regard gar
nered stores Of emotion and thought, and
they think its high time, If John intends
to marry Sarah, for him to pop the question:
When, to DO sure, this frippcry is spiced
with little envy and malice, and prepares
its small dishes Of scandal and nice bits OF
detraction, it becomes endowed with a slight
We nomous vitality. which does pretty well in
the absence Of soul, to carry on the ma
chincry Of living, if not the reality Of life.

A SMART JUsrloE. --Storrs Township, Ohio,
boasts of smart Justice whose decisions
rival any Dutch magistrate on the Hudson
River. a banking house in Cincinnati
brought an action against one Of the citizens
of Storrs for $40, which sum had long been
due. and 1t was now demanded with interest
at the rate charged when the money was
lent. The decision of the Court was -
Il. Both Attorneys in the above case
must be held responsible for the costs.
q. Any person putting his money in SUCH
a place should lose it,.
IS. The claim is rather ancient.
90. Four per cent per month is unconsti-
tutona in Storrs Township.
IS. No monopoly of that kind can recover
from the citizens of Storrs Township.
&c. Judgement against Screw, jew & Co.
for costs.
81. Notice of appeal considered contempt
of Court in Storrs Township.

Beatrice.

How was worthy so divine loss,
Deepening my midnights, kindins all my morns'
Why waste suck precious wood to make my cross,
Such sought roses for my crown of thorns
And when she came, how earned 7 such gift!
Why spend ON me, poor earth .delving mole,
The frcside sweetnesses the heavcnward lift,
The hourly mercy of woman's soul!
All did We know to give her all her right,
What wonders even in our poor clay were done
1t is not Woman leaves us to our light,
Its our earth that glovels from her SUM-
Our nobler cultured folds and gracious domes
We whirl too oft from her who still shines on
To light in vain ayes and clefts the homes
OF nght-bird instincts panied till she be gone
Still must this body sarve our souls with shade;
But when Death makes us what we were before
Then sha her sunshine all our daphts invade,
And not shadow stain heavens crystal floor

SPEAKING WE'LL OF OTHERS The follow
ing article inculcatcs much good advice in a
small space: -
If the disposition to speak well of others
were universally prevalent, the world would
become comparative paradise. The oppo

when opened, ILLS every neishborhood with
pain and sorrow. How many enmi.ies and
heart burnings flow from this source How
much happiness is interrupted and destroyed
Envy, jealousy, and the malignant spirit of
evil when they find vent by the lips, go forth
on their mission like foul fcnds, to blast the
reputation and peace o! others. Every one
has his impcrfections, and in the conduct of
the best there Will b. occas' Onal faults. which
might Seem to justify anlnadversion. 1t is
\ rule, however, when there is occasion for
fault finding, to do it privately to the crrlng
one. This will prove salutary. 1t is proof
of interest in the individual. which will
generally be taken kindly, if the manner Of
doing it is not offensive. The common and
unchristian rule, on the contrary, is to pro-
claim the falings Of others to all but them.

IMPORTANT Discovery An experiment
has lately been tried in Paris, after a new
system, by which hides AID skins Of all de-
scriptons may be dried in n few minutes,
without any machinery and in all ATTITUDES.
Skins so dried are preserved without any un.
pleasant smell or diminution of weight or
quality. They are dried at the small ex-
pense of four sous the OK hide, and are said
to be superior to those dried in the sun.
South America supplies more than - ,000,-
900 lbs. weight of green hides which arrive
in France in bad condition, sometimes in a
state of decomposition with considerable loss
to the owners. This new process will, it is
said, preserve them completely.
