A ToUcn SToRY OF ToCGH PAIR OF
BREEoHEs.-The Spirit Of the Times re-
lates a story told by an old man who has
told it so often that he now religiously
believes it to be true:
when lived in Name" said the
old man, 81 helped break up new piece
of ground we got the wood off in the
Winter, and arly in the Spring we begun
to think of plowin' ont 1t was so con-
sarned rocky, that we had to get forty
yoke ofoxen to one plow-we did, faith
and l held the pillow for more than a
weck--I thought l should die. 1t cen
Almost killed me, I yum Why, one
day was holdin', and the pillow it hit a
stump, which measured Just nine foot
and half through it-hard and sound
oak. The pillow split it, and l was going
straight through the stump, when hap
pened to think it might snap together
again SO L just threw my feet out, and
had no sooner done this, than it snap
ped together, taking smart hold of the
seat of my pantaloons. OF course, I was
tight, but l held on to the pillow handles,
and tho the team did all they could, that
team of eighty oxen couldn't tear my
pantaloons, nor cause me to let go my
grip. At last, though, after letting the
cattle breathe. they gave another strong
pull altogether, and the old stump came
out about the quickest-ith had monstrous
long roots, too, let me tell you. My wife
made the cloth for them pantaloons. and
l hain't worn any other kind since"
An old chap standing by, on one Of
these occasions, quietly remarked. !" It

EARLIEST FooD FOR BEEs.-In con-
versstion the other day with worthy
and observing farmer, he remarked that
the earliest food for bees, in the Spring,
is maple sap. He states that he has seen
them gather round the sap troughs, in
the woods. during the warm days in the
Spring, before tine buds or tassels of the
willow and other trees and shrubs had
put ont, slipping and making themselves
glad with the sweets that they find there.
1t wouldn't be a bad plan, if person
had any NAPLES in the vicinity of his
hives, to tap them for the use of his bees.

its FouRTEESTH YEAR, and will enter upon a
New Volume on the llth Of September. 1t is
the only weekly publication Of the kind now is
sued in this country, and it hasa very extensive
circulation in all the States of the Union. II is

trary, it so deals with the great events going on
in the scientific, mechanical and industrial
worlds, as n please and instruct every one. II
the Mechanic or Artizan wishes to know the
best machine in use, or how to make any sub
stance employed in his business-if the House
wife wishes TO get recipe for making good
color, &c.-if the Inventor wishes to know what
is going on in the way Of improvements-if the
Manufacturer wishes to keep posted with the
times, and to employ the best facilities in his
busiDess-if the Man of Leisure and Study wish
es to keep himself familiar with the progress
made in the chemical laboratory, or in the con-
struction of telegraphs, steamships, railroads,
reapers, mowers, and thousand other machines
and appliances, both Of peace and war-all these
desiderdtG can be found in the SCIENTIFIC AME-
McAN, and not elsewhere. They are here pre-
scented in q reliable and interesting form, adap-
ted to the comprehension of minds unlearned in
the higher branches of science and art.

IUr 9HGT IMpUDENT RASCAL OUT.-
Wnlle the eonS'~eation were collecting
at the church, on cerra;-1 occasion. an
old, dark, hard featured, skin and bo.e
individual, was seen near the pulpit.
The officiating minister was one of that
class who detested written sermons, and
as for prayers, he thought they ought to
be the natural ontpouriugs oflths heart.
After the singing was concluded, the
house, as usual, was called to prayer.
The genius we have introduced did not
kneel, but leaned his head devotionally
on the back Of the pew The minister
began by saying" Father of all, in ev-
cry age, by saint and savage adored, -
'Pope," said low, but clear voice, near
old hard features. The minister, after
casting an indignsnt look in the direction
of the voice, continued" whose throne
sittetlI on the adamantine hills of Para
dise,-'' Niltoa," again interrupted the
voice. The minister's lips quivered for
moment, but recovering himself, began
we thank thee, most gracious Faith
er, that we are permitted to assemble
once more in thy name, while others
equally meritsrious, but less favored,
have been carried beyond that bourne
from which no traveller returns.''--
" Shakspeare,'' interrupted the voice.
This was too much. "Put that impu-
dent rascal out 20 shouted the minister.
/" Original" calculated the voice, in the
same calm but provoking manner.
"What is yoIr. opinion of o our ne new
minister ?" said Mrs. Prattle to Mrs.

WINES vs. REMEMBRANCE.

Mr. James Q. PutuFm, citizen of Bdffa- To, New Yo.k, w'ites f,On Spaih to the Buffa- 10 Adyelii iiset, an interesting letter in regard to the d,L'king ha,its. of the people. His
 observations go to confirm the Statements of ', ted made that tue people of wine growing
 countries, who use wine as al oidua,y driuk :: at t5eir tables, seldom fall into habits of in- temperance. There is a matter for serious | thought in such sacts as these:
 "A few cents every where buys a bottle of wiae it's use is universal, there is never a
 meal without it. What is the effect of ths
 abundance aud this universal use upon the
 habits of the people ? l can only say that 1
 have sought toe most intelligent sources of iu- ioimation, and have not had but o.e reply, : ahd tbat is confirmed by my own observation, which has been uninquistive, that drunkenness is not vice of the country that excessive drinking of intoxicating liquor is not it's hab- it's that, wbile tbere are exceptional casee, as
 a nation it is one of sobiicty. It is not true
 that there is no drunkenness. But it is rare {;
 not habitual even in individuals, and is not felt as public evil. Nor is it true that wines
 drank to great excess will not intoxicate. You will think my curiosity little inperti- nent, but have visited hospitals both in Por-
 tugal and Spa'p, and inquired of their physi- claus if taey ever saw a case of delriun ire
 mens, tbat scourge which in our country opens
 the gateway to death to so many gifted and noble natu,es, aud their reply aas bceu that it
 was disease unknown to the county. Pri- ! vate practitioners to)d me the same thing.
 During the three months I have been in Spain
 l have seen but a single instance of intoxica- I tion this was on a tbull tighE day at Gre nada Another thing I have observed there is
 in Spain no constant d.an,-drihking. Fist,
 let me say the hotels in this couotry have no
 bars or saloons. The loungers- -and the couil- 1 try swarns with them--visit the cafes and
 club houses. The hotels are as quiet as q private dwelling But if you were to visit
 those evening resorts of the people to see their life, you might see them all driuking, but most
 of them world be driukihg nothing stronger
 than coffee or lemonade, without spirits of l any sort"

SHEEP AND DOGS

The strictures of Mir. Solon Robinson upon our agricultural shortcomings raised a storm of indignation at first, which, after sober second thought, seems to have subsidcd into a convic- tion that there might be some truth in his char coal sketches At the risk of touching other sore places, ask leave to revive topic, which, in my humble judgment, is quite as discredta- blc to the intelligence of the farming popula- to-, as any of the dcformities enumerated by Mir. Robinson allude to the decided prefer ence manifested by Connecticut farmers for raising dogs rather than shtep
 l am told, Mcssrs. Editors, that no man, bilious of political advancement can advocate in the Legislature any efficient law for protect ing the most valuable stock we can raise That 1t is the most remunerative has heretofore been satisfactorily demonstrated in your col nmns and such being the fact, beg respect fully to ask, why is it that this source of prof it should be given up by class of men, pro verbally keen in discerning and pursuing their own interest A large majority of our Lcgis- lature consists of farmers, who have the power, if they choose to exercise it, at any time, to put an end to tlfs nuisance of dogs, which has almost aMnillilated sheep culture in our State.
 Mutton (when the butcher can get hold of it) commands, even in our villages, fourteen or fifteen cents per pound, and wool also is in re- quest; and will farmers tamely submit to Je de- prived of Me pririiege of raising it, because dog famic icrs choose to Keep Msir mseless and un prctitaUe pets {?
 What interests would suffer were every dog in the State exterminated ? How much could be saved that they consume, and of what val- ue aro~they, living or dead? Their clamp- ons prate of their fidelity to the;r masters, aud their use as protectors Of property. They are as apt to bite a friend as an enemy of their owners, and every burglar knows how to rid himself of them, when he meditates the plumber of property More than all, they can, and do communicate when rabid, the most horrible and fatal disease known to men.
 Tam glad to perceive that other States are awakened to the enormity of this evil, as may be learned by the following extract ,fom pa- per published in Pennsylvania. L.
 DESTRUCTION OF SHEEP BY DoGs.-1he as- sessors in Ohio, under an act Of the Ilcgisla- tlre, have endeavored to ascertain the total number of sheep killed and injured by dogs during the year 1858. The retu,hs from only few counties have been published aud these, few as the counties are, disclose feari,il a. mount of slaughter. We append the returns of eleven counties, covering not more than one- eighth of the State
