been peculiarly the in the old Atlantic States.
Vast bodies of land have been cleared scourged and
exhausted by farmers, many of whom entertained
the erroneous opinion that land was made to be
worn out; and having, as they thought accom-
plished their work farmers in their first localities
they have removed to distant regions ana settled
new soil. This exhausting process was formerly as
common in the Northern and Eastern States as in
this; but their means of INSTRUMENTATION and Of
reaching the markets of the world which early
established and the demands for breadstuffs and
lfe-sustainng food of all kinds, created by their
rapidly increasing populaton-the result in large
degree of emigration from Europe--gave an extra
ordinary impetus to agricultural production, which
has been steadily kept up, and the fruits of which
are seen in all directions in neat and almost perfect
farms, and in prosperity which no common depres-
sion or calamity can seriously impair, much less de-
stroy Large portions of New jersey for example,
which were formerly barren and apparently untilla-
BILE, have been reduced to cultivation and are now
yielding the most remunerating returns to agricul

added millions to the income of her people, while
the value of the permanent body thus given to their
lands cannot be estimated in dollars AID cents We

tn RusJNFss MEN -Everv husinesa man

To BUSINESS MEN.-Every business man
and mechanic, who has a proper apprecia-
ton of the true mode of doing business,
ought to have impressed upon his memory
the fact that no man should be delicate about
asking for what is properly his due. If he
neglects doing so, he is deficient in the spirit
of independence which he should observe in
all his actions. Rights are rights, and if
not granted, should be demanded. The
selfish world is little inclined to give him his
own, unless he have the manliness to claim
it. The lack Of proper fulflment of this
principle has lost to many, fortune, fame and
reputation. Occasionally customer, who
is less gentleman than an upstart, puts on
naughty airs and affects to be insulted at
being dunned for money that he ought to
have paid long before. No matter. The
laborer is worthy of his hire. We know it
is unpleasant to be dunned, and equally un-
pleasant to dun other people: nevertheless
circumstances sometimes require that We
submit to both but we would be sorry to
get 'wrathy' at man because he asked us
for his own, and think man very small po-
tatoes, who will fly in passion when We
demand small bill.-Ahens Herald.

A TALKING FISH"

On Tuesday there arrived in Manchester,
for exhibition, an animal styled "TalkiDg
Fish," which, no doubt, will prove source
of attraction to the public in general and the
naturalist in particular. Amongst others,
we paid visit yesterday afternoon, and were
much grati6ed by what We saw. The term
"ish," however, appears to be a misnomer,
for there can be no doubt that the animal is
a specimen of the small-taied seal, phoca
leptonyr of De Blainville, the stenorhynchus
leptonyr of Fred. Cuv;er, and described as
such by DR.. Hamilton in the eighth volume
of the "Naturalists' Library" referred to
also by Professor Owen, under the same
name, in the 18th vol. of the "Annals of
Natural History" (1s43, p. 331,) but not
the species described and figured under that
name by DR.. Gray, in the illustrations to
the voyage of the Erebus and Terror, and
mentioned in the British Museum catalogue
BY the same authority, to which he has given
the trivial name of "Sea Leopard" In
this opinion Mr. Moore of the Derby Mu-
scum agrees. 1t is an antarctic species, and
by no means common in the Museums. The
animal was captured on the Southwest coast
of Africa some five years ago. What may
have been the course of training to which it
has been subjected, we are unable to say ;
but there can be no doubt of this, that the
animal readily compreheuds what is said to
it, although the auditory ori6ces, which are
situated behind and below the eyes, are in
visible. If it be told to turn over, i; at once
obeys the command and repeats the evou-
tion as often as directed. It is provided
with two fore fappers, having shoulder
blades, shoulder bones, arm and wrist bones,
which are of great strength, and it extends
either the right or the left one, as the keeper
commands; elevating both, in an appealing
attitude, when requested. The brain cavity
is large, and the brain highly couvoluted,
being ranked by Professor Owen in the high
est of his animal brain types. Itisextreme-
ly docile; and, although possessing mouth
full of formidable teeth, will kiss its keeper
with an appearance of affection, and when
desired, will pronounce the words "Mamma'
and "Papa" with considerable clearness Of
articulation. The animal subsists upon fish.
and consumes about 30 pounds weight ot
whiting per day. One peculiar habit it dis

NEWSPAPER MoRTAL1TY.-There is

NEWSPAPER MoRTAL1TY.-There is a
regular mortality prevailing among newspa-
pers. Almost every mail brings news ofthe
death Of some one. The cholera is not more
fatal in q community than 'hard times a.
moug printers. An exchange says, that so
far as it has noticed, not one newspaper in
ten survives the second year. Perhaps this
mortality is overstated, though we would not
like to dispute the assertion. More money
has been lost in printing Offices than in any
other business requiring the same labor and
outlay of capital. The reason is obvious to
those who are familiar with the manner in
which newspapers are started, though others
may look on in wonder that so many live
hardly long enough to proclaim their birth.
Some little town wants to be blown into
uotoriety; a subscription of a few hundred
dollars is made up, and somebody's deluded
by fair promises to start a newspaper. Prob
ably one.haf the subscription is never paid !;
the fair promises are remembered only to be
broken. Necessity or pride keeps the pub
Usher at work until his money Gf he had
any) is exhausted, and his credit is utterly
gone. Then comes the natural result-the
paper stops, with debts owed and owing, e.
nough, it may be, to balance, but neither
paid, and general growl comes up against
the swindling printer.
Another frequent cause of the establish
ment of new paper is that some clique of
politicians or local interest becomes dissatis.
fed with the one already established. An
independent paper is wanted, which means
that the editors shall say and do just what
the disafectants shall dictate. The same
process as is witnessed in the ambitious little
town is adopted, and the result is the same.
Printing, as business, is like any other
business. There must be demand as we'll
as supply. A newspaper must be self
sustaining; gratuities destroy its indepen-
dence; or as the organ of clique it forfelts
its claims to the public confdeuce.-Neao's rs

A SUBLIME PERORATIoN.

The closing passage of Prof. Mitchell's
lecture, at New York, on Tuesday evening
was delivered with thrilling effect. Aftel
speaking of the unfathomable distances which
no telescope can penetrate, lying far beyond
the system in which the earth revolves, and
yet filled with Independent systems of in
finite numbers, he said:
Light traverses space at the rate of mil.
lion miles minute, yet the light from the
nearest star requires ten years to reach the
earth, and Herscheps telescope revealed stars
two thousand three hundred times further
distant. The great telescope of Lord Ross
pursued these creations of God still deeper
into space, and having resolved the nebula
of the milky Way into stars, discovered
other systems of stars-.beautiful diamond
points glittering through the black darkness
beyond When he beheld this amazing
abyss-when he saw these systems scattered
profusely throughout space-when he refec
ted upon their immense distance, their enor-
nous magnitude, and the countless millions
of worlds that belonged to them, it seemed
to him as though the wild dream of the Ger
man poet was more than realized.
God called man in dreams into the vesti-
bule of heaven, saying come up hither and
I will show thee the glory of the house And
to his angels who stood about his throne he
said, take him, strip him, of his robes Of
flesh cleanse his nostrils; but touch not his
human heart-the heart that fears and hopes
and trembles.' A moment, and it was done,
and the man stood ready for his unknown
voyage. Under the guidance of mighty
angel, with sounds of flying pinions, they
sped away from the battlements of heayen.
Some time on the mighty angels wings they
fled through the Saharas of darkness, wilder.
nesses Of death. At length from distance
not counted save in the arithmetic of heaven,
light beamed upon them-a sleepy fame was
seen through hazy cloud. They sped on
in their terrible speed to meet the light; the
light with lesser speed came to meet them
In moment the wheeling of planets; then
came long eternities of twilight; then again
on the right and the left appeared mere con-
stellations At last the man sank down, cry.
ing, 'Augel, can go no further, let me
lie down iu the grave, and hide myself from
the infnitude of the universe, for end there
is none.' END there is none?' demanded
the angel And from the glittering stars
that shone around there came choral shout,
END there is nonep END there is none p
demanded the angel again, and is it this that
awes thy soul?' I answer end there is none
to the universe of God Lo, also, there is
no beginningv'
