HENRY WARD BEEcHER on INTEREST,"
How many people in the country have found
out the truth of the following by Henry W.
Beecher:
No blister draws sharper than interest
does. OF all industries, none is comparable
to that of interest. 1t works day and night
in fair weather and foul. 1t has no sound
in its footsteps, but travels fast. 1t gnaws
a mans substance with invisible teeth. 1t
binds industry with its finn as fly is bound
upon spiders web. Debt rolls man over
and over, binding his hand and foot, and let
ting him hang upon the fatal mesh until the
long legged interest devours him. There is
no crop that can afford to pay interest on
money on farm. There is but one thing
raised on farm like it, and that is the Can
adian thistle, which swarms new plants every
year and every time you bleed the roots,
whose blossoms are prolific and every one
the father of million seeds. Every leaf is
an awl, every branch pear, and every single
plant like platoon Of bayonets and field
full of them is like an armed host The en-
tire plant is a torment and vegetable curse.
And vet farmer hail better make his bed of
Canada thistes than attempt to lie at ease on
interest.

In our sanctum here. We have an aquari-
an. or glass case. filled with water for the ac
commoaaton Of soma fishes and other water
inhabitants. Among them is frog that for
merry lived in the country. but was brought
mere by friend and introduced to CITY soci
ETY.. He was onl, adpole (pollyvog) then
but we have seen him push out his legs, and
lose his tail, which at first answered the dou-
bic purpose Of ruaGer and sculling-oar, and
ne now rejoices in full developed frog g-hood.
Although he might perhaps enjoy his free
dom better where he could roam about at
Will. and play hop-scotch and leop-trog with
his old companions, he takes things very phi
l"sophically. Most of the time he sits perch
al upon little rock in the middle of the
aquarium, looking very demure. as if watch
ing what is going on in the office; or per-
haps he is thinking Of cid times. Formerly
he had an amph;bious companion, little liz
zard. or water newt; and although both of
these creatures are said to be 'cold -blooded,"
there appeared to exist a warm friendship
between them. The lizard. when tired of
swimming about. would always craw, up the
rock. and then climb upon the frogs back.
and creep up until he was seated with his
fore pass upon the frogs head. Master Frog
>aid no. word. bat only winked permission
when he felt him coming, and patiently a.
lowed him 10 occupy his favorite resting
place. Occasionally the frog enjoyed bath,
and then he would give a sudden plunge,
pitching Master Lizard, heels over head,
sprawlins into the water. But one of the
hungry horned pouts, or catfish, bit off the
the Lizards tails, and he died one day-of
mo,t!fcation probably y-and the frog is now
left alone. 1t would amuse you to see him
eat. He is very particular about his food,
which consists of insects. They must be
alive and kicking, or he will not notice them
he seems to despise cold victuals. But throw
a lively fly or cockroach in the water-the
boys often bring him cockroaches the
frog takes good aim and with asudden spring
leaps across the aquarium and snaps up the
insect in an instant. He has afforded US
much pleasure 10y his maneuvers, and is quite
pet with all in the Office. We have seen
worse pets than our frog. He certainly keeps
on wiser look, and is not half so mischiev-
/ Gus as some OF the other animals in our aqua

Which was Caught.

A friend communicates the following which
he says occurred wien he was boy. He
had been fishing on the salt water, using for
bait, large hard clans, which, you know,
have strong jaws, (shells,) and very powerful
muscles to hold them tight when closed
Two Of these were brought home, and left in
the basket, which was set in the kitchen for
the night. About twelve o'clock, great
racket was heard around the house. Bump,
bump, bump it went, as if some one was try
ing to crack hard nut, or pound open a
box. The family were quite alarm ed, and
ran to the kitchen to discover the cause
There, large rat was running frantically a.
round the room, with one of the CLAIMS fas-
tened to his nose, which he was vainly trying
to shake off. He had found the bivalve with
his shell partly open, and tried to steal the
savory meat within, when he was suddenly
nipped, and could not escape. Of course
he was speedily killed-a warning to thieves
and to those who poke their noses into 9TH
er peoples concerns.-Am. Agriculturist.

Prescription in kentucky--WarO on Cas-.
sius NJ. Clay.

The New York Evening Post prints the
following private letter from Cassius NJ. Clay,
which shows that the agitation in Madison
county is more serious than the Kentucky
papers represent. The letter is dated March
20, 1860:

poles in the upper lip, mirthfulness near the

the philosophy and delight of kissing; the
more intense the passion, the more soul
thrilling and enrapturing the kiss. Behold
that lovely woman, with form shaped by
the hand of harmony, regular features under
clustering ringlets, bright eyes beamirg with
intelligence, wellarranged pearly teeth,
soft and delicate skin, mouth like Cupid's
bow, neck like ivory, breast like alabas-

like snow, her lips like two rosebuds moist
with morning dew, and her cheeks
Where the live crimson through the native white

Radiant in beauty, she is surrounded by a
atmosphere of love, as a rose exhales fra

rupt laws in the universe cannot make it

is sin in this neglect as clear and deserving
of church discipline as in stealing or false
swearing He who violates his promise to

Even a Boy Can Make a Hot Bed.

! Most people have an idea that hot-bed Is
SO difficult of construction as to be beyond
their own skill or circumstances. But this
is altogether mistake. A hot-bed is within
the reach of every one who can get few
bushels of yard manure, and some rough
boards. In its simplest form a hot-bed con-
sists of nothing more than foot or two in
depth of termenting yard manure, covered
over with half "a foot of good soil upon which
to SOW seeds, or set OFT plants. Usually
there is to be placed around and over this
some sort of covering to retain the heat pro-
duced within, and shut cut cold. The gener-
al custom is to make the box with boards,
and cover it with sash set slanting towards
the South. The covering may be of cloth
instead of glass. c. B. Higgins, youth of
sixteen, living in Delaware, writes to the 1g-
ricul!wid as follows: Having read the de-
scriplion in Vol. XVIII, page SO. March No.
1882 determined TO try to make one. l
built board frame six feet long and four
wide, and stretched cotton cloth upon it, and
let it dry until it was hard ard firm. / then
made large box, without any.bottom, set it
over pile Of manure two and half feet
thick, and covered it with an oil-cloth shade.
In less than forty-eight hours it began to fer
ment. then placed on the manure cov-
ering OF rich loam six inches thick, in which
| sowed my seeds. They sprang up readily,
and grew as finely as if covered with glass.
planted cucumLers in small pieces of sod
in the bed, which grew rapidly, and were af-
;erwards transplanted out, SO that We had
them much earlier than usual When by
such simple con;rivance as this, garden
vegetables can be had from four TO six weeks
earlier than by planting in the open ground,
