FECUNDITY IN ANIMALs.-The Eng
lish people are paying great attention
to this. They are endeavoring to have
their ewes bring twins, and lamb tsoicc
a year. In their live stock, the Chinese
have especially studied fecundity, early
maturity and aptitude. Their sheep are
very prolific. Three of them were inn
ported into London, and placed in the
London Gardens, and the increase of
lambs was so great that they became .
nuisance. One eve had five lambs,
another four, and another three. In
the United States, Captain Theodore
Smith began with three Chinese Sheep,
in 1854, and in eighteen months he had
an increase of seventy-four, one of the
ewes having had twelve lambs in fifteen
months. He states that the sheep are
large and handsome, and the mutton
of superior delicacy.

In June, 1S43, General jackson, in
his retirement at the Hermitage, wrote
his will with his own hand. In it,
among other beqtests, are two, which
ought, at this time, to be published for
present reading. The sentiments
therein expressed evince more than
Roman patriotism, and should sink
deep into the hearts of the people.
Here is the literal language of the IL
lustrious dead!
Seventh, bequeath to my beloved
nephew, Andrew J. Donelson, son of
Samuel Donelson, deceased, the ele-
giant sword presented to me by the
State OF Tennesse, soith this injunction!
That he fail not to use it when necessa-
ry IN support and protection of our
glorious Union, and for the projection
Of the constitutional rights Of oar be.
lored country, should they be assailed
by foreign enemies or DOMESTIC TRAI-
TORS"
"Eighth. To my granddaughter, An.
drew Jackson Coffee, 1 bequeath the
elegant sword presented to me by the
Rifle Company of New Orleans, com.
manded by Captain Beale, as memen.
to of my regard, and to bring to his
recollection the gallant services of his
deceased father, Gen. John Coffee, in
the late Indian and British war, under
my command, and his gallant conduct
in defence of New Orleans in ls14-l5,
aoith this injunction ); That he WELD it
in the protection of the rights secured
to the American citizen under our
glorious Constitution against all inva.
doris, whether foreign foes, or INTESTINE
TRAITORS"

CONFINEMENT WITH LITrLE.-1n
reference to happiness a man has what
he can use. If he possesses Thousand
dollars which he cannot use. Ematters
not as to the benefit he derives from it
whether it be in his Golfer or in his
bowels Of the earth. When his wants
are supplied all that remains is his only
to keep, or to give away, but not to
enjoy. What is more than serviceable
is superfuous and needless and the
man is only rich in fancy. Nature is
satisfied with little; it is vanity, it is
avarice, it is luxury, it is Independence,
it is the god otherwise that urges us to
demand more.

that we shall live in the future, as did
our fathers before us, in bonds of fellow
ship of brotherhood
And as we regard the preservation
of our glorious Union, which has se
cured to us peace and prosperity al
home and respect and protection abroad
as of the utmost Importance to the best
interest of our race and country, and
believe that all Honorable efforts should
be made in order to restore peace and
concord;
And as in the opinion of many wise
and patriotic men our Union is threat.
ened with danger;
To the end, therefore, that, as citizens
of great common country and breth-
rem of a great common brotherhood,
we may exert our influence with one
another for good and not for evil, for
an expression of our love for our breth-
rem and country;
BE 1t Resolced by the Grand Lodge
Of Free and accepted Masons of the
State Of Michigan, That we are deep.
ly attached TO our present form of gov
ernment, and to the constitution of our
country, and to the citizens of every
portion of our country, and that we
should deplore as calamity to the best
and dearest interests of man the dis
ruptiOn of our Confederacy.
ResolUed, That we implore our breth-
rem in every section of our common
country to exert their influence to sof-
ten asperities of feeling and restore
harmony to our councils, to the end that
the bonds of brotherhood may be
strengthened, and as united people
we may move forward in the career of
honor and usefulness.
Resoloed, That copies of these reso-
lutions, under the seal of the Grand
Lodge, be sent forthwith to all the Grand
Lodges in communication with us.
