A Hole in the packet.

A great many men have hole 10 the
pocket, and so lose all the little change
they put in it. And the worst of it is,
they do not know it; if they did, they
could mend up the hole and put an end
to the loss. Every day they are minus
a few dimes, aud they wonder how they
come SO short. When the bills are to be
paid, they cannot imagine how they come
to be 50 short Of change. AT the end Of
the year. they are surprised to find SO
poor footing up. They work hard,
rack their brains on plans, and still they
do not get ahead much. Bills accumu-
late, income diminishes, and still they
do not discover the hole in the pocket.
One man has bad fences, gates, and
barns. The cattle break through every
now and then, and destroy crops, and he
occupies time in driving them out. The
pigs creep through the holes. The horses
get away. The boys and men and SER
wants and dogs are kept on the run after
roguish cows and jumping hcrses and
climbing hogs. The. stock becomes I'M
easy, and does not thrive. The crops
are injured. The fences are broken
down. Time is consumed. The trouble
is, that man has hole in his pocket.
One man has no sheds, nor barns, nor
granaries. nor tool houses. His grain is
much injured and wasted. The rats eat
has corn. and the damp weather molds it,
His potatoes rot. His pumpkins are de-
stroyed. His fruit does him but little
good. His tools are rotted and rusted in
the open weather. His stock is chilled
and stunted for want. of shelter. His
troubleis hole in his pocket, out Of
which slip all his profits, with much Of
the fruits of his hard labor
One man has poor plows of the senile
stamp of his ancestors. He cannot afford
modern plow He does not believe in
subsoiling. Draining is the nonsense of
scientific fools. Drills are humbug
Deep blowing would spoil the land. So
he plows and sows as his grandfather did,
on the worn-out soil of his venerable an
cestors He has a hole in his pocket
and will have it till he wakes up to the
Importance of good tools and good culture
of himself and soil.
One man does nottake a paper ca1not
afford it; has no time to read does not
believe in book farming likes the old
ways best denies all the stories he has
heard from rumor about large cattle and
crops and profits does not believe in new
notions. For forty years he has planted
ms corn onthe same ground sown wheat
10 the same field; pastured the same
land. He has heard of rotation of crops,
but does not know what it means, nor
cares to know. A bad hole has this man
III his pocket.
And who has not got hole in his
pocket? Reader, have not you? Look
and see. Is there not some way in which
you let slip the dimes you might better
save; some way in which you waste time
aud strength aud mind Ifso, then you
have q hole in your pocket. Indeed
many mans pocket is like sieve.
Whose pocket is treasury, safe and
sure p Iolley Farmer.

ent Of the New Hampshire Journal Of

PLANTING PEAS DEEP TO PnoLoNd
BEAnISG --Elihu Burritt says, in the
Homestead, that the theory, recently
advocated. Of planting peas very deeply
in the earth, in order to prolong the
bearing capacity of the vines, has been
well tested in Williamstown, and found
to pc correct. A farmer told me that he
plowed u furrow beam-deep; then scat
tered the seed peas at the bottom after
which he turned deep furrow upon them
with his pillow, covering them, if posi-
bic, 70 the depth of twelve or fourteen
inches. They pushed their way up
through the thick mass of earth very
soon, and, instead Of turning yellow at
the bottom and dying after the first ga
thering, they blossomed and bore until
be was tired Of picking the pods

PrASTING CoRN--QUIcK GERnNA-
rIoN.-Dr. Chamberlain, of Buren, conn.
ty, Illinois, has made some important
discoveries in the termination of corn,
and claims to be able to produce q very
rapid and speedy growth, by soaking the
seed in a solution of chloride of lime.
An Illinois paper says:
Last year Dr. Chamberlain of this
place made some practical experiments.
and demonstrated that nearly half the
time may be saved in terminating the
seed by the use of chloride of lime.
" Not satisfied with the success Of last
year, be is again experimenting. In his
Office he has four boxes ;. in the first is
corn planted without soaking, and the
seed is not terminated in the second the
seed was soaked in warm water, which
has just commenced to terminate in the
third is seed soaked in solution of lime.
and green blades are just peeping from
the ground; in the fourth is seed soaked
in solution of lime and copperas in
equal parts, and the bladesar are now near
ly three inches above the ground. All
the seeds were planted at the same time.
in the same quality of SOIL and taken
from the same ear. The boxes have all
had an equal share of heat and light.
neither allowed any advantage over the
other"
Another fact Of Importance may also
DO mentioned; the copperas used in soak
ing will prevent the birds, squirrels,
worms, &c, from eating the seed
DR.. Chamberlain assured us that one
pound Of chloride and one pound of cop
peras, IN water, win soak enough seed
for twenty acres. Every farmer could
afford to make the experiment, even if
he should fail to derive auy benefit from it.

A Great Circus Performer.

The Berlin correspondent of the Boston
Daily Advertiser, gives the annexed descrip-
ton of the performances OF NJ. IeQtard, the
great European Gymnast
" / may not close without some mention Of
Mr.. I.eotard, who has been for several nights
astonishing Berlin audiences by his marvellous
gymnastic achievements. lie created furore
in Paris and came here with reputation which
enabled him to demand some 450 thalers an,
evening for a half hours performance.
The circus, where NJ. Leotard appeared, is
a large amphitheatre built after the usual
model. To prepare it for him lofty platform
was erected on one side, short distance from
the wall, and above the tiers where spectators
sit. Pendant from the ceiling. and stretching
across it, is row of swings formed of ropes
three feet apart, united below by a tough
wooden bar When he is ready to begin, NJ.
Leotard mounts the platform, and from his
aerial perch bows down with great complaeen-
cy TO the audience The swings are then put
in violent motion. The gymnast seizes the
nearest as it comes toward him and throws
himself from his platform with sweep like an
eagle. Leaving the first swing when he has
reached the highest point in the arc it de-
scrlbes, the gymnast shoots through the air
ten, twenty or thirty feet, turning back
somerset on the way, and catches hold of the
next With this precarious style of locomo-
tion he proceeds across the amphitheatre, and
returns backwards" to the platform from
which he started. An instant's hesitation,
seconds miscalculation as to the place where
the second rope shall be when he reaches it,
and the adventurous youth would make de-
scent as fatal as that of his philosopbic coun-
tryman who undertook to fly.
People go TO see him at first because they
don't believe what is reported of him. and af-
terwards-I suspect because like the crowds
who rushed to see Blondin at Niagara they
entertain piously concealed expectation that
he will break his neck / wonder if all the
gentlemen and ladies, even in refined Berlin,
would turn up their thumbs if they happened
to be present at mornings entertainment

the avn. If the seeds or spores of any of the
ferns are dropped on piece of paper and ex-
amiGed with microscope, they are seen to
jump about and disperse themselves like mites
or small insects
Some plants propagate by means of their
roots and sprouts. The mangrove fg-tree
(Rhizophora mangle) is found growing on the
low marshy parts of all tropical sea shores
The fruit terminates in the seed cup while
hanging on the tree, and grows downwards
until it reaches the ground, where it takes root
in the mud. Each plant in its turn multiplies
and spreads in the same way; and Linnaus
asserts that single plant, if preserved from
destruction would in course of time, multiply
so as to cover the entire inhabitable surface of
our globe.
Linnaus, keeping within reasonable limits,
and calculating what would be the effect of
single plant producing constantly only two
successful bearing seeds each season, finds that
in twenty years there would be one hundred
and ninety-one thousand two hundred iudvid-
uals. "What then," he exclalms, would be
the astonishing effect of such multiplication
continued over more than six thousand years p
About the year 1890, the Christian Fathers
at Paris possessed root of barley, bearing
forty-nine stalks and more than eighteen thou
sand seeds. Ray counted thrty-two thousand
seeds in poppy head, and three hundred and
sixty thousand on tobacco plant. Dodart is
said to have counted five hundred and twenty
these plants are far from being the most fe-
cund. The number of spores produced by a
fern is almost iucaculable = Al the Year

ANCIENT Ruins IN THE UNITED STATES
Dim and mysterious is the early history Of man
on this continent. 1t is epyeloped in thick
darkness, never, it nay be presumed, to be
penetrated by human research. And yet the
ruins of ancient cities are frequently discovered,
that tell of race that has long since passed
Haway- probably extermnated by the ancestors
of our present Indians, who are so fast depart.
ing from the human faniily-dying out, before
the ever-advancing influence of the pale faces.
But these monumental cities indicate great pop
ulaiions and prove the existence of mighty
men of old. A new stimulus is likely to be
given to American archaeology, by discovery
recently made some ninety miles northeast of
Fort Stanton, long account of which has
appeared in the Fort Smith (Ark) Times.
The plain upon which lie the massive relics
of gorgeous temples and magnificent halls,
slopes gradually eastward toward the Pecos,
and is very fertile, crossed by gurglng stream
of the purest water, that not only sustain
rich vegetation, but perhaps furnished with
this necessary element the thousands who once
inhabited this present wilderness. The city
was probably built by warlike race, as it is
quadrangular, and arranged with skill to afford
the highest protection against an exterior foe,
many of the outer lines being pierced with
loopholes, as though calculated for the use Of
weapons. Several of the buildings are of vast
size, and built of massive blocks Of dark
granite rock, which could only have been
wrought to their present condition by vast
amount of labor. There are the ruins three
noble ediiices, each presenting front of three
hundred feet made of ponderous blocks of stone,
and the dilapidated walls are even now thirty
five feet high. There are no partitions in the
area of the middle (supposed) temple, so that
the room must have been vast and there are
also carvings in bass relief and fresco work.
Appearances justify the conclusion that these
silent ruins could once boast of halls as gor-
geousy decorated by the artists hand as those
of Tbebes and Palmyra. The buildings are all
loopholed in each side, much resembling those
found in the old feudal castles of Europe, de-
signed for the use Of archers The blocks of
which these edhces are composed are cemented
together by species Of mortar of biiuminous
character, which has such tenacity that vast
blocks being detached by the shock.

FATE OF THE AUTHOR OF "GoD SAVE THE
KING"-The following extract is from work
by Charles Reane, entitled 1.-The Eighth
Commandment -
Henry Carey was man of genius. He
wrote for the theater with immediate and last
ing success Next be handled satire; and
Pope took his verses for Swift's, and Swift for
Popes. Lastly, he settled down to lyrical art;
with rare combination of two rare talents he
invented immortal melodies, and the immortal
words to them He wrote the words and
melody of the National Anthem for this last
he deserved pension and niche IN West
minister Abbey.
In loose age be wrote chastely. He never
failed to hit the public. He was of his age
yet immortal. No artist can do more. But
there was no copywright in songs.
Mark the consequences of that gap in the
law. While the theatre and the streets rupg
with his lines and his tunes, while fddlers fd-
died them and were paid, the genius that set
all those empty music pipes flowing, and a
million ears listening with rapture, was feeced
to the bone. All reaped the corn except the
sower. For why? The sower was an author
an inventor And so in the midst of successes
that enriched others and left him bare, in the
midst of the poor unsefsh souls attempt to
found Charity for distressed performers, ma
ture suddenly broke down under the double
agony of heart full of wrongs and an empty
belly, and the man hanged himself.
They found him cold. with skin on his bones
and half penny in his pocket Think of this,
when you next hear God save the Queen"

The Brave Old Flag.

The oppressed of the earth to standard shall fly,
Wherever its folds shall be spread
And the exile shall feel It's his own native sky
Where its stars shall float over his head
And these stars shall increase, till the fullness of
time
Its millions of cycles has run
Till the world shall have welcomed its mission
sublime,
And the nations of earth shall be one.
Then, OH let it glow on each helmet and brand
Though our blood like our rivers, shall run;
Divide may, in our own native land,
To the rest of the world we are one,

No Rose without a Thorn.
BY MRS. S. P. MEsAvRE HAYES.

u L -AfAs7f I MS = IL Al Is.
While straying through lifs's valley,
Though in our childhood's morn,
We find where'er we wander
No rose without g thorn.
Though sweet may be the fragrance
They fling around our feet,
We find amid hfe's roses
The bitter with tie sweet.
And when the sun of midday
Burns brighter DER our head,
We find no thornless roses
Where'er our steps are led.
But still we fondly cherish
The rosebud's fading leaf,
Though we know the thorn endures,
While the roses bloom is brief.
And when adown the valley g.
Our trembling feet must stray,
Though the crown of roses wither,
The thorns are there alway.
But when we cross the river,
And reach the longed-for shore,
Well dwell mid fadeless roses,
Where nought can harm US more.
