Fuel.

IT is common mistake among farmers to
burn wood the same year it is cut. Two
cords of dry wood will give more heat than
than three cords in an unseasoned state.
When the moisture in the burning wood
is being eyaporated, it has the power of
taking up heat its own bulk is increased
one-iye-hundredth part for every degree of
heat added, and it travels up the chimney
or stove-pipe with the heat. If wood be
cut two years before its use, it will be
found much more economical all heat will
be radiated in the room, or at least very
much larger portion than when it is accom-
panied by moisture.
When under steam boilers, green wood
will not make steam, at least in the boiler,
for the heat is used in converting
ting the water of the wood itsolfinto steam ;
it passes through the flues into the chimney
without heating the boiler This is true
not only of wood, but also in degree of coal
especially pitummous coal, which, when
wet radiates but little heat, the majority
passing up the chimney. Even anthracite
coal is capable of holding some water. 1t
should always be carted on dry day and
placed under cover for winters use

THE TEETOTAL PRINCE.
A PERSIAN STORY.

A fEkSlAN SIOhA. ..
oung Cyrus was a Persian Prince
Who only drank cold water;
His mother was a qeenly dame, fa a.., a
The king of Media S daughter.
And when she went the King to see,
She wished his heart to please,
And therefore took her blooming boy
To show Asty-ages.
The aged sire embrace the child,
% And loved him more each day;
While he, to prove his love, took care H
In all things to obey. .ar.a. s...4. .
"Cup-bear to you let me be-" .,
Said Cyrus to the King,

The goblet | can bring" a..
The King consented laughed and cried,
Young sir don't make such hasse, ,.
You have forgotten that you ought
TO pour some wine and taste"
-" did not granpapa, forget -f
Permit me to explain ......a. ..-. a. .
Twas fear Of poison in the cup
That caused me to refrain"
"Poison, my child p the king exclaimed,
"What silly thoughts are these
In Medals court who could conspire
10 kill As-ty-a-ges ?" .i
81 did not say to kill granpa," .. .-
The noble boy replied - ...... ... s.-.
But patience have, I'll tell you all
And nothing from you hide.
1t was but some few nights ago .. ,..t,.
You drank from this same cup, .g..,
Your MOBILES also drank from theirs
Till none could straight up.
Your locks were very strange and wild;
You wrangied loud and long; a
Each shouted that himself was right
And all the rest were wrong. l rH tas
really was ashamed TO see .t-..a. s....
How they behaved to you,
While you did not appear to care
About your kingly due.
Then as wondered much the thought
With my breast was fixed, .a ..#'
That surely poison in your cup
BY wicked hands was mixed" f-rI...
Thus spoke the child the king admired
And praised the repartee,
And to his mobiles said-'IIis words
Reproyc bolh you and me-"
"'Tis wisdom's voice that speaks thro' him.
And bids him poison call .....
The wine that first bewitches us, rr
And then degrades us ALL" ........ ....
Now, boys and girls, if asked why you
From all strong drinks abstain,
Remember Cyrus, and reply
"a poison they contain"

WHAT is MEANT BY IT.-The Chicago
Times has special dispatch from
Washington, about the evacuation OF
Corinth, as follows:
''The evacuation Of Corinth causes
much speculation in this city. It seems
to be the prevailing impression here
that the rebels either intend to go into
Texas, or abandon the Mississippi, re-
inforce Richmond. and make an often
sive movement northward or else pro-
long the war by again locating and in-
trenching themselves near the Gulf,
where the climate and difficulty Of com
munication will restrain a northern
army from following. The general ex-
pectation Of the rebel policy centres on
this last programme.

A ToucH1NG ScENE.-A touching

A TOUCHING ScENE.-A touching
scene from the battlefield is thus rcla-
ted by wounded witness from New
bern:
The Lieutenant was in advance of
bis men in the bayonet charge, when
a volley from the enemy shattered his
right leg and the Captains left. They
We're both removed and laid side by
side, when William called to the sur
geon and said "Surgeon, you must
amputate my leg. I cannot stand this. y
The captain tried to persuade him not
to have it removed, but he was deter
mined, and said it must be done. The
surgeon then administered chloroform,
and amputated his leg. AS soon as
the operation was performed William
called for cigar, and smoked it very
llesurely until the fire was very near
his lips. The surgeon then came along
and inquired GLOW do You feel no ",
Lieutenant ?" To which he replied,
every comfortable, but I feel as if the
stump Of the leg you cut off was on
again, and the toes were cold.' The
captain said it made him shudder to
hear William speak SO coolly, and he
turned his head 80 as to look in his
face. AS he gazed at him he thought
his eyes looked strangely. At that mo-
ment William set up, and in voice
which never sounded louder or clear
er, shouted to his men, "Forward,
march 20 and fell dead.
