CONTENTEDNESS.

Never compare thy condition with those
above thee but to secure thy content. look
upon those thousands with whom thou would
not for any interest change Thy fortune and
condition.
And yet there is no wise or good nan that
would charge persons or conditions with any
man in the world. 1t may be he would have
one mans wealth added 10 himself, or the pow.
er of a second, or the learning OF third but
still he would receive those into his own per-
son, because he loves that best, and therefore
eseems it best, and therefore overvslues all
that which be is, before all that which any
other mar can be. For every man hath de-
sires of his Own, and objects just fitted to them,
| without which he cannot be, unless he we're
not himself And let every man that loves
himself so well as to love himself before all the
world, consider if be have not something for
which in the whole be values himself far more
than be can value any man. else. There is
therefore no reason TO take the fuest feather
from all the winged nations, to deck that bird
that thinks already she is far more valuable
than any Of the inhabitants of the air. Either
change all or none. Cease to love yourself
best, or be content with that portion OF being

Drainage Of Wet Lanl.


Wet land cannot be cultivated with profit
unless some means are taken to free them
from surplus water Excess of water is al
ways unlreDdly to vegetation Deep plow-
ing IS but little use, as the earth sooo packs
again and resumes the same condition of
hardness that it had before plowing. The
water prevents the admission of the atmos-
phere, which serves to bring about those
changes which are necessary in order to an

future crops. Il i8 sour and cold, unsuiIed to
cultivated crops, and best adapted to coarse
herbage that bas but little value, or to para
site plants bat are pest to the farm.
Such lands when they have been under
drained, can be plOweI and subsoiled and
rendered very valuable for crops. Bat some
times pa ches of land are found, which il is
desirable TO drain, that are so lOcared as to
afford no outlet for conducting of surplus
water. In most instances such lands may be
drained by digging well at the lowest point
and leading the drains TO it. Here the wafer
will usually fad some strata few feet bsoW

wet seasons, from long continued rains the
whole level OF the water through this strata

then the water in the wells rises above the
usual point. Bat as il takes q vast accumu-

Preparation of Flax,

A French manufacturer, named Bertin, has
invented whnt is reported TO be successful
method of dispensing with the sleeping OF fax.
After the fbers have been crushed in the or
dinary way, NJ. Berth submits them TO a new
process, that Of fraction between two chlune,-
ed tables which has a sideway as well as to
aud fro motion; 10 fact, the action is similar
to that OF rubbing the ibers between tie
palms of the hands, but considerable pressure
and with great rapidity. The foer is after
wards beaten 10 water, which carries off eVeTv
particle of woody matter and leaves the fax
completely unbroken and in parallel masses.
Tue principle of fraction tables has been em-
ployed by N. Berlin in other cases, and 10
suid to furnish ar economical, rapid. aud per-
feet mechanical action.
The same gentleman has adopted q new
system of chemical sitepiug to get rid of the
resinous aud other matter which attaches the
iibers together, which is said TO produce the
required effect in less than two hours, at a cost
OF about Is. 81. per cwt, leaving tbs fax
nearly white, but the particulars are not given.
By NJ. Bertiu's system, it is affirmed that tie
weld of fax is raised from l 2 or 10 TO 20 CT
y per ceut. OF the gross material. Llstly,
NJ. Bertin collects the refuse beneath his
crushing machines, burns it 10 his boiler fur
nuces and uses the ashss aud water in which
the fax is steered as a manure, giving back,
as he alIirms, the whole of the mineral salts
aud nzotised matter contained ia the crop,
aud the cost OF so much artificial manure
saved to the cultivator.

DEPLoRAsLE TRAGEDY,

By the Eastern Shore boat We have an ac-
count Of deplorable tragedy which occurred
in Wye Neck, QIeen Annes county, in this
State. on Wednesday last, 10 which Col. Wm.
B. Puca and his two sons killed the two peph-
ews OF the former, } Obn B. Paca and Alfred
Jones. Colonel Paca was guardian Of these
nepbews, and some iteeling II is stated, pre-.
viousiy existed between the parties, growing
out OF business difficulties. Another nephew,
Tilghman Paca joined the rebel army sOms
time ago, aud his interest in the estate was
sold under the conGscation act and purchased
by COL Paca Ills occupation OF it, il is
said, was resisted by the two nephews, Paca
and Jones, who commenced the work of erect
ing fences thereupon, though warned by Col.
Paca to desist as he claimed the property As
his own.
On Wednesday morning, the work being
still continued by Paca and Jones, Col. Paca
arrived on the ground with his two sons, and
an affray ensued. in which both the nephews
were instantly killed Accounts vary as to
which party commenced the assault, but 1t Is
reported That the nephews first assaied Col
| Paca aud his SOUS with pick and an axe, aud
that they fred in selIdelense. Col. PacA' S
sous gave themselves up. and ali OF them are
! lodged in the jli! at Centrevil!e. The ex-
citemenr in the county, as may be supposed,
is most intense, owing to the high social posi-
lion OF the parties, the terrible scqael to the
difficulties and the circumstances surrounding
the CASE Baltimore Sun.

'Tell me all about it," said Mr.. Hubbard
with interest. "What was it that withheld

'Theu what withheld you from taking il?'
First [ will tell you what tempted me, .
said Edward. "My mother and sisteFyare OBJ

we live but poor at best. But a fortnight

''And yet you did not take il?"
mo sir, it would have been wrong, and
could not have looked you in the face after

Edward spoke in tones OF modest confidence.
Mr.. Hubbard went 70 the desk and wrote a
check.
"How much do pay you now?" he asked.
Fifty dollars year." said Edward.
"Hencefourh your duties will be increased,
and l will pay you two huudred. Will that
please you?"
1.-TWO hundred dollars a year?" exclaimed
Edward, his eyes sparkling with delight
Yes, and at the end of the year that will
be increased, if, as 1 have no doubt, you con-
tinue to merit my confidence"
"oh, sir, how can thank yOu?" said Ed
ward full of gratitude.
"By preserving your integrity. AS I pre-
sumo you are in present need of money 1 will

check for itty dollars which you can get cash
ed at the bank. And by the way you can have
the rest of the day to yourself"
Edward few 10 the bank, aud with his sud-
den riches hastened to the market, where he
purchased supply of provisions such as be
knew would be welcome at home, and then
made haste to announce his good fortune.
A weight seemed to fall off the hearts OF

A writer, whose lie has passed its meridi-
an, thus eloquently discOurses; upon the speedy
fight of time:
Forty years once seemed long and weary
pilgrimage to make. 1t now seems but a step;
and yet along the way are broken shrines,
where a thousand hopes wasted it to ashes;
footprints sacred under their drifting dust;
green mounds where grass is fresh with the
watering OF tears; shadows even which
we would not forget. We will garner the
sunshine of those gears, and with chastened
steps and hopes push on towards the evening
whose signal light will soon be seen swinging
where the waters are still and the storm never
