THE KEAB,S TWELVE cHLLDRE

JANUARY, worn and gray,
Like an old pilgrim by the way,
Watches the snow and shiveTing siChs,
As the wild curfew round him flies;
Or, huddled underneath thorn,
Sits praying for the lingering morn.
FEBRUARY, bluff and cold,
Der furrows striding, scorns the cold;
And with his horses two abreast,
Makes the keen plow do his behest.
Rough MARCH comes clustering down the
road,
In his wrath-hand the oxen's goad;
Or, with rough and angry haste,
Scatters the seed DER the dark waste.
APRIL, a. child, half tears, half smiles,
Trips full of little playful Hviles;
And laughing meath her rainbow hood,
Seeks the wild violet in the wood.
MAY, the bright maiden, singing goes
Where the sunny hawthorne blows,
Watching the lambs leap in the dells,
List ming the simple village bells.
JUNE, with the mowers scarlet face,
Moves DER the clover-feld space,
And fast his crescent scythe sweeps on
O'er spots from whence the lark has flown.
JULY, the farmer, happy fellow,
Laughs to see the corn grow yellow,
The heavy grain he tosses up,
From his right hand, as from a cup.
AUGUST, the reaper, cleaves his way,
Through golden waves at break of day;
Or, in his wagon, piled wi b corn,
At sunset, home is proudly borne.
SEPTEAIBER, with his braying hound,
Leaps fence and pale at every bound,
And casts to the wind in scorn
All cares and dangers from his horn.
OCTOBER comes a woodman old,
Fenced with tough leather from the cold,
Round swings his sturdy AK, and 10!
A fir-branch falls at every blow.
NOVEMBER covers before the flame,
Bleared crone, forgetting her own name!
Watches the blue smoke curling rise,
And broods upon old memories
DECEMBER, fat and rosy, strides,
His old heart warm, well clothed his sides,
w nth indy word for young and old,
The cheerier forthe bracine cold:
Laughing welcome, OEva-flinps
His doors, and as he does it, sings.

Ben grasped his friends hand, but just
then the enterance of Mrs Meriden pre-
vented his reply. Mark, however, saw
with satisfaction that he put the book in
his vest pocket, and buttoned up his
coat with an air of a man who is button

INTERESTING TO MlSERs.-A correspondent
of the Nevada Transcript, writing from Lit.
tie York, January 26th, gives the following
account of an experiment which has lately
been made in wheels:
will give you the result of an experi-
ment which has just been satisfactorily
tested, at least by the proprietors of the
mill, Curran Bucklan, who have, during
the past fall, built fine mill at Empire
Hill in Little York township, Nevada county
for crushing what is known here as blue
cement. Their mill has at present eight
stamps, Of seven hundred and forty pounds
each, or thereabouts, and will, when COM
pleted, have sixteen stamps nf the above
weight. The first power applied to the
mill was the Fouchery Turbine Wheel. The
proprietors, after giving this wheel what
they considered pretty fair test, came to
the conclusion that it could never be made
to do the work required at their mill when
completed, and Mt once commenced wheel
which I. Patterson, who suggested the plan
of the wheels, calls the 8. Hurdy Gurdy.n
The wheel is built of wood, with the excep-
tion of the shaft, bolts, etc. 1t is ten feet
in diameter and not more than seven inches
breast. 1t is of the simplest construction.
There are no buckets to catch the water,
but the water is forced by hydraulic pres
sure through an inch and fourth nozzle,
which is so pointed as to strike the arms of
the wheel about one and half or two in
ches from the end. The. pressure of the
water is the same as that applied to the
Turbine wheel, and by using, as near as
could be measured, twenty -eight inches Of
water, the eight stamps are forced to jog
along at the rate of ffty-four drops per
minute, apparently with all ease, and it 10
tine opinion of all who have seen the
wheel at work, that 1t would drive sixteen
stamps with the same amount of water
The expense of building this wheel is said
not to exceed two hundred dollars all told.
Parties interested can see the "Hurdy
Gurdy" in operation, almost any time Of
day or night, at little York.

A WONDERFUL LAKE.-Now that oil on
the brain is becoming somewhat prevalent
in Nevada, we hear some wonderful and
exceedingly greasy stories. The latest big
thing. in oil, is lake, situated six miles
cast uf Ragtown. The lake is about one
mile square and is surrounded on all (oil)
sides by almost perpendicular walls of slate
rock some 200 feet high, and IS covered
with greasy scum from an inch and half
to two inches thick. This scum is sup
posed to be crude rock oil. The water of
the lake is strong solution of salt and
borax. Such is its density that a person
leaping into the lake from boat finds it
impossible to sink lower than the armpits.
This lake, or the land about it, was located
and surveyed by parties in this city, who ex-
pected to make fortunes out of the borax
which is found in it. Now, however, since the
whole American world has gone wild on oil
they think they have something better than
borax-ile! On almost every side of the
lake are springs, and out of these numer-
Gus springs flows s' 'ile ''-or at least the
stuff which forms the scum on the lake, and
which looks "wery like ile." On the edges
of the lake are found large quantities of
crystals of pure borax, and the locators
think reef of borax exists in some parts
of the lake. They intend to collect and
test the scum found on the lake, and if it
should prove to be /" il" I" will further pros
pect by boring. We have heard much Of
this lake before-or one in the same local
ity--and though we have heard of big
snaik and things being found in it, never
before heard of the oil. Perhaps tho big
snaik has " defuncted," and the scum on
the lake comes from the grease rising from
bis huge carcass = Territorial Enterprise

PRIZE MoSEr.-Some inquiry being made
as to whether prize money is awarded to
the yictors when the enemy's ship 10 stink
or destroyed, as in the case OF the Kear-
sarge and Alabama, We take, by way of re-
sponse, the following upon the whole sub.
Ject OF prize money from the New American
Cyciopedia. We believe aiiberal subscrip.
tion for the officers and crew Of the Kear-
sarge was made up by the merchants of
New York, the prize money allowed by law
for their gallant exploit being considered
wholly inadequate - :
The distribution of prize money, or of the
proceeds of the sale of ships or goods ad.
Judged by Courts of Admiralty to be good
prize, is carefully regulated by the statutes
OF the United States. The provisions are
very minute; but substantially they are as
follows: l. When the captures are made
by public armed ships, if the captured
ship be of equal OR greater force than ths
ship making the capture, the proceeds be-
long wholly to the captors; otherwise they
are equally divided between the United
States and the captors. The commanding
ofhcers OF fleets, squadrons, or single ships
take three-twentieths, the whole of which
goes to the commander Of a single ship ac-
ting independently; but if he is under the
command of an officer Of feet or SQUAD
ron, that officer has one twentieth, and the
commander of the ship the other two. Sea
Lieutenants, Captains of Marines, and Sail!
ing Masters take two-twentieths Chap.
lains, Lieutenants of Marines, Surgeons,
Pursers, Boatswains, Gunners, Carpenters,
and Masters Mates, Captains Clerks,
Schoolmasters, Boatswain's Mates. Gun.
ner's Mates, Carpenters Mates, Ship Stew
ards, Sailmakers, Masters alarms, Armor.
ers, Co1swains and Coopers three and half
twentieths; Gunner's, Yocmen, Quarter
masters, Quarter Gunners, Sailmaker's
Mates, Sergeants and Corporals of ofmarines,
Drummers, Filters and extra petty officers,
two and a half twentieths seamen, ordi.
nary seamen, marines, and all other per.
son doing duty on board, seveu-twentieths.
One or more public ships in sight of O cap
ture share equally in the prize or prizes
A bounty is paid by the United States of
$40 for each person on board of any ship Of
the enemy at the beginning of an engage
ment, which is sunk or destroyed by pub
lie armed vessel of equal or inferior force
and this bounty is divided as prize money.
2. If the ships or goods are captured BY
private armed ships commissioned by Cow
| ernment, the prize property, within sixty
days after condemnation, shall be sold by
| the Marshal of the District and in the man.
ner and on the terms designated BY the
owners of the prisateer, ard the proceeds
divided between the owners, the officers
and crew, according TO their articles of
agreement; and if there are no articles of
agreement, one-half goes to the owners and
one-half to the officers and crew. Usually
if not always, the shipping articles of o
privateer or letter of maique determine the
proportion in which the proceeds are to be
divided.
