DIR. Potter, of Tionesta, Venango county,
Pennsylvania, made a wager of $4,000 a
few weeks since that he would drive his pair
of mares over country road, to be select
by him, 100 miles in 81 hours. The event
came off on last Saturday week, and the
Doctor drove 103 miles and II rods in nine
hours and eleven minutes and thirteen
seconds, stopping once to feed and twice to
water, the actual time of travelling being 81
hours, the best time on record. The ami
mails are beautiful pair of large bay
mares, and they came in, apparently quite
fresh, under strong pull. The Doctor

The PreciOusness Of LiftEeness.

Little martin boxes of some homes are
generally the most happy and coy; little
villages are nearer to being atoms Of shat.
tered paradise than anything we know Of =
and little fortunes bring the most content,
and little hopes the least disappointment
Little words are the sweetest to hear, lit
tie charities fly furthest, and stay longest on
the wing; little lakes are the stillest, little
hearts the fullest, and little farms the best
titled. Little books are the most read, and
little songs the dearest loved. And when
nature would make anything especially
rare she makes it little-little pearls, little
diamonds, and little dews
Agar's is model prayer, but then it is
little one, and the burden of the petition IL
for little. The Sermon on the Mount is lit
tie, but the last dedication discourse was an
honor. The Roman said -Veni, vidi, yici
Il came, saw, conquered-tut dispatches
now a. days are longer than the battles they
tell Of
Everybody calls that little, that they love
best on earth We once heard good sort
of a man speak Of his little wife, and we
fancied that she must be perfect little BIZ
lou of wife. We saw her, and she weighed
210 lbs we were surprised But then it
was no joke, he could put his wife in his
heart and have room for other things be-
sides; and what was she but precious, and
what could she be but little?
We rather doubt the stories Of great ar
gosies Of gold, we sometimes hear Of, be-
cause nature deals il Titles altogether. Life
is made up of Titles, death is what remains
Of them all. Day is made up of little
beams, and night is glorious with little
stars
Multum in Parvo-much in little-is the
great beauty of all that we love best, hone
for most, and remember the longest.

P. T. Barnum has introduced a bill likely
to be made a law by the Connecticut Legis-
lature virtually resembling the statute fixing
the legal rate Of interest six per cent, by
leaving parties to make such written agree
ments as they deem proper, in other words,
that the use of money shall be allowed to
obtain its own market price, and follow the
natural laws of supply and demand. A law
like this has existed for two years in Rhode
Island.

Many little children are dling away
their time on our Streets, who ought to
be at school. And many parents cculd

they know they ire not able to meet
the expenses of school Of fixed rates.
Le: not false pride ;hen prevent any one
from educating the children.
1t may be vel! to state that while the

vantage IN alternating these two crops I;
from the simple fact that while one
tie corn--is q superficial feeder, the 9th
cotton--feeds deeply. The cotton
plant has very long tap root whereas
that of the corn has no tap root at all.
All the roots ofthe latter are lateral,
shooting out, roots and rootlets, for sew
eral feet, and even yards, in all direc
tons, The tap root ofthe other plant
strikes down far below the depth of cul.
tivation.
1t will thus be gathered that rotation
of crops is necessary from the Very ma.
ture Of vegetable growth.
Other inquiries of interest suggest
themselves in this connection, but we
must defer their consideration for future
issue. We hope some interest may be
aroused upon these practical points, and
that our columns be made the medium
OF an interchange of views between
those of more ability and larger expe.
