HALE AN ACRE ENOUGH.


A shoemaker over in Jersey bought half
an acre lot. He was fond of fruit and read the
pspers. The soil was wet clay, and he select
ed fruit suited to the climate. He built a
house and put his land IN a-condition to pro-
duce fruit. He had no manure but the
droppings Of street cattle. In his leisure he
brought from the woods bark, rotten wood,
moss and leaf mold, and he mixed it with the
soil three feet deep. This was done by de-
grees, and as fast as the ground was prepared
lie planted fruit. He become so interested
and successful that he retired from the cob
bler's bench. Twas his near neighbor and
knew himintimately. His half acre support

elegance. She had no servant, and had plenty
Of time to cultivate flowers. Strangers en-
quired about their beautiful home.
Isabella grapes and carrants form-
ed the bulk Of his fruit. With better selec-
ton his income would have been larger

SKELETON NJ LEAVES. :.

Many of our readers who have admired the
exquisite tracery of leaf structure, displayed
in the denuded skeleton Of plants, may be
glad to know how to make such preparations
for themselves. The following method has
been communicated to the Botanical Society
of Edinburgh, by DR.. G. Dickson:
4 solution Of caustic soda is made by dis
solving ounces of washing soda in two pints
of boiling water, and adding one and half
ounces of quicklime previously Stacked; boil
for ten minutes, ,decnnt the clear solution and
bring it to boil. During ebullition add the
leaves; boil briskly for sometime-say an
ENTHUSIASTICALLY adding hot water to sup
ply the place of that lost by evaporation.
Take out leaf, put it in vessel Of water,
and rub it between the fingers under the
water. II the epidermis and parenchyma
parate easily, the rest of the leaves may be
removed from the solution, and treated in the
same way; but ifnot then the boiling must
be continued for some time longer. To bleach
the skeletons, mix about drachm of chloride
Of lime with a pint ofwater, adding sufficient
acetic acid to libecate the chlorine Steep
the leaves in this until they are whitened
(abont ten minutes taking care not to let
them stay in too leDg; otherwise they are apt
to become brittle. Put them iuto clean
water, and float them out on pieces of paper
Lastly, remove them from the paper before
they are quite dry, and place them in a book
or botanical press. IS - ygt Il.

A Missionary to the South Sea Island was
SO unfortunate as to lose fine head of hair
by sickness, and being unproyided with pro-
p er restoratives returned 10 England to re.
crit his health. Barrett s Vegetable Hair
Restorative had not then been discovered,
and on regainiDg his health the missionary
provided himself with a wig, and returned
10 the scene of his labors. The native with
natural simplicity supposed he had obtained
some hair seed which he had planted on his
poll and produced luxuriant crop of the
capillary substance. The missionary hu-
mOred this idea for while and promised to
get them some hair seed, but finally aston
Iished them by lifting his wig. They all
shouted with one accord, "He has come from
England with his head thatched. ~ $3.50 '-'
There are too many grey and thatcheb
heads at the present day, and these would be
fewer were the use of "Barrett's Vegetable
Hair Restorative" more universal in the
country. While it is not exa tly chair

and greyness, and is delightful article for

!"PooR Man! CoSsuNrTioN Took HIN OFF,
This is the reply TO thousands ofenquiries
every day propounded by acquaintance up
on learning that another old friend sleeps

tionable the ieorst disease that affiicts the hu-

to the young and middle aged who, had their

War Imminent Between

LoNpoS, April 9rEyening.-It is now
known that Napoleon, deeming the posses
sion Of Luxembourg indispensable for mill
tary security 10 the French frontier, not long
since commenced negotiations with the
King of Holland for the purchase ofthe Grand
Duchy and its incorporation with the French
Empire; but, as the fortress of Luxembourg,
which is one of the strongest forti6cations in
Europe, is held by a Prussian garrison, Prus-
sia being backed by the whole of Germany.
firmly objects to the transfer of the Duchy
to France The King of Holland has with
drawn from all further negotiations on the
subject. The French Emperor insists that
his propositions shall be carried out, and
treaty completed, .-..-
The national pride of France has been
deeply wounded, and a wild anti. Prussia
feeling has seized the country. Meantime
whlle.the dispute is pending, both Austria
and France are making military prepara-
tious. This threatening state Of affairs is the
canse Of the financial panic which now ex-
lists in London, Prris, and all the principal
centres of Europe.

Chicken breeders are far apart in their
opinions as tothe proper time for sitting hens;
some think the esflier In the spring che hens
are sit the better. This think is mistake;
early sitting hens are'apt to leave their nests
more frequently in cold Weather than in
warm, and in SO doing their eggs become
chilled in very short time, and anatural con-
sequence will be great majority Of the eggs
viii not hatch. Those that do hatch will pro-
duce puny chicks which will need extra
care to rear. My experience has been that
the best time for sitting hens is from the mid
die or last of Apriluntii the latter part ofJune
or July. Chickens Matched at this time prove
hardy, and With proper care viii be ready, for
fatting for market in early fall; the hens will
make early layers for the winter. If were
to advise at all, it would be not to sit any
eggs until after the middle of April, unless
there be artificial heat in the henhouse to
keep the temperature Of the same as nearHnis.

A JOKE FOR SELFISH HUSBANDS. m

Lord Ellenborough was once about to
go on the circuit, when Lady Ellepbor-
oughi said that she would like to ac-
company him. He replied that he had
no objection, provided that she did not
cucumber the carriage with bandboxes,
which were his adherence. During the
first days journey, Lord Ellenborough
happening to stretch his legs, struck his
foot, gainst something below the seat.
He discovered that it was a bandbox.
Up went the window and out went the
bandbox. e The eoachman stopped, and
the footman thinking that the bandbox
had tumbled out ofthe window by some
extraordinary chance, was going to pick
it up, when Lord Ellenborough furious
Iy called Out, 'Driye on" 'Fhe bandbox
was accordingly left by. the ditch-side.
Having reached the county town where
he was to of1ciate as Judge, Lord Ellen
