The Fortunes of our Presidents.

Some one has collected information in regard
to the rtunes left by the dead and the living
ex-Presidents. We learn that jefferson died
poor. Indeed, if Congress had not purchased
his library, giving him five times its value, he
would with difficulty have kept the wolf from
his door. Madison saved his money, and was
comparatively rich To add to his fortune,
however, or rather that of his widow, Congress
purchased his manuscript papers, and paid
$40 600 for them. james Monroe, the sixth
President of the United States, died so poor
that his remains found resting place through
the charity of his friends. They remain in a
cemetery. but no announcement marks tho
spot where they rcpose. John Quincy Adams
left some $50. 600, the result of industry, pru-
dence and inheritance. lie was man OF me-
thod and economy. Martin Van Buren died
rich. Throughout his life he studiously looked
out for his own interest James X. Polk left
about Sl5O0OO $4,000 Of which was saved
from his Presidency of four years. John Iy.
Ter left $50 900 Before he as President he
was bankrupt. In Office he husbanded his
means. and then married rich wife. Zachs-
ry Taylor left 100000. Millard Fillmore is
a wealthy man. Franklin Pierce saved $50,
600 from his term Of service. James Buchan-
an. who is bachelor, and saves all he gets, is
estimated to be worth at least 100000.

The speeches of Judge Marshall, James
Madison and Patrick Henry, in the Virginia
Convention of 1888, will go down to the latest
ages of the world.
President Dew said, "If there had been an
earthquake in Richmond, Va, during the con-
vention of 1929 and 1880 and swallowed up
that body, vacuum would have been created
in the Intellectual world which could not have
been filled in one half a century for there
were in that assemblage some of the greatest
men that ever lived in the tide Of time"
Judge Tucker said there was more law in
Fs,p's Fables, in the debates of the Virginia
Convention, and in the Bible, than in all other
books in the world.

Gently met our friend, Dr. Lord, formerly Of

for about six years During his first few years
he was extensively engaged in buying wool,
and on one occasion becoming bewildered with
the multiplicity Of crooked roads over the broad
praries, he road up to small cabin inelosed in
clump of locust trees, and a whte-headed
boy perched on the top Of a hen coop, with:

Raising Onions from Seed.

A good deal Of difficulty is experienced by
nany in raising onions from seeds, and often
the seeds are sown one season and removed
from the earth when grown large enough for
"setts and kept until the next year for ma
turing. The poor success is generally owing
to late sowing and unsuitable soil. A sandy
loam is the best for onions, but they may be
raised proftably in clay soil, By generous
application Of well rotted manure, leaf mold,
or virgin soil. The ground should be prepared
as soon in the spring as the season will ALLOW.
Work it up deeply until thoroughly pulVerized'
al the same time working ii the renoyator.
When the bed has been put into good conn-
ton give the top coating Of fine hen manure
and sand TO the depth Of about one Inch, anu
with the hoe mix this with the surface oi 'no
soil sow the seeds in drills about eight inches
apart, and when they are up, thin to about the
same distance the other way. Keep the bed
clean and the onions in the fall viii be worth
looking al If the season is favorable.

A REMARKABLE OYsTER-A few days since,
saws the Richmond Enquirer, prominent gen
tleman residing in one Of the lower counties,
went on board an oyster boat lying at one of
the landings on York river, and bought few
of the " bivalves in the shell, which he pro-
cecdcd to open for himself. Attached to and
imbedded in the shell Of one of them he en-
countered metallic substance. This oyster he
carried home, and there proceeded to break 1t
to pieces with a hammer. Picture his aston
ishmcnt when he found that it contained
French gold coin, known as a Louis dor, OF
the value of about fourteen dollars, bearing
date 1913. It is probable that it was lost
overheard from the French fleet during the
seire of Yorktown.

Pretty Stanzas.


Leaf by leaf the roses fall,
Drop BY drop the springs run dryj
One by one beyond recall,
Summer beauties fade and die;
But the roses bloom again,
And the spring will gush anew,
In the pleasant april rain
And the Summer sun and dew.
So. in hours of deepest gloom,
When the springs of gladness fail,
And the roses in the bloom
DroUp like maidens wan and pale,
We shall find some hope that lies
Like a silent gem apart,
Hidden far from careless eyes
In the garden of the heart.
Some sweet hope TO gladness wed,
That will spring afresh and new,
When griefs winter shall have fed,
Giving place to rain and dew
Some sweet hope that breathes of Spring,
Through the weary, weary time,
Budding forth its blossoming,
In the spirits glorious cline.
