AN ENGLISH merchant was dining with
a Chinese mandarin, when it struck bim
that perhaps the dish he had eaten of so
heartily might have been stewed cats, for
he had heard they were in the habit OF

remarkable Discovery in Ten

LeCAAAdsA AAasOAC ASASSDu uCA y AAA @C--
nessee.
The Chattanooga Union says that
Mr.. William Staples, while digging,
recently, in a salt lick on his farm,
twelve miles northeast of Kingston,
Tenn, struck solid limestone rock,
about seven feet below the surface.
He found in it a well, about eight
inches in diameter, filled with very
salt water. After the discovery of
the well, Mr.. Staples prosecuted his
Investigations, and found to his sur
prise, a line of salt kettles. The ket-
ties were of stOneware, made of the
same material as that used by the
Indians for their home ware, such as
plates, dishes, &c. The kettles were
broken, but the curvature indicated
that they were about three feet in di-
ameter, and were about forty in num-
Der. A most striking fact connected
with this discovery, is that these ket-
ties were found at depth of seven
feet below the surface of the ground.
Growing above them were trees-pOp-
lar and oak--which were evidently
two centuries old.

FLOWERS,


''God might have made the earth bring forth
Enongh for great and small,
The oak-trse and the csdar-tree,
Without a heWsr at all.
He might have made enough, enough
For every want Of ours
For luxury, medicine, and toll,
And yet have made no flowers.
Our outward life requires them not
Then wherefore have they birIhl
To minister delight 70 man:
To beautify the earth,
To comfort man-To whisper hope
Whene'er his faith Is dim
For whose careth for the fuwers,
VIII much more care for Him."

What Is It to grow oliI

Is it to feel our strength
Not our bloom only, bat our strsngth-dseayi

Grow sitter, every function less exact,
Each nerve more weakly strunga
Yes, this, and morei but not,
An, 'tis not what in youth we dreamed 'tWould bel
IT'S not to have our iifN
lIellowed aud softened sH With sunset glow
A golden days declined
'Tis not to see the world,
As from height, with Tapt prophetic eyes,
And heart profoundly stirred;
And weep, and feel the fullnesa Of the past
The hearts that are no mOrel
It Is to spend long days
And not once feel that We were ever young.
It is 60 add, immursd
IN the hos prison Of the present, month
To month with weary pain.
It is to suffer this,
And feel but half, and fssbIy, what We feel.
Deep in our hidden heart
Fosters that dull remembrance Of change
But no emotion-nOns.
It is-last stage Of all
When we are frozen up within, and quite
The phantom Of ourselves,
To hsar the world applaud the hollow ghost,
Who blamed the living man.

We are gravely informed by one of
the Charleston papers, that many
"men of gentle blOod' have actually
gone to wOrk-that they are holding
the plOw and sowing seed that they
may have bread. If these specimens
of the "gentle blood" could only live
awhile in "nigger quarters" subsist
on two pounds of meat and a peck of
meal per week, be occasionally treat
ed to the Old-fashiOned lash, have a
child or two sold away from them,
and be generally subjected te the dia-
bOIism of the old time, we should
find that South Carolina was one of
the most reliable Republican States in
the Union. As these things are not
in the Republican programme, we
can only encourage the experiment
which these sons of chivalry have
inaugurated, by shouting, at this dis
tance, "GOit, gentle blOOd!" better
men than you are at work, and think
it no discreditW- rChicagO Tribune.

St. Louis Journal of Agriculture says:
''The prospect for an abundant crop Of
peaches the coming season is very pro
missing indeed. The same may be said
of nearly all other fruits. The severe
drought of the fall prevented a late
growth, and the young wood was well
ripened before winter. The fruit buds
were not sufficiently developed to be
particularly susceptible to injury by
frost, and unless they are injured by
the late spring frOsts we shall have a
