The cockroach is bug at large.
He is one of the luxuries of civil
zation.
He is easy to domestikate, yielding
gracefully to ordinary kindness, and
never deserting those who show him
proper acts of courtesy.
We are led to believe, upon close ex-
animation ov the outward crust of these
fashionable insekts, that they are highly
successful in intermarriage between the
burnette pissmire and the 'artikilus
berO, or common American grasshopper.
He don't leave the place he was born
at upon the slightest provocation, like
the giddy and vagrant flea, or the fe-
rocious bed-bugg; and until death Tor
some vile power, the invenshun of man,
knocks at'his front door, he and his bro
theirs and sisters. may be seen with the
naked eye ever and anon calmly climbing
the white sugar bowl, or running foot
races between the butter plates.
The cockroach is born on the fust ov
May and the fust of November, semi
annually, and is reddy for use in fifteen
days from date.
They are born from an egg-four from
each egg-and consequently they are all
of them twins. There is no such thing
Ala tho adhuio w dututO 40 u oinSiO OOSh-
roach.
The material bug don't sett upon the
egg as the goose doth, but leaves them
lie round loose, like pint of split mus
tard seed. and don't seem to care darn
whether they get ripe or not.
But L never knew cockroach egg fail
tew put in appearance. They are as sure
tew hatch put and run as Kanada thistles,
or bad kold.
The cockroach is of two colors, sorrel
and black. They are always on the
move, an kan trot, 1 should say, on n
good track, and good day. cluss to
three minitts.
Their food seems to consist not so
much in what they eat as what they
travel, and often finding them dead in
my soup at the boarding house, I have
cum to the conclusion that q cockroach
can't swim, but they can float.
Naturalists hav also declared that the
cockroach have no double teeth. This
is an important fackt, and ought to be
introduced in all the primary school
books of Amerika.
But the most interesting feature of
this remarkable bugg is the lovelyness of
their natures. They can't bite nor sting,
nor even jack back. They are SO amia-
BILE that have even known them tew get
stuck in the butter, and lay there all day,
and not holler for help, and actually die
at last with q broken heart.

\ Bitter Ritten.-.A Atarrisd Lethnris
- Saets iIllo TfoisfsIe. -,

A very amusing little incident recently
occurring in our cit Isl being whispered
around by parties seemingly we'll nd
sised In the premises. It appears that at
one of our fashionable places of amuse-
mept, last winter, o very fascinating and
pretty soubrette had short engagement.
IT. was sufficiently long, however, to
completely enlist the admiration of q
gentleman engaged in commercial pur-
suits, and not q great while from North
ern latitude. BY some means the par
ties became acquainted, and as the days
fed along, mutual sympathy mellowed
into love. The lady, little coy at first,
finally lent listening ear to the entrea-
ties of her adorer, and after brief en-
gagement, they were married Of course,
it is not the intention of the reporter to
recite the rosy dreams of the honey
moon; how each adored the other, and
happiness, radiant as poesy itself, be-
witched the hours into visions of do
light.
Weeks sped along, and months had
measured their length on times dial.
Butat last a circumstance occurred which
put an end to billing and cooling, and re-
vealed domestic imbroglio not at all in
harmony with the felicity that preceded
it.
One day the husband entered his wifes
apartment with the declaration that,
deeply as he regretted such m event,
they must part.
''Part-you don't mean to leave me?"
exclaimed the lady.
"Deeply as L regret the circumstance,
such is the easel" was the reply.
''But why? What have done-what
wrong have committed?"
Nothing"
"And yet you leave me?"
''My dear, in the haste of our mar
riage L forgot to mention little fact,
which, in the mind of casuists, might
have formed an objection to it. 1 have
another wife livingl"
Impossible"
''It,is true, my dear. gr>s
The lady was silent for moment, and
then. assuming her most bewitching
smile, replied:
"My dear, I must confess that I sus-
pected something of the sort, and to
guard against any future trouble, I had
little paper prepared by my attorney,
which you remember to have signed in
the Justices Office the day we were mar
ried. You supposed it to be merely q
certificate of marriage; but it was merely
III alIlcie VI aSreement, III WHICH you
promise to allow me, in case of separa-
tion, an annuity OF. So, 500. Under the
peculiar circumstances of the case, 1
shall have to exact tho fulflment of this
agreement, or have you arrested for

"True, my dear; here is copy-the
justice has the original"
GThis ia n 'syiniIatn i."---r '...
"Oh, no., my dear; only business
transaction" ,esr ,....c. -.
There was somefurther protest-n lit
tie angry recrimination; but it is need
less to say the conditions of the bond
were finally complied with, and on this
comfortable allowance, the lady, enter
tains serious thoughts of forsakihg the
buskin.-Neu Orleans Picdyune.

Raising Poor Land.

A CASTLE { N. Y. correspondent of the
Rural New Yorker talks senslbly in the
following;
In the latter part of my life have en-
deavored to improve piece of exhaused
Iand-a labor in which, think, have
been quite successful.
Here permit me to say that our country,
10 all its wooded portions, is largely in
debled to decayed leaves for its native fer
tlity. When new timbered land was first
put under crop its yield was most abau-
dant. When over-cropped, The vegetable
mold was exhausted, and people began to
complain. They still complain, but in an
improper manner.
1t IS seen that even newly cleared land
will not now yield such crops as were OBJ
tanned when the country was new. Why
is what all do not seem to know. The
''why" is plainly this When any wood
ed country is more than half of it cleared {,
and the cleared part over cropped, there is
not a supply of gas in the atmosphere to
nourish the vegetation, whether it be grain
or grass. But another d lfficulty attends
All over-cropped lard becomes hardened
by the pillow. It also become excessively
wet, and cannot be restored to its native
fertility without great care, 1t Will great
ly improve if left to grass, and the grass
left to decay on the ground. But such is
not the course adopted.
Then 1 have found it highly beneficial to
drain thoroughly, aud then subsoil deeply.
AS very large part Of the community seem
at loss to know what is meant by "sub-
soiling." will here explain. All deep
blowing. with the furrow- pillow. operates in.
juriously except upon deep deposits Of
muck.
Whoever would really improve land af'
ter ditching, must pillow not over six in
ches deep with the furrow pillow, and then
use we'll constructed sub soiler, drawn
by sufficient team to work deeply, without
raising the sab-sOil SO as to mix with the
top soil.
Land thus treated and top dressed. provet
very roductive-though not quite equa
to what it was when the country was new
By this process 1 have more than doubled
the common yield of every kind of croI
that have tried. The fertility of lands
thus treated remains tor years. One sub
solling has answered for FIVE years.
We think this writer gives too little at
tention to the inn ortance of blowing I'm
der cloveHas an efficient restorator of worl
out lands. His views of dilching. blowing
and sudsoiling are wise, no doubt.
