aud letting hin hang upon the fatal
mesh until the long-iegged interest de-
YOURS him. There Is but one thing on
farm like it, and that is the Canada
thistle, which swarms new plants eve,y
time you break its roots. whose blossoms
are prolific, and devery flower the father
of a million seeds. Every plant like q
platoon of bay onets, and field Of them
like au arm, d host. The whole plant is
torment and vegetable curse. And
yet a farmer had better make his bed OF
thistles than attempt to be at ease upon

Secretary Boutwell, received the other
day, from the West, q curious letter.
The writer said he was the father oil
triplets. and somebody had told him
there was fund set apart out of which
was given a bounty 10 pateuts having
such u run of luck. He said be had two
ehil,lren besides, and as his means were
not large. If there was such a fund he
hoped the Secretary would put him in
the way of receiving the benefit of it.
To confirm aud establish the truth OF
the story, photographs of the three born
at birth were attached TO the letter
He was inf,rmea that although some
government had madesHch provision, ii
had thus far escaped the at .ention OF our
