HABIT OF Work In "Finding Ones
Occupation Cone" intended apparently
to show the impossibility of a man actual
ly retiring from all work, find the fol-
lowing:
"Mr Meagles, the ex- banker, in his
charming retreat at Twickenham, had a
snug room overlooking the town, which
was fitted up in part like dressing room
and in part like an office, and in which,
upon a kind of counter-desk, was pair
of brass scales for weighing gold, and a
scoop for shoveling out money. The
laundering after old occupations is every
where to be met with after the occupa-
tion's gone" ~ "Mr. Dickens, on his
homeward passage from America, had
for one of his fellow passenger an English
sailor, smart, thorough-built man-of-
wars man from his hat to his shoes, who
was on his way home to see his. friends,
and who, when he presented himself to
| take and pay for his passage, had been
advised to work it instead and save his
money! suggestion he secuted with
scorn ineffable, swearing, in seaman's
style OF imprecation, that nothing should
hinder him going as a gentleman. So
they took his money. But no sooner was
he aboard than he slowed his kit in the
forecastle, arranged to mess with the
crew, and the very first time the hands
turned up, he went aloft like cat before
| anybody. And all through the passage
there he was, first at the braces, outer
most on the yards, perpetually lending a
hand everywhere, but always witha sober
dignity in his manner, and sober grin
on his face, which plainly said, Z do it
as gentleman. For mytown pleasure
mind you.' n. f4

How He LAID HIM OUT.-A New
Hampshire man and man from Ohio
CHANGED TO meet at public dinner in
New York. The man from Ohio sug-
gested to the man of the Granite State
that it might be advantageous to him to
to remove to the West, especially if he
proposed to follow the pursuit Of farm
er. The Yankee could not see it: there
was no state in the Union equal to New
Hampshire. He of the Buckeye State
could not agree to this. Ohio was infer.
ior ito New Hampshire in no respect,
while in many respects she was superior
The Yankee demanded to know a super
ior feature. The Buckeye commenced to
enumerate; but as fast as he presented
his claims of superiority, his antagonist
unhesitatingly swept them away by bold
and vigorous declarations to the contrary.
At length when all sources of argument
had been exhausted, the Buckeye conf

"Yon WILL at least allow that Ohio just

in point of the extent of her territory ?"

responded the Yankee. ssYour State

TURNING Down GREEN ToPs.-It has
got into the papers that blowing down
green crops produces acid in the soil
from the decomposition which is hurtful
to crops; it it is better to turn under
when the crop is matured; that the de.
composition will then be lower, and no
hurt will result
This is doubtless true with some soils
those deficient In alkaline matter. But
as most. soils contain lime, and potash,
and other kindred material, this acid is
not only harmless but beneficial, as it
unites with the alkalis, making plant
food, which otherwise nigh lie, as it al
ready has for ages, useless to vegetation.
1t is for this reason that the turning
under of green crops is highly recon-
mended, not because its chemical action
is known, but because experience has
demonstrated its advantage. The Great
majority of cases have demonstrated its
advantage. The great majority of cases
have demonstrated that it is gooc thing
to turn down the full, blossoming, succu,
lent crop. The alkalis are most always
present in some form to take up and unite
with the acid. In soils where the acids
remain free would it not be we'll to
sprinkle the clover with lime before
ploughing, or previously applying it to
the soil In such a case lime would be
benefit in any event, as the soil requires

A CURE FOR LEPRosY.-A cure for lep.
rosy has been discovered in India. Ac-
ccrding to the Pioneer, medical science
has at last triumphed over this terrible
disease. The civil surgeon of Khundwa
reports the case of an old Jew who came
to him from Bombay, in great grief, say.
that his friends had excluded him from
their society and obliged him to live in
hut by himself He was at this time
pleasingly notified with rose color. The
doctor at once washed him with soap and
warm water, and the old Jew showed
sign Of improvement. He was then an
nointed with carbolic acid and oils with
such good effects that next day he wrote
to his wife to expect him home in a
week. In short, what with WASHING
with soap and water, and what with an
nointiDg with carbolic acid and oil, the ole
Jew was soon completely cured. The
experiment had, moreover, an interes

was being conquered in the chameleon
variations of the corpus 0ile under expert

was glossy black and brown; a little
later he became speckled gray; then his

HE Cows lNTELLIGENCE.-Th COWS
have memory, language, signs, and the
means Of enjoying The pleasant associa-
ton combining for aggressive
purposes have been e recognized
but scarcely to the extent the sub
ject merits. Travelling in Italy, many
years ago, we visited some of the large
dairy farms in the ighborhood of Fera
ra. lnterspersed among much of the low
lying, unhealthy land, remarkable for the
prevalence on it of very fatal forms of
anthrax in the summer season, ARE fine un-
dulating pasture lands and, and the fields
are of great extent. We happened to
stop farm house one fine autumn after
noon when the cows were about to be
MIXED. A herd of over one hundred
was grazing homeward ~ .'-
The women took their positions with
stool and pail close to the house. and as
the COWS approached, names were called
out which, at first, we thought, were adj
dressed to the milk maids. Rosa, Floren-
"a, Giula, Sposa, and many names, which
were noted at the time, were called out by
the oyerseer o. one of the women, and we
were astonished to see COW after COW cease
feeding or chewing the cud and make di-
rect, sometimes at trot, for the women
that usually MIXED her.
The practice we found, was not con-
fined to one farm all the COWS on each
farm knew their respective namet, and
took up their position, just as readily as
the individual members of some large
herds in this country turning from the
helds to take up their places in the sheds

No HUMBUG.-Mr. e. B. Warner com
municates to the Denver Tribune some
curious statistic in relation to the potato
bug, that will perhaps explain it's multi
tudinous visitation in the States east.
From careful observations he finds that
thirty three days completes the cycle of
one generation from fertilization to the
pupa state, or about three crops annually
in this latitude. Seven hundred of these
bugs are the average product of single
female, from which the family grows in
the second generation to $4,000, and in
the third to 87,700,00O, which must be
considered as very respectable increase.
A further calculation shows that one
female bug can thus expand itself into a
production of sixteen hundred and sixty
six bushels of average sized bugs in a
little over three months! Any one look
ing over the gardens and potato fields at
the present time, will conclude that sew
eral of these females must have already
made fair start the present season. The
persons who can turn them into some eco
nomical Use, may not only make fortune,
but get unanimous vote of thanks. If
they are to develope On the theory pro
posed we shall be forced before fall to
annex Canada to get storage room. What

fort. What Will the next be =?

FRENCH CRUELTY. column OF pris-
oners halted in the Avenue Ulrich, and
was drawn up four or five deep on the
footway facing to the road. General the
Marquis de Gallifet and his staff who had
preceded us there, dismounted, and COM
nenced an inspection from the left Of the
line, and near where was. Having seen
nv Belgian friend speak to the General,
was quite free from the alarm which
subsequent proceedings might have 9TH
erWise justly. occasioned. Walking down
slowly, eyeing the ranks as if at an IN.
spection, the General stopped here and
there, tapping a man on the shoulder, or
beckoning him out of the rear ranks
In most cases without parley, the individ-
ual thus selected was marched out into
the center Of the road, where a small sup
plem entary column was soon formed.
Could there have been any doubt in the
mind of a looker-on of the object of this
selection, it must have been soon dispelled
by the conduct and and countenances. of
the selected. They evidently knew too
well that their last hour was come, and it
was fearfully interesting to see their diff
ferent demeanors. One, already wound
ed, his shirt soaked with blood, sat down
in the road and howled with anguish,
calling on God and his mother alternate
ly in the most pitiable terms others wept
in silence; two soldiers, presumed desert
ers, pale, but collected, appealed to all the
other prisoners as to whether they had
ever seen them among their ranks; some
smiled defantly, and others staggered out
with flmy gaze on their eyes and lead
en- countenance, as if death had already
seized them It was an awful thing to see
one man thus picking out batch of his
fellow creatures to be put to violent
death in few. minutes without further
trial No doubt most of them had richly
deserved their fate, but it was equally
evident that there was considerable room
for error. Over one hundred being thus
chosen, firing party was told off,and the
column resumed its march, leaving them
behind In d few minutes afterwards a
dropping fire in our rear commenced, and
continued for over quarter of an hour
It was the execution of these summarily
convicted wretches, and before we had
reached La Muette tie firing party had
rejoined US.

FAT MENU is a striking fact that
most persons want to weigh more than
they do, and measure their health by
their weight, as If a man were a pig, val
liable in proportion to his heayiness
The racer is net fat-a good plough-horse
has but moderate amount of flesh.
Heavy men are not those which exper-
fenced contractors employ to build rail
roads and dig bitches Thin men, the
world over, are the men for endurance ;
are the wiry and hardy; thin people live
the longest. The truth is, fat is dis.
ease, and as proof, fat people are never
well day at time-are not suited for
hard work. Still, there is medium be-
tween as fat as butter ball, and as thin
and juiceless as fence-rail. For mere
looks, moderate rotundity is most desir.
able, to have flesh enough to cover ali an
gularities. To accomplish this in the
shortest time, man should work but lit
tie, sleep great part of the tine, allow
ing nothing to worry him, keep always in
joyous, laughing mood, and live chiefly
on albuminates, such as boiled cracked
wheat, and rye, and oats, and corn, and
barley, with sweet milk, and butter,milk
and fat meats. Sugar is the best fatten,er
known. b m
