A Lfvtnr world In the Cup of earnation

1t is welI-known that the examina-
ton of flowers and vegetables OF eV-
cry description by the microscope
opens a new and Interesting field OF
wonders to the inquiring naturalist
Sir John Hill has given the following
curious account of what appeared on
his examining carnatian: Inc pf1n-
cipal flower in an elegant boquet was
a carnation the fragrance OF this led
me to enjoy it frequently and near
The sense of smelling was not the
only one affected ON these OCCASIONS
While that was satisfied by the pow
erfuI sweet, the ear was constantly at
tackled by an extremely soft but agree
able muYmuring sound. 1t was easy
to know that some animal within the
covert must be the musician, and that
the little noise must come from some
little creature suited to produce 1t. 1
instantly distended the lower part OF
tine flower, and, placing it IN full
light, could discover troops OF niue
insects frisking with wild Jolilfy
among the narrow pedestals that sup
ported its leaves, and the little threads
that occupied its center What 2 fra
grant world fof their habitation =
What perfect security from all an
noyance in the dusky husk that sur
rounded the scene of action! Adapt
ing a microscope to take in at one
view the whole base of the flower, l
gave myself an opportunity of con,
templating what they were about, and
this for many days together, without
giving them the least disturbance
Thus could discover their economy,
their passions and their enjoyments.-
The microscope, on this occasion, had
given what nature seemed to have de-
MED to theE objects of centempiation
The base Of Tire flower extended itself
under its influence to vast plain the
slender stem of the leaves became
trunks of so many stately cedars; the
threads in the middle seemed columns
of massy structure, supporting at the
top of their several ornaments; and
the nefroWs ssbace cegs betweens were en-
-larged In walks, parterres and terra
ces. On the polished bottom of these,
brighter than Parian marble, walked
in pairs alone, or in larger companies,
the winged Inhabitants; these from
little dusky flies, for such only the
naked eye would have shown them,
were raised to glorious, glittering an
imals, stained with living purple, and
with glossy gold that would have
made all the labors of the loom con-
temptible in the comparison. Icould,
at leisure, as they walked together,
admire their elegant limbs, their vel
yet shoulders and their silken wings
-4their backs vieing with the empE
rean In its blue; and their eyes, each
formed of thousand others, outglit-
tered the little plains on a brilliant,
above description, and almost too
great for admiration.

On the 28th of July, about half-past
eight o'clock in the evening, the faml-
ly of John Sanderson, of Sehodack
Landing were thrown into terrible
state OF excitement by d thunderbols
shock of electricity which passed
down the stovepipe, Bursting out at
each side, seyering the iron, explod-
ing within two feet of Mr., Sanderspn,
thence nassing between himself and
wife, who was sitting nursing her
youngest child, throwing her forward
some distance, she still embracing the
infant. The electricity struck on each
side of closed door, passed over the
6aglilyy foneisting of eight children,
in thatfooft, splitting a three BY four
inch joist, blowing up the ground four
feet at the extremity, leaving a hole
in the ground. The light was extin-
guished, total darkness succeeded the
billiant and many colored flashes,
IBavihg 81 strong su1phurous smell and
smoke behind. The screams of the
family were appalling. Upon light
being procured, Mr.. Sandersona lnatai-
rally expected to see some of his fam
lily in the arms of death. The three
eldest daughters, who were. in the
room above, Immediately rushed
down, when it was perceived that one
of them shook as though under the
effects, ef, a strong fgalyanie. shock,
trembling from head Ito foot, q. Upon

she has not yet entirely recovered.

DON'T SELL THE CALVES.

Too many farmers are tempted into
selling their calves and young stock,
when some butcher or dealer comes
along and offers them fair price.
This is poor economy. Farmers
should remember, as we have remark
ed in relation to miIch cows in anoth-
er place, that all animals used for food
and raised upon the farm should be
regarded simply in the light of ma
chimes for converting grain and grass
into money. This is one of the fun
damental principles of good farming.
Every farm needs just as many of
these machines as it can possibly sup
port; and there is scarcely a limit to
the amount of stock, an industrious,
go ahead, pushing farmer can keep
upon quarter section Of good graz
ing land 99trlC. h8iln j IG3tNJ
Then we advise the farmers to resist
all fancy prices for their calves, build
up herd. start the moving machine
early and keep it moving late. Save
your cornfodder and straw, and raise
more vegetables. Economy in saving
feed will enable you to raise and keep
more stock and if there is profit in
ten calves, there is more profit in fifty.
To less extent, the same is true of
hogs; but it is easier to overstock a
farm with hogs, than with cattle or
sheep.
Still, almost everysfa1mer could Just
as well keep and fattenl two or three
times as many hogs as he does, if ne
would have a little more confidence
in his calling, hire more labor, culti-
yate more of his land that is now ly-
ling idle. In q word, if the farmer
would "push things" we would have
fewer farmes poor in purse.
