Curious Crops in Germany.

One of the most common crops raised
in Germany is that of trees, so that one
sees pine forests planted in great numbers.
These are laid off in rows as straight as
those Of a corn field. There is scarcely
any wood at all in Germany but what is
thus cultivated. The land is, in many
places, so poor that it cannot be titled
every year; SO that by taking number
of years to raise Il crop of trees the occu.
pants effect the double purpose Of supply
ing themselves with wood and of getting
at the end of that time, fallow ground
again. One can see the pine tree fields
ofsall ages, some with little trees of one
or two years growth, and others with
large ones ready for the axe. When
they gather in forest they grub up eve
ry stump as low as there are any roots
fit to burn.
Another curious crop in Germany is
that of fish. In Northern Bavaria, es-
pecially, the fish ponds are very numer-
Gus. The whole country is spotted with
them, and has the appearance of being
filed with little lakes. The sight is quite
unique, and often beautiful. Wherever
there is a marshy place, or the lands
need to be drained, they catch the water
in fish pond. Those in America who
are cursed with sloughs might take les
sons from the Germans in this. Many
farmers realize as much from their water
crop as from their land crop. At the
foot of hills often, and where the waters
come down from mountain, they build
these ponds. Not unfrcquently they dam
up large streams, or turn off sufficient Of
the water for their purpose. Sometimes
along whole brook one may see dozens
of fish-ponds following close one after the
other. They have, accordingly, in North.
crn Bavaria always a good supply of fish
notwithstanding they are far from the
sea, and no large rivers flow through
their country.
Another crop that is extensively cult
waited in these regions is hops. This be
ing the great beer country, hops, are, o
course, in great demand The who'll
country in the neighborhood of Hamburg
and Hersbruck produces scarcely any
= thing else. As far as the eye can reacl
the hills and valleys may be seen GOV
cred with hop poles, which are nov
stacked in pyramids, the time having no
quite yet arrived for planting them. Th
shooting of the young hop vines has jus
begun; and, as one rides along in tn
cars he can see for miles, on both side
of the road, field after field of hops risin
to his view. In some localities one ca
see nothing else, every hill and hollo'
being planted with them. | presum
that nine-tenths of the country people i
some of these districts are engaged excl
sively in hop-raising The grains ais
that are cultivated, as also througho,
!, all Germany, have close relation
, beer-making, barley being the chief or
of them. Barley here takes the plac
> that wheat and corn does in Amoric
! and when farmer brings his crops
market it is not to the warehouses, b,
to the brewcries.

Having become satisfied after thorough investi-
cation that Elastic Sponge las now and lately man
ufactured if one of the best of all the substitutes
for curled hair for many if not most uses in up
holstery, we have accepted the Agency Of it, and
intend to make it heseafter speciality in bus
mess. The objections which have been made to
it and which 1t is well known We ourselves have
thought we were well founded we have ascertain
cd cannot be urged against the article as now per-
fected The process of manufacture has been en-
tirely remodeled under the advice and superin-
tendence of one of the most eminent chemists of
New England. New chemical and mechanical
appliances have been introduced in cleansing crude
Sponge, and to charging it with glycerine with
such entire success, that Elastic Sponge may now
be said to be chemically pure. There is absolute
ly nothing in it but the clean fiber of Sponge and
chemically pure glycerine.
The objection to Elastic Sponge being thus re-
moved there remain its undisputed merits which
certainly entities it to be considered one of the
most valuable as II is one of the most curious and
interefting of laie discoveries. Chief among these
merits isthat it is proof against NOTES.-The grea
scourge of the business, and against all other in
sects. Then its elasticity is permanent, based a

The VagabOnd-Sage.

An old man Of very active physiogno-
my, answering to tho name of Jacob
Wilmot, was brought before the police
court. His clothes looked as though
they might have been bought second
handed in his youthful prime, for they
had suffered more from the rubs of the
world than the proprietor himself.
"What business ?"
"None. I'm traveller"
"a vagabond, perhaps"
"You are not far from wrong. Tray
elers and vagabonds are about the same
thing. The difference is that the latter
travel without money, the former without
brains"
"Where have you travelled 7'
"All over the continent"
"For what purpose ~
observation"
what have you observed ?"
"a little to commend, much to censure,
and great deal to laugh at"
"Humph what do you commendY'
"a handsome woman who will stay at
home; an eloquent preacher that will
preach short sermons a good writer that
will not write too much and fool that
has sense enough to hold his tongue
"What do you censure ?"
"a man that marries girl for her
fine clothing youth who studies med
icine while he has the use Of his hands ;
and the people who will elect drunkard
to office"
What do you laugh at ?"
"I laugh at man who expects his po-
sition to command that respect which his
personal qualifications and qualities do
not merit"
He was dismissed.

Roar Oh tempest, shrek thy anguish,
Howl, and moan, and sweep the sea;
Mad waves, lash thy rocky barriers;
Screaming sea-birds glare at mo.
Stand here upon the clf-top,
Der my brow no trace of pain,
Scornful laugh at thy rawlings,
Seething, surging, foaming main.
Thou art suffering mighty ocean,
And thy wailings rend the air,
Like the death-cry of a proud heart
Breaking, sinking in despair.
Ay' | know it for I've lived it,
Bravod it through. And nothing lett
save the empty desolation
Of spirit, crushcd-bcreft.
Yet my songs are ever gnyest,
Lightest, clearest ring my laugh,
And the world has never dreamed, that
Aught but sweetest draughts | qunf
But close locked within my bosom,
Long the poisoned steel has lain,
Till the venom drinks my life-blood,
And gnaws at heart and brain.
Until all things earthly mock me,
And echo shouts in glee
At pride assisting sorrow
In crucifying me.
Till dark shadows hover Ger me,
And to thee | come for rest,
Come, my throbbing brow to pillow
On thy rocking, heaying breast.
Come, where in thy coral caverns,
Fairy forms shall guard my bed,
