THE WAY TO BE HAPPY.
Peace to his bones, the first who spread
The soft luxuriunt bed,
For mans indulgence given;
Still, as stretch each weary limb,
cast grateful thought ON him,
And wish him rest in Heaven.
Yet he's ninny, whosupposes
That every beds bed CT roses
For idle's the conjecture.
The bachelors from bliss debard
And he finds Hymen's rather hard,
Who hears a curtain lecture.
Would you avoid the noisome din
of scolding wife and surely win
Her love for you forever,
Go buy WALNUT CHAMBER SET
At MERRIMAN's Store-now don't forget,
And you'll regret it never.

A RIVAL to New York is springing up in
heretofore overlooked quarter. The group OF
cities on the Jersey shore will, should the
dream of consolidation now entertained be
realized, form metropolis SURPRISING the
island city in both commerce and population.
This citv of the future comprises stretch Of
country seventeen miles in radius from Jersey
City, including Newark, Elizabeth, Paterson,
Hackensack, and numerous smaller towns,
an area of 122 square miles-bigger than all
London. The territory embraces cities and
towns nearly as closely united as is Boston
lation numbers 100000, an increase of &c per
cent. since 1860. Within the same period
the valuation has doubled. The proposed
municipality has wonderful facilities for the
accommodation of commerce, and the water
front is suffic ent for the shipping of all the
world. The difficulty of rapid transit, which
has long been stumbling block in the way
of New York expansion, is not experienced
on the Jersey side. Already many important
lines..of railway discharge their freight upon
the Jersey City docks, whence it is taken by
some of the principal lines of ocean steam
ers. In consideration of these circumstances
and of the very rapid growth of the sister
cities New York has much apparent cause to
dread the increasing grandeur of her young
and at present unarticulated rivals. When
the many become one the size of that one
will be quite overshadowing, and its title as
the American city of the future will scarcely
be disputed.

Fish and Fisheries.

Professor Baird, United States Commits
sioner of Fish and Fisheries, states the fol-
lowing conclusions from his investigations
in New England waters in 1871 and 1872;
That the diminution OF food fishes along
the south coast of New England is sub
stantiated that the shore fisheries have
been gradually decreasing Tor twenty
years; that by 1871 traps and pounds had
taken the place of hook and line in all sue
cessful fishing; that bluefsh are decreas-
ing that the period of decrease of shore
fisheries is synehronal with the time during
which traps and pounds have been well
established; that in 1872 the decrease was
so great as to diminish the profit of traps
that this decrease is due to pounds or weirs,
and to the ravages Of bluefsh upon spawn
ing fish that the remedy is to regulate
the action of the weirs during the spawn
ing season, prohibiting their use from Fri
day night until Monday morning of each
week of the spawning season. Professor
Baird adds: 81 am not prepared to advo-
cate the abolition of traps and pounds, as
without them it would probably be ex-
tremely difficult to furnish fish in sufficient
quantities to meet the present and
increasing demand of the country, and
they also perform an important service in
the capture of bait. 4"

An ARTISTIC RESIDENCE.

An ARTISTIC RESIDENCE.
EDrroRs GLoBE "A few leagues from
our city, in the town of Wellesley, is stu
atcd the famous estate of Mr. II. ii. Hum
newell
For many years this noted place has held
an undisputcd title to the supremacy
among its ncighbors and rivals in the EBAY
State" The wealthy proprietor, having
combined agriculture and high floral art
with the beauties and benefits of nature,
has succeeded in producing perfection in
his gardens, groves and Conservatives,
which would favorably bear criticism
with the famous tracts of horticulture in
any nation of the world
The long country road winds off among
orchards, farms and fields, stretching up
and down the gentle undulations of the
land, until the approach to the estate is
signalled by the appearance of a fine gran
lite wall, surmounted by Towering hedge,
which skirts an expanse of woodland in
which arboriculture and natural growth
are the themes of the gardener.
Finally, the rustic Porter's Lodge and
massive iron gates appear, through which
the visitor is courteously admitted, since
upon certain afternoons of the week the
grounds with all their attractions are
thrown open to the public-a favor which
is by no means neglected.
AT the very hinges of the gates begins
the marvellous cultivation which is no.
where allowed to flag throughout the four
hundred acres of land under tillage. Upon
the left of the entrance, and just at the
rise of the avenue, is magnolia grove, in
the center of which stands rustic cabin,
reminding one of the woodland scenes of
Florida and the Southern States. The
magnolia trees are of remarkable size and
exceedingly beautiful, with their surglng
leaves and floating lily-like flowers.
A little beyond is seen yeritable jungle
of the rhododcndrons, the culture which
has Of late attracted so much attention in
this country. These plants, of the Laurel
