Souvel has invented a process for
preserving grain in vaeuo, which has
been t~ayorrahlly reported upon by the
Parls academy, He places the grain
lq q cylindrical vessel of riveted iron
plates, capable Of holding any conve-
nlent quantity. The air is then pumped
pug until the pressure is so reduced as
to destroy all insect life, after which it
may. be somewhat increased without
detriment to the corn.

THE ART OF MAKING MoNEY.-One great
cause of the poverty of the present day, is the
failure Of many people to appreciate small
sums they cannot save anything. They do not
realize how a daily addition, he it ever so small,
will soon make a large pile, If the young men
and women of to-day will only begin, and begin
now, to.save a little from their arnings and
invest it in some savings bank, and weekly or
monthly add to their mite, they will wear q
happy smile of content when they reach middle
life. Not only the pile itself will increase, but
the desire and ability to increase it will soon
grow. Let the clerk and tradesman, IabOrer
and artisan, make now and at once a beginning.
Store up some of your youthful force and yigor
for future contingencies. Let parents teach
their children to begin early to save. Begin at the
fountain head to control the stream of extraVa-
gance, and then the work will be easy to choose
between poverty and riches. Let our youth 20
on in the habits Of extravaganza for fifteen
earstocome as they have for fifteen years past.
and weshall be a natiOn o beggars with money
ed aristocracy. Let a generation of such as save
in small sums be reared, and we shall be free
from want. Do not be ambitious for extraya.
CANT fortunes but seek that which it ia the duty
of every man to Observation-Disclosures and n
comfortable home. Wealth in sufficient quan-
titles is within the reach of Ill. 1t can Onfv he

VERY SENSIBLE ADVICE.-"Can't find
time readm 1t is all gammon-nOthing
in the world but an excuse for stingi-
ness, that little despicable thing in man
which will always keep himself and
family in ignorance and want. There
is no excuse for ignorance in this
country. Facilities and opportunities
for a liberal education are right at the
hands of every one. The press and the
common schools afford advantages for
acquiring an education and knowledge
of the institutions, events and achieve
ments of the past and present which
any one can avail himself of, and he
who ignores and neglects them is des-
titute of those aspirations which distin-
guish man from the beast of the field.
If the masses would devote more of
their time to newspaper reading the
demagOgue's OccupatiOn-that of
hoodWinking and humbugging the peO-

offices would be filled with men of
qualifications and merit. newspapers
we're more generally taken and more
thoroughly read, excuses i'll legislation,
executive usurpatiOns of power, of
every species and magnitude would be
recognized at once, condemned and
checked by the emphatic protest of pat
riotic people, whoselove oflibertyandin-
dependence is unquenchable, though Of
teninert. The great troubles the masses
are wOefully ignorant Of their duties
and rights, are not familiar enough
with the origin, the authority, the juris-
diction and operations of the institu-
lions and tribunals of the country. If
they were better informed they would
not he So ~OuieScpnf under the frauds

would rise in their wrath and demand
a redress of their grievances, and the
restitution of those rights and immuni-
ties which have been destroyed or re-

qualities essentially important in fol-
lowing this business. Of course they
would make it return more; but there
are few great difficulties to combat in
obtaining the moss in the country, or in
the handling and shipping it in the city.
The profit of the work assume the shape
of plain facts when n comes tOlook at
them, and it is Il great wonder that so
little IS done at present on so great q
field. AS yet this appears to be one of
the great ~undeveloped interests of our
State. But how the moss business will
be carried on at some day, will probably
astOnish those who see the graceful gray
parasite waving in the winds around
their dWelling-hOuses, and say to them
selves, how graceful it looks. When
the enterprise of this age, which seems
to be- moving in every other place,
comes here, the ornamental will sue
cumb to the useful, as men regard this
air-feeding product; while the long
graybeards of Il live-Oaks and cy-
presses, reversing the usual order, will
turn black, and be shaved off to stuff
chairs and beds in other lands. This
is a business which would give employ
at present, to thousands of poor men.
1t requires no capital beyond that re-
quisite to feed on in getting, while-Once
well started-it will feed the followers
of the moss business, and their wives
and children as we'll. Rich and poor
could, of course, work the business on
their respective scales, but there is
wealth enough in it for all men.
There are objections to the business
on account of the alleged unhealthiness
of the swamps of Louisiana. Nine
months in the year these swamps are as
free from sickness as any portion of the
globe inhabited by man. During the
whole twelve months of the year,
such sWamps as those lying about the
shores of lakes POntchartrain and Maui
repas, the bays and salt lakes of the
southern portion Of the State, (all of
which swamps. are subject to the puri-
flying influence of the tidal overflow
there is no sickness than there is
in the mountains, valleys or seaboards
Of other states. The people living in
such of u sWamps as are subject to
tidal overflow, are as healthy, winter
and summer, as any people on earth.
1t is in these swamps, where the moist
sea breeze feed it, that most of the moss
grows. There it invites all linen to come
in and help themselves. AtsOme future
day, or in coming years, probably, this
business will assume tremendous pro-
portions.

THAT UNFORTUNATE DANBURY Boy.
When boy is in haste to go some
where on his own account is not exactly
the time TO send him elsewhere ON your
account. But q fond Danbury mother
thought different. She wanted her boy
to carry some things down stairs, when
he thought he ought to be out doors
tickling the carman's horse. But he
took the things. He put the mirror un-
der arm and q clock underline other.
Then he took a chair in each hand, and
hung q pail OF dishes around his neck,
and filled his pockets with tumblers, and
started for the stairs. just as he got to
the top to commence the descent, the
mirror slipped, and in an endeayor to
recover It he lost his balance and went
shooting down to the next floor, accom-
panied by all those articles, and making
an earthquake at every bound. Coming
up the stairs at the same time was the
carman. He saw the danger, and had
the presence of mind to shout: "Hey,
you! go back!7 But the boy did not
hear him, apparently, for he kept right
on, and by the earInan, leaving that un-
fortunate man TO follow on his head.
The cries and crash brought the rest of
the family TO the rescue, and the dis
consulate youth was saturated with ar
Mica and tears, contrary to the advice of
the earman, who suggested that he be
driven into the earth with q mallet,

already stated, Co.'S was at Cooper own Della

into hiding at Newark, n. j., where he re-
manned until ten days preceding his arrival in

reel some compassion for the miserable man
who for eighteen months was a nasaeless AMI
homeless fugitive upon the face of the earth
constantly compelled TO seek refuge from the
eyes OF his fellow-heings and living a life worse
than existence within prison. No wonder that
