The Product of one Weed.
Desiring to know what might b

Desiring to know what might be
the influence Of q single weed upon
the agriculture of a field or garden,
/ selected plant of purslane (pus-
ley or pursley) and carefully counted
its number of pods. 1t was large,
but not the largest sized plant, from
rich spot of ground. The number
of its seed pods was 4,613. l then
took fourteen Of the pods, seven
small ones, four medium, and three
of the largest, and counted the seed
in them. The result gave as an av-
erage ninety seeds to the pod. Thus
in this single plant we have the enor-
nous number of 415,17O seeds. If
these were spread over a plot of
ground and should all terminate.
and a man should attempt to cut
them with a hoe, and should average
six plants at every blow, and make
thirty strokes OF his hoe per minute,
it would take him thirty-eight hours
and twenty-three minutes to cut
them ont. Or, if these seeds were
equally disseminated at the rate of
four to the square foot, they would
cover over two and third acres of
ground. Again. allowing only one
third Of these seeds to terminate,
and that the product shall only be
one half as rich in seed as this plant
yet they will produce the astonishing
number of %, 727,6 $50 seeds,
enough to cover broad fields with
weeds the third year. from one seed.
Do not these figures show the i'm
mense Importance of cutting and
destroying every weed before it goes
to seed? There is no doubt that
many other weeds are sas fully or
more prolific than this The purs-
lane is a difficult weed to kill. I
have known it in wet weather to
grow and mature its seed long after
it had been entirely severed from
the root.-Cor. Journal Of Agricul-

Cutting Out.

There is boy who thinks he was
not "cut ont for a farmer Well.
there is something in cutting out,
but great deal more in making up.
Ask the tailor if it is not in the pow
er of careless, clumsy workingman
to spoil the most skillful cutting
Some men are specially fitted for
some special work, as we're the great
masters of art; and the Lord never
wastes material by giving all the
same gifts since there is an endless
variety Of work to be done in the
world. The marble must he hewn
from the quarry and the iron track
laid over the valley and mountain,
before the sculptor can give lasting
shape to his beautiful imaging, or
the inventor bringing into play the
work of his genius.
And one kind of work may be
just as honorable as the other. AS
a general thing our work comes to
us without seeking, and bccau,e we
do not quite fancy it, or think we
should like better to do something
else, is by no means certain that we
are in the wrong place. 1t is all
right to try to find work that does
please us, since it is what we shall
be likely to do best, but never fancy
that you are go poorly cut out that
you cannot do we'll and honorably
any honest work that is plainly laid
upon you. 1t is not so much what
you do as how you do it, and scarce
ly one will tell you that he is doing
what he fancied, when be was q boy,
he should do. AS for my farmer
boy, am afraid he does not quite
understand how much may 60 into
the making Of a good farm; for if
you will notice, you will find people
always think they are cut out for lar
ger places and not smaller. There
is a good deal Of hard work in farm
ing, and boys sometimes get tired Of
the nonotonous parts that fall to
their share; but work is work the
world over, and nothing gives so
great q variety as the farm.
When boys grow older and learn
how much science and art and phi
losophy, have done for the farmer,
what room there is for intelligent
thought, for careful experiment, for
skiIIful labor; he may change his
mind and conclude that farmer
ought to he cut out mentally rs well

IT would seem that the jury question
was about to come to an issue in Germany.
Bayard Taylor, in one Of his letters, ex-
plains that there are two forms of the jury
system in use, the SchofFengericht and
Schwurgericht. The latter corresponds
with our system, but the former is peculiar
to Germany and German-Swtzerland.
1t reserves all questions, both Of fact and
law, to Judges aud jurors, who meet to-
gether and return common verdict. The
judges are generally three in number, and
the Jurors not more than SIN. In the draft
for the criminal code, which has been sub
mitted to the Imperial Parliament, the
preference is given to the Scholfengericht.
The people, as whole, are opposed to the
jury system altogether, upon the ground
that it is French importation. The
advocates of The system have, therefore,
very shrewdly sought to show that it was
originally the creation of Fatherland, that
it then Travelled to England and France and
afterward came back to Germany, where il
was completely developed.

THE Mississippi papers contain the an
nouncement that Colonel McComb, Of
Credit Mobilier fame, las commenced ope-
rations of similar character on his own
account in that part of the country. The
name of the Vicksburg. Ship Island and
Pensacola railroad has been changed to
that of the Mississippi Valley and Ship
Island railroad, and is to have terminus
at McComb City, which is thus to be built
up INTO 1ourishing community. AS a
matter of course, there is construction
company, called the Mississippi Valley
improvement company, which is to COM
mence OPP eratons, it is said, by means of
money from school fund, known as the
Chickasaw school fund. This was once
lost to the state by the folly of the legis-
laturc, but has since been recovered by
the courts, and is now voted away, or
proposed to be voted away, for the benefit
Of the construction company aforesaid.

OHIO is unfortunate either in her judges
or in her laws. The Supreme Court of
the state has just decided that the school
boards can exclude the Bible from the pub
lie schools, if they choose, and now Judge
Green, of Columbus, has decided that the
laws for the observance Of Sunday, in that
state, do not apply to those who conscien-
tiously observe Saturday as the Sabbath !;
and that city and town ordinances pro-
hibiting the sale of liquors on Sunday are
void, which do not exempt from their OPP
erations those who sell TO travellers or who
conscientiously observe the seventh day Of
of the week as the Sabbath.

In THE South and extreme West the
papers have been complaining for some
time Of too much rain, while in Eastern
Ohio, Pennsylvania and throughout the
Middle States and New England, generally,
the complaint for weeks past has been of
drouth, parched fields and dusty roads.
The rains of Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday last, however, extended over all
the parchOd and suffering regions of the
country, and the rejocings over them are
general and hearty. The corn and pota-
toes have thus been saved from extinction,
and although in some sections the hay crop
is cut lamentably short, that valuable pro-
duct is sufficiently abundant in other sec
tons to make up the deficiency.

THE long-pending conflict between the
Erie railway and the post-office depart
ment has just been settled, and the depart
ment has effected a compromise with the
road for the mail pay for the term ending
June 80, when the new code takes effect.
The returns from the weighing Of mails
show that the Erie road carries 81 900
pounds of mail matter daily. This is the
largest amount of mail matter transported
over any railroad, with the exception of the
Pennsylvania Central. The Postmaster
General expects that the weight of the
mails will hereafter be materially reduced
by the abolition of the frankng privilege.
