A Little Composition on the Wheelbar-
row.

If you have occasion to use wheel
barrow, leave it, when you are through
with it, in front of the house with
the handles toward the door. A wheel
barrow is the most complicated thing to
fall over when you would never think
of falling over any thing else; he never
knows when he has got through falling
over it, either; for it will tangle his legs
and arms, turn over with him and rear
up in front of him, and just as he pauses
in his profanity to congratulate himself,
it takes a new turn, and scoops more skin
off of him, and he commences to evolute
anew, and bump himself on fresh places.
A man never ceases to fall over wheel
barrow until it turns completely on its
back, or brings up against something it
cannot upset. 1t is the most inoffensive
looking object there is, but it is more
dangerous than a locomotive, and no
man is secure with one unless he has
a tight hold on its handles, and is sit,
ting down on something. A wheelbar-
row has its uses, without doubt, but in
its leisure moments it is the grea
blighting curse on true dignity.

The Sea of GaliIee.

What the traveller will see when he
catches his first glimpse of the limpid
sheet of water will be q small oval
shaped lake, thirteen miles long and six
broad. It is evidently of volcanic
origin, and the earthquakes which have
rent the walls of Tiberias, as well as
the hot springs of several places in the
vicinity OF the lake, show that volcanic
agencies are still at work All along
the eastern side runs green plain,
which, except at one spot (the probable
scene of the destruction of the swine
after the healing of the Garden de-
moniac, is everywhere about quarter
to a half mile in width. Beyond this
arises, to the height of about 1000
feet, an escarpment of desolate-lOoking
hills, scored by various ravines, and
having a plateau at the top. AS there
are neither trees nor villages to be seen
on that side, and no signs of cultiva-
ton, the view in that direction has a
certain monotony, but this is atoned
for by the air of mystery derived from
its very desolation, and the fact that
even in our Lords time it was so I'M
frequented that He had but to visit it
when He required the refreshment of
solitude. It was of this lovely shore
that we are reminded in the lines of the
beautiful hymn

MastOdon Remains i'm Dearborn County,
Indiana
From the Anroro nnd \ Indenendant

Arohl the aurora (lnd.) Independent.
We published, a few weeks ago, an
account Of Mastodon bones having been
found IN this neighborhood, Washing
ton Township. Only a small portion of
the animal was found Several scien-
tlfic men are now here with a gang of
men and are digging up the lot where
these bones were found. After digging
eight feet down-any place-in this lot,
they came to bones, and upon the con-
sent of Capt. Randall (the owner of the
property,) who is a lover of science,
they have concluded to dig up the
whole lot. Commencing within two
feet of the cistern, where the first bones
were found, they dug a ditch six feet
under to the road, running east an =
west, the distance being about twenty
rods from the cistern to the road. In
this ditch they got out several very
large bones and four grinders. After
getting to the road they commenced
another ditch eight feet wide, throwing
the dirt from this one into the one al
ready made. In this ditch they found
several large teeth, and one tusk meas
ured ten feet long, solid ivory. We do
not know the value of this tusk, but we
suppose it is worth several hundred
dollars. Ditch after ditch has been dug
and still no end to bones. Several car
penters are busy making boxes, and as
fast as the teeth, tusks or bones are
found, they are boxed up. The mud
which contained the bones getting deep
er as they neared the centre of the lot,
led them to believe that a basin had
once been formed there. At the depth
of eighteen feet they found one large
tusk weighing one hundred and seven
pounds.

The Way to Raise Calf Without Milk

Farmers who sell their milk, with some
show of reason declare themselves I'M
able to raise their calves. But they
need not. A calf is a g-suffering
creature and easily adapted to artificial
conditions, and its supply of milk being
cut off a substitute may be found with
which it may be kept in thrifty condi-
ton. For the first four days it is neces'
sary that it should receive the milk,
which is fit for no other purpose, and
has certain medicinal uses for the calf
As soon as this period has passed, it
may be furnished with thesubstitute feed
as follows: Oatmeal, sifted from the
husks, Is boiled into thin cruel, strained
and sweetened with brown sugar, and
fed to the calf; having previously been
taught to drink, the calf will readily
take ration of a quart three times a
day, which may be increased gradually
as it becomes older. Finely-cut clover
hay, the choicest of the early harvest is
mixed with scalded oatmeal, sweetened
and fed in small quantities, gradually
increased. If the bowels become too
loose teaspoonful of prepared chalk is
given as corrective. With this feed
and good care a calf Will thrive and
grow better than on skim milk.

Greece.

The Greeks have deg sadly
since the days of Agesilaus. The peO-
pie are content to live in squalid misery,
plundered alternately by their Govern
ment and the brigands, while the soil
beneath them is rich in mineral treas
ures. But while the natives are eking
out wretched existence on the crops
which they raise from the dust of their
mighty fathers, the descendants of the
Goth and the Frank are improving the
opportunities which the Greek neglects
The mines of Lalrium were discovered
by an Athenian king about fifteen cen
turtles before Christ. They are deposits
of lead, zinc and anthony. They were
successfully worked in the days of
Themistocles, and under Pericles they
attained their maximum development.
In the time of Strabo they were con-
sidered exhausted. As may be imagin-
ed, the surface of the country, which
for so many centuries 10000 slaves
were often excavating at time, presents
one huge mass of scoria and debris
thrown up into mounds, now covered
with soil and heritage, but containing
rich mineral deposits, while beneath
may still be found the excavations of
and italian company was formed for the
purpose of working the mines. They
purchased the property from the village
authorities, and the Greek Government
guaranteed them possession on payment
of about $1,000. The mines yielded q
return far beyond the most sanguine
expectations of the company, and a
town of 5000 inhabitants sprang up on
Il e i Ill 4.
The cupidity of the Greek Cabinet was
excited, and law was passed declaring
the mines Government property, and
claiming 100000 for back rent. The
company have offered to sell the mines
to the Government for 81, $50, 900; but
the Greeks have not accepted the offer,
and still lay claim to the mines. The
company have elaine The protection of
the French and Ital-an Governments,
and it seems not improbable that they
will have it.

Is He Rich 4!

Many sigh is heaved, many heart
is broken, many life is rendered miser-
able by the terrible infatuation which
parents manifests in choosing a life
companion for happiness to result from
the union of two principles so diametri-
cally opposed to each other in every
point as virtue is to vice-and yet how
often is wealth considered a better re-
commedation for young men than virtue?
How often the first question asked re-
specting the sutton of a daughter is this:
els he rich?" Yes, he abounds in
wealth; but does that afford any evidence
that he will make a kind and affetionate
husband? sis he rich?" Yes, his cloth
ing : purple and fine linen, and he fares
sumptuously every day: but can you in
fer from this that he is virtuous? els he
rich?" Yes, he has thousands floating
on every ocean, but do not riches some
times "take to themselves wings and
fly away?,' And you consent that your
daughter will marry a man who has
nothing to commend him but his wealth?
Ah! beware the gilded bait sometimes
covers a barbed hook; ask not, then, els
he RICH" but sis he virtuous?" Ask
not if he has wealth, but has he honor?
And do not sacrifice yonr daughters
peace for money.

The Language of Animals

A very intelligent writer, in speaking
Of the wonderful capacities of dumb
brutes for Intelligent intercommunica-
ton, says:
That animals have a language of their
own, to one another, there can be no
doubt. I know a good deal of their
language myself. know by the voice
of the raven when he has discovered
one of his flock dead know also his
prelude to the storm, and to fine
weather. The moor fowls call one
another from hill to hill. I learned to
to initiate their language SO closely that
1 could have brought scores of them
within range of my shot in the morn
ing. The black cock has a call, too,
which brings all his mates around him,
but the females have no call. They
are a sex of subordinate things, like
the wives of nabob. They dare not
incubate upon the same hill with their
naughty lord. But the partridge and
all mountain birds have language to
each other, and though rather circum-
scribed, it is perfectly understood; and,
as Wordsworth says, "not to be I'M
known" Even the stupid and silly
barn-door hen, when the falcon appears,
can, by a single alarm-note, make all
her chickens hide in moment. Every
hen tells you when she has laid her
egg; and lest it should not be well
enough heard or understood, the cock
exerts the whole power of his lungs in
divulging the important secret. The
black-faced eve, ON the approach of q
fox or dog, utters a whistle through
her nostrils, which alarms her com
rades, and Immediately puts them upon
the lookout. Not one of them will
take another bite until they discover
whence the danger is approaching. II
the dog be with a man, sundry of them
utter a bleat, which I well know, but
cannot describe, and commence feeding
again. If the dog is by himself, they
are more afraid of him than any Other
animal, and then is heard the whistle
repeated through the whole glen.
But the acuteness of the sleeps cal
surpasses all things in nature that
know of. A eve will distinguish hel
own lambs bleat among a thousand,
much louder than the singing of psalms
at q Camaronian sacrament in the
fields, where thousands are congregated
and that is no joke either. Besides
the distinguishment of voice is perfect
ly reciprocal between the eve and the
lamb, who, amid the deafening sounds
run, to meet one another. There are
few things that have ever amused me
more than sheep shearing, and the
sport continues the whole day. We put
the flock into the field, send out The
lambs to hill, and then send out the
ewes to them as they are shorn. The
moment that lamb hears it's dams
voice it rushes from the crowd to NEE
her; but, instead of finding the rough
well clad mamma, which it left an houl
or two ago, 1aeets a poor, naked, shiver
ing, and most deplorable looking
creature. It wheels about, and utter
ing loud, tremulous bleat of perfec
despair, flies from the frightful vision
