Literary Treasures OF the German
Language, and what Prof. Comfort
Saws About its study.
Editors Of the Register

Editors Of the Register
The number and value of the works in
every branch of human learning, in the
German exceed by far those in every
other language. The German BELLE
letters literature rivals that of any other
nation. Germany is the home of modern
music and art-crticism. The German
language is therefore studied, both as n
means of education, Of culture and OF en-.
iovment BY the scholars, artists, cduca-
tors. and travellers from all civilized
lands. A knowledge of the language Is
also essential to success in many branch
rs of domestic and foreign industry and
commerce. The German language Is
spoken by about seventy to seventy-hve
millions of people. This is nearly equal
to the English speaking population of
the entire world, and is greater than the
lumber that speak any other Language.
These two, the English-speaking and
the German-speaking branches Of the
Teutonic division of the Indo-EurOpean
norton of the human race, represent
to-day more of the active intellectual,
political, religious, artistic, commercial
and industrial forces of the world than
any other family of the nations of
Europe, or Of the world. If these two
languages in teaching are used coop
eratively, the understanding Of the one
can be rendered more perfectly by IL
knowledge Of the other, and this must be
more particularly the case when these
two most beautiful Of existing languages
are brought together, the mother the
German, and the daughter the English.
The one may be used to define the other
with more advantage than could b" ac-
complished by purely English or Ger
man definition. The pupil, with a litle
perseverance, will soon be able t" read
the German authors, and write with pro-
priety, and his efforts will be crowned
with success. PELL NELL.

IT is thought absurd for man to sit
and wait for trade. Micawbers in bust
ness do not, in fact make large fortunes.
But" say some men, al cannot leave
my store to go about and stir up trade"
Perhaps, indeed, he cannot, but he can
send out his winged messengers of en-
terprise in the shape of such lively advcr-
tisements as::will cause people tostop and
talk with him before buying elsewhere.
Advertisements are good scouts and first
rate skirmishers.

TRIFLISG WITH CoRoNER.-Recent
an excited individual, with his hat stand
ing on two hairs and his eyes projecting
from his head like the horns Of a snail,
rushed into the office of Coroner Holmes.
The coroner is by.professon dentist, and
his first thought as he glanced at the man,
was that he was well nigh distracted with
the toothache. He was soon undeceived,
however, as the frenzied individual cried
out as soon as he could catch his breath af-
ter running up stairs, "Been n man mnr-
dered e.
"a man murdered" cried the coroner
GLOW? Where?"
"In gardng, believe, with club or a
rock"
Glow long agoP" cried the coroner,
seizng his hat and cane.
"Been done a good while, and no police
nor constable hasn't never done nothing
about it. Never been no coroner SET on
his body or pothin' OF the kind no ver-
dict"
"What's the dead III ans name9 Who
was he? cried the coroner.
"Ifis name was Abel"
"Abel? Abel who?"
"Don't know. Never heard nothing but
his first name"
"Well, what i, the name of the man who
killed him Do they knowi Any one
suspected?'

TRAVELLING IN FARMING.-Did any Of
you readers ever think Of the amount of
travel it takes to raise a crop of cornH I
never saw an illustration in print, and l
thought 1 would give you one. I have a
twenty acre field, forty by eighty rods.
To break this up would take one hundred
and sixty-five miles narrowing it, about
forty miles furrowiug out, ninety miles I;
planting, forty-fve miles, if with a plaut-
er and if dropped and then covered, nine
ty miles and for each plowing OF the fur
rows in a row, ninety miles, or five plow-
ings, four hundred and fifty miles. Thus,
you will see it takes about eight or nine
hundred miles of travel to raise twenty
acres of corn, not counting going to and re-
turning from the field. Besides, there is
replanting, thinning, rolling, &c.
