TOO POOR TO TAKE ANEwsPAPER.

An anecdote is told of q farmer CO.
ing one day to the Office Of New
York journal and ordering his paper
stopped, because he was too poor to
take it any longer.
Suppose we make a bargain" said
the editor, lin this way. Go home and
select Il hen that shall he called my
hen; sell the eggs that the hen lays
during the year, and send the proceeds
to me as your subscription for the pa

The farmer was pleased at so easy
a way to pay for his paper, and readily
consented. The result was, that DUR
ing the year the hen paid for the paper
twice its regular price of subscription.
This is by no means pure fiction,

How often do we hear young men
speak III their father and mother as
the cold man" and the cold woman"
Shame on You, young men, To speak
thus Of Your honorcd parents, who
have in their breasts love for YOU
which no others can feel: who would
brave their lives FIR you and give their
last dollar t. save y"n from disgrace:
and yet yon speak If them as the "oId
man" and the .nld wnrnan," instead of
giving them the honorcd title of father
and mother As a general thing when
one speaks uf the old man or woman,
it is only Of those who have never liv-
ell life Of usefulness, nor never by
nature bnrc the noble name of father
or mother. When We hear 4 young
man speak If his parents in this way.
We generally find him to bc a fast young
man. who is unto himself law Sutfi-
cicnt. and who gives his parents much
trouble and pain, and who. sooner or
later, brings them in sorrow to the
grave My advice to young womcnis
Ia discard 4 young man who speaks OF
his parents in this disrcspcctful way,
for he who has no respect for father or
mother will have bnt little for wife.
"For young man according to his
ways even when he is old he will not
depart from it, and it gives us pain to
hear young people speak 50 lightly Of
their parents.

The English newspapers are at hand

being mostly seasick, would not allow

FORESTS AND RAIN.-The much
discussed question of the influence Of
forests upon rainfall has lately been
made the subject Of very interesting
observations by Fautrat and Sartiaux
in France. Instruments for deter
mining the amount Of rainfall. de
gree of saturation OF air (by moisture,
evaporation, and temperature, were
placed at an elevation of about six
meters (lS!) feet above the tops OF
trees-oak and beech in the midst
of forest covering 5000 hectares
12,3 ,35C acres). At the same eleva-
ton. fourteen or fifteen meters above
TIE surface of an adjoining portion of
cleared aud cultivated lana, aud ut a
distance 300 meters (98I feet from
the edge of the forest, similar instru-
ments were placed, and simultaneous
daily observations made. The first
rerort of these, from February to
july, 1874, inclusive, showed, for the
period of six month";, a total r. in tal
over the forest Of 1925 millineters
C7i inches, while that over the open
ground was only III millimeters.
The average for each Of the six
months was larger over the forest
than the cleared land. The same
was true of the degree of saturation
Of the atmosphere the monthly av.
erage in the one case being 65 per
cent, and in the other 61,7 per cent.
The authors conclude that if the
daily observations in the future ac-
cord with those already made, it may
be regarded as demonstrated that
forests form vast apparatus for con
densation Of moisture, and that there
is more rain upon them than upon
land. .-EDrToR's SCIENTIFIC RECORD,

And should be his hearts desire;
That he should love me, fond and true,

That l. In time, should be his wife,

The BLACK Hu.Ls.-It seems as if
there is not as much gold in the
Black Hills country as was anticipated
by our impatient adventures who
are anxious to drive out the Indians
from their reservations and grow
rich in month or so. Mr.. Jenney,
the geologist of the exploring expedi-
ton, reports that the gold is thinly
scattered, and that no one has obtain
ed more than few cents worth Of
gold dust after a few hours hard Ia
Dor. Even the newsboys do better
than that, and blacking boots on
Broadway would seem to be more
remunerative occupation than wash
in out gold in the gulches Of the
Black Hills. Our correspondence
from this country will be found full
of interest and value, as showing
that the unexplored and coveted is
not such an FL Dorado after all. Our
people car do no better than to re-
main at home. If they want gold
they have only to dig for it here, and
the return will be as certain AMI
much more pleasant in the find
ing than by long dangerous and un-
certain trip to the Black Hills.

A NARROWING SfGHT.-A most
ghastly sight was presented yester-
afternoon in the squalid tenement
house No. $50 Third street. Fred
rick Ackerman, living at the place,
committed suicide by shooting him.
self with a musket. About two
O'clock the people of the neighbor-
hood were startled BY the report of
gun coming from a small room in the
rear of the house, and on going to the
house to ascertain the cause found
Ackerman's body reclining against
a door leading to an adjoining room.
The head was entirely gone, and
brains, pieces of bone and flesh lay
scattered all over the apartment.
The unfortunate man had taken an
old army musket, loaded it with a
quadruple charge of powder and two
leaden bullets, placed the muzzle in
his mouth and with.his toes pulled
the trigger. He was sitting at the
time on a pillow and was leaning
against the door above alluded TO.
Nothing whatever was left of his
head save portion Of the lower jaw.
Part of the skull was driven entirely
through the door, the nose and upper
lip we're found on the bed at dis
tance of six or eight feet from the
body, and a handful of brains lay on
the floor beside the body in as per-
feet state as though they had been
taken out by the most skillful sur
geon. Portions of the skull and
scalp were found in every part of
the room, and an ear hung suspend
ed from a nail in the wall over the
bed. The charge with which the
gun had been loaded was so great
that the stock was broken off and
the hammer recocked by the eXplo-
sion. The right hand was also ter
ribly lacerated by the action of the
gun in recoiling.
Ackerman has been a hard drinker
for the last three years and has sever
al times had the delirium tremcns.
1t is supposed that he committed the
act of self destruction while laboring
under one of these attacks. He
leaves a wife and four children, the
eldest seventeen and the youngest
three years of age. Coroner Volt
man visited the scene about five
o'clock in the afternoon, and, assisted
by Deputy Coroner, DR.. Cushman,
held an inquest. The verdict was
death by suicide, induced by pro-
longed intemperance."
