A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR DAuGH.
TER.-On certain day, on o Penns
sylvania railroad, belle OF thriving
Pennsylvania town, the daughter of q
wealthy lumber merchant, was trave.
ling in the same car with shrewd
old citizen of her native town and an
agreeable gentleman from the West
who tells the story. The latter had
been talking to the belle, but as the
night drew on and the young lady
grew drowsy, he gave up his seat to
her and placed himself beside the
somewhat cynical Pennsylvanian. The
latter began conversation by pointing
to high mountain, past which they
were whirling, and said
"You see that mountain? Six or
eight years ago it was covered with
as fine a forest as ever grew, and
worth $4,000 and upward. Now,
without a tree, covered with stumps,
the land is scarcely worth a conti>
mental. The net produce Of that
mountain lies over there in that seat"
and he pointed to the recumbent
belle; that is my calculation. Ithas
inst absorbed all Of that lumber which
her father owned to Eaisss.. aI.:s5: A .

The Noon AS A FARMER.-A farm
er tells US that fully one half OF the
tillers of the soil in this country be-
lIeve in the good and bad influences
Of the moon in the development Of
vegetation, and year after year they
follow the directions that have come
down TO us from far. off generations
of men. The same remark will hold
good for agricultural communities
the world over. Products that fruit
under ground, as potatoes, turnip5,
&c, are duly planted in the dark of
the moon. The same rule holds,
they say, in the setting of fence>posts
and the laying Of shingles if set in
the dark of the moon posts will last
longer, and shingles will not curl up,
as they say they will do if laid in the
light Of the moon. Glitch your
wagon to a STAR" is a trancendental
sentence of Emerson's. Agricultu.
rists do not so so far as that-at least
we never saw wagon thus "hitched'
horses, mules, oxen, steers, COWS,
heilers, &c, belBg the usual motors:
but half the agricultural world seem
to take more stock in astrology than
chemistry. They claim that there is
a grea deal in the moon theory. 1t
is furthermore claimed that moonlight
rapidly deteriates meats and fish ex-
posed 10 the beams OF Luna.

Harper. Horace Greely, Bayard lay
lor, Charles Dickens, Their, Jerrold,
George d. Pre- iiss, and Senators
Dix, Cameron, and Niles They too,
were printers. What was Benjamin
Franklin ? He also was a printer.
And last, though not least who is
james Buchanan, who occupied the
most enviable position on earth ?
Only a printer. Every one cannot be

interests, the general interests of the island
and its population, before Government shall
have lost any opportunity of Interference. "
He also says that a vast deal has been said
and written on the influence of trees, without
calculating the subject by reasoning founded
on clear and precise experience and, there
fore, we must be thankful to any one who
can furnish US with such downright facts as
may enable us to draw our WI conclusions.
Let the Scottish Arborioultural Society take
this hint, and set to work at once.
Now a.days, If q party creates what Is
called q misunderstanding the health of
others or that Of his crops, the law provides
q remedy, but in this more important matter,
where a quarter of q century or more must
elapse before on over-clearance Of wood can
be remedied, no immediate action can be
taken. Let US take warning from the dear
bought experience of other nations. But it
is only an individual nations interest. The
undue clearing, or preservation, of the forests
of one country concerns that of another, as,
being directly connected with the production
of rain, any disturbance in the one must affect
the other. Climate concerns the whole COM
munity, and its prohibition from injury is one
Of the duties of Government. There are
especial avs in France and Germany against
the over-cIearing of forests, and compulsory
directions as to replanting. Why, then, the
Indifference in this country
There are various other aspects of the ques-
ton equally interesting and important to those
l have dealt with. Enough has, however,
let me humbly hope, been said, to show the
immense importance of the subject.
l know Of few things of the present day so
deserving the attention of political economists
as the present extent and distribution of wood
over o country. 1t is plainly the duty of Gov
eminent to take this question in hand, and it
is, think, equally evident that it is one of the
duties of the Society to agitate for scientific
inquiry on the subject.
