all, and when itshad been open only four
months there were 206 boarders and 1OO
day-scholars. all Arabs or slaves. They
discard the Oriental vail, and are dressed
in frocks, pinafores, and shoes. in English
fashion; and they sit, not squatting on the
ground, but at desks. They must find life
rather irksome and b;trblrous when they
return home.

A POETS PROSPERITY.

Bryant has made more money than any
poet that ever lived. 1t has, however, not
been the product of his Muse but of his
newspaper. To this is to be added the
fact that he is of simple habits, and cannot
but be moderate in general expenses. He
is estimated to be worth from 100000 up
to 5000 900, which is certainly doing very
well. No other editor except Bennett has
exceeded this sum, or even equaled it,
while, as for poets, which Of this gifted clan
ever dreamed of such successes ? Bryant,
indeed, reminds us Tin this poiat at least)
of what jeffrey said OF Byron in his eritiqne
''He never lived in IL garet like thorough
bred poets But wealth never inflated
his vanity. Iteamc rs the et.tnings OF a
great journal. and was never used for

Principles Of Good Farming.

The better to retain important facts
in the memory, 1 am ever fond of re-
ducing the principles ofgood farming to
brief maxims and rules, compress
ing into single short sentence the
gist of many a page Thus, I carry
about the mental pabulum to be digest
at handle of the plow. The following
are some of these principles: '' '''
l. The farmer who would succeed
well, and derive pleasure as we'll as
profit fIom his calling, must manifest
an active and abiding interest in his
vocation. 1t takes heart work to make
hand-work pleasant.
g The farmer must study how best
to increase and maintain fertility to his
soil. There is no inertia in agriculture.
There must be progress, either forward
or retrograde. --.rs,'
8. The farmer must strive to increase
the quality as well the quantity of his
crop. It's the quality that determines
the price. In this, Excelsior should
be his unvarrying motto. y. .ga
1. The farmer must seek with watch
full eyes toimprove his market facilities.
1t is transportation that eats up all the
profit. . -..-. ..-s ss.
5. Tie art OF raising better stock is
not as well known AS it should be. Keep
no more animals than you have the IA
cilities to feed and care for well. ..-....
&. The farmer must seek to improve his
social, intellectual and financial condi-
ton. ... ...

4 CRY WITH sIEv,E-Ps sAvED STREETS.

early days, ,.and being coated with rich ore
that has been year after year siftcd down
upon them from the ore wagons, are now
everywhere more or less argentiferous. In
deed there is not the slightest stretch OF
imagination in saying that We never take
a stepin the town but we are walking on
silver-that our streets are literally paved
with silver While speaking of this fact
day or two since, y young man bet his
friend the price of the ass.yipg and cigars"
that he woull take A lump OF mud Oft the
wheel Of q bus, the standing before them,
and would get out oft precious metals to
the value OF over s. per ton. An ounce or
two of mud was t4l>cn from the wheel OF
the vehicle and placed in the hands Of al
assayer, who was not toll where the sample
was obtained, and wh0no doubt supposed
that he was dealing with dacomposed ore
vein matter from one Of our mines. The
assay was made, and the assayer's eertiuh-
cate showed that the sample contained !:
"Silyer, s7.54,. gold, $2,.32; total $9.S6."
After this we may put on airs, even though
our streets are viliaiaously muddy occa-
sionally, for the very mud on our boots
contains 10th silver ana goGl-is not the
vulgar mud Of the "eow country" towns.

he does them. Here is an extract from
his famous theological work:
"Search the records of the. whole
world, find out the history Of every bar
borous tribe, and you can find no crime
that touched lower depth Of infamy
than those the Bible God commanded
and approved For such a God have
no weeds to express my loathing and
all the words in all the languages Of

Away with such God. :" ''''' Nv

STRANGE STORY OF FORGOTTEN
.a WEALTH.


A remarkable instance of lapse of lnem-
cry was related at Dartmouth (Eng.) q
short time ago. A bed-ridden old woman
who had long been in receipt of outdoor
relief, had lived in an extremely INDECENT
and miserable condition, paying only Cd.
a week for the attendance OF woman to
wait on her. This woman had the curl
osity to unlock and search a box in the
old woman room, and there found bag
containing hundred sovereigns. A gem
tleman who had befriended the invalid was
called in, and she declared her utter for
getfulness that any money was i'll her
room. The relieving officer, however, has
laid claim to the hoard Of gold with view
to the repayment to the guardians Of the
sum expended on the old woman's main
tenanee. She formerly kept cider
shop. 4ss@ }'ts s4+ r - yS
