VITALITY or SEEDS.

Among the botonical notes in the Natur-
alist, there are some interesting facts bear
ing upon the question Of the vitality Of seeds
The authority for the data is Prof. Ernst,
of Caracas who relates that. in 1867, the
market occupying the Plaza Bolivar was re-
moved by order Of the government, and the
ground devoted to the purposes Of pack.
To carry ont the plan, 6 feet Of the soil was
taken of, leaving a fresh surface exposed to
the air Numbers Of weeds Immediately
sprang from this uncovered layer Of earth.
among which were innunerable plants Of
the BrofroE trimeovta . species growing
only in locality south Of the piazza, whence
il was judged impossible that seeds could be
borne to the spot where they had so quickly
the seeds of these plants had remained DOR
mant for thirty years under the old market,
and that on being subjected to moisture,
warmth, and atmosphere, they revealed their
unimpaired vitality.
The second case in point fell under the
notice of the same observer. During a
twelve years study Of the fora in the re
gion round about Caracas, Prof. Ernst had
not once met with the Shepherds Purse
(Capsella bursa- pas,ori-l. But Two year.
ago. portion Of the garden Of the noaas
terry was graded for the erection cf a new
building. By SO doing, considerable
depth Of soil was removed. and in the iens'
growth Of weeds that very soon covered tn
fresh surface. there were thousands Of spec
linens Of the Sheperds, Purse. Prof. Erns
concludes that the seeds Of thes. plants had
remained latent in the soil for an unknown
period.

The occurrence Of the legends in the Assyr.
ian records gives evidence, according to
their translation, that they were believed
by the Babylonians during the period from
B. C. 1000 to 1900.
In printing these legends exactly as he
has read them from the tablets, line for line
and word for word, with all chasms and de-
fects plainly indicated. Mr.. Smith has
treated his subject with perfect candor. OF
course, his translation is to be accepted; but
it is left to his readers to put that interpre-
tation upon the version which best accords
with their own judgment. Sometimes the
significance given by the author to an OBJ
scure and broken reading seems r-fetched
still, the legends, as they stand, are Of ex-
ceeding interest, and viii be attentively
studied by scholars and theologians.

DIG FORT AT HOME,

Would you have the shining metal
DO lot Ger the wide world roam,
Following a tleeting phanthom-
Stay and dig for it at home.
Do not heed the luring story
Treasures distant hillsides hold,
Ten adventures, disappointed,
Sand for every ounce OF gold
Wishing still for something better,
Many iancics youth will rear;
Mountains of the yellow mica
In the distance gold appear.
And the longing is contagious,
Drinking from leaden cup.
For the means OF grander living,
On the highways to pick it up.
But Dune Fortune is ZOO tickle
In her train afar to roam;
Would YOU win her golden treasure,
Stay and dig for il at home.
In the land that lies before you
Find your wealth by honest toll;
Never votary disappointed.
Rightly sought the generous soil.
Only lalll, weak hearts TepiulllS
Cast away the goot at hand
Fortunes smile will rarely crown them !,
Sought for in distant land.
But success ri DIES on before you,
Grapple it and you will win;
Lol e'ell now the nists are rifting,
And the tides are rushing in.
af no foreign eypeditlon
Lure yonr restless steps to roam;
Gold is nearer than the mountain
Stay and dig for it at home.
