A VERY old but good story has just
been rehearsed in the columns of The
Laaad and Water, by Mr.. w. H. Webb.
In substance it is as follows: DIR. Fother-
gill, an English botanist and physician
of note in the eighteenth century, sue
cessfully treated ship captain who ar
rived at London i'll of yellow fever. The
doctor would take no money for his
services, but requested the captain to
bring him two barrels Of earth from
Borneo. At length the earth was
brought, and the doctor, having burned
the surface of piece of ground very
thoroughly, sprinkled the Borneo earth
upon it. The result was that one hun
dred different sorts of new and curious
plants sprung up. These novelties in
Horticulture, including geraniums, have
since been diff'used throughout the gar
dens of England In these days when
the introduction of new plants is so
sedulously pursued, it is surprising that
the method of DR.. Fothergill has not
been more extensively tried, as COM
munication with tropical regions of
germ-charged soil is infinitely more
frequent now than then.

THE grain annually used in manu-
featuring spirits in the United States is
estimated at 100000 bushels. Eng
land uses SO,OOO,OO0 bushels of grain
annually in the same manufacture, and
imports annually $4O0OO0,O0O worth OF
food. The grain used in the manufac-
ture of liquor in the United States, has
been estimated to be equal to the pro-
duction of 4,20O,0Oo,OO0 pounds OF
bread; but since the grain used is corn,
rye, and barley, neither of them es-
pecially adapted to general use in max
ing bread, it may better be put in this
way. It would make nearly 600, 900, 600
pounds of beef and pork.

What 1t Costs.

Those who commit crime seldom look
at more than one side the balance sheet.
Satan always shows the gilded side of
sin, and that side only, when he tempts
men; and when they are drawn away
by their own lusts, they take into &C
count only the profit they hope to
rive from an evil course. How other
wise could so many intelligent mel.
cover themselves with disgrace and
plunge their families into sea Av
Indebtedness for the doubtful enjoy
ment of ill-gotten gains. We wish
every young man, and every old man
as well, could examine the balance
sheet.
