added he, sand when the Venera-
BILE goes down, my flag will still
fly" And you observe this is no
naked Viking in prehistoric pc
Rod; but a Scotch member of par
lament with a smattering of the
classics, telescope, a cooked hat
of great size, and flannel under
clothing. In the same spirit, Mel
son went into Aboukir with six
colors flying, so that even if five
were shot away it should not be
imagined that he had struck. He,
too, must needs wear his four stars
outside his admiral's frock, to be a
butt for sharpshooters. "In honor

adding, with sublime illogicality,
Sin honor l will die with them"
Captain Douglas, of the Royal Oak,
when tbe.Dutch fired his vessel in
the Thames, sent his men ashore,
but was burned along with her him
self rather than desert his post
without orders. Just then, per-
haps, the merry monarch was
chasing a moth round the supper
table with the ladies of the court.
When Raleigh sailed into Cadiz,
and all the ships opened fire on him
at once, he scorned to shoot gun,
and made answer with a flourish of
insulting trumpets. / like this
brayado better than the wlsest dis
positions TO oinsure victory; it comes
from the heart and goes to it. God
has made nobler heroes, but he
never made a finer gentleman than
Walter Raleigh. And as our admi-
rails were full of heroic superstitious,
and had a strutting and vainglorioua
style Of fight, 80 they discovered a
startling eagerness for battle, and
courted war like a mistress. When
the news came to Essex, before
Oadiz, that the attack had boen de-
cided, he threw his hat into the sea.
1t is in this way that a school-boy
hears Of a half holiday; but this
was a bearded man, of great poses

to risk his life. Benbow could moi

fight. / said they loved war like

Fan wheat.


At last we believe our farmers have found
the true remedy for hard times, and It Is
nothing more nor less than paying particular
attention to the raising of fan wheat. Here
tofore great many have let our beautiful
autumns glide away without putting in one
grain Of wheat, putting all their trust IN a
spring crop. This makes their next-year's
income mere matter of chance, as every
thing depends upon the weather in the
spring. For the last few years ouf springs
have been any thing but what our farmers
wished them to be, and only high lands have
produced anything like a fair crop Of spring
wheat. That which was late sown was
struck with The rust, and great deal, of it
was so poor that it was never cut, while the
fan grain, although it does not yield so well
as good crop of spring grain, always gives
good return and never fails Our farmers
now look at the, matter in this way and
during the present fan have pnt Ia fully Eve
times as much wheat as ever before, and in
consequence we think it probable we win
have larger grain yield, and consequently
more money, in this county next year than
we have known for long time. Let good
times come i they will; we WiII7bo the Last
to run from them. ~ - -s -
