WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT's summer
residence was at the home of his boy
hood, in Cummington among the hills
of western Massachusetts,. The farm is
rough, and the house stands on what is
called lions Hill Some of the land
has been made fertileAy draining and en-
riching. Mr.. Bryan bought the place
about twelve years ago, and partly re-
built the old house, which is two stories
in height, painted brown, and has a
dormered roof. He spent several months
of every fall and summer there, and his
daughters lived with him or in the
neighborhood. He usually walked sew
eral miles to church every Sunday, and
invariably slept through the sermon.
A writer in the Springfield Republican
says: " He lived almost out of doors,
caring little for the weather, and ready
with an ak or pruning knife or anything
that gave hearty exercise. At seventy
five he could leap into the air, catch a
bough, and swing himself along by it
ike very boy, and we p resume he
could even later than that. Any one
driving or walking in that vicinity was
liable to spy the poet in the woods or in
the field under broad-brimmed straw
hat, his great snowy beard and slender
figure attracting the eye among any
number of other men; and his intense
why way of walking, as if it was no
effort at all, but something purely me-
chanical, was very peculiar"

thirty-two minutes out of the days
work for actual blowing.

Grains Of Gold.

A nod from lord is breakfast for
fool.
Nothing overcomes passion sooner than
silence.
Many take less care of conscience than
of reputation.
Kindness to a shivering beggar is a
profession of religion.
True beauty increases, while false
lessons, on examination.
Liberality consists less in giving much
than in giving wisely.
He who seems not to himself more
than he is, is more than he seems.
No person can stoop so low as those
who are over-anxious to rise.
We know ourselves through the con-
slant study how to govern ourselves.
Vice is sometimes more courageous
than virtue, because it has less to lose.
Who cannot keep his own secret ought
not to complain if another tells it.
Some use their wits as braves their
stiletros, not for defense, but mischief.
Immoderate pleasures shorten the exist
ence more than any remedies prolong it.
The laws of civility oblige us to COM
mend what, in civility, we cannot
blame.
independence in thought and action il
luxury which is far beyond the reach
of poor folks.
There is modesty in pure desires
after excellence which afiectation car
never counterfeit.
The mind is like trunk; if vel
packed, it holds almost everything; il
| i'll packed, next to nothing.
Whims are harder to remove than sor
rows, for time, instead Of weakening
them, only strengthens.
That only can with propriety b.
styled refinement which, by strengthen
ing the intellect, purifies the manners
| He that INDUCES negligence will
quickly become ignorant Of his ow
affairs, and he that trusts without II
serve will at last be deceived.

A PARTY of scientists while attempt
ing to ascertain the depth of famous
pond called Halster's Sink, few miles
back from New Madrid, Mo-, recently,
learned to their surprise that something
had become attached to the sounding
line, and, on hauling in, they were as
tonished and Mortified by seeing a
CHASTITY skeleton appear, which held in
one of its hands box containing
twenty pounds Of dynamite. After be-
ing brought to the surface and taken
ashore, the men investigated the matter
thoroughly and used the skeleton SO
roughly that its joints parted. A great
many people in New Madrid now firmly
believe that the great earthquake was
caused by dynamite fiend.

MAX ALLISON, a farmer near Mount
Vernon, while out hunting, recently,
came upon huge bird, something like
an eagle in appearance, but whose feet
were elongated to an enormous extent,
measuring twenty-three inches in length,
while the birds wings when spread out
measured fifteen feet. The huge speci-
men of the genus avis, instead of fee
ing at the approach of the hunter,
plumed its pinions and rushed eagerly
forward. The hunter, having no time
to fire, dubbed his gun, and with few
well directed blows stretched the bird
dead upon the ground. 1t was truly a
rara avis, for when it was examined a
clear white pebble was found in one of
its eyes.

The difficulty of providing horses
with forage in war has set the ingenious
to work in endeavoring to compound a
C ndensed horse biscuit, and Col. Ra-
velli, an Italian officer, seems to have
been very successful in this respect. By
direction of the Minister of War, very
careful experiments have lately been
made with cavalry horses, and COM
mission report that not only when the
biscuit is administered with proper care
is it consumed with appetite and easily
digested, but that the horses fed upon
it actually increased in vigor. There is
really nothing new in this, for three
centuries ago horses in England were
often fed in the same way.

DIR. HUILLET, late of Pondicherry !,
undertakes to show that vaccination was
known to a certain Dahnwantori, who
fourished several thousand years before
Hippocrates. DR.. Huillet arrived at
this conclusion from the contents of GER
tain Hindoo manuscripts preserved at
Pondicherry, in which are described the
effects produced by inoculating the hui
man subject with the matter taken from
a man or COW. The secondary disease
is described as identical in appearance
with it's source, with this difference, that
it is quite harmless.

GEORGE BoNHAM, of Cambridge.
Mass, is one hundred and forty years
old. He claims to have been George
Washington's school-teacher, and says
George wasn't any better than any of
the rest of the boys. He would steal
eggs and suck them, rob orchards, and
lick his school-teacher. The Ratchet
story is true, probably, so far as the
cherry-tree cutting is concerned, but the
truth-telling part of that yarn begins to
fade away in the dim perspective of
legendary lore.

THEY have a musical mountain in
Delaware County, Indiana. By
stamping your foot upon the ground,
it sounds like three or four hogs wal
lowing in mud-puddle ten or twelve
feet away" Such is the thrilling de-
scription of a poetical correspondent
located in that quarter. Prof. Cox, the
distinguished scientist, is unable to ac-
count for the Orphean whispers.

The comparative time lost in turning
at the ends of long and short burrows,
in blowing long or short fields, may be
seen from the following calculation:
With length of furrow measuring two
hundred and thirty feet, and breadth
of ten inches, in days work of ten
hours, the time lost by team in turn
ing would equal five hours and eleven
minutes, while but four hours and forty
nine minutes would be devoted to plow-
ing; with length of furrow of four
hundred and forty-nine feet, two hours

A STORY is "going the rounds " that
J. Wilkes Booth and Robert Lincoln,
son of Abraham, were in love with the
same young lady. Robert pressed his
suit with great ardor; he had the father
and mother of the lady and the Gov
eminent on his side. Booth was furi-
ously jealous, and SO he killed the Presi-
dent. 1t seems to us that, for jealous
person, he killed the wrong man.
