lie safely while he is weak and helpless.
Then he goes without food until he is
very thin, and bis clothes hang about him,
as we say In this state new shell, soft
and elastic, forms about his body. Then
the crao struggles and splits his old she'll,
and pulls his long legs out of his boots.
When he has got safely over this strange
process the crab increases rapidly in size,
and his new suit becomes in few days
as hard as his former one.
Here is a star-fsn, or astoria, often
called the e-fnger It's mouth, you
see, is in the middle of the under side,
and it is great devourer of small she'll
fish. It is considered so destructive to
oysters, that by old laws, every man was
liable to be punished who did not kill
the five-tinger when he saw it.
And what is this mass of iellv? It is
creature called the medusa, or sea-nett.e.
It has received its latter name because it
makes your skin smart when you touch
it. While the medusa is floating, many
tentaclcs or nets may be seen hanging
from its underside. With these it catches
food. If you Jake medusa alive, you
will find it impossible to hold it in your
fingers. 1t will divide into parts and
fall a shapeless mass. Sometimes these
strange animals may be seen below a
shipkeel, glowing like white-hot can
non balls.
Perhaps the most wonderful creatures
of all, it we consider their works, are
the Polypi. These animals are of soft,
jelly-like substance, sometimes shaped
like bell or pill-box. The sea-ane-
mones, as they are called, belong to this
class Round an opening or mouth in
the upper side are arranged number of
arms, like the petals of daisy, by means
OF which the creature seizes his prey.
The prey is sometimes quite as large as
the polypi itself, but it is sucked into the
interior and there destroyed; the shell,
If there is one, being vomited forth after
wards. This animal flower is fixed on
rock, along which it can slowly crawl
The polypi form the substances called
coral and madrepere; By their means
immense reefs of solid rock, which stem
the mighty waves and form large islands
are raised in mid ocean.
One of the most useful treasures of the
sea is the sponge. 1t is believed to be
an animal, but the lowest OF all animals
Ne feelings have ever yet been discover
ed in the sponge, though it has been
pinched and tortured with red-hot irons.
1t is pierced in all directions by canals,
out of which opening streams of water
are being constantly discharged. 1t is
supposed the creature sucks the water in

How to Manage a Watch.

Always wind upa watch at the same
time every day, and be very careful that
no dirtis contained in the barrel of the
key, and that it is in good order, A
watch should be continually in the same
position, and when carried in the pocket
by day should always be hung up at night.
When you regulate watch, as you move
the regulator towards the parts marked
FAST or SLOW" take care that you do
not move it to much at time; it is bet
ter to move it a little every day, until
the watch does right, than to move it to
much at nee. Also be careful that no
dirt is contain ed in your watch pocket,
otherwise it may gain admission into the
inside of the watch and impair its action.
1t IS advisable, when wearing watch, to
keep 1t in a soft wash-leather bag, made
for the nurpose, by which means the watch
is prevented trom being scratched or in
jured by friction against the rough lining
of the pocket. When the key-holes for
winding and setting watch are situated
at the back of the case, never open the
front since by SO doing you may not only
admit d 1T and moisture, but also may dis
lodge the glass, and perhaps break it.
If yoar watch is chronometer or has a
duplex movement, when setting it to the
correct time, always remember to move
the hands forwards and never backwards.
Althoug this is not Of so much import
ance in watches of other construction, vet
it is advisable to do it in all cases. Last
ly, care should be taken to keep watch
as nearly as possibla at the same temper
allure, otherwise it will not keep correct
time.

THE SAGE OF MONTICELLO.

From, the staunton Valley virgtnian, July, 10.
{; On the table before us lies bundle of
old manuscripts, yellow, quaint, and curl
Gus, but still a model of neat penmanship,
plain, leglble, and of faultless regularity
AS the record of an age dead and gone
they are Of interest, but their chief inter-
est is in the fact that they were penned
by the same hand that over hundred
years ago traced the first outlines Of the
grandest of human institutions, Repub-
lie based upon the free and equal po!iti-
cal rights Of all men. They are letters of
Thomas Jefferson written to John Homes
Freeman, his superintendent at Monti-
cello, and are models of neatness and
conciseness. At the time Jefferson was
President of the United States, but amid
the multitudinous duties of the office
found leisure to attend to the minutest
details pertaining to Monticello.
The first of these papers is a memoran-
dunn for Mr.. Freeman, embracing de-
tailed statement of the work to be pre-
pared during the year. in commencing,
he directs that eight negro men shall be
hired, and after mentioning the purchase
OF large quantity of corn, says ''The
canal and dam are to be completed in
preference to ali other Worthwhile the
season admits" He gives the length and
breadth of road to be built, and esti-
mates that the work can be done by ff-
teen hands in fortnight; next fence is
to be built, and the next job is to level
the garden. "Mr. Randolph will show
the method of doing it. The garden is
to be 1000 feet long and eighty feet wide.
From observations on the small part done,
l judge it to be about three months work
for ten hands. 1t is to be done in breadths
four feet wide at time. Three hands
and one wheelbalrow will work to adj
vantage on breadth"
In this minute manner the whole work
of the year is mapped out, and each ne
gro's place assigned HIM. Even the horses
are called by name, and directions given
for their care and the labor they are to
preform. At Christmas the negroes are
to be allowed holiday, and certain ones
permitted to visit distant relatives. He
closed the memorandum by saying:
81 propose this year to begin to form
the Monticello farm, which will lie with
in the two fences already directed, the
river and the park branch. I think the
first object is to begin to recover Belfeld
by filling the gullies with bushes aud
giving it all the aid of manure we can
and to clear up neatly all the open lands
south and west of Mr.. Lilly's house.
These may be sowed in oats and clover
| in the spring, and the better parts of Bel
| field may be tended in cowpeas. I pro.
pose in retaining this farm never again
to break up the steep hill sides, but only
SO much of the ridges as lie so we'll a.
that, with reasonable care, they will pre-
serve their plight"
This place afterwards became the mos
