Old Rivers Utilized.

Running water leaves on the earth's
crust marks as permanent MS any Of the
violent convul>iuns Of nature. The dis
covery has lately been made in Australia
that the streams Of the Tertiary period,
probably many years ago, but now dried
up, are vast storehOuse, of wealth. They
are carefully searched out aud worked
for tin. They acted precisely in the same
way as the rivers Of our own day, wasE-
ing away the lighter rock, and leaving a
concentration of the heavy ore in the
channel. They vary considerably in
depth, according to the remoteness OF
their origin. In one Of them a shaft has
been sunk to 60 feet, and at that depth
the ground is Il regular river bed, with,
in some places, II collection of loose drift
sand, heavily intermiXed with tiu-ore
1t has been opened, at that depth, to the
distance, horizontally, of 1000 feet, and
explored by boring from the surface for
600 feet more. The width of the seam
has increased from 1S to 400 feet, and it
contains an average of three feet of what
the miners call "pay dirt" that is to say,
soil worth working, for it yields about
~ per cent. of metal, an excellent pro-
duce for tin-ore. Some of these deposits
are discovered at only few feet from
the surface, "A fact which shows that they
are Of much later date than the one re-
ferred 20 above, but still of immeasur-
able antiquity. The state of the earth
also shows that these latter rivers were
not in action for very long periods, as the
ore has been far less washed Twenty
five Of these tin mines have already been
found, and although the difficulty at
tending all new enterprises has retarded
their development, yet within two years
they have produced 2,050 tons of ore,
worth about 81 100000.

WHAT is it in nature that impresscs us
most5 Is it not the absence OF self-con-
sciousnessI The violet and the oak are
unconscious that there is in them either
beauty or strength The stars glow with
out attempt at parade or heradry of their
wonders. To say that a person is natural,
is to say that he is forgetful of himsef
1t is the highest glory of art, and what
applies to art applies also to the. charac-
ter. The highest form of character dis,
plays itself the least. Children are not
aware Of their brightness. Christian
character loses much of its excellence if
it becomes conscious of itself.

Grade Cattle aud ThorOughbredS.

Thinking over the difference of keep
IN, common grade cattle and possessing
[. herd ot pure hreds, suggested a little
calculation: Thus, say n man has NIFTY
n.,yc,, including hriicr calves. suppose
,y,rr are ten hriicr calves raised every
v.,r There would be also ten yeNlings,
Zen two wear old, aud ten three year old,
ubifb would leave ten COWS four years
olt making hity altogether. Now, &C.
c,,diru to the best English system OF
d,irv uushandry these oldest COWS, which
-, iu., i'm their prime. would he kept
b,rru this year and, when dry from milk,
h. t,ticncd, and sold for beef, Well, IT
,brsc were good Orange County grade
Gnu. aud managed on this English sys.
,em. they would probably make very fine
b.ef and now, ~ the best meat has Il
ready sale for expectation, these ten cows
would make $50 each, thus bringing in
$500 pcr year, over and above what would
arise from the milk or the butter.
Now, We will suppose that instead of
Grade cattle, another man with similar
farm had pure.brcds o! n moderate fancy
breed. or in other words, has thorough.
bred herd, but not any Of the eXtrayagant
Short Horns. Say they are all fine and
useful, with fair pedigree of whatever
breed they may be, and that they are
worth 5000 each on an average. As they
thus cost great deal more than the
grades, there would be much heavier
capital on which to pay interest, and as
round numbers will be near enough for
our purpose, we may put extra interest at
$500 per year. Our calculation would
then be: 10 COWS sold in calf instead of
beef, and the price $500 each, which
would be $4,000 per year instead of $500 {;
but the $500 interest must be deducted
from the larger sum, then leaving 81 800
instead of $500.
This argument could be carried farther
by reckoning the Keeping Of these ami
mails worth several hundred dollars more
each, but when these very costly cattle
are bred, there is deal of extra expense
incurred in pampering them, and, more
over, the high feeding and close breed
ing of relation causes many barren COWS
and many other kinds of disappoint-
ments, which, when everything had been
accounted for, would not improve the re-
turAs from the more moderate strain of
pure-breds.
There should be well regulated Sys-
TEN in breeding, but with those who
will sell animals of any age, from a calf
to a COW, there appears to be no method
at all; whereas, on the other hand, il
there were only the annual draft, there
would be positively decided SYSTEM
