Perpetual Forces.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, in recent
number of the North American Re-
riec, has the following eloquent
passage:
There is no porter like gravitation,
who will bring down any weight
you cannot carry, and if he wants
aid, knows how to find his fellow
laborers. Water works in masses,
sets his irresistible shoulder to your
mill or to your ships, or transports
vast bOulders of rock neatly packed
in his iceberg 1000 miles. But it's
far greater power depends on its
talent of becoming little, and enter
ing the smallest holes and pores.
By this agency, carrying in solution
elements needful to every point, the
vegetable world exists. Who are
farmers servants? Who but geolo-
gy, chemistry, the quarry of the air,
the water of the brook, the light
ming of the cloud, the plow of the
frost? Before he was born into the
field, the sun of ages soaked it with
light and heat, mellowed his land,
decomposed the rocks, covered it
with vegetable film, then with for
ests, and accumulated cubic acres of
sphagnun whose decays make the
peat of his meadow. The rocks
crack like glass by inequality Of
contraction in heat and cold, and
flakes fall constantly into the soil.
The tree can draw on the whole air,
the whole earth, on all the rolling
main. The plant, the tree, is all
suction pipe, imbibing from the
ground by its roots, from the air by
its twigs, with all its might.
Take up a spadeful or bucket
load of loan; who can guess what it
holds? But a gardner knows that
it is full of peaches, full of oranges,
and be drops in few seeds by way
of keys to unlock and combine its
virtues lets il lie in sun and rain,
and by and by it has lifted into the
air its full weight in golden fruit.
What agencies of electricity, gravi-
ty, light, affinity, combine to make
every plant what it is, and in a man.
ner so quiet that the presence of
these tremendous powers is not Or
dinarily suspected. Faraday said
that "a grain of water is known to
have electric relations equivalent to
a very powerful flash Of lightning"
The ripe fruit is dropped at last
without violence, but the lightning
fell and the storm ragged, and strata
were deposited and uptorn and bent
back, and chaos moved from beneath
to create and flavor the fruit on
your table to-day.

gently stroked in a feline manner
the Maltese tabby that evidently lay
in her lap for that purpose, "don't
you long for spring, with its balmy
breath, its warm sunshine and its
gentle showers, which awakens
nature and puts life into everything
that has laid cold and dead during
the long winter, and brings every
thing up out of the cold, cold ground
into light and life ?" "Well, hardly,
widow" responded the old deacon,
"you know I buried my second wife

"DO you know that wasps are
wonderful paper-makers 2" asked
one of our practical Massachusetts,
paper-manufacturers the other day
"Thsy are," said he. "They make
real paper, just as truly as paper
makers. A wasp flies to a flower
and covers the front of its body all
over with the dust of the flowers.
This is moistened and mixed with
the wax which is -secreted on the
surface of the body. Then the wasp
flies away to an Old fence, or other
piece of weather. worn wood, which
has a loose, fuzzy, fibrous surface
made 80 by exposure to the air, sun
and rain. The wasp rubs itself
upon this fibrous matter just as it
did upon the dust of the flower, and
a layer of il adheres to the body
and becomes mingled with wax in
the same way.
"Then away goes the wasp to the
nest which it is building. places
Itself just on the spot where it wants
the layer of paper to be, and then
works itself up into a heat by
furious buzzing of the wings, so that
the wax is moistened next to the
body, and the paper drops off in the
right place where il can be fastened
on. Its product is just as really
paper, according to the sense of the
word in manufacturing, as any which
comes from a paper-mill.

The Scientific american thinks il
q pity that babies have not a market
value like hogs. A death rate among
the pigs, less than one-third the
death rate among children in our
large cities, moves the Government
to costly Investigations of the cause,
and to diplomatic correspondence
with foreign nations, while pro-
duce Exchanges get excited on the
subject, and all the newspapers join
in the discussion. The babies die
by the Thousand in New York and

fact.

An Indiana farmer gives his meth
Od of raising the small white navy
bean, and finds it a remunerative
crop. He says: Iplow the ground
as early in the spring as possible,
letting the ground rest in this con-
dition until | am done planting
corn; and then / plow it again, and
harrow and roll il until it is well
pulverized. Then take a two
horse wheat drill, stss up every
other hole, and set the 9Uill to sow
three pecks of wheat 81 a fire. m |
then drill in the beans ffke1Hilling
wheat. 1t viii take about half
bushel of seed beans to the acre.
Now the work is done till harvest
time. The beans need no cultiva-
ting. Poor land is the best for
beans. Rich land causes them to
grow too much in the vines, and so
bear but few beans. Five acres will
produce one hundred and forty
bushels. One hundred bushels of
clean beans will bring in market,
81 and $50 per bushel.

A Word 10 Young wives.

A widowed woman in middle life
was once asked by friend, if she
should ever marry again! "No,"
she replied, in all candor and with
no traces of bitterness, 81 am too
old to learn to live with another
man" She recognized the fact that
there were peculiarities OF character
and disposition in every one that
required an especial education as
one went along to make life har-
monious. Perfect sdsptability can
not be expected from those who had
been brought up in widely-differing
homes and spheres oftentimes.
Young ladies brought mp on novels
make no account of this fact, hence
much of the disappointment and,
perhaps, bitterness OF spirit which
arises when the fact dawns upon
them that the beloved one is only a
common place mortal with many
failings, like her father and brothers
and uucles, or even herself.
Take it for granted that there will
be Objectionable points of character
or manner that are real trial. But
do not take il too much to heart.
Above all bury the fact in the secret
depths of your soul, rather than
speak of them to others. Nothing
spreads faster than the whisper that
a young wife is dissatisfied with her
husband. A prairie fire cannot keep
up with it. And trifles light as air
are magnified as they sweep along,
until you would be astonished at the
results. You have gained nothing
and lost much. But woman of
cheerful tact aud loving heart can
educate a young man into almost
any style she chooses. Sulking and
fretting will never do it, but brave,
true heart and steady persistence
will make over a character marvel
ously. | have seen it done more
than once, not the less effectively
because the work went on all un-
consciously. That was the beauty
of it. Dear girl, if you find John is
not the ideal the novels pictured
him, you can mould him into some
thing great deal better, and at the
same time establish yourselfas queen
of true heart, sphere wide en-
Ough to satisfy even an ambitious
woman.
Do not give yourself too much
distress over trifies that may be un-
important, though not exactly to
your mind. Allow to each person
certain amount of individuality.
Often those most intolerant of these
things in others are those of the
most marked peculiarities them
selves. Differences of early train
ing make a marked difference in
habits, which may be a source OF
much discord if you only give it full
play. But better way is to pass
over in silence what cannot be rem
edied, and not waste too much SEN
timent over it. People can be very
happy in each others society, where
love reigns, even though they are
very unlike in many respects.
You will need to learn the art of
living harmoniOusly, with almost
any man of character sufficiently
marked to be OF any force in the
world. An energetic, efficient char
scter will have its angles. Learn
to dwell more on the good traits
than to be always searching with
microscope for the little failings.--

Editors lntcllIgcnceE
Will you please give through the col
timns Of tho lNTELLlGESCER the position OF
tho different political parties in the coming
election in Virginia, and oblige
ESQurREh
Parties in Virginia are nominally divi.
ded on the debt question into Flinders and
Readjusters. Tho former represent the
bulk Of the Democratic party, and the
latter section Of tl,at party, headed
be Senator Malone, together with large
following Of the Republican party. The
Funders hold that Virginia owes oil OF her
debt, principal and interest, except the
one-third set aSideto West Virginia in 1871.
The ReadiuSters hold that part Of the debt
has been iraudulently compounded, and
that Virginia can not pay the debt us II
stands, but that she can pay about twenty.
FIVE millions Of II at three or four per cent
interest The Funders stigmatizc the Re
adjusters az repudiutionists, and the latter
retort that tho Fundes are mere pretend.
ers, inasmuCh rs while they would be
thought solicitous for the honor of the State
they have let her default in interest, and
have otherwise shown that they are not
zealots for the payment Of either interest
or principal Of the debt.
This Is the nominal isstio in the virginia
/. campaign. Malone and his followers
claim to be better affected towards the
public school system and towards the NO.
litical rights Of the colorcd people than
their opponents. They charge the Bour.
bons, OF straight.out Democrats with hos.
tlllty towards the schools, and point to the
law requiring the payment Of poll tax
before voting OH election day rs measure
intended to disitanchise the colored voter,
ofthe State.
There are Republicans over there, sucl
as General wirkham, who do not or nj
leist have not sympathized,iwith Malone
butlattefly they have generally come into
his following with view Of breaking the
power Of BoutbohiSm iii Virginia and the
South, and opening up the way to tho final

The debt question has been pretty, much

cussionsnow read about as they did in the

prejudices have come to the front once
more, and a great ding.dong is made as
