Young grass Is much richer in nit
rogenous substances, also In flt, aud
contains smaller proportion of in-
digestible fibre than older grass, and
is consequently more nourlshing.
The same comparison may be made
between young clover and that which
Is allowed 10 mature for hay. Hay
should always be cut as soon us full
bloem Is reached, since after thi'
point the quality of the crop will con
siderahly deteriorate.

Sea Serpents and SIashers.

I haven't any sea serpent stories.
said naval officer few days ago upon
his return from long voyage, "but /
am not now prepared to say, as / once
was, that there is no such thing as a sea
serpent. One of my brother officers q
man well known to the navy, who is of
a most conservative and mathematical
disposition, has almost made a convert
of me. Some time ago, on a voyage in
the Pacific Ocean, he was in charge of a
vessel that encountered sea serpent. l
would violate his confidence if told all
that he described to me. He made q
careful report of his experience, which
he forwarded to that ancient mariner of
the Wabash, Richard Thompson. It was
an official report, and it was made with
much care, but the Secretary of the
Navy evidently didn't think it a fit story
even for his marines, aud he suppressed
the report. 1 have, however, exploded
another legend of the sea. You have
often heard the story of the slasher, q
fish which was said TO be the enemy of
the whale, and which, it was related,
would whip the whale to death by beat
ing it with his tail. l have heard the
story from old sailors and from lands
men, and. on this voyage determined
to keep lookout for the slasher. We
were off the Bermudas one afternoon,
when / observed a great commotion in
the water about an eighth of mile from
the ship. There was a whale in sight,
and it seemed to be engaged in mortal
combat with veritable slasher, and as
the water foamed about its head I
thought that could discern the outline
of the strange animal. 1 had boat
lowered and put in good crew, and L
had them pull swiftly toward the whale.
[ kept my glass at my eye all the way,
Watching every movement, and as we
were able to get close before the whale
discovered cur presence, was able to
discover the secret of the mystery of the
slasher. There was no long tailed fish
with power to whip q whale to death,
but the commotion was created merely
by the whale itself, which was having
some sport by beating the water with its
right fin. From a distance it seemed as
though another fish was fighting the
whale, but there was no longer a mys-
terry to me about the slasher when con-
cluded my observation. l am not pre-
pared to say that the sea serpent legend
can be as easily accounted for.

Stop Right There.

It is safe to say that every week, If
not every day, brings TO light some new
case of embezzlement-som new de-
falcation-some new breach of trust.
In large proportion of these cases
it is found that the guilty person has
fallen into the habit of gambling.
And gambling is vice of the preva-
lence of which the uninitiated have
hardly the faintest conception.
Playing cards for amusement is an
almost universal custom. Indeed, in
some circles, not to be expert at fash
ionabIe games of cards Is looked upon
almost in the light of lacking an accom-
plishment. This is true, notwithstand-
ing all the preaching of the day, and
may as we'll be acknowledged.
But there is one point at which we
think all right-minded persons will see
the wisdom of stopping. And that is
where it comes to playing for money.
No matter how small the amount, do
not play for single cent. By no other
rule is any one absolutely safe. The
habit of gambling insidiously fastens
itself upon its victim, and once formed,
is seldom. if ever, shaken off.
Tt is very common to say, We'll, let
us put up quarter apiece, just to give
interest to the game.
Listen not to the charmer. If the
game is not interesting enough without
playing for money, quit it.
Never play for money-no matter
how insignificant the sum.
Democratic messenger., 1881-09-24
A Beautiful Science.

The Norristown Herald says:-As-
tronomy is beautiful science. We are
told that if a railway was run from the
earth to the nearest fixed star, and the
fare was one penny for every hundred
miles, and if you were to take mass of
gold to the ticket Office equal To the
national debt or 50, ,000 600 it
would not be sufficient to pay for a
ticket to the nearest fixed star aforesaid.
If this is the case, it matters very
little to us whether such a railway is
ever constructed. 1t would be discour-
aging to go to the ticket office with a
mass of gold equal to $500, 600, 600
and be informed that the fare was S5,-
CTS, ,032, 600. II the ticket agent wouldn' I
