Driving a Hen.

When 4 woman has hen to drive into
the coop, she takes hold of her skirts with
both hands, shakes them quietly to the
delinquent and says: "Shoo, there!" The
hen takes one look at the object to con-
vince herself that it is woman and then
stalks majestically into the coop. \ man
doesn't do that way. He goes out doors
aud says: at is singular nobody can drive
a hen but ne, and picking up a stick of
wood, hurls it at the offending biped and
observes: sect in there, you thief" The
hen Immediately loses her reason and
dashes to the other end of the yard. The
man straightway dashes after her. She
comes back with her head down, her wings
out, and followed by an assortment ofstove
wood, fruit cans and clinkers, and very
mad man in the rear. Then she skins
under the barn, and over fence or two,
and around the house, and back again to
the coop, duu uiI liIc nlhS tdiAib- NS Sh'J
an excited hen can talk, and all the while
followed by things convenient for handling,
and man whose coat is on the saw-b buck,
and whose hat is on the ground, and whose
perspiration has no limit, By this time
the other hens have come out to take a
hand in the debate and help dodge mis-
siles, and the man says every hen on the
place shall be sold in the morning, and
puts on his things and goes down the
street, and the woman has every one of
those hens housed and counted in two
minutes.
These plans of driving are applicable
to other cases than hens. The person who
goes about the business gently and calmly
will seldom fail of success, while for him
who resorts to the fire and thunder plan
we may always look with doubts as to
successful results. Mobile Register.

Long OOurtships.

Beyond a certain point there is no pro-
gress in courtship. When the parties to
the affair have arrived at the conviction
that they were "made for each other, and
cannot be happy apart, the sooner they be-
come zone and inseparable' the better.
Antenuptial affection is as mobile as quick
silver, and when it has reached its highest
point, the safest policy is to merge it in
matrimonial bliss. Otherwise, it may ret
rograde. Very long courtships often end
in baek-out on one side or the other
the retiring party being in most eases in
constant man" And we would hint to
that unro liable being that he has no right
to dangle after an ostimable woman for
years without any fixed intention of marry
ing her The best thing lady can do un
der such circumstances is to bring matters
to a focus. by asking the point-no point
gentleman rhat he means, and ,chen9
She can either do that or dismiss him al
together. Perhaps the latter plan would
in most instances be the better one; for a
man who is slow to matrimony is generally
slow in all the concerns of life.

National Wealth.

The total valuation Of the national
wealth Of this country as compared with
that or other nations, as given by I. NJ.
Coan 10 4 recent number OF Harper's Ma
gaEine, is as follows We stand near the
head Of the list--,hird on the liSt Of all the
Western nations. The United Kingdom
Of Great Britain and Ireland heads the list
with a capital valuation Of s4I 400, ,OOO,-
600. then comes France with $50, 700, ,000,-
600. the United States with $50, goo, ,000,-
600. Germany with s22 100000 900,
Russia with $1,000 ,O0O, 900, aud the
Lover Countries with sll,l50,000 Of
capital collectively. These are the valua-
tions made By those countries of their en-
tire resources. What is the average al
nual income per iuhabi,ans in various
countries? We come to the front in this
comparison. The average annual income
in the United Kingdom is sl65, in the
United States Sl65 also, in the Low COun-
tries $3.50, in France sl25, in the British
Colonies $40, in Germany aud also 10

latiou our case is even better, relatively far
better. The annual accumulation ofwealth
in Germany is 5000, 900, 900 it is $685.

coo, 900 in France; in the United States it is
sS25, 600, 600. Oar increase Of national
wealth since 1850, says good English
authority, would be enough to purchase the
whole German Empire, with its farms,
cities, banks, shipping, manufactures, etc.
The annual accumulation has been SS25,
0O0 900, and therefore each decade adds
more TO the wealth Of the United States
than the capital value of Italy or Spain.
Every day that the sun rises upon the
American people it sees an addition OF
81 500 900 to the wealth Of the republic.

Kindness and for pleasure. The parents

laughter. As to the new triumph OF science
and machinery ever being able to extin-
guish the poetry of the mountain, that is
impossible. The whole railway stations
and adjuncts seem pigmy work on the
mighty bosom of Vesuvius; and formerly,
| am sure, no one had time or strength
during the painful toll of the ascent to ad-
mEe the steep outline Of the mountain, the
effect of the moon rising behind its edge,
or the beauty of the landscape below.
Now, as we gently glide down in cur tiny
carriage and see beneath us, as in a well,
the lights Of the principal station, We have
time to observe everything.
The most curious effect is produced by
seeing the ascending carriage slip past US,
as it were, up to heaven, in spite of all the
laws of gravity. This new plaything is,
indeed, very delightful, and no one ean
spend moonlight night better than in
such an unfatiguing ascent of Vesuyius,
ready on arriving at the top to enjoy the
sublime spectacle. How long the tiny
railway will last is another thing. In it.

Horse Flesh in Chemistry.

In France, when horse has reached
the age of twenty or thirty, it is destined
for chemical factory it is first relieved
Of its hair, which serves to stuff cushions
and saddles then it is slaughtered and
skinned; the hoofs serve to make combs.
Next the carcass is placed in cylinder
aud cooked by steam at a pressure OF
three atmospheres; cock is opened, which
allows the steam TO be run off; then the
remains are cut up, the leg bones are
sold to make knife handles, etc, and the
coarser. the ribs, the head, etc, are con
verted into animal black and glue. The
first are caleined in cylinders, and the va
pors when condensed form the chief source
ofcarbonate of ammonia, which constitutes
the base of nearly all ammoniacal salts.
There is IN animal oil yielded which makes
a capital insecticide and vermifuge. To
make glue, the bones are dissolved in mu
riatic acid which takes away the phos-
phate of lime, the soft residue, retaining
the shape of the bone, is dissolved in boil
ing water, cast into squares and dried on
nets. The phosphate of lime, acted upon
by sulphuric acid and calcined with car
bon produces the PHOSPHORUS for lucifer
matches. The remaining flesh is distilled
to obtain the carbonate of ammonia. The
resulting mass is pounded up with potash
then mixed with old nails and iron of ev-
cry description the whole is calcined and
yields magnificent yellow crystals-prus'
state of potash, with which tissues are dyed
a Prussian blue, and iron transformed into

VISITING.

Some people visit nearly all the time,
and so waste their own lives and the sub
stance of their friends; some rarely visit
at all and so deny themselves and their
neighbors one of the greatest pleasures of
social existence Some people make visits
so brief that they are not worth the trou-
bic they cost; others stay so long that they
become a visitation fever or a
famine. As use is essential in everything,
only those who have certain amount OF
practice know how to visit well, while
those who visit too much err and become
unwelcome visitors from imprudencc and
carclessness.
l once heard a gentleman remark OF
some annoying visitors, Il am always
twice glad-glad when they come, and
glad when they are gene The following
lines are quite appropriate and are very
expressive
What smiles and welcomes would give,
some hris1sd to see each day ! live:
And yet what treasures would pay
II some would always stay away
