Money Planting.

Most farmers are familiar with the
common mode of planting the various
seeds, trees and flowers, but probably
the idea of planting money has never
struck them. Most of them may have
a glimmering of sailing down their
cash, as it is called, by secreting it in
cellars and under barn floors. But this
mode is not the planting now meant.
Only sordid misers pursue this course.
Money can be planted as well as ce-
reals, roots and bulbs, and yield a pro-
fitable return, too. And the wise and
prudent man will thus act. He will
plant some OF it in agricultural books
and papers, which he will carefully pc
ruse, and thoughtfully digest, and thus
increase his capital stock of knowledge
whereby he can extend his business, and
increase his income, while at the same
time it will be q fountain of enjoyment
to him and his growing family. Then
a portion of his wealth will be planted
in adornments to his premises - his
house, inside and out, which will not
only bc pleasing to those who inhablt
them, but will afford qualification to
those who travel the highway past lis
property, These adornments will pro-
duce refinement, aud strengthen the
moral and mental faculties, and bring
about Il feeling of %contentment and con-
~sequently happiness. Try it, some OF
you, who spend hundreds of dollars for
whisky and tobacco, and thus set a bad
example before your W children ana
your ~ueighbors. Money is only valna-
Bile for the good it will do, and the com
forts it will bring, and many of these
can be secured by planting money, II 1t
is planted properly -Amefican Farmer.

Mr.. HerbeliD, who was engaged ex-
tens1yeiy in silk raising, some time since
ordered from Europe a number OF reels,
but upon the arrival of these machines
many of them were found incomplete,
From some certain necessary pieces
were missing, and others were foand &c
work in a very unsatisfactory manner.
Mr.. Herbelin laid them aside and or
dered new ones constructed in New Or,
leans When completed II of these
reels we're placed in his establishment
on Customhouse street, and after many
trials they were successfully worked
The Southern Silk Factory may be con
sidered now in thorough running order
and Mr.. Herbelin has already a force o
IA women and girls on his PREMISE
working these reels, and two men t.
perform the heavy work.
His labors have been crowned will
success, and yesterday he exhibited a
the Produce Exchange two samples Q

the first quality.
The success achieved By Mr.. Herbelil

Cotton, says the Philadelphia Record,
has recently been adapted TO a new and
most useful purpose. Manufactured into
duck it has been successfully introduced
as d roofing material. Aside from it's
cheapness, it possesses the advantage
of lightness as compared with shingles
or slate, effectually excludes all water,
and is said to be a non-conductor OF
heat. so that the rooms next the roof are
not undnly heated BY the SUMS rays.
The method of laying is to plane the
boards to an even thickness and nail
them down securely. The duck is laid
dry, and is drawn over the ro0f-not
lengthwise. The edges are Tapped one
inch, and nailed with 16-ounce timed
carpet tacks. These tacks are driven
one inch apart. Then two coats ofpaint
composed of oil and lead, are applied.
When it is desired to protect the roof
against fire, fre-proof paint may be
used In addition. Should cotton come
into general use as q roofing material
there would be d great demand for the
staple. Viewed in this light, the new
adaptation 10 a subject Of Importance

BalZac's Death.

When the great novelist felt that his end
was approaching, says the Paris Figaro, he
asked his physician whether he had still six
months left to prepare "last word" to the
public. The physician shook his head, "Ah,"
Balzac mournfully said, "IIses you will not
allow me six months. viii you give me six
weeks9" Again the physician, shook his
head Balzac almost angrily exclaimed:
''Am then dead manp But am strsng
enough to submit to the enivitable. Do not
deceive me. Have l still six daysr' The
physician could not immediately reply, he
turned away to hide his tears. "Six days
then," continued Balzac, "well, l shall
briefly tell you what l still have to do. I
shall have time to cast hasty glance at my
fifty volumes. l shall tear out some poor
pages and mark some good ones. Mans will
can do wonders" The physician could bare
ly regain his composure. my dear sir" 10
at last replied, "who can foretell the hour Of
death? But you want me to speak the truth.
You spoke of a last word to the public. Well
the last word must be spoken to-day, and II
you have anything else to say do not wait un-
til tomorrow Balzac raised his head.
"Have l, then, not six hours2" he exclaimed
in horror, and sunk back exhausted. The
physicians last word was his death blow.
A few hours afterward Balzac expired.
