j “Read it, dear," said Airs. Sarah.
| And he read.
“I rejoice with you in your improved
health and spirits. Both of ns, I suppose,
are doomed to find the body more or less
a burden to the end of our journey. But
I repine not at the doom. What remains
to me of strength becomes more precious
for what is lost. I have lost one ear, but
was never so alive to sweet sounds as now.
My sight is so far impaired that the
brightness in which nature was revealed
to me in my youth is dimmed, but I nev
er looked on nature with such pure joy
as now. My limbs soon tire, but I nev
er felt it such a privilege to move about
in the open air, under the sky, in sight of
the infinity of creation, as at this mo
ment. I almost think that my simple
food eaten by rule, was never relished so
well. I am grateful, then, for my earth
ly taljernaele, though it does creak and
-hnke not j>. little.
The habit which I have of looking at
what is interesting and great in human
nature has no small influence in brighten
ing my life."

to his wife, he proposed that they should

XtSr. iWechi on Poultry.
This eminent English agriculturist has
the following to say about poultry: “No
one item on a farm pays so well as a good
stock of poultry, properly managed. With
them everytliing is turned to account.
Not a kernel, wild seed or insect escapes
their scrutinizing eyes. Their industrious
claws are ever at work, uncovering, ready
for appropriation, every hidden but con
sumablo substance. Fowls must have
free access to chalk or lime for tho shells
of their eggs, and grit or giavel to grind
the food in their gizzards. They luxuriate
on grass or clover, which are a necessity
for them. In winter they like mangolds
or swedes. They must have access to
plenty of pure water. The quality of the
eggs depends upon the quality of the
food. They, like ourselves, like shade
in summer and warm sheltered comers in
winter. They must have some access to
shelter iu wet weather. Fowls will not
be long healthy on the same ground or
yards—the earth gets tainted. Therefore,
to prevent disease lime and salt your
yards and their usual pasture once a year,
say in autumn, when the rains will wash
it well in and sweeten the surface. Broods
lof chickens never do better with us than
on the grassy brows or patches abutting
upon the growing crops, either of com
or pulse, into which they run either for
insects or for shelter. The roofs ot tho
coop should be water-tight, and the coop
should often be removed, having only
the natural ground for tho floor. The
ground soon gets tainted unless you re
move the coop. You can hardly make
some people good managers of poultry
if they lack observation and judgment.
These are especially necessary in the
breeding of poultry. Your male birds
should be often changed, say at least once
in two years, and they should be young
and vigorous. Breeding in and in, will
not do, any more than it will with anis
main. I consider winged game, poultry
and birds the farmers’ friends. My poul
try have access at all times to my fields.
Fowls are very useful in cleaning off flies.
I have often been amused at seeing the
neat and quick manner of their taking
flies from reposing bullocks 'and sheep,
much to their comfort.

One of the surprising ta ngs in con
nection with the failure of Jny Cooke &
Co. is the magnitude of their business.
At the recent trial in Philadelphia Air.
Morehead, one of the partners of the firm,
testified tliat Cooke Se Co. negotiated for
the government $1,930,000,000 in bonds
and afterwards bought and sold 83,000,-
000,000 in addition. In ten years that
firm transacted a business covering five
billions of dollars, a larger amount than
was ever handled in the same time by any
house in the world. It would seem' that
a firm having the handling of so much
money could have made enough bv its
enormous transactions to carry the 'Nor
thern Pacific through a three weeks’ pan
ic, if not enough to build the l oad. Cer
tainly most banilkers would have rubbed
that small amount from the coin as it
slipjied through their fingers, anil, either
the firm was very honest or did business
in a very loose way. Mr. Morehead thinks
the house failed from over confidence. It
had been dazzled by the enormous sums
it handled till a paltry $8,000,000 seemed
a mere bagatelle. It is a remarkable in
stance of failure from doing a too large
and profitable business.
Eight-Houses.
Light-houses simplify navigation and
lessen its dangers, thus encouraging com
merce by preventing the shipwrecks that
increase the cost of transportation. But
it is not alone for their economy that
they are valuable. They protect the lives
of our sailors, and were established, first
of all, with that noble purpose. Less
than one hundred years ago there were
only eighty-four light houses in the Uni
ted States. To-night, as you sit by tho
window watching the lamp lighter hur
rying through the darkening streets at
sunset, five hundred and ninety-one bea
cons twinkle seaward on the coast from
the SL Croix River, on the boundaries
of Maine, to the Bio Grande, on the Gulf
of Mexico, and cover a distance of over
5,000 miles on the Atlantic coast, 1,500
miles more on the Pacific coast, 3,000 on
tho great Northern lakes, and 700 miles
on the inland rivers. There is scarcely a
square foot on the maigin of the sea
throughout the 5,000 miles of Atlantic
coast that is not illuminated by light
house rays, and, in clear weather, tho
mariner passing out of sight of one light
immediately gains another.
If all these lights were alike they would
lead to disastrous mistakes, and instead
of guiding they would confuse. Accor
dingly. they are dividedinto sixkinds. The.
first-order lights are intended to give
warning of the approach of land, and ? - d
supplied with the best apparatus, visible
at the greatest distance ; the second-order
lights are of the next best quality, not. so
powerful as the first, and they mar
and approaches to bays and sounds : Vo
third order lights are inferior to either of
the above, and point bays that are very
wide and intricate, like the Delaware Bay;
the fourth, fifth, and sixth-order lights
are usually simple lanterns, marking tho
shoals, wharves, and other prominent
points in smaller bays and rivers.
They are also distinguished more exact
ly in another way. In some instances
the lights are white and fixed ; in others
they are white and revolve at stated
intervals, of which the mariner is inform
ed ; in other instances they are red and
fixed, or red anu ieu>i,i.. n . <—d „ K ci,i
they are red and white, exhibiting each
color alternately, or varying a steady
white flame with a crimson flash. Tho
distinctions are so decided and numerous
that the look-out at the mast head can
tell in an instant which light it is that he

“Will it pay to plant cotton in an old
pine field? It has not been in cultivation
in 25 or 30 years. I am now cutting
down the under-growth and pine trees,
and wish to plant it in cotton next year
if it will pay. Also inform me what is
the best and cheapest manure for it?—J.
H. P., Cheraw, S. C., Sept. 5, 1874."
Cotton liko peas, grows well on newly
reclaimed old fields. Our practice has
been t j break such land as deep as pos
sible from the start. A neighbor thinks
this plan destructive to the land, if prac
ticed tho first year. His plan is to open
his drill deep', but break and cultivate
middles shallow during the first year.
We are skeptical. Have our readers any
facts on this point.
Before answering the other question of
our correspondent, we take this occasion
to throw out a suggestion in connection
with such land. It is this: run lines of
level at intervals across the field, and put
all the brush and such logs as one does
not desire to haul off, along these lines,
to act as break-waters. In a few years
such material will be decayed, and rich
strips across tho fields will mark their
position. These may then be cultivated,
and othor strips above or below thorn left
uncultivated to act as break-waters, and
in their t.nrn to Iwieorne rich. In this
manner the washing away of the soil may
be arrested and its fertility perpetua
ted.
As such land is well supplied with
vegetable matter (humus), concentrated
manures, such as commercial fertilizers
are best—a high grade superphosphate
for instance—put deep in the drill, (as
such land is disposed to be turfy and dry
near the surface,) and a little ammoniated
manure with the seed, to push young
plants rapidly in the spring.

ships are those that served so well the
Guion steamship about wliich we spoko
at the beginning, and the lights of tho
Sandy Hook light ship. If these were all
the same in color and form, tho oldest
captain might possibly mistake one for
the other, and so run his vessel aground.
But each is different. The Fire Island
light-house exhibits a white flash, the
Highland a fixed white light, and tho
light-ship a fixed red light. Upon such
distinctions are these the success of the
system much depends. Another very
important point is that no changes shall
be made in the appearance of the light
houses until a notice of them L.,s been
published in the maritime columns of the
newspapers and in official circulars dis
tributed among seafaring men. The
sites of light-houses and the stations of
light-ships are chosen in the most exposed
neighborhoods, and where wrecks are
most frequent. On Block Island, in the
approach to the Long Island Sound, fifty-
nine ships were lost between the years
1819 and 1838, in several instances with
all their crews. Think of that, children !

Nickel.
We all know what nickels arc, in tho
plural, for we are continually handling
the five-cent coin known by this name,
and our five senses may all take note of
it; but as to nickel in the singular, it isi
a singular fact that most people know
very little about it. It is only of lato
that it lias come into general use, tho
Swiss government being the first to use
it for coinage, some thirty years ago.
Its recent discovery is, however, a redis
covery.
Dr. Flight, of the British museum, in
London, found three whitish coins there,
which had the appearance of silver. But
he had his doubts as to their genuineness,
and subjected them to tests, when they
confessed themselves to be but nickel.
As these coins bore date two hundred
years before the Christian era, the learn
ed doctor put to flight all idea of tlio
discovery of nickel in modem times.
It is * a curious circumstance that

| “I propose turning under my stubble
land about the first of October, sowing
rye on the lan I at the same time—rye to
lie turned under in its turn, the first of
February, for cotton. The land has a
fine crop of crab-grass, oat and wheat
stubble. Will the 1st October be too
soon? Or do you think the grass plough
ed under now, to be followed by rye in
February, as green crops, would pay me
for the extra expense.—Subscriber, Lit
tle Rock, S. C., Sept. 11, 1874.
The great need of our old lands, es
pecially those that have been ran in cot.
ton, is vegetable matter, and there is lit
tle danger of getting too much in them.
Your plan is a good one and will pay.
Would it not be better, however, to
delav turning under the Rye tilli 1st of
March, to allow more growth. First ol
October is none too early to turn under
orass and weeds—first of September
would havo been better, as it would have
given the rye a better start, and pos-
siblv prevented the grass and weeds from
perfeting seed.—Southern Cultivator.

name.
The workmen in a German Coppermine
found a reddish ore which was of no uso
to them, and which they, therefore, ima
gined was put there by that mythical
personage, supposed to live in German
mountains, called “Old Nick, in older
to deceive or hinder them. They, there
fore, gave the ore the name of Kupfer-
nickel, or copper-nickel. When the metal
came into use the miner's nick name was
adopted, and even for scientific purposes
turned into the Latin word nieolum.
The same is the case with the ore from
which cobalt is made, and which is often
found in conjunction with nickel anil
copper. It was called cobalt from its
supposed production by tne elves, who,
according to German legend, guard tho
treasures of the mines, and who are
known as Cobbolds.
Nickel is valuable chiefly on account of
its hardness, and its freedom from lia
bility to rust. In many cases it takes
the place of silver, and when brightly
polished looks almost as well. In its
common form, it is mixed with a largo
proportion of copper. It is highly mag
netic, and serves for tlie needles of com
passes, but for other needles the verdict
“not sew well.”
