He vowed that the only sure way iuto Heaven Waa ever by nino to l>e snoruing in bed; To get up at nve and then walk until seven; And scripture he quoted to prove tv hat lie said. Unto Sara there cwne visions of spirtaal arson; II->t brimstone nc seemed iu the future to smell; Aud he swore he would heed the advice of the parson— Deplorably weak in our friend Sum-n-cl! He placed himself under a hard course of traiaing, Retiring each evauing soon after dark, Wailst morn utter morn, whether shining or raining, Found po. r sneezing Samuel up with the lark. His appetite grew simply fearful! At dinner, His landlady vowed, he would gobble for two; And yet day bv day he grew thinner and thinner; llis eye became snukou, his nose became blue.

But if tho front end of the needle is on the Uft of the line, then the amount of the vena tion must be added—tluit is, the bearing will be that much more. There is a practical rule for rumjiug a straight line betwe n two corners which can not be seen the one from the other, where there arc no land marks to guide, which I will give for tho benefit of survey ors: V ■ Ttie end would, no doubt, Uave been .u well and good j Start at one of the corners, and take the Bat one dav they got himtocbnrcli, where the preacher i bearing as near as thosf liCSt acquainted *•— —— - with the direction may sifggest.

Then make file following state ment; i 2; bulk.* ?, . As the entire length of line is to 57-3, so is the distance by which jhd corner was missed to the number of degrees and tenths of degrees In rite angle the ran- aom line and tho true line. Add or sub tract this angle, according as you may be on one side or the other of the trite line. Then begin at the second corner, and with this corrected bearing, run back to the first comer. Mathematicians will understand the rea son of this rule, but it is unnecessary to ex plain it here. The rule is not exactly accu rate, but for small angles, it is near enough l'or all practical purposes. W. R. Athens, Ga., April, 1876.

Eililor Southern Coltieutor: — Thirty years’ experience has convinced the writer that the variation of the magnetic needle has iieen the most fruitful source of dispute about land lines. Country surveyors scarcely ever lake any account, of the annual variation of the needle, in running old lines. Their ‘mbit is, as a general rule, to take tnedeed or plat furnished by the party who employs them, and run by the hearings therein found. If these were taken a number of years anterior to the re-survey, tho new line will not coin cide with the old one. riissatisfation is the result, and not unfrcqucntly a quarrel ot huge proportions grows out of the job—lead ing to a law-stit, wasting the time of the Court and nitending witnesses^. Nine-tenths of these difficulties mitrht be avoided, if sur veyors generally understood the annual variation of the magnetic needle, and the mode of applying it, when practicable. I 1 Wl liailllllN.

Heuce, such a deed would lie a -uurco of |ierplexity to the surveyor. Now, if every plat contained the exact date of the -urvey, and every deed stated distinctly -vheu the liearings mentioned were taken, there would lie no difficulty in tracing an old line, though every laud-iuurk h.ui been obliterated except one corner. It is a fact known to scientific men, tluit the magncctic needle is never stationary, l'he north end of the needle is now moving westward, differing in amount in different localities, In the neighborhood of Athens, Ga., it is moving westward on an average of •me minute and a half annually; so that in cn years there is a change of fifteen minutes. In forty vears just one degree. Now sup pose a landholder puts a deed, which con tains bearings that were taken forty years ago, in the hands of a surveyor, and he run* by that deed : iu a liuc of sixty chains lie will miss the old coruer over oua chain, or twenty-three yards, and for a line ol double i he length forty-.six vards. This will make *uch a difference as to produce contention and sometimemes afatal quarrel. The first thing for every surveyor to do when be goes iuto a new community, is to determine the annual variation for that place. This can he most conveniently done by placing a good compass on a well estab lished line of long standing; the date of sur vey being accurately known. RULE. Notice the difference between the present and the old hearing Reduce this to sec onds and divide by the number of years which has elapsed between the two dates.
