Extraordinary Love Li tter.
In a collection of ancient tracts and

Malden, England, in the year 1644.-r?.

Tp the most choice Gentlewoman and
ornament of fiersex, Mrs. Eliza
beth Goode, daughter of Mr. Sebas
tian Goode, Esquire, at Malden.
Mis. Elizabeth : I have .long beene
an earnest suitor to ydiu- honor and
deserts,) timt I might be admitted an
humble suitor to your sweete selfe; 1
now, after many strivings and wrest
lings. I have almost prevailed. My
next suit is, that your dearest selfe
would comply with vou» dearest pa

ready to part with -vgreat part of their
estate for your sake, and I most wil

in you alorie. Now it is, or sodainly
will be in your power to dash and
frustrate, or crowne all my endeavors;
hereby you will make me a most hap

less happy spouse.
Well, sweete Mrs. Elizabeth, be not
afraid tp venture on me; as you have
a most tender, father, and a most in
dulgent mother. so : let me, that I
thank Providence kept for you, fur

you and will make goode this promise
I'gaiue (when that happy day comes)
on holy ground, that I may love and
honor you.
. Kuowe, this is ray virgin request,
the first request that ever came in ear
nest from my lippes or pen; my eyes
have seen many young gallants and
virgins, but Mrs. Elizabeth is the de
light of my eyes. Others of your
sexe have been acceptable, and some
precious in my eyes; but yau, and you
only, have been and still are, the pearl
of my eyes.
Amongst all the works of-God, I de
light the most in beh&lding .(the sun
expected) an amiable coujatenaaice;
and such in yours, or none, in these
parts of England. Your face is a map
of beauties, your gentle breast-a cabi
net of virtues, and your whole selfe a
cluster of all the choicest .delicacies;

As for"myself, I am thought worthy
of a good wife, though unworthy of

Model Farming.
It is unfortunate that the local as
well as the State, agricultural associa

agriculture depends in a much greater
How the Bullfinch is Taught*
Boys and girls are not the only little
folk who attend singing classes,, as
you shall know when you hear about
thepiping bullfinch.
In sliape and size this bullfinch is
somewhat like the sparrows in onr City
parks but he has a very different bead.
The sparrow, yon know, has a triind
quickjittl&pat&of lilsl own. Not so
with the bullfiuch. His is a clumsy
aihiir—in fact,-lie has a sort of t-bull”
head and neck; so, you see, he is well
named. Besides, .his body- is, nearly
as black as a coal, and his throat is as
red as if. the coal were op .fire. He is
not naturally a singer 1 nor is he half-
so clever as our American mocking
bird. In fact, be seems, rather stupid
but lie; is willing to: learn; and so it
happens that if you preserve long
you can teach him to sing a tape.
The country people of Germany
have found this out. There the peas
ants take great delight in trianing
bullfinches. Their pupils, not being
very bright, as I said before, are stu
pidly hopping about their- cages,
when suddenly they hear, a tune play
ed upon a violin. They prick up
their ears,—or wonld do so if they
could,—and begin to listen, quite un
conscious that that voilin has been
playing that very same tune for about
a week without their noticing Ifc.
But it is something to catcli their atten
tion. Day after day, for months, the
patient teacher goes oyer and.ovvr the
same tune to the listening birds until
human listeners begin to wonder
which one will get crazy first; the bull-,
finch* or tlie player. But by and by
tlie birds) begin to pick up the air,
piping the simple parts at first, and
taking up note after note until, at last
they know the whole thing by heart-.
Sometime a rustic father spends half
his time all winter teaching one little
patient bird, and when the children
look on with the greatest interest. Or
a boy will undertake the task, and
when he at last succeeds, his sisters
look upon him as the most: wonderful
fellow in the world; and tliej cry ; in
real earnest when the wonderful boy
carries his pupil to town to be sold;
for sold these bullfinches are sure to
be as soon as they are taught, or else
exhibited.by tlmir owners as street
singers. Sometimes birdteachers are
known fax and wide for their skill and
success; and at Freiburg,: in . Baden,
.aiidTamili villages on the outskirts of
Black Forest, bullfinch-training is
practised as a regular business. In
such oases a small hurdy-gurdy, or
“bird organ” is used, as . being less
difficult aud--tiresome than the violin,
and instead of training one bird, they ,
teach the same tune to. a class of ten
ora dozen. -
Generally, the birds are sent 1 , to
London or Paris, where, if they have
learned their lessons thoroughly, they
are bought by rich folk, put into
beautiful cages and treated as pets,
whilst b.fhef bullfinches, having trifled
away they school-days and ouly half
laaivued their- tune; -live a vagrant life

But it has ! keea lost labor; in almost

over education. A story is told of -finie;
of these young men who), by hjs piety
and applieationy fitted .liussdf 4er ad^

clergy, and then, filled with patriotic
zeal, rejoined his tribes that he might

Tke Alta-Californian says: The
celebrated box and bag mystery,
Whicii has bewildered all London, put
New Yorh ip a fever of excitement,
and for a i^^l^^^^zzled the know-
ing ones of San Frnnciseo, has by ac
cident come to an untimely end. Thr
eat was let out of the bag. Monday
night at the California theatre,.
The tripfc is to overepme an appa
rent impossibility. A person securely
t ied in a sack is to pass fro in that con
finement to, the inside of a. locked
box, additionally secured by strong
cords wonnd around, and the knots of
the cords tied and sealed. The bag is
similarly secured by the mouth; being
tied with ropes and the knots of the ;
ropes sealed with wax. How, then, is
it possible to effect a 1 * exchange from
a secure . bag feo a still more secure
box? This is what the Professor does
—in the dark—and leaves for the au
dience to bring the light if they can.
Some of them did so on Monday
night. Those who were seated on the
right-hand side of the parquette, near
the stage, saw.the vigorous investiga
tion made by one of the inspectors;,
he wore number nines, double soled,
and investigated with his foot—dis
turbed the pieces ol thick wood form
ing the end of the box; disturbed it in
such a fashion that • the beholders
dropped on the little trick. How?—
Why, the sol'd piece of wood at the
end, securely nailed and screwed, was
bogus as to size and seeurings; in
stead of taking up the whole space at
the end, and apparently held by strong
screws, it was in two parts, with a
space of an^nch between, and this va
cant space hid by the broad iron bands
securing it; the screws are only heads,
and do not penetrate; by lifting this
board it comes out of a socket in
which it. fits snugly, and in which it is I
held by a spring; when lifted it swings
like a gate, pushing to the inside of
the box. Now, with this aperture dis
covered, it is only necessary to find
the person who can push aside the
ropes, crawl in and replace tlie ropes,
and push the wood back into its
place, making ‘it appear like tlie solid
end Agam! The seals have not’ been
disturbed, nor the rope cut, nor the
knots untied, nor-tke loteks picked.
Granted. Now, how does- this per
son escape from the sack,, leave 'the
kiiots (undisturbed,. the saek uncut,
and take advantage cf even the sim
ple plan of getting into the solid
wooden box? Not very, easily, even
by the- plan, suggested by- the New
York papers, but with ye.iy little diffi
culty; if tire person was concealed in
the Turkish (Costume a duplicate bag,
with duplicate knots and duplicate
seal; then it is only necessary to cut 1
asunder the confining saek, hide it in
the recesses ot the- garment ’ from
which the other one is taken, crawl
into the box, and await the result.
This latter discevery was made at the
previous exhibition, when the bag
was returned from the audience. A
careless throw sent it just to the foot-
fi<^ts.''and before it&oujd be- rescued
was slightly scorched by ther gas
flames.,-When the Frick was completed
the'bag remaining was not scorched.
Add jhus is exploded a r^ystei-y that
was incomprehensible until a kick of

may well startle even those who have
long since come to the conclusion that
6.000 years carry us bat a small way
back to the original home. In factin
Mr. Wallace’s reckonings/6,000 year3
are but a day. He begins .by com-
plainiug of the timidity of scientific
men when treating this subject, and
points ont the fallacy of always pre
ferring the lowest estimate, in’ order
to be “on the safe side.” He declares
that all the evidence tends’ to show
show that the safe side is probably
with the large figures.
He reviews the various attempts to
determine the antiquity of human re*-
mains or works of art, and finds the
bronze age in Europe to have been ac
curately fixed at 3,000 to 4,000 years
ago, the stone age of the Swiss Lake
dwellings at 5,000 to7,p00 years “and
an indefinite anterior period.” The
burnt brick found sixty feet deep in
the Nile alluvim indicates an antiqui
ty of 20,090 years; another fragment
seventy-two feet gives 30,000 years
ago.” A.human skeleton, found at
a depth of sixteen feet below four bu
ried forests superposed upon each
other, has been Calculated by Dr.
Dowle_- to have antiquity of 50,000
years. But all these estimates pale
before those which Kent’s Cavern in
Torquay legitimates.
Here' the drip of the slalagraite is
the cheif factor of onr computation s,
giving us upper floor which * ‘divides
the relics, of the last two or three
thousand years from a deposit full of
bones of extinct mammals, many of
which, like the riendeer, mammoth,
and glutton, indicates an Arctic cli
mate. Names cut into this stalagmite
more than two hundred years ago,
are still legible; in other words,
where the stalagmite is twelve feet
tluck, and the drop still copious, not
more than a hundredth of a foot has
been .deposited in two centnries=^a
rate of five feet in 100,000 years.
Below this, we haye a thick, much
older and more crystalline (i. e. more
slowly formed) stalagmite, beneath
which again, “ia .a solid breceis, yery
different from the cave-earth, un
doubted works of ayihave been found. ”
Mr. Wallace assumes ; only 100,000
years for the upper floor, and about
250.000 for the lower, and adds 150,-
000 for the intermediate cave earl h, by
which he arrives at the “sum of half a
million as representing the years that
have probably elapsed since flints of
"human workmanship were buried iu
the lowest deposits of Kent’s Cavern.”

- Large or Small Farms.
Theimpression seems to be very gen
eral, saysnn agricultural writer, that a
small farm must he well tilled, and a
large oue skimmed over hastily and
negligently. The tillage does not de^
pand so much upon the size of the
“'arm as the character of its 6wner.
We have seen steal} farms well man
aged: There is no general rule about
this. A shiftless man owning fifty
acres may sit smoking in the bonse
after dinner, muttering in his dreamy
reveries occasionally, “I wish them
potatoes were hoed.” If he farmed
a thousand .acres he might possibly
be roused to more energy, bnt we
shonld expest shiftless management
whether he owned one, one hundred
or one thousand acres,
Whether a man should oultiyatp »
small or large farm depends oa «ir.
cnmstances and the circumstance of the
most importance is his own executive
is his own executive abilitySome
men pan manage a tjipusand acres
with more ease than others can twenty.
We have seen a small farmer fret over
his one hired man, feqnently chang
ing his workmen, and finallyresolring
never to hire another, do what work
he could himself and let the rest, go.
Such persons should never undertake
to manage a large farm. We have in
our eye another farmer who is never
more in his element than when he has
four or five teams and a gang of twen
ty men about him. Both horses and
men seem to feel the inspiration of |
his presence. The horses go on qnick-
step smoking around the lot while tlie
men obey his slightest nod and work
with an energy thats tells in its re
sults. The work on his farm is so
systematized it. goes on in his ab
sence almost as well as when h?
is at home. Who says “ten acres
Aye enough” for a person cf such ex
ecutive ability.
Whether the farm should be large
or small will depend also somewhat on
the branch of farming pursued. A
dairy farm must necessarily be larger
thau one designed for fruit and vege
tables. A large dairy ea¬ be com
pressed into a few acres, while almost
any amount of labor can be expended
on a small track farm. Near, a city,
or wherever real estate is high, it
would be folly to run either a large or
small grain farm. Twenty bnsfeels of
wheat-, forty of oats, or a hundred of
coin might not pay even the interest
on such land. The true principle is
for every mau to measure his land by
his mental and pecuniary capital, and I
by other incidental circumstances
which may effect liis success and the
weal of the community.
