When it was time to call for the reck oning William Scott dropped a guinea. Ho and his brother searched for it in vain and came to the conclusion that it had fallen between the boards of the uucarpeted floor. “This is a bad job," said William, ‘we must give up the play.” “Stop a bit,” said John. “I know a , trick worth two of that,” and he calk'd a waitress. “Betty,” said he. "w< ‘ve dropped 2 guineas. See if you can find them. ” Betty went down on her hands and knees and found the guinea, which had rolled under the fender. “That's a very good girl, Betty,” said John Scott, pocketing the coin, “and when yon find the other you can keep it for ymir trouble. ” And the pru dent brothers went with light hearts to the play and so eventually to tbo bench and the woolsack. I'i«h In Icebound Water*. Fish do not breathe air, but the life supporting constituent of a>r—oxygen gas —which is s iluble in water to the extent of three volumes in 100 at ordi nary temperatures and four in 100 at freezing point. The water containing the dissolved oxygen is made to pass over the gills, where it is separated from the blood only by a very thin membrane, through which the gas is able to pass. Fish in icebound rivers have to de pend entirely upon this store of oxygen for their respiration, and if it becomes exhausted they are suffocated, just as we should be if deprived of oxygen. It rarely happens, however, that any considerable area of water is entirely covered with ice, especially in the case of rivers. Holes and cracks are almost sure to occur here and there, by which the oxygen of the air can reach the wa- I ter and become dissolved in it. Daring I a Jong frost fish may always be found congregated beneath air holes in large numbers. They are there to breathe.— i Exchange. Early I no of Tobacco. 1 have heard my grandfather say that ! one pipe was handed from man to man ; round about the table. They had first i silver pipes; the ordinary sort made use l of a walnut .-hell and a straw. Tobacco i was sold then for its weight in silver. I I have heard some of our old yeomen neighbors say that when they went to i Malmesbury or Chippenham market I they culled out their biggest shillings to lay in the scales against the tobacco. Sir W. R., standing in a stand at Sir Robert Poyntz s park at Acton, took a pipe of tobacco, which made the ladies quit it until lie had done.—“ Brief Lines Set Down by John Aubrey,” 1669-9(5.

Fihtoii : Some years ago 1 took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say, in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly w ;■'■!, I ' . i i;-! it - ■ ‘l ■ cat tic, sheep and hogs, and is the best tor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county, There are a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost inc over $3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from $25 down to $4 per acre—saying altogether,about $lO per acre, without improvements ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at $lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at $lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50to another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a hat or box, and drawn out und r approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, ut some stated time, so that all shall have a fdr chance to get a home at a low price, ami no »ne has a chance oflosing their nt >ney, ■ r failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles ft' m .Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to ma:ket gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it offers a fine p irtunity Dr a<■ >’.ony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best <-f pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar ; in fact, it is the best place 1 know of, and 1 am satisfied the ed- ■ say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. I have also a farm of 50 acres near Barnesville for sale, on good terms. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses sion ot one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned ami are as go ■ I as gold. S. B. BURR, Sr, Barnesville, Ga.
