His end was peace, The Growth of Weeds Persons frequently express surprise at tho universality, as it were, ol weeds, A careful cultivator will keep a field freo from weeds by frequent culliva. tion and hand hoeing through an en tire season, and as nono aro allowed to go to seed he may look for a clean field tho following year, whether cultivated or not. But those who expect to see land entirely cleaned of weeds and all its weed seeds by individual effort, aro likely to be disappointed in their ex pectations. JUany seeds will livo in tho soil for a long time, just how long has not been determined, but in tho caso of certain kinds of seeds, several years. Speaking in a general way, tho ground is full of weed seeds j they aro blown about by tho winds, washed from place to placo by froshets and by heavy showers, carried to now locations by buds and animals, and like the rent in the boy a coat, "it was Intro bo foro." Very few realize thu extent of fo cundity or prolificanoy iu many of our common weeds, or how rapidly a stock may bo multiplied trom a singlo plant, At both tho New York and tho Ohio Experiment Stations this subject has I ecu investigated with much care. Dr. iSiuitevant found a vigorous plant of tho Purslane family that had nino branches : an averaco branch had fif ttcn braiichlets ; an averago branohlot had 212 seed eap.suhs, and ono seed capxulu had seventy-five seed.', making tho lulo numlcr by computation 2, MGjOO. A fair t-lool of chrss had 3,- Y'Js wri!, plantain 4,488, ox eyo daisy uii,uuu, curled dock !)3,auu. Tlio bol aniht at the Ohio station found by com, piictation that an average thistle tiro uucex over o.i.uuu fcciIs j a dandelion J 2,000.

Wu havo found by computation that single iiiants ot cither may produce from a li.'Ht million to n million seeds. An aero of land contains 43,500 nmn o fott. It will bo seen that a ni'glc plant in eoino cases may pro duct) ivl enough in a season to allow n half dozen or inoro teeiln each square fool of an acre of land. How then van wo wonder at tho rapid increase of wei ( under ordinary careless culture, where lliniii'aiidd aro annually allowed to mature their seeds on almost every aoio oi cultivated land iv.Ji warmer. Georgia's Hocking Bird Bales. Many mocking birks aro shipded from Atlanta every season lo tho Ninth and West.

Un tho other hand, in other avocations' tho losses nro often enormous. Tho failuro df n singlo mining or manufacturing cnloipnsc not infrequently Involves tlio total ruin of all connected with it. In' soirio forms of manufacturing, commercial and mining activity, safety and success teem reasonably certain. lJut theso. aro not tlio great enterprises which cantivato tho imagination. They nro rather operations conducted after tho modest, plodding fashion of ordi rinry agriculture. In manufactures it is tho small mechanic who earns a steady living and lays by a small sin plus for lus children, who is tho most favored of his class. In commerco tho safest business is douo by tho small trader, especially in tuo country, where, all his customers nro personally known to him. As a medium of exchange between country and city, between the farm and tho factory, ho barely earns an honest living lint tako theso traders alto getber, and tho net results of their la bor and capital invested averago better thirt thoso of tho moro ambitious who seek tho' higher positions. In mining, too, tho safest investment is whero tho baser metals, iron, lead and copicr,and coal to work them, arc concerned. It would seem to follow from simple ana logy tliat agriculturo itself becomes hazardous, as it expands into bonanza farming, and the herding ol uncounted cattle On vast ranges. Of course, thero could bo no trado or manufactures without farming as a baBis, and the rudesffofm" of agricul ture, tho gathering of tho spontaneous fruits of tho earth, is tho foundation of every iridUBtry. But this docs not jus tify tho farmer' in taking thosd risks in other forms of industry which he too often incurs. When farmers loso mon oy it is not usually in tho pursuit of agriculturo; but of something elso. Tho farmers of tho conntry would bo richer if they had confined themselves to farming and not taken (stock in somo railroad or manufacturing company, or, worse still, 'in somo mine which they never saw. The desiro to get enormous profits, to find n fortuno instead of oarning it, is. as old. as tho human race, Top often tho farmer who will take a week in considering, tho valuo of a cow ho desires to purchaso of n neighbor, and then disagrees on n dollar or two iu tho price, will invest his hundreds and his thousands, if he has them, in tho "Great Bottomless Gold Mine," situated in tho Mountains of tho Moon. It, is this spirit of speculation, or tho desiro to get something out of nothing, which in fntal. Tho raising of ono $5,000 dolt has demoralized whole com munities. Tho sales by somo fancy cattle breeder, whero a heifer brings 81,000, .the exceptional profits of a sin glo hop or tobacco crop anything which wins a prize, liko n successful lottery ticket too often brings on tho delirium of speculation. The farmer should bo' tho last man in tho world to incur theso gamblers' risks. His school ing unfits him for tho excitement of such games. The rewards of his labors' aro found in tho quiet of rural life, do mestio comfort, tho sanctities of home. Tho feverish spirit ot speculation should havo no place ninid such placid A .1!

Doubtless it was to Donna Marina, Cortez's guido and in terpreter, for hero alio is regarded al most as a saint tho Indian Kgcria, tho first Christiau woman of tho Mex ican empire. Tiuc, hcra wag a sort nf Christianity which would not stand tho test of nineteenth century ideas, but, was not unusual in licr day, and prob ably sho would now bo quite a saint if sho had not fallen from her high cslato in tho conqueror's favor, though through 110 iault ot her own, nnd be como afterward a commonplace wife and mother. History tells us that sho wont rclunctaiitly and with many tears to tho husband whom (Jortez chose when ho wished to get rid of her, bo eauso his own wife aud children wero coining from Cuba. Poor Donna Ma 1 ina 1 Certainly her lot was not a hap py one. Sho was born at I'ainala, a village of tho provinco of Cuatzacnalco. Her father was lord of many cities, and alio fell into a condition of slavery tlirough tho tieaohery of her own mothor, who remarried nfter tho death of Marina's father. Bestowing all her affections upon tho sun of her second marriage, thu unnatural mother deter mined; iu concert of tho boy's father, that all their wealth should pass to him It chanced that tlio daughter of one of their slaves died, upon which they' gavo out that the corpse was that of their own daughter, and pre tended to mourn for her, meanw hilo selling her, a la Joseph, to some mer chants of Gicalauco. TIiojo traders disposed of her to their neighbors, tho Tabascans, who gavo her to Cortex soon after his arrival in Mexico. Sho is said to havo been beautiful, of great talent and versed in many dia lects. Through her devotion to Cortex sho proved a faithful friend lo tho Spaniards, serving an their interpreter in all negotiations with tho various In dian tribes. Sho ncoompanied Cortcz iu his expeditious. Ho followed her advice implicitly, and moro than once, when acting ns guido or spy, sho saved tho little band from annihilation. In deed, in tho whole history of tho con quest, "Donna Marina'' played a most important part, and to lur more than to any other ono person U duo the sub jugation of tho Slexican empire. Ber nal Diaz, Cortcz' friend and insepara ble companion, writes that tho number of "wives" tfltich tho conqueror and his officers acquired in tho now world was so great that they were obliged to brand tiiem with heated irons, like cat tie, in order to distinguish each man his own property. Hut after the brand ing these numerous spouses wero all duly baptized. Cortez died a disap pointed man.

It is related that when Cortez went to Honduras hia fnir interpreter met thero her truil ty relatives, who wept at her feet, fear ing sho would havo rovengo for their cruel treatment. But, instead of bar boring vengeance, sho oxprossed thank fulness for tho troachery which had re sulted in her elevation, and rewarded them with many gifts. Tho Spaniard to whom Cortez married her niter tho conquest was Captain Don Juan do Jaramillo, and her slrango career out! ed in domestic quietude.
