Time.
In all the actions which a man per
forms, some part of bis rife pusses. We
die while doing that for which alone our
sliding life was granted. Nay, though
we do nothing, time keeps his constant
puce, and flies as fast in idleness as in
employment. Whether we play, or
lalior, or sleep, or <lance, or study, the
sun posts on, and the sand runs. An
hour of vice is as long as an hour of
virtue. Hut the different*; between gissl
and bud actions is infinite. Good notions,
though they diminish our time here as
veil as bad tuitions, yet they lay up for
ns a happiness in eternity, nn-J xvill re
compense what tliey have taken away by
a plentiful return at itisf. When we
trade with virtue, we do but buy plea
sure at the expense of time. So it is not
so much a consuming of time ns an ex
change. As a man sows his corn, he is
content to wait a while, that he may, at
the harvest, receive with advantage.—

No. Rn-s I has no intent:.! of advanc

N mp'tation ti Ru-s:a than the almost
exhaast- d India. And ht.w e.tsy of ac

China intersected by railroads. Hussm
maveontr 1 a vast amount of commerce.
It is true "iutt there is a large ps.pol
lution of Miihamnie.iniiA in China ; that
the country is so thickly p. pmlut. 1 that
it cau pint into the field an aim ist un
limited aimy, but it must be taken into
consnh ration that the Chinese are not a
warlike tieople ; that they are very p<*>r
ly armt*l ntitl have n< lenders or gener
als. All of these facts were demon
strated in 1860 in tlie vxiir of Formosa,
and still later in tha Corean catnp>aign.
Nor would it be the interest of
Htigland toopptose llus-.au atlvnnce into
China, f- r naturally u great amount of
trade would find its wnv to her Indian
seajmrts, and though Russia may If a
mre dangerous neiglilior than China,
still she would certainly j>rove herself a
more profituble one.
In my opinion, therefore. Russia in
making war iipxiu Turkey, lias a two
fold object. First, by her advance into
Asia t-igain tlie right of way and pas
sage to China, UM<l second, by hor< peni
tions in Europe to obtain the freedom of
the Paiislavoni" States and make (Vin
stantinople a free and >sin"js>litan psrt.
She thus redeems her word in not ag
grandizing herself, but nt tho same
time paves tho wnv toward securing im
mense benefit. For in China everything
can be found that is needed in Europe.,
and her teas, wool, rice and cotton, not
to spwak of her minerals, can l>e ex
ported in su h large quantities nud in
siieli nn easy manner bv railroads, that
it will revolutionize the commerce of the
world.
I do not think that this war will be of
very long duration. Turkey baa n 1 ready
recognized 1IT own weakness, and as
soon as Russia has coneeutratoil-sufll
eient troopis on the Danube to le sure of
success in an advance I have no doubt
that after one or two decisive viebiries
jM'ace will be mtule on the basis
which I have already mentioned. Tur
key has bet n too dilatory iti attacking
Russia on the northern side of the
Danube before a sufficient force could
have been collected. It is now too late,
and the final result may be safely nntic
piateil.

1 .s perfect; although his face is seamed

poor woman by the roadside, who saluted

A grand jsai-e council was one of the

tin' other leaders of Ins nation to his
grand council U |H-es, there to talk over
a lasting peace and agency reforms. Two
immense tepees wen- placed aide by side
and made to furbish room for one hun
dred men. As the delilM-rators were
gathering in this gorgeously ruanieuted
ehumlsT, the muster of ceremonies and
an assistant were slaughtering dogs for
the feast which ulwav* follows such n
momentous carnival of orutorv. A raw
hide lariat was wound once rout.d the
neck of the animal, when a brawny
SIOUX tis'k hold at Citlli r end of th fatal
cord, pulled lm kward an 1 forward with
a "sv-siw " lie lion, and tints strm led

artistically curved. Thus al tit a di-z-ti
of tile largest of their Jicta w. Ie slaugh

which the chiefs in the army were im

to the center, and utt- ied a forcßde

A striking evidence of genufosity was
exhibited during the f'- ist. An old
Indian, ragged, wrinkled, and fairly
tottering ill his weakness, entered the

suffering. Little W. Un l puMe i off his

A ltoi's Trip I'nder u Wutcr-Whccl.

live years, had n very narrow escape
from death lately, says the New 1, union
T> hjfram. He turn playing on the em
bankment at the lower iml of Itrigg's

flume of the old oakum mill, ami was
carried rapidly down the stream, being
tossed about by the rushing waters like
' a chip. It was thought that when he
reached the old wheel his brains would
be dashed out against it, as the space
beneath wns not large enough to admit
of his passing safely through. Hut lie
shot under it like a Hah, and went under
the bridge nt Cedar street, and into the
trough through which the water is eon
ducted to Smith's organ factory. Here
he sneoeeded in clutching a joist fasten
ed across the trough, where heclung an
. til he was rescued. His first words,
i after he had been put in a place of
I safety, were : " Where'# my top ?"

It. F. YVu.i.s.
You do not state whether the rule de
sired is for corn in the ear or shelled
corn ; but if for the latter, obtain the
- umber of cubic inches in the lsix, or so
much ns is occupied by the corn; then
divide that by 21.V1.42, the number of
cubic inches in a bushel ; or yon can
first find the number of cubic feet, by
multiplying the length, breadth and
depth, and then dividing the iitiiiilier of
cuiiiofeet by seven and one-fourth (or
1,224) ; because n bushel contains alamt
one and one-fourth cubic feet. Corn in
tho cor varies according to varieties. Of
some it will tak" two bushels of ears to
make one of shelled corn; but with
others, one and n half bushels will
yigld this amount. For heaves turn tho
animal out to pasture whenever possible,
nnd in winter give laxative food, such as
carrots, turnips and bis'ts ; also spirinkle
hay and oats, and avoid dust food of all
kinds. Sedatives may also lie given,
such ns digitalis, opiium and belladonna

What is the cause of sap> running from
ajijile trer-H nnd killing the limbs ami
trunks of the trees where it tlows. I
have some trees that have been trimmed,
nnd where the branches have been cut
off they are partially healed over, when
a sour water will start out of the center
of the stump nnd will soon kill \ho por
tion of the tree over whieh it runs.
Sometimes tho trunk of the tree will
crack of itself, and thin soar water will
start from the crack. Can you tell ma
th" catinc and the remedy?
REPLY.—The mischief is caused by
too late pruning, and by not covering
the wounds with some impervious cont
ing. Sometimes no harm is done, but
when there is an excessive flow of sap it
exudes from the wounded surface, and,
containing considerable sugar, it Ik>-
comes sour nnd damages the bark over
which it flows. To prevent it the prun
ing should be done very early in, the
soring, and when any branches of con
siderable size are cut off they should be
cut very smoothly and even with tho
bark, and the stump lax covered with
ooluiuoli oil uud lead (uuiil or a costing
; of nliellae varnish.

A Haunted Clock.
There is a clock in Raleigh, N. C.,
owned by ft gentleman who is not at all
given to'siiperstition, but yet he cannot
account for a curious way his old family
clock is acting of late. It is an eight
.luy clock, but wind it up when yon may,
and at half-p'tist six o'clock on Saturday
evening that clock is dead sure to
stand still. It can be easily startexi
by moving the pendulum, and it will
then continue till it runs dowu. It has
been wound up from the eighth day to
with an hour of tho time, imt it never
fails to stop when it roaches the half-past
six hour mark ou Saturday evening.
This is strange and unaccountable, but
as true as gospel, according to the

years devoted himself to the collec
tion of rare and valuable pieces of
furniture and antiquities of various
kinds, and among bis collection which
he offers for sale, is ouo of tlie three
clocks invented by Dr. Benjamin Frank

the hour, and has only throe wheels, and
ou many occasions Air. Sly has received
tempting offers to part with it. The
dial is arranged to mark the time on tlie
system of the land watches in days gone

Saaan Wralkar.
A writer in the New York Sun gives a
granite account of his experiead* during
a trip in February aero** one of tlie
great plains of British North America.
He wa* accompanied by a stalwart
French half-breed, and had for convey
ance® two sledge* .Uswn by eight dogs.
At first the journey wa* pleasant enough,
and unattended by much inconvenience;
but tlie weather gradually became cold
or, and ou the afternoon of the sixth
day they were 4<iimpel'ed Ui halt on tlie
liari- plain, witli no tree* or other shelter
bandy. The writer goes on to say :
It wus alsmt sit o'clock in the evening
■ when, after scoo|iinga hole in the snow,
. aud building sis mt it a miniature em- -
! bankmeut of sleilge* and baggsge, we
1 lay down in <mr overcoat* *nd cap*, with
' the thermometer allowing thirtv-one de
grees below zero. Yet I luul IK> fear,
no Uionght even, of freezing to death.
Lying down, ss wo did, with stiffened
limbs and blistered feet, sleep came to
u* by the sheer force of fatigue.
I did ti'A awake until alxiut eleven
o'clock, when I waa a rousts 1 by a sliarp
blow from the half-breed, La vie. He
told me that it wa* growing much colder,
and that the wind had veered. Hastily
rising, we shifted about, niul then crept
back under the blanket*. La vie on the
windward side. 1 soon feel asleep.
I awoke again, a* nearly as I can judge
about lialf-|iost twelve oclock, to n gen,
eral consciousness of increasing ixibl. I
found myself shivering ail over. Upon
•{making to my eonijmnioii, I discovered
that be was with- awake ; be had tmeii
unable to aJeep. He told me lie had en
deavored to ooax tb' aledge iloga upon
the blauketa ; bnt, having been repeat
edly driven from that ooinfortablejKiai
tiou on prerioua nights, they had refusetl
hia overt area. The gale seemed to have
increased in violence, and the minnte
jiartielea of allow interfered ancomfort
itlijf with reapirotion. The cohl waa so
intense as to produce s stinging sensa
tion in the nostrils and a dryneas of the
limad whenever the heanl ws expisaxi.
I took tlie thermometer from the snow by
my head,and found it indicating, a* well
a* 1 could make out by the uncertain
light, forty-four degrees la- hear zero.
Covering ourSt-Hea up a* snugly a* pos
sible, an J lying close to each other, we
talked for a time alsmt the severity of
tlie storm, and its probable duration ;
then gradually reiajjaenl into silence. I
recall fee hug ibe skin on my anna and
limba ;it was cold to tb touch. My
is irna, too, were cohl, aud I seemed to
feel their articulation distinctly over
every portent of the body. They gave
me the unprearion of a foreign substance
which bad been introduced somehow into
the ffiwh, and which hod not a* yet been
raised to au equal temperature with the
bodily tmsure.
Boon I wa* conscious of growing
colder; my limbs, especially, felt heavier
and chillier. A peculiar sensation, as
if tlie tlesb for the de|th of a quarter or
half an inch was ftozeu solid and the
•vugesdment rapidly extending to the
bone, liegan to creep over me. The
I Minus Uiemaelvea at tim* felt like red
hot iron liars; then as sudd'-i.lv liecame
cold ftgftiu. I noticei, also, an increased
labor in the action of the heart, and
could distinguish tho pulsations very
isiaily. At evory throb I seemed to feel
the blaxl strike the end of the veins and
arteries iu the exti unties. This after a
time produce 1 a alight dizziness in the
head, and a labored reajiiration.
As the h-odeu IMMIN went oti, tlie
sensation of surface freezing, felt lief ore
iu the limbs, extemied to the trunk of
the body. My thoughts, hitherto so
veraxfilo, grew leas connected, changing
frtxrtientiy from subject to subject, and
finally narrowing down to my own
aufferingH. 1 noticed that Larie spoke
to me more frequently titan before, and
Nliook me repeatedlv. Yet even then I
had no thought of ({anger.
Daring Uii* whole time, covering z
period of two hours or more, I waa
xhivermg and ahokiug without iutermi*-
idon. I rejieatodlv endeavored to coo
trol my nerves, and lie quietly in one
pomtion ; but the effort, although de
termined, ww* of no avail ; iu a few
uiinutmi i was shaking a violently oa
lief on*. At loot i notijed that I waa
becoming qutt-U-r, but that the mental
suffering wa* greater. My only thought
now was to get warm. No earthly j**-
amrion waa too dear now to lie sacrificed
for host.
After the 'apoc of on hour, I U*gan to
get worm—that is, I had the sensation
•if returning warmth ami comfort.
Pinching the flesh in Severn 1 places pro
duced only a numb, prickly feeling,
•-imihu" to that when a limb ia asleep.
But I was comfortable and happy now,
becawte I was warm. I grew angry with
my companion because at tri* unwearied
thumps and the answers he required to
his questions. He Ixwod me. I wanted
to be let alone. I wanted to lie quite
still and dreum. Fully conscious that if
I went to sleep I should never awake, I
was perfectly willing, anxious, to go to
sleep. I even recall picturing drowsily
to myself how I should look in the
morning when I was dead.
A* I grew warmer, I ceased to pay at
tention to the thnmpings of my com
panion, ar to hia quoKtiaus. I gathered
myself up and lay thinking how com
fortable I woo. Pretty soon I began to
doze, then to awnke suddenly, when I
received a more severe blow than usual.
I awoke once more, to see the half breed
Hitting up and U'tiding eagerly over my
free—and then I was dead. Sensation,
volition, all intelligence, had left me.
In thirtr or forty minute*, an hour at
most, the paralvws would extend from
the brain into itie spinal system, stop-
Ennr the function of respiration, and the
iving action would cvat-i* for good.
From tliis living,death I was aroused
by what seemed to me n most unpro
vufcad assault. The powerful half breed,
holding me in an iron grasp by the col
lar, waa engaged iu kicking and cuffing
my limp 1 nuly in the moat savage manner.
Several times I liecame conscious of
undergoing this severe treatment, only
to drop down and fall asleep again the
moment he relaxed his hold. At length,
however, he persistently kicked and
cuffed me until, annoyed beyond en
durance, I lieg&n feebly to retaliate.
Yet it was fully half an hour before I
began in the least to onmprehend that
anything extraordinary laid occurred.
True, I saw a tire blazing brightly,
ulxrat which I was curled in a semi-circle.
I saw La vie examining my hands and
feet carefully. I saw that the bedding,
with the exception of tlie robe I lay
upon, was thrown aside, yet 1 felt no
surprise or curiosity.
After a time, however, I regained con
sciousness sufficiently to understand
that, finding me fast freexjng, and not
to le awakened, tlie half breed had hast
ily mode a fire of one of tho sledges, the
heat of which he had augmented consid
erably by feeding it with the pemmican,
which was more than half buffalo fat,
ami burned readily. He luul then drag
ged me, totally unconscious, to the fire,
and proceeded to beat and cuff me back
to life.
An lowa Fish Storv.
The Dubuque Time* tella the following
storv: " Two young gentlemen who took
a fishing excursion down the river liav
' ing fallen short of bait, commenced using
the eves of the dead fish already caught.
One of the fish caught on this bait strug
gled so hard tliut the hook {accidentally
fastened iu one of its eyes and tore it out .
Tip* paiu occasioned by this accident
made the fish struggle o'ill more, and at
last it slipped from tlie brihermau's hand
t and escaped to its natirg element. The
disgusted fisherman reuie *d the eye of
the fugitive, applied it v i tlie hsok, and
again launched his line otto the water.
Only a short time elapsed and he had a
bite, and jerking his line ont 4)1 the
water he was surprised to find the iden
tical fish which had eluded his grasp a .
few minutes before, and which perished
by swallowing its own eye."
