about aroae among the children, in

noiaeall Ihia time, but the particular
about bout all tho ahoiiting ever heard

to tbe apot. At thul liaiticulur pluce
unne nf the children bad loll in their
banda any of the gilta id the tree, but
their mnutha were full, and Ihey were
duncing, and laughing, and clapping
their handa, and ahnuliiig like wild.
One little li'llow had hidiioti behind a
tree away from hiafellowaund aecrelly
put an elephant into Ilia mouth. To
hia great wonderment he diaonvered it
to be tho aweeteat morael that ever

py aa huppy could be ; bo happy that
they forgot fur tbe moment the little
atranger, Alaal when they thought of
turning their eyes to him, lie und hia tree

waa turned to aorrow. For long, long
days they wandered along the nhorca
id the ocean in aearuh of him. In tho
morning alter every storm they would
aeek the coat, boning to find him, or
they would atami for bourn nn tbe
beach, and, shading their oye Imm the
nun, look over the bmud waters ua if
awaiting him. But all in vain. If be
bud only It It behind him a aprig of bin
green tree, for you know, all the heuu

bud moiled away, mil like the magic

how. They wero very tinhuppy, and

PROFITS OF FARM IS G.

Sroai bit ipfoob at tha Natl York Dtlr; Fair.
A" an example of what may be ibe
profits nf the smaller industries of farm
ing, which, hy the farmers of tbe Uni.
led Stales are reckoned almost value
less, il is an astonishing fact thai in
the year of 1806 France exported as
much in value of eggs to England alone
as wo exported of bacon and bams,
one nf our chiel exports of previsions
in 18li8; thai ia to aay, in round num.
hers, a.l.OOO.OOO. while we exported
eggs to the pultry number of 412 doz
ens. No mun who has not seen these
ri.Mir.-a who baa not examined tbe
agricultural production !' France,
can believe that the 38 000,000 ol
her inhahiianis, on a territory so
"mull as Ui give only three and a half
acres U an inhabitant, pould vie, in ag
ricultural proilueliona, save cotton uml
tobacco, with a nation liko ours, of
about tho aumu number of inhabitant",
whoso territory gives mora than fifty
acres lo each inhabitant, or heal ly seV
t nteon times as much land lor cultiva
tion. Another and more certain test ol tho
distribution ol wealth in France is seen
iulhis: Th population being divided
into 9 000,ti00 lumilies, allowing lour
lo tho hitnify. which is nearly tho ratio,
1,000, OliO of those fumiliea, or 4,000.000
i,iHiople,aroineusy ein-uinslunc.es; that
is, able lo live without work or business.
Of ihe roniaining 8 000,000, which msy
ho said lo be coni,Kised ol the indus
triul and working classes, 3,000,000 only
are inhubiluiila ol tho toiiwa. Thai i,
of the whole population, iwofiflhs of
the people in Franca live in tha cities
ami three filths livo in the country.
This gives a very surprising result as
compared wilh England, where four
filths of the whole people live in town
and one fifth only in tho country. Wo
huvo yet no data wilh which 1 am ac
quainted to make a like comparison
with una country, i nore are iican
(1 0U0 000 houses in France, tho great
est pari Of them cottages, wilh small
plots ol land, nearly me wuoiooi in in
number are small Irechulders belong
ing to thoir occiipsnls.
Alter bearing theso statistic the
question arises, how at these very
groat results possible? What is the
secret? It is tho thomunh cultivation
..f her soil. Of her 132 000 000 acres
61 000.000 are arable ; 12,000,000 only
are in meadows, nr, aa we say, Ileitis
and grass ; 6,000 000 in vineyard ; 1,.
AOil 000 in orchards and gardens ; 2,
'.'An OHO in miscellaneous crops; 20,
000,000 In wiaid and forest ; 500,000 in
ponds ; 20 000,000 only may be called
hoath or WB"to lands, the remainder
being lor mads, public sqnaroa canals
und pleasure gnuinda about 7,000,000
acres. Thua it will appear that two
thirds of ihe Brea ol France is undor
actual cultivation every' year. But tha
question slid rccunCbf "n tbi be
possible? Tho answer is, it become
mi.siblo because ot tho minute snhdt-
i . ,i . , 1 1
vision nl the land, me small treeuoiua
into which all France is divided.
Loft to heraelf, nature is always
more or less civilized, and delights in
a certain refinement; but wbrra the
axo has encioached upon th edge of
the forest, the dead and unsightly
limbs of the pine, whlrb she had con
cealed with green bank of verduro,
ar expiated Ui eight.
Never tiusl Ibis heart of tbina ibat
il will bo ordered, and kept ta good
frame, If thou carry rot always a
strong hand and a narrow rye over it.
If tsice thou let go tbe bridle of WU fa
mines, it will run oat so far that it
will ba burd to bring it back again.
Nothing is easier lo men of genius,
nothing mors certainly a proof and
part ol it than to tomiHste what mates
meii'a wander and admiration j noth
ing mora difficult than to abow tbrm
distinctly lha simplest and moat obvi
ous train.
