Thomas says he kpows a farmer over sixty years old, who has worked hard for more than fcrty years. lie bepan with a good one hundred and fifty aero farm given him, but subject to an incumbrance of about one-third its value. 'J his was a good start. lie is after a lapse of forty years, still in debt. 110 is temperate ; had he not been, his farm would have gono long ago. lie has worked hard ; had ho not, he must bave failed. He has been economic al, in its common meaning, or he nev-1 er would have kept even with his j creditors. What, then, has kept him back in the world? Mr. Thomas has been figuring up, and finds that he has vir tually sunk three good estates by want of management - First. In wintering his cattle and sheep. lie kept generally, about twenty cattle and one hundrd sheep. The cattle trod about three tons of hay under foot each year, and con sumed half a ton each extra by ex posure to the winds, in all thirteen ions, worth §11). This exposure of cattle and cilves reduced their size and market value one-hird—anual increase, six head, and average val ue lost, $8 each—s4B. Ten per ct. of his sheep and lambs were lost bv want of shelter, and the clip was di minished 25 per cent- from the same cause—total loss on sheep, per an num, £oo. The whole yearly loss on cattle and sheep was, therefore, $lB9. In forty years this annual loss, with compound interest, would amount to about &,35,000. Thus one fortune has been sunk. Secondly. In want of a good ro iaticnof crops. Heratseo wheat after wheat, oats after oats, corn after corn, because the stubble was most easily pi: wed, till his land was ex hausted aud lull of weeds. The crops, as a whole, scarcely paid his labor. A good rotation would have safely given him one-third more, which would have been a clear gain, on an average, of at least §5 an acre, •on about fifty acres, yearly—total, .-250 a year. This loss repeated for forty years, and interest, would amount to more than §50,000! — 'i'his was the second fortune sunk. Thirdly. In raising crops of weeds. Some of his pasture fields had a heavier growth of mulleins, rag-weed, johnswort and thistles, than of grass ; consequently, at least half land was wasted to grow them. On fifty acres of pasture, at least §2 each were yearly wasted, to say noth ing of the loss of grain by the Cana da thistle patches, in retarding growth and preventing clean harvest ing, and his greatly diminished crop of corn b fox-tail and pig weed.— The annual loss from weeds was, therefore, at least §lO0 —the amount of which, with interest, in forty years would be §20,000. The third fortune. Genesee Farmer. VISITING\M7NG FARMERS . This may seem to some a very un suitable topic for this busy time of the year. On the contrary, it is es pecially seasonable Most farmers make life too much drudgery for themselves and for their children— by working hard from morning until night, and from week to week, with no recreation, they become dull, and <lo not accomplish so much as they would with a little timely relaxation ; "all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." Nor do they enjoy life nearly so wcl'. They doubtl ss say to their souls, "I must work hard now, and lay up money against a time of need, or against old age ; then I will rest and enjoy myself." They forget that they are meanwhile wearing out their faculties of enjoy ment, and are acquiring habits which will unfit them for anything but an old age of continurl toil. Let farm «rs bear in mind, too, the effect of such a life on their children. As to the way in which farmers shall get recreation, wo are not dis posed to be particular. Some choose to get it in one way, and some in ano ther. One very good - method is to make up an occasional pic nic. Fix on a pleasant afternoon, and take the whole family to some neighboring jjrove, where tho children can romp, where the old folks can rest, and all can have a good supper. If several families can unite, it will be all the better. Another way, is to make short visits to the neighbors. To do this, it will not be needful to consume a whole day ; this would be an unnecessary loss to you and a bore to your neighbor. But seize on the broken, half-days, or even the hour after tea, and ride over to ueighbor A's, or neighbor D's. He will be glad to show you his stock and his crops, and his orchard. You will learn something from him, and he from you. At any rate, you will get recreation, and will return to your home and your daily labors with new gest THE LANGUAGE OF FMWEBS AND FRUITS. —The lilac in April—"Give me leave."

The cabbage in December—"My heart's my own." —lt is-said the venerable Judge Bur nett, first President of the Republic of Texas, has consented togo to Washington city, and make an appeal in behalf of Jeff. Davis. The request waa made by men who were all giants wten the South fought for Independence. A Leaf in History Supported. The intelligent reader will have no dif ficulty in recalling to mind the early sta ges of the rebellion, whereof Fort Sum ter was the most conspicuous figure.— There were two attempts to relieve the fort, both ot which failed. one of these, Captain Fox, the Assistant Secre tary of the Navy, became idcntiSed. An official report has just been published, showing what this plan was, who opposed I it, and why it failed of execution. The I plan of ('apt. FOIL was to send men and provisions to the fort by boats. Of course the boats would be exposed to the rebel batteries on both sides of the harbor, but the experience of the war shows that they could easily have gone iu. General Scott first favored it, but becamo convin ced that the enterprise was a desperate one, and opposed it. President Buchan an also feared to give the project his sanc tion. When ?Ir. Lirao'.n b-'came Presi dent the scheme to relieve Sumter was renewed, and Captain Fox visited Wash ington to see about it. He says he found "there was great opposition to any attempt at relieving Fort Suuiter, and that Mr. Blair alone sustained the President in his policy of refusing to yield." The ex pression of Captain Fox is not clear, but wo suppoto lie means that Mr. Blair was tlio only member of the Cabinet who agreed with Mr. Lincoln that Fort Sum ter should not be surrendered without a struggle. Under Mr. Lincoln's instruc tions he visited the fort. On the way to Charleston lie traveled with a former Southern member of Congress, and nt Florence Station they met Lawrence 51. Kcitt. Captain Fox says: " lie welcomed Mr. Holmes very warm ly, and inquired with great anxiety wheth er Sumter was to be given up. Holmes said : 'Yes. I know it,' which seemed to give Mr. Iveitt much satisfaction, but he insisted upon knowing his authority. Mr. Holmes said: 'I have the highest author ity for what I say aud upon Mr. Keitt agaiu asking,'Who?'he leaned toward him. At that moment the engine whis tle gave a screech for starting, so that the conversation closed, and 1 lust the name." If it had not been tor the inopportune blowing of that whistle, wo should now bo in possession of an important item of secret history. Captain Fox was convin ced, at Fort Sumter, that his plan was practicable, but he did not concert mat ters witli Major Anderson, lie learned from Anderson, however, that the 15th of April was the time, beyoud which, if sup plies were not furnished, the fort could not be held, it was resolved to make the attempt to supply it. The recollection of the excitement made throughout the coun try by Captain Fox's preparations in New Yolk,must rocur to millions very vividly, in thinking over the events of that peri od. Colonel H. L. Scott, Aid of General Scott, caused the expedition a half day's delay, lie proved to be a rebel sympa thizer, aud is suspected of having Berved the rebels as a spy. When the expedi tion arrived off Charlestou the bombard ment had already commenced. An at tempt would have been made to send in reinforcements; but, in the first place, there was a very heavy sea. Then, the Powhattan sloop-of-war was not sent, though promised, being detained by "su perior authority." The Powhattan car ried the sailors aud launches that were essential to the execution of the plan.— The failure of the Powhattan was owing to an order, inadvertently signed by Mr. Lincoln, authorizing Lieut. 1). D Porter to take any vessel of the Government aud proceed to the Gulf of Mexico. Porter took the Powhattan. The steam-tugs that were engaged, and that were to form a part of the expedition, did not come to baud until it was too late. Capt. Rowan, of the Pawnee, on nearing Charleston, wished to push into the fight with his ship, but was overruled. The expedition as everybody knows, did not accomplish anything, and was only important as show ing that the authorities were not disposed to allow the secessionists to continue their work unopposed. The following letter from President Lincoln closes this chap ter of official history: PRESIDENT LINCOLN TO CAPTAIN FOX. "WASHINGTON, May 1, 1861. " Captain G V. Fox : "MY DEAR SIR : —I sincerely regret that the fadure of the late attempt to pro vision Fort Sumter, should be the source of any annoyance to you. The practica bility of your plan was not, in lact, bro't to a test. By reason of a gale, well kuuwn in advance to be possible, and uot impro bable, the tugs, an essential part ol the plan, never reached the ground, while, by an accident, for which you were in no wise responsible, and possibly I to some extent was, you were deprived of a war vessel, with her men, which you deemed of great importance to the enterprise. " I most cheerfully and truthfully de clare that the failure of the undertaking has not lowered you a particle, while the qualities you developed in the effort have greatly heightened you in my estimation. For a daring or dangerous enterprise, of a similar character, you would, to-day, be the man, of all my acquaintances, whom I would select. You and I both antici pated that the cause of the country would be advanced by making the attempt to provision Fort Sumter, e\*a if it should fail; and it is no small consolation now to feel that our anticipation is justified by the result.
