J. J. 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.

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

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. Yery truly, your friend,
A. LINCOLN."
