Tlie Fishing' Telescope.
Every Norwegian fishing boat is furnished with
..i,at is termed a Water Telescope, and which is
neutered almost as indispensable as the" boat !
itself- A ,,Js i eiescope consists 01 a tuoe tnree
or four feet long, containing the proper glasses,
nd made water tight. When the fishing, ground
rPiched they immerse one end of this telescope i
jsreauucu j r j
jn , he water, and look through the glass, winch
shows objects some ten or fifteen lathoms deep as
distinctly as if they were within afoot of the sur-
face, by which means, when a shoal offish comes
into their bays tho Norwegians instantly prepare
their nets, man their boats, and go out in pursuit,
The lirst process is minutely to survey the ground
nh their glasses, and where they find the fish
Arming about in great numbers, then they give
,ipnal, and surround the fish with their large i
uBht net, and often cateh them in hundreds at :

adopted by the Scoteh fishermen on the Tay, and
bv its assistance they have been enabled to dis
cover stone9, .holes, and uneven ground, over
which their nets travel, and have found the teles

The EiioBi's Share.
The old saying of the Lion's share meaning
the better part of anything, or all that is valuable
of it, is founded upon the following fable of Phaed-
XUg, oriEsop, we forget which :
" A leopard, a lynx, and a wolf were ambitious
of the honor of hunting with the lion. His savage
majesty graciously condescended to their desire,
and it was agreed that they should all have an
equal share in whatever might be taken. They
srour the forest, are unanimous in the pursuit, and
a.'.er a very fine chase, pulled down a noble stag.
It was divided with great dexterity by the lynx
;:.to four equal parts ; but as each was going to
secure his share. 'Hold !' said the lion ; 4 let no
one presume to serve himself till he hath heard
our just and reasonable claims; i seize upon the
I first quarter by virtue of my prerogative ; the sec
ond I think is due to my superior conduct and
courage ; I cannot forego the third on account of
the necessities of my den; and if any one is in
clined to dispute my right to the fourth, let him
speak.' Awed by the majesty of his frown and
the terror of his paws, they silently withdrew, re
solving never to hunt again but with their equals.'
This fable teaches a good moral. There are
many lions in the community like the above, but
totalization of power among the masses leaves
liem nothing but the disposition to grasp every -
thing; the ability to do it having -been taken from
phem.

- Tlie Potato Rot.
In '1844'the potato "crop was attacked with
this disease in tho state of New York ; and
having something of a crop planted that year,
1 felt a aood deal of solicitude to ascertain the
cause and to find a remedy. Most peoplo with
whom 1 conversed on the subject, claimed that

' of h disease upon my own crop, I directed
hai fresh ashes should be shown over the field

A Co! lege JLarlL."
The following capital story is told by " one
who knows," of Doctor Mascey, and cannot
fail to amuse our readers. On one accasion,
i several o the students o oouth Uarolina Loi-
lege resolved to drag the Doctor's carriage in
to the woods, and fixed upon a night for the
performance of the exploit. One of their num
ber, however, was troubled with some compunc
tious visiiings, and managed to convey to the
worthy President a hint, that it would be well
for him to secure the door of his carriage house.
Instead of paying any heed to this suggestion,
the Doctor preceded, on the appointed nighrto
the carriage house, and ensconced his portly
person inside the vehicle. In less than an hour,
some half a dozen young gentlemen came to
his retreat, and cautiously withdrew the car
riage into tho road. When they where fairly
out of the College precincts they forgot their
reserve, and began to joke freely with each
other by name. One of them complained of
the weight of the carriage, and another replied
by swearing that " it was heavy enough to have
the old fellow himself in it." For nearly a mile
they proceded along the highway, and then
struck into the woods, to a cover which they
concluded would effectually conceal the vehicle.
Making themselves infinitely merry at the Doc
tor's expense, and conjecturing how and when
he would find his carriage, they at length rea
ched ihtPspot where they had resolved to leave
it. Just as they were abqu't ttf departhaving"
once more agreed that " the carnage was hea
vy enough to have the old Doctor and all his
tribe in it," they wete startled by the sudden
dropping of one of the glass dbbr panels, and
by the well known voice of the Doctor himself,
who thus addressed them : "So, so, young
gentlemen you are going to leave me in the
woods, are you? Surely, as you have brought
me hither for your own gratification, you will
not refuse to lake me back for rriine. Corhe,
Messrs , and and buckle to, and
let us return ; it's getting late,!" There was
no appeal ; for the window was raised, and
the Doctor resumed his seat. Almost without
a word, the discomfitted young gentlemen took
their places at the pole, and at the back of the
vehicle, and quite as expediously, if with less
voice, did they retrace their course. In silence,
they dragged the carriage into' its wonted place,
and then retreated precipitately to their rooms,
to dream of the account they must render on
the morrow. When they had gone, the Doctor

The steam-engine, that grand invention of mod
ern times, is a' machine env61ving great
power with constant motion. What power is to
the steam-engine, life is lo the living machine ; or
rather life is power, which, through the interven
tion of machinery, produces regular and sentient
action. This machinery, like that of the steam
engine, is susceptible of disarrangement, and must
in time, wear out. Both require attention to keep
them in good condition ; each have governors,
condensers, escapements, valves, &c, all at work,
and all important and accident to either weakens
or destroys its motions. The human machine,
from its superior, complex, arid delicate" contri
vance, is easily disarranged. Remove the ob
structions, lessen the friction, let the valves work
freely, and health is again restord. To effect
this, use Clickener's Sugar Coated Vegetable Pills,
which have attained great reputation for their cur
ative properties. They remove from the system
all seeds of disease without irritating it, and are,
therefore, suited to all constitutions, and in all
stages of complaint.
