Various plans were devised to kill time, and never did it pass so pleasantly away. Fishing, row ing, dinners, suppers, etc., formed our principal amusements, and as the harbor was filled with vessels of all nations, au interchange of national courtesies was kept up until our anchor wa3 weighedj and old Ironsides again before the breeze. At one of the entertainments given on fihore by the ofneers of a British frigate, the conversation turned upon rifle shoot ing, which led to an animated discussion, in which our officers took part. j 1 nave oiten Heard, said the command- . cr of the Thunderer, 'that you have some fellows in your countiy called Kentucki- ans, who are reckoned great shots with the rifle.' 'Yes, sir,' replied Lieut. X , 'their fame in that hue is great, which is . easilv accounted for.

'Yes, on all occasions,' said our purser, a tall, muscular descendant of one of the first settlers in the State. 'What say you, then, "entlemen, to a ' shooting match to-morrow morning?' ask- ed the Englishman. 'Agreed, with all our hearts.' said the Vl.

No one, however, 'cut the paper' the size of a dollar although several of the balls were close to it. The shots were considered excellent: the English and French officers present were eroatelv astonished at the profici- ency of the riflemen.

This is true of all kinds of knowledge, both of the arts and sciences, But conversation can be carried on only by a limited number of individuals. Ears are not constituted so as to enable us to hear all that is worth hearing. The pen and press step in, and do what they can to supply this deficiency, and commu nicating with multitudes who, without their aid, could know nothing of these things. We can now hear thousands of miles; and thus is scattered, as on the wings of tho wind, the information which would other wise attract the attention of but. few. In th'eory, the pen ahd 'press commu nicate the better part of what is thought or spoken ; and though they sometimes err, the thought is not unpardonable, nor fatal. We should be thankful that we are obliged to read and hear so little of what is worthless. Note another fact. Nine-tenths of all that appears in the ponderous volume, relating to matters of general interest, first appeared in some periodical. Nei ther in the arts nor in the sciences, do we find an exception to this remark. Nay, more. In the periodical, this truth first appears in a form suited to the wants of the public. Afterwards it is remodelled, and, being clothed in a scholastic dress, forms a volume of science, suited only to thc learned. An illustration of thi3, fresh in the recollection of our readers, is found iu the "pendulum experiment," as illus trating the revolution of the earth. You may remember the story of the young gentleman, born and bred in the city, who having purchased a farm in the coun try was offered his choice out of a large herd of cows. Through a little embar rassment, lest he should display his igno rance, he soon made a selection, saying, "I will take the thick necked one." Upon this, the boy was ordered with a partially suppressed laugh from all hands to drive to the young farmer's new establishment a fine, stout bull. Had this youth but examined even the pictures in our agricul tural journals, he might have avoided so rediculous a blunder, and the milk-maid would have been spared the mortification of being sent out to obtain her supply for the dairy from an animal unaccustomed to render such service. There is a deal of fancy farming. The incident just detailed belongs to this de partment. The youug farmer selected his " cow," on that principle. Thousands do the same thing. Some of this class carry on their farms very much as somebody is said to have bought a library by the ap pearance of the covers. Each has his own fancy, and is controlled by it; while true science and common sense, have not even a seat at the council board. Nor is this class of farmers confined to to the novice. It may be found among those who have grown gray upon a farm. True, in outward form, there may some times be a fair appearance. One may manifest an ardent desire to adopt the best modes, and yet may belong in these ranks. He Ve fuses thoroughly to inform himself but is governed by his fancy in following the lead of a mere pretender. This is his fancy. He prefers this to the study of science. I remember visiting one of the best farming towns in Massachusets some two years ago, and when in conversation with some of thc most intelligent farmers in the place, one of them enquired "Are you concerned in Boramer's patent?" An emphatic "No, Sir," and a smile, materi ally affected a visage already unnatural ly prolonged by the recollection of ten dollars thrown away on that humbug. Five dollars paid for a single paper that explained that mysterious fertilizer, would have saved other five dollars, not only for him, but for several of his neighbors. "Experience" as thc word is jjopularly used, is but an imperfect security against the thousand cheats and humbugs to be found in every7 community. He is but a fancy farmer who chooses to continue the modes and methods of his ancestors. His father and grandfather used to do so, and hence it must be right. This is his only principle of action. In other words, it is his fancy to do so be cause they did. He knows how to con duct a farm only by imitation, and looks to the past for his models, without know ing or understanding the results of his own or their operations. To him there is no such thing as progress, and failure and success arc words without meaning. Twenty bushels of corn to the acre is quite satisfactory, so long as he depart from no established usage, and is not outdone by his neighbors. I know not why he should be called a wise man more than our city-born friend before spoken of. Both are governed alike by considerations undeserving of confidence. The subject of maures is a great sci ence. Our fathers knew but little of it. They had less occasion to know than we have, for they had not so thoroughly ex hausted their soils. But tho process was carried on with a terribly destructive con stancy. We are trying to carry it a lit tle farther; and in some instances the work seems complete through almost en tire States. Harvests fail to support the laborer, aud this, iu any other employ ment, would be considered aud treated as a failure. No other class of men would remain content with this condition. The farmer alone manifests patience so perfect, and that two when he might double and quadruple his inaome. How entire is the revolution in the mode of conducting most of the manucl operations of the day ! Every art has its improved tools and reformed methods. Agriculture ought not to be counted an. exception. The youngest of our readers can remember the publication of the first' I work worthy of the name of agricultural Chemistry ; and science necessarily pre ceeds judicious, intelligent practice. Un der other circumstances, we can only blu?i der upon success. We may happen to guess right but the chances are strongly against us. But with correct views of the chemistry of agriculture, the way is opened for a judicious application of ma nures, and a wiser successsion of crops. Hence there is no apology for such a con dition of things. Finely Caught, Some two miles up the river from St. Johnsbury, Vermont, is a primative sort of a little village, called 'The Centre.' Here, not long since, the rustic youth of the vicinity congregated for 'a dance,' 'and dance they did,' said our informant, 'with an unction unknown to your city bellers and beaux.' One young man hav ing 'imbibed' rather too freely, became 'fatigued' in the course of the evening, and wisely concluded to 'retire' for a short rest. A door ajar near the dancing hall revealed, invitingly, a glimpse of a com fortable bed, of which he took possession, with a prospect of an undisturbed 'snooze.' Jt so happened, howbeit, that this was the ladies' withdrawing room, and no sooner had he closed his eyes, than a pair of blooming damsels came in from the hall, and began adjusting their disordered ringlets, the dim light of the candle not disclosing thc tenant of the bed. The girls had tongues, (like mo3t of their 'seek') which ran on in this wise: 'What a nice dance we're having? nave you heard any body say any thing about me, Jane?' 'La, yes, Sally! Jim Brown says he never see you look so handsome as you do to-night. Have your heard any body say anything about me?' 'About you! why sartin: I heard Joe Flint tell Sam Jone3 that you were the prettiest dressed girl in the room.' Whereupon thc dear things chuckled, 'fixed up, a lit tle more, and made off to-wards the ball room. They had hardly reached the door, when our half-conscious friend raised himself upon his elbow, and quite intelligibly, though slowly, inquired, 'Ha' you heard anybody say anything a bout me, girlsV 'Phansy their pheelinks' at this juncture! They fled with an ex plosive scream. Knickerbocker. The Transmutation of Metals. Many of the fundamental and leading ideas of the present time, appear, to him who knows not what science has already achieved, as extravagant as the notions of the alchemist. Not, indeed, the trans mutation of metals, which seemed so propable to the ancients, but stranger things are held by us to be attainable. We have became so accustomed to won ders, that nothing any longer excites our wonder. We fix the solar rays on paper, and send our thoughts literally with the velocity of lightning to the greatest dis tance. We can, as it were, melt copper in could water, and cast it into statues. We can freeze water into ice, or mercury into a solid malleable mass, in white hot crucibles; and we consider it quite prac ticable to illuminate most brightly entire cities with lamps devoid of flamo and fire, and to which the air has no access. We produce artificially, ultramarine, ono of the most precious minerals; and we be lieve that to-morrow or next day some one may discover a method of producing from a piece of charcoal a splended dia mond, from a bit of alum saphires or rubbies, or from coal-tar tho beautiful coloring principle of madder, or the val uable remedies known as quinine and morphine. All these things are more valuable than gold. Every one is occu pied in thc attempt to discover them, and yet this is the occupation of no individu al inquirer. All are occupied with these things, inasmuch as they study the laws of the changes and transformations to which matter is subject; and yet no one individual ia especially engaged in theso researches, inasmuch as no one for exam ple devotes his life aud energies to the solultion of the problem of making dia monds og quinine. Did such a man ex ist, furnished with the necessary knowl edge, and with the courage and persever ance of the old gold makers, he would have a good, prospect of being enabled to solve such problems. Liebig's Letters on Chemistry. Our " devil" says, when a feller falla in love, the sensation is like a hay-bug crawling up the leg of hi3 trowsers. At least that is the way he suffered, when he first squeezed the hand of the gal he loved. The Supreme Court of Ohio have de cided that any person losing money in a bet at any election may recover the amount lost by suit, and if the loser fail to sue in six months, any other porson may aue fo? and recover it for his own use.
