To-Morrow A noble ship was nearing home after a long voyugo ,011 her clean, white deck stood many a rough, weather beaten sailor, look ing anxiously at the white cliffs of his na tive laud, and a smile of joy passed over bis sun-burnt face at the pleasing thought, "We shall anchor to morrow !" And there were old men who had not seen their childhood's home for long,, long years, and the tears stood in their eyes as they looked at the dis taut shores and said, "We shall land to-mor row !" And - there, too, was a mother, lift ing up her little one to look at the far-off laud, and whispering, "We shall be at bottle to-morrow 1" . But their to morrow never came. That evening the gentle breeze became a furious storm; the rippling waves became fru r tning, ang,ry.billaws; the sails were. split into rib b ms; the rudder was .brokco; the vessel be clime unmanacable; she drifted upon the terrible (picks/Ms, became a wreck, and all onboard perished: And xie,not many of us expecting a to morroi, that may never come ?

I do not - Oink that they, build a 'nest' or home of arincirl. , At any rate, 'they carry nothing away, hut eatull their 'prey- cm .the spot. It is their habit to march through - the forests in long regular . line;•• e, line about two inches broad, aind often several miles .in length. Allulong Ibis line are larger ants, who act as 'tracers, stand outside -the ranks to keep this singular army, in order. 11 they come to a place where there are no trees to shelter them from the sun, whose heat they cannot bear, they immediately build under ground tunnels, through which. the whole army passes in columns to the forest beyond. These tunnels are four or five. feet under ground and are only used in the heat of the day or during a storm. . When they • grow hungry, the long file spreads itself through the forest in a front line, and attacks and devours all it overtakes with 'a fury that is quite irresistible. The elephant and gorilla fly before this attack.— The black men run for their lives. Eyery• animal that lives in their line of march is chased. They seem to understand and act upon the tactics of Napoleon, and concen trate, wirh great speed, their heavies forces upon the point of attack. In an incredibly short. space of time, the mouse, or dog, or leopard7or-deeri-is-overwhelmedr-killedrea ,ten, and the bare skeleton only left. They seem to travel night and day, Ma ny a time have I been awakened out 'of my sleep, and obliged to rush. from my hut and into the water to' save my life, and after all suffered intolerable agony from the bites of the advance guard, who had got into my clothes. When they enter a house they clear it of all living things. Cockroaches are devoured in an instant. Rats and mice spring round the room in vain. An over whelming force of ants kill a rat in less than a minute in spite of the most frantic strug gles, and in less than another minute its bones are stripped. Every living thing in I the hense is devoured. They will not touch vegetable matter Thus they are,.in reality, very ireful (as well as dangerous) to the ne. groes, who have their little hats cleared of' all the abounding vermin, such - as immense' cockroaches and centipedes, at least several times a year. When on their March the whole of the in sect world flies beforUthem, and I have of, ten had the approach of a bashikousy army hearalded to me by this inean§. Wherever they go they make a clean sweep, even as cending to the tops of the highest trees in pursuit of prey. Their. Manner of attack is an impetuous leap. Instantly the strong pin• cers are faqeeed, and they only'let go when the pieces gives way. At such times this little animal seems animate.d• by a kind of fury which causes it to disregard entirety its own safety, and to seek only the conquest of its prey. The bite is very painful The negroes relate that criminals were in former times exposed in the path . of the ants. as the most cruel manner of putting them to death.— Dr. Chaillu's Work. Too Much Land • The desire to own a very.large farm is na tural, but often proves unwise in its results. When a man wishes to practice a mixed bus bAidry, and his present acres are too few and uusuitablejt is doubtles wise to annex more territory. .Neighbor Jones has twenty acres of good meadow land which is suitable only for hay, orgrain, or hoed crops. But as he finds a small dairy would be profitable; an,' sheep would bring in good returns, it tv, , u'd be advisable for him to buy several acres of hilly land adjoining But this tic cquiplishcd, let him stop, and be careful to buy no Inure than he actually needs for 'his special purpose For, this new land will have t o pay taxes, will have to be fenced, and may need other expenses laid out upon it. At any rate, it will add 'to his cares, and perhaps bring him no adequate return. We know a farmer who, ten years ago, owned 150 acres, and was doing very well; he now owns five lund , t'eil, and is worse than before And why ? Because this large farm is 9 great bill or expense to him; he cannot 'af ford to keep it up in .good conditieu, and it hangs a Millatone of care about his neck,— ills - wife and children,-both. sons and daugh ters, are obliged to work hard to keep the great machine a running We presume his boys deelarethey will leave home as soon as they are old enough; and the girls say they will die before . they will marry farmers Neither sons nor daughters are •educated as they deserve to be; they canuot•be spared for this f l om work on the big farm. • Now, we declare that such a farm is a curse to its possessor and his family, and an injury to the whole agricultural interest.— It' that man wants to save' himself and his househo'd, he should sell at:least one half of his.land, improve the remainder to make it more productive, release his children from bondage, and try - tn make his home a place of comfort. He will live longer,. lay up .as good a property, and will train up a more'in. telligent and a happier family.—Antericuiz Ajriculturitit. EzvxNue, om.

An old maid is' far more honor able than a : heartless wife; and 'Mingle bles sedness" is greatly superior,_in_point_of_h_ap piness, to wedded love, "call 'not 'in love dear girls, beware,". says the:song. ' But 'we do not agree with said song on this question. On the, contrary, we hold that it is a good thing . to fall in love, if the loved object be a worthy one. 'To fall in loie with an honor= able man is as proper it' is for an honora ble man, to fall is love with a virtuous and amiable woman; and what could be a more gratifying spectacle, even to the angels in heaven, than a Bight so pure so approaching inits devotion to the celestial? No; fall in love as soon as you please, la , dies. provided it be wiLlt a suitable person.— Fall in love and then marry; but never mar ry unless you do love. That's the great point. Never marry for "a home" or"a husband.' Never degrade ,yourself by be coming a party to such an alliatMe.' Never sell yourself, body and soul, on terms so con temptible. Love dignifies all things; it en nobles all conditions. With love, the mar riage rite is trulya sacrament. ithout it the ceremony is a base fraud and the act a human desecration. Marry for love, or not at all. Be an "old maid," if fortune throw 'not in your way the man of .your heart; and though the witless may sneeroind the jester may laugh you will still have your reward io an approving conscience and a comparatively peaceful life.
