This act shall tak; effect immediately, MARUIAGE.—ThecilitnrR of the New York Evening Gazitte Imvu been asked by some ot' their ymng Imly readers if tiiey bflivo with tin Apostle Paul that it is best, not many. To this query they reply as folliivs. The fact that the {fivers ofthis advice nre bachelors, does not, we suppose, militate against its soundness: \Yen and no, doir girls. That de- pends upon c.ii'ounistanftes. A husband is liko a blacksmith')\ largest hammer in bei.itr n very handy jnd useful article to have about, if you n(ed it and can man- age it, and very usehss and mal apro- pos if yon don't and can't. Speaking chemically, marriage is mixing'oil and water of opposing tiBtes,unless alkali of genuiro love be added, in which case you l«ve soap and smoothness, and glide through life easily. Or we may vary tho expression a little, and may say tlat love is solvent which unites. It is indispensable, it is delightful, it is power ul but the trouble is, that a great many people are fatally apt t o mistake a weak solution of sentiment and ro- mance for the genuine extract, whose powei and flavor will last through life. Don'tbe in any hurry to try those che- mical experiments for yourselves, dear inquirers—check aprons are better than chigntns, and housekeeping should be studec under mamma's tuition before you t'y chemistry under your own, In thii matter don't bo eager to take Time by the forelock,lest he roughly take of your own lock, the bloom from your dieeks, and tho light from your eves.\ PRdnucT OF A FLEECE OF Wool,.— The product in thread or cloth from a fleece of wool is astonishing. At Norwich, many years since, 39,200 yards, or twenty-two and a quarter miles of thread, were spun from a single pound of woi)l; and 60 years ago a Miss Ives, at Spsmlding, spun 08,000 yards or about 95^- miles of woolen thread from a pound of wool, off a Lincoln ewe. But this seems nothing to the multiplication a fleece now undergoes at Bradford, From the manufacturer who generally Imys by \clip I obtained this bit of iiufonnation. A 20 pound Lincoln fleece, used as an admixture with cotton in the finest Alpaca fabrics, suffices for upward of twelve \pieces each pieco of 42 yards in length; it might probably be extended to 18 pieces, or a total length of 672 yards, three in breadth. At 3s a yard,the sum realized would bo .£100 ; and I suppose (though I am not much of\ a dressmaker), that the crinolines of 80 or 90 Indies were covered with a single fleece of wool.— J. A.

I announce myself to the reader, as the Man who believcB in Ghosts—per- haps. At any rate, I beliovo in my father and ho believed the story I am about to relate. My father resided at Ipswich, and once had occasion to go to London on business. It was during a period of great popular commotion, and, the city being very full, ho had some trouble in finding a lodging. The master of the house observed that it was a good, largo room—for ho could got but one—and very comfortable, if he did not mind—but there ho stop ped, for his wife gave him a nudge. That made my father suspect something was not quite right. \ It isn't over a slaughter-house, or a burial-ground, or a dissecting-room, is it ?\ says he. \ Oh,\ dear, no 1\ says the landlord; \ but some people say tho next house is haunted ; and that anybody who sleeps in this room can see a lady in white, crying, at that window that you can see there.\ \ Oh ! is that all ?\ says my father; \perhaps there's some poor maniac con- fined there. Whether or no, however, that's no objection, for I don't care a rush for all the ghosts that ever were invented.\ Well, he took possession of the room, and before night close in he had an op- portunity of taking an accurate survey of the neighboring premises. A lead roof, apparently over a workshop, lay between his window and that one where the ghost was said to appear ; only there was this difference, that he could easily step out of his upon tho leads, whereas the neighbor's was about nine or ten feet higher. My father always vowed that he was nprfeetly sober when he went to bed. He couldn't tell how lon« he had been asleep, when he was suddenly a Wakened by loud screams ; and when he opened his eyes, ho saw that the opposite house was on fire. He was out on the leads in a moment. The haunted room was filled with the bright flames, and at tho window stood a lovely young woman, clasping a baby in her arms, and screaming for help. \ Oh, save my child-save my child !\ she kept on crying, in such tones of anguish that they went to my father's very heart. \\Give it to me,\ he said, \ and then jump out into my arms. The distanco is nothing ; you cannot be hurt. Take courage I Now, give mo the baby !\ She-leaned forward and dropped the baby, wrapped in a shawl, into my father's arms. Just as he got it safe, it seemed to him that the roof fell in. There was a crashing noise, but not very loud ; and the flames disappeared and so did the young lady. In at his window he rushed again, and through the house, shouting \ Fire! fire ! \ with all his might, and with the baby still in his arms. Out rushed the landlord as pale as a ghost, and his wife after him, in such a monument of a night cap, that it quite overawed my father, even in the midst of his agitation. The maid •was shrieking \ Murder !\ down in the kitchen, and the apprentices had tum- bled out from under the counter in the shop, and were poking their noses cau- tiously out, and kindly inquiring who was killing her; and on every landing up the stairs the lodgers were calling out to know what was the matter. There was altogether a terrible row in the place. \ The next house is on fire!\ said my father. \ It's only the old story,\ ftytl the landlord. \Run up stairs, my dear, and tell them it's a false alarm.\ \But it is not a false alarm,\ says my father; \ for I saw the flames, and 1 saw the roof fall in, and I fear that a lady is burned under the ruins. Why don't you I'ome and help her? She had just dropped her child into my arms when the roof full.'\ The landlady then first set C3'es on the bundle, for her husband at that mo- ment lighted a caudle from the rush- light, which had very imperfectly illu- minated the scene before. \ A baby !\ says she. \ Yes,\ says my father; \and I think I'd better leave it with you, ma'am, while I go and endeavor to rescue the mother. \ The woman did not speak, nor utter a sound ; but she just lifted up the shawl from the child's face and dropped down like a lump of lead upon tho floor. Instead of attending to her, both my father and tho landlord looked into the shawl. It contained the skeleton of an infant, wrapped up in tho rags of what had once been very costly garments. My father felt very sick, and the land- lord staggered back against the wall and dropped the candlestick out of his hand. When the landlady fell (she was a tall, heavy woman, and gave tho house a good shake), the maid screamed \ Murder 1\ louder than' ever, and tho lodgers oalledyot more energetically to[ know what was the alter. That frightened the landlord back into his senses for ho thought if they onmo down and saw what my father had got, it would frghten them nil out of the house. So she onoght up tho candle, which, luckily, was not extinguished by the fall, and pushed my father, with his bun- dle, into the bedroom, then he oallod out that it was only the strange gentle- man had had the nightmare, and his wife had been frightened into a fainting fit. So they all went, grumbling, back to bod ; and tho inanlielped his wife into her room where my father stood tremb- ling and shaking, not having presenoe of mind enough to^pTTlTJown tlie\t)(nfti1oT and not even daring to look into it again. The little skeleton was quietly buried tho next day by an old soxton, who asked no questions, as the landlord was a re spectable householder; and so they all concluded that the ghost was satisfied and that that was the reason why she never apc-ared again. When my father examined the place closely by daylight, ho saw evident marks of fire about the windows ; but ho was assured these were tlie remains ot a fire that happened there a great many years before. In short, the whole affair of the apparition Keetncd to shroud somo great inysiory,which was perfectly inexplicable. Somo years after, when he was in London again, my father en dcavored to find out the house, in the hope of ohtnininsr a clue to the mystery ; but he could discover nothing but a mass of ruins. That street and somo others were just demolished, to make way for that which is now Regent St. Thrilling Scene at Thayer floyes' Circus. and A Lion Pounces on His Tamer and Tears Him. to Pieces One of the most exciting event ever witnessed,says a Rochester paper,result tnsj in tho serious wounding of Chas. White, tho lion tamer, took place last evening at the circus. At the close of the performance the cage of lions, eon tabling two lions and two lionesses, is brought in and Mr. White enters the cage and performs with them, making them jump through a hoop and over his back, &o. The largest lion is a sav- nye creature, and has exhibited a pen- chant for snapping at White so that his friends have been alarmed, and Avery Smith, the celebrated circus and me uugirio pvn;„-!..-tor, from wliom tlmy were purchased, who was in town yes- terday, told the Profi»spor that he had better not perform with this fellow, for he was loo savage, and would some day turn upon him and eat him up. White acknowledged that he was pretty sav- age, but he was determined to conquer hiin. He little dreamed that Mr.Smith's assertion would almost prove true the same day, but such was the fact, for when Mr. White opened the partition in which this king of the forest was penned he stooped down to compel the animal to jump over him, but he sprung upon him and in an instant had embed de4 his teeth in \White's shoulder, rais- ing him up and shaking him as a terrier would a rat. He then let go his hold and snapped him again when some men who were standing near the cage beat him off with iron bars, which were kept on hand in case of necessity. One of the bars was put in his jaw and pried upon, which maio him let go his bold. White then got out ot the cage and fainted as soon as he stepped upon the ground. He was picked up and con- veyed in a carriage to the National Ho tel, and Dr. Whitesbeck summoned to dress his wounds. The Doctor found eight largo incisions through the shoul- der—three in front and five on the back of the shoulder. The collar bone was broken, as was also the shoulder blade. The wounds were of a terrible nature, for the teeth of the animal were blunt, and tho incisions large enough to insert the finger. The lion also clawed him twice with his sharp claws, cutting open his flesh fearfully. A half minute later and Mr. White would never have come out of the cage alive. As it is, he's in a very dangerous condition, and the chances for his recovery are very slim. It is related that one of the other lions sprang upon the beast and endeav- ored to pull him off. The other beasts arc perfectly tamed and are very gentle. Mr. While had a similar tnssel with other lions, but was not so badly hurt. He is a man of undaunted courage.and bore the operation of extracting the pieces of bone without a murmur. He has no family, and has been connected with circuses for a number ot years.— He is receiving every possible attention. Messrs. Thayer & Noyes have telegraph- ed Herr Drisback, the celebrated lion, tamer to join them, but they will not permit this lion to be perforated with,- although he will be exhibited. «»•».» A STRANGE TELEGRAPHIC FREAK.— A few weeks ago a couple of wires on the New York Central Railroad began to act very unreasonable. At ten o'clock in the morning they would \strike work,\ and resume, at four in tho after- noon. A earful examination of the line produced no result. The superintend- ent himself looked into the matter and saw nothing. It was a complete puzzle. An old Albany operator, however, was more successful. About sixty mjleu west of that city he found a point whore the wires passed over the roof of a build- ing, almost touching it. As the sun rose, the wires fell and at twelve d'olock they lay snugly together on the tin roof. As the sun fell, they cooled and rose, and- by four o'clock they were in their proper positions. Of course the trouble was rectified. j AGEI0ULTUIA1. WHAT DIFFERS MOBB TIUXIIIUX FROU MAST.—We have often ma ft to trior with not more than twenty tore* of land, raising more orops, though keeping but a single cow, a pig and ft horse, than his neighbor with eighty Of r hundred aoros ofland and four tiinfi, as much stook. What is the differ* enoe? 'The one is thrifty, and the oth* er hard up, struggling lor '»*Hvtog4 Why, simply the sue of the oonjpoit heap. The one did hi« wovk well, made the most of every tiling, while the other left everything to make itself. Thrifty watohed the growth of hie oompott heap as he would the gain of » fatten* ing *niraal. From the refuse of.h» sink, he made three cords of good com- post a year. His -privy was so <ton- etrnoted, that by a constant anppiy of mnck and other absorbents, the urine' from the house and other contents of the vault were all absorbed. He thus ob- tained several cords more of the very best of manure, bosides promoting the health of his family. The liquicT and solid exorements of his animals were, also all systematically preserved and carefully composted with every kind of vegetable and animal rubbish, loam and rauck. Thus ho always had mai, ,nnre enough to make<his4aii4aji... T\alge crops; 1 \Consequently his Tat was Well paid and satisfactory. Hie compost heaps were often overhauled, and artificial nitre bods, grew stronger, by being frequently worked, in all the essential elements of fertility, especially in that ot nitric acid. Meanwhile Unthrifty never had ma- mire enough to make his lands produce crops sufficient to pay any profit on hitf labor. Ho considered all Cbis work about compost, overhauling, saving li- quid rnanure,as labor lost—while in factj he was\the \most laborious of the two. The foregoing is not a picture of the imagination, but an acourate descriptiori of two farmers, who live within a mile; of each other in a town in this state,, and perhaps tho reader has seen many such, who differ as widely in practical^ agriculture. The fanner who does everything ia tiie best manner and cultivates no morn land than ho can make produce to the utmost of its capacity, will always be thrifty, do the least hard work, and en- joy life and its ceaseless blessings the most; while it is always up hill, disoour- nging, profitless hard work to cultivate much poor land for poor crops.—iST, C, M., in Advertiser. CUTTING HAY.—A correspondent of the Country Gentleman makes the fol- lowing sensible remarks on early and late cutting ot hay: \ It is now better understood than formerly that some kinds of hay should bo bo cut early, especially for cows. But iu the declaratiol of new doctrines, we are disposed to go to the extreme. Because some grass, cut in June or ear- ly July, makes belter hay, it is not to be assumed that all^rass will. Clover, orchard grass and timothy attain their growth and maturity rapidly and early, and very soon, if not cut lose their good quality; and this is also true of some other kinds of grass giowluj? on rich and warm uplands, and on any highly cultivated land. But there is a great deal of meadow which affords a very superior quality of hay, though cutlate in August. This is the casa with much of the bottom lands, or riv- er meadows, where tho grass does not attain half its growth by the fourth of July, and if cut so early, would want its superior quality. It dries up rapid- ly, the juces being only partially devel- oped, and it lacks nutriment. Any one who has had occassion to mow a strip of such grass in the early paj-t of July, and to out the grass adjoining this strip four weeks later, will be struck with observing the difference, not only in quantity, but in the qualtity of the two cuttings. There is also a great deal of upland natural meadow, where the grass is of slow growth and late» and where the quality of it for hay im- proves nearly as long as it continues to grow, retaining its good color and rich aroma late in the season. In seasons, of low tempera lure, «uch meadows will furnish an excellent quality of hay, cut as late as the first of September. FOKK SPADE.—Those who have nev- er used any other than tho old blade spade, do not know the superiority of the fork. The farmer frequently turns over a mass without breaking or dis- turbing the centre, while tho tines of the later crumble it through and through. The four-tined spade, or po- tato fork, is the best, and after a trial the old-fashioned kind will be laid aside, or kept for digging post-holes. The lightness of the fork is also in its favor. CLOVEK BLOAT. P. R. Sleight, Potighkeepsie, N. Y.: I have known cattle to die from this cause. I consid- er tapping the paunch a risky operation. The best way to start the gas is to fill a whole egg-shell with tar, then raise the head, and with a limber stick push it a short distance down the throat. LIGHTNING RODS.—Solon Robinson would not allow himself to try to con* trol the Creator's lightning-rod, and thought that a carrot set on a pole wat as good as a lightning rod. High trees are a better protection than rods.JJJJRods are often dangerous rather than a pro- tection. \ PLOWING PASTURES.—Dry land pas* tures will run out and needvplowing occasionally, to-get the most profit from them, while others never need to be, plowed,with proper care and treatment But no other crop should be put on ba grass. SMOKING SEED CORK.—C. Sanborn, Earlville, Iowa, says that seed oorn should be smoked along with the meat in a smoke-house, for it will grow just as well, whilegophers, chickens, worms or squirrels will not touch it. —In response to the appeal of Hia Holiness the Pope, for assistance in re- pelling the anticipated attack upon the Holy City of Rome, the Emperor Na- poleon has notified the King of Italy of the threatened movement of Garibaldi. The batteries formerly erected by the Frenoh aroand Rome, and not the old Roman defenses, are being rebuilt and strengthened for defensive 6perations. \i****. 1 -
