| Show what constitutes riches the Knicker knickerbocker bocker borker for july gives the following in anecdote of william L marcy our present secretary of sate state at washington ag as contributed by a correspondent I 1 to be rich aid mr marcy mercy bequir require t only a satisfactory condition of the roin mia one man mail may be rich witti a bundled hundred dollars collars while another in the he possession possess iori lori of millions may think himself poor and as the dec estie estle estip s og 0 ife fe aro are enjoyed el by each i it is evident the ahe mah ielah who is the best satisfied sith ecith his possessions is ahe lle ile lie richer to illustrate keshis his idea mr learcy related the following anecdote while I 1 was wis governor of tile the state scale of new york ll 11 said he lit 1 I was called upon one morning at my office by a specimen of a backwoodsman who stalked in and commenced conversation by inquiring if this was mr marcy 1 I replied that that was mv my name bill marca said lie he I 1 nodded assent used to live ive lve in southport southwort South port yep 1 I answered in int the tile affirmative 1 ahil ahli orwan 0 rwan kUan began hegan to feel a little to know my I 1 visitor was and what he be was driving at 11 what I 1 told yem vew POT 1 cried the tile backwoodsman woodsman lan ian bringing bis his hand down awn on ils lis thigh with tremendous force 11 1 I em you was as tile tiie ame same old bill marcy who med wed to li live ve in south port but they believe it ardd arid I 1 promised the next time I 1 camp to albany albanito to come and see sec you and fird out for sartin why you know me dont oll you yon oil bill I 1 1 I exactly like to eznor ignore his his bis acquaintance altogether altoe ther lher but for forthe the life of me recollect ever having seen him beforehand before and so I 1 replied that he be had bad a familiar countenance but that I 1 was not able lo 10 call him by name 11 t dis nis my aly name is il jack smith mith 1 answered the ack woodsman man and land we used to go to chool school er thirty fears years a ago ai in the little red school louse in old southport southwort South port well time has changed since then and you have become a great gleat man and got rich I 1 suppose 11 1 I shook my ny head and was going to contradict that hat impression impre sion slon when he be broke brol e in 11 oil oh yes you yon are I 1 know kno wyon 1 yon you alech no esq denkins deny den fin yin ins it you was comptroller co l r olle r foi for for a ong ung time and the next we ap heard a d of yuu yiu yon you were governor you must have made a heap helip of money and ind I 1 am glad of it glad t to 0 see you getting along so smart you was alwa always s 4 a smart lad at hooi hool and I 1 knew you would a come io to some om thin thina 1 I thanked him for Vs bs mod good wishes and opinion bit b it told him that political life iid ild did lid not pay so well weli as he be inia inta imagined ined 1 I suppose said 1 I fortune ha has smiled up upon on you since you left southwort southport South port oh yes y said he be 61 baina got pot nothing to complain of I 1 must say ive pre lve got aion alon risby aright smart you see shortly after you left our whole family moved up into inta vermont and put right into the woods and I 1 reckon our f family amily cut down more trees and cleared mote moie landt landl han any other in the whole state and und so you have made a good thin thing of it how much do you consider yourself worth I 1 asked feeliks beelin I 1 a little curious to know what in ile consil considered ered a fortune ar at he seemed to be e so well satisfied with his 11 well I 1 he replied 11 dont know exactly jipp W boyr much 1 I a am im worth but I 1 think straighten straightening aing himself up if all my ray debts were paid IS hould bould be worth three hundred dollars clean cash and lie he mas teas rich for he was satisfied 4 iros IRON in iri the journal of may

pits may be duhin autlin damp not wet sand in a box or sack and placed where they will freeze or if that ii u too much trouble they may be kept like any othar seeds until time for spring planting when
