Juttoos Jatottip??*. Man and ?Fishing'. Fishidc was a far earlier mode of sup? pling human life than agriculture, [owever far back in the stream of ter? restrial events we suppose it allowable to carry the date of man's appearance on the scene, still he must have been.pre? ceded by fish. The fivers, lakes and seas, when he first looked upon them, most have been peopled: very much as they are this daj,,^ There'was ;ajB7gf?at;a. variety of species/and probably much the same infinitude of individuals in ^ some of these speclies. And as a savage population must-be always sparse, and m any locality feria number, their sup Elyof food fxoxn'thlssource could only e limited by their inability. to capture iL What the wildJgamVcf the forest and of the open plain were to the inland hunting tribes, Ine fish of the fresh and salt water were to the riverine and mari? time tribes. Between these early days and the first beginnings of agriculture vast periods of time must have elapsed. First, because iaJ&ese^and..more_.oi Less, in all latitudes, nature offered to man no plant that in its unimproved state was worth cultivating. The suitable form had to, be ey^lyedor created by long rfto j^sseaofobservation and selection. This" is why we kBOvcj^thiog-o^the parentage of wheat, barley, oats, rye, beans or malA^and whvitJie tripeai T>readyruit, -pi&ntaiu, jbanariaj and sugar-cane have lost the power of producing seed, and so of reproducing themselves; this- must have -been the result of long ages of human selection. Nothing of: the kind had to be done for fish. .There it was as fit for food on .the. first day that man stood on the river bank or the seashore, aa it is at this day. Agriculture also ents to dear,and stir the Uherrbjihf pojwfwlfli, 3nts|v^ kxmfvi^e$efthe series of discoveries, improvements and advances. Primeval man, therefore, as we now read his his lived by or known ?Nor,' coD^d^e, s, for they, jaije' hot.',continuous throughout: the ; year;. They have their season and that a- brief onei-^ He must then have lived by bunt?' ing and fishing; and of the two fishing would be the most continuous through faJUq^tiesJ'or those i?^uppliexl times. It would not be more difficult to hook, and spear, and net, and trap fish. a1n4)^^lhe3ipjopMtJ,Jn3>n5 tbej^pcSl and sand-banks, than to . pierce with arrows wild game. Our immediate comparison,however, is with agriculture; and we may be sore that not in It were the foundations of society laid, -but in hunting and fishing,..and that of these two, as the great Carnivora at first bad possession.,of. forest and the plain against intruding . man, 'fishing ? was the main primeval occupation and means of s u bsistence.-TTMcM?leuCz Magazine.. a n Postal^Improvemenfs. # i"..'I "Nothing better shows the progress of. tfi'e^.Tace than the modern facilities for' pj^tal^communication, .compared . with, the past. "Iq the anoient world, among the Assyrians and Persians/stations were established a day's journey apart, and; horsemen traveled with all- possible, dis-; patch fromone to another. From the establishment of. the roman Empire, down to the thirteenth century couriers wtie employed for the quick transmission of.- dispatch es. But the remarkable thing about this system was that the general public got tjo advantage in the way ?f | communication, as it was only govern? ment jdi8D,atchea which were allowed to be sent by these posts. The first courier system to transmit' private letters was adopted in.1616.^. It is worthy of note that wh en the Spanish invader; entered. PerTO5:.$?,'they7 found a postal. Bysr. tern- in'existence by which messages were trartsm itted by a corpse of'swift-footed runners. Our own postal system was organized in 1710. In 1753, Ben. Frank lin was Postmaster-General, and in 1760 hie startled the country by running a pos? tal wagon from Philadelphia through New York to Boston once a week. Since then the income of the post-office has steadily increased, and the charges as steadily decreased. In 1816, letters sent ander forty miles were changed eight cents and over 500 miles twenty-five cents. Now a half-ounce letter is conveyed to any' part of this vast country for two cents. At this rate their would be a large profit over the expense, were it not i for the astonishingly low rate charged for-newspapers and periodicals. The two-cents a pound which is the rate on printed matter is only a fraction of the cost, to the government, and the country '.; makes a present to. the newspaper -pro V^^J^Awi^^^J^^. '? annum. ThVxText reform will* doubtless be the increase -if- fche weight-allowed on each : letter to.one ounco^tbat is, the citizen would then be charged the same rate for his one-ounce letteras the publisher, pays for his pound of prin^d'matteV.~iPe7no retCt XonthtyforDtcenioer. An Outfit. Peoplejif.this day. would be greatly interested^"'they could be'; brought to imagine clearly what- was considered an outfit for a daughter in the olden time not so olden, either, after all. Whatever else the 'daughter might have, there., w??ldbe in thV foreground a pair' ofl cards and.a-spinning wheel- Sometimes "'the outfit would consist of a bed, a coffee, pot, a skilled, a cow and a calf in addi? tion, but rtbej -cards and the spinning wheel would-be foremost." But gradual ly th es a latter articles have been almost wholly dispensed with, and now, it is not frequent that we bear the hum of the spinning wbeel, or the raking sound of the cards. .Machinery BaB come in and the picture has been changed, all within twenty-five or thirty years. It would be quite, interesting to some of oar young people of this day to wit? ness, a tableau faithfully representing the olden time, when there were no cook- ? stoves and no sewing machines or reap? ers, and everything was done by hand. We shall always have the highest re? spect for thosd 'old-time people who taught their daughters to spin and weave, - and cook and do whatever was necessary; to make home independent and comfor? table. Of course there was no great amount of learning, but we rather sus? pect that, these good old people had the trae. wisdom, which they drew from the only true Book of the world, and what they lacked in knowledge of the outside world they made up in knowledge of the inner self.?Oreentboro Workman. Musical . -Fish.-?Lieutenant John White says that on his voyage to China, when his ship was anchored at the mouth of the river Camboya, the sailors were much astonished at the sounds that issued from the water, resembling the bass of an organ mingled with the tones of a bell, the croaking of an enormous frog and the cl?ng of an immense harp. These sounds swell into a gentle chorus on both sides of the ship and were attributed by the interpreter to a school of fish. A similar occurrence in the South Sea was described, by Baron Humboldt. The sailors were greatly terrified at about 7 o'clock in the evening by. an extraordi? nary-noise in the air, like tbe beating of j tamborines, followed by sounds which resembled the escape of air from boiling liquid. At 9 o'clock these strange sounds, which it was fudged proceeded from a school of.selenoides, ceased. The gizzard shod, known scientifically as the iorosome, utters ' a distinct vibratory, whiniDg sound. The mullet" otters dis? tinctr dotes, often quite prolonged and accompanied by a discbarge of air bub hies.?Tribune. A Beautiful Incident. A man blind from his birtb, a man of much intellectual vigor and with many engaging social qualities, found a woman who, appreciating his worth, was willing to cast in her lot with him and become his wife. Several bright, beautiful children became theirs, who tenderly and equally loved both parents. An eminent French Surgeon, while in this country, .'cilied upon'them,'and examining: , the blind man with much interest and care, eaid to him : "Your blindness is wholly artificial; your^eVare "naturally good ; and couM I have operated upon Ibem twenty years ago, I could have given you sight. It is barely possible that I can do it now, though it will cause you much pain." "I can bear that," was the reply, "so you I)ut enable me to see." * .^The-surgeon operated upon him. and was gradually successful: first there were faint glimmerings of light, then more distinct visions. The blind father was handed a rose; be had smelled one before, but be bad never seen one; then he looked upon the face of his wife, who had been so true and faithful to him, ^n"d~"tben bis^ children-* were-brought, whom be had' so often fondled, and whose charming prattle had so frequent? ly fallen upon his cars.
