The New Hampshire Jurnd r,f Ag
riculture jojirne.-ts an excrlietit plan for
exploring tlie hottom of a wc!l :
"Lt is not generally known how ea?v a
matter it is to explore the bottom of a
well, cistern orjiond of water ty theu-e
of a common mirror. When the un i
ehiiiiiis biiht'y hold a mirror so that the
rejected r ivs of li.ht will fail into the
water. A l.r'i'h't t.iot wiii 1 seen at the
hottom. fo liirht as to see the smallest oh- j
jjct very plainly. lSy tins means we
have examined the bottoms of wells 50
feet deep, when half full or more of wa
ter. Th-i smallest straw or otlur small
objects can he seen from the surface.
Iu this way oru can examine bottoms of
ponds and rivers, if tlie water be some
what clear anl not agitated by winds or
rapid motion. If a well or ci-tern be
uader cover or shaded at all. so that the
fuulight will not fall near the opening,
it is only necessary to employ two mirrors,
usinjr one to reflect the light to the open
ing, and the other to M-nd it down per-
Iteudicu'arly into the water- Linht may
ie thrown fifty or a hundred yard to the
j reeise spot d. sired, and then downward.
Ve hive Used the mirror with mj.-cc-s.
to reflect the light round the field to a
shaded field, and ab-o to carry it from a
pouth window through two rooms and
then into a eisU-rn on the north side of
the house. Half a dozen reflections of
the lipht may be ma?le. though each
mirror diminishes the brilliancy of the
Jieht. Let auy one not familiar with
this method try it ; he will not cn!y find
it uef il. but a r!ea-ant experiment.
It will perhaps reveal a ma-s of sediment
at tha bottom ot the well, that has heen
little thought of, but whicli may have j
been a ource ot disease, ny its uecay
in
the water.
A Beautiful tutoui.
In the mountains of the Tyrol, it is the
custom of the women and children to
come out, wheu it is bedtime, and sing
their national pom-, until they hear
their husbands, father and brothers an
swer them from tho Li Is on their return
home. Ou the shores of the Adriatic
such a custom prevails. There the wives
of the fi-hermeii come down about sun
set and sing a melody. After singing the
firt tan::i, they li-ten awhile for the
answering' strain from o2T the water, and
continue to sing and listen, till the well
known voices come borne on the tide,
telling that the loved one are almost
hot-. How sweet to the weary li-her-man
as the shadow gather round him,
mu--t be the gongs of the loved ones at
home, who sing to cheer him, and how
they strength'. ii and tighten the bonds
that hind together these humble dwellers
Ly the fcv Truly it is among the lowly
of this world that we find some ef the
most beautiful customs in practice.

The sights and sounls of a battle are
well nigh indcsc-ibable. Noise, tumult,
danzer and excitement all blended to
gether make a -eene which I think can
have no parallel m either side of the tn
fenial regions. I uiin? his fir.-t batt'e.
perhaps the novelty of the thing may fill
the recruit with penuine enthusiasm, an
put fear in the bud-ground ; but, after
that, he will find the poetry of the bat
tle field somewhat overdone in "Hohoii
lii. len,,: and fiehting itself rather a pro
taic and dangerous butchery. There is
nothinp less like a pageant, I verily be
lieve, than a battle field. The arms are
not polishel and shining, now, for the
dew of the night's bivouac iu the gra-s
has tarnished them ; very plain b!ou-es
have taken the places of straight-bodied
eorsety jackets; b-!ts are loo-ened, or,
in the fury of fieht are thrown away al
together; shoulder straps and epauletts
ire di-carded, out of wholesome regard
for the enemy's sharp-shooters, and after
the fight ha progressed an hour, you
will find those who are still fighting dirty,
grimmy. laboring to kill the enemy,
with about as hard manual labor as your
wood-sawyer employs on your woodpile:'

Debt.
Debt is a perfect bore. How it haunts
a man from pillow to post ; lurking in
Lis breakfast cup, poisoning his dinner,
embittering his tea I How it stalks
from him like a living, moving skeleton,
seeming to announce his presence by re
counting your liabilities, llowitjtoi
ous his domestic joys, by iutrod paring its
infernal "balance" in the calculation of
madam respecting the price of a new
carpet or a new dres ! How it hinders
dreamy plans for sicculations, andciip
j.les re.-oIutions too good to lie fu'.alle 1.
At bed and board, by night or by day,
inoy oriu gref. in health or in sickness,
at home or abroad, debt grim, gaunt
and shadowy, lalb an incumbrance. As
no presence is too sacred, no gro ind too
holy to deter jhe memory of "bills and
notes payable" from taking immediate
posse.vsioii, so no record is enlivening, no
reminiscence more than the debt has
fallen like a January morning, twenty
tine degrees below zero.
From Surj rise N'alley comes the fol
lowing story of an old fellow who got
very jealous because his young wife went
to a ball with a good looking leliow, and
btai.l out until broad daylight. The old
chap went to a ju-tiee of the peace aud
tcld his story, wiu ding it up with, "I
want yer to help rue for that ar thing
hai leen eoing on 'Inut long enuf."
"Well," -said the justice, "you can
write down to Yreka atid fcee if some of
the lawyers can't jret you a divorce."
"Divorce!" roared the angry man,
"who the d 1 wautd a divorce?"
The justice began Ut get wrathy. "If
you don't want a divorce what the deuce
trought you here ?"'
"Why I 'want an injunction to stop
further proceedings !"

In the absence of ofSeial nws from
the armies, it is believed the Prussians
will not hurry an attack upon Paris, but
turn their attention to the reduction of
Metz, and the destruction of Hazaine's
army, leaving the Crown Prince to cut
the Fren-h communication with Paris
and with McMahon, ami to check, any
forward movement on his part for the
relief of Metz. It is further believed
that the Pru-sians are strong enough to

A special London dispatch to' the

French :orie assiduously spread in Pa

to del iv the advan-.-e of the Crown
Prince, or prevent the detachment of
parts ol Stein metz s and of rnnce
Frederick Charles' foiees to strengthen
the column moving on to Paris. The
Prussian Iront now stretches 30 or 40

marching by Parle Due and Vittray,
while the left wing has enveloped Char
