Grant, at Memphis, in honor of the opening of the Mississippi: The daring Spaniard, when his eyes Beheld, For the first time, yon noble riVer roll, And sparkle in the sunbeams, as it bore Its mighty current onward to the sea, Fell upon bended knee and worshipped God Aloud, for that his painful task was done. The secret of the ages he had solved- The Mississippi, sire of floods, stood forth, Embanked in verdure, bordered by a soil Kicher than Egypt’s delta. , Science and commerce winged their pinions there, And wrote his hake, De Sotq, on their scrolls. Ages rolled by, the tawny savage fled — The white man launched his boats upon the flood, The torest fell, the fertile soil gave back Unto the sower’s hand a hundredfold: Then rose the genius Fulton, and he taught To stem the uncqnquered flood, to push the weight Of mightiest keels against the heaving mass, That untold centuries had crowned with power. He sent his messengers in smoke and flame Up to the Mississippi’s very fount, And by the Spaniard’s name he wrote his own— Fulton, the nation's benqfactor.. Ton sire of floods was the .great bond that joined These waters into one: his bosom bore , In precious freightage all that nature yields ' From farthest N ortn down to a torrid clime; Its channel was the highway of the West: Science had made his heaving mass her own; ■ Beauty and lore dwelt by him all Fraternal hands joined hands along his banks; His very waters uiade u‘s all akin. Then spoke an enemy—and on his banks , , , Armed toon appealed, and cannon shot proclaimed The Mississippi closed—the mighty stream Found by De Soto and by Fulton, won 1, One thought to chain him J ignominious thought! But then the grand old monarch shook his locks And burst the fetters like a Samson freed! ; The heights were crowned with ramparts sheltering those Whose treason knew no bounds: the frowning forts Belched lightnings, and the morning gun A thousand miles told mournfully the tale, The Mississippi closed. Not long j from the’ Lord God pf Hosts was sent A leader who with patient vigil planned A great deliverance: height by height was-gained, Island and hill and woody bank.and cliff, Month followed month, till on oiir natal day The .last great barrier fell, and never more r l The Sire of Waters shall obstruction know! Now with D'e Sotti'a name, add Fulton’s, see The greater name of Grant | Our children's* children, noble Grant, shall sing That great deliverance 1 On the floods of spring Thy name shall sparkle, smiling commerce tell Thy great achievement which restores the chain, Never again to break, which makes tis one. < TRUE COURAGE* ‘Boys,’ said oiie of our brave soldiers, ‘you had better be heroes dead, than cowards living.’ Those words of a true patriot, soldier, and Christian now gdne to his reward, were spoken during a fit of momentary delirium, as he lay suffering under the effects of a surgical opera tion. * Although not rational when uttering these noble w6rds, yet they were the real senti ments, of the fury of the savages, the whole shor§j lined with the huge forms of these swarthy islandii erg. He brought his vessel to a stand, and all his associates knelt with him in prayer. At this the chief of the savages sprang into the water close by the boat, seized it with his hand and ex -1 claimed: “Son, will you not come to us on the land ?” The missionary replied; I have beard you are very savage; you have previously made way with two boats. Will you not hurt me if I come ? “ 0,” exclaimed the chief, “we are not savages any more, we are Christians.” “You Christians!” asked Williams in joyful. sur prise ; “where did you hear of Christianity?” This was the answer: “ A great chief from the country of the white man, named Williams came to Savaii twenty moons ago and left behind some teachers of religion- So;ne of our people were there and began, on their return, to teach their friends, of whom many ai-e now sons of the word. There they are; don’t you see them?” And in fact, separated from the multitude that lined the shore, under the shadow of a wide spreading tree, sat about fifty persons together, each with a white cloth around the arm. Upon the mission ary’s asking what that meant, the chief said: “ They are Christians, that white cloth is to dis tinguish them from the heathen.” Williams cried out: “I am the man of whom you speak \ my name is Williams. I brought the teachers of religion to Savaii twenty moons ago.” With that the chief gave a sign and the whole multi tude bounded into the sea. In a moment they were at the boat, raised it up and bore it, amid loud cries, with all its freight to the shore. As soon as they were landed, the chief gave his hand to Williams and led him to the company of Christians. To his question where they had learned the Christian religion, one of the num ber stepped out and related how he had been in company with the teachers of religion and h-owhe afterwards had attempted to instruct his country men. “There," he continued, “ is'our chapel, do you see it?” and he pointed to thedark shade of a group of bread fruit and banana trees, amid which appeared, the thatched roof of a small place of worship. They went to it and Williams asked “ who holds service on your sacred days ?” “I,” was the answer. “And who taught you?” “ Why,” said he"have you not seen the little ca noe lying sidewise on the shore ? That is my boat in which I journey to the teachers, procure a supply of religion, bring it carefully back, and give it to the people. When that is gone Igo again and procure a new supply, and now you are here—we have looked for you so long. Where have you got our teachers-? Give me a man who is full of religion, so that I need not go such perilous jburneys to get it.” The tears trickled from the eyes of the dark man when Williams told him he was not able to bring teachers with him for this island. Miozvilautono. FACTS AND FREAKS OF CUBEENCY. Many things have been used at different times as money: cowrie shells, in Africa;. wajnpum by American ludians; cattle in ancient Greece. The Carthaginians used leather as money, probably bearing some mark or stamp. Frederic 11., at the siege of Milan, issued stamp leather as mo ney. In 1360, John the Good, King of France, ; who was taken prisoner by tbe celebrated Black Prince, and sent to England until ransomed, also issued leather money, having a sniaii silver nail in-the centre. Salt is the common money in Abyssinia; ‘codfish in Iceland and Newfoundland. “ Living money,” slaves and oxen, passed current with .the Anglo-Saxons, in payment of: deßts, Adam Smith says that’ in his day there was a village in Scotland where it was not uncommon fur workmen to carry nails, instead of mo'ne'y, to the baker’s-shop and the ale-honse. Mareo Polo found in China money made of the bark of the mulberry tree, bearing the stamp of the sovereign, which it was death to counterfeit. Tobacco was generally used as money in Virginia up to 1660, i fifty-seven years after the foundation of that col ony. In 1641, the Legislature of Massachusetts enacted that wheat should be received in payment of all debtsj-and the convention in France, during the revolution, on a proposition of Jean-Bon-Saipt Andre, long discussed the propriety of adopting wheat as money, as the-measure of value of all things. •Platina was coined in Russia from 1828 to 1845. But the metals best adapted and most generally used as coin are copper, nickel, silver, and gold, the two first being now used for coins of small value, to make change; the two latter, com monly designated “ the precious metals,” as mea sures of value as legal tenders. On the continent of Europe, a composition of silver and copper, called billion, has long been used for small coins, which are made current at a much higher value. : than that of the metals they contain. In China, Syeee silver is the .principal currency, and is . merely ingot silver of an uniform fineness, paid and received by weight. Spanish dollars also circulate there, but only after they have been as sayed and stamped as proof that they are of the standard fineness. As Asia Minor produced gold, • its earliest coinage was of that metal. Italy and ' Sicily possessing copper, bronze was first coined ; there. Herodotus says the Lydians were the first people known to have coined gold and silver They had gold coin at the close of the* ninth century b. c;”Greeee Proper onl/at the close of the eighth century b. c. Servius Tullius, King of Rome, made the pound weight of copper cur-, rent money. The Romans first coined silver 281 B. c., and gold 207 b. c. —Moran on Money. HOW TO SWEEP A CARPET- Take a common wash-tub, or some vessel large enough to admit a broom freely, and put in clean cold water to the depth of a foot or more. Then take a broom (one partly worn!so as to be a little stiff is the best,) dip it in six inches or so and hold it over the tub, or go out doors and knock off all the drops of water. This can be done most effectually ■ by holding it in one hand : and rapping it with the other on the broom corn above where It is wet. Commence brushing lightly at first, going over with it the second i time, or more, and if your carpet is very dusty, '.do .not sweep more than a square yard or two be.fpre dipping your broom into the water again j this will rinse off all the particles df dust adher ing to the broom. : Rap off the drops of water as before, and begin again,'continuing to do .so till the whole is cleaned. Should the water get very dirty before- completing the room it ean be changed. One who has never tried the experi ment, will probably be surprised at the quantity of dirt which will be washed from the broom into the water. A carpet can be cleaned more effectually in tbis-way than it can possibly be ; done with a dry broom, as the particles of dust adhere to the broom instead of rising to fall back on the carpet. There is no danger of : injuring even a fancy .carpet, if the drops of water are thoroughly removed from the broom. Let no one try who has not time and patience. THOUGHT ESSENTIAL TO HEALTH. If we would have our bodies: healthy, our -brains must be used, and used in orderly and .vigorous ways,'that the life-giviDg streams of ; force may flow down from them into the exact ant organs, which can minister but as they are ministered unto. We admire the vigorous animal - life of the Greeks; and with justice we recognize, and partly seek.to imitate, the various gymnastic and other means which they em ployed ti secure it. But probably we should make a fatal error if we omitted from our calcu culation the hearty and generous earnestness with which the highest subjects of art, specula tion, and politics were' pursued by them. Sure ly, in their case, the beautiful and energetic mental life was expressed in the athletic and graceful frame. And is it a mere extravagance to ask whether some part of the lassitude and weariness of life, of which we hear so much in our.day, may not be due to lack of mental.occu pation on worthy subjects, exciting and "repaying a generous enthusiasm, as well as to an over exercise on lower ones; whether an engrossment on matters which have not substance, enough to justify or satisfy the mental,grasp, be not at the root of .some part of the maladies which affect our mental convalescence ? Any one who tries it soon finds out how disproportionately exhaust ing, is an overdose of light literature, compared with an equal quantity of time spent on real work. Of this we may be sure, that the due exercise of brain'—of thought—-is one of the essential elements of human life. The perfect health of man is not the same as that of an ox or horse. The preponderating capacity of his ner vous parts demands a corresponding life. HOW TO MAKE CIDER VINEGAR. A correspondent wishes to know the most expeditious way of making vinegar out of cider. Probably as godd a course as he can adopt is to keep the cidej - in a pretty warm temperature, as near summer heat as practicable, and allow the air to havejaecess to it. The usual prac tice is to leave the bung of the cask out, and place a bottle, neck downward, over the bung hole. The usej of the bottle is to turn the rays of light on the liquor, which promotes decom position. There are ways by which cider can be changed info vinegar more rapidly, hut un less the business is to be followed up on a large scale, it may not'be an object to adopt the pro cess; the eideij is made to flow through troughs in a thin sheet, in order to expose it as much as possible air. Shavings of oak wood are sometimes placed in the troughs, to render the action of the air more direct on the liquor. By having several of these troughs, or a long length in the aggregate, cider may be converted into, vinegar by once miming through.-— Poston. Cultivator. >, Raising a Steamer by Balloons—M. Baur, an engineer, has raised a steamer which sank 2 years ago in the Lake of Constance. The en gineer, in order to raise the vessel, which was lying at the depth of seventy feet, made use .of an apparatus of his own invention. By means of divers, he attached to her, one on each side, two large balloons, made of water-proof linen’ which he filled with air. When the expansion had become sufficient, a'movement was observed in the water, which looked as if boiling, and the vessel came to the surface. Virtually, the same thing has been done in this country, with water-tight casks and Inditf-rubber camels. Carrier Pigeons vs. Locomotives— lt ap pears from a trial lately made at Bnurges that carrier pigeons can still compete in speed with railways. Last week. 145 pigeons were libe rated at Bourges- at five o’clock in the morning to decide a wager. The first prize was gained by a pigeon which arrived at his pigeon-house atVerviers at fifty-four minutes past twelve. The last arrival was at. eleven minutes past one. Thus in less than nine hours these birds performed a distance of 150 leagues, or 3*75 miles, speed which no French railway can equal. Barbarous Musical Instrument. —The Caf fre lyre is a bent bow, strung with twisted hair, which, when jbeaten with a stick, will give out four or five distinct tones. The Maeabera piano is a series of sonorous wooden bars, eaehbaeked by a sounding chamber, formed of the rind of a dried and hardened fruit. It has one or two notes, which resemble those .of a cracked bell. A nice instrument for an amateur, or evening party. Hoeing Cabbages.— We were recently in the garden of. a friend, who_is an early riser. On alluding to the vigorous growth and healthy appearance of his cabbages and cauliflowers, he remarked: “If you want good cabbages, you must hoe them, every morning before : 5 o’clock.” This was intended as a gentle hint that he thought we did not get up as early in the morn ing as a good gardener should. Rut be this as it may, there can be no doubt that cabbages and all similar plants are greatly benefitted by repeated hoeings. —Genesee Farmer. jpwjfemi.uis!. ANDREW BlrAIjR, HENRY C.

Draped inside throughout with Cashmere, Satin, or other material, and constructed substantially air-tight by the novel indention of patent Circular Ends, with out any joints, making it impossible for oxygen to pe netrate from the outside, thus rendering them more durable, and better adapted to the purposes for which they are needed. They are tastefully manufactured from grained Rose wood, Mahogany, Black Walnut ; and other materials that render them less expensive and place them with in. the means of persons of moderate circumstances, and all finished according to the wishes and taste of those giving the orders. - * While the Casket retains all the requisites of an ap propriate receptacle for the dead, its construction and appearance is such, as entirely to do away with all dis agreeable and unpleasant sensations. There is noth ing in the arrangement or shape of the Casket, that is in the remotest degree repulsive, but quite the con trary, it is beautiful. And surely that which tends in any degree to soften the poignancy of grief in the hour of bereavement, must commend itself to the fa vorable consideration of every afflicted heart, p.nd y The Caskets when required, are made air-tight, emitting no offensive odor, and. hence are specially valuable in the removal of deceased bodies from any of the battle fields, and other distant points to remote localities for interment, and are not Cable to the ob jections frequently made by Railroad Companies, when offered for transportation with the usual prepa rations. r We guarantee, in oar hands,,-the removal of the dead with perfect safety, no matter how long buried, and if recently interred, in a good state of preserva tion, and without the least unpleasant odor, or we will make no gliarge for the Casket. The Caskets are furnished at one-half the cost of the so-called metallic coffin. N.B. —We expect to visit the different battle fields weekly. . The undersigued also offers to the public m gene ral, his Patent Corpse Preserver, a New Invention, dor the preservation of the bodiesof deceased persons, by coid air alone, and without the application of ice, which is so repugnant to the feelings- By the use of ■this Preserver, the funeral may be deferred for weeks, If necessary, to await the arrival of absent friends, as by "the cold air process, the corpse will keep much longer than in the ordinary way of pressing the body down with from fifty to a hundred pounds of ice, and saturating it with water.

AYERS’ SAESAPAEILLA, THE WORLD'S GREAT REMEDTEOR Scrofula and Scrofulous Diseases. From Emery Bdes, a well-known merchant of Oxford, Maine. I have sold large quantities of your Sarsaparilla, but never yet one bottle which failed of the desired effect and full satisfaction to those who took it. As fast as ourpeople try'it, they agree there has been no medicine like it before in our community. ” Eruptions, Pimples, Blotches, Pustules, Di cers, Scores, and all Diseases of the Skin. From Rev. Robt. Stratton, Bristol, England. “ I only do my duty to you and the public, when I add my testimony to that you publish of the medicinal virtues of your Sarsaparilla. My daughter, aged ten, had an afflicting hum or in her ears, eyes, and hair for years, which we were unable to cure until we tried your Sarsaparilla. She has been well for some months.” From Mrs. Jane E. Rice, a well-known and mucli-es- teemed lady of Dennisville, Cape May Co., N.J. 4 My daughter has suffered for a year past with a scrofulous eruption, which was very troublesome. Nothing afforded any relief until we tried your Sarsa parilla, which soon completely eured her.” : ■' From Charles P. Gage, Esq., of the widely-known Gage, Murray & Co., manufacturers of enamelled pa pers in Nashua,' N. r H. “I had for several years a very troublesome humor m my face, which grew constantly worse until it dis figured my features and became an intolerable afflic tion. I,tried almost every thing a man could of both advice and medicine, but without any relief whatever, until I took your Sarsaparilla. It immediately made my face worse, as you told me it might for a time: hut in a few weeks the new skin began to form under the blotches, and continued until my face is as sinooth as any body’s, and lam without any symptomb of the disease that I know of. I enjoy perfect health, and without a doubt owe it to your Sarsaparilla.” Erysipelas—General Debility—Purify the Blood. From Dr. Robt. Sawin, Houston St., New York. Dr. Ayer. I seldom fail to remove Eruptions: and Scrofulous Sores by the persevering use of your. Sarsaparilla, and I have just now cured an attack of Malignant Erysipelas with it. No alterative we' possess equals the Sarsaparilla you have suppliedto the profession as well as to the people.” From J. E. sJohnston, Esq., Wakeman. Ohio. “For twelve years, I had the yellow Erysipelas on my right arm, during which time I tried all the cele brated physicians I could reach, and took hundreds of dollars worth of medicines.' The ulcers were so bad, that the cords became visible, and the doctors decided' that my arm must be amputated. I began taking your Sarsaparilla. Took two bottles, and some of your Pills. Together they have cured me. lam now as well and sound as any body. Being in apublie place, my case is known to every body in this community, and excites the wonder of all.” From Ho n. Henry Monro, M P., of Newcastle, C. W., a leading member of the Canadian Parliament. “ I have used your Sarsaparilla in my family, for general debility, and for purifying the blood, with very beneficial results, and feel confidence in commending it to the afflicted.” St. Anthony's Fire, Rose, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Sore Eyes. From Harvey Siekler, Esq.j the able editor of the Tunkhannock Democrat, Pennsylvania. “Our only child, about three years of age, was at tacked by primples on his forehead. They rapidly spread until they formed aloathsome and virulentsore, which covered his faee ; and actually blinded his eyes for some days. A skilful physician applied nitrate of silver and other remedies, without any apparent effect. For fifteen days we guarded his hands, lest with them he should tear open the festering and cor rupt wound which covered his whole face. Having tried every thing else we had any hope from, we began giving your Sarsaparilla, and applying the iodide of potash lotion, as you direct. The sore began to heal when we had given the first bottle, and was well when we had finished the second. The child's eyelashes, which had come out, grew again, and he is now as healthy and fair as any other. The whole neighbor hood predicted that the child must die.” Rheumatism, Gout, Liver Complaint, Dyspep sia, Heart Disease, Neuralgia, when caused by Scrofula in the. system, are rapidly cured by this Ext.

Firm Rev- Jl 'Mewtm Brown, D, ZX, Editor of the Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge. Although hot disposed ‘ to fevor or recommend Patent Medicines hi general,' through distrust of their ingredients and. effects; I yet know of no sufficient reasons why a man may not testify to the benefits to believes himself to have received from any simple preparation, in the hope that he may thus contribute to the benefit of others. X do this more readily in regard to Hoofiand’s German Bitters, pre pared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, of this city, because X was prejudiced against them for many years, under the impression that they were chiefly an alcoholic mixture; lam indebted to my friend Robert Shoemaker, Esq., for the removal of this prejudice by proper teste, and for encouragement to try them, when suffering from great and long-continued debility. The use of three bottles of these Bitters, at the beginning of the. present year, was followed by evident relief/and restoration to a degree of bodily and mental vigor which I had not frit for six months before, and had almost despaired of regaining. I therefore thank God and my friend for directing me to the use of them. , June 23,1861. * J. NEWTON BROWN. PARTICULAR NOTICE.
