•etter, (returning a paper uoes no. answer the law)
when a subscriber does not take bis paper i.nt of
the office, end state '.he reasons lor i ' nut being

COTTON IN INDIA.— The total quantity
of land devoted to the growth of cotton
throughout the whole of India does not ex
ceed 5,500,000 acres. If this quantity of
land was as productive in India as it is in
the United States, it would yield something
like four million hales, or half a bale per
acre. But the yield is so much less than
this that of the imports from In
dia in an average yield is not more than a
million and a half of bales of 394 lbs. each.
QUEEN VICTORIA is said to be failing in

ering her Majesty's habits of punctuality,
and the hard labor and anxiety she has un
dergone during her happily protracted reign,
it cannot be a matter of surprise that the
nervous system should become fatigued.

dertake tbe importation of Chinamen on a
huge scale. He will employ alb available

A DEMOCRATIC EXPLOIT.— At last there
is a Democratic State Convention which
i constructs a platform without mentioning
the Fifteenth amendment. This surprising
i exploit was performed last week at Des
Moines by the Democracy of lowa. Tbey
denounce the Maine Liquor Law. a high
protective tariff, and so on, but laid a resolve
against the Amendment on the table. This
is encouraging, and proves the utility of
being beaten. A long succession of severe
| defeats has chastened the Democracy of
lowa into a degree of good sense that their
brethren in some other States have not yet
attained.
AN expert locksmith calied on the officers
of the Ocean National Bank, N. Y., and
offered to pick the combination lock on their
safe, if they would let him. The door was
locked, the President only knowing the com
bination, which was a single one oat of
some millions that the lock afforded, and
then submitted it to the smith, who in a
very fear minutes had it open. So it seems
there is away of overcoming the seeming
impossibility of hitting upon the exact
figures. The locksmith said he could teach
the trick to a person of ordinary capacity in
! a very few minutes.
| THE Boston /Gs-/, the leading Democratic
journal of New England, referring to the
; cowardly attack upon the colored printer
Douglass, says; "We see no reason, if a
negro be respectable, well behaved and com
petent, why he should not be permitted to
follow any avocation he desires, and to serve
whosoever wishes to employ him. One of
the most faithful ore n we ever had in onr
offiee was a negro, who lived with us for
i twenty-five years, and when he died we sin
cerely mourned the loss of a true friend.
VVe think all combiratiins of tbe many who
oppress the few not only unjust, but mean
and cowardly—violations of those personal
rights which arc the vital attributes of lie
! publican liberty."

THE REAPERS.
BV XATBAN t>. VBXE&.
Billows of shadow and brightness fleet
Over the seas of yellowing wheat,
With a steadier glow where the white moon
rests
On the fallen glory of golden cre3ts —
While a livelier hue, as the warm South blows,
With wave on wave to the orchard flows.
Far to the right, a brown-armed row,
I see the stalwart reapers go—
Their shoulders rising and falling free,
Like swimmers thai sport in a summer sea—
While here and there a scythe-blade's blaze
Dips like a dolphin, and ronnd them plays * r
And the jocund shout of the Harvest Home
Floats, mellow and deep, from the jasperfoam.
Straight to the verge of our shaded path,
In regular windrows sweeps the swath
Far behind it btretches away,
Plumed at tbe sides by tawny spray,
And opening, lengthening on to us,
Like the Red Sen path of the Exodus.
Through the '.allowing waves, as the gray
becrdg reel,
Faster aud fuller now swings the steel,
With a fiery flash, as the suubeams writhe
From tip to hasp of tbe sweeping scythe.
There, following, Is the sheaf piled wain,
With the steeds neck-deep in the gofden grain.
And now, to breathe from their task-work
sore,
Tbe dripping toilers have reached the shore.
But a cooling draught from the bubbling
spring.
A jest, a laugh aud some bantering,
Brown foreheads brushed ol the shinning
sweat.
Like jewels of honor there proudly set,
And then, with their backs to the shaven lea,
Another plunge in the amber sea.
A lazy music pervades tbe air,
From thicket, and meadow, and near parterre-,
As if, the leaf coverts and flowers among,
The sleepy soul of tbe sunshine sung.
From the velvety verge or this daring dell
Luxurious languors softly Ewell,
To lull tbe spirit and woo tbe sense
To day dream, sloth and indoleuce. •
But sweeter, pleasanter far to me
Than wind, or bird, or droning bee,
That lusty shout, so cherry and blithe,
That ringing sound of the whetting.scythe.
It speaks of laurels nobly won
By the good strong arm in the good strong
sun
Of energies, heavenly seconded,
To wrest from earth's bo3om the boon of
bread
For wife and little ones—charity—
And tbe hungry myriads over the sea !
It sings a eonst, and au echo springs
World wide and clear, as tbe scythe-blade
rings,
Telling of man and his dignity,
His hope to be noble, his right to be free —
Of ibe God like power io his bosom unfurled,
Of the brawn and body and soul of the world!
RALPH (ULUO EMERSON.
Writes in the morning; and, when not ab
sent in Boston, or away on cue of his annual
lecturing expeditions, is always to be found
at that hour among his book#, in a plain*
front room on the lower floor of the old
fashioned c-'Ur.try heu.-e in which he lives,
and with which a st- re ol engravings hate
made all the world acquainted. We will
enter the low wooden gate of this dwelling,
and pa-iing through the small cheekc-r- ;
board garden, rap at its eld oaken doorway.
Our summon- is answered by a prim serv- j
ing-woman, who scents a queer compound
of steel spring#, Oswego starch, and the !
neatest of Yankee calieo. We are ushered '
into a wide hall, hung with dingy paper and
garnished with an old-fashioned hat-stand,
a broad-brimmed heaver and a big cotton
umbrella. The door at the right now opens
and we arc face to face with the great tran- ;
scendeataiist. There is a smile about Lis
mouth, a pen behind his ear, and two or
three daubs of ink on a- many of bis finger#;
but, holding out both his hand# to us and
saying, "Come in, come in; I am glad to see
you," he leads the way into his study. It
is a low room, about twenty feet square,
with a worn carpet on the floorand the same
dingy paper on the wad#—but this is half
hidden by a score or two of portraits and
engraving®. A round table is against the
wall, and. on it are several open books and
pamphlets, a pen rack and an inkstand, and
a few quires of ordinary packet post paper.
Near the table is a wide arm chair, and
scattered about on the floor, under tbeehair
and under tbe table are, perhaps, a dozen
sheets of freshly written manuscript. The
"philosopher" is at work, and these neatly
penned sheets are a part of his next book,
or new lyceum iecture. Wc fear we have
cut some great thought rudely asunder, and
propose to go, and come again after dinner.
"No, no," he answers; "stay; stay now; a
little talk will brush rnc up; my ideas flow
slowly this morning. But let u# get out of
this den—let us have a whif of tbe fresh
grass in the meadow."
He leads Gift way into another room of
the same size as the former, but looking out
upon a small garden and a broad meadow
that are odorous with the breath of new
mown hay and spring flowers. All sorts of
odd kniek knacks cover the walls and cum
ber the corners of this room, and on two of
its sides are open shelve#, filled with old
volumes in odd and antique binding#, or in
no bindings at all. These are the philoso
pher's stones, by which he transmutes base
metal into gold—rare old tomes, chronicles,
romancists, quaint poetry, and precious
books in blac 1 ' letter, holding in their faded
leaves the i liration of many a dead and
gone century.
But he motions us to a chair by the win
dow, and, setting himself down, open# his
mouth and pours forth a mingled stream of
proverb, poetry and transcendental!#®.
This lasts a quarter of an hour hv the clock,
and then we manage to wedge in a word or
two. and every word is a question.
"You work in the mornirc. Mr. Emer
son?"
"Always in the morning; for then the in- j
tcrect is fresh and the spirits elastic; and, !
toe*, there is something in the morning air
that invigorates the tnicd, frees it from its
trammels and gives it full scope ami action."
"You do not work all the day?"
"Never after dinner, if I can help it. On
plea-ant days I idle away i.he afternoon in
the woods and fields, and then I try to get
as near as I can to oar great intuicr, Na
tern. If I ever have any good thoughts it
'S 'jjfre that they come to me."
' A hi vour good 4bgH!£—do yon thick
step by step, as you do a problem
in mathematics?"
"No; they come of themselves, like a
gleam of light breaking into a dark room, or
a flash of lightning darting across the black
ness of midnight."
And these, his own words, held in a toler
ably retentive memory, afford a key to Em
erson s intellectual character. He simply
announces, he doe# not reason. Truth with
him is found in intuition, not in logic, and
hence, he is a dc<nnati3t and not a philoso
pb* r.
1 ner-on is cce of the wort genial and
of gentlemen; and one forgets, when
listening to the rare music of his conversa
tion, that be is in the presence of one of the
crowned heads of literature. Every one ha#
his own opinion of his writings', we have
our-: and, lest we should be mistaken for
one of hi# followers, we will say that we ad
mire the man more than we do his books.
We never open one of them without being
rt -uinded of what was said to Faust by the
simple-hearted Margaret: "What you say
sounds very fine, and is very nearly what
the priest tells me—only in different words.
For all that, thou hast no Christianity,"
From Emerson to Wendell Phillips is only
twenty miles; and, vet, there is the breadth
of a continent between them. In fact, they
belong to different worlds. One lives in the
idea', the other in the actual; one walk§
with his head iu the cloud-, aud, now and
then, sends down to us the music of that far
up, hyperborean region, the other treads the
solid earth, and, with magic voice, raises or
stills at his will the tempest of human life
that is sleeping or surging around him. But
both have had a mighty influence on the
time, and the memory of both will live when
most other Americans of this century are
forgotten.— Front Packard's Monthly, for
August.
WHAT POSSIULE VALUE WOULD
SUFFRAGE HE TO WOMAN t
We are often asked the question, "On
what do you base your assertion that the
ballot can achieve so much for woman.
It has not "say they," done much for man;
in this country all white rneD vote, and
yet the masses are wretchedly fed, housed,
clothed and poorly paid for their labor.
Ignorant alike of social and political ccon
omy, their voting b a mere form; practi
cally they have no more to do with the
government than the masses in the old
worid who have no representation what
ever."
These wholesale philosopher#-, and w
meet them every day, are incapable of any
patient process of analytical reasoning.
If the moment a man is endowed with
the Suffrage he does not spring up into
knowledge, virtue, wealth and position,
then the right amounts to nothing. If a
generation of ignorant, degraded mer,
whose ncses have been held to the grind
stone all their days, do not voto at once
with the wisdom of statesmen, (hen Uni
versal Suffrage is a failure, and the despot
and the dagger the true government.
Tho careful reader of history will see
that with every new extension of rights a
few step in civilization has been taken,
an] that uniformly those nations have
I-, n most prosperous where the greatest
Dumber of people have been recognized in
t! >. veiDTseut. Contrast China with
Russia, England with the United State-'.
Where tho few govern, the legislature is
for the advantage of the few. Where the
many govern the legislation will gradual
ly become more and more for the advant
age of the many, a# fast as the many know
enough to demand laws for their own ben
efit. This knowledge comes from an edu- j
cation in politics; and a ballot in a mac's
hand and the responsibility of using it, it
the first step in this education. Even if a
man sells hi# ballot, there is power in pos
sessing that a politician must
have or perish. The Southern slaves must
have acquired a new dignity in the scale
of being when Judge Kelly and Senator
Wilson traveled all through the south to
preach to them on political questions.
The thinking men of England, as they
philo-ophize on the abuses of their gov
ernment, see plainly that the only way to
abolish an OTder of Debility, a law of prim
ogeniture and an established church, is to
give the masses a right by their votes to
pitch this triple power into the channel
for all the bulwarks of aristocracy will
one by one, be swept away with the edu
cation and enfranchisement of the people.
Gladstone. John Bright qnd John Stuart
Mill see clearly that the privileges of the
few can be extended to the many only by
the legislation of the many. All the bene
ficial results of the broad principles they
are advocating to-day may not he fully
realized in a generation, but, to the phil
osophical mind, they are as true now as if
| already achieved.
The greatest minds in this country too,
have made most exhaustive arguments to
prove the power of the ballot and recog
trzed the equality of all citizens, in our
Declaration of Rights, in extending suff
rage to all white men, and in the pr NJsi
tion to farther extend it to all b'n -k at
The great Republican party (in which are
many of the ablest men of the nation) de
elare that, emancipation to th black mar,
lisa mockery, without the Suffrage. Yv'hen
j the thinking minds on both continents are
agreed as to the power of the ballot in the
hand of every man, it is surprising to hear
educated Americans ask, "What possible
' value would Suffrage be to woman? W hen
! in the British Parliament, the suffrage was
extended to a million new voters, even
Lord Derby and Disraeli, who were op
posed to the measure, said at once, now,
if this class are to vote, we must establish
school# for their education, showing the
| incieas d importance of every man who
ha? a voice in the government, and the
| new interest of the rulers in his education.
; Where all vote all must l>e educated; our
public schools system is the result of this
principle in our government. When wo
men vote. Harvard, Yale end Princeton wili
' throw wide open their doors.
Women are not anomalous beings out
: side all law, that one need make any spe
cial arguments to prove that what elevates
and dignifies man will educate and dignify
woman also. When he exercises fcer
j right of Suffrage, she will study the sci
ence of government, gain new importance
in the eyes of politicians, and have a free
pass in the world of work. If the tua-ses
j knew their power, they coull turn the
| whole legislation of the country to their
I own advantage, and drive poverty, rags
and ignorance into the Pacific Ocean. If
they would learn wisdom in the National
Labor Conventions and not sell their
votes to political tricksters, a system of
Finance. Trade and Commerce, and Co
operation could soon be established that
would secure the right# of Labor and pat
an end to the concentration of wealth in the
hands of the few.
Labor ho!d3 the ballot now, let it learn
how to use it. Educated women know
how to use it now. let them have iu—Rev
olution.

that when in New Orleans recently he went
to see the canal#and drains which General
Butler ordered dug when he kept the pesti
iential yellow fever out of the city. He
says:
We found them partially filled with filthy
ciud, while the top of the black water was
covered with a thick senm of a yellow blue
, color. The stench from them was nearly
suffocating, and we made ba#te to get on
the windward side, to avoid a retreat toward
the city. The city is on a marsh that is
lower than the river, and stagnant water
would stand hero%t any time of the year,
making it sickly if there were no other ag
gravating causes. But when the offal and
filth of the city is carelessly thrown into
these fever-breeding sloughs and left to de
compose, the effect is terrible. One of the
most rabid rebels we have met in the South
went with us to visit the suburbs, and al
though he said all the had things and told
all the lies he could get into the hour we
were with him, about General Butler, yet
when we asked why the city was not kept
as neat, and those dtains as clean as they
were during the military rule of General
Butler, he expressed his idea of the incom
petency of the city government in very
stlong terms.
"I heaitily wish be was back here," said
he, "to pull these city officials over the
[ coals. Why, the only healthy year thiscity
I ever saw was when he was here to make
tho-e lazy fellows toe the mark. As much
a.- I hate hiiu I wish he was back, and would
vote for him in a mioute."
"I hardly think he would run well for
| Mayor," said we, jokingly.
"Yes, he would, though," said he. "The
people would all vote for him just to spite
the present incompetents."
Later iQ the day, after we had returned to
the Saint Charles Hotel, we had some con
versation with another hater of Butler, and
when we referred to the recent action of the
Legislature in licencing gambling houses,
lottery schemes, and such place#, he ex
claimed :
"Well, after all is said, Butler did one
good thing for the city in suppressing crime.
Icu may not believe it, sir, hut he renova
ted this city, and a rowdy dared not stay
here. Really I wish he cou'd be in com-
I tuand here long enough to clean out these
| gambling dens."
So it was wc went. Men
cursed Butler, wished him all manner of
evil; wanted to fight us for refusing to J ce it
in that light: yet each admitted that he
wished the Genera! wa# hack to summarily
euro urn: evil they hated. Jlut no two
agreed on the same thing.
TIIE FICTITIOUS.
"I want a paper that has long stories in
it." said a young lady; and she added, "I
don't want a paper for anything else."
Poor girl! much to be pitied; and a pitiful
appearance she will make through life, at
the present rate. She wants nothing seri
ous, no acquaintance with the history of her
times, nothing intellectual; nothing but
newspaper novels !
Empty heads they must%e that can find
room every week for some ten columns of a
sham story. Yet these are the heads for
which the weekly press toils and groans,
throwing off by the ten thousands its sheets
of shallow, insipid, and disgusting fiction;
and for this an amount of money is paid
which a sound literature utterly fails to com
mand. Father# and mothers buy this vile
trash for their sons and daughters, and so
ministers to their ignorance and destitution,
of all good taste and fitness for life's duties.
Doubtless the periodical press does more
than any other one instrumentality to de
cide the opinions, habits of thought, and
general character of the age. A family will
very soon begin to show a sympathy with
its weekly paper, and parent and children
wii! soon begin assimilating to it in sentiment
and feeling; and as families are, so is the
community at large. Blind and stupid,
therefore, yea, worse, are those who toler
ate in their houses a class of papers which
arc made up of the writings of silly, igno
i rant scribblers, who would be "at the foot''
: in the town school of good morals. Such
; are teachers of half of the generation.
THE SICK CUAMIIER.
' As this is the season of contagious dis
; eases, a remark of caution to those visiting
; sick rooms may not be out of place. It is
a simple matter to preserve health, pro
vided we understand the plain principles
of nature. In these hot days, many of us.
when called to visit a siek friend, are apt
to rush to the chamber with imprudent
haste, and consequently enter it in a vio
lent perspiration. This should be particu
larly avoided, for if the body is heated
when you enter the room filled with the
unwholesome odors of disease, the moment
i it becomes cold it is most likely to ab
; sorb the infection, thus adding to the
spread of the contagion. Consult prudence
when you visit the sick chamber, and enter
! it only when the system, mental and phy
sical, is free from unnatural excitement.
And remember, that a^ person laboring un
der any contagious complaint should not
be visited with an empty stomach, for at
: sneli fin:"# there is an exhaustion about
; the physical nature which contributes to
the more reedy absorption of drier#:. It
you "ffind between a lire and a diseased
: person, the danger is greater than under
1 other circumstance#, because the heat of
the fire draws the infectious vapor in that
direction, and the system, from the force of
1 concentration, becomes more easily im
pregnated with it. These directions are
simple, and their observance may prove
' highly beneficial to those who are apt to
I act with imprudence, because they give
but little if any thought to the question
| that so nearly affects fhem.

SENTIMENT.
George D. I 'rent ice has been a constant
drinker for forty years. F>t ten yeSrs he
has been a drinker of the lignum vitir
order. Here is a temperance lecture by
him.
"J here are times wlun the pu'se lies low
in the bosom and boats low in the veins;
when the spirit - loops, which, apparently,
knows no wakening. s!e ps in it- house o'
clay, and the window- are shut and the
doors bung in tin* invisible crape of me'an
choiy ; when we wfeh the j.-len tmhioe !
pitchy darkness and wish to Icnrj clouds j
where no clouds I.e. Thf- is a state of sick ;
ness when physic may b- thrown to th • dogs, j
for wo wish none of it. What sha'l make j
the h art beat iu?:-io again, t' ? : throb
(hrouth the myraid thronged hat - h the ■
hou-e ofiife! What thai! make the sua kiss the
eastern hills agaiu for us with all his awak
euing gladness, and the night overflow with
moonlight, love and flowers? Love itself is
the greatest stimulant—the most in toxica
ting of all, and perforins all these miracles ;
but it is cot at the drugstore whatever they
say. The counterfeit is ia the market, but
the winged-God is not a money-ch-toger, we
assure you. Men have tried many things,
still they ad for stimulants. 31en try to
bury the floating dead of their own souls in
the wice cup, but the corpse rises. We see
their faces in the bubble*. The intoxica
tion of drink sets the world whirling again,
and the pulses to playing music, and the
thoughts galloping, but the fast clock iuns
down sooner, and unnatural stimulants only
leave the house if filled with the wiidct:
revelry, more silent, more sad, more desert
ed, more dead. There is only one stimu
lant that never intoxicates, duty. Duty
puts a clear sky over man, into which the
sky lark, happiness, always goes singing."
DISINFECTING AGENT.
Common copperas, which co-ti but three
cents per pound, is perhaps one of the most
efficient and economical disinfecting agents
kuown. If two pounds of copperas be dis
solved iu ten quarts of boiling water, and
the solution poured into gutters, sinks, cess
pools, and other places where filth neoessa
rily accumulates, its deodorising power will
become speedily and convincingly apparent.
I advise eveiy housekeeper to provide a
quantity of the article? and keep it constant
ly on hand, to be used when wanted. The
unpleasant odor emanating from the barn
yard, anil other places where manure is
stored or kept during the hot weather, or
dinarily experienced during the vernal and
summer months, is speedily neutralized by
a slight sprinkling of this solution, as well
as the extremely unpleasant smell engen
dered bv decaying animal and vegetable sub
stance in cellars and oat-houses, and which
it is frequently found difficult to prevent.
Copperas is also an excellent manure. It
acts as an absorbent and fi.nr of the gaseous
and volaiile products of decomposition, and
thus becomes an efficient medium of their
transportation to the fields where they are
i required to give energy to vegetable life,
i And here permit me to mention a few other
I important facts in connection with this sub
j jcet. Sulphuric acid —another cheap arti
cle, which like coppera*, mav be obtained
of the druggists in any d< irafcle quantity,
is also most valuable artiei. for this pur
pose 11' used in a dilute state.-end sprink
led over th floors of stables and other build
ings where animals arc kept, it will in a
short time disinfect the same of all nauseous
and unpleasant odors, and render the at
mosphere p rfectly pure and sweet. Like
copperas, it is also a good manure. Anoth
er article of great efficiency is found by slak
ing quick lime to a thick, plastic, mu^hcon
sistence, with water saturated with salt.
This is what may be properly called domes
tic chloride of lime, being in every respect
iimiliar to, if not strictly identical with the
chloride of lime found at the shops, al
though it comes at less than one-twentieth
I the cost.
WE have often thought it remarkable that
buaaess men could be EO blind to their own
interests as to fail to use the commonest and
most ordinary means for the advancement
of their different pursuits. Of course we
refer to newspaper advertising. This is no
new idea, born of our connection with the
press, and selfish in its nature. We enter
tained precisely the same view years ago,
and regarded that policy as narrow minded
jn the extreme which refused to invest a
few dollars that hundreds might bo real
ized, or higgle at the price of an advertise
ment and conclude that the expense might
be avoided. No sane man now a-days pre
tends to deny the utility and advantage of
newspaper advertising. AH experience and
observation proves that, almost without ex
ception, the men who have largely realized
money and become wealthy through trade
and business, are tbe men who advertised
the most. It is unnecessary to cite in
stances. You can scarcely pat your finger
upon the name of a successful merchant or
or man of business in the United States,
who is not a living illustration of this fac*.
We know that many of our business men
here regard it as useless to advertise in a
community like thi . It is a mistaken idea
however. The necessity is just as great in
proportion here as anywhere the. It wi:l
be found that the most liberal advertisers
here arc most successful in business, acd
realize the greatest profits.
SATURDAY .N K;IIT. —Somebody gets off
the following beautiful paragraph on the
closing night of tbe week. There is a
volume of truth and sente ia it/
"Saturday night makes people human,
sets their hearts to beating softly, as they
used to do before the world turned them
into war drums and jarred them to pic-ce
with tattoos. The ledger closes with a
clash; the iron doorcd vaulrs come to with
a bang, up go the shutters with a will,

FLOWERS AND Mrrsic.—Yes, two gifts
God has bestowed opnn u, that hare ia
themselves, no guilty trait, and show an es
sential divinene-s. Music is one of these
which seems as if it were born of death, but
lingers with us from the gates of heaven ;
music, which breathes over the gross or sad
or doubting heart, to in-pire it with a con
sciousness of its own mysterious affinities,
and to touch the chords of its unsuspected,
undeveloped life. And the other gift is
that of fh were, which, though born ofeartb,
we tnay well believe if anything of earthly
soil i- in the higher realm, if any of its
methods are continued, if any of its forms
are identic d, they will live on the banks of
the river of R" . Fiowers! that in our
gladness and in our sorrow are never incon
gruous—always apj ropriate. Appropriate

social themes, and blending their sweetness
with the incense of prayer. Appropriate

YOUNG MAN, YOU'RE WANTED.—A lady
writer under this heading, hits off the men
as follows:
"A woman wants yon. Don't forget Ler.
Don't wait to be rich; if you do, ten to one
you are not fit to be married. Marry while
you are young and struggle up together.
But mark, young man, the woman don't
want you if she is to divide her affections
with a cigar, spittoon or whisky jug. Neith
er docs she want you if you don't take care
of her and the little '"after thoughts" which
are sure to follow. Neither docs she want
you simply because you are a man, the def
inition of which is too apt to bo an animal
that wears bifurcated garments on his lower
limbs, a quarter section of stovepi|>e on his
head, swears like a pirate, and is given to
filthy practice generally. She wants you
for a companion, a help mate—she wants
you to have learned to regulate your appe
tite and passions ; in short in the image of
God, not in the likeness of a beast,"
CURIOUS PROPERTY OF IKON.—IU 1850,
3lr. Marsh, an able chemist of the royal ar
sons', England, discovered that it is invari
able with iron which has remained a consid
erable time under water, "when reduced to
small grains or an impalpable powder, to
become red-hot, and ignite any substance
with which it comes in contact. This he
found by scraping some corroded metal from
a gun, which ignited the paper containing
it, and burnt a hole in his pocket. The
knowledge of this fact ia of immense impor
tance. as-it may account for many fjrontane
ous fires and explosions, the origin of which
has not been traced. A piece of rusty iron,
brought in contact wiih a bale of cotton in a
warehouse or i n shipboard. may occasion
extensive conflagrations and the loss of ma
ny lives. The tendency of moistened parti
cl v f i nto ignite was discovered by the
French chemist, Lotua-y, as far back as
1670.
