This Solution, when properly used, effectually pre vents fermentation or decoy of Fruits, and, by the most simple and inexpensive process. every variety may be kept in a fresh and perfectly wholsome condition the year round. It Is no new and uncertain experiment, but has been in practical use for the past eight years, yet has been, for the most part, kept from the public for the purpose of ascertaining the re'elt of a series of ex pel iments, all of which have proved Ike validity of all that is now confidently claimed for it. Fruits preserved by this Solution are as good as the best "canned" fruits, while the ass of the solution avoids the trouble of sealing, costly jars or coos, keeping from the air and light, frequent examinations, and the many other troubles and annoyances troll known to every housewife. Ft esh native fruits the year round ban become almost a household necessity, both on Occount of their healthful flees and as a luxury; and by the use of this solution this groat luxury is within the reach of every family, rich or poor, In the land, na all kinds of fruit may be preserved during pleasure at less than ono•half the expense of any other method. The solution is perfectly free from 'objection on tbe score of health. Professor Bache, under date "U. 9. Na val Laboratory, New York, September 14, 1564," says : "By direction of tho Chief of the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, 1 hero examined your Preserving Solution, and meats nod fruits preserved by it. I have is high opinion of its value, and believe it can be used in the preserva tion of those articles in is fresh stote for the army nod navy very advantageously. The Solution Is pet teeny free front objection on the score of healtbfulttets." Other certificates from distinguished chemists, confirm ing the above, can be seen nod had where the solution Is sold. It it claimed: 1. That Spear's Solution preserves the flavor of all kinds of native fruits more perfectly and durably than can ho done in any other way, and et much less trouble and expense; 2. That the use of the Solution renders it unnecessary to use airdiglit or expensive jars or cans, and also avoids the inconvenience 05 hermetically sealing and keeping. from the air, heat. light., etc.; 3. That Cie Ilfie of the Solution admits of the keeping of the fruit Ia vessels orally aloe, even in kegs or barrels if desirable; 4. That the use of the Solution allows the shipment of the fruit by salt or fresh *inter, in the hottest weather, nitbuut danger of loss or injury ; O. That it is invaluable in the preserving of Tomato, peach, pear, Apple, Quince told other Sauces, %Vines and Cider; also for all kinds of Spiced Fruits; that these alone recommend It to every family, and to um it once wilt guarantee their approval.

SEPTEMBER DAYS In flickering light and shade the broad stream goes, With cool, dark nooks and checkered, rip pling shallows ; Through reedy fens its sluggish current flows, Where lilies grow and purple blossomed mallows. The aster-blooms above its eddies shine, With pollonod bees about them bumming slowly, And in the meadow-lands tho drowsy kino Making musio with their sweet bolls, tink ling slowly. The shrill cicala, on the hillside tree, Sounds to its mate a note of love or warn ing, •And turtle-doves re-oeho, plaintively, From upland fiolds, a soft, melodious mourning. A golden haze conceals tho horizon, A golden sunshine slants across the mea dows; The pride and prime of Summer-time is gone, But beauty lingers in these Autumn shad owe. The wild-hawk's shadow fleets across the grass, Its softened gray the softened green out vying ; And fair scenes fairer grow while yet they pass, As breezei freshen when•the day is dying. 0 erceet September ! thy first breezes bring The dry leaf's rustle and the squirrel's laugh tor, The cool, fresh air, whenco health and vigor spring, Am! promiso of exceeding joy hereafter. Society, What is society, anyhow? A clique assembles and calls itself society. An other clique assembles and announces that it is society also. Perhilts an other clique may arise, and many oth ers, and each clique wars against the others, sneers and backbite; and as sumes all sorts of airs. All this re minds us of the circles in Dante's "In ferno," where the different grades of punishment are meted out. But the sufferings, the heart-hurnings and bit terness of the sufferers in the "Inferno" are nothing• compared with those in the different circles of society. The dreadful struggle to "rise" and gain "position" is something so utterly fool ish that we can (to be charitable) only pity those who make innumerable sac rifices to gain another step on the lad der of fashion, which is like Jacob's ladder, only devils, instead of angels, ascend and descend. Oh, the struggles to got into Mrs. Washington Highflyer's "set!" Oh, the insults and slights to be undergone in the attempt ! Poor, silly creatures! Better be happy in a quiet way, know ing those for whom you care sincerely, than sacrifice almost everything on the altar of the inexorable god, Mammon, in an endeavor to be envied by ir select few who belong to the "old families, whose grandfathers fought in the Rev olution, my dear, (and were probably Hessians!) and who can trace their descent from the Poldoody's who camp over after the battle of Hastings." In this free land—this now land—where there aro no kings or queens or Milor Beefs, the attempt to scare up an aris tocracy is amusing. Tusb, tush ! What if your father was a butcher, or a shoe maker, or a drayman? Was ho an honest man ? Ayo, sir, ho was indeed! Thank God for that, then, and be proud of him ! Wo are all snobs. The sons and daughters of the butcher or shoemaker or drayman aro sorry their fathers were such. Reasonable enough! Would they could have boon landed gentle men. But because they were not, is no reason why the children should blush for them. Pride is a good thing —it teaches us to live honorably, for our own sakes and tho sake of our obit dren—but when it tends to snobbish nose, it is time to check it, Avoid "so ciety." It is a social poison, and Mrs. Washington Highflyer is a cobra di capello. Live happily—livo for your family—and as for "society"— bah, we won't mention it! Lot it go! It is a laughable delusion, and . we, who have not the glamour over our eyes, can smile pityingly when wo see its vota ries offering up everything at its shrine, and then falling dead before the heart less deity on discovering that all their• efforts have come to naught. Vol:cum LANGUAGE —Thorn is as much connection between tho words and thoughts as there is between the thoughts and the actions. The latter aro not only the expressions of the for mer, but they have the power to react upon the soul and leave the Stain of their corruption there. A young man who allows himself to make use of one vulgar or profane word has not only shown that thera is a foul spot upon hie mind, but by the utterance of that word ho extends tho spot anti inflames it, till, by indulgence, it will pollute the whole soul. , Bo careful of your words, as they show your thoughts. If you can control the tongue so that no improper words aro pronounced by it, you will soon be able to control the mind, and save that from corruption. You will extinguish the fire by smoth ering it, or by preventing bad thoughts from bursting out in language. Never utter word anywhere which you would be ashamed to speak in the presence of the most refined femalo or religious man. Try this practice a lit tle while, and you will soon have com mand of yourself. =I tl-We trace an effect to a cause, and that cause to another cause, and so on, till we bold some few links of a chain whose extent is without begin ning as without end. -PERSEVERE.- Letter from Mr. Wm, Lloyd Garrison on the Temperance Question, The London Daily News, of Septem ber 4th, publishes the following : The usual annual fete and concert of the Band of Hope Union, and other socie ties connected with the temperance and total abstinence movement, took place yesterday at the Crystal Palace. The attendance was immense—the central transept and the nave and side aisles for a considerable distance on either side between crowded almost to excess. Considerable disappointment was occasioned by the announcement made at the commencement of the pro ceedings that Mr. William Lloyd Gar rison-, whose name had been published as one of the intended speakers, would not be present, and in the course of the day the following letter from that gen tleman was road : GENEVA, Switzerland, Aug. 30.—Dear Mr. R ao * * * What can I say that has not already been said and repeated a mil lion times over,,in words of warning, entrea ty, affection, and love, respecting the omni present curse of intemperance, and the sol emn duty of all who claim to be animated by the sentiments of humanity, or governed by the principles of Christianity, to labor for the removal of that curse from the earth by an uncompromising testimony against the habit ual and moderate use of intoxicating drinks? The sure, the only remedy is to be found in obedience to the saving injunction, "Touch not, taste not, handle not." There are many evils of colossal dimensions which are merely local, and bounded by certain . degrees of lati toile and longitude. The evil of intemper ance follows the sun• in its circuit, overleaps all geogrephical boundaries, disregards all differences of climate, conquers all nationali t es, and covers the whole earth with its deso lating tracks. For the last three centuries chattel slavery has oureed almost exclusively the African race; but intemperance scoffs at all complexional, all tribal distinctions, and, whether in barbaric or civilized elimes,among "Greenland's icy mountains," or on "Afric's coral strand"—whether in Heathendom or Christendom—strikes down its victims by the same process, end sends them to the same premature grave. Undoubtedly, it would bo taking an inadequate view to ascribe its aw ful prevalence wholly to any ;one custom or habit. It has its -root--tn_opOesettm,...tgnor once, degradation, poverty, dqlusion, sensu alism, a passion for abnorinal Oxeiteinent, the supremacy of the animal over the spiritual nature, the lack of steady and remunerative labor. But its most productive cause, by far, is to be found in the intoxicating and seduc tive quality of nlealtol itself, and in the con sequent US3 of it as a beverage, more or less diluted, among all classes of society. Mode rato drinking is the immediate cause of all the immoderate drinking in the world ; and when it is banished from society as a habit or fashion, the work of reformation will be transcendently glorious. Of the myriads who have gone down to thmekurds' graves, not ono purposely sought his miserable fate, or failed to find it through the trap door of moderate drinking. As in the struggle - for the abolition of negro slavery, it was the so-called benevo lent, tender-hearted, Christian slaveholdors, nom the brutal overseers and drivers, that constituted the body-guard of the infernal system, warding off all attanks upon it on ac count of their reputedly upright character, so in regard to intemperance, it finds its shelter and source, nut among its victims reeling in the streets or lying in the gutter, but in the persistent habits of otherwise respectable cud often exemplary men, sometimes oven refor mers in other directions, who, holding the doctrine of total abstinence to be absurd or fanatical, and the use of intoxicating stimu lants (in moderation, of course,) to he not only quite innocent, but essential to good fel lowship, generous haepitality, and good phy sical condition, daily set an example at their own tables or at the festive board which is very potential for evil. What mere can be done to arouse them to a consciousness of the fact that they i are among the greatest stum bling-blocks n the way of the progress of th 9 temperance movement? Trusting that your vast gathering at the Crystal Palace, as now designed, will give a fresh impetus to that movement. I remain yours, in the patience of hope and the labor of love. WiLtaan Lt,oru Gann - me:9. ROBERT RAE, Esq. Is THERE A HORSE-HEAVEN 7—Rev. henry Ward Beecher, in his story in the New York Ledger, discusses the question, through two of his favorite characters, in the following quaint manner ; "1 toll you," said ITiram, turning slightly toward the doctor, "theso hor ses aro jest as near human as is good for 'em. A good horse has sense jest as much as a man has; and he's proud too, and he loves to be praised, and he knows when you treat him with re spect. A good horse has the best, pints of a-man, without, his fhilin's." "What do you think becomes of hor ses, Hiram, when they die?" said Rosa. "Wal, Miss Rose, it's my opinion that there's use for horses hereafter, and that you'll find there's a horse heaven. There's Scripture for that, too." ".4h l" said Bose, a little surprised at these confident assertions. "What Scripture do you mean ?" "Why in the book of Revelations Don't it give an account of a white horse, and a red horse, and black horses and gray horses ? I've idlers s'posed that when it said Death rode on a pale horse, it must have been gray, 'cause it had mentioned white once already. In the ninth chapter, too, it says there was an army of two hundred thousand horsemen. Now, I should like to know where they got so many horses in Heaven if none of 'ern that die off here go there? It's my opinion that a good horse's a darned sight likelier to go to Heaven than a bad man !" ve,„., A member of the bar once en tered the Court of Appeals of Now York 'While a counsellor was arguing an important ease, "Who is that gen tleman addressing the Court?" said he, speaking to Charles O'Connor, who was sitting• near him. "That, sir, is Daniel Lord, Junior, and 1;o puts on the 'Junior' so that he may not be mis taken for the Lord Almighty." It may be inferred that these two profes sionals resembled neither Damon and Pythias, nor Jonathan and David; in their affection for each other. /Par A vaunting man's mouth is a perpetual gas bill. . i.c. . ).::::: :... li,'. 4.: I „, ......:.::.::// ..' : ...... ~,:,: ..,::...,. 1 :.- : N.:. 141 : . !. "10' . -..111- ' ' .°l '' .. ''''' • The Perils of Celibacy. The London Review, commenting on Dr. Stark's statements - that "the death rate among ,bachelors is double what it is among married men between the ages of twenty-five and thirty; be tween thirty and thirty five it remains at nearly the same proportion ; while on the whole, taking married and sin gle in the lump, husbands live tWenty years longer than unmated gentlemen" says that another grace is bestowed on the sex. They aro more than our preservers. Hygiene shakes hands with Hymen. But what if Dr. Stark's figures bear a different interpretation? Suppose wo regard' the ,hccatomb of bachelors an offering upon the shrine of blighted affection ! Young men aro jilted, and dio of it. Their more for tunate friends bask in the heat of the domestic hearth, while poor "Tom's a cold," "Tom all ,alone," shivering in the dreary world without, until ho is carried off .under the direction of an economical necropolis company. Dr :• Stark puts matters. in , a way that there is no shirking. He does not say whom or what you are to marry, but widow or maid you must engage with, if your career is not to lbd cut down to half its legitimate extent. Tho reason of the wonderful difference is certainly not on the surface. Bach elors aro not invariably rakes; and a modern bachelor, well schooled in the modes of pleasure, knows how to enjoy life with as little detriment to his health as possible. It is said that a man with asthma survives that com plaint for an intolerable period, but we refrain from associating his powers of endurance with those of a father of a family. A bachelor should have few cares, even if he keeps late hours.— Then we have heard of the "old bach elors. Is the race threatened with ex tinction ? The more we look at Dr. Stark's sums tho more they puzzle us. His bachelors—for we aro tempted to believe that ho is in a measure the pro prietor of the lot ho makes an example of—must- bean"different set from those we are accustomed to meet. What kills them? And when wo have asked that question, we should like to know why they apparently prefer sudden death to lingering mat rimony. Dr. Stark, with a grim ex actness,' holds out this warning scroll of morality, which we have no doubt will be made a text-shoot by mothers with marriageable daughters. It comes opportunely at the commence ment of the season. Can the or cigars of Havana be the cause of : the mischief Would a latch-key unlock the mystery? Do bachelors pine at lonely moments in chambers and lodg legs, and then expire of broken hearts? Dr. Stark should have informed us of the number of young ladies who live and die unknown. Ho should have set one column off against the other.— We are curious on this point, or rather curious as to the manner in which Dr. ' Stark would make it, for our own reg istrar general has never produced the startling effects of the Scotch statisti cian, although ho has east up very similar accounts. In Scotland, Doctor Stark's native ground, there is a bold indecision on the subject of marriage, which periodi cally. affects the return of births. But Scotland is a very pious country, and the good people do not mind trifles as long as they observe the Sabbath, and' keep music out of the churches. We trust, however, that the fatal influence of celibacy, as shown by Dr. Stark, will have an effect upon those inciden tal moralities which do not include the crime of whistling on Sundays. If Dr. Stark is right, bachelors should literal ly marry in haste, in the tooth of the rest of the saw.' If Dr. Stark is wrong, they don't lose much after all in taking the course suggested by his calcula tions. How TO DO Goon.—Dr. Johnson wisely said, "Ho who waits to do a groat deal at once will never do any thing." Life is made up of little things. It is but once in an age that occasion is offered for doing a groat deed. True greatness consists in being groat in lit tle things. how are railroads built? By ono shovel of dirt after another; one shovel at a time. Thus, drops make the ocoan. Hence we should bo willing to, do a little good at a time, and never wait to do a groat deal of good at once. If we would do much good in the world, we must bo willing to do good in littlo things, little acts ono after another; speaking a word here, giving a tract there, and setting a good example all the time; we must do the first we can, and the next, and the next, and so keep on doing good. This is the way to accomplish any thing. Thus only shall we do all the good in our power. Eaaoas.—Tho little that I hwie soon of the world and known of the history of mankind, teaches no to look upon their errors in sorrow, not in anger. When I take the history of ono poor heart that has sinned and suffered, and representio myself the struggles and temptations it passed through; tho brief pulsation of joy; the tears of regret; the feebleness'of purpose; the scorn of the world that has little charity; the desolation of the soul's sanctuary and threatening voices within; health gone, happiness gone, T - would thin leave the soul of my fellow:man with him from whose hands it came. EcZ - A bashful young man escorted an equally •bashlitl young lady. As they approached the dwelling of the damsel she said, entreatingly; : "Zokiel, don't tell anybody you beau'd me home."

Being invited recently to deliver an agricultural address before a Harvest Home Association in Central N. Y. on the occasion of their annual festival, the "Fat Contributor" consented. We make the following eloquent extract from his address : Although fortune (or perhaps the want of it) cast my lot amid the struggling multitudes of a great city,•where you wouldn't see a farm in a walk of several squares, where there are no meadows with their waving potato tops, or wheat fields ripe for the woodman's axe, yet I have always felt a. deep interest in the 'farming classes, and I flatter my self that I know something of the no ble pursuit you follow. I will say here that it has been the ambition of my life to be an honest old farmer. To earn my bread by the sweat of a hired man's brow. How delightful life on a farm must be; I can imagine what vigor is imparted to the frame, and what strength to the muscles by recli ning in the shade and watching the mowers as they gayly swing their threshing machines, and then what appetite one must acquire for the noontide lunch,by observing the merry reapers at their work, digging their wheat and raking and binding their potatoes, and their—their fall ap ples. How often, in imagination, have I followed you, as you went forth of a summer morning, when the dew was on the grass seed, neatly attired in white linen suits and patent leather boots, with your corn shelters swung lightly over your shoulders to cut your winter's wood. I have seemed to hear your merry songs sweeping up from meadows, as you gathered your water melons and turnips into your—your corn-houses, while mingled with the busy hum of your sorghum evapora tore, came the musical bleating of your cattle, and the lowing of your sheep and poultry. Thou when winter comes, and the sun . prevents you from continuingyour haying, and the cold north winds shake off your ripening strawberries; I picture you sitting by your gas stoves, mending your fanning mills, in preparation .for your spring plowing, or amusing yourselves with Beadle's Dime Book of Agriculture Winter on a farm ; how delightful ! What a pleas ure it must bo to fodder the chickens in the dairy and to hear the =skint clucking of the pigs us they clamor for their oats and hay. Then when the winter evening comes, and the robin and the bobolink have ceased their song and gone to roost on the well sweep, I can imagine no ,greater de light than to gather around the blaz ing fireplace, regardless of the fascina tion of the storm without and amuse yourselves with apple pouring, knit ting, base ball, seven-up,and other ath letic games. 1 envy not, then, the pale dyspeptic who bonds from morning till nigh& over his sordid ledger in the crowded marts of trade, or the child of idleness and affluence, who grows premature old amid the dissipations of the city. They know nothing of the 'pleasures of a life like yours, which I believe I have in no way overdrawn; if they did they would transport their cities into country, or transform them into agricultural communities by act of Legislature. A Million and a Billion. Wo are perpetually hearing of mil lions, and of how many millions it will take to do this or that. We have a good idea what a million of dollars will do, but we have very much doubt whether ono person in a thousand has a very correct idea of the quantity or number contained in a million. For in stance, if you would ask a person how long it would occupy him to put down a million dots with a pen upon a shoot of paper, - ho will generally toll you soniotimo io far from the fact as to be laughable. Permit us therefore to say, for we have tried the experiment more than once, that it would occupy an ex pert ponman about fourteen days, sup- posing him to work bank hours (that is six,) incessantly, doing nothing but putting dots on the paper or dipping his pen in the ink, This will give our readers some idea of the quantity or number contained in a million. Let ono try it, by laying his watch on tho table, oloso to the paper, and work for ten or twenty minutes, then add and multiply. But what is a mil lion compared to a billion ? It is a more nothing. What then is a billion f A very short answer will suffice for a very short story. It is a billion times a million. But who could count it? No man ! A quick bank-teller can count ono hundred and 60 and 70 a minute; but lot us suppose he could go as far as 200. Then one hour would produce 12,000, a day 288,000, and a year or 301 days 105,120,000. Let-us suppose now, that Adam at the beginning of his existence had begun to count, bad continued to do so, and was counting still, he would not now, according to the usually supposed age of our globe, have counted near enough. For, to count a billion, ho would require 9,520 years, 34 days, 5 hours and 20 minutes. Now supposing wo were to allow poor Adam 12 hours daily fur rest, eating and sleeping, ho would need 19,024 years, 60 days, 10 hours and 40 min utes. We believe a common water pail would hold a billion grains of sand from the sea shore. This sand is the dehris of rocks and stones. How many millions of yea rs,tben , were these rocks and stones rolling in the ocean to pro- duce them ? What then, is the age of the globe we inhabit? It is as much beyond human comprehension as is the speed of comets through immeasurable space. NO, 11 Farm Life. THE Gl_lOl3M JOB PRINTING OFFICE.

One of the brisk and bustling waiters stepped up to a table where a sedate-looking individual bad just fin ished a lunch, and pertly inquired : "What have you had, sir ?" "Had ! I've had the stomach-ache like thunder, eating your pies." "I mean have you got a check, sir?" said the waiter, fidgeting. "No, nothing but currency," said the customer, opening a calf-skin wallet.. "I want to know what you have got to pay," said the attendant loudly. • "Got to pay a note for five hundred dollars, and not a dollar yet," replied the imperturbable one. • • • The despairing • waiter throw a "com ing, sir," at half a dozen impatient cus tomers, and making a- last effort,• said slowly, "H-o-w m-n-e•h a-r-e you going to pay ?" "Not a darned cent; taken the bap. eft of the bankrupt sot," said his.tor mentor, and buttoned -up his coat, he walked steadily out beforo the bola. , dercd garcon could recover his sonnet*. A MIRACLE OF HONESTY.-At a par-' ty one evening several contested. the honor of having done the most extra ordinary thing. A reverend gentle:- man was appointed judge of their re spective pretensions. - • One produced his tailor's bill with a receipt attached to it. A buzz went through the room that this could not be outdone, when a second proved he had just arrested his tailor for money lent him. "The palm is his," was the cry, when a third put in his claim.. It was he had returned two umbrellas.. The astonished arbiter said he would hear no more, and was about to award the prize, when he was stopped by the fourth, who said: "I have done still more than that." "Impossible !" cried the company, "Let us hoar." "I have been taking my paper fbr. twenty years, and have paid for it, ovary year iv advance." • Ho took the prise., CURIOSITY.—Aperson of an obser. ving turn of mind, if he has rode through a eountry town, has noticed,, how curious youngsters along the route, will fill the windows with anxious fa ces in order to get a glimpse at all pass, ers by.

Mau of the Musa. No; why? Jonathan. I saw there was one pane of glass that did't have a head in it. Mn.a You leave blasted quiok, or there will be a funeral. BARBER, PUZZLED.—Three brothers bearing a remarkable resemblance tct one another, were in the habit of sha ving at the same barber shop, on Main street. Not long ago one of the broth ers entered the shop in the morning, and was duly shaved by (H.) a German who had been at work in the shop only for a short time. About noon another brother came in and underwent a sire-. liar operation at the hands of the bar, bor. In the evening the third brother made his appearance, when the man dropped his razor in astonishment, and exclaimed : 'Noll, Mine Gott, dat man hash de fashtest beards I never saw.
