NArnas Arm Aar.—Upon examining the edge of a very 'keen razor with a microscope it will appear as broad as the back on a thick knife ; rough, uneven, full of notches and furrows. An exceedingly small needle resembles a rough iron bar. But the sting of a bee, soon through .the.same inatrument, exhibits everywhere a polish most amazingly - beautiful, without the least flaw, blemish, or inequality, and it ends `with a point too fine to be discerned. A small piece of exceedingly fine lawn appears through • . •po, like a hurdle or lattice, and the rea • s themselves seem coarser than yarn with which ropes are made for• anchors. But a silkworm's web appears perfectly smooth and shining, and everywhere equal. The small est dot that can be made with a pen appears, when viewed by the microscope, an irregular spot, ragged, jagged and uneven. But the lit tle specks on the wings or bodies of insects arc found to be most accurately circular. So great is the contrast betwcca the works of God and man. GUANO FOIL PLASS LANDS.-WO have re cently conversed With two gentlemen—both .practical men and of critical observationw4o informed us that they have now fields in grass and yielding good crops, laid down some five, six and seven years ago, manuring them solely With guano, and receiving little or no manuring since. If such were to be the general result, we might bring up our farms to a wonderful degree of fertility, because a third or half of Ile tillage land laid to grass with guano, and producing a fair crop for several years in suc cession, would enable us to appropriate all the manure of the farm to the hoed croit! This would allow of very high manuring, Aitztt the land in such a condition as to produce 'heavy grass crops without the further applica tion of guano. But we need further experi ments, and test tic guano upon its own merits. By putting the land into grass without a par ticle of any other manure.—N. E. Farmer. THE COLD Tsai.—The present winter has exceeded in severity, both in duration of the cold term and the extent of territory affected. any previous winter for many years. The whole northern hemisphere appears to be af fected. From Italy and other portions of South ern Europe, the complaint of unusual cold is beard ; and iu the Southern, United States, we have the same cry. At the last accounts very severe cold weather was being experienced in Texas. The GaNeston Nr tea of the 12th tilt., says that a very severe cold Norther had con tinued there uninterruptedly for twenty days. Telegraphic advices to the Nth .state that (he weather throughout Texas continued very cold. At Clarksville, Red River county, snow had re mained on the ground for several weeks. The 13razos river-was so frozen that teams crossed on the ice. An old Texan says it was the worst weather for cattle ever known in the State. Ice four inches thick was being put up at Auatin. Transposition of Figures—The Figure Nine. —The numerical nine has a certain peculiar property, a knowledge of which will be of im portance to accountants and cash-keepers. It is this : When an error hns arisen from any transposition of figures, the difference between such transposed number of figures is uniformly a multiple of the numeral nino. For instance suppose an error occurs in bringing out a trial balance or cash settlement of the amount in question, or that the sum short or:over can be divided by nine without any remainder, there is a strong probability that.ihe mistake has been made by transposing figures ; at any rate, if such mistake takes place by reason of transpo sition, the sum in question will divide by nine without a remainder. To illustrate this fur ther : If 97 has been put down 79. the error will be 18, or twl'e 9 exactly : if 322 be set down 223, the error will be 99, or eleven times 9, and AO on between any transposed numbers. This class of errors is very conimon.—Doston Cou rier. . _ Tits MsTumnsT Buoy CoNcsaN.— The North western Tlirixtian Advocate says of the Metho dist Book Concern, that "it commenced in 1789, in Philadelphia, under the supervision of Rev. Jour: Ihess;:s. the first book steward, agtutt, and editor, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, with a borrowed capital of zit;oo : and though losing in 1832, by tire, nearly 5300,000, this institution now possesses a capital of over three quarters of a million ; and a gramd tutal of its sales for the past fiscal year - , retched the uutn of 5631,169. It has now been in existence sixty-sis years. The tract and periodical de partments are but branches of the great trunk concern. ['The rapid changes of weather in our va riable climate is peculiarly trying to the consti tution of the weak and delicate. Rheumatism, 1 Pain and Aching of the Bones, Neuralgia, liack ing•Cough, &c., not only affects them, but sei zes hold on many who arc now most vigorous and healthy. To all such, we cannot in too strong terms, recommend the use of\Carter's Spanish Mixture. ! It cures disease by Pnrifying the blood, and' expelling from the system all the impurities I which tend to generate or retain disease ; it is perfectly harmless, and has gained for itself a reputation as an alterative and strengthening tonic, which is not approached by any medi• eine now before the public. As a remedy for Scrofula, and the very worst forms of depraved blood; no medical discovery yet made equals it. , The proprietors of this valuable remedy are in daily receipt of letters from all• parts of the country detailing • cures by Carter's Spanish Mixture, after all the efforts of Physicians and the remedies of the profession had sig nally.falled. We take great pleasure in calling the• attention of the afflicted to its, merits as a medicinal agent of singular and extraordinary efficacy. 117• The Char/es/onions are putting up their own ico from tho ponds surrounding Charles ton.

YOUR attention is respectfully solicited to the above method of Rooting, now much used iu l'hiladelphia and vicinity, and which hatchet:it exten sively in use in many of the cities of the Went, during inure than eleven years past, during which time it has been tested under every variety of circumstances, and we confidently offer it to the public as a mode of Booting unobjectionable iu every importantpartieular, while it combines, iu it greater degree than any other roof in use, the valuable requisites of cheapness, du rability, and security against both tiro nod water.— This is rapidly superseding the .use or all other kinds of roofs, wherever it has been introduced, giving gen eral satisfaction, and is highly recommended by all who have tested its utility. These roofs require an inclination of not more than one inch to the foot, which is of gnat tnicantaus in race ji re, and for drying purposes. They are offered at a price consid erably less than any other roof iu use, while the mount of material saved, which would otherwise be used in extending up the walls and framing for a steep root; often makes a still farther important re duction in the cost of building. liutters may be formed of the.same material as the roof, ut much less expense than any other. In case of defect or injury, from any cause, there is no roof so easily repaired. 'kite materials being mostly non-conductors of heat, eu rout' is SO cool iu summer, or so warm in winter. Those wishing to use our root; should give the rafters a pitch of about one inch to the foot. Fur further in formation apply to Joseph Clewell, at Allentown, our ugZ,ait foe Lehigh and Carbon Counties, who is pre ; pared to execute all orders at short notice. IL M.
