The Burial of Moms.
"And he buried him in a valley la the laud
of Moab, over against Beth-Peor, but no maa
knoweth of his sepulchre sato this day."—
Dout'my XXXIV, G.
By Nebo's lonely mountain,
On this side Jordon's wave,
In a vale, in the land of Moab,
There lies a lonely gray..
And no man dug that sepulchre,
And no man taw tt e'er ;
For the angels of God upturned the sod,
And laid the dead man there.
That was the grandest funeral
That ever passed on earth,
But no man heard the trampling,
Or saw the train go forth,
Noiselessly as the daylight
Comes when the night is done,
And the crimson streak on ocean's cheek,
Grows into tie great sun;
Noiselessly as the spring-time
tier crown of yerdun weaves,
4nd o'er the trees, on all the kills,
Open their thousand leaves;
So, without sound of music,
Or voice of them that wept, •
Silently down from the noenteln's crown,
The great procession swept.
Perchance the bald old eagle,
On grey Beth-Peor's height,
Out ot his rocky eyrie, •
Looked on the wondrous sight;
Perchance the lion stalking,
Still shuns that hallowed spot,
For beast and bird have seen and heard
That which man knoweth not.
Bat when the warrior (hells,
Ills comrades in the war,
With arms reversed and muffled dram,
Follow the funeral car.
They show the banners takes,
They tell of his battles woe,
And after bins lead his masterless steed,
While peals the minute gun.
Amid the noblest of the lead,
Nee lay theme, to rest,
And give the bard as boaor'd plate '
With costly marble drest,
In the great snigger traaseept,
Where lights like glories fell,
And the rweet choir slap aad the organ rings
Along the esublasosed wall.
This was the bravest warrior
That ever buckled sword; '
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed a weed;
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden pea
On the deathless page, truths half so sage,
As be wrote doers for mar
And bad he not high bows?
The hillside foe kis pall,
To lie in state, while angels wait,
With stars for tap-rs tall I
And the dark rock-pines,like tossing plumes,
Over his bier to wave;
And God's own hand In that lonely lead
To lay him in the graise—
Ia that deep grave without a name,
Whence his uneoffined cly
Shall break again—most wondrous thought!
Before the Judgment Day !
And stand, with glory wrapped around,
On the hills he never trod,
And speak of the strife that won our life
With the Incarnate son of God.
Ohl lonely tomb in
O dark Betb-Peoes bill,
Speak to these curious hearts of oars, _
And teach them to be still I
God path his mysteries of grace,
Ways that we cannot tell,
Ile hides them deep, like the secrdt sleep
Of him he loved so well.'

Humming Birds' Tongues.—The tongue
of a humming bird is very carious. It
has two tubes alongside of each other,
like the tubes of a doable•barrelled gun.
At the tip of the tongue the two tubes
are a little separated, and their ends
are eiu►ped like spoons. The honey is
spooned up, as we may say, and then it
is drawn into the mouth through the
-long tubes of the tongue. But the bird
uses its tongue another way. It catches
insects with it, for it lives on these as
well as honey. It catches them in this
way : the two spoons grasp the insect
like a pair of tongs, and the tongue
bending, puts it into the bird's mouth.
The tongue, then, of the humming bird,
is not merely one instrument, but it
contains several instruments, together
—two pumps, two spoons, and a pair
of tongs.

Yet New England has had more bene

This is a volume of six hundred pages,
containing the whole Bible in the Latin
language. It belongs to the Rev. Dr.
Duffield, of this city. The book is made
entirely of vellum, r.nd the printing is
all done by hand with a pen and ink.—
Every letter is perfect in its shape, and
cannot be distinguished, by any imper
fection in form, from the printed letters
of the present day. The shape of the
letters is of course different from those
now in use, but in no other respect can
they be distinguished from printed
matter. The letter is of about the same
size as that in which this article is
printed, which will give an idea of the
difficulty of forming so perfect a work..
The immense amount of labor may be
two conceived from the fact there that
are column on each page,each of which
lacks only about six letters of being r,s
wide as the columns of this paper.—
They will average sixty lines to the col
umn. The columns numbering 12u0,
we have about 72,000 lines in the whole
book. Nothing short of a life-time
could accomplish such a work.
The date of this book is A. 1) 920.
It was consequently made 560 years
before printing was invented, and 928
years old. There is probably nothing
on this continent, in the shape of a book,
equal to it in ago. The vellum upon
which it is printed, is of the finest kind,
and I. male of the skins of young lamb.
and kids, dressed and rubbed with
pumice stone until it is very thin. It.
is somewhat thicker than common pa
per, beings medium between that and
the drawing paper now in sae. The
fine veins in the skin are distinctly vi
sible in many places. A pencil mark
was drawn by the operator to guide
the construction of each line. Many
pages have these lines visible on tho.r
whole surface, no effort having boon
made to rub them out.. Two lines run
ning up and down divide the columns
with mathematical accuracy. At tho
beginning of each chapter, highly col
ored ornamental letters are placed.—
These afro the only marks of the divi
sion of chapters. There are no subdi
visions into verses, the chapter running
through in one paragraptt to the end,
and no proecriptivo headings.
This invaluable relic was presented
to Dr. Duffield by Lewis Can, Jr., our
Minister Resident to Rome. lie pro
cured tt of a Greek monk who brought
it from the Greek convent of fit. Catha
rine, at the foot of Mt. Mr, Calm
befriended this monk, who was in tum
ble, and he, in return, parented him
with the volume we have described.—
Aooording to his story, it is the work
of one of We ancient monk scribes in
the convent above ;wined. When it
became known that Mr. Cass was part
ing with it, and that it, was going out
of the country, the round sum of 1)30W
was offered him far it by the monks dY
the city of Room. This was of course
refused, for the pleasure of placing so
inestimable a relic in the hands of ono
who can appreciate its value MO well as
oar learned divine, Dr. Duffield. At
the time of the late fire in tho Doctor's
bowie. this book was thrown into the
street among others, and came very
near being lost. It was plated up on
the sidewalk by one who relognized
it. as one of Dr. Duffield's most valuable
relics, and preserved it.
Some years ago, a gentleman visiting
a firmer fn Tolland, Connecticut., took
from his pocket a small potato, which
somehow had got there at home. it
was thrown out with a smile, and the
farmer taking it in his hand to look at,
it,aenrions little boy of twelve, standing
at his elbow, asked him what it was.—
"Oh," said he, "nothing hut a potato,
my boy; take it and plant it., and you
shall have all you can raise from it, till
you are of age." The Pit(l took it., and
the farmer thought no more about it. at
the tune. The .bey, however, not de
spising small potatoes, carefully divided
it into as many pieces as he could find
eyes and put them into the ground.—
The product was carefully put aside in
the fall, and planted in the spring, and
so on till the fourth year, when, the
yield being good, the actual product
was four hundred bushels 1 The farmer
seeing the prospect that the potato
field would, by another year, cover hie
whole farm, asked to be released from
his promise.
Many really buppose that sets are in
jurious to fruit trees. This is not so.—
Those acqunintedi with their habits
know that they visit fruit: trees infested
with plant lice, both roots and branches.
They are attended by ants, which seem
to use them as their milk kine. They
are sought by the ant because of a sweet
fluid furnished by these lice which sup
plies the ant with nutrition. This ac
counts for their being about fruit trees.
Take warning, then, when you see the
ants busily ascending and descending in
regular succession, young fruit trees,
or others, and immediately apply ashes
or lime to them when the dew is on • al
so applying one or both of t hem
about tho roots of the trees infested by
them.

Joe Marsh.
Joe Marsh is the justly celebrated
proprietor of a hotel in the pleasant vil-
Uge of Bennington in the State of Ver
mont. But. while Joe provides a good
table and acts the host to Uttivorsal
satisfaetion, he like moist others, has
his peculiaritier—which peculiarities,
by the by, famish frequent amusement
for bar-room visitors—Owlet not, al

notorious indolence and literary taste,
the former in the natural way, and the
latter in reading a history o 1 Napoleon.
Joe road a, page or twO; when be
yielded tp the desire to sleep. One of
those roguish boys, (of which Benning
ton has not a few,) who *as making
Joe one of their regular calls, conceived
the idea of turning back the leaves to

np in the progress of tune, and renews
his reading—reida as far as it continues
interesting, when be ag ain falls asleep
and the boys turn bac the leaves as
before. This is repeated four times,
when a bright idea effectually wakes
Joe up.
"Gosh, boys, that Napoleon's the
smartest fellow ever lived; crossed the
Alps four times in ono day, and dragged
a heavy cannon after 'int."
To his bar lie adds a store of candies
in which the boys invest all the cents
and eggs, etc., they can hook for the
purpose of trade. Joe winks at their
wiekeknesa, and puts their pillexings
into his till. One evening a big boy
brought in a hen, and sold it to Rs) for
a pound of candy. Joe gave him the
candy, and told him to put the hen in
the barn, which he drd. Soon another
boy, encouraged by the success, brought
in a hen and got the same price, and
this set the thing going—the boys al
ways carrying the hen to the barn, at
Joe's direction. In the morning, ho

beauty, a joy forever; an object that
leads to virtue, yet. lures to vice`, is
worthy of the highest praise, yet de
serves the severest censure; a modest
roue, blushing and lovely; a blighting
Upaa, threatening and destructive; a
small keg, an expanded hogshead ; a
thought of heaven, with much to re
main on earth; heaven's greatest bless
ing, man's worst tormentor; in short,
a strange compound of good and tad.
Young womanhood—
A dream which is not a dream,
And not yet quite reality.

We are indebted to Mr. C—, re
mintly returned ftom a whaling voyage,
for the following touching narrative : -
On the home voyage .of one of our
Liverpool packets, she being crowded
with emigrants, that awful scourge,
the ship fever, broke oat. The carpen
ter of the vessel, one of nature's noble
men, and having on board his little son,
a lad of soine twelve summers, was one
of the first victims. his shipmates
sadly enclosed his holy in his hammock,
and having read over him the burial
service, and attached to his feet a grind
stone for the purpose of sinking him,
committed it to the embrace of old
ocean. -The poor boy, overcome with
grief at the loss of his natural protec
tor, sprang overboard, and before ho
could be rescued, was beyond the reach
of human aid.
On the day following the burial, a
largo shark was noticed in the wake of
the ship; and as it was almost calm,
the sailors asked permission to catch it.
which was readily granted by the cap
tain. Having procured a hook and at
tached a chain and line, and baited it
with pork, they cast it overboard, and
soon had the oxcitink pleasure of hook
ing the monster, and with the aid of the
windlass, hauled the writhing mass on
board. Ao it lay on the duck in its
death struggles, the sailors heard a
singular rumbling noise, that seemed
to proceed from within the writhing
captive. Taking a ship axe, they soon
cut their way into the now dead fish,
and to their great surprise, found that
it, had swallowed the carpenter, grind
stone, and boy, and that the former,
(who had only swooned) had rigged up
the grindstone, and with the assistance
of the boy to turn it, was just grinding
his jackknife to cut his way out,.
Cabbage and Dice --We have just

The ardent lorger, not happening to

pussied to understand the meaning
of ditto—tut was asintimxl to expose
his ignorpmx? by asking the girl. Ho

work In the cabbage-yard with his
tather r he spoke out—
" Daddy, what's the meaning of
ditto?"
"Why," said the old man;" this here
is one eabbagb.head, ain't it?"
" Yes, daddy.'•
" Well, that are's ditto."
" Rot that aro good for nothin' gal !"

when he was in the midst of his invo•

he repeated the first part of the prayer

till at, length the patience of tho old

There has undoubtedly boon a radical
change in the minds of the people of
Kansas as to the desirableness of enter
ing the Union immediately, since the
great commercial revulsion, checking
as it did speculation and retarding the
seeming prosperity and prospects of
the Territory. This led the people to
think whether increased taxation to
support a State Government, and the
stoppage of supplies from the General
Government with the cessation of their
Terntorial condition, would be as de
sirable as they had supposed whoa. pas
sion was inflamed by the bitter contest
of factions. Cooler momenta interven
ed between the adoption of thoLecoMp
ton Constitution and this vote, which
has decided its fate. The wise admin•
istration of Gov. Denver sup
the disorderera that before ruedtit
Territory. The great, question of
slavery was practically settled by the
vast preponderenee of Free State set
tlers, and the people began to discover
that interminable disorder and bloody
broils were not inseparably connected
with a Territorial Goverment. This
gave leisure fur reflection and has un•
questionably boon a powerful agent in
inducing the people to decide against a
State Government at this time. No
doubt other reasons cr.terod into the
decision. Some looked forward to a
now shuffle of the cards, wherein they,
might, hope to win position, and othirs s
from principle, were deadly hostile to
anything bearing even the name of
slavery ; hitt the impolicy of a State
Government at this time was evidevtly
a powerful element in the overwhelming
result.
We are not, sorry that .the - question
has at last been settled. The contro
versy, although its history is coveted
with many deplorable &atoms, has at
least produced ono good result: It has'
settled the manner of the application of
the principle of popular sovereigaty.so
that no difficulty can occur in the future.
