Building on the Sand
BY ELIZA COOK.
"Tis well to woo, 'tis good to wed,
For so the world has done -
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have a care, 'c young and fair
Be sure ye pledge with truth
Be certain that 3'our love will wear
Beyond the days of youth.
For, if we give not heart to heart,
As well as hand to hand,
You 11 find you've played the unwise part,
And "built upon the sand."
;Tis well to save, 'tis well to have
A goodly store of gold,
And hold enough of the shinin? stuff-
For charity is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
We cannot live with yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alone,
Will often have to stand
Beside his coffer chest, and own
'Tis "buit upon the sand."
:Tis good to speak in kindly guise,
And soothe where'er we can:.
Fairspeech should bind thehum-tn mind
nd love link man to man.
But stay not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs, as well.
The mercy that is warm and true.
Must lend a helping hand;
For those who talk, yet fail to do,
But "build upon the sand."

How to Pop Coras.
A correspondent of the Rural Nciv-
1 Yorker gives the following directions for
popping corn :
" Take two quarts of salt, put it in an
iron kettle and heat it; when it is hot
enough (the degree of heat maybe found
by trial) to pop the corn, put it in and
stir the whole till the corn begins to pop,

Many persons have asked, 'Why can't
our people make Iron successfully at all
times under a thirty per cent, duty?'
We answer, they can make some Iron un
der a thirty per cent, duty, a twenty per
cent, or even none at all. Iron Industry
has now obtained such developement in
this country that no possible perverseness
of National policy can ever-more utterly
destroy it. There are peculiar qualities
of Iron which could be made here and
sold at a profit although common Iron
were lower than it has ever yet been
And there are certain localities at which
choice Iron is now made and sold at
prices which defy Foreign competition,
Tariff or no Tariff.
But what the Country needs is not
that Peter Cooper or Henry M. Watts
shall bo enabled to make a few hundreds
or thousands of tons of Iron at a profit,
but that tie Iron jwoducl of the country
shall be brought into some fair relation to
our Home denamcd for Iron. We. have
more and better Ores than any other Na
tion. We have more ingenious Artificers
and Inventors. We have Coal, Wood,
Lime, Food and other elements of pro
duction as abudant and cheap as any oth
er Iron-making people. If we could only
adjust our public policy so as steadily to
produce at home the Iron we need (which
will very soon reach Two Millions of tuns
. per annum, worth at least Sixty Millions
! of Dollars,) we could teach the world how
to make good and cheap Iron within a

But one great impediment to the gener

Mutton Mill.
The following is a description given
some time since, of a mill established on
a queer mechanical principal, in one of
the villages down East :
A gentleman traveling in that section
of the country, overtook a farmer drag
ging a lean, wretched looking horned
sheep along the road.
" Where are you going with that mis
erable animal ?" asked the traveler.
" I am taking him to the mutton mill,
to have him ground over," said the far
mer. " The mutton mill 1 I never heard of
such a thing, I will go with you and wit
ness the process."
They arrived at the mill; the sheep was
thrown alive into the hopper, and almost
immediately disappeared. They descen
ded to a lower apartment, and, in a few
moments, there was ejected from a spout
in the ceiling four quarters of excellent
mutton, two sides of morocco leather, a
wool hat of the first quality, a sheep's
head handsomely dressed, and twoelegant
lr carved powder horns.
Were it not for the fact that the above
is " in the papers'," we should feel dis
posed to dispute it.
The total loss of property by fires in
California during the past three years, is
estimated at sixty-six millions of dollars
more than has been destroyed by fire
in all the rest of the U. S. during the last
ten years.
Coal Ashest
Mr. Stour, formerly Fditor of the 'Far
mer's Gazette,' writes the following to tho
'New England Farmer.' He is a judi
cious man, and his statements are relia
ble, although they are opposed to the
general belief on this subject :
Mr. Editor : In your weekly paper
of 12th June, I notice an inquiry from a
correspondent, 'whether coal ashes can
' be used with any benefit in agriculture V
j And as I have not seen a reply to this
' question in any subsequent number of the
i Farmer, I will venture to give my own
experience m the matter, small though it
may be.
About the year 1840, while publishing
the 'Farmer's Gazette' at New Haven, I
found a heap of anthracite ashes in my
garden in the spring the accumulated
siftings from two stoves during the pre
vious winter. Having seen the sugges
tion in some agricultural paper, that these
ashes were of some value as a fertilizing
agent, it occurred to me that I might try
the experiment without cost. According
ly, when about to commence the opera
tion of gardening, I spread the ashes over
the surface of the garden, as evenly as
possible. There were some two or three
cart loads of them, aud they had lain in
a snug heap near the centre of a small
garden of not more than four or five rods
square. Across the spot where the heap
had lain, I had a bed of common blood
beets and a few rows of string beans.
The general effect of the ashes on all parts
of the garden was evidently good; but on
the particular spot which had been occu
pied by the ash heap, the result was real
ly surprising. The growth of beets and
beans, in that part of the beds, was nearly
double that of the same vegetables beyond
the limits of the heap. So marked was
the difference? that it was prominently
perceptible to the eye as far as the garden
could be seen. The soil at New Haven,
as you are probably aware, is a light
sand.
1 have no doubt that coal ashes are
worth something as a fertilizer ; and that
on farms within two or three miles of any
of our New England cities, they will pay
for carting. Generally, I suppose, house
holders in cities will be glad to give them
away. I think of trying their virtues on
a portion of my mowing, by spreading
them either this fall or early next springs
and if they have any material effect, you
may possibly hear from me again.

BSfAt a recent missionary meeting in
Nottingham, a Mr. Allen, of Sheffield,
told a story of a woman in the latter town,
who lately astonished a neighbor with
the intelligence that the devil was dead.
The story did not meet with acceptanco
and the skeptical woman, therefore, ac
companied her friend to the shop in which
sho had seen the fact advertised. They
at length reached a dyer's shop in the
window of which was a placard with this
inscription 'Satin died here.'
