Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see
God.—Matt. v: 8.
Bard by a little woodland lake,
One Bummer noon T. knelt, to slake
My thirst at the laughing rills
That were dancing down the mossy hills.
The little hilts was a mirror -face,
In whioh the vestal clouds could trace
The•blush on their Snowi.brow,
When the sun• beam kissed them now.
Soft winds closed my eyes in sleep,
And laid me by that crystal deep ; '
When a vision, beautiful and rare,
Came through the bright wave sleeping there
Cloudbits there came, with golden rims,
And music, as if ancient hymns
Were sung along some distant shoris,'
By angels, that, were bending o'Cr.
This was the angel hymn,
Saag o'er the doedlere rim:
" Bleat are the pure in heart,
Tolima Shall thatimpart
Visions, of • his . own face,
In: hie -high and holy
I Woke from iny "Nang 'sleep; '
On the moss by the sylvan deep; -
And asked'that Thou wonld ,make
'4ty het Ake he little woodland lake.

Those who are , acquainted with the Life of
Captain Vicars will be able to form an idea, of the
character of this Memoir. When the British
army land6d on the soil of Turkey, thelact was
stated that a large number of the officers and the
men were devotedly :pious, and that their cora
paniond in arms'were constrained to - iewthat this
portion of the force was as remarkable . - for ,zeal'
and attention to PiefessiOnal duty, ea Air Sincere
and heartfelt religion. Of this noble band, Cap
tain Hammond was a burning and a shining light.
Be lauded in the Crimea „just in.tim&l.t& take a
prominent part in the fatal and ill , advised assault
on the Redan, where he, fell. Loiely as the
character of ;the lamented 'Vicartrivis, there is,
we think, quite as much in that of Efammond-to
command our sympathy and ensure our regards.
The-nurative,deepens in t its interest until, at the
close, f: it becomes overwhelmingly affecting.
What &valuable book this , is, and how suitable to
be presented to the officers of our army and navy.

BROTH= MCKINNEY :—I take this method of
'expressing "my gratitudeto ray liongiegation, for
their kindness recently shown myself and family
in a donation visit they made ,us. The whole ar
rangements were consummated without our knowl-,
adv. Thay brought with them all kinds of 'edibles
and spent the day and evening together, cultivating
their social natures and drawing the cords of
affections more closely together for each other as
well at betireen them and us. After they had
gone we found they had been' mindful' in bounti
fully replenishing our wardrohe, our Pantry, and
granary with such articles as.are kept in each' of
these departments. They also lefts small box con
taining a sprinkling , of the "material aid." The
whole amounted to ova sloo,ofjust such thingsas
are needled in every minister's family. I pray God
may reward them abundantly, not only to tem
poral affairs, but that they may become rich in
faith and every good work, for this as well as
many other acts of khadness,they hain shown us,
since Our settlement Among them. That they all
may be heirs to a crown of immortality, for this,

Maiden Ladies Not a Novelty.
And it is also true, and a fact worth re
membering, that the maiden lady is not an
invention of these times. There were un
married women long ago, before civilization
had made such fatal progress; while all the
heroines in all novels were still married at
eighteen—before the lite of Charlotte Bronte
had ever begun, or there was a woman in
existence qualified to write it—unmarried
ladies existed in this world, where nothing
.is ever new. Judging by ,literature, indeed,
Scotland herself, our respected mother,
seems always to have had a very fair aver
' age of unmarried daughters; and for the
. instruction of womankind in general, and
novel - writers in particular, we are'bound to
add that there were three such personages
1 as Miss Austen, Miss'Edgewoith, and Mies
Ferrier, novelists of the"old world, and 'rep
resentatives of the three respective . king
doms, whom none of their successors in the
1 craft have yet been able to displace from
the popular liking; so.that we might sup
pose it was rather late ,the day to begin
de nova to teach unmarried' women how, in
'citifilitostances it
is still possible for-them to keep themselves
respected and respectable. Many 'hundred,
nay, thousand years ago, there was even a
certain characteristic and remarkable person
called Miriam, who, wilful and womanlike,
and" unquestionably unmarried, was still so
far from being diarespeeted or unimportant,
that a whole nation railed for her, till she
was able ,to join" then- journey. Our age,
which likes so,much te declare itself the
origin :of 'changes, is not the inventor of
feminine celibacy. There were unmarried
women before our tiine, and there will be,
unmarried women after it. ay, no only;
lio7--but Paul the Apostle, eighteen hundred
years ago, ,, gave anything but an inferior
place to the` unwedded maidens of his time:,
" She that is unmarried careth for the
things. that belong to the Lord how she
may please, the Lord," says the, writer of
the Epistles and , many an iinmarried
Woman since his day has proved his state
ment, happily unwitting of all the philoso
phies which should prove to her how lonely.
and comfortless she ought to find herself,
and what a hard case hers was; and how,
'notwithstanding, it behooved her to' make
some certain amount of sad and patient ex
ertion to-vindicate her womanly credit with
the world.—Blackwood's Magazine.

NeW Remedy for Curenlio.
At a late exhibition of the Cincinnati
Hortieultural Society, some very fine plums
were exhibited by Mr. Walker, of Kentucky.
,And all ,wondered how he bad succeded so
,well in keeping off the depredations of the
curoulio. •
The plan adopted by Mr. Walker was as
follows:
` 'As soon as 'the fruit hega to be worked
upon by'the chrculio, he took a tin pan,
into wh ich soapsuds had heenylactd„to the
'depth 'of an inch or so, era after affixing
this pan in a level position in the tree, he
sat a small ( glass globe lamp in the middle of
the pan. Early in the evening this lairip
was-lighted and permitted to burn all night.
The consequer ce was, that every morning
a large number of-the curculio insects were
found dead. In darting " toward the light,
they would strike the glass globe, which
was two inches or so in diameter, and
b&precipitated into the liquid, from which
they were unable to extricate' themselves
again.,` It is Well known that thecumuli° .
does its mischief mostly in the night... We
'have heard of no 'remedy that strikes us 'so
faioiihlY 'as this.' And' iflt 'shall really '
prove' es efeative Mr. Walker represents
it, we may soon hope to have not , only ari
abundance of plums, but peaches also that
are smooth and fair. Even our thin-skinned
apples are greatly injured from "the attacks
of this, ugly insect.—,Ohio Valley Farmer.

Short Horn' , cattle.
This 'iniinal; its best estate in size
color, and-appearance, stands peerless among
; the bovine race. Its history, in England,
dates ,back, by well authenticated testimony,
to the fourteenth century.
In sizetthey are the largest cattle known.
Their shape, when in perfection Of growth
and, condition, is long, round,-and full.
Bliort Horns, have but two colors, red and
white. Occasionally, they are alm•sw, and,
in rare instances.-fully red. They are often
limes 'purely white. But in most,eades these
two colors, either in patches, one or the
Other More or less prevailing by themselires
in-agreeable.alternation, ,or mixed in deem
orlighter roans, predominate, giving a beau. ,
arta and picturesque effect to, the Erne con
:tour. and ,iniposing size of the animal. ,
"red roan" is the most fashionable and the
most desirable color of any, other, and; other
points of quality being equal, will command
the highest price.
SHORT HORNS BEEF
The two chief merits °Willed by the ad
vocates Of the Short 'Horns, are for the pro
`theetion of beef and milk. Their superiority
for beef is claimed in their rapid. growth;
early 'maturity, and aptitude for taking on
.flesh at any age. In• these qualities they
are not over-rated ; let the merits , of other
breeds be• what they may, even in these par-.
tioulars, the Short Horn, in his rapid prep
aration for the shambles, has no superior.
At three years and four in-age, with good
feed, the steer has arrived at his most profit
able condition for market; and although lie,
will grow and improve until his sixth, oreion
seventh year, taking on flesh to the extreme
of obesity, his -profitable age is attained' at
four years. Even at two years they make
surprising returns in beef, when the coin
mon stock of the country are made up of
nothing but bone and'musole, and cannot be
brottoht to a profitable carcase of fleali until
five or six years of age; and then at far less
weight than the Short. Horn, to say nothing
of the inferior qUality of meat, and the larg
er proportional quantity of offal in the native
beast.
SHORT HORNS AS 10,LRERS.
Asa milk and dairy producing cow, prop
erly bred, and educated for that object, .the
Short Horn has no superior. In England,
before they were in so great demand as, of
late years, for breeding and feeding purposes,
her feats at the pail were triumphantly set
forth by her breeders; but of lute years, so
roach mon? prattable buye,bto4.kst returpo
for breeding purposes alone, that the milking
quality has been Measurably neglected for
the greater benefit of obtaining a better calf
in the sacrafice of a large proportion of her
milk. That is to say : If the cow is milked
to her utmost capacity in quantity, and time
in yielding it, it must be to a considerable
extent at the expense of the growth and de
velopment of the foetus, or embryo calf with
in
her. She cannot do two things in the
best possible manner at one and the same
time—give a great yield of milk, and pro-
duce the best developed calf •together. One
or the other must suffer, as the best breed
ers consider,• and the calf being of. most con
sequence, the milk is.sacrificed. Theresre
good physiological reasons for this opinion
which, might be given;. but as we are not
discussing the science of breeding, it need
not .now be dwelt upon. But, that the , Short
Horn has the natural capacity, andl , when
reared and managed for that object, the
tendency to produce milk equal to any other
breed whatever, there can be no question.
Numerous , recorded instances in. this coun
try, as. in England,• attest that fact. The
several volumes of the American Herd Book.
may be referred.to, where Short Horn cows
have 'produced thirty to even, forty , quarts ,
per day, for weeks together, of the richest
milk, making a corresponding weight of
butter.
In longevity, continuous breeding to an
advanced age, and a final profitable termina
tion of her career. at - the shambles, the
Short'HO'ru Cow has no superior, and few
equals.

- BY REV; J.
The questions ofjuvenile crime and juve
.
nile reformation haVe occupied public atten.
tion- of late years to 'an extent altogether
unprecedented, and with large and camula•
tive results.. The, reformation of thsieritrli,
nal boy is acknowledged by all to 'be prac
ticable ; U
and at Redhill, at
_tley, at White
chapel, and at • Wands Worth, it has'-been
patent' to all who chose to look at it, as an
established fact. Bat there heti been .and
there , is, 'great skepticism as to the possibility
of the reformation of the adult criminal.
But why do we theorize or argue *hen
we have , facts to support our views?. "See
ing is , believing," and 'so we resolved, one
bright morning, at the-beginning of. Novem
ber, to visit Brixton Reformatory. and ex-
amine for ourselves. _Lighting &tin from
the omnibus at Kennington Gate, and taking
a short path across what was once the Com
mon,' but is now a " People's Park,"_ and
pleased to think of the tokens thus furnished
of the "progress" in ,sanatory and moral
reform, as compared with the olden time, we
walked on for two miles, till, at almost the
foot of Brixton Hill, we were arrested by an
advertisement on the pillars of a gate, which
told, of 'a meeting, lately held, in connexion,
with; , the sending away of emigrants from
GreVe Housaßeformatory.
Passiug onward to another .gate, and en
tering• it, we saw to our left a ,neat glass ; _
covered house filled with plants, and passing
up the avenue-we met two of the inmates
of the establishment, one of whom conveY
ing our-card to the governor, aeon brought
that, worthy person to us. Before his arrival
we lingered for a moment before a bow win
dow,, in, which ,and in the room which it
lighted was a pleasing and varied exhibition
of .the products of this beahive of industry.
There, prominent on a, table in the centre,
are a few pairs of worsted slippers; the
needle-work (as.we , afterwards learnt) by a
poor lad, the eon of a master carpenter, who,
has been bedridden.for years, and who mon
pies his time and whiles away the lonely
hours occupation like this. For cer
, by an
redness and elegance it, certainly rivals any
thing that could be done by the female hand.
Then ;gain, we see boots and shoes, newly
houndchooks, American-rocking chairs, and
common cane chairs, with specimens of cab- - ,
;net work scattered •around the apartment.
But thiais only.a passing glance.
The governor is now by our, side, and
following him up a stair and passing into his
office n ive sit down and ask him for some
information About the AstablishMent over,
which he'pretiides. Our imagination kindles
as we hear, first of all, that this building,
under whose ancient red.tiled roof We sit,
was'part'of the farm buildings once attached
to Raleigh Hiiuse, and once the property of
that gallant knight who threwhis cloak over
the miry path as a carpet for the• royal feet
of Elizabeth: •And-as, we glanced out on
the'two ancient-trees before the house, we
ithOught Sir Walter mightthave oftenmalked

soil-of--the large-garden--around and beyond,
he might have , planted his first seedlings of
the potate f ,whietche introduced to England
and to Burope r from that portion of Amerrea

"This Refuge was'formed in 1853, by a
few` earnest and thoughtffil men, Who; find-'
that the parent institution at 'slffelitinin
r'ster" was` not only till, buvsent away' from
its 'doors every week a large number Of ap
plicants, reiolved, in dependenee upon God's
'blessing, torestablisli , another, which should
hive .for: the "'basis of operations -those
principles. and plans whioh have been so
eminently successful there. A committee'
-wasdormed, funds to the 'amount of £l,OOO
were-speedily, contributed by some of the
leading merchants of. London, the premises
known as Grove House r Brixton Hill, were
secured.for a term of years, and the instita,
floe upened rather more than a twelvemonth
ago." Such was the, account of the origin
of this establishment given at its first annual
meeting in 1854.
From the very first, the resolved
to,lay down.their, plans with a view to the
'ultimate support of the institution by
,the
labor, of the
,inmates. In support of this
expectation, the' facilities offered hi the
large space of ground—amounting to three
acres—for cultivation (two acres more. being
occupied by the farm buildings, yards, &c.,)
were full of
,proinise, At ail events it was
resolved that work should be one means of
reformation, as contrasted with that idle n ess
which not only covers.a man with rags, but
so' often instigates him to crime. "Let him
that stole steal no more, but rather let him
labor," says,the-apostle. But how shall this
labor. be secured to him ? Here at, Brixton
that provision is made, and there is sound
sense, (an& that - is al ways true philosophy)
in their axiom. "Next to religious instrue
don, the committee believe that industrial
'occupation is the most valuable means of
moral reformation."
Two kinds of meetings are held here, and
always attract a goodly number of the. friends
of the institution as well as of the general
public. The first is the annual meeting,
which, as Mr. Metcalfe infortued us, " di
rectly and indirectly brings into the treasury
contributions to the extent of £100." Next,
there are "farewell meetings," like that
held the other day, which are devotional in
their character, and with the prayers for the
inmates about to depart to a distant land, are
intermingled addresses to them as well as
to the deeply interested audience present.
On the day of our visit we found that then
governor had just returned from Gravesend,
where he had left on board a good ship,
bound for Philadelphia, several of his pupils,
full of hope and courage, and like most of
them who bad gone previously, full of grat
itude for the loving kindness and care which
had been bestowed upon them.
But are such persons really grateful ?
May not their professions of thankfulness be
but mere "gammon ?" Well, let us see.
What is this boolkwhich the governor opens?
Nay, here is a second. Each is the reposi
tory of a series of letters received from cm'.
grants from the Brixton Refuge who have
gone to the United States.* Here is one
letter placed before us with a view of the
city of Cincinnati, "the Queen of the West,"
whither one of the young . men has' emi
grated.
,Here is another, with a view of
"Pittsburgh, Allegheny and Birmingham"
--the emporiums of Pennsylvanian industry,
with the hills behind stretching away in the
distance. Each youth gives a description of
the city where he' dwells—points out 'where
he lives—what he is doing—and writes with
an honest heartiness which disarms you of
all suspicion, of hypocrisy. These letters
are the utterances of hearts .fwd of kindly
remembrances of the past and of honorable
and ennobling hopes for the future. When,
too, a
,man has regained his position in
society, self respect, that powerful' motive to
well-doing, is brought into action again, and
he longs to share his gladness with one
such as the governor of a Reformatory gen-:
erally is—whom' he regards as a true friend.
Aff.etion for relatives is often manifested
in , the letters sent home to the governor. Of,
this,, the result is generally so far trouble
some, sa to entail much, toil in 'endeavoring '
to ascertain the whereabouts of home friends,
esricially in London. Tbus One young man,
who had gone to the United States, asks..
Mr. Metcalfe to call on his mother, and gives
her address. It turns out, however, that
ehe has left it. This is communicated to
the emigrant. . Ha still cherishes a longing
desire to know about a parent> whose heart
he.had , often grieved, and. whom, now, he
eOUld : nitike glad: He sends .fiome "" a lot of
addresses," and .one curious result is the
discovery that by the death of a grandfather,
he has become heir to £l5O. The high
moral influence of keeping up communica
tion and correspondence"with the former in
mates of the Reforinatery—uven though it
involves much trouble—must be obvious to
every thoughtful mind.
Butt now for atour of inspeotion. Leaving
the goiernor's office, we-pasd out to a 'fume
in, which is,' a library of two hundred and
ninety eight volumes, all well adapted
to the instruotion and reformation uf the
inmates, and duly prized and perused by
them. We then look into a store room, in
connexion with the different trades pursued
on the premise& These trades are now to
be examinedin order.
1. We enteritheibookbinders' room. Mu
sic books, and ordinary volumes of all sizes,
some in plain;, others, in elegant oindingii,
are submitted to us. nth "department,
four thousand thiek .pamphlents and, two
thousand Volumes were .bound in the space
of twelve months: r. -
The principle is:free trade here-as well as
in-theether, departments. There is..no at=
tempt made .in . the - prices etta . rged,Aeeitort
more.than an article is worth; becatise that,
ariiele.has zbeen made at ,the Reforn3atory . ;
nor is there any countenance given to the
false ' - political economy,'whioh would under
se4 the poor hardworking, honest tradesman
out of doors. , Oppertun4, for fair compe
tition is all that is asked, and orders. are re;
nerved .and executed for wholesale heuses,
onithe usual terms of the trade.
2. The carpenters' shop presents iiself:
On the' work done here our spice forbids us ,
to, dwell; .it is suffroient, to say, that it is ,
similar to 'what lye have seen and described
at Itedhill, Wandsworth, and other Reform
aforiei We took occasion: to, inquire:from
the 'intelligent master Carpenter, as to the
subordination of those placed under his care.
He gave a very favorable account, stating
that the , occasions were ,rare when discipline
of aUy, kind Was required .Ituleediliiith the
exception - of separationand Solitilde in a few
oases for a few days, where there has been.
obstinacy or idleness, the "law of loVe" is
found!,sufficient in the establishment. The
gates of the Reformatory grounds are always
open- by day, and the' " runaway" spirit
could at once have its practical gratifiCation.
Rut fer the most part, it is, felt that the,
oasis in the world's wide desert to -the out
cast thief; and on asking leave from the
governor to go out for alittle time, invaria
bly he returns tolt.as his borne and refuge;..
toiling , on, with the stir of hope in the
zon of the :future . and lighting him along
the pathway that-lead& to independence.
In the carpenters' shop we found' that
the youngest;person deployed was eighteen,
and the oldest forty years old. Oros,sing the
yard, we came to,
3. The shoemaking department. It is
here that those handsome boots and shoed,
, •
`fur ladies and' gentlemen, already examined"
in the
,committee:room, have been Manufac
tured, and. " orders" •from the trade are ex
tensively execute,d.. As to the aspect of the
young " Crispins," as well as of the inmates
generally,
,whether owing to the humanising,
effect of industry and religious instruction,
we .Somehow fairto recognize in their faces
the type of the hardened London "rough"
and criminal. The truth is, that many who
enter here, had but al short time pursued:a .
career in , crime, and are glad to find a chance
and opportunity of recovering their pOsitioU.
For example, we.see in one of the rooms
three applicants for admission, who haVe
been" awaiting the return' of the' governor
from Gravesend. One of them is in militia
uniferm.. He had come up to town and on
listed ;' fie lodged at a low house in the
neighborhood of Smithfield, where he met in
old "coiner," who tempted him to join him
in passing bad money; and scarcely had he
entered on that business when he was de
tected and sent to prison. '
4. The gardening department embraces.
,
the cultivation 'of the extensive grounds,'
which we see at a glance have been most
productive this year ; and. after having sent
many good fruits to market, have still fresh
loads in plenty =for that useful van which
the carpenters of Grove House have con
structed with their own hands. • And then
.to enter and pass through the various glass-.
-covered houses, ' is quite a treat. Here is
the "Propagating House," or, as it is hu-
morously described to us, " The Infant
School of the Nursery." • The ,little plants
in pots are not, like some little folks we
know in certain "nurseries," the least noisy;
and with a temperature hot at all times,
and :sometimes ,reaching one hundred and
twenty degrees,in the Summer time, it- is
no wonder if they thrive and grow as fast
in their way as do boys and girls who have
something more solid at the nursery table
than a hot forcing atmosphere to " force"
*Three hundred very satisfactory letters .have
been received from former inmates, who are en
gaged as soldiers, sailors, or in , service in the
country. One hundred other letters, conveying
gratifying information'of the success of the emi
grants, have also come to-hand. One of the lade
sent with his letter a donation of £2 to the Emi
gration
them on to maturity. And how beautiful
is - this collection in the next glasshouse of
the Chinese primula, or primrose? This
house has two compartments of plants, all
thriving, and ready for Covent Garden Mar
ket. It is eighty feet long and forty-eight
feet Wide. It is, both for its amplitude and
contents,
the chefcreeuvre of the establish
ment. We can only refer to the dormito
ries of Grove House, and also mention
that, besides attending church or chapel on
the morning of the Lord's day, there is an
evening expositiiin and devotional service
by the master, as -well an daily morning and
evening prayer, 'all of •which seem to be
much prized.
The food of the establishmentis cooked by
steam, by means of Soyer's patent cooking
stove. The health of the inmates has always
been good. At the time of our visit; there
were forty-eight inmates in the house, and
all contribute something to their own main :
tenance. The governor is sanguine eliofigh
to believe - that such- establishments can be`
made self-supporting all over the land. ,
Here there are difficulties arising from old
and, dilapidated premises requiring frequent
and expensive repairs. The expense et each
fora year is £25, and emigrants' outfit and
other expenses amount to ,Elo.' For the
Emigration Fund, as well as for the general
expenses of Grove House, generous help is
needed from . all who would wish to see the
beneficent design of the institution fully de
vsloped. Of the dangers incurred by'young
men leaving the establishment to settle in
London again, we heard some painful .illus
trations. At the same time there are cases,
not a few, where young men going out,
have'reeeived employment at home, and in
:spite of -many temptations, are doing well.
:Still we believe that the emigration, move
!, meat , should here, as at Redhill , be con
stantly kept in view, as the grand ultima
, tum, and the best assurance of permanent
reform.
The following are the statistics to this
time. In the , first four and a „half years
from the establishment, out of 718 applica
tions, there were admitted 273 'cases, which
have been thus. disposed of :
Emigrated •
Sent- to situations
Enlisted
Sent, to sea . .
Restored'to friends . .
Beat to other reformatories
Sent,to hospital . ;
Died . . .
..Left,of their own accord
Dism'iseed .
Now in the institution .
Thus showing that out of the entire num
ber— admitted, 273, r 's 9 leave' or 'lee die
niissed, while 214'are apparently benefited
by the institution; but, making allowance
for a.few who are-known to go back, there
are .left at least three fourths who may be
considered, humanly speaking,: to, be re
claimed from a life of crime.
