And many loving arts essayed
To bring "sweet mother" mt.(

From future oare or harm.

Of infant laughter wild ;
With yearning heart my arms streCohlorth

A DIOTXONARY OP THZ ENGLISH' LANOIIAON. By
Joseph E. Worcester, LL .D Pp LXVIII., and
1786, large Quarto. Boston ; Makin?", "Sloan
it Re i mer. 1860.
An English Dictionary is indispensable to the'
intellectual entertainment of every reader of the
language. Not only do beginners, and half
fledged Collegians, and tyros in the learned Pro
feseions, and novices in the Arts, need a Dictionary
of their own mother tongue, but. scholars , of the
highest attainments need it, if they would extend
their reading; and understand well and enjoy
what they read. "Every new 'science which is
studied, and every advancement in branches of
learning ldreally 'commenced', brings up new
terms; and 'brings old terins,torward with new
shades of meaning, and makes wresortto a- good
Lexicon' both a need and' a privilege.
The importance of Lexicography induces many
scholars to devote to it much 'time and energy;.
and it is a vrork mit , likely to` be 'completed, till
the last generation of they-human ;family shall
have been born and, reared. Every living lan
guage is perpetually varying. Words become
obsolete. New words are formed,• or introduoed.
Terms lose their old significations and acquire
new ones. New shades of meaning attach to
words. Orthography is perpetually changing.
Orthoepy varies. Nothing human possesses both
life and stability. We often hear the excise:la
tion, 0, that we had a standard. Give us a
standard to which all may conform. We have
'hardly got familiar witty one set of- Spellers,
Grammars, and Dictionaries, till out comes
another sot Give us something stable. Why,
friends,,the-demand is idle. Everything moves;
and we must neoeuserily , either Move or be Moved
We have , ourchoice; either tolet the new books,
and, -by due exertion, keep , up with' our genera
tion, advancing paei passu, secially, joyously,
and usefully ; or, otherwise, become laggards,
dragged. on by long and strong cords, lonely,.
galled, murmuring, and unhappy.
A. few months ago we presented'to our readers; -
a highly commendatory notice of a new, en
larged, altd improved edition of Webster's great
Quarto Dictionary. It is now our privilege to
Introduce to them its great rival by WORORSTIIP.
—a rival, not in the sense of . all effort to die
parage, but in honest endeavors to excel--great
in many senses of the word, and especially in
that of real excelltinhe.- And, for the comfort of
those who deprecate ChZUges, we may add; this
work- 'of Worcester, following so closely as it
doesittion the revision and enlargement of Web
ster,ty Goodrich, is likely - to-prodnees a' relaxa
tion in the writing of Dictionaries. The: talent
and toil devoted.to - ithese , ttwo-- great works, and
the success attained, we regard as being so near,
ly exhaustive" of the language, in its present
state, that new attempts are likely to be post.
potted for'at least a quarter of a generation:
The work before us is a Quarto, Of a very,
large page, divided into-threw columns.- The
paper is superior, and the typography excellent.
It contains one hundred and four thousand words,
embracing, Ao a very - large extent, the terms
peculiar to the iarions' branches of science and
art. Authorities are- given• for almost• all the
'Words, and especially of such as are technical,
obsolete, antiquated,- rare, provincial,' local,
colloquial, .of recent introduction, or of doubtful
propriety.
This Dictionary is divided, as-is common, into
three-parts.

In Oarsouriaanr, and Pitontfainarion, Dr.
Worcester has not attempted to be - an innovator
and reformer. Neither is he so conservative as
to fight against all changes. His aim has been
to present the English Language just as it is at
the. time in which he writes. He is sot a stickler
for the English of Britain, nor an enthusiast for
the English of. Americana. He woeld present the
one language, taking as his standard the present
and BUT use in all places where it is written
and spoken; With this feature of the work we are
exceedingly pleased. A Lexicographer should
not be an innovator ; and especially he should Pot
-set up the peculiarities of-any one 'district; or
`even country. as being the standard-of correct

In orthography,: Worcester also follows the

Be Kind to Your Sister.
DEAR CHILDREN :—What I am now
going to tell you is , true, and I hope you
will-read it to your parents In a pleasant,
beautiful home in Connecticut, there dwelt
a family surrounded with all the luxuries of
the - city, with good health, and, high educa
tional advantages. The parents were pro
fessors of religion, always to,k their chil
dren to the church on the Sabbath, and- in
the evening you could have seen- their rosy
little ones gathered around, reciting the As
sembly's Catechism to them. But all was
not right in that household. Oae .of the
daughters gained the aseendattny. over her
father, who would' not allow •her-•to be
crossed in any thing. The younger sister
possessed a better disposition, but the former
delighted to vex her in vaious ways, and
called' her a poor, weak.minded creature:
Sometimes she would' pinch her to
make her cry,. then deny it, and thereby
get her a whipping. I will not hurt your
feelings by relating any more such facts,
As you may suppose, it made her young life,
in many respectiWa'sad one
Dear.young friends3.do-not be. unkind/. to
yoUr younger . brothe,ra-and'sititers. Believe
me, . unkindness-•often causes• anguish of
spirit, which is never.forgotten.
There is another little girl, in. Mississippi,
who never gave a cross word to her younger
sister, but is always doing her kindness
Said alle, if Essy should die, I ,•could never
forgive` myself if I had spoken.ehareh word
to her. Ellen is always - gentle- to her
mother and'therest of the family. Every.
body loves-Ellen who , knows her. Try =to
be like Jesus,
" Whose scuirwas gentlees a lamb,
And as his stature grew,
He grew in favor both with man,
And God his Father too."

All Play and no Work
Bessie was a very little girl; and like
many another, she sometimes - had foolish
thdughts. Thivwas one of them : "lf I
only could have a whole day to do nothing
in—no work, and, -no lessons—only play,
plaY,'all day—l'should be perfeety happy!'
When she. toll this.mish, her mother said,
"To day thall'he yours. You may play as
=eh as you please; and I will not give
you any Work, , no•matterhow-much you may
want to do its"
Bessie laughed at theidea of wishing for
work, and ran out, to play. She was swing
ing on the gate when the children pawed' to
school, and they,all envied her for having
no 'lessons. When they were gone, she
went' to the cherry tree, and ate as much
fruit as she 'wanted,. and-picked lapful ler
pies;'."but when, she carried them in, her
mother said, " This is -work, Bessie I Don't
you: remember you cried yesterday because
I wishedlott tto pick cherries- for the pud.
ding? You may throw- these to the pigs;
I cannot take them." The baby began to
awake, and Bessie ran forward'ith rook the
cradle; but. her • mother-stopped ler again.
" No work to day, you know I" and the little
girliwent away, rather' oat , of thumor. She
got s here doll, andd - played with it a while,
out soon , was tired. She tried all her other
toys, but they' did not seem , . to, please her
anyr better: She came`' back, and watched
her mother,. who wask shelling peas; and
rocking the cradle, with her foot.
"May not I help you, mother?" she
asked
" No, Bessie; 'this isn't play!"
Bessie telt very, much like crying. She
-`went out into the garden again, and leaned
over the fence, watching the ducks- and
geese in' the pond: Soon she heard the
clatter• ofrplates , ; here mother was setting
the table for dinner. Bessie longed to help.
Then-her father crone back from' his work,
and they all sat down' to dinner. Bessie
was - quite -cheerful' diiring the meal'; but
when it was over and.her-father away, she
sat down on'thelow seat by the cradle, and
said; wearily, " Mother,- you do n't know
how, ere4.l.- am of doing-nothingl if you
would only let me wind your cotton, or put
your work-box in order, or even .sevratltrat
tiresome patch-work ) I would belts glad'!"
"'I cannot, little daughter, because I
said; I would - not. give you work to day.
But you may find some for yourself, if you
can.";,
So Beseie•hunted up a-pile of her fathees
old etookinge, and' began to mend them,
fot she contd. dam very neatly: Sere face
grew brighter; and presently she said,
" Mother, why people get tired of play D'
Because God•did not mean us to be idle.
His command is, Six days Shalt thou la
bor! He has given- all .of us work to do;
and has made us so, that unless we do just
the very work that he gave us, we cannot
be happy!'
" W-hat is your- work, -mother?" asked
Bessie.
" To serve God in my daily life as a wife,
mother, and Christian: -
Bessie. , did not quite understand , this;
but she said; Don't you ever get tired ?"
"Yes, often; but then I go-to my Heav
enly Father, .and tell him .so; and if he
thinks.' herb-more' than I can hear, he
either-takes it away, or gives me strength
to do It."'
" And may I do the eart*-mother , ?"
" You may, my dear. • If you will be

Flax
PROVIDENCE, It 1., Feb. 4, 1860.
On Thursday evening, last, at the State
House, Mr. Stephen> M.r Allen, of Boston,
addressed the , inembers of the-Rhode Island
Society for the Eneouragement-of Domestic
Industry, on the Flax, 'and its
manufacture-into- clothi and- other- fabrics
Fa eight' or ftine(years this gentleman ham
been experimenting: very extensively upon
flax.cotton; and his conclusions have now
been reduced to -practical application. • He
has a mill near Boston, where is manufac
tured fabricercomporiedin part of flax cotton,
which consist moistly of white cloth, calicoes,
arid jeans.' Mr. Allen" gave a 'synopsis of
the old method of preparing the flax—a
roethod-which- had-not been varied essenti
ally from .the •moist ,, aneielatltimes until the
present.
„It was Jorinerly the practice to
pull the- plant;-afterwards-rot`it by steep.
big in water and in other ways, and then
preserve the fibres long. The experiments
which-Mr. Allen and hierassociates have in
stituted, demonstrated that it is better to
pull when ripe and: break it when 'dry
without being rotted;:' Then cut the_ stran
and produce fibrils a couple of inches in
length-!—sprooestsrwhiph is cheaper-than the
old method, and,produces a better article..
From his conclusions •and practical appli
cations, he : has reasons to believe that an
article - rag to - ti - prodiiced upon our Northern
soil that 31411 ,inswerft-every purpose for
Which cotton is used, and will ultimately
prove economically superior. Zeas gri
ll
'oulturists , to try the cultivation of The
sale of the seed alone would pay the
labor, and , by using the • lint we sha ave
an article cheaper than cotton, and superior
for manufacturing purposes. If New Eng
land will: devote four million acres to its
growth, they could produce a crop equal to
the cotton crop of the South. These are
the main facts presented in the address of
Mr. Allen, which made a very favorable im
pression upon those who.had the privilege to
bear him. If the success of this idea, can
be obtained,- and flax cotton be made, as he
has clearly and forcibly demonstrated, to take
the place of cotton, then there will be intro-
duced a new and golden erain the system '
and condition of manufactures. If flax- ,
cotton can re any great degree supersede the
great Southern staple, and be, ruade , an soon
°mica] tottidle of cultivation and menufac
ture,,as this gentleman asserts, we shall as
suredly enter, upon a scene of histoty having
no wailer since the foundation of our
internal sources of wealth. Northern man

consumption upon their own' soiliand` , Vill

scale, it will -be-the -means of inaugurating
a revolution whose efforts will not reach na
tional intiltistri ilone, but will i 'extend film
iofluence to society and to politics. The

be brought into direct competition with this

„Reducing Bones to Powder.
Protetiii6F S. W: Johnson," of the Yale
Laboratory, has given the follow
ing -meiliod oeredtt' Wag bones to -powder,
first communicated to the public by. Mr.
Pusey, au:English.agrioultural chemist.
The prOaess depends , upon-the fact that
bones consist, to the amount of one third
their weight, of oartilagei or animal - matter,
which,-undel. 'the influence - of warmth and
moisture, readily decomposes, (ferments or
decays ) ) and loses its texture, ao that-the
bones fall to dust. • •
Pim the cloieness and solidity ,pf the
bony etruetarp,ldecaris - excited an&
tained with some, difficulty. A single bone,
or heap of bones, neverdecaye alone, but

er, bones in quantity be brought into close
contact withSouie Casily'fermentable moist.
substance, -but-little time elapses- -before a
rapid deoay.sets.in. ,
So too, iefresh crushed bones are mixed.
with sand soil; or any powdery matter that
fills up the spices between the fragments of
the bone, and makes the heap 'compact, and
then are moistened with- pure water, the
same result-takes' place - in warm weather,
thoughquore slowly: -
The practical process may be as follows
The bonesi if whole, should be broken up
as far as convenienthy a single eledge-bam
mer, and made into alternate layers with
sand, • loam, .saw dust; leached aehes, coal
ashes, or swamp , muck, using just enough of
any one of these materials-to fill compactly
the cavities among the •bones, but hardly
more. Begin with a thick layer of earth or
muck, and as the pile is raised, pour on stale
urine or dungleap liquor enough to
Moisten' the whole , mass thoroughly; and
finally, cover a foot thick with , soil,or muck.
,t In warm weather the decomposition goes
on at once, and. in from two to six or more
week, the bones will. have, entirely or. nearly
disappeared. ,
If the fermentation should spend itself
without reduninglhe bones sufficiently, the
heap , maynbe'overhauled and built up again,
, moistening withliquid manure and covering
as before.
-By,thrustink , a pole ,or bar into the heap,
the progress of decomposition may be traced,
from :the, heat and odor evolved. •
Should the heap become heated•to the
surface, so that'theanimonia escapes, as may
be judged - by the smell, it mayr be coverefk
still more thickly with earth or muck.
The larger the heap the finer' the bonefq
and thamore stale urine or dung-liquor they
have been made to absorb, the more rapid
and complete will be the disintegration.
In these heaps, horse dung or other ma

This volume cannot fail to stimulate religious thought
and discussion. It presents novel, original and startling
views. It places within the Christian fold many Who claim
no place there; cuts off from it many who consider them•
selves entitled to all Its privileges, and applies tests of
spiritual character whit& are vitally distinct from those
woich are current in the popular religion of the day. It
is one of the books to be read, marked and inwardly
digested.

The PACIFIC/ EXPOSITOR Is to be'devoted to the expo.
Bitten of God's Word, and the preaching of the Gospel,
according to the Standards of our Church. We wish to do
by the Press, for our fellow.citisens, just • what we do for'
Calvary congregation every Sabbath ; that is, to expound,
explain and preach. to them the Word of the Living God.
We would, if possible, furnish sermons to be read on the
Lord's day, in the lonely place of our valleys and mountains,
where there is no pastor or evangelist to open his mouth
and show the way of salvation; and into the crowded vil
lage of miners, farmers, and travelers; where as yet there
is no house of worship, we desire to send the Exposrroa, to
open to them the Scriptures, and preach unto them Jesus.
It is well known that a large number of the half million of
lords that are on this coast. do not attend any church or
meeting-home; many thousands of them never hear a
Barmen preached from year to year. We would furnish
them with such reading as would remind them of their
early training—the home of their youth—anti cause them
to seek and serve the God of their fathers, with a perfect
heart and a willing mind. We hope to make the EXPOS.
troa a missionary, that may preach even where the col
portent and the evangelist do not.goi
Not one dollar of the enbseriptaens will be appro
priated to the editor's private use. All that is sub
scribed beyond the actual coet, will be spent in ex
tending the circulation of the work among our miners,
cattledrivers, farmers, sailors and travelers. The Xi.
rosatol. will be issued every month, at three dollars per
annum, in advance. It will make an octavo volume of over
six hundred pages. It is very neatly printed, and on good
paper. The postage prepaid to any part of the United
'States is ONE CENT for each number. Gold dollars, or three
`dollar pieces,
or drafts on the San Francisco Express Com
panies, can be sent at our risk, by mail.
To my friends and the Christians , . of the" blemeed old
Stites," I. would say, that though California is making
them rich, we are poor, and in building up Christian institu
tions, we need net only your prayers and sympathy, but we
need your contributions: - As a miselonery agency';.: it is
difficult to See how you can doerninch bYthrell
any other way, as you can do by subscribing for this work.-
By means of ihe Poet Office, you MEC send - It rt6' progiah to
thousands, that have been taught to read, but do not attend
church; and Indeed have none to go to.
/Or Ministers, elders; church 0111C1ITN and ottani; who are
friendly to this work, ate invited to act as agents in pro.
