"And be ye kind one to another, tender-hearted,
forgiving one another , even as Goiefor Christ's sake
bath forgiven you."—Bible.
Earth, though a lovely ',place,
Teems with dark care ;
Clasping each other comes
Death and Despair ;
Sorrows on ev'ry side
Frowning we find ;
Sad hearts need sympathy—
Let us be kind.
Love, like the sun, can gild
All things below ;
E'en tinge with golden light
Trouble end woe,
Few in this world of change
Ever find much ;
Some souls ne'er feel its warmth—
God pity such !
Hopeless and heart-broken,
Living 'mid gloom,
Many are toiling on
Down to the tomb ;
Others are wandering _ '
Morally blind ;
Would we do good on earth ?
Let mi be kind !

Grief round them wind ;
Oh! when we can, to all

THE_OCEAN BOTTOM.
Mr. Green, the famous diver, tells singu
lar stories of his, adventure, when tmaking
search in the deep waters of the ocean. He
gives some new sketches of what he saw at
the "Silver Banks," near Ilayti
The banks of coral on which my divings
were made. are about forty miles in length,
and from ten to twenty in breadth. On
this bank of coral is presented to the diver
one of the most beautiful and sublime scenes
the eye ever beheld. The water vans from
ten to one hundred feet in detth, , Vd so
clear that the diver can Bee , from two to
three hundred feet when submerged, with
but little obstruction to the sight.
The bottom of the ocean, in many places,
is smooth as a marble floor, in others it is
studded with coral eolums, from ten to one
hundred feet in height, and from one to
eighty feet in diameter. The tops of
,those
more lofty, support , a myriad of pyramidal
pendants, each forming a myriad wore,• giv
ing reality to the imaginary abode of some
water-nymph. In other places the pendants
form arch after arch, and, as the diver stands
on the bottom of the ocean and gazes through
in the deep winding avenues, he finds that
they fill him with as sacred au awe as if he
wore in some old cathedral which had long
been buried beneath old ocean's wave—
Here and there the coral extends to the sur
face of the water, 28 if the luttier columns
were towers belonging to those stately tem
ples that are now in ruins.
There were countless varieties of ciiminu
tire trees, shrubs and plants in every crev
ice of the corals where water had deposited
the earth. They were all of a faint hoe,
owing to the pale light they received al
though of every shade, and entirely differ
ent from plants that I am familiar with
that vegetate upon dry land. One in par
tioulai attracted my attention; it resembled
a sea.fan of immense size, of variegated col
ors, and the most brilliant hue. The fish
whiCh inhabited these "Silver Bunke" I
found as different in kind as the scenery was
varied. They were of all forms, colors and
sizes—from the symmetrical goby to the
globe like sunfish, from the dullest hue to
the changeable dolphin , from the spots of
the leopard to the hues of the sunbeam ;
freee.4.lass—us- 1 mailessisrairrnewstrthe—Toradious
shark Some had heads like squirrels, oth
ers like cats and dogs, some of swell size re•
sembled the bull-terrier. Some darted
through the water like meteors, while oth
ers could•searcely be seen to move.
To enumerate and explain all,the various
kinds of fish I beheld while diving on these
banks, would, were I enough of a naturalist
so to do, require more tharrary limits allow,
for I am convinced that most of the kinds
of fish which inhabit the tropical seas can
be found there. The sun fi.h, star fish,
white shark and blue or shovel nose shark
were often seen.
There wore also fish which resembled
plants, and remained as fixed in their pod.:
Lion as a shrub; the only power they 'pos
sessed was !,o open and shut when iu dan
ger. :one cf them resembled the rose when
in full bloom, and were of all hues. There
were the ribbon fish, from four to fire inch
es to three feet iu length, their eyes aro v, , -
ry large,
s and protrude like those or a fr.l;4.
ALI 3. Xiacl.elpea3csLealt Family Neiacrisrsa,roor.
Another fish is spotted like a leopard,
from three to ten feet in length. They
build their houses like beavers, in which
they spawn, and the male or female watch
es the egg until it hatches. I saw many
specimens of the green turtle, some five feet
long, which I should think would weigh
from 400 to 500 pounds.
Advice to Dyspeptics.
You have asked me to prescribe for you.
You expect medicine, perhaps you hope for
whiskey, just now the rage for chronic, mal
adies, but I shall give you nothing to swal
low, you have swallowed too much already.
Of all the maladies, dyspepsia is the most
distressing; to get rid of its horrors you
would part with your right arm, .1 believe;
but would you part with a portion of your
table luxuries ? I fear not; but presuming
you are in earnest, I will prescribe for you.
__ 1. Rise early, dress warm and go- out—if
strong, walk; if weak, saunter. Drink cold
water three times—of all cold baths this is
the best for dispepsia; after Laif an hour or
more come in for breakfast.
2. For breakfast eat a piece of good steak
half as larga as your hand, a slice of coarse
bread and a baked apple; eat very slowly;
talk very pleasantly with your neighbors;
read cheerful commute of journals; avoid
hot biscuit 'and strong coffee; drink nothing.
3. Digest for an hour, and then to your
work; 1. trust in the open air. Work hard
till noon, and then rest, body and mind, till
dinner; sleep little ; drink water.
4 For dinner--two or three o'clock—ear
a slice of beef or mutton or fish as large as
your band, a potato, two or three teaspoon
lulls of other vegetables, a slice
_of coarse
bread; give more than half an hour to this
meal ; use no drink.
5. After dinner play anaconda. for an hour;
now for the social, for pleasant games—a
good time.
• : :er- a litt
for supper, wil
7. In a warm room, bathe your skin with
cold water hastily, and go to bed in a well
ventilated room before nine o'clock.
Follow this prescription for three months
and your stomach will so tar recover that you
can indulge for some time in all sorts of ir
regular and gluttonous eating, or, if yon
have resolved, in the fear of heaven, to pre
sent your bodies living sacrifices, holy and
acceptable unto God and will continue to
eat and Work like a Christian, your distreis
ing malady will soon be I orgotten.—Dio
Lewis, M. 0.
Im • ox tattoe of Agriculture
What muat be the feelings_ of happiness
and contentment of the man who, by skill
fully turning to proper account his intimate
knowledge of the peculiarities of his land,
has succeeded, without increased applica
tion of labor or capital, in gaining from it a
permanent inereasa_of - produce? For such
a reEult is not only a personal advantage to
himself, but a most important benefit con
ferred upon ail mankind.
How paltry and insignificant do all our
diseoltreries and inventions appear, compared
to what is in the power of the agriculturist
to achieve.
AU our advances in arts and science aro
of no avail in increasing the conditions of
human existence ; and though a small fra::.
tion of society may, by their means, be gain
ers in material and intellectual enjoyment,
the load of misery weighing upon the groat
mass of the people remains the same. A
hungry man cares not for preaching, and a
child that is to learn anything at school must
not be sent there with an empty stomach.
Every step in advance,
- however, made by
agriculture, serves to alleviate the sufferings
and troubles of mankind, and to make the
human mind susceptible and capable of ap•
preciating the good and the beautiful that
art and science present to us. Improvements
in agriculture constitute the only solid foun
dation for further progresA in all other bran
ches,of knowledge.
Grandure of the Bible.
If you have ever -^ 't, you must have
beau struck with th thtiughts, the
few suggestive ideas, which survive the pe

Pew of them can stand three readings; and
of the memorabilia which you had marked
in your first loading on reverting to them
you find that many of those were not so stri
king, so weighty or original as you thought.
13 . ut the Word of God is solid—it would
stand a thousand readings, and the man who
has gone over it the most frequeutly anti
carefully is the surest of findiug new • won
dere there.—Rev. hazes Ilummilion.
1 have for many years made it a practice
to read through the Bible once a yeur. Jly
custom is to read tour or five chapters every
morning immediately after rising from my
bed. It employs about an h0u.y..4 . 4,91„t1w„,1

of beginning the day. In what light soever
we regard the Bible, whether with reference
to revela'ion, to history, or to morality, it is
an invaluable. and irmahaustable mine of
knowledge and virtue.—J. Q. Adms.
A man in a West Virginia county was
recently cleated a school trustee who could
Peither read nor write. It was incumbent on
him to take a census of all the children in the

THE Two MERCIIANTS.—When trade
grew slack and notes fell due, the merchant's
face grew long and blue ; his dreams were
troubled through the night with sheriff's
baliffs all in eight. At last his wife unto
him said : Rise up at once, get out of bed,
and get your paper, ink and pen, and say
these words unto all men :
"My goods I wish to sell to you, and to
your wives and daughters, too ; my prices
they shall be so low, that each phall buy be
fore they go."
He did as his good wife advised, and in
the paper advertised. Crowds came and
bought all he had• his notes were . paid, his
dreams made glad, and he will tell you too
this day, how well did'printer's ink repay.
He told us this, with a knowing wink, Low
lie was saved by printer's ink.
The other in a place as tight, contented
was the press to slight, and did not let the
people know of what ho had or where to go.
His drafts fell duo and were not paid; a
levy on his goods was made, the stow wa s
closed until the sale, and for some time he
was in jail. .A bankrupt now without a cent,
at leisure he can. deep repent that he
was foolish and unwise, and did not freely
advertise.
GOOD HAMS.—After hams have been
smoked, take them down, and thoroughly
rub the flesh part with molasses, then iw
mediatelf apply ground or powdered pepper,
by sprinkling on as rnuoh as will stick to the
molasses, when they must be hung up again
to dry. I/atus treated in this manner, will
keep perfectly sweet for two or three years.
Les this be dime before the fly deposits its
eggP, for after that is done, nothing will stop
their ravages, The above has been prae,

soaking is necessary. One pint of molasses
and one and a halt' or two pounds of black
pepper are sufficient for an ordinary, faintly.

he had just stepped into the bar-room for
his customary glass, when he was asked for
a yarn. At first he declined, saying that he
could not think of one; but the offer of a

'What's that ?' said one of the loafers;
'three hundred miles in four days! That's
too tuuch•-of a good thing, Jake. Why, that

'Jake paused and said : 'But you ace we

'But,' interrupted another loafer, 'did you
have no trouble with the turkeys ?'
'No,' said Jake, 'only they , would go to
roost every evening a little berme dark 1'
'That's rather mixed, Jake.'
Jake, nothing daunted, continued : 'You
didn't hear me out; I did _t tell where they
went to roost.'
'Where did they roost, then?' inquired
the loafer. •
'Why, on the cattle's backs, of course,'
answered Jako, without even a smile.
