The previous works of Dr. Hooker have made
him widely ,and favorably known, and the present
volume is one that will add to his already well
fiputation as a writer on subjects
Connected 'mote or less with natural history.
His object has been to avoid being either too pop
uhti. or - tdo scientific; that is, to avoid, en the
one hand, a mode of treatment so simple as not
te',liiiaken thought and lead to investigation, and
on the other, a method that would involve too
many details of science. lie has aimed at cull
ing from the immense amount of matter which
Natural History, presents, that which , every well
Wormed person milt to know. The style is.good:
the.subjects treated of are full of interest; and
the Glossary and Index are exceedingly valuable.
•The book is worthy of a place in every school
and in every family library.

Every =honest and intelligent attempt toward
the improvement of ; Church Psalmody is worthy
"of'attel and respect. From the prominence
given to the work of Professor Jones, in eccle
sdatnical,disoussions, by some of those branches
of,the.Pyesbyterian Church that still adhere to
the-version of Rouse, we were favorably im
pressed,with regard to it.. But we regret to say
that an examination of the book itself has dis
appointed the „expectations entertained. As a
version, it is far from being complete; in the use
of the English language the author is not happy ;
and many of the metres are very difficult of exe
cution. At the same time it is but just to say
that the industry displayed by the author is
highly commendable, and his labors may lead to
profitable results in this direction.

Seventy. The translation was so called
because it was made by seventy, .or, more
Atrialy, by seventy-two - men six having
been chosen from each of the twelve tribes

Anecdote, of a. Child.
A gentleman was some time since called
upon to visit a dying female. He quickly
obeyed the call; and entering the humble
cottage where she dwelt, he heard 'in an
adjoining room au infant voice. He listen
ed, and found that it was , a child of the
poor, dying woman engaged in prayer. "0
Lord, bless my poor mother," cried the
little boy, " and prepare her to die. 0
God, I thank thee that I have been sent to a
Sunday School, and there have been taught
to read my Bible, and there learned that
when my father and mother forsake me,
thou wilt take me up. This comforts ine,
now my poor mother is going to leave me.
_May it comfort her, and way she go to
heaven! and may I go-there too ! o.JeSus,
pity a poor child, and pity my poor,.dear
mother, and help her to say, 'Thy will be
done!'" He ceased, and the visitor opened
the door and approached the bedside of the
poor woman.
" Your child has been praying with you,"
said he ; "I, have listened to his prayer."
" Yes," said she, making an effort to
rise, "he is a dear child; thank GOd' he
has-been sent to a. Sunday School. -I cannot
read myself, but he can, and he has read
the Bible to me ; and I hope I have reason
to bless God for it. Yes, I have learned
from him that I am a sinner; I have learn
ed from him of Jesus Ohrist ; and I do—
yes, I do, as a poor sinner, put my trust in
him. I hope he will forgive me; I hope
he has forgive me. I am going to die;
but lam not afraid. 0 how thankful I
am that my dear child was sent to a Sunday'
School."

The mother's hope was full of immor
ality.
The Sailor Boy who would not Part with his
In. the year 1822 a.. vessel was,,bound
from - Philadelphia to LondOn, at which
place she arrived, after encountering .-many
dangers on her voyage. She was there
condemned .as not being sea-worthy, and
the individuals to whom she was consigned
in -London, discharged the crew. One of
them, a lad about fifteen years of age, was
recommended to make the best of his way
to Liverpool, where. he might probably be
able to - get einployed in another ship
bound for America. He accordingly left
London, and commenced his . journey- to
LiverpOol on foot'; and being almost desti
tute of 'money, he
. soon began to feel the
hardships of hunger. He was fdrced to
part with. such articles as he could spare,
in order to procure food; and when passing
through a small town in Buckinghamshire,.
was compelled to ask
,charity from a per
son standing at a door. The individual
said
" What is that-you have tied up in your
handkerchief?"
" That," replied the lad, "is Sy Bi
ble."
" Well, can't you sell that ? It will
help you on your journey."
" No," said he, ," I will never part with
my Bible, if I sell everything else; for it
was given to me by a lady, in Boston, and
she advised me never to part with it; and
I love to read it. So I won't part with
that." ,
The boy's wants were supplie4l, , and he
pursued his journey.
This is a fresh proof that the distribu
tion of Bibles among sailors is attended
with good effects. Here we see a. poor boy,
a stranger in a strange land, valuing the
bread which cometh down from heaven
above that which perisheth. Alas how
many would part with their Bibles only to
procore trifling amusement and gratifica
tion
The True Wisdom.
A man, may knoNs 7. all about, the rocks,
and his heart remain as hard as they are;
a man may know all about the winds, and
be the sport of passions as fierce as they; a
man know.all about the stars, and his fate
be the meteor's, that, after a brief and bril
liant career, is quenched in eternal night;
a man may know all about the sea,,and his
soul resemble its troubled waters, which
cannot rest; a man may know how, to rule
the spirits of the elements, yet knoiv not
how to rule his own; a man ma know
how to turn aside the flashing thunderbolt,
but not the wrath of God from .his, own
guilty head; he may know all that • La
Place knew—all that Shakespeare. knew—
all that Watt knew—all that the greatest
geniuses have known 1 • he may know all
mysteries and all knowledge, but if he does
not know his Bible, what shall it avail ?
I take my stand by the bed of •a dying
philosopher as well as of a dying miser,
and ask of. the world's wisdom as of the
world's wealth, " What shall it profit a man
if he gain the whole w rld and lose his
own soul?"
I despise not the lights of science; but
they burn in a dying chamber as dim as its
candles. They.ca.unot penetrate the mists
of death, nor light the foot- of the weary
traveller on his way in that valley through
whiCh we have all to pass. Commend me,
therefore, to the light which illumines the
last hour of life—commend me to the light
that can irradiate the face of death—corn
mend,me to the light that, when
. all others
are penched, shall guide my foot to the
portals of that blessed world where there is
no need of the sun, and no need of;the
moon, and no need of any created lights,
for God. and the - Lamb . are the light
thereof. Brethren,, leate others to climb
the steeps of•fame—brother, sister, put
your feet upon.the ladder that scales the
sky ; nor mind though your brows , are nev

through faith in Jesus, the crown of eter

•-• The Sword of the Spirit.
The world has many a battle-field,
- . Where soldiers fight for fame,
Where mighty leaders dare not yield,
Lest they might lose a name.
And every soldier wears a sword,
And keeps it burnished bright,
And learns, at his commander's.word,
To draw his sword aright.
By daily practice he secures
Skill in the warrior's art;,
Ambition, too, his soul allures
To act the conqueror's part.
But earth has yet another fteld,
By Faith's few warriors trod ;
Another sword they learn to wield,
It is the Word of God.-
This is the Christian's trusty sword,
By his great Captain given;
By it A l e triumphs with his Lord;
And thus he enters heaven. .
And shall his sword not burnished be ?
Shall rust corrode the blade?
For want of practice shall he flee
When Satan's hosts invade ?
NO, dearest Captain, fire his heart
With holy zeal and love; •
Then shall he ever act his part=
With heavenly vigor move.

A Hint to Farmers.
Mr. John Johnston, the celebrated Ger
man farmer. of Western N.em,r York, whose
opinions and assertions in reference to farm
ing are probably entitle&to more confidence
than those of.anTother man in the United
States, thus writes in a recent letter ad
dressed to the Secretary of the New York
State Agri6ultm•al Society: The observa
tions he makes are undoubtedly the key to
successful farming, and if half the husband
inen-in this country were to get his letter
by rote and make it the man of their coun
sel as regards their future operations, they
would not only become affluent themselves,
but contribute largely Id the prosperity of
the neighborhood in which they "live, by
increasing its yearly products. Ere says
"I notice that, those farmers who have
most difficulty to make ends meet, always
plow most and keep most stock. ^ Now these
men take the true plan, to keep themselves
always poor, because their crops and stack
are always poor and bring ;little. It is a
good profit to raise three hundred bushels
of wheat from ten acres; but when it takes
thirty acres to raise that amount, it is rais
ed at a loss so it is with cattle and sheep;
you will see the thinking farmer making
four year old steers worth from $6O to $BO
each, whilst his neighbors at the same are
not worth over 625 to $4O. Now this ought
not to be, in a country where all men are
born' free and equal. If the farm is rich,
then labor intelligently employed_ ill soon
make the owner in easy circumstances; if
the .land is exhausted, (and a great many
farms are,) then he should plow no more
than he can thoroughly manure. Seed with
clover and grass, and let> it rest for/ even
two years, and that field will not only pay
well for tillage, but it :will - furnish manure
(if rightly managed) to make another field
of the same size rich also; it is bad policy,
when a field is once highly manured, to
continue cropping it with grain 'until the
manure is used up. The latter end of that
land will be worse than the first; but, let
that land lay in clever, even one year, but
two is better, after itis manured, and then
it will stand perhaps six good crops before
it requires manuring.; if a clay subsoil; I
know.it will."
Cutting Wind,
The appearance -or-condition, indicating
the proper time of cutting wheat, depends
on the variety. Thus, when. the grain of
red wheat can be squeezed between the
thumb and finger; without any moisture be
ing forced from it, cutting may always be
safely commenced; fbr it is 'never better
than when harvested in this state, and if
cut late, the wheat is seldom so good in
quality, besides serious losses are sometimes
sustained, in consequence of high winds,'
when it is allowed to arrive at a riper, state.
The white varieties should stand somewhat
longer than the: red before they: are cut.
With respect to the color of the straw as
a sign of maturity, experience_ has shown
that if in a healthy state, the ear generally
ripens before the straw; the, yellowness of
the chaff and upper parts of the straw, in
dicates that the crop is fit to cut; and the
uniform yellow color of the straw shows
that the crop has arrived at maturity, and,
if suffered, to - stand in the field, the kernels
are liable to be shaken out by the wind.
Unloading Hay.
vlr. L. F. Scott, of Connecticut commu
nicates in a late number of the Counky
Gentleman, his mode of unloading, hay
from the cart all at once, which we print
now for the information .of our readers, in
order that it may reach them in time for
the approaching hay season. lie, says':
" My plan is, two or more endless ropes
spread on the cart: rigging, add load on
them, and when in the barn bring the
ropes tomether on the top, on a strong
double hook made fast to a stout rope; this
rope may run through a tackle, with a herse
out side, similar to the plauof unloading with
a horse-fork ; while a man with a guy-rope
over a pulley, back - side of the MOW, can
direct it where, he ohoaes. letdown
and unhook the, ropes.on one. side ; and pull
them out with the Bailie poWer that hoisted
it,
"Another way -to heist, withontLibe
horse, is to have a.wheel similar to: what
merchants use, for hoisting,hogsheids of
molasses and oiher merehandise, hung in
the ridge of the barn,, and ,operatea„in.the
same way, with guy-rope as in the-60'er
plan.- Where a barn is built, with the
floor on one *side, with short middle
beams, the wheel can be hung' partly over
the mow, so that it will need less, power on
the guy-rope." • '
Cutting Grasvand , Curing Ilay.
Timothy should never,be, cut• until after
the seed'is formed, and then between the
milk a,nd dough,., state. ,Qrchard,,grms,
however, is so much more fender when , '-eut
in the flower, and is,therefore so much pre
ferred by cattle when so cut, that it should
not be permitted to ripen into seed .before
cutting ; it, does so, however, to a great ex
tent after" cutting, and contains much more
nutriment than timothy.
Many farmers do, not consider ,the.sdoreli
ing effects of our June and July sun, v and
the_consequence is, that hay - is too much
dried in this country. Unless the grasa k be
very thick and heavy, it, will generally%

Light !from the Sun and Stars

The

brightest of the fixed stars, is only one
twenty-thousand-millionth of.what -we re
ceive from , the sun. "- When the sun shines,
the stars' are rendered invisible, their
light being lost . in hiS,Superior brightnesi.
The light of some of the stars is so faint,
that iris: entirely absorbed by the atmos
phere before it reaches the eye of an_
observer 'at the level of,the sea; this is the
reason whi.inflre stars are visible from. the
top of a:mountain, than from its base. • The
moon and planets are non4utuinous, receiv
in.. from. the sun the light with 'which
thZy *shine ;°. this light, reflected to the
earth, 1s much inferior in brightness to
that received directly from the sun—the
latter body, 'for example, giving us eight
hundred thousand times as much light, as
the moon. Light,travels with. the enor
mous velocity of one hundred and ninety
two thousand Miles in a second ; it trav
erses the Apace between the sun . and the
earth in about eight minutes. The veloci
ty of light was discovered accidentally -by
M. Roemer, - an eminent' Danish astrono
mer, when engaged in a series of observa
tions on one :of the moons of the planet
Jupiter. This moon, in,., a certain, part of
its path, becomes invisible to an observer
on. the earth, in consequence of its getting
behind planet. Xnowing that the revo
lutions of the moon must be performed in
the same time, M. Rnemer supposed that
the intervals between these invisible peri
ods would of course.be nniform. To his
surprise; he found that; they differed a
little every time, increasing for six month's
—at the expiration of which, the eclipse
was sixteen minutes dater`than at first—
,
and then decreasing at the same rate for a
similar-period, till at the end of a year he
found the interval- precisely the same as gat
first. , The conclusion was inevitable.
The discrepancy was caused by the difference
in theearth's distance. If the first
.ob
servation was made .when the earth was at
that point of her orbit which was nearest
to Jupiter, six mouths afterwards she
would he at the most distant point : and
the light from Jupiter's moon, to .reach
the observer's eye,-,would have. to travel
the .whole distance , a.cross the Orbit--about
one hundred and ninety million miles—
farther than before. Here: .was the key to
a grand discovery. - if light was sixteen
minutes, or nine hundred and sixty 'sec
onds in travelling one hundred and ninety
million miles, it was easy to find•how far;it
travelled in one second.

A story -is going the rounds of the .pa
pers,- of the reply .made by Queen Eliza
beth to- 'the Parliamentiry committee, who
waited upon., her to, ascertain her intentions
relative to a proposed matrimonial alliance
with one of the piivers of Europe. Her
answer is said to have:been
"Were I to telyoulhat I do not mean to
marry, Imight say less than I intend; and
were I to tell you that I do ,mean to marry,
I might say more than it is proper for you
to know.; therefore I give you an answer
answerless."
This was by no' Means the'only instance
of " the, Virgin Queen's" . shrewdness in
giving an answer which should be capable
of, a variety .of interpretations. We recol
lect reading in some-historian of her times,
that before here accession to the throne,
during the reign of her half-sister " the
bloody Queen Mary," Elizabeth's life was
often, in .danger from the -machinations of
the Romish . priesta; who sought to obtain
from her an avowal* of her sentiments 'which
should' cchunlit her either for or against
Rome; Int they'were invariably fOiled. On
one occasion they -demanded whether she
believed in the doctrine of transubstantia
tiorr. `Her was:

lie took the bread and brake it •
And what the blessed Word did make it,
That I lielieve•and take it."
:Such evasion might -have been partly
justifia'ble under the circumstances in whieh
EliFabetX.was placed, but, as a rulc,,mhn
can have. yery little respect for those •who
"palter with words in .a double sense," and
have not the,manly frankness to avow their
deliberately formed opinions. Such persons
may by their inanaminentwin place, power,
or wealt4,4 but; they can, never secure, that

.The Great Indian. Peninsular Railway,
when completed, Will be twelve hundred
and sixty-six Miles in length. The Object
of this undertaking is to assist in estab
lishing a permanent and speedy means of
communication for political and commercial
purposes between the, capitals of the three
Presidencies, anti to connect the great cot
ton-growing districts of Central India with
the seaport - of Bombay. It is expected that
this line will be completed in the year 1863.
The Madras railway, when completed,
will be eight hundred and fifty miles in'
length. It will unite the Madras and.
Bombay. Presidencies. It is 'expected to
effect great political services, and toopen
out large districts of country td commerce.
A large'part of 'thislihe of railway is ex
pected to be opened during the present

Prosperity of Ireland.
Letters from Ireland speak of the Em
erald:Tele advancing 'in Moral and raiite - -
rial prosperity, notwithstanding the large
emigration going on to the Western hemis
phere. They convey' the impression that
the land, under the present system of ten
antry, is being relieved,of a redundant pop
ulatioa. Landlords prefe,r, according to
these-representations, to devote their estates
to , grazing purposes, rather than divide
their-into small -patches among those Who
; have veither the skill nor capital-for-profit
ableqillage. The removal of a. Portion of
the inhabitants, therefore, is but a process
of adjustment to the. changed condition of
things. Evidence of prosperty is further
apparent the -construction of railways,
to every part of the country, the in
crease of coasting steamers, and trans-At:
lantic commerce; in the construction of
improved dwellings and'stores in the me.:
tropolia and provincial towns, Education
and criminal reform are likewise progres:
sing„, and- the various religious denomina
tions exhibit
. an activity which promises
well for the moral advancement of the peo
ple.—.N: Y. Journal of Commerce.
An Item for Housekeepers.
The liquid glue made as a speciality, and
extensively-advertised as a secret prepara
tion; is very simply made, and 'costs very
little. Eight ounces of glue dissolved in
half pint of water, in a wide-mouthed
bottle, costs but a few cents. Having dis
solved it by immersing.the bottle in a ves
sel of water until the desired result takes
place,. pour into the mixture 'two-and-a-half
ounces of nitric acid, stirring until all is
incorporated. Glue should be used that
posts forty cents a. pound. The cost; of, the
acid is merely nominal. For a few cents,
therefore, any housekeeper may prepare
as much of the article as would ,cost,a dol
lar and a half or two dollars when ptirchased
in little bottles. The, ",Celebrated Pre
pared Glue," 'advertised in the papers is
nothing more than this. It is,-however, a
valuable composition, as it never, ferments,
and will even mend porcelain permanently,
providing it does not comein contact with
water.
An Apt lllumtration.
Notwithstanding the prohibition of the
Koran against paintings and images, the
Sultan, Mahomed the Second, had a fancy
for the arts, and ordered Gentil Bellini, a
Venetian artist, to paint a picture of the
beheading of .Tohn the Baptist. When the
work was 'finished the Sultan found hilt
with the representation of the wounded part;
and, to prove that his criticism was correct,
he drew his scimetar and struck off the
head. of one of his- slaves. Bellini, -on
leaving his presence, thinking he had
caught an '"ugly Customer," 'Set sail for
Venice the same evening.
Wells.
It is well known, remarks a London con
-te,omporary, " that carbOnic acid often seen
'inulates in large quantitiei at, the bottom
of wells, and that its presence may be
ascertained by letting down a lighted can
dle, which will go out as soon as tte fiaine
comes into contact with the .gas. Many
men have lost their lives, from descending
into wells in this state. H. , Sylvestre has
discovered= an. easy.-way of absorbing-this
fatal gas. He pours lime-water (water , in
which, lime has• been slaked;) gradually
into the well, allowing it to. trickle down
the sides; and then throws down some five
or six pounds of quicklime in lumps. By
the next day the carbonic acid gas is all ab
sorbed, and the well is safe." ,

Durin g the last fourteen years, some four hundred patents
have been granted on inventions-designed to lighten the
drudgery °flintily sewing, and at the same time to produce a
machine'thitt could be profitably used for manufacturing
purposes; but; -strange- to say, out of this, large -"number of
Sewing, Machines. only some half dozen have been_ proven to
lie of practical value; and of this small number, not, one has
in it combined the advantages of a flintily and manufacturing
anaeltine. There- are large, heavy, noisy, cumbrous, and
'complicated machines, designed for heavy work„ that answer
the purpose very well; while there are others of light
mechaniiim and delicate adjustments, which perform on light
work.-.to advantage; and while the former are exclu
sively confined to heavy work, the latter are of little value,
except On' light fabrics. Therefore I take great pleasure in
