PRACTICAL TREATISE

"A PkACllCAL IKE A llSE
~ on the culture of silk, adapted
to the Climate and Soil of the
United States, By F. G. CoMsTocK.
Secretary ofthe Hartford County Silk
Society, and Editor of the Silk Cultu-
list. Illustrated by Engravings.
The interest in all parts ofthe Uni
ted States in the Culture and Manu-
fac.ure Of Silk, manifested by the con.
slant calls for Information on the sub.
iect, has induced the publisher to have
prepared a plain Practical Treatise
on the Cultivation of the Mulberry and
Rearing Silk Worms, adapted to the
Soil and Climate of this country and
to the wants Of plain and practical
men.
The Practical Cul,urist in this coun.
try needs directory adapted to the
Soil on which he plants his trees, and
he Climate in which he rears his
worms, without reference to Soils and
Climates less congenial to their growth.
1t has been therefore the object of the
author TO make treatise strictly prac-
tical, emitting nothing of importance
and adding nothing Of useless or ex-
traneous character.
As making the raw material into
Sewing Silk and Twist is very profit
able to the Silk grower, all necessary
information for that purpose will be
given.
This work is in Press and will soon
be published in duodecimo Of about
100 pages, in handsome binding
price so cents. A part Of the edition
will be put up 10 elastic covers to be
forwarded by mail.

INFINITE LOVE.

INFINITE LOVE.
In LIES cloudless morning, while all is
serene,
While the sunbeams of pleasure enliven
each scene;
Ere the visions Of fancy have fed from
our view,
Or fortune proy'd tickle, or friend prov'd
How pleasing the thought, that each gift
from above,
Is sent as foretaste of INFINITE Love.
When the world with it's cares has encir-
cled us round.
Like the ark in the flood or when we
first have found
That the pleasures of earth, tho in pros
pect SO fair,
Are but beautiful bubbles and lighter
than air
How pleasing the thought that we short
ly shall prove
Those joys which are lasting as iNyrN-
TIE Love.
when the friend who was once to our
bosom more dear
Than the life. blood which warm'a it, has
prov'd insincere;
When the fond hopes we CHERISHED have
VANISHED away,
Like the light dews of morn in the suns
fervid ray
How sweet the reflection, that nothing
can move
His friendship who saves US through In
FINITE Love.
then sorrow and sickness have sadden'd
the soul,
From mortality's shore as life's last sur
ges roll;
When Nature, still fearful Of Jordan's
cold stream.
breads the hope Of futurity proving a
dream;
How soothing to see the compassionate
Dove.
Descend to assure us ofINTIN1rE Love.
Yes, sweet is the thought,when the cold
silent tomb
Shall throw round this body mortality's
gloom.
? he spirit. on angels wings carried al
way.
Shall bask in the sunshine of unelouded
day,
And join the song with blsss splrits a.
boye.
s'To Him who redeemed us"--in INrlN.

speaking Of the peculiar construction

Of using wings as new means of trav-

necessary for man to make himself
specifically lighter than he is, which
could be done by his enveloping him.
self in receplacles of hydrogen gas,
which could surround him as sort Of
balloon jacket, if may use the ex-
preston. He could also,if necessary,
in order to make the head the lighter
part, perhaps have something of The
same Sort attached imme diaiely above
the head, and adapted TO it as a SORT
Of balloon cap. Then ] think, wings,
constructed Of light materials, and
sufficiently large, under the muscular
manage ment of the arms, could be rem
dered efficient. AT least, if he could
not make his errands Of business in
this way against the current he could
take, if he chose, his srial excursions

Tavern, in this village, the massive stone

carrying with it floors, partitions, furniture,
and every thing else, from the third story
all the way down to the cellar. In digging
alongside Of the wall for the purpose OF
erecting an addition to the building, the
earth had been removed SO near its base,
