The Kentucky Legislature have offered
a premium of S32, 900 for the discovery OF
the cause Of that fatal and affective disease
incident to cattle, called the milk sickness.
This singular disease has prevailed for ua-
ny years in some parts of Kentucky, Hi
nois, Missouri, and perhaps Indiana, and
has destroyed immense numbers of cattle,
and frequently human beings who drank OF
the milk or ate of the flesh Of animals afllict-
ed with it, unwittngIy, and yet no one can
tell its cause or find cure. Many con-
tend that it is caused by eating some plant
or vegetable, but what that plant or vegeta-
BILE is they know not.

Perhaps there never was greater error
than is to be found in the commonly receiv-
ed opinion that voluntary martyrdom is a
test of the goodness of "a cause. Bgotry,
ambition, and obstinacy have had more
martyrs than ever fell to the lot of pure

Juggernaut, the Hindoo funeral pile, and

OH! STEAL NOT THOU MY FAITH AWAY.

Oh not thou my faith away,
No fempt TO doubt the trusting mind;
Let al the earth can yield decay,
But leave this heavenly gift behind.
Our life is but meteor CLEAN,
Lit up amid surrounding gloom
A dying lamp, itful beam,
Quenohed in the cold and silent tomb.
Yet il, ds holy men have said,
There lie beyond that dreary bourne
Some region where the faithful dead
Eternally forget to mourn
swclcome the scof, the sword, the chain,
The burning wiAi, the dark-abyss:
Ishripk notfrom the path of pain,
Whi Hdeth in world like this.
But oh /! If all that nerves us here,
When grief assals and sorrow stings,
Exists but in the shadowy sphere
OF Fancy's weak imagining
Ifhopes, though cherished long and deep,
Be cold aud baseless mockeries,
Then welcome that eternal sleep
Which knows not dreams like these.
Yet, hush, thou troubled heart be still,
Renounce thy vain philosophy;
Like morning on the misty hill,
The light of truth will breek on thee.
Go, search the prophets deathless pages
Go, question thou the radiant sky;
And from them, mistaken sage,
The glorious words, "thou shalt not die~

portion of the fuel is consumed, and kept in
the furnace by means of a slide valve, which
shuts over the steam pipe, and by pumping
into the furnace the air from without by
means Of two cylinders moved by the steam
cylinders. This air expands by contact
with the blaze, and mingles with the steam
and increases the power by a determlnatt
ratio. THE blaze of the furnace is poured

SALuTATIoNs.--In some countries they

ears; the Franks pucked out hair and

slipper when they meet. In some of the

and then rub your face for you; in Others, it
is the height of politeness to fling jar of

INTRoDUcTIoN OF EUROPEAN CIvILIzA-
TIoN INTO THE EAsT.-lt is believed that
Ibrahim Pdsha's movements in Syria look
to the possession Of Bugdad as centre Of
cominere TO increase the power of the Vi
ceroy in that direction. A few more
steamers on the Persian Gulf, and Red Sea,
and the Euphrates. and some railroads
through the Holy Land and Persia, would
put an end TO the Barbarian dominion in
that quarter, and plant the standard Of Eng
lish and French civilization upon the an
cient empire Of Cyrus. Persopolis aud
Babylon may yet see the day when the
feur de us and the red cross banner of St
George shall foat over theirruined columns
and haitIements, and when the power of the
press and steam combined, shall regenerate
the lands of Semiramis and Sardanapalus
By the aid of modern arts, brought to such
perfection in Europe, all the East may look
forward one day to a position much higher il
respect to the amelioration Of mankind and
their disenthralment from despotism than
they ever enjoyed in those memorable peri
