From the Belvidere lN.J Apollo.


n a conversation with gentleman OF
DUR village on this subject, he informed US
that an acquaintance of his had recently
been to Mansfield township, Connecticut,
With q view to procure the services OF
yodng woman skilled 10 the managing OF
The Silk business, bot had not been able 70
iemploy one. They were all either busy at
home, or had gone souh to give that region
the benefit of the knowledge they have
acquired, at compensations of from S20 to
$50 per month, with their travelling expen'
sss paid. In the township in question, the
business has been carried on since the
revolution, and almost every family is en-.
gaped in il in a domestic way, thus finding
profitable mode of keeping employed ITS
supernumerary members, young and old.
The venerable Matthew Carey, and otheI
individuals distinguished for their benevo-
Ience, have been laboring for years to place
female labor on better footing, with very
partial success: The fact mentioned above
seems to 90 far to prove that tho silk bust:
ness is likely to do great things towards
bringing about result SO very desirable.
We are pleased TO see the business making
rapid progress in our village and neighbor'
hood, and doubt not it will be every way
beneficial to the community. We shall
give more particulars as 10 its history, when
We have become somewhat better acquainted
with its details, Of which we Eow feeFcon.
stralnedto confess our ignorance.

TO THE DEPARTED.

Beloved of my bosom, Oh! where dosI thou roam9
Thou hast left this cold clay and thy spirit is free,
Canst thou look without grief on thy desoale home.
On the tears that are flowing in sorrow for thee'
Like the oak in the forest that lifts its proud form,
You stood in the spring,ide of manhood, and
shone, 3 .-aH#Hf ..H---
But the oak is uprooted and rent by the storm,
And manhood with all his bright prospects has
.r flown.
Thou now AIT immortal: one glance may suffice,
And thine eye meets glories than earth ever
.,-l. knew,
In the mds, of The stars as still higher you rise,
Exploring ethereal regions of blue.
Dost thou roam through the air till the Judge shall
descend,
When those that were severed each other shall
meet?
When myriads of angels his course shall attend,
And millions of millions shall bow at his feet?
Thou hast gone to thy God, and where ever thou
His presence is with thee, thy heaven is there,
He lives in the sun, in the moon, and the stars,
He rides on the pillows, and breahes in the air.
How consoling the thought that thy spirit is near,
When storms and Affections beset dark road,
To feel thou hast powerto comfort and cheer,
And whisper take courage and trust in thy God.
And he has right to the farest and best, If =
The treasure worshipped humbIy resign,
I'll murmur no more at his righteous behest,
Thy will, and thine only, my Father, not mine.

4 Deer Singular Application Of

boots being BACKED, clothes washed, love
letters written, and butter churned, by the
application Of steam; but we never before
heard of deer being caught by the same
omniscient agent. The Naomi, on her late
passage down the Mississippi, encountered
fine large buck swimming in the middle
ofthe river, and Immediately gave chase.
Having soon come up with the enemy, she
rounded to and threw out graphing irons;
but the deer letting out reef IN his topsals,
scudded away from their reach, Now com
menced regular and interesting trial of
skill The deer doubled and tackled with
the skill of an old privateer, but the steam
boat was "there." at every turn. AT
length, the deer .wearied with his exertions,
and dismayed at his preservering adversary,
surrendered himself an unconditional pris-
oner of war, and was treated with great
honor and attention at public dinner given
on board the boat next day. ST. Louis

1t is not Generally known, we presume,
that Sir VIM. Draper, so celebreted in Jul
MUS Letters, was in Wilmington, N. C.
where he staid some boys, about the year
ITO. Shortly aftey his controversy with
Junius, he made the tour of North America.
Sir William was gallant soldier: In the
year 1859 he defended Madras in the East
Indies, with uncommon skill and bravery,
against numerous French army, under
the command Of Gen. Lall 1T 1869, he
was at the head Of an expedition that went
against The Spanish Philippine Islands,
and with the small force of one regiment,
and few sepoys and marines he laid
seige to the capital, Manila, and in a short
time took it by storm. The Spaniards ran
somed the place for million sterling. The
ransom was, however, never paid, aud
the supposed acqniescence of Draper in
this injustice TO the vctors, or rather the
charge agains, him of FLEEING prevail led upon
by the English Ministry, for political rea-
sons, to forego the claims of his troops,
furnished topic for some of the sharpest

Blythe following anecdote is related in
the Baltimore Chronicle: =
When Mr.. Clay visited Canada few
weeks ago, he took with him his servant
man Charles, who, We believe, was born
in his service, and has attended upon him
for many years. At Montreal, we believe
it was, some of her Britannia Majesty S
subjects approached Charles with assuran-
ces that he was as free in Canada as Mr..
Clay, and that he could now leave him
without the least fear of being compelled
again into his service. For some time
Charles listened to these suggestions with
silent disregard-but, as they were peril
nacously pressed upon him, he at length
put stop to the entreates Of his phlan-
tnropc friends, by telling them that he was
as well aware as they were of the ease with
which hr could now gain his freedom; but
that, in fact, in the service of Mr.. Clay,
he had as much liberty as he needed or de-
sired; that he preferred to remain with him
and that, in short, he could not ieaus hin.
