Conspiracy 10 Burn The Priont--Ons
day last week, while the Investigating Comi
mittee were in session, plot 10 burn the
Mount Pleasant State Prison was discover
ed, which, had it been carried Into effect
might have proved fatal 10 every inmate of
the Prison The plan Of the conspirators
was to fire the befry of prison just preyi-
Gus to the time Of locking in the prloners;
and in confusion that would naturally ensus,
accomplish their object. A convict in one
OF the shops was 10 furnish convict ia The
hall with skeleton key, by which he could
obtain access to the atticts of the prison;
the convict in the hall had prepared good
supply of combustible materials, and with
these and lamp he was to ascend tlle a.iis
little before night, FIRE lhem in such mans
ner that they would burn slowly, and thea
returning, leave all fast behind him.
The calculation was, that the fire would
be discovered just before the men would bs
10 cked up for the night, SO that in the con
fusion they might cut he hose of the prss
on engine, las had been done in case of
FIRE at the Auburn PRISON. and with many
others effect their escape. Had the whole
OF this diaaolioal plot succeeded, excsnt that
the fire should remain Undiscovered un,ll
the prison was closed, it is altog gethsr prob.
| able that nearly every man confined there;
would have been sn0thereJ TO death, as it
would have been impossible FOR the keepers

The fellow who was TO execute the in
fernal deed has confessed his guilt, and says;

break out, instead Of assisting TO exiting uish
the flames, to tear down the prison--ag

Test Of Good Flour. Mr. John Babcocl
of London, gives the following rule to as
certain the quality Of -four:
Flour which is pure and unadultered,
may be known by your seizng a handful
briskly, and squeezing it half u minute; if
it preserves the form Of the hand in one
piece, although placed rudely on the table
Not SO with that which contains foreign
substances; its adhesive property is weak
and falls to pieces Immediately The white
ness of -four is no evidence of its goodness
the different materials used in adulteratina
flour, have tendancy to whiten it.

The Editor Of the Maumee Express
reads his neighbors a pleasant, practical
lecture upon the Canada war, from which
we make the following extract:
Friends and fellow-ctizens = Keep
cool and don't make fools of yourselves in
the Canada business Stay at home-mind
your own allairs--keep your money-don't
tear your shirts, nor hurrah before you are
out of the woods. Form as many secret
societies as you please, practice your winks,
mods and grips as you please, but don't
get drunk = don't pledge yourselves on
British ground. They handle guns very
carelessly on the other side Of the bounda-
ry Them Britishers always shut their eyes
before they shoot, and there is no knowing
what they may do, if they should get to
shooting bullets. It's perfect folly to get
in the way Of gun i'll careless bands-so
keep shady-don't join the ''hunters. don
go wandering off away from home ''aboot
gour business !" don't "haue as good right
10 be an place as another" Ifynu want
to look mysterious, look so at your wife ;
if you want to shake your head, shake it at
your children. Do business on your own
capital-pay a sufficient respect to the
soundness of your skin-take newspaper
and pay for it, and you can learn all abou:
these matters as well as if you were on the
ground" 8aE

Omar YIELD. Peaslee Morrill,, ESQ. Of
Dearhon, in this county, informs us that
he sowed quarts of Indian Wheat on the
3D. July last, on one half acre of land and
harvested twenty one bushels from the
same. He thinks that as many as from
four to SIX bushels were scatterd and was
ted in the field. This is certainly a great
yield, but he thinks is no greater than can
be ordinarily raised of that grain. Its
flour makes good WARM cakes and bread;
but its principal benefit is for the fattening

HOPE AND MEMORY.
Ely MRS. sICouRNEY.

A little babe Jay.in the cradle, and Hope
came and kissed it. When its nurse gave
it cake, Hope promised another to-mor-
row and when its young sister brought a
flower, over which it clapped its wings and
crowed, Hope told Of brighter ones. which
it would ga.her for itself
The bate grew 10 a child. anil another
friend came and kissed it, Her name was
Memory. said "looll behind thee, and
tell me what thou scest. The child an
severed Il see little book" And Memory
sid II will teach thee how to get honey
from the book, aud that will be sweet TO
thee whcr thou art old 7"
The child became youth. Once when
he went to his bed Hope and Memory
stood by the pillow Hope sang melodi-
Gus song, and said, ''folow me and every
morning thou shalt wake with smile, as
sweet as the pretty layI sang thee
But Memory said, Hope is there any
need that we should contend He shall be
mine as well as thine and We shall be to
him as sisters all his life long .
So he kissed Hope and Memory as he
was beloved by them both While he slept
peacefully, they sat silently by his side,
weaving rainbow tissues into dreams. When
he awoke, they came with the lark. TO bid
good morning, and he gave a hand to each.
He became man. Every day Hope
guided him to his labor, and every night he
supped with Memory at the table of I<nowl-
edge. ~ 80.
But at last Age found him and turned
his temples gray. To his eye the world
seemed altered, Memory sit by his elbow
chair, like an old tried friend He looked
at her seriously and said Hast thou not
lost something that entrusted thee
And she answered, 81 fear 50 !; for the
lock of my casket is worn. Sometimes |
am weary and sleepy, and Time purIoins
my key. But the gems that thou didst
give me when life was newt canaccount
for. all-see how bright they are ~
While they thus sadly conversed. Hope
put forth wing that she had worn, folded
under her garment, and tried its strength
in a heaven-ward flight.
The old man laid down to die, and when
his soul went forth from the body, the an
gels took it.--And Memory walked with it
through the open gate Of heaven. But
Hope lay down at its threshold, and gently
expired, as a rose giveth cut its last odors
Her parting sigh was like the music of a
serapf's harp. She breathed it into a gln-
rious form, and said ,--s Immortal happi-
ness bring thee a soul that / have led
through the world 1t is now thine-Jesus
hath redeemed it."
