L. is said that excellent lamp oil can be

the immense crops of corn which grow

whole world could be supplied with oil
in this way. The farmers would find a

BEAUTIFUL ExTRAcT.-The following
beautiful extract is taken from the New
England Weekly Review:
..War may s.-ide over the land with
the crushing step of a glant-pestilence
may steal over it like an invisible curse
reaching its victims silently and unseen
-nnpeopIing here vilage-and there a
city; unit. every dwelling is sepulchre-
famine may brood over il with long and
weary visitation; until the sky itself is
brazen and the beautiful greenness gives
place to the parched desert wide waste
of unproduciive descation. But these are
only physical evils. The wild flowers
will bloom in peace on the field of battle.
and above the crushed skeleton The de-
stroying angel of the pes,iIence will retire
when the errand is done, and the nation
will again breathe freely, and the barren.
ness of famine will cease at last,-the
cloud will be prodigal of its boarded rain
and the wilderness will blossom But
for moral desola,ion there is no surviving
spring. Let the moral and republican
principles OF our country be Abandoned
our representatives bow in unconditional
obsequlousness to individual dictation-let
impudence, and intrigue, and corruption
triumph over honesty and intellect, and
our Liberties and strength will depart for
ever. OF these there can be no resusclta>
ton. The 'abominalion of dcsolalion,
will be fixed and perpetual and, as the
mighty fabric of our glory tolters into
ruins, the nations of the earth will mock
at us in our overthrow, like the powers of
darkness, when the throned one Of Baby
lon became even as themselves and the
glory of the Chaldees had gone down
for ever"

And stole last fond look
AT the Cabins lone, deserted hall,
And the bottles in the nook;
He listen'd for the song
OfeTip and Ty' so queer,
And the funny strains Of the Sing Song Club,
But they came not to his ear!
Beside the cabin porch,
An empty key was there
And high upon the gablc-cnd
A coon-skin fiuttered bare;
They brought old scehes to mind
The cider revcs dear
And he drew his sleeve across his nose,
And wiped away-a tear.
He rose and waddIed in
Oh do not deem him weak,
Because his nose did shame the rose
That blossomed. on his check!
Go watch and learn his grief
AS close behind the door,
He tries in vain the empty cask
That blessed his love of yore!
"Is this the cask," he cries.
With mouth like yawning chasm,
(which once was filled up to the bung,
With Wing enthusiasm"
It's hollow sound proclaims
The emptiness within

Their patriotic din.

Various are the anecdotes ON record of
the humor of the Irish post boys, but we
question if any of them is more charac-
terislic than the following incident. While
in Ireland last summer, two gentlemen hi
red car from Belfast to 60 by the hill
road. A little after they had reached the
the rising ground, and while absorbed in
the admirali IN of the extensive and pic
,uresque scenery, they scarcely perceived
that the driver had pulled up the horse,
till he came round and opened the car
door, and Immediately shut it with a
loud bang. On being asked in rather
surly tone the meaning of his CONDUCT. he
held up his hands as if 10 command Sic

king Paddy believe you're out, walking
up the hill, for the devil of a foot he'd go
farther this blessed day, did he know that
yer honors were setting at your aise, an
himself pulin' the legs off him up this

Jack Downing still keeps up his epistolary
correspondence with the New York Express.
He has just written letter about the Boun-
dairy Question "and so on" addressed to John
Bull, Esq. His Introductory is quaint and
amusing:
/ did think, at first, would send this letter
TO the Queen herself, so there would be no
mistake about it, as find it is the best way
after ALL is to go right to the head of the fami-
ly-but it is now going on thirteen years last
grass since / wrote letter to any kind OF
woman folks, and the last was to Miss Hepsy
Ann Appleby who kept school at Saco, a.
bout little counting matter; and | riled her
considerable by calling her an angle instead
of an angel, and she sent me back about as
sharp and sour an answer as ever man got
there warn't bit of that paper that wouldn't
turn pan ofmilk as quick as pece of run.
net-and all owing that accident in my put.
ting an. L before an E, and she having little
crook in the back which never thought on
but women are particular folks about such
things, and if you touch 'em on soft spo
the fat is in the fire right off-and so said
never would again try my hand in writing any
on 'em letter again; and that is the mair
reason why / don't send this letter to The
Queen instead of to you.
