BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

From the Address of Mr.. Peabody al
the Conservation Of the Springfield Gene
try, on the 9th of September, 1871:
"When | saw this great audience lust
now, winding up through the glades of the
Cemetry to take their places on this ground,
| was deeply affected with the thought, how
soon we shall take our places in the dust be-
low. With this deep thought upon our
minds-with these hills and valles around
us-in presence of these venerable trees and
these sparkling waters-with the green earth
beneath and Gods own bright sky above us.
l need not ask your attention, | need not
labor to bring you to solemnity for doubt
not that voice is saying in every heart, the
place whorcon thou standest is holy ground
" Reflect how many tenants will soon be
here, to claim their freehold in the dust be-
low. One fair and gentle child has already
come-a fitting herald to take possession in
the name of all the dead. Here he has laid
himself on a colder pillow than mothers
breast. Many such will soon be here-morn-
ing stars quenchcd in the brightness of their
rising-betore they have known the pains
and sorrows of life below. Children in ten
der years will follow their parents to this
place; the domestic circle will be fully
broken, and thenceforth the wide world will
be their home. The husband will follow the
wife-the light and joy Of his desolate home:
the wife the husband, on whose strong arm
she had hoped to lean through all her days
The young, sinking under the slow torture Of
wasting disease, will flee away and be a,
rest in this holy ground the aged, after
years of labor and sorrow, will depart to
their place in peace. The pale marbles will
rise every where around us, telling of the
dead, sometimes what they were, but still
oitener what they ought to have been"

And smiling summer loycd to bring,

And Autumn's rich luXurlance now,

But rustng meads of golden corn

Our tiocks and herds securely stray;
No tyrant master claims our sore
No ruthless robbcr rends away
NO fierce volcanoes whitening shower
NO Tell SIMEON, with poisonous breath
NOT burning suns, with balelul power,
Awake the fiery plaques of death,
AND here shall rise ON songs to thee

AN ABoRTIvE ENDEAvoR TO ENFORCE
SILENCE. An vncou,h looking llooser
went into an iron-mongers store in Chartres
st, yesterday, whisling, on somewhat of "A
low key, Yankee DOODLE seeming as in
dependent as an eagle in his eyric.
He threw his eye down along the well ar
ranged store, as captain of militia would
look along the lines ola training day, and
addressed the clerk, with the well combed
hair, who stood impatient to know what the
hoosier wanted, that he might at once sup
ply him, and return TO the perusal ofJames'
last novel.
Stranger, you 60 it rather extensive
here, in the saw, Ratchet and etcetera busi-

'Ralhcr,' said the clerk, assuming bland
tone, but wishing the Hoosier on board OF
his flat boat, do any thing for you, sir 2
We'll, | guess you'can young Teller" said
the Hoosier, you seem to be the right kind
of a nice man. Why your hair is jst as
greasy and as glossy as you eat nothing but
bar meat, you raccoon like crtter you.-
Why on arth don't you make clearing on
you chin ! (the clerk wore an imperial.)-
Out west we never leave a stump standing
that we don't cut down.
Sir, said the clerk, peevishly, do you
wish TO buy anything 2
'Haint you got locks 2 said the Hoosiel
perfectly composed.
Yes SAID the clerk, I'VE have locks o

and double shooting locks

HAPPY HOME.

1t is not essential to the happy home that
there he the carpeted floor, the richly cush-
ioned Sofa the soft shade of the astral lamps.
These eegancies gid the apartments. But
they reach not the heart. 1t is neatness, Or
der, and cheerful heart which makes home
that sweet paradise 1t so often is found to be.
There is joy, as real, as heartfelt, by the
cottage freside as in the most splendid sa-
looms Of wealth and refinement. What a
lovely picture has Burns given US of the re-
turn Of the cottager to his home, after the la
bors Of the day
At length mis- lonely cot appears in view
Beneath the shelter of an aged tree
ne eNpecant wee TIM ss, toddlng, stagger through
10 meet Their dad, with iluttering noise and gice'
His clean hearth stone, his ,hriite vifies smile
- The lisPlng infant pratrllng on his kee
Does all his weary carking cares beguilc
ana makes hun quite forget his labor and his toll
The luxuries and clegancies of life are not
to be despised. They are to be received
wi'hgratitude to Him who has provided them
for Our enjoyment But their possession
does not ensure happiness. The sources of
true joys are not so shallow. Some persons,
like some reptiles, have the faculty ofexlract-
ing poison from every thing that is beautiful
and sweet; others, like the bee, will gather
honey from sources in which we should think
no sweet could be found. The cheerful
heart like the Kaleidoscope, causes most dis
cordant materials to arrange themselves into
harmony and beauty.-Boston Trans.

From the Ladies' Companion for November

HEAVEN Is OVER ALL.
BY Frances $. Osaooi
In weary paths, my precious boy
Your ialtcring feet must fall
But bear in mind whe'e r YOU 20
That Heaven is over all
You're tripping tbro garden now,
Where Childhood loves TO play,
And kind hands pull the flowers for you
And throw the thorns away;
And softly falls the tender light
The broezc-'tis joy to lrcathe it
All if perchance, shower descends,
New blossoms wake beneath it;
But by and by You'll leave your bower.
And $50 your ways alone,
With but Il chance companion, love,
Across your pathway thrown;
And sometimes in the desert bare,
Grefs bitter tears must fall:
But bear in mind, my boy, cen there,
That Heaven is over all.
And sometimes, over flinty rocks,
Your tender feet must stray
And sometimes in a tangled wood
J Oh ii Utmost lose your way
AMI oft you'll sigh for Childhoods home,
When gloomy scenes APPEAL,
Oh! bear i'll mind, where'or you roam,
That Heaven is over all!
BE sure 4 Sunbeam, thro' that wood,
Will light you on your way;
he sure, within that solitude,
Some living fount wu!play.
And tho the iljn,y rocl, thoull fret,
Full long your weary feet,
Thcre's moss upon is bosom yet,
Will make a pillow sweet;
And now and lhcn baliny air,
Will float with soft perfume,
And lovely blossoms, hero and there,
viii bless you with their bloom:
But if the clouds should hide the sky,
And binding rain should fall,
Remember God is always nigh,
And Heaven is over all!
Now-now, while yet in Chlldhood's bower
With that wild way in view,
Oh! put your little hand in His,
And He will lead you through!
For It Wlth pure ana patent heafl,
With firm resolve and high,
You tread the path appointed, love,
And pass Temptation by.
A farer home than Chdhool's home,
A fpndcr love than ours,
Await YOU at your Journey : end,
In Heavens own balmy bowers.
Whorc'cr you ao-in veal or woo,
Whatever fate bClall,
In sunny Glade, in forest shade,
That Heaven Is over all.

Northern Illinois and Wisconsin, are
becoming deeply interested in what is des-
tined 10 be It's most important staple, and
it is important that every thing in relation
to it should be calmly viewed, by the Pro-
Queer as well as the Factor.
Our attention has been called to this
subject by what appears to US most Judi
cious article in the Cleveland Herald, Of
the 4th inst, which we commend 10 the
at ention of our readers as being applica-
bic to their meridian:
FLOUR TRADE:
BREAKERS AHEAD.-We do not believe
in croaking, but we do believe that the mis-
fortunes of past years should serve as bea-
cons for the future.
1t is with US a matter Of surprise how
frequently clear, calculating heads lose
their balance, when an unnecessary panic
threatens loss. or improvident excitement
leads to hopes Of profits which have no
other foundation than visionary dreamngs.
We look upon trade in healthy state,
as result Of figures, and if it can be ma
dramatically demonstrated that the supply
falls short OF the demand, or the demand
Of the supply, prices must as certainly fol-

FOREIGN NEWS

The latest foreign arrival, is that of the
Steam Ship Acadia, which reached Bos-
ton the second inst, making the passage
from Liverpool in thirteen and a half
days. The news from Europe by this ar
rival, is destitute of interest. No intelli-
gence Of the President had been received
in England, which was entitled TO credit,
and hopes Of her safety were entirely ex-
tinguished. The most important and en-
crossing subject before the British Parla-
ment, was the proposition for the repeal
Of the Corn Laws. This seems 70 have
been the absorbing subject in England,
during number Of weeks past. No def
mite action has yet been had, and nothing
thus far has transpircd which indicates
the final result. The people of ireland
are petitioning the Queen to yisi: that
country, this summer. /, is stated that
the quantity of ice ioatngon the Atlantic,
is unprecedcntly great the present year.
The prospects of the grain crops in
England is Of the most favorable charac-
