How TO HAVE COLD WATER.-The
Philadelphia Ledger says" We can sug-
gest mode within the reach Of every per-
son. Let the jar, pitcher, or vessel used
for water, be surrounded with one or more
folds of coarse cotton to be constantly wet.
The evaporation Of The water from this
will carry off the heat from the water in
side. and soon reduce it to freezing point.
In India, and other tropica, regions, where
ice cannot be procured, this practice is
common. Let every mechanic or labor
er have at his place Of employment two
pitchers thus provided, with lids or COW
ers, the one to contain water for drinking
the other fcr evaporation; and he can al
ways have supply Of cool water in warm
weather. Any person can ties! this by dip
ping his finger in the water, and holding
it in the air, on warm day. After doing
this two or three times, be will find his fin
ger uncomioriably cold.

A NcBLE ACT-AND HOW 1T WAS RE-
wARDED "A person in the warehouse OF
the Tonawanda Railroad Company, stua-
ted on the bank Of the canal nea :heir Of
fee in Rochester, while engaged at his bu
sincss last Saturday, heard The cry of a
child as if in distress; but hearing the voice
Of females whom he supposed attended it,
he paid little attention. It'll hearing fain,
and more distressing cry, he went out on
the bank of the canal, and saw some ie-
males pointing to an eddy on the water,
saying, {" a child just sunk there" He
jumped in as he was, and succeeded in
bringing the child up and restored it TO its
agonZed mother.
The father was absent, but returned that
evening, and left for Genesee in the morn
ing, without even thanking the person for
saving the life of his child though his re-
sidence was directly opposite the ware
house, and the gentleman lost SD and a
pencil case and knife out Of his pocket in
his humane effort to save the life Of the
child.
The name Of the humane man is Chas.

SWEETNESS OF NATURE.-Surely there
is nothing in the world short of the most
undivided reciprocal attachment, that has
such power ever the workings Of the hu-
man heart as the mild sweetness Of nature.
The most ruflled temper when emerging
from the town will subside into Il calm at
the sight Of Wild stretch Of landscape re-
posing in the twilight Of n fine evening.
1t is then that the spirit Of peace settles
upon the heart, un(e,ters the thoughts and
elevstcs the soul to the Creator. Il is then
that we behold the parent o. the universe
in his works; we see his grandeur in the
earth, sea, and sky; we feel his affection
in the emotions which they raise, and half
mortal, halr-ethcrcalized, forget where we
are ia the anticipation Of what the world
must be, Of which this lovely earth is mere
" the shadow.-Miss Porter.

The Hebrew Langu0ge.-Wh no can des-

The nloSt simple, the most philosophical,
and the most ancient Of written tongues
with letters like blocks of marble, with
words like kings palaces, with sentences
like cities walled up to heaven: though
robcd in the beauties Of holiness, Yet rug
gcd as the mountains about Jerusalem; I'M
changcable in It's idiom, unyieIdlng ID lis

from generation TO generation the Ian
guagc Of rigour and Of Judgment, of ado
ration and obedience; spoken first IN the
garden Of Eden, or by the builders Of Ba-

fingers Of Jehovah forever preserving its
awful dignity, whether sung by the sera-
phim above, or by the choirs of the temple,
whether carried TO the highest heavens of
subImity by Isaiah or brought down TO
play among the roses Of Sharon and the
lilies Of the valley of Solomon, and destl-

and the natural Of the Latin, unable to soar

Three languages containing all the treas
ures of the ancient world; Hebrew, Greek
and Latin, once rcconciled at the cross,
and brought into mysterious union around
the head of the dying Son Of God, have
from that day to this formed the united re-
