MIS- C Z L L A N Y.
ARROGANCE OF WEALTH.

The vassalage OF fashion, which is a
part Of rank, prevents continually the tree
expansion Of mems powers. Let US have
the greatest diversity ofoccupations. But
this does not imply that there is a need Of
splitting society into castles or ranks. or
that a certain number should arrogate
superiority, and stand apart from the rest
oil men as a separate race. Men may
work in different departments of life, and
yet recognize their brotherly relation, and
honor one another, and hold friendly COM
munion with one another. Undoubtedly,
men will prefer as friends and their COM
mon associates, those with whom they
: Svmpathize most. But this is not to form
a rank or caste. For example, the intel
lectual seek the company Of the intelligent;
the pious, those who reverence God. But
suppose the intellectual and the religious
TO cut themselves off by some broad, visi-
bic distinction, from the rest of society !;
to form a clan of their own to refuse into
their houses people of inferior knowledge
AMI virtue, and to diminish, as far as pos
sible, the occasions OF intercourse with
them; would not society rise up as one
man against the arrogant. exclusiveness !?
And if intelligence and piety may not be
the formations of a caste, on what ground
shall they, who have no distinction but
wealth, superior costume, richer equipag-
es, finer houses, draw lines around them
selves, and constitute themselves higher
class2 That some should be richer than
others, is natural and is necessary, and
can only be prevented by gross violations
of inherent rights. Leave men to the
free use OF their powers, and some will
accumulate more than their neighbors,
and through honest means. But TO be
prosperous is not to be superior, and
should form no barrier between men,
Wealth ought not TO secure TO the pros
porous the slightest consideration. The
only distinctions which should be recog-
nized are those Of the soul-strong moral
principle, incorruptible integrity, and
cultivated intellect.
A man in proportion as he had these
claims 10 respect, should be honored and
welcomed everywhere. ! see not why

dressed, should not be a respected guest

Novel Reading.
BY O. A. BRoWNsoN.

Il is never good to excite the mind or
the heart overmuch, save when it can find
immediate vent in actions which concern
real life. A confirmed novel reader is
always morbid; on some sides prefer
naturally sensitive, on others preternatur-
ally callous; capable, it may be, of talk
ing much fine sentiment, bu. wanting in
that spiritual strength, in that moral ro-
business, which is equal to the perform
ance CT useful but difficult part in real
life. The less fue sentiment we have on
our lips, the more genuine feeling shall
we have in our hearts; and the more no.
bic and generous action shall we perform.
He who stops to sentimentalize about pow
erty, will be the las. 10 throw his cloak
over the tattered gabardine OF the beggar.
This is no doubt all very Anticipated and
altogether old fashioned. But we hope
our young friends, seated on rich ottom-
ans, or reclining on soft cOucbes, with
the last new novei still moist from The
press, will forgive this our antedlluvan-
ism. 1t is with no vinegar vlsage, nor
cant, that we tell them 10 throw that novel
aside, to rouse themselves from their IN
dolence, and 60 forth and devote the SEN
sibilities of their hearts, the richness of
their fancies, and the creativeness oil their
imaginations, TO the great and noble work
of relieving actual distress, and Of upbuild-
ing the cause of truth and righteousness
on earth. On !! my young friends, there

To Color and Preserve Wood.

Sometime since report was made, by
committee appointed for the purpose,
10 the Academic des Sciences in Paris, in
relation 10 the discovery of DR.. Boucherie,
of method of preserving wood, coloring
il of any tint, and rendering it nearly or
quite incombustible. The report of the
committee was highly favorable, but since
then we have heard nothing farther upon
the subject. The discovery seems to be of
incalculabe utility and we'll worthy of
trial in this country.
The principle is old and we'll known,
being nothing more than the capillary at
traction, which has been frequently used
in freeing fruit trees from the canker
worm, by means of sulphur placed in a
hole bored into the trunk Of the tree; but
the highes, credit is undoubtedly due to
DR.. Boucherie for his novel and extensive
application of it. His process is to bore
several holes at the foot of the tree or 10
saw it half through, and to apply the ma.
teriaIs which he uses, to the holes, or the
incision. The sap vessels take up the
liquid, end in few days it penetrates
every fibre except the heart. To render
it hard, heavy, and incorruptible, the pyro.

cheap substance, and one very easily made

substance will not be affected by rot or in.
sects. What an invaluable discovery this
is to the farmer, in one single thing-the
posts for his fences, which require TO be
renewed every four years, and which can
only be made advantageously of certain
costly kinds of timber. The lombardy
poplar, which grows with so much rapidi-
ty, but which rots so readily, may, by this
process, become an exceeding ly useful and
valuable tree, in all cases where durabili.
ty without great strength is required.
To render wood incombustible, and to
inrease its elasticity, the chloride, of CAL
cinum is used, or salt water will answer.
Prepared with the saline solution, wood
retains its flexibilily for years it neither
warps nor splits, and burns with the great.

Wood can also be beautifully colored
in this way: The pyroliginite Of iron
gives a grey color, and, if afterwards a
solution of tannin be infused, an ink il
formed in the fibres of the wood, and tintS
Of blue, black, and grey, can be given a
pleasure. Pyrolignite of iron, followed
by the prusiate Of potassa, produces g

produces chrome yellow; or, by adding
all these in succession, different shades o

some attention and experiment. The ad

CHRISTIANITY. Pure Christianity |

CHRISTIANITY. = Pure Christianity
never was, and never can be, the national
religion Of any country upon earth. Il is
gold too refined to be worked up with
any human institution, without large
portion of alloy; for no sooner is this
small grain Of mustard seed watered with
the fertile showers of civil emoluments,
than it grows up large and spreading
tree under the shelter Of whose branches
and leaves, the birds of prey and plumber
will moi fail to make themselves com:or-
table habitations, and thereby deface its
beauty and spoil its fruits.
MANuRE.-We find the following USE
fH suggestion in late English paper:
II is we'll known that in close stable,
where there are good many horses, there
is a very pigment smell affecting the eyes
and nose, more particularly when the
stable is oeing cleaned out. This smell
is occasioned by the flying off of ammonia,
which is the very essence, and value of
manure, and which volatiIizes or flies off
at a very low temperature-even the
warmth of manure in stable will send il
off and it goes off in great quantities by
the common heat of the manure in farm
yard, whether thrown up in heaps or not.
There is, however, a very cheap and SIM
pie remedy for this. Before you begin to
clean out your stable, dissolve some COM
mon salt in water; if a four horse stable,
say 4 lbs. Of salt, dissolved 10 two buckets
OF water. and poured through the nose of
a watering pan, over The stable floor, an
hour or so before you begin TO remove the
manure, and the volatile salts of ammonia,
will become fixed salts from their having
united with the muriatc acid of the CON-
mon salt, and the soda thus liberated from
the salt, will quickly absorb carbonic acid,
forming carbonate of soda; thus you will
retain with your manure the ammonia
which would otherwise have flown away,
and you have also new and most impor-
tant agent thus introduced, viz the car
Donate Of soda AS this is most power
full solvent of all vegetable fibre, and see.
ing that all manures have to be rendered
soluble before they can act upon vegetation,
1t will be at once apparent that the carbo-
nate of soda so introduced, must be most
powerful and valuable agent" > ~..*
