t%MpoRTANcE OF ritz SILK CULTURE.@-
Gen. Tallmadge, in his recent address de.
livered at the fair Of the American Insti-
tute, in the city Of New York, Diseases the
following important facts in regard to the
culture If silk in this country. He states
that in looking at the tables Of in1portations,
It appearstbat during The last twenty years,
the average impoftations of the single ar.
ficle of silk. has amounted In value TO ten
millions of dollars a year. of twp hundred
and twenty millions. This sum is equal
TO the Indebtedness of the States. Had the
culture Of silk been wisely and honestly en-
Outraged. it would have prevented the me-
ce.sity for this item Of importation and In
debtedness. From the information acdui.
red by the recent Silk Convention held in
this city, ifthe culture Of silk can be rea.
sonab!y encouraged, we pledge ourselves
that 1t will not only add d new staple pro.
duction for the country. bit that the labor
Of the woman. and the children, and The
aged, and the infrm of our population, ap-
Piled to this new pursuit, will not only pro-
vide for their own sub sistence, but would
vet redeem the States from thr impending
infamv Of reputation. We proclaim our
fixed belief, that there Is no SPOT m this
globe, so congenfaf, and in all things so
we'll adapted to the cultivation and manu-
| facture of silk, as these United States.

4 THRILLING SCENE.

I've have conyersed with.a gentleman wfo
survived the wreck of the Sarah Bares, and
have gathered from him mary items Of pain
full interest.
Our informant was in the boat, which left
the steamer just before the waters closed her.
The mate inadvertently threw overheard a
tug containing water, and the first night out
the boat shipped a sea, spelling the only
bread on board. The twelve beings in the
little craft we're thus left destitpte-alone On
the deep, with no knowledge of the distance
to land, and exposed to an awful death as
sharks were seen in every direction, awaiting
the wreck of the boat to seize their victims.
All was ordered and decorum, however. Ev-
cry one felt that nothing bnt an interposltion
of Divine mercy could save those exposed to
elemental strife-but nc lip qulyered-no eye
gave token Of feelings Of doubt or despair
The twilight Of the mind relgned supreme!
nAs has been stated, Mr.. Daggett advised
that the boat should stand out at sea- and moi
attempt to pass the breakers in view beyond
which, two miles distant, was land. His ad.
vice was followed, but the appearance Of the
cloud on the horizon, told too plainly the ap.
proach of one of those gales that rage with
such fury on the Gull. Now came the try.
ing tirae. Poor Daggett was appealed to BY
| ali. as his counsel had been found correct ir
every emergency. He declined pointing GU
any course fos his companions to follow re
| marking that their 9oefa was sealed!
a hasty consultation was held, and it wal
agreed that the boat should attempt TO pas
the breakerst Dsgeett kept his hand on th'
belm,amerely remarking that it 'fwas abou
tho best thiuc they could do buf that ever
one must prepare to meet a wafery gravel!
The reply was unat fnoas, &c DIS viii b
done, "and the Prov Of the boat was heade

MY life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
But ere the shades of evening close,
Is scatter'd on the %gronnd-to die
YET on the roses humble bed
The sweetest dews Of night are shed,
AS if she swept the waste to see
But none shall weep a tear for me.
My life is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the moons pale ray,
It's hold is frail-its date is brief,
Rcstless-and soon to pass away!
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the l~ealess tree.
But none shall breathe a sigh for me!
My life is like the prints, which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand;
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace shall Danish from the sand!
Yet, as if grieving to efface
All vestigc Of the human race,
On that lone shore loud moans the sea.
But none, ais! shalt mourn for me!

PATENT SEkMON.-BY DOW, JR'
NY text may be found in the p%oe'ical
writings Of Thomas Moore, in these words.
Go, wing thy fight from star to star,
From world to luminous world, as far
As the universe spreads it's flaming wall.
Take all the pleasures of the spheres.
And multiply each through endless years,
One minute Of Heaven is worth them all!
Nv hearers--while in pursuit of the
pleasures of this world, we fancy that we
are on the direct road TO heaven; instead of
which, however. VIC find, sooner or later,
that we have been travelling the straight
turnpike to hell. All that pertains to earth
is more or less corrupt and deceiving, no
matter however shining or brilliant the ex-
terror may appear. No bright object Of
earth has a radiance of its own. Every
terrestrial beam IL borrowed of heaven
every earthly Mstre is lent by heaven
and every mundane joy is but an imPer-
feet Daguerreotype Of the joys that lie bu-
ried in the calm blue bosom Of the sky. No
pure and lasting enjoyment can be had
here below, at any price. The new baked
bread of hope may be saturated with the
rich gravy Of qualification. and the heart
heaped with happiness-and yeta single
drop Of the honey treasured in the hive OF
heaven is as much more delicious to the
taste, as sugar is sweeter than the sourest
of cider: and | drank some applejuice the
other day that was sour enough to throw a
vinegar cruet into commissions.
NV fiends-vou can for no adequate
idea of heaven from The impure pleasures
that life affords. So long as The soul IS OBJ
noxious to sin by the corruptions OF the
flesh; il cannot be expected 10 be kept pure
and free from pain. Mans body is a mis-
cradle mansion, at best, for the spirit to
dwell in. 1t is a dark. narrow, and filthy
domicile, seldom washed by the water oil
repentance, nor even swept by the broom
of resolved reformation. The cobweds Of
care hung in every corner-tronb;es, like
rats and mice, are all about The house
sorrow is a subtenant Of The soul--disap
pointments are ever standing by to dE
their dirty fingers IN every nice dish of an
ti~cipation-and the bright blaze of hop
becomes dim in the damp and monldy Gel
lar of doubt. The happiness contained il
the bosoms of mortals is no more TO be com
pared with the happiness of heaven, thai
a creased grind-stone with a Cheshir

THE FIRST LIGHT AND THE.LAsT

THE FIRST LIGHT AND THEkLAST.
WHEN life is all a merry morning
A bodied joy, brimful of glee,
No prophet tongue, 10 tone of warning,
Tells what the end thereof shall be
The stainless Light around US shining,
Gods element, we are,--we live;
We think not of the ewes declining
That sin is great to take, as good is great to
give.
Young children, Of Gods grace unkntwing
Yet full of grace, we play, we dream;
The violet-girded fountain flowing,
Kens not, yet fills the turbid stream;
o Light, that in a shower discendeth,
Then for long years no more down tours
The fool that all his treasure spendeth,
Then wants and walls, hath such a froward lot
as ours.
The years Upon the brow are pressing,
And prays the Old Mans treble lone
"Falher, MY childhood's cradle-blessing,
Be 10 my death-bed passing shown
o earnest prayer, be murmured ever!
o night, be not all overcast!

EXTRAORDINARY BUTTER COW.
MdAea,can Duchess Co, Oct. 9th 1913.
The COW Emma was nine years old last
spring. got her when a calf from Mrs Thom-
as Storm at kipp's bay. She was from a
COW that she had called the cream breed.
This is all the pedigreefthat | can give.
| never till the snmrner Of 1912 kept her
milk separate from three other COWS which !
have, and then, for experiment. | tried 1t only
one week. She then gave Is quarts per day,
and her milk made Is lbs. of butter. During
this time she was kept on grass only. The
past summer she received an injury in her
spine, and in consequence Of his had barely
the power to ret up, and hardly lived through
calving.
On the 2Ist May | commenced keeping an
account Of her milk, and The butter it nj ,de.
She at no time exceeded II quarts per day,
and on the 10th June, being II days. she had
made 65 l-2 lbs, Of butter of The best quality.
This was so Incredible, that | could scarcely
believe my own senses, although | weighed
the butter at every churning myself. thought
| would try again for a day or two. | kept
one days milk by itself, Is IL quarts on the
18th June and churned it. All the milk was
churned, as ID appeared to be unnecessary to
cream it. I had 8 lbs. 8 OF. of butter ready
for the table. The next day it was also tried
and it produced 3 lbs. a OF. The first day
above, the milk was put in two pans-the
other day, only in one pan, which may have
made The difference OF the quarter Of a pound.
In September she only gave II to IL quarts
Der day, and made 10 lbs. Of butter a week.
further, | have not tried her milk. She was
40 lame during this time as scarcely to be
able to move. She was kept on good pasture,
and besides this, | fed her night and morning
with a bushel Of cut hay and 8 quarts OF shorts,
which is still her regular feed.
