AN AGED CLERGYMAN.

In the town Of Franklin, New London
county, Conn, lives the Rev. Samuel Mott.
D. d. We have just perused a sermon
of his delivered last March, on the Sixtie tn
Anniversary Of his settlement over hscon-
gregation He is yet alive and and &C
lively engaged in the labors Of his calling,
although for several years after his settle
ment, he tells us his health was so feeble,
little expectation existed Of a long continu-
ance of his life. For two-thirds Of centu-
airy he has been employed in doing good in
any and all ways that were presented, land
he ever did it most readily.
From his sermon we CLEAN the follow
ing interesting facts;
There have been but three clergymen in
his society, including DR.. Mott, since its
organization. The first was ordained in
IIlS-l25 years ago-lhe second in 1853,
and Dr. Mott himself, in 1882. The first
died at the age of 6s, the second ut 79,and
Dr.. Mott must be at least SO. We ven
ture to say parallel case Of longevity can
not be found in any religious society in the
world. DR.. Mott says that during his long
term Of service he has been kept at home
bv sickness but eleven Sabbaths, and five
Of them were from very triflinG accident
to his hand, but which finally threatened
his life. And the fire Of the flint is in the
good old man yet. 81 stand here to-day,
a monument Of the mercy Of God! am
still in health and comfort, and able to blow
the gospel trump with degree of energy
in season and out Of season, by night and
by day, at home OF abroad, in fair wealth
er or foul, with a good degree Of comfort
to myself"
He has buried more than 700 Of his par
ishioners. All the members Of the church
at the time Of the settlement are dead, and
there are now but II persons in bis parish
of any age, who were there at that time,
and one Of them who was nine months old
is now his senior deacon. Among the
dead are DR.. Motifs wife, eight children,a
son in-law, and one child Of the fifth gen.
Grafton, all having livedand died in the same
house.
DR.. Mott says that among other labors
he has always visited the schools several

DisgraceGu Scene in the Arkansos Leg
islature.-On the 7th ult., a disgraceful
scene occurred in the House Of Represen-
ta,ives at Little Rock, growing on, Of the
following circumstances:-A Mr.. Mayrcs
abiding to the report Of certain commit
tee, remarked that it was " false" where
upon a Mr.. Fields, chairman Of the COM
mlttee, Immediately arose, and with pro-
fame language declared that it was " a lie,
that he would not put his name to any thing
that was false" and drew his pistol, and ad-
vanced towards Mr.. Mayres, when he was
interrupted. Mr.. M. stood calmly in his
place, without attempting in any way to
to add the excitement The House was call
ed to order; an explanation was made, and
both gentleman sent iE written apologies to
to the Speaker, who read the same, and
they were received by majority Of the
House; but it was thought that The affair
was not thus finally settled. A" meeting"
of the parties was anticipated the next day.
The prompt expulsion Of such members
should follow such disgraceful and undig-
nified conduct.

C!eanAhess.-A white-yellow cravat or
SHIRT on man, speaks at once the charac-
ter of his wife; and, be you assured that
she will not take with your dress pains
which she has never taken with her own.
Then, the manner of putting on the dress
is no bad foundation for Judging; if it be
carelessly. soveuly, if it do not fit proper
ly. No matter for its mean quality ;mean
as ii may be, it may be neatly and trinity
put on; and, if it be not, take care of YOUR
self for, as you will soon find to your cost.
slovcn in one thing is a sIoven in all
things. The country people judge greatly
from the state Of the covering Of the ANGLES;
and if that be not clean and tight, they con-
clude that all out Of sight is no: what it
ought to be. Look at the shoes. If they
be trodden on one side, loose on the foot,
or run down on the heel, it is a very bad
sign; and, as to slip-shod, though a. COM
ing down in the morning, and even before
daylight, make up your mind to rope
rather than live with slip ho1 wife. Oh!
how much do women lose by inattention to
those matters! Men, in general, say moth
ing about it to their wives; but they think
about it; they envy their luckier neighbors;
and, in numerous cases, consequences the
most serions arise from the apparently
trifing cause. Beauty is valuable, it is
one Of the ties, and strong tie too; that,
however, cannot last to an old age; but the
charm Of cleanliness never ends but with
life itself-Co Goblet.

SIX REASONS FOR PLANTING AN
nRCHAQn
BY EDISON HARKNESs.

BY EDISON HARDNESS.
1st. Would you leave an Inheritance 10
your children?-plant an orchard. No
other investment Of money and labor will,
in the long run, pay so well.
3D. " ould you make home pleasant
the abode Of the social virtues? plant an
orchard. Nothing better promotes among
neighbors a feeling Of kindness and good
will, than treat Of good fruit, often re-
pea:ed.
Sd. Would you remove from your
children the strongest temptation to steal9
plant an orchard. If children cannot OBJ
tain fruit at home. they are very apt to
steal lit; and when they have learned to
steal fruit, they are in fair way Of learn
ing to steal horses.
4th. Would you cultivate constant
feeling Of thankfuness towards the Great
Giver Of all good! plant an orchard. By
having constantly before you one Of the
greatest blessings given to man, YOU must
be hardened indeed if You are not infu-
enced by spirit Of humility and thank
fulness.
9Th. Would your children love their
home-respect their parents while living
and venerate their memory when dead
in all their wanderings look back upon the
home o. their youth as sacred spot-an
oasis in the great wilderness of the world!
then plant an orchard.
9th. In short, if you wish to avail your
self Of the blessings Of bountiiul Provi-
dence, which are within your reach, you
must plant an orchard. And when you
! do it, see that you plant good fruit Don''

LARD OIL.

BY X. 5 LA o n q.
To the Editor of the Prairie Farmer.
| sec in the Sept. No. you ask me, if na
too much trouble, to write again my views
upon the subject Of lard and lard lamps,
which you had by accident lost. consi-
der it not necessary now, as since | wroto
that, am fully satisfied the time has come
when we can use lard oil, and Of superior
quality to the best winter strained sperm
oil, and it will burn in any of the common
lamps. and give superior light. Every
farmer. and may say every good citizen
in the western States and Territories,
should feel deep interest in encouraging
the manufacture Of lard into oil and tallow.
There ought TO be number Of the manu-
factories set up at once in Chicago, and
every farmer who carries pork to market
this coming fall and winter ought to pur-
chase either lard oil or tallow. or both, and
give ii a fair trial. They will not be dis
appointed. BY encouraging the manuiac-
ture Of pork into oil and lard, and this CO.
ming into general use, and so much better
and cheaper shan sperm oil, it is rcasona-
be for US TO expect that the time is at hand
when several thousand barrels Of lard will
be manufactured annually for that purpose.
| feel confident Of its being soon brought
into general use in every part Of the Uni
ted States and the Canadas; and also it will
be found a valuable article for expectation.
1t is found, with pure alcohol. rightly
managed, that 100 Of lard will give 20 of
pure oil and 80 Of tallow; and the former
is found upon trial 10 answer for all sorts
of purposes TO which sperm and olive oil
have been applied, and this with great sa-
wing, even on machinery and wool. In
New York, at a recent auction sale, sever
raj casks Of the best winter strained oil sold
only at 81 ID cents per gallon, while Lees
No. lard oil sells at SO cents per gallon;
and all this because the latter burns bright
er land longer than the former. All the
West may be considered pork growing
country; and it is for the interest Of us al |
to be engaged in this business. We may
say, Farmers Of the West VS.. The many
thousand whale catchers Of old Nantucket,
That they may spout and blubber as
much as they please; the day for using
sperm oil and candles in all the West is
soon to be at an end. There will be no
mistake in this thing.

Last of the Republics If in the midst
of such munifcence, with the republics Of
antiquity in the range Of memory-their
lolics, crimes, and immoralites before us
we are destined to increase the monu-
mental pile erected to perpetuate the annals
of human guilt and foIly-if local feelings
shall eventually triumph over general good
and petty animosities destroy the bond
which ages have consecrated-if some
tac,ious chieftan, taking advantage of
such anarchy shall enter the temple Of
freedom, tear the genius Of liberty from
her throne, and erect the standard Of des-
po,ism, the demon of tyranny, standing
securely on his alter, surrounded by uni
verse, may vauntingly exclaim as he
points to the grave of American glory, Be-

Excess of specie over actual Cir

The circulation Of these same banks ia
1871 was $l0,236, 900, making a contrac-
ton in twelve months of 2,OOO,0O0; and
this. we presume, is type of what has
occurred in other states.
The abundance Of money in our cities,
indicative as it is of the general sta gnation
OF all business pursuits, and Of the utter
want OF confidence, has led to considera-
Bile speculative investment in the stocks OF
this state, and Of the United States; and
measurably Of some Of the other states.
This tendency has been promoted by the
growing distrust Of investments in monied
interpretations, where frauds and defalca-
tons have been so frequent and SO ruin

Arab BeaHty.-Among them was one OF
the most beautiful girls ever saw, appa-
renily about twenty years Of age. She
was Of dark complexion, with eyes black
as Jet: the inside Of her cyelids was black
ened with koIle, her teeth were white as
ivory, and her long hair fell down her neck
and over her shoulders long enough for her
to sit down upon. She had large silver ear
rings and silver ring through her under
lip. gently drawing it down and displaying
her fine teeth. Through her hair was pass
ed a silver arrow, combining her veil to the
top Of her head, which was thrown back
ncglgentIy over her shoulders: she was
habited in long, blue, loose shirt, open
the breast; her bare arms were covered
with bracelets, and a string Of beads was
wound round her neck; her feet were bare,
and two large rings were fastened round
her ankles. She walked as all the Arab
women do; with grace and beauty Of car
rage never saw surpassed; nor in SIM
plicity and elegance of appearance have |
ever seen fine lady of Europe, with her
Jewels and pearls, equal this plain and sim
pie Arab girl.-Addisoa's TraretS.

We once heard Of gentlemen, strongly
attached to the rules Of etiquette, who be-
ing one night at hotel, saw a fellow
standing with his back to the fire, and his
coat tail in the act Of consuming. The be-
holder had, unluckIy never been introduc-
ed to the burning gentleman, and could not
on any account be so uncivil rs TO address
him, before they were made acquain:ed.--
He accordingly ran over the whole house
seeking the host, and, having at length
found him, earnestly requested he would
go and inform the stranger of the danger
Gus situation Of his coat tail. Before The
host could do it, however, the combustion
had extended through cloth and linen, and
got so strong hold on the unfortunate man
that, being of very iufammable tempera
mcn,, he came near, burning up like box
Of finder.
Etiquette is good thing. but verify, in
this case, we think it was carried too far.
