Of miles in circumference. But what are
all such distances and dimensions, vast and
amazing as they are, compared with the
astonishing grandeur of the scene before
US? They sink into comparative insigni-
fcance, and are almost lost amid the
myriads of splendid suns which occupy
the profundities of the Milky-Way. What
is one sun and one planetary system, in the
presence of ten millions of suns, perhaps
far more resplendent, and of hundred
times this number of spacious worlds,
which doubtless revolve around theml Yet
this scene, stupendous as it is, is not the
universe. 1t is, perhaps, as we shall see,
only comparatively small corner of cre-
alton, which beings at an immensely great
er distance will behold as an obscure and
scarcely discernable speck on the out
skirts of their armament. DR.. Dick.

establishments kept up by parties lnteres-
ted in the quick transmission o. inteli-
gence, at the ports Of Dover and CALAIS,
and at regular distances on the roads Of
the two countries; whence the birds are
exchanged IN regular order, as they re-
turn with their little billet. The Interrupt

err, who has his bird in readiness. The
distance by day is accomplished in less
than eight hours. 1t has been found that
hawks have proved themselves dangerous
enemies even to these quck-hIghled birds;
and premium of half crown is paid for
every hawks head produced. The pay
of akeeper is ESQ year; and when this
is added to the cost of food and the expense
of sending the pigeons on from station to
station TO be ready for their flight home,
IT will appear that the service is attended
with considerable outlay. The duty Of
training young birds, and the manage
ment OF the old ones, in feeding them at
proper times, and in keeping them in the
dark till they are grown up, is very re-
sponsible, and almost unceasing. A good
bird is not supposed to last more than two
years.--Phila. Gazette.

A New lMpLEMENT.-W have seen

and cold chisels, with skeleton keys and

which BURGERS call to their aid, but We
were yesterday, shown new invention

or rather like pocket cork screw. When
closed, this clasp key is compressed with.
in very small space, and is IL an admira-
Bile shape for throwing great distance.
The value Of this last quality will be I'M
derstood, when II is considered tina, the
burglars first object, on being arrested, is
to dispose of his implements, which very of.
ton convict him when found in his person.
The key which we were shown could
hardly be better adapted to the fingers Of
a "farhlnger" than it is, as in case of
emergency it could be thrown over the
nearest house top, by slight effort; and,
il suspicion should light upon the thrower,
if would be as difficult matter TO find
the evidence of his guilt as to discover
the precise position of "a needle in stack

THE CINNAMON TREE.-The Cinnamon
tree is native of the island of Ceylon,
In It's natural state it grows to the height
of about 90 feet; but the bark, the only
valuable part, is found to lose much of its
aromatic quality in the mature trees. Ac-
cordingl y the trees are cut young, when the
stems are only five or SIX feet long, and
less than an inch at the largest end. The
bark IS then stripped or peeled off in long
pieces like willow bark, scraped carefully
to remove the cuuce, and laid out 10 dry
during which it curls up in quilts, as they
are called, and It is then ready for the
market, but improves by keeping Cor a
while. The wood is good for nothing
but fuel. Owing to the mode of cultiva-
ton, the cinnamon garden has very mach
the appearance of scrub oak, the rich
bright green leaves OF the small trees be-
ing in contrast with the white plain 10
which they grow.

worn as wedding dress about one hund.

is something between the common lutes-

was known in the silk goods stores, few

MY COUNTRY.

BY An AMERICAN.
love my country's pine-elad hills,
Her thousand bright and gushing rills,
Her sunshine and her storms;
Her rough and rugged rocks thar rear
Their hoaiy leads high in the air,
In wild fantastic forms.
love her rivers deep aad wide,
Those bright streams that seward glide
To seek the ocean breast;
Her smiling fields her pleasant wales,
Her shady deils, her pleasant dales,
The haunts of peaceful rest
love the forest dark and lone.
For there the wild birds merry tone
Is heard from morn till night;
And there the lovely flowers ween,
Than e'er in eastern lands we're seen,
In varied colors bright
Her forests and her valleys fair,
Her flowers that scent the morning ali,
Have all their charms for me;
But more love my eountry's name.
Those words shat echo deathless fame,

The Patriot attempts 10 make something ola sto-
ry out of the circumstance that after the unanl
nous adoption by the nominating committee chosen
from the several counties to present State Ticket
to the Wing Convention, some one moved to take
up their report aud vote upon each nlme separately
This motion made by person who was re-
quescd to do it, and had especial reference to the
candidate for Treasurer This desire was occa
stoned by the existence of point in dispute, and
upon which different individuals had different
views, and which the locos Of course used and
would use for their selfish purposes 1t was desir-
able that the facts should cone out. Tho main
point is this the Treasurer paid an order of Sl00
to one individual when some thought it should have
been paid TO another. The result was full dis
cussion on both sides of the question and the act
of the Treasurer considered right. The Patriot
thinks there was one individual who dssentcd.-
And is not all this right? The locos had told their
big stories, as they no doubt will again, and the
Wings took the occasion to sit them, and after do
ing So, found them utterly false. This is the state
of the case as we understand it, and we have yet to
learn that it Is a very great crime to inquire into
the conduct of public officer, whenever his name
is presented to the consideration of his friends
even though his conduct may be questioned either
by friend or foe CdledOnidn.

Whg State Ticket Our readers will perceive by
reference to another column that the Wings in
State Convention at Montpelier, have re-nominated
the present ncumbents for Governor, Lieut.. Gov
ernor, and Treasurer of the State, as candidates
for re election at the September election. The
Wings have but to turn ont with any thing like
their usual spirit to elect them. The Locos are
making great calculations on our apathy, the alb
sorbng interest Of Rail roads, aud their usual cum
ming and demGgoguism. But let Wings be but
forewarned, and they are forearmed. Let them
give the Locofocos lcsson--teach them the folly
of attempting to ride over the people of Vermont
with their Texon humbug and their Free Trade
and coarse wool twatte. The catalogue Of Loco
foco nquity is too long and too black for the ut-
tude of Vermont Such patriotism must seek its
reward in Botany Bay, Texas, or some other like
congenial clime.-PhGnir.

INTERESTING SCENE.

In the last Vermont Chronicle is an account of
the recent meeting at Peachan, Vt. of the Caedo.
mia Conference of Churches. The writer says:
GA circumstance which rendered the closing OK
ercises the more interesting, was the presence of
the venerable and beloved Rev. Leonard Worces-
ter, senior Pastor of the Church in Peacham. For
some four or five years, through age and inirmity,
he had not visited the scene OF his former obors
and 1t was only as the result OF special effort that
he was enabled to be at Peacham on the Annlver-
sary occasion. Nor was 1t deemed Judiclous that
he should attempt to be present at any more oil
the exercises than those of the last half day. at
which time he appeared and was seated in an arm
