About two years of his time in 'ndla has been
spent in Calcutta in lranslating and printing the BIZ

Foreign Bible Society. While engaged on THIS tran
station, he applied himself from four in the morning
till eight in the evening" Notwithstanding the intense
md sury hoot Of Calcutta. Aud strange ne 1t may
some, he assigns this very fact of his intense
application, u leading cause of his uninterrupted
health aud vigor. "The man who would live i'll In.

THE PATENT
GALVANIC RINGS,
MAGNETIC FLUID.

VNHIS remarkable discovery has received the uni
Il versal appreciation of the medical profession of
Great Britain, and has been sufficiently long be-
fore the American public TO give fair test of its
power and efficacy. The Patent Gatuanic Rings
have been found to answer all the purposes for which
the ordinary Gavanic Battery or Electric and Mag
netc machines used but without any of the
injurious shocks which accompany the application by
those instruments, and in many other respects are
more safe and certain in accomplishing the desired
object.
The Galvanic Rings have been used with perfect
success in all of Rheumatism acute or chronic,
applied to the head, face limbs; Govt, Tic Doio-
reaur, Ioothache, Bronchitis VertigO, Nervous or
hpsy, FITS, Cramp, Pdipitation IF The Heart, .4po-
plants, Neuralgia, General Debility Deficiency Of
Nervous Energy, and all Nervous Disorders. Their
extraordinary effect upon the system must be wit
messed to be believed, and a certain preventive for
the preceding complaints, they equally to be re-
commended The Galvanic Rings are in every way
perfectly harmless and sold prices to be within
the reach of all. Christes Magnetic Fluid is used
in connection with the Rings, to render their eff
cien action certain and to direct the Galvanic infu-
ence to the particular parts which are affected
For numerous certificates of the highest character
regarding the efficacy of the Gavanic Rings and
Magnetic Fluid, reference is made to former adver
tlsements, or they may be at the office. The
only agency in New York is at 1874 Fulton street.

point but one Agent in each Of the cities of the East

A 0Ioye of n Bonnet"

4 correspondent of the Boston Post gives tine fol
lowing funny account of popping the question nm
der curious circumstances AS party of pleasure
was ascending Mount Tom few days ago, n well
dressed man, furnished with fishing tackle, accosted
lady, one of the party, who had loered behind
her companions to enjoy, without interruption, the
beautiful scenery which lay ulong the rich valley OF
the Connecticut.
"GOod morning, madamw said the fisherman
touching his hat.
"Good morning, sir!" replied the lady, with dig
nifty of manner which would have been considered
perfect at the court of Queen Elzabath.
at lisa fine morning, madam" continued the gen.
tleman: 81 saw your b0nnet Mt the foot of the hill,
and thought should like to marry tie lady who
wore that bonnet. Ii struck my fancy exactly, and
have walked up here TO ask you if you would like
TO enter that blessed srate with me.
The lady somewhat startled at the ahruptness
OF this proposition, and her first impulse To hnr-
ny on 10 her companions; hut her dignity aud self
possession prevailed, and she quietly turned TO the
stranger aud said sit very serious proposal TO
come from one who had never seen her before"
"Bmt have seen your bonnet" said he, sand
know you will suit me. have money! and good
house nj the foot of yondrr h.-My wife and chill
dren are dead; am all alone. If you outlive me
you shall have all my properly. ! have just got a
new stone for the grave of my wife, for which gave
tweniy-six dollars buy all my things for the house
by the quantity. You shall be well provided for in
every Thing. don't thing you could do helter."
The lady Ind seen much of the world-had held
command in the fashionable circles of the South
and the "chivary" had hended the knee her beau
~ and accomplishments and the learned to tile intel
hgence and cultivation of her mind. She had sailed
triumphant and unconquered everywhere, and to be
thus waylaid and enlapped into lnatrimony, was
thing not TO he thought of for Il moment; and so
she raised her form to more than its usual height
aud giviRg additional dignity &c the inclination OF
her head, she bowed "rood hy' TO the fishing wild
over, aud left him bestow himself and his grave
stones one else.
il is 10 be regretted that the pattern Of the bonnet
is not known-if one Of our bonnet makers could
only secure iI-she might realize fortune A pop
the-queson bonnet would be novelty in the re-
gions of Fanrydon.

"THY WILL BE DONE"
BY FRANCIS 5. oseooD.

BY FRANCES 5. OSGOOD.
"Como hither, George and Marian,
Come hiiher, Isabelle"
Thus spake youthful mother,
And soft her accents fell.
And George, the rosy, dark eyed rogue,
Came bounding at her will
And Isabelle, the darling,
And Marian, meek and still.
"Now if you each one prayer to Heaven,
And only one might say,
For what, my precious children,
Would you this moment pray"
"Ohi ! would pray that God would send
His bright Heaven down to earth,
Nor take from us our loved ones"
Said George in lhoughlcss mrth.
And l." said loving Isabelle,
"Would ask, my darling mother
That we might die together

Then Marian raised her thoughtful eyes,

The LosT Wte.-While Lord Coulstoun lived in
house in the Advocates Close, Edinburg strange
accident one morning befel him. 1t was ut TINT
time the custom for advocates and judges to dress
themselves in gowns, aud wig, and cravais at their
houses, and walk to the Parliament House. They
usually bieakfasted early and, when dressed, were
in the habit of leaning their parlor windows for
few minutes, before ST. Giles bell started the sound
ing penl of quarter TO nine, enjoying the agreeable
morning air, and perhaps discussing the news of the
day. 1t SO happened, one morning, while Lord Coal
was preparing enjoy his natutnal trent, two
girls who lived in the second fiat above were amusing
themselves with kitten, which in houghtless sport
they had swung over the window, by cord tied
round its middle, and hosted for some time up and
down, till the creature was getting rather desperate
with its exertions. His lortship had just popped
his head ou5s als the window, directly below that
from which tiv'gnten swung, litlc suspectng, good
easy man, what danger impended, like the sword
of Damocles, over his head; when down came the
exnsperated animal at full career directly upon his
senatorial wig. No sooner had the girls perceived
what sort of landing place their kitten had found,
than in terror and surprise they began to draw
il up; but this measure too late, for along
with the animal, up also the judges wig fixed
full in its determined alons. His lordship's surprise
on finding his wig lifted off his head, was ten thou

New YoRK farmers CLuB.-At the meeting
held on the 9Th of August, Thos jeremiah, Esq. in
the chair, the subject of manure was discussed
Mr.. Kerr-Farm-yard manure undergoes a fer
menation suited to the development of many in
sects, mass of it may he sceu eeming with their.
| These with the manure spread upon the land,
and ready for tile vegetation to which their
habits attach them. My friend, Judge Ball, of
Hoosick, in this state, conposted manure with one
part of lime, three of manure, and fifth or sixth of
the whole, oamy earth. He formed many heaps of
this compost In fortnight, afterwards, the change
in the masses was astonishing, taking dung fork
and opening The tops of the heaps thick smoke is
sued from them. In four weeks time examined
them for insects and could not find one even the
flies would not touch the heaps. Some heaps that
had no such treatment were moving masses OF in
sects Lime produced, instead of the puterfaetive
process, the Dry Rot or Eremacausis; this de-
stroys not only insects, but seeds of weeds. The
smell from the common dung heaps offensive,
that from the composts not at all so. Actual ex-
perence has Proved that in two fields adjacent one
MANFRED with compost had few, if any insects, while
the crop of the other with common farm-yard ma
nure was destroyed by them.
DIR. Underhill--To avoid the fly and the worm in
wheat, SOW early or late when your grain has at
tanned some hight, you will find the nits of insects on
it-then turn in sheep or young cattle who will eat
off all the blades, nits and ALL IF you SOW late, you
avoid nIs-you may miss them besides the manure
len by your sheep is very good for your crop. l
know but one remedy which is easily tried and is
said to he efiectual. 1t is quick lime, Stacked per-
feclly fine; when dried take it with your three fin
gers ust you do grass seed) all over your wheat
field soon after wheat is in blossom, and when you
see the flies lowering over the field-sow in this
way about Two pecks of lime 10 the acre. The dew
will moisen The lime, and il then reaches the insect
larve and kills them. This process has saved a
whole wheat crop on one field, while neiehborins
one was destroyed by the worm.
