A correspondent Of the Boston Post, writ
ing from Northampton, under date OF July
IA, describes an interesting scene, which he
pretends occurred on Mount Tom. He
says, that as party Of pleasure were ascend
ing this noble eininence, well dressed man,
with fishing-tackle IN hand, accosted lady
of the party, who happened to loiter behind,
with the compliments of the day. The lady
proceeded to the business with the utmost
coolness.-Northampton Gazette.

up here to ask you if you would like to en-

The lady was somewhat startled at the
abruPtness of this proposition. and her frs
impulse was to hurry on TO her companions
but her dignity and seli-possession prevailed
and she quietly turned to the stranger and

Look out for the Bee Moth.

At this season the moth hovers around
the beehive TO find safe place for its eggs.
Many plans have been recommended to keep
them out of the hive, and some have sue

caught and destroyed by little attention at
the right time. After sunset place dish,
with whey in it, near the hive; the miller is
active after sunset, and is fond of whey
She will drown herself in this liquid.
Some bee-keepers build small fires near
the hives, The evening. The light attracts
the miller and her wings are singed off by
the blaze. 1t is well to look daily at your
bee-hves through this month You will
find more honey IN them in August than lat
err in the season. Such as you intend to
take up should not stand till September -
Cant up each hive in the morning and brush
away all the litter that you find A little

be pleasing TO your bees and displeasing to

August is good month for moving BUSH
es, as the siumps are more likely TO die then
than in June; but moving bushes is not al
ways profitable business. When the land
can be ploughed, most of the bushes may be
killed without moving. When there is not
large proportion Of bushes in a pasture,
young cattle and COWS too will help to keep
them down. They love variety and choose
to feed little daily on many kinds when
there is grass enough in the pasture. But
when half the land is covered with bushes
they will not be kept down by cattle. When
there is but one acre Of bushes to ten ofpas.

ticles they produce for domestic consump-
ton are as indispensable at the South as at
the North, and foreign and domestic rivalry
has increased the supply and reduced the
price OF almost every manufactured article.
The protective policy, therefore, sys-
TEN which increases The demand for all raw
material, and lowers the cost of all manu-
featured arlicles-may well be advocated as
a truly national, truly American system.
In the approaching election, no national
question is indeed directly involved, but in
the wise and faithful administration of the
domestic concerns Of our own State, in the
influence of our example upon the politics
OF other States, in the Importance of retain
ing our long mistaken ascendancy, that we
may be better organized and prepared for a
mother great contest, to which the rapid
flight of time will speedily bring us--in all
these we may find present motives enough
to arouse the tagging zeal of all, who,
though exhausted by recent labors and de-
pressed by late defeat, are yet con6dent OF
the goodness OF their cause.
Though it is lawful to be taught from our
enemies, yet unhappily there is little to
earn from The party tactics Of our oppo-
nents, because there is little in their organi-
cation, their principles, or their practice,
that true patriot can with a safe conscience
adopt. One sound lesson. however, we
may borrow even from namely, to
suffer ourselves to be diverted from our pur.
pose by no collateral issue, TO be distracted
by no chickering's or strifes Of selfish and
jealous asprants. Let US then return once
more, with united and renewed ardor, to the
field Of our hundred iriumphs, and victory
will once more assuredly crown our efforts.

ARRIVAL OF THE "CAMBRIA."

Fourteen days Later from Europe
We clip the following Foreign news from
that excellent daily paper the Buffalo Nation
al Pilot; Paper which invariably brings US
the earliest eastern intelligence -
Cotton was in increased demand, in
England, and prices had risen, without
curtailing the demand.
The American provision market was
flat, and quotations nominal-cause as
signed, absence of stocks.
The artificial state of things, in the
iron market, as noticed by us, upon the
previous arrival, has still farther react
ed, and the results follow.
The quarterly meeting of the iron
masters has recently been held in STAFF
fordshire. During the last few weeks
every description of manufactured iron
has been reduced upwards Of 20 per
cent. The impression was that the
market would sink still lower. and some
talk is already current about lowering
the wages of the golfers.
Speculation has thus received a blow.
under the effects of which the trade is
now reeling. The price of bar iron
is nominally $40 per ton at the works.
The demand is dull, and stocks are &c
cumulating.
The price of American stocks IS look
ing up. The determination OF the
.drab colored Pennsylvanians' to shame
their traducers, has produced this I'M
proved feeling which exists in the
Bourse of Paris as well as London.
In Parliament little of general inter
est had transpired.

evidently growing yet worse. The

STATE or CAvAN.-Haying devoted
an article elsewhere to the considera-

ON COPPER COIN.

Ed. HERALD,-Sir am glad to learn that
cents are coming into fashion amongst us,-
They are now found every where in Ohio
where strong prejudice once existed against
ihem-aiso in Michigan. They have for a
long time been current in Chicago--and have
found their way into Milwaukee and all the
eastern towns Ct this territory and are not
uncommon 10 Galena. Ia fact they have so
much brass in them, that, like lawyers, wher-
ever there is business they will thrust them
selves in. Undoubtedly the more extended,
various, and complicated trade becomes. the
greater is the necessity for exactness in deal
ing-and for coin representing small values
10 the city Of New York there is retail BUSH
ness done wholly in copper currency, every
day, to he extent of thousands of dollars
Nuts, raisins. apples. oranges, matches. pipes,
and thousand other commodities Of small
values, require copper coin to represent these
small values. lnconvenien, cuuencies are
badges Of barbarism. The Barbarian com.
mences trade in barter. He gives so many
skins for a rife. The bear skin and coon skin
currency, at lesg,h gives way to some more
convenient representative of value. The Ar
naun. in ribbons, gets ashamed of sending the
"gals " to the store to do their shopping, with
pack of coon skins and bear skins. He con-
lrives to buy some dollars with his furs-and
no gal is ashamed to spend silver dollar
As the country grows older, wealIhier and more
civilized, The sqnatler's wants increase. He
lays aside his finder box for matches. He
wants pearl buttons on his shirt collars-and
has learned that shaving soap is better to shave
with than soft soap. The girls want pins and
ribbons, and the boys want fnery. The arli-
Gle wanted may not be worth three cents--yet
il has become a want. When the squatter
settles bill at the store, the merchant, for
wan, OF copper change, always contrlves to
rob HIN OF TWO ana a ndif cents. If he wants
box Of matches, and sends his boy TO the
store TO buy them, they are booked at six and
fourth cents-.hough worth but single cop
per;-for the merchant recognizes no smaller
coin and no smaller price Than picayune.--
This species of small robbery soon enriches
the merchant-but his customers will at length
find, that il is easier to pay once for an article
than sir times-even if the merchant has to
pay tho odd change in red ccppers. Exact
ness Of dealing, honesty. convenience, the
GREAT increase of luxury and of artificial wants
amongst US in the mines. and the necessity for
coin of smaller value to facilitate exchanges,
ought no,o, and must soon, wear away the
vulgar prejudice too much encouraged by mer-
chants and money dealers, against
