The Board Of RerentS.


The American Peace Society has issued the
following Address to the pre- lent
10 his EerreYnncy JAMES X. Polk, Presi-
dent Of The TliteI St7'es:
SiR-Rrccnt discussions in the Parliament of
Great Britain disclose the fact. that her Govern
ment has rendered to our own the offer Of her
meditation in adjusting our present difficulties
with Mexico; and, as citizens Of this Republic,
and friends of the whole humon race. we beg
leave very respectfully yet most earnestly 10 re-
quest that YOU will on our part accept tins gen-
erous proposal, and meanwhile suspend all hos
tile operations against Mexico. 10 give tHr
trial to this overture for terminating The is
putc> between Us without any further eiiIslon OF
blood.
We think. Sir. that all good men will cordial
IL unite with us in this re quest. Oar Govern
mnn' has from the first declared that the only
object of this war is to secure speedy equl-
table peace--tnd every one must see, that the
method here proposed i, far more likely than the
blind and brutal arbitramcnt of the sword, 10
insure evenhanded justice and give permanent
satisfaction 10 both parties. Even the law OF
nltionS requires. that war shall never be resorted
to until al other means of securing Justice have
been honestly tried in vain, and shall cease
whenever that object can bc acquired by peace
tu methods. Such method, contc-sedly bet
ter for this purpose than any exchange OF shots
and -,ab> ON the field OF battle i now offered to
us nor do we see how it will be possible to
Justify ourselves before the bar OF God or the
world if we decline this fair and honorable OF
fer. and still persist in a war of invasion and
vengeance against sister Republic whose mis-
fortunes claim rather our torbcarance, symp-
thy and kind Offices.
1t seems to us, Sir, that the general interests
of humanity demand our acceptance OF TINS OIL
fer from Great Britain. We have, in The pres
on, imnerlcct state even of the civilized world
no means of ayering or arre-iing war except
nnuotialun. reference or mediation; and, It we
snnrn or neglect these. we do all that our exam

THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS.
by HENRY W. LoNGFELLow.

by HENRY W LoNGFELLow.
There is n reaper. whose name is Death
And, with his sickle keen,
He reaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between.
Shall have nough, that is fair = saith he's
=" Have nouaht but the bearded grain
Though the breath of these flowers is sweet TO me
will give them all back again"
He gazcd at the flowers with fearful eyes:
he kissed their dropping leaves,
I, WIS for the Lord OF Paradise
lie bound them in his shcaycs.
" Ny Lord has need Of these ilowcrcts gay
The reaper said. and smiled,
Dear tokens of the earth they,
Where He was once child
"Thcv shall all bloom in fields of light,
Tmnsplantrd by my care,
And saints. upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tears and pam,
The flowers she most did love,
She knew she would find them all again,
In the fields OF light, above.
O. no, in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day
Twas nm angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers away.

Effects of Suiphate of Iron on Vegetation

The journal d Horticulture Pratique asserts
that a tree, of which the wood is tender, poor
and sickly, to whicha strong solution of sui
phate of iron should be applied, rcvives and puts
forth an extraordinary vegetation. This dis
solution of suphate Of which NJ. Paquet has
made successful applications this summer,
should be given in and with the water, when
the plants or trees are watered, 80 that the roots
may more readily absorb the chemical agencies
which reanimate the vital forces of the tree,

season:
