FRIENDSHIPS TONES.

"Thcrc is nothing in this wide world like the voice
ola spirit."-GRAY.
How light word in friendships can make the
feelings flow;
How light act, when understood can make the bosom
glow.
word, BREATH an act smile, arc full of graceful
guile;
And 10! a paradise unlolds, and summer sunbcams
smile.
The graceful laugh that foams along the brooklcts
silvery way,
The gorgeous blush that dwells around soft fashions
bright array;
these soft CHANGING eyes and round ouccplv
form,
Aud still they had magic like that murmur true and
saw smilc o, swcc,ly meath the melancholy
moon;
her in spcndor through the golden hours of
Her coral lips and witchng eyes their Establishments
unfold;
And yet these woke feelings like that word in friend
ship told.
Her sunny brow and lovely grace might make poet
dream,
And give the of his soul high and lorcr CLEAN
OF kindly words drop from her heart, like blossoms
from their stems.
That tone is like the evening dew that falls from star
From heart heart it wildly steals and consccrates
the hour.
Ills like the song of dreaming birds, that wake amid
their lay,
And marvel the gush of song swcctly sing away

TIE WHEAT CROP

We regret to hear that the Wheat fields along
the Valley Of James River present very unprom,
Islng aspect. The season has been very unpropiti-
ous and the ravagcs Of the Fly are said to be unpre
ccdentedly destructive. On the highlands the pros.
Pect is even more gloomy. An unusually short crop

TAKING IT EASY.

"When a stranger treats me with want of res
Pect," said popular philosopher, 81 comfort myself
with the reflection that it is not myself that he
sights, but my old and shabby coat and shabby hat
which, TO say the truth, have no particular claim to
alteration. SO if my hat and coat choose to fret
about il, let them; but it is nothing to me-" This
philosopher, with all his poverty, was rich in wis
dom.

THE TONGJIE

1here are but ten precepts Of the law of God,
says Leighton, and two of them 50 far as concerns
the outward organ and vent of the sins there forbid
den are bestowed on the tongue; one in the first TIA
Bile, and the other in the second-as though it were
ready to fly out both against God and man if not
thus bridled.
Pythagoras used TO say that wound from the
tongue is worse than wound from the sword, for
the latter affects only the body, the former the spr-
1.-THE SOUL
1t was remark Of Anacharsis, that the tongue
was at the same time the best part of man and his
worst; that with good government none is more
useful, and without it, none more mischievous
Boerhave, says DR.. johnson, was never soured
by calumny and deiraction nor ever thought it ne
cessary to coniute them 'for," said he, ssthey are
sparks, which. if You do not blow them, will 90
out of themselves
We cannot says Cato control the evil tongues of
others, Int a god life enables us to despise them.
SANDER, says Lacon, cannot make the subjects of
1t either better or worse. Ii may represent us in
false light, or place likeness of ms in bad one
But we are the same. Not so the sanderer; the
SANDER that he uters make him worse the SANDER
CIR never.
No one, says Jerome, loves TO tell tale of scan
dial except to him who loves to hear it, Learn then
to rebuke and check the detractng tongue, by show
ing that you do not listen to it with pleasure.

This, if we rightly remember, is the inscription
upon sun dial in Italy. 1t inculcates q beautiful
lesson which too many are prone to disregard! 1t
would teach us to remember the bright days of life
and not to forget the blessings God is giving u.s.
Life. 1t is true is not all bright and beautiful But
still 1t has lights well as shades, and it is nei-
ther wise nor grateful TO dwell too much upon the
darker portions Of the picture. He who looks upon
the bright side OF lile and makes the best of every
thing, will, we think other things being equal, be
better and happier man than those who, as Frank
lin says, care always looking at the ugly leg,'

most every thing they meet with

ALLIGATOR. OIL.

letter from St Augustine, dated April 18th,
says
81 suppose You may not have heard that we have
discovered the utility Of allgators. An alligator is
found to be as valuable i'll his way as spermacet
whale. An expedition has left this place for the
river St. Johns and the dark tributary stream Of
Black Creek swarming with these hldeour crea-
tures with the view Of killing them to obtain their
oil
The oil of the alligator is said to be better for
lamps than whale oil, and it is extracted from
the animal in considerable quantity and without any
great difficulty. For this discovery we are indebt-
ed to the Indians, who have been in the habit for
how long time know not, of extracting the oil
of the alligator and using it for various purposes
1t makes fine transparent fluid and burns admra-
bly,.
''fOu know how many of these enormous ami
mails are shot out of wantonness from the decks of
the steamboats, that plough our waters. | expect
hereafter to hear of laws passed for their protection
Every time an alligator Ct eighteen feet long is
shot in the long grass IF the river banks, or while
he Is swimming, barrel OF half barrel OF oil is
wasted This should not be. We must allow
them to be killed only at the proper season, when
they are latest, and not permit their destruction at
the season when they lay their eggs.

waters Of Lake Michigan at Chicago to

is to supply it with water, owing I'd the
level of the lake being eight feet below
the bottom of the canal. 10 overcome
this, the present company, after various
propositions, finally bethought themsel-
yes offaisipg the water ofthe lake o as
to supply the canal. phey wrote to
Messrs. Knapp & lotion ofthis city and
furnishes them with data to calculate
whether il could be done, and what force
and what machinery would accomplish it.
These gentlemen soon furnished an an
swer, and the other day received in return
an order TO build some powerful machine

and eight pumps Of four and half bore
