Survives the tomb and blooms forever Ad-
elaide Emery became an humble, consistent,
happy Christian. She expended her wealth
hegrd daily from the lips Of the grateful
poor.
But this world had happiness still in store
for her, as IL always has for the good. The
Christian has not only the promises of the
life 10 come. but Of this life also. The Rev.
Mr.. Northrop, who had greatly distinguished
himself by his usefulness in the East, and
whose praise was in all Syria among the
lovers of the Cross, returned, after three
years absence, for the purpose of purchasing
press and obtaining funds to establish
schools. 1t may be supposed that Edward.
who was living in elegant retirement rear
Aoston. was one of the first to welcome him.
He met also al the house of his brcther-in-
law. Miss Emery. between whom and Ed
ward had sprung a noble Christian friend,
ship out Of The wreck of their worldly love.
MIR. Northop was struck with the intelligence
and unaffected piety Of Adelaide and when
she spoke of the objects and subjects OF be-
nevolence around her. her eyes (for she had
fine eyes) lighted up, he thought her. not
outstanding the disfguring pit-marks on her
face. absolutely handsome. 1t was the
beauty Of her soul shining through her eyes.
He became deeply interested in her. and the
regard was mutual. A few days before he
was about to depart, he made her the offer
of his hand, which was accepted. They
were married, and Adelaide. as mission
ary's wife, accompanied him to Syria, and
became jealous co-worker with her hus-
band in the cause Of re-elevating man from
Earth to Heaven. With her great wealth
she was enabled to open and enter upon &
wide field Of usefulness, and to be mos
useful agent in the work of lovo while her
elevated and humble piety, and her faultnesl
example, threw around her halo Of beaut,
that no personal charms could compare with
that no accident of life could mar or tarnish

SOMETHING TO CREATE LAUGH.

the antique. But it is good one neverthe.

The anaconda. belonging to WEIGH & Cos

whole. DR.. B, a regular physician,
who was staying at the Neal house, was
called in. He prescribed dose or two of
calOmel, ETC., which relieved it considerably.
but did not effect complete cure. WEIGH,
who was preparing TO move about that
| time, promised the doctor that in case the
varmiut died, he would send II on to him, in
part payment for the trouble he had taken.
A week or so after this ii died, sure enough,
and having been nicely cOiled up in large
whlskey barrel, which was then filed IN
with spirits, it was then forwarded to The
doctor, who, not having time to attend to it,
Just then, had it deposited in the back room
Of the hotel, which was used as Sleeping
room by sundry stage drivers, &c.
Some Of these, having noticed the whiskey
stamp on The barrel, took the liberty of in
serting spigot in the side next the wall.
where it was not likely to be perceived, and
for week or two those who were in the
secret had jolly time of it whenever it was
their turn to stay over night at the hotel.
The time having arrived for the doctor to re-
turn home, he went in to overhaul his snake
ship, and was much surprised to fluid HIM
entirely out OF liquor and in an advanced
state OF decomposition. He said nothing,
but had him buried as quietly as possible.
The next morning, OH his way home, seat
ed on the stage box beside the driver, he, in
The course of conversation, related the suck

GREAT IMPROVEMENT IN IRON
MANUFACTURE.

A worthy citizen of this place, Mr.. Alex
ander Dickerson. has recently patented a
mode of melting iron ore. and producing
bIoomed iron which, in the judgment Of men
well informed on the subject, is an improve
ment Of the greatest importance, not only 10
manufacturers, but to society at large. Mr.
Dickerson's improvement consists IN COM
bining with closed forge 6re,a tight cham
Der with an opening at the top to fill in the
charge Of fuel and ore. The value aud inn
portance Of this simple invention will be
readily Appreciated. when we say, as we do.
on the most reliable authority, that Il saves
half the coal and half the time required by
the old method. and at the same time,
makes better article-and equal to the best
Russia or Swedes Iron. Ii ordinarily takes
from 300 to $50 bushels OF coal to make a
ton of Blooms and the old forgefire will
make three tons of FIRE per week, by working
day and night, without intermission.
The plan he introduced, it has been proved
by satisfactory experiment, would produce
double the amount in the same time, Of a
far better article. and at SAYING Of hslfthe
cost in fuel-which, when we take into ac-
count the total amount Of iron manufactured
in our country, would make au immense sa-

THE DOOMED ADMINISTRATION

We believe, since the foundation of the
government, there never has been an adj
minlstralion, among many foolish ones, which
was so obstinaiely bent on its own destruc-
llon as The one at present in power.
Mr.. Polk began his career with the silly
IDEA that ithe could but plunge the country
into war, he would moi only insure his own
reelection, but cover his name with glory in
future history. He forgot, however that
when he sent soldiers to the field, while they
were compelled from. their profession 10 do
the fighting Of the country they were likely
10 be remembered and rewarded by the peo-
pie rather than the man who sat quietly at
the White House, surrounded by his corrupt
aud servile followers. Thus. at the first sound
Of the battle. the country echoes the name oil
the hero oil Buena Vista as successor 10 the
honors ofihe Presidency. while the dynasty
at Washington are hated or despised by a
great proportion Of the party that has eleva-
ted them to power. The policy oil Mr., Polk,
in plunging the nation into war; produces at
the same time rival sufficient to overawe
the administration. In other words. the
President and Cabinet are their own destroy
ers.-N. Y. Express,

wing, beside furnishing better quality of
iron.-It requites but moments re1ect;on
to see that this improvement is, therefore !,
matter Of national consequence and general
congratuiation. The use of iron is becom.
ing every day more universal. Ii now enters
into great part of all the economical enter.
prises Of society. and this simple invention
by increasing the production and lesseuinp
the cost, eau scarcely fail greatly to extend
the use Of it-and that without dependence
upon precarious Tariff.
These startling statements are satisfactor
lily verified by the testimony Of one of the oil
dest and most respected iron-masteis in the
Union, Col Jackson Of Morris county, ant
his testimony is corroborated, if corrobora
ton be necessary. by Seth Boyden-a ma
chinIst and inventor, whose opinions OF
these subjects have the weight and au;horit,
Of demonstrations.-[N Newark ADV.

For the Galaxy,
COLD WATER VS., FEVERS.

MR. EDIToR.-While thousands arc be-
speaking the praises Of Cold Water, and es-
pecially of its efficiency as a remedial agent
for the promotion OF health, you will allow
me to make public through your invaluable
paper, an incident which fell under my OBJ
eervation, which is strikingly illustrative Of
the power of cold water 10 destroy fevers and
restore TO health.
A hog belonging 10 a neighbor Of mine
was taken sick and refused 10 eat-variour
dishes, such as new milk, butter milk, sc.
were prepared Tor the noble animal, but he
refused all sustenance, and continued 10 grow
worse for several days. He appeared TO have
high iever-in short he was burning up
with an inflammation, which seemed TO prevail
the entire length of the elementary canal.
The owner concluded TO turn him out OF his
stye and see what instinct would point out
as the remedy. The animal was now quite
weak and hardly able TO crawl from his
quarters. He succeeded, however, in ma
king his way 10 brook OF clear wafer, Here
he bathed his sides and drank very vorac-
iously.
He continued 10 slake his thirst and lie in
the wafer for about 4S hours when he ap-
peared TO be so much improved as TO take
food-in short he soon recovered and is now
alive and well ready TO attest TO the virtues
Of the water cure. The owner declared TO
me that cold wafer had saved the life ami
NAL. Querry-Wby did not the animal
kill himselfif wafer be not an antidote TO fe-
vsrs? The unerring dictates Of natural in
stinct painted out in this case, is The true
remedy Let mankind learn lesson from
the above incident. Indeed, let them obey
the scrptural precept, Wash and be healed
