It has recently been found that gold of the quality of twelve carats less, if aoyed with zinc instead Of the proper quantity of silver presents a color very nearly equal to that of a metal at least two and half or three carats higher, of ss. or I0s an ounce more value; and the consequence has been that large quantity of jewelry has been made of gold alloyed in this manner aud the same has been purchased by some shopkeepers, very much to their own loss, as well that of the public, nsomuch as galvanic action is produced, after time, upon gold so alloyed, by means of which the metal is split into several pieces, and the article rendered perfectly useless.

 There Is nothing more necessary than supert|ui- ties, nor more useful than pleasure
 Men of genius say things the least foolish and do things the most foolish In the world.
 A sensible man docs not seek consolation--he seeks forgeifulness
 Mankind make parade of their sorrows as they do of new coat.
 Keep your heart always ready for mister tune.
 Women never pardon man for losing an oppor- tunity of loving them.

Dr. graeiousiy re- ceived the committee. but respectfully declined the proposal, urging chief objection that the salary though liberal for the parish which they represen- ted would be inadequate for his expenses he having a considerable family of srnul children to educate and provide for. One of the committee replied. "The Lord will take care of them he has promised to hear the young ravens when they cry, and to provide for thom."

the mischief of leaving tho people elsewhere to infer
that dssenson and division exist where unanimity
ought to prevail am curious to know what is the real
object of tho movement Is it to smooth down the
wrinked shirt tail Of the Wilmot proviso Ia to show
that certain protested friends of the administration who
enjoy high Offices, and claim its confidence, really do
serve and that their secret and open opposition to any

Such things have been As politicians whose
keep what they have and get what they can it would
not surprise some should endeovor to deceive
the administration to believe them friends while stab

their chances with the next administration.
That another meeting should be called the heels Of
the immense gathering at Vauxhathat should have
