the Union, but late the official journal of Mr..

the central organ of great party, are continual

It is a sad but instructive thought that we live
in world of change. From the cradle to the grave
the evidences of this painful truth ever impress
sing themselves on the mind Of all the varied OBJ
jects that twine themselves round our hearts in
youth, how few of our precious hopes are not
wrecked and borne away on the restles wing of
changed! Yet, sad as are the other effects of
change, it contains in its full quiver
keen and deadly than the rest When he whom
we have cherished as 'our hearts core, aye in our
heart of hearts" meets us with cold and averted
gaze-when the eye that used to beam on us with
tender and mellow lustre, no longer returns our
glances and the face of him that was dearest to
wears ''the look of stranger''-then has change
done its worst work for us and we may smile at its
further visitations. it is hard to loose our friends
by separation-and yet more painful and solemn is
it. to lose them by death; but still we lose them
friends-we lose them while affection is reciprocal!
and as our spirits may still commngle, their MEM
ory is pleasant though mournful to the soul" But
when the being we love lives, and is estranged,
"there is,' as one has truly said, ga gap between
us, deep and wide, which we can neither fill up
nor cross over. Then the past is dessolaton, the
present is bitterness, the future is blank and the
only iodyne the crushed heart can hope to find, is
time and the lethargy of forgetfulness.

A GREEK FUNERAL.

remember when they buried that bright eyed
Greek maiden, snatched suddenly from earth. her
young heart was light as her face was fair. They
arrayed her. rigid and motionless, in the gay dress
she had never worn but for some great fete gala,
as though this more than any, were day of re-
joicing for her, and thus attired, with her long
hair spread out over her still bosom, all decked
with flowers they laid her uncofned in the grave.
At her feet they placed small flask of wine and a
basket of corn in accordance with an ancient Greek
superstition which supposes that for three days and
nights the disembodied spirit fingers mournfuly
round its tenement of clay the garment of its NOR
tality, wherein as pilgrim and a stranger on the
earth, it lived and loved, it sinned and suffered
As soon as the first symptoms of decay announce
that the of corruption is at work. they believe
that the purer essence departs to purer realms
Before the grave was closed, whilst for the last
time the radiance of the sunset cast glow, like the
mockery of life, over the marble face of the poor
young girl, her friends last precaution, took
measures to ascertain that she actually dead
and not in swoon. The means they always take
in suchinstances to ascertain fact which elsewhere
would be insured by doctors certificate, touch
ing in the extreme; the person whom whilst alive,
| it was known the deceased loved the best, the
mother, or it may be the young betrothed who had
hoped to place on her head the gay and bridal
crown, instead of the laurel garland of death, ad
vances and calls her by name, repeating after it the
word @ella'' (come several times, in tone of the
most passionate entreaty. If she is mute to this
appeal if she is dead to the voice dearest to her
earth, then they no longer doubt that she is dead
indeed; they up the grave, lift their eyes tc
the heaven where they believe her to be-for the
Greeks do not hold to the doctrine of purgatory
and having made the sign of the cross, they depart
in silence to their homes. But year after on an
niversary of the death, they return to the grave
and kneeling down, lay their lips to the sod, and
whisper to the silent tenant that they love her still
and she is yet remembered and regretted.

coNcIENcE.

Never did any man long forsake the straight and
upright path without having cause to repent of it.
Whether it be pleasure, or interest, or ambition,
that leads him astray, he is always made to pay
dear for any supposed advantage he gains. Wa
rily and cautiously he may at first set out and lay
many restraints on himself against proceeding too
far. But having once forsaken conscience as his
guide, his passions and inclinations soon take the
lead of his conduct and push him forward rashly
One bad step betrays him into another, till, in the
end, he is oyertaken if not by poverty and disease
at least by dshoner and shame by the loss of
friends and the forfeiture of respect and general
esteem.

PROFITS OF PLANK ROADS.

The ten miles of the Milan and MonroevilIe plank
road yielded, for the month of december last.
$317 ~, net over the cost of collection and repairs
The cost of the ten miles was $16,650; the net

SPIRIT OF PRAYER.

Prayer is not smooth expression nor a well con-
trived form of words; not the product of a ready
memory, of rich invention exerting itself IN the
performance These may draw neat picture oft
but still the life is wanting The motion of the
heart God-wards, holy and divine affection makes
prayer real and lively and acceptable to the living
God. to whom it is presented. The pouring out of
the heart to him that made it. and therefore hears
it aud understands what it speaks, and how it is
moved and affected in calling on him. It's not the
giIded paper and good writing of a petition that
prevails with king but the moving sense of it
And to that king who discerns the heart, heart
sense it the sense of ALL and that which only he
regards He listens to hear what speaks and takes
all as nothing where that is silent. All other ex=
cellence in prayer is but the outside and fashion of
it; this is the life of it, Leighton.

B The following beautiful lines are truly and physio
ogicully appropriate:
PURE AIR.
Throw open your window, and fasten it there!
Fling the curtain aside and the blind,
And give a pure entrance TO Heavens pure air
IT'S the life and the health of mankind.
Are you fond of coughs colds, dyspepsia and rheums?
OF head aches, aud fevers, and chils?
OF bitters, hot drops, and fumes?
And bleedings and blisters, and pills?
Then shut yourself up like monk in his cave,
Till nature grows weary and sad,
And imagine yourself on the brink Of the grave,
Where nothing is cheerful and glad.
Be sure, when you sleep, all air is shut out;
Place, too, warm brick at your feet,
Wrap bandage of flannel your neck quick about,
And cover your head with sheet.
But would you avoid the dark gloom OF disease?
Then haste to the fresh open air,
Where your cheek may kindly be fAnd by its breeze,
Twill make you well, happy and fair.
o, prize not this lightly, SO precious thing,
'Tis laden with gladness and wealth,
The richest Of blessings that heaven can bring,
The bright panacea of health.
Then open the window, and fasten it there!
Fling the enstsin aside, and the blind,
And give free entrance to Heavens pure air,
'Tis the light, life and joy of mankind.

LEAD AND SILVER ORES IN VIRGINIA.
We clip the following paragraphs from the Rich
mond Wing:
The LEAD Oar IN NELsoN-The following facts
relative to this discovery have been communicated
to us. The mine was first discovered on tract Of
land purchased by Mr.. VIM Faber, on the edge
of the Albemarle line, and 8 miles from the James
River canal The lead lies four feet below the
surface, and the vein is four feet and half Widei
being at least foot wider than any other known to
the world It has already been traced four miles,
and the probability is that it extends the whole
length of the State upon that line Of longitude
The yield is enormous, being eighty per cent of
pure lead and two of silver The owner has ape
piled to the legislature for acharter. 5
R1oH ORKsl Col Perrow, the. delegate from
Nelson, has left at this Office several remarkable
specimens of lead and silver ore, found IN the coun
ty which he represents. He says there is plenty
q more of the same sort . left where that comes
from. We wish somebody would analyze it IN or
der that we might form some conception Of the
yield We are sure that Of the lead would not be
less than fifty per cent

FROM CHINA.

A friend has handed us a letter by the steamer
dated Boca Tigrs, Canton River, November 25,
1s48, from which we learn that the United States
ships Plymouth ard Preble were at that place at
that date. The Preble was expected to reach
the Uuited States by June next The officers and
crews of both ships were all well. Both vessels
would sail for Manila on or about December 1st to
be absent one month. The gates of Canton scsH
not be opened for the admission Of foreigners on
the 9th of April next as per treaty between Great
Britain and China A serious difficulty is appre-
hended if the British authorities persist in deman-
ding the ful6nn1ent Of the article. Bos. T'rGr.

NUMBER 2.
PROCESS OF COMING GOLD.

The process of coming gold is very accuratively,
yet succinctly described in letter to the Boston
Post From it the following description is con-
densed:
The minors have to grind the gold rock fine,
keeping it wet constantly, and, as it becomes fine
it washes off They have q hard kind Of stone for
grinding They then mix quicksilver with it and
that collects the gold dust It is washed out
dried and then goes through some kind Of heat
ing The gold dust is then usually sold to the SUI
perintendent of the mint. To find the value each
parcel has to be assayed The assaying is the most
curious and scientific of all the business in the mint
The meltars take the gold dust melt it. and cast it
into ban, when it is weighed accurately. and
piece is cut off for the assayer He takes it nelts
it with twice its weight in lead It is melted with
some small cups made of bone ashes which absorb
all the lead when large part of the silver is ex
tracted by another process and the sample is then
rolled out to thin shaving coiled up. and put in
sort of glass phia called matrass along with some
nitric acid The mattresses are put on furnace,
and the acid is boiled some time, poured oH, new
supply put in, and boiled again. This is done Sc
vera times till the acid has extracted all the sver,
and other mineral substances leaving the sample
puregold. The sample is then weighed, and by
the difference between the weight before assayed
and after, the true value is found The gold, af-
ter it has been assayed, is melted refined and mix
ed with its due portions of alloy, lequal parts of
silver and copper) then drawn into long stripes, IN
shape not unlike an iron hoop for acask, the round
pieces cut out with a sort Of punch, each piece
weighed and brought to the right side by file, if
too heavy, when it IS milled on the edges raised,
and put into a stamping press, whence it comes
forth perfect coin bearing the endorsement of

BENED1cr ARNoLD.-The following anecdote
apty illustrates the detestaton in which treachery
is. held by all mankind Even those to whom the
traitor Arnold sacrificed his honor and fame turned
upon him with the bitterest maleyolenee. How
full of wisdom is the lesson:
On the I'd of July, 1892, Lord Lauderdale, at
tended by Charles Fox Esq, met Benedict Arnold
near London, attended by Lord Hawk Lord Lau-
derdale received Arnold's fire unhurt and refused
to return it On being asked why he. did not. he
replied, al leave him for the executioner.' The
seconds retired for few moments, and said that
Lord L. must fire at Gen. Arnold, or retract the ex-
preston he had used. The nobleman replied that
''he did not come out to fire at Arnold, and if he
(Arnoldl was not satisfied he might fire at him till
he was'' The cause of the quarrel was this: A
gentleman was about to introduce Lord Lauderdale
to Gen. Arnold when the former exclaimed, "what
the traitor, Anold?"

SCENE ON THE OH1o.-Our boat stopped to take
in wood. On shore among the crowd, stood a re
markable stupid looking fellow, with his hands in
his pockets and his under lip hanging down. A
dandy, ripe for scrape tipped mods and winks all
about saying:
"Now III have some fun, I'll frighten that green
horn.''
He jumped ashore with drawn bowie knife
brandishing it in the face of the green 'un, ex-
claiming
"NoW I'll punish you. I have been looking for
you week.
The fellow suddenly started at his assailant. He
evidently had not sense enough to be scared-but
as the bowie knife came near his face, one OF nj:
huge fists suddenly vacated his pocket fell solid and
heavy between the dandy's eyes, and the poor fel
low was foundering in the river Greeny jumped

THE KING OF THE ARTIc OCEAN.

The following copied from the Honolulu Friend
for November last, will remind many readers of J..
N. Reynolds capital whaling story-published sew
eral years ago-of the pursuit and capture of Mo
cha Dick, monstrous, old, white-headed whale,
well known to the Poetic whalemen;
"Oh! the rare old whale, mid storm and gale,
In his ocean home will be;
A giant in might, where might is right,
And king of the boundless sea-
Captain Roys, of the Superior, makes report
which is confirmed by his ships company, that
while cruising in the Artic Ocean. they discovered
a huge whale, which they were confident was toe
large for them to "cut in' with vessel of the size
of the Superior All agree in asserting that it was
the largest whale they saw, and if it had been
taken must have yielded more than 800 barrels OF
oil 1t was not through fear for themselves, but
the "whalng gear of the vessel, that they allowed
the king of the Artic Ocean quietly to hold on his
wayi His kingship may congratulate himself upor
his good fortune, if he escapes another season!
IA wondrous ta,e could the rare old whale
Of the mighty deep disclose,
| Of the skeleton forms of by-gone storms,
| And of the treasures that no one knows.
Oh! the whale is free, of the boundless sea,
He lives for thousand years;
He sinks to rest on the pillows breast,
Nor the toughest tempest fears
The bowling blast as it hurries past
Is music to lull him to sleep;
And he scatters the spray in his boisterous play,
AS he dashes-the king of the deep"
