LAMENT OF A LONE WOMAN.

A CLONE woman in Cincinnati was lamenting
the departure Of her loving spouse to ''parts moi
exactly unknown," but next door to it, 10 a crony
the other day, in the following strain:
''NNhen the war broke out my old man went to
Mexico; he got back safe from that heat with his
eighty acres Of land gin him by ole Gueral Taylor
that's President; he's drunk up the whole ont an
when the gold fever broke out he started for Cali
forney, and left to support the childer by wash
in for livin.' They say the coery's broke out
'mong the Californicators, end the next thing
expect III hear is that my old mans gone to a
hotter climate than 'ither Mexico or Californey,
but spose must be resigned" And the poor
confding creature blubbered cut in Hood Of tears
as she rubbed the wash board as if the being, in
stead of cherishing and protecting her as he had
sworn before God and man to do, had always done
the clean thing by her instead ofgoing on an ever
lasting spree by himself, and leaving his better
half,o support their mutual ofsgring

PREMATURE BURIALs.-We are assured that
the following is true in every particular: A poor
man residing in the upper part of the city, left
home at the usual hour some days since, to per-
form his daily labor, and on returning in the after
noon. found that his wife had been seized with the
cholera during the afternoon and conveyed to the
Hospital in 18th street. He Immediately went
there, and as he entered the place, six ceins were
carried Quito be conveyed toPottersssEield. A'he
poor fellow prodeeded to the room and enqured for
his wife, when he was informed that she was
dead and that one of the collins he had passed con
tanned her body, but which Of them they could
not tell, as no marks are placed upon them to dis
tinguish one from the other. The man in an
agony Of grief started in pursuit of the convey
ance, and accompanied it ,o.Potter's Field, when
he pleaded SO hard to be permitted to look once
more upon the face of his wife, that the permission
was given, and the collins were opened hen
the body of the woman was exposed, he seized it
frantically in his arms, and pressed it fondly to
his bosom. For moment he tancled he felt the
beating of her heart, and seizlng her wrist, he ex
claimed, '.My God, she livesp' AT that moment
the woman opened her eyes and recognized her
husband ;she was conveyed home, and is now quite
recovered. If this be tue, and Our informant af-
firms that it s--what frghtiul reflection ii con
jures up, that others bearing only the semblance of
death, have been premalurely hurried to the grave!

WONDERS OF NATuRE.-The petals of flowers
do not owe their beauty to the color that paints
them, for that when drawn off, is dali and dead !;
neither do they their brilliant tints to the skin
that covers them. Their lovely appearance is de-
rived chiefly from the bubbles of water which com
pose their pabulum. Receiving the SUMS rays,
they are enllvened and Frightened by reflection and
refraclion from those drops Of water, and from that
spot or poin. otlight being seen in every bubble,
and striking to the focus underneath. By these

EARLY TMpREssIoNs.-The name Of Voltaire
will live while genius is respected and vice alb
horred. His hatred Of the Divine Redeemer was
equalled only by his wickedness. He placed up
pom his seal the motto 'sCrush the wretch" 1t
was his boast that it took twelve men to write up
the Christian religion, and he could prove that one
could write 1t down. 1t was not generally known
at now early an age the seeds were sown that
rpened into such a pernicious harvest. At the
age of five years he committed to memory an in
fdeI poem-its influence upon him was never lost
1t led him to employ splendid talents of warning
with the best good of his race, and to waste the
energies Of brilliant mind in reviling the truth Of
God. 1t earned for him life Of infamy, death
without hope and an eternity Of despair.

SALT Let US consider for a few moments,
the great blessing which salt has been to man
kind--net merely in the zest which it gives to
the greatest delicacies and to the coarsest diet
but also from the various wonderful properties
which it possesses and which have caused its
application to an extent almost improbable. Its
antiseptic properties are such, and it has been
SO successfully applied to provisions that meat,
butter, and all that without it would be most
perishable, are sent to all quarters OF the globe
in a state Of a complete preservation; from its
antiseptic and resolvent properties ii is OF I'M
speakable value in medicine, into which it en-
ters largely and its internal and external use
is considerable. The farmer also reaps conside-
rable benefit from its use; he now finds that the
worms and gnats, so injurious to his crops, are
quickly destroyedby salt; and that is the most
efectuaI remedy which can be used TO esadicate
thstles from the ground its use as a manure is
we'll ascertained, it has been long known as
such to the inhabitants on the coast of Hindostan
and China, who use no other than the sea water,
with which they sprinkle their rice-felds in the
INTERIOR they sprinkle the land before it is TILED
with salt--a practice which has always been fol-
lowed by the most beneficial results. Cattle
have been found to thrive so well by salts being
mixed with their feed, that sailing of hay has

Coon HINTs.-On the subject of behavior,
Leigh Richmond gives the following excellent adj
vice to his daughters:
s'Be cheerful, not gigglers. Be serious but
not dull. Be communicative, but not forward
Be kind, but not servile. Beware of silly thought
less speeches although You may forget them,
Others will not Remember Gods eye is every
place, and his ear in every company. Beware
of levity and familiarity with young men a
modest reserve, withent affectation, is the only
safe path. Court and encourage serious CONVEX
sation with those who are truly serious and
conversible and do not go into valuable COM
pany without endeavoring to improve by the in
tercourse permitted to you. Nothing Is more
unbecoming, when part ola company is engaged
in profitable and interesting conversation, than
