Dcclivity Of Rivers.

A very slight declvity suffices to give
the running motion to water. Three in
ches per mile in south strait channel,
gives velocity of about three miles an
hour. The Ganges, which gathers the
waters of the Himelaya mountains, the
loftiest in the world, is, at 1900 miles
from its mouth, only 500 feet above the
level of the sea-that is, about twice the
height of ST. PauPs church in London,
or the height of Arihur's Seat near Ed
inburgh, and TO fall these 500 feet, in its
long course, the water requires more than
a month. The great river Magdalena,
in South America, running for 1000
miles, between two ridges Of the Andes,
falls only 600 feet in all that distance
Above the commencement of the thou
sand miles, it is seen descending in rap
ids and cataracts from the mountains
The Rio de la Plata has SO gentle des.
cent 10 the ocean, that in Paraguay, 1900
miles from its mouth, large ships are
seen that have sailed against the current
all the way by force of the wind alone;
tina. is to say, on the beautifully inclined
plain of the stream, have been gradually
lifted by the soft wind, and even against
the current, to an elevation greater than
that of the loftiest spires.-.ArnoH's 5

NewsDaDers.

Among the many advantages of news
papers, that of saving time is not the
least. One man Of business enquiries
of another, "What's the news!" s.Noth-
ing but what you see in the papers," is
the reply, and without spending more
time on the gossip Of the day, they are
ready to proceed TO business. A friend
enters the counting room of business
man pray where is the best place to
purchase goods?" "Where shall / go to
get this work done?" "Just take seat,
sir, and | will hand you the paper, where
you will find the advertisement of our
prominent and energetic business men.
They are the men who advertise, and
they are the men who can afford to give
you good bargains, and they are the
persons who will be most likely to have
the articles you want" This said
and done, the man of business is at lib
erty TO assume his vocation.

Management Of Animals.
In breaking or managing a horse, h,

In breaking or managing horse, how
ever intractsble or stubborn his temper
may be, preserve your own. Almost
every fault of the brute arises from ig-
norance. Be patient with him, teach
and coax him, and success, in time, is
certain. There are tricks, however,
which are the results Of confirmed habit
or viciousness, and these sometimes re-
quire different treatment. A horse ac-
customed TO starting and running away,
may be effectually cured by putting him
TO the top of his speed on such occasions,
and running him till pretty thoroughly
exhausted.
A horse that had trick of pulling at
his bride and breaking it, was at last re-
duced to better habits, by tying him ii ght-
ly TO stake driven on the bank of
deep stream. With his tail pointing to
the water, he commenced pulling at the
halter, which suddenly parting, over the
bank he tumbled, and aftei sumerset
or two, and houndering while in the
water he was satisfied TO remain at his
posti in future, and break no more brides.
A ram has been cured Of butling at
everything and everybody, by placing
an unrcsisling elligy in a similar posi-
tion; when the sudden assault on win
try day resulted in tumbling his ramshlp
into cold bath, which his improved
manners took good care to avoid in fu-
lure.
A sheep killing dog has been made
too much ashamed ever again to look a
sheep in the face, by tying his hind legs
to Stout ram, on the brow of hill,
while the flock we're quietly feeding at
the bottom. On being set free, and
somewhat startled at setting out, in his
haste to rejoin his friends, he tumbled
and thumped master Tray SO sadly over
the stones and gullies, that he was quite
satisfied to confne himself to cooked
mutton thereafter.
Mans reason was given 10 him to con.
troll '.the beasts of the field and the birds
Of the arr" by other means than brute
force. lf he will bring this into play,
he will have no difficulty in meeting and
overcoming every emergency of perverse
intellect or bad habits in the dumb thing,
by his superior cunning.-Er.

A Witty REToRT-We were not a
little amused by The reply of lady re-
Gently on a western steamer 10 one who
sought laugh at her expense. A group
Of ladies were seated on one of the
guards Of steamer ploughing her way
down the Mississippi. around one Of the
numerous bends, just where the penal
establishment OF one of the States occu-
pies prominent position on the point,
and is seen both in front and rear on op-
poside sides Of the point. After roun-
ding the point, one Of the ladies, poin-
ting to the noble pile, inquired what j,
was.
"That is lhe--penitentiary," replied
her companion.
'.lndeed!" continued the first speaker,
why, that is the place we have just come
from"-alluding to having seen j, before,
'.Is it possible!" remarked a gentle
man, sitting near, but not one of the par
ty. "May / ask what you were in for!'
.'For eaues-droppingr promptly re-
sponded the lady, ..and meddling with
our neighbours business!'
The gentleman, fortunately, at that
moment heard the invitation to ''step TO
the captains Office and set t-l-e," which

The Baltimore Patriot says the loco
foco politicians of Pennsylvania appear
to be at loggerheads about their Canal
Commissioner, lately nominated at Will
Transport. One faction of the party at
tempted to fasten the charge of bribery
and corruption upon the other, in trying
to buy some of the delegates to vote for
a particular candidate. The Cameron
faction have now turned the tables upon
their assailants and are making soC.e
startling Developments.
Joseph Filler and Hiram Lentz. the
delegates from the county of Bedford
to the late state convention, depose and
say that Israel Painter, one of the canal
commissioners of Pennsylvania, had Of
ferred each of said deponents an appoint
ment worth two dollars per day on the
Portage Railroad, if they would leave
Hubley and vote for Strickland.
Our readers will agree with us that
the Williamsport convention must have
been rare gathering, and beautiful
specimen Of locofoco politicians.

The Way TO be Happy.

A good story is told Of two travellers
in Lapland, which throws more light on
the art of being happy than whole VOL
ume of precepts and aphorisms. Upon
very cold dav in the winter, they were
driving along in sledge, wrapt up from
head to foot in furs. Even their faces
were mostly covered, and you could see
hardly anything but their eyebrows; and
these were white and glistening with
frost. AT length they saw poor man,
who had sunk down, benumbcd and fro
zen in the snow. We must stop and
help him. said one Of The travellers
Stop and help him. replied the other;
you will never think of stopping on
such Gay as this! We are half frozen
ourselves, and ought 10 be at our Jour-
ney's end as soon as possible But |
cannot leave this man to PERISH rejoin-
ed the more humane traveller, i must go
to bis relief and he stopped his sledge.
Come said he, come help me to rouse
him. Not |, replied the other: L have
too much regard for my own life to ex-
pose myself to this freezing atmosphere
more than is necessary. l will sit here
and keep myself as warm as | can till
you come back So saying, he reso-
lutely kept his seat, while his compan-
ion FASTENED to the relief of the perish
ing man, whom they had so providenti-
ally discovered. The ordinary means
for restoring consciousness and activity
were tried with complete success. But
the kind hearted traveller was so intent
upon saving the life of fellow creature
that he had forgotten his own exposure,
and what was the consequence? Why,
the effor! which he made to warm the
stranger, warmed himself! and thus he
had two-fold reward. He had sweet
consciousness of doing benevolent act,
and he also found himself glowing from
head to foot, by reason of the exertion he
had made. And how was it with his
companion who had been so much afraid
Of exposing himself! He was almost
ready 10 freeze, notwi.hsls ndIng the ef-
forts he had been making to keep warm.
The lesson derived from this little in
cident is very obvious. We are travel
ers 10 distant country. At every step
Of our journey we find other travellers
who need our friendly aid. Nay, God
has brought them around our path in
great numbers; and as far as the eye can
reach, we see their dense and gloomy
ranks. Now there are two ways OF
meeting these objects Of sympathy aud
broiherly regard. We can 60 forward
with the stern purpose of selfish and
unloving spirit saying in reply to every
appeal that is addressed to our better feel
ing:-..Depart in peace be ye warmed
and filled;" or we can say with the warm
hearted traveller 81 cannot see this man
perish: must haste to his relief. Aud
the rule which we adopt for our guild
ance in such cases, will determine the
question, whether we are to be happy or
unhappy. The man who lives only for
himself, cannot be happy: God does
not smile upon him; and conscience will
give him no peace. But he who forgeis
himself in his desire to do good, not on,
ly becomes blessing to others, but
opens perpetual fountain OF JOY in his
own bosom.

A New Kind Of Cheese.

An esteemed friend, in whose receipts
we have great confidence has kindly
furnished us with the following method
of making good cheese:
Boil good white potatoes, and when
cold, peel and mash them till not lump
remains. TO five pounds thus prepared
add pint and half of sour milk; and
as much salt as may be deemed necessary
to season the mess. Having worked it
well, let it be covered, from two to four
days according 10 the state Of the wealth
er; then work again, make the chez se
the size you like and then let them dry
in the shade. After they have become
sufficiently dry, place them in pots or
pans, and let them remain a fortnight or
month. In this way cheese of most
excellent qualify may be made. and wha,
is of no small consequence, il can be
kept for years without the least deterior-
atlon from the effects of shippers, pro-
vided il can be kept dry. A friend who
has had the pleasure Of eating cheese
prepared in this manner. speaks Of it in
the highest terms. ms.--lMains Farmer.
