The Dead.

How little do we think of the dead.
|Their bones lie entombed in all our towns
villages and neighborhoods. The lands
They cultivated, the houses they built, the
works of their hands are before us. We
travel the same road, walk the same path,
[sit at the same fire sides, sleep in the
same rooms, ride in the same carriage,
:and dine at the same table; yet seldom
remember that those that once occupied
|these places are now gone--alas! fol
lever!
Strange that the living should soon
forget the dead, when the world is full
sof the mementoes to their lives. Strange
that the fleeting cares of life should So
soon rush in and fill the breast to the ex-
yclusion of those SO near. To-day man
stands and weeps over the grave of his
departed friend; tomorrow he passes
that grave with cold indifference. To-
day his heart rung with the bitterness OF
anguish for the loss OF one he so much
loved; tomorrow, the image Of that friend
lis effaced from his heart and almos,
forgotten. What a commentary upon
sman!

How the Spy was Detected.

The Washington correspondent of the

chanic in Washington has invented a
kind OF ielegraphic hollow bullet dis

paper can be compressed and then fired
from musket to considerable distance.
| In time Of war this contriyance might
| be made very useful in conveying intel

| The screw bullet, however, he adds, is
no new thing, as the following accounl

Increase OF the Army.

Congress, by recent Act, has in
creased the rank and file of the Army
very considerably. The new law au.

was, we believe, but fiy-fa0o. The in.
crease is therefore % to each Company,
and 220 to each Regiment. The Regi.
|ments Of Artillery are also slightly in
creased. The total increase will be a.
bout three thousand men. All this force
lis needed on our Western Frontier
Within few days we have had two
Massacres by the Apache Indians. w.

PAINE's LIGHT.-We read lengthy
notice on this subject from Prof. Robert
Grant, who is now operating al WASH

|ernment He says:
My own opinion is that Paine has the
gas previously made and condensed in
|meialic vessels, from whence it is allow
Jed to pass into the water, assumed to be
drawn forward through tube. The
|metalic condenser being concealed in the
box which it is pretended contains the
magnetic machine, while the tube APP

representing the pole immersed in the
water, is made to assume the appearance
Pf decomposing this water by perforating
III with numerous fine tubes f:om which
|the gas passes in minute streams AZ
Through eullcnder.
We see much controversy in papers
ht the north about this Paine discovery,
including letters from him repelling at
tscks upon his pretensions. Tho Wor-
|cester Mass. papers, where MIR. p. re-
sides, do not hesitate to say. however,
that apparently he produces the results
he processes to do.
Mr.. Paine Is, the Herald says, at the
|Ast0r house, and has declared, in direct
and unequivocal terms, that he will light
that establishment, by means of his new
Invention, by the fourth of July.

WHOLE NO. 90,
True ManIiness.

The Hebrew was mighty by power ol
iaith--the Greek by knowledge and ar
Ethe Romans by arms-but the NIGH
6of modern men is placed in Work
This is shown by the peculiar pride oi
leach. The pride Of the Hebrew was in
Religion-the pride Of the Greek was in
|wisdem--ihe pride of the Roman was
in power-the pride of the modern man
lis in wealth. For the modern man be.
lief is not enough; ideas of beauty is mol
enough-nor is mere glory. The age OF
|industry--an age of capitai--an age
(which declares loudly, elf any man
will not work, neither shall he eat." p
Work in this age is more than ever con-
Enected with the wants and luxuries of
human life. The money standard covers
every thing.
Make not my fathers house house

what is his salary; if lawyer is able we
wish tn know his income before we can
determine his rank; if man builds a
house he thinks whether it can be sold.
We dare not ride our hobbies, whether
lin moderate able, or reckless gallop,
|till we know if it will pay. Even the
affections are bound by this rule. The
warmth of the heart is gauged by the
rise and fall of stocks. When two
young ladies speak in praise Of their
lovers, one says he is intelligent--the
Iother that he is amiable.
"But only think, says one, he is only

But il Is almost wrong to trife on SUCH

wealth, the result is grand even to the|
outward thought. He covers the land

Sprinkle corn meal in plate. covering
khe entire surface, and over that sprinkle
powdered sulphur--not 80 much as TO
cover entirely the meal, but lightly.--

containing water near by. In a few days
the reaches will disappear. This has
