Timber which has tho most durability is,
in general now and is highly valued. But
how to dispose Of such timber ns our coun-
try affords in abundance is not so we'll un-
dcrstood.
II snscertancd that the changes the sap
undergoes after the timber is cut is, the
cause Of decay. When timber is seasoned.
the sap is measurably evnporated, Or it has
become insipisa,ed, the water only being
converted into vapor. Whenever, there
fore, moisture is absorbed BY timber thus
prepared, the insipisated sap is dissolved,
and weak acid is usually formed, which
by heat rapidly generates the putrfactvc
fermentation. This soon produces decay
and destruction. Wood which possesses
the most durable nature, possesses it be-
cause the sap in it-from the presence Of
some essence, soluble resin, succharne
matter mixed with an anti.scptic, or an an
'i-septic alone, even though moisture may
be absorbed--has no tendency to form an
acid, and produce destructive fermentation.
This is shown by an examination Of each
kind ofdurable timber. The cypress is ol-
ways a very sweet wood, and continues TO
be so, though exposed to great moisture.
The same remark applies to the red cedar,
the mulberry, the locust, the pitch pine, the
walnut, and sometimes to the oak. The
oak, however, has more tendency to assume
sour state from moisture than any Of the
others, and therefore, it tends more to de-
cav.
The object then should be to adopt some
method by which the durability Of timber
may be secured.
Charcoal is known TO be an antiseptic ol
ihe best kind. This the ancients well IN.
derstood. The charred stakes Of oak, plant
ed in the river Thames, by Julius Caesar,
before the birth Of Christ, was few years
ago taken out perfectly sound.
It is we'll known that charcoal in the
state in which we obtained it from wood il
indistructab!e by age. We would ado as
additional proof Of the above remarks, thai
the piles on which the foundation OF the
temple Of Ephesus, in Asia Minor rested
and which cdiico was burnt 356 years be
fore the birth Of Christ, had been charred
When taken up in modern times, the char
coal seemed perfectly fresh, and cven th'
marks Of the axe were visible. Manu-
scripts and other articles which were redu
ced TO coal and were recently found in Her
culaneum and Pompeii, had undergone nj
change. These cities were overwhelmed
by an eruption Of vesuvius, in the 70th 0
the christian ern.
The charring Of oak posts, to be set j,
the ground, surrounds the timber with al
antseptic which preserves the sap dissolv
ed in moisture from an acid change, ant
thus secures it from decay.
II then the durability Of wood can be SC

THE FORREST DIVORCE CAsE.-The liza
risbnrg Telegraph says:

THE FORREST DIVORCE CAsE.-The lIar-
risbarg Telegraph says:
'Mr. Edwin Forrest is now in Harrisburg,
with his friends, who are numerous, urging
his application for divorce. The matter,
we understand, is before the judiciary COM
mittce ofihc Senate, which on account of
the high position Of the parties, is making
a thorough investigation Of it. Their re-
port will be looked for with much interest,
as in great measure settling the justice Of
the application
Tho Albany Esening Journal says:
we met the counsel Of Mr.. Forrest, a
few days since 10 New York, where, under
a commission from the Legislature of Penn
syIvania, he was taking testimony in this
case. From the positive and unhesitating
assurances ofthat gentleman-ag gentleman
Of high character and intelligence--we be
licved that the testimony against Mrs. For
rest would establish her inidelity beyond
all question or doubt.
sHaving believed that Mr.. Forrest had
abandoned his wife without cause, we had
taken occasion to characterize his conduct
as unmanly and cruel. Relying, therefor,
upon the confident assurances Of a friend
that the lady was the offender, we felt that
reparntion was due to Mr.. Forrest, and this
we offered 10 make.
subsequently,, however, we met another
friend on whose Judgment and opinions we
have been accustomed 10 rely, who with n
knowledge Of the whole case, as unhesita-
tingly maint aims the purity Of Mrs. Forrest.
and pronounces the proceeding wicked
crusade Of power and wealth against an in
iured and defenceless woman.
sUnder such circumst snces il is m'nitesf-
ly proper that public opinion should wait
upon the result Of the investigation. The
question, in all its aspects, is painful one.
Mr.. Forrest is strong in the confidence and
regard or hosts Of frieads and admirers.
Mrs. Forrest is strong in the affection ota
qnet circle Of friends who are ofthe highest
respec,ability, and who are confident thai
she will pass unscashed through this severe
ordeal"

TO MY WIFE.

Pillow thy head upon this heart,
My own, my cherished wife;
And let US for ono hour forget
Our dreary Path oflife.
Then let me kiss thy tears away,
And bid remembra aRce Zee
Back to the days Of halcyon youth,
When all was hope and glee.
Fair as the early promise, love,
Ofour Joy -freighted barque,
Snnlit and lustrous, to the skies
Now all SO dim and dark,
Over stormy sea, dear wife,
We drove with shattered sail,
but lone sits smiling at the helm,
AID mocks the threat'ning gale.
Come let me part those clustering curls
And gaze upon thy brow
How may, many memories
Sweep o'er my spirits now2
How much Of happiness and grief
How much of hope and fear
Breathe from each dear loved lineaments,
Most eloquently here.
AH0u 6cutle VHc3 lew JOyS remain
To cheer our lonely lot,
The storm has left our paradise
With but one sunny spot,
Hollow'd fore'er will be that place
To hearts like thine and mine
lis where our childish hands upreared
Afe ctions earliest shrine.
Then nestle closer to this breast,
My fond and faithful dove!
Where, if not here should be the ark
Ofrefuge for thy love?
The poor mans blessing and his curse
Pertains alike 10 me,
For shorn of worldly wealth dear wife,
Am not rich in thee?
