New Method of Producing Bur-
ming Fluid.

We learn by the London Mechanics
Magazicne, that a Mr.. Abraham M
Marble, Of Birmingham, lately secured a
patent fora new process of making bur.
ming fluid, which must be of great inter
est to many ofour readers. lis prepared
from oil of turpentine TO one gallon Of
the oil of turpenline, one pound OF sui
phuric acid and quart Of water are adj
ded. This is stirred, and, after standing
for three hours, the clear liquor, is dccan-
ted into vessel containing water by
which the remaining acid is separated
from it. Into another suitable vessel, a
pound Of fine lime is put for every gallon
of liqnor, and the liquor is then gradu-
ally poured in and stirred along with
the lime. This is left to settle for a
night, when the clear is drawn OFT and
Is fit for burning, instead of turpen'lne.
1t Is necessary, however, tor purer
spirit, that it should also undergo the
following process For every gallon of
liquor have a vat, in which Is placed
four ounces of fine lime and halfa pound
of burned potash. Wet this, with half
a pound of alcohol, and allow the vapor
10 subside then add more until the lime
and potash are covered with about a
pint of alcohol for every gallon of the
purified spirit, already described, gall
lon of which is added for every half
pound of the lime and potash. After
this settles the clear is distilled, and G
beautiful burning fluid is the result.

Writers on education, now>adavs, in
treating of the government of children,
have much to say about appealing to
their inward nature" The doctrine was
practically illustrated in Boston. A lady
finding some difficulty in making couple
of children walk home from church in a
becoming manner, said to them" If you
behave so, see if you don't have to take
some castor oil as soon as you get home
Now, take MY word fo- 1t just as sure
as YOU are alive" The children imme-
dately drew up demurely by her side,
and moved along as gravely as mutes at
a funeral.

A Yankee and Frenchman owned a
pig in coparlnership. When killing time
came, they wished TO divide the meat
The Yankee was very anxious to divide
so that he would get both hind quarters,
and persuaded the Ffenchman that the
proper way TO divide was TO cut it across
the back. The Frenchman agreed 10 it
on condition that he would turn his back
and take choice of the pieces after it was
cut in two. The Yankee turned his back,
and the Frenchman asked bin
'Vich piece will you have-ze piece
wild re tail 10 EN-, Or re piece vot amt no
tail 2
4 take the piece with the tall replied
the Yankee.
Den by gar, you can take him, and |
take ze oder one said the Frenchmam.
Upon turning round, the Yankee found
! that the Frenchman had cut off the tail
and stuck ii into the pigs mouth.

New DEFINITION Barometer-An in
genious method of ascertaining the sharp
ness of,he air. In many bar-rooms a
substantial lunch is provided gratuitously,
and upon it set ofgenteel loafers, de-
nominated" bar-room eaters" depend
for their living. The degree of sharpness
in the air, is ascertained by the amount
Of food which they consume from day to
day.
Apothecary's Weight requires 8 scru-
plies 10 dram. In the Eastern States,
however, where Iiquor-seIing in bar
rooms is prohibited, you can get dram
from an Apothecary without. any scruple
at all.
Leap-ycar is so termed because It has
no: so much "spring'' in it, as February
steals day from March.

OUR CREED.
BY H. H. CLEMENTS

We love religion, not the priest,
We love our country and our God;
We love the man who governs least,
Not one who rules with iron rod.
Each family should be a State,
Where all domestic virtues grow,
The heart an Empire-then let fate
Attempt in vain its overthrow.
We love the Farmer and his toll,
The landmarks of all life are there;
The treasure of Gods great gift of soil,
And his creation bright and fair.
We love bright gold, that it may strew
Contentment on the path of care;
We hate the man that never knew
That he could have too large share.
We love both wit and merit fine,
Though poverty their grace enfold:
The diamond in the dirty mire.
Shines just as bright as set in gold.
We love the beautiful, the good
The finished work of natures PLAN
For when they're fully understood,
They constitute the perfect man.
We love in woman, virtue, truth,
And know such gem would be less rare
If pity for her tender youth
Exposed the tempter's ready snare.
Her life is often overcast,
And darkness clouds the future way,
But heed the lesson of the past;
IT'S darkness teaches what is day.
Take off thy sandal weary Time
And lay it at thy gates-go in;
Search for some new and radiant cline,
Untainted with the blight of sin:
We wish thy realm as free and wide
As makes Gods universe our home,
That what we love might there abide,
And what is hateful never come.

"a woman in Maine recently renewed

the remark that "she was infinitely too
poor to do without it," There is great
deal conprehended in this declaration.

the public journals which has been his
daily or week y vistant 1t should be a
universally admitted fact, that newspaper
is one of The necessaries, not one Of the
luxuries of life. Every journalist in the
country, by taxing his memory moment,
could easily illustrate the truth of the po-
silion-and indeed there are very few in
any community whose experience does not
enable them to bear testimony 10 it. A
newspaper is mine Of wealth to millions,
who if they never saw one would have
reason to say that they were poor indeed.

A Beautiful Idea.

| cannot believe that the earth is
mans abiding place. 1t cannot be that
our life is cast up by the ocean of etern-
ity 10 float moment upon lis waves and
sink into Willingness Else why is il
that the glorious aspirations which leap
like angels from the temple Of our hearts
are forever wandering about unsaiislied
Why is it the rainbow and the cloud come
over US with beauty that is not earth,
thea pass eff and leave US TO muse upon
their faded loveliness Why is it that
the stars who hold their festivals around
The midnight throne are set above the
grasp of our limited faculties, forever
hooking us with their urapproaching
glory? And, finally, why is it that the
bright forms OF human beauty are presen-
ted 10 cur view, and then taken from US,
leaving the tho1sand streams of our affec-
tons 10 flow back in Alpine torrents upon
the heart! We are born for higher
destiny than that of earth There is a
realm where ralnbows never fade where
the stars will be out before US, like islets
that ,lumber on he ocean and where
the beings that pass before us like shad-
ows, will stay in our presence forever.

The Union Forever.

The Union Forever.
Perish the hand that would destroy
The temple of our sires
Perish the heart that hopes for JOY
In its consuming fires /!
Let not the monster be forgot
Who dares to light the flame,
But curse him with a traitors lot
And with traitors name!
Our fainting hopes refuse to die,
Our tottering bulwarks stand,
And Freedoms banner still floats high
Der united land
The stars that gem in azure folds
May cease awhile to shine,
But tremble not The arm that holds
The flagstaff, is divine!
While the dark raven bodies despair,
And still our fears renews,
The noble Eagle, high in air,
His onward way pursues.
He breads not there the tempests wrath
Though all its thunder roll:
But scars above>the tempest's path,
Exulting to the gaol.

Proud England boasts her dead
Tell, when THOU mad'st naughty Britain shak,
Where her brarc legions fled.
On Bunker's height they fell,
There, England left her dead;
And freedom rose upon the swell,
As patriot blood was shed.
See Saratoga rise,
There, England left her dead;
America! heard'st thou their cries,
As they to battle sped:
The shouts, the cries, the smoke,
Tell where lie England's dead
They tell the power of tyrants broke,
Those lifted banners red
And northward, too, they are,
On Scotla's plains they lie;
And bear not now the notes of war,
Beneath a northern sky.
From Ganges comes a wall,
From India notes of woe;
And Ensland's hosts DER right prevail,
And thus her mercy show.
Countless millions mourn its chains,
On every plain her dead
Those tears are not for others pains,
But for their own are shed.
Let England boast and wall,
On every plain her dead;
Her myriads in chains that dwell,
Ger all the globe is spread. w.A.p.
