An interesting experiment, or
dered by the Secretary Of War, for
the purpose of testing the relative
merits Of Onondaga and Turks Island
salt, has been made at New York.
The occasion OF this experiment is,
that there has existed strong preiu-
dice against salt Of home manufac-
ture; and for all orders for beef ard
pork for the use OF the Government
il has been expressly stipulated that
it should be packed in Turks Island
salt. The experiment was the pack
ing OF eight hundred barrels Of pork
in. the two varieties Of salt, about two
or three months since, which was
unpacksd and examined bv compe-
tent judges, and the result is that the
meat packed insthe two kinds of salt
was precisely the same, both being
compact and ofths same color.

We have seen frequent reference

the fate Of the above. Mr.. WEIGH
is entitled to the thanks Of the friends
of true American interests for his
effort to get this matter before Con-
gress. But the Locofoco majority
is too large, and the opposition TO
protection among that majority, out
Of Pennsylvania, is too much to
expect any other result than the
above. We are glad to see several
papers taking the same ground we
as advisable, and that is,
refuse to assist the Locofocos Of.

that they can continue 10 choke

ADvERTIsING:
The End of Liz.
By MRS. R. s. NICHOLS.

By MRS. R. s. NICHOLS.
"He lived all the number of his years
and they were three score and ten."
An old man sat by the window,
For the spring was drawing near,
And the course of the dead old winter
Had gone to the tomb of the year!
The sunlight soft and unclouded,
Streamed in o'er the oaken floor,
And fretted with gold, the dark pannels,
Quantity carved in the ancient door.
The hands of the old man trembled,
His beard was frosted and thin,
And chill as the hear: of December,
Was the heart that was toiling within;
Like embers, half quenched and dying,
On desolate hearth at night,
Burned the ashes of life in his bosom,
As he sat in the springs clear light.
He looked on the young buds swelling,
And tear DER his wrinkles strayed;
He thought of the wife of his bosom,
Who slept in the valley'sgreen shade;
He thought how his steps had faltered,
Midway on the journey Of life;
And how on deaths bosom he rested,
When weary and worn with strife.
The forms of his innocent children
She nightly had folded in prayer,
And laid on the soft lap of slumber,
With tender and motherly care.
Rose up in the old dman's vision
He saw that one tired and slept,
Like lamb by the side of its mother,
Where a. willow leaned over End Wept,
One son had wandered from virtue,
The father in spirit had yearned
To grant him forgiveness and blessing,
But the prodigal never returned;
Another had welded with Mammon,
And worshippe6 the Prince of this
world,
And one meath the Cross had enlisted,
And fought where its banner unfurled.
A daughter, the fairest and dearest,
In loveliness walked by his side,
Nor envied the lot of her sisters,
Who dazzled in beauty and pride;
Her voice was his hearts sweetest mu-
sic,
When from the blest volume she read,
That brightens the valley of shadow,
And smooths down the path to the
dead.
For all his affliction and sorrow,
For all his misgivings and grief
For the night of his doubling and dark
ness,
He found in its pages relief;
His life had been checkered with sad
ness,
And as if drew near to ifs close,
He longed for that home of the weary,
The land Of immortal reposeI
The old man sat by the window,
As the sun dropped low in the sky;
His spirit with silent rejoicing,
Went up to its mansions on high,
Another green hillock in summer,
Received the Baptism of dew,
And down in the dust of the valley,
He rests by the tender and true

that we duly appreciate the maxim,

the time OF peace" That when our
ears shall again be saluted with the
crv OF battle and the din of arms,
when the war whoop of the savage
shall again "awaken the sleep of the
cradle," and the scalping knife shall
again become crimsoned with the
blood of innocence, we may sink to
rest with the glorious assurance that
the provisions of this bill will be
faithfully executed, that the honor
OF the State will 0e fully indicated
at any period, and during any crisis;
and that when the shades of despo-
tism and despair shall be seen gather
ing over and around our sister
States, this star of ours will blaze
through the darkness with increased
brightness and splendor. Then, and
not till then, will the patriotism Of
the friends Of this bill be duly ap-
preciated.

fathers, in the establishment Of this
beautiful institution; as we admire
their wisdom and philosophy in IFS
improvement and perpetuntion, let

enormous fields of hundreds of acres.
The delightful odor from these fields
can be smelled at Z miles distance
on the river. The valuable article
Of commerce known as altar OF roses
is made here in the following man
ner: On 40 lbs. of roses are poured
GO lbs. OF water, and they are then
distilled over slow fire, and 80 lbs
OF rose water is obtained. This rose
water is poured over 40 lbs. OF fresh
roses, and from that il is distilled at
most 30 his Of rnse water: this is
then exposed to the cold night air,
and in the morning n small quantity
Of oil is found on the surface. From
so lbs. OF roses, about 100000, at
the utmost an ounce and half of oil
is obtained; and even at Ghazipoor
it costs 20 ,upees (S20) an ounce.
