the lumber that comes from that region. the
best trees never having been culled out, and
the texture Of the timber very soft and white.
Machine Flooring and ceiling stuff-worked

will be sold on the most reasonable tel ms.---
Good liberal measure given without stretching

we hope still TO conduct our business in such a
manner as TO merit the public confidence. ,n

The hours are viewless angels,
And still go gliding by;
To bear each mumeuts record up
10 him who sits Gil high.
The poison or the nectar,
Our hearts deep flower cups yield,
A sample still they gather swift,
Ard leave us in the field.
And some fly by on pinions
OF gorgeous gold and blue,
And some fly on with dropping wing
OF sorrows darker hue.
And as we speed each minute
That God to us hath given,
The deeds are known before his throne
The tale is told in Heaven.
And we who talk among them.
As one by one departs,
Think not that they arc lowering
Forever round our hearts.

How THE Rocky MOUNTAIN SaUAws
COOK THEIR PUPPY DoGs.-In Coke's Mar
rative of Ramble over the Rock Noun
tains, the following scene in an Indian wig
wan is described "A young puppy, that
had been playing with the child, was seiz-
ed by the woman. and received from her
half dozen sharp blows on the throat with
piece of wood about to be used for firing.
The puppy was then returned, kicking, to
the tender mercies Of tire infant, who exert
ed its little might to add to the miseries Of
the beast, while the mother prepared the
fire and a small kettle for the purpose OF
cooking. The puppy, still more alive than
dead, was then taken by the hind legs and
held over the flames till the woman's fin.
gers could bear the heat no longer. She
then let it fall on the fire, where it strug-
gled and squeaked most pheously, and
would have succeeded in delaying its end,
but that the little savage took care to pro-
vide for the security of his late playmate,
by replacing him in the llames,t till life was
eXtnguished and the hair satisfactorily
burnt on.

INCREASED AVERAGE DURATION ON LIFE.
Professor Buchanan, in an interesting
lecture before the Mechanics Institution of
Cincinnati, makes the following observa-
tons upon the average duration of life, the
effect IN part Of the Improvements in medi-
cal science. He says that in the latter part
Of the sixteenth century one-half of all that
were born died under five years of age and
.be average longevity of the whole popula-
ton was but IS years. In the 18th centu-
nv oGe:talf of the population died under
twelve. But in the first sixty years Of the
18th century one-half Of the population
lived over II wears. In the latter forty
years one-half exceeded 80 years o. age
At the beginning cf the present censnry
one-half exceeded 40 yeats, and from 1858
to 1S45 one-half exceeded %. The ave
rage longevity at these successive periods
has been increased from IS years in the
18th century up to 43.7 by our last reports:
These facts are derived from the medical
statistics Of Geneva. Applied to this coun-
try, such an Improvement as is here exhib-
tied from 1900 tC 1S45 would make valia-
ton in our bills Of mortality of more than
half million, or i,50e deaths daily.

has noticed you by an inclination of the
head. If you meet a lady Of your acquain-
tance in the street, 1t is her part to notice

if you bow to lady first, she may not
choose to acknowledge it, and there is no
remedy but if she bow to you, you, as a
