STORY OF THE OATS AND THE WHEAT.
BY ELIZA L. SPR0AT,

There was CONSERVATION in the wheat-feld
Bright and early one morning as the bearded
hosts stood proud and calm in the sunshine,
sagely nodding their patriarchal heads in self
congratulation, behold, monster in their
midstl-a monster with terrible weapon of
steel. Ragged rs a democrat, ruthless as a
king, he draws a long breath, makes face,
swings his murderous weapon, and hundreds of
the proudest scions are PROSTATE where they
stood They fell, and their comrades bowed
in terror, and acres round vibrated with their
trembling
The sympathizing wind collected his forces,
and hurried across to "A colony of Oats, who
were distant cousins; there, with signs and
moans and long mysterious whispers, he told
the pteous tale.
Then passer-by might have noticed sigh
ings and whisperings and condolent mods. and
indignant murmurs, and brstling and houn-
cling, and hoarse low threatenings, until the
whole expanse had worked itself into tumult
of sympathetic rage.
All, how rejoiced was the eloquent wind, as
he sped with the tidings to the wheat-feld.
"Be of good cheer, o martyrs; your neigh
bors, the Oats, are friendly. They have ex-
pressed their indignation; they have charged
me with messages of hope and sympathy and
from the magnitude of their demonstrations, |
should say that the tyrant will not have time
to strike second blow ere the speared legions
of our brothers stand between you"
The reaper heard, and smiled He raised
his scythe, he looked thoughtfully across to the
oatfeld, and 10 an inexplicable phenomenon.
As the wind had drawn off, the tumult had
subsidized; and as the tyrant raised bis weapon
once more, it was ascertaned that in all those
acres of sympathizers not one had stepped from
his place.

after much use of the slate and pencil. With
these young hands are equipped for performing
work of endless variety, much of their own in
vention, producing a multitude Of other tools
as prominent in their work By and by comes
a turning lathe, with their hands well trained
for the use of it. This instrument gives new
force to habits of productive industry as it aids
production, and with it skill taste, and knowl-
edge-the purest kind of knowledge and in
great variety. Among a great multitude of
productions from the turning lathe three would
be of special interest-globes, surveyors COM
passes, and microscopes These are powerful
instruments of knowledge, greatly aiding each
other.
In every school on the face of the globe, still
better perhaps in families, boys could soon
make surveyors compasses, and by them sur
vey their school districts farms, and other fields
and lots, as business or convenience should call
for them.
Such a system for educating hands and with
them minds, will probably be doubted by no
one to be favorable to SCIENCE, TO WEALTH,
AND TO MORALS, and Of course for giving ener-
gy and progress to "THE DEMOCRACY OF

n1he flashing light
OF the moon that night,
Tbev were yoceess and still in their cleaning array
Whose cry had rung high at the dawning of day
Whose blow had been swift and yet sure in the fray
There are prayers of the dying borne out on the air
Thore are wild cries for loved ones unheedng them

Tbor are ewes raised to Heaven in voieeless despair
And the tread of men
Who are seeking again
Tho cor.e of their chief in the ranks of the dead

They hear him away to filter bed.

Where the old oaken boughs green roof made
Ger the messy couch where the dead was laid.
With sterner might
To die for the right
Do they who have served him and loved him the best
Now fold the hands quietly over the breast,
And Law him down softly and sadly to rest.
The trumpet blast in that greenwood glen,
Tho fierce war cry and the tread of men,
Shall rouse to the onset, O. never again;

Hath solemn sound in each leafy tree;

bubble of the law of that State, intended to
claim as a slave and take him back again into
bondage. He cOunselled with his acquaint-
ances here about his safety. He had nothing
to fear from full and fair investigation and
Just application of the law TO the facts of his
case; yet from the spirit engendered by that
law, and the many OutrageS perpetrated, even
when its forms are attempted to be followed,
he apprehended danger.
Finally the rumOrs and his apprehensions
were verified by the following advertisement in
the EuanSUiHe DAILY Journal, by which the
attempt was made to set the bloOdhOunds upon
his track, for the purpose of reducing him
again TO servitude:

now be somewhere in this vicinity. The above

appeared, Jack had gone. He was compelled

that would comply.

by grief, dying in her desolate home, with no
friend on earth to console and care for her in
her dying home but the hireling nurse-liter-

DEMOCRACY OF sCIENCE.-No. 70.
BY JOSIAH HOLBRooK.

The hand, the human hand, that marvellous
machine, is more marvellous in its magic pow
er and skill than in its curious and wonderful
mechanism and most marvellous in its plia-
bilities and capabilities in early childhood. The
fact is fully settled, that no period of life is
equally favorable for training the hand with
the six or eight first years. Without any spo-
cial design or provision for early manual train
ing, every young hand acquires skill, which, if
not common, would appear marvellous, and
certainly be found impractcable mt late pc
riod of life.
As it is the part of wisdom to select the best
time for everything, it is certainly of vital i'm
portance that teachers and parents should di-
rect special attention make il matter Of care

the work is e1dctness. This exactness is found
nowhere in perfection but in mathematical

EVANSVILLE, IND, MAJ 25

EVANSVILLE, IND, May rs, 1852.
A cOlored man Of the name Of Jack May,
in the year ls4s, was slave in the State Of
Kentucky. Having been liberated by the last
will and testament of his master, who died
during that year, he at once complied with the
registration law Of that State, obtained the
necessary certificates duly authenticated, and
in ls49 he came to this city, and became q
citizen Of Indiana. The certifcation Of his
freedom and registration were duly recorded
in the proper Office Of this county.
Soon afterwards he sent for his family, o
wife IA free woman) and one infant child. He
was more industrious and frugal than the
people of his color and class in the free States
His wife, an intelligent Christian woman, was
a pattern Of industry and economy, for people
in his condition in life.
Jack had been faithful servant up 10 the
time Of his liberation and ut the age OF TWEEN.
tyeight, with freedom, in free State, the pros
psot of u long life Of happiness for him and his
wife was exceedingly cheering.
Soon after the passage Of the Fugitive Slave
Law in 1850, Jack heard rumors through his
friends, (for he had friends in Kentucky that

zESczEI Among the passengers by the
Golden Gate is Col Ladislaus Berzenczei,
the chief, next to Kossuth, of the Hun
garian exiles brought off by the L. :.
frigate Mississippi from the dominions
Of the Sultan. This gentleman, whose
history in connection with the noble
struggle Of Hungary, is well known, to-
gethcr with his subsequent exile and
his reception in the United States, is at
present on his way to China, with the
purpose Of seeking out in the interior Of
that country a nation, believed to be the
source from whence sprung the people
Of Hungary. There is tradition among
the latter that they were originally de-
scended from the inhabitants of portion
Of China, which, among them, goes by
the name Of "Hungaria Magma Re-
cent discoveries have given confirmation
to these traditions, and it is now reduc-
ed to almost a cei tainty, that in the
heart Of the Chinese Empire lives vast
multitudlnous nation speaking the Ian
guage Of the Hungarians, with the same
blood in their veins, and whose history
till the arrival of the latter in Europe
was Identical with theirs. If this people
could now be apprised of the fact Of thi.
relationship, reused to the knowledge
that their descendants, so to speak, are

tack to them-it is not improbable that
from this knowledge would spring re-
suits the most important to The future
destines of Hungary. Even the disco
very of such u nation. and the identifi-
cation Of their lineage with that of a
European people now so prominent in
the worlds history as the Hungarians,
would be most interesting acquisition
to tho treasury of human knowledge,
To surmount the many difficulties in the
way Of attaining results so desirable,
there could not be person better suited
than Col. Berzenczei. He proceeds with
the full countenance and announcement
of Kossuth, and he carries with him, ad-
dressed to many of our principal citizens,
letters of introduction from gentlemen
Of distinction in the Atlantic States.
To us in California, such mission as
that he undertakes is peculiarly inter-
esting, and it is not to be doubted that
every facility will be extended to him
by our citizens in the prosecution of his
splendid enterprises. +. Herald.
