New STYPTIC.-A pharmacien, at
Rome, Signor Hagliare, has recently sue
ceeded in discovering liquid possessing so
extra ao1dinary power of coagulating blood,
that if TO large basin containing this fluid
one drop Of the styptic be added, complete
soldi6ca,ion ensues, SO that the basin may
be inverted without causing any blood TO
be lost. The practical advantages of this
styp,ic are consequently very great, mas
much as, by its timely application, the bleed
ing from large and dangerous wounds may
be Immediately staunched. In addition 10
the other invaluable qualities of this liquid,
i, is totally devoid Of poisonous agency, and
easily prepared as follows: Take S ounce
Of gum benzoin, l pound Of alum, and 10
pin,s of water. Boil all together for the
space of eight hours in an earlhenware g az
ed vessel, frequently stirring the mass, and
adding water sufficient to make up the orI-
ginal quantity of that lost by ebuli'on, TAX
ing care, however, to add the water so grad
ually that boiling may not be suspended.
The liquid portion of the compound is now
to be strained off, and preserved in we'll
corked bottles. 1t is limpid like champagne
as to color, possessing slightly sIyptic
taste. and an agreeable odor.-Daily .Neacs.

KEEPING APPLEs.-Mr. Pell, Of Ulster
Co., N. Y, the celebrated exporter of ap-
piles to Europe, recommends ,ha, apples al
ter having been picked should be laid on
floor, by hand, without pouring from the
baskets, until they are twelve to eighteen
inches deep, and be left to dry and season
three weeks; when again packed in clean
barrels, they may be KEEP. any reasonable
length Of time and safely sen! to any part
of Europe or the East Indies. The plan Of
drying and seasoning them prevailed gene
rally some years ago, though now-a-daysit
is mostly discontinued and considered use
less. We are disposed to think favorably
Of 'hls process when i, becomes imporlan,
10 keep apples safely ill next spring 10 send
TO foreign countries, for we have always
observed that after opening barrel few
days, after being put up, in ever so dry
weather, that the moisture often stands in
drops over the whole suffice, and although
loose barrels will allow il mostly to evapo-
rate, yet when they come in contact, the
two surfaces relan il and cause rot.
The carrying o! apples in common
wagon, either before or after bsrrellng, is in
jurious-,hey should be moved on springs
or on sleds. The Iess! abrasion of the skin,
or crushing of the cells Of the pul p contain
ing the Juice, allows fermentation and de-
composition, and the consequent decay of
the whole mass.
If apples are carefully picked and hand
led, and packed in saw-dusl which has been
ofully dried IL -a-.. ta-csrrie.l safe and
will keep longer and better than by any
other method Of packing. The drv saw
dust absoIbs all the m moislure which may
come ou, of them, and being good nom
conductor, i, preserves them in all 'empers-
lures better than by any Other plan s,ll
apples should always be KEEP, in a cool, dry
place, the temperature, if possible should
be nearly as low as the freezing point.

WIG PRINCIPLES.

The Greensborough Patriot, week two since,
contained the following:
"As regards national measures and national men,
there appears to be gratifying unanimity of view
among the Wings of the whole State
We copied the foregoing, and asked the Patriot
who these men were, and what were the measures
alluded to. We desired light, and asked for it.
We desired to know uhere the Patriot was and ,uhat
it was up 10; and SO walked right up to it and
questioned it. 1t stood, and it answered. follows
"We are here, Sir! Up to snuff! For Fill
more and Graham now, and the Union forever! And
afraid of nothing but the elephant!''
And that, we suppose, is Whigism!
The Patriot says it is s. for Fillmore and Graham
now!" True enough, but it will be for Scott here
after.

MARCH OF AMERICA.

Anv one who will examine steadily, for a few
thoughtful moments, the past and present condition
our people, cannot but feel that are, words
often used lightly, lawfully progressive - and 1t is
with mixed sensation of fear. admiration. and won
der, that note the gigantic movements by which
the Republic has hewed herself pathway from the
Atlantic to the Pacific.
Let as look back little. and review what we have
done.
In three quarters of century we have increased
from three millions to millions of people.
Within that same period of time we have let in the
blessed sunlight upon thousands of miles of land,
once an almost impenetrable wilderness of shadowy
sylvan Aises, arched with interlacing boughs and
thick foliage.
We have built up mighty cities where fifty years
ago the Indians hunted, the owl hooed, and the wild
deer fed.
We have thrown forward in every direction pio-
neer army of hardy men, who, with the alone,
have elled far reaching forest and laid open to the
day region equal in extent to the eastern Empire
We have built up commercial marine second TO
in the world. The white outspread wings of
magnificent ships to be sailing over eve
known sea, while the flag they bear is respected
in every land.
We have subdued space by Steam, and time by
Lightning.
All these wonders have been achieved within one
mans ordinary life time, by the magic of one word
"a word potent to perform marvellous acts as the
open sesame of the Arabian story that word is,
| FREEDOM.
Three quarters of a century ago, and at this sea-
of the year, small army of n.en rich in nothing
relates bodily comfort: in rags, and staining blood
I lily the white crisp with their bare feet-lay
shivering at the Valley Forge. The Forlorn Hope
of Liberty! To-day, did the occasion demand
it, one blast of the trumpet would sum-
mons two millions of fighting men into the field not
gaunt and meagre, like those at the Valley Forge
but warmly clothed, we'll armed and equipped, and
| bountfuy provisioned.
Let us hope that such display of patriotism will
be required. Peace, especially if it be maintain
ed with honor, is both the true policy and the true
interest of country. 1t needs prophetic see
to foretell, that with fifty years peace shall
become the most powerful nation the face of the
| globe. and number within the same period of time
one hundred millions of people. To effect this, we
must have unity among ourselves, harmony in ma
tional councils, conservative Republicanism, ano
quiet if not friendly relations with foreign countries

Your merry laugh, like Fairy OelIs'

While every hour flew swiftly n.y.
If thy voice could hear

As on your bounding steed,
Der hill and dale you madiy dasneu'
At rash and dangerous speed
And when YOU said you kne" no lear'
While dashing thus along,
wondered that a form SO sight,
Could hold a heart SO strong
Va. ,oon found that form enshrined.
Genius, both proud and high,
I saw it on yotir noble brow,
And in your flashing eye.
Al times my spirit owned the SPELL
And bowed before thine own,
Twas not the woman | adercd,
But Genius on her throne.
We parted, and you linked your fato
With one we'll worthy thee,
Whilst became wanderer lone,
Der distant land and sea.
