~ A writer in the National Intelligent
Ger, thinks Kossuth is mad. He wants tc
know what he is going to do with the two
thousand saddles he has ordered-of What
value they are without horses? And Of
horses and saddles, without riders? He
contends that 1t is absurd to think Of obtain
ing the horses in this country, to be con-
veyed to Hungary and he asks if it is not
as likely that the two thousand horses that
may be obtained in Hungary will be obtain
ed with saddles on them, as that they will
be obtained at ALL This purchase, he thinks,
savors Of insanity, and another act of the
Governors, he thinks equally mad, is the
purchase of the 10000 muskets at So piece.
He thinks if Kossuth could get the Austri-
ans to shoot these pieces he would Kill
more of them than if they were put IN the
hands Of the Hungarians.

How TO Grow RIcH.--The only way by
which capital can increase is by SAVING
Ii you spend as much as you get, you will
never be richer than you aye. lis not what
a man gets, but what he saves, that consti-
tutes his wealth. Go, learn the first two
rales of arithmetic learn addition and sub
traction. Add to your present capital any
amount you please; subtract the sum which
you add, and tell me If the last amount will
not be the same as the first. Every mer-
chant should in every year of his lie, make
some addition to his capital. You say you
get but little; never mind-spend less than
little; and then next year you will get more
for you will have the profit upon the sum
you save. There is no royal road to wealth
any more than to geometry. The man who
goes on spending all he gets, and expects
tina! by some lucky hit he shall be raised to
wealth, will, most likely, sink into poverty;
for in case of adverse fortune, he has then
no resource; whereas, by economy. he may
lay by a stock that may serve as provis-
ion in case of adversely. You may say that
times are bad, the seasons are bad, the laws
are bad. Look at home; you spend more
than you get. How, then, can you be 9TH
erwise than poor' How many respecta-
BE family have fallen from high station,
which they worthily and honorably filled,
merely because the gentleman nor the lady
had been familiar with the first four rules
Of arithmetic.

SINGULAR FAcTs.-If tallow candle be
placed in gun and be shot at door, it
will go through without sustaining any m
jury and If musket ball be fired in wa
ter it will rebound and be fattened as II
fired against any hard substance. A mus
ket ball may be fred against pane glass,
and if the glass be suspended by thread,
it will make no difference, and the thread
not even vibrate. Cork, if sunk two feetin
the ocean, will not rise on account of the
pressure of the water. In the arctic regions
when the thermometer is below zero, per-
sons can converse more than mile distant

CURIOUS MorIoSs.-Procure bason Of
milk.warm water, throw into it half-a-dozen
pieces Of camphor about the size of pea ;

acquire a rotary and progressive motion,
which will continue for a considerable time,
II now, one drop of oil of turpentine, o.
sweet oil, or even of gin (if allowed on the
premises) be let fall upon the water, the
pieces OF camphor will dart away, and be
deprived Of their motion and vivacity. Lit
.le pieces Of cork, that have been soaked
IN ether, act much in the same way a.

SALT LAKE EMIGRArIoN.-Tot those uni

snd character Of the emigrants to the Salt
Lake mast prove matter of considerable
as.onishment. Scarcely one in one hundred
families are now in St. Louis preparing to
emigrsts TO this "place of rest" Such,
however, IS the case, and we have reliable
authority for stating that the emigration to
.he Salt Lake Valley this season will moi
fail short of FIVE thousand souls. The ma
