LITTLE GRAvEs.-Sacred places for pure
thoughts and holy meditations, are the little
graves in the church yard. They are the depos-
itories of the mothers sweetest joys-half un-
folded buds of innocent humanity, nipped by the
first frost of time, yet ere canker-worm of pol
luton had nestled among its embryo petals
Calous, indeed, must be the heart of him who
can stand by alittle grave side, and not have the
holiest emotion of his soul awakened to tho'ts
of that purity and joy which belong alone to God
and Heaven; for the mute preacher at his feet
tells him of life begun and a life ended, with
out stain; and surely if this be vouchsafed to
mortality, how much purer and holier must BIZ
the spiritual land, enlightened by the sun of in
finite goodness, whence emanated the soul of
that brief sojourner among us. How swells the
heart of the parent with mournful joy, while
standing by the cold earth bed oflost little ones.
Mournful, because sweet treasure is taken
away-joyful, because that precious jewelry gli-
ters in the dadem of the Redeemer.

A NUT FOR THE GEoLoG1sTs.-Hiram De
Witt, of this town, who has recently returned
from California, brought with him piece of the
auriferous quartz rock, of about the size of a
mans fist. On Thanksgiving day, it was bro't
out for exhibition to friend when it accidently
dropped upon the floor, and split open. Near
the center of the mass, was discovered, firmly
imbedded in the quartz and slightly corroded,
cut iron nail of the size of six penny nail
1t was entirely straight and had a prefect head.
By whom was that nail made! At what period
was it planted in the yet uncrystalized quartz!
How come it in California? If the head of that
nail could talk, we should know something
more of American history than we are ever like
ly to know. [Sprngield Republic.

ing British Quarterly Reviews and Lakewood

ly commenced the publication of u valuable Agr-
cultural work, called the
"FARMER's GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND PRAcrIcAL
AGRICULTURE,
By HENRY STEPHENS, F. r. s., OF Edinburgh, au-
thor of the "Book of the Farm" &C., &C.; assisted
Ivy JOHN p. NoRroN, M A, New Haven, Professor
of Scientific Agriculture in Yale College, &c, &c
This highly valuable work will comprise two
large royal octave volumes, containing over ,400
pages, with 19 or 30 splendid steel engravngs,
and more than 600 engravings on wood, IN the
highest style of the art, illustrating almost every
implement of husbandry now in use by the best
farmers, the best methods Of ploughing, planting,
having, harvesting, &c. &C., the various domes-
tic animals in their highest perfection; in short,
the pictorial feature of the book is unique, and
will render it Of incalculabe value to the student
of agriculture.
The work is being published in semi-monthly
numbers of ia pages each, exclusive OF the Steel
engravings, and is sold at 25 cents EACH or IS Tor
the entire work in numbers, OF which there VIII be
at least twenty-five.
The British Periodicals re-publlshed are as fol
lows, viz

The NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church),
BIAcKwoop's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion Of their contents s devoted to political sub
ects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, and in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals oftheir class
Black,oood, still under the mastery guidance of
Ch,isfopher North, maintains Its ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing in
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as ''Ihe Caxtons, and my
New Novel" (both by Bulwer,) "My Pennsular
Media, "The Green Hand" and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
printed by those publishers from the pages O.
Rlackwood after it has been issued by Juessrs Scot
& Co, so that subscribers to the reprint of that
Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.

only by comparison that the relative merits of any
thing can be determined The safer presumption
for you to arrive at, will be that what you have
as as good, If not better than that Of others, and
that it behooves you to ealanty enter the list Of
competition if defeated honorably, and the high
character of the judges is Il guarantee that you

he luxury Of knowing that others were more en-
tiled to success than yourself.

mission to solicit your interest, to induce your
Diues and daughters TO bring whatever appertains
to their peculiar departments, embroidery, mousse

otism both combine to enjOin upon you the pro

elsewhere. We therefore say to the agricultural
Implement makers and Mechanics Of the Unied States,
make it a matter of pride to display your machi-
merry ut our exhibition, and vie with each other in
