Borrow a gold ring from your wife, (if
you are not so fortunate as to possess
a wife, however, any gold ring will do)
and suspend it by silk thread from the
first fore6ngcr, taking care to disconnect
this finger from contact with any other
finger or thumb Then pile up some
books, or some convenient article. to the
height of eight or ten inches. and rest
ing your arm thereon to steady it, allow
the ring to become stationary. Then let
some one push under the suspended ring
(which you are to hold about an inch
from the surface of the table, piece of
metal-say half dollar you will i'm
mediatcly perceive that the ring will
commence vibratory motion invariably
in the same direction to and from you
At first the motion will be gentle, as if
stirred by a puff of air. but will gradu-
ally become rapid and excited While
the ring is thus swinging to and fro, let
a woman touch your left hand and to
your astonishment, the ring will soon
take transverse motion-crossing its
former track let the woman remove her
hand, the original motion will be rcsum-
ed. But should you be in the habit of
drinking freely or using tobacco exccs-
sively, the ring will not be moved at all
or only in obedience the impulse receiv-
ed from nervous tremor
Reader, we have stated what any of
you may test; and if any of you can
give us reasons for what you aoW per-
ccice, we shall be glad to record them

HoMELY TRUTH BRIEFLY spoKEN.-Of
one hundred men, says the Literary
World, it would be safe we think to as
scrt that at least sevcnty-fvc have u
strong idea to be possessed of worldly
goods and property-in a word to be
rich. Of these seventy-five, in our ac-
tive and ready-witted American popula-
ton, it would rarely happen that one was
entirely wanting in the faculty of dill
gence and yet few, up to middle age
acquire a competency, or in respect to
fortune accomplish their wishes. Can
any man give us the philosophy of this
frequent result 1t appears to us to
lie in small compass. There is in ev
cry community number of persons de
tcrmined not to labor. who lend then
whole inert energies to the reversal ol
the order of the Scriptures, BY the
sweat of thy brow shalt thou live. "
They then resolve, and maintain then
resolution with calm and stubborn uni
formity to the end of their days, not tC
sweat ; but to keep COOL" and let 9th
ers do the hard work in the heat of thC
day. Characters of this stamp are tC
be found in every town, village, city anC
district in the country.
And how do they live ? Simply BY
using others Either by getting posses
sion of their property without paying fol
it, on false credit, or by bringing Others
in, by way of loans and endorsements
to pay their debts. In a word, diligen
Americans fail to grow rich, at least tt
secure a competency, by not collecting
the debts they have earned in their cal
ling, or by having to pay the debts o
other people. These are two failures 0
the country.

Testimony in Point.

In the U. S. Senate, the bill Great
ing the office of Lieutenant General
being under consideration, the follow
ing observations were made:
MIR. Hamlin, of Maine, (Pierce
Dem, said 81 think as highly, and 1
speak openly and publicly everywhere,
of the distinguished general upon whom
this rank is to be conferred, as any
Senator here"
Mr.. Rhett, of S. c., Estate Rights
Dem. } said 81 shall vote for the reso-
luton, on the simple ground that Gen.
Scott merits it-any testimonial of
your sense of his high and distinguish.
ed services should be cheerfully paid.
He has shed glory on the United States,
and we, representing the States, ought
to bcstow on him all the honor we can
with propriety bestow. shall vote,
and vote most chccrfully, to bestow on
this distinguished soldier the honor the
resolutions propose, on the simple
ground that he has fairly and glorious
ly won it.
Mr.. Butler, of S. c., Estate Rights
Dem. said II concur with my col
league in saying that shall vote for
this resolution most checrfully as trib-
ute, a personal tribute to Gen. Scott.
He has won for himself and his country
historical reputation, and | am will
ling, as far as | can, to bear testimony
in my official character to his merits. -
Mr.. Hale, of N, H., Gree Soil
Democrat said 81 believe, myself,
that as far as military skill aud militia
ry prowess are concerned, Gen. Scott
has reputation compared with which
no man in the world can stand before
him. | believe, and | am sustained by
information from military men, who
were with him in Mexico, that greater
skill, greater science, and more of those
characteristics which 20 to make up q
great soldier, never were displayed by
any mortal man than were displayed by
Gen. Scott, from the time he landed al
Vera Cruz, until he entered the city
Of Mexico.
Henry Clay, of Ky. ,(Whig,) said
I" l do not mean to dwell upon the mer
its Of the individual, whom it is propos
ed to be rewarded here the whole
world rings with his praise in a military
point Of view. If there ever was al
instance in which it was the duty of ;
nation to offer its sentiments of graft
tude with a view to stimulate tutur,
military action, by bestowing the rank
costing nothing, but grateful bcyonC
description to the individual who ma,
receive it, the case Of the conqueror 0
Mexico presents such an instance"
Mr.. Foote (Union Pierce Democrat
said 81 honor the illustrious person
aye alluded to so often in the progrcs
Of this debate, as highly as any ON,
here. All the commendation bestowed
upon him on this occasion is, in m,
judgment,n mot at all beyond his deserts
as a patriot | recognize him as entitled
to the most profound respect; as higl
minded and accomplished gentleman
he possesses my esteem and affection
f as the victor upon many well tough
field, in which the national honor wa
maintained, and the enemies of GU
beloved country humblcd before ou
triumphant flag, respect him, l al
proud of him."

RAIL ROAD OPENING.-The Platts.

Railroad, between Plattsburgh and
Montreal, was opened Oct. 7th. The
event is one of much local interest.
The road is an excellent one, and as it
runs direct from Plattsburgh to Caugh
nawaga, opposite Lachine, and within
nine miles of Montreal by Railroad,
shortens the distance and expedites the
journey between New York and Mon
treal.

The skies have wept and smiled,
And the earth is whiting mild
Aud the little seeds grow wild.
Lying quick beneath the heather:

To his buried world he cries
Awake! Arise!
'Tis the sweet Spring weather
On The sua-entreated hill.
BY the water witchng rill.
They are rising, strong and still
Bladcd hosts of grass and heather
There are crocuses about
March winds have found them out
With a merry mocking shout,
For the shy Spring weather.
In the spirits longing need
Making welcome every weed,
In the violet and the reed.
Stepping bashful up together:
In the SUMS more generous shine,
In the air as rare rs wine,
There are prophecies divine
OF the sweet Spring weather.
