She is sleeping, calmly sleeping,
In the cold and silent tomb;
Where the sunlight Ger it creeping,
Robs the spot of half its gloom.
By the broad and brilliant river,
Ye have lain her down to res;
Yet her spirit with its Giver,
Revels now amid the blest.
There in holy peaceful slumber
While the sun shall set and rise,
And the stars countless number,
Shall Hume the quiet skies.
She will yet be calmly sleeping
While the days shall come and go,
While your eyes are dim with weeping
And your hearts oppressed with woe.
Yet remember grieving mother,
Twas the Saviour called her 'home,"
He who loveth as a brother;
And said "Suffer them to come
In his bosom viii enfield her
Free from suffering and care
And "at last We may behold her
Clad in robes that Angels wear.

Durability Of Wood.-Ihe piles under the
London Bridge have been driven 500 years,
on examining them in 1916, they were found to
be little decayed. Old SAVIOR Place, in the
city of London, was built $50 years ago, aad
the wooden piles consisting of OAK, elm. beach
and chesnut, we're found upon reoe-t xamina-
ton to he perfectly sound. Of the durability
OF timber in wet state, the piles of a bridge
built by the emperor rrajan, over the Danube,
afford striking example. One of these piles
was taken up and found to be petri6ed to the
depth of three-fouIths of an inch; but the rest
OF the wood was net different from its former
state, though it had been drived 1000 years.

Ashland-We learn from the Frankfort Com
mon wealth that Ashland never belonged to
Daniel Boone; nor did it ever belong Col
Nathaniel G. Hart, who fell at the river Raisin,
1t certainly did not decend from him to Mrs.
Clay. The disastrous battle of the OF the river
Raisin was fought in January, 1913; Henry
Clay owned Ashland seven or eight years at
least before that time. The truth, respecting
Ashland as near as it can he ascertalned from
gentlemen who remember the place for nearly
fifty years, is that il was 0riXinalya part OF the
Todd and Mansfield entries, and that Mr..
Clay purchased it himself at an early day-say
between 1900 and 1906.

Liabilities of Stedmboats-A case Of some
importance was recently tried at Cleveland,
Ohio, in which the liability of steamboats, was
set down by the decision of the bench. A
gentleman brought suit against the Niagara for
the loss Of trunk containing wearing apparel,
and $500 in gold. The judge held that non
-ey, except an amount actually designed for
travelling expense, contained in a trunk, was
not recoverable in case of loss, except as bag
gage. That in order to create such liabilities
on the part Of a boat or transportation compa-
n.y. the unusual contents of such trunk should
b. made known to the carrier, 80 that freight,
if demanded, mi ght be received in proportion
10 the rSk-that where trunk, with such con-
tents was received, not a. mere baggage, but az
fr,i .ht the carrier would be liable, although he
had no notice Of the particular contents of the
trunk bat that a mere gratuity paid to the por
ter, as n perquisjte for taking care of trunk,
did not, in the absence Of any other proof,
vary liability Of the carrier. The court further
held that il it appeared from the evidence that
his money was being transported for purposes u
future investment, aud part Of it was iutel-
ded to be usedas travelling expenses, that un
der the circumstances the boat would not be
liable for ans portion OF the money. The jury,
under the cha rye OF tie ,ClIt. returned yer
diet for 5000. the value of the wearing appar.

nopulation is wealth, and this is certainly true
when that population is characterised by intelli-
cence, industry and enterprise. The diffusion
of knowledge and an elevation of the moral
standard are immediate effects of such physical
improvements rs has beer shown by the history
of countries where they exist. There are
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS by which knowled ge approach
es the human intellect, besides the school house
and the college. The Intercourse Of distant
portions of the country by means of travel, the
Interchange of thought, the contact of mind
with mind, are as the seeds of knowledge cast
atrandom over the surface of society. Though
many of these may fall in stony places, many
will take root where we would scarcely dream
that they could find soil to grow. This is the
ample school house of the world, in which the
noorest and most friend forsaken may obtain an
education for the actu al conflict of life.
1t is deeply to be regretted that the advan-
taces of education among us are not equal and
universal. l may take this occasion, however,
to congratulate you, uppou the growing appreci-
alton of education, and the increased facilities
for>obtaining it in all part of the State. The
youth of the country are the hope of the eoun-
try, they are the treasures of the cum
monwealth. The generous young men OF the
State are among the bravest patriots OF the
State ready to do battle for her in whatever
field. would have their patriotism an en-
increase -hraxe- lat
the necessity of intelligence, and the erection Of
/ school houses and colleges will be the answer
ing product of this demand.
But have been led too far from the propri-
cites Of the occasion, by the interesting sugges-
tons Of th. period Of our history. 1t now re-
MAINS for me to return, through you, my pro
found thanks to the people of this my native
State for the honor done me. in comforting the
Office which i NOW resign into their hands.
sincerely pray that II Benign Providence will
continue his bountiful blessings to them and
their pdserity forever; that their virtues may be

PRESERVING BUrTER-The farmers of Aher.
deem, Scotland, are said 10 practice the follow
ing method for curing their butter, which is a
great Superiority over that of their neighbors:-
stake two quarts of the best common salt
one ounce of sugar, and one ounce of common
saltpetre; take one ounce of this composition
for one pound of butter, work it well into the
mass, and close it up for use. The butter cur
ed with this mixture appears of a rich al d
marrowy consistence and fine color, aud never
acquires brittle hardness nor tastes salty
DR.. Anderson says: Il have eaten butter cured
with the above composition that has been kept
for three years, and it was as sweet as at first
1t must be noted, however, that butter thus
cured requires to stand three weeks or month
before tits used. If it is sooner opened the
salts are not sufficiently blended with it, and
sometimes the coolnests of the nitro will be per
ceived, which totally disappears afterwards."-
