A STRONG MAN WILL CARRY NE OVER THE
MOUNTAINS. These were the words of
sweet little dying boy in the city of Boston,
some weeks ago. About the middle of the
night in which he died he saw something beau
ful which he could not understand. He was
very much delighted with the vision, and his
parent assured him that God had given him
glimpse of heayen.-But they soon perceived
that the vision was somewhat marred by the
appearance of mountains which he saw mo.
ment before him. Almost in a moment, how
ever after they were discovered he exclaimed;
"A strong man will carry me over the noun

How TO DO UP SHIRT BosoMs.-We have
heard ladies expressing a desire to know by
what process the fine gloss observable on new
linens, shirt bosoms, &C., is produced, and in
order to crafty them, we subjoin the following
recipe for making Gum Arabic Starch:
Take two ounces of fine white gum arabic
powder, put it in a pitcher and pour on it a
pint or more of boiling water. (according to the
degree Of strength you desire, land then hav-
ing covered it let it set all night. In the morn
ing pour it carefully from the dregs into clean
bottle, cork it and keepit for use. A table
spoonful of gum water, stirred into apint of
starch made in the usual manner, will give to
lawns, (ether white or printed, )a look Of new.
ness, when nothing else can restore them after
washing. 1t is also good, (much diluted )for
thin white muslin and bobinet.

HARVESTING, WHEAT CR p, &c.-Farmers
in the vicinity of Belville Illinois, and beyond
the Bluff, on the opposite side of the river, com.
menced cutting their wheat last Saturday. A
majority of the fields will be down during the
present week and new grain may be expected
by the 20Lh or 25th of the month, fully as early
if not earlier than last season. North of this
city, for a considerable distance harvesting will
commence before the expiration of the month,
and before the middle July, new wheat will
begin to arrive in considerable quantities.
Last year we had the new crop in market in
June and by the 10Th and 18Th of the following
month, receipts were quite liberal. The fly
and rust has done considerable injury in some
localities, but it seems to be the prevailing opin.
ino that the crop of the West will be full ar
average one, and uniformly of good quality
Northern Illinois, and the North Eastern por.
ton of this State, have suffered severely from
the insect and wet weather. but to the South
: and East, and in the extreme Moth, we hear
no complaint ofshortness of yield from these
causes New wheat Of good quality will open
in this market at from rs to 85c., and possibly
choice samples may command more. There is
some of last years crop still in the country
but as this market has been deficient in receipt,
for several years the old and the new together
will have perhaps little or no effect upon pr
ces AT all events, we never expect TO see q
prime article Of wheat much below our figures
for the present crop.

Ezs- The following interesting scraps ofthe per-
sonal history Of Cooper the novelist we take
from the Tribune. 1t no doubt from "Otse-
go's" pen;
James Fennimore Cooper. the novelist was
the youngest child Of William Cooper, the orig
inal proprietor, after whom the village was nam
ed and this youngest child was the "oldest liv-
ing settler" Of the village at the time of his
death in September, 1851. Mr. Cooper earned
for himself worldwide literary reputation,
and his writing and his name are familiar to the
ready portion Of most civilized nations. His
first literary effort was "Precauton Z" a work
that was written, as he says, "because it was
told | could not write grave tale so as tc
prove that the world did not know me, wrote
one that was so grave that nobody would read
! it," His second work ("1he Spy was writ
ten to see il he"could not overcome this neg.
leot of the reading world, u in this he was EN-.
inently successful His third work, the "Pio.
neer," was written, he says, 'to please myself
so it would be no wonder if it displeased every
body else" This work is most lruthfully de-
scriptive of the scenery Of this locality, the
character of the first settlers and the incidents
Herewith connected. The "Pioneer'' was pub
lished in l823 since which time and to the day
of his death, Mr.. Cooper not only held but
daily used, the "pen of ready writer" His
novels, as originally published, number about
seventy volumes, and his other productions,
historical and miscellaneous, will swell the mum
Der of his published works, nearly to one hun
dred volumes; he has thus left an enduring re-
cord ofhimselfin the popular Giving language"
