A simple Fire Annihilator, for domes-
tic.use, is described in the Troy Budget
by an insurance agent of that city. Hear,
and save your houses!
why will not people avail themselves
OF modern discoveries to save their prop
erty from fire? A package of two or
three pounds Of sulphur, disposed in such
manner as to be among the first things
to burn, or at hand 10 be thrown into af-
ter its commencement before the air rush
es into the building, will arrest it as sure
y as water, and is better than water when
varnishes Of resinous gums are burning,
Oxygen and sulphur have so strong
an affinity that in the combustion of sui
phur the oxygen Of the atmosphere is
converted into sulphuric acid gas, at
which point fire is arrested.
Il tested this principle and thereby
saved my property some years since, an
account of which | gave through your
columns at the time. II is impossible to
conceive how much human suffering
might have been averted had that sugges-
ton been attended to by ship and boat
owners. ] never read the accounts OF
terrible loss Of human life on board our
ships and steamers without thinking that
they might have been saved by package
of birthstone in the fire-room.'

In the seasons, one by one,
As we welcome each in turn;
Spring. her early violets bringing,
With her blossoms freshly springing;
Summer next, with richer flowers,
And her many vine-wreathed bowers
Autumn then, with all her train,
And the farmers golden grain;
Winter, with its stormy gales,
Scattering snow-hakes on the vales
Hanging crystals on the trees,
Stealing gently all the leaves;
In the earth, the sea, the air,
Change is written everywhere.
-
But mightier change shall come,
Fraught with JOY and bliss to some,
To those who've walked in VISIONS way,
The righteous Judge shall surely say,
You will never suffer pain;
Ever with your Lord remain
And the loved ones gone before:
Change was, but shall be no more.

( The WIFE OF ANDREW JAcKsoN.--A
lady in the West has been kird enough
to send US copy of Andrew Jackson's
Epilaph on his wife. 1t is known to
have been his own composition, yet at
though il has been read by hundreds on
her tomb in Tennessee, it has never APP
peared in print before. This singular IN
scription runs thus:
Here lies theiremains Of Mrs. Rachel
Jackson, wife of President Jackson, who
died on the 22dlof December, 1923, aged
81. Heplace was fair, her person plea
sing, her temper amiable, and her heart
kind. She delighted in relieving the
wants of her fellow creatures, and cult
waited that divine pleasure, by the most
liberal and uDpretendlng methods. To
the poo- she was a benefactress; to the
rich she was an example; to the wretch
ed comforter; to the prosperous an orn-
ament; her pity went hand in hand with
her. benevoIence; and she thanked her
Creator for being permitted to do good
A being SO gentle, and yet SO virtuous,
SANDER might wound but could not dis
honor-even death when he tore her from
the arms of her husband, could bu,
transplant her to the bosom of her God

PREVENTION OF FORGERY AND COUNTER
FEITING.-It is stated that a paper, with a
novel kind of water mark, has been produced
in England, which will effectually prevent
the forgery. and counterfeiting of private
bonds, checks and bills, bank notes, &c. 1t
was invented by an officer of the Bank of
England, and has been used for the issues of
that Bank. The London Times states that
the invention, after much labor and pains,
has been perfected, and that paper SO
marked has been adopted by several public
companies in England and on the continent
1t is said likewise to be adapted to ornamen-
tai as well as practical purposes.

| If the late session Of the New York Lecis-
lature had accomplished nothing else, the
bills establishing two splendid parks in the
city would have entitled them to the graft
tude of posterity. New York has long suf
| fered for the want of more open breathing
places for its crowded population. The parks
now in existence, though numerous, are alto
gether too small. Washington, Franklin,
Madison and Hamilton, and other squares,
the City Hall park, the Battery and Bowling
Green are beautiful GASES in the desert OF
brick and morter, but nothing more. The
new parks will be something worthy OF the
name, and of the wealth and reputation OF a
great city. When laid out and completed,
they will rival the far-famed parks of Lon
don.
The great Central park embraces all the
ground between Goth street on the South, and
I06th street ON the North, and between 5th
and 9Th avenues. Its superficial area is about
759 81 acres, and includes the present Re-
ceiving Reservoir of 33 acres, the grounds of
the State Arsenal, anb those also of St Vim
cents Academy, "a acres. The surface is
agreeably diversified; the lands lying within
its boundaries being among the most uneven
and rocky on the island
The area will be about 100 acres more than
a square mile, and from our acquaintance
with the locality, we are confident, that under
the direction of persons possessing the skill
and taste necessary to develop the capaci-
fioS of fba Io, -
the Central park will become one of the most
beautiful in the world
The other park mot yet christened) is to
cover l53 acres of what are now called
"Jones's Woods" The grounds have bold
| and rocky front on East river, overlooking
Blackwell's Island, affording noble view of
the surrounding country, and of the river for
great distance. The park will be bounded,
South by Goth and North by 10th street, and
| by the Sd avenue and East river The whole
| area is already covered with stately trees, so
that little win be necessary to fit the place for
public use. The expense of the two parks
will be about 100000.
The New Workers are making a cores
ponding Improvement in the lower part of the
city, by the enlargement Of the Battery to
| about double its present area. 1t will, when
completed, be about "a acres in extent
These improvements afford noble evidence
of the prosperity, enterprise and forethought
of the people of New York.
Richmond has not been wanting in atten-
ton to the health and convenience of her citi
zens, with regard to public grounds. Within
few months she has purchased four lots of
ground for public squares which will, no
doubt, be laid out and prepared for the pur
pose as fast as the wants of our population
shall require. These purchases are alike
honorable to the foresight and good taste of
our city authorities. The late appropriation
of $4,000 to fit up one ofthese squares for the
approaching State Fair will leave the ground
in some measure prepared for public use, and
farther improvements will doubtless soon fol

THr PLAGuE in NEW ORLEArs.--A dis
patch dated the 9TH August, brings intelli-
gence from New Orleans of the most painful
nature relative to the ravages of yellow fe-
yer. During the twenty four hours ending
at Al. NJ, on the 9th, there were, in all, 23s
deaths, one hundred aud eight fur of which
were from yellow fever Another dispatch
makes the number of deaths, for the prece.
ding "a hours, ass, of which aos were from
yellow fever; but this is probably mistake.
The total number of deaths of yellow fever,
for eight days ending on the 9Th, were oyR
THOUSAND AND sEvENTY-THREEl
The returns, for the week ending ON the
5th inst. exhibit the total number of deaths
one thousand and .fffy of which eight hun-
dred and seceaty-nsae were from yellow fe-
yer. The highest number of deaths in New
Orleans, in ls47, when the fever ragged there
with great malignity, was 81. This has been
exceeded now by nearly 800 per cent? The
city is reported to bear truly sad and Desc
late appearance and this cannot be doubt
ed. One letter says: "Will not our fellow
citizens of the North take measures for the
reliefof our suffering and dying inhabitants?''
MIR. WEBsTER's ALLUsIos TO THE JACK
DAw.-We published few days since the
lines to a Jackdaw, which Mr. Webster is said
to have referred to in his last illness, together
with statement of the circumstances under
which the reference was made. A CORES
pendent of the National lntelligencer gives a
different version of those circumstances The
anecdote is so interesting, that we think it
worthy of stating this version also:
A few days prior to Mr.. Websters death, and while
he was able to be up and to walk the room, friend
called upon him. and after conversng with him,
to take leave. Mr.. Webster also rose, and as they
about separate the vsiter alluded the poll
teal movements that were going and the
ion of Alr WebsteT's with the Presidential
vase. Mr. Webster remarked in his usual impressive
manner, 1.-The political movements of men of no
consequence to me /; / have nothing more to do with
the affairs of this world am like the Jackdaw on
the church steeple-
"sHe sees that this great roundabout,
The world, with all its motley route
Church. army, phygic, law;
Its customs, and lis businesses,
Is concern at all of his,
And ssys-what says he ?-cawr"
The gentleman who related to me this occurrence
remarked that Mr.. Webster's tone and manner in
peating the foregoing stanZa fully equal to any
thing he ever heard from his lips in his best days.
