DAILY EVENING STAR.
THE HEARTS FLOWERS.

The human heart is like garden hedged
with thorns. You must pass through the
difficult enclosures before you can pluck its
blossoms. As one will take most pains to
secure violet that lourishes in dangerous
place-for we are naturally fond OF hazard,
and prize its treasures by its cost-so the
fair growths of the heart, when gained after
much seeking, become of exceeding value.
They are worth striving after-for where
are the flowers with tints SO exquisite, with
odors so Transporting, as those which shoot
from the rich soil of the human bosom.
It is proper that each one should cult
yate his own domains. He who neglects
his household is worse than an infdel-and
he who neglects his land shall come to
want But we may bestow all necessary
attention upon the cultivation of our own
fields, and still have leisure to inspire and as
sist others. We may raise the blossom that
has been beaten down by the storm-we may
train the vine that has become mis- shapen
we may relieve the plant that has been
choked by weeds-and direct the tendril
that is looking for support. There is work
to do for others as well as ourselves.
There may be hearts in which such aid
seems useless. There are. We can tell
them before US. There is no dew that can
revive their blighted bosoms-no sun that
can warm to life their dead fruitage But
yet the attempt is not wholly useless, for
there may be one blossom and one plant
that have survived the general execration.
They have fable in the East, that a
maiden's tear, falling on the lips of dead
soldier, recalled him to life again. And
thus may it be with the heart whose vege-
tation is withered and dried up-for tears
are mighty, and We may not reckon their
influence.
Shall we not then husband our time-and
while We give good heed to our own hearts,
extend our sympathy and our aid to others.
It is glorious and satisfying labor, to
work among the blossoms of the heart-a
labor which shall make sleep sweet, life
beautiful, and the future mellow as May
morning.

PROSPECTUS OF THE
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN

To Mechanics, hauentorS, and Manufacturers
THE publishers of the Scientific Americana re-.
/ spectfully give notice that the Sixth Volume of
this valuable journal commenced the twenty firsi
OF September, Offering favorable opportunity for all
to subscribe who take interest in the progress
development of the Mechanics, Arts, and Manufac.
lures OF our country The character of the Scientific
American is too well known throughout the country
to require detailed account of the various subjects
discussed through its columns.
The aim of the publishers is and has been to render
1t the most thorough and useful scientific journal in
the country; and to judge of this by comparing its
circulation and influence with other publications of
the same GLASS; they have unequivoca evidence of it's
value, as the leading exponent of the Arts and Sci
ences.
1t is published weekly heretofore, in quarto form
on fine white paper, aording at the end of the wear
an illustrated Encyclopedia of over tour hundred
pages, with an index, and from five to six hundred
original Engravings, described by letters of refer
ence; beside vast amount of practical information.
concerning the progress of Scientific and Mechanical
improvements, Chemistry, Civil ENGINEERING Mann
featuring in its various branches Architecture Ma
sonry Botany-in short it embraces the entire range
of the Arts and Sciences
1t also possesses original feature not found in
any other weekly journal in the country viz: an

NTAsON'S PATENT PURIFIED
tHt Snerm OIL

This oil, for brilancy, durability, and purity
light and for lubrcating purposes, whether applied
to the delicate works of watch the most ponde-
rous machinery. surpasses any oil now known.
It is warranted not to gum, being entirely deprived
of that substance, which seriously impedes the
pid movement of all kinds of machinery; and for
burning it is cheaper and better than any olesginous
substance now in use.
While it affords light superior to gas camphne,
1T is also free from the dangerous explosive quality
of the latter, being solely sperm oil purified.
So pure is this oil that it will freeze at any de.
gree of cold known within the limits of the United
States having thereby in this. as in every other par
ticular, an advantage over the best sperm oil
used
After deyoting many years in experimenting with
the various oils for the purpose of overcoming their
impurities at present fabricated the undersigned
assures the public that he has succeeded in producing
the "ne plus ultra of oils He offers it as superior
to any known oil in the world, for the purposes OF
burning and lubrcating, and invokes the scientific
OF all countries to test it and pronounce their opinion
satisfied that all will agree that it is the finest oil
ever offered for sale
