So The Ladies' Keepsake for Julyis as good

s5y- The Ladies keepsake for July is as good
as any of its predecessors. 1t contains several
very valuable articles. The pure taste, and re-
fined sentiment, which it is calculated to incul-
cate, renders this monthly well worthy of the
extensive patronage it receives. The price of
the Keepsake for one year, making volume OF
3s4 pages with twelve steel plates, is only one
dollar in advance.

INDIA RUBBER TEETH-Ths article in the
form of purified white Inda.rnbber, has been
patented in England, for making artificial teeth,
gums and palates. BY its adoption many advan-
tages hitherto impossible to be obtained have
been introduced. The adhesion is complete, it
can be moulded with perfection TO suit any
inequality of the gums and teeth, and supply an
artificial periosteum, as it were, to the teeth,
when they become painful by the wasting away
of the gums. Added to these is the elasticity
of the material, which completely obviates the
Inconvenience that arises from any motion
with artificial teeth made by other means.

For the Grand River Times.

The people of the town of Wright celebrated
the glorious fourth ia the village Of Berlin in a
manner much to the credit of its inhabitants,
and the entire satisfaction of all who were pres
ent. Having purchased new cannon IL was
ably managed by an experienced artlery-man.
The procession, which was nearly quarter of
mile in length, was formed in front of the
house of IRA Ford, Esq, at the foot of a SPLEEN
did liberty pole, on which hung beautiful flag
whose inscription told volumes in memory of
l776, and under the direction of Mr.. Daniel N.
Champion who trained the procession in good
order, and marched them to place situated in
the woods where they listened to splendid ora
ton from the Hon. Thaddeus Foote, Jr., OF
Grand Rapids, and an earnest and impressive
prayer by Rev. VIM. g. Comfort, after which
the procession returned to the house OF Ira
Ford, where they were served with an excellent
dinner which was followed by toasts, guns, bon
fires, and music by the choir which was of the
first stamp. About twenty toasts were given
of which the following are specimens -
The Town of Wright
May she be right side up and right all occasions.
| No better town can there be found,
| No better land, no better ground
No smarter boys, nor girls more bright,
Than you will find in the town of Wright
| The Marshal Of the day
In support of American institutions he's cham

In supporting the rights of its citizens he's cham

In defence of the Maine law he's perfect champ-

Too MANY BANKS AND RALRoADs.-The fol-
lowing from Thompson's Reporter is short, but
to the point and timely.
We do not believe in borrowing trouble, and
old foges and croakers are our special aversion,
but once in while the financial engine gets too
much steam on and the safety valves have to be
opened, or the whole train runs off the track
The spirit of the age is progressive-the motto
of the times is 90 ahead"-no matter at what
cost, or what risk, or where you 90 TO, but 60
ahead; don't stand still nor lag behind, but push
on-keep moving; this is what is taught the ri
sing generation, and the rising generation is re-
markably quick at acting upon the advice. The
consequence is, every branch Of industry, trade
and commerce is extended to the utmost, enter
prises undertaken and carried out by individu-
ais, that twenty years ago, Governments would
not have ventured upon.
The expansion just now is in manufacturing
Banks and building Railroads, and we think
there is more Of both done than is needed Rail
roads are useful and absolutely necessary, and
every mile that is built adds to tho wealth of
the country, but they should be built and paid
for by those who receive the most benefit from
them-they should be built by actual subscrip-
tons, and not by the sale of mortgage bonds
The bonded Indebtedness of this country is enor-
nous, and the amount of various loans on the
London market for sale,is estimated at over one
hundred millions of dollars 1t is not difficult
to imagine that the time may come when it will
not be very easy matter to pay the interest
merely on our Railroad debt, and in many cases
the principal, when due, can only be paid by re-
newal.
the increase of Banks is also too rapid; they
spring up in every town and village, and in cit
les they monopolize all the corners, and are as
common as grocery stores. The increase is,
we think, greater than the country requires. A
little reflection will satisfy every one that there
can be such thing as too many Banks and in
our opinion this is just the time when little
reflection is most needed.

BENToN's PACIFIC RAILROAD RourE.-The
st. Louis Republican, the editor Of which had
an interview with Major Grenier, late Secretary
of the Territory Of New Mexico, who left San
ia Fe, on the LIST June, says:
"In answer to our inquiries, we learn that
there is but one sentiment among the old noun
tain men Of New Mexico, regard to the
proposed railroad route--that Of the total i'm
practicability Of Benton's or Fremout's route /;
and the entire feasibility Of the Albuquerque
route. Buffalo Engineering seems to have
had less weight with the men who have pass
ed their lives in that country, than with the
old gentleman who has originated this fanciful
mode Of determining railroad routes"

Now Is the time to study the entomology
OF the South, which have 30 great besring
upon Horticulture. The enemies Of fruits.
taught by an unerring instinct now seek the
germ and flower of fruits, to perpetuate their
race. And shall we give up, without a strup.
gle, our luscious peaches, melting pears iuicv
apples and perfumed pumsl These fruits
have been produced by the labor and skill Of
the Horticnlturist and can only be preserved
by corresponding skill and labor The peach
worm and the curculio, are two of the most
deadly enemies of the Southern fruit culturist
and he who shall discover preventive, will
richly deserve the premium, proposed by our
valued correspondent l. L. Harris, ESQ.
But remedies, or preventiyes, cannot be
found, without perfect knowledge Of the his.
tory and habits of the insects, and this know.
ledge can only be obtained by labor and per.
severance.
We want an Audubon ontology If this
great naturalist found it advantageous to the
cause of science to spend months to find out
the habits Of an innocent, uoffensive bird--how
much more advantageous it would be, to spend
years, to find out all the habits of an insect
that destroys the finest Of earth
The Horticulture of the South should re.
celve all encouragement, for wholesome fruits
are indispensable in hot climate.-Who can.
not appreciate the difference between dish
of ripe peaches or baked apples and milk for
supper, or bread and meat and vet those who
can afford the one, may have the other.
Ripe figs and melons are pleasanter stom-
aehers than the druggist furnishes. Straw
berries are better dentrfce than charcoal
and quite as pleasant And the hundreds of
fruits and the hundreds of fruits and veQeta-
bles that should be known, and cultivated, to
take the place Of the heavy meats that now
supply our tables, require more attention at
the hands Of Southern men. We have re-
marked that the Medical profession were de-
voting more attention to Horticulture than
any other profession at the South Is it not,
that they have found that ripe fruits and veg
etables are a good substitute for mineral poi
sons! 1t surely indicates something of the
kind, and to this profession, more than any
other, do we look for improvements in South
en Horticulture.

HoRrIcuLURE OF TEE SoyTH.-The term
Horticulture, which is usually only applied to
gardening with us means the culture Of fruits,
vegetables and flowers. 1t is said that the
whole agriculture Of the Chinese is but re-
fined Horticulture; SO skilled are they in the
management of seeds and plants and in the
saving and production Of manures, that the
whole face Of their vast empire looks like one
blooming fruitful garden. We hardly won
der that these Pagans should worship the s,in,
when they look no farther than his rays, to
trace all the fruitfulness and beauty Of this
world VIC live in. But what shall we say of
those Christians whose Master taught them to
abehold the Lilly the Valley" and drew such
a comparison between it and man, as pales all
human grandeur before its beauteous petals,
and vet who affect to look with contempt up
on Horticulture
Horticulture, as an art, stands pre-eminent-
ly above all other arts for it is the art OF life,
and it's the art of beauty. Go back to The gar
den gates of Eden, with the curse of God inn
pending over the universe. Mans food to be
delved from the solid earth on every side
thorns and brambles; no cereals, but bitter
seeds no fruits but acid juices; no vegetables,
but poisonous roots no flowers, but single pc
tails. And say, who would be hailed as mans
greatest benefactor--that genius of Horticul-
ture, which through the flower, transformed
acid Juices into wholesome sweets, bitter seeds
into nutritious food, and naked barren ugli-
ness into full robed beauty or every other
art combined, that has sprung up since mans
doom was to earn his bread by the sweat OF his
brow! Horticulture must bear the palm
And we thank God, that we were endowed
with such faculties, that we can bring useful
ness and beauty, from such apparent sterile
sources.
Summer is now upon us, and who does
not enjoy its freshness, and its beauty The
Orchard ladies' the air with sweet perfumes,
and fills the heart with gladness. Who can
doubt the eleEating influences of Horticulture
The cultured flower now expands its petals,
and even the humblest wildings are clad in
beauty. Spring is the Hortieulturalistss hope,
but what would this hope amount to, with
out the spirit of Improvement The ar IS
now loaded with perfumes-from whence
comes these ambient sweets Surely not
from pent up cities, or from dusty work shops,
but from horticultural plains. Now is the
busy season for the H0rticulturist The graft
through its spongy rootiet is uniting with the
foreign stock. The seed, feeling the lnHuen-
ces Of warmth and moisture bursts its capsule,
and comes forth vegetable, tree or flower, to
be nourished into life, and strength and beau

THE FADED ROSE.


Yes, bind that rose upon thy brow,
Thou light;and laughing one,
But think not it will be as now,
When sets yon evening sun.
Tis lovely now, but soon the bic 'om
From It's sweet folds may fade,
A single hour may seal its doom
And join it withthe dead.
To his hall of rest,
In the golden west,
Ere the brilliant CRIB SINKS low,
That blooming rose
Its hue may lose,
Never again to glow, der girl,
Never again to glow.
And human life is like that rose,
A weak and fragile thing;
I'm natures garden fine it grows,
Fann'd by the winds Of spring.
But wint'ry blasts the rifted corn
In angry storms blow through;
Nipp'd by disease its bloom is oer--
1t falls as roses do,
In burning zones,
Though light enthroaes
Thy forehead fair to lave
A world of care
Thy heart may wear,
That bends it for the grave, dear girl
That bends it for the grave.
