! BEAUTIFUL ExrRAcT,-The editor Of the
knickeibocker attributes the following to IL Marvel,
and il is certainly worthy Of himi
"Last evening walking Ieisurely along the
music OF the ch"irs in three churches came floating
out INTO the da, kness around Us, and they were all
new and strange tunes but one: and that one-it as
mol sang as we have heard il but it awakened train
of ngbuied mencries that rose to us even as they
were before the cenatry Of the soul had tomb in il.
sit was The sweet old sCorinth' they were singing
strains we have seldom heard since the rose color
OF life was blanched; and we were in a moment back
again 10 the old village church, and il was sumner
afternoon, and the yellow sunbeams were streaming
through the west windows and the silver hair of the
old deacon who sat in the poIit, was turned to gold
IN It's light, and the minister, who we used TO think
could never die, Ell good was he, had concluded sap
plcation and 'cxhortalion,' and the village choir
we're singing the last h, mn and the tune was Cor
NTH.
cit is years--we dare not think how many-since
then, and he prayers Of David the son OF JESSE are
ended, and the choir are scattered and gone. The
grI with blue eyes that sang alto, and the girl with
black eyes that sang ar--the eyes Of the one were
like clear June heaven ai noon.
"lhey both became wives, and both mothers, and
they both died. Who shall say they are not singing
Corn,h' still, where Salbaihs never wane ard con-
greSat'ons never break up! There they sat- Sabbath
after Sabbath, by the square column on the right Of
the leader, and TO young ears, their tones were
the 'vcry soul at music That column bears still
their rencilled names, as they wrote them in those
days IN Lies June, 1873, leio cams or changes
had overcome their spirits like summers cloud.
"Alas! that with the old singers most Of the sweet
or tones had died upon the ain; but they linger in
memory, and they shall yet be sung in the sweet re-
union OF song that shall take place by -and-by in a hall
whose COLUMNS are beams Of morning light, whose
ceiling is pearl, whose floors are gold, and where
hair never turns slvcrv, and hearts never grow old
Then she that sang alto, and she that sang air, will
bc IN their plac, Oh &c mo e."
There is capital Of so, 900 900 dollars invested in
the culture OF cane IN the states of Florida Louisiana
and Texas. These states produce annually about
,OOO,0 900 pounds Of sugar besides which foreign
m'orta'i' MS are made To the of $50 900 600
POUNDS. Even IA short crop Of suga: the south
winch reduces the usual production only 100 600 900
or 100000 900 pounds, invariably advances the rate
OF sugar from one to and half Per pound;
which, on the entire consumption Of $50 900, 900
pounds, is equal, at and half, to about TO-
900 900 dollars.
The Richmond, Texas, Recorder, in speaking of
the ravages OF the fever at that place, saws: Turn
tho e!e wherever you will, scarcely solitary human
being can be seen. The county people avoid our
deroruhted town as place accursed. The human
voice, wherever it is occasionally heard in the Streets
to us has strange and unearthly sound. Even the
mock ing bird, that used to commence its laws with
the fist blush of morning in the east il in synpa-
thy with the spiit OF Mature, has ceased to wab!e
from tree or huuse-top its merry note. Solitude is
every where.
Ii is stated that since the Yankees settled in C.l;r
fornia, the climate has undergone a very material
change. Until lately, thunder sound unhnown,
and within the past few months we have met with
native Caliiornians who have never heard the sound
yet, and ram during the dry season unknown

Hour-glasges were formerly mach used in rulpts to
denote the proper length of a sermon. George Her
hc says: "Ihe rarsOn exceeds hon in preach
ing, because all ages have thought that comreten-
cy." All ages bet ours, and we think it a little more
than competency" 1t is said that this custom
was borrowed from The ancient Greek and Roman or
ators, who acclaimed by an hour glass. In many Of
the old records charges for this needfu instrument
for instance, in Christ Church, St. Ca,harine's,
London. under the year 1864, this entry occurs:-
Paid for an hour glass that hanged by the pulpit
when the preacher doth make a sermon that he NAV
know how the hour doth pass away
Indians and mountaneers, from every locality il,
Caou ia, where the beaver abounds report That
these animals, contrary to their movements for the
last seven years, are raising dams around their
ancient habitatIons, more than foot above their com
mon height; and that they have commenced their
work earlier in the season, by at least weeks than
ever before known. From this fact, which is appa-
rent and und disputed, many anticipate early COM
management, aud large quantity Of rain, and of
course, upon the mountains the coming WINTER
than any prev ious since the discovery of gold
in California.
