VANITY OF LIFE.-The following, from
a late speech of Mr.. Benton, is a touching
exhibition of the vanity of political ambi-
ton.
IL haveg gone througha contest for which
I have no heart, and into which / was
forced by combination against life and hon
or, and from which gladly escape. What
is a seat in Congress to me? have sat
thirty years in the highest branch of Con-
gress, have made aname to which l can
add nothing, and l should only be anxious
to say, what has been gained? ! have do
nestle affections, sorely lacerated in these
latter times, a wife whom / never neglec-
ted, and who needs my attention now more
than ever; children, some separated from
me by the expanse ofocean and continents
by the slender bound which separates time
from eternity. / touch the age which the
psalmist assigns as the limit Of manly life
and must be thoughtless indeed, if 1 dc
not think of something beyond the feetine
and shadowy pursuits of this life, of all O
which / have seen the vanity. What is
nv occupation? Ask the the undertaken
that good Mr.. Lynch, whose face presenI
on SO many mournful occasions, has be-
come pleasant to me. He knows wha
occupies my thoughts and cares; gathering
the bones Of the dead-a mother, a sister
two sons, a g~randchild; planting thecypresI
over assembled graves, and marking th'
spot where I, and those who are most deal
to me are soon 10 be laid"

To DRIvE AWAY RATs.-A friend has
just informed us Of a plan TO get rid of rats.
He took a small fishing hook, attached it to
4 fine wire and suspended on it a piece of
cheese, letting it hang about a foot from the
ground. One Of the rats leaped at it and
was hooked, and set up a horrible squeal,
noise and rattle that all the rest forsook and
fed. Nota rat remained on the premises,
A few days afterwards his neighbor de-
clared that he was visited with a plague
worse than those Of Egypt-that the rats
would surely eat them up, house and all
Our friend enjoyed the joke, but kept sha'

so for the benefit Of his neighbor who, We
hope, takes u paper, and the rest ofmani
kind, we disclose the disclosure withou

AN IMPoRrANr DIscovEhY.-A Paris
Journal says, that the bad smell and taste
of butter can be entirely removed by work
ing it over in water mixed with chloride OF
lime. The discovery was made bya Brus-
sells farmer whose practice is to take a
sufficient quantity Of water to work it in
and putin from twenty-five to thirty drops
of chloride of lime for every ten pounds OF
butter. When it has been worked until
the whole has been brought into contact
with the water, it should DO worked again
in pure water. when it will be found to be
as sweet as when first made.

CRows CAN CoUNr THREE AND NO MORE.
-Af few months since, we were riding in a
stage coach with several gentlemen, when
the conversation turned upon the subject
of crows, and many interesting anecdotes
were related. One gentleman said that he
knew that crows could count-at least as
far as three-for he had often proved it.
Being troubled with crows in the field, had
often attempted to shoot them. But they
knew what a gun was as well as he did,
and therefore kept out of his reach. He
then concluded to put a small booth in the
field, and placed some carron-a dead
horsc-within gun shot. From this place
he supposed he could fire at them when
they alighted to eat. Whenever he would
enter the booth, the crows would all sit up
on the distant trees, and not one would
come near him till he was gone. Then
all would alight, except tho sentinel, who
remained to give warning if danger ap-
preached.
The gentleman, finding his plan to fail,
thought he would deceive them. So he
took his son with him to the booth, con.
Guiding that when they had seen one go a
way, the crows would think the course
clear and descend to the bait. But when
the son left the booth, a crow sung out caw
caw, eau There goes one, but not a crow
would leave Misplace.
The next day the gentleman took two
persons with him to the booth, and ther
let them depart, one at a time. The crows
on the trees saw the first, and cried out
'there goes one," in their own peculiar di
alect; then when the other went, "ther'
goes two;" but they would not alight, TO
they had counted three when they enter
ed.
The day following, the gentleman tool
three others with him. When they wen
out one by one, the crows cried, "ther
goes one"-"there goes two"-"there goe
three" And when these men were out q
sight they all alighted, and the gun ofth
fourth man did its work.
The gentleman stated II at this thing ha
been tried repeatedly, and it was eviden
7 that crows could count rs far as three, bu
! there their arithmetic ended. When the
, will ascend to the higher branches OF math
! ematics is yet to be ascertained. In tn
meantime others can bring on the incident
) of crowology.- OLVe branch.
