HoMELY TRUTHs FOR WIVES. Although
your husband may neglect to give you a
good dress, do not seek revenge by giving
him good dressing. Do not hesitate be-
tween the choice of an expensive mantle
and your husbands S affection the former
may be dearer to your back, but the lat
ter should be dearer to your BOSOM
Should your husband bring friend home
partake of the remains of yesterday s
beef, do not be churish, but let warm
smiles season the cold repast. Prefer
country rambles to town lounges the col
ors of the rose are brighter than the hues
of silks, and the dewdrops outshnes the
jewellers gems. Never deny your hus,
band the pleasure of smoking the cigar
by the fire side, it is the domestic calumet
of peace. Be careful in brewing The cup
which cheers, but not inebriates;' strong
tea is better than weak arguments. The
hand which was pledged at the altar, is
not disgraced in sewing on button; and,
remember as you SOW, so shall you

TING SBGAR.

Tho they've sung in the praises Of woman and win
Both here and in regions afar,
And men in all ages declare them divine,
Yet they'r nought to the fragrant segar
So soothing it is atthe close Of the day,
Casting business and troubles afar,
Each puff seems to hurry some sorrow away,
On the smoke Of your cheerful segar.
If GOODNESS is seen in the friend that youprizc,
And suspicion your friendship would mar,
The cloud that depresscs at once will arise
With the smoke Of the friendly scgar.
If at night you return to your home in pet,
In mood for family jar;
If rid Of the blue devils quickly you'd get,
Blow cloud from the cheering segar.
Tho fortune deserts you, and friendships decay,
Tho Fate seems every joy to debar;
Yet still you may brighten life's glimmering ray,
BY the aid Of the magic segar.

HONOR TO THE PLOW.

Though clouds o'ercast our native sky, +"
And seem to cloud the sun,
We will not down in languor lie,
Or dream the day is done;
The rural arts we loved before,
No less we cherish now,
And crown the banquet, as Of yorC,
With Honor to the Plow,
In these fair fields, whose peaceful spoil
To faith and hope are given,
Well seek the prize with honest toll,
And leave the rest to heaven.
Well gird us to our work like men,
Who owe holy vow,
And if in joy we meet again,
Give Honor to the Plow.
Let art arrayed in magic power,
With labor, hand in hand,
Go forth, and now, in pcril's hour,
Sustain sinking land.
Let never sloth unnelve the arm,
Or fear the spirit cOwci
These words alone should work charm,
All honor to the Plow.
The heath redress, the meadow drain,
The latent swamp explore,
And DER the long expeCtant plain,
Diffusc the quickening store;
Then fearless urge the furow deep,
Up " the mountain brow,
And when the rich rcsultsyo reap
Give Honor to the Plow.
So still shall Health by pasture green
And nodding harvest roam,
And still behind her rustic screen
Shall Virtue find home;
And while their bower the muses. build
Beneath the neighboring bough,
Shall many grateful verse be filled
With Honor to the Plow.

The Process of Coming GoId.


A United States mint has been compile.
ted in San Francisco, and is probably
ere this time in active operation, coming
down daily vast treasures of gold ore
1t was intended that it should be prepared
to coin thirty millions of dollars yearly.
The following description of the system
which is about TO be established there.
will afford god idea OF the ordinary
process Of coming gold
The metal, after being received in the
deposit room, is carefully weighed and a
receipt given. Each deposit is then melt
ed separately in the melting room, and
moulded into bars. These bars next
pass through the hands of the assayer.
who with chisel, chips small fragment
from each one. Each chips then rol ed
into thin ribbon, and filed down until it
weighs exactly ten grains. 1t is then
melted in little cup made of calcined
bone ashes, and all the base metals, cop.
per, tin. &c, are absorbed by the porous
material Of the cup, or carried off by
oxydation. The gold is then boiled in
nitric acid, which dissolyes the silver it
contains, and leaves the gold pure. It's
then weighed, and the amount which it
has lost gives the exact proportion of i'm.
purity in the original bar, and cerlifi
cate Of the amount OF coin due the de.
posilor is made out accordingly.
After being assay ed, the bars are melt.
ed with a certain proportion of silver,
and being poured into diIution Of nitric
acid and water, assume a granulated
form In this state, the gold is thorough.
| ly boiled in nitric acid, and rendered
perIetIy free from silver or any Other
baser metals which may happen to cling
to it. 1t is next melted with one-ninth
its weight Of copper, and thus alloyed
is run into bars, and delivered to the
coiner Tor coinage. The bars are rolled
out in a rolling mill until nearly as thin
as the coin which is 10 be made from
them. BY process of annealing, they
are rendered sufficiently ductile to be
drawn through longitudinal orifice in a
piece OF steel, thus reducing the whole
10 a regular width and thickness.
A cutting machine next punches small
round pieces from the bar, about the size
OF the coin. These pieces are weighed
separately by the "adjusters,' and il too
heavy are filed down-if too light they
are resmelted. The pieces which have
been adjusted are run through milling
machine, which congresses them to their
proper diameter and raises the edge
Two hundred and fifty are miled in a
minute by the machine. They are then
again soAened by the process of anneal-
ing, and after thorough cleaning are
placed in a tube connecting with the
stamping inst ument, end taken thence,
one at a time by The machinery, and
stamped between the dies. They are
now finished, and being thrown into box
are delivered to the Treasurer for circu
lation.
The machinery, Of course, for all these
processes must be OF the incest kind

| it room ol the California mint, cost $1,000
