AN AMUSING SToRY.-A letter from an
officer of the allied fleet, dated April 18th,
tells the following rather good story:
Gone morning, a few days since we saw
a large vessel eight or ten miles ahead, which
we fully believed to be Russian man-of-
war, as she made all sail to get away and
showed no colors, AS we rapidly came up
with her, she took in sail until she was un-
der reefed top-sails-fghting trim-so we
beat to quarters, and the pipe sounded loudly,
Hands bring the ship into action For
some three minutes everything was hustle
casting the guns loose, clearing the decks,
&c. Five minutes more, and every gun was
shotted and primed, and the men standing
with the match-lines in their hands waiting
for the word to fire. Just as we got within
good distance the blackguard ran up Ameri-
can colors, and coolly told us he would have
hoisted them sooner, but he qCGnted to see
hoao 6martIy qre could clear for action. If
our tars did not bless him to the wrong side
of heaven, never believe me-

alludes to their former acquaintance, and to
the deep impression which still remains upon
his mind, from the religious instructions he
had received from him. He says nearly all
the provinces have come under his control
that myriads of men assembled morning and
evening for worship, and to observe the ten
heavenly commandments. But he confesses
with apparent regret, that few of them are
deeply versed in the doctrines of the gospel.
He, therefore urges Mr. r. to come to his
camp, which invitation has been accepted,
and Mr.. R. is now travelling, as chaplain,
10 the army of the revoutonists.
"Mr. Roberts is an original, and we may
say remarkable man. We knew him in our
boyhood. before he left for that great theater
on which he is now acting so distinguished
and extraordinary part. On making pro-
fession of religion in Mississippi, where he
was large planter. he suddenly emancipa-
ted his slaves, leased out his plantation, and
offered himself to the Baptist Board, in Bos-
ton, as a missionary to China. His propo-
sition came so unexpectedly, and he being so
little known, that body of Christians de-
cined to receive him. Nothing daunied by
this refusal, he packed up his trunks and
left for China, as a missionary on his own
been in the service of the Northern and
Southern Baptist Board of Missions; but
never obeyed their orders only when it suited
him.
Mr.. Taylor gives an account of his visit
to the insurgent camp at the city of Chin
Kiang foo. 60 On my way" he says, 90 as
passed along, frequently heard the sound of
people chanting; and inquiring of my at
tendants what was the meaning of these
sounds, | was told that the people were wor-
shipping God, and that it was the hour of
morning worship. lsaw idols thrown down
in all directions as | passed through the
streets, and l was frequently saluted with
the term brother This was perfectly new,
for at Canton the appellation is foreign
devil'' Mr.. Taylor was kindly received
by the chief. He became fully acquainted
with the military resources and ability of
the insurgent army, and entertains strong
conviction of their ultimate success. He
vas satisfied that the people engaged in this
enterprise were sincere worshippers of the
one true GUd that they had sworn TO ex-
terminate idolatry in all its forms, and they
were exceedingly friendly to foreigners
When it is considered that one-third of the
human race is subject to Chinese rule, the
overthrow of the Tartar dynasty, with the
introduction of Christianity among three
hundred and sixty millions of the most en-
| lightehed of all pagan nations, will produce
greater change than the world has yet seen
in its moral government by such MEANS
| And it would seem from reliable accounts
that this event is near at hand.-[ 70. S.

How TO DEcoMPosE BoNEs.-If one lives
IN the city, and has but small yard, with
nice grass plat, and few nice trees and
shrubs, the quantity of manure needed will
not be great. He should throw the bones,
egg shells, &C., of the kitchen into barrel,
and throw on them wood ashes and water,
which will dissolve them without anv smell
and in the course of year make great
deal of the very best manure for all sorts of
fruit trees If he has a large farm or garden
and has access to large quantity of bones,
ne may decompose them as did the neighbor
of correspondent of the New England Far
mer. He made layers of horse manure and
bones alternately, until the pile was several
feet high; this he covered with manure The
pile heated, or fire-fanged, and in short
time no sign of bone could be seen.
Farmers, clean up your door-yards, and by
this process. The manure will be Just he
thing for your turnip patch.-[O. Farmer.

WHEN TO DEADEN OR CUT TrMBER.--The
dark of the moon in June or August is the
best time to kill locust trees. They should
be cut with stumps about three feet high,
which will soon destroy any locust grove.
Cut underground about this height, and in
three years the stumps can be removed read
lily by hand. All other timber should be
glrdled in these months, and the farmer will
never be troubled with sprouts 10. Far.

remedy for the ravages of the wire worm

them outright; it is therefore preferable to
the corn-cob prevention, and quite as easy

THE "FARY LIGHT GUARD'-NEw YORK
SoLD.-0ne of the best g sells" of the sea-
son has just been made in New York. A
report was published in the New York pa
pers, that two companies of Female Lam
GERS were to visit that city, in uniform on
horseback, with bands of music, and Off
cered by men, on Tuesday last. On Tuesday
morning vast crowd collected in the Park
to see them. At the Jersey City Ferry, over
five thousand persons congregated. 1t was
stated that the companies were to come that
way, one from Harrisburgh and one from
Patterson. The front windows were engag-
ed to witness the sight. Barnum got out
bills that they were to visit his Museum in
the afternoon, and the Crystal Palace in the
evening. An engagement to that effect had
been made. The Fairy Lancers did not
come. Late in the afternoon broad grin
spread over the city. The "sell" was ac-
knowledged. Barnum publishes card that
he had nothing to do with it. 1t appears to
have been the work of an unknown person,
who humbugged editors, hotel keepers, Bar
mum and the public. The agent stated that
the young women would, on the occasion Of
this, their first appearance in New York,
wear black velvet boddices and red morocco
gaiters-with high heels

A CURIOUS FAcT.-There is bridge over
the Rhine at Bale, which connects the prin-
cipal city with a smaller town on the other
side, called Little Bale. Between these two
towns, it is said, there was much contention
and local jealousy, of which there is still
remaining a most laughable monument. In
the tower directly facing the bridge is pub
lie clock, and carved image of human
face, whose perpetual business seems to be
to make faces at little Bale. The image has
its mouth a lite open, and is furnished with
long tongue of fiery red color; which is
so connected with the pendulum Of the clock
that every vibration in one direction runs it
out in a threatening, scornful, venomous
brandishing toward Little Bale and the re-
turn stroke draws it in. The device is so
queer. so expressive, ard at the same time so
Iudcrous, that could scarcely refrain from
laughing right heartily in the public thor
oughfare when saw it, and I have felt my
risibilities excited ever since, whenever my

insulted and scorned town of Little Bale.
1t is a singular fact, which will yet lead to
singular results, that Cuvier's arrangement
of the four classes of vertebrate animals

which they are found in the strata of earth.
