RFAuTIFuL sTANzAs.

In my bower go bright as lay last night, .l-5f
The moon through the fresh leaves streaming.
There were sounds in the air, but could not tell
Nor if I was thinking dreaming where
Twas the sound of lutte. to a voice half mute
That sank when l thought it was swelling,
And it came to my ears as ifdrowned in the tears
OF the being whose woes it was telling.
The tones were SO sweet, thought it most meet
They should not be tones of gladenss;
There are notes fine. that. were melody mine
They should only belong to sadness
And the air-creature sang, and the wild Lutte rang
Like a bell, when cherub is dying;
can tell no more. but the tale was of woe,
For the souads were all lost in the signing!
And still it rang on, till the stars were gone,
And the sun through the dew was peeping
When woke in my bower, every leaf every Hover,
Every bud. every blossom was weeping

HIGHER Z

Higher is word of noble meaning, the in
spiration of oil great deeds-the sympathetic
chain that leads link by link, the impassioncd
soul to it's zenith of glory, and still holds its
mysterious object standing and glittering
among the stars.
Higher lisps the infant on its parents
knees, and makes its feeble essay to rise from
the floor--t is the first aspiration of childhood
to burst the narrow confines of the cradle in
which its sweet moments have been passed for
ever.
Higher laughs the proud school boy on his
swing or, as he climbs the tallest tree of the
forrest, that he may look down on his less ad-
venturous companion with flush OF exultation
and over the broad fields of his native village.
He never saw so extended prospect before.
Higher earnestly breathes the student of
philosophy and nature; he has a host of rivals,
but he must eclipse them all. The midnight
oil in his lamp burns dim, but he finds knowl-
edge in the lamps of Heaven, and his soul is
never weary when the last OF them is hid be-
hind the curtains of the morning
And Hig heri his voice thunderstorm when
the dignity of manhood has invested his form.
and the multitude is listening with delight to
his oratory burning with eloquencc and ringing
like true steelin the cause of freedom and right
And when time has changed his locks to sill
yer, and when the world wide renown is hiss
when the maiden gathering flowers by the way
side as he passes and the peasant looks to him
with honor-can he breathe forth from his
heart the fond wish of the past.
HIGHER yet! he has reached the apex of all
earthly honor, yet his spirit burns as warm as
in youth, though with steadier and paler
light, and it would borrow wings and soar up
to high heaven, leaving its tenement to moul-
der among the laurels he has wound around it,
for the never ending glory to be reached only
in the presence of the Most High.

Short Sermon on Money.

Ny hearers-this is not only great but
mysterious world that we live and pay rent
for. All discord is harmony; all evil is good;
all despotism is liberty; and all wrong is right
for Alexander Pope says: 'sWhatever is,
is right" except the left boot, and wanting to
borrow money. You may want sense and the
world won't blame you for it. 1t would glad
ly furnish you with the article, had it any to
spare, but unluckily it has hardly enough for
home consumption. However, if you lack
sense you are we'll enough of after all; for if
you commit yfaur pas, as the French say,
you are let go with the compliment, poor fool
he does not know any better. The truth is, a
great deal of brains is great botheration.-
An empty skull is bound to shine in company,
because the proprietor of it has notwit enough
to know that there is a possibility of making a
nincompoop of himself, and therefore he DASH
es ahead, hit or miss, or generally succeeds
beyond expectation. Let man be minus
brains and plus brass and he is sure to pass
through the world as if he was creased from
ear to ankle; but rig up for him complete
machinery of thought, and it is as much as he
can do to attend to it. He goes to the grave,
rufflud and tunbled, curses life fer its cares
and moseys into eternity pack-saddled with
mental misery. Oh for the happiness Of fools.

ssFAsT'' TINES AND "FAsT" PARTY.-One
Of the most striking evidences of the peculiar
ssvelocity" of the times we live in, is the wri-
ting and publishing obituaries ofpeopIe before
they are dead-in fact while they are in ex-
cellent health and growing in strength every
day. The foreign press is just now teeming
with long and lachrymose notices of the death
of ssSam,'' when in fact that gigantic young
fellow was never more ssalive and kicking
than at this very moment. 'sThe wish is fa-
ther to the thought' with these elegiac wri-
ters. SO far from being dead, ssSam" has no
idea of erer dying. He belongs to the glori-
Gus list of immortals. He couldn't die if he
would, for he has great mission to perform
You may outnumber him for the present,
but you cannot kill him any more than you
can kill truth. He cannot even by annihila-
tion die. Our fast friends Of the ssSocety for
the Propagation of Humbug'' may as well Let

Beauty of the Dutch Women.

Colman, in his european Life and man
ners,'' gives the following description of the
Dutch women:
81 think some of them are the fairest and
handsomest creatures ever looked upon, and
made of unmixed porcelain clay. Before /
left England, I thought the English women the.
fairest had ever seen--I now consider them
as belonging to the colorcd races. The Dutch
women mucn exceed them. Take the fairest
rose that was ever plucked, with the glitter
ing dew drops hanging among its petals; take
the fairest peach that ever hung upon the tree
with its charming blended tints of red and
white, and they are eclipsed by the transpa-
rency and beauty of the Datch women, as /
saw them at Broeck and Saardam. If their
minds are as fair, and their manners as win
ming as their faces, then can easily under
stand the history of Adams fall. 1t was i'm
possible, poor fellow, that he should resist
Then their costume is so pretty and elegant.
A sort of thin gold helmet, fitting close to the
head, leaving enough of the hair TO part grace
fully over the brows thin but wide band of
highly wrought and FURNISHED gold extending
across the forehead at the ends Of this some
rich and elegantly wrought iligree ornaments
of gold, with splendid ear-drops of gold, or of
diamonds, set in gold, with beautiful cap of
the finest Brussels lace.''
Mr.. Colman is right. Fifteen years ago
Dutch woman behind a counter handed s.the
writer glass of beer. and an ostrich egg to
look at, and he has never forgotten her, s'from
that day to this.'' She was all that Mr.. Col
man paints above.-Besfon Post.

New KIND OF SUGAR.-A correspondent Of
the Detroit News gives the following account
of the discovery of new kind of sugar at
Provo city: s.Last week sweet substance
WAS discovered on the leaves of the trees. a
few began TO gather ii by stripping off the
leaves and soaking them in water; in this way
DR.. A. Daniels made eleven pounds of sugar
one day; it looks and tastes like maple sugar.
Many scores of men, women and children, are
now engaged in gathering it. When it was
first discovered some said it was hoaeydew,
others said that it proceeded from the cotton
wood leaves, but it is found on all kinds of
leaves and on the rocks. Ny children have
gathered and brought in a quantity of it, which
they have taken from the leaves, asit is depos-
tied; many of the leaves have scales of this
sweet substance as thick as window glass, and
some great deal thicker"

CHEAP FLOUR THE BEsT.-The New York
Times has recently been discussing question
Of very great Importance TO the consumers OF
-four, and the facts it has elected should DO
universally known. 1t alleges that little reli-
ance is to be placed upon the brands found on
the barrels sold in the market, and that the
words ..cxtra Genesee" do not always indicate
that the barrel bearing them contains the best
quality of flour. 1t bases its assertions on
certain results elected by chemists, viz, that
the whittier the -four the less nutriment it pos
sesses, and the less digestible it is. Dyspeptic
people have to use bread about one-fourth
bran, which proves that the dark part Of the
grain is the most healthful. The -four which
can be bought now for seven and eight dollars
per barrel is stronger and sweeter than the
extra Genesee," but as it is less white it is
generally rejected in favor of the dearsr arti-
Gle. 1t is time that housekeepers understood
this fact, and that they bought -four not to
please the eye, but to crafty the stomach, and
at the same time have respectful reference to
the capacity of ones pocket.

ADVICE TO YOUTH GRArIs.-In climbing a
ladder, always look up-never down-for in
doing the latter fall is imminent. So in life !;
aim to keep company with those above you ra-
ther than with those beneath you in intellec-
tual capacity and requirement. Emulate your
superiors. If you can't find them you are
not fitted for their society, and better at once
turn attention to the dimensions of your ears,
and immerse your muddy faculties in the
mystaries of poudrette, or putty making

EXTRAORDINARY PRoDUCTIoSs.-Ths extra
ordinary effects of the application of Peruvian
guano to certain soils are widely known and
appreciated. But occasionally the results are
startling. On Saturday, Mr.. John Dorrance
brought TO the room of the Corn Exchange
Association some ears of corn, averaging from
1000 to 1900 grains to the ear, the grains be-
ing four or five times the size of ordinary corn.
He also exhibited some large Mercer potatoes,
weighing pound each, and pumpkins, grow
ing six on vine, weighing each l06 pounds.
These remarkable vegetable productions were
grown on the farm of Mr.. Dorrance, at Bell
Mead, Bucks county, the guano used as ma
nure being that imported by Mr.. Samuel J.

BAKED BEETs.--A good housewife assures
that the mode of cooking beets herein de-
scribed, is preferable to all others:-
s.Beet root cannot be too much recommen-
ded to the notice of mankind. as cheap and
salubrious substitute for the now failing and
diseased potato. Hitherto the red kind has
been only used in England as pickle, or a
garnish for salad; even the few who dress it,
generally boil it, by which process the rich
Saccharine juice is lost, and the root conse-
quently rendered less nutritious by the guam
tity of water ii imbibes, as well as by parting
with the native syrup, of which il is thus for
cibly deprived; it is, therefore, strongly rec
commended to bake instead of boiling them,
when they will be found to afford delicious
and wholesome food. This is not an untried
novelty, for both red and white beet root arc
extensively used on the continent; in Italy,
particularly, they are carried about hot from
the oven twice day, and sold publicly in the
streets; thus they are purchased by all classes
of people, and give to thousands, with bread,
salt, pepper and butter, satisfactory NEAL
There are few purposes for which baked, or
even roasted or fried beet root, would not be
found preferable to boiled. fig. Exchange.

a Cheerful Heart.

once heard young lady say TO an individ-
ual, .sfour countenance to me is like the II
sing sun, for it always gladdens me with q
cheerful look. A merry or cheerful counte-
uancc one of the things which Jeremy
Taylor said his enemies and prosecutors could
not take away from him. There some
persons who spend their lives in this world as
they would spend their lives if shut up in
dungeon. Everything is made gloomy and
forbidding. They gomourning and complain
ing from day to day, that they have so little,
and constantly anxious, lest what they
have should escape ont of their hands. They
always look upon the dark side, and can never
enjoy the good. They do not follow the ex-
ample of the industrious bee, who does not
stop to complain that there so many pois-
onous fiewers and thorny branches on its road,
but buzzes on selecting his honey where he
can find it, and passing quietly by the places
where it is not. There is enough in hisworld
to complain about and find fault with, if men
have the disposition.
