THERE'S GOOD IN EVERY HEART

Wouldst thou win the crime stained wand'rer ba
From Vices dark and hideous track?
Let not frown thy brow deform;
Twill add but fierceness to the storm.
Deal kindly. In that bosom dark
Still fingers Virtues gimmcring spark.
Plead with limits the nobler part
There's something good in every heart
Bring to his mind the early time,
Ere sin had stained his soul with crime;
When fond affection blessed his hours
And strewed his joyous path with flowers;
When sportive jest and harmless glee
Bespoke spirit pure and free.
Plead with limits the nobler part
There's something good in every heart
There was a time that heart did rest
Close to a mothers yearning breast
A time his ear the precepts caught
A kind and virtuous father taught.
1t matters not what treacherous ray
First lured his steps from Virtues way
Enough to know thou yet may'st save
That soul from sins engulphing wave.
Plead with him-act the nobler part
There's something good in every heart!

TREATMENT OF ToMAToEs.-During the early
part of the growth of tomatoes, the surface of
the soil should DO frequently disturbed. When
they have set their fruit they may be shortened
in, and it may be deferred until the fruit is half
size when it may be readily observed tba. 80
per cent Of the fruit is within Is inches of the
ground, while 80 per cent of the vine or bush is
beyond that distance. The vine, therefore,
should be trimmed in within half an inch of the
tomatoe nearest the end of each branch. This
will admit sun and air freely, and altho' 10 per
cent of the tomatoes that might have grown will
be taken away, still the greater portion will be
greater in weight, and measure, than if the vine
had not been shortened in. Tomatoes are also
several days earlier by this treatment.

WORTHY OF THoUGHT--A short time ago,
says pastor, tried to make my people see un-
der what embarrassment many professors void
find themselves, on arriving at Heaven. sup.
posed that crowd of glorfcd spirits would
gather round the new conner to learn what was
doing for the extension Of the Redeemer's king
dom, but that many would be as ignorant of
these matters, as they were of what was passing
in the moon. "But were there no papers pub
Used to give you information on this subject 2"
"Yes, but we did not feel interest enough to
take them"
"Had you no monthly concert, where intelli-
gence was communicated, and prayer offered for
the conversion Of the world 7"
"Such meeting was held, almost at our door,
but we were never in the habit of attending
them"
Could Christians only look at this matter now
as they will see it in the light of eternity, be-
lieve that our monthly concerts would be our
most crowded meetings, and the annual receipts
of the board would soon reach half million dol
lars. Journal.

PANT-lt has been announced several times,
during the past few years, that beds of excel
lent mineral Paint have been discovered in the
vicinity ofthis city. This intelligence gave much
satisfaction to the community, of course, as it
added another to the great natural advantages
possessed by Grand Rapids. Quite recently it
was stated by our contemporaries, that Barton &
Wells had come across a bed of mineral paint,
and that they intended to enter largely into its
manufacture. But, as in the case of previous
announcements,th the discoverers have been DOOM
ed to bitter disappointment. A chemist of this
city has analyzed the so.caled Paint, and arri-
we'd at the conclusion, that it would mix with
oil but as soon as the oil dried up, the paint
would wash of, just as so much clay or mud.
We regret that success and a"pile" fail to be
the reward of the discorererS.

A CRUEL IMPosTER.-The Boston Herald re-
ports the case Of " A Husband for Day." in
which "Californa widow" residing at st. AL
bans VT, received bearded refugee from the
land Of gold as her own legitimate and longed
for "sposa," the resemblance between the two
being sufficiently strong to deceive her, after
an absence of five years on the part of her liege
lord The scoundrel had known the lady's hus-
band in California, and became familiar with the
Incidents of his life, concerning which he talk
ed feelingly during the day and night that he
spent in the lady's company. During the con-
gratuatory visits Of friends on the day succeed
ing his arrival, one known in the neighborhooG
also arrived from San Francisco, who proved to
the lady's satisfaction that her husband was
still in California, and caused the imposter to
be arrested and indicted for assault and bate
ry." Queer-and wicked! The more so, thaS
the fellow had actually obtained possession of
$4,000 recently remitted by the veritabe hus-
band.

Who RECEIVE THE MOST LETTERS ?-The
April number of the New York Quarterly Re-
view has an article on the " Post office Improve
ments," in which it is stated that the Boston peo-
pie annually average about thrty.three letters
each those in New York about twenty.four; in
Philadelphia, fourteen; New Orleans about six
teen and in Baltimore ten. In the aggregate
of the large cities of the United States there is
an annual average of about twenty letters to
each person. In the country districts there are
only about three letters annually to each per-
son, and in the whole U. 8. about four to each
person.

The LARGEST DIAMOND EVER FOUND IN N.
AMERIcA-Wew were shown yesterday, on board
the steamship Jamestown what is said to be the
largest diamond ever discovered in N. America.
1t is about the size of large hazel nut, of great
brilliancy and quite smooth In the centre oft
however, are several small black specks. twas
found several months ago by laboripg man ma
med Benjamin Moore, at Manchester, Va, in
some earth he was digging up. The diamond
was put in furnace for melting iron at Rich
mond where it remained in a red heat two hours
and twenty minutes. 1t was then taken out and
found to be uninjured and brighter than ever. 1t
was valued in Richmond at $4,000. The finder
of the prize is poor man with a family.
