A GOLDEN THoUGHr.-We know not
the author IF the following, but it is
one of the most beautiful productions
we have ever seen:
Nature will be reported. All things
are engaged in writing her history
The planet, the pebble goes attended by
its shadow. The rolling rock leaves
its scratches on the mountain; the river,
its channels in the soil; the animal, its
bones in the stratum; the fern and leaf,
their modest epitaph in the coal. The
falling drop makes its sepulchre 10 the
sand or stone; not foot steps into the
snow, or along the ground, but prints
in characters more. or less lasting a map
of its march; every act of the man in
scribes itself on the memories of its fel-
lows. and in his own face. The air is
full of sound-tbe sky of tokens; the
ground is all memorands and signatures,
and every object is covered over with
hints which speak to the intelligent.

EThe sandusky (ohio) Repiste

@The Sandusky (ohio) Register
has the following:
New FEATURE IN THE PRODUCE
TRADE. is reported that large
amounts of gold have been received
from Europe, and sent into Wisconsin,
Illinois, and Canada for the purchase Of
provisions for the army in the East
The purchases are kept, as far as possi-
BILE, a secret, and are made through
American houses, yet the fact of the
deposit of foreign gold has transpired,
and it is the general belief that the pur-
chases are on English and French ac-
count. The Oswego Times says ga con-
siderable quantity of Bank of England
notes have been sold lately in this mar
ket, and it is thought they were sold by
the parties concerned in these Western
purchases. 1t is known that several
Greek firms have had agents in this city
for the purchase of grain and provisions,
and as the Greek merchants transact
their business with extraordinary secrecy
and closeness, there is little doubt but
that these transactions have been done
by them" This adds confirmation to
the report, and it must be regarded as
quite the truth. What effect it will
have on our home markets may be
guessed. The price of flour, ere the
next harvest, may reach higher figures
than $40 per barrel.

MoRMoNs IN UTAH.-Some yery
amusing letters from Utah have lately
been written by new saints and publish
ed in Chicago papers. One lately ac-
CURED brother is in raptures with the
institution of polygamy. He has three
wives; the latest, he says, which he took
three months ago, is from Hamburg,
Germany. She is larger than either
Sarah Ann or Elizabeth, (the name of
my second wife, and 1 say it without
invidiousness or improperly, is decided
ly handsome. Her person is of good
size, very round, full chest, bright
faxen hair, and a soft blue eye. She
enters on the duties of her new situation
with wonderful alacrity, and is very
happy, as are also Sarah Ann and
Elizabeth. You may be surprised at
this, but you will be still more so when
l assure you that all of my present
wives are anxious that l should get an
other-one who is fitted by education,
and physically adapted, to take charge
of the business of the dairy. With such
an arrangement of my household, every
of a well organized estab-
lishment, on a patriarchal scale, would
have head to it, and be governed in
order. l have no inclination to comply
on my own account, as am well salts
fed with those I now have; but if 1
should do so, it will be entirely out of
regard for them. Ny daughter Louisa

UPRIGHT MEN.-We love upright
men. Pull them this way and the
other, and they only bend, but never
break. Trip them down, and in trice
they are on their feet again. Bury them
in the mud, and in one hour they would
be out and upright. You cannot keep
them down-you cannot destroy them.
They are the salt of the earth. Who
but they start any noble project. They
build our cities, whiten the ocean with
our sails, and blacken the heavens with
the smoke of their cars. Look to them,
young men, and catch the spark of their
energy.

WHAT A BoMB-sHKLL CAN Do.-Round
shot and shells were perpetually whiz-
zing through the air by day and night,
falling in all directions, amongst and
through the houses of the city. By
night the shells assumed magnificent
appearance, resembling so many shoot
ing stars. though, alas! far more fOrmid-
able. One day number of US were
viewing the scene of destruction from a
battery erected on the summit of high
hill. Whilst we anxiously observed the
amount of damages committed by the
shells, there arose suddenly from the
centre of the fort, what at first appeared
to us huge mound of earth, which
generally increased in size, until it re-
sembled hill some six hundred feet in
height; then it most imperceptibly
changed, and assumed the appearance
of an excessively dark thunder-cloud,
which eventually spread far and wide,
concealing both fort and town from our
wonder-struck gaze. A few minutes
elapsed, and it entirely enveloped the
position we were occupying, although
one hundred yards from the explosion.
This terrific catastrophe originated in
one of our shells unfortunately bursting
in powder-magazine containing several
tons of combustible ammunition. The
sublime spectacle that ensued will never
be effaced from my memory, nor, l i'm
agine, from any one who witnessed the
sight. For several minutes the atmos-
phere continued very close, not even a
breath of wind stirring, but death
like stiffness prevailed, precisely similar
to that which precedes a Scinde dust
storm. All the guns ceased fring-all
eyes were directed upwards, gazing with
awe at the scene thus suddenly pre-
sented to them. Men even addressed
each other in a whisper.-Janes' VolUn-

NOVEL MODE OF ExEcUTIoE.-At
Montevideo, South America, they sew
up their prisoners closely in wet hide,
leaving out the head and neck only, and
then lay him on the ground in the sun
to dry. In the process of drying, under
the powerful effects of the sun, the hide
becomes contracted, and produces the
most excrncisting death.

When Freedom, from her mountain
height
Unfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dies
The milky baldric of the skies,
And stripped its pure celestial white,
With streakings of the morning light;
Then, from his mansion in the sun,
She called her eagle bearer down;
And gave into bis mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rear's aloft thy legal form,
To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
And see the lightning lances driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thunder-drum of Heav.
en-
Child of the SUM to thee 'tis given
To guard the banner of the free;
To hover in the sulphur smoke;
So ward away the battle stroke;
And bid its blendings shine afar,
Like rainbows on the cloud of war,
The harbingers of victoryl
Flag of the bravel thy folds shall fly,
The sign of hope and triumph high.
When speaks the signal trumpet tone
And the long line comes cleaning on
Ere yet the life blood, warm and wet,
Has dimmed the glistening bayonet-
Each soldiers eye shall brightly turn
To where thy sky born glories burn;
And, as his springing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the
glance.
And, when the cannon-mouthings loud
Heave in wild wreaths the battle shroud,
And CORY sabres rise and fall
Like shoots of fame on midnight's pail,
Then shall thy meteor glances glow,
And covering foes shall fall beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger of death.
Flag of the seal on oceans wave
Thy stars shall glitter Ger the brave.
When Death, careering on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round each belIied sail,
And frightened waves rush wildly back,
Before the broadside's reeling rack,
Each dying wanderer of the sea
Shall look at once to Heaven and thee;
And smile to see thy splendors fly,
In triumph, Ger his closing eye.
Flag of the free hearts hope and home!
By angel hands to Valor given!
Thy stars have let the welkin dome,
And all thy hues were born in Heaven,
Forever float that standard sheet!
Where breathes the foe but falls be-
fore us,
With Freedoms soil beneath our feet,
And Freedoms banner streaming Ger
us?

pect seems rather gloomy, as no fore
sight has been shown in the matter, and
everything remains to be done. The
order for this large number of tools
with which to construct this large num-
Der of buildings is dated the 18th of
November, and was not received in
Constantinople until the 18th. The
list of articles required is of enormous
length, and is totally beyond the cspa-
bilities of this part Of the world to
furnish them. Orders will be sent of
to Malta and other places, and with
great efforts the thousands Of trowels
and hammers, and she hundreds of
thousands of nails may be furnished
within a month from the present time.
The wood'will not be forthcoming even
at so early a date, and the loss of so
large a portion of our transports will
still further retard operations. Then
comes the period necessary for the con-
struction, which will not be less than
three or four weeks, considering the
difficulty of bringing everything six
miles along an uneaven road. In short,
l am assured that the troops will proba-
bly, not be in their huts for nearly three
months, and that they cannot by any
means have them ready in less than two.
They will, therefore, have to brave the
fury of the elements and the cold of
the Russian hills until at least the mid
die of January. without any protection
but that of their tents, already much
injured by the storm of the l4th. This,
added to the destruction of the stock of
winter clothing in the Prince, makes
their position one not to be looked for

For the Lewisburg Clron
To kill Weeyil in Wheat.

In considering the vast Importance and
the present bright prospect for the Wheat
crop, the danger Of its loss by Weevil will
obirudc itself most painfully upon every
observing mind. Any means to prevent its
ravagcs, will be hailed with JOY by millions.
4 gentleman states that he last ye,r

prevented the ravages of Weevil by the
following means: Just as the Wheat was
Jeyinning to head out, he sowed at the rate
of one bushel Stacked lime to the acre
among his Wheat, or at least portion of
it. Wherever he sowed the lime, the wheat
was not at all injured by the Weevil
wherever the lime was not sown, the
Weevil was very destructive.
l submit to your readers whether this
remedy does not seem to be reasonable,
and so simple, as to be worth trying-re-
memoering all the while that if it should
fail, still the lime upon your land will not
be lost, but will, in its benefit to future
crops, pay costs If not too late l hope
your readers will TRY IT
TO PREVENT THE FLY.
A former remedy successfully used in
some sections to prevent the ravagcs Of the
Fly in Wheat, was as follows: Sowa peck Of
Oats in the Fall with every bushel Of
Wheat the Oats will start first, grow fast
est, and the Fly will be first attached to it.
The frost will kill oats, fly, anl all, and
the d9caying oats will act as a cover to the
Wheat, and also afford it nutriment.
This, like the former experiment, is very
easy, and wants very little of either labor
or material, and might therefore be tried
next Fall: to the satisfaction every one Of
himself.

The state Of the siege remains in al re-

was well supplied with luxurics as well as
nccessarics. Some fever and cholera still
prevailed.

of the 10th, in which the loss was consid-

On the 10Th the Russians made sortie
against the left attack The Russians
charged up the British trenches, and some
leaped over the parapets and were bayon-
eted. The loss was severe. The British
lost captain, and over one hundred men
were put hors du con,Ldt.
On the 18th Gortschakoff telegraphs ::
''Thc encmy's fire is weak our losses

states that the French attacked the Rus
