Mahometan honesty is what strikes the
Christian in the East more forcibly than any
other trait of character. There seems 10 be
no distress so deep, and no temptation so great,
as to induce follower of the Prophet to take
what does not belong to him, or in any pecu
mary way to wrong friend or foe. The his
tory of human society does not show an in
stance where the teachings of any one man
have made such lasting impressions as Ma
homets in this particular. Centuries have
passed since he has gone, but his standard of
honesty has not been lowered among his fol-
lowers-and no Christian community in Eu-
rope or America, can in this, begin to COM
pare with them. Theft is crime unknown
to them and but one single instance of rob-
berry has happened in Turkey for twenty years.
A recent writer speaking upon this point says:
While travelling, it is not uncommon to
see Janissary enter the Cafe, heave several
bags of gold in corner, and 60 out TO sleep
with his horse! A merchant. returning from
Constantinople to Smyrna, travelling early in
the morning, saw horse tied to an olive tree,
and several bags lying on the ground. Curl
osity led him to examine them-he found that
they all contained gold, and that several of the
pieces had nearly worked through the CLOTH
On looking around, he saw Janissary at some
distance in profound sleep. Friend, said
the merchant, on waking him, whose gold is
that!' Il have the charge of it, was the re-
ply. But are you not afraid to leave it there!'
No. said the Janissary, sit can't run away
'But travellers may steal it, said the Frank
They can't stealH, replied the Turk, .for it

FINE FOR PRoFANE SwEARING.-In the town
of Liberty, in Texas, fine of $25 is imposed
upon every man who utters an oath in the pres
ence of woman. II would be still better if
the punishment were extended TO those who
commit the offence in the presence of their
children. To any one who has son or
daughter, it is painful to pass along our streets,
and witness the profanity which tender child

Earn before Won snend.

Boswell, in his life of johnson, tells story
OF Mr.. Layton, an acquaintance of the grea,
photographer. who maintained household in
style of elegance and even luxury, apparent
ly far beyond his means, simply because he
never purchased anything until he had the mon
ey to give for it, The celebrated John Ran
dolph is well known to have said, that there
was one maxim worth mure than all others, for
the conduct of life and tina, it was pay as you
co. As the experiences ofevery man, who has
lived to the age Of forty comedies with this
opinion, II seems, at first, astonishing that so
many people fall into pecuniary difficulties in
consequence Of spending before they earned
But, in the flush of youth, present enjoyment is
nearly all we think Of; The future is dismissed
wiih shrug; every effort is made to forget
the cold counsels of wisdom. Ii requires,
therefore. that the great truth which we have
at the head Of this article, should Be constantly
eb.Fuded on the public mind, and should be en-.
fprced again and again. Nat only individuals
indeed, but stales, nations and communities o
every size, suffer by neglscting This golden
maxim.
-s Why are so many persons complaining thai
money is 'iighr Because they have ei,her
been spending what they have DO. earned
or have debtors, who having done so, are una
Bile TO pay up. In short all our existing evils
can be traced back, directly or indirectly, to the
violatioa of this maxim. There is no touch

The Stars.

From the German Of Emanuel GeibeI, translated ]
the BibiiothecG SGcrG.
Pious lambkins are the stars,
Born DER azure fields to roam,
With their gentle guardian. Night,
In their own eternal homes
Silver lilies are the stars,
Which their petals e'er unroll,
Waves of slumber-dust to pour
Der thetired and weary soul.
Sacred tapers are the stars,
Round the altar shining bright,
When the dome of heaven is filed
With the shades of holy nights
No they're silver letters all
In the Fathers book above;
An angel-hand has written there
Countless songs of heavenly love

In DR.. Franklin's time, when the King of
England sent some of his conv;cts over to this
country, DIR. F. sent box of rattIesnakes to
his Majesty's Prime Minister, advising that
they be introduced into his Majesty's gardens
at Kew, and expressing the hope that they
would propagate and increase until they should
become as beneficial to Great Britain as the
British convicts were to this country.

He only is worthy of esteem that knows
what is just and honest, and dares to do it !;
that is master of his own passions and scorns
to be a slave to another's. Such an one mer-
its more respect than those gay things who

The Best Estate.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.

by CHARLES SWAIN.
The heart il hath its own estate
The mind it hath its wealth untold,
1t needs not fortune to be great.
While there's a coin surprising gold.
No matter whish way fortune leans,
Wealth makes not happiness secure;
A little mind hath little means
A narrow heart is always poor.
Stern Fate the greatest still enthralls,
And Misery has its high compeers;
For Sorrow enters palace halls,
And queens are not exempt from tears.
The princely robe and beggar's coat,
The scythe and sword, the plume and ploug h
Are in the grave of equal note
Men live in the eternal "Now!"
Still disappointment tracks the proud,
The bravest meath defeat may fall;
The high, the rich, the courtly crowd
Find there's calamity for all.
lis not the house that honor makes
True honor is thing divine;
It is the mind precedence takes
1t is the spirit makes the shrinel
So keep thou yet generous heart,
A steadfast and contented mind;
And not till death consent to part
With that which friend 70 friend doth bind.
What's uttered from the life within
Is heard not by the life without;
There's always something to begin
'Twixt life in faith and life in doubt.
But grasp thou Truth-though black appears
The rugged path her steps have trod-
She'll be thy friend in other spheres;
Companion in the world of God.

REAL NEW ENGLAND BROWN
BREAD

Take equal proportions ofsited rye and
Indian meal, mix them well together; add
half a iea-cup full of molasses, and two
gills ofgood yeast, to about three quarts of
mixed meal. We this with good new
milk, sufficient to make a dough that can
be easily worked even with one hand.-
For economy's sake, milk that has stood
twelve hours, and from which the cream
has been taken, may be substituted for
the new milk; or water that has been
pressed from boiled squash. or in which
squash has been boiled, is a much better
substitute than pure water. But warm
water is more commonly used.
The ingredients should be thoroughly
mixed, and stand, in cold weather, for
twelve hours: in warm weather two hours
may be sufficient before baking. Ifbaked
in a brick oven, a three quart loaf should
stand all night. The same quantity, in
three baking pans, will bake in about
three hours. Serve this warm from the

THE DISCOREA BATATAS.

This new potatoe, commonly called the
Chinese polaioe, which is so much herall-
ed just now, may be a good thing. But
we have our doubts about it, for our lati-
tude. Our climate, it seems 10 US, is not
quite adapted 10 its best growth. If our
farmers wish 10 experiment a little. just
a little, with it, we have no objection
But let them not go deep into it, nor build
any great expectation on it. If Morus
M~ultic1ulis, and ether things like it, may
lie dealt in safely at all, it is only when
they are treated very sParingly. We
mean that these remarks should apply 70
The majority Of our farming population.
Those whose location, means and tastes,
are favorable for these experiments, may
make them extensively and wisely. And
when these men, are men of well known
honesty, and when their experiments have
been conducted on such-a scale, and for
so long a time, that their results have the
character Of fixed facts, then their labors
will be of great value. Otherwise, they

WHEAT R N TO CHESS.

Quite a number of the correspondents
Of The iehi9dn Farmer, have been consic-
erably exercised upon this subject during
the past year; and it would seem from an
article in the last number, from NJ. VIM.
Anderson, ofAnn Arbor that the believers
in transmutation have been unable TO find
any among the disbelievers who would
offer a reward Of S25 'to any u that
can produce chess from wheat" Mr..
Anderson asks:
'If the anti-chess gentlemen knew thai
wheat will not turn TO chess, where is the
risk cf offering small premiums to test and
settle this dispute? Bat they appear 10
be unwilling to prove their faith by their
works. We do not wish 10 interfere in
this controversy; but this question having
been thoroughly discussed in our paper
commencing more than twenty years
since, and continued for years, we gave 1t
a very careful examination, and came to
the conclusion, as did a multitude offarm
ers who read that discussion, that Nhea'
could not be made TO turn 10 chess. In
that discussion, one writer, and a very
worthy man, stated that he could pro luce
chess from wheat without difficulty. In
answer to this our venerable and worthy
fiend, David Thomas, of Cayugy, itn7
mediately offered the writer alluded 10, a
reward of $50 if he would do what he
believed hinself able TO do 50 easy
produce chess from wheat. CJl. Chaplin.
of Ontario, also of; red a reward of $50
10 any n who would perform this prod
ICY. Its sufficient 10 say that these re-
were never claimed, although great
were made TO produceth the featneces-
sary 10 obtain them. Following these
examples, and in answer 10 the call of
Mr.. Anderson, we offer a reward Of $50
Mr.. A., or any m else, who will por-
duce TO US o%ccular demonstration that he
has grown chess from wheat. If the be-
Ii e rsintransmutation will set themselves
10 work to "prove'' it, by ~endeavoring 10
the transmission. they will ere
long change their views, or at least con.
vince themselves thatit cannot be proved.
