Preparing Silk.

The Paris papers announce the discovery
Of process for preparing silk 50 that it may
be produced at cheaper cost even than cot
ton. This discovery had its origin in the the
ory that there is but one creature capable OF
producing silk. and but one description Of
vegetable matter, the mulberry tree, fitted
for that creatures food, aud that therefore
the silky substance must not lie in the animal
but in the vegetable matter. By anGlyzng

boiling it to thick paste, every description

GONE.
BY J. O. WHITTIER.

| BYJ. O. WHITTIER.
Another hand is heckoning us,
Another call is given;
And glows once more with angel steps
! The path which reaches Heaven.
Our young and gentle friend, whose smile
| Made brighter summer hours,
] Amid the feasts of Autumn time
Has left US with the flowers. E.
No paliug of the cheek of bloom
Forwarned US of decay;
No shadow from the Silent Land
Fell round our sisters way.
The light of her young life went down,
Al sinks behind the hill
/ The glory of a setting star,
denly, and still.
and sweet her fair brow seemed,
.al as the sky;
like the brooks low song, her voice
would not de-
deemed she needed not
.nanging Of her sphere,
give to heaven shining one,
Who walked an angel here.
The blessing Of her quiet life
Fell on us like the dew;
And good thoughts, where her footsteps
Like fairy blossoms grew. [presSed,
Sweet prompting unto kindest deeds
Were in her very look
We read her face as one who reads
A true and holy book.
The measure of a hymn,
To which our hearts could move;
The breathing Of an inward psalm,
4 canticlo Of love.
We miss her in the place of prayer,
And by the hearth fires light
We pause beside her door to hear
Once more her sweet Good night"
There seems a shadow on the day,
Her smile no longer cheers;
A dmness on the stars Of night,
Like eyes that look through tears.
Alone unto our Fathers will
One thought hath reconciled;
That he whose love exceedeth ours
Has taken home his child.
Fold her, o Father, in thine arms,
And let her henceforth be
A messenger Of love between
Our humble hearts and Thee.
Still! let her mild rebukipg stand
Between us and the wrong,
And her dear memory serve to make
Our faith in goodness strong.
And grant that she whose trembling here
Distrusted all her powers,
May welcome to her hOler homo
The wcll-beloyed Of ours.

Border Ruflia nism in OhiO-An Anti-Sla- =
very Meeting Broken up by Virginians.

A correspondent OF the lronton Register
writing from Quaker Bottom. under date of
the 18th inst saws Last Friday evening
at the close of an anti slavery meeting in
this place, when most Of our people had dis
persed. we were assailed by band of men
from Virginia, armed with clubs. We were
not expecting such an attack and We're en-
tirely unprepared for it, One of our men,
A. S. Proctor, was assaied first with a club
and then with an axe, the assailant swear
ing he meant to kill him others shouted
kill him. Cd d--n him, kill him" !"
and when upon the ground struggling with
his adversary, he was struck over the head
with rail. and doubtless would have been
killed had he not been saved by his friends.
Henry Radford received blow upon the
forehead from a rock cutting it very severe,
". Rev. Mr.. Adams received heavy blow,
inuring him considerably. A young man,
Nathaniel Hall was knocked down two or
three times, Others received blows. my
self was struck upon the h .ad with club,
prostrating me upon the earth, injuring my
head considerably from which | am now
suffering.
Although inferior in point of numbers and
without weapons, we succeeded IN defend
ing ourselves so that not one was killed.
though the most fiendlikp efforts were made,
the most horrid threats and imprecations ut
tered, and yeIls that certainly must have
been heard at long distance.
During the af'ray the mob were hailed
from the other side to know if they wanted
help, thus evidently showing that it was a
preconcerted thing.
They dared us to hold another meeting
saying they would come over in numbers
sufficient to whip the whole of us. And
am informed that they now say if mel
enough cannot b. raised in Guyandotte. they
can be procured from the country, and tha
we must certainly be put down.
