NATURES SoNG IN THE N1eHr.-Night
hath its songs. Have you never stood by
the seaside at night, and heard the pebbles
sing and the waves chant Gods glories? Or
have you never risen from your couch, throw
up the window of your chamber, and listen
ed thereP Listened to what? Silence
save now and then murmuring sound,
which seemed sweet music then. And have
you not fanoied that you heard the hand Of
God playing in heaven? Do you not con-
ceive that you stars, that those eyes of God,
looking down on you, were also mouths o.
song-that every star was singing Gods glo-
ry, sing as it shone, its mighty maker, and
his lawful well deserved praise? Night hath
its songs. We need not much poetry in our
spirit to catch the song of night, and hear
the spheres as they chant prases which are
loud to the heart, though they be silent to
the ear--the praises of the mighty God,
who bears up the unpillared arch of heaven,
and moves the stars in their courses.-Spur-
geon.

PLAIN WORDS.

Yet the theme is one that will admit of
much more being added, particularly as new
incidents and illustrations are occurring every
day, tending to show the absurdity and even
sinfulness of the practices of some persons In
this respect. Our thoughts were called to
this subject, at the present time, by hearing
the rather plain words used by two or three
persons in a conversation, a part of which
was after the following fashion:
"What a pityw exclaimed one, that we
could not have little rain about this time"
"Well, yes" responded another, +" it would
be decidedly pleasant"
Now the fact was, that for one or two weeks
previous to that time, it had rained quite fire.
quently, indeed, almost every day; and the
individuals aforesaid, feeling inclined to
grumble or complain at the ever wise and
perfect operations Of nature, vented their sin
full thoughts in that language.
We were panied to hear such impiety; for
of all sins, that of speaking lightly or disre-
specially of power and wisdom that is far
above our comprehension, and SO far as we
can understand, wisdom that is invariably
for the best, seems to us at once the most
monstrous and unnatural. But how often do
we hear such language. Should the wealth
er be too cold or hot, wet or dry, to suit
the fancy of some over-fastidious person,
forthwith serious complaint is instituted,
by which, as a natural inference, we are led
to conclude that if the belligerent individual
in question had the reins of government in
has hands, all things would be put to rights
in an incredible short space Of time.
Put to rights! We have sometimes, when
listening to such grevious mutterings, almost
wished that the fellow could take hold of the
Helm that guides the mysterious motions Of
the earth, and have an opportunity to dis
play his wisdom. We should WISH however,
to be on some other planet at the time when
the hazardous experiment was to be tried
We would be contented to stand on the
mountains of the moon, or even take seat
on board the cratic comet, rather than risk
our neck on what we now consider terra-frma,
and from our station there behold the opera
tions of the self-wise navigator.
Perchance no unthought of difficulties
no unknown obstacles, would occur to OBJ
struct his flight. There might no hidden
secrets appear disclosed too late for his pro-
vision. There might be no enigma in the
mysterious machinery that moves the uni
verse-no completely to perplex-no arcana
of knowledge to be unsealed All NIGH,

ly; the antipodes might rejoice under his adj
ministration, and all nature smile and -four.
ish as gaily as ever-but we doubt it. We
would decidedly prefer to take passage or
some planet that was to continue under the
guidance of God whose intelligence created
and whose wisdom perfected, thus far, the
harmonious motions and relations of matter

MTCu Cows.-Thc great cause which rem.
dcrS milk poor, that is, dcpriveS it of the
prop!r quantity of butter. is the respiration
of TOO great an amount Of oxygen. This gas
combines so easily with butter, that it is of
great importance to prevent an excess from
entering the body, The number of respir,-
tons is imcrcas cd either by exercise or by
external cooling-hence more oxygenin these
cases enter the system. and consumes a
proportional quantity of the butter Of the
milk. When COW runs on her way home
to be MIXED, the milk becomes hot, and is
prone to sourness. The running increases
the numbe: Of her respirations, and consc.
quently, the amount Of oxygen which enters
her system. This oxygen unites with the
butter, or, in common language, burns it:
and the heat produced in the milk is the re-
suit of the combustion of the butter The
milk. in such case, is also reduced in vol
uIne, which is partly owing to evaporation
of its water by means of the heat thus pro-
duced hence it is that such milk is poorer
than usual, and apt to enter into acidity;
hence also the practice of driving home to be
MIXED only those cows which feed near home.
while those at distance from it are MIXED
in the field. The amount of oxygen inhaled
being too consi derable when the animals
are driven from distance, the butter is partly
consumed. To obviate an excessive respira-
ton ofoxygen. cows should be permitted to
walk home as lcisurely as they are inclined.

Use of the Dictionary.

The reader may discover by the following
extract, that it would be possible to write a
technically grammatical sentence which would
be unn,clligiple. Fireworks below canal be
found in the dictionary, and all are gramma-
ticaly used: and yet the thing is as hope
lcssly dark as if written in Cherokee. 1t is
an amusing illustration Of the fact, that one
may write English. or speak it, aud still use
an unknown tongue. Tie letter purports
to he note from an author to critic:

NIcAEAGUA.-The Nicaraguans do not
seem to be very wildly impressed with the
President of that damaged Republic. Accord
ing to a correspondent Of the Tribune. they
mean TO treat the ex-fi,liblster President as
if he had no claims at all, and they were not
afraid Of his presenting any at any very early
period. The correspondent says that all the
principal men of Nicaragua have united and
sent representatives to Leon, where meeting
has been held at which it was mutually and
cordially agreed that General Martinez, who
is a Grcnsdino. should be acting President for
eight months, and Gra. Jerez Minister of War
and Commander-in Chief of the army for the
same period at the end of which time gen.
eral election is to take place for the choice of
President by the people.

EMIGRATION FROM misunderstanding
TO the Canada papers emigration from Can
nda to the Western States continues, and is
increasing to an extent sufficient to excite
alarm among the people of the provinces,
o.using the more than defamation of the pop.
ulation in certain districts. The Pays"

Six young men left for the Western States
yesterday. They were almost The only ones
remaining in the parish over twenty years of
age. All the others have left during the last
two years. have been truly alarmed at
seeing in the churches only old people and
young ones under fifteen years of age. Few
persons have any idea of the extent of this
emigration. You may think that | exag.
gerate. but I assure your that have cstab.
lishcd the correctness Of the fact that. in the
ntighboring parishes as well as in this, in a
concession possessing sixty families, may

bands have left them 10 go to the United
States. In many concessions there is not a
single young man old enough to marry"
In view of these facts, the journals Of
Lower Canada are urging that measures
should be taken to encourage immigration
from Fire nee, and also to induce young French
Canadians to remain in the country.

THE ORIGIN OF CRY FIRES A recent case
of fire in this city, which WAS investigated by
the fire chief disclosed the fact that lot of
cotton yarn used about factory. and satura-
ted with oil, had, on being exposed to the
sun, Ignited spontaneously. Cohagrations
originating from instances like this are much
more common than the public suppose; and
indeed we are convinced that before the ap.
pointment of an investigating department
many fires, whose mysterious occurrence in
places where neither lamps or stoves were
used, were erroneouly attributed to the incen-
