DIED..

In Tmbuctoo, California, on Saturday April
18th, Mr.. Joseph NJ. Wilcox, son OF the late
Joseph Wilcox aud grandson of the late Ed
ward Wilcox, former Lieutenant Governor
of Rhode Island, aged 3S years.
Like many others yr. Wilcox went to CALI
tornia to improve his fortunes, and has found
in that distant land his grave. lie was engag-
cd in mining, and while occupied in lowering
a sluice, a small body of earth fell upon him,
breaking his neck, and producing instant
death. In the words of friend, who commu-
nicates the tidings of his death -" We buried
him Oh Sunday at II o'clock and had the SER
vice read from his own Prayer Book. more
general attendance have never witnessed in
this country. Everybody liked him much
Mr. Wilcox was well known in this commu-
nifty, where his adult and business life has been
principally spent. Kindly and friendly in his
social relations, attentive to his business, and
sincerely conscientious in all his religious du-
ties, he has passed away by sudden dispen-
sation. leaving society to lament the loss OF
valuable member, and many strongly
attached friends to mourn for their personal
bereavement. An aged mother and two sis
tsrs remain to weep for an only son and broth
er. Yet they "sorrow not as those without
hope, for if we believe that Jesus died and
rose again, even to them also which sleep in
Jesus will God bring with him" V.

THE CRoPs.-The Dayton (Ohio)
Journal says the late rains have had a
wonderful effect upon the growing wheat
and fields that were supposed to afford
but little prospect for crop, now give
promise of fair, if not an abundant
yield The prospect ola fine crop of
fruit, is most favorable.
The Knoxville Wing says an unusu-
ally large amount of wheat has been
sown in East Tennessee, and if the sea-
son is good from now till the harvest,
there will be a great crop. The pro-
duet of thirteen counties will probably
be worth two millions of dollars.
From all parts of Texas most favora
bic reports of the growing crops arc now
received Cotton, corn and wheat all
appear well, the sugar cane is growing
finely, and large crop is anticipated
1t is expected that hall million bushel.
of wheat will be raised in the wheat
growing section.

FAIRBANKs' SCALEs.-Thc Mcssrs
Fairbanks, Of Vermont, the original in
ventor of these scales, have given their
entire attention for thirty years or more,
to improving and perfecting them, and
adapting them to all the various uses
for which scales are wanted, till they
have come to be very generally regard
ed as the standard, not only in this
country, but in all foreign countries to
which American enterprise has carried
our commerce. As striking indica-
ton of the very high estimation in which
they are every where held by business
men, we are informed that some other
makers, in order to make their own
scales sells more readily, make them to
resemble, Fair banks as nearly as can be
in external appearance, but in appear
ance only represent that they have Sc
cured the services of some of the Messrs
Fairbanks workmen; that their owl
scales are constructed upon the same oil
similar principles and sometimes 60 SC
far as to represent theirs as the genuine
Fairbanks Scales This shows wha,
the public think of Fairbanks Scales
and al,o that persons intending to pur.
chase these, may, unless they are care.
ful, get some other kind Of inferior quail.

VERY NICE DRlNKs. Tho statement
that strychnue is used by whiskey max
ers to increase the quantity of the liquor
is denied The Ohio Legislature seems
to have had good evidence of the fact,
or it would not have found it necessary
to pass stringent law against it, and
the sudden deaths Of the hogs kept about
certain whiskcy distilleries, either from
that or some other poison, confirm the
statement. Some whiskey manufactur-
ers can honestly deny, no doubt, that
they use strychnine, or any other poison
in their business. But that strychnine
has been and is employed to large ex-
tent in the manufacture Of whiSkey at
the West and South, is pretty well cs-
tablished fact The effect Of such an
abominable mixture upon the human
stomach is not matter Of doubt. Its
consumers will 90 the way the swine of
the distilleries have gone before them.
But strychnine is not the only poison

Love IN CHINA Meadows History
of the Chinese and their Rcbellions,

philosophic work which has yet appear
ed on the Chinese A chapter on love
contains the following story:
A Chinese who had been deeply dis
appointed in marriage and had previous
ly suffered through women in many
other ways-rctircd with his infant son
to the peak Of mountain range in
Kweichoo to a spot quite inaccessible to
the little footed Chinese women. lie
trained the boy to worship the gods and
stand up in awe and adherence Of the
devils, but never named woman to him
and always descended the mountain alone
to buy food. At length, however, the
infrmities Of age compelled him to take
the young man with him to carry the
heavy bag of rice. AS they were lcav-
ing the market town together, the sou
suddenly Stopping cried" Father, what
are these things Look look wha
are they :" The father answered, viii
a percmptory ordcr-"Turn away your
head, they are devils " The son ii
some alarm turned away, noticing tha
the evil things were gazing at him from
behind their fans. lie walked to the
mountain top in silence, ate no supper
and from that day lost his appetite and
was afflicted with melancholy. FoI
some time his anxious and puzzled pa
rent could get no satisfactory answer tC
his inquiries but at length the young
man burst out crying with inexplicabl,
pain" Oh, father, that tallcst devil

EaS~ 1t is sad there are no oa.hs in
the language Of the A gonquin Indians
They cannot blaspheme- cannot call
upon God-not on account Of any extra
ordinary morality. but because the struc-
ture Of the language renders it impossi
blc. There are no forms for using the
name of the Diety in that way, and the
name itself is consii red too sacred to
be commonly used at all, Christian
converts in their prayers, use the term
signifying My Father" The Algon-
quins have apccullr way Of speaking of
deceased persons, without saying that
they are dead, by putting the name in
past tense. Thus Pontiac, when dead
is spoken Of as Pontiac bun" Pontiac
passed away" The language is very
eupbonious, as is shown by the proper
nlmcs--Potomac, Monougahcla, Onta-
rio, &c.

A YoUSG HERO. Master Walters
had been much annoyed by some one
wbistling in school. Whenever he call
ed boy to account for such disturb
ance, he would plead that it was unin-
tentional-" he forgot all about where
he was" This became so frequent that
the master threatened severe punish
ment to the next offender. The next
day when the room was unusually quiet,
a loud, sharp whistle broke the stiffness.
Every one asserted that it was certain
boy, who had the reputation of a mis-
chiefmaker and liar. lie was called
up, and, though, with stubborn look he
denied it again and again, commanded
to hold out his hand. At this instant,
u little slender fellow, not more than
seven year old, came out, and with a
very pale but decided face, held out his
hand, saying as he did so, with the clear
and firm tone Of hero -
"Mr Walters, Sir, do not punish
him | whistlcd. ! was doing long,
hard sum, and in rubbing out another,
rubbed it out by mistake and spoiled it
all and before | thought, whistled
right out, Sir, was very much afraid
but | could not sit there, and act lie
when | knew who was to blame. You
may ferrulc mo, Sin, as you said you
should" And with all the fTmncss he
could command, he again held out the
little hand, never for moment doubt
ing that he was to be punished. Mr. Wal
ters was much affected.
" Charles" said he, looking at The
erect form Of the delicate child, who hac
made such conquest over bis natural
timidity, would not strike you blow
for the world. No one here doubts that
you spoke the truth you did not mean
to whistle. You have been hero,
Sir"
The boy went back to his scat with a
flushed face, and quietly went on with
his sums. He must have felt that every
eye was upon him in admiration, for the
smallest scholar could appreciate the
moral courage of such an action.
Charles grew up, and became a devo
ted, consistent Christian. Let all ou
readers initiate his noble, heroic con
duct, - Tp,hgM Hours.

But it was remarked that frequently,
when ascending the pulpit stairs, he
would smile, and sometimes almost tit

sire to laugh This excited remark,
aud at last scandal; finally it was thought
necessary by some of his clerical friends
at meeting Of the association, to bring
up the matter for consideration. The
case was stated, the Rev. DR.. L. being
present. "Well, gentlemen" said he
