THE LOVE OF HoMR.-DANIEL WKB-
sTER, referring to his own lowly origen
and his birthplace, gave utterance to sen.
timents which did him honor. and which
will find responsive echo in many hearts !:
1t is only shallow-minded pretenders
who make either distinguished origin .
matter of personal merit, or obscure ori.
gin a matter of personal reproach. A
man who is not ashamed of himself need
not be ashamed of his early condition. 1t
did happen to me to be born in log-cab-
in, raised among the snow-drifts of New
Hampshire, at period SO early that when
the smoke first rose from its rude chimney
and curled over the frozen hills, there was
no similar evidence of white mans habi.

the rivers Of Canada. Its remains still

hardships endured by the generations be-

recollections, the kindred ties, the early
affections, and the variations and incidents
which mingle with all ! know Of this
primitive family abode; l weep to think
that none who then inhabited it, are now
among the living; and if ever 1 fail in
affeetionate veneration for him who raised
it, and defended it against savage violence
and destruction, cherished all domestic
comforts beneath its roof, and through the
fire and blood of seven years revolution
pry war, shrunk from no toll. no sacrifice,
to serve his country, and to raise his chill
dren to a condition better than his own,

terity be blotted from the memory ofman-

AN INGENIOUS DUTcHMAN. The De-
troit Advertaser says that officer Jay, of
that city, few mornings since received
information that German residing on the
line Of the d. & M. Railway, within the
city limits, had constructed car, which
he was in the habit Of placing on the track
at night, and running out into the country
few miles, where he loaded it with wood
which he would bring into town. and offer
for sale the next day in the streets. On
learning these facts, Mr.. Jay proceeded
to investigate the matter. He went to the
part of the track where it was said the
German lived, and discovered tracks of the
wheels in the snow. These he traced to
the door of little house, and found the
car concealed under shed. He went in and
explained the object ofhis visit, concluding
by telling the man not to put the thing on
the track again. The old man didn't ex-
aetly see the force of the reason assigned
by the officer, that he ran the risk of
throwing trains of the track, but he agreed
to do as he was ordered. - -..
Mr.. Jay examined the car, and foundit
to be very ingenious contriyance. 1t
was built entirely of wood, except the rims
of the wheels, which are sheet-iron. The
boxes in which the axletrees ran, were
simply holes in the frame, lined with pork
yinds. The whole thing, with the excep-
tion of the wheel frames, was SO construc-
ted that it conld be taken apart and piled
up in the owners shed, He has been in
the habit Of running the car for some time
making trip every night 1t would
take three cords at time, and Mynheer
was carrying on brisk business, in oppo-
sition TO the wood markets.

SoUTHRY's OPINION OF WOMEN AND MAE
RIAoE Robert Southey, in chapter Oh
" Marriage" delivers himself as follows :
A man may be cheerful and contented
in celibacy, but do not think he can ever
be happy it is an unnatural state, and
the best feelings of his nature are mover
called into action. The risks of marriage
are far greater on the woman's side /;
women have so little the power Of choice
that it is not perhaps fair to say they are
less likely TO choose well than we are but
| l am persuaded that they are more frc-
.quently deceived in the attachments which
they form. and their opinions concerning
men are much less accurate than mems
opinion of their sex. Now, if lady were
to reproach me for having said this, l
should reply that it was only another mode
Of saying that there are more good wives,
in the world than there are good husbands
which I verify believe. l know nothing
which good and sensible man is SO GER
tain to find, if he looks for it, as good
wife. l

KNEELAND's INFIDEL CoLoNY.-A COM
munity of Atheists cannot exist 1t must
change its views, or be Dissolved. The
well-known Abner Kneeland, who, more
than twenty years ago went from Boston
to the West, to establish his monNrous
system, made careful experiment at
Pennington, Iowa, but utterly failed. A
recent visitor to the place says that he
formed quite colony ofin6dels, and made
vigorous efforts to extend his unholy prin-
ciples but now bis name is fast falling
into oblivion, and but few Of his followers
survive him. All public in6del meetings
have long since been abandoned, aud scarce
an attempt is now made to uphold the
wretched system. Mr.. Kneeland's family
still reside in the homestead where he died
and still adhere to the principles which he
taught them. The immediate neighbor.

A Sailors Story of his Conversion.
At one of the recent praycr-meetings in
New York city, sailor rose and narrated
to the congregation the circumstances of
his conversion. He was young man, a
native of England, with an intelligent face
and an impressive manner of speech and
his remarks were received with great at
tention. He said:

as this is one that until very recently,
would have been altogether new to me.

A PEEP INTO THE CRIMEAN SUBrERRA.
MEAN SEPULcHER-In DR.. McPheron's
Antiquities of Kertch," we find the fol-
lowing interesting narrative:
There was no confusion here. The floor
was covered with the same beautiful peb.
bles. On the inches around, all the OBJ
jects remained as they had been placed
twenty centuries ago. 1t was sight re-
plete with interest to survey this chamber;

iginully placed to contemplate its use,
and to behold the effects of time on US
proud mortals. dust thou art, and unto
dust shalt thou return" was exempliGed
here to the letter. There, in the stiffness
Of this chamber, lay the unruAed dust of
the human frame, possessing still the form
Of man. The bones had all disappeared,
or their outer surface alone remained. The
space occupied by the head did not exceed
the size of the palm of the hand yet the
position of the features could still be ira
ced on the undisturbed dust. There was
the depression for the eyes. the slight
prominence Of the nose, and the mark of
the mouth, the teeth being the only por-
ton Of the entire frame which remain un-
changed. The folds in which the gar
ments enveloped the body, nay. even the
knots which bound them, could be traced
on the dust. A few enameled beads were
found in the right hand Of the dead, and
some walnuts in the left and the green
mark of a copper ring, into which d stone
had been fixed, was an one finger. On
each niche one body had been placed. The
cofins, crumbled into powder, had fallen
in. At the head was glass bottle one

SINGULAR FKLLowsHIP.-Mr. Atkinson

other six years old, rambled away from
their friends who were haymaking They

gathering fruit, laughing and enjoying the

at them steadily without moving; at length
they began playing with him and mounted
upon his back, which he submitted to with
perfect good humor. In short, both SEEM

indeed, the children were delighted with
their new play-fellow. The parents mis-

So1LINa STocK.-A gentleman in Sun
derland, Mass, furnishes the following
testimony as to the value Of Egyptian
millet for soiling purposes:
The Chinese sugar cane has been
talked largely Of for soiling purposes. l
made thirty gallons of thick sirup, and
have also tried it for fodder for the past
year, but cannot recommend it for that
purpose. / can, however, recommend
something far superior to cane, corn. or
anything else that l know of, viz: Egyp-
tion Millet. Two years since l fed what
grew on ten rods to FIVE COWS for period
of six weeks. It increased their milk
sensibly. We estimated the increase of
butter made in consequence, at 80, or
one dollar rod. / can recommend it to
all snch as keep up any stock during the
summer, or have short pastures, as it
comes Just in the time the dry weather
usually begins and feed is short. The
past season 1 fed the Millet to yearling
bull which was kept up all the summer,
and in about four months gained 800 lbs,
Or two and one-third pounds daily. 1t
grows from eight to ten feet high, and
when two and a half or three feet high
should be cut and fed. 1t Immediately
springs up from the old roots. Three
crops can be obtained in season. Can
commence to cut the last of July or the
first of August. Horses, pigs and all
kinds of stock eat it with the greatest
relish. l obtained the seed while travel
ling at the South, and was informed by
those who were acquainted with it, that
ten rods sown to the Millet would keep a

The Firm Bank.

,citement in England, caused by the failure
oneyed institutions, ana may apply well at tn
ne IN our community. c. r.
/ have failing bank
more than golden store, -
No earthly Bank is half so rich;
How then can | be poor?
'Tis when my stock is spent and gone,
And without groat;
I'm glad TO hasten to iny Bank.
And beg little note.
Sometimes my Banker, smiling, says,
Why don't you oftener come?
And when l draw little note,
Why not larger 'um
Why live 60 niggardly and poor?
Your Bank contains plenty;
why come and take one-pound note,
When you might have twenty.
Yes, twenty thousand ten times told
Is but trifing sum,
10 what your Father has laid up.
Secure in Christ his Son.
Since then my banker is 80 rich,
L have no cause to borrow;
III live upon my cash to day,
And draw again tomorrow.
I've been thousand times before,
And never was rejected;
Sometimes my Banker gives me more
Than ask'd for, or expected.
Sometimes I've felt little proud
I've managed things so clever.
But ah before the day is gone,
I've iel. as poor as ever
Sometimes with blushes in my face,
Just st the door stand;
knew if Moses kept me back,
surely must be damned.
Should all the Banks in Britain fall,
The Bank of England smash;
Bring in your notes to Zion's Bank,
You'll surely have your cash.
And if you Lave but one small rote,
Fear not TO bring in,
Come boldly to the Bank of Grace
The Banker is within.
All forged notes will be refused;
men-7ner1ts are rejected;
There's not single note will pass,
That God has not accepted.
lis only those beloved of God.
Redeemed BY precious blood,
That never had a note TO bring;
These are the gifts of God.
This Bank is full Of precious notes,
All signed, and seeled, and free;
Though many doubling souls may say,
There is not ole for ME.
Base unbelief will lead the child,
To say what is not true;
/ tell the soul that is self lost,
These notes belong to you.

CovEroussEss. s.-Covet BUSINESS pretends
to heap much together for fear Of want
and yet after all his pains and purchase,
he suffers that really which at first he
feared vainly; and not using what he
gets, he makes that suffering to be actual,
present, and necessary, which in his low
est condition was but future, contingent,
and possible. 1t stirs up the desire, and
takes away the pleasure Of being satisfied.
1t increases the appetite, and will not
content it. 1t swells the principal to no
purpose, and lessens the use to all purpo-
ses disturbing the order OF nature, and
the designs Of God making money not
to be the instrument of exchange or char
ity, nor corn to feed himself or the poor,
nor wool to clothe himself or his brother,
nor wine to refresh the sadness of the at
fictcd, nor to his oil to make his own
countenance cheerful: but all these to
look upon, and to tell over, and to take
accounts by, and make himself consider
able and wondered at by fools, that while
he lives he may be called rich, and when
he dies may be accounted miserable, and,
like the dish-makers Of China, may leave
a greater heap of dirt for his nephews,
while he himself hath new lot fallen to
him in the portion of Dives. But thus
the ass carried wood and sweet herbs to
the baths, but was never washed or per-
fumed himself; he heaped up sweets for
others, while himself was filthy with smoke
and ashes.

CAMP LIVE IN Col. JoHNsroN's UTAH
ARMY.-An officer in the Army for Utah
writes as follows respecting life in camp:
Some officers have burrowed under
ground some are in log huts and others
in tents. | have tent, conical shape,
which admits of building fire in the cen.
tire, after the manner of an Indian lodge.
Ihave stove, bedstead, table and clothes
rack, for furniture. My bedstead is made
of two rough horses, with two boards
transversely placed, surmounted BY
huge pile Of old worn out comforters,
blankets and buffalo robes, which call
my bed My carpet is the undressed hide
of slaughtered beeves. My stove is con-
ical, like my tent, and the smoke leaves
at the apex. Whash-stand, three sticks
set 10 the ground SO as to catch tin-pail,
which call basin, in the interval
Clothes-rack is made OF two notched
sticks in the ground, with another laid
across them. My saddles, brides, &C.,
bang upon one Of similar construction,
but of smaller dimensions. Trunks, box
es, &C., make the whole look comfortable
and cozy. Then my chairs are the cush-
ioned seats of the ambulance in my train.
Now, imagine half-dozen sitting in
circle around the little stove, and you have
the interior of my house provided you no
tice every one with pipe in his mouth,
and dense volume Of smoke making its
way to the aperature at the top.
