The editor Of the Cleveland (0.) Plaindeaier
says: sesing Machines are asubject Of the great

purchasing and examining every kind, to find the
best, spent several days " lille in New York, in

ent as the mos, reliable Machine to be put in the
hands Of every throughout the State. We
purchased one Of them, and have uscd il for some
time, and cur opinion 10 than confirmed, for
it does every kind Of sewing on cloth or leather,
does it's work strong, nice and rapidly, and has
neysr been out OF order since it into fam

wear out. Its operation can easily be learned with
the printed directions for y guide, and when any
family has learned its use, we sure they will
not live without il. 1t uses two threads, thus
making tho work stronger than If done by hand
with one thread, besides making both sides Of the
work just alike. Those who need Sewing Ma

Fire.


The fire on Wednesday morning, about 4
O'Clock, was in the house OF NJ. A. Schevers,
situated on B street in Reds Addition. MIR.
Schevers had risen early, intending TO 60 TO
arrested BY the smell Of FIRE. Opening the
trap door into the attic, he found that the
fire, which had probably started from the
chimney, or the pipe which entered the chin
ney, was much advanced. He made several
attempts to throw water up through the trap
door, but the cinders falling down set fire to
lot OF clothing in the clothes press, and
from thence communicated rapidly to the
whole house, and before adequate assistance
arrived the house Was burned down. Some
furniture was taken out, but was very much
damaged. All the clothing Of the family was
destroyed. Mrs. Schevers and all the chill
dren (four in number) fed barefoot and in
their night clothes to the house OK Bernard
ZwArt, which was about three squares dis
tant
The house cost about S., 200, and was in-
sured for 81 200 in the K.na Company there
was also an insurance of $500 on the furni-
ture and clothing in the same company.
The basement OF the house was fitted up in
complete order for a Vinegar Factory, which
was owned by Schevcrs & Muller. This also
was entirely ruined. Mr.. Schevers estimates
the total value Of the Factory and contents at
$500, on which there was an insurance OF
$1,000 in the Htua.

psath of a chief,s Son.

A son Of To-he, an Iowa Chief, died 9
few days since, and was buried with the
highest honors of the tribe. He was
placed in standing Cor sitting posture,
on the surface of the ground, upon the
top of high hill, with his face to the
setting sun, and bow and arrows, . war
club and pipe were deposited near him
A pony, which was said to be the feetest
in the tribe, was then shot and laid beside
the boy; and thus prepared to journey TO
the happy hunting grounds, mound of
earth was raised over the whole. A
white flag was then raised over the mound,
and the usual charms placed around, to
keep away evil spirits. The young chief
was but ten or twelve years of age

Scatter the germs of the beautiful!
By the vayside let them fall,
That the rose may spring By the cottage gate,
And the vine on the garden wall.
Cover the rough and rude Of earth
With veil Of leaves and flowers,
And mark with the opening bud and cup
The march of summer hours.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the holy shrine Of home :, 49,
Let the pure. and the fair and the graceful
there
In their loveliest lustre come. .' d.
Leave not trace of deformity
In the temple Of the heart, "-- 81 GEES
But gather about its hearth the gems

Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the temple of our God
And Powered the trampled sod.
When He built temple for himself,
And home for his priestly race,
He reared each arch in symmetry,
And curved each line in grace.
Scatter the germs of the beautiful
In the depth of the human soul
They shall bud and blossom, and bear thu
fruit,
While the endless ages roll.
Plant with the flowers of charity
The portals of the tomb,
And the fair and the pure about the path
In Paradise shall bloom.

veracity is one Of the greatest Of all
the virtues-in fact, there is no virtue Of
any kind without it. Whatever of Truth
yet remains in the world, constitutes the
only lie that binds society in any degree
of harmony. Destroy this, and all the
sacredness Of pledges and compacts, and
the world is at once reduced to anarchy
and confusion. Falsehood and bad faith,
by breaking the natural alliance between
man and truth, deprive man Of every thing
which constitutes his true dignity and
worth, and exert, SO far as this influence
extends, a destructive tendency upon that
confidence between man and man, upon
which the whole fabric of society and
government is constructed. Hence 1t is
that there can be no grayer accusation than
to charge one with deliberate falsehood,
and why it is that the most honored
virtues are sincerity, frankness and truth.

stones, salts and earths; in short, every
useful shape in which matter is elsewhere
found TO arrange itself, and in all the geo.
logical gradations.
The prominent agricultural feature of
the Cordillerais fertility-pastoralfe fertility.
Stupendous peaks and battlements exist,
extreme in bald and sterile nakedness;
plains there are blasted with perpetual
aridity and CONCEALED by perpetual frosts.
The space thus occupied is small; indig-
enous grasses, fruits and vegetables abound;
it swarms with animal life and aboriginal
cattle; food of grazing and carniyerous
animals, fowls and fish, is everywhere
found; the forests and fora are superia-
tive; the immense dimensions of nature
render accessibility universal. An atmos-
phere of intense brillianey and tonic tone
overfows and embalms all nature; health
and longevity are the lot of man.
1t is necessary to be condensed and
brief A million of interesting facts are
left unmentioned. Then the Cordillera
of the Sierra Madre is but third part in
area of our "mountain formation" If the
inquiring spirit and patriarchal fire Of
Jefferson and of Aston still burns in the
popular heart, the continental mission oil
I776 will revive and reanimate our gene
ration. Counterfeit geography, promul-
gated with official dogmatism, will cease
to be fashionable, or to defeat the divine
instinct of the people. Patriotism, pic.
neered by truth and genuine science, will
reveal and comprehend our continental
geography as 1t is, huge in dimensions,
sublime in order and symmetry, unity in
plan. Our political and social empire, ex.
banded to the same dimensions, harmo.
nized to the same chequered variety y, will
assume similar order, like symmetry,
and crown hope with similar order Of
solid and enduring perpetuity. Respect
fully, w. GILPIN.
