4 GrlndStOne Indispensable 10 q Farm.
A good grindstone on a farm is equal to one hand,
where a number are employed, as they would save the
labor of one man by using sharp tools, such as a good
farmer with a good grindstone will have. Many a far
mer prefers to borrow, or use dull tools, to making an
outlay for such a useful article. 1t is also true that
those who have good implements dislike to have them
used by their n~eighbors; to such the following plan to
get rid of their difficulty in one instance, may be useful.
A respectable, vel. TODD farmer called on a dealer to
get too grindstones. One be wanted "a coed one for
his own use, to be kept in bis private s'nctum ; the
other, as hard as thunder for the use of his neigh.
bors, to be put in some exposed place on his farm where
they could come and 60 and make free with it. He
selected the two-tbe good one for himself, and the
poor one for bis n~eighbcrs. Now, this was a sensible
man, and no doubt a good farmer-a sort of farmer who
would not keep a grindstone that he loved, for others.
use: He will always have a good one for himself, and
one as hard as thunder for the use of bis go-day
come. day nobody neighbors, for he selected a good one
for the purpose-one that will long out-last his good
one, ~out-live himself, and descend an heir loom to his
children's children. His n~eighbors may come and
grind, and grind, and the longer they grind the harder
it will get, and there will be no signs Of wasting or de-
cay, except a very hard and glazed face, perhaps a re.
fiction of the faces of those who use it-for the farmer
that borrows a grindstone must have a hard cheek. 1t
may not be known to every farmer that long exposure
to the sun will so harden a grindstone that it will be-
come worthless.

c arth at fifteen pounds the square inch, hence A'teen
pounds must be the weight Of a column Of air one inch
square tending from the earth to the top OF the atmoS-
phcre. You may conceive readily that if a large mass
Of water shout be lifted up from the great body in the
ocean, the surrounding waters would rush in rapidly to
fill up the gap so the atmosphere rare6ed BY heat as
cends, leaving a great gap in the ocean of air, and the
surrounding PARTICLES rush in to fill up the gap or vaeu-
um. Thus for nine tenths of the time there Is rarefac-
ton, vaouity and wind, and the processes Of an endless
succession of seasons are carried forward by its means.
Though it is violent at times, it is always useful. 1t
is an agent in the hands of a great God to distribute
blessings, and though it shows at times His exceeding
great power, it can only display His wisdom and love
for His children. l.. N. CoUNTRYMAN.

W1Np.-How still and how apparently harmless is
the atmosphere! We move about and it presents no
resistance perceptible: We know that it is about US and

gaseous ocean, the air, at the bottom OF which we stride,
is now placid not q leaf is sstir The sun, just set
behind the western hills, reflects its light in twilight
hour, and the atmosphere is its medium. See, how
brilliant are its tints There is a bright streak of red,
skirted above and below with yellowish white, and then
blue lines the horizon. How still ! Plainly in the
far distance is heard the lowing Of cattle, and the pillow
mans homeward bound song. The night hawk sends
forth upoa the ct;lloess his occasional piping, and the
distant boat appears near, BY the clear sound Of its whis-
Sic. The little bird, and the bee, and the barn fowls
have ali gone to rest, and all nature seems to enjoy the
st;llaess.

hinges. Now it'slans against the house with great VIC

any beautiful, my only one,
Oh wherefore didst thou 20
And leave thy mother here to drink
A cup 50 full Of woe
Thy father, too, weeps bitter tears
Whene'er he thinks Of thee
Oh shall we never, never more
Thy smiling visage see:
ooh can it be we ne'er shall hear
Thy gentle pratt'ing voice
Which made our pulses quicker throb
And babe our hearts rejoice;
Ne'er feel the warmth of thy soft cheek
Thy ruby lips ne'er press.
Nor clasp thy precious little form
And leave one long caress?
"And shall we ne'er more behold
Thine eye SO full Of light,
Nor gaze upon that forehead fair,
So spotless, pure, and white!
Cease, cease, my heart, thy murmurings-
Go hence, thou truant thought,
would not that my lovely boy
Should back to earth be brought.
"Angelic spirits bore him forth.
My beautiful, my own;
He breathes the perfumes that arise
Around my Fathers throne
No pain can reach his heavenly home.
Nor death his arrows fling
He will in accents soft and low
His Saviour's praises sing.
"'Twill not be long, sweet babe, I trust,
Fer we shall come to thee,
And join our voices with thine own
In heavenly melody.
Oh no, I would not call thee back,
In this dark world to dwell
In faith I cheerfully would yield
My father, j. is we'll:
"Yet tears will fall, but Jesus wept-
He'll not his children chide,
But he will rather weep with them
When their weak souls are tried.
Then help US, Father, now we pray,
Our anguish deep to quell;
And ever more our hearts shall say,
Yes, Father, it is WE'LL" E.A:(

On the 23d ult, a passenger came to Portland BY
steamer Anglo Saxon. and took lodgings at one Of the
city hotels. Next morning he took the cars for Boston
in company with a gentleman who had remained at the
same house with him overnight, with whose counte.
nance he, somehow or other, imagined himself familiar.
They got into conversation in coming down the Eastern
railroad, but nothing t~rsnspired to elicit the fact whether
or no they had been old acquaintance. When they
had arrived at the depot, and bad attended to their lug
gage, one Of the gentlemen inquired, in the hearing OF
the other, for a cab to take him to a certain street in
Charlestown. The other said he purposed going to the
same street, and the two engaged the same conveyance.
On arriving at the street in question, it appeared that
they designed to call on the same individual. This
strange series of coincidences greatly puzzled both but
their mutual surprise and delight can be imagined but
in a degree, when they found that they were brothers,
and that they had thus singularly met at the house OF
a third brother. One Of them has been in the service
Of the Pacha of Egypt for twenty-five years the other
third has been in this country during nineteen years
past. The brothers are natives Of Scotland, and had
not seen each other for twenty.four years.-lBoson
Ledger.
The habit of observation is one Of the most valuable
in life, its worth can never be too highly estimated,
and it is one that can easily be cultivated. Never do
anything without observing that all you do is correct.
Do not ever take a walk without having your eyes and
ears open, and always try and remember what you see
and hear. BY this means you will acquire more knowl.
edge than can ever be learned from books, rs you will
the information is in exactly the form you are capable
of receiving it. Read books and newspapers,b but above
all acquire observing habits, for they will be always
with you, and ever ready to store your mind With the
truths Of nature. y# #efN-

SPIRITOF THE MOI

SPIRIT OF THE MORNING PRESS.
The Union devotes another leader to Kan
sas-this time to notice that the last of the
Free State Conventions in that Territory foiled
the scheme Of its movers TO get Jim Lane bo-
fore the Legislature with the endorsement of
popular vote for United States Senator The
convention neglected TO notice entirely that
part OF its programme directing il to nominate
fro United States senators, to be voted for
by the people, suggesting that the result of the
elections should be received as instructions to
the Legislature to return the two Senators to
Congress who should have the greatest number
Of votes And thus jim Lane missed his aim
Tie Union also reviews the Bernard trial
anu draws the inference that the prompt over
throw of the late Palmerston ministry, and the
acquittal now of Bernard, afford notable proofs
that any effort to modify English laws on the
subject will not be successful
