LABOR AT THE SoUTH.-A sudden
rise in the Alabama river has forced
steamboat captains to pay $50 per
month for deck hands. Labor, it is
said, is very scarce in Mobile, and
hands have been so scarce that pre-
parations for the fall business, in many
cases, have been neglected.

The SEA AT GREAT DEPTHs.-Popular
ideas with regard to sinking Of bodies in the
sea, have heretofore been vague; for the rea-
son, perhaps, that the laws which govern this
descent, and which are derived from the we'll
known law Of fluids, have never been fully de-
fined in their application to the depth Of the
ocean. Some imagine that ships which foun-
der at sea, sink to a certain dapth, and there
float about until broken to pieces or thrown
upon some bank beneath the sea and, indeed
a recent writer in England has published a
book sustaining this absurd notion. Other,
again, believe that the buoyant force of the
water at great depths is enormous, and due to
the whole pressure of the column of water
above, and that all bodies which are lighter
than water at the surface, will, if sunk to the
bottom and detached from the Sinker shoot up
wards with great velocity or in other words,
that the density Of the water increases directly
with the depth. These view are erroneous
1t is true that the pressure increases with
the depth, to the amount Of fifteen pounds up
on every square inch, for every thirty-four
feet in depth but the density is not thereby
sensibly decreased, owing to the incompre-
feasibility Of the water; so that neither the
buoyant force nor the resistance of the motion
Of any body, are sensibly increased from the
surface to the bottom. AT the depth of three
thousand fathOms, for instance the pressure
upon square inch is nearly eight thousand
pounds, but the column Of eighteen thousand
feet of water is only shortened about sixty feet
the density is thus but slightly increased but
the effect of this enormous pressure upon CON
densible bodies, as air, wood, &c, is to con-
dense them into a smaller bulk, by which they
may be rendered heacier than scdter, and will
sink Of their own weight. A piece Of wood
cannot float at the bottom of the sea, but
very slight extraneous force will bring it to
the surtace.-SHiman's Journal

GRIEF FOR THE DEAD.

Ohearts that never cease to yearn!
o trimming tears that ue'er are dried
The dead, though they depart, return
As if they had not died
The living are the only dead;
The dead liye-nevermOre TO die;
And often when we mourn them fled,
They never were so nigh.
And though the lie beneath the waves,
Or sleep within the CluTchyard dim
(Ah! through how many different graves
Gods children so to Him9
Yet every grave gives up its dead
Ere it is OyergrOwn with grass
Then why should hopeless tears be shed
Or need we cry, Alas!
Or why should memory vei'd with gloom,
And, like s0rrowing mourner craped,
Sit weeping DER an empty tomb
Whose captiyes have escaped
'Tis butts mound-and viii be messed
Whene'er the summer grass appears;
The loved, though wept, are never lost;
We only lose our tears.
Nay, Hope may whisper with the dead,
By bending forward where they are;
But Memory, with a backward tread,
COmmunes with them alar!
The joys we lose are but forecast,
And we shall find them all once more;
We look behind us for the past,
But 10. lis all before!

TIDNEss AND MoRALITY-If tidiness be
important everywhere, what must it be in the
dwellings OF the poor In these, so far as my
experience has gone, tidiness and morality are
always in direct proportion. You can see at
once, when you enter poor mans cottage (al-
ways with your hat off, my friend how his
circumstances are, and generally how his char
acter is If the world is going against him; if
hard work and constant pinching will hardly
get food and clothing for the children, you see
the fact in the mtidy house the poor mistress
of it has no heart for that constant effort which
Is needed in the cottage to keep things right
she has no heart for the constant stitching which
is needtul to keep the poor little chidren's
clothes on their backs Many a time it has
made my heart sore to see, in the relaxation of
wonted tidiness the first indication that things
are going amiss, that hope is dying, that the
poor struggling pair are feeling that their
heads are getting under water at last. Ah
there is a sad significance in the hearth no long
er so clearly swept, in the handle wanting
from the chest of drawers, in little Jamie's
torn jacket, which a few stitches would mend,
but which l remember toSn for these ten days
past Fraser.

CARE OF THE EYEs.-Crawford the cele-
brated sculptor, had an inveterate habit of
reading in a reclined position One eye had
to be taken out in consequence of a cancerous
tumor forming behind it, and his life has paid
the forfeit, after years of suffering and the ex-
penditnre of a large amount OF money. Pres
colt, the historian in consequence Of dsOr-
order of nerve, by which the eyes were rem
dered useless for all writing purposes, could
not use pen, as he was unable to see when it
failed to make mark for want of ink nor
could he distinguish the lines or edges of his
paper. Yet, with all these advantages, he
wrote all his historicals, using an agate stylus
on carbonated paper, being guided as to the
lines and edges by brass wires drawn through
a wooden frame but, with all these hindran-
ces, he has made himself one of the most read
able Of modern historians and earned fortune
besides.
10 avoid these and similar calamities, we
urge upon the young especially, never to use
the eyes by any artificial light where any nice
ty Of sight is required, nor to use them in any
Strained position or while riding in railcars or
carriages We urge upon parents, in view of
the many incurable eye diseases, to caution
their children against twilight; that is not be-
fore sunrise nor after sunset. 1t would be
greatly better not to allow them to read or sew
by any artificial light but if that be unavoid-
able, let it be imperative that they cease at
nine o'clock at night, in Summer, and by ten,
at farthest, in Winter. 1t is a most ineXcusa-
bic folly, and will, sooner or later, bring its
punishment, to read or sew by gas, or lamp or
candlelght, and then sleep after daylight next
morning as a habit TO persons Of all ages it
is most injurious practice.-HdiPS journal Of
Heaih.

The London papers announce the death of
Miss Susannah Thrale. She was the third
daughter of Henry Thrale, the brewer, at
whose hospitabe house (Sueatham) DIR. john
son spent so much of his time, and Boswell
took so many Of his notes. Thrale was a man
Of large wealth and liberal tastes, and his name
has become associated with that circle of liter
airy men who were wont to assemble at his ia
bic, including Burke, Garrick, Reynolds, &C.,
&c. Mrs. Thrale is a prominent person in all
the biographies Of DIR. johnson, and contribu-
ted much valuable material toward them. She
married a second husband, Gabriel Piozzi, and
thereby lost the Doctors esteem and affection.
Miss Susannah Thrale was one of "the five
girls remaining" whom Doctor wrote about to
Boswell from STeatham in IVA. She was
one of those in whom he took such infinite
pleasure and interest there, and one of those
he thought of in that prayer which he offered
up when her mothers inattention made the old
man leave the house at Streatham forever.
Miss Susannah Thrale expired in her nine
tieth year-the last survivor of that once gen
ial and celebrated circle.

PLEAsANT lSCIDENT.-At the funeral of
little babe in New Sharon, a few days since
says the Gospel Banner, a circumstance occur
red, remarkably cheering and suggestive.
The little one, all beautifully ROBBED for the
grave, was laid in its coffin on the morning Of
its burial. The weeping friends placed in its
little hand small bouquet of flowers, among
which was an unopened rosebud of the "Rose
OF Sharon" The lid was then placed upon the
coffin, and the funeral services performed.
When after the lapse of not more than two or
three hours the coffin was opened again. and
the friends gathered round to look upon it for
the last time, that bud had become full blown
rose, while grasped in the cold hand of death.

those beautifully sealed lips, saying "Wcep not

DEEP CULTIVATION.

Hsop narrates the following fable: A
husbandman dying was DESTROYS that his
two sons should continue his business
he called them to his bedside and thus
addressed them My farm and its treas
ures l bequeath jointly to you as your
only patrimony. ! charge you never to
sell it, for somewhere in the ground with
in a foot Of the surface, there are treasures
buried The sons concluded that he
talked of money when was hidden there;
so, after their fathers death, with unwea-
ried diligence they dug over every inch
Of the farm. The treasure they expect
ed to find was not there, but the ground
being well stirred and loosened, brought
forth so beautifully that it proved real
treasure. Few farmers are aware that
underneath their visible acres lie others
equally valuable. The man who does
not improve his property to its utmost ca,
| pacity, is slothful in a moral sense, if moi
in physical. That the products ant
profits ofthe best American farms can BE-
doubled by deep cultivation, judicious 70
tation and high manuring, is unquestion
able. If the best American farms cal
thus be increased in profit, how mucl
greater the proportion on the thousand
of poor acres. A little farm well tile,
is both more pleasant and profitable thai
a great farm carelessly run over. Labo
and industry well applied to agricultur
seldom fail of a reward.-.SprjnqfeI

THE MIDGE, FLY, WEEVIL AND RUST.

Continued wheat cropping until the
slick is exhausted will produce soft,spon-
gy stalks, that will partly invite the at
tack of fly and rust. 1t is far more liza
bic to rust, and smut, and fly, in some
soils than in others. As the alkalies and
other fertalIzing elements become ex-
hausted, its crops Of wheat not only be-
come smaller, but the plants fail in con-
stitutional vigor, and are more liable to
the attacks of parasitic plants and de-
structiye insects. Defects in soil, and
improper nutrition, add TO these disas-
trous results. Soils may have all the
material necessary to produce a large
crop of wheat, but for want of soluble ST.
lica t" give it a hard glossy stem, it will
be unable 10 withstand wet, lodge down.
rust, and give harbor TO the nudge; and
in September and May to the fly. From
one hundred to one hundred and fifty
pounds of soluble silica are required tC
glaze the stalks and kernels Of an acre o.
wheat, and three fourths Of it is rConIreC
in the last sixty days of maturing. Thi.
is the time the stalk acquires its solidity
and strength. But all the sand in tn,
world will DO no good, unless soluble
or liquid, so that the plant can draw
up and use it. All alkaline minerals
as potash, soda, lime, magnesia ant
ammonia, hasten the solution OF the inso
luble compounds Of silica, althoug til,
crop grew in heap of sand. Until it j
Dissolved and made liquid, it is as foolisl
to expect wheat to use it, as it is to ofFe
a cake Office to horse and tell him f
drink. In each case the appropriate sub
stance is present, but not in a condition
TO be used.
The first great cause ofmidge, fly, wee
vii and rust, is a soil exhausted by whea
cropping, so that there is not silica suffi
cient to harden the stem and seed. Tn
remedy, if there is sand or silica in tn
earth, alkaline minerals, to render th
sand soluble, so that the sand can b
drawn up in the pores Of the plant.

Bright in tie West beamed the star in its splen-

Predestinsd by Europe to kinde the flame,
When the stern foes Of Truth should behold the

OfTyrrany pledged to her dark deeds Of shame.
In the depths of that moment wien freedom re-

And Glory looked down on the world from her
throne
Not the triumphs Of fame, or ambition unboun~

Could H,,hom the weight of the spleudor that
shone.
The thunder tina, rung ere the storm cloud Of
battle
Pressed hard on the millions cnsulphed in their
gloom,
BY the might orthe sword, and the cannons wild
rattle,
Are hushsd like the captivos of death in the
tomb.
As the pride Of her glory the zealots in bondage,
BY tyrnt enslaved from the isles of the sea,
On their eusigns, emblazoned with symbols OF
homage,
Proclaim her the Goddess of nations to be.
Brighter the light from the north is desceuding
That sparl.lel ere Freedom her banner unfurled
Svirer the knees Of the tyraut are bending,
EutFronoL by corruption to govern the world.
The scourgc passed onward, thou Oh bitter tic
moment
When darkness responds to the tide of her blaza
When ambition disrobed by the arm of the cap
tive,
Sinks vanqushed to molder in Liberty's grave.
