POTATo STARCH.-The are five
starch manufactures in the town of
Stowe, Vt, each of which consumes
from 1900 to 10000 bushels of
potatoes yearly, yielding about 8
pounds Of starch to bushel. The
cost Of the potatoes delivered at
the mandatory is only one shilling
per bushel. These Vermont hills
seem to take to potatoes as natu-
rally as an Irishman, and 500 bush
els to the acre is reported as COM
mon yield there this year. The
kind chiefly cultivated for starch is
the California potato, large and
.coarse.-Springfeld Republican.

The HoRsE POWER Is strong and durable, and
Is made to run still, by "a peculiar construction
ofthe endless chain, causing il to turn smooth
~ around the circles at the ends as over the
straight ways, thus avoiding much unnecessary
friction, which arises from Il different construc-
ton of the chain
The gearing on it is fastened securely in a
simple manner, so that it cannot worl. loose and
come of, which, if happening, prevents the use
of brake and the team is liable to be injured
by being thrown out Of the Power, from its get
ting to high a motion. 1t is so geared that a team
walking at the rate Of / 3-4 miles per hour viii

The principal objections to machines Of this
class is their carrying over grain in the straw but
they have in theirs revolving WIRE seuarator

in use for separating grain from straw, and will
allow less grain to pass over in the straw than

The ARABIC LANGUAGE.-This
language is one of the most copious
and facile known. The alphabet
has 20 letters, and there are $780,
600 words in the language; where
as, in the English language there are
but $1,000 words. In some res
poets, however, it is too copious.-
For the sword there are $50 names
for an old woman, 100; for the by
ena, 100; and for the lion, camel
and horse, even more. It is said
that a great Arabic poet is only ex-
pected to write fifty or sixty lines
but this would seem hardly proba-

The Mouth.

Artists differ in their opinions as to the
feature which gives character to the face
Some hold that it is the eye-the window
ofthe soul-througn which beams the spir-
it OF the man. But how often do we see
the most gifted mind dimly lighted by u
lack-lustrc eye, or an eye full OF briliiancy
IL the head Of a fool, which like jeve IA
the toad's head, serves only to renLer lis
defects more hideOus. Others, again, are
great stlcklers for that prominent feature,
the nose. They talk Of the Grecian nose
as identifying the female countenance and
the Roman adding dignity to the mascu-
line. But it seems to us that the nasal or
gan can boast but little in characte rizino
the face. If it be not monstrosity, it at
tracts but small notice, and we challenge
any man to give the shape Of another's
nose, after seeing him twenty times
The last feature, the mouth, is by many
and We believe the largest class, ranked
first IN the scale of physiognomv. The
hps-those expressive outlines of the mouth
how varied are they in shape, how
stangely defined, and how full of character !
Look at this gallery Of portraits Here
you behold one with a lip thin and com
pressed. He is a man of decision This
picture, where you see persuasion hanging
on its mouth, is that OF one full of sweet
ness and amiability. Here is another its
lip is curled, as if habitually in mockery
and derision. 1t is the portrait of scoffer
at religion, sceptic and AN infidel But
pass on to the next-what fearful smile
gathers around its mouth it is the smile
of the tiger, ere he leaps on his prey We
once saw that man rise in public assem-
bly, to answer an opponent, and that same
smile lurked on his lip, like sunbeam on
a thunder cloud, ere it bursts on its vic
tim
The mouth is enIphatically the porch of
the head and heart. From the architec
ture of the former we judge of the struc-
ture and finish of the latter.

The Philosophy Of Good Living.

Winter being the season when man has
the best appetite, Nature then very con-
siderately supplies him with the most nu-
trtious food. The same cold that shar-
pens his gastronomic insticts, perfects the
edible qualities of most of the creatures he
delights to devour For instance, the Es-
quimaux, whose climate is of a sub-zerO
character, have a weakness for Walrus fat
that amounts in fact to blubber-mania,
and Nature, mindful of the propensity,
renders this amphibiors game particularly
oleaglnous during the Arctic winter. 1t
is the same with beeves, sheep, hogs, and
all kinds OF domestic fowls in the winter
months of our milder ATTITUDES They
tatten-and eating Of them inordinately
because of their adipose condition and their
juiciness, zoe fatten. Now fat is favorable
to content, good humor, benovelence and
sundry other social virt,ies-hence in all
parts of the globe that have winter,
Christians are at that season more amiable
than the general average of their brethren
III the torrid zone.
We do not mean to insist from the above
premises that Daniel Lambert, who weigh
ed a thousand pounds averdupois was a
lence, nor that his skeleton autithesis,
Calvin Edison, was the reverse As ex-
tremes are said to meet, both, for aught
we know, may have been unhappy and
morose-or they may not. What we mean
to say is-or what we did mean to say
when we began this rambling article was
first, that winter is the season of good
living-second, that good living is pro-
motive Off not pushed to the dyspeptic
point) of cheerfulness and all the ameni-
ties of social life and thirdly, that, there
fore, it is advisable-in moral as we'll as
sensuous point Of view--for people with
enlightened appetites to partake of the
good things with which the '.bill of fare"
for the present quarter of the year abounds
provided always that they can afford to
pay for luxuries and yet have something
left over for the necessities of those who
'eat to live"

4 Visit to Robinson CrusOe's
Island.

While on board the ship Golden Rock
ct, lying at Greenwich Dock, we were
permitted by Capt. C. n. Pendleton to ex-
anime his log book, in which he gives an
account Of his visit to the Island Of Juan
Fernandez (Robinson Crusoe's Island. y
The ship was on her last passage to this
port from Boston, and had on board 55
passengers (25 of whom were ladies' who
intend to make California their future
place of residence. Getting short of wat
er, Capt. Pendleton decided to stop at
Juan Fernandez for further supply, and
therefore shaped his course thither-the
Island being nearly in his track. At 6
p NJ, on the evening of March "a, they
doubled the eastern end of the Island, and
at seven rounded to off the bay of ST. Jo-
seph, at the head of which the few inhab-
itants now remaining on the Island are
located. The facilities for loading water
at the Island Capt. Pendleton represents
to be not very good. The casks must be
taken on. ashore and filled, rolled back into
the water and parbuckled into the boat.
While the crew were at this work, the
passengers rambled off in different direc-
tions to make discoveries. The Island is
25 miles long by about four in BREADTH
The land is very high, rising in rugged,
precipitous peaks-one Of them, called
Tunkcue. 3, 500 feet above the level OF the
SEQ. The peaks are generally overhung

Thy last faint smile new beauty sheds
On held an flower, DER stream and sky.
melody like farewell song,
Is borne on every whispering breeze;
A sweeter fragrance breathes from out
Each bending f1ow'ret's folded leaves.
Low, mournful voices thrill my heart
They speak in sad, prophetic tones,
Of fading woods, and dying flowers,
OF happy hours forever flown.
Farewell, sweet summer thou mast brought
For me, the sunlight with the shade,
And on lifes weary, toilsome path,
Full many rose thy hand has laid.
And as | muse and look abroad,
This softly fading summers day,
On all earth's lovliest, fairest things,
That now so soon must fade away
y sadness, deeper than the shade,
That rests upon the earth to-day,
Has wrapt my spirit in cloud,
And chased its warmth and light away
Around, on every lovely thing,
On flower, and gold and sky above,

The absence of d soul love.
Ny heart is following close and warm,
Where those dear, wandering feet now tread,
With many fervent, murmured prayer,
For blessings on the precious head.

The pleasant smile and clasping hand,
The form that wakcns memories dear

Oh, life mid all my hopes and joys,
These bitter partings ever come
They take our treasures from our side,
And shade with gloom the hapPiest home.
They make US yearn for that bright land,
Where never brcathes farewell strain;
Where souls, oft parted in this life,
Shall sweetly re-unite again.
Oh, blessed rest for waiting hearts
Oh Hope! what treasures hast thou there
There, summer flowers shall never fade;
There, we shall Breathe no chilling air.
Then go, sweet Summer fare thee well!
Though here in shade my pathway lies,

Too Late Regrets!

The moment a friend, or even mere ac-
quaintance, is dead, how surely there starts
up before us each instance Of unkindness
of which We have been guilty towards him.
In fact, many and many an act or word
which while he was in life did not seem
to be unkind at all, now .'bites back" as if
1t were a serpent, and shows us what it
really was. Alas d, twas thus we caused
to suffer him who now is dust, and yet
then we did not pity him nor reproach our
selves.
There is always bitterness beyond that
Of death in the dying of fellow-creature
to whom we have been unjust or unkind.
Some do not yet know this, having never
lost any companion by death but there
are few indeed who will not, if they live
long, find it out. How very differently
do people treat each other from what they
ought to do. And why can they not,
for their own peace's sake, be more care
tul not to destroy or diminish the happiness
of each other! There are in this world, at
the best, many abiding shadows why need
men increase them by clothing their own
faces in clouds? The human face should
be radiant with the spirit of love, but it is
rendered dull with indifference, or dark by
ill-will. Oh, these stony faces of man
these cold, cruel eyes, that do not melt
with pity; these withheld hands, whose
ready clasp might uphold those who are
sinking they know not whittier; these
hard, hard hearts, that can no longer be
touched by tenderness, re,aorse will prove
their master and when death cuts down
and takes away the ones to whom they
OWED kindness, but gave it not, they will
be made to quiver with the thought of
what that soul, now before God, will have
to report of them.
