SPRAYS of Wisdom. !

The sweet name "broiher" is like per.
fume TO the believer, and when he lays hold
upon it,-iI imparts its fragrance TO him.
Look to thy love, o Christian! and let
the carnal revile thee ever so much, do
thou persevere in seeking to walk with
Christ, to feel His love, and triumphin His
grace, sitll emJ hsa ..ssa75alt s.'g
AS in the time of war the city doubles
its guards, so does Jesus multiply the dis
play of His affection when His chosen are
beseiged by trials. ! sa' '7i 'ih4''.
A portion of the Lords family live usu.
ally in the shade; they are like those sweet
flowers which bloom no where so well as in

Men who have no brains are always
great men; but those who think, must
think their pride down, if God is with them
in their thinking.
When | hear of a Church where they
are all gentlemen, | always say farewell to
that, for where there are no poor, the ship
will soon sink. Ifthere are no poor, the
ship will soon sink. If there are no poor,
then Christ will soon give them some, if
they are real Gospel Church.
Jesus recognizes His family when they
are black as the tents of Kedar, and He
knows they snail be fair as the curtains of
Solomon. He knows His children when
they do not know themselves; when they
fancy they are lost beyond rescue, or when
they foolishly conceive that they can save
themselves.

Country Papers-.Their Use.

Country papers are Of much more use
than the people imagine. ei b. -fsi
They aid in directing public attention
to matters in which every citizen of the
county is more or less interested.
They contribute in a variety of ways to
the formation ofpublic opinion on subjects
of public interest. q qia. ~ - AVA
They aid in giving character and impor-
tance to the county in which they are pub
lished.
They stimulate taste for reading, and
disseminate, in the course of one year,
vast amount of useful information which
would not reach portion of their readers
through any other channel. .
They are of essential use in family in
fostering taste for reading among chill
dren.
Country papers enjoy an advantage in
this respect over papers published at a dis
tance, because many of their items are of
a local interest which naturally attracts a
child's attention. The advertising columns
of these papers are particularly attractive
to this class of readers.
Country papers, by the local information
they contain, are often the means of draw
ING new and valuable citizens to the county
inswhich they are. published. ss -E
TIC the objection We not unfrequently
hear urged against the support of country
papers that the price charged for them is
too high, it may be replied that at the
price at which the paper can be afforded de-
pends mainly upon IFS numbers. The chief
expense in the publication of paper, con-
sits in setting up the matter. One thou
sand d-or even ten thousand copies can be
furnished at a very small addition to the
cost over and above the cost of compost
ton. a

The Bucyrus (Ohio) journal relates the
story of farmer, in that county who found
one day beautiful specimen oflquartz
rock, which had all the appearance
of a diamond. He took it to a jeweler in
Bucyrus, who by the way of a joke told
him it was a diamond, and offered him
$4,000 for it. The Farmer supposed il
was worth more money ;rhe had read Of
the Kob-i-noor, whichis priced at millions,
and refused. He took it to Pitlsburg, and
noted jewaler there told him that he did
not know how much it was worth, but no
house in the city was able to purchase it.
This completed his infatuation. He took it
to other jewellers who pronounced it no dia-
mond He also took it to Philadelphia
and New York. The Journal thus describes
his adventures here: Z ii-,tf SIS fac9- -9s8
Confidently he walked into Ball, Black
Il Co.'s, the eminent jewellers and demand
ed an inter ,iew with the proprie,ors. 1t
was granted, and our friend was usliered in
to a private room, when he coolly turned
the key in the door, and, to the infinite
surprise of Ball; Black d Co.. informed
them that he had in his pocket untold
wealth. Ball, Block d Co. congrat-
ulated him, and politely requested him
to inform them what earthly interest that
fact could be TO them. He answered moth
ing, but slowly drew from the breast pock
ct of his vest the stone, and asked how
much it was worth. Ball, Black. & Co.
answered that in country where stone
was scarce, it would be worth so much a
perch-they had really forgotten the exact
sum-but they would send and inquire, and
wound up by asking what his business was
with them. "Businessr' he gasped; "wby
to sell this diamond" They told him
they had no desire to invest in that pecu-
liar style of diamonds, and without at,
tempting to conceal their meriment, bow
ed him out. At Titfanys and all the
other leading houses in that line of trade
he met with the same success, and finally
determined that the jewellers of N. York
as well as those of Pittsburgh aud Phila-
delpha, were in league to swindle hlm out
of the diamond; and so he determined to
90 to Europe with it, and among the brok-
ers of London and Paris find market for
it. But fortunately, just as he was on the
point of embarking, he met with mer-
chant from Bucyrus who knew him, and
who finally succeeded in inducing him to
forego his European tour for the time be-
ing, at least, and brought him to his fami-
". He still believes the stone to be a
diamond, and will no doubt start soon up
on another wild goose chase to dispose of

Daily Paper at Salt Lake City.

The Valley Tim is the rather funny
name of daily journal commenced at
Salt Lake City, on the llth ulI., by Kirk
and Anderson, and conducted with some
spirit. 1t is not, we are inclined TO think,
in the interest of the Latter Day Saints
that is to say, it is purely secular paper,
and chronicles dog fights, put.s restaurants,
criticises theatrical performances, and SO on,
Just as if its editor was no better than one
of the wicked. The following paragraphs
would seem to indicate that humanity is
pretty much the same all over the world.
Only think Of bores, muses., and billiard
tables in the Capital City Of the Saints
What is the world coming To-?
wThere are great number of speci-
mems of the genus bore in this latitude,
men who seem to have nothing else to do
but loaf around and infict themselves at
times, when they are not wanted. They
are regular artesians, and run with big
augur.
A MUss.-Day before yesterday (Wednes-
day) afternoon, regular free fight occurred
in the vicinity of the Salt Lake House,
among crowd, as we understand, of team
sters. Rocks and dornics were freely dis
tributed, and several heads were hit. Some
of the parties struck in the melee were
mere lockers Oh, whose caputs were touch
ed, which might be said to make scratch
in street stone billiards. Three of the
players in this interesting game were holed
and their persons pocketed. a
Brown C1TY.-We understand that sew
eral contracts for the building of store and
other Improvements, in this new city, have
been entered into within the past week,
and the works will progress as fast as the
weather will permit. ts ...3
EgWe invite attention to the advertise
ment of Mr.. Wallace, in another part of
the paper. His Saloon, the Empire, is
choicely stocked with refreshments for the
sinner man." while his billiard tables up
stairs in the same establishment, afford a
pleasant place of resort for those who take
nm interest in this truly interesting game.

SCENTED OIL.-Some of these are sold
by perfumers at a very high profit they
can all be prepared at a very small expense.
Take quart of common olive oil, and heat
it in a stoneware vessel up to 2l2 degrees,
then add half an ounce of sal soda, and stir
all for fifteen minutes. Allow tie oil to
cool, and a sediment will fall to the bot
tom; pour off the clear, and scent it with
any Of the essential oils, such as rosemary,
bergamot, and lavender. One-fourtli of an
ounce of the essential oil will scent quart
of the prepared oil, which is very excellent
for the hair, and equal to Rowland's cele-
brated Maccassar oil, sold at such extrava-
giant prices.
LUcIFER MATCH CoMPosITIoN.-Take
one ounce and a half of glue, one ounce Of
phosphorus, two and half ounces of inter,
one ounce and aquarter of red ocher and
half an ounce of smalt. Having carefully
weighed out the ingredients, manipulate
as follows: First reduce the glue to a
smooth jelly in warm water, the tempera-
ture of which is not TO be above l45 degrees
Fahrenheit; now add the phosphorus and
stir the mixture till the latter is perfectly
divided into minute particles; then add
the remaing materials, and mix thenl,till
the whole is one uniform paste. The COM
position must be kept warm, but never
warmer than the thermometer heat above
mentioned. Finally, the matches are to
have their ends rubbed over hot iron
plate, and then dipped into the paste and
left to dry in an airy situation. Some man
ufacturers use all snalt instead of the ocher;
others use red lead in lieu of either. Pri-
vate individuals can not, of course, make
matches, but every one should know the ma
ture of common things. ss@G11i eif

DANGEROUS CoUNrERFEIrs. Nicholas
Bowman was arrested in Cincinnati last
with about S400 in counterfeit 500 bills
onthe State Bank of Troy in his posses
sion. The counterfeit was so well executed
that an attempt was made to prove the
money good. The best judges at the ex-
animation of Bowman, pronounced the
bills the most dangerous counterfeits that
have been issued. He claimed to have re-
eeived the money in Philadelphia for horses,
and was held TO bail in $500.

CharIestown Matters.


The Charlestown correspondent Of the Bal
timore American writes November 2l) as fol-
lows:
The day proved rather inauspicious, as the
sun failed to shine out and the air was rather
cool AT an early hour, however, our streets
were thronged by the military, and citizens
from our own and surrounding counties. 1t
having been whispered that there would be
dress-parade and a review of the military by
Governor Wise, at nine O'Clock in the morn
ing, the neighborhood of the courthouse
square was occupied by a large and anxious
crowd at that hour, expectation being on tip
toe TO see the Richmond military go through
the drill At last it was announced that the
review would not take place until four in the
afternoons; but the crowd were compensated
for the disappointment by the appearance OF
the Richmond Grays, so rank and ME, VINO
went through number OF miiitaTy eVoiuiohs
in manner which could hardly nave been
excelled. The Grays have the reputation Of
being one Of the best drilled volunteer COM
panies In the country, and their performances
on this occasion fully sustained their repu-
tation. Captain w. M. Elliott having been
placed in command of the regiments, on ac-
count of the sickness OF Col. Thos. p. August.
the Grays were under the command OF Lieut.
Bossieux. Il !.
The Virginia Rifemen and Young Guard
also paEaded in the morning, and received the
plaudits OF the large crowd for their soldierly
bearing. Company + did not parade until the
afternoon This com many has been organized

state OF discipline. Their dress corresponds
with that Of the Grays, and the two companies
