Mr.. Elliott wanted the monument where

TIE BIBLE.

This book is all that's left me now,
Tears will uIbiddcn start,
With flltering lips and throbbing brow,
Ipress it to my heart.
For many generations past,
Here is our family tree;
My mothers hand this Bible clasped,
Then dying gave it me.
My father read this holy book,
To brothers, sisters dear,
How calm was my poor mothers look,
Who loved Gods word to hear.
Her angel face, see it vet,
What thronging memories come,
Again that little group are met
Within the walls of home
All, well do remember those,
Whose ntmes this record bears.
Who round the hearth stone used to close
Alter the evening prayer
And speak of what its pages said,
In tones my heart would thrill.
Though they are with the silent dead
Here are the living still.
Thou truest friend man ever saw,
Thy constancy Eve tried
Though all be false, I've found thee true.
Ny counselor and guide
The mines of earth no treasures give,
That could this volume buy;
In teaching me the way to live,
1t taught me how to die.

important to Farmers.-.Iow to n-c-or
Smrt in Wheat.


We are indebted to Mr.. II. G.. Carmi
chacl, Commission Merchant of this city
for the following valuable information
with reference to the preparation of seed
wheat. The process has been fully tested
by farmers in England and Ireland, with
entire success:
To PreecM Smut in Dissolve
half a pound of Sulphatc of Copper in
three quarts of boiling water. After the
mixture has cooled, sprinkle it over two
bushels of wheat, stirring it through until
the whole be wet. Put it up in heap,
turning it occasionally for an hour, when
it will be ready for sowing
Should wet weather or any other cause
prevent it being sown Immediately, spread
it thin!y on dry floor. giving it an occa-
sional turning, and it will not suffer injury
for weeks
The above was received from very in
telligent as well as extensive farmer and
miller. who says. in regard to it:
Where this has been carefully carried
out. it has been found elfcctual in preren-
ing smut in wheat. OF course, no man
should sow smutty wheat, but even smutty
wheat will produce grain perfectly free
from smat, if it he carefully dressed as
above The reason that Sulphatc of Cop
per produces this result. is. that smut being
a fungus. which. when the balls are bro
ken, attaches itselfto the ends of the wheat,
andin many cases kills the wheat and grows
in its place. The solution kills the fur-
gus. but it is not powerful enough to hurt
the wheat. Care should he taken to pre-
vent any animal eating grain dressed with
this preparation. as it is poisonous. - Gin

Interesting from Japar-Deafh Of the
Emperor for Signing the Treaty.


Emperor for signing tho Treaty.
Lieut.. IIaJerslaw, Of the L. s. steamer
Powhatan, writes the Philadelphia Ledger
from Japan. under date of Oct. lst, 1858,
as follows:
Let me now tell you Of some tragic as
we'll as interesting events, which are said
to have already howei from it, You must
first know, that though "olt of the world, f"

This latter comes overland by a special
messenger. who sometimes rides, some
times walks, and again proceeds by water.

posts" came in. and the next day the in
tcrpreters gave our Dnteh frienls of Des-
ma the Ycddo news; they in turn. passed
it over to us. 1t was said that after the
signing of our last treaty. (29th of July
ult. it was sent by the Tai Keon, or I'm
perisl Emperor az YcdsIo. to the Mikalo,
or Spiritual Emperor at Miaco for his ap-
proval. The latter. however, who is said
to be a young man of eighteen, aware Of
his rights and power, determined to enforce
them, refused his approval on the ground
that he should have been consulted previ-
Gus to the signing of the treaty, and de-
parting boldly from the timd policy OF his
more immediate predecessors. initiated that

ruler" Cor Tai -Keon. that in obedience
to the laws Of Japan, the time had come
for him to commit .'IIarikart" The
Great Ruler therefore stabbed himself in
the bowels, receiving at the same moment
a severe blow on the back of his neck, from
a friend and relative, which dislocating the
vertebra, produced instant death. This
bold stand on the part Of tloir Miekado,
who has bccn treated by late Tai Keons
more as puppet than master. has star
tied the Japanese, and caused them to ex-
pcct some great changes. What these are

the mint at San Francisco. The sulphur
appears to be constantly forming from a
dam, steam continually rising over the

sulphur, hot spring arises in the edge of

strongly impregnated with boracic acid.--
Five or SIX miles west of this, south of
Clear Lake, is another borax lake.

WHY DON'T YOU LEARN A TRADE.

This question was propounded d. in our hear,
ing q few days since, to a young man who hao
been for several months unsuccesstully seck-
ing employment as a clerk or salesman IN
some O four leading houses. Complaining OF
his ill luck, one of his friends who knew he
had a mechanical talent, but doubted wheth-
er he could make himself useful either as a
clerk or salesman, put the interrogatory to
him which we have placed at the head OF
this article. The reply was-not so respecta-
BILE as q mercantile occupation y! Under
this delusioe idea, our stores arc crowded with
Young men who have no capacity for the bust
ness, and who, because of the fancied resPecc-
liability of doing nothing, waste away Their
minority upon salaries which cannot possibly
liquidate their expenditures.
Late, too late in life, they discover their
error, and before they reach the age of thir'
ty, many of them look with envy upon the
thrifty mechanic, whom in the days OF their
boyhood, they were accustomed to deride'.~
The false responsibility which prevails IN
the soidisant fashionable society of the pre-,
sent day, has ruined thousands OF young
men, and will ruin thousands more.

what sOMBRERo GUAN0 does contain, We beg
to refer to the following list Of eminent chemists in
different parts Of the world, who have analysed diff
