CLOSED FOR REPARs.-A good one is told!o:
old Judge l.. His Honor kept demijohn OF
good old Jamaica in his private Office, for his
own comfort and the entertainment of his par
ticular friends. The Judge had noticed Tor
some time that on Monday mornings his Ja-
maica was considerably lighter than he left il
on Saturday nights. Another fact had gradu-
ally established itself in his mind. His son
Sam was missing from the paternal pew in
church on Sundays. One Sunday afternoon
Sam came in and went up stairs rather heavi-
ly, when the Judge hailed him -
ssSam. where have you been 2''
.HTo church, sir, was the prompt reply.
ssWhat church, Sam 2'' :.
ssSecond Unitarian, SIR"
ssHad you good sermon, Sam 2"
ssPowerful. sir; it quite staggered me, SIR"
ssAh! L see,'' said the Judge, ssquite pow
erful, eh, Sam l''
The next Sunday the son came home rather
earlier than usual, and apparently not much
ssunder the weather." His father hailed himl
"Well, Sam, been to the Second Unitarian
again to-day rs
''Yes, sir" replied Sam slowly.
"Good sermon, my boy 2''
stFact was, father, that couldn't get in;
church shut up, and ticket on the door,"
'sSorry, Sam, keep going-you may get good
by it yet"
Sam says on going to the Office for his usual
spiritual refreshment, he found the "John'
empty, and bearing the following label -
ss1here iri be seruice here today, this church
being closed for repairs !''

CHEATING THE Subsistence and practice
unite in averring that when the farmer cheats
the soil, he cheats himself. Science asserts
that when the soil gives up to the husband
man more than it receives in return, it grows
poor; and experience, have no doubt, will
confirm the fact, that it is equally improbable
for the farmer. Furnish nature with the ma
terial, and she will manufacture for you with
aut charge the valuable products you may
covet. Rob her of the means of labor, and
her returns will be scanty. She cannot work
out miracle. l believe that many of our far
mers pursue very impolitic course. That
only is valuable in farm which is capable OF
being converted into vegetation, or in some
way aids in the growth of plants and that is
the most valuable portion which may in the
least time be transformed into garden vegetable
products. Every crop selects the most avail
able part of the soil, and when removed from
the field, the land is deprived of that part of
itself which was especially useful in producing
the crop. The soil, as it were, becomes cul-
led each season parting with its most valua.
bic constituents, and in a short time all that
was worth anything is gone. The man con-
tinues to own his land, but has lost his farm.
1t will usually take but little while to dis
pose of all that is valuable in the soil; the
farmer owns the same number of acres he pur-
chased, on which he can pay his annual tax
but the farm he bought has been sold.-Prof.
Fisk's .4dIress.

1t is surprising to what an extent seemingly
useless articles are utilized in the manufactu-
ring arts. For instance
The prussiate of potash is made in quanti-
ties in Cincinnati, from hoofs, horns and 9TH
er refuse of slaughtered grunters.
Old ropes are converted into fine note pa
per, and the waste paper itself, which is pick
ed up in the cutters of the streets, is again
re-converted into broad white sheets, and thus
does duty in revolving stages.
The parings of skins and hides, and the ears
of COWS, calves and sheep are carefully coll
lected and converted into glue.
Bones converted into charcoal by roasting Ia
retorts are afterwards employed for purifying
the white sugar we use TO sweeten coffee, &c.
Old copper scraps are used in the construc.
tion of splendid bronze chandeliers for illumi.
mating our large churches and the mansions OF
the wealthy.
Old horse shoe nails are employed to make
the famons steel and twist barrels Of fowlin9
pieces.
Oyster shells are burned in kilns and after
wards used in making cements, their base be-
ing pure lime.

SEcRETs.-We laugh at woman's tongue,
and wonder when woman keeps a secret; but
every woman Keeps box of choice reserves
for her own private Indulgence. The mans
mysteries are not hers if he ca not keep them
to himself let him expect them to be blown
abroad. Her own secrets Of love, of loss, of
self-denal, Of unsupported suffering, no wo-
man exposes to her nearest friend. There
never lived husband happy in the true love
of his wife, who fairly knew all the depths of
her mind about him. Every man profits stu
pldly by the wise little perceptions that arise
SO quietly, and have no utterance except in
deeds, of which we vaguely ascribe the fitness
to special faculty called woman tact Wo-
men, in short, keep to themselves four-fifths of
the secrets of society, and do it with win
ming air of frankness all their own. A man
with secret will be stony or portentious. or
provekingiy Suggestive; he will keep his
mouth shut ostentatiously. A woman is too
absolutely secret to set up public sigh over
whatever may lie buried in her mind. She
gossips. prattles, pours out what she does not
careto hold, with such an air of unreserved
simplicity, that all mankind is mystified, and
says. in friendly jest, ga woman only hides
what she don't know.''

IMPRISONED IN vAuLr1s YEARS.

A newspaper published at Colama, Mexico,
on the 24th of October, tells the following
rightful story, and calls upon the pub lie to
punish the criminals :--ssWhen Gen. Pueblita
entered the town of Ayo, in September last.
he exacted forced loan from the people, and
share of it fell upon the curate of the place.
The curate acted as though he would pay but
he did not make his appearance at the point
designated for payment, and Gen.P .Pueblita or
dered him to be arrested. A party of men
went to his dwelling and knocked at the door;
there was no answer and they broke in. They
found no one in the house, and were about to
leave it, when they heard frghtful voice,
proceeding from the ground, saying al am
hungry 20 The officer in command went back
to Gen. Puebita and told him about the voice.
The General appointed commission to ex-
anime the house. This commission went to
the curate's dwelling, and after careful ex-
animation, they found movable stone in the
floor, and under this was a stairway leading
down TO vault, which was entirely dark, snd
had no connection with the air, save by ths
staircase, and a small hole that served
ventilator. In this vault, were some books,
few articles of furniture, and woman who
had been shut up there for eighteen years.
She was taken to Gen. Pueblita's quarters.
When brought into the light, where she saw
a number OF persons, she tainted. After she
had returned TO her senses, a thousand ques-
tions were asked of her, to which she replied
only that she had been buried in that vault for
eighteen years, without going out for a mo-
ment; that she had been married, and had
children by her husband but she knew nothing
of their fate that, while imprisoned in the
vault, she had had children by the curate, but
she knew nothing of what had become of these
children; and after saying this much became
obstinately silent. While this was passing, q
sergeant of the Pueblita Brigade, then present,
discovered that this woman was his mother,
and she recognized him as her son and en-
braced him. The son then ran for his father,
who came and recognized his wife. The hus-
band, fifteen years ago, was imprisoned three
years under charge of having murdered his
wife, this woman.''

Ore of the religious papers has the follow
ing strong remarks on the religion of paying
debts. They drive the nail up to the head and
clinch it:-ssMen may sophisticate as they
please. They can never make it right, and all
the bankrupt laws in the universe cannot make
itright for them not to pay their debts. There
is sin in this neglect as clear and as deserv.
ing of church discipline as stealing or false
swearing. He who violates his promise to
pay, or withholds the payment of debt, when
it is in his power to meet his engagement.
ought to be made to feel that in the sight OF
all honest men he is swindler. Religion
may be very comfortable cloak, under which
to hide but if religion does not make man
sdeal JUSTLY it is not worth having"

SPEAK no ILL.

Hay, speak no i'll kindly word
Can never leave a sting behind;
And, oh to- breathe each tale we've hsazc
Is far beneath a noble mind.
Full oft better seed is sown,
BY choosing thus the kinder plan;
For if but little good be known,
Still let us speak the best we can,
Give US the heart that fain would hide,
Would fain another faults efface;
How can it please cen human pride
To prove humanity but base
No. let us reach higher mood,
A nobler sentiment of man;
Be earnest in the search of good,
And speak of ell the best We can,
Then speak no i'll. but lenfent bs
To ether's failings az yoar cwn;
II you re the first fault to see,
BE not the first to make it known.
For life is but passing day,
No lip may tell how brief its span;
Then. oh the little time we stay,
Let's speak of all the best we can.

A NOVEL LUxURY.-The latest novelty 10 o,
musical bed, which receives the weary body
and immediately "laps it into Elysum." It.
is an invention of a mechanic in Bohemia, and
is so constructed that by hidden mechanism
pressure upon the bed causes soft and gentle
air of Auber to be played, which continues to-
lull the most wakeful to sleep. At the head
is a clock, the hand of which being placed ~
the hour the sleeper wants to rise, when the
time arrives the bed plays march of Spontani,.
with the drum and symbols, and, in short, with
noise enough to arouse the seven sleepers.

Here is an illustration Of the vicissitudes of
fortune. A few years ago one of the most ac-
tive and successful business men in the city of
Hudson was Leonard Wells. Everything be
touched turned into money. He once made
$4,000 in an hour, by a purchase and sale OF
a piece of real estate. Fifteen years ago Mr..
Wwas worth 10000. Shortly after this luck
turned against him. He lost $4,000 by buy
ing stock in the Hudson and Berkshire Rail-
road. This was followed by other losses, cans
ed by Endorsements. In less than eighteen
months Mr.. w. passed from affluence to ex-
treme poverty-from being worth $40 200 to
being worth not one cent. He is now a resi-
dent of Albany, N. Y, and earns living for
himself and family by peddling candies, ap-
ples and doughnuts.

was Mr.. Cobb who first took advantage of his
skill and talent, and from that day he has been
consulted by all the Speakers. When new
Congress assemblies, it is curious to observe
how rapidly he becomes acquainted with the
names and appearance of the members; and
those who applaud the Speaker for bis readi-
ness and proficiency, do not know that the quiz

quently puts the words in the Speakers mouth.

THE PRINTING INvEsTIGATIoN.-The Com
mittee appointed to investigate the printing of
the last Congress, are bringing to light some
facts which show the most shameless corrup-
tion on the part of the Superintendent. Wen
dell, to whom the contract was awarded two
years ago. testifies to having paid over
hundred thousand dollars for the support of
party newspapers, all over the country. The
Pennsyfuanian and the Evening Argus at Phil
adelphia, both Administration organs, came in
for full share of the plunder, the former
having received six thousand, and the latter
five thousand dollars of the spoils. Bowman,
Of the Constitution, required Mr.. Wendell to
pay him twenty thousand dollars per annum to-
wards the support of that paper, portion of
which was paid, and an order given for the
remainder. Since Bowman's election to the
place of public printer, Wendell says he has
forgotten the many favors he received at his
hands, and has arranged TO have portion of
the work executed by Jarrett, the publisher
of the Nnow-N othing organ at Buffalo. Wen
dell is now poor, and has all the materials of
an extensive printing office on his hands at
Washington.

Hollow Horn IN Cows.-A correspondent of
the Germantown Telegraph, communicates tho
following :-ssI formerly did, as everybody
else did, with case of this disease, viz: Bore
the horns, cut the tail ,and turpentine the back,
which oftentimes gave relief. But for the last
two years, have practised differently, being
a method that was informed rarely failed in
curing case of this kind. 1t is thus Take
one tablespoonful of fine saltpetre, one do.
of fine salt, one do. of ground black pepper ;
add to this flour and water enough to make
into pills; it will make three about the size of
a hulled walnut. These make the cow swal-
low in this way have her tied IN the stable.
take hold of her nose, open her mouth and
drop ore in at time, after she swallows give
her another in the same way and SO on. Gen
orally one dose is sufficient if she is not bet
ter. repeat the dose the following day. 1t has
never failed to cure for me. 1t would not be
prudent to let the COW out in rain or rongh
weather for a day or so after giving the above
medicine"
