A DIAMOND SToRY-The California cor respondent of The Herald, says that story is current at a mining camp called Knights Ferry about thirty miles from Stockton, which partakes somewhat of the marvellous Recently party of miners were working an ordinary claim, in that vicinity with sluice and hydraulic pipe. About dark the pipe man saw an object which he had washed out of the bank, lie gllttering in pile of stones and dirtwhich were to be washed through the sluice. The gleams from the " object lit up all the space in the vicinity, much to the as tonishment of the workmen The pipeman picked it up and started to show it to one of his comrades; but, alas he stumbled and dropped the glittering gem into the sluicc, and 1t was borne down the torrentof waterin into the bris of the trail race, and lost It is rep resented to be larger than the Koh-i-noor.

COMMITTING THE BIBLE TO MEMORY A religious gentleman in Massachusetts offer ed several prizes of Bibles to those, old or young, who should commit to memory and re- peat the largest portion of the Bible The following reports of passages have been re- celved, certified by the superintendent or pas tor: Mrs. Betsy Conant, who has been re- siding in Melrose, lady sixty-eight years of age, has committed to memory the entire Bi- ble, Old and New Testament, reciting each day in the week. This is certified by her daught- CT, and also by the superintendent of the Sab bath-school; and the lady is entitled to the first Bible. An Irish servant girl repeated nearly 1000 verses, three other females re- peated above that number, and list is append ed of some twenty more who were able to re- peat from 5000 to 9 9,000 verses. It is notice able that more than two-thirds of the success ful competitors are females, showing how strong the faculty of memory is among the sex as a general rule.

TELL YOUR WIFE.-If you are in any trouble or quandary, tell your wfe-that is, if you have one-all about it at once Ten to one her invention will solve your difficulty sooner than all yonr logic The wit of woman has been praised, but her instincts are quick CT and kcener than her reason. Counsel with your wife or your mother or sister and be assured light will flash upon your darkness. Women are too commonly adjudeed as yer dant in all but purely womanish affairs. No philosophical student of the sex thus judges them. Their munitions. or insi@hts. are the most subtle, and if they cannot see eat in the meal, there is no cat there In counsellng a man to tell his trouble to his wife, We would go farther and advise him to keep none of his affairs secret from her. Many a home has been happily saved, and many a fortune retrieved, by mans full confidence in his "bettcr half-' Woman is far more a seer and prophet than man, if she be given fair chance As d general rule, wives conhde the minutest of their thoughts and plans to their husbands, having no inyolyements to screen from them. Why not reciprocate, if but for the pleasure of meeting confidence with con- idencc? We are certain that no man suc- ceeds so well in the world as he who, taking partner for life, makes her the partner of all his purposes and hopes. What is wrong of his impulse or judgment she will check and set right with her almost universally right in- stincts. Helpmeet' was no insignificant t. tie, as applied to mans companion. She is a meet help to him in every darkness, difficulty, and sorrow oflife And what she most craves and most deserves, Is confdence-without which love is never free from shadow

During an evening prayer meeting, one member was praying with much earnestness and an abundance of zeal rubing and spatting his hands, shouting at the top of his voice. whilst a number of other members were chim- ing in, endorsing what the praying member said, and joining in the entreaty and sUpplica- ton by such exclamations as ''yes, do Lord" yes, Lord, i" etc; the praying member went on with his prayer, growing more and more excited, more animated, more enraptured be- seechingly supplicating and imploring-say- ing, "Come down here, Lord-come right down among us-come right here tonight come, come right through the roof" Anoth- CT member, equally excited and enthusiastic, and who, 1t seems, was carried away by the shouting brother and had the tantrums about as bad, here joined in and said-.'Yes, come, Lord, down through the roof, and I'll pay for the shingles r'

ARRIVAL OF BLOOD SToCK.-We learn from the Lexington Observer and Reporter, that eight splendid Allies, recently purchased in England by lessrs. Dudley and Bruce, the agents of the Company formed there some tune since, arrived Tn that city on Friday in fine health and condition. Nine were shipped from England, but one of them was left at Philadelphia, having beena slightly injured during the passage. These animals are of the most approved blood in England, and their appearance fully justifes their lineage.- Messrs. Dudley and Bruce are still in Eng land, not having completed their purchase

A JURY REBUKED. jury in the case of Patrick Hennessey, tried at New York on Wednesday for arson, came into court at night with a verdict of guilty of arson in the third degree" through the indictment was for ar son in the first degree, and the district attor- ney consented that the crime shosld be brought in arson in the second degree. The next morning, the jury being all present in court, the judge epoke to them and of their verdict as fnHows:
 ''Booause a jury have merely the physical power ot finding person guilty of an afense i they have no right, in any shape or manner to convict thls prisoner of arson in the third degree They were told expressly and ex- picitg, as matter of law, that if they. found the prisoner set the building on fire. their du- ty was to find him guilty of arson in the see on9degree. By their finding the jury found tPht the prisoner kindled fire. and they pro- slmed to overrule the court on a question of iaw, and 1 say here emphatically, that t is as absolutely moral perjury in the witness-box. Now, will observe that the court does not sit here as a mere matter of farce marnIr, to tell the jury what the law is, and it is just as much matter of accident, without knowino anything of arson in the third or fortietb de7 gree, whether they give conviction that would entltle the prisoner to new trial as whether 1t rains or shines to-day. The duty ot the jury IS to take the law from the courf. and merely because they have the physical power to say yes or mo" gives them no right to transcend the directions given. Tbev were informed distinctly that the fact of the firing was all they had to do with, and so fa,, as they travelled beyond the instruction of the court, and presumed themselves to constrpe the law, they, to extent, violated their oaths to give verdict only on the facts.

How TO TREAT THE BITE OF A Doc. Dr. Stephen Ware of Boston, in his testlmo- ny in recent case which grew out of the in- juries from the bite of dog, furnished the following advice:
 In the case of the bite by dog where the teeth of the animal penetrated the flesh, whether the dog was known to be mad or not he should use the same precautions. He would wash the wound with warm water, eX- tract all the virus possible by sucking the wound with his lips, and then cauterize it deeply with the caustic mostreadily obtained, but should use potash if 1t could be procured at once.
 The time in which the effects of the bite of a rabid dog would be seen, varied from two to three days to as many years, but If no ef- fleets were felt after two or three months, as a general thing the patient might consider himself safe Bites made through clothing are seldom productive of much harm, as even if the dog is mad the clothing absorbs the virus before the teeth reach the flesh. Most of the fatal cases are where the person was bitten on some naked part

AMERICAN NATIONAL SONG.

AMERICAN NATIONAL SONG. o say, can you see by the dawns early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gieaming, Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight, Ger the ramparts We watched so gallantly stream And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in Gave proof through the night that flag was there.
 say, does that star-8pangled banner yet wave Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave? On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
 Where the foes naughty host in dread silence reposes, What is that which the breeze, OCT the towering steep,
 A. it ftfuly blows, half conceals, half discloses? Now it catches the gleam of the mornings first beam In full glory reflected now shines on the stream :; 'Tis the star-spangled banner; o, long may it wave
 Der the land of the free and the home of the brave. And where is that band who so vauntingly swore, Mid the havoc of war and the battles confusion A home and country should leave us no more, Their blood hath washed out their foul footsteps pollution; No refuge could save the hireing and slave From the terror of flight the gloom of the grave And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
 Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave. o! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand, Between their loved homes and the wars deso- lation: Blessed with victory and peace, may the Heaven rescued land,
 Praise the power that hath made and preserved us nation; Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just And this be our motto, In God is our trust '' And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
 Ger the land of the free and the home of the brave.

The following is story of Rev. Dr. Morse : Atan Association dinner, debate arose as to the benefit of whipping in bringing up chil- dren. The doctor took the affirmative. and his chief opponent was a young minister, whose reputation for veracity was not very high. He affirmed that parents often did harmto their children by unjust punishment, from not knowing the facts of the case. "Why," said, he, the only time my father ev CT whipped me was for telling thetruth."
 "Well, " retorted the doctor, ''it cured you of it, didn't itg'
