IMPORTATION OF BoNEs-It is reported in some of the papers that ship load of human bones have been landed in one of the Eastern ports from the Crimea. These bones, 1t is said, have been gathered up from the battle fields of Scvastopol, where they have lain since the memorable battles of that place. Whether these bones are really human bones we will not attempt to say, but the fact of their importation into this country is proof positive that some of our American farmers are begilAing to see the importance of hus- banding all the resources within their reach that will add to the fertility of the soil. It is a fact that the bones on the battle fields of Napoleon the l. were gathered up and served as manure for the wheat fields of Great Brit ain, and since that time thousands of tons of animal bones have been exported from this country to England for the same purpose. Besides thousands of tons of bones reared from the products of American soil and cone to that country, nearly the entire stock Of the oil cake of this country has found the same market, and after having served the purpose of fattening the beef and mutton raised in that country, has finally reached the fields of the British farmers in the form of manue. While our surplus grain is exported to other countries, our farmers would do well to retain at home the bones of our slaughtered animals. and the cake from our oil mills. to sustain tle wasting fertility of our own soil, as well as to husband every other species of refuse matter upon the farm that can in any way answer the same end

STUPIDITY OF HOLSTERS. ..-Lobsters says Dr. Buckland, if left on the rocks, never 20 back of their own accord; they wait until the tide comes to them. This peculiarity was ob- served after a great landslide on the coast of Doryetshire, England, which by its great weight forced up 3 portion of the bottom of the sea. On this suddenly elevated bit of ground there happened to be several Holsters, who doubtless thought the low tide had taken place with uncommon celerity, and that it would return again. Anyhow, the foolish creatures waited for the tide to come up and cover them. Of course 1t never did come up again; they remained in their places and died there, although the water was, in many in- stances, only few feet from their noses. They had not the sense to tumble into it and save their lives.

HOUR FLAG WHEN I'VE PARE"

The following lines were recently found pasted on the wall of an old house in Newark, New Jer- sey, and were probably written many years ago: Oh. what will become of that flag when we part ? Shall it droop OCT the toom of our national fame Shall it stream OCT the wreck, when each hope oi
 the heart
 Has abandoned the wreck to oblivion and shame When that banner of glory forever is fured,
 Shall each gem be reset and translated afa2? Shall the bright constellation that lighted world Be e-placed by distant and desolate star: Rather heap it's proud trophies, and over them cast This all of our honor-this shroud of our shame; Fire the pile. fling the ashes abroad the blast: It was born amid storm-let it perish in flame

FABLE FOR NAUGHTY CHILDREN WHO WANT TO BREAK UP THE HoUsEHoLD.-I will tell youa pretty fable. Not new one for very likely you have heard It betoEF, But this pretty fable has moral, and your pauohty conduct makes me very much fear that the printer has left 1t out of your story book. Ii ear the fable and shen the-moral.
 An old man had many sons who often ouarreIed with one another. When the father had interposed his authority, ans to no purpose used every means to reconcile them. he at last resorted to this expedlent. He ordered his sons to be called before him, and a bundle of short sticks to be brought. Each son was then commanded to try if with all his might and strength he could break the bundle All made the attempt, but yainly for the sticks being closely and compactIy bound together. could be broken by no man.
 Now each take single stick, and prove whether you be able to break 1t, which each didwith all imaginable ease.
 |" Oh, my sons" said the old man, behold the power of unity, for if you, in like man. her would but keep yourselves conjoincd in the bonds of friendship, 1t would not be in the power of any mortal to hurt you; but when once the ties of brothcrly affection are dissolved, how soon you become exposed to every injurious hand that assaults you"
 N1ral :. J,,ion is .Etrcagth. Dear naughty children. remember this moral is more pre- servatiye than platforms, more consultative than Constitutions, more satisfactory than the sword. Il, II.

CAPTURE OF RoBBER UNDER UIrFI- CULTIEs-An Olney, Illinois, correspondent of The Vincennes Sun gives the following account of the arrest of Thread. the mail robber, in that place few days ago:
 ?. M Cullen, of Olney, notified Gilmore. special agent, of the whereabouts of Thread the mail robber, whose presence was much desired at Springfield before a dissolution of the Union made the United States Court of no account. Last night Gilmore, Sheriff Johns Constable Lynch, and two or three others took hack for Edwards county, a few miles north of Albion, to investigate the house of one Peters, the brother-in-law of Thread where it was reported Thread was Sc reted
 About midnight the posse arrived, and after secreting the axes and other deadly weapons about the premises, opened the unlocked door, entered Threads room, pulled him out of bed, and handcufed him in a moment, amidst the cries of "Oh, sister , Peters Help. murder"
 Mrs. Peters, who is a young, athletic woman, struck the floor in her night-gown like a she tiger-gaye a scream and called Bull" seized a hickory stick and laid out Gilmore Timber and helpless. The dog fol- lowed and took Johns by the leg. Peters caught Lynch and downed Lim-a French man of the company came to his rescue-a blow with the fearful stick, aimed at Johns head, caught in the folds of the heroine s night-goHn and saved the head of that "public functionary or eight shots made the dog silent forever-a lamp broken over the females head, cooled her arlor-yarious kicks, cuffs and bufets sent Peters off for help. Thread would not move to get into the hack 80 by the hair, legs and clothes he was thrown in-brou9ht to Omey, and is now OH his way to Springfield by railroad.

PICTURES.

No house, no matter how simple or lowly its occupants, should be without few DIG lures, even should they be but the rude two penny sketches that grace the meanest book stall. There is depth of enjoyment, a world of chaste and pleasurable emotion to the educated intellect to be found Tn the presence and contemplation of paintings, which must be felt to be understood; and the same kind of joy though in different man ner and degree, can be experienced by the rudest and most uncultivated mind. 4 room can never be gloomy, the walls of which are decorated with few engravings or paintings :; these furnish food for thought, give the mind q refuge for its vagaries and emotions, and to the imagination a world i'll which to roam with unrestrained freedom and delight.
 The rude sketches that adorn the walls of q country inn, afford pleasure and subject for study, to the waytarer, no matter what hiS means of knowledge or station may be; thls only proves the grace and divinity of art, and its power and influence over both mind and heart The presence of pictures in the house always betokens signs of gentleness and taste in the occupants, and with them hoyel be- comes in as great degree to Its inmates a seat of refinement and elevated feelings as palace of art to its titled and lordly owner Many persons forbear to indulge in the lax ury of pictures because they cannot buy costly ones this is a sad mistake; the plaln- est ketch, the simplest engraving is better than no picture at all, and will serve, though not perhaps in so large measure, to elevate 4ba mind and minister tO the intellectual wants of its possessor.
 Let then, every apartment be graced with a picture of some kind, If 1t be desirable that gentleness, amenity, and good temper should reign in the household, and that bright and cheerful thoughts, like angels breathing, may fall on home and hearth.

POETICAL.
THE VOTCELESS.
BY OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES.

We count the broken Tyres that rest
 Where the sweet wailing singers slumber, But Ter their silent sisters breast
 The wild flowers, who will stop to number? A few can touch the magic string,
 And noisy Fame IS proud to win them; Alas for those that never sing,
 But die with all their music in them Nay, grieve not for the dead alone,
 Whose song has told their hearts sad story; Weep for the voceless, who have known
 The cross without the crown of glory Not where Leucidian breezes sweep
 Der Sappho's memory-haunted pillow, But where the glistening night-dews weep
 Ger nameless sorrows church-yard pillow. Oh! hearls that break and give no sign
 Save whitening lip and fading tresses, Till Death pours out his cordial wine
 Slow-dropped from Miscry's crushing presses 1; If singing breath or echoing chord
 To every hidden pang were given, What endless melodies were poured,
 As sad earth, as sweet heaven.

OCCUPATION OF THE AGRICULTURIsT.- No man is so high as to be independent of the success of this great interest; no man is so low as not to be effected by its prosperity or decline Agriculture feeds us; to . great extent it clothes us; without it we could not have manufactures, and we should not have commerce. These all stand together, but they stand together like pillars in cluster, the largest in the centre, and that largest is agriculture. We live in country of small farms and freehold tenements country in which men cultivate with their own fee sim pie acres, drawing not only their subsistence, but also their spirit of independence and manly y freedom from the ground they plow They are at once its owners, cultivators and defenders. The. cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of men. Man may be civilized in some degree, without great progress in manufactures, and with little commerce with his distant neighbors; but without cultivation of the earth, he is, in all countries a savage. When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.

/. BRoILED STEAK.-Should be cut from a well-kept trump, and they are generally liked about three-quarters of an inch thick Most cooks beat them with rolling pin for ten minutes, but, if the meat Is of good quality and the rump has been wel-kept, there will be no necessity for this. Just before finish ing, rub a lump of butter over and lightly dredge with pepper and salt. Pickles and scraped horse-radish make good garnish and for sauce-suit your taste.
