The Cherokee is said to be one Of IL

The Cherokee is said to be one Of the
most remarkable Of written or spoken Ian
guages. 1t is said that man may hold com
versation for weeks, without once having to
shut his mouth with any lodjo5 accent.
There are only two words in the language
which require it, So peculiar is the con.
struction of the language that it is said, no
adult white person was ever known to aquire
anything like an accurate pronunciation OF it.
TO be spoken plainly and correctly it must
be learned in infancy, before any other Ian
guage is acquired. The Roman alphabet ut
terly fails to express any considerable mum
Der Of sounds employed. They are express
ed by an alphabetical series, invented for,
and applied to that language alone This
series originally consisted OF 100 characters,
and no ingenuity Of man has yet been able
to reduce them below 86-as there are fully
that number of sounds used in expressing the
language. The language is cultural, and
the letters representing it were originally del
vised by a member Of the vtribe, who lived
and died an enemy to the innovations of
civilization; his greatest regret being that
his original .l20 characters were, IN the
hands Of Others, made the instruments of in

ually, though very slightly, descending every

FREE NEGRO PHILANTHRopY."-A French
philosopher has said that principle was
worth a thousond facts, remark, under GER
tain circumstances perhaps, true enough;
but that single fact is often worth thou
sand principles or what passes for such is
still more often the case. On last Sunday
evening the Rev. (?) DR.. Cheever preached a
sermon on the wrongs, inhumanities, sins
and devilments generally of society in the
South and closed his narrative of the atrocities
of slavery" by requesting the audience to
remain seated for a few moments while he
brought small matter before them in regard
to society in the North. lie said "colored"
family had lost a child, and being unable
themselves to do it, it had laid four days
without Christian burial in this great, hu-
name and moral y,and he asked them to
contribute few shillings to this small mat
ter of Christian charity! Our informant de-
csres that the audience rapidly disappeared
on this announcement; nevertheless we pre-
sumo sufficient money was given to bury tho
dead child of with us) a despised and out.
cast race. But what a fact-a fact that has
not occurred in a hundred wears, indeed
fact that never could or ever will happen in
the South, where the negro is always cared
and provided for in death rs in life, and
where a neglect or denial of Christian burial
like this reported 10y DR.. Cheever, would
not happen in thousand years.

Closing the Ledger for New Years Eve
BY HENRY MORFORD.

Close up the Ledger, Time.
Slowly and sadly, but let it be.
Mournfully passeth by the year;
What are the records for you and me
Left by the falling fingers here!
What for passions, what'for love?
What for avarice and crime?
What for hope and the Heaven above?
What of the Ledger, Time?
Close the Ledger, Time.
Many name, for good or i'll,
Fills to the margin your botted SCROLL
Many "a high and naughty will,
Many low but humble soul,
Yet one page to each is given.
Marking the changing path we climb,
Holding the balance Of He'll or Heaven;
What of the Ledger Time?
Close up the Ledger Time.
Say. are we creditors for aught:
Have we a store of noble deeds.
Sprnging from high and generous thought
Such as our fallen brother needs?
Have we laid up for coming years
Words TO weave in Il funeral rhyme
Name that will call up grateful tears?
What Of the Ledger, Time?
Close up the Ledger, Time.
Say what promise hope has drawn
Say what drafts stern truth has paid;
Say what bankrupt hopes have gone
In the grave with memory laid.
Say if the heart has kept its own,
Gathering beauty with lure and lime?
Say what fabrics are ovcrthrOwn
What Of the Ledger, Time?
Close up the Ledger, Time.
Iark. The knell Of the year goes by;
Have | run out my golden sand?
Where shall be when the next shall die?
Where shall the soul within me stand?
Naught beyond may the Ledger tell.
Naught be known but in guilt and crime;
Listen! | hear the New Years bell
Shut up the Ledger, Time.

GONG TO DECAY.-The new Houses of
Parliament, in London e, ected only few
years since at immense cost, and distin'
guished for their imposing dimensions and
ornate architecture, are going to decay. 1t
was supposed that the structure wonld en
dure for ages as monuments of the architects
taste and the scul ptor's skill, hu: the stones
of which it was built are already crumblng.
To arrest if possible, the further distintegra
ton of the splendid pile, the British Govern
ment appointed Il commission of scientific
men to investigate the cause Of decay, ascer-
tain if any remedies could be applied, and
report the result of their labors. The re-.
port has lately appeared, and gives some val
liable information as to the most durable
kinds of stones for expensive structures; but
upon the all important question of a remedy
to check the premature decay of the Parlia
ment Houses, the report affords little conso
lation

cav most emphatticaly we do not approve

We are for peace, and have contended for
that desirable objectfrom the commencement

upon all law abiding and good citizens to dis

An intelligent lady, whose little boy was
beginning to swear, anxious to express to her
child the horror of profanity, hit upon the
plan Of washing out his mouth with soap
suds whenever he swore. 1t was an efectuRl
cure. The boy understood his mothers
sense of the corruption of an oath, which,
with the taste of suds, produced the dsired
result. The practice, if universally adopted,
would raise the price of soap.

LICE on FowLs-1he Geneseo Farmer
says
This is the season when fowls are infected
with vernin. Setting hens are quite liable
to become to infected with lice, that their
nests and egg are frequently covered with
hem. A few ounces of pulverized supher,
scattered in the nests and among the feat herr
of the hens, will prove n remedy. Chickens
that become lousy should be rubbed upon
the top of the head and under their wings
with lamp oil; but not a great deal should
be applied, as it sometimes, when applied
too freely does more harm than good. Lime
and ashes should be sprinkled freely in the
hen roost and upon the perches.
