The extent that water mingles with
bodies apparently the most solid, is very
wonderful. The glittering opal, which
beauty wears as an ornament is only
flint and water. OF every twelve hun
dred tons of earth which landholder
has in his estate, four hundred arc water
The snow capped SUBMITS of Snowdon
and Ben Nevis have many million tons
Of water in solidified form. In every
plaster of Paris statue which an Italian
carries through our streets for sale, there
is one pound of water to every four
pounds Of chalk. The air we breathe
contains FIVE grains of water to each
cubic foot Of its bulk. The potatoes and
the turneps which are boiled for our
dinner, have, in their raw state, the one
seventy five per cent, the other ninety
per cent. of water. Ii man weighing

ally speaking, forty FIVE pounds of car
bon and nitrogen, diffused through five
and half pailsful of water. In plants
we find water thus mingling no less
wonderfully. A sunhower evaporates
one and quarter pints of water day,
and cabbage about the same quantity
A wheat plant exhales in hundred and
seventy two days about one hundred
thousand grains of water. An acre OF
wheat, on this calculation, draws and
passes ou. about ten tons Of water per
day. The sap of plants is the medium
through which this mass of fluid is con-
veyed. 1t forms delicate pump, up
which the watery PARTICLES run with the
rapidity of swift stream. By the ac-
tion of the sap, various properties may
be communicated to the growing plant.
Timber in France is, for instance, dyed

and poured over the root of the tree.
Dahlias are also coiored by similar pro-

Autumn and it's Less ons.

All that is earthly must fade. This
is an annual lesson taught by the falling
feaf, the withering frost, the silence that
prevades the air; and the wreck and
deep decay of vegetation as each return
ing autumn assumes her reign. An
other autumn is upon us. The tassels
of the corn are dead, and the husks Of
the pendent ears have lost their green.
The scythe has shorne the hay6elds Of
their last burden. Trees stretch their
naked branches towards the sky. Flow
er stalks that recently stood green and
glowing, bearing proudly up their wealth
OF floral beauty, are now withered and
dead. Autumn fruits lie thicklv scatter
ed beneath the trees that bore them !:
forests have dropped their nuts the
grauaries are already filed, and soon
housed and garnered the products Of the
year will await the grateful use Of man
and animal.
All thatis earthly must fade. We
all do fade as tbe leaf" Man has his
spring, his summer, his autumn. his
winter. Some leaves wait not for the
frost, and fall early, and we who grow
crisp and dry with age. and we Who
grow golden and glorious in the fross
of time, must alike follow them to the
earth. There are worm eaten fruits and
blasted corn ears in the fields Of humani-
ty as in the fields of vegetation. The
good ones only can find place in the
storehouses of the great husbandman
The lessons Of the autumn bears up and
illustrates the whole subject OF the close
of human life. The year is but hollow
farce without fruit as grand result. A
human life in its autumn, in which ia
seen no fruit, betrsys a preservation so
foul that it might make an angel weep,
and as the angels look down upon the
world. may they find graces which blush
like apples among the leaves, characters
well filed out and clean from all impu-
rity, true wisdom filling all the store
houses, and the seeds of an immortal
life perfected and resdy to be enfolded in
"Those everlasting garders
Nhere angels walk and seraDhs are the war
dens."

before he saw his daughter, and gave
him the letter from his dying wife. He
seemed deeply moved BY it, and told me
his history. @
He had married, when about forty, a
young and beautiful bride. She was
Just seventeen, and had all the foolish
ness and petteduess Of a spoiled child ;
he was 90 years older, and moreover, Of
nature stern, harsh, and unbending.
What wonder that the union was an un-
happy one? She lived with him only
three years. AT the end of that time,
provoked by the stern aature of her hus-
band and his fancied neglect, the young
wife ran away, carrying with her their
little girl, an infant of year old. She
changed her name to Murray, and he
did not know she had AN aunt in Ork
ney, and so could not find her retreat,
though he tried every means to recover
his lost wife and child. He seemed i'm
patient TO see his daughter, and after Ia
king her in, I at once withdrew. Who
could have Interrupted that strange
meeting +? 1t lasted many hours, and
the result Of it was that Miss c. was
to start for London with her father at
once. They left us with many deep ex
pressions of gratitude.
We often have letters from Miss G.
and her father. They have learned to
love each other deeply, and great is the
comfort of the Colonel to see from the
conduct of his sweet daughter, how we'll
she had been brought up. This, with
accounts received from friends in Ork-
ney, proved that Mrs. G. had grad.
ually changed from the foolish girl into
the thoughtful woman. Often she had
been on the point Of revealing all to her
daughter, but had kepti back by dread
of letting her innocent child know that
she had imposed on her so long.
The last accounts were that the inter
esting father and daughter had settled
down in the Isle Of Wright. and were
there leading peaceful, happy and re-
tired life,

happened in, one day, at the recent
session of the Board of Supervisors OF
Buchanan County, when they had under
discussion the question of granting a
bounty of fifty dollars to the boys who
enlisted in the 9th and 9th regiments Of
Iowa Volunteers, who have, as yet, re-
ceived no bounty from the County, and
| must say was much surprised, to see
so much indifference manifested by a
majority of the Board, in granting those
brave boys moiety of bounty, which
they have SO lavishly granted to those
who have recently enlisted under the
Presi lent's call for 800. 900 more troops.
The opposition to granting the bounty
appeared to eminate from the Copper
head side of the Board, but was success
fully backed up by majority of the Un-
ion members on the misersbe plea, that
81, 500 bounty to those brave boys

ton, that in granting a bounty TO those
two companies that went in the 9th and
9th regiments from this county, and all
others who had received no bounty,
would not exceed one hundred and fifty
soldiers. and consequently in granting
each and every one OF them bounty o.
