A BEAUTIFUL SESrIMENr.-Shortly after the
departure of the lamcnted Heber for India, he
preached a sermon which contained this beauti-
ful illustration
:. Life bears us on like the stream of mighty
river. Our boat at first glides down the narrow
chnnnel--through the playful mnrmurings OF
the little brook and the windings of its grassy
borders. The trees shed their blossoms over
our young heads, the flowers seem to offer them
selves to the young hands we are happy in
hope, and grasp eagerly at the beauty around
us hut the stream hurries on, nnd still our
hands empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along deeper and wider flood,
among objects most striking and magnificent
We ale animated at the moving pictures and en-
joyment and industry around US; we are excited
at some short-lived disappointment. The stream
bears US on. and our joys and our griefs are
alike left behind We may be shipwrecked,
but we cannot be delayed; whether rough or
smooth the river hastens on till the roar OF the
ocean is in ears, and the tossing of the waves
is beneath our feet, and the floods are lifted up
around us and we take our leave of earth and its
inhabitants, until of our future voyage there is
no witness save the Infinite and Eternal. "

TRUTHFUL UTTERANCEs.-A writer in the New
York Independent thus expresses great national
truth -. There is one lesson that it seems must
be burned into the nations heart and brain be-
fore it will be realized. That is that the institu
ton of slavery not only depraved the hearts of
the masters but it also perverted the understand
ing. The great truth is yet to be received that
no man, reared up and educated under that in
huence, is capable of acting and reasonn
Alright. 1t is true you may hear announced the
highest sentiments of honor and the most elo-
quent invective and denunciaton from southern
lips but where will you find that honor which
in practice is fidelity, honesty, and evincing
regard for the rights of others, or that sound
logical argument starting from true principles
and coming to solid conclusions, in all the south
for the past fifty years? Calhoun voluble
speaker, rapid thinker, and a most skillful de-
batter. But he a sophist, and his scphistry
has been the ruin of his advocates.
Our President johnson is indebted to that
school for all that he has, and for all that he
wants. The same egotsm and self-conceit which
characterizes southern men, and the same So
phistical reasoning, blinds him. God is teach
ing us, through him as illustration, that no
southern is rorthy or qualified TO guide the af-
fairs of our great nation. The lesson we have to
learn is, that men whose hearts and minds have
been perverted by sustaining great wrong-a
crime against God and humanity-can never be
relied upon. Having no principles, and acting
upon expediency only, their pledges and promises
cannot bind or hold them. Their interest directs
their honor, and their professions OF yesterday
no more control their actions OF to-day than yes
terday's wind directs the course of the snip 10
day. Men Thus taught and schooled can never
exalt our nation to the greatness and influence
which our glorious institutions qualify US TO
hone ~

A Good Look ut Hnr em Life.

Mrs. Emmeline Lott, an English gov
erness, who was employed for some months
with Ismael Pscha As teacher to his son,
has recently published brace Of curious
volumes; entitled "Harsm Life il Egypt and
Constantinople. The subjects handled
therein have often been touched upon be-
fore; but never, we believe, so fully and freely
as by Mrs. Lott, who, like the true Bri,on
that she was, disgusted with nearly every
thing that she saw. Her pictures of harem

1t has been affirmed by eminent agricul-
turists that hay could be safely deposited in
the NOW in a semi-green state, and come out
green, fragrant and exceedingly palatable to
stock, by sitting upon each load from four to
six quarts of airslacked lime. The phloso-
ply of it lies in the chemical fact that lime
is powerful absorbent. Rev. +. Willis, of
this city, tested this process last season. 1t
will be remembered that the weather was
most unpropitious for making hay Finding
that it would be impossible 10 save his hay
by out door exposure, he carted 1t into his
barn in heavy, green condition He sifed
the lime upon it, and it cured handsomely,
and came out this spring as inviting as flow
ers pressed in = herbarium. His horses and
stock devour it greedily, and prefer it to the
best sun-cured hay.
This is valuable "chip' Of knowledge
for farmers. Necessity often compels hay
makers to choose between the alternatives of
leaving out in drenching rain, a few loads
of half-cured hay, thereby spelling it, or
hurrying it into the barn with right smart
chance of its heating or moulding. Lime
will absorb all the vegetable moisture and

and fails in many cases to preser i've it. Per

4 VERY CURIOUS ISCiDEyT.-The Baton
Rough A,luocdfe relates the following strange
incident of the fight az Port Hudson.
That our fire not without effect was
evident to US from the manner IN which their
batteries kept shifting position. On one occ-
aston this change of quarters was brought a
bout by thenselfs in rather an unusul mann
er. Captain Coffin having received instruc-
tions to be very economical in the use of his
ammunition, had loaded and aimed his "a
pound gun, and leaving it to wait for the
enemy to show themselves, he sat down be-
hind the parapet and became engaged in con-
versation with some other officers. Sud 1rnly
he heard the report Of his guns discharged
aud looking up with some anger, supposing
that his gunner had touched her off without
waiting for orders.
He saw, from the recoil Of the gun and
from the smok, lowering over the vent, that
the gun had been fred, and yet the Slow
match was quietly burning in its position.
and not a man was standing in the battery.
Just than an officer oflight artillery, who had
observed the whole affair, called out to Capt
ain Coffin that the enemy had fred his gun.
On examination 1t proved to be so. A par
rott shell or shot had come right over the
gun aid grazed it on the upper part of the
scratch. The friction which thi IS produced
had been sufficient to igite the prf ming pow
der at the vent, and discharged the peace. 1t
now appears that the projectile could not
have been thrown truer than it was, making
its way directly into the battery from which
the shot had come, and the FEEDER al gunners,
probably supposing that we had got exact
range and intended opening upon them, linn
bered up, and speedily changed their locali-

pensive lace frill Of tn, pantaletes descended
no lower than ust to kiss the top of the long
white stocking somewhere in the region OF

adorned with much elaborate fiutiHg in blue
ribbon. Over this was worn a litilt cloak of
black velvet, which must have col BIT ever so
much yard, and all the margins oFthis were
studded thickly with small silver buttons. On
the fair head of tine young person under
