A RESTLESS SEA.

The sea is not only the emblem Of change
1t Is itself the cause, directly or indirectly
of nearly all the physical changes that tax,
place in the world Ascend the mountaie
summit, and there, amid the crags where
the eagle builds her eyrie, and the heather
grows in the blue immeasurable silence in
heaven, you tread the shores of a former
sea, whose shells and corals embedded in
the rocks are still as perfect and beautiful
as when the last retiring wave rippled over
them.
Descend into the stony chambers of the
earth, and there in the darkness of the
quarry you will see the petrifed skeletons of
fish that once swan in the waters, and the
sands that formed the shores of unknown
seas, and the undulating ripple marks left
behind by the ebb and flow of long forgot
ten tides. We cannot name a single spot
where the sea has not some time or other
BEEN
Every rock that now constitutes the firm
foundation of the earth was once dissolved
in its waters, lay as mud at its bottom, or
as sand and gravel along its shore. The
materials of our house were once deposited
in its depths, and are built upon the floor
of an ancient ocean. What are now dry
continents were once ocean beds: and what
are now sea beds VIII be future continents.
Every where the sea is still at work-en-
croaching upon the eshore-undermining the
boldest cliffs on the coasts by its own direct
agency. And where it cannot reach itself,
it sends Its emissaries to the very heart of
deserts, and the very SUBMITS of mountain
ranges, and the very innermost recesses of
eontinents-there to produce constant dilap-
idation and change. It's own waters are CON
fned.by the shore line; but no voice has ev-
er said to its feet footed winds aud its view
less vapors, Hitherto shall ye come and no
further. They rise from their ocean bed,
these messengers of the sea, and pursue
their fight along the sky until some lofty
peak far in the interior arrests them; and
they discharge their watery burden into its
bosom, forming the sources of streams, and
rivers, and glaciers that carry on the work
of change where the roar of the sea itself is
never heard.-Mcllillaa IN Family Treasat-

THE DOMESTIC WOOL TRADE.

The development of the domestic wool
interests during the civil war has to no in
considerable degree compensated for the
losses on the cotton crops. The wool trade
has rapidly grown into importance, and has
now become one ofthe great interests of the
country. The statistice ofthe last five years
attest its growing value as branch of ma
tional Industry. In 1860 we imported 3d.
600, 200 lbs., and produced 10000, 900 lbs,
making making a total of 93,000,0 600 lbs.
In 1864 our imports amounted to 75,000,0 600
lbs, and our product to 90,000,000 lbs,
making total of los, ,070, 900 lbs, being an
increase of 72,000,0 600 lbs, or II per cent.
in four years.
The statistics of the wool crop of the
year 1865, are necessarily too incomplete to
admit of any thing beyond an approximate
estimate. But the indications are, that it
will amount to not less than Is, 900, 900 lbs.
The bulk of the clip in some sections is still
in the farmers hands and the finer grades
are held back for higher prices. The mar
ket however is extremely active, and the
crop is coming forward with a rapidity that
compares most favorably with the currents
of trade a few years ago. The New York
sales last week amounted to not less than
100000 lbs. In fleece ranging from sixty
to eighty cents per. pound. The sales in
Boston last week reached total of $4,000
lbs
New York City is the great receiving and
distributing depot for the increasing wool
trade of the West. As an example of the
heavy business done, it may be stated that
a house in Barclay street, has now in one lot
pile of 175,000 lbs, of Michigan fine
white wool. This house is probably the
largest in the trade. 1t has now a stock Of
not less then l,000,000 lbs of foreign and
native wool on hand. Other firms expert
ence corresponding activity, and it may be
fairly affirmed that the trade was never so
active as at the present season.
1t remains to be seen whether the remark
able development of the home supply of
wool will continue increasing in the ratio of
the last FIVE years. In order to determine
this question, we must take into considera-
ton the high price and scarcity of cotton,
which compelled consumption of wooden
goods and stipulated the production ty the
sudden demand, which sent up rates to a
high figure. It is evident, however, that
while prices may and undoubtedly viii rule
lower, that the market viii not be seriously
affected by the supply Of cotton for several
years to come. The cotton now coming to
market is the product of former crops, and
will be quickly absorbed The growing
cotton crop of 1866 viii barely yield sufi-
cient for home consumption. For this sup
ply we may expect an active foreign compe-
tition, that win prevent any marked or inn
mediate reduction that en- effect the pro-
duction of wool. In the mean time the
trade will continue to obey the impulse that
it has received. Accounts from the West

EXERCISE AND BEAUTY.

The exercise of the mind gives to its owner
blessings he otherwise would not enjoy
The evils of the mind, like diseases of the
body, may be cured by its exercise Let
the man who is melancholy naturally, or
through physical imperfection, apply him
self to the contemplation of some of the
numerous subjects in nature or art, and he
will find probably little time for thoughts
of a distressing character. Like the body, the
mind will expand, become healthier, more
elastic, agile, stronger and buoyant by exer-
cise Let rs now go from mind to matter,
and see what exercise does for that How
many carefully bred lady has envied the
appearance of one of her own sex laboring
in the fields, or attending to the duties found
in the poor mans home The well develop
ed bust, the firm tread, the bright eye, the
ruddy cheek and the happy smile, have all
been obtained by exercise. While the fine
lady has been reclining upon her couch,
enervating her body, the less luxurious wo-
man, from circumstances, has been compell-
ed to be up and stirring. She has breasted
the morning breeze, and used every muscle
in the duties she has been performing, be-
fore the other commenced her day of trihing
Without exercise the bodily powers decay;
with it, this is not only prevented, but the
powers are greatly increased. Let, then,
the lady who values her health and her
beauty labor hard for them. Let her bear
in remembrance that to be beautiful she
must be healthy, and to be healthy she must
exercise both mind AMI body. A proper
amount of exertion will bring the bloom
upon the cheek. To the skin, that was dry
and shriveled, it viii give softness and rich
ness; the eye that was lustreless will be
frightened, and lips that were parched and
cracked viii be ruby like by its influence.

ADVERTISE.

Goods are like girls, they must 90 when
they are in fashion and good looking. or else
a yoke of oxen would not draw them after
ward. The man that advertises most, does
the most business, because he does not make
one stock last a lifetime IF you want to
borrow money-if you want to lend money
If you want to rent farm-if you have
one to sell advertise. IF your horse, COW,
pig, colt, sheep or oxen get astray, advertise
them right off, and do not runa chance eof los
ing them altogether or having to pay as
much as they are worth in charges for keep
ing. IF you are shoemaker, tailor, a
blacksmith, or any kind of a mechanic, show
people that you arc not ashamed of being a
mechanic, by advertising If you keep a
hotel make it known
When people see man advertise they know
he is business man. The world is full of
folks that want.-Some want to sell, some
want to by, and the only way to meet these
wants, and make money, is to advertise.
Advertising is like money-if followed up.
Merchants think nothing of paying forty
dollars for one sign, with nothing but their
names on it. Well, what do you thing of
having a thousand signs a week in news

ment to the city and county each week.

A BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT Shortly be-
fore the departure of the lamented Heber
for India, he preached sermon which con-
tanned this beautiful sentiment
Life bears us on like the stream of a
mighty river. Our boat first glides down
the narrow channel-through the playful
murmurings of the little brook and the wind
ings of its grassy borders. The trees shed
their blossoms over our young heads; the
flowers seem to offer themselves to the young
hands we are happy in hope, and grasp
eagerly at the beauty around us--but the
stream hurries on, and still our hands are
empty. Our course in youth, and manhood
is along wider and deeper food, amid OBJ
jects more striking and magnificent. We
are animated at the moving pictures and en-
joyments and industry around us; we are
excited at some short lived disappointment.
The streams bear US on, and our Joys and
griefs are alike left behind us. We may be
shipwrecked, but we cannot be delayed !;
whether rough or smooth, the river hastens
to its home, till the roar of the ocean is in
our ears, and the tossing of the waves be-
meath our feet, and the floods are lifted up
around us, and we take our leave of earth
and its inhabitants, until of our future voy-
age there is no witness save the Infinite and
Eternal

and mained and scsrred,-
Myself and father, brother, nephews, sons; and
Was slways armed with pocket pistol, dirk, and
bowie knife.
Once in while, left the ranks to visit Ander-

To aid my fellow soldiers there their prisoners to
kill:
Ny eyes how 'twould have made you laugh if
yon could just have seen
How gaunt and furnishing they looked, bow squal-
id, sunk, and lean.

And knock another on the head, to help along

And very poor and hard beside:-oh well but

To seize the niggers by the throat, or brand them

'Tis said they are about rise, and that is just

Why we shah need some stringent, sound, pro-

They're wanting very much, at home, powerful

coLoRs AS Applied TO DRESS.

Few people give themselves the trouble
to understand the rules ofcolor. They con-
slider them as belonging to an abStruse sci
ence. The principles, which are supposed
to be too much wrapped in mystery to be
worth the trouble of acquiring by any but
professional persons, are those comprehen-
ded in the laws of contrast of color and
contrast of tone
First, as regards contrast of color There
are three primary colors-red blue and yal-
low. From these every other color is form
ed, and each has its perfect harmony in its
complementary color The complementary
of each simple color is formed by the union
Of the other two land is therefore called the
secondary that is, green being the MKT
ure OF blue and yellow is complementary to
red violet being formed of red and blue, is
complementary to yellew; and orange,
compound of red and yellow, to blue.
Each of these colors, when placed near
its complementary, intensifies its effect
Green causes red to appear redder, blue
adds brighter tint TO orange, and yellow
enhances the color of violet In other
words, every color looks its purest and best
when it is beside its complementary.
BY means of this simple law of contrast,
therefore, we have the power of imparting
any tint that we choose to the complexion,
and Of rendering our costume agreeable to
the eye by the harmony produced by prop
erly contrasted colors and we may learn to
avoid increasing the undesirable tints of a
sallow complexion by the juxtaposition of
blue or violet, or rendering forid complex
ion still more high-colored by contrasting it
with green. On the other hand, ladies with
golden hair and clear compilations will see
that they should wear blue in preference to
any other color, harmonizing agreeably, as
it does, with the former, without exercising
any i'll effect on the latter while those up
ON whom nature has bestowed dark hair
and a rosy complexion should consider green
as their especial color
Very dark people may wear extremely
light brown, gray or slate color with i'm
punity, but those who have light complex
ions and light brown hair should only ven
ture upon pure white and the light tones of
the three primaries, bearing in mind that,
wherever there is agreeable contrast there
is agreeable harmony Boudor
