Who is Imp unity?

During the epidemic fever of 1858,
a well-to-do planter in a certain region
Of Mississippi, used to send down his
cotton by his trusty slaves, without ven
turing into the "city''-about fity-fye
houses himself. After short ex-
perience, however, he fancied that his
factor was taking advantage of circum-
stances, and determined to 60 down and
look after the next wagon load in propr7a
personal He was not little afraid, how
ever, of "Yellow Jack"-and fsmall
blame to him" 50 he resolved on
first consulting with friend, as to the
propriety Of his venturing into the epi-
demic-infested locality.

"Oh, no." responded his friend,

you please with impunity."

Il is not too late to mulch dwarf pears
which have been neglected. A few
inches of barnyard manure thrown
around their roots, extending out as far
as the roots are supposed to extend, will
be of great advantage. In the spring
this manure should be turned under
the soil.

The Floating Grindstone.

The following is said to have occurred
among some simple fishermen on the
English coast A party were gathered
together on a rocky promontory just
toward dark, to see a wonder, floating
griadstone. AS such things were quite
valuable in those days, boat was soon
manned and away they went, the mover
of the expedition being in the bow of
the boat. As they approached the
grindstone, this man planted his foot on
the edge of the boat ready for spring.
Presently he cried ont GAN my own,
and none for nobody" and sprang off
upon the grindstoDe. Lo! to his great
surprise he sank under the water, and
presently came popping up again, with
his head within the charmed circle, to
be greeted with roars of laughter. He
had loaped into a sheet of sea foam,
which had gathered within large hoop.

MISCELLANY'
Helen Grey.

BY CHRISTINA G. RosErT1.
Because one loves you, Helen Grey,
Is that q reason you should pout,
And like March wind veer about,
And frown, and say your shrewish say?
Don't strain the cord until it snaps,
Don't split the sound heart with your
wedge,
Cont cut your fingers with the edge
OF your keen wit; you may, perhaps.
Because you're handsome, Helen Grey,
> Is that a reason to be proud?
Your eyes are bold, your laugh is loud,
Your steps go mincing on their way;
But so you miss that modest charm
Which is the surest charm of all
Take heed, you may yet trip and fall,
And no man care to stretch his arm.
Stoop from your cold height, Helen Grey,
Come down, and take a lowlier place,
Come down, to fill it now with grace;
Come down you must perforce some day
For years cannot be kept at bay,
And fading years will make you old;
Then in your turn will men seem cold,
When you yourself are nipped and grey.

Pulpit Politics.

asks:
Is it strange that many Northern
politicians and a portion of the North
ern press should continue to bespatter
the South with foul aspersions, when
their clergy-claiming to be men of
God-set them the example every re-
curing Lords day +? What must we
think of that religion whose pro-
fessors, sinstead of winning us with
love and gentle kindness, profanely
aliege that we are identical with the
= great arch-enemy of mankind? Will
it be credited that, at conference of
ministers of the Holy Gospel of
Christ, held in Philadelphia, that city
of brotherly love, certain minister
remarked that, "if they were given
IA good supply OF good men, neither
&EbADevll nor the South could break
(shern down" To which Bishop Ames
remarked: ".They are both the same,
brother at which piece of reverend
wit, it is conceded, that there was
much daughter among the assem-
bled clergymen.
A set of political sinners and dema-
gogues at town caucus of the party,
would have behaved with as much
decency and propriety. And are
1these men followers Of the meek and
lowly Saviour, who preached and
practiced peace and love? Verify, it
appears that they do need "a good

Novel Discoveries.

A late Paris paper contains the fol-
lowing:
The peasants who dwell on the
shores of the lake of Switzerland had
often stated that, at short distance
from the land, rows of stakes might be
seen through the water, emerging
from the mud Of the bed. No interest,
however, was attached to the pheno-
menon till about eight years since.
~ theSe end of 1856 the water of the
e Of Zurich sank considerably,
the thrifty proprietors of land
he bank proceeded at once to add
their estates the portion of the lake
bed left bare, by constructing perma-
nent dykes against the return of the
water.
While these works were being car
ried on, row, or rather q sysem,
of stakes was discovered at some
little depth below the surface. Exca-
vations were begun at this spot, and
the result was to disinter a great
variety of objects, which proved that
large number of human beings had
once had their dwellings supported
over the water by the stakes. Curiosity
having been once aroused, researches
prosecuted not only at Obemeil-
where the first discovery was
b, but all over Switzerland. It
gradually established that the
near the shore of almost every
lie Swiss lake supplied similar
lence. At some primeval period
population of considerable density
lived in huts constructed on
