Tho collection of such a varied and
choice selection of books was tho work Of
forty years with Mr.. S. 1t was not his
intention 10 buy library or accumulate
such Il collection, but his thirst for knowl-
edge. and his inexhaustiblc and unsuitable
love OF reading led him step by step to buy
books that he saw mentioned in his read
ing; and the more lie read, the more lie
bought. Being a gentleman of wealth, he
had agents in London and Paris to pur-
chase many Of the old and rare works as
they were sold from tho libraries of the
nobility of Europe.
The library should bo seen to be appre-
ciated, the artistic skill of the prints, en-
Cravings and illustrations, running as far
back as the twelfth century can alone give
one all idea of what was done and is now
doing in the way Of printing, &c. The
oldest book in the library, was written by
ono of the Gregories, Pope of Rome, and
is something over thousand years DID,
The library is for sale, and VIC understand
that several gentlemen from the North are
bidders for it. II is the wish of the family
of Mr.. Smets, that as it must be sold, that
the State of Georgia would purchase it..
If not taken by tho State or bid for by
some Southern institution, it will pass out
of the State to adorn the shelves of some
Northern gentleman or university. A
catalogue is now being prepared, and if
necessary, will be published, if not, tho il
brary will be advertised and sold private
ly."

But her weeping is all in my eye
Not that Of the cunning coquette.

AN EDITORS TRIALS IN UTAH.

Tho Fidctte, a wido>awake GENTLE pa
per, has, for some time past been published
in Salt Lake City, boarding the Mormon
devils in their own den, to the great dis
comfort of their "saintships." The editor
recently received a letter written in blood
Or red ink which reads
ET- Skedaddle! 1t is the "red hand"
Of the Destroying Angel. and threatens
assassination. Tho editor is not much
frightened by the order, but says:
well, we shall keep the document.
and leave our readers to Judge whether we
are much frightened. If these miserable
hounds and cut-throats think they can init.
m!dato the Fidette, why, they are simply
mistaken. We have spoken plainly in the
past, and VIC shall speak still moro plainly
in the future, holding ourselves account
able only to God, our conscience, and the
laws Of the land"
The following day the editor received
another warning, of which he says: " We

nent remarks from the Galveston Bulletin
of the 18th instant:
We think that few general remarks
here may furnish some information con-
cerning the views entertained in regard to
the future Of the staple. Estimates Of the
growing crop vary from 100000 to J..
100000 bales, which, if proved correct,
would have tendency to increase prices,
though not for two or three months, as the
English market has under is control about
100000 bales. It will be difficult
thing TO make such markets as those of
Liverpool and Manchester understand that
notwithstanding their heavy supply at pre-.
sent, they may be compelled to change
their opinions, and pay higher prices than
those now ruling. By reference to all our
exchanges we note the fact that factors
elsewhere are acting as those here, in with
drawing their samples from the markets,
as they know full welt that they cannot
give satisfaction 70 their planting friends
; at prices ,hss buyers arc offering. If this

TALKING AS FINE ARr.-No man
who can talk we'll, and has sagacity enough
to use his gift for tho advancement of his
worldly interests, need ever be poor. To
the inheritor of ready-made fortune, con-
Versationai gifts are not, perhaps, matter
OF much Importance. Wealth is special
pleader which requires no assistance from
art or nature to win consideration in society,
and the veriest stammcrer and blunderer
that ever misused the parts of speech, need
not despair Of popularity and praise, if he
has had the luck to be born with silver
spoon in his mouth, instead of a silyerv
tongue. Ills money will speak for him.
and to the purpose. Golden opinions arc
easily procured, if you havo the gold
wherewith to purchase them. But to him
who has to make his own way in tho world,
verbal magnetism Gf wo may use the
phrase is a wonderful assistance. Let the
poor LII an thus endowed cultivate his facrl-
ty carefully and use it judicously, and it
will DO sure to enrich him. Ifhe has plenty
OF executive ability, an agreeable fuency
and convincing way Of putting things, so
much the better. Hundreds of profitable
and praiseworthy projects fall to the ground
every year i'll consequence ofnot being
placed in an attractive light by their origin
ators. Ferdinand and Isabella shook their
heads at first at the idea OF sending squad
ron into unknown seas in search of anew

Columbus gave to CASTLE and Aragon,

ufactures i'll which it is used. Like India
rubber, it can bo dissolved into cement
and used in tho manufacture of water

coating of iron OF wood, or for coating ship

COOKERY SCIENTIFICALLY TREATED.

IOlcssor Blot n famous authority i'm
culinary matters, has been giving illustrated
lectures on cookery, in Boston, where his
subject and manner of treating is attracts
much attention. IIo cooked on the Stage
the dishes Of which he discourscd. From
report of his third lecture, published in
tho Boston Post, we extract some genera |
observations Which will be found intcrc4tiug
and useful by tho lalics
An omelet may be made moro flaky by
being set in the oven as soon as done.
Never bring fat TO the table.
Potatoes, when cut into thin slips like q
pencil, make them potatoes Francaise.
The quicker broth cools the longer it
will keep.
Many people mistake rich food for high
seasoned food. Rich food is healthy;
highseasoned food is unhealthy. Rich food
is not stimulating hot food is slim ulating.
In summer make broth every other day.
In baking meat, no matter what kind, +,
always put in some broth. The top of an
oven is always the warmcst. 10 prevent
from burning, grease paper with butter,
and put on the top of the article baking.
This will keep the top Of tho meat or bread
as moist as the bottom. The paper pre-
vents tho steam from rising. You need
only to basic the paper occasionally
Some meats require less timo to bake than
others. Pork and veal, to be hoathy,
should always be ovcrdone.
Speaking Of tho trichnae in meat, the
Professor said that if the meat is overlooked
there vas no danger from it. Many poo
pie have eaten diseased meat without injury.
A whole brigade of the French army, in
l793-and it was an historical fact-was
fed on diseased meat for four or five months;
aud at the end of that time tho men were
apparently as healthy as those of other
brigades which ate wholesome meat. Tho
fact of it was the diseased meat WAS over
cooked, and tho men did not know the
difference.
The Professor could not recommend
diseased moat, but the Object Of referring to
the subject was simply to show the ilnpor-
tance, sometimes, of overlooking meat
at the close Of tho lecture the ladies
came forward to the platform, and, with
spoons, tested some of the Professors cook
ing. 1t was evident that they relisl!ed, as
on tho two previous occasions, the result,
OF his astronomical experiments. The
next lecture will be delivered ON Wcdnes-
day next, at IL o'clock, a. IN.

LYING Too FAsr.-Most people live too
fast in this country. Wo crowl life.-
Without intermission we feed our mental
furnaces with the pitch.pine Of excitement,
and the consequence is that too many of us
collapse long before tho time when we
might be expected in the regular wear and
tear Of life. Business energy is fine thing;
but man is a machine, built upon the COM
pensating principle. Its tendency to aoAis
must be restrained and regulated; other
wise, something is sure to snap prematurely,
and the "wonderful work" be suddenly
shattered. Our men of extraordinary en-
terprise" seem to forget this, or not to
understand it. They allow their brains
and nervous systems no rest. In too many
cases man of this stamp gives neither
God his due, nor nature tho sweet ropose
that sho requires, on the Sabbath day.
Cupidity goes with him to church, and
during the exercises Speculation sits on his
shoulder, and like The tempter at the ear of
Eve, assais his soul with demoralizing
whispers. His thoughts are busy with the
morrow's opportunities for gain, and little
recks he OF the balance that may be struck
against him at the final audit. Thus in
their fierce pursuit of fortune do too many
of our business men break down their men-
tai and physical constitutions, and thrust
aside the paramount considerations which
should affect them as immortal creatures.
We are surprising people, no doubt; but
if we better understood the value ofrest and
'0orship, the majority of us would live
longer and die happier.

The Northern Radicals and Northern
presses insist that the Southern people
are still rebellious and disloyal that they
did not hesitate to express their seLti-
ments in regard to the conduct of the
Government towards them, or to give
utterance to disloyal sentiments. We
would ask these men what the Govern
ment has done Or what is doing to con.
cilliate these people? Have they not
been wheedled into the adoption of every
measure suggested by the Government as
a condition precedent to restoration to
their places in the Union, and is not Con-
gress now considering the propriety of
holding them as conquered provinces
without any political rights whatever ?
Are not the Northern papers and speeches
of Radical Congressman teeming with
the vilest villification and abuse, and the
most atrocious Misrepresentation of every-
thing the southern people are doing ?
Are they not maligned, slandered and de-
nounced on all occasions, and is it strange
that outraged by such treatment and per-
fidy, they should speak 10 terms of indig-
nation and resentment? If they did not
so feel and speak, they would be more or
less than human. Treat them as reason
able, intelligent mem ; keep faith with
them quit attempting to degrade them
below the negroes, lately their slaves ;
look upon them as they, are honorable,
fearless, trut hful men, and fulfill the OBJ
legations you assumed towards them in
the surrender and in the measure subse-
quently adopted to reorganize the States,
and our word for it, there will be no fur.
