An Eccentric Divine.

The Rev. Zeb. Twitchel was the
most noted Methodist preacher in
Vermont, for shrewd and lau-hable
sayings. In the pulpit he maintain.
suitable gravity of manner and ex-
preston, but out of the pulpit he ov-
eraewed with fun. Occasionally he
woald. if emergency seemed to re-
quile. introduce something queer in a
sermon for the sake of arousing the
tagging attention Of bis hearers.
Seeing lis audience getting sleepy,
he paused in his discourse and dis
cussed as follows:
Brethren, you havn't any idea OF
the sutfcrings Of our missionaries in
the new settlements on account OF
the mosquitoes; in some Of these re-
eions they are enormous. A great
lnaay of them would weigh a pound.
and they viii get on logs and bark
when the missionaries are going
along"
Ry this time all eyes and ears were
open, and he proceeded TO finish his
discou Sc.
The next day one of his congrega-
called him to account for telling lies
in his pulpit.
There never was mesqucto that
would weigh pound said he.
But | didn't say enc of them

many: and | think million of them

"Bat you said they barked At the

The Value Of Peat as Fuel.

The results Of numerous expert
ments, both practical and scientific,
have already proved that American
peat, however rude'y prepared, will
answer all the requirements of per.
feet fnel, more economical than wood
or coal. When solicited, it is equal in
value to any other fuel for almost any
purpose. Its composition is closely
allied to wood and coal, containing
carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitro.
gen, with less waste in burning than
the best of coal.
The political power of any country
depends upon the development Of
home manufactures These, as we'll
IS the comfort, health and high civil
ization Of the people, depend upon
an abundant supply of cheap, good
fuel, widely difused over the face of
the country. Since we have destroy

manufacture but locomotion, is des-
tined TO be the great source of ccm-
fort and wealth. Everything, there
fore, which tends to increase the
knowledge of the existence and use
Of peat, as well as the treatment for
improving its quality, and that heat
producing efficiency, should be rank
ed as great national blessings.
The purposes to which peat fuel
can be applied, are as wide as those Of
wood or coal. For domestic purpo-
ses it is superior 10 either, exccptthat
the peat requires replenishing oftener
than coal fire, and less so than
those of wood. 1t burns in open
CRATES like camel coal. It's great ad-
vantage as locomotive fuel is that
burns with great freedom, gives in
tense heat, and throws off 10 cinders.
Valuable as this fuel is, and situated
as it is at our own doors, we believe
it can be excayated, dried, and made
ready for use with less labor and cap
ital than coal can be mined in Penn.
sylvania; yet peat deposits are so di.
versiied, that the cost pf transport.
ing the fuel to the place Of consump-
ton would be more than the cost of
transporting wood.
Another of the great benefits
which we anticipate from the use Of
peat, is the saving from further de.
sruetion of the timbered lands of all
the older States, as well as the prai-
rie regions of the West. The truly
pllilanthropic minds of the present
generation should at once be awaken.

the poor. The subject is even wor-

ture, 70 encourage the development

one of the best methods OF preserving
the timbered lands, which add so
much to the beauty, health and
wealth of any country, where duly

A song.
PROM wHIrrIEn's NEW VOLUME.

PROM wHITrIERs NEW VOLUME.
The harp at Natures advent strung
Has never ceased to play;
The song the stars Of morning sung
Has never died away.
And prayer is made and praise is given.
By all things near and far;
The ocean lookcth up 10 heaven,
And mirrors every star.
Its waves are kneeling on the strand,
AS kneels the human knee,
Their white locks bowing TO the sand,
The priesthood OF the sea.
They pour their glittcring treasure forth
Their gift Of pearl they bring.
And all the listening hills Of earth
Take up the song they sing
The green earth sends her incense up
From many mountain shrine;
From folded leaf and dcwy cup
She pours her sacred winc
The mists above the morning rilis
Rise white as wings of prayer;
The alter curtains Of the hills
Are sunsets purple air.
The wind with hymns Of praise are loud,
Or low with sobs Of pain,
The thunder organ oi the cloud,
The dropping tears o; rain.
With dropping heads and branches crosse
The twilight forest grieves,
Or speaks with tongues Of Pontaeost
From all its snnlit leaves.
The blue sky is the temples arch,
Its transept' earth and air,
The music of its starry march
The chorus Of a prayer.
To nature keeps the reycrent frame
With which her years began,
And all her signs and voices shame
The prayeriess heart OF man.

found any plums in his end of it.
Well. after the game bad been played
some time, the mate prevailed on the
steward to place the end that had no
plums in it next the captain. The
captain no sooner saw the pudding
than he discovered that he haa the
end that had no plums i'll it.
Picking up the dish. and turn
ing it in his hands, as if merely to
examine the china, he said: This
dish cost me two shillings i'll Liver

without design, with the plum end
next to himself. Is it possible. y
said said the mate, taking up the
dish: Il shouldn't suppose It was
worth more than shilling" and, as
If in perfect innocence. he put down
the dish with the plum end next to

BEET SUGAR IN ILrISoIs.-The
Agricultural editor Of the ". y.
IriJune-N. G. Meeker Of Illinois
reports favorably as to the operations
of the Illinois Beet Sugar Company.
He says:
We think we have important news
regarding beet sugar. Last year a
number of enterprising capitalists Of
Springfield, Illinois, organized a com
pany for the purpose OF making beet
sugar. The place selected was Chats
worth, Livingston County. Illinois,
and the works were under the diree-
ton Of the Messrs. Genner, the orig
inal projectors.
They planted 400 acres, mostly
fresh prairie, aud raised crop of
1900 tons of fine beets, at 4 cost Of
"a per ton in the pits. The varieties
were the White Silesian and the I'm
perial, and upon test of various
parts Of the crop, the average yield
Of fair refining sugar is j per cent.
This is confirmed by analysis made
at Belcher's Sugar Refinery. ST.
Louis. When refined, the yield is 81
per cent. of sugar, equal to New
York refined B. Quite numb r Of
barrels have been made, and the
works are in operation this wia:er.
When all the beets are worked up.
the yield must reach nearly 100000
pounds of refined sugar. The start
ing Of new works and expensive ma
chinery are always difficult. and this
company has had lis share, and there
has been delay. But this delay has
been Of use in settling the question
whether beets can be kept in large
quantities during the fall and winter
months. They find that the loss du-
ring four months is only one per cent
The conclusion of this vast expert
ment, worthy Of the Prairie State, is,
that beuts can be grown on the raw
but rich soil of the west, as we'll as
on the highly fertilized soils of Bel
gium and France; that the yield of
sugar is almost precisely the same.
and that the bee,s can b. kept till
they can be used.
The Importance of these facts
can scarcely be over-estimaied. That
prairie region is equal in extent TO
England, France, Spain and Portugal
combined, and ON almost every acre
the beet can be cultivated. Under
lying are ineNhaustible beds Of coal,
and people fully competent to en-
ter upon this new enterpi ise are ready.
Sugar is next in Importance to wheat.
A beet sugar crop upon these prairies
will be Of greater value than the corn
crop. Granting these to be facts,
the time cannot be distant when
sugar will be sent from the West 10
New York. and exported to foreign
countries.

HUsK MATTRESSES Feather beds
are injurious. Curled hair makes the
very best mattress, but is expensive !;
the next best thing is corn-husks, a
cheap material. and accessible to all.
The inner hnsks, or shucks, as they
are called in some places, allowed to
curl up little, are used without any
preparation. 4 softer bed is made
BY Sitting the husks in strips, half an
inch or so in width; fork may be
used to facilitate stripping. The best
husk bed We have ever seen was made
from the husks of green corn, shre-
ded by drawing through flax hotch-
el. Husks-beds should be opened
about once in six months, the husks
shaken out from the fine particles and
dust, be spunkled, and allowed to lay
in the sun for while. Treated in
this way the husks will be almost as
good as new. We give this timely
lint in order that in hnsking time
those who would enjoy the luxury of
husk bed may take measures to
secure the necessary material.
