BEAUTIFUL SENTIMENT Shortly before
the departure of the lamented Heber for
India, he preached sermon which con-
tained this beautiful illustration:
"Life bears us on like the stream of q
mighty river. Our boat at first glides down
the narrow channel-through the playful
murmurings of little brook, and wind
ings of its CLASSY 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 u.s.
But the stream hurries on, and still our
hands are empty. Our course in youth and
manhood is along deeper and wider flood,
among objects more striking and magnifi-
cent. We are animated at the moving
pictures and enjoyment 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 us. We may be ship
wrecked, but we cannot be delayed, wheth-
er rough or smooth. The river hastens on,
till the roar of the ocean is in our ears and
the tossings of the waves is beneath our
feet and the floods are lifted up around US,
and we take our leave of earth and its in
habitants until of our future voyage there
is no witness save the Infinite and Eternal" I"

No MORE UGLY ONEs.-Somebody pro-
poses, in the Erening Post, that Congress
shall lay duty of one hundred dollars on
ported from abroad, and also on American
pictures of the same class As great art
lists, like great poets, are always born, not
made, this eminent statesman also thinks
" it would be well for Congress to pass an
act prohibiting absolutely the painting of
pictures which would sell for less than a
thousand dollars" This writer entertains
the shrewd opinion that the people are
not able to judge for themselves what
pictures they ought to buy" and as he
lieves in fine works only" he would
have Congress appoint committee to act
accordingly. If this were not jest it
would be unctuously illustrative Of the
current disposition to abstract all authori-
ty, on all subjects, from the people, and
place it in the hands Of Congress. Jest
though it be. it still shows us how natur-
ally power steals away from the many to
the few," and how the short-sighted assist
it in so doing, wholly unconscious at the
same time that they are shackling the
limbs of liberty. A wag capitally shows
up this idea of protecting" artists by
soliciting the people to join with him in a
petition to Congress to interdict photo
graphers from photographing ugly people,"
As he pertinently remarks, such meas
ure would be great boon to the cultivated
minds whose love for the beautiful is so
often shocked by cheap pictures and homely
photographs" We agree with him deci-
dedly.

Some Young men marry dimples, son

Some young men marry dimples, some
even marry ankles, the contest, however,
generally lies between the eyes and hair.
The mouth, too, is occasionally married :
the chin not so often. Poor partners,
those you will own. But young men do
marry all these, and many other bits and
scraps of wife, instead of true thing.
Such as the marriage is, such is the after
life. He who would marry wife must
marry a woman. If he can meet with one
of equal social position, like education,
similar disposition, kindred sympathies,
and habits congenial to his own, let him
marry. But let him beware of curl, or a
neck, however swanlike. Young ladies
also make some queer matches, and unite
themselves to whiskers.

ADVICE TO MARRIAGEABLE GIRLS
Punch's pocket book contains the follow
ing from the pen of "a single woman of the
world >
If man wipes his feet on the door
mat before coming into the room, you may
be sure he will make a good domestic hus-
band. If a man in snuf1ing the candle
puts it out, you may be sure he will make
a. stupid husband. If man puts his
handkerchief on his knees while taking
ddteSnt dtS t1a Husband. In the same way, always
mistrust the man who will not take the
last piece of toast, but prefers waiting for
the next warm batch it is not unlikely he
will make greedy, selfish husband, with
whom you shall enjoy no brown" at
dinner, no crust at tea, no peace whatever,
at home. The man, my dears, who wears
goloshes, and is careful abaut wrapping
himself up before veuturing into the night
air, not unfrequently makes good invalid
husband, that mostly stops at home, and is
easily comforted with slops. The man
who watches the kettle, and prevents it
boiling over, will not fail, my dears, in his
married state, in exercising the same care
in always keeping the pot boiling. The
man who doesn't take tea, ill-treats the cat,
takes snuff, and stands with his back to
the fire, is brute whom l would not ad-
wise you, my dears, to marry upon any
consideration, either for love or money !;
but most decidedly not for love. But the
man who, when the tea is over, is discov-
cred to have had none, is sure to make the
best husband. Patience like his deserves
to be rewarded with the best of wives and
the best of mothers-in-law. My dears,
when you meet with such a man, do your
utmost to marry him. In the seyerest
winter he would not mind going to bed
frst.'

The Muscatine Journal says that Rev.
A. Damen, Jesuit, of Chicago, lectured to
a large audience in that city, in the Cath
olic Church, in answer to various objec-
tions to Catholicism. 1t may be interest
ing to some of our readers to know that
the lecturer denied the following among
other charges against Catholics That
they pay money for the forgiveness of their
sins; that they are not allowed to read
the Bible; that they are opposed to educa-
ton, denying that they worship images
that they pay divine honors to the Virgin
Mary; that they are prosecuting people;
that Catholic priests are ''dressed up like
monkeys" while conducting divine servi-
ces. He also defended the so-called apoch-
ryphal books of the Bible, declaring that
they rested upon the same authority as the
others, having been decided canonical by
the Council Of Nice, A. D. 324, and that
Protestants reject them because they con-
firm the Catholic creed.

A New Southern Staple.

A new plant has been added to the re-
sources OF our tropical and semi-tropical
regiOns-a new textile which will fnrnisI.
the world with clothing and the means OF
knowledge. We have seen, within few
days, long skeins of a cotton-like fibre,
cotton-iike in whiteness, softness and fine
ness, but much stronger, which is now
produced at the rate of five crops per year
in the State of Vera Cruz, Mexico, where
it has been cultivated for five years by a
Belgian naturalist and botanist, who went
there to pursue his favorite studies and oc-
cupations in a soil and climate which favor
them.
This plant, called the ramie, is a native
of Java, was introduced thence into the
Jardin des Plantes, at Paris, by some
French savan, in 1874; was regarded then
as simply exhibiting the wonderful advan-
tages Of the tropics, being too delicate for
open air culture in cold climates. But
having been planted and tried in warmer
climates than that of France, yet not so
equatorial as that of Java, it has been
found to do as well in them.
1t is due to NJ. Benito Roozl, formerly
chief of the Horticultural Institute, of Bel
GUM, now of Santocomapram, San An
dreas Tustla, State of Vera Cruz, Mexico,
that we can now pronounce it naturaliz-
ed plant of this continent, and his pre-
sent visit to this city will speedily owe its
ic%-cd,,"';ou into the field culture of the
Gulf States, to which IL will parmanentlv
pertain.
The ramie tits Javanese name) is plant
like hemp, contains in its stalk the fibre
for which it is raised, and which is grown
like the sugar-cane, from being planted in
lengths or from its stubble; with this ad-
vantage over the stubble Of the cane. that
each succeeding year it grows better, and
that in Cuba and Lower Mexico it will
furnish five and here at least three cuttings
in the year.
BY new process and some simple ma
chinery invented by Mr.. r. the lint can
be prepared from the stalks, taken fresh
from the ground, in twenty-four hours.
We all know that months of labor and the
entire discoloring of the fibre follows the
treatment by the ordinary process of flax
and hemp, while the ramie comes out
white, clean, pure and unhurt.
Eight hundred pounds of lint to the
acre is to be expected from each cutting of
full growth, in fair land. The culture
is similar to that of cane; but as the plant,
when once set, is hard to eradicate, grows
vigorously, and de6es the influence of
grass or rival plants, cultivation is only
needed to promote its growth. When ripe,
it should be cut; but neglect to do this
causes no special damage, SO that it may
wait days or weeks the will of the free re-
publicans of Mexico and the Union. The
fibre is long, fine and strong; the plant
easy to raise, and hardy in a southern
latitude; its preparation for market is SIM
pie and cheap in cost. Under these cir
eumstances, we may safely pronounce that
it will at an early day take high rank
among our staples.-Ne,0 Orleans Plea

WOMEN IN THE BIBLE.-The Bible is the
book of women; 1t is the only book which
has come down, from the misty ages of an
tiquity that presents US with woman as the
equal and mete of man. From Eve, the
mother of all living, to Mary, the mother
of Jesus, woman always occupies con-
spicuous place in the grand drama Of the
worlds history. Here she is seen as wife
and mother, filling her mission with shrink
ing modesty and gentle frmness. Miriam
and Deborah, Rebccca and Ruth, Sarah
and Esther, shine forth in characters at
once original, unique, consistent and fem
inine. On a still brighter canvass are
drawn the characters of the Marthas' Marys,
and Lydias of the New Testament; Here
they are, as they ought to be, and here
they will remain for ever. Not forward,
not departing from their sphere. not i'm
modest, not masculine. They shine, not
like the sun, but with radiance as mild
and gentle as the light Of the evening star.

BosroN.-A Boston correspondent de-
scribes new mode of avoiding the pro-
hibitory liquor law in that city, by the
formation of drinking clubs, such as were
common in New Orleans and Mobile du-
ring the war. No liquor is sold, but by
the payment of certain sum, man gets a
key that admits him to a private room
where liquors of all kinds stand before him,
without watch, keeper or treasurer. He
helps himself, and says nothing to no.
body" Of course there must be limited
number of keys, for such system would
soon run out among guzzlers to drunkness,
so that only respectable rum drinkers re-
ceive keys.

How much misery may be abated, how
much suffering may be removed by the
voice Upon the heart that is lone and
desolate how sweetly falls the voice Of
sympathy and consolation Why is it,
then, since everything proves-and none
are ignorant of the fact-that all must lie
down in mother earth together, since all
are travellers in this highway to death
why is it that each should be SO sparing Of
that which costs him nothing, but which
might raise the dropping spirits of his
neighbor; and cheer him on his journey
few kind words and kindly looks.

WHOLE No. 548.

Uefmons
Advices from Berlin, up to the 10th ult.
are to the effect that the tide of emigration
for the present year promises to be unpre
cedently large, and Of very desirable ma
terial. The causes which are inducing
this unusual Teutonic exodus are said to bt
numerous, outside the growing attractive
ness of this country-and are largely con
sequent upon the result of the late war
Foremost among these is said to be the
aversion to Prussian military conscription
felt in the newly annexed territory. The
Prussian law, it will be remembered, com.
pels seven years. service Of every able.
bodied boy arriving at certain age, and is
vigorously enforced. To escape this, large
numbers OF new Prussian subjects are pre-
pairing to leave for America.
Even in the old Prussian provinces, the
emigration movement is reported to be very
strong, and in some villages, as many as
one-third of the population are preparing
to leave in the spring, and, in many cases,
have bespoken passage in body. The
weekly steam packets from Bremen and
Hamburg, including five or six extra
steamers, announce that all their places
are taken up to November. Computing
500 emigrants to each trip, this would
make an aggregate of 70, 900 in ten months,
which seems hardly consistent with the
probabilities, especially when We reflect
that, in addition, large numbers-proba-
bly,, as many-will find their way hither
upon sailing vessels and by other routes.
1t is estimated that at least $50 900 Ger
mans will seek homes in this country dur
ing the year 1867, the most of whom will
be of better sort. Fortunately for this
country, the tide of German emigration
this year will set strongly to the far West,
and be composed mainly of agriculturists.
1t is remarked already that comparatively
very few lag in the cities, fact just the
reverse of the tendency of Irish emicra-
ton. The German element is concededly
the most desirable that comes to our shores,
both in social and economic view. As
an industrial element, it is just what is
needed to supply the waste Of war in the
grain growing regions of the West. The
Germans are frugal, law-abiding race,
easily attached to the soil, and blending
readily with our people. Their nationali-
ty is not SO obstinate or pronounced as to
create dangerous class interests, either So
cially or politically. Experience has taught
our people to greet them cordially in every
portion of the country, and to hold them
in high esteem as a valuable auxiliary in
the industrial development of our country.
We therefore hail the intelligence from
Berlin with satisfaction and sincerely hope
that it may prove true.
