wife are about equally large. An extra
charge is made for procuring husbands
with aristocratic titles.

ARTIFICIAL GoLD.-This material is
manufactured largely in the United
States into imitation jewelry and other
articles. 1t is scarcely distinguishabIe
from gold except by the inferior specif-
ic gravity, and it is matter of surprise
to any one to learn that it does not con-
tain single grain of the precious met
al. 1t is made by taking 100 parts of
pure copper, IL of pure tin, 6 Of mag
nesia, of tartar of commerce, SO of
sal ammoniac, and 1.6 of unslaked lime.
The copper and the other substances
excepting the tin) added, little at a
time, and the whole we'll stirred for
half an hour, SO as to produce perfect
mixture, when the tin is thrown in and
stirred around until melted. The cru
chile is then covered, and the fusion
kept up for twenty-five minutes and the
scum taken off, when the substance is
ready for use. 1t is malleable and due
tile, and can be worked in any form,
even into leaves like gold.

What we call life is the introduction
to life, rather than life it is the vestibule
of the temple, and not the temple.
These Affections are but for a moment
and they are to be followed byan etern-
al weight Of glory. Though they may
appear long now they win seem very
short then. 1t will seem a very short
journey to have reached such a home,
and very brief battle to have won such
a prize. Life itself is short, and, there
fore, our troubles cannot be long: bat
eternity is long, and there will be no
troubles there. That is always reflec-
ton which may, in some degree, modi-
fly our grief.

THE HEROIC RUSSELL.

MIR. John 7. Foster has been writing
the history of the part New Jersey
bore in the late struggle. In foot
note to his description of the first bat
tie of Bull Run, he gives a new story
about Mr.. VIM. Ii. Russell, who fur
nished the London Times with such an
exaggerated account of the panic on
that famous occasion. He says:
General McAllister (of the First New
amusing account of the manner in
which VIM. Ii. Russell, of the London
Times, fed from the field:
"a civilian, with a broad brimmed
hat, his face pale as death, came riding
down the road at a furious rate. / or
dered him. to halt. He, very much ag-
itated and frightened, said, 4 am CT
william, and must pass on No, you
can't pass, replied, my orders are to
stop everybody. He then said, q am a
bearer of dispatches to Washington, and
it is imperative that 1 should go on
"G on cannot pass until this panic is
stopped, was my answer.
Here are my papers, look at them,
at The same time pulling them out OF
his pocket.
IrepIied, mo time to examine pa
pers now; wait till we are through
with this job, and we will consider
your case"
He again implored me in pitiful tones,
to let him through, whereupon l said
''There is my commander, go to him, .
pointing to Col. Montgomery. He went
to the Colonel, and had some convers-
alton with him, when Montgomery.
Disguised with the mans cowardice,
raising himself up in the saddle, cried
at the top of his voice: "Iet that man
60" i did so, when the stranger put
spurs to his horse, and made the very
stones of the pike fly behind him. That
man was no other than Russell, the cor.
respondent of the London Times.
