WHAT MAKES A LADY.-When
Beau Brummel was asked what
made the gentleman, his quick
reply was, "Starch my lord!" This
may be true ; but it takes a great
deal more to make a lady; F.; and
though it may to some seem sin
gular, | am ready to maintain
that no conceivable quantity of
muslin, silk or satin, edging, frill-
ing, hopping, tlouncing or furbulo-
ing, nor purse, or dress maker,
constitute real lady. Was not
Mrs. Abbot Lawrence just us
much a lady when attired in a
twelve cent calico, in Boston, as
when arrayed in full court dress
at st. James, London?
''Mrs. Washington was said to
be grand lady," says celebra-
ted English visitor, (Mrs. Throp)
."we dressed ourselves in our best
bibs and bands; so we dressed
ourselves in our most elegant
ruffles and silks, and were intro
duced to her ladyship; and don't
you think we found her knitting
and with her. check apron on
She received us very graciously
and easily, but after the compli
ments were over, she resumed her
knitting. There We were without
stitch of work and sitting in
state; but Gen. Washington's lady,
with her own hands was knitting
stockings for her husband.' Does
not that sweet republican simple
ity command your attention.-Ex.

planting community mas not de-
termined to abandon the cotton
cultivation. Next year no more
of the staple will be raised beyond
what the farmer can cultivate
without interfering with his crop
of grain-say a few acres to buy
groceries. Our anxiety to direct
the attention of agriculturalists to
the production of wheat, springs
from conviction that it will prove
the most profitable crop as lead
ing one. When the planter sows
wheat he will have more time to
devote to setting out orchards,
grape culture, stock raising, and
the cultivation of oats, hops, the
castor oil bean and like profitable
products,
1t is not possible III the limits
of a newspaper to more than di-
rect attention to the advantages
and profitableness of these various
products, and the agriculturalist
must look to journals which make
these subjects q speciality for full
information. We have no partic-
ular publication to recommend,
but we advise immediate subscrip-
tion to at least one. 1t is better,
however, to subscribe to the best
one published i'll a locality where
| the. climate and soil are similar
to those of the district in which
you reside. The farmer must re
collect that among at least the
million of persons who are follow
ing the same pursuit as himself,
there are many who are daily dis
covering valuable information
which finds its way into these ag-
ricultural .jouanals; and if he
would be aided in this business by
the observations and suggestions
of a million brains, he must have
access to the channels in which
they pour their information.
Merchants, manufacturers, me-
chanics and other classes in our
State have their organizations
where the observations Of each
are compared, and they all patron
ize journals devoted specially to
their branch of business. Why
should not the same be the case,
with our planters? we refer to
this matter to suggest to our plan
ters how they should start them
selves right in the new era which
is about to commence in the cul-
tivation of our lands. The price
of subscription to your country
paper, a State journal, a periodi-
cal devoted to agriculture and
religious newspaper would not
amount to what the most of far
mers spent for whisky ina month,
and the sale of hog or few doz-
en- chickens will pay the whole
bill. The money you spend for
these publications will bring more
satisfaction to yourself and family
and yield more profit than the
same amount possible could in
vested in any other way. Those
engaged in cultivating the soil
must come to understand that it
will not do in these days to follow
in the same old rut their progeni-
tors run in, or they will be always
! behind in the race. You must
profit by the discoveries and ex-
periments of others. There is no
need to wear away your life in
wrestinga scanty subsistence from
the soil by the seyerest muscular
drudgery. A machine that never
tires and never runs off to vote,
will do as much work as yourself
| and half score Of negroes.

10 We believe that a young
lady by her constant, consistent
christian example, may exert an
untold power. You do not know
the respect, the almost worship,
which young men, no matter how
wicked they may be themselves,
pay to a consistent christian lady,
be she old or young. Often the
simple request of lady will keep
a young man from doing wrong.
We have known this to be the
case very often; and young men
have been kept from breaking the
Sabbath, from chewing, from
smoking, from gaming, just be-
cause a lady for whom they had
great respect requested it.-Ex.

TIE FALLS OF NIAGARA.

We are told by the Buffalo Express, that
the interesting question of geological and
| commercial importance, as to>what period
! Of time is likely to be consumed by the
rails OF Niagara In wearing their way up
the bed of Niagara river, past Tonuwanda
ana Black Rock, until they become at=BHf.
falo the Falls of-Lake Erie, has been raised
anew OF late by some remarkable signs OBJ
served in the rapids above the Horse shoe
Fall, which are thought to forebode an early
downfall OF the rocks forming that magnifi=
cent cataract. If the limestone ledge over
which the river now falls is, as is supposed,
in course of being undermined by a subter-
ranean stream, breaking through rs far back
as nearly half q mile, course the-eo
quences, inevitable and liable to ensue at
any monfent, must be an immense breaking
away OF the face of the cataract, changing
its whole form and appearance-perhsp
converting the perpendicular fall into
shooting rapid down q steep decline. Some
observers at the Falls anticipate this grand
catastrophe at an early day. In conffrma-
ton OF these opinions, we find it stated in
the Hamilton lOntario) Times, that within
few weeks past, " DR.. j. N. Osborne, at
Chippewa, has noted a marked and constant
change in the motion of the rapids at the
point indicated, and it is also reported that
Indications are discovered of the pouring of
subterranean stream into the gulf below
the Falls, which the absence of the mist, it
is thought, would reveal beyond doubt,
The same paper remarks that q gentleman
from the Falls, with whom it has onxefsea,
fully believes that the days of the great
Horse-slio are numbered. 1t was the opin->
ion of Prof Hall, in. has report, that the
effect of continued recession must be to grad
ually diminish the height of the Falls, both
by the rising of the-hcd of the river at their
base, and by the slope of the massive lime
stone to u lower level The thin bedded
Limestone above being swept off, the sue
ceeding shales and marls> of the Onondaga
groupe must Immediately follow, and the
Falls, he thought, may become almost sta
tionary, when their base is at the base of
the mnssiSo sandstone, and their upper line
is, as now, over its upper edge. THIS, Prof.
aali thought likely to be the case, after
tnrt, cy[rceession of about two miles, and
the height of the fail must then he reduced
to ahout eighty feet.

THE ESTABLISHED CHURCH, IN IRELAND
For it must be borne in mind that tho Establish
ment in ireland means more than an endowed
religion; it means an endowed party. It means
the endowment of Toryism, of Irish Toryism,
that is to say, Of orangeism moro OF less open
and avowed. This is q fact deserving of the
most serious consideration, and requiring most
urgently speedy remedy. Are we content with
the endowment of Orangeism Are we content
to stand quietly by whilst Orangcism, endowed
by the State, parades itself before the Irish ma
ton as identical with Government, till the mil
lions take silence for tact approval and
turn against Government in the belief that they
are striking down Orange ascendancyf If not.
we are not satisfied that Fenianisns should flour
ish perenniaily-then we tanst at once strike
at its root, and tho root of Fenianism lies deep
in that system of Orange ascendancy which we
have permitted to work its viii in Ireland
Orangeism proper was the first secret society in
hecouI1try after tho Wiitiamte wars. 1t was not
long in being before it provoked hostile organ
izations; ard the Same cause has been produce
tive of the same effect every year since. A deri-
sive interference was found necessary when the
old Orange Society conspircd against the rights
of the Princess Victoria in order to place the
crown on the head of its own Grand Master
and Parliament has much reason NOS, to ex-
tinguish-a ambition which is again endanger-
ing tho peace of the realm.-Tho Chronicle.

TURKISH LlBERAL1TY.-On the occasion
Of the solemnity of the immaculate Con-
! ception, the Governor of Lanarca, wishing
| to give public testimony of sympathy to-
ward Europeans, expressed II desire to the
Consul of Cyprus to join the French att-
thorities, and accompany them to the Cath
edral of the Fathers of the Holy Land,
where this festival was to be celebrated on
the 9th of December. Conformably to his
request, Ahmet Bey assisted ut divine SER
vice, in company with the French Consul,
and the commander of the imperial corvette
Roland, at that time in the harbor of La
narca.
FROM THE Horse GUARDS TO THE CLOS
TER.-An officer in the guards, who would,
in the ordinary course of events have been
promoted, in about twelve months, to the
rank of captain and lieutenant colonel, who
is little more than thirty years of age, and
had every luxury which wealth could be-
stow, has, after mature consideration, sold
out Of the service, and entered the oratory
as a novice. He will have to go through
probation of four years before he can be
admitted to the priesthood. The officer who
has taken this step is a Catholic of several
years standing-Weekly Register.
zCATHoLIc1TY IN THE NETRERLANps.-
When the last agony of Catholicity was an
nounced in the Netherlands, at the begin
ming of the present century, no man would
have predicted that, in the year 1867, when
the martyrs of Gorcum would be added to
the catalogue of the saints, the Catholics of
Holland would be thirty-seven per cent. of
the epulation of the kingdom; and that the
condition of Catholicity would be such that
King William himself, like anyone Of his
subjects, would be free to return to that
church, under whose fostering care were
exalted the counts of Holland, and the
princes of Orange-those great leaders in
the holy wars of the Crusades, and those
princes who wore tho imperial diadem of
Germany. Three years have just elapsed
since the Archbishop of Utrecht publicly
solemnized the third Centenary of the first
council of that city, by opening with all the
splendOr of the Catholic liturgy, q second
synod.

ARTIFICIAL STONES.

Making stones is q business in st. Louis.
There is q concern there which makes out
of common sand mantle equal to one of
white marble and sells it for about ten dol
lars. The sand in few hours is converted
into rock, precisely similar to the strata and
lodges beneath the earth that have required
ages of aqueous s..-,s igneous action to form.
The process is strictly scientific and chemi-
cal. The materials used are common brown
or white sand, soda, flint, chlorine, and cal
citm. The flint, which is the cementing
agent, is melted by being subjected to
heat, in connection with soda.

The Fremont (Ohio) Journal says: 1T is
not generally known that there exists, about
a milo west of Fremont, remarkable un-
derground stream, with a swift current, and
no outlet above the surface of the ground
this side of Lake Erie. 1t was discovered
several years ago on farm north of the
-Four Mile House, now owned by widow
Shelter, by man who was returning from
. days chopping in the woods. In walking
over . slightly sunken place he noticed .
hollow sonnd and turning, struck the
ground with his axe. The axe broke through
and disappeared, and never has been heard
from since. Further Investigation showed ,
rock nbout six feet below the surface, with
ere nee foot or more wide, in which
WAFER could be seen several feet below. By
tracing its course further down and break
ing through the crust, che same phenomenon
appeared again, and by dropping piece of
wood or other floating substance in the up
Per aperture, it was seen to pass to the
lower one, showing q strong current. A lead
and line let down to the depth of seventy
feet fousd no bottom. The supply of water
is only slightly affected by drouth, and a
pump set up in one of the places above men,
toned, has furnished the purest water to
the whole neighborhood during the late dry
season. 1t is certainly remarkable stream"

MUSIC IN ST. vIrUs's DANCE.

In your issue OF December z, (1he Medical
Record, New York; I noticed an extract
taken from The British Medical Journal on the
effects. of Music on the Insane" 1t reminds
me of a case of chorea which came under my
care several years ago. AS it appears to me,
it corroborates in measure the theories
expressed in tho extract alluded to; and OPP
poses, 80 far as single case can, the views
is intimately associated with or allied to
rheumatism, hence, primarily, q blood dis
ease. The case occurred in 1862. The sub
ject, a young lady about seventeen years of
age, of ordinary parentage, intelligent, with
ford complexion, OF medium stature,
healthy, with the exception that about two
years previous she had chorea of ordinary
severity. Such a case Inever saw, so vi
olently was she thrown about from one part
of the bed to another. To sit or stand was
utterly impossible. Even her bed was faith
fully guarded to prevent her being precipi-
tated to the floor.
to until tonics, anti-spasmodics, anodynes,
stimulants, etc, We're exhausted. Still the
-scene<was unchanged, only that the picture
was more and more horrible. No rcmissions
for sleep; no>repose whatever. Scarcely was
there n moments respite to receive food,
Tongue sore from being frequently caught
between the teeth, flesh wasting, limbs dis
scolored and swollen by repeated bruises,
exhaustion advancing rapidly. Days passed
aTay-ss many as ten or twelve-and all
the while she was completely conscious of
her anguish. An oifieious neighbour, as the
case began to assume threatening aspect,
suggested a trial of music. The suggestion
was, however,, dismissed with scarcely a
favorable thought. After a few days, the
remedy was again proposed, and by this
time had learned that the notion was quite
prevalent in the neiglrborhood that music
was a valuable agent in the treatment Of st.
Vltus,sI dance. l remarked that it was un-
doubtedly worthless, and especially so in a
case of such severity, and supposed it was
again dismissed. At my next visit on the
morning following, to my utter astonisl-
ment, found n violnist and his instrument
con hand" and my patient decidedly more
quite! He was invited, it appeared, the
evening previous, and, taking an adjoining
room, he played ct intervals some pieces Of
plaintive music, the effect of which, as it
was described by the attendants, was truly
marvellous. She slept little before>horn-
ing, and, to abbreviate the recital, the cure
was rapid and completes. In conclusion, al
low me to remark that I have searched my
limited library, and find no alIusion to
music as a remedy in chorea-that is, s
remedy, per &c. Recamier, at tho Hopital
dos Entans 4alades, has long practiced sys-
tematic movements of the affected muscles,
