Unappreciated Talents.

There is much force as well az
truth in the following paragraph from
the pen Of Rev. Dr. Deemes, albeit il
may be somewhat strongly stated
A man that hath any truth in him
important to be given to his genera
ton, need not much concern himself
as to where he shall speak it. With
what twaddlo about unappreciated
genius are We frequently sickencd |
Young men part their hair in the
middle, roll down their collars, and
go whining among weak school mis-.
ses about the cold world Aud others
dream that if they had ouly such a
position in such city, such an edi.
tors place, such pulpit, such a
theater of display, they would shake
the world. Many young preacher,
in an obscure county parish, has this
temptation. Many a young poet,
who cannot secure a publisher, goes
into this fog. But it is all a mistake
1t is a shrewd old world We have to
deal with, aud it generally knows the
price Of things.
There is little unappreciated genius
little worth keeping that the world
allows itself to lose, and no uttered
sentence worth remembering has ever
been forgotten. The world may APP
preciate some things too his lilly for a
season, but in the long run the value
of all things comes to be ascertained
Go, walk dp and down in the wilder
ness, and say your say, and cry your
cry, and just as sure as the truth is
in it. it will empty the city and fetch
tie people to your voice, or else God
who has most special providence ol
truth, will set you aud your voice
and your cry down in the very heart
of that city, to shake it.
Away with your talk not being ap.
pFociated. Whensver a man in so
eiety talks about his talents beiua
neglected, we may bo sure that they
deserve to be neglected.

The Manufacture of Matches.

The manufacture of those little

Salucd and cared for at about the
same rate as pins, constitute one OF
the most important industrial inter
ests of the country. While nobody

into the supply of clear white pine
lumber, which is needed for other
purposes.
As an instance of the amount OF
timber consumed by a single estab-
lishment, it may be stated that the
one owned by Mr. William Gates, Of
Frank fort, N. Y, uses annually 700,-
900 feet of white pins, making 200,-
600 gross. The number of persons
employed is 300, many Of them being
children, The amount of sulphur
used is 100000 pounds, and Of straw
board for boxes, 100 tuns. Every.

The following is his preface:
Before the civil war, | had for

entirely ceased writing for it. But
when the war was closed, l was not
unwilling to seek rest or relaxation
from the exhausting excitemi mt Of

into entirely new channels of thought
aud interest. In this mood | recoived d
Mr. Bopner's proposal to wr'to SO

the mystery Of their construction
Plot aud cou1terplot, the due pro-
portion of parts, the whole machinery
of a novel, seemed hopelessly outside
of my studies. But after considera
ton came to my relief. | reflected
that any real human experience was
intrinsioally interestosting; that the
life Of an humble family for single
day, even if not told as skillfuly as
Wordsworth sung the humble aspect
of the natural world, or miuutely
faithful as Crabbe depicted English
villagd life, could hardly fail to win
some interest. The habit Of looking
upon men as the children. of God,
and the heirs OF Immortality can
hardly fail to clothe the simplest and
most common elements of daily life
with importance, aud even with dig
nifty. Nothing is trivial in tho edu
cation Of the kings son. By inter
